Chapter XVI: Punishment
Lianxin was shocked and angry: "What are you doing here?" ”
"You've ruined all the good flowers, and you dare to talk back!"
"Smack!"
Lianxin was slapped by the other party and almost fell, until now she didn't understand what she had done wrong, she covered her face and looked at the mother-in-law who was doing it in disbelief: "You ......"
"What are you!" The other party stretched out his hand and pushed, Lianxin was a stumbling person, the person who pushed her was a tall mother-in-law, and her hands were heavy, Lianxin was thin like a bean sprout, and she didn't stabilize it anymore, she fell to the ground with her buttocks, her palm was also broken, and the painful tears swirled in her eyes, and she didn't dare to fall down.
"Yo, I just pushed you twice and started pretending to be pitiful?" The woman was full of momentum, rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward to point at Lianxin: "So delicate, what else do you do, how good it is to be the master, and you don't have to do this coolie in the morning in the dew." ”
Lianxin was aggrieved, and she didn't dare to resist, the mother-in-law bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard, seeing that Lianxin was a good one, she was even more rampant, and she slapped the bow left and right, and Lianxin's face was red and swollen, and she also shouted: "See if you dare to waste things like this in the future!" ”
Lianxin bit her lower lip and didn't speak, the woman was frustrated, and stretched out her thin and powerful hand to pick Lianxin up: "Do you dare?" ”
"The slave and maid are the princess's maids, and the princess asks the slaves and maids to do whatever the slaves and maids do."
Lianxin's voice was as low as a mosquito, but her tone was unusually firm.
"You girl has a pretty hard mouth!" The woman laughed angrily at this girl, and tore her mouth when she got started: "Your master is a fool, you girl is also stupid, you can do whatever she asks you to do?" ”
"The princess is ready!" Lianxin suddenly stood up with her loudly, the woman was so angry that Lianxin had to be beaten a few more times.
When the mother-in-law stopped, Luo was already gone, and Lianxin covered her face and cried.
Crying enough, she picked up the flower basket, at this time the sun had come out, she still remembered that the princess had instructed, this petal should be picked back with dew is the best, she is afraid that those little maids will be lazy and slippery, so she comes to the garden early every day to pick, but she doesn't want to meet these people today.
Looking at the petals scattered into mud on the ground, she felt distressed and blamed herself, the tears that had just stopped came out again, she wiped the tears with the back of her hand, and the wound on the back of her hand was also stinged by tears.
The wound on her face didn't dare to let the princess see it, so she sent a little maid to go back to Gong Tianyao's flowers, saying that she got up late and didn't catch up with the best time to pick flowers.
The little maid agreed, but when she arrived at Gong Tianyao, she told all the things about Lianxin: "Sister Lianxin went out before dawn today, and came back in an hour, but when she came back, the basket was empty, and her face was also injured, she still didn't want me to see it, I asked her if she wanted to take medicine, and he said it was okay, but I saw that the injury on her face was very serious......
The little maid was still talking to herself, Gong Tianyao couldn't wait for her to finish, grabbed something and went to Lianxin's house. Lianxin was taking a target mirror to apply medicine by herself, and when she saw her coming in, she didn't hide it or cover it, so she had to scream dryly: "Princess......"
"What's wrong?" She walked over quickly, carefully inspected the wounds on Lianxin's face, Lianxin subconsciously blocked it with her hand, she grabbed her wrist, looked at the wounds on her hands of different depths, and asked word by word: "I ask you, who did it?" ”
"It was the slave who accidentally fell, just put some medicine on it." Lianxin lowered her head: "The princess doesn't have to worry about the slaves. ”
Gong Tianyao didn't care about her struggles, opened the small bottle she brought, poured out some and rubbed it on her wound, and couldn't hide the distress in her voice: "I just prepared the ointment, I didn't expect you to be the first to use it!" ”
The ointment was extremely cool to apply, Lian Xinxian couldn't help but gasp in pain, and after a while, the pain subsided a lot, and she looked at Gong Tianyao gratefully: "The princess is really good to the slave." ”
Gong Tianyao gave her good medicine, put the medicine bottle on the table, and said with a straight face: "Okay, you haven't seen it yet, tell me who made you like this!" ”
"It's really a slave who accidentally ...... herself"
Lianxin's mouth was deflated, although she felt very wronged, but she refused to let the princess wade into this troubled water for herself, it was better to knock out her teeth and swallow it, and this matter would be over.
"It's Mrs. Xu......"
Lianxin was shocked, and when she looked up, she saw Yun'er standing at the door and said with a look of displeasure: "The slaves and maids have seen it, it was Mrs. Xu who beat Sister Lianxin like this." ”
"Who is Mrs. Xu?" Gong Tianyao is still very unfamiliar with these people in the palace.
"She's the old mother who takes care of the garden." Xiaoqing hurriedly said.
When Gong Tianyao heard this, she was about to go to find the mother-in-law Xu, and Lian was anxious: "Princess, don't ...... it."
Gong Tianyao walked fast, where could she stop her, Lian scolded Xiaoqing angrily: "It's all your fault, we are slaves, we solve troubles for the master, how can we make trouble for the master!" ”
Xiao Qing was angry: "You are the person next to the princess, that Mrs. Xu doesn't know what crazy she smokes today, and she dares to beat you, the princess doesn't give her some color to see, how can we get a foothold in the palace in the future?" ”
Lianxin was speechless, only glad that Luo left early, Xiaoqing only saw Xu Pozi do it to herself, but didn't see that it was Luo who found fault first.
She didn't rest, and hurriedly ran to the garden to find Gong Tianyao.
When he rushed over, he saw Xu Pozi kneeling on the ground trembling, kowtowing and begging for mercy, Gong Tianyao looked gloomy: "Who is just you doing this?" ”
"The slave should die, I misunderstood Miss Lianxin, and no one instructed the slave, and I begged the princess to spare the slave this time for the sake of the slave's age."
Xu Pozi begged bitterly, and Gong Tianyao sneered angrily: "Why didn't you think that you were a person of a lot of age when you started beating people?" ”
Xu Pozi was speechless for a while, and Gong Tianyao said coldly: "Pull her down for me, slap her mouth thirty!" ”
Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to step forward at all, they all knew that Mrs. Xu and Luo were in collusion, and they couldn't be provoked easily, so no one dared to touch her for a while.
Gong Tianyao was furious, but she could still restrain her anger, and said word by word: "Okay, no one will do it, then the princess will do it herself!" She rolled up her sleeves unhurriedly and walked towards the curled up Xu Pozi.
"Princess, Mrs. Xu is so old, you can let her go this time, the old man may have made an unintentional mistake." One of the onlookers begged for mercy for Mrs. Xu.
Gong Tianyao swept over with a look: "Then why don't you come and be punished on her behalf?" ”
The man was frightened by Gong Tianyao's stern tone and expression, and shrunk his neck and didn't dare to make a sound.
