In a room filled with the smell of medicine, a seriously ill lady lay weakly on the bed.
The door opened gently, and a father and daughter came to the hospital bed.
The father looked sad, sighed, and said to his daughter: "Zidi, please say the last few words to your mother..."
Childhood Zidi softly called: "Mom."
The lady reluctantly opened her eyes, and when she saw Zidi, she immediately showed strong love, reluctance, and guilt: "My daughter..."
Childhood Zidi said in confusion: "Mom, dad said you have to go to another place. Can you not go?"
The lady smiled, but her eyes quickly turned red: "No, mom also wants to stay and stay with you forever. But mom can't, I'm sorry..."
Childhood Zidi lowered her head and sobbed.
Her father behind her was also immersed in grief and remained silent.
The madam felt extremely distressed. She tried her best to hold Zidi's little hand and comforted her: "Little Zidi, don't cry and be good. Before I leave, my mother will tell you your favorite story.
.”
Childhood Zidi raised her head, with tears still in her big eyes, but her attention was obviously drawn away: "Are you going to tell the story about the princess, the devil and the knight?"
"Yeah."
"I... love hearing it the most." Childhood Zidi choked with sobs and nodded.
A long time ago, there was a kingdom. The king was kind and loving to his people, and he and the queen loved each other very much. However, they only got an heir after they got married for a long time.
She is a little princess who is not only innocent, lively and cute, but also the most beautiful person in the kingdom.
Whether it is the king, the queen, or the entire kingdom, they all love this little princess very much and regard her as an angel.
One day, a very bad devil sneaked into the castle and took the little princess away by force.
The devil took the little princess to his lair in the abyss and refused to let her leave.
The devil liked the little princess very much. He said angrily to the little princess: "Marry me quickly, little princess, you are the cutest person I have ever seen in the world."
The little princess shook her head: "I don't want to marry you, you bad devil. My father and mother will send knights to save me."
The devil laughed: "My lair is very deep in the abyss. No one knows its specific location. How can the knight find it?"
The little princess gradually grew up.
The devil bared his teeth at the princess and said: "Princess, princess, you are the most youthful and lovely girl I have ever seen in the world. Marry me now! After so many years, your knight still can't be found here."
But the princess had no doubts. Instead, she was more determined than before: "A knight will definitely find this place, and I will never marry you."
The princess gradually grew older and became a big princess.
The devil became even more fascinated by the princess: "Princess, you are the most charming person I have ever seen. Your skin is smoother than snow, your face is more beautiful than the goddess of beauty, and your eyes are more beautiful than the night sky."
The stars are brighter, and your golden hair is long and soft, like silk woven by the sun. Marry me now!"
"My knight will come to save me!" The eldest princess was still very determined.
The devil laughed and said: "You can't wait anymore. You have been waiting for so many years. If you wait any longer, the God of Time will take away your youth, fade your brilliance, and put wrinkles and oldness on your body. Instead of this,
You might as well marry me now."
The eldest princess thought for a moment and deliberately said to the devil: "Let me think about it. If I am in a good mood, I will promise you."
The devil was very happy: "Then how can I make you happy?"
The eldest princess said: "Oh, it's like this. Your lair is dark and stuffy. I haven't seen the night sky for so many years. If I see the vast sky and blow the cool evening breeze, my mood will be different.
Naturally cheerful.”
The devil thought for a moment and then promised the princess: "This is easy to do. I will open the top of the abyss and you can see the night sky."
So the devil opened the lid, and the eldest princess looked up and saw the night sky and many stars.
She suddenly tore off the hair tie, and her long, bright golden hair, like a waterfall, spread out.
Her long hair radiated golden sunlight, which shone into the night sky and covered up the brilliance of the stars.
A handsome young, brave and fearless knight saw the golden sunshine, broke into the abyss, and found the devil and the eldest princess.
"Let go of the princess, you despicable devil!" the knight shouted and started a fierce battle with the devil.
The knight is very powerful and the devil is no match for him.
But the devil was very cunning. He stretched out his hand and turned the princess into his appearance.
Now both demons stood in front of the knight. The two demons smiled triumphantly at the same time: "Knight, put down your spear. You can't tell who is real and who is fake. In case you choose wrongly
, it would be bad if you killed the real princess."
The knight hesitated for a moment, but quickly made his decision.
He drew his sword and struck the real demon in one fell swoop.
The demon was hit hard and roared in disbelief: "How do you know I'm real?"
