Chapter 142: Seeing each other without words
The queen rubbed her eyebrows, looked sad, and sighed helplessly.
"Rest assured, this matter will be handed over to the slave maid, and I promise to satisfy the mother."
Hongyu's words of relief came into her ears, and the queen nodded, her voice hoarse, "I hope we can get rid of her this time, and Feng'er will obediently listen to the words of this palace." ”
Dressed in a gorgeous palace costume and a noble phoenix crown, the queen looked out the window in the light, only a sigh.
At this time, Orchid returned to the Criminal Division, and Aunt Cui was checking on the work of others.
From outside the door, I heard a little song humming from the orchid's mouth, and walked in happily, with a smile on his face.
She slowly stopped, lowered her head and tried to sneak over, but Aunt Cui saw her at a glance and immediately stopped her.
"Stop." Aunt Cui glanced at her, then ignored her, turned to the others and said, "I said, if any of you are dissatisfied with the Shen Penal Division, you can pick up the high branches, maybe I will have to pay you a smile when I see you in the future." ”
She moved her gaze to the orchid again, walked up to her, and every footstep hit the tip of the orchid's heart.
She raised her eyes and met Aunt Cui's eyes, and was so frightened that she lowered her head, only to hear Aunt Cui's laughter in front of her.
The rough hand lifted her chin, and Aunt Cui said jokingly, "What are you afraid of, could it be that I am some kind of beast, can I eat you?" ”
Orchid hurriedly shook her head, "The slave was just frightened by my aunt for a while." ”
"Yes." Aunt Cui let go of her hand, but after saying these two words, there was no follow-up.
The frightened orchid seemed to be walking on the tip of a knife, constantly swallowing saliva, and the others did not dare to come out, for fear of provoking the fire.
The current Aunt Cui is really a little more terrifying than being angry, and everyone is anxiously waiting for Aunt Cui's next words, but she seems to be deliberately hanging an orchid and never speaks.
She sat on the stool behind her, smiled, and the words that were cold to the bone were slammed into Orchid's heart.
"It's been so long to send a dress, did you see that the queen was in a high position, so she wanted the mother to take pity on you and chose you to serve in the past."
"The slave didn't think so!" Orchid hurriedly knelt down, "Sister Hongyu called the slave maid to ask about something, and the slave maid stayed for a while. ”
The voice was as thin as a mosquito, and the orchid lowered her head, carefully considering her answer.
"Then am I to blame you, why don't I apologize to you?" Aunt Cui deliberately got up and walked in front of her, ready to bow.
Orchid was shocked, and hurriedly got up to help her, but as soon as she got up, Aunt Cui kicked over, like a shrew, straddled her, and slapped her back and forth several times.
"Don't think that I won't dare to punish you if you move the red jade out! You are a member of the Punishment Division, I told you to go west, but you can't go east! It's your fault for delaying the hour! There will be a next time, and you will be directly whipped! ”
She was tired and only panting, glanced at Liu Rou who was waiting for her with a headache, and waved her hand, "It's all gone, finish the rest of the work quickly, the palace masters are still in a hurry." ”
She deliberately slowed down and walked over, and when Liu Rou saw her, she said unhappily, "What's the matter with you?" I don't want the silver anymore, and I don't have any news for you to do things. ”
How long has it been, why is Shen Mei still fine, she doesn't look like she is suffering at all, she can't wait.
Liu Rouqi's wound was still painful, and yesterday she followed Mei Yue back, and the little princess ordered someone to teach her a good lesson, beat forty boards, and let her stand at the door with a copper kettle for an hour, and she couldn't lift her hand.
She suffered so much, but Shen Mei was unscathed, how could she be willing.
Aunt Cui sighed and said quietly, "Girl, you have to know what I am embarrassed about, everyone is staring at the Shen Criminal Division, how to do it, I think you know better than me." ”
Liu Rou was speechless for a while, of course she knew that there were many people who cared about Shen Mei, but if she didn't do it, when the grounding of the third prince and the little princess was lifted, she wouldn't have such a good chance to start.
She took out a few silver tickets from her arms, handed them to Aunt Cui, and said, "I don't care what method you use, I should always let me see that these silver flowers are not in vain!" ”
Aunt Cui didn't take the silver ticket, took a step back, and refused, "Girl, let's take the silver ticket back, I will only find guilt for myself if I do this." ”
Liu Rou's movements froze, looking at Aunt Cui in disbelief, as if she had heard some big joke.
"Aunt Cui, did you make a mistake, you took the money, you have to do it well, and now tell me if you don't do it? It's ridiculous. ”
Aunt Cui sneered, "It's just that I don't want to do it now, if you can find the right person, let her do things for you." ”
She ignored Liu Rou's unwilling eyes, and returned to the room leisurely, Liu Rou stomped her foot angrily, and her chest trembled angrily.
After Liu Rou left, Aunt Cui came out of the room and raised the jade chuan in her hand, even if she didn't get things done, she didn't want to take things away from her hands.
