The weather is clear, and at noon in winter, since the sun is not warm, don't dazzle anymore, otherwise you will disappoint the human mood of appreciating the snow. It was the day after the heavy snowfall, and it was covered in a gentle white, and the thin clouds diluted the sunlight just right, so that even if you look up at the sun, you can admire the orange-red star.

The prince, dressed in military uniform, rode a horse, followed by a small group of men and horses, and appeared at the entrance of Guibi Village. The group was full of vigor and spirit, and they all looked to be sixteen to forty years old. And the prince at the head looks even more extraordinary, although he wears a helmet, he can see that his facial features are handsome, his eyes are bright, and his age looks like he is about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Robles, as the richest man in Gebi Village and the owner of Gebi Manor, has long been waiting at the entrance of the village. She and Gotland on the side both raised their hands in greeting and bowed: "See His Royal Highness the Prince, my lords." ”

Behind them knelt the other servants of the Rosewood Village, who did not even dare to raise their heads to look at the general outline of this prince.

"This is Gemie Village, it is as beautiful as a paradise as rumored, and the air is fresh." The prince smiled slightly, full of praise, and his voice was like a crisp lark.

Robles was timid in her heart, but she pretended to be unhurried and replied: "Your Royal Highness, although our place is small, it is rich in food, and there are endless delicacies and beautiful scenery. There will also be beautiful women, who will meet you soon. With that, she lifted the hem of her skirt and squatted down, then looked up and looked at the prince with a smile.

The prince looked at Robles's face carefully and asked curiously, "Madame, how old are you?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the woman is twenty-six years old."

"Twenty-six years old, but you only look eighteen years old, it seems that the consequences of Rosewood Village are raised, there must be a lot of beautiful women."

Robles's eyes flickered: "Actually, that's not the case, Your Highness the Prince. The reason why the folk women look young and beautiful is just an example, there is another one who looks like a fairy, and even more beautiful than the folk women. As for the other women, they are unsatisfactory or even mediocre. ”

"Oh? Will there be a more beautiful woman than Madame? The prince smiled, with a hint of innocence in his tone, "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." ”

"Of course, in the people's woman's house, there will soon be a fairy-like beauty, and His Royal Highness will definitely fall for it."

The prince's blue eyes showed childlike anticipation: "I hope that as you said, you know, my father also hopes that I will find the princess soon and complete the great things of my life." It would be great if I could find someone I like in Gebi Village. After all, I've been touring the mountains and rivers for so long, and Gebi Village is the last stop. ”

A man in his forties next to the prince said: "Prince, there are so many beautiful women along the way, you don't have any of them, are you sure you can find the person you like in this small village?" ”

"I can't be sure, but I have to try, or my father will really want me to marry a princess from a neighboring country."

The man next to him spoke again: "Your Highness, the reason why Your Majesty agreed to let you come out is to let you know that true love is not so easy to find, so it is better to cultivate a good relationship with the princess of the neighboring country......"

"Enough! Grand Duke! The prince interrupted, "Stop these pedantic ideas, and let us follow Madame to the place where we live." ”

The Grand Duke obediently shut his mouth.

The prince looked at Robles again, "Madam, there are sixteen of us, is there enough room?" ”

"Enough, enough!" "There are seven rooms on the second floor and eight rooms on the third floor. The fourth and fifth floors are too high, I'm afraid you will have trouble going up and down. ”

"But there's still one room left, and you only have fifteen."

The general next to him explained: "Your Royal Highness, it's enough, it's really enough, you just need to live in it with peace of mind." As he spoke, he threw a wink at Roberts, who smiled sheepishly and tossed one back.

Gotland's eyes widened in shock, and Robles saw Gotland's eyes in the afterglow, and hurriedly tugged at his sleeve secretly, and his lips did not move to make a sound: "You calm down, don't make a sound." ”

The general rode up to Gotland and sneered: "Young man, what are you afraid of? ”

Roberts smiled awkwardly.

The prince looked at them in confusion, and did not bother to think about it, and said loudly: "Madam, take us to the room, I am tired." ”

Gottland saw that there was an affair between Robles and the general, and he was very worried that his beloved woman would change his mind, and he gave up everything for Robles, and once she changed his mind, he had nothing. Out of extreme fear in his heart, he said to the general unconvinced: "Do you think you are amazing, my relationship with my wife is much deeper than yours. You're just meeting her a few hours ago to explore the path. ”

The general sneered: "What if we have known each other for a short time, that kind of love at first sight is much better than the fawning like you pug." ”

With that, he followed the group, leaving Gotland alone to worry.

Midday, when her stomach is most vulnerable, Rayla is on the other side of the village, watching Zhenzhen get married. With no dowry, no bridal dress, and no church, Zhenzhen was forcibly escorted by two maids to her husband's house, the poorest shoemaker in the village.

