Chapter Seventy-Five: The Court Takes Charge
The court was a little more deserted than the last time Princess An Ning came.
If when Princess An Ning came here a few days ago, there were still some curious or malicious glances in the court, then this time, there was really no one.
The night is dark.
A few not-so-bright palace lamps glowed faintly white, swaying in the wind.
The court order was still kneeling at the door alone, respectfully greeting Princess An Ning and the others.
The difference is that compared with the previous days, the court order is much more decayed.
"The slave maid has seen His Majesty, His Royal Highness King Han, His Royal Highness Princess An Ning, and His Royal Highness Princess An He."
Seeing that people were coming, the court ordered him to kowtow in a proper manner, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"Hmm." Sima Zhao replied lightly, and asked directly, "Where does the palace maid live?" ”
"Your Majesty, please come with the slaves." After listening to Sima Zhao's questioning, Ye Tingling stood up tremblingly, lifted a lantern, and led the way in front.
The residence of the palace maid in charge of the sect is actually not far from the north gate.
Sima Zhao and his entourage followed behind Ye Tingling, and it didn't take long to follow this straight road to the residence of the palace maid in charge.
Although the palace maid in charge of the palace is a palace person in this great palace, she can actually be regarded as having an official position, and she also eats the court's money. It can be said that in the eunuch palace system, in addition to the small yellow gate who is often served, it is the palace maid who has the highest status.
Of course, the big palace maids next to the respected princes and princesses are not in this comparison.
The reason why he has such a high status and lives with some lowly beauties, talents, and middle talents lies in the particularity of his position.
After all, the palace maid is subordinate to the punishment.
"The slave maid has seen Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness Princess An Ning, Her Royal Highness King Han, and Her Royal Highness Princess An He."
The palace maid in charge of the sect was waiting for Sima Zhao and his party at the door of her residence, and when she saw the figure in the distance, she saluted loudly to greet her, which can be said to be worthy of being the palace maid in charge, and there was no mistake at all.
Sima Zhao was a little surprised when he saw that there was only one palace maid in charge, and then he was a little anxious, and asked sharply: "Why are you the only one, Princess Ankang?" ”
The palace maid in charge was not in a hurry, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness Princess Ankang is learning palace etiquette in the room at the moment, you can see it when you come in." ”
Sima Zhao frowned, and directly bypassed the palace maid and entered the hall.
Princess An Ning didn't rush in, she glanced at the palace, slowly paced forward step by step, and walked in front of the palace maid.
"Princess Ankang's daughter's body, have you treated it well?"
"Slaves and maids naturally dare not treat them badly." The palace maid in charge lowered her head slightly, and her posture was full of deference, "Princess Ankang just hasn't been taught well at the right age, compared to the disobedient ones in the hands of the slave maid, it is already too much easier to discipline." ”
"Then it seems that the skill of teaching you is not diminished." Princess An Ning smiled slightly, "Then this palace, let's go and check what changes will occur in Ankang in just one day." ”
The palace maid bowed down and invited Princess An Ning into the palace.
The residence of the palace maid in charge of the sect is the only palace in the court.
The name of this palace is also very concise and clear, which is the Hall of Discipline.
The situation in the hall is different from what everyone imagined, it doesn't look cold and unpopular, but it makes people feel very warm.
Although this hall of admonition is not large, it can be regarded as having all the things inside.
Needless to say, there are also female red embroidery and illustrations.
When Sima Zhao came in, he saw Princess Ankang with thick bamboo boards tied to her hands and legs, standing straight in place, unable to move; She had a clay bowl on top of her head, and there were already many fragments of it around her.
"Well-being?" Sima Zhao was a little incredulous, stepped forward and took off the pottery bowl on Ankang's head, and reached out to take off these bamboo pieces tied to Ankang's body.
King Han stopped him.
"Fifth brother, what are you going to do!" Sima Zhao glared angrily at King Han.
King Han glanced at Princess Ankang, who was trembling slightly, and said to Sima Zhao: "These things should be specially tied up by the palace maid for Princess Ankang, Your Majesty doesn't know what it means, it's better not to move around yet." ”
"She, she, a lady in charge of the palace only, how can she do this, who gives her the power to do so! She's just abuse! ”
As soon as Sima Zhao heard King Han mention the palace maid in charge, it was as if he had immediately found a reasonable outlet to vent, and immediately vented the anger he had been holding back that night on the palace maid.
So when Princess An Ning and the palace maid came in, what they saw was an extremely irritable Sima Zhao.
To be honest, it was the first time that Princess An Ning had seen Sima Zhao like this.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter, why are you so angry?" Princess An Ning asked with some confusion.
"Just ask this palace maid in charge to find out what's going on!" Sima Zhao pointed to the palace maid and said, "I really don't know, what kind of etiquette learning needs to be tied to a piece of bamboo!" ”
Princess An Ning raised her eyebrows after hearing this, then looked sideways in the direction of Princess Ankang, and then saw the so-called bamboo chips, what was going on.
She almost couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.
This is really because Princess Ankang's current image is not good.
The injury suffered by Princess Ankang in Changle Palace the day before had not yet healed, and her cheeks were still swollen high. I don't know what she has experienced in more than a day, and there are still some sweat-soaked marks on her forehead.
Compared with her previous image, it is really embarrassing.
The palace maid in charge of the sect did not panic at all in the face of Sima Zhao's questioning.
She was still respectful but said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty don't worry too much, these things are all for the good of Princess Ankang herself."
In recent years, Princess Ankang has neglected to manage her etiquette and behavior, and her posture has actually been a little out of shape. As a member of the royal family, a princess with a respected status, if she is crooked, then what kind of image is my royal family in front of her subjects? ”
Princess An Ning also received the words of the palace maid at this moment, and comforted Sima Zhao and said: "Your Majesty really doesn't have to worry too much, this bamboo piece has also been used in this palace."
However, that was all when I was a kid. ”
Princess An Ning slowly walked towards Princess Ankang, looking at Princess Ankang's gradually stiffened body and the hatred in her eyes that could not be concealed more and more, she laughed out loud, "heh",
"This kind of thing, for Sister Ankang, naturally there is no harm, it's just that it's hard to work hard for Sister Ankang."
