147, the third party(1/2)
The little princess began to rebel against the engagement.
She had no experience of resistance in her life, but she had a lot of experience of willfulness. She was so blessed that she upgraded her willfulness in her heart, and successfully welcomed countless times of crying, suicide, hunger strikes and trying to escape.
His Majesty, her father.
The Emperor of the Gomenshik Empire, who was still in his prime, frowned and looked at his spoiled little princess: "What do you want?"
Ye Sewei tilted her head and smiled innocently: "I want to stay with my father for the rest of my life."
The emperor looked at her silently and helplessly: "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Ye Sewei hugged his arm and said delicately: "Does the father want me to go to the distant Laerdin Empire, and from now on I will only be able to see you again in life and death?
"
"This is the fate of every imperial princess. If you enjoy the service of the empire, you must shoulder the corresponding obligations." The emperor lowered his eyes, with the indifference from a superior person that Ye Sewei was familiar with but unfamiliar to, but indifference
Underneath, there is also doting on his favorite little daughter: "If you must destroy this engagement and don't want to ignite the war between the two countries, then there is only one way."
Ye Sewei blinked.
"You must really never marry in this life." The emperor pointed in one direction with one hand: "Dedicate this life to the gods."
Ye Sewei looked in the direction of his finger.
Her eyes passed through the stacked palaces and fell on the towering dome of the temple in the distance. She saw the pure white statues standing silently inside, and the unsmiling faces of the archbishops and the strict and pale faces of the nuns appeared in her mind.
His face suddenly became ugly.
The emperor observed her expression calmly and was satisfied to see the shrinking look of the girl he had pampered for more than ten years. He was about to continue saying something when he saw Ye Sewei slowly stand up.
She took two steps towards the temple.
The huge six wings that suddenly opened up behind Morpheus appeared in her mind, and then she quietly retracted her hand and touched the wing hidden in her sleeve.
Morpheus said that he came from the Kingdom of God.
Gods do exist.
So, if I went to the temple and spoke to him in the temple, maybe he... would be able to hear me, right?
She promised to wait for him.
She agreed.
So she turned around, met the emperor's shocked gaze, smiled and nodded: "Okay, I do."
--
So she took off all her fine clothes, bent her long hair, and sealed all her jewelry in the box. She put on clean linen clothes. She had never worn such rough fabrics before, and her skin was quickly damaged.
Mo Hong. The maids had never seen a little princess suffer such injustice. They screamed and wanted those pedantic nuns to allow Ye Sewei to wear the new nun uniform they made from soft cloth.
However, the nuns sneered: "Those who serve God, do they need others to serve her?"
The maids around the little princess were also very high-ranking outside. How could someone say such rude words? Several maids rolled up their sleeves and prepared to start a fight, but Ye Sewei glanced at them and all of them shivered.
The ordinary black and white nun's uniform can't hide the beauty of the girl. She is still as bright as a dream, and even looks more delicate and innocent because she has removed all the glitz. The nuns next to her look dull due to ascetic training.
He calmly suppressed the disgust and envy in his eyes and snorted coldly.
"You all go back." Ye Sewei smiled at her maids.
"But..." A maid keenly felt the malice from these nuns and said worriedly: "They..."
Ye Sewei showed an expression that reassured them.
How can the maids be relieved?
Their little princess has been coquettish since she was a child, and those ugly and cold nuns will definitely torture their little princess!
So the maids exchanged glances, ostensibly withdrew quietly, turned around, put on the stolen nun uniforms, and sneaked into the temple secretly, hoping to catch up in time when the nuns bullied the little princess.
Come, lest the little princess be bullied too badly.
That is the little princess who has been carefully cared for by them since childhood!
As night fell slowly, Ye Sewei, who had conscientiously finished her evening prayers, followed the black and white nuns into the simple dining hall and silently picked up the simple dinner plates.
The maids bit their handkerchiefs and looked anxiously at the soup and water in the big pot of rice. They wondered where the little princess had ever eaten such a thing, and how could she endure such grievances!
Come back with us quickly, little princess, don't suffer this kind of injustice here! What's wrong with being a queen, and what's wrong with living a life of fine clothes and fine food?
But Ye Sewei is destined to disappoint them.
