Chapter 138: Punishment
For some reason, the voice behind him suddenly stopped, and Caiping suddenly said: "Princess, the person who passed by us just now seems to be the personal palace maid of the crown princess." ”
Fu Lin narrowed her eyes, turned around, and looked at Cuiyu's fast-walking figure, her voice was not salty or light, "The palace maid in a plain palace maid's clothes, stop for me." ”
Jade's heart sank suddenly, and her steps couldn't move as if she was frozen.
She turned around stiffly, and walked slowly and heavily towards Fulin, and when she reached Fulin, she knelt down and saluted: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Fu Lin raised his eyebrows, and was about to look for her fork, when suddenly his eyes fell on the box in Cuiyu's hand, "What is this?" ”
Cuiyu was shocked in her heart, thinking of Li Qiuchi's instructions, she subconsciously protected it, and said with a forced smile: "Go back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, this is a gift that the slave maid wants to give to her fellow villagers." ”
Fu Lin felt that something was wrong, and after giving Caiping a look, Caiping immediately understood, and directly snatched the box in Cuiyu's hand, and Cuiyu hurriedly wanted to snatch it back, but Caiping was from a Lian family, but she was put down in two clicks.
Caiping directly lifted the cloth wrapped in it, and the glass bottle in the box bloomed with colorful light, and she asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”
Fu Lin looked over and narrowed his eyes, "Glass bottle? ”
She stared at the jade that had fallen to the ground in embarrassment, "How can you have such a valuable item?" ”
Jade hurriedly got up, "Princess, this thing is precious, please return it to the slave." ”
Fu Lin sneered, "Joke, will this princess still be rare for you to break a bottle?" Caiping, give it back to her. ”
Caiping looked at it for a moment, and although she still felt strange, she still returned the box to her.
Jade hurriedly took it, looked at it and saw that there was no problem before breathing a sigh of relief.
After she wrapped the bottle in a cloth, she was in a hurry to give it to Chu Ci, and hurriedly saluted and was about to leave.
Fu Lin didn't care much about it, but suddenly out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the letter in Cuiyu's hand, which was stamped with a royal seal, and her voice was cold, "Slow." ”
Cuiyu's footsteps didn't dare to move as if they were stuck with tree glue, and she saw Fu Lin slowly walk to her side, take away the letter in Cuiyu's hand, and her eyes swept over the signature on it coldly: "Li Qiuchi? ”
"Yes," Fu Lin sneered, his eyes as sharp as knives shot at Jade.
Cuiyu was so startled that she quickly knelt down, and her heart was beating like a drum, but she heard the cold voice above sound, "Do you know what the fate of deceiving this princess is?" ”
Jade fell low to the ground, fine sweat on her forehead, and she gritted her teeth to hold back the trembling body.
On the square, the sun is blazing. She knelt in front of the main hall for an hour, her knees were already numb, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her forehead.
However, her eyes were unwavering in her gaze ahead, clenching her teeth and carrying stubbornness in her eyes. People passing by around saw Jade kneeling in the center of the square, and they stopped and whispered.
"What's wrong with her?" Someone asked in confusion.
"You don't know yet? She is the princess's personal maid. offended Princess Fulin, and was ordered by the princess to kneel here for four hours. ”
"Four hours?" Another exclaimed, "It's noon, and if you kneel here for four hours against the sun, how can you stand it?" ”
"But this is the personal palace maid of the crown princess, how can Princess Fulin physically punish her without asking?" Someone is dissatisfied.
"Huh, who made Princess Fulin the most favored princess of our dynasty? Since she offended the princess, she had to bear it obediently, who made her have a pair of eyes for nothing. ”
"Your words are too ugly, Princess Fulin's brutality and willfulness are known to everyone in the palace, besides, I have dealt with Cuiyu, she is by no means that kind of person." A palace maid who usually befriends Jade spoke unhappily.
"Tsk, what kind of good guy are you pretending to be? If you have the ability, save her, and what to do with me? I'm cheating here, and I don't know who to show it! The palace maid next to her spoke sarcastically.
"You!"
"What are you doing here? Let's hurry up and do our work, otherwise Mama will punish us again when she sees it. A steady palace maid spoke slowly.
When they heard this, they were all dumbfounded, and they dispersed.
Their discussion was all in Jade's ears, and they did not waver in the slightest. Her gaze was fixed on the hall ahead, and the chaos and drowsiness gradually set in, and her body began to go numb, like ants eating bones, making her even more painful.
When Li Qiuchi heard the slave's report arrive, Cuiyu was still kneeling in the square, her thin figure casting a small shadow in the scorching sun.
Her heart suddenly ached, and she ran to Cuiyu's side, supporting her, her voice choked, "I'm sorry, Cuiyu, I'm late." ”
Cuiyu's brain shook her head in a drowsy manner, and her voice became hoarse because of the long exposure to the sun, "Cuiyu is fine, miss...... I'm sorry that Jade didn't protect the glass bottle you told me about. ”
It turned out that she was actually for this glass bottle. The feeling in Li Qiuchi's heart surged out, and she hugged Cuiyu tightly, almost crying.
"Why are you so stupid, it's just a bottle, it's a big deal, let's just buy another one." Feelings of guilt and discomfort mingled in her heart, and her face ran across the cold liquid.
Cuiyu smiled and wanted to say something, when Fu Lin's cool voice sounded.
"It's a good master-servant relationship."
Li Qiuchi looked up and saw Fu Lin standing in front of her, staring at the two of them with mocking eyes.
Her face suddenly turned cold, she slowly stood up, handed the jade to the palace maid who came with her, and her cold gaze shot towards Fulin.
"I wonder where my personal palace maid offended the princess? He made the princess so angry that she was sent to kneel under the scorching sun for four hours. Her eyes were scarlet, and she almost gritted her teeth to say this.
"Tsk," Fu Lin shook his head and spread his hands helplessly, "This cheap maid collided with this princess, and this princess wanted to punish her, so she punished her, so she still had to ask you?" There is a saying that what kind of master has what kind of slave and maid. I think so. ”
Li Qiuchi's eyes were almost on fire, and she suppressed her anger, "The princess is really majestic!" ”
Fu Lin bent his eyebrows and smiled: "That's natural, this princess is the most favored in this palace, where can she compare to some people who don't know the depth like this?" doesn't weigh her own weight, this princess punished her today, and it was also a lesson for her. ”
She looked at Cuiyu who had fainted in the arms of the slave beside Li Qiuchi, and her voice was disdainful: "A cheap maid is really pretentious, but she has been kneeling in the sun for a few hours......"
