51 Punished
Although the two husbands like to bully newcomers, they have also been bullied before, their hands are covered with calluses, they are less than 20 years old, and their hands are like when they are fifty or sixty years old.
Ling Xiaoning couldn't help but sigh when he thought about his dark life in the future.
When the old woman heard this, she angrily knocked her back with a wooden board.
"Ah......h
"What are you sighing here? Hurry up and do your laundry? ”
"Talk as you speak, hit people at every turn......"
"What's wrong? It's not good to teach you a lesson, you don't know a little rule when you just enter the palace, if you don't teach it, let you accidentally offend some nobles, I'm afraid that when the time comes, not only will you be punished, maybe your family will be implicated! ”
Ling Xiaoning rolled her eyes in her heart, lowered her head and washed her clothes silently, too lazy to continue arguing with them.
Anyway, whatever you say is wrong in front of them, so it's better not to say it.
Among the four new palace maids, there was one of the youngest palace maids, who couldn't stand it anymore, so she sneaked into the room to rest while the two old women were not paying attention.
A husband found a problem after you came back, and immediately arrested the little palace maid and beat him badly.
The little palace maid was just 12 years old, and her white skin was beaten to the point that her flesh was open and she screamed.
The other two palace maids couldn't bear to look at it, and the corners of their eyes were slightly moist.
Ling Xiaoning also felt a burst of hatred in her heart, but she had no choice but to continue to endure it and speed up her laundry.
There are actually two or three departments in the palace that are mainly responsible for washing clothes. The clothes they wash in this department are the clothes of some palace maids or eunuchs with slightly higher status, and they are not responsible for washing the clothes of those expensive nobles.
Therefore, there is usually a lack of discipline here, and the old man and daughter are the sky here, and the earth here, and they are bullied and have nowhere to redress their grievances.
Ling Xiaoning has watched a lot of palace fighting dramas before, and although he doesn't want to cause trouble, he still can't avoid being punished.
Because he accidentally washed a piece of clothing, he was punished, hit 20 strokes, and couldn't eat for a day.
The thin-looking bamboo strips hit the hand board, and after 20 strokes, the swollen old high skin was about to lose a layer.
Ling Xiaoning grinned in pain whenever his palm touched anything.
When the other palace maids were eating, she walked to a corner alone and cursed.
"Sooner or later, you disgusting tongue women are going to have an accident, and in a few years you are lucky enough to work, and if you want to get married, you must marry those stinky men who abuse you every day...... Who knew that you had such a lot of hearts, and you would definitely not end well! ”
As soon as it got dark, everyone stopped and prepared to rest.
The 4 new maids lived in one room, and the other two maids lived in one room.
Ling Xiaoning couldn't sleep hungry, so she secretly pushed open the door and slipped out, planning to go to another room to look for it secretly to see if there was anything left to eat.
The average palace maid can only eat two meals a day, and the simplest porridge steamed bun in the morning.
Although the pair in the afternoon will have rice and vegetables, the portions are limited, and each palace maid is only barely able to cushion their stomachs, and they can't eat enough at all.
Ling Xiaoning thought about it, and he didn't know how long it would take for him to suffer like this in the future, and he felt a burst of pain and regret in his life.
Even if she is a good person, she will not bring such a good person, let others live a normal life, and suffer in the palace herself.
She would rather sacrifice herself to fulfill such a great kindness to others, why doesn't God open her eyes and give her good luck?
Even if the offense can't be promoted and rich all at once, you can arrange a more relaxed thing and meet a good husband and daughter to lead.
Instead of being like this old palace maid who only knows how to reprimand people all day long, it is like an old palace maid who has persecution paranoia.
Ling Xiaoning walked around the room in the entire courtyard and didn't find anything to eat.
She had no choice but to sneak out of the yard and head outside.
The palace is like a labyrinth, and one road leads to this one, and at once I encounter several forks in the road, and I don't know where to go.
"This ...... Song Zhiqiu also lives in the palace now, and he doesn't know where his palace is, if only he could be found. ”
Ling Xiaoning was scurrying around, and accidentally met a eunuch who looked very arrogant.
The eunuch scolded sharply, "Where are you the little palace maid?" Why are you wandering around so late? ”
"The slave is ...... The one who helped to deliver the message to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, but it was not clear where His Royal Highness the Great Prince's palace was. ”
"Your Highness's residence is the courtyard in front of you."
"Thank you, sir, for your advice!"
Ling Xiaoning felt a burst of excitement in his heart, and quickly ran towards the palace in front of him.
The place looked quite close, and it took me half an hour to reach the entrance of the park.
Song Zhiqiu's park gate looks very imposing, and you can imagine what kind of comfortable life he lives in the palace.
Ling Xiaoning opened the door gently, worried that someone would ask him how to explain it for a while, and he was surprised to find that it was quiet inside, as if there was no one.
She still quietly touched the corner of the wall and walked inside.
Two guards stood guard in the corner.
Ling Xiaoning sneaked around, and was about to enter the room when he was discovered.
"Who dares to sneak in!"
"Don't get me wrong, I'm here to find His Royal Highness the Prince......"
"A little palace maid actually dared to come to His Royal Highness the Prince......"
"Uh, no, I knew His Royal Highness the Prince before, and I don't believe you called His Royal Highness the Prince out......"
Song Zhiqiu heard the noise outside and walked out of the room inside.
He looked up and saw the smile of the palace maid not far away, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"This little palace maid is right, there's nothing going on here, you go to the door and keep guard!"
The two guards hesitated and bowed their heads slightly.
Ling Xiaoning let out a long sigh of relief, ran to him excitedly, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
"It scared the hell out of me just now, but luckily you showed up in time. There are so many rules in this palace, I knew that this was the case, and I didn't say anything about coming in......"
Song Zhiqiu turned around slowly, put his hands behind his back, and his voice was cold.
"Now that you know that there is no other place in the palace, you dare to break into my dormitory so casually, and you are not afraid of being killed on the spot as an assassin."
"I ...... Actually, I was so hungry that I wanted to come out to find food, but I didn't know where to go to find food, so I thought I'd come to you for help. ”
"Come here."
Song Zhiqiu slowly walked towards the room inside.
Naturally, his room is magnificent, not only the area of the room is much wider, but also a lot of decorations, each of which looks well-made.
