Each.
As if she had anticipated her future life, Lan Xin's attitude towards Zhou Tong was a little better.
She was even allowed to eat with them at dinner.
As the name suggests, this was their farewell meal with her.
Because, starting tomorrow, they will leave here and live in the palace.
Of course, Lan Xin would not bring Zhou Tong along.
Zhou Tong had eaten as a servant for so long, so naturally he would not refuse this feast.
No matter what Lan Xin said, she kept silent and let herself pick up the food with her chopsticks, without saying a word.
After all, this meal is really delicious.
And Lan Xin was naturally very satisfied with her attitude.
It was their only and happiest supper.
Chapter 15 (six)
"Mother, the prince doesn't like her anyway, why not let her go."
It was Zhou Ruo who said this.
Zhou Tong's behavior at the dining table made the hidden guilt in her heart come out again. She remembered that just now, when Zhou Tong was wolfing down because he hadn't eaten for too long, he seemed to secretly wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
If Zhou Tong told her that he just choked because he ate too fast, I don't know if Zhou Ruo's sympathy would come out.
"If someone like her enters the palace, others will laugh at us." Lan Xin didn't express her true thoughts, but thought of a plausible reason.
"Okay, it's getting late. Go back to your room and go to sleep. Tomorrow is the day to choose the prince and concubine. Don't be lazy and sleep late. Go to bed early and perform well tomorrow, good night."
Zhou Ruo sighed, "Yes, good night, mother."
After all, she still couldn't take that step in her heart.
……
"You don't need to clean up today, anyway, this is not where we live anymore. You can do whatever you want in the future, and it has nothing to do with us anyway."
This was the only and last sentence Lan Xin said to her after they got into the carriage.
As soon as he finished speaking, the coachman waved his whip.
The yellow horse drove a few people away, and the dust brought up by the horseshoes rushed towards her. Zhou Tong coughed a few times, looked at the carriage that disappeared from sight, and walked in the door.
She went back to the room, sat on the bed, and asked the system.
【001, how long will the dance start? 】
[Host, there is still an hour. 】
[Is it because the main mission failed, I have to stay in this world until I die of old age? 】
[Yes, host. 】
If there were no people like Lanxin, it would be nothing to let her live here for decades.
But she knew that Zhou Qian and Zhou Ruo would definitely not be selected, so accordingly, Lan Xin would come back tonight.
She really doesn't want to be in the same room with someone like Lan Xin, so if she can choose, she definitely hopes to complete the main task quickly so that she can leave here.
[Is the chance of the fairy appearing now, high? 】
[Host, I'm sorry, I don't know. 】
Zhou Tong sighed, didn't it mean that the fairy came to help Cinderella when she was desperate?Why did the fairy refuse to show up when I came here?
She lowered her head slowly, a little at a loss, and murmured, "Why haven't you appeared yet?"
As soon as the words fell, a slender woman in a long white dress suddenly appeared in front of the empty space.
She doesn't have a pair of white and wide wings like in the fairy tales, and she doesn't even have a fairy wand. She looks like a normal woman.
But Zhou Tong realized something at this moment, raised his head suddenly, and saw the person standing in front of him.
When she was stunned by the beauty of the other party and couldn't say a word, the voice of the system sounded in her mind at the right time.
[Host, the plot of "Meeting a Fairy for the First Time" has been triggered. 】
An Er looked at her, her watery eyes were full of tenderness, and when she looked carefully, she seemed to have a little helplessness and compromise.
She stretched out her hand, gently held her face, slowly lowered it, moved closer, and kissed her forehead lightly with her dull expression.
"Do you really, really want to go to the palace so much?"
Zhou Tong nodded subconsciously, and when she realized what she said, she added, "Well, I really want to."
There was a trace of sadness in An Er's expression, but it was fleeting, and the soft light returned to his eyes.
"I'll help you."
After finishing speaking, she let go of the hand holding her chin, and spread it flat in front of Zhou Tong.
The thin lips parted slightly, as if a light breath came out of her mouth, and there was an extra invitation letter in the palm of her hand that had nothing at all.
The golden pattern is outlined on the cover, which is very precious at first glance.
"Here's an invitation to the ball."
An Er handed it to her.
Zhou Tong took it, "Thank you."
[Host, the "Invitation Received" scenario has been triggered. 】
The time interval between the triggering of the plot is very short, Zhou Tong is not surprised, after all, these two main plots are obviously triggered around the same time.
Seeing that the joy in her expression did not seem to be fake, An Er unconsciously tightened her hand, but she didn't show any emotion on her face, and asked her gently, "What else do you want?"
This is a sentence that the fairies would ask in the fairy tales that Zhou Tong had read.
