Princess Aries Palace of the Palace of Stars

Chapter 35

Chapter 47

"A lot of people, Aries, aren't you nervous?"

Ri Muyi smiled lightly, standing in front of the mirror and looking at his patched Cinderella dress, "What's there to be nervous about?"

"Hey, hey, hey," Huang Wener ran up to Ri Muyi with his eyes wide open, "You are the protagonist! If I were to play a stone, I would be so nervous to hide behind that paper shell! You're too calm!"

Ri Muyi tilted his head and looked at Huang Wener, "Are you worried about me?"

Huang Wener shook his head violently.

"But Aries, you look so pretty! Although the skirt is tattered, and the hairstyle is simple..."

"Praise me or hurt me?" Ri Muyi turned his head and showed a bright smile.

Huang Wen'er raised his eyebrows and stopped talking.

"The next program, please enjoy the fairy tale stage play "Cinderella" by the second graders!"

The host stood on the podium and talked passionately, and the curtain slowly opened, and the three big golden characters of "Cinderella" that were made yesterday first came into view.

The grass made of paper was blown by an electric fan behind the curtain next to the stage, like a breeze.Ri Muyi walked slowly to the center of the stage and stood among the bushes at different distances.

She hummed a folk song, looked at the "butterfly" in the sky, and the transparent thread reflected the faint light.

All the people in the audience were fascinated by this scene. The arrangement, both true and false, was like walking into a fairy tale world, and the farmhouse in the background was even more lifelike.

But in Ri Muyi's eyes, everything is not so beautiful - as long as she lowers her head, she can see classmates crawling and holding huge "paper straw" to block their bodies, and when she looks up, she can see corrugated paper butterflies There are some rusty electric fans and the faces of a group of students on one side of the head.When she first came here, she almost stepped on the foot of her deskmate.

Then, the grass disappeared one by one, a big tree appeared in the corner of the stage, and Cinderella's father came from the left.

"Son, come and meet your stepmother and two older sisters."

Ri Muyi brushed his hair and turned to the audience.

A girl with heavy makeup came out, followed by two girls with their heads held high.

Ri Muyi glanced at her "stepmother" lightly, and then shifted his gaze to the two girls.

"Hello, my name is Cinderella."

She made a court salute and looked up at them.

Well, the one in the green dress on the left should be Lan Ziruo, she looks very ordinary, no wonder she can't remember.

There was a girl in a blue dress standing on her left, Ri Muyi looked at her dress first.The ancient European style, the gorgeous patterns are inversely proportional to her clothes.

Ri Muyi's gaze moved upwards.

Her pupils suddenly constricted.How could it be her?
"Your sister is so beautiful."

Luo Xin's artificial voice interrupted Ri Muyi's thoughts.She came back to herself and looked at her with narrowed eyes.

Even though a year has passed, that beautiful face is still unforgettable...

Luo Xin's jewel-like black eyes flashed a hint of cunning, she stretched out her right hand, "Your skin is so fair."

Ri Muyi also stretched out his left hand, holding Luo Xin's hand in blue lace gloves, "Thank you."

Suddenly there was a pain in his palm, Ri Muyi wanted to withdraw his hand, but Luo Xin clenched it tightly.

She let go of Ri Muyi's hand, still graceful and at ease.

Ri Muyi didn't look at the palm, she knew that Luo Xin's hand was stuck with broken glass, and she also knew that her palm was bleeding slowly.

Can't help but clenched his fists.

Huang Wen'er hid in the background, seeing the bright red at the moment Ri Muyi withdrew his hand, he couldn't help covering his mouth and looking at her worriedly.

"From now on, you will be a family."

Cinderella's father smiled kindly, and patted Ri Muyi's shoulder.

"Well, yes, I will treat Cinderella like my own daughter."

The stepmother pretended to be decent and generous in front of Cinderella's father, and her hypocritical smile made Ri Muyi admire her acting skills.

Huang Wener sat next to the spotlight, biting his lower lip and looking at Ri Muyi.

"Aries, if you can't do it, don't act..."

A quarter of the stage play has been carried out. At this time, Cinderella's father is dead, and she is tortured by her stepmother and two sisters.

"Cinderella, wash these clothes!"

The eldest daughter played by Lan Ziruo threw over a pile of old clothes, and Ri Muyi sat by the basin doing laundry.

"Ah, the water is not enough, I brought you a bucket of water." Luo Xin walked slowly from the well with the red bucket in hand, poured it into the basin with a splash, and the water splashed on Rimuyi's skirt , leaving a little trace.

Ri Muyi pursed his lips, resisting the pain in his left hand.

It's salt water.

"Daughters, the palace has issued invitations, and the prince will choose a concubine through a ball tonight! Don't stay with Cinderella, go and change clothes!"

The stepmother happily pulled Luo Xin and Lan Ziruo away, and Ri Muyi stood up, holding a twisted dress in his hand.

The wound was skillfully covered by her.

