Chapter 5: True Suffering

Long Yihan proudly promised in front of the Sea King: "Your Majesty the Sea King, please rest assured. I must treat His Royal Highness Lingdi well, and never let him suffer hardships. ”

"That's fine." Aquaman's voice was a little more vicissitudes, and he sighed and said, "My son has grown up pampered since he was a child, if he is willful, you have to take care of it." Again, if you lose my son, I will fight for my life and kill the dragon's nest to draw your tendons, pick your skin, and drink your blood. Did you know? ”

"Yes. The daughter-in-law remembers her mother's teachings. Long Yihan smiled, and his warm smile was as dazzling as the sun. However, she did disdain it in her heart. Old thing, when you get the position of Dragon Emperor, what can you do with me?

"It's early." Hai Lingdi couldn't listen to it anymore, "We haven't gotten married yet, don't make us look like a family." What a daughter-in-law, but also my mother, that's my mother. ”

"Ling'er." The Sea King scolded him softly, "His Royal Highness Long Er has been tolerant enough for you, don't know what to do." If you continue to do this, I will not care about you in the future. ”

"The Mother. It's okay if the child is wrong. Hai Lingdi hurriedly lay on the knees of the Sea King and was coquettish.

"Alright, you guys go. The mother queen is old, so I will go back to rest today, and you can keep it here for hospitality. The Sea King touched the head of the sea spirit flute and walked away with a smile on his face.

The Mother Empress. Hai Lingdi looked at the sea king who was a little staggering, and felt a lot more uncomfortable.

"Hypocrisy." Ah Zuo glanced at Long Yihan with disdain.

Hai Hannuo also heard it, and looked back at her with a frown. Ah You hurriedly covered Ah Zuo's mouth and smiled ashamedly at Hai Hannuo.

"Don't be stupid, if your words are heard, the master will not be able to protect you." Ah You is really tired, not to mention a naΓ―ve master who doesn't know the impermanence of the world, and now he has such a partner who is infatuated like a fool.

This banquet is also a little embarrassing, although no one said it, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Royal Highness Lingdi doesn't like His Royal Highness Long Er at all.

Long Pingcheng watched her imperial sister pestering the spirit flute quietly on the side, and her heart was unspeakably unhappy. However, she could only look at it, and then tried to burn her brain with glass after glass of spirits.

Hai Lingdi hid from Long Yihan, and told the Sea King that he was not feeling well and went back to rest, leaving only Long Yihan, who was also indignant in his heart. Just when she was angry, she saw Long Pingcheng, who was drinking alone, and walked over with a smile.

"Thank you, sister, for helping my sister snatch your brother-in-law back from that mortal." She whispered.

Long Pingcheng's wine glass paused: "What the imperial sister says again, the little sister can't understand." ”

"Before I got engaged, I knew everything Hai Lingdi did. Do you think that if you become a rhyme, he will like you? You're stupid. ”

"Now that you know, I don't have to hide it. Yes, I like the Hailing Flute, I've liked him for a long time. Hahaha. Long Pingcheng laughed self-deprecatingly, "This is the truth, what can you do?" ”

"Actually, I don't want to marry him."

"What did you say?" Long Pingcheng was so excited that he stood up all of a sudden and slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground. The laughter and laughter around them suddenly stopped, and everyone looked back at them.

"Hahaha." Long Yihan immediately changed his smile, "Everyone, the sister has drunk too much, please bear with me." Eat and drink well, everyone. "People didn't ask much because of the face of the dragon clan, and they went to play their own games.

"Listen to me. You should know that I have liked Long Yixin since I was a child, and I must make him a righteous monarch. However, Hai Lingdi must also be married, and only he can let his father give me the position of prince. Originally, I wanted to find an excuse to kill him after I got what I wanted. ”

"What?" Long Pingcheng's killer suddenly turned the surroundings very cold.

"But when I saw him, I didn't think so." Long Yihan didn't care about her anger at all, and said to himself, "He is really a rare and wonderful person in the world." Although he is a lot more willful, he always makes people unable to get angry. The other day, I kept trying to snub him and make him hate me, so maybe I could still be ruthless. However, he simply didn't care. In this way, I am even more ruthless. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"Grafting." Long Yihan said.

Long Pingcheng looked at her suspiciously, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Since you like him, then after my wedding to Hai Lingdi, while I am receiving guests, find an opportunity to cook raw rice into rice. In this way, he can only marry you. Moreover, my father can't blame me. Wouldn't it be just right that the position of prince would be mine? ”

"Despicable. You want to ruin my reputation and that of Little Di'er, and I will never agree to it. Long Pingcheng suppressed his voice, and his heart and liver were trembling.

