"The emperor said that these little things are not a problem, but I am afraid that someone will make a fuss about it, and I want my mother to be careful."

Shen Tingting nodded: "Write it down." You go back. ”

Ma Gonggong hurriedly left, and Shen Tingting felt at ease at this time, wrapped the white fox fur on her body and went all the way to Hualin Palace.

Passing by a garden halfway, I heard a wail from a distance, Shen Tingting frowned, paused and looked thoughtfully at the depths of the garden, this early in the morning, I don't know which master is here to punish the maid, crying so sadly.

Seeing this, the maid hurriedly walked a few steps towards the garden and looked forward: "I don't know which maid who doesn't know what to do here in the morning, and I was shocked by the mother's drive!" However, the slave guessed that it was just a maid in the palace who was teaching the maid in the palace, and the maid still left it alone! ”

Shen Tingting just wanted to stretch out her hand to stop it, but unexpectedly, the voice of the maid inside begging for mercy came from the wind: "Concubine Shu spares her life, and the slave doesn't dare anymore." ”

The voice was very clear, through the cold in the wind and snow, it burned all the way into Shen Tingting's ears, Zuo Tingxue had already informed her to pay attention to this person last night, Shen Tingting only felt a tremble in her heart, as if she had seen some opportunity, the movement of her hand paused, and she followed the maid into the garden with a turn of her toes.

"Let's go, go in and have a look."

"The garden here is idle, there is only a bluestone road to enter, and few palace people clean it, so Niangniang should be careful." Zhaoyue led the way in front, looking for the invisible "road" to bring Shen Tingting into the garden.

It's just an ordinary small garden, there is no flowering in the imperial garden, here are all withered flower branches intertwined, only a bluestone path is left in the middle, but the heavy snow last night actually covered the bluestone path, if it weren't for the clear footprints above, Shen Tingting couldn't find a way to enter the garden.

It leads directly to the direction of Cining Palace, and it is a shortcut to Kunning Palace.

The girl's crying voice was getting closer and closer, Shen Tingting unconsciously rolled up her sleeves, tugged at the cuffs, and took out the brocade that Zuo Tingxue gave her yesterday and held it in her palm.

In the middle of the garden, there were several mothers who grabbed a half-sized maid and pressed it on the snow, and behind her, there was an older grandmother holding a very thin and long vine branch in her hand and couldn't stop whipping the maid.

"Mother, the slave knows it's wrong...... Spare the slave and maid...... Woo woo woo woo ...... "The girl was crawling on the snow, her long hair scattered all over the ground, and the contrast between black and white jumps was very obvious.

It seemed that the maid was only twelve or thirteen years old, and she was not yet an adult. The mothers' hands were extremely merciless, and they were all strong at once.

Shen Tingting frowned, and stood there for a long time without seeing the mother raise her eyelids to look at herself, so she had to move her throat and said, "Stop!" ”

The mother only paused for a moment, and looked at the master standing in front of her. The first glance wandered up and down Shen Tingting's body, and when he saw Shen Tingting's gorgeous clothes, he hurriedly said to Shen Tingting with a smile on his face: "Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." It's just that he was ordered to teach a girl, but it stained the eyes of the mother. ”

As soon as the thrashing stopped, the sound of the maid's pumping could be clearly heard. Shen Tingting bent her eyebrows and said to the mothers with a smile: "I don't know which palace maid offended which master, today there is a plum banquet in the palace of the concubine Niangniang, but you are still punishing the subordinates around here, so I am afraid it is not good to hit the moldy head of the concubine Niangniang." ”

The mother was slightly stunned, looked at Shen Tingting carefully and said, "Thank you for mentioning it." But we are also doing what we are told......"

"Whose order can you still set up a private torture hall in front of the public?" Shen Tingting sneered.

The mother was so shocked when she saw Shen Tingting so aggressive, and she was covered in cold sweat, and she thought for a long time before she said: "Niangniang, the slaves and maids are really wronged!" This maid is the forsythia who serves close to the concubine, and the concubine was invited by the concubine to go to the Hualin Palace to enjoy the plum blossoms at the invitation of the concubine, and the girl did not know how to offend the concubine, so there was a scene of the slaves punishing the girl, and there was no selfish punishment hall. ”

Seeing that Shen Tingting was dressed extraordinarily, and in response to the rumors in this palace, the mothers could probably guess Shen Tingting's identity in their hearts. On one side is the concubine Shu who has just come out of the mountain, and on the other side is the concubine Ning Niangniang, who is a saint, both sides are masters and have a bright future, and no one can be offended.

But after suffering, these subordinates were taken to be happy at will.

Seeing those women kneeling on the ground and trembling all over, they didn't even dare to breathe, their bodies were as soft and weak as wilted eggplants, where was there still half a minute of momentum when they had just beaten someone?

Shen Tingting's heart softened, and she brushed her sleeves and said: "Okay, you should accept a favor from me Shen Tingting, and I will go to the concubine Niangniang, you go down first." ”

The mothers were stunned, and then kowtowed to Shen Tingting and hurried away in the snow.

