Chapter XVI Special Prohibitions

"What did you do, you have to be punished for three days and not allowed to eat, if you don't eat for three days, you probably won't have the strength to work well, it's too harsh." A cold and arrogant voice came from behind the middle-aged female officer.

A noble woman in a gorgeous red gold silk robe stood there, followed by a handmaid with a small face raised, looking worriedly at the handmaid who had been slapped by the female official and was full of slap prints.

Seeing that the person who came was such a gorgeous person, and that it was an unfamiliar face, the maidservant girl couldn't help but be a little nervous.

The middle-aged female official saw that the person she had never seen before, but she looked a little surprised in a gorgeous costume, and after her eyes rolled around, she stepped forward to flatter her as if she had suddenly realized: "Ah, are you the concubine Rin?" ”

The little owl shouted: "Presumptuous! Min Lu's female official has been waiting in the Night King's Mansion for a day or two, so don't you salute when you see Concubine Rin? ”

The female officer named Min Lu was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground, and her emaciated cheeks suddenly became gloomy. Because the Night King's palace has never invited other concubines to stay, and today's busyness is also prepared for Concubine Rin after receiving the will from above, I didn't expect that Concubine Rin, who has always been treated coldly, would enjoy such love, and she should also serve carefully, lest the title of female official obtained by working for most of her life would be so easily wasted.

"Please forgive the mother, the slave maid has not seen Concubine Rin, but I just want to confirm it, because the other concubines in the harem have pretended to be others to enter the Night King's Palace, so the slave maid does not dare to do this." Female officer Min Lu explained fearfully.

Liuyanqing made a gesture to the little owl, and after a while, many handmaidens behind him helped the punished handmaiden up.

Liuyan said solemnly: "Answer my question just now!" ”

Min Lu cautiously glanced behind her, and then replied: "Back to Niangniang, the slave is just doing her job as a female official, because this slave broke the king's tea bowl, so she must be punished, otherwise she will not have a long memory in the future." ”

Liu Yanqing glanced at the porcelain fragments on the ground, picked them up, looked left and right, and then said: "Anyway, this is not a valuable item, if it is broken, it will be broken, and the new will not go to the old one, if because of your punishment, this servant girl will be treated without eating for three days, then the work that belongs to this servant girl will not be done by anyone, you are also a person who has come over, won't there be a difference when you do things for the first time?" ”

The voice of the smoke echoed in the corridor, and this kind of righteous and considerate words felt a little warm in this deserted place, I don't know when, many people had gathered around here, although they were all pretending to be working, but they were all secretly looking at this side, and everyone's faces gradually became gentle.

Seeing this, the female officer Min Lu couldn't find a suitable word to refute for a while, and probably thought of the former self who loved to make mistakes, and her expression gradually softened.

"What the mother taught is that the slave will never dare next time." Min Lu said.

Liuyanqing shook his head: "Probably because of serving by the side of the Night King, everyone's spirit is more nervous, this concubine hopes that this kind of thing will not happen in the future, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, if you understand, continue to do your thing." ”

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone."

Liu Yanqing relieved his heart, if this female official is punished, then there will definitely be more victims in the future, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, if you want to solve the problem, you must start from the root cause and let them understand deeply, this is Liuyanqing's own way.

Everyone present admired Liuyanqing's decisiveness and wisdom, and cast grateful glances at him, but he didn't expect that the noble concubine would bother for the little slave.

"Xie Rin, Concubine Rin, the slave is flattered, and I don't know how to repay Concubine Rin." The punished maidservant knelt down in front of the smoke and said.

"Hurry up, Concubine Ben can't tolerate this kind of twisting and pinching in front of her, let's go and rest first." Liuyan said lightly.

Liu Yanqing looked to the side casually, but found that the eyes of many maids who had been doing things before met him, and then quickly moved away, fled in a panic, and continued to do the work in his hands.

Liuyanqing chuckled: "I didn't expect this place to be full of human feelings." ”

After passing through the long pavilion, you will come to the main hall of the Night King, the main hall is very wide, probably really as those maids said, this night king's palace is usually received by the night king There are not many guests, but there are only tables and chairs placed on the staircase in the center and there is no other place for the guests to rest, and this decoration and scenery at first glance looks like the emperor's court, but the night king does not like the bright color of the curtains, and they are replaced with dark purple, and the whole hall looks very dark.

The maidservants brought the smoke into the top of the second floor, which was divided into two sides, a spacious bedroom on one side, and an attic with a view of the nearby scenery.

