Chen Fenglei, the chief steward of Phoenix Palace, saw Phoenix coming and took the initiative to bow and greet him.
Fenghuang looked at Chen Fenglei and said with a smile: "Grandpa Chen, I haven't seen you for a while. Are you feeling well?"
"Oh, my princess, you can just call me Lao Chen... How can I deserve this title? Aren't you ruining my life?" Chen Fenglei's voice was soft, and his voice was a bit shrill.
, it really smells a bit like the eunuchs of the ancient palace.
However, Chen Fenglei did not deliberately castrate him, and there is no need for that in the palace now.
It was because he accidentally injured a vital part while practicing martial arts when he was a child, and the yin and yang energy was missing a pulse, so he could only exert force on the yin energy.
The more I practice, the more feminine I become, and in the end even my voice and physical signs undergo huge changes.
"You grew up watching my dad, and you are about the same age as my grandpa... Isn't it right for me to call you Grandpa Chen?" Fenghuang said with a smile.
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously... You should call me Lao Chen or Butler Chen. If you feel comfortable, so will I." Chen Fenglei's back was bent, looking very humble.
"My dad didn't say anything, so don't have such a big opinion. Based on your friendship with my grandpa, it's reasonable to call you grandpa." Fenghuang said: "Where is my dad? He had dinner.
No?"
"I just finished the meeting in front, and I was just thinking of dealing with him casually, but I didn't expect Her Royal Highness to come." Chen Fenglei helped open the door and invited Fenghuang to enter the house.
"It just so happens that I haven't had dinner either." Fenghuang said with a smile: "Ask the kitchen to send some food, something lighter... By the way, give me a portion of the star snail soup. I haven't eaten it for a long time.
I really miss it a little bit."
"Yes, Your Highness Princess." Chen Fenglei responded with a smile.
Fenghuang walked into the room. His father Zhong Daolong was sitting on the sofa, reading a document and lighting a large cigar in his hand.
Fenghuang walked straight up, took the cigar from Zhong Daolong's hand, pressed it into the cigar cylinder, and said, "Why are you starting to smoke now? Didn't you agree? You can only smoke one cigarette at most a day."
Zhong Daolong is tall and his facial features are not outstanding individually, but when paired together they make people feel very comfortable. He is wearing a well-tailored white suit and a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, giving him a bookish look.
At first glance, he looked less like the monarch of an empire and more like a professor at a university, and he still taught traditional courses such as literary studies.
It is such a gentle and elegant man who is even criticized by the people as a bit cowardly, but he controls the supreme power of the entire empire.
Zhong Daolong looked at Fenghuang with a doting look on his face and said, "Didn't we lose contact with you at home a few days ago? Your father and I are so worried that I haven't stopped smoking... I have to smoke two or three cigarettes a day. This time
I'm really not used to it when you ask me to come down."
"You'll get used to it if you keep at it." Fenghuang looked at Zhong Daolong and said with a serious expression: "If you keep smoking like this, your smoking volume will increase again. By then, you will be used to two or three cigarettes a day, and you want to change
Wouldn’t it be more difficult to go back?”
"Okay, okay, listen to our daughter." Zhong Daolong laughed loudly and said, "You are the only one in the whole country who dares to pinch my cigar... It feels so good to have my daughter back."
"Isn't that bad?" Fenghuang said with a deliberately cold face: "Nagging in your ear every day, not letting you drink, not letting you smoke cigars, urging you to go to bed early... it must be very annoying, right?
"
"This is the trouble of happiness. Those of them who have no daughters will not understand this kind of happiness." Zhong Daolong said with a smile.
"Don't tell me, I'm really not used to it without you nagging me in my ears during this period. I don't eat well, and I don't sleep well. I smoke one cigar after another, and my throat feels sore.
Even though it’s smoking, I can’t experience the usual aroma of tobacco leaves..."
"That's good." Phoenix said with a proud look on his face, "Then I will continue to take care of it from now on?"
"Keep taking care of it, keep taking care of it, and listen to my daughter."
"Let's eat first." Fenghuang raised his wrist and looked at a classical and elegant mechanical watch on his wrist, and said: "It's already past seven o'clock, and you must have dinner before seven o'clock. Don't delay it any longer, otherwise you will
My stomach trouble is coming again."
"Isn't this just after the meeting..." Zhong Daolong explained: "By the way, I just heard you at the door asking for some star snail soup. Have you not had it for a while?"
