C281 (1/2)
Last night, Qin Feng did not sleep at all after her departure, and the pain in her heart far surpassed that of her body. Last night, when Qin Feng saw Xuanyuan Zhiling leaving with a face full of embarrassment and annoyance, her heart actually bled.
When it was almost morning, Qin Feng was just about to fall asleep, but just as she was about to do so, a loud bang suddenly scared Qin Feng so much that she bounced up from her bed.
Before Qin Feng even had the chance to see what exactly happened, she saw an extremely ferocious face in front of him. It was the old nanny whom Qin Feng and Chong Shan saw yesterday with an ugly scar on his face.
At that moment, old nanny was staring at Qin Feng with a stern and cold expression.
”Newbie, I'll leave these dirty clothes to you today. If you can't finish washing them, there won't be any food left to eat.” The corner of his mouth even carried a hint of a pleased ridicule, as if he was waiting to see Qin Feng make a joke of herself. After all, Qin Feng looked very thin and weak, and in front of Qin Feng's eyes was the entire day's worth of dirty clothes from Chuxiu Palace.
It was almost like a small mountain as Qin Feng was instantly dumbfounded.
”You want me to wash all this myself?” Qin Feng pointed at her nose, staring at old nanny's sinister face in disbelief.
old nanny laughed sinisterly as if she had heard a great joke when she heard Qin Feng's words.
”Do you want me to bathe with you? ”I advise you to wash them all quickly, otherwise you won't be able to eat. Newcomers are treated like this, there's no need to complain!” The old nanny turned and was about to leave.
For some inexplicable reason, anger rose up in Qin Feng's heart.
”What's new?” I have a name too. ” As Qin Feng said this, she finally couldn't resist the urge to reveal her identity, because she basically needed two to three days time to wash the clothes in front of him.
When old nanny heard Qin Feng's words, she did not even turn her head to look at him and mocked in a gloomy voice, ”Name? ”We don't have a name here, only the law of the jungle.”
For some reason, Qin Feng suddenly felt that the old nanny's words sounded like a story, but in the next moment, she felt that it was really funny.
Qin Feng let out a helpless sigh as she stared at the mountain of clothes in front of her. It seemed that she wouldn't have to eat in the next three days.
Endless Harmony Hall, early in the morning, Xuanyuan Zhiling dressed in dragon robes, his expression cold and handsome as he sat on the dragon throne.
”Your Majesty, why was the empress sent to the Cold Palace for no reason at all?”
Some of the loyal subjects thought that Xuanyuan Zhiling's actions were just too ridiculous. empress had always been a dignified and virtuous woman, how could she have been beaten into a cold palace?
”This is my family's matter. It's best if we don't discuss this in the morning assembly.” As Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, so that meddlesome official naturally didn't dare to say anything more.
”However, I have a matter to announce. I am preparing to make Princess Yiyang my concubine. In short, she is not my imperial sister, so it would not be bad for me to do this.” When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, he was immediately shocked, everyone opened their mouths wide and stared at Xuanyuan Zhiling.
Xuanyuan Zhiling frowned, a look of displeasure quickly flashed across his face.
”What? Do you have any objections?” When the crowd saw that Xuanyuan Zhiling was unhappy, they naturally could only be angry but not say anything.
”Since you have no objections, then let's do it this way. Withdraw.”
In the royal study, Xuanyuan Zhiling who had left the imperial court was currently reading through the imperial reports, but suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and turned to Xiao Linzi who was beside him and asked: ”How's the woman recently?” Although Xuanyuan Zhiling had only gone there last night, he still did not know much about Qin Feng's condition.
”Your Majesty, empress's life hasn't been too good these past few days. I heard that she was punished to wash clothes this morning and the entire Chuxiu Palace's worth of clothes.” Xiao Linzi said with a pained look on his face.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Zhiling's face changed slightly, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.
”Why were you punished?” For some unknown reason, an uncomfortable feeling arose in Xuanyuan Zhiling's heart, but it was not enough to make Xuanyuan Zhiling angry.
”What reason does Chuxiu Palace need for that kind of place? It's just bullying the newbies. ” Xiao Linzi said unwillingly, thinking that as a empress, those lowly servants with Chuxiu Palace all had eyes that could not recognize Mt. Tai.
Xuanyuan Zhiling did not say a word, but a gloomy look quickly flashed across his face.
Inside the Chuxiu Palace, Qin Feng was pulled by the old nanny into the junk room to wash his clothes. When night fell, Qin Feng had already washed his clothes for an entire day, but she had not even eaten a single mouthful of food.
Just as Qin Feng was feeling dizzy from all the fatigue, the door suddenly opened. A woman wearing an old-fashioned palace uniform with a face full of arrogance walked in.
Although the clothes she was wearing were not any good material, they were way better than the clothes worn by the other palace maids in the Chuxiu Palace.
”Oh, there's someone new to wash our clothes, mumble, this is mine.” The woman rolled her eyes at Qin Feng and threw the dirty clothes in front of him.
He had originally wanted to leave, but he remembered something as he turned his head towards Qin Feng and said, ”Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, I'm the only person with some status within this Chuxiu Palace. You'd better wash my clothes properly, if they're a little bad, I'll skin you alive.”
”Who do you think you are? Everyone is just waiting for their deaths inside this Chuxiu Palace, are you really a grade higher than me? ” Qin Feng gritted her teeth tightly. An entire day of torture had already sapped all of Qin Feng's patience, and now no matter who gave him a slap, Qin Feng would not be able to bear it anymore.
When she heard Qin Feng's words, she sneered, with a bit of pride in her smile.
”I am indeed not a level higher than you, I am much taller than you. What I said was the best in this Chuxiu Palace, and that old fogey was only going to be my slave.” The woman said as she swaggered out of Qin Feng's junk room.
