81, the goddess of the moon
"I'm a legend?" , Cleopatra's words pulled Li Xiang from the "tip of the pyramid" back to the "Tibetan Pavilion".
Cleopatra continued: "I remember that it is recorded in ancient books that Ramses II said such a sentence on his deathbed, well, why did you suddenly say this too? ”
Li Xiang thought to himself: I can't tell her that I was just whimsical! Huh! By the way, Bilardo's sentence 'If you can be blind, you will be blind, and life will be as easy as possible!' I can learn from that. So he began to talk nonsense, "Because I am so happy, I will naturally be overjoyed, and it is not surprising that I sing loudly!" And the song I sang is called "I Am Legend". ”
Cleopatra said, "But why are you so happy? ”
Li Xiang thought for a moment, smiled and said, "Because, because I saw the idol in my heart." ”
"Your idol?" Cleopatra said.
Li Xiang immediately changed his eyes and looked at Cleopatra, "She has a graceful and noble charming temperament, a beautiful appearance that captivates the country and the city, and at the critical moment when the country is dying, she stands up and sacrifices the happiness of her life to devote herself to the great powers, just in exchange for the existence of the country and the peace of the people." ”
When Cleopatra heard that Li Xiang's so-called "idol" was quite similar to her own life experience, she naturally felt the same way, and then thought about it again, it should be herself, so she couldn't help but shed tears, and then wiped away her tears with her fingers and sighed, "Born in the emperor's family, how can you say happiness?" ”
"You know I'm talking about you?"
"It seems that you are the only one in the world who knows me."
Li Xiang thought to himself: You also think too highly of me.
Cleopatra said, "Everything I do is to do my best to fulfill my father's deathbed requests. ”
"What did your father tell you?"
"Forget it, let the past pass away with the wind, and I will work with you to create a golden future."
Li Xiang thought to himself: What do I have to do with Egypt? What does it have to do with this Cleopatra? Could it be? Don't? I was really a pharaoh in my previous life? And she's my queen?
"Come here!" Cleopatra's words interrupted Li Xiang's thoughts.
Cleopatra then said, "Borrow your eyes and help me choose a set of clothes." ”
Li Xiang walked up to Cleopatra and said, "Eh! By the way, you choose a few more outfits, and I'll take pictures for you. ”
Cleopatra said curiously, "'Take pictures'? ”
Li Xiang took a picture of Cleopatra with his phone, "Na! Take a look at your beauty! ”
Cleopatra looked surprised when she saw herself on the screen of her phone, "This, this..."
Li Xiang said, "Isn't it you!" ”
Cleopatra's slender hand touched the screen of her phone and exclaimed, "It's amazing!" Then he looked at Li Xiang with great admiration, and then said: "The future of Egypt can't be done without you!" ”
Li Xiang frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?" What do I have to do with Egypt? ”
"There is no way to explain it clearly in three or two sentences here, if you are a little patient, you will know the answer soon."
Li Xiang's mind kept flashing countless wonderful pictures and countless possibilities.
Cleopatra continued, "I haven't said it all! You can't think of results just by thinking about it. ”
"Alright! It seems that everything can only be listened to you. ”
Cleopatra smiled and said, "That's good! ”
"Huh! What do you want to say to a child? ”
"I'm more than fifty years older than you, can't I treat you as a child!"
Li Xiang shook his head helplessly and smiled.
Li wanted to help Cleopatra pick out her clothes and said, "What should I call you?" Should I call you 'Pharaoh'? Or should I call you Her Majesty? ”
Cleopatra said, "You are not my subject, of course you can call me by my name, I will not mind." ”
"Huh! What exactly does the name Cleopatra mean? ”
"It means 'Father's Glory.'" Cleopatra replied.
"'Father's Glory'?"
Cleopatra nodded slightly, then said, "I have another Greek name." ”
"What's it called? Tell me about it. ”
"It's called Selene." Cleopatra said.
"'Selene'? I think I've heard the name there. ”
"Selene is the name of the goddess of the moon in Greek mythology."
"But in my impression, the goddess of the moon seems to be called 'Artemis'."
"You have a good memory, but the Moon Goddess is a trinity, and they have three names, you know?"
Li Xiang shook his head, "Then I really don't know." ”
"Phoebe, representing the new moon; Selene, representing the full moon; Artemis, on the other hand, represents the crescent moon. ”
As a Chinese, Li Xiang, when he heard the moon goddess, he would think of the moon palace fairy in Chinese mythology, Miss Chang'e Chang, and when he heard Cleopatra say that the moon goddess is a trinity, he understood the trinity as three heads and six arms.
Just imagine, what will the three-headed and six-armed Chang'e look like?
Cleopatra wears a golden crown resembling a helmet, with symmetrical Horus wings on the left and right, and twelve cobras on top of it surrounding a pair of towering Nehobet wings.
Li Xiang bent down and saluted, "Respectfully Your Majesty Holy Ann!" ”
Cleopatra smiled slightly, "No courtesy! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"I originally planned to wear this outfit at the restoration ceremony, but since you said you wanted to see it, I will meet your requirements in advance."
Li Xiang was a little surprised, "What did you just say?" What is the 'Restoration Ceremony'? ”
Cleopatra said, "This is exactly what you came to Egypt for. ”
"Maybe you are mistaken, I came to Egypt to represent Octavian, the head of the Roman state, to participate in the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the province of Egypt, not the 'restoration ceremony' as you said." Li Xiang paused slightly, and then said: "The Romans have annexed your country, and it is normal for you to be unwilling, but relying on your strength alone, it is just..."
Cleopatra said, "There is no basis for your words, and I know you will not believe them." ”
