Chapter 17: Threat of Dispute

When Zhu Qing returned to the inner hall, Empress Dowager Zhao put down the red pen, sat up straight and stretched her muscles, and saw that Zhu Qing came to the eyebrows and showed a little tiredness, "Come and press my shoulder." ”

Zhu Qing responded with a smile, went around to the back of the Empress Dowager Zhao, kneaded it with a pair of hands with proper strength, and saw that the Empress Dowager closed her eyes, and her eyebrows stretched for two points before she whispered what she had seen.

"Do you want to help her?"

"Since it is the work assigned to her, she should naturally do it alone, you help today, and she will help tomorrow, shouldn't there be chaos in this palace?"

After a pause in the movements of Zhu Qing's subordinates, Empress Dowager Zhao opened her eyes, raised her hand and patted the back of Zhu Qing's hand to signal that she could stop. Empress Dowager Zhao turned her head and looked at her undisguisedly,

"If she can't even cope with a little palace maid, it can be seen that she is not a person who can take on big responsibilities. But you, who have been with me for so many years, have a soft heart? ”

Zhu Qing's expression changed, and he was about to kneel down but asked Empress Dowager Zhao to hold him, "It's not that I blame you, it's just that I don't need to teach you many truths anymore, huh?" ”

Zhu Qing's face gradually calmed down, and he lowered his eyebrows and blessed his body, "The slave knows." ”

Empress Dowager Zhao slowly closed her eyes again, "Pass the meal, you pinch it for me for a while." ”

Xie Wan naturally had no way of knowing what happened in the inner hall, she dragged back to the ear room with some heavy steps, but the food had already been used cleanly, and only Wutong still had a bowl of rice in front of her.

Xie Wan's eyebrows twisted, and she walked over to pick up the bowl of rice, she didn't think that anyone else would have had lunch like herself.

Wutong slapped the table and stood up, and scolded sharply, "Who allowed you to touch this bowl of rice!" ”

Wutong's eyes swept the room, and said, "This is for Lychee." ”

Xie Wan's eyes became impatient, "I'm done with the work, now I want to eat, what's the problem?" ”

Wutong's heart suddenly blocked, what she couldn't get used to was Xie Wan's indifferent appearance of not caring about anything and not afraid of anything, as if everyone else was a clown jumping off the beam.

Wutong knocked over the bowl of rice with a raised hand, and with a bang, the porcelain pieces splashed at Xie Wan's feet. A sharp piece even cut Xie Wan's leg, and the smell of blood spread in the small ear room.

"Okay, let's eat."

The white rice was spilled on the ground, stained with mud, and Wutong hugged his arms and stood tall like a victorious rooster, and said sarcastically, "You deserve this." ”

Xie Wan's face was gloomy, she was not a clay man with no temper. On the side, a timid palace maid looked at Xie Wan's face and looked ugly, and she also stepped forward and pulled Wutong's sleeve, "Forget it, sister, wait carefully and invite Mama here." ”

Wutong shook off the palace maid, "I can't scare my grandmother, she made a mistake as a low-level sprinkler palace maid, and I don't have to teach me a lesson." Didn't you all see with your own eyes and listen with your own ears as she spoke to humiliate me? ”

Wutong's eyes swept over, and the little palace maid immediately lowered her head and nodded hurriedly.

Xie Wan hung his head and looked at the rice on the ground and didn't know what he was thinking, Wutong turned around and snorted, and then crossed Xie Wan and went outside, and bumped Xie Wan hard when he passed by Xie Wan, "Who eats what food, God has set it, no matter how high it is, it's useless." ”

Xie Wan leaned down and picked up a piece of broken porcelain, then turned around and strode after Wutong. One hand grabbed Wutong's neck and pulled it back, and the cold porcelain piece pressed against Wutong's face, pressing out a red mark.

"I don't care about you, I really think I'm afraid of you, don't I?"

Wutong's heart was shocked, her eyes couldn't stop glancing at the porcelain piece in Xie Wan's hand, her heart was uneasy but she still pretended to be calm, but her trembling voice had betrayed her, "You...... Do you dare to kill people in the Queen Mother's Palace? ”

The porcelain piece in Xie Wan's hand was pressed down again, "If the palace maid hurts her face, she will never be able to do decent work anymore, Sister Wutong understands this better than me." ”

Wutong's face suddenly turned pale, and his whole body was trembling. Xie Wan relented at this time, and pushed the person out, "Don't use those boring tricks anymore, they are all begging for a living under the master, why bother each other." ”

Clank - Broken pieces of porcelain fall to the ground.

Xie Wan turned around and returned to the room, and without paying attention to picking up the kettle, he poured it directly into his mouth, and the cold water sprinkled on his face finally suppressed the nameless fire in Xie Wan's heart.

The sycamore behind him was caught by someone, and he gasped heavily, but the light in his eyes became more resentful.

It is not a small crime for the palace maid to quarrel in private, Xie Wan expected that Wutong would not dare to expose this matter in front of Zhuqing, and he also intended to kill Wutong's prestige.

What's more important is that Wutong's appearance reminded Xie Wan of the old eunuch in the court.

The old eunuch had a pickled mind about Xie Wan's mother, always thinking about Fa'er's humiliation and coercion of the two, Mrs. Xie was once forced to eat a bowl of glutinous rice like this, and the old eunuch was also surrounded by people and stood aside, yin and yang weird, "What a noble lady, now she is going to starve to death and she will not eat everything." ”

Xie Wan closed his eyes and tried to get those messy things out of his mind, but his arm was pushed, Xie Wan suddenly opened his eyes and was a little terrifying, the little palace maid was so frightened that she took two steps back, and then carefully moved closer, took out two pastries from her arms and stuffed them into Xie Wan's hands.

"Eat it, don't let anyone find out that I gave it to you."

"Thank you......"

Before he finished speaking, he ran out, but Xie Wan recognized the person, it was the little palace maid who had stopped Wutong.

With such a noon scene, there were a lot of Ansheng in the afternoon, and Wutong did not embarrass Xie Wan for a few days later, and even looked at Xie Wan with the same calm in his eyes.

At noon on another day, everyone had finished lunch, and Wutong suddenly stopped Xie Wan.

"I remember that you came from Si Yuan Division in the past, and this afternoon the flower room will send some flowers, so you will take care of the bottle and put it in the inner hall, be careful not to bump into something."

This is reasonable, Xie Wan did not shirk it, and responded very happily. I also secretly thought in my heart who would send the flowers, and it would be good if I could see the old people.

Sure enough, Xie Wan saw Luzhu in the afternoon, and the eyes of the two of them lit up, and the two of them also gossiped a few words in the free time, nothing more than taking care of each other and something. Before leaving, Lu Zhu pulled Xie Wan and reminded in a low voice

"I've heard that this sycamore in Shoukang Palace is not a good person to want to talk to, and she still holds a grudge, you must not conflict with her."

Xie Wan blinked innocently and smiled, "I know, it's really different to be a waiter, and I'm worried about it." ”

Thinking of the abnormality of Wutong in the past few days, Xie Wan understood something in his heart.
