In the study room in the front yard of Prince Xian's Mansion, Feng Guqiu's charming face was filled with cold air, and her slender fingers were tapping the table rhythmically. Kyoupachi, the follower standing below, did not dare to raise his head. Although the master had a bad temper in the past,
He has never looked so gloomy like today. Perhaps it should be said that the master has never been happy since the day the wedding was arranged.
"Did you personally see the girl beside the princess leave the main courtyard?" the uncertain voice asked again.
Jingpachi nodded repeatedly, "But it's the kitchen that people go to." Seeing his master raise his eyebrows, Jingpachi understood, and immediately explained, "The girl who was with me before has already been there."
It turns out that this is what worries Kyoba. Ever since his master told him to pay attention to the movements in the main courtyard, he has never taken it lightly. If he hadn't told something wrong, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to come in and see his master's cold face.
"You can't do anything with her as the daughter of a traitorous general. You go down." Feng Guqiu didn't know what he thought of and waved his hand impatiently.
Kyoupachi retreated in response, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead after leaving the study. The leader of the guards, Longhu, looked at him and smiled, earning a roll of his eyes from Kyopachi.
When Shuizhu arrived in the kitchen, she didn't just smile and talk to anyone. Instead, after asking a few polite questions, she found an empty stove and started simmering soup. At first, others were a little wary of the fact that she was the girl next to the princess.
Seeing how friendly she was, I slowly relaxed my guard.
"Have you heard? The prince likes the princess who is not the one we married into the palace. Otherwise, why would he go to Concubine Rong?" The soft sneers from outside could be heard from some little girls.
The women in the kitchen were nervous and turned around to see Shuizhu not hearing anything, so they couldn't scold the little girl. If Shuizhu used this as an excuse to say something, they would be in trouble.
No one stopped her, and the little girls started talking, and they heard someone take over, "There are so many women in the mansion, and the prince has always doted on Concubine Rong. Who doesn't know? You can't tell who the prince loves in his heart by saying this."
It was someone else, and I heard that our princess stayed in the same room as the dinner prince the night before her wedding."
The woman in the kitchen couldn't stand hearing it anymore, so she went out with a big shovel in her hand, "It's all gone, right?"
The little girls dispersed in a hurry. Unable to catch anyone, the woman in the kitchen stood there and cursed for a while, then entered the kitchen, glanced at Shuizhu coldly, and turned around to go about her work.
The kitchen has always been a place where people are chatting, and now I am really afraid that something will happen. Over the years, nothing major has happened, but now that the princess has entered the palace, I hope it will still be as peaceful as before.
Just because I was afraid that something would happen, I heard a burst of crisp laughter, and a pretty girl walked in, "Mother Wang, have the bird's nests our master asked for been stewed?"
Then he saw the unfamiliar Shuizhu and was slightly startled. Then a smile appeared on his face, "It looks familiar. Which hospital is your sister from?"
Shuizhu got up and felt blessed, "I am the dowry girl next to the princess. I wonder which hospital my sister is from?"
The delicate girl's eyes flashed, she returned the greeting and said with a smile, "I am Ye Ju next to Concubine Rong."
Concubine Rong Concubine Shui Zhu is very familiar with her. The prince went to Concubine Rong Concubine on the night she got married. People in the palace also responded to Concubine Rong Concubine before. She was also a very important figure.
On the first day of the wedding, she didn't go to see the prince as a gift. The women in the palace were the most adaptable, so naturally they didn't come. This meant that she didn't take the princess seriously.
"That's polite." Shuizhu Luoluo returned the gift generously.
Ye Ju smiled and glanced at the stove, "What are you cooking, sister?"
With a simple look on his face, Shuizhu also grew up in the palace, but he doesn't like this.
"It's just that our princess wants to eat something delicious." She replied without elaborating on what it was. Such a precise answer made Ye Ju feel slightly embarrassed.
The woman over there saw her and hurriedly brought the bird's nest over, "Miss Ye Ju, take the opportunity to go back with the bird's nest."
Ye Ju thanked him, nodded to Shuizhu, and left with the bird's nest.
The woman named Mama Wang looked at Shuizhu and sighed, then turned around and went back to her own business.
Shuizhu knew that she had offended Ye Ju in the kitchen today, but she also had her own integrity. If she was really afraid of the other party and was submissive, she would rather offend the other party.
Carrying the prepared pickled cabbage soup, Shuizhu just walked out of the kitchen yard when he was bumped into by a group of people coming out of the corner. Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard a woman's exclamation, and she screamed secretly.
No, just kneel down on the ground.
"What a blind thing, which hospital are you from?" The woman's curses started to sound.
To be appreciated by her master in the palace, Shui Zhu has always been a person who is good at observing people's emotions. She thought that Ye Ju would be retaliated against if she offended her, but she didn't expect that it would come so quickly.
"Aunt Dong, are you okay?" A pleasant voice answered calmly.
"It's Sister Wang." The person who screamed and cursed was Aunt Dong.
Mrs. Wang walked over and helped her up, "I have a newly made skirt over there, which is perfect for Sister Dong. I originally planned to have someone send it over, but today it's better, it's just time for someone to bring it over to Sister Dong."
The smile on Mrs. Dong's face increased, but she still refused, "It's so embarrassing. It's just that clothes are a trivial matter. It's not okay for people to bump around with hot soup."
