There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 414. The thirty-fourth dragon scale (twenty-four)

The thirty-fourth dragon scale (twenty-four)

The emperor did not answer Linglong's question immediately, but took out a handkerchief from his arms, first carefully wiped the palm of Linglong's jujube core, and stretched out to her: "Go to my arms. Come here."

Linglong's eyelids lifted: "No."

Okay, if she doesn't come, he will.

The emperor got up, picked Linglong up from the stone stool, sat down on her stool, put her in his arms, and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, as if afraid of her words Disagree and escape. "Someone upset you, what would you do?"

She answered as a matter of course: "Wouldn't it be good to kill him?"

Wrinkled his nose after speaking, as if the emperor said something strange, "If anyone makes me unhappy, I will make him even more unhappy. Isn't this a very simple thing? All the unpleasant things are destroyed, I naturally will be happy."

These remarks are really cold-blooded. In her eyes, human life seems to be not human life, but a toy used to please her.

The emperor is not surprised that Linglong would say such a thing. He has been with her for a long time. He knows that she just looks innocent and childish on the outside. . The most shocking thing is that this cold blood is not her deliberate disguise, nor her distorted character, but her nature. Just as people eat chickens, ducks, fish, sheep, pigs, and cattle, they don't take the lives of livestock seriously, and she doesn't take human lives seriously either.

Would you feel guilty for slaughtering a mosquito and cutting open a fish? Would anyone criticize someone for being cruel and ruthless for eating the meat of livestock?

"Humans and beasts are different." The emperor said warmly, "Tell me, baby, are the claws of tigers and lions more powerful than humans?"

Linglong nodded. She once slept alone in the human world for a long time, from lifeless to human reproduction. Although she didn't see it all, she understood the whole process in general. She had also seen the ferocious beasts in the mountains tearing humans apart. into pieces. Compared with beasts with sharp claws and rich hunting skills, humans are really too fragile. Their teeth are not sharp enough, and their claws are not threatening. They are simply weak and cannot be weaker.

The most interesting thing is that human beings are the first creatures she has ever seen that can use their thoughts to imprison or even kill the same kind of creatures. The intelligence of animals that Linglong has seen before is nothing compared to humans.

"However, such a powerful tiger and lion was locked in a cage made by humans, and learned to head the ball through the fire ring to flatter and please humans."

Linglong didn't understand what he was trying to say, but what he said was indeed something she had always been curious about, and aroused her interest, so she sat obediently in the emperor's arms without struggling or moving, not even jujube Do not eat and listen to him quietly.

"Law, order, and morality, you should restrain yourself before restraining others. We are born as human beings and are independent individuals with thoughts. That's why we learn to unite, help each other, and be kind. You can't Denial, it's a beautiful quality."

Linglong nodded, she had met such a person before. "But there are also many bad qualities."

"This is the importance of legal order and morality. Tigers and lions can't be compared to human wisdom no matter how fierce they are. Humans need to restrain themselves in order to move towards a better future. For a living, they have to fish and weave nets every day to maintain their lives, but before the court issued a ban on the sea and fishing, they have already spontaneously stopped fishing for several months every year, this is to let the fish swarm Being able to grow better is also for my own survival in the coming year.”

Linglong blinked her eyes and listened carefully, "Are you trying to say that people are very good?"

"I want to tell you that people in the world will make mistakes, but they will also repent. This is the reason why the law gives people the opportunity to reform." The emperor gently touched her ear, "It is true that the current law still exists. I’m not mature enough, I’m afraid I won’t be able to see it in my lifetime, but I believe that one day my ancestors will go down from generation to generation, and sooner or later, women will be able to study, go to school and start a family, and men will be able to choose their own paths. , So Linglong, can you understand? We need a lot of time to be a better version of ourselves.”

She shook her head, she didn't quite understand, but she did see how they gradually evolved from walking on all fours to walking upright, and how they evolved from drinking blood to making food and clothing, and gradually evolved into today's human beings. At that time, the "people" she had seen, and even the souls, were thin and ethereal, not to mention scented, which made her want to eat them.

"I'm not perfect either. Ting Lan is my daughter. If she did something wrong, I will punish her according to the law, but if you want to kill her and her concubine directly, that's absolutely impossible." The emperor. He chuckled, "When you lose your temper, you turn around and run, and you don't even want to listen to what I have to say, what can I do?"

Linglong retorted: "You don't want Zhai Mo to die, because you're afraid your daughter will be hurt."

The emperor was helpless: "I didn't finish my words, you came over and kicked here again, where would you give me a chance to continue talking?"

Until now he remembered that the foot was still aching, and he had to soothe him in every possible way.

