Chapter 13: The Lady-in-Waiting

The other maidservants have been taking care of her for the past few days.

Early in the morning, the maidservant Xiaocui beckoned her to get up and sweep the yard. The small figure of the child was busy in and out of the yard. It's like a little follower of other handmaidens.。

After cleaning the yard, Xiaocui ordered her to go to the well to fetch water. Carrying the bucket to the well, she carefully followed the rope and passed the bucket in, and in a short time, the water was full. But her strength was too small to lift it up. I had to pour half a bucket of water, and then I could barely pull the bucket out of the well.

She staggered to the bucket, and because of her unsteady body, the little water in the bucket had been spilled all the way. She finally brought the water to Xiaocui, but she scolded her for playing too little water. She had no choice but to carry the empty bucket to the well again to fetch water.

The cold well water splashed on her, forming frost. Ignoring the soreness of her arms and her hands that were a little red and swollen from the cold, she picked up half a bucket of water again and walked with difficulty to the Huan Washroom.

Maybe it was because she was in a hurry, she was unsteady on her feet, and she slipped all at once, and her ass fell heavily to the ground. She hurriedly got up, looked at the water in the bucket, and saw that half of the bucket was still there, so she was relieved.

She slapped the snow off her body twice, and was about to lift the bucket again, when suddenly a tall figure appeared behind her and lifted the bucket on the ground.

Su'er turned around in surprise, but saw Helian Yunjue carrying a bucket and staring at her.

"Wang ...... Rajah! The word fluttered from her lips, which were purple from the cold.

"Are you alright?" Helian Yunjue just passed by, and happened to see the embarrassment of Fu'er falling, so he asked.

Yu'er looked embarrassed, and lowered her head in response: "Lord Xie cares, the slave is fine." Let the slave mention it. ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her small red and swollen hand to take the bucket from Helian Yunjue's hand.

Helian Yunjue saw her hand, frowned slightly, and said, "I'd better come." ”

As he spoke, he strode forward with the bucket, and after a few steps, Xiao Cui, who saw him from afar, hurriedly trotted over and flattered Helian Yunjue to take the bucket he was carrying. Helian Yunjue unceremoniously pushed the bucket down the river and handed it to Xiao Cui.

As soon as Xiao Cui carried the bucket into the Huan Washroom, Helian Yunjue stood outside the courtyard and said coldly: "There is a well in the courtyard of the Huan Washroom, but you let her go to the farthest well to fetch water!" The people of my Annan royal palace dare to play these unseemly tricks under the nose of this king! I think you've had enough time in the palace, like a change of environment to relax your muscles?! ”

Helian Yunjue's face was cold, not angry but threatening.

Xiao Cui saw that the prince was angry, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Xiao Cui knows that she is wrong, Xiao Cui really didn't mean it, and please calm the prince's anger!"

The other maids in the washroom stood on either side, not daring to speak.

Helian Yunjue's brows tightened, and he knew that his anger had not subsided when he saw it.

The girl who followed him ran up to him, knelt on the ground with a plop, and pleaded for Xiao Cui.

"The prince is angry! Sister Xiaocui didn't deliberately make things difficult for Jie'er, but she wanted to help, but she didn't know that there was a well in the courtyard of the Huan Washroom, so she ran to fetch water from afar! Please don't blame Sister Xiaocui! ”

Helian Yunjue glanced at Yu'er, who was kneeling on the ground and pleading, and then glanced coldly at Xiao Cui, who was kneeling not far away. After a while, he spoke: "Since Fu'er interceded for you, this king will spare you this time, but if there is a next time, you can pack up your things and leave the house by yourself!" ”

Xiao Cui, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly thanked her.

Helian Yunjue helped Fu'er up and ordered: "From now on, you will move out of the side room and be the king's personal maid!" ”

"Personal maid?!" Although she didn't understand it in her heart, she still received her order obediently.
