Chapter 86 85. Apple girl

Once upon a time there was a king and a queen who were very sad because they had no children.The Queen was always asking, "Why can't I have a child like the apple tree?" A strange thing happened, the queen gave birth to an apple instead of a baby.But this apple is different. Not only is it very beautiful, but it is also more colorful.So the king put it on a golden plate on the balcony. Living opposite this king's house is another king.One day, the king who lived on the opposite side stood at the window and looked out. He saw a girl as white as an apple on the balcony of the opposite king's house, combing her hair in the sun.He stayed there, looking at her obsessively, he had never seen such a beautiful girl.When the girl notices someone staring at her, she runs to the tray, dives into the apples, and disappears.The king fell in love with her.

After thinking and thinking, he finally knocked on the door of the opposite palace and asked the queen, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to do me a favor." "I am very willing, Your Majesty. Neighbors should help each other..." said the Queen. "I want that beautiful apple on your balcony." "What did you say? Don't you know that I am the mother of that apple? This is what I have been looking forward to for a long time." But the king persuaded and insisted that no one could say "no" to him, because he wanted to maintain a friendly relationship with neighbors.In the end he got the apple and took it back to his room.He prepared the things he needed to freshen up before, and every morning the girl would come out of the apple, and he watched her wash up.Other than that, the girl does nothing: neither eats nor speaks.Every day I just comb my hair, wash my face, and then go back to the apples.

The king lived with his stepmother.Seeing that he locked himself in the room every day, his stepmother began to doubt: "I have to know why my son always hides anyway!" The call for conscription came, and the king must go.To leave his apple, his heart weeps.He called his most loyal servant in and said to him: "I leave you the key to my room. You must be careful not to let anyone in. You must prepare water and a comb for the apple girl every day, and let him leave nothing. No, you have to be careful, she will tell me everything later." (Actually, the apple girl didn't say a word, but he said so to the servant.) "If someone unplugs the phone while I'm away, Lose a hair of hers, and lose your head with it."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best." As soon as the king left, the stepmother tried everything possible to get into his room.She had sleeping pills put in the servant's wine, and when the servant fell asleep, she stole the key.She opened the door and searched the room, but found nothing.There was only one apple on a golden plate. "The apple must have charmed him." Everyone knows that the queen always wears a knife on her waist, and she draws out the knife and stabs the apple all over her body.A stream of blood oozed from each wound.The stepmother was frightened and ran away, putting the key back into the pocket of the sleeping servant.

When the servant woke up, he had no idea what had just happened.He ran to open the door of the king's house and found blood all over the floor. "Oh my God! What should I do?" He ran out. He ran to the house of his aunt, who was a fairy and had all kinds of potions.His aunt got him a handful of the potion for the enchanted apple, and another handful of the potion for the enchanted girl, and she mixed the two together. The servant returned to the apple and gave medicine to every wound.The apple split open, and out came a girl covered in bandages and a cast. The king came back, and the girl spoke to him for the first time, and she said, "Your stepmother stabbed me, but your servant healed me. I am eighteen years old and free from magic. If If you want, I can marry you."

The king said: "Do you need to ask, of course I like you!" The two adjacent palaces were full of joy, only the stepmother fled to nowhere, and there was no more news. They lived happily together there, But nothing was given to me, No, they gave me a penny, I carry it in a small pocket. (Florence area)
