"The Empress has woken up!" Just as Qin Nuo sat up from the bed, before she could even carefully think about what happened last night, she heard Ming Liu's clear voice. Subsequently, a group of girls walked in methodically with wooden basins, napkins, and other things that were used for washing up.
Ming Liu went forward and used a large piece of kernels to cover the front of Qin Nuo's clothes. The little girl knelt to the side and held the basin up high. Qin Nuo watched the battle from the side. Although she was not used to it, she still used to it. She reached her hand into the bowl and washed it slowly. From the corner of her eyes, her gaze swept towards Zhuo Tao who was standing at the side.
"Zhuo Tao, when we get back to the Qinxin, you can bring a few little girls and collect all my clothes and things for Ming Liu to check on and get Ming Liu to return to me." Without waiting for Zhuo Tao's reply, Qin Nuo turned around slightly and looked at Bi Tao. Did you get my bag back? "
Without even looking, Qin Nuo could guess that Zhuo Tao's complexion was definitely not good right now. The wounds on her face had not completely healed. Although they were not swollen, some parts of her face were blue and purple, while others were white and red. It must have been a beautiful sight to behold.
However, this was only the beginning! She had forgotten to ask Ling Yexuan, because she was given a few days to send him off. The sooner the better? Take your time!
When he thought about Ling Yexuan, it was only then that Qin Nuo remembered that when she woke up, Ling Yexuan was no longer there.
She knew that the princes of the Beiden would come to court early in their adult life, so she did not question them anymore.
"Is His Highness awake?" Who's serving there? " Qin Nuo asked.
"Reporting to the Empress, Qingfeng and Qing Yu are on their way." Ming Liu replied.
"Nonsense!" How can we send two little girls to serve your highness?! " Qin Nuo shouted softly. Zhuo Tao, you go over and take a look. If Prince Fifteen wakes up, coax him so that he can come over for a meal with me. "
Zhuo Tao's face looked extremely ugly. After the Prince had woken up, he had instructed her to call Ming Liu and the peaches over, and to send two people to serve the fifteenth prince. She thought that even though Fifteenth Prince was noble, he was only a child, so she let Qingfeng and Qing Yu go over and take a look. She didn't think that this Empress would deliberately go against her, as if he wanted to slap her in the face.
One had to know that even though she was just a little girl, no one in this mansion dared to offend her!
"Humph!" I'm so pissed off! Early in the morning. "A total of four girls. Other people only need to move their mouths, yet you still want me to run errands, and you still want me to run twice!" On the way to Qinxin, Zhuo Tao said as she gritted her teeth while walking.
"Big Sister Zhuo Tao, you should be more gentle. No matter what, that is the Empress! " The little girl following behind Zhuo Tao was Qing Shuang. She was only twelve years old this year. Although she was young, she was very clever and her appearance was not that outstanding. Although she had been bullied by Zhuo Tao before, she had never fought fiercely against him. Therefore, although she was truly afraid of Zhuo Tao, on the surface, her relationship with him was not bad.
"So what if you're Empress?" Zhuo Tao laughed coldly. If it wasn't for the fact that the empress dowager and empress liked her, as the Empress, how could she be the one to become the Wei Guo Mansion? "Although her father is the Prime Minister, he is still just a poor official who has just taken the Imperial examinations. How can he compare to the Wang family?!"
As Zhuo Tao spoke, she himself was also startled for a moment. The Third Prince was supposed to be the direct son of the Emperor. No matter what, he had to pick a woman from the Wang clan that was directly related to the marquis' family in order to be worthy of the Emperor. Furthermore, it would be beneficial for the Third Prince's fight for the position of Crown Prince. Could it be that the empress had given up her life to let the third prince be the crown prince?
"The words that I've said to you today are not to be spread out. Otherwise, be careful of your little life!" Zhuo Tao said again.
"Sister Zhuo Tao, don't worry, I won't tell anyone!" Qing Shuang was so scared that her voice started to tremble.
"Too late!" A cold voice came from behind him.
Zhuo Tao and Qing Shuang hurriedly turned around and knelt on the ground.
"Your Highness!"
Qing Shuang's small face immediately became pale white, why is the prince back so early?!
"Zhuo Tao, how dare you!" Before Ling Yexuan could say anything, the eighth brother beside him bellowed out. You actually dare to talk about the Empress behind her back, and even dare to talk about the personal matters of your highness, are you tired of living? "
Don't just look at how the eighth brother was always laughing, in front of his servants, he was acting arrogantly.
"This servant dares not." Zhuo Tao said hurriedly, her voice was gentle and calm, her expression extremely respectful, but in her heart, she was still a bit apprehensive.
How could she be so unlucky today? She had been ordered around by that imperial concubine. She had complained to that little girl, but the prince and the eighth prince had caught her complaints. One had to know that she usually pretended to be very generous and well-mannered in front of the prince! Even if she chased this one away, it wouldn't be her fault.
