Chapter Ninety-Nine: Self-Inflicted Humiliation

In the early morning of the next day, Nian Nian opened the door and was startled, only to see two rows of younger palace maids standing neatly outside her house.

Nian Nian was very uncomfortable, and slowly moved to the nearest little palace maid, and asked in a low voice, "Well, what are you all doing standing here, don't you have to serve the princess?"

The little palace maid chuckled when she heard this, and saluted her slightly, "This sister, it is the princess who ordered us to wait here for you to come out, the princess said, let us fully cooperate with you to repair the soul stone." After she said that, she looked at Nian Nian with hope, "Sister, do you really have a way to restore this broken soul stone to its original appearance?"

was stunned every year, and it turned out that Zhenyu was worried that he couldn't handle it alone, so he called so many people to help. Nian Nian was very moved in his heart, but then smiled bitterly, this thing is not something that can be done by many people.

As soon as Zhenyu entered the palace, she was stared at by the eyes of Bafang, and it can be seen from the generally low age of these palace maids that the queen mother really changed the law and didn't want Zhenyu to have a better time, so she sent these ignorant and inexperienced palace maids to serve. But even so, Zhen Yu still allocated a considerable number of people from these people to Nian Nian, which shows that she is quite concerned about this matter.

Since this matter is so important to Zhenyu, then I must do my best to do it well. Nian Nian smiled gently at the little palace maid: "What's your name, why don't you see the princess and the other maid beside her?"

The little palace maid was stunned for a moment, and then replied happily: "The slave maid is called Xiaoxi, the princess was invited by Concubine Lan of Suxin Palace to speak early this morning, and the princess told us not to wake you up in a hurry, saying that no matter what you do today, let us follow you." ”

Nian Nian nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "Xiaoxi, you go and move the big pots of chrysanthemums in my room to the yard with everyone." ”

Although they are not very old, they have a lot of strength and do things quickly, and after a while, they put the flower pots neatly in front of Nian Nian.

Looking at the flowers competing to bloom every year, standing in front of the first pot from left to right, and back again, I couldn't help but shake my head.

These flowers are all very good, but they are all mortal, and at least no spirituality can be found in them every year. If there is no spirituality, the essence of the flower cannot be extracted every year, how can it be possible to restore the soul stone to its original state?

Nian Nian was a little puzzled in his heart, in the Changqiu Palace, he obviously felt a trace of spiritual power fluctuation, so he would ask the queen mother for these pots of flowers every year. However, now it seems that my feelings have gone wrong.

Xiaoxi saw a pair of willow eyebrows frowning slightly, and her delicate pretty face felt unfathomable because of her contemplation, she didn't know what she was thinking about, so she could only stand aside honestly and try not to disturb as much as possible.

"Xiaoxi, is there any place in the palace where flowers are planted in a large area?"

Xiao Xi was stunned for a moment, and thought for a while, "Does my sister need to find a flower garden?" The flower garden in the north of the palace is a special place for cultivating flowers in the palace, and is responsible for sending flowers for viewing and placement to the palaces, but my sister wants to go there to have a look?"

Every year, this little girl is really clever, and she can see at a glance that she is worried about this matter. So every year, he picked four or five little palace maids, and under the leadership of Xiaoxi, the group went in the direction of Huayuan.

"By the way, Xiaoxi, who is this Concubine Lan of Suxin Palace, and why did she invite Princess Zhenyu to talk?" asked Nian Nian on the road.

Xiaoxi grinned, "Sister, don't you know? Concubine Lan is the biological mother of His Royal Highness King An, and the princess will marry His Royal Highness King An, so Concubine Lan will be the princess's mother in the future." ”

I was stunned every year, it turned out to be like this. "How is this Concubine Lan, and is she like the queen to look at the princess?" "Yesterday, Zhenyu had already suffered a secret loss in the Changqiu Palace, if this was the case, wouldn't she have to compete with Concubine Lan in secret today?"

Xiaoxi hurriedly stopped Nian Nian's words, looked left and right and saw that no one was able to secretly say: "Sister, you can't say this casually, if you don't get it right, you will be killed!" I am not a palace person in Suxin Palace, and I have no chance to meet such a noble master, but I heard the aunts in the palace say that this Lan Concubine Niangniang is one of the best beauties in the entire harem, and she is very favored on weekdays, so even His Royal Highness King An is also the emperor's favorite prince, and what is even more rare is that this lady's temper and character are very good, and she never scolds the palace maid innocently, and everyone is looking forward to being on an errand in Suxin Palace. ”

"What about King An?