Unfortunately, is Linglong someone who admits wrongdoing? She exhaled from her nose and said unreasonably: "then who wants you to have a long speech every time you speak, how can I have the patience to listen to you finish? Look at you, just now you are again Having said a lot, do I still need you to teach me these principles? Besides, why should I obey the rules of the human world?”

She thought that the emperor would be annoyed if she was so rude, but he looked at her indulgently and rubbed her pink face: "Because I love you, you will not let me down."

Linglong was at a loss for words. She blinked, blinked again, and finally muttered: "...Well, you're right, tell me how to deal with this."

Mentioning that the emperor will not linger with her, his voice is low and powerful: "According to the law, Ting Lan will be sentenced to ten years in prison and fined all regulatory salaries. The rod blamed one hundred and moved to the cold palace."

After he finished speaking, he paused. Obviously, he hated the ungrateful Zhai Mo more than Ting Lan and Concubine Wan. "As for the concubine, of course, he will be removed from the fame and accompany the princess, and he will bring his mother who dislikes the poor and loves the rich with him."

This punishment is fair, Linglong pondered for a moment and said, "You are right, I suddenly think you are right."

The emperor: "Huh?"

"Xie Chusu's father and daughter are already dead, even if they take the lives of these people, it will not help. The bad people do something wrong, as long as they die, they can make up for it. How can this be done? It is better to live and suffer. Day and night. , life is better than death, is the punishment."

The emperor leaned into her ear and said a few words, Linglong's eyes widened suddenly, and then she smiled, and kissed the emperor's cheek: "How are you!"

My mouth is bad, but my eyes and brows are full of smiles. I really learned today. It turns out that punishing others is not the quickest way to kill them. There are other ways. The old fox is indeed an old fox.

The emperor chuckled: "Ting Lan is my daughter. If she makes a mistake, I will punish her. Her temperament is one thing, but the temptation of the concubine is another. Doesn't he like being the concubine? Do you want to take this opportunity to step into the sky?"

What if you can't do it for the rest of your life?

His daughter did something wrong and didn't put the lives of the people in her eyes. If the emperor was an out-and-out foolish monarch, he wouldn't take it seriously, but he has been doing things for the people all his life. Waiting for someone, tomorrow will be able to lose people's hearts, and all his hard work over the past few decades will be in vain. In the future, with a single stroke in the history books, the Emperor Yu will be infamous for thousands of years.

Ting Lan likes the concubine, but Zhai Mo doesn't want to be the concubine, and Zhai Mo's mother covets wealth and honor. The center of all this is Zhai Mo.

I heard that the Zhai family was passed down through five generations, and Zhai Mo was brought up by his widowed mother. How could the emperor, who can check clearly, not know how much help the father and daughter of the Xie family helped, such a kindness is as heavy as a mountain The benefactor, the mother and son can forget it in an instant. What is the need for such a bloodline to continue? How long can Ting Lan love an inhumane husband? Years later, will she regret that she wasted her life for such a thing when she was young?

The emperor did what he said. He not only punished him, but also informed the world of the crimes of these people. If Zhai Mo, the first person, was envied and admired, it would be disgusting now. Then the Xie family's father and daughter are more than his enlightenment mentor and fiancee? It is also the benefactor who saved them from water and fire. It is not an exaggeration to say a word of kindness and re-creation. Who would have known that he would turn his face and ignore people once he developed, and he would kill people alive in order to climb the high branches, even if he did not do it himself, but if you say It has nothing to do with him, who would believe it?

Also, Concubine Wan, although she loves her daughter, doesn't take the lives of the people seriously. Princess Tinglan even knows that Zhai Mo has a fiancée and wants to rob her, so can Jinzhiyuye not take human life seriously?

On the other hand, the sage also wrote a self-crime book, stating that although he is the son of the emperor, he is also a father. - This is the first emperor to admit mistakes to the people throughout the ages!

Therefore, after Zhai Mo and others suffered numerous scoldings, the emperor successfully ushered in a wave of good names. Not only that, even the emperor's concubine and biological daughter were severely punished. Who else would dare to be domineering in other noble families? The emperor took advantage of the situation to abolish the law that the emperor must be punished, so there was another wave of crazy praise. The literati wrote poems and lyrics to praise the virtues. Every day, the emperor came back from the court with a deep and indifferent expression, and when he saw Linglong, he smiled and hugged her. It's great to share the psalms the world has written for you.

Linglong is really convinced by this scheming old dog!

She learned! She will do the same from now on!

Ting Lan never thought that her father would check everything out, and she almost went crazy when she learned that her princess title had been cut and she was about to be banned! Noisily and clamoring to see the emperor, the official who came to **** her as the head looked very indifferent: "The Holy Master said, even if you know that you are wrong, you should still be punished, and regret will not help."

