Sometimes, it is very easy for a person's authority to fall.

Although Xia Fan lowered her head, didn't look at the queen, and made a deferential gesture, everyone knew that this aunt in her fifties was not afraid of the queen at all.

Why is Xia Fan not afraid of the queen?

For a while, those smart and clever palace maids who served the queen had some thoughts in their hearts that they couldn't think of before: Aunt Xia Fan is not afraid of the queen, so what, what is there to be afraid of the queen.

The queen's mother's family has no skills, she has no wrists, and her strength is not as big as that of ordinary palace concubines, and since the unfortunate death of the old aunts who followed the queen to give her advice, she has no one to mention it, and she is not as skilled as before.

Now, her own son, the crown prince, can disobey her opinion in person, so why can't Xia Fan disobey her?

This discovery made the hearts of several palace maids rise with joy mixed with fear, and the joy was because they watched the woman who had been held high in the clouds on the phoenix throne fall, and the panic was that even if this woman fell into the mud, she still had the right to decide their life and death at will.

At this time, when they looked at the queen's clenched fists, clenched teeth, and the green tendons on their heads, they understood that the queen herself knew this best, and her anger came from the panic of being powerless about things.

If Concubine Shui lives for a day, the queen must not move for a day. And Xia Fan came to Yan Qingge's side, which means that she can't move Yan Qingge for half a minute.

This may be a good thing, with Xia Fan's care, the prince will definitely not be able to take advantage of the loopholes several times to attack Yan Qingge like before. But this matter is disgraceful, which is tantamount to telling the people in the palace that the queen did not take good care of Yan Qingge, a guest, but asked Concubine Shui to reward an old concubine who is not a relative.

The queen had no choice but to put on a reluctant dry smile, and squeezed out a hypocritical voice from between her teeth: "Aunt Xia Fan is old, so she doesn't have to worry about trivial matters, just follow Miss Yan and enjoy the happiness." I'll give my aunt something here, and I'll have someone bring it to you later." ”

Xia Fan thanked him for his kindness, and silently turned around and went back to Yan Qingge.

In accordance with the "will" of the queen, Xia Fan only stayed with Yan Qingge and did not work, but this did not mean that she did not speak.

In the evening, Ruyi went to the dining room to receive the meal, she came back with a little difficulty carrying a box full of meals, saw Yan Qingge, and said: "Miss, you want to eat something light tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to get what I want, so I took two taels of silver, and the father-in-law over there didn't accept it, and knelt down to kowtow to me, saying that the eldest lady wants to eat in the future, just say, don't bother him." ”

Ruyi said as she put the food outward and showed it to Yan Qingge: "That father-in-law put six plates of fresh dishes for me, as well as five or six plates of their new kimchi, and asked the eldest lady to try the taste." ”

Yan Qingge looked at the dishes on the table in surprise, all of them were full of color and fragrance, not only did they use plain and light ingredients, but they were also very particular about cooking.

She immediately figured out the reason, looked at Xia Fan, Xia Fan smiled slightly, and said: "Miss Yan can use it with peace of mind, they are slaves raised in the palace left and right, and they don't take money from their pockets to cook, and it is right to honor you." ”

This matter is inseparable from Concubine Shui and Xia Fan. Obviously, she wanted to eat something she liked, and the silver she gave to the eunuchs in the dining room, but they all accepted it disrespectfully. Now that the attitude has changed, it must be the power of Concubine Shui in the dining room, and she has received instructions from above.

Yan Qingge sat down, and Biling and Taoxi walked in with a gray face outside.

Concubine Shui hung them at the gate of the palace until the night dew first appeared, and then she said that she woke up, and she didn't ask them to see them in person, but only let them put down their things, and then drove them back.

Seeing that Yan Qingge had already eaten, Tao Xi said softly: "It's Tao Xi who came back late, fortunately, there is still Sister Ruyi, otherwise it would be a sin to delay the young lady's meal." ”

Xia Fan's eyes flashed, and he looked at Bi Ling, who was standing behind him and didn't come forward, and said, "You two, come back and kowtow and go to change your clothes and come back to serve." ”

After being scolded by Xia Fan, Taoxi lowered her head and retreated with Biling, and came back after a while, having already washed and changed her clothes.

Yan Qingge ate almost the same meal, and was about to call Ruyi to pour a cup of tea to drink, but Taoxi hurriedly came up to work.

Aunt Xia Fan coughed and said, "Taoxi, you put it away!" ”

Tao Xi looked at Xia Fan in confusion.

Xia Fan said slowly: "You are the aunt in the palace, but the young lady is not married yet, and you can't do this kind of thing of purifying water and food and getting close to the young lady in the future." ”

Momoxi's eyes widened little by little! Xia Fan said this, saying that she was not clean, and she was not asked to touch Yan Qingge and the things around her.

It's insulting! What's more, she is the prince's woman, she has been on the living note, and after the bright road, Xia Fan is ambitious and leopard guts, and it even hints that she is dirty.

Unexpectedly, Xia Fan turned pale and said, "If you are not satisfied, you will go back to Chuxiu Palace, and you will never use it again." When the old slave arrives, he immediately goes to Chuxiu Palace to kowtow to Niangniang to make amends, and let Niangniang cut it with a thousand knives! ”

Listening to Xia Fan's words, Tao Xi almost broke the gong, and endured it for a long time before her eyes turned red.

