Chapter 72: Grabbing Breakfast
Shen Yuling followed Quan Minghe back to the palace last night, but she has to return to the Prince's Mansion this morning.
Shen Yuling followed Quan Minghe and got up early.
With the help of Li Ming and a group of palace maids, Quan Minghe changed into the black and gold dragon robe that demonstrated the majesty of the emperor.
He wears a crown on his head and strings of beads hang in front of him, which makes him look more solemn and dignified.
With the help of the palace maid, Shen Yuling also changed into a yellow and green waist-hugging skirt.
The skirt sways, and the posture is graceful.
Before Quan Minghe left, his eyes were burning.
But his tone was full of warning: "When I take you into the palace, you are not allowed to have any entanglement with Feng Moheng in the next few days. I know everything."
A blush appeared on Shen Yuling's cheeks.
He replied softly, "I know."
Quan Minghe left, and Shen Yuling was escorted back to the Prince's Mansion by a female secret guard.
It was still dark when Shen Yuling returned home.
I felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep again.
When she woke up again, she heard bursts of noise coming from outside the courtyard.
I saw an old woman yelling at the top of her voice.
"Xitong, bring out the stewed purple abalone with gypsophila and antlers!"
When Xitong woke up in the morning, she saw her master had returned to the room and was still sleeping and resting.
Hearing Wang Po's shouting, he had to hurry out.
"Mother Wang, this is Ninglan Courtyard, the residence of the Princess of the County. How can you be so loud and noisy?"
Xitong frowned and was very dissatisfied with Wang Po.
But Mrs. Wang held her head high and chest puffed out, looking arrogant and proud.
"Our Liu Ji is pregnant, and now she is the most precious person in the Prince's Mansion."
"Hurry up and bring out that bowl of stewed purple abalone with gypsum, ginseng and antlers!"
Xitong was filled with resentment and gritted her teeth secretly.
Her master was away these few days, and every time she went to get breakfast, she would run into Mrs. Wang.
And Wang Po took advantage of the fact that Liu Ji was pregnant and often chose the best meals.
Since the master was not at home a few days ago, Xitong did not care too much about it.
But today, when the master returned, Xitong went to the kitchen in advance to bring back the dish of purple abalone stewed with jacaranda, ginseng and antlers.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into the yard, Mrs. Wang came after her and snatched her away.
Although Liu Ji was pregnant, it was too arrogant for Wang Po to come to Ninglan Courtyard and make a scene!
"Mrs. Wang, the princess wants to eat this dish today. Please ask the kitchen to re-cook it and send it over."
Xitong said while suppressing her anger.
"Every ingredient in this dish is extremely expensive, and it takes a lot of time and effort for the chef to prepare it. You think you can just remake it?"
"Can the little prince in Liu Ji's belly wait?"
Mrs. Wang tilted her neck up with her nostrils pointed upwards, and her appearance was extremely annoying.
Xitong was annoyed by Wang Po's unreasonable behavior and didn't want to bother with her any more.
So he said bluntly: "Our master wants to eat this dish, but we can't give it to him today."
Mrs. Wang didn't expect Xitong to be so tough.
A few days ago, Liu Ji just announced that she was pregnant. Didn’t Xitong give up all the meals for her?
Doesn’t this mean that the Princess is also afraid of the baby in Liu Ji’s belly?
Wang Po became confident and rushed to Xitong and slapped her in the face.
"Who are you? Liu Ji is pregnant, she must eat what she wants!"
Xitong was caught off guard and fell backwards to the ground in an instant.
She widened her eyes and looked at Mrs. Wang in disbelief.
I have never been beaten in my life!
Shen Yuling was awakened by the noise in the house. When she walked out of the room, she saw Wang Po slapping Xitong.
Her face suddenly turned cold.
There was even a sudden pain in my heart.
Although Xitong is a system, it has accompanied her for sixteen years in this strange world.
Shen Yuling ignored the fact that her skirt was still messy as she had just gotten out of bed, and trotted over to Xitong and helped her up.
In the corridor beside him, Bai Hua frowned and looked solemn.
They are all secretly his Majesty's people, following his orders. Except for matters concerning Concubine Shen, they can only act in accordance with the status of the Prince's Mansion in all other matters.
This ensures that your identity is not exposed.
Fortunately, Concubine Shen returned today, otherwise, I really don’t know how this old woman Wang would continue to bully me.
Xitong hugged Shen Yuling's waist.
She complained aggrievedly, "Master, she bullied me, wuwu."
Xitong had been thinking about making sure her master had a good meal today, but she never thought that this old woman Wang would dare to come to Ninglan Courtyard and act wildly and challenge her.
Shen Yuling helped Xitong up.
He stared at Mrs. Wang coldly, with chills icy to the bone.
But Mrs. Wang still had a playful look on her face, showing no fear at all.
He said confidently, "Princess, it's your maid in the yard who doesn't know better. If she had brought out the meal that Liu Ji wanted earlier, why would it have come to this?"
Shen Yuling raised her eyebrows slightly but said nothing.
He turned around and pointed at a few people at random, Bai Hua was among them.
"Come here, all of you, hold her down."
Upon hearing the order, the maids who were secretly His Majesty's people did not dare to slack off in the slightest and immediately stepped forward quickly.
They all practice martial arts on a daily basis, so they are naturally very strong.
Before Mrs. Wang could react, she was suppressed in an instant.
He was forced to kneel on the ground with his hands firmly tied behind his back.
Mrs. Wang was both shocked and angry.
He said loudly, "Princess, I am from Sujin Courtyard. I am here to get today's breakfast on the orders of Lady Liu. What do you want to do?!"
"If anything happens to me today, and Liu Ji gets angry and hurts the baby in her belly, how will you explain to the prince?!"
Shen Yuling turned a deaf ear to her shouting.
Turned to look at Xitong.
"Slap her until you are satisfied."
There was a gleam in Xitong's eyes, and she became more energetic.
He responded in a crisp voice: "Yes!"
She walked quickly forward.
He raised his hand and slapped him. The crisp sound of the slap echoed throughout the courtyard, and then he slapped him again with his backhand.
Xitong didn't feel any pain. The slap she just received was just a shock.
Now is the perfect time to take revenge.
