One of the best inns in the vicinity of the port, the entire top floor is covered,

Alice sat in front of the window, staring out at the sparkling sea.

Shen Mingjiao walked in with a dinner plate: "Mother, eat something." ”

Alice turned her head blankly: "You eat first!" I'm not hungry. ”

Shen Mingjiao sighed lightly, since the accident with An An, Alice Xu was out of self-blame, as if she had changed her personality, and often sat at the window and was distracted.

Over the years, she has studied with Wen Heng, and she has seen many cases, and she has also studied people's mental and psychological diseases quite deeply, she can see that Alice has a backlog of many things in her heart, An An's disappearance, the person who was originally in good spirits instantly seemed to be ten years older.

She pulled out a chair and sat down opposite, "I wrote back to His Royal Highness, saying that the two children went to the Great Moon Country, and if there is a floating light, they will be fine." ”

Alice didn't speak, just silently picked up her meal.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finished eating, Shen Mingjiao walked out of the side room, leaned her head on the corridor, and was stunned for a while.

An An is missing, and she, a mother, is more anxious than anyone else, but since Feng Lisheng has passed, she must stay in Daxia. In order to prevent the person who took An An from suddenly returning.

But now that she has confirmed that she is in the Great Moon Country, she doesn't want to wait like this any longer.

She cheered up and went to see Qingzhou Thorn Shi, since she was going to sea, it would definitely be safer to take the official ship.

When everything was done, it was almost dusk, and she went back to the inn, only to see Alice already waiting at the door, and the maid behind her was carrying the baggage.

The two glanced at each other, and Shen Mingjiao still said: "Mother, you are not in good health, it is better to stay in Qingzhou, I will meet His Highness in the past, and if there is news, let someone send you a message as soon as possible." ”

Alice waved her hand: "You don't know the place well, what if you encounter danger again?" Don't worry about my body, although I'm old, it's okay to live another twenty or thirty years. ”

Shen Mingjiao couldn't help but be amused by her tone: "Don't worry, you will definitely live a long life." ”

The next day, the group boarded the official ship, accompanied by Alice's personal guards and officers and soldiers from Daxia's side, and their safety was absolutely guaranteed.

The official ship set sail, and the others were fine, but within two days, Shen Mingjiao began to get seasick and almost vomited and couldn't eat.

Alice didn't have time to be in a daze, she peeled an orange and carefully shaved off the white silk to signal Shen Mingjiao to open her mouth, and said in disgust:

"I'm young, and I'm not as good as an old man like me."

Shen Mingjiao swallowed the orange, feeling a little more comfortable, she leaned on the soft pillow, and said weakly:

"I can't help it! Being physically weak is innate.

Speaking of which, I've never vomited so badly when I was in Huai'an'an! ”

It should be said that she was very comfortable throughout her pregnancy, and there were almost no too serious pregnancy reactions.

Thinking about it like this, I suddenly felt that her family An An was still very well-behaved.

The child was dangling in front of her all day, and she was annoyed and panicked. I can't see this suddenly, not to mention how uncomfortable it is!

Don't you just make some mistakes? How can a child not make mistakes,

"When An An is found, I must rely on her for everything, she can eat candy if she wants, and the little princess should be pampered and grow up......"

Although she looked strange and pitiful at this time, Alice still chose to tell the truth:

"Three days at most, and you won't think like that."

Shen Mingjiao didn't want to speak, but at this time, a huge wave came, the hull of the ship shook, Shen Mingjiao's stomach churned, and she bent down and vomited for a while.

Alice hurriedly stepped forward and patted her back gently, and Shen Mingjiao drank saliva and rinsed her mouth: "Hey! And that's two months away? Hopefully I'll be able to adapt soon! ”

Seasickness, no matter how powerful the doctor is, he can't do anything but try to overcome it slowly.

Alice didn't persuade her to turn around and go back, because she knew that even if the seasickness was uncomfortable, Shen Mingjiao would not go back.

