Chapter 20: The Tricks of the Two Daughters

The underground palace next door is bustling with activity, and today is an important day for the kingdom, and a grand celebration will soon take place in this domed hall.

Gao Na and Ligen got up early today to freshen up, for the two of them, today must sit in the stunning four seats, shock the audience, they must be the focus of attention.

Both of them thought like this, and the palace maids around them were working hard to help their masters paint their eyebrows and sideburns, and tidy up their dresses, hoping that their masters would be in a good mood and toss them less.

"Sister Ligen, why does your dress look old today!" Gao Na sat in front of the dresser, glancing at the adjacent Ligen.

"How is that possible! This dress is new, and I am looking for the best tailor in the palace. You see this Phnom Penh, how delicate this embroidery is, it perfectly reflects my temperament. Ligen said unconvinced.

Gao Na leaned over slightly, reached out and pulled the corner of her sister's skirt in front of her, deliberately shaking the huge gemstone ring on her hand vigorously.

Gao Na exclaimed, "Sure enough, it's the master's craft, but I looked away and thought it was still the one you wore last year!" she covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Yo, sister, is this one on your finger?" he didn't care about the high bun he was combing, pushed the palace maids away, and hurriedly went to Gao Na's side to see her ring.

Gao Na seemed to realize that she was wearing a ring on her hand, and she slowly raised her hand, looked at it and said, "Oh! You mean this ring! That's right, it's Proxima Centauri." My father gave it to me last night, saying that it belonged to our mother before, and that her last wish was to leave the ring to her daughter..."

Before she finished speaking, Ligen reached out to grab the Proxima Star, shouting: "This is what our mother left us, why do you wear it first, I can also wear it." ”

Gao Na obviously didn't expect her sister to suddenly reach out and grab it regardless of her identity and occasion, and she had to ignore the outfit that was about to be completed, and snatch it with Ligen.

Just when the two of them were grabbing each other, Leah came in from outside, saw that her sister was grabbing things again, but frowned slightly, and then walked in front of the two of them, bowed her head and bowed, and said: "Back to the two queens, the decoration of the celebration has been completed, and the ministers and guests are already waiting in the main hall, when will the petals start to be laid." ”

The two disheveled and disheveled queens turned their heads to look at the third sister in front of them, and after looking at each other again, Gao Na whispered to Ligen: "I'll give you a county, let me wear it for a year." ”

Ligen shook his head, thought for a little and whispered: "A county, you wear it for half a year first." ”

Gao Na nodded, and then the two of them let go at the same time.

"Very good! You tell the people outside to wait, I am not very satisfied with the hairstyle just now, and I need to recomb it. Gao Na closed her eyes. waved his hand to the palace maid beside him, and returned to his usual cold appearance.

Ligen also said, "That... I'm going to rearrange my clothes too, Leah, you can get out of the way first. ”

Leah took a deep breath, then said "yes" and exited their dormitory.

In the main hall, the ministers and guests who had been waiting for most of the morning were already impatient, and when they saw Leah coming out of it, they hurriedly surrounded her.

"Princess Leah, when does the celebration begin?" the Prime Minister was an old man with a gray beard, and it seemed that he was exhausted, and his three legs could no longer support him on his feet.

Leah smiled apologetically and said, "The queens aren't ready yet, and the celebration can't start yet." ”

There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone sighed.

"What about the Emperor!, can the Emperor afford to wait?" shouted the general in ceremonial armor, and despite his heavy visor, Coria could still feel his exaggerated beard trembling up and down with anger.

"My father was not well today, so he did not attend the celebration, and the edict made it clear that the power of the kingdom would be held by the two queens in the future. Leah replied with a smile on her face.

The bearded general pushed the crowd away, his armor rattling, and he came up to Leah, and struck his right fist on the armor on his left chest, making a sonorous crash.

"Princess Leah, my brother Shuya has always been right about things, but today is the first court meeting of the queens, but it is Her Royal Highness Princess Leah who is busy with everything, and everyone sees it. Although the king's orders cannot be disobeyed, everyone knows in their hearts that only you, Princess Leah, are the hope of the kingdom. ”

Goshua's words drew a lot of echo from the crowd.

At this moment, Gao Na's voice came from the darkness in the distance: "You really can't wait! Could it be that our two sisters have more time to dress up, and you can't wait to set up a new master?"

