At this time, Princess Anle was furious in her room. Everything she could throw was smashed by her. There was also an unlucky maid who didn't know how she provoked Anle and was being beaten severely. Moreover, she was directly facing Anle's room.
In the yard at the door, several servants pushed her down to the ground, waving special wooden sticks, crackling and beating her, and did not allow the maid to make a single sound. The poor girl bit her lips tightly, and was already in danger.
.
Mingzhu was angry in her heart. She came from modern times. In her consciousness, everyone is equal. Even a princess cannot treat a servant like this! But she knew that now was not the time to argue with Anle about these things. After all, she had more to do.
Important things need to be done, so An Le cannot be angered.
But she couldn't do it like others and just watch the girl die innocently. Mingzhu stood in the crowd and thought about it. She had an idea and was about to enter Anle's room.
But as soon as she moved, she felt someone pulling her. When Mingzhu turned around, it turned out that it was the housekeeper who grabbed her sleeve.
Just as Mingzhu was about to speak, the housekeeper signaled her to be silent with his eyes, and then dragged her to a place a little further away from the house.
Then he asked quietly:
"Miss Fang, do you have something to do with the princess?"
"right."
"If the matter is not too urgent, we might as well wait until tomorrow. The princess is very angry today, and whoever offends her will not end well. Look, isn't that girl an example?"
"Thank you for your kindness, butler. I'm not in a hurry, but I still want to go in and talk to the princess. Maybe I can take the opportunity to persuade the princess and stop her from being angry, so everyone doesn't have to worry." Mingzhu.
As he spoke, he looked at the girl who was being tortured, "Otherwise, if the beating continues, her life may not be saved. So I have to ask the housekeeper to do me a favor later."
"Miss Fang is kind-hearted, but the princess is not easily persuaded. I have been in the princess's house for so many years, and I know her temper best..." When the housekeeper heard that Mingzhu asked him to help, he quickly shied away.
Mingzhu despised the housekeeper's behavior of protecting one's own safety without any sense of justice, but after thinking about it, she couldn't be too harsh on the housekeeper. After all, with a master like Anle, everyone has to be careful. After all, this is a feudal society with no human rights.
In society, if you mess with An Le, you may be the next unlucky one.
Mingzhu suppressed the disdain in her heart and said:
"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to mess with the princess. I'll go in and tell the princess later. She will probably order you to take this girl elsewhere to beat her. Then you will be merciful and don't beat her again."
At least let her live."
"Oh, this is easy. Don't worry, girl. I also have a daughter. As long as I have a way, I am not willing to do more killings."
"Okay, thank you butler." Mingzhu said and was about to leave.
The housekeeper warned her again:
"Girl, be careful."
Mingzhu felt helpless. She was obviously doing the most normal thing, but in the eyes of others, it seemed like she was going to die. This was really an unreasonable world.
When Mingzhu walked into Anle's house, there was almost no place to stay on the ground, and there were almost no complete things in the house. Anle stood in the middle of the house, looking fiercely at the girl who was being tortured in the courtyard, with flashing eyes.
Feeling the pleasure of venting. Mingzhu couldn't help but suspect that Anle couldn't relieve his anger by throwing anything, so he wanted to see a person tortured to death with his own eyes!
She really didn't understand how a beautiful girl could be so vicious.
"Princess." Mingzhu walked to Anle and called softly.
Anle didn't even look back, still looking at the beaten girl, and didn't talk to Mingzhu.
Mingzhu no longer expected Anle to know any manners, and just said to herself:
"Princess, it's getting late now. It's not appropriate to watch any more of these brutal scenes. Watching too much will affect the princess's complexion."
"Affects the complexion?" Mingzhu's words finally attracted Anle's attention. In her opinion, her complexion was much more important than other people's lives.
"Yes, these scenes and sounds will affect people's sleep, and night is the best time to take care of your appearance. If you don't take care of your appearance well in one night, you won't be able to recover after a few days. The princess's body is important,
It’s not worth it if you hinder the princess’ appearance for these stupid girls.”
Now when it comes to skin care and makeup, Anle is obedient to Mingzhu's advice, so when he heard what Mingzhu said, he immediately ordered:
"Come here, drag this bitch far away and continue beating her. Don't let her stop, but don't let me hear the sound either."
"Yes." The housekeeper hurriedly came over. When he raised his head, he just met Mingzhu's eyes. The housekeeper calmly nodded slightly and led the people away. Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she knew,
This girl's life was temporarily saved.
