As soon as he entered the door, Su Chen took a general look at the layout of the house.
Although this room is not very good and there is some draft, but fortunately there is a stove in the room, so it is not that cold.
The space in the house was neither big nor small, but there was only one large bed. Seeing the neatly piled quilts on it, Su Chen knew that several people probably lived here.
This made Su Chen very confused. In any case, Mei Niang is now Princess Changle's personal maid. Even if the living conditions of the maids in the palace are poor, Mei Niang will not be allowed to squeeze into a room with so many people.
?
So, Su Chen asked: "Mei Niang, why do you still live with other palace ladies?
Didn’t I already ask you to be the eldest princess’s personal maid?
Why is it treated like this?
Is someone deliberately bullying you?
!”
Seeing Su Chen pressing questions step by step, Mei Niang didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she could only pinch the corner of her clothes uneasily, and then hesitantly said: "Guo Guogong, things are not what you think. Although I am a grown-up now,
The princess's personal maid, but Mother Ma said that I am still young and do not understand etiquette. It is not appropriate to arrange for me to serve the eldest princess at this time. It will take some time..."
Hearing this, Su Chen suddenly became furious!
Since he traveled through time, this was the first time he encountered someone doing something unreasonable and unreasonable to him!
How audacious!
Although Mei Niang's words were said very tactfully, he still directly understood the meaning!
It is clear that he is deliberately suppressing Mei Niang, and he even said that he is still young and does not understand etiquette!
This is complete nonsense!
"What a mama, how dare you go against my will!"
"Don't the queen know about you?"
Su Chen asked.
Facing the angry Su Chen, Mei Niang was even more confused and didn't know how to face it. Her heart was already in a mess.
"No, the Queen is busy with things on weekdays, so she has no time to take care of my servants."
Mei Niang said stumblingly.
Su Chen frowned and thought, and quickly guessed the cause of everything.
Based on his relationship with Empress Changsun, if she knew that Mei Niang was being bullied, she would definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. It was indeed because she was busy with the marriage between the prince and Princess Changle recently, so she did not notice this one of the many maids.
As for Aunt Ma, she probably didn't know the inside story, and she didn't know that she personally wanted Mei Niang to be Princess Changle's personal maid.
In her opinion, Mei Niang might just be chosen by luck, and she is just an unimportant person. She is not required to be Princess Changle's personal maid.
In this era, becoming a princess's personal maid is something that can change your destiny.
With the intrigue in the palace, I don't know how many people want to sit in this position.
In Mei Niang's case, she is now just an ordinary palace maid with no power, and has no qualifications to become Princess Changle's personal maid.
And here in the deep palace compound, the hierarchy among the servants is also very strict.
Even though this nanny is not even an official, she should be able to control the fate of many palace maids.
This is the cruelty of class!
After understanding everything, Su Chen continued to ask: "Let me ask you, did you say that I arranged for you to become the eldest princess's personal maid?"
"have."
Mei Niang nodded slightly, then lowered her head and continued: "However, everyone does not believe what I said, and they all say that I am an idiot and talking about dreams..."
Su Chen didn't feel any surprise about this.
If they believed Mei Niang and knew that she was the person they appointed, would they still dare to treat her like this?
Suddenly, Su Chen glanced casually and saw a scene that made him even more angry!
Mei Niang's originally smooth and delicate hands have become red, bloated, and even have signs of cracking!
Judging from Su Chen's experience, when this happens now, it's usually frostbite caused by too much washing of clothes in cold water!
Although Su Chen didn't understand the system in the palace, she knew that the status of the palace maids who were engaged in this kind of laundry must be the lowest in the palace!
Nowadays, in the coldest month of winter, I feel cold just by the cold wind, let alone soaking my hands in cold water!
Su Chen was angry!
"I'm asking you, have you ever had any disputes with that Aunt Ma?"
"No, I have always been kind to everyone, and Grandma Ma has always been respectful."
"okay, I get it."
After saying that, Su Chen didn't ask any more questions.
She has already seen that the reason why Grandma Chuma treats Mei Niang is obviously out of jealousy!
The palace is inherently a chaotic and dark place, with many unknown dark sides.
Here, the many bad qualities of human nature are vividly displayed!
If a person is good-looking, he will otherwise arouse the jealousy of others, because that good-looking person is likely to be appreciated by the superiors, thus changing his destiny!
There are countless cases like this in ancient and modern times!
Now, Su Chen can finally understand why Mei Niang in her previous life embarked on such a path as an empress.
If it hadn't been for this tragic experience, perhaps her temperament wouldn't have changed so much.
In this kind of environment, it can only be said to be a fate playing tricks on people...
During the period when Su Chen didn't speak, the atmosphere in the room was very stiff, and Mei Niang didn't dare to raise her head to look at Su Chen.
"Duke Protector, why do you appear here?"
Mei Niang summoned up the courage and asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Su Chen put down his thoughts and felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "I got lost, and then I walked and ended up here. Unexpectedly, I met you."
Lost...lost?
At this moment, Mei Niang suddenly felt very funny, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.
It turns out that Lord Protector, whom she has always regarded as noble as a god, also has some shortcomings like ordinary people.
He actually gets lost...
The corners of Mei Niang's mouth unconsciously curved in a way that she didn't notice.
"Well, I don't know the way here, and there's no one around me. You can lead the way for me. I guess Your Majesty and the others are still waiting for me."
Su Chen said.
"good."
Mei Niang knew that a grand banquet was held in the palace today, and all the ministers gathered together, and Su Chen was the protector of the Tang Dynasty, so its importance was self-evident.
His disappearance for so long will definitely make His Majesty and others worried.
Therefore, Mei Niang did not dare to delay anything and planned to take Su Chen directly to Ganlu Palace.
"Duke Protector, let's leave quickly. Mei Niang will lead the way for you."
