Chapter 53: Cinderella
As soon as nightfall, the castle where the royal family of the Kingdom of Jordan settled was lit up, the lamp wall was brilliant, this ancient castle held an unknown number of banquets in the past, but this time, it was not the royal family of the Kingdom of Jordan who held a banquet in this castle, but Li Chao, the new king.
As far as the eye can see, the castle is lit up as if it were daytime, and a series of horse-drawn carriages with gorgeous appearances and noble interiors are parked not far from the castle, and the ladies dressed in fancy clothes carry the graceful male nobles out of the carriages and sway into the castle.
As they moved in, the castle gradually became lively, with well-dressed male aristocrats talking to each other with false smiles, and ladies inadvertently showing off their magnificence.
"Isn't this from Count Cinderella's house?" A wine glass was grabbed by a jade hand, and the owner of the jade hand was wearing a white dress full of sapphires, and his face less than twenty years old was full of youthful atmosphere, "But why are you only here?" What about the other one? ”
"It turned out to be the honorable Duchess of Bartley." Senderella's stepmother had a smile on her face. "Cinderella is sick, so she can't come."
"Cinderella is sick? That's terrible," said Duchess Bartley, smiling with concern, "isn't she all right?" Have you seen a doctor? ”
"Thank you, Mrs. Wilson, for your concern, Cinderella is just a minor illness."
"It's good if you're sick...... Minor illnesses are good ....... ”
The conversation between the two is like a conversation between deep acquaintances, but in fact, the two have never been friends at all before, and they have not even communicated.
That's the magic of a banquet.
People of the same class and different ranks gathered here, all of them laughed and said some hypocritical things politely, and some people who were usually difficult to see could be easily seen at the banquet.
When Li Chao stepped into the hall where the banquet was held, everyone stopped talking, and Li Chao's white figure invariably appeared in their eyes.
"Is this the king? So young. In her sight, Li Chao's figure was guarded by great power, glory and money into a handsome and chic appearance, and the lover's eyes were full of Xi Shi, and similarly, in the eyes of Cinderella's eldest sister, Li Chao, the king, was the most dazzling existence in the entire banquet, "If only he could marry me." ”
"Although he is so ordinary at first glance, but if you look closely, you can find his demeanor, his handsomeness, and his chic, I love him so much." Cinderella's second sister clasped her hands in front of her chest, looking a little stupid, "Only I can discover his connotation, and only I can become His Majesty's pillow person." ”
"You?"
The eldest sister of Cinderella raised her eyebrows and laughed, "It's up to you?" Want to be His Majesty's pillow too? You don't look at your breasts, they are shriveled. ”
Cinderella puffed her chest, "That's what His Majesty loves." ”
"It's a big breast." Cinderella's second sister stroked her hair, and a fragrance of vanilla came to her nose, "I have flowing blonde hair, and even my father praises my hair for being like silk from the Far East, the most beautiful hair in the world, what do you compare to me?" ”
"You ......."
"Alright, alright." Cinderella's stepmother interrupted the two daughters, "You two are mother's treasures, and I am happy that either one becomes the queen of His Majesty. ”
"It must be me." Senderella's eldest sister held her chest straight.
"It's me." Cinderella's second sister ruffled her hair.
But at this moment, a carriage made of gold drove through the brightly lit streets, and arrived at the castle, and under the watchful eye of the guards guarding the door, Cinderella walked in a full white gown, without much ornamentation on her body, except for a pearl necklace hanging from her chest, but such a simple decoration showed infinite grace and mysterious charm.
"Who is this?"
Cinderella's eldest sister stared at Cinderella with wide eyes, "She gives me a very familiar feeling, but who is she?" ”
Cinderella? Impossible, Senderella's eldest sister shook her head, "It can't be Senderella, Senderella is not so beautiful." ”
In her impression, Cinderella was a person who wore old clothes and always had a face plastered with ash, where was as radiant as the woman in front of her.
"This must not be Cinderella...... I must have misremembered. ”
"Sister, this woman seems to be Cinderella." Cinderella's second sister turned her head to the side, and she also felt that the woman who suddenly appeared looked like Cinderella, but she was also unsure.
"It can't be Senderella." Cinderella's eldest sister shook her head, "You see how beautiful her dress is, with the delicate embroidery, the elegant swing skirt, and the curves of the dress that night...... At first glance, you can tell that it is handmade by a famous artist, do you think Cinderella has this kind of dress? ”
Sendurella's second sister thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "No." ”
Maybe Senderella had it in the past, but it certainly doesn't have it now, because Senderella's dresses and jewels have been scraped by them, and as for hiding them, it is impossible, and they are still very confident in their scratching skills.
"She's supposed to be some kind of princess." Senderella's eldest sister guessed, "Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a gorgeous dress." ”
Li Chao glanced at Cinderella, he had a very subtle feeling, he always felt that this scene seemed to have a sense of déjà vu, but he couldn't remember where it was déjà vu.
If he couldn't think of it, he would ask, Li Chao lifted his feet and walked towards Xandura, "This beautiful lady, can I ask your name?" ”
"I'm sorry, I have to keep this issue a secret, please forgive me for being rude."
Secrecy? interesting
Li Chao was stunned for a moment, and then became interested, a wonderful girl suddenly appeared at the banquet, and when he approached, he found that this girl was not only wonderful but also mysterious, and a subtle feeling gradually surfaced in his heart, "This beautiful lady, do you have anything unspeakable?" ”
"No...... No. Xanderella waved her hand hurriedly, "I just can't say my name very easily. ”
"Inconvenient?"
"Yes, not really." Cinderella was a little uneasy, she was afraid that Li Chao would continue to ask, so that she didn't know how to answer, but she soon found that her thoughts were superfluous, because Li Chao didn't continue to ask her name at all, but left her and walked towards the other nobles.
Xendurella felt relieved, but a little unwilling, "This King is so sharp, but why doesn't he want to look at me, am I not beautiful enough?" ”
Cinderella felt a little sorry for herself, but she soon put this thought behind her, and began to talk to the other noblewomen, and when the clock struck midnight, Cinderella remembered her aunt's words and ran out with her skirt in hand.