"Mother," Ri Muyi called softly, "will you take me there?"

The stepmother turned around and said sharply, "No!"

"Look at your clothes, how dirty they are,"

"Look at your shoes, how worn they are,"

"Look at your hands, how rough and ugly!"

Lan Ziruo walked over, "Just because of you, you also want to attend the prince's ball? In the next life!"

The big red curtain fell amid the laughter of the three.

"Luoxin, can't you have some mature tricks?"

Ri Muyi tore off the package of the wound sticker and stuck it on the palm of her hand. The pain in her heart made her frown.

"So what? Even if my tricks are immature and noble, don't they still make you hurt? Oh, I just want to let you taste the pain!"

The curtain slowly opened again, Ri Muyi looked at her back, thoughtfully.

The taste of pain?Why did she say that?
10 minutes passed, and finally arrived at the dance party that everyone was looking forward to.Ri Muyi also walked behind the pumpkin carriage jam with great interest, wondering who the prince was.

The background behind was replaced by a gorgeous palace, and many people were dancing.

Rimuyi's curly and beautiful long hair is scattered on both sides, and the gorgeous rose red dress is really like a princess.She looked curiously at the crystal chandelier above her head, but what she saw was the slender lines of paper shells.

"Oh," said Ri Muyi, "I've never seen such a beautiful place!"

Cinderella's two older sisters looked at Ri Muyi together with the others. They pretended to be amazed and thought they were princesses from neighboring countries.

Suddenly, there was a commotion from the audience, Ri Muyi turned his head until he saw a pair of familiar blue eyes...

The background music was replaced by a grand waltz, and Ri Muyi stood in the center of the stage at a loss, staring blankly at the white and slender hand that the man handed over.

"His Royal Highness, can I invite you to dance?"

She didn't do anything, just stood there looking at him with deep puzzlement in her eyes.

"Aries! What are you doing!"

It wasn't until she heard the director's reminder in a low voice that she came back to her senses, saluted, put her left hand on the prince's right hand, and the two danced slowly.

"Why are you here?"

Ri Muyi looked directly at the blue color with indifferent eyes.

Ye Shangxian smiled slightly, "Because I want to dance with my Cinderella."

She stopped talking, and moved her eyes to the auditorium in the distance. The dark crowd seemed a little depressed.

Suddenly, Ri Muyi's gaze was fixed on a pair of black eyes.

That is……

With her leg tilted, Ri Muyi staggered forward, and Ye Shangxian caught her.

A faint crack appeared on the bright yellow glass heel.

This mistake caused the audience to sigh, and the director almost stood up, but was pressed down by the calm principal beside him.

"Your Highness, be careful."

Ri Muyi looked up at Ye Shangxian's gentle eyes, and continued dancing.

He turned his attention to the auditorium again, but those black pupils were gone.

Is it an illusion?

At this time, twelve o'clock struck.

"Beautiful girl, what's your name?"

Ye Shangxian's pleasant voice came from above his head, and Ri Muyi replied in a panic: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I have to go."

She ran out of the castle, which was the stage, and left a glass slipper on the steps of the stage.

Ye Shangxian pretended to run a few steps, picked up the shoes left by Ri Muyi, and looked them over.

This crack... is definitely artificially formed.

Ye Shangxian squinted his eyes, his golden hair hanging by his ears.

The curtain fell slowly, and the audience began to discuss.

"The prince is so handsome! I didn't expect it to be Ye Shangxian!"

"God, don't you know? Ye Shangxian is a third-year student at Luoying University!"

"Ah? I'm going to transfer to Luoying University! The students in this school are so lucky!"

Ri Muyi stood on the stage panting, those black eyes appeared in his mind so clearly.

There is absolutely only one person with such clean eyes.

But how is it possible!I must have made a mistake...

She took a deep breath, took a sip of water, and the curtain slowly opened again.

"Xin, you are doing well, keep working hard!"

Lan Ziruo patted Luo Xin's shoulder and said with a smile.

Luo Xin nodded, watching Ri Muyi drink the bottle of water from the corner of his eye, a weird smile crept onto his face.

Ri Muyi put on another glass shoe and sighed.

Finally... the show is almost over.

Pain and dizziness came from his temples, Ri Muyi blinked to keep himself awake.

"Beautiful Cinderella, will you marry me?"

His vision became hazy, and Ri Muyi vaguely saw Ye Shang's jewel-like blue eyes, and smiled relaxedly.

"it is good."

The moment the curtain fell, Ri Muyi fell into Ye Shangxian's arms.

"Yi'er, Yi'er?"

One second before losing consciousness, Ri Muyi heard Ye Shangxian calling her softly.

"Don't leave me alone again, never..."

The hazy white came into sight first, and Ri Muyi slowly opened his eyes, looking out the window, it was already pitch black.

She sat up, her head still aching.

There were footsteps outside the door, Ri Muyi watched the white door open, and asked softly, "Where am I?"

"You're awake." Ye Shangxian walked to the bed, "My home."

