Chapter 58 Punishing Yu Xing
Outside, there was a lot of dark wind and rain because of this incident. In the Yulinglong Hall, Xu Lanshan was resting without worrying about anything.
Although she was resting in Wan'an Palace, and even in the eyes of Dong Zhi and others, Concubine Xu was a bit spoiled, that was all just interest, three parts true and seven parts false, and she had to strike a good balance, otherwise it would be a disaster. Although these three days greatly satisfied her vanity, she was really tired - mentally tired.
Now that I'm back in my own territory, I can finally relax and lie down like a lazy fish.
After completing this mission, the gains were great.
Her hearing ability increased from 40% of the normal level to 70%, and her skin quality improved to 100%, finally filling up the progress bar, which means that her skin condition is at its peak and perfect.
Swimming skills have also been improved to 60%, while ordinary people can only reach about 40% according to the system's standards.
The body's flexibility also reached 60%.
What made her happiest was that she was given two detoxification pills that could cure all kinds of poisons, and that what the system said was right. In the future, even if she failed to complete the task within the specified time limit, she would not be eliminated immediately, and the time to complete the task could be extended by one cycle.
Seeing her happy, the system cheerfully encouraged her: "Keep up the good work, dear. The more tasks you complete, not only will you have longer time to complete them, but you'll even get cards to change tasks. You can change each card once."
Xu Lanshan smiled and said, "Well, okay, okay, everyone, let's work hard together!"
Although this system, which is full of tricks, is just painting a rosy picture for herself, Xu Lanshan is still willing to believe it and take it as a target.
She can't resist anyway, right?
In the Yulinglong Hall, Xu Lanshan wanted to have a good rest, but Yuxing kept nagging beside her.
During the three days that Xu Lanshan stayed in Wan'an Palace to "recuperate", Yuchan was serving her there. Yuxing was left in Yulinglong Hall to guard the empty room and was not even qualified to step into the door of Wan'an Palace. This made her jealous and hateful.
As soon as Xu Lanshan and Yuchan came back, there was something wrong with the way Yuxing looked at Yuchan.
Xu Lanshan was very familiar with this look. In her memory, Su Ying often stared at the original owner with this look.
This made Xu Lanshan very unhappy.
Perhaps it was her previous deliberate indulgence that gave Yuxing the illusion that she was easy to control, or perhaps, in Yuxing's heart, even though she was a concubine, she was still a palace maid at heart - a palace maid like her, so she was so presumptuous.
In her words, Yuxing blamed Yuchan, saying that she was negligent in her duty, that she had failed to protect her master, and that she had caused her master to fall into the water and become sick. She should be punished and reflect on her mistakes, but she had the nerve to stay in Wan'an Hall for so many days, without feeling any guilt or fear of offending her master. She really didn't care about her master at all. How could someone like her...
As she spoke, she brought up Xu Lanshan again, implying that as a master, Xu Lanshan shouldn't be so impatient. The master couldn't be so ignorant of people. How could Yuchan not be punished for doing something wrong? She knew much more than Yuchan and was much more reliable. It would be better to have her accompany the master more often in the future to ensure that no mistakes were made...
How could Xu Lanshan not understand what she meant? She understood without much hesitation that she was careless and just wanted to go to Wan'an Temple.
What did she want to do in Wan'an Hall? Oh, now it's even clearer, as I am a ready-made example!
If she could rise to power by relying on a palace maid, why couldn't she?
You know what, the Queen Mother is really thoughtful. This time, the palace maid she asked the Shanggong Bureau to send is quite beautiful.
Xu Lanshan was tired of listening to this, and she had been given enough sweet treats during this period of time. It was time to give her a beating, otherwise she would become arrogant and forget her own limitations.
Xu Lanshan, who was lying down, immediately turned over and sat up, glaring at Yu Xing and yelling, "Shut up!"
Yu Xing was startled, her expression changed, and she quickly forced a smile: "Master, this servant is doing this for your own good, this servant——"
"Get out and kneel!"
Yuxing opened her eyes wide in surprise, unable to believe it!
Xu Lanshan wanted to laugh. How surprising! Why did she think he wouldn’t punish her?
"Didn't you hear what I said? Are you deaf? Get out here and kneel down!"
"Master, this servant is devoted to you—"
"You're rebelling! You dare not listen to me? Yuchan, go tell the Queen that I'm incompetent and can't keep such a stubborn servant by my side. Please ask the Queen to take this person away and send him back to the Shanggong Bureau, and send me an honest and obedient servant!"
Yu Xing's face changed drastically, and she quickly knelt down: "I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Master. I will never do it again!"
If she was returned to the Shanggong Bureau by her master, she would never be assigned any good job again, and she would never be able to make a name for herself. For someone like Yuxing who was obsessed with climbing the social ladder, it would be the end of the world.
Xu Lanshan originally just wanted to scare her. How could she easily get rid of someone sent by the Queen?
Seeing that she understood, he stopped making things difficult for her and sneered, "Get out and kneel down!"
"yes......"
Yuxing didn't dare to talk back this time. She went out obediently and knelt at the door with her head down.
Xu Lanshan deliberately kept Yuchan and tried to appease her with some kind words. Yuxing overheard this as she walked out, and she became even more furious.
Kneeling at the door, Yuxing became more and more angry. She not only hated Yuchan more, but also hated Xu Lanshan.
When she first came, perhaps her heart was not so big, but Xu Lanshan was good-tempered, easy to talk to, and treated her gently, so she gradually stopped taking her seriously and did not regard her as her master at all.
She was thinking more about: "It's just that she was born a palace maid like me, and she was lucky. If she can have such luck, why can't I?"
And secretly despised him: after all, he was born in a lowly family, and even as a master he had no idea how to behave, and he had no dignity at all...
But now she was punished to kneel here. You can imagine how disappointed she felt. She was so angry!
Xu Lanshan punished her by making her kneel for an entire hour before letting her get up. However, she didn't see her and sent her away to reflect on herself.
In the evening, Emperor Yuan Yong came over and had dinner with Xu Lanshan. After dinner, the two took a walk in the pomegranate forest together. Xu Lanshan held Emperor Yuan Yong's arm, and they leaned on each other, were intimate, talked and laughed, and looked like a perfect couple.
For some reason, Yuxing couldn't help but quietly watch from a distance. She couldn't see clearly, couldn't hear their conversation, but she could hear Xu Lanshan's charming, clear laughter, and could see the pomegranate blossoms in her hair, personally pinned by the Emperor. Yuxing couldn't help but pinch her palms. Who wouldn't want such an imperial favor?
They are all palace maids. Xu Lanshan can do it, so why can't she?
As long as the Emperor likes...