"His Royal Highness King An, King An has just turned sixteen years old this year, and it is said that he is already very tall and handsome. It's just that the temperament is a little stubborn・・・・・"

Nian Nian just wanted to say something more, but suddenly heard someone coming from the other side of the corner in front of him, so he also gestured to make Xiaoxi pause.

"Aunt Ruolan, if you want me to say that you should find a chance to teach that little slut a lesson, you have been in the palace for so many years, and you are a celebrity in front of the queen, when have you ever suffered such a big grievance, we see the events of that day, and we are all unhappy for you. ”

"Hmph, you know what. She is just a palace maid, and she can be so arrogant not because Princess Baimo protects her. Now that the princess has not been married, she is still a guest, and the queen mother naturally can't ignore the princess's face. In a few days, the princess will marry into the door, and the mother will be her mother, and I will see how proud they are!"

Nian Nian sighed, thinking that now Zhenyu's status in this Night Palace seems to be noble, but in fact it is very embarrassing, it is better not to cause trouble for her, so he wants to quietly take Xiaoxi and them away, after all, Xiaoxi is just an ordinary girl, and she can't hear the conversation from such a distance.

Who knows that the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, and some people are unwilling to settle things.

"Yo, who am I, it turned out to be the princess's maid, but you are not good at serving your princess, but you take people to wander around my night palace, and you really regard this place as your own back garden. I saw a palace maid behind Ruolan who looked about the same age as Nian Nian hugged her chest and sneered.

Nian Nian was too lazy to take care of them, and only urged Xiaoxi to leave quickly.

"Wait," Ruolan's face was very gloomy, and Xiaoxi and the others stopped in her soft shout.

"Which palace are you girls from, how can you run around in the palace like this, what kind of system do you become! Ruolan hurried up from behind, and actually shouted directly at Xiaoxi after the New Year.

Nian Nian just wanted to refute out loud, but Ruolan smiled kindly at Nian Nian, and her eyes were full of warning, "Girl, although you are the princess's close maid, but this is a matter of my night palace, I will train the subordinates for the queen's mother, and I hope that outsiders will not interfere." She bit the word outsider very hard, making it clear that she was embarrassed every year.

Nian Nian frowned in disgust, although she didn't care what Ruolan said, but if there was no Xiaoxi and them to lead the way, she didn't know how to get to the flower garden in the north corner of the palace.

"Dead girl, don't come over to me soon!" I saw that the palace maid who spoke before suddenly rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward to grab Xiaoxi's ears and drag her behind her. Seeing this, the other palace maids behind Ruolan also unceremoniously went to pull the other little palace maids beside her. How old are they, and for a while a few little palace maids were scared and sobbed softly, and they fell to their knees on the ground.

Nian Nian's pretty face was cold, he stepped forward and slapped away the palm of the palace maid, pulled Xiaoxi behind him, and stood in front of the little palace maid and Ruolan and her party, "Aunt Ruolan, I am going to the flower garden in the north corner of the palace today, these little palace maids are left to me by the princess of my family to show me the way, not intentionally scurrying around in this palace, please Aunt Ruolan make it convenient, let's go?"

Ruolan smiled coldly, stepped forward, and said to Nian Nian's ear: "Also, since you want to repair the soul stone, you must restore the flowers in the soul stone, but I think you are talking big, three days later, no, it should be two days later, if you can't take out this soul stone, don't worry, I will beg the queen not to kill you." "Slut, when you fall into my hands, you will definitely be asked to repay the humiliation I suffered a hundred times!" Ruolan's eyes showed a touch of cruelty.

Hearing the unkindness in her words every year, her heart was cold, although she didn't understand why this Ruolan looked at her so unpleasantly, but since she clearly expressed hostility towards herself, she couldn't be blamed!

Nian Nian glanced at Xiao Xi, whose eyes were red, who was like a homeless kitten, looking at her pitifully. A wicked smile hung on the corner of Nian Nian's mouth. She stepped forward and gently helped Xiaoxi up, gently rubbed her ears, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Xiaoxi was frightened, "No, it doesn't hurt." Sister, ah no, girl, let's go quickly!" Xiaoxi's eyes were full of anxiety, Aunt Ruolan was the queen's close maid, and even many unfavored masters had to be polite when they saw her, and people like them didn't dare to offend her at all, at this time, they completely ignored Ruolan's appearance, thinking that she just entered the night palace with the princess, and didn't know how big her power was.

