Chapter 240： Bullying

Chang Xiu frowned slightly.

She knew that this Chen Tiantian did not get along with the young man named Ying Bao. She also knew that the young man from the Xiao family had a quarrel with the young man because of her. She did not know what the little girl wanted to do when she came to her.

“Sister Chang, why don’t you eat it?” Chen Tiantian picked up a piece of lychee cake and handed it over.

Chang Xiu quickly took a step back and said, "Thank you, Sister Chen. I'm full now. I'll eat later."

Chen Tiantian had no choice but to put down the lychee cake, sighed slightly, and hesitated: "Sister Chang, actually Yingbao and I are from the same hometown, and we are also senior sisters..."

Chang Xiu looked at her silently: "I heard someone said it."

“Sigh, Sister Chang, you only know one thing but not the other.” Chen Tiantian said, “I don’t know where I offended her and made her unhappy, so she often embarrasses me in front of outsiders.”

Chang Xiu continued to remain silent.

Although she was only fifteen years old, she had lived in the palace for three years. Although she had been working as a handyman, she had heard and seen a lot of things.

The young man is only six years old, and he is not a vicious and evil person. It is probably not easy for her to hate and reject people.

Chen Tiantian continued: "I came to the Qing Palace to serve the king on the orders of the queen, but Yingbao has not allowed me to enter the inner palace. She also said that the ladies in the palace have a sinister aura and will hinder the health of the king. ”

Several palace maids' faces suddenly turned ugly.

"She really said that?" a palace maid said angrily: "You are so vicious at a young age, and you actually say that we are shady people."

Chen nodded sweetly, "When she said this, many people knew that the sisters who live with me were very sad."

Zhang Yu'e said angrily: "That Ying Bao is really vicious. He treats us like this and is not afraid of retribution."

As he spoke, he glared at Chang Xiu fiercely: "Why are you giving us her leftover food?"

Chang Xiu panicked and quickly defended: "The young man is not that kind of person. She doesn't let the ladies of the palace enter the inner palace because she is afraid of offending the king, because the king has been ill for a long time and has a lot of yin around him..."

Zhang Yu'e interrupted her: "After all, we have influenced the king? What benefits has she given you? Do you want to speak for an outsider?"

A palace maid next to her also said: "That's right, we are here to serve the king. Just based on her words, will we still be able to succeed in the future?"

Chang Xiu was speechless.

Chen Tiantian said quickly: "Sisters, please don't blame Sister Chang. Sister Chang also has good intentions and is not protecting the Yingbao."

“Humph! She wants to climb a high tree, but she just doesn’t know if others will take notice of her!”

Zhang Yu'e rolled her eyes at Chang Xiu and said with a strange tone: "Don't be kicked to Yeting as a dark thing by then!"

Chang Xiu lowered his head and said nothing. He collected the food that no one wanted to eat and carried it to the dining hall.

As I was walking, I saw Chen Tiantian following me.

"Sister Chang, let me help you get it." She reached out to pick up the lunch box, but Chang Xiu avoided her.

Chen Tiantian looked aggrieved and said: "Sister Chang is angry with me? I, I didn't expect them to turn their anger on you. I really didn't mean it..."

Chang Xiu didn't look at her, but said coldly: "Miss Chen, please go back. I'm just a handyman. I'm a humble person, so I can't help you with anything."

This little girl is not simple. She can instigate everyone to share the same hatred with just a few words. Given time, her future is limitless.

I can't offend her, let alone get close to her, lest I be taken advantage of by her, and I don't know how I died in the end.

Chen Tiantian stopped and looked resentfully at Chang Xiu who was walking faster and faster. She didn't turn around until she couldn't see him and walked back sadly.

The afternoon sun shone on her body, making her sweat.

Chen Tiantian walked back to where she lived, and saw several palace maids lying on the bunk, leisurely shaking their cattail fans to enjoy the cool air.

He didn't care when he saw her coming in, and just chatted with the sisters: "Let's go to the lake to pick some lotus pods later. Qiuyue, aren't you familiar with the senior executive? Go and order some lychees from him." The one named Qiuyue said angrily. : "You have to go by yourself. I don't want to eat lychees. They are so sweet and not as delicious as peaches. We can't even finish the peaches on the peach tree at our door. Why should we eat lychees?"

“That’s right, that senior executive is the most difficult to deal with. It’s as if the orchard belongs to his family. Every time we sisters pass by, he comments on us. It’s really disgusting.” One person said.

“No, I’ve encountered it once too.”

A few people were chatting and talking about the king.

“That young doctor is really amazing. His medical skills are better than those of the imperial doctor at a young age.”

“Yes, if there was a sister like this in my family, the ancestral graves would be filled with smoke.”

One of the people suddenly laughed and said: "As soon as she comes, it will be easy for us. We don't have to be on duty at night, and we will let the internal servants do it."

"But no, in the past two days, the circles under the eyes of the waiters have become black, and they all feel as if they have been hit by frost. They can't walk without a stagger."

A few people giggled for a while, and suddenly heard Chen Tiantian whisper: "But she said that we have Yin Qi and can't get close to the King Dai."

A palace maid glanced at her, waved her cattail leaf fan and said, "That's right. In ancient times, the male dominated the yang and the female dominated the yin. Yin and yang must be conserved. Moreover, the young man only said that the king should not be close to him when he was sick, but he did not say that he could not be close to him from now on. Are you worried? What?"

 Chen Tiantian was assigned to serve the king personally as soon as she arrived. To be honest, the dozen or so maids in the palace felt very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Young Master Ying Bao drove her out and refused to allow her to come near, which made the maids breathe a sigh of relief.

Even though they themselves were ordered not to go near the inner palace, the maids all made a tacit agreement to reject Chen Tiantian.

After all, the young man’s business will not threaten their survival status, but Chen Tiantian will.

Not only will they do it, but they may also climb over them, which is something that all the palace ladies in the inner palace cannot tolerate.

It wouldn't matter if Chen Tiantian was a noble girl from some noble family. After all, she was born in a noble family and others like her couldn't compare to her. However, she was just a country girl with nothing, so why did she steal their position right away?

Another maid sneered coldly: "She is worried that she cannot enter the inner palace to flatter the king. She is very thoughtful at such a young age!"

Several palace maids covered their mouths with fans and laughed.

Chen Tiantian was laughed at by them all and couldn't stay any longer, so she turned around and ran out of the house.

She came to the pavilion by the lake and couldn't help crying.

The voice in her head kept urging her to hurry up and get to the King of Dai, please him, and make him have a good impression of her.

But she didn’t want to go at all, and she wasn’t sure that he would like her.

 And if you don’t follow the voice in your head, you may not live to be twenty-one.

What should I do?

Chen Tiantian became more and more anxious as she thought about it. She sat in the pavilion and hugged her knees and cried.

Why does that Yingbao keep targeting me? I have never offended her.

Even if the mother makes a mistake once, she cannot blame herself.

"What’s wrong with you?"

A young man’s voice sounded next to him.

Chen Tiantian raised her head and saw Xiao Chengjun, the youngest son of the Xiao family, standing next to him, looking over with concern on his face.

"I..." Chen Tiantian didn't know what to say and quickly covered her face with her sleeves.

“Did Ying Bao bully you again?” Xiao Chengjun asked, “Don’t be afraid, just tell me and I will vent your anger for you.”
