Chapter 4: Trials

In the early morning, everything is silent, and the eastern horizon glows with a glimmer of light, carefully infiltrating the light blue sky.

Qingling's voice sounded in Siwan's ears: "Madam, wake up, Madam?" ”

Siwan asked in a blurred sense, "What's wrong?" Is there anything urgent? ”

Qingling continued: "Madam, we need to go and greet the old lady today. ”

Siwan sat up suddenly: "What? Why do you still have to say goodbye? Isn't this a rule that only exists in the palace? Why did this rule appear in Xie Mansion? ”

Qingling pulled her to sit down by the mirror and groomed her: "Oh, this is the rule that has been implemented in all palaces in the past two years, the old lady said that if she and General Xie are not there in the future, you will be the head of the house, and this please means that she will only think that it is you who will be the head of the house in the future." ”

"Then this greeting ceremony must be very important, is there anything different from the palace? Also, who will be there for a while? Siwan asked urgently.

"The old lady said, you can just say hello in the same way as in the palace, and there will be General Xie Lao, the regent and the old prime minister Bai and others present in a while, as long as the princes and generals who have a little touch with Xie Chen in the court are here." Qingling began to change her clothes.

"Huh? So many people? What should I do if I'm nervous? Is there anything else to do after please? She asked again.

"There is still a meeting after Please, and you shouldn't be able to go first at that time, you can listen to the old lady's arrangement." Qingling said.

Siwan OS: "How is this process so similar to the process of asking the other concubines to say goodbye in the morning?" ”

"Okay, princess, take a look, do you think it's okay?" Qing Ling finally asked.

"Oh, you don't have to look at it, it's too late if you don't leave!" rushed straight out of the room and ran to the main guest room.

In the main guest room, all the people were present, chatting about the affairs of the DPRK and China, and they were all talking and laughing.

"Mrs. Xie Chen has arrivedβ€”"

This shout made everyone in the room look in the direction of the door, and the old lady showed a look of surprise on her face.

The beauty in front of her, with long hair in a cloud bun and waist-length hairpins, wearing two hollow tassel gold hairpins, does not need to draw any heavy makeup on her delicate face, it is enough to be beautiful and moving, her hair is blown by the wind on her cheeks, and her lips are closed and she adds a touch of charm. Wearing a pink butterfly gown on the outside, a white dress on the inside, a red jade bead tassel on the waist, and a pair of smart apricot eyes. Like a fairy descending to earth, wearing a delicate jade bracelet in her left hand, holding a pipa fan without losing the temperament of everyone's ladies, no one is close to her face.

Siwan tried her best to restrain the nervousness in her heart, so as not to accidentally say the wrong thing: "Courtier, please say hello to the old lady." ”

Her head bowed slightly, not daring to raise it, for fear of accidentally looking at a minister and getting nervous.

The old lady said with a smile on her face, "Okay, come here, sit down first, sit down and then talk." As he spoke, he gestured to the chair next to her.

Siwan was sweating nervously: "Thanks, old lady." I wish the old lady happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan! "I got up and did it as fast as I could in that chair.

Siwan was very glad that it was the old prime minister Bai sitting in front of her, otherwise if she changed someone else, she really wouldn't even dare to raise her head.

Then I heard the regent say: "Oh, what is the princess in the harem, the clothes are always so dignified and magnificent, Xie Chen is really blessed." ”

Listening to his speech, you can see that he is an outspoken master, which is conducive to expressing his opinions in the court.

Siwan listened to the voice, followed the sound, and saw that there was a young man in front of her, with picturesque eyebrows, well-dressed in snow, under the sword eyebrows, narrow eyes like gurgling spring water, warm as a spring breeze. The entire capital belongs to him, and he has the most kind of temperament of a son.

Siwan OS: "This person, everything is good, but his mouth is a little broken, easy to talk nonsense, who doesn't know that I was born to be everyone's beautiful princess Pingle." ”

Old Prime Minister Bai stood up at this time: "Old lady, we will discuss state affairs in a while, but ...... It's a little inconvenient. His eyes glanced at Siwan from time to time.

Siwan also knew what he meant, she used to sneak out of the palace to play with Bai Li, and after a long time, Old Prime Minister Bai gradually learned that she didn't like crowded occasions, especially when it was eye-catching, it would make her feel very uncomfortable. Siwan OS: "You are really my timely rain, I am willing to recognize you as my father-in-law!" ”

The old lady looked at Siwan in a daze: "Wan'er, why don't you ...... first"

Before he finished speaking, another person walked in outside the door, it was Xie Chen, he looked around at the people around him, and finally fell on Si Wan, and looked at the old grandmother: "Grandmother, my grandson is here to pick up my wife back, after all, she never likes crowded occasions, and I ask my grandmother to forgive me." ”

The old lady didn't say much, waved her hand, and let Xie Chen go out with Siwan.

