Chapter 30 - Skip This Small World
Yunmian accompanied her mother in that world until the moment her life ended.
The mother, who was nearly eighty years old, lay on a slightly cool bamboo chair, holding her gently with her skinny old hands, looking at her intently and tenderly with her cloudy eyes, and said slowly in a voice that could be easily blown away by the wind: Mianmian, mom is gone, don't cry.
Such a separation of life and death was a long dream that the five-year-old Yunmian, who was lying on the hospital bed, had never dared to imagine.
She lay beside her mother's gradually cooling body, listening to the system's cheerful question in the same voice that had remained unchanged for eighty years: "Mianmian, are we leaving this mission world? Can I take my piggy bank with me?"
The first lucky money the system received was kept in a tattered wooden box. Later, as the years went by, it received more and more lucky money, and a small wooden box could no longer satisfy it, so it later used a piggy bank with patterns painted by Yunmian and special features.
It looks exactly like the sphere of the system, and a cotton ball and a cloud are thoughtfully carved on it.
The system likes it very much and is now squatting on the piggy bank and is reluctant to leave.
Yun Mian lowered her eyes and smiled, saying gently, "Let's leave after I finish my mother's funeral."
She was not very sad because she knew that after this world ended, she might have another chance to see her mother. Even if her mother did not appear in the future mission world, she could work hard to complete the mission and ask the General Administration to help her fulfill a wish.
"Host, we are leaving this world. Please be prepared to leave."
Following the system's prompt, Yun Mian sat on the sofa and quietly looked around the house where she and her mother had lived together for so many years, then nodded gently: "Let's go."
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly felt the dizziness of her soul being pulled out of her body.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the temporary residence set up by the General Administration for the mission host.
The layout was exactly the same as the residence in the world she had just been in. When Yun Mian looked over, she saw the system solemnly putting the piggy bank back to its original position.
"Host, do you want to see the ending of the previous world without our intervention? You can view it after completing the task." The system flew in front of her.
Yunmian tilted her head to think about it, and asked it: "Is this a good ending?"
system:"……"
Yunmian quickly understood something from its silence, and then thought of the original plot, and shook her head without hesitation: "Then I won't watch it."
The ending has been changed, and it is not Yunmian's style to dwell on the previous ending.
"Okay, then I'll start the next question." The system stepped back and asked her in a low voice: "Mianmian, when are you going to go to the next mission world? We only have three days to rest."
Even though Yunmian has lived for decades now, the system still prefers to call her Mianmian.
Yunmian: "...Can I adjust my rest time?"
"It can be half and half." The system shed tears of sympathy for its host.
This time, Yun Mian was silent. After a long while, she silently complained: "Your General Administration is really a profiteer."
However, she quickly made a decision: "Half and half, I won't rest, I will go directly to the next mission world."
The system flew over hesitantly: "It's not impossible, but Mianmian... all the memories of this world of yours need to be sealed, otherwise your brain will have a lot of storage capacity for memories, and you will have to receive new memories when you go to the next world. Moreover, the brain of a child is not fully developed. You might become a fool on the spot with just one sentence."
Yun Mian was stunned: "All the memories?"
The system solemnly confirmed: "Yes, including all your learning achievements and interpersonal skills in this world. In short, you will return to the state you were in the day you first entered Zhaojiagou."
Yunmian: “…”
A little panicked.
But the question shouldn’t be…? !
Before her thoughts were fully formed, her vision went dark and she could only hear the system's panicked voice: "Mianmian, the application has been submitted and the transmission has begun!!"
At the entrance of a busy ancient market, a little girl dressed in rich and exquisite clothes, with a face as white and tender as a girl under the seat of a bodhisattva, stood blankly in the crowd. After a long time, she called out carefully: "Uncle System? Are you...are you there?"
The system floated in front of her, looked at the host whose mind and body were both reduced in size, and sighed slightly: "Yes, don't be afraid, Mianmian, let's find a quiet place first."
Start all over again. Although I miss the host's childhood, the self-personality of each body in each world will also affect the host's soul.
