Chapter 1 There is a Girl Next Door

The Hidden Moon Palace was built at the highest point of the Miracle Mountain, and the moon seen there was several times larger than the ground, and its existence was enough to block the brilliance of the bright moon, so it was named the Hidden Moon Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the so-called high places are not cold, the Hidden Moon Palace is cold all year round, it is already sparsely populated, and it is more and more quiet and lonely.

At the highest tower of the Hidden Moon Palace, a green lantern scorched the dark night sky like a star, and the low sound of the stringed piano conveyed the empty and lonely heart of the Fuqin people. One string, one piano and one person, the jade fingers fly slowly, the piano trembles and stops, miserable and miserable, intermittently half a day can not finish a song, extremely lonely and boring.

In a little bit of blue light, a woman's delicate and graceful figure flickered, the flowing and soft wide black velvet robe wrapped around the holy body, the brown and red slightly curly fluffy long hair could not hide the woman's beautiful face, the bright eyes like water were boundless and ethereal, but the eyes were lifeless, the face was pale and bloodless, and the heart was probably like stagnant water for too long.

In the silver plate on the altar, a golden egg shines in the night, accompanied by the sound of the piano like water, the golden egg slowly appears subtle cracks, more and more, click! The eggshell parted in two, and a small bird poked its head out of the eggshell timidly, and its two black eyes looked curiously around the world it had never known.

The woman stopped stroking the qin, slowly got up, walked to the altar, gently held out the little bird, and walked to the rooftop, looking down at the earth in the clouds, the Holy Spirit Continent and the Holy Maiden Sea were at her feet, so vast and lonely.

The Holy Spirit Continent is divided into two major plates by the vast and vast Sea of the Holy Maiden; The people of the Holy Spirit are accustomed to call it the East Coast and the West Coast.

The Sani royal family is orthodox in the Holy Spirit Continent and has a history of thousands of years; The palace of Sani was built on the east coast, on a grand scale and richly decorated, and the current king Sa'er was old and slow, and the affairs of the kingdom were presided over by his eldest son, Sawi, and his younger brother, the Count of Sayu, as auxiliaries;

The Holy Spirit Forest is located on the west coast and is a gathering place for the Phantom Clan who are proficient in illusion.

In the past hundred years, it has been rumored that a new country has emerged on the other side of the Miracle Mountain north of the Sani Palace: the Bucia Dynasty, they have close ties with the Demon Clan's stronghold Xiumo Island, and their power has gradually expanded and grown, intending to destroy the rule of the Sani Kingdom and replace the Sani Kingdom's dominance in the Holy Spirit Continent.

The Miracle Mountain is towering and surrounded by clouds and mist all the year round, and people are afraid to climb it, so few people go to the side of the mountain, so all kinds of things about the Bucian Dynasty are full of mystery;

The people of the Holy Spirit rise and rest at sunset, repeating the monotonous and happy little days, but the conspiracy of the dark forces has not been abated, and the open and secret battles of the various forces have never stopped, and everything seems to have reached a climax in this dynasty, and the war is like a volcano that has accumulated energy for a long time, and it may break out at any time.

Jin Yu is in the world, a heavenly girl, a heavenly girl is the world!

The woman stroked the bird in her arms and muttered: Some of the past may be forgotten so that we can survive!

The woman gently put the bird into the nest that had been arranged, poured a glass of water and put it next to her, watching the birds peck, the water rippled, rippling in a circle, like the ripples in the small lake that she often played in childhood.

She was only nine years old in her memory.

The Coral Palace is one of the auxiliary palaces of the Heavenly Universe Palace of the Holy Spirit Forest, specializing in rare and exotic treasures. She has lived in the Palace of the Coral since she was born, and she was born with a bright and distinct coral birthmark on the tip of her nose, a symbol of the Palace's noble lineage, and will officially become the owner of the Palace when she reaches the age of eighteen. In charge of the affairs of the palace. Her mother named her Shanshan.

The descendants of the Coral Palace are born with an extremely rich affection for water, and Shanshan is no exception, and in every picturesque and hazy dusk, Shanshan always puts herself in the water and swims around like a fish.

Not far from the Coral Palace there is a small grove with a small lake, and a tender meadow like a huge crystal stone inlaid with green satin; red, pink, yellow and blue wildflowers dotted with meadows; Butterflies and bees flutter among the flowers in swarms, looking for their surprises; Cheerful birds on the branches of the trees sang love songs that humans could not understand;

During her childhood, she often sneaked into the grove to play with the animals in the woods and play with the fish in the lake during the most stressful days of her spell classes, until she was found by her teacher and dragged out of the lake and brought back to the Coral Palace.

Shanshan was only nine years old at the time, and she didn't know that there were men and women in the world. When she came out of the water and saw the beautiful boy standing on the shore who was already speechless in surprise, she gave him a mischievous smile and raised him with a lake face.

Later, the boy gave her his cloak and gently told her that every girl who is infatuated should wear a beautiful dress in front of her beloved boy, so that he would fall in love with her.

The boy's eyes were so bright, his smile was so gentle, and he said so seriously that Shanshan suddenly had a cute idea in her heart, she really wanted to be that infatuated girl and grow up quickly, and put on the most beautiful clothes for this beautiful boy, so that he would fall in love with her.

