Doctor Jiang prepared the ointment, and I repeatedly confirmed with him that it wouldn't leave any marks before letting him go. After Doctor Jiang left, I hurried to the room, grabbed the already wrinkled quilt on the floor, and prepared to leave.
Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao were still sitting in the yard. Seeing this, they hurriedly asked me, "My dear, where are you going?"
"I'm going to fight the Queen!" I suddenly laughed when I thought about the last time Xiao Cui wanted to use a broom to help me fight.
"You can't do that!" Xiao Tao pulled me aside, "After all, the Queen is still the Queen. My dear, although you are favored now, you are still a beauty after all..."
I gave her a sly smile: "A beauty is not as good as the queen, but what if she is the emperor?"
They looked confused, and I was about to leave in a hurry: "You two just stay here and run away if anything happens. Got it?"
Xiao Tao came to hold me back again: "When I went to ask for Doctor Jiang, I seemed to see the Queen and Sister A Yuan go to the Queen Mother... My lady, you'd better not disturb the Queen Mother..."
"Then Ajian is alone now?" I rolled my eyes and said, "That's even better!"
I carried the already wrinkled lake blue maple-patterned quilt and went to Fenghua Palace. When I reached the door, I deliberately shouted, "Where is the Queen? Where is the Queen?" and pretended to rush in. Sure enough, Ajian ran out and blocked my way.
I leaned against her and deliberately loosened my grip, causing the quilt to fall to the ground. I stared at the quilt on the ground for a while, and she looked at me and then at the quilt in a strange way.
The next second I slapped him. This Ah Jian usually bullies the palace maids, forcing them to kneel, pouring water on them, and beating them with a cane. He is not only doing evil things. This time, I, Mu Chenshuang, am not here just to avenge Xiao Cui.
"You..." She had absolutely no manners at all. She glared at me fiercely, her index finger pointed directly at the tip of my nose. I slapped her hand down and slapped her again.
The other maids from Fenghua Palace gathered around after hearing the noise. I looked at Ah Jian in front of me coldly and said, "In terms of status, you should call me 'Mu Meiren'."
She gritted her teeth and didn't even bother to call out, "Why are you hitting me? Just because I hit your maid? She's committing treason and trying to stop the Empress, so I can hit her!"
She became more and more excited as she spoke: "It's Lady Mu who hit someone for no reason. I'm afraid if the emperor hears about it tomorrow, she'll be punished!"
"Heh," I sneered at her, "I, Mu Chenshuang, naturally wouldn't and wouldn't bother to bully servants by relying on my status as a master."
She was choked by my words and immediately shouted around, "Did you all see that? Lady Mu punished me for no reason! She slapped me!"
I slapped her across the face again. "No more three times, and I won't hit you again today. I hope you'll remember that those who try to bully others will suffer a terrible fate."
I picked up the quilt on the ground, dusted it off, and looked around: "If she dares to bully you again in the future, come to Chenxiang Pavilion to find me, Mu Chenshuang."
"Mu Chenshuang, wait, wait for the Queen to come back..." I turned around and went back with the quilt in my arms, not even wanting to hear the end of her words. I was waiting for the Queen to come and see me.
I sat on a bench in the back garden for a while, hugging my blanket, mainly to rub my hands. Slapping someone, besides looking arrogant, is really like hurting the enemy a thousand times while hurting yourself eight hundred times. My hands are even red.
"Eh? Isn't this Lady Mu?" Song Yu walked down the gravel path, hands behind his back. "Is she holding a blanket, waiting for my brother to pass by?"
I knew he was a casual person, so I didn't pretend and just rolled my eyes at him: "Soaking in the sun? Can't you tell?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, Miss Mu still has the leisure to bask in the sun?" He shook his head thoughtfully.
"What? The sun is so nice, wouldn't it be a waste if we don't go out and bask in the sun?" I retorted.
"Alas, since you still don't know anything, I'll kindly remind you." He pretended to sigh seriously, "I just came back from my mother's place. The Empress has already described you as a beauty who brings disaster to the country and the people. She almost said you were the reincarnation of Baosi, Daji, and Feiyan Yuhuan..."
"Oh, she wouldn't want to say that I'm as beautiful as Baosi and Daji!" I curled my lips in disdain. Instead of complaining everywhere, I might as well take good care of my maid.
"Mu Meiren is truly a heroine. She is not afraid even when facing disaster!" Seeing my reaction, he clapped his hands in cooperation.
I smiled and bowed to him. "I don't deserve it. Thank you so much for your kind reminder, Your Highness. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving now."
As soon as we got back to the Chenxiang Pavilion, Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao looked at me with shining eyes, as if they were looking at Guanyin Bodhisattva. I shuddered: "What are you two doing?"
"My lady, you are the modern Mulan, Mu Guiying, and Fan Lihua!" Xiaotao looked at me with admiration.
What the hell? So today I'm both a beautiful woman who brings disaster to the country and a heroine who's no less heroic than any man?
"It's all spread just now! It says that you taught Ajian a lesson! You got revenge for us!" Xiao Tao was filled with indignation.
This Ah Jian is truly a rat that everyone wants to kill. No one is willing to hide this kind of news from her. To be a villain to this extent is the pinnacle...
"I know that the master is doing this for the servant... but if it disturbs the Emperor and the Empress Dowager..." Xiao Cui finally spoke worriedly.
"Don't worry, Xiao Cui, I have my own plans." I stepped forward and patted her shoulder: "Just have a good rest! I said I would protect you and make sure you live a good life!"
"Xiao Tao, who told you this?" I turned to look at Xiao Tao, whose eyes were still shining. "You are quite the insider!"
"There are so many! Everyone is spreading rumors as they fetch water to wash and sweep! Just now, someone even sneaked into the Chenxiang Pavilion to see who the young lady is!" Xiao Tao said proudly, "What a pity the young lady is not here! I always say that the young lady is so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of their waters, geese drop to the ground, and the moon and flowers blush to shame. She is not someone you would easily meet with a mortal!"
