Chapter 111: Killing the Chicken to Frighten the Monkey

On the way back to Xuanshi Hall from Hongwenguan, you will pass by the Shangshi Inner Courtyard.

When passing by, Bei Jingchu heard a burst of crying.

"stop."

The sedan stopped, and Bei Jingchu asked the palace maid beside her: "Did you hear anyone crying?"

The palace maid shook her head.

The sound was very soft, a suppressed sob, and it was easy to ignore it if you didn't listen carefully.

Maybe she is young and has good hearing, so she can hear it.

Bei Jingchu got out of the sedan and found the direction where the crying came from.

It’s in the inner courtyard of Shangshi.

It's time to prepare lunch, so there should be no one in the inner courtyard.

Bei Jingchu pushed the door open and saw a little palace maid who looked about four years old. She was sweeping the floor with a broom that was twice as long as her.

Her eyes were red with tears, but she didn't dare cry out loud and just sobbed suppressedly.

As cute as a bullied little white rabbit.

Bei Jingchu suddenly felt the desire to protect her.

Beautiful sister, here you are!

When Bei Jingchu opened the door and walked in, she looked at the door as if frightened.

"Who are you? Are you new here?"

The palace maids were all following behind Bei Jingchu, and looking out from inside, all they could see was a little baby.

Bei Jingchu looked down at her clothes and pulled her sleeves.

Start to doubt life.

Does she...really not look like a princess?

Is it really like what Aye said, like a wild monkey running down from some unknown mountain?

Bei Jingchu felt wronged.

The little palace maid was sold into the palace during this selection. She didn't know the palace rules. No matter how young she was, it was impossible for a child of only one or two years old to be chosen.

The dress Bei Jingchu was wearing was made of lake green floral-patterned printed silk.

It is something that cannot be found on the street.

It is a tribute from the Western Regions.

And in the palace, lake green is a color that only princesses can wear.

But the young maid had just entered the palace and had never seen or heard anything like it, so she didn't know the value of it.

I thought it was a new, younger palace maid.

Bei Jingchu turned around and whispered to the palace maids, "Wait outside."

Then she ran in and came to the little maid: "What's wrong with you?"

The maid did not answer: "Are you new here? It's time for lunch now."

"You should go quickly. If you go too late, they will be busy preparing lunch for the masters, and you will have to go hungry."

"Then why don't you go?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the little maid could no longer hold back her excitement.

He squatted down and cried loudly: "Wuwuwuwu, my aunt punished me by not allowing me to eat, wuwuwuwu."

"But I'm so hungry. Mother said I could have a full meal after entering the palace, but why didn't she let me eat my first meal after entering the palace? Wuwuwu."

She cried so unexpectedly that Bei Jingchu was completely stunned.

Alas, no.

Isn't she here to comfort people?

Can a single sentence have such destructive power?

She had no choice but to take out a piece of crystal dragon phoenix cake from her arms that she had taken from Aye's plate that morning.

"You can eat this."

Bei Jingchu unwrapped the wax paper that wrapped the pastries.

After a whole morning of tossing and turning, the exquisite and beautiful snacks were crushed to pieces in Bei Jingchu's arms.

The sales appearance is very bad.

Even a little disgusting.

The maid looked at her with a suspicious expression.

“It’s really delicious.”

"If you don't eat it, it will be gone."

The hungry little palace maid reached out, grabbed a little and put it in her mouth.

Then his eyes lit up.

“It’s delicious!”

“I’ve never eaten anything so delicious!”

"My mother was right. The palace is great."

Bei Jingchu handed her the oil paper.

"Why don't they let you eat?"

"Today, when my aunt was speaking, I couldn't hold back my itchy nose and sneezed."

"I really didn't mean to do that, but my aunt said that my attitude was not right and that this was not allowed in the palace."

"I was punished by being made to sweep the floor and not allowed to eat."

"My aunt said that since it was my first offense, it would only be a light punishment."

Too naive kid.

No matter how strict the palace rules are, they are not as strict as this.

Except for important occasions such as before the parade and ceremonies when no accidents are allowed, humanity should be respected at other times.

This aunt is obviously killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, and this little palace maid is being used as a chicken to establish her authority.

In the palace fighting drama, you can't survive the opening song.

But he is still a child, so it is normal that his IQ is not high.

After all, not every baby is as smart as her!

"What is your name?"

"My name is Hua Sanya."

A very down-to-earth name.

After asking the name, Bei Jingchu suddenly felt something in her stomach.

She only had time to say goodbye before she quickly escaped.

Toilet, toilet, toilet, this princess can’t hold it anymore!

The emperor sat at the table and waited for a long time before the young man finally arrived.

"What happened today? Why did you come back so late?"

"I went to take a shit."

The emperor frowned and said, "How can a princess of the royal family speak such dirty words? It is disrespectful to the civilized world."

"You should use more elegant words."

Bei Jingchu pondered for a while, then said hesitantly: "Then... my butt is jutted?"

Emperor: ...Don't say more, it's more vivid.

You can make up words.

After Bei Jingchu left, everyone in the inner courtyard of Shangshi came back, but San Ya had not finished sweeping the yard yet.

How could a four-year-old girl clean up such a large courtyard so quickly?

Even after cleaning it up, Aunt Jiaoyin will still find the mistakes.

"Aunt, your request is too difficult. I can't do it."

"If you can't do such a small thing, then when the master asks you to do something in the future, will you also say you can't do it?"

"You are a palace maid, not an ancestor!"

"If you want to be an ancestor, you should get yourself killed early so that you can be reborn into a good family in your next life."

"Once you enter the palace, you are destined to be slaves."

"You will do whatever you are told to do, and you will die if you are told to die."

"Don't say you can't do it."

"You haven't finished sweeping yet and you still dare to talk back. You don't need to eat dinner. Just go hungry for a day."

"Remember to sweep the yard."

San Ya felt more embarrassed to be scolded in front of everyone than to be hungry and tired.

It's like digging a hole and burying yourself in it.

She wanted to cry but didn't dare to, and looked very helpless.

Emotions are contagious.

The other palace maids were infected by her emotional breakdown and all looked afraid.

The aunt nodded happily, "Very good, the effect has been achieved."

Although there are other methods, this is the simplest and most obvious.

All she needs to do is destroy a little girl's self-esteem to quickly achieve her desired goal.