Ting Lan cried again and wanted to see Concubine Wan, but Concubine Wan was lying on the bed in the cold palace with a hundred boards. The bedding was old and ventilated and the walls were mottled and moldy. No one cared about her life or death. Where else have the energy to consider Ting Lan? If it wasn't for King Huaiyang's secret management, I'm afraid he would have been burned to death!

How can the delicate and snow-white body that has been maintained can stand up to this hundred boards, Wan clenched her teeth with hatred, and regretted the beginning, but she regretted, but she only regretted that she was not concealed enough, not careful enough, and people were caught.

She casually slapped her with a stick, and Xie Wanshu was beaten to death. Such a gentle and gentle man was beaten to the ground, his bones were broken. Who would have known that there would be such a day when the Wan family would also be beaten, turning from a noble concubine to a commoner? She began to be suspicious, always feeling that Xie Wanshu was haunted, and asked her to beat him all day long.

Ting Lan cried and was imprisoned in the West Palace. This is a place specially used to imprison the royal family and relatives. After the emperor ascended the throne, the laws were strict and everyone acted cautiously. a guest.

There are no servants here. Only twice a day the palace servants come to deliver meals, and there are no chickens, ducks, or fish. They are all rough and hard to swallow meals. The fragrant and soft bed, you have to do everything yourself. No one spoke, no outsiders were seen, and the mental torture day after day was enough to break down.

When food, clothing, housing and transportation are all problems, "love" is not worth mentioning.

At first, Ting Lan was able to demand her mother Zhai to serve her, but after a long time, how could she endure it? She didn't like this arrogant and domineering princess daughter-in-law. She had been patient because of the noble status of the other party. Now that the saint doesn't care about Ting Lan, what is she afraid of?

Before she met Xie's father and daughter, Zhai's mother relied on laundry and doing some rough work to make a living. She was born with a big waist and a big waist. Can Ting Lan be her opponent? After being beaten a few times, she became honest. The princess, who was tired of all the delicacies of mountains and seas, actually learned to wash clothes and fetch water to serve others. As for Zhai Mo...he was severely beaten, and he remained silent all day long, regardless of his mother's coaxing and persuading him. Bullying is useless.

The fame is gone, and his reputation is already stinky outside. Everyone uses him as a negative example of perfidy. What is the use of his ambition and talent? The sage rejected him, and he had no hope in this life.

He actually hated his own mother. If she hadn't pushed her to be the princess, and now Chu Su is still by his side, Mr. Xie is wise and knowledgeable, and he will definitely be able to point him to the sky. ?

So these three actually hated each other. As time went on, Ting Lan became stronger and younger. If Mother Zhai beat her again, she would fight back. Mother Zhai, who was beaten with bruises, ran to find Zhai Mo vented his anger, but Zhai Mo only blamed her for being poor and loving the rich for letting him down on Xie's father and daughter!

The son is the lifeblood of Zhai's mother. The son hates herself, and Zhai's whole person collapses!

Because of all these things, Ting Lan and Zhai Mo were no longer close. After living in the West Palace for half a year, Zhai Mo realized that he could not "stand up"! The thing below him was as unresponsive as it was dead!

Ting Lan immediately burst into tears and remorse when she heard it. Mother Zhai fainted. When she woke up, she washed her face in tears. They don't have a doctor here.

The only king of Huaiyang who took the initiative to confess his guilt after his mother and sister were punished. It stands to reason that the death of Xie's father and daughter has little to do with him. He just covets Xie Chusu's beauty. If you really want to say it, it's not a big deal.

So this voluntary admission of mistakes made people feel that he was responsible, not to mention that before he left, he asked the emperor for permission to visit Wan and Tinglan, and the image of a good son and brother with a profound sense of justice immediately deepened. people's hearts.

Linglong: Oh, I learned, she will do the same next time.

Humans are so treacherous!

She used to be so naive, she would say whatever she thought, and act when she was unhappy, but now she realizes that cutting flesh with a dull knife hurts more—thanks to the emperor's earnest teachings, and even seems to have the attitude of being out of blue.

I feel like she has a lot to learn from humans!

The king of Huaiyang, who was once at the center of power and considered by many to be the future heir, actually fell from the altar overnight and was reduced to guarding the imperial mausoleum outside. Who didn't know that guarding the imperial mausoleum was a chore? Not only is it remote and cold, but the most important thing is to show respect, not to drink, not to eat meat, and not to be close to women! The treatment has always been reserved for princes who have made big mistakes, but King Huaiyang actually invited Ying himself!

It shows that his character is outstanding!

Therefore, although King Huaiyang is gone, his reputation is better.

People handle it almost, and Linglong's greatest pleasure has become eating in front of the emperor. He looks old. He is not a young man, but he is a meatless man. He wrote an edict saying that he would not eat alcohol and meat for three years, and he actually implemented it very seriously!

