Chapter 1: Mowgli
The capital of Yunni Country, Yunye City.
In the center of the city, the royal forbidden land, the magnificent palace, exudes majesty.
Snowflakes fell, cold winds blew the earth, and the sky was an endless gray.
Every time the queen dies, the city of clouds and leaves always flutters with snowflakes during the day and stars shine at night, and people are accustomed to this.
Today is the queen's death day, regaining the past, the emperor is depressed, and he went out of the palace to worship.
Today is also Princess Snow Star's 11th birthday.
In the courtyard, laughter continued, and the young Princess Snow Star and the Sixth Prince were playing.
In the distance, the Nine Princes were coming with their two children.
That handsome young man is the adopted son of the Ninth Prince, Die Yehan, who is thirteen years old. The girl is the sister of Butterfly Night, known as the "prodigy", Butterfly Qihua, twelve years old.
Butterfly Yehan and Princess Snow Star have known each other since childhood, and they have no guesses. The emperor tried his best to protect his beloved daughter, but in this complex deep palace, there are inevitably various power struggles and intrigues, and I have to say that the survival of the young princess is always at risk! The sixth master and Die Yehan are both guarding Princess Snow Star in their own way. When the emperor is a little slack off due to state affairs, it is when they must stand up to protect the princess!
Approaching step by step, Butterfly Yehan saw the sixth prince holding Princess Xuexing's hand.
Princess Snow Star saw Butterfly Yehan's jealous face, and said with a faint smile, "We're just playing." ”
Die Yehan only felt that it was not impossible for Princess Xuexing to be really attracted by the charm of the six princes. After all, this man is tall and handsome, with a noble temperament, loyalty, and a sense of security.
The young Die Yehan was dissatisfied, and looked at the sixth prince with a wave of provocation in his eyes, trying his best to show the courage that a thirteen-year-old boy could have, and said quietly: "Uncle, give me the princess, how about it?" ”
The sixth prince looked at Die Yehan with a smile: "Let it be given to you?" ”
Butterfly Yehan looked directly into the tall man's eyes without giving way, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward and solemn. This teenager exudes a dangerous aura that does not match his age.
Princess Snow Star suddenly hid behind the Sixth Prince, who was still holding her little hand. I saw her poke her head out timidly and look at Die Yehan cautiously.
"I didn't expect the dignified young master to be a vinegar jar." The sixth prince said teasingly, with a smile in his eyes. The other adult, the Nine Princes, was silent, silently letting all this develop, but his eyes kept sweeping over the Six Princes and Die Yehan, thinking that they would have a try.
Princess Xuexing saw the unwillingness in Butterfly Yehan's eyes, and couldn't help but hurriedly break free from the hands of the sixth prince.
Unexpectedly, the sixth prince took the lead in letting go of her hand.
Die Yehan thought that the sixth prince would rush to say, "Let the horse come!" Unexpectedly, the sixth prince smiled, and just said kindly: "You guys play!" Ninth brother, let's go into the house and talk. ”
So, in the vast courtyard, only Princess Xuexing, Butterfly Yehan and Butterfly Qihua, three children.
The two girls laughed as they ran, and Butterfly Yehan brandished a wooden sword in pursuit. Running and running, the young man's wooden sword finally touched Princess Snow Star.
"Hah! You lose. With a triumphant shout from the boy, the princess pretended to be injured and fell to the ground dramatically.
Die Yehan leaned down and looked at the princess intently: "Is there anything between you and the sixth prince?" ”
Princess Snow Star was amused by his little adult's question.
"Don't laugh! The way he looks at you...... You are also ...... to him Isn't it? ”
"Hey, why do you say something that doesn't ...... like you?!"
It was too late, too soon, and he kissed her on the cheek.
The princess looked at Butterfly Yehan in surprise, and a flush appeared on her face.
Die Yehan took a deep breath and said slowly, "...... Loved you......"
The princess blinked in disbelief, unable to hide the panic in her heart, thinking that it was just an illusion.
The boy in front of him, squinting his eyes, with pure tenderness in his eyes, showed a shy smile, it was so simple.
