Song Zhiqiu sat at a small table, and there were several plates on the table, two plates of snacks, a plate of nuts, red dates and other mixed snacks.

There was also a pot of tea steaming slightly. Looks like he's just getting about to eat these snacks.

Ling Xiaoning couldn't help but be even more excited when she saw the food, and hurriedly went over and stuffed the pastry into her mouth.

"Hmm...... The food cooked by the imperial chef is really good, and it tastes delicious! ”

Song Zhiqiu slowly raised his hand and put one hand on the top of Ling Xiaoning's head.

"Do you know what you did wrong?"

Ling Xiaoning pushed his hand away, poured a cup of hot tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Actually, I don't think you're that rigid, since the others aren't there, why are you telling me these boring things? You don't have to treat me as a master, and I don't treat you as a prince or His Royal Highness, the two of us just treat them as friends, and we can get along like that. ”

Song Zhiqiu's face changed instantly and he stood up.

"Nonsense, everything is according to your temperament, and the whole palace is not out of order? It's okay for you to break into my dormitory without permission, and now there are no rules at all, and it's okay to say that you can eat if you eat...... You are just a little palace maid who has just attacked the most humble status, and you can directly be punished as a capital crime if you do such a big thing! ”

Ling Xiaoning's face couldn't help but turn pale, he stool, and the movements on his hands also stopped.

"You...... You shouldn't be so ruthless, do you want to punish me with death? Although your temper is not very good when you are outside the palace, I don't like it very much, but it is not so ......"

She couldn't help but wonder if the man in front of her was just the person she once knew, and the two were not the same person at all.

Song Zhiqiu's face softened a little and sat down again.

"I'm not really trying to condemn you to death, I just want you to understand the rules of doing things in this palace. No matter where you go, you change your identity, and if you want to stay here, you must first understand the rules here...... No, there are no rules, if you don't have rules in front of me, it's okay, but if you collide with other people in the palace, then they want your life or how to punish you, and then your little life will fall into their hands. ”

Ling Xiaoning smiled and stuffed a date into his mouth.

"Well, you're worried about my safety...... Don't worry, I'm not stupid, I know you treat me as a friend, so I'm so unruly. If I meet other people in the palace, I will definitely be careful, not to mention what kind of person has status, you don't know how badly I was bullied by that old palace maid......"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to show her high, swollen palms, and a layer of skin that was about to fall.

Song Zhiqiu just wanted to get angry, but when he saw the miserable appearance of his palm, he lost his voice again.

He pondered for a moment, then turned around and took out a small white porcelain vase from the lattice.

"This is an ointment that can reduce swelling and stasis, you take it back and rub it, remember not to get wet for an hour after rubbing the medicine."

"What's the use of that, I'm in charge of washing the clothes of those people right now until dawn...... How is it possible to wash clothes without getting wet? ”

"Then you go back early, and rest well after rubbing the medicine."

"You ......"

Ling Xiaoning picked up the small white porcelain vase, and her mood became complicated.

In this palace, I am afraid that he is the only one who can care about himself.

But he is a dignified prince, if he wants to, can't he help himself out of the sea of suffering?

Not to mention being dominant in the palace, even if you go to him to make a small personal apartment, you will not be bullied by others very badly.

"Your Highness, I know that I am a faceless and unruly person, which makes you not like it very much...... But as a friend, can't you help to the end? Help me find a way out of there...... Find me a place where I won't be bullied, just be a palace maid! ”

"It is normal for a palace maid who has just entered the palace to be bullied and embarrassed by her husband and daughter. You'd better hurry back, or you'll be caught running around, and you won't be able to tell. ”

"I ...... Well, thank you for the snacks, and the medicine, I'll go back first. Whoever called this path my own choice blames me for my overflowing compassion and lack of ability. ”

Ling Xiaoning sighed softly for a while, and left with the small porcelain vase.

During the day, the palace maids were very tired from washing clothes, and they didn't find anyone leaving halfway.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, someone shouted outside and asked a few male daughters to go out to work.

The clothes that needed to be washed yesterday were piled up in a mountain, and the clothes that were sent in the morning this morning were piled up again.

In addition, I didn't finish washing my clothes yesterday, and the hill became a big mountain, and it was a mountain that made people feel hopeless.

"You guys move quickly one by one, look at how many clothes have not been washed here, if you continue to do this tomorrow, you all wait to be punished!"

Ling Xiaoning was injured because of yesterday's hand, although it will take some time to get better after rubbing the medicine.

She felt a little pain when her hands were wet, and she kept washing, and after only an hour, she felt that her whole wrist had no sensation.

The old palace maid watched the washing of clothes slow down, and hit it again.

"Hurry up, what's the laziness to steal slowly?"

Ling Xiaoning couldn't suppress his anger and stood up suddenly.

"You old people are human beings, aren't we newcomers human beings? Why do you have to treat us like this? The task of the two of you is to help us do a better job together, not to blame and reprimand us...... You said that there are too many of these clothes to be washed, so why don't you help wash them together? ”

"You...... What a big temper, I think you didn't hit hard enough yesterday, and you want to be punished again today! ”

"Today's old lady is not as you like, don't you want to hit my hand? I just won't let you fight, see if you can fight! ”

Ling Xiaoning also had a temper and was unwilling to endure the punishment silently, so he strode towards the courtyard gate.

"You little girl has started to rebel, if you accidentally run somewhere and hit someone you shouldn't bump into, you'll die!"

"Stop, don't run around!"

Ling Xiaoning secretly hid behind a rockery, watching the two old women leave, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked up at the gray, cloudy sky, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

This time I completely offended the two of them, how could I go back to dinner?

Maybe after a long time, the two palace maids will talk nonsense in front of the eunuch and add some trumped-up charges to themselves, and the situation will be even worse.