Obviously he didn't want to let Shuizhu go.
Wang smiled faintly and didn't say anything more. She just looked at Shuizhu with more sympathy in her eyes.
"Come here, take this unruly girl and punish her with twenty canes. Call all the servants in the house who are not on duty to have a look, so that everyone can learn to behave." Not only do you have to beat people, but you also have people watching.
, leaving no dignity at all for Shuizhu.
Shuizhu gritted his teeth tightly and even begged for mercy without making a sound. This made Ms. Dong, who had taken advantage, feel that even though she clicked on the peak, it was still like a punch on cotton, and she felt very upset.
When Mrs. Wang saw her servant being carried away, she glanced at the soup on the ground and said to Mrs. Dong, "I won't bother you any more, sister."
The Dong family has never paid attention to the Wang family. In terms of wealth, the Wang family is one level higher than the Dong family. After all, the Wang family is a lady from an official family. Although she is a concubine, she is better than the Dong family.
She was born as a daughter, but the Dong family always carried the characteristics of a businessman. She was rich and felt superior to others. She was the legitimate daughter of the family. The Wang family was a concubine, so she naturally looked down upon her.
Mrs. Wang is known as a good-natured person in the house because of her weak temper. She will help anyone when she sees something. At first, Ms. Dong naturally regarded her as a thorn in his side. After getting to know her for a long time, she also knew that she had no side effects.
His heart and temperament made him too lazy to argue with her.
Even though Dong was the most arrogant and domineering person in the house, he was also the best at coaxing Concubine Rong. Having Concubine Rong as his backer was also the reason why he could be so arrogant in the house.
But in the eyes of outsiders, Mrs. Dong was just a dog raised by Concubine Rong, and she would bite anyone she was told. She was the only one who managed to get into Concubine Rong's eyes because of her good luck.
When Shuizhu was brought to the big yard, a long board had been set up there. After being pushed up by two girls, people were also tied to it. People gradually gathered in the yard, and Mrs. Dong supported the girl.
The hand came in.
Sitting on the Taishi chair, he took a sip of tea and said, "Hit."
The muffled sound of the crackling board beating flesh could be heard in the yard. As soon as it went down, red was visible on Shuizhu's clothes behind him. The bloody scene made all the servants present blush, and secretly admired them in their hearts.
This girl could remain silent even after being beaten.
"I said why can't I find my girl? Who is beating people? You didn't ask me to come with you to see the excitement." With a sneer, Mu Lingxue walked in through the path made by the crowd.
With bright lips, bright teeth, bright eyes, good dimples, and beautiful appearance, as soon as Mu Lingxue appeared on the stage, the surrounding people were shocked and fell silent. With the bright smile on her face, she believed that with her
The appearance has this ability.
It's obvious that you can't take your eyes away from her beauty, but if you take a closer look at her dress, you can see that she can't be more simple than simple. It can be seen that people are born with beauty, and it cannot be set off by appearance.
"You..." Mrs. Dong felt jealous when she saw the strange and beautiful woman in front of her. For a moment, she couldn't remember when there was such a person in her house.
Mu Lingxue did not look at her, but only glanced at Qiangwei beside her. Qiangwei was also used to pretending to be powerful, and shouted in a cold voice, "How dare you say 'you' and 'mine' when you meet the princess? Where did you learn this?"
rules?"
As soon as she heard that she was the princess, Qiangwei's voice was so high-pitched that the servants around her were afraid of being implicated. In an instant, all the servants knelt on the ground, except Mrs. Dong, who was still sitting stiffly on the Taishi chair.
"Who is sitting in front of me? I haven't come here to meet the princess yet." Qiangwei followed Ben, who was always a bully, and looked directly at Mr. Dong.
Mrs. Dong then stood up unwillingly and pretended to be blessed, "I, Mrs. Dong, have met the princess."
Mu Lingxue looked at her with a faint smile, and her voice sounded softer like the moonlight in the night, "When did the house have such a rule that I have to teach the servants around the princess?"
Mrs. Dong bit her lip and raised her head in dissatisfaction, "Princess, I don't know if this servant hadn't brought hot soup and burned my body. Although my body is strong enough to be a grown-up, I can't be tricked by a villain, but there are many rich people in this house."
, If you don’t pursue it like this, wouldn’t it violate the rules of the house?”
"You have to be generous and generous. Aunt Dong is half a master, so why bother with a servant? And even if you give her a hundred courages, she wouldn't dare to pour hot soup on her, right?"
"
Mu Lingxue looked at her with a smile and deliberately emphasized the word "splash".
Dong was used to being willful before she got married, and she was used to being aggressive after arriving at the palace. She didn't take Mu Lingxue seriously at the moment, "I'm afraid the princess made a mistake. I didn't say that this person deliberately attacked me."
Splashed on body."
Mu Lingxue was waiting for her to say this, "Oh, then this is even worse. Our prince is known as leisure, and a sage is a wise and talented person. In ancient times, there was a saying that a virtuous minister is far away from a villain.
Just because a servant accidentally knocked soup on a concubine in the palace, he was subjected to such a beating. Wouldn't it be a disgrace to the prince's reputation if word spread about it?"
"What a dear and wise minister, the princess is indeed the most talented woman in the Eastern Jin Dynasty." Feng Guqiu came over with his signature smile.