"Don't worry, even if there is anything between you and the Sixth Prince, it doesn't matter." He pouted, his eyes showing emotion, and it was gone in an instant.
Princess Xuexing breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that Butterfly Yehan was just joking, and felt relieved.
"Because, you are destined to be my man." His smile retracted, replaced by his usual calmness, and there was a hint of loneliness in his calm eyes. Such a solemn and indistinguishable tone, with a seriousness beyond age.
She saw her look of surprise in his determined dark brown eyes.
He saw her own figure reflected in her pale purple eyes.
The intoxicating, radiant lilac reminded him of the blossoms blooming in the wind, with the sting, purity and shyness of first love.
Dreamy snowflakes, moist and icy, fall on the face, but bring a real sense of coldness.
His stern, controlling gaze made it feel like it was hard for her to breathe.
Princess Snow Star silently said in her heart: This boy is serious about her.
"Ahh Why is His Highness lying on the ground? Suddenly, a woman came in a hurry.
"Nurse Niang," Princess Xuexing quickly stood up when she saw that it was Nurse Niang Luqiu's clan coming, "I was 'killed'......"
"Alas! What a bad luck! The Holy One taboos these! Your Highness, you must not have anything to do with this kind of thing! Lu Qiu said in a reprimanding tone, "It's freezing outside, if Your Highness's golden body is cold, it is the slave who will be questioned." Your Highness, let's go into the house and play. ”
Without waiting for the children to answer, Lu Qiu grabbed the little hands of His Royal Highness and Die Yehan and walked towards the palace.
The butterfly night is cold, unpredictable cold, and obviously extremely tenacious, but what happened to the fleeting touch of tenderness just now?
Princess Snow Star looked at the gray sky, and the snow fell.
Her thoughts were as chaotic as snowflakes dancing in the wind.
In her delicate and small heart, the cold and arrogant Butterfly Yehan was willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of the two girls.
Butterfly Yehan's humility and warmth are only given to Princess Snow Star and Butterfly Flower.
She didn't want to believe it, and she didn't want to believe it, because the Butterfly Yehan she knew was a lonely and indifferent person. However, her can't explain his warm eyes.
"It's a girl playing house again." Butterfly Yehan pursed her lips and turned her eyes to look at Princess Snow Star.
"Are you still my bride?" Every time, he asks that.
"Okay." Each time, Princess Snow Star replied like this.
Although Princess Snow Star is only eleven years old, she is a very mature child. As the emperor's favorite and only daughter, she is not pampered and arrogant, but tolerant, kind, generous, and upright. At a young age, he was already slim, heroic, and had a dignified and impeccable temperament.
"Yo, Your Highness is here." A female voice suddenly sounded at the door.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and it turned out to be Pan Huanglan.
Pan Huanglan, the mistress of the fifth prince who has not passed through the door. Although she is pampered, this does not prevent the fifth prince from doting on her. The five princes spend all day drinking, have no intention of government, only care about wine and beauties, and do not want to get married, Pan Huanglan, who is favored by him, is called "Mrs. Huanglan".
"The young master and young lady of the Butterfly family," Pan Huanglan spat out sourly, with disdain in her eyes, "Her Royal Highness the princess is so delicate, how can she play with these poor and sour children?" ”
"Your Highness is good." The next person who walked into the house was Pan Huanglan's sister and the side room of the eighth prince - "Mrs. Bailan" Pan Bailan.
After the death of the eighth prince's beloved wife, the supple Pan Bailan made the eighth prince completely fall. If anyone can take advantage of the greed of the eighth prince, it is only this concubine who often pretends to be coquettish. Although she is not as arrogant and domineering as her sister, her mean aura lingers.
For this Lady Bailan, Princess Snow Star has already understood.
Princess Snow Star lost her mother at birth, and although she was deeply loved by her father, she was an extremely sensitive child. Pan Bailan was close to her in every possible way, and behaved like a good wife and mother in front of her, but it made people feel that something was wrong. Princess Xuexing thinks that Pan Bailan has a cautious resentment from the inside out, and some casual small actions and salty words reflect her inner dissatisfaction.
