??Chapter 512 Extra Princess and Shadow 22
?? An inn with the best location near the port, the entire top floor is covered,
??Alice sat in front of the window, staring at the sparkling sea outside the window in a daze.
??Shen Mingjiao came in with a plate: "Concubine Mu, let's eat something."
?? Alice turned her head blankly: "You eat first! I'm not hungry."
??Shen Mingjiao sighed softly. Ever since An'an's accident, Alice seemed to have changed her personality out of self-blame, and she often sat by the window in a daze.
Over the years, she has studied with Wen Heng and seen many cases. She has also studied deeply about human mental and psychological diseases. She can see that Alice has a lot of things backlogged in her heart. The disappearance of An An, originally People who are in good spirits instantly seem to be ten years older.
??She pulled out a chair and sat down on the opposite side. "Last time, His Royal Highness sent a letter, saying that the two children have gone to the Great Moon Kingdom. They will be fine with the light."
??Alice didn't speak, but silently picked up the rice bowl.
??The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finished their meal without taste, Shen Mingjiao left the wing room, leaned her head on the corridor, and stared blankly for a while.
??An An is missing, she is more anxious than anyone else as a mother, but since Feng Lisheng has passed, she must stay in Daxia. To prevent the person who took An'an from coming back suddenly.
?? But now that she has confirmed that she is in the Great Moon Kingdom, she doesn't want to wait like this any longer.
?? She cheered up and went to meet the governor of Qingzhou. Since she was going to go to sea, it must be safer to take an official ship.
?? When everything was done, it was almost dusk. She returned to the inn, but saw Alice was already waiting at the door, with the maid behind her carrying the package.
??The two looked at each other, Shen Mingjiao still said: "Concubine Mu, you are not in good health, why don't you stay in Qingzhou, I will meet up with His Highness in the past, if there is news, someone will send you a message as soon as possible."
??Alice waved her hand: "You are not familiar with the place of life, what if you are in danger again? Don't worry about my body. Although I am old, I can live for another twenty or thirty years."
??Shen Mingjiao couldn't help being amused by her tone: "Don't worry, you will live a long life."
??The next day, a group of people boarded the official ship, accompanied by Alice's personal guards and Da Xia's officers and soldiers, their safety was absolutely guaranteed.
??The official ship set sail, the others were fine, but within two days, Shen Mingjiao started to get seasick and almost vomited so much that she couldn't eat.
??Alice didn't have time to be dazed, she peeled an orange and carefully shaved off the white silk to signal Shen Mingjiao to open her mouth, and said in disgust:
?? "You are young, not as physically strong as an old man like me."
??Shen Mingjiao swallowed the orange and felt a little more comfortable. She leaned on the soft pillow and said weakly:
?? "I can't help it! Weakness is born.
??Speaking of which, I never vomited so badly when I was Huai An'an! "
?? It should be said that she had a very comfortable pregnancy throughout the pregnancy, and there were almost no serious pregnancy reactions.
??Thinking about it this way, she suddenly felt that her family, An An, was very obedient.
??The child dangled in front of her all day, and she was so annoyed that she panicked. This suddenly can't be seen, so don't mention how uncomfortable it is!
?? Don’t you just make some mistakes? How can a child not make mistakes,
?? "When I get An'an back, I will depend on her for everything. If she wants candy, she can eat candy. The little princess should be pampered and grow up..."
??Although she looked pitiful at this time, Alice chose to tell the truth:
?? "At most three days, you won't think so."
??Shen Mingjiao didn't want to talk anymore, when a huge wave hit, the ship shook, Shen Mingjiao's stomach churned, she bent down and vomited for a long time.
??Alice hurriedly stepped forward and patted her on the back, Shen Mingjiao drank water and rinsed her mouth: "Hey! There are still two months left? I hope I can get used to it as soon as possible!"
?? No matter how powerful a doctor is, there is nothing he can do about seasickness. He can only try to overcome it slowly.
??Alice did not persuade her to turn around and go back, because she knew that Shen Mingjiao would not go back no matter how uncomfortable the seasickness was.
