"Is this ......?" Lin Xiaoyou's face was slightly gloomy, pretending to be puzzled.

Qianqian hurriedly smiled: "She is my maid, Xinlian." As he spoke, he turned his head and asked, "Is the palace banquet over?"

"The palace banquet has long been dismissed, and the young lady can't be found anywhere, and the master and the young master have already returned home. Madame didn't know if she left, and I was looking for you everywhere. Xinlian walked into the pavilion full of resentment, blaming her unkindly face, as if she was a young lady and Qianqian was a maid. When he saw Lin Xiaoyu sitting together, his face was flustered, and his attitude, which was still strong just now, instantly turned around, "The slave maid has seen the princess, but I don't know that the princess is here, please forgive me." She respectfully saluted Lin Xiaoyu alone, and ignored Qianqian, who was her real master.

Lin Xiaoyou looked her up and down for a while, "It seems that the feng shui of the Taishi Mansion is very nurturing, and this maid has developed the temper of the young lady." Just now, the princess thought that it was the young lady of which family had arrived. It's all because this princess is not good, and when she saw Sister Qianqian fall in love, she pulled her to sit together, which added trouble to you. The amiable voice was not displeased, but sounded more like a joke between sisters amusing each other.

"The slave didn't dare. Xinlian was originally worried that Lin Xiaoyou would punish her, but she didn't expect her to say this, she quickly peeked at her, and saw that her harmless look didn't look like lying, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart before getting up. She had seen two people sitting here, but she hadn't looked closely at who they were. The young lady of her family, not to mention her humble birth, rarely goes out on weekdays and has no friends and sisters, and the identity of being able to sit with her is not very good. With this idea, he did not change, and still acted arbitrarily and recklessly as in private.

Claiming to be a slave, it seems that she still recognizes her identity. Lin Xiaoyou sneered, slapped the pavilion rail, and scolded: "Kneel." "She has always been gentle with people, whether it is the people around her or not, she treats everyone equally and treats them with courtesy. But this Xinlian is too much in her eyes, as Sister Qianqian's maid, not only does she not help the village, but she falls into the well like others. This is still the case with the carry-on maids, not to mention others.

Lin Xiaoyou suddenly attacked, Xinlian was unguarded, her legs were weak, and she knelt on the ground with a "poof".

Not to mention Xinlian, even the silent Qianqian was also startled by the mutated Lin Xiaoyou.

"As a maid, squeezing the master, the following offenses, this is one of them. There is no one in the eyes, and the self-righteous mouth does not choose to speak, this is the second one. Acting without permission and not following the rules is the third one. Fifty of his own palms as a sign of punishment. Lin Xiaoyou's expression was cold, and without waiting for Xinlian to quibble, she mercilessly counted her charges.

Xinlian was stunned and stunned, and there was an indescribable momentum, especially her sharp gaze, which made people chill. didn't dare to make a mistake, turned his head to look at Qianqian for help.

On weekdays, even if she loses her temper with her in the house, she doesn't know how to restrain herself when she comes out, and she still has no rules to do her own thing. Now that I hit the knife, I know that I think of her, but it's too late. This time, Lin Xiaoyu didn't stand up for her, and she wouldn't be patient. Qianqian played with the flowers in her hand seriously, directly ignoring the anxious gaze for help.

"Do it yourself, or let the princess ask the grandmother in the palace to teach you the etiquette rules, you can do it. Lin Xiaoyou stared at her and whispered.

At this moment, seeing that Qianqian ignored her, Xinlian flashed with resentment, and lowered her head unwillingly and said, "The slave knows her mistake." Gritting his teeth and raising his hand, he began to palm.

She knew that doing it herself was just a punishment, and if she really had to wait for the princess to call someone, there would be only one way to die. Slut, today's shame, when you return home, you will definitely pay it back twice. Xinlian was full of resentment, and while fighting, she counted all today's shame on Qianqian's head. If it weren't for her, why would she have suffered this sin.

By the time she finished her fifty beatings, her beautiful little face was already red and swollen, "Princess, madam, the slave knows her mistakes, and she won't dare next time." Xinlian held back the anger in her heart and begged for mercy in a low voice.

"Princess, since Xinlian knows that she is wrong, let her be spared this time. As the saying goes, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, she doesn't understand the rules, and she blames me. "Give her a lesson, don't go too far, Qianqian pleaded appropriately.

"Do you know what's wrong?" Lin Xiaoyou smiled slightly, and his warm gaze burst into a little cold light.

Xinlian nodded with a shudder, "Slaves and maids are not distinguished from dignity and inferiority, and they are arrogant, so they are rude." What the princess taught her was that in the future, the slaves and maids must be cautious in their words and deeds, and dare not overstep. ”

What he said in front of her was good, who knows what kind of revenge she would give Sister Qianqian after she went back. Lin Xiaoyou pulled out a very shallow mockery, got up and paced in front of her, "Open your mouth." As he spoke, he took out a black pill.

