"But what the hell are you," the queen continued, "is it possible that you are a tall dwarf and have shaved your beard," "no, it is not so, Your Majesty," replied Edmund, "I have not grown a beard yet, I am a boy." ”"A boy," she asked, surprised, "you mean that you are Adam's son" Edmund was completely confused by the queen's words, and he could not understand what she meant, so he just stood there, motionless, and did not dare to say anything."
Whatever you are, you know you're an idiot just by looking dumbfounded."
The queen said sternly, "You must answer my question immediately, or don't blame me for being angry with you."
Are you human?"
"Yes, I am Her Majesty. ”Edmund replied."
Then I ask you, how did you come to my kingdom," the queen asked."
I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but I came here through a big closet."
Edmund replied."
What does that mean by the big closet," the queen asked."
That's right, Your Majesty, I opened a door, and before I knew it, I found myself in this place."
Edmund replied."
Hey," said the Queen, and instead of continuing to question Edmund, she muttered to herself, "a door, a door to the human world, I've heard of this kind of thing before, and it's going to mess up everything for me."
But fortunately, he is the only one who appears now, and it is very easy to deal with. ”As she said this, she rose from her seat, eyes sparkling, and she stared at Edmund as she raised her magic wand.Edmund had a hunch that she must be planning to do something terrible to herself, but he couldn't move.However, just when he thought he was about to die, the queen seemed to suddenly change her mind."
What a poor child," she said, in a very different tone, "it looks like you're frozen, come over quickly, come with me on the sleigh, I'll wrap my scarf around you, and we'll talk together." ”Edmund didn't like her arrangement at all, but he didn't dare to disobey the queen's orders, so he stepped into the sleigh and stood at her feet.The queen took the corner of her fur scarf and wrapped him tightly around it."
Perhaps you need some hot drinks, don't you?"
asked the Queen, "do you want to drink?"
”Edmund hastened to reply, shivering and so cold that his teeth were trembling.The queen opened the lid and took out a very small bottle from inside, which looked like it should be made of copper.Then, she stretched out her arm and poured out a drop of the contents of the bottle and landed it on the snow next to the sleigh.Edmund saw the drop sparkle like a diamond in mid-air, but the moment it landed on the ground, there was a sizzling sound, and immediately a steaming gem cup filled with hot drink appeared on the ground.The dwarf immediately ran over and picked up the cup, and he bowed to Edmund, then handed it to him with a smile on his face, which did not look very friendly.As soon as the drink entered Edmund's mouth, he felt that everything was so much better, he had never tasted it before.It's so sweet and there's a lot of foam mixed with cream.After drinking it in his stomach, Edmund felt his whole body become warmer."
Adam's son, I suppose, is not enough to drink, but to have something to eat," said the queen to him after a short time, "what is your favorite thing to eat?"
and "then please bring me some Turkish delight, Your Majesty." ”Edmund said.The queen dropped a drop from her little bottle into the snow again, and soon a round box tied with a green ribbon appeared.Edmund quickly opened the box and found that there were several pounds of fine Turkish delight inside, and each piece of candy was still very sweet and fluffy when it reached the middle part, he had never tasted such delicious candy.At this point, his body became very warm and he felt very comfortable.While he was eating sugar, the queen kept asking him all sorts of questions.In the beginning, Edmund also remembered not to talk while eating, as it was very rude.But soon, he forgot about it, and he grabbed the Turkish delight and stuffed it into his mouth desperately, the more he ate it, the more he wanted to eat it, without thinking about why the queen would ask him those questions in the first place.The queen learns from him that he has an older brother, an older sister, and a younger sister, and that his sister has been to the kingdom of Narnia before and has also encountered a goat.The important thing is that no one knows anything about Narnia except Edmund himself and his brother, sister, and sister.The queen seemed to notice that they were four brothers and sisters, and that she was always on the subject."
Are you sure there are only four of you," she asked, "just two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve, one is not too much, and one is not less," Edmund replied casually, "yes, I told you a long time ago." ”When he said this, he forgot to even mention the honorific title of "Her Majesty", but the Queen didn't seem to care about this detail at all.Eventually, he had eaten all the Turkish delights, and Edmund stared at the empty box, expecting the queen to ask him if he wanted more.The queen knew exactly what he was thinking, because it was a Turkish delight that she had enchanted and no one could resist the temptation of it, and if they ate it once, they would want to eat it again, and if they kept eating it like this, they would eventually lose their lives.Of course, Edmund wouldn't know that.However, the queen did not continue to give him Turkish delight, but said to him: "Adam's son, I really want to meet your brother and your sisters, can you bring them to me?"
”Edmund replied, his eyes still on the empty box."
And, if you can come again, of course you'll have to bring them with you, and I'll give you some more Turkish delight to eat when the time comes."
But now I can't give it anymore, because magic works once it works, but in my own home it's completely different. ”"Why don't you take me to your house now," Edmund asked.As soon as he sat on the sleigh, he was still worried that the queen would pull him into some dangerous place and never come back.But now, he had completely forgotten what he had feared."
My home is a very nice place," the queen said to him, "and I am sure you will like it."
Turkish delight is piled up there in room after room.And I don't have any children of my own, and I want to adopt a good child and raise him to be a good prince.That way, when I return to heaven, he will be able to inherit my throne and become king of Narnia.When this child becomes a prince, I will put a crown made of gold on him and eat endless Turkish delight every day.And you are the smartest and most handsome of all the young people I have ever met.When the day comes when you bring all three of your brothers and sisters to me, I think I will be more than happy to make you prince. ”"Then why don't you do it now," Edmund asked.At this moment, his whole face was flushed, his mouth and fingers were sticky with gummies, and no matter how much the queen complimented him, he looked neither smart nor handsome."
