Chapter 140: For the Servant
Although Xunyang City is located in a remote area and its resources are really limited, fortunately, Zhang Li treats Sheng Changning with great courtesy, and the daily food is personally selected by him from the city lord's mansion and sent to the courtyard.
Naturally, the things that passed through his hands were already the best in Xunyang City.
Since Shen Yue left, Sheng Changning asked him, so he put Ling Yi back in her room to wait, and many times they were not allowed to wait by Bai Lu's side, and now the matter of cloth meal naturally fell on Ling Yi.
"Slave, let's go and let the people below change the dishes again......"
Looking at the clear soup and vegetarian dishes on the table in front of him, Ling Yi pinched the fingertips of the chopsticks and paused, he couldn't help frowning, bowed down and put down the dishes and chopsticks lightly, and was about to step out of the door after saying this.
"It seems that City Lord Zhang is not good at training slaves." Sheng Changning's expression was light, she picked up the wood-colored soup spoon, and watched the white and mellow soup in the spoon fall into the porcelain bowl, melting into a thick aroma.
The soup spoon in her hand fell back into the soup bowl, and with a crisp sound, Sheng Changning lifted his eyes and looked straight ahead, "What does the master use, where is your turn to take care of it?" ”
As her words fell, Ling Yishang's back stiffened slightly, but after a moment, he turned around and knelt on the ground.
"Slave convicted."
The fish soup is mellow and sweet, the meat is fresh and tender, and the taste is a little different from the fish you are used to eating in the capital.
Sheng Changning put down the small spoon in his hand and looked at the person who was kneeling on the ground, as if he was ...... Since the two of them met again, facing her, Ling Qianzhi had never straightened his waist again.
Is it guilty? Remorse?
Her eyes narrowed, "Get up." ”
"Sit." Sheng Changning raised his chin and motioned for him to sit on the chair next to her, but Ling Yi bowed a little more bent, "Sitting at the same table with His Highness, the slave is afraid." ”
"Panic?"
Sheng Changning looked at him, his expression unchanged, "This palace remembers that in the past, you were the most happy to dine with this palace." Now that he knows the rules, it's not in vain that this palace has gone through such a ...... in front of the king of Hades."
"Slave...... Damn it. Ling Yi lowered his eyebrows, and his knees went limp and knelt down again.
"You really deserve to die!" Sheng Changning got up, and his tone couldn't be more light, "However, now that you are still useful, what does it matter if you keep your life first." ”
Outside, listening to the faint sound of talking inside, Bai Lu still couldn't help frowning, and Lixia glanced at the paper window next to her that couldn't see anything, and was also very worried.
Lixia couldn't help but pull her sleeve and whispered: "Sister Bailu, that Ling Yi is a slave after all, how can you be in the same room with the princess so openly......"
Moreover, listening like this outside, the two seemed to have a good conversation.
"Lord Shen has just left, this Ling Yi dares to be so presumptuous......" Lixia sighed, she thought of something again, and said, "Sister, you said, the princess behaved like this, isn't it annoying Lord Shen for saying goodbye?" ”
"What are you talking about?"
Lady Mo, who was holding the hand-cleaning bowl, had a cold face and interrupted the whispering of the two, "Counting the hours, the princess is already running out of food, so don't go in and serve soon." ”
"Yes, yes......" Lixia had always been a little stunned by her, so she hurriedly took the water and asked the people inside.
Female Officer Mo turned her gaze and looked at Bai Lu, who was standing still, her face was pale, "You come with me." ”
Walking to a remote corner, Lady Mo was relieved for a moment with her hand, and she asked with a calm brow: "Before Lord Shen left, did you look for you?" What did you talk about, why didn't you confess it to the princess? ”
Bai Lu's face did not show panic, she suppressed the nervousness in her heart, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Lord Shen did find a slave before leaving...... But that was just some instructions from the adults to the slave and maid, and told the slave and the maid to take good care of the princess, but as for the side, there was nothing more to say. ”
"Is it really gone?"
"......Seriously," Bai Lu exhaled, "The slave doesn't dare to lie, let alone hide from the princess and do anything unfavorable to the princess." ”
Lady Mo looked at her for a moment, and saw that her face was indeed not unusual, so she nodded, and she said, "It's good that you have such an awareness." You must know that the master we serve is a princess, and whatever you do, even if it is beneficial and harmless to her, you must not hide it. ”
"You'll get it later."
Female Officer Mo sighed lightly.
Speaking of these ways of being slaves and servants, only after experiencing them can you realize them, just like her.
She was the last female official from the priest's workshop, but before that, she was also a married lady in the palace who everyone had to be honored as a "female official", but now she lives a humble life.
It's not all because of their own opinions, those who are slaves and maids, the most taboo by the master is nothing more than betrayal and disobedience, and if you hit one of them, you are not far from decline.
Listening to Lady Mo sighing, Bai Lu's eyes shrank slightly, and then lowered her head lightly, "Thank you for the teachings of the female officer, the slave and maid keep it in mind." ”
Lady Mo put away her scattered thoughts, and when she heard this, she only waved her hand lightly and said, "There is no need to thank you, just remember, go and talk to the princess about the matter of Lord Shen looking for you when he left." ”
"Yes......"
……
When Bai Lu returned to the small courtyard, the maids in the courtyard who had been transferred by the city lord Zhang were doing the work of sprinkling and sweeping, Xu used to be in the city lord's mansion with his hands and feet, but now he is much more leisurely here, with a smile on his face.
It's soothing to look at.
When Bai Lu saw them, she had to think of herself in the palace in the past, when she was sent to the princess's Shufang Palace, she was still very timid, and she couldn't even stammered back in the face of the princess's questioning.
She thought of the princess's goodness, remembered her telling herself that she didn't have to be restrained in front of her, and remembered that she didn't give up herself about the eldest princess Rongfu, these are all kinds of love that she can't afford as a maid......
"Guard Ling."
In the blink of an eye, Bai Lu saw the man who came out of the house, he was no longer as humble as he was in front of the princess.
Bai Lu hurriedly greeted him, Ling didn't have any superfluous expressions on his face, only responded with a slight bow, and passed by her.
With a sigh of relief, Bai Lu gently pushed the door open.
As soon as I entered, I happened to meet Lixia who bowed down and retreated with water, Lixia saw her, first smiled, and then hurriedly whispered to her: "The princess is going to sleep, and Ling Fang just went out, you should have seen it when you came in?" Don't stand still, let's go out first, and we'll talk about what happens when the princess wakes up......"
"You go out first, I'll just wait here." Bai Lu nodded at her.
