Chapter 70: Biluo
Mu Chen stayed at the bottom of the sea for two more days, and he didn't see the queen a few times during this period, I don't know what she was busy with, but the queen appeared in the palace on time every night. Of course, Mu Chen still slept on the floor.
During the day, Mu Chen was dragged around this undersea palace by Wang Chang. often pulls Mu Chen to learn spells, and the relationship between the two has also improved a lot.
That night, the queen returned to the palace as usual. But the difference is that this time the queen came in with several palace maids led by the king.
The queen said lightly, "After the marriage is completed tomorrow, you prepare a wedding dress for him." ”
"Yes. "The king chief took the order and took those palace maids to measure Mu Chen's size.
Mu Chen looked confused and let them hold the ruler belt and gesture on him.
How can you say that if you get married, you will get married?
After the queen finished speaking, she went straight to the window sash, sighed, and started again.
Mu Chen found that looking out the window and being in a daze was what the queen had to do every day. Her expression is sometimes lonely, and sometimes a smile appears on her face. Mu Chen always felt that the queen had something very important hidden in her heart.
Mu Chen saw that the queen was in a daze again, so he whispered to Wang Chang and asked, "Why are you suddenly in such a hurry to get married?"
Wang Chang shook his head and replied in a low voice: "The queen suddenly ordered that the marriage be completed tomorrow night." Now the outside is stepping up to arrange the things to be used for marriage. ”
"Oh......"
Mu Chen didn't ask anything more, anyway, he had already planned his escape plan.
These days, Muchen asked Wang Chang to take him around the palace, and he had almost figured out the time of guarding here and the escape route.
Mu Chen believes that when the queen gets married, there will definitely be many people coming to celebrate. As long as he waits until tomorrow's wedding, Mu Chen can take advantage of the chaos to escape.
Sleepless nights.
Mu Chen and the queen both didn't sleep all night. A person's mind calculates every step of the escape to make sure that nothing goes wrong. The other man was lying on the bed in a state of distress, tossing and turning and never falling asleep.
Early the next morning, two people who were about to get married stared at the four dark circles under their eyes and opened the door.
Outside the dormitory, there are colorful lights, red couplets, festive lanterns, and various flowers. There was a festive atmosphere everywhere.
Mu Chen thought to himself that this place was far away at the bottom of the sea, how did they get these things overnight?
"Queen, the dress is ready. The chief of the king led two palace maids, one of whom came over with a set of dresses.
"Hmm. The queen nodded, looked at Mu Chen and said, "Go and try it." ”
Mu Chen took the dress, turned around and walked back to the dormitory.
When the door of the dormitory opened again, a handsome boy appeared in front of everyone.
Mu Chen's red wedding dress set off the fairness of his skin. He wore a gold belt around his waist and a red headband on his head. He held his right hand at his waist, the long sleeves of his shirt hung straight down, and the other hand was naturally behind his back, adding a hint of maturity.
The queen smiled slightly after seeing it, nodded and said, "It's not bad, it's quite in line with your temperament." ”
"It's time for me to try. ”
The queen walked in with her wedding gown, and with a wave of her hand, the door shut.
"Mu Chen, this dress is really worthy of you! Congratulations, groom, you will be our king in the future!" Wang Chang said coaxingly.
Mu Chen smiled faintly and said modestly: "Brother Wang said that he laughed, what is the king and not the king, we will still be brothers in the future." ”
"Hahaha!
Mu Chen talked with everyone outside for a while. Then, the dormitories suddenly opened.
The queen's voice came from inside: "Mu Chen, come in, the others go and do what you have to do." ”
"Yes. ”
The fishmen outside the dormitory retreated one after another, and Wang Chang patted Mu Chen's shoulder, smiled at him and said, "Go and see the bride!"
Mu Chen looked inside a few times before slowly walking in.
As soon as he stepped into the door, Mu Chen saw through the white gauze curtain that the queen was wearing a red wedding dress, sitting upright on the edge of the bed with her head covered.
"Close the door. The queen spoke faintly.
"Oh, good. Mu Chen gently closed the door of the dormitory and continued to walk towards the room.
I saw that the queen's wedding dress was not like an ordinary wedding dress with dragons and phoenixes, but embroidered with a mermaid, a sea, and the afterglow of the sunset.
Just when Mu Chen was admiring the wedding dress, the queen spoke again: "Help me remove the hijab." ”
Mu Chen thought that it was not a wedding anyway, and it was nothing to remove the hijab, so he stretched out his hand and slowly removed the queen's hijab.
"Queen, why are you crying?"
Beneath the hijab was a tear-stained face. At this time, the queen didn't look as vigorous as usual, and the two tear stains left two marks on the queen's delicate makeup, mottled and shining with crystal dots, adding a touching style.
The queen raised her head to look at Mu Chen, gently patted the position beside her, and motioned for Mu Chen to sit down.
Mu Chen's face was full of doubts, and he didn't know what the queen's intentions were, but he still sat down.
"Let me tell you a story. ”
"Huh?"
The queen wiped tears from her eyes and told a story from a long time ago.
Once upon a time, the mermaids lived in the depths of the East China Sea. It is far from the mainland and will not be disturbed by the world.
The king of the merman tribe has a little daughter whom he loves the most, Biluo.
Biluo has been cute and well-behaved since she was a child, and when she grows up, she is even more slim and slim, and is regarded by the clansmen as the first beauty of the shark clan.
