Chapter Seventy-Four: Deliberately Making Things Difficult
All the way to the Hall of Affection, Ming Xi felt more and more uneasy, but she didn't do anything, how could she get Lu Guifei to ask her to come over by name.
Sitting on it and drinking hot tea, looking at Ming Xi who was standing aside with her head bowed below, Lu Guifei slowly spoke: "Ming Xi, this palace heard that you did an excellent job with Your Majesty, so I specially asked you to come over." This palace looks unhappy at you, it can't be unwilling, right? ”
After listening to Lu Guifei's words, Ming Xi naturally knew what the result would be if she didn't answer well, and immediately knelt on the ground, "If you go back to Niangniang, it is the blessing of a slave to be able to serve Niangniang, how dare you be dissatisfied." After saying it smoothly, my heart was still beating fast.
Hearing Ming Xi's unhesitating answer, Lu Guifei sneered, "It's not so easy to serve here in this palace, and this palace won't be like Your Majesty, do you know?" ”
"The slave and maid will follow the teachings of the mother, and they will definitely serve the mother well." I didn't dare to delay at all, and replied quickly and firmly.
Lu Guifei nodded, looking like a clever person, but she didn't know if she would answer her question honestly, thinking about this, she opened her mouth there and asked, "What are you responsible for with Your Majesty?" How long have you been doing it? ”
Ming Xi, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't dare to raise his head, and replied honestly, "Hui Niangniang, the slave maid is responsible for cleaning the palace in the imperial study, and she has just been transferred from the Internal Affairs Office for less than three months. ”
I seduced Your Majesty in such a short time, and I'm really a fox, I just don't know what's going on with the star called it.
"Tomorrow evening, this palace advises you to think about it before answering, some words are not something that can be said casually." Lu Guifei warned that if she didn't ask something today, how could she feel at ease.
She didn't understand what Lu Guifei meant, but this was really an errand in the imperial study, and nothing else had been done, for fear of being misunderstood by Lu Guifei, so she hurriedly said, "Niangniang, what the slave said is true, and every time I clean the imperial study, my father-in-law will help watch it, and we, the palace maids, can only clean, not look at it." Ask for a clear understanding. ”
This little hoof is a little interesting, but whether what she said is true or not, don't think about it today, "Caiyu, Mingxi will bump into the palace and teach her a lesson!" ”
"Yes, the slave knows." Caiyu came out after saluting, hooked Mingxi's face with her fingers, and then slapped her hard, ", don't hurry up and tell the truth!" ”
Mingxi cried and shook her head, "Niangniang spare your life, Niangniang spare your life, the slave really hasn't done anything else, Niangniang, spare your life." ”
However, no matter how much she cried and begged for mercy, it was useless, as long as Lu Guifei didn't open her mouth, the people in the Heart Hall would naturally not let her go, and Caiyu slapped her again and again.
Lu Guifei hadn't finished drinking a cup of tea, but Caiyu stopped, "Why don't you fight?" Caiyu, do you want to be punished together? Lu Guifei's coquettish but majestic voice sounded, and she looked at her red hands, so she had to grit her teeth and continue.
After so many slaps, Mingxi's face was already swollen, the finger marks on her cheeks were even more obvious, and the blood stains on the corners of her mouth were not so obvious.
After another quarter of an hour, Lu Guifei put down the teacup in her hand and said casually: "Caiyu stop, Mingxi is the person next to Your Majesty, if it is really broken, Your Majesty will feel distressed if you want to come." ”
Caiyu replied in a low voice and stood aside. wonderful
Looking at Ming Xi's miserable face, Lu Guifei felt that the tone in her heart was a lot smoother, and she said hypocritically, "Ming Xi, this palace doesn't mean to punish you, it's just that Caiyu is used to following this palace, and I hope you don't mind." Qingling, Qinghua will take Mingxi down and take good care of it. After speaking, he gave the two palace maids a look.
glanced at Lu Guifei weakly, and finally couldn't help but pass out. "Don't hurry up and take it down, take care of it, don't treat her badly!" Qingling, Qinghua naturally understood what Lu Guifei meant, and immediately took her down.
On the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, Caiyu came to call Mingxi up, "Lazy bones, don't look at how old the sun is outside, why don't you hurry up and serve Niangniang, do you really think that you are still in front of the palace?" ”
I wanted to argue a few words, but my cheeks were so swollen that I couldn't speak, so I had to put on my clothes and follow Caiyu to wait outside the hall.
"You, give her the washing things, and then go and see how the 100-meter porridge that Niangniang wants to eat is doing?" Caiyu sent the little palace maid away, and put the basin in Mingxi's hand.
The two of them waited for more than half an hour before Mama opened the door and let them in, Ming Xi took it for so long, his arm was already sore, and he thought that he could put down the things in his hand when he entered the house, but he was stopped by Mama.
"Foolish things, Niang Niang has always liked to let people serve clean faces, don't you know? Caiyu, didn't you tell her the rules? Mama snapped.
Glancing at Ming Xi, Caiyu said without hesitation, "I have already talked about it with Ming Xi today, I think she didn't remember it." After saying that, he pinched her a few times.
As if they hadn't seen it, Lu Guifei and Mama tidied up their headdresses, and then turned around to clean their faces, but they saw Ming Xi's weeping face.
In a fit of anger, Lu Guifei knocked over the basin, sprinkled the warm water on Ming Xi's body, and then the wounds on her face fell into the water, and she couldn't hold back the tears anymore.
"Early in the morning, let this palace see your crying face, it's really unlucky, and people are clumsy, I really don't know how Your Majesty put up with you, don't hurry up and get out." Lu Guifei poked at Mingxi's head and counted it unceremoniously.
Seeing that Mingxi was still kneeling on the ground to wipe her tears, Caiyu kicked her twice again, "I didn't hear Niangniang's words, hurry up." After speaking, he glanced at the eunuch Xiao Songzi on the side, and he immediately dragged Mingxi out in a spiritual sense.
"Alright, let's get my hands on the toilet." Lu Guifei put away the gloomy expression just now, and said lazily, and the little palace maid outside also brought clean water again.
During breakfast, Lu Guifei lightly told Caiyu, "That dead girl may not be honest, take care of her, don't let her cause any trouble." On the cusp of this storm, this palace doesn't want to be planted in the hands of a stinky girl. ”
Caiyu lowered her head, and immediately came out of the hall and began to look for Mingxi's figure, before she forgot about this stubble, hoping that she didn't go far.
Covering her face and hiding in the corner of the palace gate, the more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged, she didn't know why Lu Guifei treated her like this, and she didn't know when such days would end, this was only the first day, and the injuries on her body were already everywhere, what to do in the days to come.
Thinking that day she and the star agreed to secretly go to see the sample clothes, now that I think about it, I am afraid that there is no chance, maybe I can't get out of the door of the Heart Palace.