However, the prince had always been biased towards her, so the matter today wasn't a big deal. He shouldn't punish her!
"Yes!" Empress instructed Servants to serve the fifteenth prince. " Qing Shuang quickly replied.
"Hurry up and go!" "Yes!" the eighth brother shouted. If Prince Fifteen wakes up and does not see anyone, let me see how you will report to the Empress! "
"Yes!" "Yes," Qing Shuang hurriedly replied, she glanced at Zhuo Tao, then stood up and retreated a few steps, running towards Qinxin.
Zhuo Tao was still kneeling on the ground, and her hands were slightly sweating. It was not only fear, but also grievance. The eighth prince usually relied on the fact that he and the prince were blood brothers and liked to go to the Prince Rui's mansion when he had nothing to do. He had been very diligent recently and came every two or three days. Right now, things were even better. He was actually meddling in the affairs of the Prince Rui's estate, and it was all thanks to the prince's indulgence!
"Go!" Ling Yexuan, whose face had been cold the entire time had not spoken up yet, finally spoke. Go to the Qinxin as well. After Prince Fifteen wakes up, you can clean up the entire Qinxin by yourself, both inside and outside, until Empress is satisfied. "
Zhuo Tao agreed softly. After Ling Yexuan and Yue Shan left, she stood up and walked towards Qinxin. Even though he was holding back her anger in her heart, he did not dare to reveal it. He was afraid that Ling Yexuan would appear again at some point in time, and seeing the discontent and awkwardness in her heart.
Upon reaching Qinxin, Zhuo Tao entered the house. Seeing that the fifteenth prince had already woken up, other than Qing Shuang, there was also a little girl who was currently with Qing Shuang, attending to the fifteenth prince changing.
"Who are you?" Zhuo Tao asked bluntly. Judging from her attire, she should have been brought out of the palace.
"Reporting to elder sister, my name is Qing Luo, I'm the little girl from Empress's side." Qing Luo replied, but his hand did not stop moving.
When Ming Liu and Peaches were about to leave, they had warned Qing Luo that if no one came over, she would have to pay attention to the movements of the fifteenth prince. Although Yu Qiang was young, she could still dress herself. She wouldn't cry when she woke up, so Qing Luo went over to the house.
When Qing Shuang came in, Old Fifteen had just woken up and was asking Qing Luo a question. Qing Luo answered all this as she helped Fifteenth Prince up to change his clothes. Seeing that, Qing Shuang also rushed forward. Actually, Qing Shuang didn't do anything to help her master change her clothes. Fortunately, Qing Luo still knew a little more, so Qing Shuang and the others talked to each other, and helped.
The two of them were rather friendly, thus when Zhuo Tao suddenly asked her about it, she did not mind and answered her questions smoothly, so she did not pay any attention to him.
Zhuo Tao's heart was filled with all kinds of unhappiness, now that she saw this newbie, she did not even put her in her eyes, and it made him even more angry. She could not help but go forward and heavily hit Qing Luo's hand with a "Pa" sound.
Although Qing Shuang was used to seeing Zhuo Tao bullying the lass behind the King's back, she still trembled in fear and immediately let go.
Qing Luo was even more shocked by the punch. She retreated two steps and stared blankly at Zhuo Tao.
Zhuo Tao looked at Qing Luo. Even though the little girl was young, she was still restless with just a glance. Although her eyes weren't big, they were still misty. Now that she had such an aggrieved expression on her face, she looked just like a little fox. Zhuo Tao raised his hand and waved it towards Qing Luo. Qing Luo dodged to the side, but saw that Zhuo Tao's hand was not actually attacking her, but instead revealing a sinister smile, she extended his hand and grabbed her hand.
"This little hand is not very delicate!" You work a lot at home, don't you? This little arm is very fair and attractive! " The last few words, Zhuo Tao said while gnashing her teeth. At the same time, her hand had already grabbed Qing Luo's arm and twisted it fiercely.
"AHH!" Qing Luo could not resist and cried out softly as she looked at Zhuo Tao with teary eyes.
Old Fifteen was still in a daze.
He had only just opened his eyes, and did not see third Sister-in-Law, but only saw the little girl called "Qing Luo". He was just about to ask where third Sister-in-Law had gone, but didn't expect to be helped to sit up by the little girl. Before he could understand what was going on, another one came. The two girls dressed him up without giving him any explanation. They didn't pay attention to him as they continued to talk. He wanted to say several times that he still needed to sleep, but when he saw the two girls flustered and fretful, he couldn't help but be naughty. He wanted to see what kind of clothes they would wear for him.
However, all of a sudden, a malicious looking man suddenly entered the room. Not only did he hit Qing Luo, he even twisted Qing Luo's neck. He was a dignified fifteenth prince, yet he dared to use violence in front of him. This was something he could tolerate, but not something he could tolerate! Without even thinking, Old Fifteen went forward and kicked Zhuo Tao's leg.
"Master is here, it's not your turn to be a servant. You can do whatever you want!"
