Chapter 4: The Heartless Feast
The Sea King was so happy that Hai Lingdi watched boredly as her mother kept toasting Long Yihan, regardless of whether people could still drink it. But this dragon meaning is quite drinkable, it's just a thousand cups not drunk.
"Your Highness Long Er, I'm really happy that you can take a fancy to this kid Lingdi. I thought this kid was too naughty and would rush you. Now it seems that I am overthinking. ”
Long Yihan smiled, stood up and raised his glass and said, "Most of the people in the dragon's nest are well-behaved, which is really boring. His Royal Highness Lingdi is clever and intelligent, and he likes it very much. After speaking, he glanced at Hai Lingdi more affectionately, which made everyone really think that she was interesting to him. Whether it's really interesting, who knows. The minds of these people who stand at the center of power are very complicated.
Hai Lingdi raised his glass to her embarrassedly: "Thank you, Your Highness Long Er, Lingdi is flattered." ”
The Sea King laughed happily and said, "Excellent, Lang is a concubine, it is really a perfect match." Today, let's raise a glass and drink, and we won't get drunk or go home. It's considered a marriage. ”
Hai Lingdi raised his head in shock, looked at his mother emperor in a panic, and stopped her: "Mother emperor can't." ”
"Why?" Aquaman was a little upset, squinting his eyes as if trying to see through him. He lowered his head, from childhood to adulthood, there was nothing to hide from the mother emperor.
Long Yihan chuckled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this. His Royal Highness Lingdi has been pampered since he was a child, and presumably such a hasty marriage ceremony will not satisfy him. Moreover, this matter needs to be reported to the emperor, and it is really inappropriate to be in such a hurry. ”
"Yes, Yes, Mother. You promised your child that you would let your child get married. But the marriage ceremony was so hasty, but it wasn't glamorous at all. Hai Lingdi hurriedly said.
"Really?"
"Uh-huh." Hai Lingdi nodded.
The Sea King looked at him a few more times, sighed and said, "It's the Mother Emperor who is in a hurry and has forgotten her promise to you, and the Mother Emperor will discuss it with the Dragon Emperor so that the soothsayer can count a good day." Ling'er, you come to the queen's bedroom in a while, and our mother and son will have a good talk. ”
When the child grew up, the mother was so bent on finding a good family for him that she forgot that she had not spoken properly to her dearest child for a long time. If you get married like this, you don't know when you'll be able to meet.
"What?" Hai Lingdi looked at his mother emperor with wide eyes, a look of reluctance. I knew he was going to run away today.
"Ling'er doesn't want to?" Aquaman asked.
"No, no," Hai Lingdi hurriedly waved his hand, but he couldn't anger her, "The mother and the child haven't spoken alone for a long time, and the child can't react at this moment. I also hope that the mother will forgive her sins. ”
"It's okay," Aquaman smiled lovingly, "all of you are guests, please eat and drink well." ”
In this way, eating and drinking until the evening, Hai Lingdi was a little restless. At this time, she was standing there waiting for him again, why did the mother still drink, these guests were really not leaving at such a late hour.
What to do? Just when Hai Lingdi was frowning, she suddenly saw Long Yihan looking at him with a smile, and she dipped her wine and drew an arrow on the table. Hai Lingdi looked in the direction she was pointing, and there was his youngest sister Hai Hannuo sitting.
Hai Hannuo is a very beautiful little ghost, only two hundred years old now, which is equivalent to eleven years old for humans. She is the only daughter of the Empress Mother, the only heir to the throne of the Sea King, and a poor little girl. Less than two years after she was born, her father died, and the mother named their last child Hannuo in his honor, meaning that her promise to him would never change.
If the mother emperor loves Hai Lingdi, then she feels more guilty about Hai Hannuo. When her father died, she was drinking with the Dragon Emperor, and her love for the Dragon Emperor was known to the world. On that day, someone told her that her father was very sick, but she was reluctant to let the Dragon Emperor reluctant, so she asked him to find a doctor to take a look. As a result, my father fell ill and died in bed, in great pain. Although the mother emperor does not like her father, after all, they are a husband and wife who have been with each other for many years, and the affection for each other is always much deeper than her love for the Dragon Emperor. When his father died, his mother regretted it, and he never saw the Dragon Emperor again, and he was doubly good to Hai Hannuo. said it was love, but everyone could see that she wanted to make amends more.
Hai Lingdi frowned, and quietly beckoned to Hai Hannuo. The little Hai Hannuo was very princely, she smiled and nodded at the guests chatting with her, and came to his side, saying, "Brother Huang, what are you looking for me?" ”
"You're a good little girl. In this way, I became familiar with these people. Hai Lingdi pinched her ear and said with a smile.
