Chapter 4 The Lady of the Carriage
The Mansion of the King of Xunche
A group of maids were forming in a circle, laughing and scolding the girl who was kneeling on the ground to pick up clothes.
"Yo, what? Are princesses used to it? Even the pots and clothes are weak? The big girl at the head sneered and looked at the people on the ground.
The man who was kneeling on the ground did not make a sound, nor did he look at her, silently picking up the wet clothes scattered on the ground.
"Wait!" It seems that the troublemaker did not intend to let her go, "What do I ask you?" If you can't hold it, don't force it, let us help, save a while to turn around and run to the oval to complain, saying that we have neglected you!
Yes? Hahahahaha! The big maid who had just stretched out her foot and tripped her led everyone to laugh together.
"Don't bother Sister Xianhe, I'll take care of these clothes." Si Yanyin still didn't look up, she was afraid of exposing the murderous intent in her eyes.
"Don't, what are you doing, Kun...... 崝?? Oh, princess of the country of Kunjiang, how dare we offend? "The maid named Xianhe is not relenting.
"Hehehe, Kun Jiang Guo? What kind of country is that? Why have you never heard of it? ”
"yes, am I alone? I don't know what kind of Kunjiang country is among these five countries? ”
The maids were all brought out of their emotions one by one, and you ridiculed me every word.
"What are the five major powers, that Kunjiang country is a small country, or a small subsidiary country of our Xunche country, then the emperor sends his children out everywhere and stays in other countries as hostages, hahahaha, how small is this guts?"
"Enough!" Si Yanyin put the wooden basin containing the wet clothes on the ground again, raised her head and coldly surveyed everyone in front of her.
"I am now the maid of the prince's mansion, not the princess of the Kunjiang country, the prince once said that no one in the palace is allowed to mention this matter, have you forgotten? Even though I'm a rough maid now, I'm still nominally the cousin of the palace,
Don't you all remember? ”
"Huh, Miss Cousin? What kind of cousin are you, the winner is the king, the loser is the coward, you have the ability to grow wings and fly back to the country of Xunche now, and bring your people to cure our crimes?" Xianhe's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that he had been silent all along
Si Yanyin actually dared to talk back to her.
"What are you doing? If you don't work, hide here and be lazy? A scolding came from the courtyard door, it was the housekeeper of the laundry room.
"Yin'er, why did you throw this pot on the ground? If you don't dry your clothes before sunset today, are you waiting for the people in the house to run naked tomorrow? The housekeeper, Mama Zeng, came over with a bamboo pole.
"And you, what are you doing here instead of working? How? Want to help dry your clothes? Okay, don't leave the next one, since it's you who are delaying the hour, you will all come to help dry your clothes. ”
"What? Why? This...... It's obvious that she's lazy, what is she doing to get involved with us? Xianhe and the maids suddenly stopped.
"Heh, don't listen to me, do you? In the future, whether your clothes are washed in the moat or dried in mass graves, don't let me enter the door of the laundry! Mama Zeng picked up the bamboo pole and was about to pick up the clothes in the wooden basin.
"You, why are you like this, haven't the clothes of the people in this house always been sent here to be washed?"
"Yes, but this laundry is mine, I have the final say, even if the prince makes me unhappy, I won't wash his clothes!" Mama Zeng said.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say....."
Xianhe knows the status of this Zeng Mama in the house, and it is strange to say, she is just a laundry house, but no one dares to mess with her in this house, and it is rumored that because she has saved the life of the prince,
It is also said that she was the nurse of the prince, who knows whether it is true or false, but don't offend this old woman, even if she is the big girl next to the eldest prince, she can only be dumb and eat coptis when she is punished.
Xianhe took a group of troublesome maids to help Si Yanyin dry his clothes, not to mention, and was asked by Mama Zeng to call two maids to help wash the remaining clothes in the pool, shouting that it was too late, it had been raining for the past few days,
The previous batch of clothes is still damp, and if this batch of clothes is not dried tomorrow, everyone will be bare.
In the evening, after the work was done, Xianhe left in a hurry with the maids, Si Yanyin looked back at Mama Zeng who was sitting in the middle of the courtyard, wrapped in the sunset, and thanked him gratefully.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess, the old body said, with me here for a day, no one in this mansion wants to bully you!"
"Mama, here, don't call me any princess." Si Yanyin stood behind Mama Zeng.
"Think about the sunset in Kunjiang Country, it's much more beautiful than this, but it's a pity that I've been away from that for too long." Mama Zeng sighed: "They have always relied on their own big country, bullying us and looking down on people.
This is a man, you can't be so rampant, and the same is true for governing the country. ”
"Mama, be careful that the wall has ears." Si Yanyin looked around vigilantly.
"Huh, ears? The person who stepped into the coffin with half my foot in it, is still afraid of those evil ears? Mama Zeng smiled disdainfully, "Go back quickly, go back to the deceased son to serve, this third son, this is a poor child."
In this house, he is one of the few people I am still waiting to see. ”
"Yes, then I'll go back first, and Mama will rest early." Si Yanjin put the wooden basin back on the shelf, turned around and left the laundry yard.
Princess? She had long forgotten what it was like to be a princess, only knowing that since she was sent to the prince's mansion, the title of princess only brought her endless jealousy and humiliation!
In the troubled times, the princess was not so lucky.
I thought a lot along the way, and as soon as I stepped into the transcription pavilion of the prince absent-mindedly, I was almost smashed by a porcelain bowl.