So she imitated the real Cinderella and hoped that she could change herself into a nice dress.
I thought that the fairy only needs to take out her fairy wand and spin it around her body, and she will be able to change her appearance.
It turned out that the reality was much more down-to-earth than in the fairy tales. The dress was conjured up, but it was not worn directly on her body, but held by An Er.
Zhou Tong just wanted to take it from An Er, but An Er, who looked gentle and would satisfy her in anything, avoided her hand slightly. She smiled and told her, "This suit is very complicated, I will help you."
……
Zhou Tong blushed, although An Er in front of her looked composed, she still felt that her expression was weird.
Thinking of the scene where the so-called fairy forced her on the bed and stripped her clothes, she wanted to complain even more. This is actually a pervert in human skin, right?
Although the other party is also a woman, I still feel weird.
I have grown up so much, except for her mother, I have never been helped to change clothes.
Thinking about it this way, his cheeks looked like they had been burned by fire.
An Er adjusted the heavy dress for her, looked it over carefully, and nodded with satisfaction, "It suits you very well."
Zhou Tong didn't want to be in the same room with her anymore. Although An Er looked pure and clean, she always felt that this was just a superficial appearance.
Not every fairy is kind, right?
Isn't the uninvited fairy in Sleeping Beauty the ultimate big boss?
So, you can't see anything just by looking at it!
So she took a step back, "Thank you, but the dance is about to start, I have to go first, or I won't be able to catch up."
Just as Zhou Tong was about to turn around and leave, she was suddenly grabbed by the hand. The other party pulled her back, and she threw herself into the other party's arms in a daze.
An Er didn't use this posture to do anything to her, but stretched out her hand, hooked her chin lightly, and raised Zhou Tong's head, which fell into her arms for a moment and forgot to recover.
She stared at her, and there seemed to be some emotions in her eyes, "Don't you know that if you go in like this, you will be kicked out?"
Zhou Tong was taken aback for a moment, forgetting to let her go.
It seems that what the fairy said is quite right, if she walked in with such a disheveled hair, no matter how gorgeous her clothes were, she would probably be kicked out as a lunatic.
An Er let go of her, and took out a silver fairy wand from nowhere.
Taking advantage of her height, she pinched the end of the fairy stick and spun a few circles directly above Zhou Tong's head.
Zhou Tong first felt the changes in the soles of his feet, and when he looked down, the loose and worn-out shoes with a few holes turned into a pair of exquisite blue and white crystal shoes.
She didn't need to look to know that her face must have changed.
An Er was not at all amazed by her changed face, as if she knew how good-looking Zhou Tong would be after a facelift.
She frowned, "It's all right now."
Zhou Tong was quiet for two seconds, and said with a dark face, "Since you can help me change my clothes, fairy, why didn't you just change my clothes as well."
An Er blinked innocently, "I forgot."
fart!I just want tofu!
Chapter 16 (Seven)
There was another carriage parked on the road, which was different from the pumpkin carriage in the fairy tale, it was just an ordinary carriage.
Zhou Tong glanced at the coachman, he was a young man.
I don't know if it's from a mouse.
But that's not what she should be concerned about now. The dance is about to start, and if she doesn't hurry up, she will be late.
Zhou Tong lifted the hem of his skirt and walked up. Just as he sat down, another figure fell beside him.
A sweet fragrance surged into her nose, exactly the same as what she smelled when she threw herself into the opponent's arms just now.
"Let's go."
As soon as An Er's words fell, the coachman swung his whip on the horse's buttocks, and the horse suffered from pain, and pulled the carriage forward quickly.
There is a lot of space in the car, and it is still empty for four people.
However, An Er didn't seem to realize it at all, her body was so close to her, she could feel the warmth of her body from her thin clothes.
She was a little uncomfortable, and quietly sat on the side.
An Er maintained the posture just now, and did not speak. She looked straight ahead, as if she was thinking about something.
Zhou Tong felt that the atmosphere was a bit breathless, but he suddenly wanted to speak and didn't know what to say.
"You like that prince?"
Zhou Tong shook his head.
An Er's expression seemed to have changed. When she nodded, the corners of her mouth seemed to curve deeper.
"However, I want to be a princess."
As soon as she said this, the temperature in the car suddenly became colder.
Especially the aura around An Er's body was instantly suppressed terribly.
However, she was telling the truth, her purpose of entering the palace was to become a prince and concubine.
After that sentence, the two remained silent all the way.
It wasn't until the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace and Zhou Tong raised the hem of her skirt again that she wanted to get off, An Er reached out and grabbed her, "Can't you not go?"
