Chapter 46: Provocation

Shi Tao's face changed color, and she glared hard, the golden hairpin on her head trembled, and the corners of her eyes jumped. The goddesses of the Tang Mansion were not good, and their eyes were all staring at Zi Ning and Xiang Gui, eager to swallow them alive.

The maids in the palace watched the excitement on the side, and saw that Zi Ning was very articulate, and Xianggui was not a good stubble, so she secretly wrote it down in her heart.

Luhuan pulled Xianggui's sleeve and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't say so much, be careful that she hates you in her heart." ”

Xianggui shook his sleeves and said, "Green Ring, what are you afraid of." This is the palace, how can she bully us to the end? If we don't hold our faces, we will definitely be crushed to death in the future. ”

Zi Ning thought to herself: "If you are oppressed by others as soon as you come, it will be even more unpredictable in the future." This Shi Tao is arrogant, and she has to make inches, if she doesn't extinguish her majesty at this time, don't expect to clean up this crazy thing in the future. ”

Standing up, Zi Ning threw a contemptuous smile at Shi Tao, and said coldly: "Is the burn on your face healed, and you forgot that it hurts again? The vicious dog that eats still has a memory, but you are not even as good as a vicious dog, who is the person who knelt on the ground and kowtowed that day? Who is the person who splashed the boiling water on his face? You are gossiping about the palace here, you are not afraid that Ligu will come to reprimand you, you should also think about the strength of the frost goose, maybe you should invite her over at this moment and let you lose face again!"

Shi Tao was so angry that her face turned sallow, she took a step forward, pushed Zi Ning's shoulder viciously, and scolded: "You cheap hoof, but you are just an inferior girl, and you dare to talk back to this girl!"

Zi Ning's injuries were almost healed, sensitive and light, seeing her pushing over violently, she hurriedly pulled out and flashed, Shi Tao's strength was unloaded, and she pounced on Yao Er with a "whew".

"Poof!" There was a sound of water, Yao Er stood behind Zi Ning's side, was pushed hard by Shi Tao, her feet were unstable, her hands swung back, and the whole person fell into the pond heavily.

Zi Ning turned around and shouted anxiously: "Yao'er!"

Seeing that there was a dispute between the concubines here, a mother-in-law had already invited Mama Qing to come over, and when she saw Yao'er falling into the water, she immediately ordered someone to salvage her. There was a commotion among the maidens, but fortunately, the pool was not deep, and the waterline only flooded Yao'er's chest.

After being rescued, Yao Er coughed violently twice, soaked with cold and fishy dirty water, but her hair was soaked, dripping wisps of water.

When Shi Tao saw Mama Qing coming, she immediately rolled her eyes, pointed at Yao Er and scolded: "This little slut has a black hand on me behind his back and throws a caterpillar into my collar!"

Yao Er squatted on the edge of the water pavilion, wiped her wet hair with her hands, and said angrily and sadly: "I didn't throw caterpillars, you want to harm Zining and accuse me again!"

Stretching out her hand to Shi Tao, her face was pale, her brows were furrowed, twisted into a lump, and she was extremely angry. Raising his hand and flicking his sleeve vigorously, the water splashed, and the other women immediately dodged, worried that the skirt would be wet.

Zi Ning hurriedly lowered her body and wiped her hair with a handkerchief, and the others looked at each other, but they didn't know what the situation was, so they didn't make a sound, and only surrounded them to watch the excitement.

Luhuan glared at Shi Tao angrily, and asked: "Obviously, you deliberately pushed people, but you took a bite, Yao'er didn't throw a caterpillar, and we will testify to her." ”

Turning his head, he saw Yuanping standing aside, and hurriedly said: "Yuanping, you saw it all just now, tell everyone about it, have we wronged Shitao!"

Yuanping's face was indifferent, he glanced at Yao Er, who was drenched, and said calmly: "I didn't see anything, there is an awkward quarrel between you, don't pull me in!"

Mama Qing stretched out her sleeves and brushed aside the onlookers, her wrinkled old face shook, and she said unhappily: "What's going on, I didn't see it at a glance, and all kinds of incidents occurred, and you still don't understand any rules." ”

A mother-in-law next to him also shouted: "Mama just taught me two days ago, if anyone has nothing to do, and those who pinch the tip and cause trouble, all of them will not be spared." After a little more work, someone fell into the water, could it be that she jumped into the pool because she was too hot?"

Shi Tao stepped forward with red eyes, grabbed Mama Qing's sleeve, sobbed and said, "It's all Shi Tao's bad, it's annoying Mama." A large caterpillar was thrown in the collar, and he was so frightened that he was so annoyed that he accidentally pushed the girl into the water. Shi Tao regretted it, knew that it was wrong, and asked Mama to punish her. She looked aggrieved and seemed to be more pitiful than anyone else.

Qing Mama likes to be flattered, seeing that Shitao speaks politely and humbly, she puts her first in everything, and she looks very moving, thinking that even if there is really a mistake, she is unwilling to punish her. What's more, Shi Tao has always been sensible, and as soon as she entered the mansion, she secretly handed over a lot of gold and silver benefits, and she only needs to turn a blind eye to her affairs. Turning his eyes to look at Yao Er, a pair of eyes glared at Shi Tao, full of anger and hatred.

Yao Er was soaked, seeing Shi Tao reversed black and white, she was already so angry that she rolled her eyes, stretched out her hand to her, and said in a trembling voice: "You ......" When she was about to say a few words, Mama Qing waved her hand coldly and said: "Go back to the house and change into clean clothes, this is wet, with a cloak and a disheveled hair, and there is no individual!"