Oh, if I take you home now," she said to him, "I won't be able to see your brother and your sisters, and I would love to get to know your lovely family.Once you become a prince, then needless to say, you will definitely become the king of this place in the future, but you will have to have some ministers and nobles by your side to assist you, and when the time comes, I will make your brother a duke, and your sisters will of course become duchesses. ”"There's nothing special about them."
Edmund muttered, "But I'll bring them to you sooner or later, no matter what." ”"That being said, but once you come to my house," said the Queen, "you will be very happy, and perhaps by that time you will forget them all, and you will not bother to bring them any more, which is not good."
All right, you can leave now and go back to your own country.You're going to bring them to me in a few days, and you don't know what to do, but you can't do it without bringing them with you." ”Edmund looked at her pleadingly."
That's not a hard job."
The queen replied, "Do you see that lamp over there?"
she pointed with her magic wand, and Edmund turned to look in the direction she was pointing, and it was the lamppost, where Lucy had said she had met the goat, "You follow that path all the way to your human world."
Now, look at the other way," she said, turning her wand in the opposite direction, "tell me, can you see the two hills standing in the woods?"
”Edmund replied."
Well, my home is between those two hills.So remember, the next time you come, you just have to find the lamppost, and then find the two hills, and walk through the woods, and all the way to my home.You'd better walk along the river on the right, but you have to keep in mind that you'll have to bring the other three with you, and I'll be furious if you're the only one who comes. ”"I'm going to do everything I can to get this done."
Edmund said."
By the way," admonished the Queen, "don't mention my existence to them, for only the two of us know about it, and you can easily find a suitable excuse for a clever child like you, and take them to the two hills."
When you get to my house, you just have to tell them and let's see who lives here, or something like that, and surprise them when the time comes, and I believe it's best if your sister meets the goat, she may hear all kinds of untrue and ridiculous rumors about me, and hear him tell some vicious stories that are contrary to the facts, and it is likely that she will be afraid to come to me.You know, the sheep monster can tell any lie, so now" Edmund suddenly interrupted her and begged her, "I'm sorry, please, can you give me another piece of Turkish delight to eat on my way home?"
"No, of course not." ”The queen laughed, "You must wait until next time before you can eat again." ”As she spoke, she motioned for the dwarf to prepare to leave.Then the sleigh sped away.When the queen's figure was about to disappear, she waved her hand at Edmund and shouted, "Next time, don't forget to eat next time, hurry up and come to me." ”Edmund watched the sleigh go away until it disappeared before his eyes.Just then, he suddenly heard his name called, and he looked around and saw Lucy walking towards him from the other side of the woods."
Oh, Edmund," she cried out happily, "so it's amazing that you're here, now" "All right," Edmund interrupted her, "I know you're right, it's a magic wardrobe, and I'm sorry if that's what you want."
But where the hell have you been all this time, I've been looking for you everywhere. ”"If I knew you were coming too, I'd be waiting for you."
Lucy said excitedly, she was so happy, she didn't notice how impatient Edmund was when he spoke, and his face was strangely red, "I just had lunch with the cute goat Mister Tumnath, and he's such a very nice goat.He let me go, and the White Witch didn't do anything to him now, so he thought that even if the matter was hidden, maybe everything would be fine. ”Edmund, the White Witch, asked curiously, "Who is she?"
and "She's a very terrible person," Lucy replied, "She claims to be the queen of the kingdom of Narnia, but she's not qualified to be the queen of the kingdom here, and all the goats, dryads, nymphs, dwarfs, and animals, all the good things hate her."
She would use her magic to turn people to stone, and she would always do all sorts of really horrible bad things.She also casts a spell that makes the whole of Narnia winter all year round, and she doesn't allow everyone to celebrate Christmas.She wore a golden crown on her head and a magic wand in her hand, and she was always speeding around in a sleigh pulled by reindeer. ”Edmund had eaten too much candy and was already feeling a little uncomfortable, but now it was even more uncomfortable to hear Lucy say that the witch she had befriended was an evil and dangerous person.But now his mind is full of thoughts about eating Turkish delight again, and he doesn't care about anything else."
Who told you about the White Witch," Edmund asked."
It's the goat, Mr.

Tumnath told me."
Lucy replied."
Don't take that goat's word too much."
Edmund said in a deliberate gesture that he knew more than Lucy."
Who said he couldn't be trusted," Lucy asked."
Everybody knows," replied Edmund, "you can ask anyone, but it's not wise to stand in the snow all the time, so we'd better hurry home." ”"Well, then let's go home," Lucy said to him, "Oh, Edmund, I'm glad you're here, and now the two of them must believe in Narnia, because we've both been to the forest, and it's a very interesting thing." ”However, Edmund always felt that this was not as fun for him as Lucy thought, and that he would have to admit to the two older children that Lucy was right, and that they would be on the side of the sheep monster like Lucy, but he himself had chosen to side with the witch.He didn't know what he was supposed to say, and he didn't know what he was going to do to keep his secret once everyone brought up Narnia.They walked together for a while, and soon felt that they were no longer surrounded by branches but by leather coats.In a few moments, the two of them were standing in an empty room outside the large closet."
Hey," Lucy looked at Edmund, "why is your face so horrible, Edmund, are you uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine," Edmund replied to her, but he didn't mean it, because he was actually very uncomfortable at the moment."
Then let's go," said Lucy to him, "and the two of us went to them, and since we had gone there together, and those wonderful encounters had happened, we had much to say to them." ”t1706231537:
