Bai Qiqian glanced there, and when she touched that piece of clothing, her eyes became dark and unpredictable.
Ziyuan knew Bai Qiqian's temperament, and immediately looked at the old nanny with pity in her eyes. Bai Qiqian even dared to hit Mrs. Qiu Jin, let alone an old nanny?
"Yu Jin, the dress over there looks familiar to me. Go and get it for me."
"Yes, Princess." Yu Jin happily ran over and took the clothes for Bai Qiqian.
The moon-white dress has wide sleeves and a few budding plum blossoms embroidered on the cuffs. It is elegant yet charming. This dress is Bai Qiqian's favorite.
Bai Qi looked at the old grandma with a pale smile: "Old grandma, you are the manager here, right?"
When the old grandma saw Bai Qiqian bringing the clothes over, she secretly screamed, "It's terrible." A few days ago, Lin Huanger's personal maid talked to her for a while, and her words clearly hinted to her that she wanted her to wear the clothes.
Bai Qiqian's clothes were washed together with the servants' clothes.
The old grandma did not answer Bai Qiqian's words and continued to cry loudly on the side.
"Ouch, what evil have I done? I'm already old, and I'm being bullied like this. There are no rules in this palace anymore. Ouch... Concubine... Just look at the hard work that has brought you up.
Is my mother being bullied like this?"
"You old shrew, you don't answer the princess's words, you are so impatient." Seeing that the old naughty slave was still messing around, Ziyuan was very angry, "If you want to talk about the rules of the palace, I will let you go first.
See what the rules are."
Zi Yuan was worried, she couldn't let this old naughty slave think that they were easy to bully today, otherwise the wind in the palace would have changed.
Ziyuan slapped the old nanny: "Our princess usually lives in seclusion and doesn't pay much attention to things in the palace. Do you really think that the princess is easy to bully?"
Seeing Ziyuan's enthusiasm, Yu Jin also became interested: "Old Diao Nu, the princess just asked you something and you didn't answer. What kind of rule in the palace is this?"
"It's hard to teach you a lesson. You evil slaves actually oppressed your master." Ziyuan said with a cold face, "Look, I will take care of you on behalf of the princess today."
The old nanny pointed at Ziyuan and cursed: "You little whore, my status in the palace is much higher than yours, what qualifications do you have to beat me? Little whore, today I want to see how powerful you are."
After saying that, she started fighting towards Ziyuan.
Bai Qiqian saw that the situation was not right, so he walked over and kicked the old nanny to the ground: "What a arrogant old naughty slave, who behaves in front of me again and again, who is it?"
The power given to you?”
When the old grandma saw Bai Qiqian acting seriously, she didn't dare to be arrogant anymore.
The people around saw that the vicious old nanny was actually frightened by the princess, and they showed a little more respect to Bai Qiqian.
"I want to ask you, are you the steward here?" Her long eyelashes half-covered her eyes, and her tone was so cold that it made people feel chilly. The air around her seemed to be a bit colder, and the people around her became completely quiet.
"Old slave... is indeed the steward here." The old nanny sat slumped on the ground, not daring to get up.
"As a manager, you should know the rules." Bai Qiqian sneered, then pointed at an old woman casually and asked, "Come and tell me, what is the process of washing clothes in your laundry room?"
of?"
When Bai Qiqian asked the question, the old woman felt a little panicked. She tugged on the corners of her clothes with both hands and muttered: "When I go back to the princess, we will sort and clean the clothes sent by each house.
The clothes of the maids in each room are washed separately, and the clothes of the maids in each room are according to their grades..."
Bai Qiqian waved her hand and interrupted the old woman's speech: "Okay, I just want to know whether the master's clothes are washed separately from the servants' clothes."
The old woman nodded repeatedly: "They are washed separately. The master's clothes are precious, how can they be washed together with the servants' clothes? This is against the rules."
Bai Qiqian looked at the old mama with a half-smile but not a smile: "Mom, tell me, why are my clothes hanging together with the servants' clothes? Is this intentional or a momentary negligence?"
The old mama rolled her eyes: "Princess, there is indeed a clear division of labor in our laundry room. The person responsible for drying the princess's clothes is Magpie. If the princess wants to punish her, just punish her. Humph, that girl is confused and often does the wrong things.
, the princess will punish her well this time to make her remember."
Bai Qiqian nodded to Yujin, and Yujin shouted: "Where's the magpie? Come forward and answer what the princess said."
A weak figure walked out from the crowd, with a pale face and a somewhat panicked look at Bai Qiqian. Before Bai Qiqian could ask a question, she made a "pop" sound and fell to her knees on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy: "
Princess, please forgive me, the magpie accidentally hung the wrong clothes, please forgive the magpie once, the magpie will never make a mistake next time..."
