The woman behind was startled by her stare, and waved her hands repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I...I didn't mean to..."
The woman who fell took a look at her skirt, and there was a footprint on the hem of her skirt. She was so angry that she didn't fall hard. She stood up quickly, slapped the woman in the face, and said angrily. : "You're blind! You can step on my skirt even after several steps. You did it on purpose!"
The beaten woman covered her face with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes, but she didn't say a word in reply.
The hostess frowned and walked over. She didn't ask the woman who hit the person, but asked the woman who was beaten: "Yang Xueling, what's going on with you? Can't you even walk? Where are your eyes? You don't have to use them tonight. Eat after you can walk!"
Yang Xueling's lips moved, but she hesitated to speak, but she looked at the female official of the ceremony, and then at the proud woman who beat her, and lowered her head without speaking.
Shen Huan frowned. This etiquette master clearly favored the woman who hit the person. It seemed that this woman's identity was not simple. She must have a lot of backers in the harem, but she didn't know if she was Yao Siying, the niece of the Queen Mother, or the cousin of Concubine Qing. Where is Luo Xia?
If it was the Queen Mother's niece, it might not be easy to handle. Shen Huan was hesitating whether to speak out, but someone was already ahead.
"Aunt Master of Ceremonies, is it inappropriate to punish Xue Ling like this?" The woman's voice was as gentle as the spring breeze in March. Shen Huan was startled after hearing this. When people came and saw her, she saw that she was a woman with extremely delicate features and an amiable appearance.
Seeing that it was her, the Master of Ceremonies smiled and said, "What do you think, Master Shangguan? This is not the first time that Master Xueling has made a mistake, and she even blamed Master Luo Xia, saying it was intentional——"
These few sentences have made the identities of these people clear. It turns out that the one in the forefront is Shangguan Xianya! And the domineering one is Concubine Qing's cousin Luo Xia!
Shangguan Xianya smiled gently and said softly: "I think sister Xueling didn't do it on purpose. Auntie, can you please spare her this time? If you don't eat dinner, I'm afraid it will hurt your body."
At this time, Luo Xia smiled contemptuously and said: "Hurt her body? With her humble body, I'm afraid she won't be able to eat enough at home on weekdays, and she won't starve to death if she doesn't eat for one meal!" After that, she deliberately added, " When it's time to eat, it's like a starving ghost reincarnated. I don't know how many times I've been hungry!" Everyone around them covered their mouths and snickered when they heard this.
Shen Huan's eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper. How could this Luo Xia be so arrogant and vulgar? How could she have the elegant demeanor of Concubine Qing? She thought that Shangguan Xianya would be a responsible person who could come to the rescue when her competitors were insulted. woman
The master of etiquette coughed and said: "Okay! Stop laughing! Everyone go back and stand still! As I said, Mistress Xueling doesn't need to have dinner tonight. Did you hear that?"
"Wait a minute," Shen Huan came out from the darkness and stood in front of everyone. His sharp eyes passed through the stunned eyes of everyone, and finally fell on the face of the etiquette master.
The rank of the Master of Etiquette was only lower than that of Yuqian Shangyi, but she was only responsible for teaching the young masters below the seventh rank, so she didn't know Shen Huan and asked impatiently: "Which palace are you from? How dare you interfere?" What about Chuxiu Palace?"
Shen Huan ignored her, only walked up to Yang Xueling and asked: "Why are you so absent-minded when you are teaching me the rules?"
Yang Xueling cried out with a "woo" and said intermittently: "During lunch... my aunt asked me to trace flowers. When I go... there is no food..."
Shen Huan raised an eyebrow: "So, you didn't eat at noon? Why did my aunt let you draw flowers while eating?"
Yang Xueling glanced at Shen Huan and whispered: "I didn't honor my aunt..."
The etiquette master was furious and raised his hand to hit her on the head, saying: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Shangguan Xianya and a woman with a round face and big eyes beside her hurriedly protected Xue Ling behind them, and said coldly: "Is Auntie getting angry from shame?"
The master of etiquette was indeed ashamed and annoyed on his face, and he glared at Shen Han. Shen Han said disdainfully: "In the palace, there are always things that need to be taken care of, but you shouldn't put your hands on these little masters. They One day, they will all become your masters. At that time, aren't you afraid that they will settle accounts later?"
The face of the etiquette master changed, but Luo Xia smiled arrogantly and said: "Whether you can become the master or not is not up to you! Does she, from a small family like her, deserve to be the master?"
Shen Huan said calmly: "Since you can become the mistress, you will naturally have the opportunity to become the master. You are selected by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother does not mind the differences of the family. Why is this young master questioning the Queen Mother's vision?"
Luo Xia was stunned, her face turned red and white, and she didn't know how to retort. She glanced up and down at Shen Huan. Shen Huan was not wearing court clothes today, but was wearing homely pink palace clothes. She casually pulled up a bun with a hairband to dress up. Similar to the young master, if there were not all fifteen young masters here, it would be suspicious. It is just because of the palace regulations that the new young masters who enter the palace can only wear light pink, light green and white palace clothes. , you can only wear light-colored headbands on your head, and you cannot wear gold and silver jewelry. Luo Xia raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "Where did you run away as a palace maid? How dare you act wild here, and how dare you bring the Queen Mother out to suppress me? How presumptuous!"