But what exactly is she dissatisfied with?
Princess Snow Star didn't care what she thought.
"The children of the Butterfly family should hurry up and go to the palace maids to play." Pan Huanglan showed a cruel smile, and her eyes revealed viciousness and pride.
When Die Yehan heard this, his face was suddenly ugly.
"Huang Lan, how do you speak?" Pan Bailan showed that sweet greasy, "You are so annoying! Your Highness can play with whomever you want. ”
Princess Xuexing thought to herself, this Pan sister's insidious tricks were as normal as breathing, and they were so pretentious that they had deceived many idiots.
Her Snow Star Princess may be innocent, but she is not an idiot.
"I think the master is worried about His Highness, don't mix with people who don't mess around." Lady Bailan's maid, Si Jie, suddenly walked into the house.
Butterfly Night's cold eyes seemed to erupt with fire, and his hand touched the hilt of the sword. Princess Snow Star knew that it was his reaction when he was threatened.
"Hehe, Si Jie is really funny! I'm worried about the princess, and I want to protect my chastity. Pan Huanglan laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, and there was sarcasm in her eyes.
"Your Highness has her own choice." The nurse Lu Qiu frowned, blocking in front of Princess Snow Star. Although the Luqiu clan does not understand etiquette, they are naked to the princess.
"What are you?" Pan Huanglan, who has always been spicy, was splashed with cold water by Lu Qiu's family, and even spoke ill of each other, "Just an old slave, don't be embarrassed there!" ”
Lu Qiu just wanted to say something, but when he saw Si Jie's back, he just spit out: "Sixth Master, ......"
Pan Huanglan suddenly froze, her face was frightened, and she turned around nervously. These six masters are not the fifth or ninth masters, and they can't be dealt with in just a few words.
"Si Jie, please say hello to the sixth master." Si Jie saluted hastily, looking innocent.
The sixth prince didn't hear it, with a faint smile on his face, he walked into the room and was silent. He swept his subtle gaze over everyone in the room, his eyes resting on Princess Snow Star's small hand that was tightly grasped by Butterfly Night.
Inside the room, there was a solemn atmosphere of suspense.
Suddenly, Si Jie burst into tears, trembling, pitiful, and helpless: "It's all the slave's fault!" The slave is stupid, the slave is sorry Miss, I'm sorry Your Highness, I'm sorry for the sixth master! ”
"What a tearful man!" Die Yehan had long been tired of Si Jie's pretending to cry face, and looked at Pan Bailan with extremely cold eyes, as if she could see through people's hearts. "Indeed, there is a master, and there must be a slave."
Pan Bailan was not embarrassed, and sneered at herself: "Si Jie, you are a fool, since you are not a nobleman, you don't know how to stop a certain young man and stop him from bewitching our noble princess!" ”
"Mrs. Bailan, Mrs. Huanglan, Si Jie, you all step aside!" Princess Snow Star's majestic voice, like a high king, did not resemble a girl who was only eleven years old at all.
Pan Bailan and Pan Huanglan exchanged a look, as if to say: With such a little girl, can you also point us out?
Mrs. Huang Lan wanted to speak and stopped, because Pan Bailan gave her a warning look, so Pan Huanglan didn't scold anymore and didn't make trouble anymore. I saw that the corners of Pan Bailan's mouth twitched unnaturally, and then she turned around and brushed her sleeves away. Pan Huanglan also dragged her steps and walked out slowly. Si Jie followed behind, like a lost dog.
The sixth prince saw all this in his eyes, and thought to himself that this little princess was so strong, it was amazing.
However, he thought about it: as a royal family, this is probably a last resort.
He smiled bitterly in his heart: There are too many things in the royal family, and he can't help himself, but he knows it deeply.
"Your Highness, well done." He smiled indifferently and patted Princess Snow Star on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.
Princess Snow Star's hand had been stiffened by Butterfly Night's hand, but he still didn't have the slightest intention of letting go.