"Huh? Over there...... Is the bazaar over there? So many people. Liuyanqing rushed to the corner of the pavilion and looked at the prosperity in the distance and exclaimed, wishing that he was in it, eating delicious food while watching the roadside vendors selling strange things.

Xiao Yu leaned over to Liuyanqing's side at this time and explained with a smile: "I remember that Niangniang once said that she didn't like that kind of lively place, so she never mentioned it in front of Niangniang, from here through the two markets is the palace of the Wind Spirit Kingdom, and the high buildings and city walls over there are the exterior of the palace." ”

Liuyanqing looked curiously in the direction pointed by the little owl, and sure enough, surrounded by thick smoke, he could vaguely see the black top, which was really like being isolated from the world.

Compared to being in the palace, it is much better to be born in the Night King's Mansion, rather than never having freedom, it is better to choose to do things next to the violent monarch, at least there are no eternal rules in the palace.

The buildings of the Night King's Palace are just right, and they can be seen all around, with a lively street market on one side, and a mountain forest surrounded by mountains on the other, and a soldier's training ground in the backyard of the Night King's Palace on one side, and the main entrance of the Night King's Palace on the other.

Just when Liuyanqing was curious to look at the side to watch, but suddenly attracted by the figure pushing and shouting at the main gate, I saw a woman in a big red duck who was about to break in, because her face was veiled, so she couldn't see her face clearly, the maid behind her didn't know whether to follow or not, and when she was hesitating, the guards behind her blocked the way, and the veiled woman was pushed out of the door, but she didn't know what she was saying. This unusual behavior made Liuyanqing notice.

"Little Oy, go and see what's going on."

Xiao Yu followed the prestige, sighed and said: "Niangniang, you don't know, this must be the concubine of the Night King's harem, probably thinking about seeing the Night King is so anxious, if they are not allowed to come in without the consent of the Night King, the Night King will definitely not let us go in the future." ”

"It's really strange that the Night King will either let them in, or he will visit the concubines who are not favored, and it is no wonder that there is jealousy between women, and it is no wonder that this is also the case in my time, which was bred from ancient times." Liuyanqing muttered.

I thought that the concubine who wanted to see the Night King would stop there, but to everyone's surprise, she simply stood outside the door and wandered, and one of the slaves who came to her thoughtfully added a chair to her.

Seeing this, the leading soldier shook his head helplessly, indicating that there was nothing he could do to scoop her.

"What is it that doesn't want the concubines to enter this Night Palace?" Liuyanqing muttered suspiciously.

The little owl replied at this time: "Niangniang doesn't know, this night king's palace is equal to the night king's treasure, this palace was established by the first emperor for the night king, it is said that the emperor and the emperor gather here every time the night king is born, outsiders are not allowed to enter, probably for the night king only the night king's approval of the niangniang will get such an honor." After a pause, Xiao Yu continued: "However, I didn't expect that it was you who got such an honor, which also made the slave and maid stained." ”

Liuyanqing sneered: "This is probably a fantasy, how could the Night King let me come here, it's impossible to think about it." ”

The corners of the little owl's mouth tugged, and then after looking around, he attached himself to Liuyanqing's ear and said: "It is said that there was once a concubine who sneaked in in the middle of the night and then disappeared for no reason, that is, the period when you were asleep, but these things only spread around our slaves and maids, and no one dared to speak out, so it is estimated that there is something unclean in the palace this night." ”

Liu Yanqing hurriedly made a silent gesture to Xiao Yu, and said: "You are not allowed to say anything about anything in the palace to the second person, Xiao Yu, you are so talkative, you will be caught in the future, and when the time comes, sister, I may not have a chance to save you."

"The slave knows that she is wrong, and she will be careful in the future."

Kong Mingye asked me to go to this Night King's Palace this time, thinking that it was probably for the matter of being Gu last night, is it because of the news?

"Who is so bold here? He sat in front of the palace of the Night King without any scruples, and if the king came back from the early dynasty, according to his rough temperament, he would definitely be severely punished. Liuyanqing said in a low voice.

After a while, the little bird ran back in a panic, and said in shock: "Yu Niangniang, the concubine with the veil is the Snow Concubine, I heard the female officials in the Night King's palace say that this Snow Concubine is the first time to be so angry, in the past, if the Night King was not allowed to come in, the Snow Concubine would not have the courage at all." ”

Liuyanqing was surprised: "Then dare to be so anxious to see the Night King because of something important?" Then why not let her in. ”
