The news that the new king was going to attend a banquet hosted by Princess Tanasha flew into the nobles' homes like wings, and countless nobles and their ladies began to dress up and prepare to make a splash at the banquet.

In an ordinary count's family, Senderella's stepmother and sisters thought the same way.

"Cinderella, wipe my shoes clean, and iron my dress!"

"Cinderella, come and tie my hair and girdle, Senderella! The dance will start at nine o'clock, if you can't make it. Woe to you! ”

Cinderella's stepmother and sisters kept calling out to them, and while Cinderella was busy taking care of everything for them, she wondered how the king looked, whether the ball was fun, and what the others were wearing.

She also wanted to wear gorgeous clothes and a shining orb to radiate her own light at the ball.

Picking up a single round and large bean into the plate, and eating the rest, the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't help it, and began to plead with her stepmother, "Mom, can you take me with you to the princess's ball, I also want to see what the king looks like, isn't it handsome." ”

"You want to go?"

Cinderella's stepmother stopped moving, "You said you wanted to go?" ”

As soon as Cinderella's stepmother finished speaking, her two sisters cried out,

"Cinderella, you want to go? Do you have a dress? Do you have jewelry? Without these, how would you go to a banquet? ”

"Xendola, you are not allowed to go, you are so ugly, you will only lose our face if you go, what will everyone do when they laugh at us? You are not allowed to go, do you hear? ”

"But ......." Cinderella was a little reluctant, "Mother and sister, just give me back my dress and jewelry." ”

Senderella was originally the daughter of the count, and before her mother died, she lived like a princess, with a lot of jewels and fancy clothes, but since her mother's death, the count married a stepmother, and her life has changed, not only cleaning the room every day, but also enduring the harsh criticism of her stepmother and two sisters, and even the jewelry and dresses have been taken away by her stepmother and two sisters.

As for her father, the Earl, he didn't care about any of that.

Cinderella's words immediately angered her stepmother, who screamed, "What do you mean to just give you back your dress and jewelry?" Do I covet your dress and jewelry? I'm just keeping it for you. ”

"If outsiders hear this kind of thing, they don't know how to say that I am abusing you."

"But ......."

Cinderella was just about to speak when her stepmother interrupted, "You can go if you want, as long as you check out the beans I spilled at noon from the kitchen scraps one by one, how about I promise to take you there?" ”

"By the way, it's only two hours, because we're going to leave in two hours."

"It's ......."

"Okay, so be it." Cinderella's stepmother interrupted Cinderella again, and then drove the people away, "Go down, we're going to get dressed up, don't get in the way here, I see upset." ”

"I ......."

Senderella was about to speak, but her stepmother glared at her and closed her mouth and headed for the kitchen, where the more she thought about it, the more helpless she became, for in two hours she could not have picked the beans out of the kitchen dust.

"Mom didn't plan to take me to the princess's banquet at all...... Handsome king, beautiful clothes ....... She looked out and saw the birds freely looking for food, and was a little envious, "If only I had been as free as these birds, I would have flown to the princess's banquet to see what clothes and jewels they were wearing." ”

Inadvertently, she saw a little bird peck the rice grain on the ground and put it in her mouth, and she was immediately stunned, "These little birds...... If only these birds could help me. ”

Hope burned in Cinderella's heart, and she shouted to the bird outside the window, "O bird, bird under the blue sky, come and help me pick up these beans!" ”

As soon as the words were spoken, many birds flew into the kitchen from all directions, and one by one they vibrated their small and lovely necks and began to pick the beans, and they picked not a single round and large bean into the plate, and ate the rest into their stomachs...... In less than an hour, all the beans were picked into plates, and the birds flapped their wings and flew out of the windows.

Senderella looked at the beans on the plate and was very happy, "Great, with these beans, I can attend the banquet hosted by the princess." ”

She immediately ran back, found her stepmother who was dressing up, and held the plate high, "Mom, I picked the beans." ”

"It can't be." Xendurella glanced at the plate, and Huo stood up, "How could you have picked the beans in such a short time, you must have bought the beans and put them on the plate." ”

"Centurella, you have disappointed me so much that you have been so dishonest in order to go to the princess's banquet, and I will tell your father what you have done when he returns."

"No, I really didn't buy beans, I don't believe you go to the kitchen ......."

"I don't look at it, I don't look at it whether you buy beans or not." Cinderella's stepmother sneered, "Because I have changed my mind, I will not take you to the princess's ball, because you don't have beautiful clothes, you don't have gorgeous jewelry, and you don't look good, and going to that kind of occasion will only cause us to be ridiculed by other nobles and disgrace our family." ”

After saying that, without waiting for Cinderella to speak, Cinderella's stepmother walked past her with her two older sisters, and her eldest sister laughed, "Cinderella, you are just a Cinderella, don't think about climbing into the king's bed and becoming the king's mistress, you are not qualified to do so." ”

Her second sister also laughed, "You have no dress, no jewelry, no carriage, no servants, what are you going to the princess's banquet?" With your filthy servant's clothes? Funny! ”

Cinderella looked at her stepmother and sister, who were gradually gone, and ran to her aunt's house, crying, "Auntie, my mother won't let me attend the princess's banquet. ”

Cinderella's aunt frowned, "Why?" ”

"Because they said I had no beautiful clothes, no beautiful jewelry, no carriages and no servants, and that I had disgraced them, they wouldn't let me go."

"Come, Xanderella, I'll show you something."

Cinderella's aunt clapped her hands and summoned the servant in, to whom she whispered a few words, but in a moment a carriage was pulled by the servant.

The carriage is made of gold, the body is carved with various delicate patterns, and the seats and windows inside the carriage are made of crimson velvet. Four horses with shiny coats pulled the cart.

"In addition to the carriage and the clothes and jewels, I offer you to go to the princess's banquet, but you must remember that you must return before the bell strikes twelve o'clock at midnight."

"Why?"

"Your mother wants to be pure until you get married; So in any case, you have to come back before the clock strikes 12 o'clock at midnight. ”

"I see."