"Brother Huang, let go, the mother emperor is still watching." Hai Hannuo glanced at him, Hai Lingdi glanced at him quietly, and hurriedly let go of Hai Hannuo. You can't do anything to ruin your image in front of the mother.
"Brother Huang, today is your big day. These people are here for you, don't destroy your image and make the mother queen's face dull. ”
Hai Lingdi pursed his lips in displeasure and said, "Okay, okay, it's not big, and it's quite talkative." I'm looking for you. ”
"Brother Huang, please speak."
"I see that the mother has also drunk a lot, you go and let the mother drink a few fewer glasses, and go back to rest early."
Hai Hannuo turned to look at the Sea King who was still drinking, and asked with some puzzlement: "Doesn't the imperial brother know that the mother emperor is not drunk with a thousand cups?" ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Hai Lingdi had a black line, and the sad little emotions slowly spread on his face.
"Actually, my brother feels sorry for you, you are still so young, drinking hurts your body."
"However, the merfolk have a rule that merfolk who are not underage can drink alcohol. Did the royal brother forget it too? Hai Hannuo frowned and said, it seems that there must be something wrong with the imperial brother, and this matter has to be hidden from the mother emperor.
Uh-uh, the little imp actually remembers so much.
"Actually, my brother knows that the mother emperor is not drunk with a thousand cups, but he is worried that these guests can't stand it." I don't have anything to say now.
"Haha, Brother Huang, you don't often attend this kind of banquet, you probably don't know. We have prepared a large number of decanting pills, which will make people sober up in an instant. ”
I see, no wonder the medicine house is busy every time there is a banquet. But that's not the point, can't this little ghost do a good favor? Hai Lingdi's heart was already furious.
"Brother Huang," Hai Hannuo said, "you don't have to hide it from me. If there is really something, the royal sister will definitely help. ”
"Really?"
Hai Hannuo nodded and said, "The imperial sister has no right to intervene in the affairs of the imperial brother, but I just hope that the imperial brother will not do anything to hurt the mother emperor and yourself." I'll let the Queen Mother go back to the palace to rest. ”
After speaking, Hai Hannuo walked towards the Sea King and snatched the wine glass from her hand. Aquaman, who was about to thunder, became a lot calmer when he saw that it was her little daughter. Seeing that Hai Hannuo didn't know what to say in her ear, the Sea King stood up and said a few words to Hai Hannuo as if he had suddenly realized, and then left.
Hai Hannuo looked at Hai Lingdi with a smile, walked over, and said, "It's done." The Queen said that she had asked you to talk to her today, but now you have to rest, so she asked you to see her again tomorrow night. ”
"What did you say?"
Hai Hannuo smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just reminding the mother emperor that she still has very important things to do tomorrow, and she must rest." ”
"Thank you anyway." Hai Lingdi didn't care about anything important about Aquaman, he was now full of her shadow in his mind. "Then I'll go first."
"Wait, Brother Emperor." Hai Hannuo stopped him.
"Is there anything else?"
"The mother emperor also said that when the palace is closed today, everyone will stay in the Siren Palace, especially you."
Hai Lingdi's excitement disappeared all of a sudden, and he looked back at Hai Hannuo, as if he was asking her why she lied to him.
"Brother Huang doesn't have to look at me like this." Hai Hannuo pulled the Hai Ling Flute and left the banquet. Long Yihan just looked at them with a smile, and the cup in his hand turned around intentionally or unintentionally, and then the invisible strange creature on the table fell to the ground and slowly seeped into the floor tiles on the ground.
They came to a dark and remote cave and stopped. The hole was a little scary, and every now and then there were strange screams.
"Brother Huang, please see, this cave is called 'Mo Wai', and it is rumored that it is full of the souls of people who have died unjustly, and no one has dared to enter it since 10,000 years. It is also rumored that the cave leads all the way to the land, which is the human world. Hai Hannuo said.
"What are you talking about? The Mother Emperor strictly forbade merfolk to go to the human world. Why are you telling me this hole? Hai Lingdi said with some humility.
"Brother Huang, it's the royal sister who is clumsy and forgot the words of the mother, thank you for the reminder."
Clumsy? Oh my God, such a smart little brain is called stupid, so there are a few people in the world who are not stupid.
"Since the imperial brother has no such plans, please go back."
"Okay, okay." Hai Lingdi secretly wrote down the seat here.
When the flowers in the world are good, I am the only one who has a wave. I hope that Qing can pick and find the end of the world with him all his life.
Hai Lingdi quietly ran out, smiled sweetly, and carved these words seriously when passing by the Love Poetry Cliff.
