Once again, the time was fast-forwarded, and she saw a little girl playing. Looking around, she was astonished to see a huge and magnificent ancient Chinese palace.
"Wow, this is so majestic" she moved her leg to walk but froze. She can't move again. She became aware that wherever the little goes, she follows. Perhaps she was connected with her.
"Du Wen, here, this is for you" The girl stretched out her hand to give something to a young boy.
The young boy looked at her with a blank look and pushed her. He reprimanded and scolded.
"You are ugly and stupid. Why would I accept anything from a pig-like you? Next time, call me Your Highness, or else I will ask someone to punish you. You are not worthy to call me by my name!"
The girl widened her eyes in disbelief and suddenly cried. A woman rushed hearing her cry.
"Little Miss, what is wrong?" She asked.
"He called me stupid and ugly." Sobbed the girl. The woman looked at the young boy.
"Your Highness, please forgive Xue Li. She is still very young." She bowed and apologized.
"Hmp! Next time, don't let her come near me." The boy arrogantly said and walked away.
Watching on the side with nothing she can do, Sheri was bursting with anger. She wanted to grab the boy and spank him in his butt. Such a bully. She felt sympathetic toward the girl. The little girl was a bit chubby alright but very cute and for sure would grow up to be a beauty.
The mother of the girl appeared and hugged her asking why she was crying. The other woman explained to her what happened. In understanding, the mother just embraced her daughter trying to comfort her.
"Shh don't cry anymore. It's okay. Always remember, Xue Li is the most beautiful girl in the whole kingdom. The most beautiful to me, your father and the whole family. How about we go home, and I'll buy you, your favorite candy?" She coaxed which made the little girl stop crying.
"Really? You will ask someone to buy me a dragon candy?" The girl wiped her tears.
"Of course! You are my little precious girl. I'll definitely get it for you if it what makes you happy."
Seeing that the girl was feeling happy again, Sheri was relieved.
Just as they were about to leave, a voice spoke behind them, and she saw someone wearing a red robe with a crown on her head.
"If your daughter was not born in your lineage...... sigh! you might have been spared by getting married into royalty."
The two women and the little turned around. They prepared themselves to kneel down but was stopped.
"Don't" She firmly commanded.