"It's more comfortable to go out and blow the sea breeze,"

The two stood at the bow of the boat, and Ellie saw that her white face was really pitiful, and paused, and said a little uncomfortably:

"Don't you want to hear stories? Now I'm fine. ”

"Seriously?"

Shen Mingjiao's eyes lit up, and her dizzy forehead became much clearer.

As a woman, how can you refuse to gossip?

In front of gossip, what is seasickness?

She turned her head and ordered, "Sugar Candy, go and move two chairs." Sweet cake, you go get some peanuts and melon seeds. ”

After speaking, he stared at Alice with sparkling eyes.

The corners of Alice's mouth twitched, and she suddenly regretted her soft-hearted behavior.

Shen Mingjiao didn't give her this opportunity: "Anyway, the journey is boring, will you tell me about it, mother?" ”

The two maids moved the table, chairs, tea and snacks neatly,

Shen Mingjiao helped Alice sit down and poured him a cup of flower tea courteously.

Alice couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that she finally looked a little more energetic, took the tea and put it to her lips and sipped it lightly: "What do you want to hear?" ”

“… Uh, the mother concubine can say whatever she wants, I'm very curious about life in the Great Moon Country, so you can tell me about what happened when you were a child. ”

She actually wanted to know about Fuguang's biological father, mainly because she had heard Fuguang recall the past, which aroused her curiosity.

But she definitely can't ask directly! There is also a way for people to communicate with each other, in case Alice doesn't want to say it, how embarrassing the two are!

Alice shook her head amusedly, "But you just want to ask me if I'm okay with a few men?" You Han people just like to turn around when you talk.

You asked me about my childhood! ”

She put down the teacup and leaned back, her eyes glazed:

"In the words of your Han people, I was born with a lot of love.

I was born to my father's wife, although I have never met my biological mother, but I knew when I was a child that my father was very infatuated with my mother, and I have not remarried for so many years.

Of course, this does not affect him from adding younger siblings to me every year. ”

Shen Mingjiao: "......" I suspect you are being ironic!

Alice saw her expression, and she didn't have to guess what she was thinking.

"It's not what you think, we are different from the Great Xia royal family there. The concubine has no inheritance right, and even if there is no concubine, he will only choose people from the side branches. Of course, there are no loopholes to exploit. But my father really loves me.

The first ten years of life. I'm having a great time. Obviously, as the prince of a country, I need to learn a lot of things, but I can come by my own temperament, play if I want, and tear up books when I want to.

I'm fifteen or sixteen years old, and I should have been about the age to succeed in my studies, but I can't even read a word. The court complained, and the city of Lausanne knew that I was a straw bale princess. But I've been spoiled, I don't care at all, my father doesn't care, he still gets used to me even more, and he can't wait to pick stars for me! ”

Shen Mingjiao hesitated and asked, "Is this a killing?" ”

Alice shook her head, "I said that my father really loves me. ”

The tone of these words is obviously normal, but why doesn't Shen Mingjiao believe it?

"Not only my father, but also several important officials in the court, the servants in the castle, everyone almost unconditionally indulged me.

However, such good days only lasted eighteen years. Eighteen years later, the illusion of beauty has finally been shattered. ”

Even the smartest person is, who is unconditionally doted on by everyone, will be raised.

As a teenager, Alice was really stupid and impulsive, but she didn't realize it.

The first setback in life is probably the end of a problem with a crush,

This matter can be traced back to when she was a child, according to the rules of the royal family, in order to ensure the absolute safety of the prince,

After the prince is established, the king will conduct a secret selection, and from the tens of thousands of samurai in the country, select the strongest child in all aspects to be trained, and become the shadow of the prince.

The chosen Shadow must be absolutely loyal to his master, and if the owner is injured or killed, the Shadow will be punished equally, regardless of the cause.

In a word, the ability should be strong but there is no status. Of course, the people of the royal family also have their own ways of taming people.