She knew the purpose of the prince in placing her by Yan Qingge's side, and she also knew that the prince had never taken her to heart. In the prince's heart, Yan Qingge is the most beautiful and precious gem in the world, and she can't be overtaken of it.

But why did Xia Fan also bully her and insult her.

Bi Ling quietly showed a gloating smile, Xia Fan seemed to have eyes all over her body, beckoned to Bi Ling, who was secretly happy, and said, "You come to pour tea for Miss." ”

When Bi Ling first arrived at Yan Qingge's side, there were five or six people, and seeing that she was now overpowering Taoxi, she pinched her body, stepped forward, and took out the style of a palace maid, and even used the fancy tea ceremony kung fu that she had learned a few hands to pour tea for Yan Qingge.

Before she could pour the water, Xia Fan coughed, her eyes swept over Bi Ling like electricity, and she said slowly: "Miss Bi Ling, is this tea poured like this?" ”

Bi Ling was stunned for a moment, just poured a cup of tea, she didn't turn her back to Yan Qingge, she also whispered to Yan Qingge before she poured, every move can't be described as elegant, is there something wrong?

There was a touch of ridicule on Xia Fan's face, and he said, "Let's go! It seems that you were sent by the queen to serve Miss Yan, and I am afraid that you will be kicked out. ”

"Aunt Xiafen, what did Biling do wrong, please ask Aunt Xiafen for advice." Bi Ling's face turned red, and she was not convinced.

Even Yan Qingge next to him wondered for a while, where did Xia Fan find Biling's fault.

Yan Qingge knows some tea ceremony, she can see that Biling's gestures and actions of pouring tea have already used some simple tea ceremony skills, which is already very rare in the palace maids.

"Why don't you hold the handle of the pot in one hand, but don't you protect the spout with the other?" Xia Fan smashed out a sentence.

Bi Ling's face was stunned, because she didn't have much strength, the pot was full of tea, and the weight was large, so she held the handle of the pot with both hands, but she didn't expect Xia to pick this thorn. Although the porcelain in the palace is of good quality, and the lid will not slip off the spout easily, there is still a chance that it will fall off.

This point is indeed something she took for granted and did not think about it thoroughly.

She just wanted to say that she would change it next time, but Xia Fan said again: "If you are waiting behind Miss Yan, why do you dare to stand so high and serve in front of her." ”

In the palace, respect and humility are very important, especially not to put your butt in the face of the master, let alone be taller than the master. This point stabbed Biling's death hole.

Before she could say anything, Xia said like a cannon: "Are you going to pour water into Miss Yan's cup like that?" If you don't take the cup to Miss Yan's place, you don't see if there is any residual water and dirt at the bottom of the cup, and you don't try whether the tea can be eaten first? ”

Bi Ling was inexplicably ashamed to be questioned by Xia Fan. She really didn't take these things into account. Especially this pot of water was soaked in advance by Ruyi, and the cup was brought by Taoxi, she wouldn't have thought about it so much.

In the past, in Fengzao Palace, she was not qualified to serve in the queen's house, but she always thought that she was already the most outstanding person in the palace, so she could enter Fengzao Palace to serve, but she didn't expect that just by pouring a glass of water, she was picked out by Xia Fan so many problems.

Looking at Bi Ling's flushed face, Ruyi escaped in the dark way. Fortunately, it wasn't her who poured tea for Yan Qingge, otherwise she would have been picked out by Xia Fan even more.

Xia Fan said lightly: "I'm old and in poor spirits, so I can only teach you to learn the rules for half an hour every day in the future. ”

Driving Bi Ling and Tao Xi out of the door, Yan Qingge looked at Xia Fan with admiration, as soon as this aunt came, she did what she wanted to do and couldn't do for a few months, she was really capable.

Moreover, with such high standards and high requirements as Xia Fan, if she wants to become a qualified palace maid, she only learns for half an hour every day, and she is afraid that when Yan Qingge leaves the palace, Biling will not be qualified. She was finally able to comfortably get rid of the state of being stared at by Biling and Taoxi.

Ruyi didn't see Yan Qingge clearly, and she waited for Yan Qingge with trepidation. Although she has learned simple rules, she is from outside the palace, and she feels that she can be faulted by Xia Fan for a while.

While pouring water for Yan Qingge, she peeked at Xia Fan, and tried her best to bend her legs, making herself shorter than Yan Qingge, focusing on three purposes, and not paying attention, not only filled the cup with a full amount of water, but also flowed out of half of the table.

This is a mistake that ordinary maids should not make, Ruyi was shocked for a while, and almost didn't cry, but the old god was there, sitting there, as if he didn't know what was going on.

Yan Qingge couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said, "Ruyi, what you usually look like, what you look like today, look at what scares you." ”

Xia Fan also smiled gently at Ruyi: "Ruyi girl doesn't need to be restrained. ”

Seeing that Xia Fan was so good to herself, Ruyi was frightened, she jumped out like a frightened rabbit, and shouted, "I'll go get the tablecloth." ”

She didn't know that if her current actions were to be changed to Biling or Taoxi, she was afraid that she would be scolded to death by Xia Fan.

That's the difference!
