4. Singing under the moon
Zijian put on a golden dragon-patterned robe for Ling Yi, and after carefully tidying it up, he asked the maid to come in and put it on for himself. Ling Yi instructed his subordinates to bring Ling Mu in.
The four-hundred-year-old Ling Mu is already a teenager, he is wearing purple clothes, he is a little less childish, and he wears a white dragon pattern sword on his waist, and he can see that this sword is extraordinary.
"Mu'er, this time you go to the Emperor's family banquet, you have to pay attention to proportions and etiquette, and don't run around and talk. ”
Ling Mu stepped forward and leaned over, "Back to my father, my son knows." "Ling Yi's strictness to Ling Mu is known to everyone in the Dragon Palace, once Ling Mu was naughty when he was a child, as long as he heard the voice of the Dragon King, he would immediately be obedient, and he was no longer greedy for fun, he cultivated quietly, and his spiritual power value was already on the heavenly ranking list at a young age, and he was also a young man.
Zijian noticed that Mu'er didn't like to be close to people, and she was politely alienated from herself, but she didn't look like a child anymore. She knew that she couldn't talk to Ling Yi about this issue, and Ling Yi would only say that she was used to Mu'er and would be spoiled. But listening to everyone's praise for Mu'er, her vanity was satisfied, and she didn't care.
The three of them soared to the heavenly realm and exchanged pleasantries with various immortals.
"Your Royal Highness can soar the clouds on his own at such a young age, it's really amazing"
"His Royal Highness is surrounded by aura, which is really extraordinary"
......
Listening to the flattering words along the way, Ling Mu was very bored in his heart. Seeing his father and queen mother smile back humbly, he knew that they all liked to hear such words in their hearts, and when he thought of this, he felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, and he just wanted to end such a boring banquet quickly.
On the Heavenly Realm Hall, the Emperor of Heaven raised his glass to Ling Yi, "Aiqing, you have governed Zeguo so well, Lone knows that it was right to send you to take over Zeguo at that time, and only you can take on this heavy responsibility, you have worked hard all these years." ”
"Returning to the Emperor of Heaven, it is all what Ling Yi should do, the Emperor of Heaven praises it, Ling Yi has not done well enough. Ling Yi returned to the Emperor of Heaven, his face full of respect.
Seeing this, everyone also toasted to Ling Yi, and the entire hall was lively for a while. There are too many such banquets, everyone is accustomed to it, the adults "put their hearts in the stomach" between the wine glasses, and the juniors "call each other brothers" in the play.
Only Ling Mu was still sitting at the back of Zijian. Zijian quietly turned around, "Mu'er, you go to the garden to play with them, usually you don't have much time in the heavenly realm, and you don't have much time to make friends with them, so you have to seize the opportunity." ”
"Yes, Queen Mother. Ling Mu bowed and retreated.
There are no flowers in Zeguo, and no flowers can grow in the water except for various types of seaweed. The Celestial Garden is large, with a variety of fragrant flowers.
"Brother Ling Mu, Brother Ling Mu" The sweet voice sounded behind him, but Ling Mu frowned.
Turning around, "See Her Royal Highness the Princess", seeing Ling Mu who was saluting, Yu Nian was annoyed, "Brother Ling Mu, I said that you don't have to salute, why haven't you come to me to play for so long, and my father won't let me come to Zeguo to find you, saying that it's too cold there, I won't be able to stand it, but Brother Ling Mu, you can stay, why can't I?"
Yu Nian is the youngest daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, and she is more favored than the pearl in her palm, how can the Emperor of Heaven let her suffer a little.
Looking at the delicate princess in front of her, Ling Mu didn't know how to reply, in fact, Yu Nian looked very cute, and all the children of the fairy family loved to be courteous to her, only Ling Mu was lukewarm to her, which made her very depressed, but she wanted to find him even more, and just now she saw him come out, so she followed.
