Chapter 375 Fragrant Honey 20
Unfortunately, sometimes things in the world are not always as expected. Just when Xu Feng was still trying to improve his relationship with Jin Mi, the Heavenly Palace welcomed the birthday of the Queen Tu Yao. Although Taiwei originally did not plan to celebrate lavishly to give Tu Yao face, in view of the fact that Taihao Palace had invited guests before, he felt that he could use Tu Yao's birthday to entertain Jiang Xinxin, so he held his nose and gave Tu Yao this face.
Tu Yao doesn't know yet that her own son Xufeng has fallen in love with a fairy from the flower world, who is the daughter of the flower god and the water god, and who almost got engaged to Runyu. She is thinking of bringing Suihe and Xufeng together during her birthday banquet, so she specifically instructs Suihe to dance in front of all the fairies and dress up to entertain her parents.
The Heavenly Palace has a strict hierarchy. Those who have officially ascended to heaven or those who are the second or third generation of immortals are divided into different levels. Most of the immortal servants are those who were casually enlightened by the immortals or brought up from other places. They have been at the bottom of the Heavenly Palace for a long time. Therefore, dancing in public is not considered a good thing in the Heavenly Palace.
But for some reason, Suihe agreed immediately and even prepared a peacock dance for Tu Yao, which made Yinque completely give up on Suihe.
Yin Que really couldn't understand. Sui He didn't seem to be the kind of person who would not be tempted by power. Why did she have to put all her hopes on the Queen Tu Yao? Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Tu Yao regarded the bird tribe as her forbidden food. Even though she seemed to be close to Sui He, it was only to better control the bird tribe.
Yinque was still angry at her for not fighting back, but he didn't expect that when Suihe was still a little girl, she had experienced the death of both her parents and the fall of power in the bird tribe. At that time, only Tu Yao showed some genuine care for Suihe, so Suihe had long been accustomed to regarding Tu Yao as her only life-saving straw.
Perhaps Suihe was dissatisfied with Tu Yao's dominance, and had thought about leading the bird tribe to be independent from the position of Queen of Heaven, but she could not resist Tu Yao's dominance, so she let it go and ended up in this embarrassing situation where she would be abandoned by the bird tribe if she could not rely on Tu Yao.
As expected, Jiang Xinxin received the invitation to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, but the words on it actually treated her like a subordinate. Not to mention the Azure Dragon and the Fire Phoenix, even the simple-minded Chongyu was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to throw the invitation directly at Tu Yao's face.
"We are all emperors. Even if our emperor only controls life and the Eastern Heaven, he is not a subordinate of the Emperor of Heaven!"
"Besides, our Emperor is a gift from Heaven. The Emperor and Empress have not experienced the heavenly tribulation yet. If the next Emperor appears, the current Emperor will be immediately dethroned. No wonder Taiwei always weighs the pros and cons and even uses his two sons as tools."
You wouldn't know until you tell you, and once you tell you it will shock you. The couple Taiwei and Tu Yao were able to successfully ascend to the throne of the Emperor and Empress of Heaven because Emperor Xiantian had given them a token symbolizing the authority of the Emperor and Empress of Heaven in advance. They relied on the protection of the token to escape the heavenly calamity. So, logically speaking, as long as someone more suitable for the throne of the Emperor and Empress of Heaven appears, their position can be easily shaken.
After hearing this, Jiang Xinxin immediately became interested and gave up her original plan to let Chongyu go on the trip in her place. "Then I have to see with my own eyes what this emperor and empress have done."
Jiang Xinxin was planning to make fun of the Emperor and Empress, but when the news of her being invited reached the Heavenly Palace, the Emperor knew that this was a test from her, but Empress Tu Yao looked down on her because of her gender and couldn't help but smile smugly in front of Sui He, "You said she's the Green Emperor, but even if I was so impolite in the invitation, she still has to come here respectfully to wish me a happy birthday!"
Suihe couldn't possibly regard Jiang Xinxin, the Green Emperor, as a subordinate of the Heavenly Palace like Tu Yao did, but she also knew that she would only be happy if she agreed with Tu Yao at this moment, so she just hid the discomfort and uneasiness in her heart.
Soon it was the day of the Queen Mother's birthday. Although the Heavenly Palace was very lively, and the birthday banquet was even held in the Jiuxiao Cloud Palace because Jiang Xinxin agreed to attend, there was still no decoration of lights and colors in the Heavenly Palace. If it weren't for the gods and immortals constantly flocking to the Jiuxiao Cloud Palace, it would seem that they really didn't know that the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was going to be held today.
Jiang Xinxin's participation in this banquet had already given great honor to the Heavenly Palace, so everyone in Taihao Palace was unanimously opposed to giving gifts to the Heavenly Palace. Meng Zhang and his two younger brothers transformed into a very exquisite jade necklace and hung it around Jiang Xinxin's neck. Ling Guang asked his two younger brothers to transform into a pair of red jade bracelets, and he transformed into a phoenix hairpin and inserted it into Jiang Xinxin's bun.
Seeing this, Zhuque also joined in the fun, lowering its tail feathers which were similar to those of a phoenix, and transformed into a string of ruby-red back clouds. It and Lingguang stood in front and behind to guard Jiang Xinxin's bun.
Chongyu still served as Jiang Xinxin's cleaning boy and served her everywhere.
Yu Jizi and Wuyan joined hands with other people in Taihao Palace to refine a seven-treasure carriage for Jiang Xinxin. The Heavenly Dao directly sent nine dragon souls to pull the carriage for Jiang Xinxin, and summoned nine phoenix souls to protect the carriage. Jiang Xinxin liked it very much, and her vanity was greatly satisfied. She quickly asked the system to negotiate with the Heavenly Dao to take the carriage away when she left.
This was the first time that Jiang Xinxin traveled in the name of the Green Emperor. The Heavenly Dao gave her great convenience. There were gusts of fragrant wind and colorful golden flowers hanging down along the way. Jiang Xinxin went straight over the South Heaven Gate and rushed all the way to the gate of the Jiuxiao Cloud Palace before finally stopping.
Of course there was an uproar throughout the Heavenly Palace, but this did not affect Jiang Xinxin's arrogant behavior.
However, after entering the Jiuxiaoyun Palace, Jiang Xinxin discovered that the seat Taiwei arranged for her was actually below Runyu and Xufeng. Jiang Xinxin herself did not care about these details, but she could not bring shame to Taihao Palace, so when she saw Runyu stand up and bow, and then Xufeng also led other gods in the Heavenly Palace to bow, she did not immediately exempt him from the formalities.
Jiang Xinxin looked at Taiwei and Tuyao, the couple sitting high up, and smiled softly, "They say that the Heavenly Palace has a clear hierarchy, but now it seems that it is not worthy of the name."
Jiang Xinxin raised her hand lightly, and the seat below Xufeng disappeared. A new seat appeared next to the upper seat parallel to Taiwei Tuyao. Anyone who saw it would know that this was not the style of the Heavenly Palace.
Jiang Xinxin sat down leisurely, then smiled and waived the formalities, giving Taiwei and Tu Yao enough authority.
Chongyu looked at Taiwei and Tuyao, who were both livid, and stood up to question them, "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Emperor, our Qing Emperor was appointed by Heaven. Although his authority is below that of the Heavenly Emperor, he is also an emperor of a region. Logically speaking, he is on an equal footing with the Heavenly Emperor. How come on such an important occasion today, someone actually treated our emperor as a minister of the Heavenly Emperor?!"