"Think about it. You're not interested in the throne, and I'm not interested in Hai Lingdi. After this incident, you can take him away, and you won't be annoyed if you don't hear it. What reputation, who will remember in a few years. ”

"I don't agree." Long Pingcheng left indignantly.

"Still doesn't work?" At this time, Long Yixin walked over and naturally hugged Long Yihan's arm, very enchanting.

"She'll think it through." Long Yihan turned around, looked at Long Yixin gently, and quietly left with him.

Soon the engagement banquet passed, and according to custom, Long Yihan also left the sea, taking Long Pingcheng, who was still "running away".

The surface of the sea is much calmer, and it is not at all as stormy and gloomy as the fishermen say. The big fish on the surface of the sea jumped happily, and their cries pierced the souls of the newly arrived ones. She spread her hands and enjoyed the air of the sea with his scent on it.

"Your Highness, the things in the villa have been packed, do you want to go and have a look?" Lantian came to her side and said.

"Where's Guan Hailang?" Luo Yunluo put his hands behind his back.

"According to His Highness's orders, his subordinates carefully checked it several times, but they didn't see His Highness's words engraved on the wood."

Really. Luo Yunluo squinted his dangerous-looking eyes, and had a little plan in his heart.

"The order goes down, from this day on, no one will be allowed to go to Guanhailang. Also, renovate the bath. ”

"How does Your Highness want to fix it?"

"The bath is surrounded by a closed wall made of soundproof material, leaving a door and vents. There is also a large opening at the bottom of the bath to connect it to the sea. Luo Yunluo thought about it and said.

What the? Lantian was a little confused, wouldn't it leak if it was opened? Could it be that His Highness likes to bathe in the sea?

"Still stunned for what to do. Go quickly, and deliver tomorrow. If you can't do it well, you, the chief of the guard, let Xian go. Luo Yunluo said unceremoniously. didn't care about how bitter Lan Tian was in his heart.

Your Highness, the chief of the guard is not here to do this. It's better to hurry, or you won't be able to keep this little black gauze hat on your head.

Lantian got the order, and hurriedly went to find someone to work.

It was still early, and Luo Yunluo rode her red horse to a nearby fisherman's village, ready to learn about the "Siren".

When the fishermen heard that Her Royal Highness had come down, they all came out to greet her with trepidation.

People's lives are really bad. Fishing nets were drying everywhere, and a few strings of chili peppers and a few dried fish hung on the eaves of the low thatched huts. Presumably, this is also the last food they have left.

"Your Highness lives here today, which of you still has a vacant room?"

"Villain, villain here." As soon as a timid old man finished speaking, he was viciously pulled back by the old man of her family.

Luo Yunluo also pretended not to see it, and said, "Then His Highness will live here today." ”

The old couple knelt on the ground at once, and replied loudly in a voice that was both vicissitudes and helplessness: "Welcome to Your Highness." ”

When he was done, the old man hurriedly took down the dried fish that had been on the eaves for an unknown amount of time, and suddenly remembered that there was no salt at home. Hurry up and urge the old man to go to the beach to get seawater and boil salt.

"What about your children, why don't you let them go?" Luo Yunluo felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help asking.

"The unfilial daughter is not as filial as His Highness, she dislikes us two old things dragging her back, and goes out to make a living alone. Now that we have no money at home, we can only wait for death slowly. It's a pity that there is not even a person to send to the end. The old man began to cry as he spoke.

"Cry for what. How can you be rude in front of Your Highness? The old man quickly pushed the old man aside and whispered, "If you annoy her, you will lose your head." The old man was so frightened that he stopped his tears.

Luo Yunluo heard it, but he couldn't refute it a word. Although Qianshun is the capital of the Purple Country, it is prosperous. There is dirt and dirt everywhere, and the mother queen can't do anything about cleaning it up for so many years. Not to mention that all of them are mercenary, what's more, there are several incompetent people like He Shuiyang who were robbed of their rights by a man, and they can't even protect their children in the end.

A few big girls helped the old man get seawater, and the old man of her family boiled some coarse salt, added some water to it, and started the fire. After a while the water boiled, and the old man carefully put the stinky dried fish in it and boiled it slowly over low heat. His eyes were fixed on the dried fish in the pot, as if he was afraid that it would run away.