Zhou Tong turned to look at her, her expression was still soft, but there seemed to be something else in her eyes, she couldn't see through it, and she didn't have time to continue to delve into it.
She let go of the hand holding the hem of the skirt, and put it on An Er's delicate white hand holding her. She caught a glimpse of a cherry-red petal on her wrist.
Zhou Tong looked away, and gently released her hand, "No."
An Er was sitting in the car, watching Zhou Tong's figure stepping up the steps step by step. The inspector at the door checked the invitation letter in her hand and let her go.
She stared at her until the other person's figure completely disappeared from her sight.
The coachman who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "Do you want to go?"
An Er stared at the door where only the guards were standing, and did not speak for a long time. After a while, she slowly looked away and pulled down the curtain outside the car window.
"Let's go."
……
Just like in a fairy tale, the moment Cinderella appeared, she became the focus of everyone's attention.
Bai Lin, who was originally entangled among a group of beautiful girls, made a decision instantly when he saw Zhou Tong walking in from the door.
At this moment, no matter how beautiful the girls around her were, they all turned into green leaves that set off Zhou Tong's beauty.
At first, Lan Xin thought it was the daughter of some prince or nobleman who came in, but she immediately realized that the beautiful girl in front of her who had captured everyone's attention was the dirty girl in her family.
That pair of eyes that were as bright as a starry night were exactly the same as her mother's.
That's why she would never let Zhou Tong attend the ball, because she knew what a perfect face that damned girl had under the cover of dust.
Zhou Ruo stood beside her, she didn't recognize that person was Zhou Tong, she exclaimed with amazement, "This girl is really the most beautiful person I have ever seen."
She didn't regret that the prince didn't choose her at all, because they were not from the same world.
Without undue expectations, there will be no regrets.
……
This feeling of being watched by everyone, she experienced several times when she was Snow White.
So Zhou Tong was not timid at all, but stood there with a smile, looking at Bai Lin who was walking towards him step by step.
As she thought, Bai Lin is a handsome man.
But she didn't feel any fluctuation in her heart, she just admired him, without any other liking.
Bai Lin stopped in front of her, bent down and made a gentleman's salute, and then stretched out his hand towards her.
Zhou Tong put her hand into his, and she unconsciously glanced at his hand, which was white and slender as if carved from natural white jade.
Sure enough, good-looking people have a pair of good-looking hands.
Bai Lin gently held her, lowered his head and kissed her gently.
He raised his head slightly, with gentle eyes and a clear voice, "beautiful girl, can I have the honor of inviting you to a dance?"
Zhou Tong smiled and nodded.
[Host, the plot of "Dancing with the Prince" has been triggered. 】
In the middle of the dance, when everyone was attracted by the appearance of the two and couldn't take their eyes off, the lights in the hall went out without warning.
For a moment, only the white moonlight shining through the skylight was left in the room.
The darkness without warning caused everyone to panic.
But immediately, the lights came on again.
The frightened girls came back to their senses and turned their gazes to the middle of the hall.
Bai Lin didn't know when he pulled Zhou Tong into his arms, his eyes were still gentle, looking carefully, there seemed to be a little comfort.
He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid."
The warm breath made her ears a little itchy, which is a reaction that everyone would have unconsciously, but Zhou Tong didn't just feel itchy at the base of her ears, it seemed that because of these two simple words, her heart was also a little itchy.
She was a little strange, she didn't have any thoughts about Bai Lin just now, why did her mentality suddenly change.
Is it because the two are too close?
……
After the dance, the emperor and empress sitting in high positions obviously haven't recovered yet.
It wasn't until Bai Lin pulled someone to stand in front of them that the two regained their original expressions as if they had just woken up from a dream.
Judging from their expressions, both of them are very satisfied with Zhou Tong.
This ball was held for the purpose of choosing a prince and concubine for Bai Lin, so he didn't hesitate, and directly raised his voice to express his thoughts to everyone, "Father, queen, she is the one I want to spend my whole life with."
The king happily stroked his beard, and cheerfully asked Zhou Tong who was being pulled by Bai Lin, "Miss, would you like to marry our Bai Lin?"
Zhou Tong was waiting for this moment, but she felt that something was wrong. It stands to reason that the forecast bell should start to ring at this time, so that she can also run away, and then deliberately drop a shoe at the gate of the palace to develop the follow-up plot.
But now that the two of them are going to talk about marriage, why hasn't she heard a sound?
Could it be that the clock is broken?
But now there is no chance for her to wonder if something went wrong. Everyone is looking at her, so she can only put on a shy expression and whisper to the king, "Well, I am willing."
Zhou Tong's answer was beyond everyone's expectations, after all, anyone else present would have responded immediately