So in the last world, he was a village bully who played with cats and dogs and chased chickens and ducks. What will this world be like?
"Little princess, let me hold you. There are so many people coming and going on this street. It would be bad if someone bumped into you." A voice suddenly sounded behind her. Yun Mian was startled and turned around to find that it was an aunt in her thirties who was bending over and reaching out her hand to her.
Yunmian subconsciously shook her head to reject her, her voice soft and sticky: "No need, Mianmian is very heavy, I can walk by myself."
This auntie looks about the same age as my mother. After Yunmian learned to walk, she didn’t want to tire her mother out anymore. Now that this auntie is so kind, Yunmian doesn’t want to make her suffer either.
When Qiu Jin heard this, a warm smile flashed in her eyes. Their little princess was as lovable as a fairy from heaven, and she always showed pity to servants like them. The little girl was fair and clean like a little bun, who wouldn't like her?
After rejecting the kind aunt, Yun Mian realized that there were a lot of people following her. She was stunned, blinked, and then tried hard to ignore them at the reminder of the system uncle. She turned around and wandered slowly on the long street aimlessly.
By the way, listen to the system uncle reading the mission plot of this world to her in her head.
Yun Mian couldn't help but puff up his cheeks: Uncle System is really knowledgeable, he can read out so many words.
"Mianmian, this is an ancient world and also our first official mission world. It shouldn't be too difficult."
After the system finished speaking, it started to unfold the plot and was ready to read it out to Yun Mian one by one. However, the moment it saw the plot, its voice stopped abruptly.
"Uncle System?" Yun Mian stopped in confusion.
System: "...I'm fine. Watch your step. I'll read it to you slowly."
By the way, give each other some buffer time.
The core plot of this small world is the struggle for hegemony among four countries, and the protagonist is none other than the third prince of Yun Mian's country.
"The third prince's mother was born a slave. Neither he nor his mother was valued by the emperor. When he was young, many palace servants bullied them. There were also some conspiracies and tricks in the harem, which were aimed at them, and they wanted to eliminate a rival for the throne in advance. In addition, other princes also bullied him, including but not limited to pushing him down and hitting his forehead against a rockery, or deliberately tearing up his homework books when the ministers and lecturers were teaching, etc."
"The Third Prince suffered humiliation since he was young. What made him explode was that his mother was casually given by his father to a general who came to pay tribute from another country."
In this era, concubines were bought and sold, and the third prince's mother was originally a slave of the lowest status. It was impossible for the emperor to allow her to give birth to a child of royal blood, but his mother found ways to ensure his safe birth, forcing the entire Daqing Dynasty to hold their noses and acknowledge his status as the third prince.
So the emperor sent the man away without any hesitation, but the third prince lost the protection of his mother and lived alone in the deep palace, worse than a dog. In short, it was a miserable life.
As the protagonist, the third prince would certainly not give up. At a palace banquet, he began his first plan.
As for the target of the plot...
The system caressed Xiao Yunmian's head lovingly: "Mianmian, remember what your uncle said. The most unacceptable thing for any male creature is to feel pity and sympathy for them. Pity is the first step to being exploited by them."
Yunmian in this world is pampered by the eldest princess and the emperor. It can be said that even if it is the stars in the sky, as long as Yunmian asks, they will try their best to pick them for her.
It was incredible that Yun Mian had not been led astray by the eldest princess and the emperor, but the third prince Yun Yi, that little bastard, actually used Yun Mian as his first stepping stone to enter the emperor's sight, and he used her for more than 20 years.
First, he coaxed Yunmian to play with him every day, then he pretended to be pitiful and let Yunmian stand up for him when she saw him being bullied. Later, he deliberately designed Yunmian to fall into the water so that Yunmian and him had an imperial decree to get married. After that, he made full use of the connections and power of the Princess's Mansion to plan for himself, and step by step surpassed other princes to become the most respected prince by the court officials.
However, even so, he was still not satisfied, because his ambition had expanded and twisted. What he wanted was not only Daqing, but the whole world. He wanted to be the king who would unify the world and go down in history.