This shoemaker is not the person Zhenzhen has always loved, nor is he a nobleman, he is not a rich man, and his husband's family only has a dilapidated thatched house, a rotten iron pot, and a rotten wooden bed. The whole thatched hut smelled of rancidity, as if it was covered in old dust.

When Zhenzhen was escorted over, she didn't resist, and after so many years of oppression, she no longer knew how to resist. Passing by her sweetheart's house, her sweetheart didn't even want to look at her again, as if he had never met her. She also knew in her heart that her sweetheart had never liked her, and he only liked his family background at the beginning, but now he was bullied by his stepmother, and they were strangers.

Rayla saw the shoemaker smile and greet him, rubbing his rough hands on either side of his torn trousers, and lifting the snow on the ground, the uppers of which were covered with mud and snow. Rayla looked at him nervously overwhelmed and thought to herself, he must not want Zhenzhen to see his dirty, torn shoes.

After walking in, he found that his face seemed to have not been washed for more than ten days, hehe smiled, stretched out his dirty hand, and pulled the fateful Zhenzhen into the room.

Rayla followed, and the moment the shoemaker's door closed, she cried and collapsed to the ground.

"Zhenzhen, why did you close the door, come out." The voice was so miserable that the two maids who were usually cold to her couldn't help but feel pity.

These two maids have been serving them both for a long time, and Zhenzhen has been working at Rosewood Manor since she was born, so she is not completely unemotional for these two girls.

They looked at each other, sighed, and patted Rayla on the shoulder: "This is your sister's life, who made her treat Madame so badly at the beginning, and now the evil consequences can only be swallowed by herself." Next, as long as you are well-behaved, Madame will definitely find you a better family, it will not be rich, but it will not be like this. ”

Rayla didn't have any expression on her face, still staring blankly at the door of the shoemaker's house: "For the sake of my dead father, you will be accommodating to me today, let me be willful, I will not be able to do anything out of the ordinary anyway." Go back first. ”

The leading maid sighed: "Okay, anyway, we are busy entertaining His Royal Highness the Prince today, and you can't appear in this dress, so it's better to take a stroll outside and see the scenery or something." ”

After the maids left, Rayla cried and banged on the door, "Sister, sister, can you hear me?" ”

There was no response, and there was no crying. Rayla could think of the pain in Zhenzhen's heart, and she also squatted on the ground sadly, crying silently.

"My sister resigned herself to her fate, because she couldn't make her own choices according to her own wishes. So what should I do, what will my fate be in the future, and will I also be appointed? She cried intermittently, clasping her knees with her hands, her nose almost frozen by the cold wind.

In fact, she had already guessed that her father's death was related to Robles, and later she and Zhenzhen were abused, which made the fear in her heart deeper.

She wept helplessly in the snow and ice.

At this moment, a young man with blue eyes in a military uniform walked over, and this person was none other than His Royal Highness the Prince. He looked at the weak woman squatting on the ground, and couldn't help but wonder: "Who are you?" Why is it dressed like this, you see, the cotton wool in the padded jacket has come out, the skirt is torn, and the socks have so many holes, as if they are not worn. ”

Rayla looked up at this noble and beautiful man, and felt ridiculed in her heart, and she was even more saddened, and she cried more fiercely: "I, I used to have good clothes to wear. ”

The prince looked at the little girl with a handful of snot and tears, and although he couldn't see her face clearly, her vulnerable and weak appearance aroused his pity. His voice was as gentle as guacamole, and he asked softly, "Lovely girl, what happened to you, and why are you so sad?" ”

"I'm ......" Rayla just looked up, meeting the young man's eyes. She hadn't looked at the young man carefully because she was too excited just now, but now because of the gentle voice of the other party, she was curious, so she took a closer look.

What a beautiful boy, his skin is like clotted fat, his eyebrows are like sharp swords, especially those eyes, like the sapphires inlaid in the crown of the Sea King in ancient mythology, which are not only clear and transparent, but also sparkling, making people feel fluttering at a glance, and they can't come back to their senses for a long time.

The prince looked at Rayla's stunned and crimson face, and not only smiled, "You are the first person to look at me with such a foolish expression. Hahaha, look how stupid you are, why don't you wipe your face quickly~" As he spoke, he threw a handkerchief to Rayla.

Rayla took the handkerchief and found that it was a court handkerchief made of fine silk and gold and silver threads, and it still had a faint fragrance on it.

Rayla was shocked, and then looked at the noble dress of the man in front of her, and guessed that this man was His Royal Highness the Prince!

She looked at the pure and curious eyes of the prince, and couldn't help but think of a plan: If I can get the love of His Royal Highness, I can avenge me, my sister and my father! I don't have to be afraid of anything anymore.