"Doing, doing what?" asked Xinlian in a trembling voice. She has already admitted her mistake, will the princess still not let her go? Looking at the black pill, she was really afraid, crying and begging Qianqian for mercy: "Madam, the slave knows her mistake, and she will never dare to bully you in the future. ”

Qianqian doesn't know why, although Xinlian is bullying, but in the end, she is not guilty of death, "Princess ......"

Before the words of pleading were spoken, Lin Xiaoyou stopped: "Sister Qianqian, if you don't teach her today, she will teach her a lesson tomorrow." This is still the case with personal maids, let alone other people. As he spoke, he grabbed Xinlian's chin, forcibly stuffed the medicine into her mouth, and gently slapped it behind her back, and the pill rolled into her abdomen.

"It's poison, it eats away at your internal organs, it rots through your intestines and dies. I will give the antidote to Sister Qianqian, and if you are obedient, I will give you the antidote once a month. If you're doing the same thing as before, or behind your back, you're going to die. ”

Xinlian was shocked, and there was a thick fear in her eyes, but she had already taken the medicine, and she couldn't vomit if she wanted to. "Don't worry, the princess, the slave doesn't dare. ”

Lin Xiaoyou nodded, turned around and winked at Qianqian, revealing a mischievous evil smile. What kind of poison was it just now, it was just an ordinary pill she carried with her, deliberately scaring Xinlian. Sister Qianqian is helpless in the Taishi Mansion, and even the maids around her are high and low, which shows how sad her life is. Now that we finally met, for the sake of Qianqian, she is going to be a villain today.

Symbolically took out a small bag and handed it to Qianqian, "Sister Qianqian, this is the antidote, if this girl is good, give her one in January, if the table is not good, you can look at it yourself." ”

Qianqian suddenly realized that she immediately understood Lin Xiaoyu's intentions. got up and gently took it, then saluted, and reluctantly left with Xinlian.

Seeing Qianqian's back disappear, Lin Xiaoyou returned to the Imperial Garden. Sure enough, the banquet ended, everyone dispersed, and only the palace people who came and went were busy cleaning up the last mess. The suddenly deserted scene, without the lively atmosphere, even the flowery imperial garden cannot escape the loneliness and helplessness of the ancient court. The huge contrast is really like a dream.

"Princess, let's go too. Beiming, who was waiting on the side, watched Lin Xiaoyou come over, and walked forward quickly and said.

Lin Xiaoyou nodded lightly, his eyes swept around, and he couldn't help asking, "What about the prince?"

"The master has something to do, so he left first, and specially ordered his subordinates to wait for the princess to return home. Beiming replied respectfully.

"It's just right, out of sight and out of mind. Lin Xiaoyou muttered a sentence to herself, seemingly not caring, but muttered in her heart: Damn Xiahou Yichen, what is so important, leave her alone and run away. Participated in the palace banquet, and in the evening, everyone reunited with the family in the house to admire the moon, she really didn't want to stay in this place for a moment, her thoughts shuttled, and the steps of leaving became more and more neat.

The sound of mosquitoes and flies naturally came into Beiming's ears, and the indifferent handsome face twitched slightly, did the two of them quarrel again?

"Beiming, do you feel that when we came to the palace banquet today, everyone's eyes were so strange, and they seemed to be surprised. Even if the prince is a little better-looking, it shouldn't be this reaction, right?" Thinking of the scene when he entered the palace, the doubts that had been muffled in his heart, Lin Xiaoyou finally asked puzzled.

Beiming was silent for a while when he heard this, and then said slowly: "Since the death of the queen mother twelve years ago, the master has not participated in the palace banquet in the Mid-Autumn Festival palace. ”

The casual words carried a cold chill, but they smashed on Lin Xiaoyu's head like thunder. The swift footsteps staggered, and the question that was still confusing just now suddenly opened up because of Beiming's words.

No wonder, no wonder those people were so surprised and excited to see them coming. suddenly recalled the sad expression of Xiahou Yichen at the banquet. A qiē, all kinds of things show that Xiahou Yichen is not as free and easy as he seems on the outside, but like her, he has a painful past, and even more than her. Lin Xiaoyou looked at Beiming in surprise, like a fish in his throat and didn't know how to answer. "Well, why is he? Why is he here today?"

"Because of you, Princess. ”

Because of her, Xiahou Yichen made an exception to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet that he had not attended for more than ten years? Lin Xiaoyu blinked, and his thoughts became more and more confused. Seeing that Beiming didn't mean to explain, she didn't want to ask more, so she had to get into the carriage and go home.