So Yunmian was carefully packaged by him just like his mother and given to the Emperor of Tu.
After conquering Tu Kingdom, Yun Mian continued to send his greetings to the rulers of the other two countries in turn, like a visiting card from the god of death. When the world was finally unified, Yun Mian jumped off the city wall of Xuejing Kingdom and ended his life.
But even so, Yun Yi did not let her go. He asked the historians to erase Yun Mian's identity as the eldest princess's daughter from the history books, and instead portrayed Yun Mian as a beacon who was brought up by him and brought disaster to the country. The people of the three countries whose countries were destroyed still made Yun Mian into a statue, and every time she was cursed and smashed, her reputation was completely rotten like mud.
And all this was only because the eldest princess saw through his evil ambitions and would rather send Yunmian to become a nun than let Yunmian and Yun Yi marry each other.
Yun Yi hated the eldest princess, but he did not choose to kill her. Instead, he let her live. He watched his precious daughter being sent back and forth like garbage. He also threatened Yun Mian with the eldest princess's life, forcing her to be obedient and endure it all.
The system was so furious that it wanted to fly into the palace and kill that little bastard right now!
This was Yun Yi's ambition, but what had Yun Mian, who was only five years old, done wrong? She had done nothing wrong, but Yun Yi had targeted her just because she was kind-hearted. He had stripped her of her skin, used her to the bone, and squeezed her to the bone, not even leaving her a name after her death.
Yun Mian listened for a long time, but she didn't pay any attention to the male protagonist and her own miserable life. When she heard the existence of the eldest princess in the system uncle's words, the memories of this body slowly emerged in her mind.
It’s mom!!
The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and she clenched her hands excitedly: "Uncle System, it's my mother!"
The system stared in astonishment: "... No way, is it such a coincidence?"
Yun Mian nodded happily after hearing what she said to herself: "Yeah, what a coincidence! Mom looks so beautiful in those clothes. Mom is the most beautiful girl in the world!"
She saw her mother's current appearance and clothes from her memory, her eyes sparkled with joy, and she wanted to run back and hug her mother and give her all kinds of kisses~
system:"……"
It stopped talking and wisely decided in advance that it must not show up in this world any more, as it would be terrible if it was discovered by its host mother again.
As a system, being discovered again and again by an ordinary human woman is too humiliating for it to bear.
Yun Mian had finally received the memories of this body at this time, and realized that the people behind her were not some kind-hearted auntie, but the maids, palace maids, and eunuchs prepared for her by her mother.
That's not right. She can't call mom "mom" anymore. She should call her mother "mother".
Mommy~ Little Yunmian silently repeated these two words and held his face happily.
Why is it that calling mom is always so sweet? Mianmian likes it!
Looking at the sweet smile on the child's face, the system couldn't help but feel a little toothache, of course, if it had teeth.
The host is truly a mama's girl. She firmly chooses her mother in every world and does not waver. She does not care about other plots or protagonists at all. They all become clouds in front of her mother.
"Mianmian, are you going back to see your mother now?" The system was a little curious.
Yunmian shook her head, and the fluffy ball hanging from the small hair bun on her head swayed with her movements, looking particularly cute and eye-catching.
"I want to buy a gift for my mother." Yunmian actually had no idea about this. After all, in modern times, she lies in a hospital bed every day. Let alone buying things, she probably has never even seen money.
It was the memory of this body that told her that her mother's birthday was coming soon, and she came out today to buy a birthday present for her mother.
But Yunmian has made a sudden decision to buy two gifts!
One is for my mom’s birthday, and the other is a gift for me to meet my mom again today!
The little girl, who finally became somewhat familiar with this world through her memory, was no longer as confused as before. She led a group of people straight to Baifu Pavilion at the end of the street.
The system was watching from behind as its host suddenly looked somewhat aggressive, and was speechless: Even though it would be affected by the personality of this body, in essence, Yun Mianmian was still the unreasonable Yun Mianmian.
