Pluto's Golden Apple

Chapter 3 Judging the Golden Apple

In ancient Greek mythology, the story of the golden apple is the most famous, because a golden apple caused the war between Greece and Troy.

"Tianfu, if Paris hadn't awarded the golden apple to Venus, wouldn't there have been a catastrophe later?" A young woman in red held a pen in her hand, lost in thought.

Tian Fu stroked his gray beard: "Princess, I'm afraid there will still be disasters. Myths and stories are all excuses for the catastrophe, which are said to be God's will. I'm afraid there is God's will in the dark." Tian Fu He responded respectfully to the girl's words.

"It's rare for Huanyun to be so interested in the content of this chapter." The woman who spoke was a woman in a dark green gown, who looked younger than the woman who asked the question just now. She had a smiling face, but there was no irony in saying this mean.

The red-clothed woman frowned slightly, concealing a trace of anger welling up in her heart: "Huanxuan, no matter what, I am still your sister, can you call me by my name like this?"

Tianfu didn't want to make such a mess in a good class, after all, there were more than 10 students waiting for the class to continue.Tianfu cleared his throat and advised in a low voice: "Eldest princess, second princess, please stop making trouble, let's continue the lecture."

Huanxuan smiled slightly, with the corners of his eyes slightly raised: "How dare I make trouble with our eldest princess, my sister offended me."

Huanyun snorted coldly, continued to pick up the book, and listened to Tianfu's lecture.

After finally getting out of class, Huanxuan still wanted to play tricks on Huanyun. She walked up to Huanyun and said respectfully: "Big sister, since there is Paris in Greece to judge the golden apples for the most beautiful goddess, you think we Do you want to go down to the mortal world to find someone to judge the most beautiful goddess in his heart?" Huanyun felt happy when he heard this, it was a good idea, she was almost out of breath staying in the heavenly court, she just thought for a while After a moment, he nodded in agreement.

Seeing her thoughtful look, Huanxuan couldn't help laughing in his heart.Hmph, don't you just hope that ordinary people can say that you are the most beautiful?

Huanxuan held back his smile, and pretended to discuss seriously with Huanyun: "Then, the two of us are together, and there are only two goddesses. Who do you think we should look for?"

Huanyun thought for a while, in the entire Heavenly Court, there is not much difference in the ages of the older princesses, and the younger ones are too young, and their facial features have not yet developed. It seems a mistake to pull them to be evaluated by others. fair.Thinking about it, Huanyun laughed: "I see, let's take the third sister with me. In terms of age, the three of us are not much different. If we bring the one who is too young, how can people judge?"

Huanxuan snorted softly: "But the third sister is only 13 years old, she is still a child."

Huanyun was displeased: "What do you usually do? Forget about it. It will be the third sister's birthday in a few days. At that time, the third sister will be 14 years old. In the mortal world, a mortal who is a mother at the age of 14 There are a lot of people around, so why is this unfair? Could it be possible to find younger sisters?"

After hearing this, Huanxuan really couldn't think of a suitable person, so he nodded and agreed: "Well, on the day of Sanmei's birthday, we will take her down to find a mortal to judge."

A few days later, Huanrou, the third princess of the Heavenly Court, had her birthday.

That day, the heavenly court was very lively, nobles and courtiers from the heavenly realm rushed to send all kinds of rare and good things, even the Haidi in the sea palace and the king of the underworld in the underworld personally brought people to celebrate the third princess Huanrou's birthday.Everyone in the three realms knew that the three princesses, Huanrou, were the most favored by the emperor. Perhaps the future emperor's seat would be taken over by the three princesses.

As far as the three realms of heaven, sea, and underworld are concerned, although they are complicated, they can be basically summarized.The Emperor is a woman, yes, a woman.The emperor used his own blood to mix divine power, and used his own body as a medium to give birth to various princesses. This, from the perspective of our people today, may be the earliest sex technology.Only the three princesses were not born in this way.It is said that the emperor was a lover when he was young, but she fell in love with a mortal. The three princesses, Huan Rou, were the daughters born of her natural conception with a mortal.Among the emperor's many princesses, Huanrou is the most gentle and beautiful, just like her name, giving people a comfortable feeling.It's just that the three princesses have a somewhat condensed personality. Although they are gentle, kind and generous, they always give people a sense of distance that is difficult to approach.Haidi and Pluto are both men. This Haidi is called Li Kun. He is quite young and has just received the scepter from his father.Pluto and Emperor are about the same age, and they are both Li Kun's elders. Pluto feels cold and quiet, which suits his identity very well.

