Chapter 54: Huiru is beaten
Huiru didn't see Duanwang for three days when she entered Duanwang's mansion, and the princess and the side concubines thought that Duanwang just liked her for a while, otherwise why wouldn't she go to see her for a few days. They think about it during the day and get slapped in the face at night. Duan Wang took care of the folds and walked out of the door of the study. He asked the guard, "How is she?" ”
"Madame has been staying in the courtyard for the past few days and has not come out."
"Well, go to Autumn Maple Temple." The guards carried the lamp and followed the prince to the Qiufeng Courtyard, and at night everyone slept, and the prince himself pushed open the door and entered the house. Huiru lay on the bed and didn't fall asleep, the lamp was lit in the room, she sat up when she heard the voice, and looked up to see that it was the prince.
"Why is the prince here at this time?"
"Should I come during the day?"
"The concubine means that it is very late, why is the prince here now?"
"After reading the excerpts, come and take a look, are the food and accommodation okay?"
"It's all good, thank you for your concern."
"Aren't you going to come and serve my loose clothes?"
Huiru's reaction was a little slow, she watched the prince for a few seconds before she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, put on her shoes, and walked to the prince's side to give him a wide coat.
Her hand had been shaking and unbuttoning several times because of nervousness, and Duan Wang noticed that her hand was shaking, and he held her hand and unbuttoned it together. Huiru blushed and took off Duanwang's coat.
King Duan turned around and went to the cubicle to bathe, and when he left, he said, "Go to the bed and wait for me." ”
Huiru immediately understood what King Duan meant, he was going to rest at her tonight. Huiru turned around and went back to the bed to lie down, she blew out a lamp, and there was only a small lamp left in the house. Duanwang returned to bed after washing, and Huiru had already slept, her eyelashes flickering. Duan Wang saw that she was pretending to be asleep and did not tear her down, he lay down and reached out to take her hand, pulled her into his arms, and fell asleep with his eyes closed. The next day, King Duan got up very early to go to the court, and when Huiru got up, King Duan had been gone for a long time. After her personal maid Xiaocao waited for her to change her clothes and then freshen up, she was brought breakfast, and she was going to the princess to say goodbye after breakfast.
She didn't know this rule, and the girl Xiaocao said that she was going to go and went to the princess's yard. When she went, the princess and the side concubines were there.
As soon as she walked inside, a voice said, "Yo, isn't this Huiru, why did you come so early, it was very hard to serve the prince last night." ”
After saluting the princess, Huiru said, "Serving the prince is the duty of a concubine, so why do you say that it is hard."
"That is, the prince doesn't go to the backyard several times a year, and the prince went to you just a few days after you entered the palace, which shows the prince's love for you."
"The side concubine laughed, who can compare to the princess in terms of love."
The princess, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke: "Huiru sit down and speak."
Huiru found a chair and sat down: "Princess Xie." ”
Another side concubine said: "Sister Huiru is a person who knows the rules, and she has just served the princess and came to the princess early in the morning to say goodbye." ”
"Huiru doesn't dare to forget the rules."
"There are many rules in this big palace, if you don't know, you can come to me and ask."
"Yes, Princess."
"Alright, let's all go back."
Out of the courtyard, Huiru walked behind the two side concubines, and Concubine Xu deliberately walked a few steps slower and waited for Huiru. Huiru stepped forward: "Is there something wrong with Concubine Xu?" ”
"When the prince brought you into the house, he thought he didn't care about you, but I didn't expect him to be seduced by you in just a few days, you are really a fox girl."
"Concubine Xu, don't talk nonsense, which eye of yours saw me seducing the prince."
"If you don't seduce him, can he go to you, the prince went to me before."
"Concubine Xu is unhappy in her heart. When the prince went to you before, you were also a fox, thinking about seducing the prince all day long. ”
Concubine Xu raised her hand angrily and slapped Huiru's face: "Presumptuous, you dare to talk to me like this even if you are a lady." ”
Xiaocao knelt on the ground: "Don't be angry, Mrs. Huiru said the wrong thing for a while, you can spare her this time." ”
Concubine Xu grabbed Xiaocao's hair and pushed Xiaocao back, and then fell to the ground: "Even if you dare to intercede for her, I want to blame her." ”
Huiru covered her face and saw Concubine Xu beating the girl Xiaocao, she ran over and pulled Xiaocao up, she patted the soil on Xiaocao's body and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
"Ma'am, I'm fine."
"What a picture of the deep love between master and servant, it's a pity that the prince can't see it."
"Concubine Xu, why are you beating people?"
"With my status higher than you, I can fight if I want."
"Aren't you afraid that the prince will know the blame?"
"How can the prince blame me for such a trivial matter, if he wants to blame, he has to see my mother's family first."
Huiru understands that her mother's family is everyone, and the prince will not touch her, so she can only endure this kind of trivial matter.
"You understand, be polite to me in the future, this time I will punish you for kneeling for an hour, if you have it, you will not be spared next time."
Xiaocao knelt on the ground: "Concubine Xie spared us." ”
"Kneel well, don't be lazy."
Hui He and Xiaocao knelt on the ground for a whole hour. Xiaocao helped Huiru up, her knees hurt so much that she could walk with pain. Huiru returned to the house and lay on the bed, Xiaocao took the bruise medicine and rubbed it on Huiru's knee, which was a hot pain.
"Madam, if you endure it for a while, it won't hurt."
"Xiaocao, how many years have you been in the palace?"
"I've just been in the palace for half a year."
"Where did you and I do before?"
"Back to Mrs., I used to be a girl who washed clothes."
"I'm afraid you'll suffer a lot after you follow me."
"What did Madame say, don't we girls just want to follow our master?"
"Xiaocao, sit down and rub your knees with the medicine."
"Madam, I'm out of the way, I'm rough and thick-skinned."
"Wipe it, wipe it so fast, I don't want to see you get hurt. Don't protect me in the future, I'll get you covered. ”
"Madam, I will be with you when you are punished, I am your personal girl, you are honored, I am honored."
"Xiaocao, if you are sincere with me, I will definitely not treat you badly."
"Mrs. Xie, Xiaocao is willing to follow Mrs. Xie."
When King Duan returned to the mansion, Uncle Kuan came over to report the situation in the mansion.
"Lord Wang, Mrs. Huiru was beaten by Concubine Xu today."
The prince was walking on the way to the study, and when he heard this, he stopped: "Where is the injury?" ”
"Madame was slapped in the face and knelt for an hour. Her girl had already drugged her. ”
"For what?"
"Concubine Xu said that Madame's disrespectful remarks angered her."
"What did you say to anger her?"
"It is said that it was Concubine Xu who said that Mrs. was a fox who seduced you, and when you went to her, you wouldn't go to Concubine Xu, and then Mrs. said that when you went to Concubine Xu before, wouldn't it be that Concubine Xu was also a fox who seduced you all day long. Then Concubine Xu slapped Mrs. ”
"She really dares to say anything."
Uncle Kuan didn't know who Duanwang was talking about, so he didn't say anything more.
"Uncle Kuan, go and see her, and by the way, tell her not to be reckless in case of trouble, and only with strength can you compete with the other party. Tell her that she can go out on the street if she has nothing to do, and that she can buy whatever she wants, and that she should take a break. ”
"Yes."
