After Emperor Yong'an appreciated enough, he put away the scepter and said to Jia Qianqian: "I can get the scepter, your credit is the greatest, so let's transfer this credit to your father, come on, immediately go to the palace of the three princes to announce the decree, and appoint Jia Feiwen, the former prefect of Anyang, as the servant of the ministry." ”

Jia Qianqian was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to thank him.

Emperor Yong'an said again: "As for Jia Qianqian, you will stay in the Huanyi Bureau in the palace for the time being." ”

Jia Qianqian asked puzzledly, "Why do you want to keep me in the palace?" What does the Raccoon Bureau do? ”

Emperor Yong'an didn't answer her, and said to the eunuch beside him, "Take her down." ”

The eunuch received the order and took Jia Qianqian to the Huanyi Bureau. Jia Qianqian asked as he walked: "This father-in-law, what does the Huanyi Bureau do?" The little eunuch replied, "It is a special place for the masters of the palace to wash their clothes." ”

Jia Qianqian was stunned, "Why? No, I'm going to see the emperor, I'm not a palace maid, why should you leave me here to wash clothes, I won't do it! "I turned around and went back to find the emperor. The little eunuch grabbed her, "Don't be presumptuous, this is the palace, how can you come here." "Actually, don't say that Jia Qianqian doesn't understand, he doesn't understand either, the emperor just said that this girl helped her find the baby and wanted to reward her, but the emperor promoted her father's official on the one hand, and punished her to the Huanyi Bureau on the other hand, and she is not a person in the palace, the emperor's move is really incomprehensible.

Jia Qianqian came to the Huanyi Bureau with annoyance, no wonder people say that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, this emperor is really moody, he helped him find the scepter, he is good, and he has to stay in the palace to work.

The little eunuch handed Jia Qianqian over to Aunt Xia, the steward of the Huanyi Bureau, and left. The old palace maid in the palace is called aunt, this Aunt Xia is an old palace maid who has been in the palace for more than 20 years, and she is very powerful. Although she didn't know how Jia Qianqian was punished to come to the Huanyi Bureau, when she came here, she had to be at her mercy, and immediately shouted at Jia Qianqian: "What's your name?" ”

Jia Qianqian held back his anger and replied, "Jia Qianqian." ”

"Remember, I'm Aunt Xia who is in charge here, and when you come here, you must abide by my rules, don't be lazy, hurry up and go to work, and wash that pile of clothes."

Jia Qianqian looked at the pile of dirty clothes as high as a hill in the big wooden basin, and his head suddenly grew big. "I don't know how to do laundry." Just kidding, there are so many clothes, I'm afraid I won't be able to wash them until tomorrow. I think she Jia Qianqian is also the daughter of an official family, how can she ever do a little rough work?

"Can't wash? Are you the eldest lady of the daughter? If you don't finish washing quickly, not only will you not have food, but you will also be beaten. ”

Still going to be beaten? Jia Qianqian panicked, what kind of disaster did she suffer? Suddenly, she didn't say a word, she pulled her legs and ran to Jing'an Palace, she was going to find Emperor Yong'an to ask clearly, what mistake did she Jia Qianqian make, and she wanted to treat her like this.

"Ahh Someone, catch him! Aunt Xia immediately screamed. So, several palace maids and eunuchs ran behind Jia Qianqian's ass to catch her. Although this Jia Qianqian doesn't know martial arts, she is not a weak woman, she ran fast in a hurry, and was caught by the eunuchs who surrounded her in front of the Jing'an Palace. Jia Qianqian immediately shouted: "I want to see the emperor, you let me go, I want to see the emperor, I didn't make a mistake, why should I be left in the palace to wash clothes?" ”

When Emperor Yong'an in the Jing'an Hall heard her voice, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to the little eunuch beside him: "You go and tell the manager of the Huanyi Bureau that you can torture her as much as you want, but you are not allowed to beat her." ”

The little eunuch hurried out. At this time, Jia Qianqian had already been escorted to the Huanyi Bureau, and the little eunuch hurriedly grabbed Aunt Xia, who came over, and told the emperor's will. Aunt Xia was also a little confused, and asked in a low voice, "Father-in-law, which maid in the palace is this girl?" What is the purpose of the emperor's will? ”

The little eunuch glared, "How can a slave be vainly skeptical of the holy will, this girl only entered the palace today, anyway, what the saint commands, you can do it." ”

"Yes, yes!" Aunt Xia didn't dare to inquire anymore, and went back to the Huanyi Bureau, she wanted to discipline this disobedient girl well. However, the emperor didn't allow her to beat Jia Qianqian, but made her very restrained, how could she torture her if she didn't fight?

said to a few palace maids and eunuchs: "You guys are staring at her, if she doesn't wash her clothes, hold her down and ask her to wash, don't give her food, the emperor said, except for not beating her, you can torture her as much as you want." ”

Jia Qianqian was so angry and depressed, where did she make the emperor unhappy, and she had to treat her like this? No wonder Long Xiao is so domineering and unreasonable, it turns out that there is a father and a son.

She was angry, so she soaked all these clothes in a basin with water, and stirred them there with a mallet. Aunt Xia sneered on the side: "If you don't wash well, you will be hungry for a day, when you wash it, when you can eat." ”

It's okay that she didn't mention eating, but when she mentioned eating, Jia Qianqian felt her stomach growling. In the morning, before he had time to eat, he was carried into the palace to see the emperor, and now that it was lunch time, he naturally felt even hungrier.

