From Concubine to Queen Emperor
Chapter 2 The Lotus Flower Becomes Friends
"What flower is this?" ask me
"It's so beautiful" with an expression of liking the flowers
I took the flowers and brought them home. I wanted to ask my parents about this flower.
"Dad, mom!" I called my parents while shouting
"What's up, son?" ask dad
"You if you want to call us there's no need to shout so Chi Xia" said mother
"Sorry mom, today I am so happy mom" I replied happily
"Why are you happy, son?" ask dad
"I found this very beautiful flower father" I replied happily
"What's that flower, son?" ask mom
"It"
"This is a lotus flower"
"Lotus flowers?"
"So this is mom's lotus flower?"
"Yes my son"
dad said if anyone found this lotus flower then he would get lucky. Because, my father's family believes that the lotus flower is the beloved plant of the god.
Anyone who worships him or finds him, then he will get a very big fortune and also what is desired by his heart will be realized.
Actually it was just a myth and only believed by my father, but I will only take good care of this lotus flower that I found and is very beautiful.
I always carry this with me wherever I go, even I call him "My Lotus Friend". I talked to myself with my lotus, played with it, even took a bath with the lotus flower.
I've always seen people just use their petals for bathing, but I use them just to be my friend.
It sounds strange to be friends with flowers, why not just humans? That's because friends like me no one wants to be friends with me because I'm dirty and smelly.
So only this flower that always accompany me all day and also all year will always be with him. And I will also consider this flower as a human who always accompanies me.
A few days later, I was surprised to see this flower. Usually, each flower will wither and die if not replanted after picking. But the flower I chose was very different from the other flowers.
It's already day 10 but this flower isn't dead or withered, it's still blooming like the first time I picked it. I wonder why this one flower does not die or again in the slightest like other flowers?
...****************...
A few years later, I am 20 years old now. I wish our lives would change in the next few years, but unfortunately it's the same.
But, my father worked as a jeweler and the crown also made a living to eat us later. Many people from all over the kingdom ordered to make a crown with a very beautiful one.
The pay is very much, but my father is always paid equal to his master only 5 gold coins. With 5 gold coins alone we are not enough to buy rice even buy a side dish is not enough with just 5 coins.
We usually always keep 5 coins in the closet, sometimes the coins we also use for our purposes. So we save coins that are always reduced never add much because we use them continuously.
Sometimes also our most numerous coins can only store 100 coins in our closet, but there is someone coming and wanting to pay us a debt. He said he needed money right now.
My parents could not bear to see others in distress so, my parents gave all the coins we sowed for our needs. I who want to be angry is not so because I was advised by my parents.
After I was counseled by my parents, I instantly defused my anger and clicked all our coins for her needs. But she promised to pay her debt later, but until now she has not paid all her debt.
I sometimes help my father work there, and also I always bring my best friend, the lotus flower that I love from childhood until now. I also asked Dad to make a necklace from this lotus flower that I love.
Actually I heavy make lotus flowers that have always been with me for several years I destroy and make into a necklace for my neck.
But, if I always hold it I'm afraid if anyone takes it from behind or it goes out of my hand. So I let her be a necklace for me to use every day without getting lost from my neck.
It only took 4 days to make the necklace. After 4 days the necklace was finished and Dad immediately gave the necklace to me. I'm so happy to use that new necklace that Dad made for me.
The necklace was very beautiful, especially making the necklace out of lotus flowers. It was so beautiful and so sparkling, everyone who saw it using the necklace felt envious because the necklace was prettier than all of them.
I immediately brought home the necklace given by my father. After I came home I went straight to my room and reflected in the glass. And immediately the mirror sparkled and someone appeared from inside the sneeze.
Suddenly I was immediately shocked and he immediately said don't panic because he is a lotus flower that he calls his best friend.
"Si... Who are you!?" I asked with a shocked expression to see someone in the mirror.
"This is your best friend, the lotus flower"
"Lotus flowers? My best friend?"
"This is my best friend the lotus flower. The one you've been taking care of all this time and you always take it with you wherever you go"
"You're my best friend? So all this time you've been a human, not a plant?"
"Yes, all this time I was a human who hid my identity as a flower"
"Who are you really?"
"Actually I am..."
Mom suddenly called out to me and heard her footsteps coming towards my room.
"Chi Xia" mother's voice called out to me
"Sorry, next time I'll tell you" said the lotus flower with a panicked expression
"But I want to listen to it now"
Instantly the woman who stood in the mirror immediately disappeared and also the mother fit once already in the room.
"Mother!?"
"Who are you talking to, son?"
