Chapter 3: Dog Slave
"Third Princess, although I am an abandoned child of the Tianfeng Kingdom, I entered the palace as a hostage as a prince. Not to mention that I didn't put the handkerchief into the lotus pond, even if it was me, it should have been retrieved by your palace servants, not me."
Ning Shengsheng nodded silently. What Xue Chen said was absolutely right. She was sent to the palace as a hostage, not as a slave, and she was not responsible for diving into the water to pick up things.
It's obvious.
Xue Chen's words did not convince the third princess.
"Hmph, you are just a hostage from a weak country. If this princess tells you to, you have to jump." The woman raised her hand to signal.
The palace maid beside him walked up to Xue Chen.
Pulling a whip from his sleeve.
He watched helplessly as the whip hit Xue Chen's face.
Ning Shengsheng couldn't help but complain inwardly.
Are you okay? Are you okay?
Do people in the Daning Palace like to whip others?
She leaped forward.
He pulled out his ice-blue whip.
The whip was like a swimming dragon, flexibly wrapping around the opponent's whip. Ning Shengsheng pulled it back, and the palace maid staggered and fell in front of Ning Shengsheng.
The maid was about to open her mouth to curse, but when she saw the person coming, her face turned pale and she lowered her head and retreated behind her master.
"Ning An, are you crazy? Are you standing up for a hostage?" The woman had a pretty face, but a domineering and unruly look, and her protruding cheekbones showed a bit of meanness.
Ning Shengsheng frowned unconsciously.
The woman in front of him wearing purple palace dress is the third princess Ning Jin, who is not much better than her original self.
These two regard human life as worthless more than the other.
"shut up!"
Ning Shengsheng is very confident.
In the palace, she was afraid of no one except the emperor.
He slowly retracted the whip and wrapped it around his waist.
She walked up to Ning Jin and said, "I have something to talk to Xue Chen about. Third sister, please go back to where you came from."
Ning Jin's chest heaved violently and he was very angry.
Helplessly, the guy in front of him was not easy to deal with, so he had to compromise and turned around to glare at Xue Chen fiercely.
He left angrily with the maid.
Take a few steps.
As if unwilling.
He turned around, stared at Xue Chen and said something harsh.
"Xue Chen, sooner or later you will fall into my hands, and then I will skin you alive."
Ning Shengsheng: “…”
A psychopath who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Ning Jin and his group quickly disappeared around the corner.
Xue Chen, who was standing next to him, had his eyes lowered and remained silent throughout the whole process. His gaze seemed to be on Ning Shengsheng's neck in front of him, but also seemed to be on the open space in front of him.
The clenched hands at his sides loosened slightly, and a hint of barely noticeable mockery appeared on his pale lips.
He didn't believe Princess Ning'an would save him.
Maybe the whip was too light just now, and he must have wanted to send him back to humiliate him again.
Ning Shengsheng saw the lotus flowers in full bloom in the pond, so she bent down and picked one, held up the tender pink flower, smelled the fragrance, and fiddled with the petals with great pleasure.
A hint of surprise flashed across the boy's black eyes.
The woman in front of him had a smile on her face, and her plump little mouth was slightly raised.
He could even see the transparent hairs on her earlobes, and the warm sunlight made her fair face look even smoother.
The whole person is very soft.
This look was completely different from when he was whipped just now.
The girl seemed unaware of the gazes behind her.
She turned around holding the lotus and saw Xue Chen still there, tilting his head with a puzzled look.
"Why don't you leave?"
Xue Chen was stunned, but quickly recovered and said, "Thank you, Princess Ning'an, for rescuing me."
He seemed to have his eyes downcast, but in fact he was observing Ning Shengsheng's every word and action all the time.
"It's a small matter."
"Go away and don't disturb me while I enjoy the flowers and fish."
Ning Shengsheng thought of her position and personality, waved her hand dejectedly, and glanced at him contemptuously.
"Humph, this is all I have left."
Xue Chen looked at her as usual.
Was that just his illusion?
"I withdraw."
Wait until Xue Chen walks away.
Ning Shengsheng raised her hand and wiped her sweaty forehead.
I don't know why I saved him this time.
Have you managed to restore some of your image in his heart?
The system required her to follow the plot and speak key lines, but it did not prohibit her from making up for it privately.
That is to say.
As long as she completes the fixed lines, it's okay for her character to be OOC.
When Ning Shengsheng was stroking her chin and thinking, she suddenly heard a noise beside her ears.
She turned around and saw a pink figure behind the pillars.
The maid met her gaze and quickly knelt down, saying in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, I'm just... just worried that something might happen to you... that's why..."
Songgao's terrified look made Ning Shengsheng realize how much others feared "Ning An".
She pursed her lips and hummed muffledly.
Walk deeper into the garden.
Songgao gradually loosened his clenched fingers, looked up cautiously, and his heart finally settled down.
The princess didn't even whip her?
She looked toward the horizon suspiciously.
Is the sun rising from the west today?
and……
Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't chase her away?
Songgao quickly stood up, and for fear of disturbing his own princess, he followed her not too far away.
The princess seemed to be wandering aimlessly.
unconsciously.
When they reached a secluded place, the princess stopped not far away, and Songgao looked up to see a garden full of pear trees.
Well......
His Highness has finally come to see Xue Jizi.
Ning Shengsheng, who was mistakenly thought to be looking for Xue Chen, stood under the pear tree and looked around blankly.
"Hey? Where are we going?"
After whispering these words.
Suddenly, a shrill shout was heard from not far away.
"It's good to have something to eat. Everyone knows that the Lord of Tianfeng hates you to the core. What are you, a discarded, shabby proton, pretending to be in our Daning?"
"Yo yo, you still dare to glare at me?"
Crash——
Along with the curses, the sound of porcelain being knocked over was heard.
Ning Shengsheng couldn't help but frown.
Xue Chen, this unlucky little guy, can be trampled upon by anyone in the palace of Daning.
One difficulty after another.
It’s even harder than Tang Monk’s journey to the West.
"You knocked this over yourself. Either you lie on the ground and eat it all, or..."
"Just go hungry, hahaha!"
The voice became more and more arrogant.
But she didn't hear Xue Chen say a word in rebuttal.
Songgao watched as his princess lifted her skirt and rushed into the courtyard where Xue Chen lived.
She hurriedly trotted after him.
Just entered the yard.
Then Her Royal Highness the Princess grabbed the eunuch's ear.
Cursing angrily.
"You black-hearted thing, are you trying to make others think that we in Daning have no rules?"
The eunuch grimaced in pain.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. Xue Zhizi said that we in Daning treated him badly."
"I was in a hurry..."
"Unfair treatment? Out of a moment of desperation? You're such a casual biting dog slave!"
Ning Shengsheng narrowed her eyes.
The strength in his hands increased a little.
"I heard it all clearly from outside. Xue Zhizi didn't say a word. You are deliberately making things difficult for me."
"You still dare to frame me now?"
"Well, if I don't punish you severely today, how can I show that the rules of Daning Palace are strict?"
After the eunuch came to his senses, he fell to his knees with a plop, crying and kowtowing.
"It's my fault. I was blinded by greed."
"There won't be a next time. Please be lenient with me, Princess!"