The moment she went out, she felt that the air she breathed was fresh, and the feeling was like the joy of Nirvana's rebirth. I couldn't help but laugh.

Xie Chen said: "How is it? Am I here just in time? Are you so happy to leave you? ”

"You came very timely, I feel that when you came, your body was radiating light, it was just my timely rain!" Siwan said excitedly: "Then again, do you have anything else to do when you come to pick me up?" ”

The embarrassment on Xie Chen's face was revealed: "That, I found out who did it, it was my grandfather who did it." ”

"What? Why? Siwan asked.

"I don't know why, but the news that we were in bed last night seems to have spread among the slaves." Xie Chen scratched his head and said.

"How do you know this? Who did you listen to? Siwan asked.

"Just, when I was looking for someone to repair the bed today, there were a bunch of slaves and maids at the door, and they were still whispering and snickering there before they saw me pick you up in the morning." Xie Chen explained.

When Siwan heard him speak, she immediately thought of what Qingling said to her yesterday, "Xie Chen is very good at that", and then thought of the old general Xie who made hands and feet on the bed and caused the bed to couch, and instantly had a clue, OS: "Perhaps, Old General Xie heard the words of the slaves and maids, and felt that he couldn't let the slaves and maids laugh at his grandson, and then made the bed with his hands and feet, deliberately letting the slaves and maids hear, which made them think that Xie Chen was not a bad master." But isn't the slaves' mouths a little too broken...... Oh no, what's going on! He said, "Then I'll teach them a lesson!" Look at their broken mouths in the future, do they dare to talk nonsense! ”

Xie Chen hurriedly stood in front of her: "Don't be impulsive first, we can't clean them up." ”

"Why is your master so powerless? Can't even clean up the subordinates? Siwan taught him a little angry: "I am the princess of this country!" I don't believe I can't clean up those slaves! ”

"It's really not good, they are all old lady's people, but they are temporarily managed by my father, what do I dare to do if the old lady doesn't agree." Xie Chen said.

"Is this what the old lady meant?" Siwan asked him angrily.

"Almost, the key is that this matter is not something we can handle, so don't meddle." Xie Chen said.

"Why am I married to you, a thing that can't beat a fart with three sticks, you don't care, I'll take care of it!" Siwan walked straight towards the slaves. As he walked, he thought: "Just a man like you, who is grinding and chirping, it's strange that my later stand-in can agree to go upside down with you, now think about it from the perspective of the stand-in, if you don't know a little romance, who would want to play this two-person turn with you......"

Xie Chen looked at her back from behind, revealing a smiling expression.

"According to the ordinary rules, there is a boss among the slaves and maids, and this boss should also be a big speaker, if there is no mouth of hers, it is estimated that other slaves and maids will not casually discuss the master, and she, she generally manages the amount of food for these slaves and maids, so when it comes to food, this person will definitely be in the ......" Siwan thought about it before and after, and finally found a few guards to guard the kitchen door.

"Bang-" Siwan took the folding fan given by Xie Chen, kicked open the door of the kitchen, and the slaves and maids who were cooking inside, when they saw that Princess Pingle was coming, all lined up in a row, and knelt down to worship: "See the princess!" ”

"There are not so many rules and regulations in my place, so they all stand up and speak for me! Tell me, who's the boss of you? Come out! Now she didn't restrain her anger at all.

When the slaves heard this, they glanced at each other's faces, and tacitly took two steps back, and the only one who didn't retreat was the boss.

"You're their boss, huh?" Siwan asked.

The slave nodded: "It's the slave." ”

Siwan thought in her heart: "This is really enough to speak, eighty percent of them know that these people will not betray her." Small, play with me like this? You don't look at who I am, and where did I grow up? In this regard, I am at the level of my grandfather. Then he said to her, "Go out first, go ten meters and stop, and I will say something to them, and I will call you in a moment." ”

Watching her go out, she walked ten meters and didn't move. After watching it for a while, she was still not at ease, so she let a good guard look at her and feel relieved.

She closed the door, fanned her fan, and walked around the slaves and maids, thinking: "This body is thin, and when you stand there, you think that whose child's freshly broken branch is standing there, it seems that the so-called boss usually makes things difficult for them." Sitting on a certain chair: "I know that you have been oppressed by her for a long time, and today, your good days have come, as long as one of you stands up and says that she is guilty of arguing about her master, I promise that your food in the future will be better than now." Whether you are hungry or full, weigh it yourself. ”

She stared at the unmoved slaves in front of her without saying a word, and suddenly saw someone who seemed to come out of the team, but before she could reach Siwan, she was slashed by the slave next to her with a knife, and she was dripping with blood.