But Nian Nian smiled easily, only to see her eyes wide open and seriously said to Xiao Xi: "Xiao Xi, it's not a good child's work for you to tell lies like this, you see that your ears are so red, how can it not hurt? ”

As soon as Nian Nian's voice fell, I saw the high-spirited palace maids behind Ruolan cover their ears with their hands and scream sharply in the next second.

"Shut up!" Ruolan was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, she glared at several people angrily and scolded. However, there was a deep sense of pain on their faces, and they didn't listen to her at all.

The sharp wail was like a firecracker lit by firecrackers, and it exploded in the depths of the palace, and after a short time, a team of guards and eunuchs and maids from various palaces rushed to hear the sound. At this time, those palace maids were already rolling on the ground in pain.

Xiaoxi and the other little palace maids were stunned in place, and Ruolan was also anxious by this face, and only stood aside with a smile and a groan. The tassels falling in front of the aqua blue palace dress flutter in the wind, and the beautiful girl stands calmly with a smile, and her delicate eyebrows are full of charm that can overlook all living beings with gestures, which makes people can't help but look up.

"Does Xiaoxi still hurt now?" asked Nian Nian softly, his voice seemed to be able to divide gold and jade, and people couldn't even think of telling a lie when they heard it.

"No, it doesn't hurt. The same answer, this time, Xiaoxi really didn't hurt, her heart was full of awe for Nian Nian.

Nian Nian raised his jade hand, gently stroked his earlobe, and brushed a lock of hair behind his ear. A pair of wonderful eyes looked at the embarrassed crowd casually.

The palace maids lying on the ground gradually stopped their howls of pain, and they sat up from the ground in embarrassment, and when they put their hands down, everyone saw a circle of blood-colored red marks around their ears, which looked hideous and dazzling on the snow-white skin.

Ruolan glared at Nian Nian viciously, "What a girl who pretends to be a ghost! Actually openly committed murder in the palace, I will show the queen mother this matter, I will see how the princess protects you this time!"

Nian Nian looked innocent, and looked at Ruolan with frightened eyes: "Aunt Ruolan, this is not about the slave and maid, the slave and maid are just standing on the side, seeing Xiaoxi's face is unbearable, she can't help but comfort her, but the slave and maid only tell Xiaoxi that evil people have their own evil retribution, since they have done evil things, God will definitely punish her, so don't be afraid." The slave and maid didn't do anything from beginning to end, so many people here have seen it, how could Aunt Ruolan take such a big responsibility on the slave and maid?"

Ruolan trembled angrily, and said two good words in a row, she looked around, only to see more and more people, and understood that she couldn't do anything about Nian Nian today, and she really didn't see any changes in Nian Nian, so she could only stare at Nian Nian viciously, and left with a group of palace maids in embarrassment.

"Sister?" Xiao Xi tugged at Nian Nian's sleeve, "Sister beat them away, right?" Several other little palace maids also surrounded Nian Nian with a look of adoration.

Sticking out her tongue every year, she heard that more and more people were coming here from all directions, and she knew in her heart that she had to get out of here quickly, her spiritual power could support her in taking things in the air as early as the first time she soaked in spiritual spring water, but at the same time twisting the ears of several people, it was her first time trying, Rao is her spiritual power is now skyrocketing, but it is a little unbearable not to use it for a long time, plus if this matter is found to be her secretly moving hands and feet, it will definitely be regarded as a monster.

"Hehe, how can I have that kind of ability, it is all a punishment from heaven, so you must not do evil in the future, otherwise you will also be twisted your ears!" Nian Nian scratched Xiaoxi's nose, and then urged her to leave quickly.

There will be large and small conflicts in the palace every day, as long as there is no trouble, things will generally be settled, and then the story will be quietly circulated in various versions in the palace, and the palace people will also be happy to promote these gossip. So after a few people left, although everyone dispersed, the blatant offending of Aunt Ruolan today has caused an uproar in the palace.

Although Nian Nian kept claiming that God had punished those palace maids, what the palace people saw in their eyes was that Nian Nian led a group of little palace maids to beat her subordinates in front of Aunt Ruolan beside the queen, and everyone speculated about the identity of the mysterious palace maid next to Princess Baimo.

Although no one dared to say it, the expressions on everyone's eyebrows when they talked about it all hinted at how much they appreciated Nian Nian's bold moves, and it also showed how this Ruolan was bullying and domineering in the harem.