The old man was not idle, she took two black objects in her hand and soaked them in the hot seawater that had just been boiled, and crushed them little by little with chopsticks.

Time passed very slowly, and Luo Yunluo sat on the stool that was about to rot and watched them, feeling very uncomfortable. If this is her mother, the emperor, how can she give it.

"Your Highness, your meal is ready." The old man walked over with the big bowl of fish and meat in a trembling and careful manner.

"Old man." Luo Yunluo hurriedly got up and wanted to take it, but she didn't want her to scare the old man in such a hurry. The old man's hand shook and he suddenly pressed the rice to the ground.

When Luo Yunluo looked at it and was about to say that it didn't matter, the old man suddenly collapsed to the ground and cried: "Oh my God, this is the only food that can be taken out of the house." I hold it in the palm of my hand every day, for fear that it will be gone, and I will be blamed. As he spoke, he slapped his face on his face full of wrinkles and dark spots.

The old man heard the movement and hurried in from the courtyard. She saw the soup and fish all over the floor, and the expression on her face became fierce and helpless. She walked over with a trembling rage, raised her hand and began to beat the old man.

"This is the last food in the family, you broom star, you are going to kill our Zhang family." The old man did not resist, and let the old man beat him, but raised his hand to block his head.

"Stop." Luo Yunluo grabbed the old man's hand.

The old man turned around and saw that it was Her Royal Highness, and suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Highness forgives your sins." I'm an old man, my eyesight is bad, I accidentally spilled your food, I just hit him, I hope you don't blame him. ”

Luo Yunluo originally blamed her for beating her husband, but her words really made Luo Yunluo realize that she really helped each other in this world to grow old.

"The villain is going to find you something to eat." After the old man finished speaking, he got up tremblingly, picked up the fishing net hanging on the wall, and was about to go out.

"Wait." Luo Yunluo stopped her, "Actually, the food on the ground can still be eaten." She stepped forward, crouched down, put the muddy and smelly fish meat in her mouth, and chewed it. She chewed slowly, savoring the earthy and bitter taste of the sea.

"Your Highness, why are you crying, isn't it delicious?" The old man looked at Luo Yunluo squatting there crying, and his heart was a little panicked.

Luo Yunluo held back her tears and shook her head and said to the old man: "You really have a good husband, and his cooking is the best thing His Highness has eaten in his life." ”

"Do you still have a bowl here?"

"Yes." The old man was embarrassed and took out a bowl with a missing opening and handed it to Luo Yunluo, "Your Highness, this is the only one." ”

"It doesn't matter." Luo Yunluo took the bowl with both hands, and suddenly felt that she was no different from those mercenary people, the same fine clothes and fine food, and she didn't know the suffering of firewood, rice, oil and salt of the people.

She squatted on the ground, picked up the fish and chili pieces into a bowl, washed them with clean water, and sat there to eat them with her hands.

The old man and the old man also laughed, and brought out the black things that had just been mashed with chopsticks and ate them aside.

"What is this?" Luo Yunluo was a little curious, didn't they just say that they didn't eat?

The old man smiled embarrassedly and said, "If it's not delicious, Your Highness, don't ask." As he spoke, he hugged the bowl in his arms.

This whereabouts rhyme also knows that it is not a good thing. She lowered her voice as much as she could, "It's okay, old man, I just want to know what this thing is?" ”

"This, this, this, ......," the old man was even more embarrassed.

"Black leaves. The older generation said that the leaves were edible. My wife and I went up the mountain to pick a lot, mashed it and got together, and when it was time to eat, just soak in some hot water. The old man said more generously.

Luo Yunluo reached out and took a little and put it in his mouth, and frowned. It's bitter, it's hard to swallow, and it's numb. Luo Yunluo clenched his fists and swallowed hard, but he still couldn't help but want to spit it out. She hurriedly brought water and washed the leaves that she hadn't chewed on. However, I still have chills.

"Is that all you eat?" After swallowing it, Luo Yunluo calmed down a lot, and fish meat was really the highest food. "Your Highness is not very hungry, let's eat together." Luo Yunluo put the fish meat into their bowls, leaving only a little bit, and at the same time took some of the black leaves from their bowls and put them in her own bowl. Ignoring their objections, he frowned and ate.

Today I wanted to ask about the "Kraken", but I didn't expect to know more important things. She is Her Royal Highness, and she should not forget these suffering people.

To be honest, it's really hard to eat!