When everyone heard the sound disperse, Goshua snorted coldly, gave a military salute to Leah, and fell back to the place where he belonged.

Although the scale of the ceremony was small, it was extremely luxurious, and the gardeners of the court specially plucked flower petals from the underground conservatory and sprinkled them on the red carpet on the ground. There was very little food, but a lot of sake was specially brewed for this grand ceremony. The fruits and vegetables at the banquet all come from the underground greenhouse, and because they never see the sun, this dish grows short, with only a light layer of green. Meat is not abundant, and some freshwater fish are raised in a specially dug pond next to the conservatory, which is specially for the royal family.

This banquet can be regarded as a luxury in the normal years of the four seasons, and the current situation is comparable to the beautiful banquet of Yaochi.

However, when the coronation ceremony was over and Gao Na and Ligen announced the start of the feast, no one touched a single dish on the table.

Goshua blew his beard and glared at the table full of delicacies, and said viciously: "Every dish is dripping with human blood!"

The prime minister next to him hurriedly persuaded: "General, don't say that. You don't think about yourself, you have to think about your wife and children, and you have to think about it! Besides, he pointed his finger to the dishes on the table, and said, "These people are not related to you, so what if they soak back when they are dehydrated?

Ge Shuya waved his hand and interrupted the old minister's words: "Zhanya, don't say it, you can eat it yourself." I'm not an old king, don't sell Ecstasy here. ”

Zhan Ya retracted with a smile, waved his hand and said, "I'm old, I can't eat these new things, so I'll leave them to the young people." ”

Towards the end of the banquet, Gao Na and Ligen stood up from their thrones, raised their glasses and said to the ministers below, "In the future, I will rely on you to continue to do your best for the neighboring realm." In recognition of the meritorious families of the past, my sister and I would like to announce that you will be able to live a different and perfect life away from your current neighborhood. ”

With a smile on his face, he raised his glass to everyone in a dignified manner, and continued: "There are stable four seasons, beautiful mountains and rivers, and countless delicacies. My father will be the first to go there and enjoy his old age. As for the two sisters, we will continue to stay here and lead the people until we all can go to that earthly fairyland. ”

The underground chatter went from whispering at the beginning to loud voices later.

Zhan Ya rolled her eyes, stood up from her seat, put her right hand on her chest, bowed slightly to the two queens, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, can the old minister ask, where is this fairyland on earth?

Gao Na smiled slightly, she gracefully gestured to Ligen, Ligen nodded, and then said to everyone, "Have you all heard of the legend of the Temple?"

Everyone nodded, and Goshua said loudly, "It's just a nursery rhyme for children, and everyone knows that such a fairyland has never existed." ”

And they all talked about it.

"No! the Temple Void does exist. Ligen said loudly, and the discussion below came to an abrupt end.

"My sister and I finally found this mysterious place a month ago. Ligen said.

The crowd below exploded, and everyone couldn't believe that the mysterious fairyland in ancient legends had been discovered, but more people still expressed doubts.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe herself, Gao Na put down the wine glass in her hand and slapped her palm softly twice.

Two palace maids hurriedly walked over, and one of the palace maids in front of them respectfully held a scroll above her head in both hands.

"Open it!" Gao Na commanded coldly and arrogantly.

The two palace maids nodded, and then slowly unfolded a picture in front of everyone.

In the center of the painting, there is a group of majestic palaces, carved beams and paintings, exquisite. On the opposite side of the palace complex are mist-shrouded mountains with rich vegetation and lush greenery.

A large river runs through the mountains and flows to the sea at the end.

The mountains are surrounded by strange structures with strange patterns, some that look like sharp beaks and two wings, some that look like reptiles with huge shields on their backs, some with teeth and claws, stripes on their bodies, and some long ones that look fierce.

But many people don't care about this, because in the upper right corner of this huge portrait, there is a round of golden sun hanging in the air.

"There really is a golden void in this world! this can't be a dream!" Zhanya shouted excitedly towards the painting, three hands raised above her head, three feet trembling and almost kneeling.

"This is what the painter we brought with us spent two days painting like a fairyland. He smiled.

Leah, who was looking at the scroll with everyone, frowned slightly, and she muttered to herself, "How can the scene in this painting be so similar to the Genting Heavenly Palace told by Xuanhuang Xingshu?"
