Chapitre 1: Chapter 01
Ye Tan had been on his knees for a long time.
She knelt in the middle of the palace path outside the Palace of the Morning Glory (Chao Lu). The ladies of the palace kept coming and going, but they all kept their heads down and stayed away, and no one looked at her much.
Ye Tan didn't look at them either, and the people around her, no matter what they looked like, were roughly the same face. Those faces are always tinged with fear, disgust, and with a couple of false smiles.
Ugly.
The sky drizzled with rain. Ye Tan's knees were getting a little sore, and she moved to the side and lowered her head. Among the floating grasses of Gong Dao, several ants panicked and carried home a bug they had just found. The worm was slightly fat, and the ants had exerted a lot of effort to get the job done.
The ants scattered and fled, the corners of her mouth lifting, but before long, those ants crawled back to the Worm, clearly not willing to let most of the day's efforts go to waste.
Ye Tan reached out again and rattled the worm a little further away. Then someone said, "The world is already a difficult place to live in and you are born a human being, so you should be compassionate, why do you have to suffer so much?"
Ye Tan looked up fiercely, only to find that in an unknown moment, a man stood before himself, white and silky, with a upright posture. Ye Tan knelt on the ground, and in the silky rain could only see the small fragment of a star that was tied around his waist. Bright and clear, the glow faint.
She looked up and saw a face that was...different from everyone else around her. The man's eyebrows are high and deep, his lips are thin and warm, and his long smoky gray hair falls to his waist.
He was originally a Duanfang gentleman, but at this moment, his brow furrowed slightly and his expression was cold. Only the lips are warm, like a warm flower in the snow, deliberately or unintentionally.
His eyes did not have the usual awe of others, and his dark as ink pupils carried a condescending scrutiny and inquiry. This kind of gaze, Ye Tan didn't like. "Who are you?" she asked.
A man's voice is as clear as ice and clean as jade: "There is Youqin from Shaodian family of the Shenzu."
"Is there Youqin from Shaodian family of the Shenzu.?" Ye Tan repeated this name word for word, how come it sounded familiar? In front of her, Shaodian Youqin's brow furrowed slightly.
His status was different, most of the heavenly realms referred to him as the Xuanshang Divine Lord. It's been a long time since anyone's name was announced. The woman evoked in front of her, covered in a thick purple, on the gray and white palace path, intense and wild, as if to melt and flow. She didn't know how long she had been kneeling, and the rain was drizzling down, and her purple-clad black hair was like a scattering of beads and jade.
It turned out that little face became whiter.
He asked, "Who are you?"
Ye Tan's eyes twitched slightly, suddenly remembering who he was!
The Divine Shaodian Family! Woah! Aren't my future brother-in-law?
Ye Tan also has a older sister named Qing Kui. She was promised the title of Crown Princess to the Gods from an early age. How noble the gods were, the first time they condescended to choose the Heavenly Consort from among the mortals, they chose the Qing Kui Princess of the Li Guang Clan.
The entire Liguang clan was overjoyed and mad, and the Emperor Xiu was anxious to build a tall tower and put his sister up in advance.
Every year, on my sister's birthday, there is an endless stream of people giving gifts to her like these ants. Whenever there was a banquet, the people were very loud, and all that was said was about the gods.
Yan Tan really didn't care about the God Clan at all, but she couldn't stand so many people talking about it. Reluctantly, she listened with an earful.
The elder son of the God Emperor is Shaodian Youqin, known as Xuanshang Shenjun. It is also rumored that both the God Emperor and the God Empress are preferred candidates for the Crown Prince.
So, it's quite possible to say that he's a future brother-in-law.
Thinking of this person's identity, Ye Tan rolled her eyes. Even Youqin's face was so unpleasant to look at. When people are not nice, of course their attitude is bad. She said, "Is the Divine God amazing? You don't care who I am!"
"Huh?" Xuan Shang's brow furrowed like a Chuan character, how come the Liguang Clan was now upset with the God Clan? He said, "Even if my lord is just an ordinary visitor, he should be treated with courtesy. I see that you are not an ordinary courtesan, so why are you so ignorant of manners?"
"Son of a bitch!" Ye Tan's white eyes rolled even more as she pointed to her endless kneeling posture and said, "Your family calls me illiterate?"
This... Lord Xuan Shang was actually speechless for a moment and asked, "Why is that girl performing this great gift?"
It wasn't that he had the spare time to chat with Ye Tan, but he was still mainly surprised by the woman from the Li Guang Clan. Her hair was unkempt and she was clearly a harem woman. She's not just a palace servant.
The one who is in the palace, not yet out of the palace, and who is worthy of this dress... He asked, "Which princess of the Li Guang clan are you?"
This Lord God is quite smart. Ye Tan's eyes grunted and had already come up with a bad idea that was enough to scare him off. She asked, "Which other princesses are in the Liguang clan?"
Sure enough, Xuan Shang Divine Lord's eyes sank slightly: "Princess Qing Kui?" The sound of voices intensified, and was already an oppressive force.
Why is Ye Tan afraid of him? And don't blame Princess Kui for lying to you. Who are you to blame for your ignorance? ''Hmph, like everyone else, at the mention of the princess of the Liguang Clan, only one Qing Kui was known. She didn't dismiss it, but instead asked with a flourish, "What are you doing here?"
At this point, the Xuan Shang Divine Lord finally showed a hint of surprise, it was really Princess Qing Kui? The rumor is that Princess Kui is lustrous and gentle, why does it seem that the rumor is seriously untrue?
His mind was racing, but he soon found reason as well. Was Princess Qing Kui too indulgent when she was appointed as the Crown Princess of the Gods at a young age? But the future Tianfei is the cornerstone of the divine race, so they can' t play around with it.
He fell silent, and Ye Tan said, "I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"
This is...still half-hearted. The Xuan Shang divine Lord said, "Tomorrow is your fifteenth birthday, and the gods and goddesses of my father and mother have asked me to come and present a congratulatory gift to the Li Guang family."
Saying that, with a lift of his right hand, a brocade box appeared in his palm. The man is also quite cultured. Ye Tan received the brocade box and did not open it, just waved her hand and said, "Got it, you go."
For the first time in two thousand seven hundred years, the Xuan Shang Divine Lord had been honoured and driven away like a dog. He said, "Do you have no half-assed reverence for the God race?"
Ye Tan was puzzled and said, ''I have grown up in awe of only one thing. Know what it is?"
Xuan Shang knew that he shouldn't ask, but the first time someone spoke in front of him and dared to leave a suspense, he still asked, "What is it?"
Ye Tan's eyebrows fluttered as he said, "That dog that patrols the palace of the sun! I can't do either, so I naturally fear it. Why, you gods also...oops! Why did you leave before I could finish my sentence? Not even a single salute, you are rude!"
She shouted loudly, but Xuan Shang Divine Lord went like a speeding wind and didn't turn his head back.
Why ask? Redundant.
