Chapter 5
Chunlan has always attached great importance to appearance, but now she is beaten like this by Zhou Steward in front of so many people.

Covering her face, she was so wronged that she burst into tears.

It's a pity that no one at the scene sympathized with her, and those onlookers even applauded.

"These two slaps are hearty."

"It turns out that not all the servants of the palace are bad, but this vicious servant girl is the only one who treats the princess harshly."

Steward Zhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the anger of the crowd had calmed down, and then he looked at Tang Xueyao and said, "Princess, the servant has already punished this lowly servant girl for you. I wonder if the concubine is satisfied?"

Tang Xueyao, who had been sitting and watching the excitement, heard the words, and then Shi Shiran got up.

Seeing Tang Xueyao get up and walk out, Steward Zhou thought that Tang Xueyao had vented her anger and the matter was over.

However, in the next moment, Tang Xueyao said, "Butler Zhou, do you know what Chunlan did wrong?"

"Chunlan doesn't know the rules. Not only did she fail to prepare all the daily necessities for the princess, but she even dared to lock the princess in the courtyard and not give her food. She really ate the heart of a bear!" Steward Zhou said hastily.

"You are the housekeeper, the servant who manages the whole house. Since you admit that Chunlan made a mistake, then you are also admitting that you have committed the crime of dereliction of duty?" Tang Xueyao said.

Butler Zhou was taken aback, and looked up at Tang Xueyao in astonishment. He never imagined that after he had taught Chunlan a lesson, Tang Xueyao was still not satisfied, and wanted to take him to blame together? !

He is the man of the imperial concubine, who manages the huge palace, with one person under ten thousand.

If the prince wants to drink, he has to look at his face. Tang Xueyao is a newly married woman, why dare to ask him for it? ? !
Tang Xueyao looked at Steward Zhou's shocked expression, and sneered in her heart.

She made such a big fight, of course, not only to deal with Chunlan, a little maid.

After entering the palace, she became the wife of King Ning, and the palace will be her home from now on.

The imperial concubine is the mother of King Ning, with a noble status, Tang Xueyao has nothing to say when she is overwhelmed by her.

This housekeeper Zhou, no matter how high his status is in the mansion, he is still just a servant of the palace.

She and King Ning, the masters of the two palaces, have to look at the faces of the servants when they drink water and eat food. Is it plausible? !

So from the beginning, Tang Xueyao's goal was not Chunlan, but Steward Zhou!
"If you do something wrong, you should accept the punishment. Since Steward Zhou has punished Chunlan, it means that he agrees with this rule." Tang Xueyao said, "It won't happen to me, so I am reluctant to punish myself."

After Tang Xueyao finished speaking, everyone looked at Butler Zhou with strange expressions.

Especially Chunlan, her face was swollen from the beating by Butler Zhou. At this moment, she not only hated Tang Xueyao, but also hated Butler Zhou who did it to her personally!

Steward Zhou never expected Tang Xueyao to be so ruthless.

It's just the first day of coming to the palace, not only to use the maid Chunlan to stand up, but also to use him as a knife!

Sensing that everyone is staring at his every move, in front of so many people, even if Steward Zhou is unwilling in his heart, he can only admit it.

Steward Zhou gritted his teeth, knelt down in front of Tang Xueyao, slapped himself in the face, and admitted his mistake: "My villain... as a housekeeper, I mismanaged the palace and made the princess feel wronged. I beg the princess to forgive me. crime of dereliction of duty."

Tang Xueyao stood motionless, and received Steward Zhou's respect firmly: "According to the house rules of the palace, how should the steward be punished for committing a crime of dereliction of duty?"

"Punishment... half a year's salary." Zhou Butler said, covering his swollen face, feeling as painful as cutting flesh.

This is all white money!
"That's great. It seems that there are still rules in the palace." Tang Xueyao nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing that she had finally let go, Steward Zhou quickly took the opportunity to say: "The maid Chunlan has been punished, and the villain has also been punished for the crime. At this time, the millet porridge in the back kitchen is ready, the princess wants to go in and enjoy it?"

Tang Xueyao turned around, gave a blessing to the onlookers, and said, "It is said that the people in Kyoto are kind-hearted. Thank you for supporting Xueyao today."