As the boy left, he gently scratched the tip of Shanshan's nose with a coral birthmark on it, and said, "I am a prince, and I will live in the palace across the sea, and you will grow up quickly and become a beautiful girl, and wear beautiful clothes, and then I will come back and marry you and be my bride!"

The prince just walked away, with reluctance to Shanshan, with a promise to Shanshan.

Although Shanshan wanted to keep the prince, she didn't say anything, just smiled and watched the prince leave, she firmly believed that the prince would definitely return; The prince's smile grew farther and farther away, blurring more and more in Shanshan's vision, and only the transparent crescent-shaped pendant with silver light on the prince's chest could be seen vaguely. Slowly, slowly, the prince's figure disappeared into the horizon, leaving only half of the remnant sun glowing with blood-red light, stinging Shanshan's eyes, piercing Shanshan's heart, and a tear slipped down in an instant. That was the first time Shanshan had cried for a boy.

Many years later, Sansa no longer remembered the appearance of the little prince, only the vague smile as bright as the sun and the crescent moon pendant as bright as water; And the words that the prince said when he left: "Grow up quickly, and grow into a beautiful girl, and wear beautiful clothes, and then I will come back and marry you and be my bride!" Because of this ethereal and vague promise, Shanshan has dreamed of countless times, looking forward to becoming a prince bride.

So much so that when she saw the prince again as an adult, the emotion spread through her whole world like a prairie fire, burning everything in her. She pursued her heart like a madman, so determined.

Ten years later, Shanshan is eighteen years old, and Shanshan has grown up.

For the people of the Phantom Clan, the coming-of-age ceremony is one of the most important ceremonies in their lives, after the ceremony, they can become a real adult, they can get married and have children, serve in the army, preside over the ceremony, etc., Shanshan can officially become the master of the Coral Palace, presiding over all kinds of major events of the Coral Palace.

In the temple hall of the Phantom Clan, dozens of young women knelt naked in front of the goddess statue in four rows, waiting for the priestess to preside over the ceremony for them, and Shanshan and her good friends Long Quan and Luo Yi were waiting for the girls in the front row to perform the ceremony;

"Ahh ――――”

A cool breeze blew, Shanshan shivered, she hugged her body tightly with her arms, and secretly cursed in her heart: Damn coming-of-age ceremony!

The steps of the girls' coming-of-age ceremony are to tie their hair in a bun, pierce their ears, wear a corset, and then the elf queen will give them a coming-of-age ceremony, and they will truly become adults!

Shanshan looked at the unbearable and ugly face of the girl in front of her because of the pain of the ear piercing, and she couldn't help laughing; The tedious and lengthy coming-of-age ceremony has been tossed for almost a day, and the girls can't hold on anymore because they can't get dressed, can't talk, can't move, can't eat.

Shanshan was extremely bored, and secretly glanced at the Roy people on the left, the woman of the Rainbow Tribe is a famous beauty, and the Roy people are the first beauty of the Rainbow Tribe, watching her snow race white and red like a freshly ripe peach, Shanshan is envious; She turned her head to peek at Longquan on the right, Longquan She inherited all the advantages of the dragon bloodline, her tall figure was delicate and curved, and the delicate and elastic skin was faintly showing the unique golden water ripples of the dragon clan.

Yes! --------------

A tingling pain came from her cheeks, and the priestess had skillfully pierced Shanshan's ears with silver needles, put a pair of silver earrings on her, then tightened her bodice, helped her get dressed, and then gently kissed her on the forehead, and said softly: "Congratulations on growing up!"

The ceremony was finally over, and the girls walked out of the temple rubbing their sore knees, and the girls' families outside the temple were waiting for them to come home. Shanshan limped out of the temple, and the silver earrings kept shaking with the swing of her body, constantly reminding Shanshan of the pain in her ears; The tightly bound corset was a little breathless, uncomfortable, hungry, and depressed.

Aunt Lu Jue and Granny Yin had already been waiting for Shanshan outside the hall, seeing Shanshan's unhappy appearance, the aunt gently stroked Shanshan's hair with her hand, and asked her if she was going well, Shanshan coquettishly threw herself into her aunt's arms and began to complain: It's so boring! I'm so hungry!

Shanshan's mother had a difficult birth when she gave birth to Shanshan, and when she was dying, she entrusted Shanshan to her sister Lu Jue and then died, Lu Jue raised Shanshan wholeheartedly in order to keep her promise to never marry for life, and in Shanshan's heart, she believed that her aunt was her mother, and Lu Jue also regarded Shanshan as her own child, and the two had a good relationship.

"Granny Silver has prepared Shanshan's favorite crab roe cake and peach blossom cake, eat some to cushion your stomach first, knowing that you have knelt in the temple for a day, you have worked hard, let's go back and have a good meal!" Mrs. Lu Jue motioned to the personal silver mother-in-law to bring the snacks that had been prepared long ago, Shanshan ate without any image, and Mrs. Lu Jue carefully took the embroidered silk handkerchief to wipe the pastry dregs on the corners of her mouth little by little, and her eyes were full of love.