On this day, the heavens were decorated with lanterns and festoons, and reflected in the human world, it was naturally clear and peaceful, and the world was prosperous and peaceful.

Liu Jue Leng was lying on a piece of green grass, with a grass root in his mouth, and chewed it forgetfully.

Liu Dali came, and when he saw her like this, he felt infinite anger in his heart: "You damn girl, I told you to herd sheep, so you just lie here and relax!" Liu Dali was so angry that he picked up a tree and With the stick, he slammed it at Liu Jueleng.

"Oh dad, don't beat dad, Jue Leng is going to herd the sheep right now, don't beat him anymore." Liu Jue Leng doesn't even have the mind to lie down, the most urgent thing is to escape her father's beating.

"You child, it's all right if you don't give birth. You are really unfeeling!" Liu Dali threatened Liu Jueleng, complaining and left.

Liu Jue Leng breathed a sigh of relief.Who is to blame?Blame it on herself.

12 years ago, Liu Jue Leng's mother was pregnant with Liu Jue Leng, and Liu Jue Leng should be the last child of her and Liu Dali.In fact, they didn't expect Liu Jueleng to be born at all.Therefore, when she was pregnant with Liu Jueleng, Liu Jueleng's mother Zhu Xiufen was 1 reluctant.She twisted Liu Dali's leg so hard that Liu Dali hissed, and when it hurt, she gave Zhu Xiufen a melon seed with a big ear.

"Crazy bitches!"

Zhu Xiufen cried because of grievances: "Didn't you ask you to wear that labor? How could you still be pregnant? There are 4 children in the family, are you going to die of exhaustion?"

Liu Dali obviously hadn't recovered from the pain, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "What can I do if I want to borrow your belly?" It seemed that Liu Dali didn't reflect on the harm he caused for Zhu Xiufen's unexpected pregnancy.

Zhu Xiufen burst into tears, causing the neighbors in the village to come to see it. It's strange, this Liu Dali doesn't look like a wife beater.

When Liu Dali saw that the neighbors were here, he was ashamed and angry, so he had to blushed to coax Zhu Xiufen. Zhu Xiufen, a woman, saw that the neighbors were all here, and she cried a lot, looking like she was raped , All the snot bubbles came out, I hugged whoever I saw and cried for a while, and wiped my nose by the way.The neighbors were so scared that they didn't dare to stop and watch. Looking again, I'm afraid that the clothes washed in the river by the village will turn the river into a river of snot.

Liu Dali saw that the neighbors were almost gone, so he turned down his face and coaxed Zhu Xiufen with kind words: "This child must be a bastard, don't worry, when he is born, I will discipline him and let him know His mother gave birth to him hard."

Only then did Zhu Xiufen stop crying, and burst into laughter.

It was not the first time that Zhu Xiufen was pregnant, but when she was pregnant with Liu Jueleng, it was extremely difficult.During the ten months of her pregnancy, she never had a good night's sleep and vomited badly every time.The morning sickness reaction, which would only last for a while, seemed to be magnified 10 times in her body.Therefore, Liu Dali and Zhu Xiufen hated Liu Jueleng from the moment they conceived her.Liu Jueleng not only made Zhu Xiufen vomit badly, but also almost killed Zhu Xiufen when Zhu Xiufen gave birth to her.Logically speaking, it would not be so difficult for a woman who has given birth to four children to give birth to a child, but Liu Jueleng's body is dislocated. According to the midwife, the child probably didn't do anything in the stomach and only practiced kung fu.Zhu Xiufen exhausted her last breath and squeezed Liu Jueleng out.

When the midwife held the child, the child's face turned red, and the midwife hurriedly patted the child's buttocks as before, hoping that she could cry for the first time so that she could breathe.But the strange thing is that Liu Jue Leng smiled and grinned after being slapped on the butt.Surprised the midwife.The child who was still mixed with amniotic fluid was smiling at himself.The midwife yelled and left Liu Jueleng behind and ran away.The incident quickly spread in the village, and people said that Liu Dali's youngest daughter was the reincarnation of a goblin.