"Boss, take out your best things and show them to our little princess." Qiu Jin acted like a nanny, not letting a five-year-old girl like Yun Mian look weak at all. But no one with a discerning eye would provoke Yun Mian with her and the group of people behind her.
The shopkeeper personally brought a tray of the store's top-quality pearls, jade, gold and silver ornaments, and said respectfully to Yun Mian, who was sitting in the warm pavilion, "Princess Anle, please look, these are the top-quality hair ornaments and hairpins from Baifu Pavilion."
The tray in front of Yunmian contained not only gold and silver hairpins, but also various pearls, jades and warm jades, all neatly arranged on the tray. The sight of such wealth was overwhelming.
But Yun Mian didn't understand much. She stretched out her tender white hands and casually grabbed a beautiful hairpin, then gently put it down under the shopkeeper's frightened gaze.
"I want to choose a longevity lock for my mother." The little princess' voice was soft and sweet. She curved her eyes and asked the shopkeeper obediently, "Uncle, do you sell longevity locks?"
Yunmian already has one, but it was given to her by her uncle the emperor, so Yunmian wants to buy one for her mother.
The shopkeeper was dazzled by Yunmian's sweet and soft smile. After coming to his senses, he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, of course, please wait a moment, I will ask them to bring in all the longevity locks in the store for you to choose from."
After hurriedly running to the door to give instructions, he quickly ordered someone to come in and replace the tea and pastries. In short, the service to this little princess must be thorough and there must not be the slightest mistake.
After all, she is the only little princess in the Princess's Mansion and the apple of the eye of the current Emperor. She does not have to follow any procedures when entering and leaving the palace, and can even ride on the Emperor's head and play horse racing.
Who in Daqing doesn't know the existence of Princess Anle Yunmian? The shopkeeper just didn't expect that this little princess didn't seem to have the arrogance and pride of a royal upbringing, and her words and deeds were so well-behaved that it made people soften their hearts.
But they still have to be slaughtered. If you open a business and don’t make money, you are a fool!
The shopkeeper never thought that he would be that big fool...
It was not until Yun Mian left with a longevity lock and the flower hairpin she had picked up at the beginning that the shopkeeper stared at the little princess's leaving figure in a daze, with the little girl's sweet and sticky voice echoing in his head.
"Uncle shopkeeper, can this really ensure my mother's longevity?"
"Uncle shopkeeper, this flower is so beautiful. Can you give me a little discount? The money my mother gave me seems to be not enough..."
"Boss, you must be thirsty after talking so much. Have some tea first."
"Uncle shopkeeper, you are such a good man!"
"Uncle shopkeeper..."
Facing the various looks from his employees, the shopkeeper raised his hand and wiped his face vigorously, finally coming to his senses from the constant scolding of the shopkeeper uncle.
The next second, thinking that he had sold two such valuable things generously without asking for any profit, his expression distorted and he covered his heart in pain.
It hurts, but if it happens again, he thinks he will still be bewitched by the innocence and cuteness of the little princess!!
Woohoo, woohoo, woohoo, that old man's silver!!!
Yun Mian happily returned to the carriage. After sitting firmly, she tilted her head sharply to look at Qiu Jin.
"Mammy, why are your eyes red? Is it because of the wind outside that blew sand into your eyes?" The little girl frowned a little worriedly.
Qiu Jin quickly shook her head upon hearing this, and then, in the clear and puzzled eyes of the little princess, she clenched her silk handkerchief distressedly: "I, I just feel sorry for the princess. You gave most of your money to the Third Prince yesterday, but today, you even have to choose inferior products to buy a birthday gift for the eldest princess, and you even have to bargain with the store owner... Have you ever suffered such hardship before!"
As she spoke, tears actually rolled down her cheeks. She truly felt that Yunmian had suffered a great injustice today.
Yun Mian was confused at first, then stunned, and finally asked tentatively: "Mammy, you said that I gave the money to the Third Prince yesterday?"
Qiu Jin nodded: "Yes, you felt sorry for him because he had no mother to protect him and was bullied by the palace servants, so you gave almost all the monthly allowance that the eldest princess gave you to the third prince."