?? "It will be more comfortable to go out and enjoy the sea breeze,"
??The two were standing at the bow of the boat. Ellie saw that she was so pitiful with a pale face, so she paused, a little uncomfortable and said:
?? "Don't you want to hear a story? I happen to be fine right now."
?? "Are you serious?"
??Shen Mingjiao's eyes lit up, and her dizzy forehead became much clearer.
??As a woman, how can I refuse gossip?
?? In the face of gossip, what is seasickness?
??She turned her head and ordered: "Tangtang, go and bring two chairs here. Sweetie, go get some peanut and melon seed snacks."
?? After speaking, he stared at Alice with bright eyes.
?? The corner of Alice's mouth twitched, and she immediately regretted her soft-hearted behavior.
??Shen Mingjiao didn't give her this chance: "Anyway, the journey is boring, so why don't you tell me, Concubine Mu?"
??The two servant girls quickly moved tables, chairs, tea and snacks,
??Shen Mingjiao helped Alice to sit down, and poured him a cup of scented tea graciously.
?? Alice couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that she finally looked refreshed. She took the tea and put it on her lips and sipped lightly: "What do you want to hear?"
?? "...Uh, concubine mother can talk about anything she wants. I'm very curious about life in Dayue Kingdom, so just tell me about your childhood."
??She actually really wanted to know about Fu Guang's biological father, mainly because hearing Fu Guang reminisce about the past aroused her curiosity.
??But she definitely couldn't ask directly! There are ways for people to communicate with each other. If Alice doesn't want to talk about it, how embarrassing the two of them will be!
??Alice shook her head amusedly: "But I just want to ask if I have a good time with a few men? You Han people like to turn corners when talking.
??You asked me about my childhood! "
??She put down her teacup, leaned back slantly, her eyes were wistful:
?? "In the words of you Han people, I was born with thousands of favors.
??I was born to my father's first wife. Although I have never met my biological mother, I knew from a young age that my father was infatuated with my mother, and I haven't remarried for so many years.
??Of course, this does not affect him adding younger siblings to me year after year. "
??Shen Mingjiao: "..." I suspect you are being sarcastic!
??Alice saw her expression, and knew what she was thinking without guessing.
"It's not what you think. Our place is different from the royal family of Daxia. Bastards have no right to inherit. Even if there are no legitimate sons, they will only choose people from offshoots. Of course, there are loopholes to exploit. But my father is real. It hurts me.
??The life of the first ten years. I really had a good time. Obviously, as the crown prince of a country, I need to learn a lot, but I can follow my own temper, play as I want, and tear up books as I want.
??Fifteen or sixteen years old, I should be almost at the age where I should be successful in my studies, but I can't even read all the words. There were many complaints in the court, and everyone in Lausanne knew that I was an idiot princess. But I've been spoiled, I don't care at all, my father doesn't care, he still spoils me even more, wishing he could pick the stars for me! "
??Shen Mingjiao hesitated and asked, "Is this flattery?"
?? Alice shook her head: "I said, my father really loves me."
??The tone of these words is obviously normal, but why does Shen Mingjiao not believe it?
??"Not only my father, but also several important officials in the court, servants in the castle, almost everyone indulged me unconditionally.
??However, such good days only lasted eighteen years. Eighteen years later, the beautiful illusion was finally shattered little by little. "
?? Even the smartest person will be raised and disabled if he is unconditionally doted on by everyone.
??Alice was really stupid and impulsive when she was a teenager, but she didn't realize it.
??The first setback experienced in life is probably the unresolved death with the object of 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 crown prince is established, the king will conduct a secret selection. From tens of thousands of warriors across the country, he will pick out a child who is the strongest in all aspects and train him to become the shadow of the crown prince.
??The selected shadow must be absolutely loyal to the master. If the master is injured or dies, regardless of the reason, the shadow will be punished equally.
?? To explain in one sentence, one must be capable but has no status. Of course, people in the royal family also have their own ways to tame people.