"Yeah, you don't even know what they eat on the old soil... goats with two heads, rabbits with red eyes, pheasants that are about to grow to half a man's height, and field frogs and mice...
....”
Zhong Daolong patted Fenghuang on the shoulder with pity and said with a distressed look on his face: "You have suffered a lot during this time."
"It's delicious." Phoenix said.
"???"
Zhong Daolong looked at Phoenix with wide eyes.
He knew that his daughter had always been a picky eater and would not eat this or that.
If it were the past, what kind of goat with two heads and rabbit with red eyes...
Just listening to this description, it is impossible for these things to enter her recipe.
When she was very young, she judged dishes based on their appearance and refused to eat those that were ugly!
Why did your temper suddenly change when you went out for a trip?
"It's delicious." Fenghuang looked happy. It seemed that the food left her with endless aftertaste. "When I first started eating, I was also very scared, but after eating...it was really amazing."
I didn’t expect that there are so many delicious things on the old soil. It’s a pity that I will never be able to eat them again.”
"Hehehe..." Zhong Daolong smiled awkwardly and said smoothly: "As long as you like it, if you like it... I will have someone do it for you in the future."
"Then can I find someone to come over and do it for me?" Phoenix asked.
Zhong Daolong looked at Fenghuang and asked: "Who can I find to do it?"
"Dad, I want to discuss something with you." Fenghuang took Zhong Daolong's arm, rested his head on his shoulder, and said softly: "Actually, I thought I would never see you again. You don't know,
When the escape capsule was damaged and landed, I was so scared and how desperate I felt... I thought I would die, or even encounter something more terrifying than death."
Hearing his daughter's words, Zhong Daolong's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice: "I will definitely seek justice for you. No matter who did this, he will have to pay a heavy price."
"Dad, that's not what I meant." Fenghuang looked up at Zhong Daolong and said, "I want to tell you how difficult it is for me to come back. You just said it's great that I can come back. I
I also think...yeah, it's great to be back."
"I have been lying in my room these days, thinking back on the thrilling life in the old land. It seems that every day I get up is a struggle, every time I am in danger is a narrow escape..."
"I also want to live my life now, with a comfortable big bed, nice clothes, delicious food, and my father is the most powerful man in the world..."
"I had lost everything, but I found it again. However, my friends in the old land helped me, saved me, and helped me get through the difficulties again and again...
..."
"Feed me, provide me with clothing, help me fight off the killers, protect me from the beasts at the Flame Shrine... They have done a lot for me, but their lives have still not changed at all.
"
"They still have to be the same as before, lacking food and clothing, fighting against the most ferocious mutant beasts, facing the acid rain that will fall from nowhere, and facing all kinds of enemies with no humanity and bottom line...
.Even those killers who were offended by my affairs..."
"I'm really worried. I'm afraid they will be retaliated against. If they die because of me, I don't think I will be able to feel at ease in my life."
Zhong Daolong looked at Phoenix thoughtfully and asked, "So, what do you mean?"
"I want to improve their lives so that they can live a better life, have enough food and clothing, and live in a safe and loving place..."
Phoenix raised his face, looked at Zhong Daolong with sincerity, and said: "Dad, I want to ask you to give me a chance to repay my kindness, and also give them a chance to live and work contentedly on the new star."
"I think they will feel lucky to be a part of the Phoenix Empire and proud to have such a benevolent father as their father."
Just at this moment, the servant came in pushing a dining cart filled with food.
Zhong Daolong patted Phoenix on the head and said with a smile: "Let's eat first. While eating, think carefully about the things you did in the old land... and also talk about the things you did.
Friends, I want to know what kind of people they are..."
"Okay." Phoenix agreed readily.
But her heart was sinking. She knew that her father was still hesitating.
I have tried my best to talk rationally and emotionally for a long time, but my father still didn't agree. Then, there must be something wrong somewhere in the middle.
Fenghuang glanced at Chen Fenglei, who was busy helping arrange the dishes and serve the soup, as if he didn't pay attention to what the father and daughter were talking about.
Is it because of the phrase "miss me"?
At that time, I thought that this separation would mean farewell forever. Those three words blurted out...
Originally they were supposed to be separated in separate parts of the world, who would have thought that they would want to give him a home?
"Zhong Yuxiuxue, you idiot!" Fenghuang cursed fiercely in his heart.
She dug a hole and buried herself and the Tang bandits.
Therefore, in this world, whether it is a man or a woman, it is extremely difficult to give each other a home.
