Chapter 385: The Bard Tells the Story 2

"The stepmother's own daughter has become an ugly bastard who spits toads when she speaks, while Sophie is getting more and more beautiful, spitting gold coins whenever she speaks."

"It almost Sophie's stepmother. After she couldn't find the three Dwarves of Destiny, she took her anger out on poor Sophie. ”

"Finally, one day, the stepmother took out a pot, set it on the fire, and boiled the dough in it."

"After the dough is cooked, it has become a mess! She fished it out and put it on the girl's shoulder, and then gave her an axe and told her to go to the frozen river, cut a hole in the ice, and rinse the thread in the hole. ”

It was an impossible task, but poor Sophie had no choice but to obediently go to the river and go to the middle of the river to cut the ice. The temperature that day was just like the temperature outside now, and you can imagine how hard it was for poor Sophie! The bard spoke to the people in the tavern with pity, the cold wind blowing desperately outside, and the small stove in the tavern was thriving.

After a pause, the bard continued to say with a blank expression, "The strings of fate have been plucked, and in such cold weather, the king of the Duchy of Saxony, instead of staying in his strong and warm castle to keep warm, suddenly became interested, riding in a magnificent carriage and watching the snow. ”

"The King and Sophie have met!" A hint of obscurity suddenly flashed in the depths of the bard's eyes, "The beautiful Sophie immediately attracted the attention of the king, and the king deeply sympathized with the plight of poor Sophie, and love took root in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask Sophie, would you like to go with him?" ”

"Maybe it's the power of love, maybe it's the operation of fate, Sophie also fell in love with the king after seeing him for the first time. She did not hesitate to accede to the king's request. ”

The king took Sophie back to his castle, his palace, and it was then that Sophie realized that she had met a king.

"They had a grand wedding in the royal palace, and her beauty impressed all the nobles and ladies present, and the whole Duchy of Saxony praised the beauty of Queen Sufi, and her fame even spread abroad."

However, Sophie's stepmother, who had thought she was dead, also learned about her. She wanted to meet Sophie, but Sophie refused without hesitation, which made the already jealous stepmother feel even more angry, and looking at her daughter who was too ugly to attach, she vowed to make Sophie pay the price and transfer her happiness to her daughter. ”

"She's like a poisonous snake in the dark, always waiting for an opportunity, always looking for an opportunity!"

"A year later, the young queen gave birth to a prince, and at this time, Sophie's stepmother finally found an excuse to visit her grandson, but Sophie could not refuse, so she could only let them come to the palace and get the opportunity to meet alone."

Originally, Sophie thought that her stepmother would ask her too much for help, and Sophie had already thought of a reason for refusal. But unexpectedly, her stepmother was more greedy and stupid than she imagined, and she actually wanted to take everything from Sophie. ”

"She grabbed Sophie's head, and her daughter grabbed Sophie's feet, lifted her off the bed, threw her out of the window, and threw her on the river outside the castle."

"That river, deep and unfathomable, the current is so strong that as soon as Sophie is thrown down, she doesn't know where it has been washed away!"

So the stepmother's daughter played Sophie in a grand manner. The stepmother's daughter was lying on the bed, covered all over. ”

"When the king came and wanted to speak to the queen, the stepmother, who was standing next to her, cried out loudly, "Shhhhhh

"What a fool this king is! Such a simple trick was not recognized. The bard commented mockingly.

The tavern has become very quiet, there is little spiritual entertainment in this world, gossip is a rare source of happiness, especially the gossip of the nobles, even more so, not to mention that this is still a king's gossip, which is full of many elements of Shuangwen, and the idlers and wine girls in the tavern naturally listen to it with relish!

The king went away honestly, and did not come until the next morning, and the stepmother's daughter, though she did not face the king head-on, pretended to be hoarse, and began to answer the king's words.

"It's just that the voice is good, but the curse that the dwarf of fate has placed on him will not change. As soon as the stepmother's daughter spoke, a toad jumped out and startled the king. ”

Sophie's stepmother quickly explained that it was sweat and would be fine soon!

"The king was skeptical, but he didn't say anything after all!"

As soon as the bard spoke, someone couldn't help but speak.

The whole tavern suddenly became noisy.

"This king is the stupidest one I've ever seen!"

"Yes, I can't see such an obvious flaw, if it were me, I would definitely not be like this, I will see through this vicious old daughter's plan on the spot, no, I won't even let them meet."

"If you were king, oh my God, you drank yourself like a monkey every day, and you would only do worse than him!"

"Duke, are you trying to fight?"

"Hehehe, I'm just telling a fact!"

"You ......"

"Alright, stop arguing! We're going to get out of the fight, and we're going to continue to listen to the story, what's going on with the queen? She wouldn't die like this, would she? ”

"Dead?" The bard was silent for a moment, then smiled calmly, shook his head, and said meaningfully, "How could she die so easily that she had been blessed by the dwarves of fate?" ”

"On the night of the king's departure, a duck swam out of the sewers. A little helper in the palace saw this, and before the little helper could make a move, the duck actually spoke, and his voice was pleasant. ”

"It said, King, what are you doing? Are you asleep or awake? ”

The little helper was stunned and didn't answer for a while!

Then the duck asked, "What are the two of the queen's guests doing?"

The little helper hesitated for a moment, and then replied that they were asleep.

Then the duck asked, "What is the queen's baby doing?"

The little helper replied that he had fallen asleep in the cradle.

The duck glanced gratefully at the little helper, and then went into the queen's room, and when she got to her room, it had taken on the form of a queen, and she nursed her child, and shook his little cot, and covered him with a quilt, and went down the sewer again as a duck.

And so she came for two nights. On the third night, she said to the little helper, "Go and tell the king, that he should take his sword, stand on the threshold, and wave it three times on my head." ”

The little helper immediately did so, and the king did as the queen said, and the queen changed from a duck to her original form.

"At this time, from the mouth of the queen, the king finally knew the ins and outs of the matter."

"The king took the queen's stepmother and sister and put them in a barrel full of nails, rolled them down the hillside into the river, and drowned!"

"From then on, the king and queen lived happily ever after!"

"Everyone, this is the end of the story! I'm glad that my story can make everyone feel a little bit of joy! I also hope that the story I bring next time will be more exciting! ”

With that, the bard bowed slightly to the crowd, then gathered up his things and left the tavern in style.
