Mrs. Huang glared at her: "Okay, you don't dare, then I'll ask you again, if I ask you to serve the second prince, will you agree or not?"
Zhong Yuxi clenched her pink fists in her sleeves and bit her lower lip tightly with her small teeth, which already caused a bloody mark.
She knew she couldn't disobey the old lady Huang, but she would never be able to serve a man other than Xiaofeng.
He gritted his teeth and refused in a loud voice: "I don't agree."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall suddenly became quiet like a stopped clock.
Xia Man had a sneer on her lips, waiting for the show to begin, while Xuanyuan's cold eyes were dim and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
"Okay, okay, what a Zhong Yuxi." Mrs. Huang was trembling with anger, "You are just a lowly commoner. It is your luck to step into the palace. Now I ask you to serve the prince, you
You just push back and forth, and you dare to talk back to me, someone is here."
The maid beside her hurriedly came out: "Queen Mother."
"Slap me, let's see if this ignorant little bitch dares to talk to me like this again." Mrs. Huang glared angrily. She didn't have any royal majesty. No wonder I heard that she was not subject to the old king when she was young.
Because of this, the old king fell in love with the daughter of a certain noble family. In the end, the woman gave birth to the current king, but she never had any children in her life. People say that if you have done more evil in your previous life and this life, it will be easier.
Cutting off children and grandchildren, this sentence couldn't be more appropriate when applied to her.
Zhong Yuxi's heart was as calm as water. As long as she didn't serve His Highness, it didn't matter if she suffered a little. As long as she felt worthy of Xiaofeng, it would be worth it.
The maid was Ah Wei. She walked up to Zhong Yuxi and lowered her head in fear. Although she had not been in the palace for a short time, she had also heard about Zhong Yuxi. The king and several princes loved her very much.
She once secretly visited her, and she thought to herself at that time, no wonder she was so cute, she was really good-looking, easy-going, never lost her temper, and was polite to everyone.
"Awei, why are you standing there stupidly? Give her a slap on the mouth." Mrs. Huang said angrily.
Ah Wei looked at Zhong Yuxi's clear eyes. There was no expression of fear in them, but it made her feel guilty. She raised her hand, but she couldn't hit him.
"Queen Mother, this little girl is timid, so let me do it."
Before Zhong Yuxi saw Mrs. Huang nodding, she had already been slapped hard on the face. This slap was so hard that bright red bloodshot eyes immediately overflowed from the corners of her mouth. Before she could react, another slap came.
hand.
Zhong Yuxi endured the pain, bit her lip tightly, and stared at Xia Man in front of her with calm eyes.
Xia Man frowned, how could she still be so comfortable and normal at this time? Shouldn't she have knelt down and cried and begged for mercy?
But it was that firm and unyielding look that made her the most furious. She gathered enough strength in her hand and slapped him away again.
But as soon as she waved her hand in the air, she was caught by someone. She looked at the person next to her in surprise and said, "Your Highness."
Xuanyuan Leng put her hand back and looked at Zhong Yuxi in front of her. Her cheeks were red and swollen, there were obvious fingerprints on her face, and the blood stains sliding across the corners of her mouth were like the most coquettish red thread. Even though she was in such a mess, she still
He said quietly and stood there stubbornly.
"Forget it." Xuanyuan Leng said: "Since she doesn't want to, Grandma Huang shouldn't force it."
Zhong Yuxi did not expect that Xuanyuan Leng would plead for her, and she was confused and wanted to see through his mind.
Mrs. Huang obviously hadn't calmed down yet, but when she saw Xuanyuan Leng speaking for her, she calmed down a little. She stared at Zhong Yuxi and said sternly: "Since the second brother is so generous, then I don't want to argue with a low-level commoner.
If there's another time, I won't forgive you so easily, do you hear me?"
Zhong Yuxi gritted her teeth, tried to calm down, took a deep breath, and replied respectfully: "Yu Xi won't dare next time."
Seeing that she had a good attitude, Mrs. Huang finally lost half of her anger and waved her hands in disgust: "Go back to work quickly. Be more restrained in the future. Don't keep flirting in front of the prince, making people laugh."
"yes."
After Zhong Yuxi left, Mrs. Huang looked at Xuanyuan Leng in confusion and asked: "Second brother, why did you plead for her just now?"
Xuanyuan Leng raised the corners of his lips: "Women are for playing with, not for beating. If they are beaten ugly, they will lose interest in playing."
Xia Man snorted in her heart. In the final analysis, they were just greedy for Zhong Yuxi's beauty. They could have sex, but they couldn't fight.
Mrs. Huang nodded, "This woman is ungrateful. She is involved with the seventh, sixth, prince, and even the fourth child. She is just a wanton, shameless temptress, very much like that bitch."
The bitch she spoke of was the king's mother. She hated her and also hated the king, so she wanted to support her favorite second prince to become the king.
"This time is to teach her a lesson. Don't think that you can do whatever you want with the king and prince protecting you." Mrs. Huang said bitterly.
"Queen Mother, please don't get so angry." Xia Man pressed her shoulders in a flattering manner.
Mrs. Huang smiled and patted her hand over the shoulder: "Man'er is better, considerate and docile. I really don't know which of the prince's eyes has problems, so he would fall in love with such a lowly commoner."
"Queen Mother, please don't blame His Highness the Crown Prince. He is just playing for fun. After playing enough, his heart will naturally come back."
"Oh, Man'er is so generous. The prince should cherish it."
Xia Man smiled like a silver bell, but secretly sneered in her heart: "The fun has just begun."
Zhong Yuxi returned to her residence, found ice cubes, packed them into a small bag, and applied it to her face with her hands.
The grievances in her heart were like the melting water in an ice pack overflowing. With one hand, she put Erxi on the other side of her face, which was burning with pain. Xia Man's hand was heavy and cruel, and the corners of her mouth were
cracked.
Mrs. Huang's extremely insulting and harsh words echoed in her ears, her nose couldn't help but feel sour, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She raised her head and shed the tears that were about to well up. Erxi looked at her quietly, watching her swallow all the grievances and tears into her stomach.
She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand and grabbed her cell phone on the bed.
It was now six o'clock in the evening, and the time in Yingguo was six o'clock in the morning. At this time, he should still be sleeping. She couldn't bear to disturb his sleep. He was so tired every day and often went to bed in the middle of the night.
But she had nowhere to express her grievances. Her slender fingers pressed on the keyboard. His number was on the screen, but she couldn't press it.
After struggling like this for a while, she finally put the phone away.
She didn't sleep well at night, and her face was stinging. So in the morning there was a harsh knock on the door. She woke up immediately, put on her slippers and went to open the door. Unexpectedly, the door opened as soon as her hand touched it.
A group of guards rushed in and pushed her to the ground without any explanation.
