Chapter 64: Heavenly Palace (15)
"I have neither met them nor spoken a word to them."
"What are they...worshiping me for..."
[Chang Yufeng] looked at the endless starry sky and asked incomprehensible questions to the people around him.
Towering sculptures were carved from his never-seen portrait. His throne, his princess, and his beloved pets were all favored because of him.
Their sculptures stand together in the ancient wilderness. Perhaps he is "merciful", his throne is "majestic", his princess is "beautiful", and his pet is "docile", they are lifelike,
But in his eyes, they were so unfamiliar, as if covered with a layer of white fog, no matter how solemn and solemn they were against the dim yellow stone of the sculpture.
He felt that they were twisted. At least, they were not him, not his princess, and not his beloved.
He is not always benevolent. He is in charge of administration and manages the affairs of the royal family. Perhaps sometimes he is always quiet and patient in mediating complicated affairs. In the hearts of his people, he has long since lost his anger.
But he always has moments of anger. He gets angry, angry, and furious, but it seems that they are not allowed to appear on his face.
His princess is indeed "beautiful", but sometimes, he wants others to describe his princess as "lively", or "virtuous", or "talented". She is not only beautiful. Or
Speaking of beauty, it is so natural to her that there is no need to emphasize it at all.
But people always don't want her "brilliance" to cover up the king's glory. It seems that she can only be "beautiful".
Then his pet.
That beautiful blue bird always flies beside him and rests on his shoulder. It is never docile. It is lively and active by nature, yearning for the freedom of the sky. There is no cage or anything unseen.
Living people can get its "docile" clear cry.
"I don't know very well...my king..."
She looked at the normally arrogant Wang looking at the sculpture in the distance in a daze, thinking that Wang also had something on his mind, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
This question really stumped her.
How should she answer?
"Maybe it's because of... the king's prestige?"
"No, that's not what I mean..."
"what is that?"
She doesn't quite understand.
The long-feathered maple lay on the grass, and the starry sky suddenly spread out in the ocean, falling with the meteors, moving forward bit by bit with time.
"I don't quite understand either...so I'm asking...right?"
Chang Yufeng glanced at her sideways, and then returned to the starry sky.
His princess was a little confused, but he laughed.
"You see, even I have some reasons that I don't quite understand...compared to these worldly things...I care more about what my people eat every day..."
He watched his princess also slowly lie down, lying quietly on the grass, stretched out her arms, made a big sign, snorted lazily, twisted her body, and stretched her bright arms under the moonlight.
On his chest, it was like a child, smiling proudly.
Although they were not laughing at the same thing, both Chang Yufeng and his princess were extremely happy.
This is really a rare day.
They had free time to come here and watch the sculptures of themselves as kings and princesses entering a new round of [wheel of time] in the starry sky and lights.
In the legendary era when there was no year yet, the wheel of time meant the end of the past and the arrival of new life.
What a beautiful day they sang and danced at his statue.
Laughter and laughter, lights brightly lit.
Waiting for the new life to begin.
"Only by knowing what they are eating can I really understand whether they are living a good life...whether they are happy or not..."
His starry eyes were like stars falling into his eyes, melting away in an instant, condensed and dotted, suddenly like mountains and seas.
"If a person has to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation every day, he must be unhappy...The most important thing is...if you don't eat well, you will feel bad all day long..."
He spoke eloquently and said it so seriously.
“I once heard a traveler complain that there were so many delicacies from the royal family that they didn’t know what to bring back, so that in many cases they had to lighten their luggage to refrigerate cart after cart of delicacies.”
When he said this, he smiled happily.
His princess also echoed.
"Really? Then I guess this traveler must be from the Elf tribe..." The princess took her hand away from her chest and suddenly placed her thigh on his thigh like a naughty cat.
Let the wind carry her dress fluttering.
As if she felt uncomfortable otherwise, the corners of her mouth raised involuntarily, and she stretched her body again. This time, she put her hand under his neck, as if she was the gentle pillow giving him.
The red dress is like stars, and the colorful sea of stars reflects the curtain of the blue sky.
"It's from the Dragon Clan~ That Dragon Clan traveler probably never dreamed that the delicacies he mentioned are almost common in the Royal Clan... Haha..."
He closed his eyes comfortably, he is a real cat, he likes to curl up and enjoy the warmth of others.
He lay on his side, resting on the princess's white arm.
Looking at her profile happily.
"Perhaps this is why your people admire you, my king..."
She also went to meet him and accepted his curling up.
He closed his eyes as if tired.
"Even if they have never met you... they still miss you..."
"They will never forget what you have truly done for them..."
She caressed his face and held him in her arms.
What kind of confusion did he have to ask such an obvious question?
He knows that he is "kind", but he is too afraid that his kindness will not last forever...
What if one day he "changes"...is no longer so kind...will this [god statue] that was erected come crashing down...
He didn't know, so he was afraid.
She stroked his cheek and coaxed him to sleep.
She also felt a little sad. In the heavenly palace above the sky, there were gods who no longer felt sad.
They no longer care about their own people, no longer teach kindness, no longer maintain order, and no longer uphold justice.
Let their [spokesmen] speak their [words].
Perhaps, she can also ask such questions:
The spokespersons have never seen real gods, so why do they know that this is this, that is that, true is true, and false is false?
She looked at his handsome face, moved closer, cheek to cheek, and kissed him deeply.
Accompanied by the fragrance of flowers, her kisses intertwined together like a dream, bringing her tenderness from life to life.
"You have done a great job...my king...those long and distant years have passed..."
"No matter how difficult and dangerous the future is, I will always be with you..."
After she finished the kiss, she lay down on her side again.
The quiet wind blew through the wilderness without any hesitation, and suddenly disappeared, leaving behind the grass field that was still trembling slightly.
Cheers and cheers covered the sky.
