Since she realized that Chen Ruzhi didn't like the fact that she always promoted her status, she kept silent and said some considerate words instead. Chen Ruzhi came more and more frequently, even accompanying her for three meals.
Yue Yi secretly thought that her status in Chen Ruzhi's heart was always different from that of others, and everything she got was due to her status as "savior".
She suddenly remembered something and asked Xiao Tao: "Didn't you hurt her maid's hand that day? How about it? Did she come to see you?"
Xiaotao shook her head and said: "It must be because of you, Master, that they dare not come to me. That green bamboo is really annoying... I was really angry that day. I was just trying to fight against you, Master. You won't blame me for being good at it."
Make the decision?" She said at the end, feeling scared for a while.
Yueyi threw her a string of pearl necklaces: "Since you did it for me, of course I won't blame you."
Xiao Tao accepted the necklace with a smile on her face, but she still had a concern in her heart that she had to speak out: "Master, you said that if Bai Wanrou gets the power and takes charge of the back house of the prince's palace and steals the limelight, then the prince's side...
"
"The more powerful she becomes, the more disgusted she is by the prince. So what if she is born into a noble family? It's not that she is not loved by her husband, she can only be an abandoned wife for the rest of her life."
Yueyi evoked a smile that was sure to win, and said arrogantly, "No matter what, my husband will definitely protect me."
Since the imperial edict was issued, people in the palace have been talking constantly. Some people began to take the initiative to please Bai Wanrou, while most people outwardly called her Princess, but in their hearts they still did not take Bai Wanrou seriously.
For several days, Luzhu received many whispers from the servants, many of which were insulting to her. Bai Wanrou just smiled when she heard it, but she never expected that one day she would hear these words with her own ears.
Still in her yard.
…
"Isn't she just an abandoned woman? The prince has already abandoned her before, who still takes her seriously..."
"You can call her princess if you want. Anyway, in my heart, only Master Yue, who has a very good temper, can be a princess. Master Yue is now pregnant with the prince's child. It's only a matter of time before she becomes the princess!"
"Yes, after hearing what you said, I want to serve Master Yue. I don't want to serve an abandoned woman. It's bad luck!"
Bai Wanrou looked as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her face was as pale as paper. It turned out that these people arranged her in this way on weekdays.
Lu Zhu was angry that her young lady was being slandered, so she rushed up and scolded her: "You are so presumptuous! How dare you talk about the princess behind her back!"
The servants were all kneeling on the ground. Bai Wanrou had just taken a few steps forward when she heard Lu Zhu say worriedly: "Miss..."
"It doesn't matter." Bai Wanrou found the oldest maid among the crowd and asked her to raise her head and answer: "You should have stayed in the palace for many years and met many people. Let me tell you what kind of person this princess is.
What kind of person?”
The maid trembled and trembled for a long time before uttering a sentence in a trembling voice: "Princess, the princess is naturally a good person..."
"It seems that none of you know what kind of person I am, so that's okay..." Bai Wanrou asked everyone to stand up, and then said: "I will give you a chance to choose. In my courtyard, only those who are loyal will be kept."
2. People who work quickly will be rewarded if they do well. Those who can't do it can leave now."
Everyone looked at each other in shock. There were more than twenty people, but in the end only six people stayed. They were all little girls of sixteen or seventeen years old, and they looked smart and well-behaved.
After all the people waiting in the yard were sorted out and the house was cleaned, just when Bai Wanrou was about to reward the maids, she remembered that her dowry was still occupied and had not been taken back.
Several maids took turns giving her advice and encouraging her to get her dowry back.
A maid said: "Those things belong to you. If you keep them with others for so long, aren't you afraid that something is missing?"
When Bai Wanrou heard this, she remembered the pair of embroidered shoes left by her mother, which Yue Yi secretly wore!
Just thinking about it was unbearable, so she led several maids and went straight to the house where Chen Ruzhi usually stayed.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Ruzhi frowned and closed the book, looking at her with a cold face.
"I'm here to get my dowry back." Bai Wanrou pretended not to see Yue Yi leaning behind him, and only expressed her purpose, "I brought back so many things when I got married, I want to get back every penny."
Chen Ruzhi's words were sarcastic: "What tricks are you playing again? Bai Wanrou, don't try to anger me."
"Your Highness, you can rest assured. I'm just here to get back what belongs to me. I'll leave as soon as I get it." Bai Wanrou looked away, forcing herself not to look at Chen Ruzhi. She would leave as soon as her goal was achieved.
"As far as I know, many of the things Miss Yueyi is wearing were found in my trousseau. I hope to see these things in the yard before tomorrow and return them intact."
Bai Wanrou spoke very fast, raised her chin slightly, and scanned the surroundings with her slightly narrowed eyes, like a cat with a proud temperament.
Chen Ruzhi couldn't help but be stunned.
"Your Highness..." Yue Yi behind him said softly, "I don't even know where I have packed up those dowries."
"Then find it for me. Whoever took it will find it." Bai Wanrou pointed to the pearl pendant on her ear: "Start here and take it off for me."
"You!" Yue saw that Bai Wanrou's aura was hard to suppress, and she couldn't sit still, so she could only reluctantly take off her earrings, and then ordered her maid to pack away the dowry.