Because she is loved by the whole clan, Biluo has lived a carefree life since she was a child, and in the merman clan, she wants wind and rain, and almost everyone follows her.
But soon she grew tired of it, for her father, the king, never allowed her to leave the merman, even if she was exposed to the sea.
When she grew up, Biluo longed for the world above the sea, and she would swim not far from the sea every day and look up in the water. Through the sea, she saw blue skies, white clouds, and winged birds.
She likes birds, because birds are free to fly freely with their big wings, and go wherever they want, but Biluo can't, she has no wings and no feet.
Until one day, Biluo looked at the sea again, but suddenly a boat appeared to block her view.
Just as she was about to swim away, a face was reflected in the sea. A teenager lay on the edge of the boat, gently stirring the sea with his hand, causing layers of ripples.
Biluo wanted to see the young man's face clearly, but the ripples shattered the water mirror again and again. Biluo was so angry that she ignored her father's orders, stretched out her hands upwards and swam out of the sea.
"Ahh
The boy who was in a daze on the side of the boat was startled by the sound of the sea, and fell to the deck with his face covered.
As the water calmed down, the boy lowered his hands and slowly opened his eyes. In the sea across from him, a woman as beautiful as a hibiscus out of the water was staring at him carefully.
"Whew," the young man said to himself, holding his heartbeat chest, "It turned out to be a girl, I thought it was a shark!"
"No, girl?" the young man immediately got up and shouted at Biluo, "Girl, girl, why are you in the water? Come here, I'll pull you up!"
The young man found a wooden stick from the side of the boat and stretched the other end to Biluo, "Grab it, I'll pull you up." ”
"Hurry! It's dangerous in the water, or you'll die!" The boy saw that the girl in the water was still in a daze, and thought to himself, could it be that she fell into the water and became stupid?
The anxious young man simply took off his coat, jumped directly into the water, and quickly swam towards Biluo.
Biluo saw that the boy could swim, and happily swam to the boy's side.
"Girl, you know how to swim, quick, come back to the boat with me. The young man didn't care about the difference between men and women, grabbed Biluo's hand, and pulled her to swim towards the boat.
But the boy's hand gave Biluo a different feeling, a feeling of heartbeat. Since she was a child, she has held her father's hand and her friend's hand, but it doesn't feel like this.
In a trance, Biluo suddenly saw the merman guards swimming towards her in the sea, Biluo hurriedly pulled out her hand, she didn't want to hurt the boy.
"Girl, you ......"
"Ten years later, ten years from now you are waiting for me on the shore. I'll definitely come to you. Biluo pointed to the shore on the left hand side and promised the boy.
Just as the boy looked at the shore, Biluo dived to the bottom of the sea with tears in his eyes.
It was her first time out on the water, and it was her first contact with humans, and everything was so new, but so short.
After Bi Luo returned to the merman tribe and was imprisoned by the king for three days, he ordered that she be forbidden to leave the palace for half a step.
Just like that, Biluo was grounded for ten years.
Ten years later, Bi is an adult. There are countless handsome young men in the merman clan who have come to propose marriage. There are princes and nobles, as well as children of ordinary people, who have long heard of the princess's peerless beauty and want to come and see it.
But in the past ten years, the princess has dreamed of the boy at sea every day. In her dreams, she can stand on the deck with the teenager and look at the sea, or she can walk hand in hand with the teenager on the beach by the sea. She knew that she had long been in love with teenagers.
"Tomorrow is the princess's coming-of-age ceremony, and at that time, I will choose a good son-in-law for Biluo. The king made this exciting announcement in the presence of his courtiers.
"At the coming-of-age ceremony of the princess, you should choose a man who is suitable for her husband. The news spread throughout the Shark Clan, and all the adult men began to prepare. Those who know martial arts have stepped up their practice, and those who know poetry and songs have put pen to paper to make poetry portraits for the princess. Dressing, bathing, all want to show their best in front of the princess.
The news of choosing a husband naturally reached the ears of Princess Biluo.
"Father, I don't want to get married. Tomorrow is my coming-of-age ceremony, why do you want to marry me?" Biluo cried and rushed into the study.
The king glanced at Biluo, and continued to pick up his pen and read the piece.
"Father!"
After a while, the king put down his pen and said, "How can there be a girl who does not marry?" Tomorrow's choice of son-in-law is not for you to marry him immediately, but to settle down first. As a father, your life's events should be set for you as soon as possible. ”
"But, father, I ...... I don't want to marry someone I don't like. ”
"Oh, how about you choose a man you like at tomorrow's coming-of-age ceremony?"
Bi Luojian couldn't convince his father to cancel tomorrow's choice of son-in-law, so he had to tell the secret that had been hidden in his heart all along.
"Father, in fact, his daughter has always belonged, he is ......"
"Shut up!"
Before Biluo could finish speaking, the king angrily threw the piece in his hand in front of her.
"You're in love with that human man, aren't you? Don't think I don't know, you've been thinking about him since you saw him ten years ago, haven't you?"
"Why does a father want his daughter to marry someone else when he knows that he has someone he likes?" asked Biluo, crying.
The king stepped down from his throne and said angrily, "Because you are a merman, and he is a human being." My merman clan has never interacted with humans, and there is no way for you to interact with each other!"
"Why! Why!" Biluo collapsed to the ground, she didn't understand why her father did this, why he was so disgusted with humans.