The combination of all these factors made Liu Juelan unpopular with his parents since he was a child.Including this name, when the government sent someone to register the child's name, Zhu Xiufen snorted coldly: "It's called Jue Leng, Liu Jue Leng. This child has no sympathy at all." The name is very satisfying.

The strange thing is that Liu Dali is a butcher, and Zhu Xiufen is also the kind of woman who is big and thick. The first few children they gave birth to have some shadows of them, whether they are tall or strong, but this Liu Jue Leng, the older they are, the more handsome they are , even a bit enchanting.The child who is only 11 years old has lost some of the childishness of children of the same age on his face, and has added a bit of aura.Liu Dali asked her to herd sheep every day, thinking in his heart that he would let her marry when the child was 14 years old. She was pretty, and even if she was sold to a rich family as a maid, it should bring some income to the family.Unexpectedly, Liu Juelan was talented and intelligent, and some playmates who had studied would occasionally teach her to read a few lines of sage scriptures. She never deliberately memorized them, but these things seemed to be imprinted in her mind.It's just that she didn't dare to tell her parents, for fear of telling her parents that they would scold her for not doing her job properly, or she would get another beating.

Liu Jue Leng tidied up his messy hair, sighed softly, wondering when this kind of life would end.Not long ago, my brother joked with himself, saying that he would sell himself to the landlord's house as a concubine.If an ordinary child heard it, she would definitely cry, but when she heard it, she felt a little yearning in her heart.In the Landlord's Mansion, there must be many interesting things, and perhaps a few interesting people.Liu Jue Leng laughed instead of crying, which annoyed her big and thick brother, and chopped off the white sheep's head on the chopping board in front of her.

In the heavenly court, there was a staggering array of toasts, and an endless stream of gods came to congratulate, the emperor was very happy.

"Your Majesty, these three princesses are becoming more and more beautiful, and they really look like His Majesty the Emperor." Haidi Likun flattered her.

The emperor smiled slightly. She didn't like Li Kun being the new Haidi very much. In her eyes, Li Kun was a rather sinister person, but since the guests came, they couldn't take the guests' face off: "Your Majesty Haidi is very polite. It's really an honor for my little girl to be praised by His Majesty Haidi."

Next to the Emperor, sat a girl in white clothes. After hearing this, she just smiled slightly at Haidi, polite and alienated.This smile made Haidi fall into deep thought: If someone in the Three Realms could get her, it would be worthwhile for her life.

Haidi saw that the emperor was difficult to deal with, so he turned to Huanrou and said, "Sister Huanrou, maybe you haven't seen me before. My name is Li Kun, and I am Haidi from the sea world. My sister is about the same age as me. Can become close friends. Though my sea realm is not as grand and magnificent as the heaven realm, it is also full of talents. If my sister takes a fancy to a handsome talent from our sea realm, Li Kun will definitely be a matchmaker."

Huanrou smiled slightly: "His Majesty Laohai is bothering you, Huanrou is still young, and his mind is not on this."

The emperor secretly smiled, Haidi was flattering to the horse's leg, Huanrou was good in everything, except that he was a little indifferent to xx.Many years ago, the gods acted as a matchmaker for their youngest son, hoping to marry Princess Huanrou in the future, but Princess Huanrou coldly refused. No matter who it was, they all said that they were young and had no intention of managing.After going back and forth like this, the heavens know that the emperor's third princess, Huan Rou, has a very high heart, like a thorny rose, which can only be watched from a distance and not played with.

Pluto sneered, apparently he didn't like this eloquent Haidi very much: "Li Kun, I'm afraid you have your own heart."

Haidi was very angry when he heard Pluto calling his name directly, but it was not easy to show it at this banquet, so he had to apologize: "Your Majesty Pluto, how dare my nephew make such a move?"

Huanrou felt that these adult official accents really made her feel uncomfortable, so she greeted the empress with an excuse, and went out to breathe.

The second princess Huanxuan winked at Huanyun, Huanyun understood, and hurriedly greeted the queen mother, sneaked out of the hall, and chased up Huanrou with Huanxuan.

"Big sister and second sister, why are you here?" Huanrou didn't expect her two older sisters to come out.

Huanxuan shook his head: "Don't say that you are boring at that kind of banquet, we also blame it when we see it."

Huanyun smiled and echoed, "That's right, that's right."