Falling into the water did not hurt people's lives, it was just a trivial matter, Qing Mama was too lazy to ask about the merits, and reprimanded and taught the maids a few words, and left with the two mothers-in-law.

Zi Ning helped Yao Er up, seeing that her body was weak, her wet clothes were sticking to her skin, she was shivering with cold, and she couldn't help but feel guilty and pity, and said: "It's all my fault, even if you fall into the water and get frozen, let's go back and change our clothes quickly, it's bad if you are damp." ”

The maidens from the palace had blank expressions, and this matter had nothing to do with them, and they had no intention of hating the enemy. Yao Er bit her lip tightly, turned her head and saw that they didn't care about anything, she couldn't help but sigh at the indifference of human feelings, and her face became even paler.

Seeing this, Xianggui snorted coldly and said, "Is this all from the palace, Yao'er is really not like them." He turned his head to Yao Er and said, "In the future, you will be with us, don't pay attention to these ruthless and unrighteous people." Today, you should be unlucky, you were bitten by a vicious dog, and my sister will help you bite it back another day!"

Shi Tao held on to the railing of the water pavilion, looking proud, with a ruthless smile on the corner of her mouth, and smiled weirdly: "When you enter the East Garden, you should think clearly, these people are all opponents competing for favor, and whoever suffers can only blame her for her own misfortune." Don't even think about it. The fewer women left in Dongyuan, the more chances there are to be favored!"

Zi Ning glared at him and said, "People like you, you always have nothing to find fault with, deliberately provoke and frame others, what benefits can you get?" I can't figure it out, just when the ladies of the Tang Mansion are all such temperamental, they don't stop after being idle for a long time, and they are happy to see others unlucky.

Seeing that her face was ugly, Luhuan hurriedly grabbed her and whispered, "Ning'er, don't make trouble again." We are all low-grade girls, she is a middle-grade girl, and she has given Mama Qing benefits, even Aunt Li may not care about her. Let her hate and poison you, and she will stumble and harm others in the dark. ”

Although what Luhuan said was reasonable, Xianggui was not afraid, stopped Shi Tao who was leaving, and said coldly: "I don't care if you did it on purpose or not, Yao'er fell into the water, you pushed it, and you admitted it yourself." You should go and give Yao'er a gift, don't think about slipping away like this!"

Shi Tao sneered, rolled her eyes at Xianggui, and turned around to leave. Xianggui grabbed her sleeve, and the two immediately tore up, and Shitao saw that her strength was not as strong as Xianggui, so she hissed and shouted: "Mama, come and see, they are bullying!"

Xianggui was in a hurry, afraid that Mama Qing would turn around and come back, and scolded: "You shut up for me, who bullied you, let you give Yao'er a salute......" Both hands pushed forward, Shi Tao's feet stumbled on the steps, leaned back, and fell into the pool.

The women were shocked, and the ladies of the Tang Mansion shouted: "Shitao has fallen into the water, hurry up and save people!"

Xianggui crossed her hands on her waist and scolded: "She deserves it, and let her taste the taste of cold water!" turned to Zi Ning and the others and said, "Let's go, ignore her!"

"Stop!" shouted a deep voice, "get her!"

As soon as Zining and the others turned around, they saw a man in a military uniform holding a waist knife and striding towards a meteor. He was followed by two rows of guards, all with solemn expressions, wearing soft-armored armor and wide-mouthed scabbards around their waists.

All the women panicked, not knowing the identities of these people. I saw two guards step forward, grab Xianggui's arms left and right, and without waiting for her to struggle hard, escorted to the leader of the team.

The man in military uniform looked indifferent, looked around at the women and said: "We are Lord Su's guards, from now on, all the girls must keep their duties, if there is a fight, it will be the end of today." He raised his head and ordered in a cold voice: "Escort this troublesome girl into the forbidden room, face the wall for three days, and not be released!"

Xianggui was so shocked that her face was discolored, and she shouted that she was wronged. Zi Ning saw Shi Tao being pulled ashore, and hurriedly said: "We didn't cause trouble first, how can you indiscriminately escort Xianggui into the forbidden room!"

The leader of the guards looked at Zi Ning coldly, and said gloomily: "Do you want to go with her, you don't eat or drink for three days, can you think about it?"

When Lu Huan heard this, he hurriedly grabbed Zi Ning, gave a salute and said, "Lord Guard, we know that we are wrong, and we hope to forgive us and take it lightly." The leader of the guards snorted heavily and shouted, "Escort this girl down, and the others will disperse." The ladies were in a panic, saluted, and hurried away from the water pavilion.

The green ring dragged Zi Ning away, Yao Er walked behind them, turned her head to take a look, and saw that Xianggui was escorted away by the guards, and she couldn't bear it, but she was helpless.

Back at the residence, Zi Ning sat down on the couch angrily and said, "Those guards are too hateful, it's obviously Shi Tao's fault, but they want to punish Xianggui!"

Luhuan sat down beside her and said, "Ning'er, don't be angry, you are still such a reckless character, if you stand up for Xianggui, you can only end up like her, both of them are locked in the forbidden room, what can you do?" Seeing that Yao'er's face was blue and cold, Luhuan hurriedly got up and took clean clothes for her to change.

Zi Ning forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and said to Lu Huan: "You help Yao Er change her clothes and comb her hair, and I'll go to the dining room to cook some hot ginger soup." ”

Yao Er hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold her and said, "The dining room is full of greasy smoke, where the slaves and maids stay, don't go." ”

Zi Ning slapped her hand and said with a smile: "I used to be a maid in the big dining room, and I was the least afraid of greasy, and I told my mother-in-law to cook ginger soup, they were inevitably lazy, and I didn't worry." ”
