Three days, in a flash.

Delicate and beautiful dresses were sent to the estate.

Xia Lingge Shi Ran stood in front of the vertical mirror, the elegant and mysterious purple fishtail dress was light and fluttering on the ground, the broken diamonds synthesized of special materials were crystal bright, and the dresses were scattered and decorated, the gloves of black silk goose down, the small and full pearl necklace, the long black hair was half pulled and half scattered by the jeweled hair ornament, and finally a scarlet agate brooch like blood to set off her beauty.

Even if the maid knew that the 'Miss Lias' in front of her was notoriously vicious, she could not but be impressed by her appearance at this moment.

Xia Lingge pulled down the broken hair that fell to his ears, and walked out of the bedroom just to collide with Si Cheng who was walking opposite, his clothes were relatively simple, black, with some silver and white lines The dress had no extra decorations, he tied the slightly longer flaxen brown hair spontaneously with a simple black ribbon, no makeup, just deepened his eyebrows, if he only stood and didn't speak, it really looked a little boyish.

Si Cheng was also looking at her: "Senior sister, it's very beautiful." ”

Xia Lingge blinked: "Senior sister? ”

Si Cheng heard what she implied, his cheeks were visibly red again, his eyes avoided her eyes, and he opened his mouth for a long time before muttering: "Sister, sister......"

"That's good."

Xia Lingge raised his hand and rubbed his face.

Madame Fross had been waiting for them outside the manor, and when she saw Lias and Verena approaching so beautifully and gracefully, her long slanted eyes showed a touch of satisfaction and pride, "My daughters, you are really dazzling today, and I am sure that the prince will stop for you." ”

"Thank you, Mother."

Xia Lingge and Si Cheng replied.

They were about to turn around and get into the carriage when the petite Cinderella suddenly appeared in front of them and stopped them, she clutched the hem of her skirt and looked straight at them: "Mother, mother, please allow me to walk with my sisters." ”

"Just you?"

Madame Furth opened the gilded black feather fan in her hand with a 'hmm-' and looked at her with grace and disdain: "Cinderella, I think I have made it very clear, that you are nothing more than a maid who lives by the stove, and that you are completely different from my precious daughters, and that the 'mother' and 'sister' of this voice are already in the presence of your late father, otherwise do you think you would still be in a stable manor with bread and pure water?" ”

Cinderella tightened her skirt even more: "But you also said that I am my father's daughter, and the announcement issued by the prince said that all girls in the city can participate, whether rich or poor, so whether I am a young lady or a maid, I have the right to participate in the ball." ”

"Please, Mother, let me go, I really want to see such a grand ...... Yes! ”

The silver handle of the fan slammed into her face. Seeing this, Xia Lingge and Si Cheng hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Fuss's arm left and right.

"Mother, you don't need to be angry with a maid."

"Yes, Mother. We...... Let's get into the carriage, it's not good to be delayed. ”

They embraced Mrs. Fuss's words of encouragement, for fear that she would be displeased with Cinder's attack again.

"My daughters are so kind." Madame Fuss, happy and pleased with their persuasion, did not avoid their hands, but turned her eyes coldly towards Cinderella and said again, "I say that you are stupid, it is simply an insult to the word, and the prince has ordered that all the girls in the city can participate, so can the girls of the whole city participate as they want?" ”

"There is no splendid dress, no fine jewelry, no proud looks, nothing but dust is left and nothing remains of dust, and what will such a person gain by participating in the ball except to add to the laughing stock of the nobles? Oh...... A ruined reputation. ”

Mrs. Futh turned her eyes back and smiled gently at Xia Lingge and Si Cheng: "Let's go, my children, there is no need to delay the rest of your life for such a trivial matter. ”

They helped Madame Furth into the carriage.

Xia Lingge patted Si Cheng's shoulder and walked back to Cinderella.

Cinderella hung her head, her bright blonde hair covered the sides of her face so that people couldn't see her clearly, and the light projected by the manor lengthened the shadow of her and Xia Lingge, Cinderella slowly raised her head, looked at her grievances, and called out with some deep meaning: "Big sister......"

"There's no need to call me that."

Xia Lingge looked at her: "I think you should know your mother's attitude better than anyone else, so there is no need to come to find anything uncomfortable, rather than asking for that little possibility, you might as well ...... Ask yourself. ”

Cinderella was still timid.

Xia Lingge didn't know if she had listened to the allusions, but Madame Fuss, who was sitting in the carriage, was already a little impatient, so she had to step into the carriage and drive into the royal court.

The crystal hanging lamps are bright, illuminating the floor and reflecting the reflection of people, delicate snacks, delicious wine, and gorgeous and elegant aristocratic girls are like beautiful butterflies as light shuttles and conversations.

The ball has not yet begun, and the prince has not yet arrived.

Everyone was eagerly and eagerly waiting.

Xia Lingge and Si Cheng deliberately found a remote location.

"Is Cinderella here?" She asked slowly as she held a porcelain plate of blueberry cake.

Si Cheng shook his head: "I just went out and looked around and didn't see Cinderella's shadow, maybe she hid when she saw me, but in the story, Cinderella only entered after the ball started, so be patient and wait." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince to ——!"

The sound of the waiter's chanting interrupted all conversation, and the ladies stopped what they were doing and looked up at the figures strolling down the spiral staircase.

Delicate crown, bright red cape.

The handsome prince walked down slowly with a gentle smile.

"His Royal Highness the Prince——!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince——!"

The ladies held their feather fans to cover their blushing faces, and a few bold girls stepped forward to talk, but they were all blocked by the prince's gentle but unfamiliar smile.

The girls didn't get any favors, and few dared to come forward again.

"Your Highness."

The attendant who followed him whispered, "According to the rules, you should invite a girl to dance so that you can start the ball." ”

The prince shook his head firmly: "My first dance will only invite my future princess. ”

The waiter still wanted to persuade but was blocked by the resolute eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, alas...... Sure enough, it's the unique temper of the hereditary royal family.

The prince's gaze shuttled between the nobles, and suddenly his eyes fell on a girl in a purple mermaid dress in the corner, the cold and elegant girl was like a mysterious moon, attracting people to approach but making people unbearable to blaspheme.

He had a good impression of Xia Lingge, but he was a little discouraged by the dress she was wearing, because ...... He doesn't really like purple.
