There was a lively and lively atmosphere inside when someone suddenly pushed the door open and a gust of cold wind swept in, causing the people near the door to shiver instantly.
"Which palace maid are you from? You are so dirty. Get out of here quickly! I am freezing to death!" A palace maid who looked like a manager was drunk. When the cold wind blew, he immediately spoke in displeasure.
The little palace maid shrank her neck in fear, and the steward who was in charge of her also saw her.
Suddenly, she was unhappy and said, "Chun Ying, you want to die? Didn't I tell you to stay in the plum garden?"
"Why are you here?"
When the housekeeper nanny spoke, the little palace maid named Chunying trembled with fear again.
"What a poor little thing, you are pretty. Why don't you follow me? I will definitely love you well." The palace servant who was in charge before walked up to Chunying with a pot of wine in his hand.
Chunying's eyes were filled with tears and she kept shaking her head.
"No, I don't want to." Chunying was very afraid of the manager. It seemed that he had done this kind of thing many times.
"Why? Are you disgusted by the fact that I'm a eunuch?"
"What if I dislike you!" Qing Yuan couldn't stand it anymore and walked straight into the hall.
The manager looked at Qing Yuan with dissatisfaction, but when he saw her clothes and appearance, his eyes suddenly lit up and he walked up to Qing Yuan with wine in his hand.
"Oh, which palace does she serve in? How come I have never seen such a beautiful girl before? It shouldn't be the case." This sentence should not mean that such a beautiful palace maid should have been a concubine long ago.
I think he must have come from outside, and he might be here to support this little palace maid.
"Don't you see where this place is? You must be a maidservant of some family!"
"Come, drink one for me and I'll forgive you, how about that?" As he said that, the steward put the spout of the kettle into Qingyuan's mouth.
Qing Yuan waved his palm away, and the wine jug fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"What a hot girl! I like her. Come on, teach her who's the boss in the palace and what the rules are."
Qing Yuan sneered and kicked all the palace maids who approached her to the ground one by one.
The steward was sobered up and screamed, "Quick, quick, there's an assassin! Go get the guards and catch him!"
"What a huge pot is falling down!" Qing Yuan sneered and stepped forward to kick him to the ground.
The manager screamed and struggled to get up and run away, but was kicked to the ground by Qing Yuan.
"Chunying, what are you going to do? If you associate with the assassin, your entire clan will be exterminated!" The nanny who was in charge of Chunying also screamed.
The palace maids present were so frightened that they dared not move.
Although they were numerous, it was obvious that the beautiful maid only wanted to cause trouble for the two managers, and they did not want to get into trouble.
"What happened?" Soon a team of guards rushed over after hearing the news. When they saw Qiu Yinong standing outside, they were stunned at first.
Then they saw the princess's attire under her cloak and they all knelt down at once.
Qiu Yinong looked at the palace maid who went to call the guards and said nothing.
"It's not a big deal. My maid just stood up for a little palace maid." As he said this, he took out his token.
The captain of the guards took one look and quickly responded respectfully, "Yes, since the princess is handling the matter, we will take our leave first."
With that, the team of guards left.
The little palace maid was so scared that she collapsed on the ground. Qiu Yinong smelled a foul odor, looked at the little palace maid and sighed.
Why do you want to be someone's lackey when you are so timid?
"It's cold, let's go back and change our clothes first." After saying that, Qiu Yinong stepped into the hall.
Qing Yuan had already taught the two managers a lesson. The female manager was still shouting, but when she saw Qiu Yinong coming in, her eyes widened instantly.
Apparently, she had seen Qiu Yinong before. She trembled and shouted in panic, "Princess Changping, please save me! This assassin is about to beat me to death."
"How come I didn't know that my personal maid was an assassin? Or do you think I'm an assassin too?"
Qiu Yinong spoke calmly, and the two managers stopped wailing instantly.
The other palace maids also knelt down and saluted. Qiu Yinong asked the others to stand up and asked Qing Yuan to loosen her feet.
"Today, the Emperor clearly ordered that all palace servants, except for those in special positions, should rest and enjoy themselves. Why did you let her guard the plum garden?"
"Slave, slave..." The housekeeper never thought that Princess Changping would come to stand up for Chunying.
No wonder her eyes were twitching today. She thought she was going to get rich.
Who knew it would be such a disaster.
"Just because she has never been filial to you, you treat her like this?"
"Slave, I didn't do it, really didn't!" The housekeeper kept waving her hands and begging for mercy.
Qing Yuan sneered: "So what you mean is that my master is wrongly accusing you?"
"I dare not, I dare not!"
"Princess Changping, although the steward did something wrong by letting this little palace maid guard the plum garden in such cold weather, you shouldn't be so aggressive, right?"
A female voice sounded, followed by a girl in elegant clothes walking in with two maids.
Qiu Yinong didn't turn around to look at her, but Qing Yuan glared at the person who came in with dissatisfaction.
She looked good, with fair skin, and her small almond eyes were now full of dissatisfaction.
"Who are you?" Qing Yuan looked at the other person and asked.
The girl didn't answer, but the maid beside her spoke up: "Our young lady is the legitimate daughter of Duke Feng's family, Feng Wanyi."
Qing Yuan looked at the maid's condescending attitude, shrugged, and raised an eyebrow, "So? Miss Wei, are you going to plead for mercy on behalf of these two lawless stewards?"
"Why do you have to be so aggressive, young lady?" Feng Wanyi spoke softly.
Qing Yuan sneered, "How aggressive! She dared to call me an assassin. Miss Wei, have you ever considered that this statement might harm the entire Qiu family?"
Feng Wanyi didn't expect Qingyuan to be so eloquent.
"You followed me all the way here, what do you want to do?" Qiu Yinong turned and looked at Feng Wanyi.
Feng Wanyi was stunned. She didn't expect that she had always known about it since she was following her.
"Feng Wanyi greets the princess. Princess, you are a disciple of the immortals and will surely ascend to the upper realms in the future. Why are you dragging the Third Prince along?"
"The Third Prince could have become His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but now, because of you, he has given up the throne."
"If you marry him and suddenly leave him in the future, wouldn't that hurt His Highness the Third Prince?"
Qiu Yinong raised her eyebrows and smiled, and Feng Wanyi couldn't help but get lost in her smile.
"So you came to see me because of Ayun. Then, may I ask, Miss Feng, in what capacity are you speaking to me?"
Qiu Yinong didn't get angry but laughed, looking at her sarcastically and asked.
"Do you really want to be so selfish?"
"Why do you have to make me say it so clearly? I heard my father say that if you have to go to the front line in the future and might die, you can go alone. Why do you have to involve the Third Prince?"