The magpie begged for mercy, but his eyes were looking at the old woman aside.
"Magpie, are you responsible for the princess's clothes?" Ziyuan asked, "You should think it through before you answer."
The old grandma looked at the magpie fiercely and kept winking at her.
Magpie glanced at Bai Qiqian fearfully and nodded: "Yes, Magpie is responsible for the princess's clothes."
Ziyuan nodded, smiled, and signaled Magpie not to be nervous: "Then besides being responsible for the princess's clothes, whose clothes are you also responsible for?" Ziyuan spoke very softly, and she liked this round-faced and honest girl very much.
"There are regulations in the laundry room. Each master's clothes have a dedicated person in charge. In order to avoid mistakes, we are only responsible for one master's clothes. Therefore, the princess's clothes are cleaned, ironed, and dried.
I'm responsible."
"Since you are only responsible for the princess's clothes, how could you make a mistake?" Ziyuan smiled, "Did someone deliberately instruct you to do this?"
Magpie's face turned pale: "My maid... I don't know anything. It's none of my business. The princess, it's really none of my business. My maid..." Magpie was at a loss and couldn't even speak.
It's a bit confusing.
The old grandma yelled and cursed: "Damn little hooves, she can't do anything well. Someone come and drag her down."
Yu Jin immediately shouted: "You old naughty slave, the princess didn't say anything, why are you interrupting here? You don't understand any rules, you should be the one who should be dragged down."
Bai Qiqian glanced at Magpie and said, "Magpie, if you were serious about recruiting me, I won't punish you today. If you have anything to hide, it's no wonder that I'm so unkind."
Magpie's face was pale, and her round eyes looked around pleadingly. However, no one stood up to speak for her.
Bai Qiqian paused and then continued: "Yu Jin, do you still remember those disobedient slaves in the princess's mansion? I don't even know how they are doing now?"
"Princess, you are kind-hearted, so don't worry about those slaves. They are living happily in Cuihong Mansion now." Yu Jin smiled openly, "I think the magpie looks pretty good, maybe I can sell one.
Good price.”
When Ziyuan heard this, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart, but she still said: "Yes, that Cuihong Building often receives various dignitaries. Maybe Magpie is lucky enough to be favored by dignitaries and redeem her life.
"
When Magpie heard this, she was confused. Even if she were killed, she wouldn't be able to go to Cuihong Mansion.
Seeing how pitiful she was, Bai Qiqian felt a little soft in her heart: "Magpie, tell me honestly, did someone ask you to do that, and who was that person?"
Magpie knelt on the ground: "Princess, Princess, please don't sell Magpie to Cuihong Mansion. If my mother finds out, she will definitely be angry to death. Princess, I beg you, please..."
Magpie cried very sadly, as if she was about to be sold to Cuihong Mansion.
"Then you tell the truth." Bai Qiqian glanced coldly, "I am not an unreasonable or troublesome person. As long as I am here, you just tell the truth."
"Our princess has always made clear rewards and punishments. As long as you are innocent in this matter, our princess will definitely give you justice."
The magpie glanced at the old nanny and was heartbroken: "Princess, it was the old nanny who ordered me to do this."
The old mama immediately scolded Magpie with all her face: "You little bitch, I treat you very well, but you actually slandered me in front of the princess. Huh, don't do this job here anymore.
, quickly pack your bags and leave."
"No, Princess, please give me this job. If I don't have a job, my mother won't have money for medical treatment, and she will die... Princess, please do your best and let me continue here.
Work……"
The old nanny kept shouting: "Princess, this little whore has slandered me, she can't stay here anymore."
Bai Qiqian sneered: "She slandered you? What reason did she have to slander you? You, on the other hand, often suppressed and defrauded the servants in the palace. You also ordered the magpie to mix my clothes with the clothes of the servants. You treat me like this
You are disrespectful, and you still have the nerve to cry out in front of me, saying that Magpie has slandered you?"
"I definitely didn't instigate the magpie. I can swear to God." The old nanny howled while secretly winking at the girl she usually favored. The girl understood and hurriedly ran towards Lin Huang'er's building.
Bai Qiqian's lips twitched with a smile. She wanted to know how Lin Huang'er protected the old naughty slave.
"You old naughty slave, I will not punish you today. You are not worthy of the title of Princess. Come here, slap me for thirty times and expel you from the palace." As soon as Bai Qiqian said these words, the expression on the old nanny's face
It changed immediately.
"I am the concubine's mother-in-law. If you dare to treat me like this, you are disrespecting the concubine." If Lin Huang'er is not moved out, she will only be beaten.
"Concubine, huh, if I teach a naughty slave, do you still want to see Concubine's face?" Bai Qi smiled gloomily, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you give me a hard beating?"
