The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 122 Slaves
"Serve in the room?" Zhao Shuang quickly waved his hands, and declined, "No need, I have brought a personal servant girl and servant."

"The concubine thinks they are not well-behaved?" Granny Wu glanced at the two figures on the ground, and then said to Zhao Shuang, "There are a few newly bought slaves in the backyard, do you want to take a look?"

Hearing the words, the two figures kneeling on the ground immediately lowered their bodies and shivered into a ball, and that Xiulan kowtowed continuously, but did not dare to speak.

Zhao Shuang turned his head and glanced at the regent, who still didn't speak, only frowning and reading.

"It's not that I don't think they're cute enough, it's just that... I'm not used to it." It seems that the prince is determined to ignore this matter, Zhao Shuang looked away helplessly, and asked, "Grandma Wu, you just said that the slaves you bought ……What means?"

"The princess doesn't know something. The servants we serve in the west of Yunnan...are all slaves," Granny Wu pointed at the people on the ground and shouted loudly, "Show your shoulders!"

Hearing this, the two slaves turned their backs, unbuttoned their collars, and exposed their left shoulders.

Zhao Shuang didn't expect this situation, and was stunned for a while, but it was too late to stop it, and a brand of "Xu" appeared on the shoulders of the two men.

"They are all newly bought slaves, and the brand was branded just a few days ago," Grandma Wu sighed, and explained, "If the master likes the new slaves, he can keep them. If he doesn't like them, Either sell it again, or dispose of it directly, anyway, it's not worth a lot of money..."

Xiumu still knelt expressionlessly, Xiulan shivered in fright, looked up at Zhao Shuang vigorously, seemed to have a thousand words to say, but she pursed her lips and dared not speak out.

"Ah?" Zhao Shuang dropped the teacup in his hand in shock, and hurriedly said, "Just...let him stay."

As a newcomer, she didn't want to cause two lives because of her words.

"Yes. Don't worry, princess, these two are the best in a hundred. They have excellent looks and temperament. They learned the rules in the mansion a few days ago," Granny Wu explained to Zhao Shuang with a smile on her face. Then he winked at Xiulan Xiumu with a cold face, "You still haven't thanked the princess?"

"Thank you, my lord and my concubine!" The two thin figures quickly kowtowed to the ground again.

"The old slave will go down first. If the prince and concubine need anything, just tell them." Granny Wu saluted and left the main hall.

"Both of you, get up and put on your clothes." Zhao Shuang glanced at the two slaves, then called out to the inner hall, "Xiangxia! Take the two of them down to learn the rules."

Xiangxia was just tidying up things in the back room, when she heard the call and ran out quickly, she was startled when she saw two servants who were unfamiliar, pointed at Xiulan and Xiumu and asked, "Princess... who are they?"

"The servants prepared by General Xu said to stay in the dead leaves to do things. You take them down and change into the clothes that are pleasing to the eye in the Central Plains, and then teach them the rules." Zhao Shuang rubbed his shoulders and said after being tired for a long time, "Go clean Prepare some hot water in the room, I want to take a bath."

"Yes!" Xiangxia hurriedly pulled Xiulan and Xiumu back.

Here, Yang Xuan flipped through "West Yunnan Customs and Local Chronicles" and sipped the new local tea, with a relaxed and contented demeanor.

"I said, why are you so calm? We didn't come to the west of Yunnan to enjoy the mountains and rivers!" The woman in yellow walked up and down the hall irritably, and couldn't help complaining to the man in black.

"I know! Let's visit the miracle doctor! The miracle doctor won't show up until the day Xu Lianyu pays his respects. What's the use of being anxious now?" Yang Xuan said, winking at her, and said softly, "Sit down and have a taste." The deciduous tea from Chuzhou tastes really good!"

"You just know how to eat and drink! The things in Chuzhou are too strange. The yard is called 'Dead Leaf Residence' and the tea is called 'Decided Leaf Tea'. It's unlucky!" Zhao Shuang sighed, sat opposite him, and complained, " And you! You are too careless, didn’t you listen to Granny Wu just now? Xu Lianyu made it clear to Mr. Li that they had secretly communicated with the song, and this Xu Lianyu lied to me and said it was because I woke up She didn't expect to be a side concubine, so she left because she wanted to climb high..."

"Huh?" The man in the black robe raised his head, snorted softly, and raised his eyebrows at her.

"No...it's not Gao Zhi, the prince is Gao Zhi!" Zhao Shuang immediately knew that he was narrow-minded and committed another mistake, so he quickly put down his complaining tone and coaxed him with a smile, "Xu Lianyu doesn't know people, and missed the prince." It's her bad luck..."

Yang Xuan listened to her complimenting herself while scolding Xu Lianyu, feeling quite pleased with her, curled the corners of her mouth proudly.

"By the way, my lord!" Zhao Shuang seemed to have remembered something again, straightened up, looked at him solemnly and said, "The two people that Granny Wu led just now, what kind of slaves are you talking about?"

In the prosperous Central Plains, there have been no slaves for a long time. How can there be any in western Yunnan?
"Yeah." Yang Xuan drank his tea with downcast eyes, not looking very surprised.

"My lord!" Seeing his tepid appearance, Zhao Shuang snatched the teacup from his hand.

"What are you doing?!" The man felt displeased when his tea cup was robbed.

"How can there be slaves in the prosperous Zhou Dynasty under your nose?" Zhao Shuang pointed at the door angrily and said, "You don't care!"

"You!" The man snatched back his teacup angrily, put it on the table, and said slowly, "In the prosperous age of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were naturally no slaves, but this is in the west of Yunnan, and the surrounding barbaric and ignorant tribes... There are slaves."

"But... why did those slaves come to our Great Zhou?" Zhao Shuang asked again.

"The garrison in western Yunnan sometimes fought against those barbarian tribes, and the prisoners of war were directly used as slaves. What's so strange?" Yang Xuan lowered his head and took another sip of tea, and said with a frown, "It's not that I, Da Zhou, bullied them, but It’s because they often invade the land in western Yunnan. Otherwise, who do you think Xu Shou has been stationed in western Yunnan all year round to guard against?”

"So that's how it is." Zhao Shuang looked in the direction of the inner room thoughtfully.

If the barbarian tribe provoked first, it would be understandable for Xu Shou to do so.

"Why are you bothering with so much business?" Yang Xuan patted the back of her head frivolously, and stretched her body nonchalantly, "Let's stay for ten days and half a month before leaving."

"I'm also the eldest princess of the Great Zhou. How can I not be worried about such inhuman things on the land of the Great Zhou?" Just now I heard what Granny Wu said. Not good...he was executed directly.It's a reckless disregard for human life!

"Oh?" The man in black raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Seeing her upright expression, a thought flashed through his mind.

Could it be that he underestimated her before?
"Anyway, I think... the practice of prisoners of war being slaves is too cruel, not to mention... there must be old and weak women and children in the barbarian tribe." The slaves are sweeping the courtyard.

"Their original tribe has long been accustomed to the strong eating the strong and obeying the strong. If they come to the Central Plains and let them go free suddenly, they may not get used to it." Yang Xuan turned another page of the book in his hand.

　In this part of western Yunnan, the stage where the heroine opens the soul seal, conceives and gives birth at the same time, will be more tortuous. After that, she will restore her memory and martial arts, and she will kill all directions!