??Alice’s shadow is called Berlin, she picked it herself, why she picked him, maybe it was because she was too young at the time, so I don’t remember much now,
??In my memory, no matter where she goes, the moment she turns her head, she can always capture a shadow.
?? Year after year passed, the maids around her changed one after another, only this shadow remained,
?? This seems to have become a part of her life, but she doesn't pay too much attention to it in daily life, because she is used to it.
??Until the age of fourteen or fifteen, the age when love first started, children at this age were already rebellious, not to mention that Alice was spoiled by her father, and because of some unsatisfactory troubles, she secretly left her servants and went to explore the barren hills outside the city alone.
??Of course, those who were dumped naturally did not include Berlin,
??Alice is bold and skilled, but unexpectedly climbed halfway up the mountain and almost fell off with her foot in the air. Berlin came to the rescue at a critical moment.
??Alice didn’t fall in love with Berlin because of this, because in her view, Berlin is her shadow, and saving her is a matter of course.
??Alice was hungry and cold, and the two hid in a cave, and Berlin lit a fire for her to get food. Alice just leaned against the rock wall in boredom, flipping through the unscrupulous picture book,
?? When describing how handsome the male lead is, and how strong he is in that aspect, she watched with great interest, and at the same time raised her head casually,
?? Just saw under the firelight. The young man sitting in the corner flipping the grilled food has indescribably handsome facial features, which seem to be even more beautiful than those described in the eclectic scripts.
?? She stared at this face for a long time before she noticed that Berlin was so good looking? Looking down at the various wonderful descriptions in the storybook, she immediately became interested.
?? Men and women of this age are just at the time when they don’t know much about intercourse. Besides, the atmosphere of Da Yue Kingdom is open. The master asked Berlin to come over, ordered the other party to close their eyes, and then directly raised his head and kissed him.
??She imitated the description in the book and was very devoted to kissing. Unfortunately, the man she kissed was like a statue without emotion, and had no reaction at all. She kissed for a while, feeling bored.
??I thought this was just a small episode in life, but after such an episode, when I faced Berlin again, it was a bit different after all.
??No one can tell when the heartbeat started, maybe it happened to coincide with the age when he first fell in love, or maybe earlier.
??But Alice, who was naive and impulsive at the time, didn't notice it at all. She doesn't like reading, but eats, drinks, and has fun. When she gets together with a bunch of unmotivated rich girls, she often talks about sex.
?? There is a female best friend who is very fond of playing. There have been several men. Seeing her curious, the female best friend secretly took her to a special place in order to curry favor with her.
?? But she looked at those men on the stage, but she was not interested at all, because she had already seen the best ones.
??She could feel it without turning her head, and Berlin was quietly following her in the dark.
?? She rarely had mixed emotions in her heart, including joy and frustration.
?? In the following period of time, Alice carried out a series of ridiculous pursuits to Berlin, but the other party was like a piece of wood without emotion.
??Of course, as a shadow, he will not resist anything Alice says, no matter how much Alice asks him, he will do it honestly.
?? It’s just that Alice is not happy at all,
??She is like a silly girl in love at this time, sometimes giggling, sometimes frowning,
??In order to make Berlin nervous, she was so brain-twitched that she jumped into the thorn bushes and hurt herself.
??Berlin appeared quickly, and then looked at her steadily. Finally, Berlin no longer looked like a log, but when she met his gaze, she was inexplicably nervous.
??The young man didn't say a word, and squatted down to help her clean up her injured leg. His movements were cautious.
?? Obviously his legs and feet hurt, but looking down at his focused profile, all the pain seemed to turn into sweetness.
??Is this what love feels like? It's so wonderful, I really want to sink forever!
However, after cleaning up the wound on her leg, Berlin Zhan said, pulling a lot of thorns, aiming at her leg, stabbing down hard at the same position as her injury, and the thorns were stained instantly. spot blood.
??Berlin threw away the branch, and still spoke in the same rigid manner: "According to the rules, if the master is injured, as a shadow, he should suffer the same."
??The pink bubble in her heart was extinguished by a basin of cold water, she stared blankly at the back of Berlin retreating into the dark, feeling very depressed and uncomfortable.
??