"Why don't you see Xiao Tao?" Bai Wanrou asked seemingly unintentionally, and Xiao Tao, who was hiding behind the screen, was even more reluctant to go out.
Yueyi secretly cursed an idiot, shook her head, and found an excuse to excuse herself.
After counting all the dowry, Bai Wanrou returned to the original route with satisfaction.
She still deliberately avoided Chen Ruzhi's gaze, even though she had noticed that the other person was looking at her.
Back in the yard, Bai Wanrou took out a box of jewelry without hesitation and asked each of the maids to pick one piece.
Each of them is valuable.
"Thank you, Princess. I will do my best to serve you in the future!"
"The same goes for slaves. If the princess has anything to do, just ask her!"
"Princess, the same goes for slaves, they can run errands for you!"
…
After everyone finished choosing, they rushed to express their loyalty. Bai Wanrou smiled slightly and said in her heart that if these people can be used by her and will not betray her, that will be enough.
As night fell, in the evening, the dinner was delivered. The maid Qingtang walked in from outside the house and said to Bai Wanrou who was sitting at the table reading a book: "Princess, the dinner is coming from the kitchen."
"Well, after reading the book for so long, I'm really feeling a little hungry." As she said that, Bai Wanrou rubbed her brows, her tired face moved slightly, she stood up calmly, her green fingers were slightly raised, she closed the book and threw it on the table.
"Yes." Qingtang nodded when he heard this, brought in the food box sent from the kitchen, and placed the food inside on the table one by one. He had just put one or two dishes on the table, but Qingtang didn't
Dare to continue bringing the bowl of soup with no rice in it to the table.
Seeing Qingtang's sluggish movements, Bai Wanrou raised her eyes and glanced at several plates of vegetables and radishes with little oil and water. She showed a wry smile and immediately got up, stretched out and went to the kitchen. Instead, she saw an indifferent and sharp look on her face - Rabbit
He will bite people when he is anxious!
The person who went to deliver her food this time was a middle-aged servant woman. When she heard that Bai Wanrou was coming with her maid, she looked proud and arrogant.
When the maid Qingtang who came with Bai Wanrou saw the servant girl like this, before Bai Wanrou could speak, she angrily smashed the food box in her hand to the ground and roared at her:
"How dare you! Your kitchen dares to neglect the princess like this! Let the princess eat these things for dinner? I think you don't want to live anymore!"
Hearing this, the servant girl sneered and said arrogantly:
"Princess? The prince had already abandoned this prostitute on the day she entered the prince's palace. What's wrong? Could it be that you, a little girl, don't think she can turn around as an abandoned concubine? It's good if she has something to eat. Do you really think so?
You are a noble princess?"
It didn't take long for the name of Princess to be restored. I'm afraid it hasn't spread throughout the whole government yet.
"You! How dare you talk to the princess like this?" Qingtang was instantly furious. He glanced at Bai Wanrou, who was standing beside him but did not speak, and immediately became anxious.
"There is only one princess in the palace now, Princess Yue! Your master has been an abandoned concubine for a long time. I advise you to find another master as soon as possible to avoid ending up like her in the future!"
Looking at the maid Qingtang next to Bai Wanrou who had been standing up for her, the maid looked sarcastically at Bai Wanrou who was standing beside her and said nothing. She felt that what she said was right, so she said several words to persuade the maid.
Change the master and follow.
"You..." Before Qingtang could speak for his princess again, Bai Wanrou, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up:
"I don't know that the servants in this kitchen are so arrogant? Why? Don't you know that today the emperor has decreed that the Princess Yue you talked about will be reduced to a concubine? Now I am the Jian'an Princess
The most serious Princess Jian'an in the palace! Give me a slap on her mouth! Let's see if she dares to do it again!"
With that said, Bai Wanrou gestured to Qingtang, who had just spoken for her, and asked her to slap the mouth of this servant who was so disrespectful to her. She was going to establish her authority in the kitchen today. Let's see who dares to be so arrogant in the future!
"Yes! Princess!" Qingtang had tolerated this servant woman for a long time, but now that his master had spoken, he rolled up his sleeves and spoke to the servant woman without saying a word.
Because Qingtang used to do menial work, so her hands were very strong, so before the servant girl could run away, she pushed her to the ground and received several big slaps on her face, which hurt her.
He screamed directly in the room.
"How dare you, an abandoned concubine, hit me? I am the one who serves Princess Yue! Be careful, I will let Princess Yue lock you up!"
The maidservant who was waving her hand to slap her never thought that she had already hit her so hard, but she still had the strength to say these words, and she immediately increased the intensity until she was beaten hard.
Feeling numb, the servant girl stopped shouting.
"What's going on?" Lin Feng heard the noise from a distance and rushed over. The servants who had been hiding around the kitchen to watch the show showed their heads in an instant, and they all started talking about the matter.
"Guard Lin, please save this slave! This abandoned concubine wants to kill the slave!"
As soon as the servant girl who had offended Bai Wanrou heard Lin Feng coming, she rushed over and hugged his legs, crying and howling with tears. This chapter has been completed!