Alice's shadow is called Berlin, she picked it herself, why did she pick the other party, Xu was too young at the time, and now I don't remember it much,

In her memory, no matter where she went, the moment she turned her head, she could catch a shadow.

Time has passed year by year, and the maids around her have changed one stubble after another, only this shadow has always been,

It seems to have become a part of her life, and she doesn't pay much attention to it every day, because she is used to it.

Until the age of fourteen or fifteen, when love first blossomed, children at this age were already rebellious, not to mention that Alice was spoiled by her father, because she was a little unsatisfactory, she secretly left her servants and went to explore the barren mountains outside the city alone.

Of course, those who were dumped do not naturally include Berlin,

Alice is a bold artist, but she climbed halfway up the mountain and almost fell down, and Berlin came to the rescue at a critical moment.

Alice didn't look at Berlin at a glance as it was written in the book, because in her opinion, Berlin was her shadow, and it was natural to save her.

Alice was hungry and cold, and the two took refuge in a cave, where Berlin lit a fire for her to eat. Alice leaned on the rock wall boredly, looking through the immodest picture book,

When describing how handsome the male protagonist looks and how strong he is, she looks at it with great interest and raises her head at will.

I happened to see it under the firelight. The young man sitting in the corner flipping through the food, his facial features are indescribably handsome, and it seems to be even better than what is described in the fragrant story.

She stared at the face for a long time before she noticed that Berlin was so good-looking? Looking down at the various wonderful descriptions in the script, she suddenly became interested.

Men and women of this age are at a time when they don't understand sexual affairs, and besides, the atmosphere of the Great Moon Country is open, and the master asked Berlin to come over, ordered the other party to close his eyes, and then directly raised his head and kissed it.

She was very involved in learning to describe the kiss in the book, but unfortunately the man she kissed was like an emotionless statue, and there was no reaction at all. She kissed for a while, and suddenly felt bored.

I thought it was just a small episode in life, but with such an episode, when I faced Berlin again, it was a little different.

No one can say when the heartbeat began, maybe it happened to be the age when he first fell in love, or maybe it was earlier.

But Alice, who was naïve and impulsive at the time, didn't notice it at all. She doesn't like to read, she eats, drinks and has fun, but she takes up a full set, gets together with a group of unmotivated rich girls, and often talks about love.

There are female girlfriends who have a special fun, there have been several men, and the female girlfriends saw her curious, and secretly took her to a special place in order to slap her.

But she looked at the men on the stage, but she was not interested in the slightest, because she had already seen the best.

She didn't have to look back to feel that Berlin was quietly following her in the shadows.

It was rare for her to have some complicated emotions in her heart, some happy, and some chagrin.

For the rest of the year, Alice goes into a series of ridiculous chases over Berlin, but the other party is like an emotionless piece of wood.

Of course, as a shadow, he will not resist anything Alice says, and no matter how much Alice asks of him, he will honestly do it.

It's just that Alice is not happy at all,

She is like a silly girl in love at this time, sometimes smirking, sometimes frowning,

In order to make Berlin nervous, she actually took the initiative to jump into the thorn bush and injure herself.

Berlin appeared quickly, and then looked at her so fixedly. Berlin finally stopped looking like a piece of wood, but when she met his gaze, she was inexplicably a little nervous.

The young man didn't say a word, and half-crouched down to help her clean her injured legs and feet, his movements cautious.

Obviously, his legs and feet hurt a lot, but when he looked down at his focused side face, all the pain seemed to turn into sweetness.

Is this what love feels like? It's wonderful, I want to sink forever!

However, after cleaning the wound on her leg, Berlin shook the sound and pulled over a large handful of thorns, aimed them at his own leg, and stabbed them in the same position as her wound, and instantly stained some blood on the thorns.

Berlin threw away the branches, and spoke with the same blank eyes: "According to the rules, if the master is injured, he should suffer the same as a shadow." ”

The pink bubbles in her heart were doused with a basin of cold water, and she stared blankly at Berlin's back as she retreated into the dark, feeling sullen and uncomfortable.