In the middle of the night, Shen Mei picked up the chopped firewood into the basket, and the orchid clenched the axe in her hand, really wanting to chop it hard.
With all her strength, she angrily slashed on the wood, and the sawdust jumped Shen Mei.
Shen Mei just raised her eyes and glanced at her, knowing that she hated herself very much in her heart, and she didn't want to quarrel with her.
Orchid suddenly threw the axe aside and said angrily, "Can you not fake it to make me sick!" Do you feel like you don't have enough to do? ”
Her words caused Shen Mei's dissatisfaction, and she kindly helped her sort out the firewood, but she also complained about herself, which was really ridiculous.
She sneered, straightened up, and said coldly, "I don't want to help you yet, you think everyone has spare time to help you do things, and kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”
The sorted firewood was kicked over, and Orchid directly threw the basket aside, raised her chin, and looked at Shen Mei, as if she was showing off something.
Shen Mei only felt that she was extremely ridiculous, and looked at her coldly, "Then you clean up slowly." ”
Orchid suddenly became angry in her heart, and grabbed her, Aunt Cui saw that the two were arguing again, and said coldly, "What are you doing, give me an hour to stand in the sun!" ”
Shen Mei glared at Orchid unhappily, if it weren't for her, she would have been able to go back to the room comfortably.
Now the orchid doesn't hate her in her heart, and the two of them reluctantly stand in the place where the sun is at its peak.
Aunt Cui looked at them for a while before walking away, outside the door, Song Yan and the little princess called Aunt Cui, and Aunt Cui, who was in an unhappy mood, glanced at them with annoyance, but was startled and hurriedly ran over.
"Hey, princess, why are you here again, this is not a place for you to come, it's very dirty, if the queen mother knows, the slaves and maids will not be able to do it."
The little princess glanced at Song Yan and pretended to be old and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, if this princess doesn't say it, who else will tell the queen mother." ”
Aunt Cui nodded hurriedly and followed the little princess's line of sight to Song Yan.
"This is General Song's daughter."
"It turned out to be Miss Song." Aunt Cui couldn't help but have a cold sweat on her forehead, what happened to the Shen Criminal Division today, the princess and Miss Song are here.
She hurriedly called a palace maid who passed by here, and asked her to prepare good snacks and tea, although the Shen Penal Division was not as good as other places, there were no good things, but she could not neglect the two distinguished guests.
The little princess poked her head and looked inside, looking for Shen Mei's figure, Song Yan supported her body in the back, and looked around and didn't see Shen Mei, the two frowned slightly.
looked at Aunt Cui together, and the sudden eyes of the two frightened Aunt Cui's heart, and the smile on her face was a little unbearable.
With a smile on her face, she said, "The princess might as well come in and talk, the old slave has already prepared a snack." ”
The little princess nodded, took Song Yan into the room, and as soon as she entered the door, she asked impatiently, "Why didn't this princess see Sister Mei?" ”
Sister Mei? Aunt Cui's head was empty, and then she realized that the person the little princess said was Shen Mei.
She steadied her breathing, and secretly congratulated herself on reining in time and did not target Shen Mei again, otherwise she would have her own good fruit to eat.
"The princess can rest assured, she eats well and sleeps soundly in the Shen Penal Division now, but the old slave always takes care of Miss Shen and does not dare to relax."
"Really? In this way, the princess is relieved. The little princess finally smiled, and continued, "I want to meet her, can I?" ”
"Absolutely!" Aunt Cui responded.
She hurriedly walked out, took a deep breath, patted her chest, and just punished Miss Shen, but someone came to see her, which was really scared to death.
She stabilized her mind, waved at Shen Mei from afar, and called her over.
Miss Shen pointed at herself, walked up suspiciously, and said, "Aunt called me?" ”
"Come here, the princess and Miss Song have come to see you." Aunt Cui held her hand very affectionately, as if the two had a very close relationship.
Aunt Cui wanted to speak and stopped, Shen Mei knew in her heart, the princess came to see her today, and Aunt Cui was afraid that she would tell her about herself.
She smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, the slave knows what to say and what not to say." ”
With Shen Mei's words, Aunt Cui was finally relieved, she patted Shen Mei's hand and led her into the room.
As soon as she entered the door, the little princess pounced, hugged Shen Mei tightly and refused to let go, her eyes like grapes were full of tears.
"Sister Mei, I really miss you!" She hugged her legs with a crying voice, tears wiping down her clothes.
Shen Mei was uncomfortable by her crying, picked her up, and patted her back comfortingly.
Song Yan couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw the two of them like this, Shen Mei today is completely different from before, without the original scenery, only simplicity remains.
She glanced at Aunt Cui, who hurriedly retreated, closed the door gently, and left time for the three of them to greet each other.
After Aunt Cui left, the little princess let go of her hand and choked up, "I really ...... I miss you so much, but the queen mother locked me up and didn't let me go to my father at all. Even the third brother was locked up and prevented from coming out to intercede. ”