The palace maids of the Huanyi Bureau had gone to eat one after another, and the two eunuchs were watching over her. Jia Qianqian angrily hung the clothes that had been soaked in water to the clothesline, and the two eunuchs immediately shouted and pulled the clothes back, and pressed Jia Qianqian to ask her to wash them. Jia Qianqian was angry and threw his wet clothes at the eunuch. The two eunuchs were drenched, and their anger suddenly rose. However, this also reminded them how to punish Jia Qianqian, and the emperor only said that he couldn't beat her, but didn't say that he couldn't pour water on her.

At this time, Aunt Xia also came over, and the three of them immediately cooperated, the two eunuchs grabbed Jia Qianqian, and Aunt Xia picked up half a bucket of cold water and poured it on Jia Qianqian's head. Although it was noon and there was sun in the sky, the whole body was drenched in cold water in the cold weather of spring, and the taste was naturally unpleasant. The three of them stopped forcing her to do the laundry, and stood to the side gloating at her. Jia Qianqian fetched water like crazy, wanting to pay tribute to them. But how could the enemy outnumber the outnumbered people, and the result was drenched again. Jia Qianqian, who was drenched all over her body, was so frozen that her teeth began to tremble, and the droplets of water on her hair dripped down her cheeks, but she still stubbornly did not beg for mercy and did not shed a single tear. Aunt Xia saw that she was so tough and refused to beg for mercy, so she became even more angry, and brought a bucket of water to pour on her, and tossed it for half an hour.

The fight with Long Jie was stopped by his father's dictation, and when he returned home, he learned that Jia Qianqian had entered the palace. Long Xiao, who hurriedly entered the palace, learned that Jia Qianqian had been punished to wash clothes in the Huanyi Bureau, and as soon as he rushed into the Huanyi Bureau, he saw a heart-wrenching scene in front of him. Long Xiao roared, grabbed a little eunuch, and threw him into the well next to him. Only then did the rest of the people find out that the eldest prince is coming, and they hurriedly knelt down.

Stunned by anger, Long Xiao didn't even look at these people, he just kept throwing people into the well, and he didn't even let go of the palace maids who didn't make a move and watched the excitement on the side. The palace maid and eunuch in the distance were frightened, and hurriedly went to find the guards to save people, and someone went to report to the emperor. Long Xiao saw that Jia Qianqian was shivering with cold, grabbed her hand, pulled her to the two palace maids not far away, and said, "Hurry up and bring her to your room, help her take off her wet clothes, and change into your clothes, quick!" ”

Although the two palace maids were not wet, they could see the scar hideous, and the fierce prince trembled more than Jia Qianqian, and hurriedly pulled her to the residence to change clothes. When Jia Qianqian came out after changing her clothes, Long Xiao, who was guarding outside, picked her up, rushed out, and roared angrily to the little eunuch beside the emperor who hurried over outside: "Let the imperial doctor hurry to my house." ”

Jia Qianqian's face was pale, but her expression was indifferent with indescribable grief. Gritting the root of his teeth, he didn't let his teeth rattle and chatter, but his body couldn't control the shaking. Long Xiao carried her into the carriage, went up himself, and told the coachman to return to the house as quickly as possible. The carriage was galloping, Jia Qianqian was almost out of breath by his hug, his head was buried in his chest, and the tears of grievance finally couldn't help but gurgle down.

Long Xiao hugged her tighter, eager to rub her into his bones. Why? Where did she anger her father and punish her like this? It wasn't until the carriage left the palace and was about to arrive at Long Xiao's courtyard that Jia Qianqian's body had a trace of warmth, and it didn't tremble so much. Long Xiao asked in a deep voice, "How did you anger your father, and he wanted to punish you like this?" ”

Jia Qianqian struggled to raise his head and roared angrily: "He, like you, is a madman, an unreasonable person, where did I provoke him?" He also said that I would reward him for helping him recover the scepter, but after he promoted my father, he turned around and sent me to the Raccoon Bureau, and I still don't understand what angered him. ”

Long Xiao hugged her tightly again wordlessly, and he didn't know why his father did this.

After returning to the courtyard, someone had already prepared hot water for her to take a bath to ward off the cold, and then brought ginger soup for her to drink, but Jia Qianqian, who was lying on the bed, still began to have a fever. The imperial doctor who came in a hurry hurriedly checked her pulse, Long Xiao's expression made the imperial doctor tremble, almost even the pulse was difficult to see, after prescribing a lot of fever and cold medicine, seeing that he did not open his mouth to stop him, he immediately ran out of the mansion of the great prince.

Long Xiao had a gloomy face and said to Xiao Dezi: "Take good care of her." Then he went back to the palace.

Emperor Yong'an seemed to have expected him to come, and sat on the dragon chair in the Jing'an Hall and waited for him.

Long Xiao went in, without even the least courtesy, but asked straight to the point: "Why, why do you punish her so much?" ”

Long Xiao went to the Huanyi Bureau to save people and threw the eunuch palace maid into the well, someone had already reported it to Emperor Yong'an, so he said lightly: "Because I want to test how much you love her, because I want to give you a chance to save beauty as a hero." ”