The blood was first-class, and the slaves and maids all panicked and screamed. Fortunately, Siwan's voice was louder than theirs, and she shouted: "Don't move!" They were a little quieter, and stood aside, their eyes closed, not daring to look at the sight before them.

"Someone! Fast! Take the injured to the doctor! In addition, take this slave who deliberately hurts people to the yamen to receive punishment and surrender! Two guards came in at the door, one with the wounded slave and the other dragging her just as she wanted to leave.

"Wait!" Siwan didn't hesitate, grabbed her arm, and scratched one of her eyes with the sharpest peak of the fan.

"Ahh

She watched the blood drip by drop, listened to her wails of pain, and watched her tears slide to the floor drop by drop, and a feeling of pleasure arose in her heart: "How does it feel to be scratched and bleeding?" Isn't it uncomfortable? Then he patted her face and said, "If you are caught by me for such reckless behavior next time, I will be merciful and let you go to the underworld to join the queue for free, you know?"

He turned to the guard and said, "My imperial brother is the head of the yamen, you take her to meet him, as soon as my name is mentioned, he will know what is going on, give her to my imperial brother and you can leave." Remember, don't let her run off the road, or you'll see her! ”

"Yes, ma'am! Subordinates understand! ”

Then he looked at the murderer who was shaking and said, "You heard that just now, right?" I've prepared a big gift for you inside, and you'd better go inside and have enough stamina to see yourself in the end. Take! ”

"Siwan! I wish you a good death! The slave's voice sounded from behind, farther and farther away.

After those people left the house, Siwan licked the remaining blood on the fan and looked at the slaves and maids: "If you do this kind of behavior in the future, I will personally send you away, do you understand?" ”

Those slaves and maids saw with their own eyes the scene of killing and punishing the decisive Siwan, and they were all stupid, and nodded vigorously.

Siwan looked at these people and only nodded and didn't speak, thinking that her behavior was not enough to scare them, so she shook the fan in front of them: "I have a lot of things that you don't know, are any of you curious and want to see?" If you can stand up, I'll demonstrate it myself. γ€ž

Everyone was about to go crazy by her behavior, and they all knelt down in front of her at the same time, and replied in unison: "I said, I said it all, she made us talk about the master in vain, I didn't spread it outside, just occasionally chatted a few words, as long as the princess doesn't kill me, I will listen to you in the future, I am willing to swear allegiance to Her Royal Highness the princess!" Please be gracious to Her Royal Highness the princess and let me go! ”

Siwan felt a little funny and thought: "This idea is really tacit." ”

"Then next time, if I know who dares to talk about the master's words again, I will serve her by hanging in the palace, and then, I will add one more sentence, in the future, you will supervise each other, whoever argues about the master will die, and the person who reports it, I will reward her with a copy of the slave release document and return her freedom, whether she wants to die, live or be free, you choose for yourself, okay, get busy, I'll go first."

"Congratulations to the princess!"

As soon as Siwan opened the door, she saw her grandmother, Xie Chen and General Xie were looking at her at the door, and at that moment, Siwan felt that time had stood still.

The old lady held her hand with a smile: "Well, yes, you are decisive in doing things, decisive in killing, you really deserve to be my granddaughter-in-law." ”

This made Siwan confused: "What does this old lady mean?" Why does it feel like it's thanking me? He asked what was in his heart: "Grandmother, what do you mean by that?" Wan'er didn't understand. ”

Xie Chen: "Oh, you haven't seen it yet, in fact, what I said just now about the old lady meant 'testing your ability to deal with problems, Originally, I thought that you were dignified and reasonable, and I was afraid that you would not be able to handle these slaves and maids, so I asked me to pull her over to see the situation, but I saw a few guards around the door from afar, and after a few seconds, I saw a guard walking towards the direction of the medical hall with a slave maid, and the old grandmother felt that you would definitely not be able to handle it, so she pulled me over, and when we walked to the door, I saw you scratch the slave's eyes with your own hands, and the old grandmother said to me: "According to your strength, her eyes must be blind." "Then I think you are a little interesting, decisive in killing, clean and neat in handling things, and finally prevent them from making mistakes again, the old lady is also very satisfied, she is now, she must like you more than before. Grandmother, am I right? ”

The smile on the old grandmother's face was never hidden: "Yes, yes, my grandson is right, hahaha." I'm getting more and more like you now! ”

Siwan's eyes looked back: "Not good! Something is not good! The guard and the slave are gone! ”