Linglong nibbled chicken legs in front of him, and the emperor ate green vegetables and tofu in front of her. In order to implement the policy of eating vegetarian to the end, even the soup base of tofu soup is vegetarian. How could the emperor eat tofu like this in the past! It was the chicken soup that was boiled at the best time to skim off the tofu boiled with the oil flower, and the tofu was full of fragrance after a bite, and now the tofu...

Linglong laughed at him wantonly: "Is the tofu delicious, Holy? Do you think my chicken legs are delicious? I think it's a bit oily, so annoying, I will reward you!"

He handed the remaining plate of chicken drumsticks to the little palace maid who was serving next to her. The little palace maid was so happy that she hurriedly knelt down and thanked her, and then her hair stood on end. She looked at it and found that the sage had complicated eyes, so she quickly retreated. Come down, my God, the eyes of the Holy One are too scary!

The emperor is greedy for meat!

He and Linglong Dianluan Daofeng couldn't help biting her tender flesh with his teeth on a greedy night, not to mention the strong aroma of meat in his nose. Linglong eats meat in different ways, and can fry, fry, fry and cook fish in dozens of ways. Who can resist this? !

Unfortunately, the emperor kept his word, three years... He was already in pain after only three days!

In order to stop the pain of gluttonous meat, which has nowhere to be placed, Linglong discovered within a few days that the emperor carried this Buddhist scripture wherever he went. In order to show his swearing to follow the emperor, Lao Yuxian also accompanies him to be vegetarian. He ate it for about half a month, but he couldn't stand it anymore. On the surface, he was vegetarian with the emperor, but in fact, he had to secretly eat two bites of jerky when he lay down at night.

The only serious vegetarian is the emperor.

The worst is not this. He himself can't say anything about Chinese dresses and quilts. Every day, except for the dragon robe, he wears ordinary commoners only worn by ordinary people. In the evening, after the two of them rolled the sheets, she loved to enjoy it, and she must eat well, dress well, sleep well, but the emperor swore that he would not sleep with a quilt for three years! After he was refreshed, he had to climb down from the soft and comfortable bed and go to the prepared bed to sleep...

He ordered someone to find the bed from the people. The bedding was not soft cushions but straw. The top layer of straw mats, and even the quilt was filled with heavy cotton, which was heavy and heavy on the body. Not warm.

Linglong laughs happily every time at this time, as if making fun of the emperor, she herself is not afraid of the cold, in order to see the emperor make a fool of himself, the charcoal basin is removed in the cold weather, the earth dragon is also extinguished and does not burn, the emperor With her teeth chattering from the cold, she was wrapped in the warm quilt and laughing until she was dying, and by the way, she tempted her: "...Come on, come and sleep with me~"

Soft tones, amazingly beautiful girls, and a dragon bed that looks so comfortable.

Doesn't the emperor want to?

Of course the emperor wants to!

But he just can't get there!

He tried to counterattack Linglong: "Baby, would you like to come and feel the folk bed?"

Linglong respectfully thanked Bumin: "I don't want it."

"It's funny, it's a little hard, but it's fresh. You always sleep in such a soft bed, it's not good for the bones."

Listening to his serious nonsense, Linglong didn't believe it: "A child has no bones and no waist, isn't that what you said?"

The emperor felt that it was pointless to talk to her, so he simply sat up and lifted the quilt, rushed over and dug Linglong out of the soft quilt, bringing a burst of coolness, and quickly wrapped her in his ear. In his arms, he returned to his bed and sighed in satisfaction.

The little body in his arms is warm and much more comfortable than sleeping alone.

Linglong frowned and moved: "This bed isn't that hard to sleep."

After finishing, she suddenly realized: "I see, you even have more straw than others!"

Is it the emperor, even if he personally ordered it, the old fish fairy would not dare to let the saint sleep on a simple wooden bed made of straw? But the emperor ordered it to be put there, so the old fish immortal made a clever move and said that he wanted to sleep on the bed of ordinary people, but he didn't say that he couldn't put more grass mats! Therefore, there are several layers of straw mats under the emperor's body. Although the thorn of the straw is still inevitable, it is definitely much more comfortable than the original one.

Old Fish Fairy is embarrassed to say that the saint has worked hard for the past few years, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. In fact, everyone can now weave mats and stuff them with cotton, so winter is not so difficult.

Shang Sheng personally recalled the common people's bed that Yulong and Baifu saw when he was young, and said with great emotion that he was going to sleep. As a confidant of the Holy High, the old Yuxian couldn't say how many years ago it was all about, he could only try his best to do his best. Let the saint sleep more comfortably.

Alas, what a hard job he is, the head of the house! Not only do you have to be fully responsible for the things that the Empress has to manage, but you also have to worry about the sage's clothing, food, housing, and transportation. It's really not easy!