Huanrou felt strange. According to the past practice, the elder sister and the second elder sister are the most keen to participate in this kind of banquet. Both of them are very interested in the emperor's seat. They are also about the same age. One is the most intelligent, shouldn't he behave well in front of the empress at this time?

"To tell you the truth, the story of the golden apple told by Tianfu a few days ago made us feel funny. Like the Greek gods, we went to find someone to judge the most beautiful goddess, okay?" Huanyun really got to the point.

Huanrou smiled faintly: "In my heart, the eldest sister is solemn and elegant, and the second sister is extremely intelligent. You two are the most beautiful goddesses in our heaven, what else do you need to compare?"

Huanxuan felt unhappy, extraordinary wisdom is not a description of appearance at all, she thinks that her appearance will never be inferior to Huanyun, and she has long wanted to compare.

"Sister, good sister, you can go with us, you just pretend to make up the number. Anyway, you haven't fully opened your eyebrows yet, this mortal man will definitely make a choice between us, you just want to satisfy us Think carefully." Huanxuan grabbed Huanrou's cuff and swayed it gently.

Huanrou looked at the expressions of the two elder sisters, feeling helpless, knowing that they must compete, otherwise they would not give up lightly.Huanrou sighed, and said: "Paris in Greece caused discord among the gods because of a golden apple. If you have to compare, you must promise me that no matter who the mortals choose, you will not bring disasters, and there will be no disasters." Dissent, don't embarrass mortals."

When Huanyun heard that his sister seemed to agree, he was very happy: "Don't worry, my sister, your second sister and I are both princesses of heaven, how can we be as narrow-minded as their western gods?" Huanxuan also nodded in agreement.

Huanrou thought for a while, and then said: "Since you guys want to compare, how about we choose a mortal woman to judge this time? A mortal man always has a little more affection when he examines a woman. If a woman judges a woman, maybe it will be better." Judging purely on the basis of beauty. Even if the woman chooses one of you, it does not mean that the other one is worse, it just represents the woman's aesthetics, do you think this is good?"

Huanyun and Huanxuan looked at each other and felt that this idea was very good. The three gods were like this, ready to go to the mortal world to find someone to judge.

Liu Juelan never dreamed that he would actually meet the gods in his lifetime, or three beautiful and extraordinary goddesses.

"Children, we are gods in the sky. I want you to be the judge. Here is a golden apple. Give it to the one you think is the most beautiful among us." Huanyun in red was quite imposing, although he restrained his breath a little , still made Liu Jue Leng feel a little frightened.

I saw the goddess in red with a noble expression, like an extraordinary nobleman.Liu Jue Leng thought to himself, this goddess must have a very high status.Huanyun's gestures are full of aristocratic atmosphere, no wonder other gods in the heaven say that Huanyun has the most bearing of the emperor when he was young.

Next to the goddess in red is a woman in a dark green gown. At first glance, it may not be unusual, but if you look closely, you will find that she is full of affection, her eyes are full of autumn water, and there is something inexplicable in her pair of watery eyes. Love, looks very shrewd.

"Sister, don't scare her." The voice came from the girl next to the woman in the dark green gown.This girl looks about the same age as him, Liu Jue Leng thought to himself while secretly developing a sense of affinity.

"Little sister, my two elder sisters ask you to make a judgment. Who do you think is the most beautiful among them, you can give her this apple. Don't be afraid, we are just having fun." Huanrou felt cold towards Liu Juehan Pity, how could a child from a mortal family have seen such a battle without being so frightened that he went home sick?Thinking of this, Huanrou sighed again in her heart, she felt that the two sisters were extremely ridiculous, and it was not easy to get angry.

Liu Jue Leng blinked her watery eyes. She looked at the goddess who was talking to her. This goddess was dressed in a white shirt, as elegant as a hibiscus out of water, with gentle eyes and a tall nose bridge. Coupled with red and thin lips, Liu Jue Leng was stunned.If this girl were to be placed in the mortal world, she might be a troublesome beauty.Liu Jue Leng was taken aback by the vocabulary in his mind, when did he learn such indecent words?

Liu Jue Leng tried her best to calm herself down. She knew that there were not many chances to meet the gods, so she had to find some good things from the gods, so that maybe her parents would not embarrass herself so much.

Liu Jue coldly cleared his throat: "Since I met the three fairy sisters, it must be fate, so Xiaomin will be straightforward. The three sisters want to decide the winner so much, is there any benefit for rewarding Xiaomin?"