"Because your body exudes a strong smell of sulfur, but although the real princess has been turned into a demon by you, she has a moving fragrance." The knight replied.
So, the devil was eliminated by the knight.
Once the devil died, his dark magic disappeared and the princess returned to her original appearance.
The young knight took the princess away from the abyss of sin, returned to the castle, and met the king and queen. The family was finally reunited.
The princess married the knight and lived a beautiful and happy life from then on.
After the lady finished telling this story, she became weaker and weaker.
She tried her best to support herself and prevent herself from falling asleep.
She used her last strength to grasp Zidi's little hand and said: "My little Zidi, my little princess, although your mother is leaving, you will still get your father's love."
"No matter what difficulties you face in the future, you must keep hope in your heart."
"You have to be optimistic and you have to be strong."
"As long as you persist, there will definitely be a knight, your knight, who will come to help you and save you!"
After the lady finished speaking, she finally lost all her strength and slowly closed her eyes.
The breath of life slowly dissipates.
This is a mother's blessing to her daughter and also her last words.
The young and ignorant Zidi has not yet understood the heavy meaning of the scene before her, but her mother's dying words are deeply engraved in Zidi's heart.
"Be good, don't disturb your mother. She's asleep." My father's choking voice came from behind.
"Oh." Zidi nodded obediently and followed her father's footsteps to the door gently.
"Dad, when mom leaves, can I see her off?" Zidi looked back at the hospital bed with great reluctance.
My father gritted his teeth and closed the door with trembling hands: "I think it should be okay...as long as you don't stay in bed and get up early."
…
Time passed, and Zidi gradually grew into a little girl in her childhood.
Inheriting the characteristics of her parents, like a princess in a fairy tale, she became youthful and lovely.
His father never married again. He founded the Ziteng Chamber of Commerce, and his affairs became more and more heavy. He loved Zidi very much. Perhaps because he had too little time to accompany Zidi to grow up, this love was mixed with a lot of guilt.
With her beautiful appearance, Zidi attracts attention and welcome wherever she goes.
In the academy, the girl Zidi was pursued by many young people. Soon, a noble girl with a prominent family background defeated all the suitors and successfully stood out.
He is handsome, rich, and gentle. Under his passionate and various pursuit methods, the girl Zidi gradually falls in love with her.
"Perhaps he is my knight."
However, one day at a dinner party, Zidi, who was standing on the balcony to get some air, accidentally overheard a conversation between aristocratic teenagers.
"Hahaha, I'm about to take down Zidi!"
"The bet between us must be won by me. She seems to be difficult to chase, but in fact she just really thinks that she is a princess, so she is domineering and arrogant."
"Hahaha, how ridiculous! She is just a businessman's daughter. No matter how big the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce is, her bloodline is extremely humble."
"Princess? Little girls of this age like to dream like this! She must be dreaming about marrying me. How could I marry a businessman's daughter with my status? It's just a joke! After playing with her enough, one of you will take over, I
random."
Zidi was standing against the wall on the balcony, her face was pale, her hands were covering her mouth tightly, tears bursting from her eyes.
…
The disillusionment of love caused Zidi's heart to be severely damaged, and she once felt that her world was full of misfortunes.
After this incident, she became extremely vigilant towards all suitors and was never easily tempted again.
A busy father cannot enter the girl's sensitive heart. She can only tell herself the countless sorrows and worries.
First, the princess's dream was shattered, and then the burden of her studies gradually increased, making her realize a cruel reality - her bloodline was inferior. Even if the Chamber of Commerce provided sufficient training resources, and even if she worked extremely hard, her highest achievement in life would not be achieved.
It can only be black iron level.
As his father's business grew bigger and bigger, the scale of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce continued to expand. He gradually felt that he was unable to do what he wanted, and the smiles on his face became less and less. After that, he looked sad almost every day.
Many late nights, Zidi found that the light was still on in her father's study.
Zidi would knock on the door and enter the study to remind her father to go to bed early.
The president of the Ziteng Chamber of Commerce often smoked cigars, and his increasingly fat body was huddled in the large leather seats. The thick smoke shrouded it, giving Zidi the illusion of being huddled and fearful.
When he saw Zidi, he would raise his head, squeeze out a smile from his face, and then quickly put out the cigar in his hand.
Without waiting for Zi Di to roll her eyes, he took the initiative to nod and admit his mistake with a hint of flattery: "My good daughter, don't say anything, I understand, I'm going to sleep right now!"
