[Chapter 43]: The princess said she didn't cry if she didn't cry! (sixth more)
A mermaid story?
Elizabeth was hearing the term "mermaid" for the first time.
Suddenly his eyes lit up with curiosity.
She didn't take the liberty to interrupt, sitting on a chair with her white chin in her small hand, she continued to listen carefully—
"The mermaid princess rescued the prince and fell in love with the prince at first sight. Suddenly, she heard someone approaching, so she hurriedly hid… After the prince woke up, he mistakenly thought it was a human girl who saved him, so she fell in love with that girl and decided to marry her…"
Fang Qingyan's voice was not in a hurry, and he slowly told one of the most classic love stories in Andersen's fairy tale – "The Story of the Mermaid Princess".
Elizabeth listened very carefully, and she was totally absorbed in it.
Just like last time, the story fascinated her from the very beginning.
"…The mermaid princess made a deal with the witch. In order to let herself have human legs, she gave her singing voice to the witch. At the same time, she paid a great price, that is, every step she took, her feet would be broken. Experiencing excruciating pain…"
Admiration and longing appeared in Elizabeth's large blue eyes.
Is this love? For the person he loves, he is willing to give up his once proud singing voice, and even willing to endure great pain, just to be closer to him.
The story continues.
"…Although the mermaid princess can't sing or talk, but she dances very well and successfully pleases the prince, but the prince doesn't know, every dance move, turn, jump… She endures inhuman drama Painfully tortured, but still trying to keep smiling in front of the prince…"
Elizabeth pursed her lips tightly, and tears gradually flickered in her eyes.
She was a little afraid to listen any more.
She was afraid that the mermaid princess had paid so much, but in the end she could not get the love she wanted.
Just like her mother, who was eventually destroyed by love!
Fang Qingyan glanced at her and saw that she was covering her ears with her small hands, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Highness Princess, if you don't want to listen, I won't tell you."
Elizabeth's face was tangled for a while, her eyes hesitated, but in the end she gritted her silver teeth: "I…I want to listen!"
She has heard the tragic tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. Is there a sadder love ending in the world? She doesn't believe it.
Fang Qingyan glanced at her with a half-smiling half-smile, and reached out to give him a tissue: "Then take this one first."
"Qi~" Elizabeth snorted and threw the tissue on the ground disdainfully, "Stop looking down on people, I won't cry!"
Fang Qingyan nodded and continued to tell the story——
"On this day, the prince took the mermaid princess to the beach to meet a girl. The prince said: 'My life is saved by her, so I want to marry her', and the mermaid princess shouted 'No! I saved you , not her', but her voice has been given to the witch, and the prince cannot hear these words at all…"
"…Kill the prince so that she can get back her singing voice and fish tail, but she couldn't do it, she couldn't do it, and finally left the sword and cried and left…"
when you get here.
In fact, Elizabeth had tears in her eyes, and she was about to cry.
But she remembered the rhetoric she just put down, so she was stubbornly fighting against her lacrimal glands, holding back her tears.
Seeing her like this, Fang Qingyan sneered in her heart, Elizabeth was already at the end of her power.
Sure enough, when she heard the tragic ending of "the prince married that hypocritical woman, and the mermaid turned into a bubble and died", she could no longer control it, like the straw that broke the camel's back.
"Ugh-"
As soon as Elizabeth's small mouth was deflated, she suddenly burst into tears, her beautiful face was covered with tears, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
"Why… why is it another tragedy?"
She is sad.
I feel deeply worthless for the mermaid princess, but also sincerely admire her spirit of giving up everything for love.
Juliet and Romeo are in love anyway, even if they die together in the end, they will die in the arms of their lover.
But the mermaid princess gave so much, but in the end she never got the love of the prince. Even when she died, the prince didn't know that she had loved him.
"woooo~"
While crying, she groped around her body, wanting a tissue to wipe her tears, but couldn't find it.
Finally, he looked at the tissue paper he had thrown away on the ground, his body froze, and his face felt burning pain.
Too embarrassing!
I used to say that I didn't cry if I didn't cry, but now I cry if I cry.
The question is, in such an embarrassing situation that Fang Qingyan is staring straight at him, should he pick up the tissue or not?
Fang Qingyan showed a meaningful smile…the tissues that he threw away, he picked up by himself!
"woooo~"
Sadness struck again.
Her Royal Highness, the princess, didn't care about any shame, she bent down and picked up the tissue, wiping away her tears.
Another cry rang out.
It turned out that Joanna, who was outside the door, was also crying… This thousand-year-old earl's maid actually used her mental power to eavesdrop on people's stories. You don't talk about martial arts!
Fang Qingyan had a bad taste in his heart and deliberately pretended to be angry: "You eavesdrop!"
"I didn't…no, woohoo~"
"Then why are you crying?"
"I…I remember sad things."
Fang Qingyan had a weird expression and asked subconsciously, "What's the sad thing?"
"I saw that Her Royal Highness was crying very sadly. I thought this story must be wonderful, but I couldn't hear it. The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, so I cried."
Joanna took a deep breath and said.
Full marks for emotional intelligence!
Fang Qingyan thought her husband had given birth to a child.
…
"Thank you for your story, it's really wonderful, shocking the heart and shaking the soul!"
Elizabeth finally stopped crying, snorted Qiong's nose, and said to Fang Qingyan with a blushing face, "But… can you not tell me the tragedy every time, I will cry."
Fang Qingyan thought about it and replied, "Comedy is often the same, only tragedy…"
"Only tragedies can be remembered, right? I know what you're going to say."
Elizabeth pouted cutely and learned to answer quickly.
Fang Qingyan grinned.
I don't know why, but when she saw him smile, her face suddenly turned red and her heartbeat was abnormal.
Dare to look at Fang Qingyan's face again.
"I…I'll come to listen to your story tomorrow."
Elizabeth stood up, leaning forward slightly with her slim body, "Thank you."
Fang Qingyan shook his head: "His Royal Highness, the princess, has a distinguished status. If you come to look for my servant every day, I am afraid that the Marquis will be unhappy… Come once a month, I will tell you a story every month, how about it? "
In fact, he just didn't want his quiet life to be destroyed. If Elizabeth came every day, he would definitely not be able to cultivate properly.
"One month…"
Elizabeth frowned, but seeing Fang Qingyan's irresistible eyes, she had no choice but to nod, "Okay!"
She is kind, naive, and unwilling to cause trouble to others.
So even though as a princess, she had the right to order Fang Qingyan to tell her stories, she would not do that.
From this point alone, it can be seen that Elizabeth's morality and character are simply 10,000 streets away from other royal families!
Look at Elizabeth, then look at Marston, Jason and the others, it's a world of difference!
Everyone said that "Elizabeth was a clear stream in the aristocratic circle", and it was true.
…
"I still owe you a dance, when will I pay you back?"
When parting, Elizabeth suddenly asked Fang Qingyan with a shy expression.
Fang Qingyan was stunned for a while, then laughed, "Do you still remember this? I forgot."
"I'm the princess of the Cape clan. I have to do what I say, and I have to pay off what I owe."
Elizabeth Tsundere raised her small chin.
After speaking, he jumped out of the library.
Back to the bedroom with Joanna…