Seeing the girl being taken away, Mingzhu looked inside the house again:
"Princess, this place is too messy and makes people upset. Why don't we let them clean it up and let's go for a walk elsewhere. Just in time, I brought back some interesting things for the princess."
As soon as he heard that there was something new, Anle also became interested:
"Okay, let's change places and go."
As she spoke, she raised her legs and walked out of the house. But as soon as she stepped down, she happened to see a fragment of a vase. Anle was upset and kicked the fragment out without even taking a second look. Mingzhu followed her.
Behind him, he was secretly angry:
'This peace and happiness is so arrogant and extravagant. Does she know how many rare treasures she has broken with her anger? How long can ordinary people like Lizi's parents live with these things?'
Mingzhu felt that she could no longer accept Anle.
There are many courtyards in the princess's mansion, and there are several places for Anle to rest. Each place is carefully cleaned and arranged every day, so that if Anle wants to go somewhere on a whim, he doesn't have to clean up the house temporarily.
Therefore, the two of them immediately found another place where they could talk. This bedroom was even more luxurious than the previous one, with flowers, fruits and vegetables placed on the table, waiting for the owner's arrival at any time.
"What did you want to show me?" Anle asked after sitting down.
"Princess, please take a look." Mingzhu took out the 'balls of thread'.
Anle took it and squeezed it with his hands, then looked at the light, showing some disappointment:
"It's quite beautiful. What is this?"
"Back to Princess, this is a kind of sachet that comes from a very far away place."
"Sachet?" Anle raised the ball of thread to his nose and smelled it, "It smells quite good, but it doesn't seem like a fragrance."
Mingzhu smiled slightly and sat down opposite Anle:
"Princess, please listen to my explanation slowly. Far away from the Central Plains, there is a nation whose women are extremely beautiful. Every powerful and wealthy man has countless concubines, but they
The national custom is very strange. Women must be wrapped tightly from head to toe, with only two eyes exposed. Neither appearance nor figure is allowed to be exposed."
"There is such a nation!" Anle showed a look of disgust.
Mingzhu understood what she meant. From Anle's point of view, not showing her face would be more painful than death. Mingzhu continued:
"So those women tried their best to make various sachets, hang them indoors and wear them on their bodies, so that they can show their unique charm through these fragrances." Mingzhu made up nonsense.
"For example, this kind of sachet is hung on the bed curtain. If you put some fascinating spices in it, it may be more able to attract your husband's attention."
Mingzhu had vaguely guessed the reason why Anle was angry today, so she deliberately brought the topic to this aspect.
Sure enough, Anle's attitude changed a bit. She raised the 'thread ball' again and looked at it carefully:
"Is this the intoxicating spice you mentioned?"
Mingzhu smiled:
"Even if I have the courage, I wouldn't dare to send those things to the princess. Here is another kind of spice, which can calm people's nerves and make them feel at ease. If you hang such a sachet in the bed tent,
After sleeping one night, the princess will feel particularly energetic and look good when she wakes up early the next morning."
"Is it useful?" As soon as he heard that these medicines were only used to calm the nerves, Anle suddenly lost interest.
Mingzhu felt a little helpless:
'This Anle can be regarded as a beauty, but why is she so nymphomaniac? She must get her hands on the men she values. Alas, maybe she regards men as rare treasures and cannot tolerate the things she values.
, does not belong to her. I really don’t know whether it is lucky or unfortunate for the man she values to be.'
Although she was thinking this in her heart, what Mingzhu said was something else:
"Princess, why don't you try this sachet tonight? The princess is angry today and will inevitably be upset at night. If you wake up tomorrow morning, it will definitely affect the color around your eyes. And if the princess uses it, I guarantee
The princess will feel refreshed tomorrow morning and all the unhappy things have been forgotten. Besides, I have never used this thing. If it is really effective, I can help the princess find other spices."
"Okay then. You can help me put it on," Anle said.
Mingzhu received permission and immediately walked to the bedside and hung four sachets on the four corners of the bed tent:
"Okay, princess, you are tired today. Go to bed early and try the effect of this sachet."
Mingzhu retreated from Anle's room and walked alone to the garden of the Princess Mansion. The moon was very bright tonight, and the gentle moonlight illuminated the garden like a fairyland. The scenery in front of her was beautiful and peaceful, but Mingzhu's heart was full of
