Today is the birthday of King Li of the Xia Dynasty.
The huge palace was enveloped in a busy and tense atmosphere.
Everyone was so busy that they almost didn’t touch the floor, because today is a special day. Not only is it King Li’s twentieth birthday, but it is also the big day when Princess Li will come to the palace in the future. So although everyone is very busy, they still have a feeling in their hearts.
We are so excited that we can finally get a glimpse of Princess Li's true face in Lushan. How can everyone not be excited?
However, what is completely different from the hustle and bustle in the front yard is that even on such a festive day, there is still a place in the backyard of the palace that seems particularly quiet and harmonious.
In the abandoned yard, on an old tree with dense leaves, a girl in servant clothes was sleeping on it with her legs crossed.
The warm sunshine shines through the branches and shines on her delicate face, making her look strangely peaceful and harmonious.
Occasionally there were a few birds flying around and making one or two crisp bird calls, but other than that, everything was peaceful.
At this time, the courtyard door opened, and the sound of hurried footsteps, accompanied by the angry voice of the visitor, finally broke the tranquility in the courtyard.
"Su Chen, come down here. What time is it now? You actually dare to hide here and sleep. Don't you know that the front yard is very busy and there are not enough people?"
Hearing this loud sound, the girl on the tree couldn't help but be woken up no matter how easy she slept.
The girl frowned slightly, opened her eyes lazily, looked lazily at the furious woman under the tree, yawned slightly, and then said in a nonchalant tone: "Aunt Hu, you don't know what it means to disturb others' rest.
Isn’t it very immoral?”
The woman called Aunt Hu was a woman over forty, plump and slightly obese. When she heard Su Chen's words, her already angry expression became even more angry. A piece of paper in her hand
The kitchen knife was suddenly raised, and under the sunlight, a few rays of cold light were reflected, hitting Su Chen's face.
"Is it reasonable for you, a little girl, to be lazy?"
Aunt Hu, named Hu Lan, was the cook of Prince Li's Mansion. She should have been busy in the kitchen at this time, but she heard someone complaining that Su Chen was lazy again, so she couldn't help but come to look for her without even having time to put down the kitchen knife.
Glancing at her, Su Chen sighed silently in his heart. Under Aunt Hu's urgent gaze, she reluctantly climbed down from the tree.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, her arms suddenly tightened. She turned around and saw that it was Aunt Hu who grabbed her hand and carried her out of the yard like a chicken.
"Hey, I'll leave on my own, don't do anything." Su Chen really couldn't compliment Aunt Hu's rudeness. The rough palm made her tender hands ache.
Aunt Hu carried her forward, then suddenly stopped and looked back at her, her eyes full of sorrow and hatred.
"Do you think I care about you? If your parents hadn't taken care of you before they died, would I have bothered you so much now?"