There was no displeasure on the little princess's face at all. She handed over the simple dinner plate without saying a word and filled it with food. She didn't even frown at the food that looked too bland. She was too calm and her eyes were just moving.
The soup that inadvertently stained his fingertips paused for a second, then he took the plate and prepared to eat in the corner.
However, she had just turned a corner when someone tripped her.
The food was all thrown out, and the girl lay on the ground in a panic, unable to react for a long time.
The maids took a breath and were about to slam the table and help the little princess to vent her anger. However, before they could appear, the little princess who was lying on the ground and was stunned slowly stood up.
She had obviously never met anyone who dared to put his feet under her feet. She was stunned for a while before she realized the situation. Even now when she stood up in a panic, the expression on her face was still a bit dazed.
And such confusion made the nun next to her who stretched out her feet maliciously even more dismissive.
——Until she suddenly felt a strange burning sensation on her head.
The entire dining hall was dismissive of Ye Sewei's trip. Of course the nuns who served the gods also had selfish desires in their hearts. They were envious of the bright little princess, and even more jealous that she was still delicate and beautiful after being devastated by such poverty. There were thousands of people in the temple.
There are hundreds of ways to torture people, but what's the point of tripping her up?
Tsk.
As a result, Ye Sewei, who got up in confusion, didn't show any anger at all. She quickly locked onto the person who tripped her just now without changing her expression, quickly pulled out the other person's dinner plate from her hands, and then put it directly on her head.
superior!
The thin vegetable juice spilled from the nun's head and covered her face, and then dripped down her chin to her clothes and skirt. The vegetable leaves hung on her hair, and the weak soup flowed from the tip of her nose into her lips.
, brings some bitterness.
Only then did the nun react. She wiped the food off her head and stood up suddenly: "What are you doing?!"
"You tripped me, so I held your meal on your head." Ye Sewei's voice was not loud, but very clear: "If you don't let me eat, then you don't want to eat either. You let me
I'm ugly, so you have to be uglier than me. Do you understand?"
"Do you think you are still the pampered little princess?!" The nun was angered by her words and slapped the table: "You are so brave!"
"Everyone is equal before the gods. I am just fulfilling the words of this divine code, or do you think the gods are wrong?" Ye Sewei looked at her calmly.
The nun was speechless for a while.
Immediately, Ye Sewei looked at the hiding place of the maids with a bit of warning. Her gaze pointed at the place, but it made the maids who had followed her for many years understand something.
——She already knew where the maids were and what they wanted to do. But she didn't need it.
She may no longer be the little princess of the empire, but she will always be the little princess of the empire.
No one can bully her.
In the days that followed, Ye Sewei encountered more and more difficulties, but every time she fought back. She might be embarrassed, but the person who tried to punish her would definitely end up worse. She was disgraced and stumbled, but she never stopped.
Not even half covered with dust.
However, the gods never responded to her.
She never saw Morpheus late at night again.
Maybe the gods are... very busy?
She thought this in a daze, closing her eyes every night she looked forward to, and then waking up disappointed in the day when the light came again.
Ten years have passed like this.
No one in the temple dared to bully her for a long time, and the empire gradually forgot about this little princess who doubted to serve the gods in order to avoid the marriage contract. They only remembered this beautiful goddess who presided over the ceremony of sacrificing the gods dignifiedly and quietly. She was better than
It was more beautiful back then, but more sacred and inviolable.
She still hasn't waited for Morpheus.
Ye Sewei leaned over and splashed cold water on her cheek, and then in the moonlight, she suddenly realized something.
She is human and she will age.
And the gods will never decay.
By the time Morpheus comes, she may have... long gone.
Ye Sewei raised her hand to touch her cheek, and was suddenly shocked to realize that although she was still beautiful in the reflection, she seemed to have reached her peak. Every day that followed, she would gradually decline like a withered flower.
.
She suddenly discovered that her hands were no longer as good as gelatin, and her cheeks, which had not been applied with makeup all year round, were a little rough to the touch.
For the first time, she felt panic.
The night became thicker in her panic and confusion, and the temple was unknowingly shrouded in strange darkness. The night was treacherous, but Ye Sewei, who was kneeling by the water, seemed unaware of it until she
Suddenly a voice was heard.