Tang Xueyao is a princess, and the dignified princess is so polite to the people on the street, everyone is a little flattered.

"Hey, don't get in the way, don't get in the way."

"Princess is welcome."

"Back then, King Ning went to the front to fight, made great achievements in battle, and protected the people behind him. Today, the evil servant deceives the master, and the princess is in trouble. How can we just sit idly by?!"

"It is our honor to be able to help the princess."

Tang Xueyao smiled sweetly at everyone, turned around amidst everyone's praise, and said to Steward Zhou, "Let's go."

Butler Zhou bent down and followed Tang Xueyao, watching Tang Xueyao leave the sight of the people and walk towards the mansion, a sinister look flashed in his eyes.

He underestimated Tang Xueyao. He thought she was a small girl who had never seen the world, so he locked her in the yard and rubbed her into rounds and flattened her. The people who used the back door put pressure on him.

But at the same time, Tang Xueyao also underestimated him.

If she thought that his kneeling just now meant submission, she would be very wrong!

To be able to subdue the servants of the entire palace, Steward Zhou is naturally capable.

After a while, he asked Tang Xueyao to take a good look at his methods of managing the palace!
Surrounded by a group of servants, Tang Xueyao returned to the front hall.

As soon as she sat down, Housekeeper Zhou brought up a bowl of stinky swill: "Princess, this is breakfast for you and King Ning."

Tang Xueyao looked at the rotten and moldy food in the bowl, and said slowly: "Butler Zhou, what do you mean?"

Steward Zhou sneered: "Wangfei wouldn't think that Zhou would have to listen to you obediently if you yelled at the people, right? You might as well tell you that the whole palace is mine. If the imperial concubine and empress are not here, I am the biggest one in the palace." Master! You have to be sensible, drink this swill now, kneel down and admit your mistake with me, otherwise the prince’s today will be your tomorrow!"

Tang Xueyao looked at Steward Zhou and said, "So what you said about confessing your mistake in front of the common people and promising to prepare meals for King Ning and me are all lies?"

"Of course." Butler Zhou was almost amused by Tang Xueyao's innocence, "That's just perfunctory words, you don't take it seriously, right? By the way, I regret to inform you that the boys are going to the back door with tools, not only The back of the prince’s courtyard will be completely blocked, and new walls will be built in all the courtyards of the prince’s mansion. You can’t use the same method again.”

"I didn't intend to use it twice." Tang Xueyao shook her head and chuckled.

Seeing that Tang Xueyao looked relaxed and didn't panic at all, Steward Zhou vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but said, "What did you say?"

"I said, Steward Zhou, are you tired carrying the swill? Do you want to put your things down and rest?" Tang Xueyao asked Steward Zhou.

Steward Zhou was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he had been holding the stinky swill and hadn't moved for a long while.

This is obviously abnormal, according to his plan, he wanted to bring this swill to Tang Xueyao to disgust her, why is it still in his hands until now? !

Steward Zhou wanted to put down the swill, but his body seemed to be completely unconscious, and he didn't listen to it at all.

No matter what Steward Zhou was thinking, his body remained motionless, like a stone sculpture, standing stiffly and numbly in place.

Seeing Tang Xueyao looking at herself with a smile again, Steward Zhou's face changed drastically: "You did it?! What did you do to me, why can't I move my body??"

Tang Xueyao said softly: "In such a huge palace, everyone has to obey your orders. Butler Zhou is really awe-inspiring. I don't know if everyone will still respect you after you lie on the bed with all your hands and feet useless. , continue to obey orders with you?"

Great fear rose in Zhou Steward's heart.

No one knows better than him what will happen to a person after being crippled.

Back then, King Ning, a young man in fresh clothes and angry horse, was so majestic. In just three years, he became a useless person who could be bullied even by maids and servants.

Even the majestic princes have been reduced to this point, let alone a mere butler of the palace? !

Butler Zhou's facial muscles kept shaking, and tears kept pouring out of his eyes.

Kneeling at the back door before admitting his mistake was fake crying, but now he was really crying bitterly.

He repeatedly begged: "Princess, I was wrong, I beg you to forgive me, I will never dare again, I beg your lord to be generous, please forgive me this time, please..."