"...I'm so dizzy." Ri Muyi stroked his forehead, feeling hot for a while.

"Don't move, you have a fever, lie down so you don't catch a cold." Ye Shangxian covered Ri Muyi with the quilt, and patted her head.

"Why didn't you take me to the hospital?"

He smiled, "Someone pulled my clothes in the car and told me not to go to the hospital."

Ri Muyi turned his head and stopped talking.

"Take a good rest, I'll go buy medicine for you."

"I don't want to take medicine, it's too bitter." Ri Muyi pulled Ye Shangxian's sleeve and said childishly.

Ye Shangxian looked at her, "I'll buy you capsules. But it seems that you also need to take medicine for your hands."

Ri Muyi withdrew his hand and hid it under the quilt.

"Promise me that you won't hurt yourself in the future, okay?"

"Why? You are very domineering, and I'm not you."

"Because I will feel bad."

Ri Muyi was taken aback.

It was already late at night when Addis arrived, and Ri Muyi had already fallen asleep again.

Ye Shangxian looked at the weak person on the bed and sighed.

Addis touched Ri Muyi's forehead and frowned.

"How could this be?"

He shook his head, "The doctor came to see and said that he was drugged."

"Drugs?" Addis turned his head, "Does she have any grudges?"

"I don't know, but when I was backstage, I saw her hand was stabbed by a girl."

"Stabbed? Can't you protect her well? How can I feel at ease like this..." Addis was a little angry, and his beautiful eyebrows frowned.

"I will investigate this matter, and I don't want her to get hurt." Ye Shangxian said lightly, but there was deep worry in his eyes, "Because I want to protect her for the rest of my life."

"Hope you do what you say."

Addis gave him a deep look and sighed heavily.

"Maybe... I should take her back to France, she doesn't need to go to university."

The night winds up and tilts his head, and the champagne gold hair glistens faintly.

During this silence, Ri Muyi slowly opened his eyes and looked at Addis calmly.

"Brother Addis..."

Addis raised his head, his gaze was as gentle as water, "Well, you're awake."

"I have something to say to you alone. Is that okay?" Ri Muyi's tone was like a docile kitten, looking at Addis quietly.

After a long silence, he said, "Okay."

Ye Wen went out, and there were only the two of them in the huge bedroom.

"What do you have to say?"

"I'm sorry." Ri Muyi lowered his head, as if he had made a serious mistake, "I promised you, I can't let myself get hurt..."

"Hehe, I said it a year ago, do you still remember?" Addis stroked her soft hair, "Then how do you want to punish yourself?"

"You decide, whatever you want."

Ri Muyi pursed his lips, pretending to be wronged.

"I guess you don't want to just tell me that."

Ri Muyi turned his head and stared at the gray pupils of Addis.

His eyes seem to be so magical that they can see through everything...

"I don't want to go back to France."

He didn't speak, and Ri Muyi continued, "First, there are still some affairs that have not been dealt with in the Chinese headquarters of the Japanese Imperial Empire here; second, I haven't played enough, and I don't really want to go back to France..."

He smiled lightly, "Thirdly, it's because there is night winding... right?"

Ri Muyi was taken aback.

"These are all your excuses, dear Yi'er?"

"You think I like winding at night?" There was a little puzzlement in her eyes, "Is that so?"

"Isn't it? Yi'er, you have to face up to your inner feelings."

Addis' earnest words made Ri Muyi feel inexplicably heavy.

"Will I still have feelings?" She smiled, but there was endless coldness in her eyes.

"Yi'er, sometimes don't think of yourself so miserable. There are many people who are more miserable than you, those orphans who have no family, no friends, or even no place to live. Compared with them, you should be grateful for how much you live. Happiness. You don't have to worry about your clothes, and you don't have to worry about whether you won't have food for the next meal. Although you don't have parents, you have the most fundamental thing for happiness, which is the guarantee of life."

"When God creates happiness, he will also create misfortune. Only when you have experienced misfortune will you understand what happiness is."

"Happiness, happiness?" Ri Muyi murmured, as if she had never heard the word before, "Can I really have happiness?"

Addis smiled softly and nodded, "Yes, our clothes are growing up day by day, and living in peace, isn't this happiness?"

Ri Muyi lowered his head, looking at his pale fingers.

Yes, her life was bought by Xiaoyu and An Yuling, how could she be so pessimistic?With so many people who love her by her side, wouldn't it be too greedy if she still doesn't feel happy?
"Brother Addis, thank you."

Ri Muyi hugged Addis and whispered in his ear.

"Yi'er..." He was slightly stunned, and then gently pushed Ri Muyi away.

Ri Muyi looked at his actions with some doubts, "Brother Addis, do you want Yi'er?"

"Yi'er, I'm sorry."

There was a trace of pain in Addis's eyes.

"But you made an oath when you were a child, you said you would marry Yi'er when you grow up! We made a promise! Brother Addis, have you forgotten?"
