Chapter 131: Punishment
In the house where Zhang Li was placed, he slept well, and Sheng Changning only felt comfortable physically and mentally when he got up.
Since she decided to come to look for Wuyanhua after hitting the palace, she has never slept well like this.
"Princess ......"
There was a tentative call from Bai Lu outside, and Sheng Changning turned over and raised his eyes to look at the window.
I saw that the sky was already bright outside the window, and some dazzling sunlight shone in through the window, sprinkling a bright light.
Looking at this situation, it should be three poles in the sun.
After Sheng Changning realized this, he sat up and responded to Bai Lu outside.
After a moment of her words, Bai Lu's footsteps sounded, and there was some urgency in the words that came.
"Princess, you're finally awake."
It was Bai Lu and Lixia who came in, the two of them were holding pots and bowls and water for washing, looking at the anxiety on their faces, Sheng Changning was a little puzzled.
"What's going on?"
Could it be that in this Xunyang City, no one is allowed to sleep late?
"It's the lord of the city, he sent someone to bring you breakfast early in the morning, but you haven't woken up for a long time, those meals ...... It's been hot several times. β
Lixia said, with some embarrassment in his eyes, "The maids who deliver the meal are still outside, slaves and maids...... I don't dare to disturb your rest, I really don't know what to do. β
Sheng Changning cleaned her face and wiped the water droplets on her hands, while listening to Lixia's words, she didn't have any other expressions.
"Didn't invite them in?"
Listening to Sheng Changning's question, Bai Lu and Lixia dared to hide something, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the princess, the slaves and maids have invited them to come in and sit down several times, but they have to stand at the door, waiting for you to wake up......
Sheng Changning only felt more and more suspicious when he heard this, this is so good, and there are still people who have to find guilt or not?
She got up, Bai Lu hurriedly brought clean clothes, and while changing clothes for Sheng Changning, she explained: "Princess, this dress was bought by Lord Shen last night, saying that I was afraid that you would wake up today and not have clean clothes to change." β
Sheng Changning lowered his eyes and took a closer look, the material of this dress is not of the highest quality, but it is still soft and soft, and the color will not be too flamboyant.
In this Xunyang City, I am afraid that I can also find the best clothes.
Sheng Changning thought about it, and there was a smile in her eyes, but when Bai Lu looked over, she quickly retracted again.
"Lixia, you go, pass on the order of the palace, and invite the servants who came to deliver the meal into the inner room." Sheng Changning flicked the emerald stone ear that Bai Lu had just put on for her in her ear, and commanded loudly.
Lixia hurriedly took the order and left.
Bai Lu was holding Sheng Changning's hair, but she didn't know what she suddenly thought, and she said again strangely.
"Princess, the slave and maid looked at the people who delivered the food very strangely, and it didn't look like they had come to deliver the food, but like ...... It's like looking for someone! β
Looking for someone?
Sheng Changning raised his eyes and looked at himself in the bronze mirror, which was still Sheng Changqing's face.
Xu followed Sheng Changqing's biological mother, but her face was clear and beautiful, but she was far from her previous appearance, let alone comparable to the peerless beauty.
She picked up the snail on the table and lightly tapped the tail of her eye.
β¦β¦
"Concubine please princess Wan'an-"
As soon as Sheng Changning came out, he saw those neat rows of women at a glance, all of them holding trays of meals in their hands.
And, without exception, they are all people with graceful postures and good faces.
Accustomed to seeing Sheng Changqing's beautiful face, at first glance at these beauties, it is really quite amazing.
Sheng Changning lowered her long eyes, hiding the cold mockery under her eyes, she sat down, and Bai Lu immediately stepped forward to offer tea.
Ignoring the voices of the people above them, the maids holding the meal naturally did not dare to get up, but they had been waiting here for a long time, their hands and legs were weak, where had they done such hard work in the past?
Thinking like this, everyone's hearts were full of resentment, and Hongtan couldn't help but raise his head, looked at the person sitting above him, and there was a trace of sadness in his tone.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the concubine and others have been waiting here for a long time in the morning, even if you are dissatisfied, please use some food for the sake of your body......
Hearing this, Sheng Changning lifted his eyes slightly, and looked up, as long as the woman who spoke out loud was dressed in a red dress, the clothes were weak, and she looked sad and pitiful.
It's like a red plum standing on a pretty branch, swaying pitifully with the strong wind, no matter how delicate.
At this time, Sheng Changning is the wind that does not pity the fragrance and cherishes the jade.
But no matter how stupid she Sheng Changning is, she won't be able to detect this person's inferior methods, and deliberately say that she is not in the words.
Where did a lowly servant get the guts?
"They are not from the City Lord's Mansion...... Servant girl? β
Sheng Changning raised his eyebrows slightly, tilted his head and asked Bai Lu, who was standing next to him.
Listening to her princess's question, Bai Lu knew the deep meaning of her words, and hurriedly stepped forward, about to say something.
But before Bai Lu's words could be spoken, he was interrupted.
"Your Royal Highness the princess, the concubines are not maids, the concubines are the singers in the city lord's mansion, and they came today because of the city lord's order......"
Sheng Changning didn't raise his head, and said lightly, "Lixia, palm mouth." β
Lixia can be said to have suffered from these people's faces this morning, and now that she listened to Sheng Changning's orders, she was happy in her heart, and she hurriedly responded.
The singer who had just spoken out in vain was already frightened, she looked at the red sandalwood in her eyes in a panic, and said to Lixia who came over: "You, you can't beat me!" I was chosen by the lord of the cityβah! β
A heavy slap sounded, and in this extraordinarily quiet room, it was particularly crisp in the ears.
Hongtan, who had just spoken out to Sheng Changning, had already been frightened by this scene, and the singers who were gathered together were all trembling on the side.
Lixia slapped the disrespectful singer several times in a row, and when Sheng Changning spoke, she stopped unhappily.
After the punishment was over, the singers were already frightened, and they almost couldn't even hold the plate in their hands.
Bai Lu got Sheng Changning's eyes, took two steps forward, and said with a gesture: "Flatten the things in your hands, beware of falling and getting hit again." β
When the girls heard this, they couldn't care about their posture anymore, and hurriedly took care of the things in their hands.
The singer who was beaten was even more embarrassed, she fell to the ground, and her tears kept falling.
Bai Lu walked up to everyone and looked down at them condescendingly, her tone still as solemn as she had just done.
"In front of the princess, you dare to speak disrespectfully, and fortunately the public has mercy, and you are a country person, so you can't do it, if you are in Shengjing, you will be punished with a cane......"