The three goddesses looked at each other and were shocked. How could this child look like he was frightened to death?Her eyes were shining brightly, she was sneaky, and she looked shrewd, not at all like a child should have.

Huanyun laughed, but there was a bit of chill in that smile: "Third sister, look, your idea is still interesting, this really looks like Paris in Greek mythology."

Huanrou was also just slightly startled, and then looked at the little girl carefully, only to feel enthusiasm and joy shining in her eyes, she realized that her worries just now were really unnecessary.

"Okay, now that you have spoken, let's learn from the Greek gods. Child, if you give me the apple, I will let you become the village chief of your village in the future." Huanyun smiled slightly, not angry , Liu Jue Leng's body trembled when he saw it.

Huanrou frowned slightly, the sisters had clearly promised themselves that they would not affect the fate of mortals.But the elder sister has said a word, and it is not easy to go back on it. Fortunately, she did not promise that the child will become the emperor of the world in the future.

Huanxuan was not happy anymore, she didn't want to be compared to herself at all: "If you give me the apple, I will make your family very rich and very rich, the richest one."

But what do you want so much money for?Let my family be so rich, what if my parents still treat me so badly?Parents don't know that they helped them get rich.If you have money, you won't be able to go to the landlord's house, and if you can't go to the landlord's house, you won't be able to see interesting things. Liu Jueleng sighed inwardly, this is obviously not what she wants.

"Then what will you give me, sister?" When Liu Juehan's voice met Huanrou's gaze, Huanrou was slightly taken aback. She had never thought of participating in this competition, but at this moment the two sisters were staring at her. She, if she tells her true thoughts, the two sisters will definitely be angry.

Huanrou thought for a while, what could she promise to this child so that her fate would not change so much?

"Everyone in the world wants power, money and love, so I promise you love. In the future, when you meet someone who makes you blush and your heart beat faster, I will fulfill your wish and let you and him be together." This promise It shouldn't be too much, it's just a lover, there won't be much change in fate, Huanrou thought silently in her heart.

In fact, Huanrou didn't expect that it was these words that changed the trajectory of Liu Jueleng's life, but at this moment, everyone didn't know about it, and this is another story.

Liu Jue Leng thought about it, even though he didn't understand what Huanrou was talking about, he silently wrote it down.She already had the answer in her heart, she had it from the moment she saw Huanrou's face, and she became more determined when she heard her reassure her that she was not afraid.Although being the village chief and a lot of money are very attractive, 11-year-old Liu Jueleng is still just a child, how can he be willing to worry so much like an adult?

Liu Jueleng stepped forward, picked up the golden apple and handed it to Huanrou. The three goddesses were stunned at the same time. Huanyun and Huanxuan were supposed to pull her to make up the numbers, but unexpectedly... Huanrou After realizing it, she hurriedly comforted the two sisters: "She is still too young, don't blame her, she must think that I am the closest to her age and have a sense of intimacy."

Unexpectedly, Liu Jue Leng said at this time: "It's not like that. The sister in red is very beautiful, so majestic and aura, which makes people a little scared. The sister in green is also beautiful, but there are too many things in her eyes. Looking forward, a little deliberate. Only sister you are different, you don’t want me to give you at all, but I really think you are beautiful, you are the most beautiful, most beautiful and most beautiful girl I have ever seen, and there are 10 more apples , I still want to give it to you."

Huanrou was afraid that the two sisters would get angry, so she quickly pulled Liu Jueleng away and covered her mouth with her hand.In an instant, Liu Jue Leng smelled an indescribable fragrance, which was soft, warm, and somewhat condensed, a fragrance she had never smelled before.

At this time, Huanyun and Huanxuan's faces were already somewhat embarrassed, and they were not easy to attack. Huanyun laughed at himself: "Mortals are mortals, especially women, who are the most infatuated, and power and money are not as good as love." After speaking, he flew back to heaven.Huanxuan also snorted coldly, and followed behind Huanyun.

When Huanrou was also about to leave, Liu Jue Leng grabbed her sleeve: "Sister, do you want to leave too?"

Huanrou said softly, "I should go too."

Liu Jue Leng suddenly felt extremely reluctant: "Sister, will we meet again? I don't even know your name?"

Huanrou smiled slightly: "Huanrou." This is a different way to go to the gods, how can we have a chance to see each other again?