Shen Tingting gave Zhao Yue a look back, and Zhao Yue pursed her lips and took two steps back, leaving some space for Shen Tingting and the maid who was still lying on the ground crying silently.

The maid knew that she was saved, so she knelt down in front of Shen Tingting and said, "Thank you Niangniang for saving your life." Slaves and maids can't repay them for being cows and horses. ”

Shen Tingting reached out and helped the maid up, and said with a smile: "What nonsense? Since they are all human beings, why should they be willing to be cattle and horses? ”

The maid didn't dare to cross the distance, so she quickly broke free of Shen Tingting's hand and struggled to stand up by herself, staggering away from Shen Tingting, probably because of the injury behind her, Forsythia stood slightly shaky.

Shen Tingting didn't seem to care about the girl's estrangement, and reached out to open the forsythia's sideburns, only to find that it was a very delicate little girl, with clear tear stains on her face, and snow under her chin. The maid was wearing a small water-red palace jacket, which was supplemented by delicately embroidered daisies.

Shen Tingting raised her eyebrows, looked at the embroidery on the dress and said, "You embroidered it yourself?" ”

As soon as he mentioned the embroidery on his body, Forsythia seemed to have found something to be proud of, and smiled extremely sweetly, looked down at the patterns on his body and said: "Yes, the jackets in this palace are always the same, and the tailors of the garment bureau will not pay attention to the clothes of the maids. If the mother likes and does not dislike the clumsy handwork of the slave maid, the slave and the maid will come up with a pair of tricks to send you over one day. ”

Shen Tingting raised her eyebrows: "Do you know who I am?" ”

The maid was stunned for a moment and said: "The master in this palace who can be so luxurious and does not look ostentatious is afraid that there is only the rumored Concubine Ning Niangniang." Is the slave and the maid clumsy? ”

Shen Tingting was amused by Forsythia's words, "You are shrewd, how can you not be ostentatious?" This is the first time I've heard of this. ”

Forsythia hurriedly said: "No, Niangniang is different. The concubine Niangniang has only recently come out of the harem, and the slave maid has followed the concubine behind her and has seen the Niangniang several times from afar, no matter what the situation, the Niangniang is smiling with a smile, making people look close. ”

Shen Tingting squinted her eyes, as if she was not interested in Forsythia's praise, but reached out and stroked the daisies on the shirt that seemed to be printed on the fabric, and said softly, "Oh? There was no more sound.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Forsythia asked in a low voice.

Shen Tingting came back to her senses, put down her hand and said, "It's okay." ”

Between the sleeves, a piece of Luopa flew off from Shen Tingting's sleeve, fluttering and falling on the snow-white ground, which happened to fall at Forsythia's feet, perhaps because Naropa was too light, Shen Tingting suddenly didn't realize that her things were lost.

Forsythia suddenly changed his face, and he only glanced at Shen Tingting quickly, and hurriedly raised his foot to step on Naropa, sweating on his forehead, but he still squeezed out a smile at Shen Tingting.

Shen Tingting didn't seem to be aware of it, and only explained to Forsythia: "Okay, you go back first." When I go back, I will ask Concubine Shu for a favor, and your matter will be considered in the past. In the future, it is better to be vigilant, as soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and it is not just these girls who are talking about it. ”

Forsythia nodded hurriedly: "Thank you for your teachings, today's kindness, Forsythia will never be forgotten." ”

Shen Tingting nodded with satisfaction, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, turned around and greeted Zhaoyue and walked out of the garden.

After walking far away, Shen Tingting looked back at the garden thoughtfully, her eyes flickered but she didn't know what she was planning.

Calling Yue frowned and said: "Niangniang, the things between the various masters in this palace are complicated, and today Niangniang is acting on behalf of her, which seems to be kind, but I am afraid that she will leave a bane." ”

"Hmm......" Shen Tingting groaned, and suddenly smiled: "I'm afraid it won't leave a bane." ”

Zhao Yue blinked her eyes and wondered, "Niangniang did it on purpose?" ”

Shen Tingting bent her eyebrows and looked at Yin Tao's small mouth, which was about to stuff an egg, and said with a smile: "I didn't mean to." It's just that there are too many things in this world that don't bloom when they are intentionally planted and willows are unintentionally planted, but they make me rush back to coincidence. ”

Zhaoyue shook her head: "The slave doesn't understand." ”

Shen Tingting thought for a while, held Zhaoyue's hand and said, "You don't have to understand, I have something for you to do, you don't have to follow me to Kunning Palace......"

Zhaoyue's hand shook, pursed her lips and said, "Niangniang......"

Shen Tingting patted Zhaoyue's hand and said firmly: "The stakes are very high, and I can only rest assured if you go." ”

Seeing Shen Tingting's solemn expression, Zhaoyue really looked like she had something important to entrust, so she hurriedly straightened up and said: "Niangniang commanded, the slave and maid must go to the soup and go to the fire." ”

Shen Tingting whispered a few words in Zhaoyue's ear, and heard Zhaoyue's frowning for a while, her expression was sometimes surprised, sometimes solemn. After a long time, the two separated, Shen Tingting smiled like a flower, and only patted the hand of Zhaoyue heavily: "Can you write it down?" ”