When the children of the immortal family in the garden heard the sound here, they all gathered around, "Her Royal Highness the Princess" and "Her Royal Highness the Princess" The sound of surprise kept ringing, and Ling Mu took the opportunity to withdraw from the crowd. Yu Nian couldn't get out in the middle, and his eyes were red with grievances, of course Ling Mu couldn't see it.
"I'll go back to the Dragon Palace first" After leaving a message with the heavenly generals outside the main hall, Ling Mu took the clouds and headed towards the deep sea.
Ling Mu stood with his hands in his hands, and the deep sea under the moonlight was filled with a silver light. He didn't know why his father and mother didn't like Zeguo, but he felt that the deep sea was full of charm.
In contemplation, a burst of singing broke the silence of the night sky, and the singing voice was clear, like a sudden blooming gloom, which made people want to stop and admire. The movement was one step faster than the thought, and the clouds under his feet headed towards the song.
In the westernmost part of the deep sea, a beautiful figure jumped out of the sea and into the sea, I don't know whether the song was rising and falling with the churning, or the figure was jumping with the melody of the song.
The fishtail glowed in the moonlight, and Ling Mu was stunned when he saw the mermaid for the first time.
"Who's there?" The singing suddenly stopped, and the little girl looked in the direction of Ling Mu half-sunk in the water.
Ling Mu collected the clouds and fell to the shore. "I'm sorry, but I was attracted by your singing. ”
Seeing that the person who came was not from the mermaid clan, and it was a little doll like her, Li An breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, after all, she ran out secretly, and if she was discovered, she would have to be punished if she went back. Li An didn't know why her mother didn't let her leave the abyss, which didn't see the light of day, and she couldn't come to the water.
Li An's long black hair was draped over his chest, revealing only a small face that could make Yuehua lose color, and those pale blue eyes looked straight into Ling Mu's heart, "Zeguo actually has such a good-looking mermaid, even better than the fairies in the heavenly realm." ”
"Hey, little ghost, you've listened to the song too, can you pretend that you haven't seen me. ”
Hearing the other party call him a little ghost, Ling Mu replied, "I'm older than you, you should call me brother." ”
"Hey, you little devil, why do I call you brother? How do you know that I'm younger than you, and I'm two hundred years old. ”
Ling Mu was stunned, probed with spiritual power, and found that the other party had no spiritual power, no wonder he couldn't tell his age.
"Why should I act like I haven't seen you before?" Ling Mu asked.
Li An pouted, "Because I ran out secretly, if my family finds out, I will be miserable." Didn't you secretly do bad things and get them fixed, you must keep it a secret, okay, I'm leaving. ”
"Hey, you wait. Looking at the figure that was about to submerge into the water, Ling Mu suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her.
"You, you are from Zeguo, you have spiritual power, who are you?" Ling Mu, who teleported from the shore to the water, frightened Li'an.
"I'm the prince of the Dragon Clan, Ling Mu. Who are you?"
Li An's big eyes turned quickly, and he regretted it in his heart, "What should I do, my mother won't let me come out, and said that I must not let other races see it, and I should stay away from the dragon clan, and I actually bumped into the prince of the dragon clan, how should this be good?"
Feeling the fishtail swaying uneasily in the water, looking at the girl's expression as if a catastrophe was imminent, Ling Mu suddenly felt that he had done something wrong, and quickly let go of his hand, "I'm sorry, did I scratch you, okay, I promise you, I won't say anything, I won't say anything." ”
Li An stepped back and looked at him suspiciously, "Are you sure?"
"Sure, but you're going to tell me your name. ”
But how can there be anyone at the moment, Li An was already ready to slip away when he retreated, it was the first time for Ling Mu to see a race that swam so fast, not even a splash, it seemed that the legends about the mermaid clan were true.
Li'an, who swam towards Linyuan, swung the fishtail desperately, thinking, "Anyway, he said that it was confidential, it shouldn't be a lie, go back quickly, my mother should look for me in a while." ”
