Just Because I'm Not An Ordinary Girl

Chapter 14 - Two Days Separation & Two Annoying Brats

The next two days in TaiChen Palace were boring but yet disturbing. Why was it boring you might ask? Donghua was always the boring one, doing the same routines every single day for the last thousands of years, and reading the same scrolls over and over again. He never found it boring before but lately he did. Ever since his baby fox came into his life, she changed all his habits. Now that she re-entered his life again and she's not by his side everyday he finds it hard to get through the day. Whatever he does or wherever he goes there will always be something that reminds him of Fengjiu. He can't seem to get her off his mind like how he did three years ago. But did he really get her off his mind for that entire three years? Only he would know the true answer to that question.

He tries to focus on his scroll in his hand, he would somehow see her image somewhere close by. Either eating something while watching him or she leaning her face on her hands or laps staring at him quietly. Donghua often tries to reach for her, by then she vanishes. LianSong tries to play go with him but he just can't focus at all on the game and keeps on losing. It got to a point where LianSong found it no fun anymore and walked away. Even Zhonglin, who has been by Donghua's side the longest, never seen him this way before. Donghua even tried asking himself multiple times "Is this love?" and he still doesn't have the answer. As LianSong says, "When you had no feelings for her you were cold and mean towards her, once you realized you love her, it's like the heavenly thunder and earth fire meeting together."

During his time pondering over the same questions he gets disturbed by those little brat princesses, Zhihe and Zhiyue. Normally when it's just Zhihe around it's still peaceful but when Zhiyue comes along everything just turns into rackets. These two brats can never be in the same place at the same time. They both hate each other since the other always thinks the other one has all the attention from Donghua. If Zhiyue wasn't related to Tianjun he would have tossed her out of Nine Heaven a long time ago. If Zhihe wasn't the daughter of his foster parents he would have not cared for her at all. These two brats really don't know their places at all, always thinking that they have someone strong backing them up. They often cause so much trouble in Nine Heaven and everyone was always afraid to report them for their actions.

Last time Zhiyue was very lucky that Donghua didn't punish her for throwing Fengjiu into the pagoda. If the time has changed to now, Zhiyue would be the next one getting thrown into the pagoda herself. So she can experience it herself being bullied by someone much stronger than her. Back then when she would come around TaiChen Palace acting as she was the mistress ordering maids around and discarding the one that are much prettier than her, Donghua would just pretend that he didn't see anything. But now if she was to do the same thing, for the sake of his future Dihou, Fengjiu. He will severely punish her then exile her to some foreign place and ban her from ever returning to Nine Heaven.

As for Zhihe she wasn't really around when Fengjiu was a maid in TaiChen Palace. She was only here for the first few days when Fengjiu arrived then was sent to the West Sea for training with her master. So she never saw Fengjiu or caused any trouble to her. But knowing his foster sister's attitude and her one sided love for him, she will definitely act the same way as Zhiyue or worse. Since she's been spoiled by everyone in the palace when she was younger and Donghua hardly reprimands her for anything she does. It's not that Donghua doesn't want to but he can careless as long as she is not breaking the law or harming others. There is still a limit that he can tolerate from her.

"Foster brother I made you some pastry. Try some, it's really good" Zhihe says while trying to bring a piece of cake to his mouth then she is stopped by Zhiyue. "No Dijun, try mine, it's much better than her's." she says while trying to feed him her piece. The two princesses just keep on arguing who's pastry should Donghua eat. Donghua doesn't even like sweets or pastry. He only liked the ones that Fengjiu made for him back in the days and in the mortal realm. He can care less what these two brats made for him. There will be nothing as good as what Fengjiu makes.
