Reborn as the General's Wife

Chapter 37 Unpredictable People
"My servant swears to the sky, what I just said is absolutely true, even if I deceive anyone, I would not dare to deceive our Highness Princess, you must know that Her Highness will become the most outstanding princess in Platinum Kingdom in the future. This servant will also be The most outstanding court lady will never tell a lie!" While speaking, she really started to move her hands, raised her hands, stretched out a few fingers, as if she was about to swear.

Gu Qingxin smiled, although she said it was meant to be flattering, but it is undeniable that the sincerity in Hongdou's eyes and that funny movement really made her happy, very happy.

It is always happy to be praised for being beautiful, even a little girl will be like this, no one is exempt, including the princess, including she has experienced two lifetimes, it is the same.

"Okay, stop flattering me. You are bored. Now I will teach you one thing. If you do it well, I will reward you."

"What's the matter, Her Royal Highness just give orders, I don't care about rewards or not, servants who follow Her Royal Highness are sure that rewards will be indispensable in the future, but now Hongdou is really boring, even if you let me chop firewood and light a fire! "As soon as Hongdou heard that she was going to do something, she almost jumped up, a feeling of hopelessness and tears in her eyes could sum up all her feelings at the moment.

Gu Qingxin picked up Jiu Lianhuan and said, "Aren't you proficient in medical science? Take gifts from this Jiu Lianhuan and other concubines. If there is any suspicion, let this princess check it out. If you know who you are, you don't know what you are thinking. You can accept the things you want, but if you want to use them, you must be careful."

"Okay." Seeing the dignified expression of Her Highness the Princess, Hongdou also put away her aggrieved expression and became serious, "The servant girl will go right away."

Her Royal Highness is right. Regarding the safety of Her Royal Highness, they must do everything by themselves. They must ensure that everything is harmless to the Princess. Whether it is food or clothing, they must check again and again that there is no problem. It can be used by princesses.

It was also part of her training to be sensitive and nuanced to all dangers.

After Hongdou went out, a second-class maid came in to serve her.

"What's your name?" Gu Qingxin asked, the little maid lowered her head, she seemed to be quite young, a little timid, she kept her head down all the time, she didn't dare to look up at her at all, she should be a very introverted girl.

"Servant, this servant's name is Xiaoju." The little palace maid replied somewhat stammeringly.

It's strange, she's so cute, shouldn't make people so nervous, Gu Qingxin said with a joking surprise: "This princess won't eat you again, why are you so nervous!"

With a sound of "Plop", the little maid immediately knelt down, kowtowed fiercely on the ground and said, "His Royal Highness, please forgive me, this servant didn't do it on purpose, this servant didn't do it on purpose."

Without saying a word, the little maid was about to kowtow on the ground, the loud sound made Gu Qingxin frown.

The people around her can be introverted or cowardly, but they can't be so timid and spineless!At the beginning, she could still moisturize and understand, but now, it has always been like this, she knelt down before she finished speaking, where is her dignity?Even if you are a court lady, you should have your own ideas.

She didn't say anything serious, and she didn't show any majesty. This maid named Xiaoju behaved like this, as if she could eat people. If she met other concubines outside in the future, her legs would tremble and she would come down. If she knelt down and begged for mercy, she would lose face.

"Come here," Gu Qingxin was about to speak, when another court lady ran in from outside.

"Your Highness, please spare Xiaoju this time. She is just too timid. There is absolutely no other reason. When you came here yesterday, Xiaoju was sick, so she didn't know about Her Majesty. If Her Majesty really wants to punish her , just punish the servant, and the servant is willing to accept the punishment instead of Xiaoju."

Also kneeling in front of Gu Qingxin, the maid who came from behind spoke in a calm and forceful tone, and the loyalty and responsibility in her words made Gu Qingxin interested.

"Oh, the princess's punishment is not something that everyone has the honor to bear. Are you sure you want to accept the punishment instead of Xiaoju?"

Xiaoju was a little flustered, her face was pale, but she didn't move, she just looked at the later court lady expectantly and nervously, her palms were sweating.

The later court lady glanced at Xiaoju, and her tone became firm again: "Slave is sure."

Gu Qingxin could clearly observe that the expression on the face of the maid named Xiaoju immediately relaxed, as if she was very glad that she had escaped.

Gu Qingxin was amusing watching it from the sidelines, but Xiao Ju, a court lady, was a lot of fun, and she didn't seem to be under any pressure when others took the blame for her. Why is that?Anyway, it's boring now, so let's take a look at the reasons for this.

Called Xiaoju out, "It's nothing to do with you now, Xiaoju, someone has accepted the punishment for you, and it's nothing to do with you now."

Xiaoju backed out slowly, and when she turned her head, she glanced at the culpable court lady behind her, but she walked out decisively in the end.

Sure enough, there is no nostalgia, how much favor does this court lady owe to others, why is she so kind to her?It's just that, sometimes, being nice to others doesn't mean you can get the same return. Moreover, it's possible that someone will bite you back. She wants to see if this palace lady knows that Xiao Ju is not as good as she thinks in her heart. What expression is it.

"Get up too."

"Yes, Your Highness the Princess." Although she was surprised, the maid still stood up. In the Qingxin Palace, Her Highness the Princess is the master, and the master must listen to her words.

"what's your name?"

"Xiao Fang."

"What's the relationship with Xiaoju?"

"Relationships from the same hometown."

"Why do you want to take the blame for her?"

"Before leaving, Xiaoju's parents asked the servant to take care of her, and the servant also treated her like a younger sister in her heart."

"Have you ever done the same thing before?"

Xiaofang raised her head, her surprised eyes told Gu Qingxin that she guessed it right!

"Yes, because it's the elder sister's duty to protect the younger sister."

Well, everything is clear. These two court ladies are originally from the same hometown, but they have completely different personalities. Xiaoju is timid and cowardly, and Xiaofang defends his shortcomings. Then, the question is, is it really worth it for Xiaofang to do so?
She regards Xiaoju as her younger sister, but Xiaoju doesn't necessarily regard her as her older sister.Maybe one side enjoys her protection as a matter of course, but the other side is laughing at her contribution!
Just like Gu Qingxin in her previous life, she regards the two imperial sisters as her elder sister, but they may not necessarily regard her as her younger sister. They are jealous of her beauty, jealous of her favor, while maintaining a good image of a good sister, on the other hand , used more than ten years to push her life like an abyss!
"Xiaofang, do you think it's really worth it? Think about it carefully. Every time you help Xiaofang protect Xiaofang, has Xiaofang ever refused your protection? Has she ever worried about your situation? ? Did she ever thank you afterwards and feel guilty towards you? Did she care about you and ask for your warmth when you were punished instead of her?"

Gu Qingxin came over and asked questions one by one.

Xiaofang was stunned. She had never thought about this question, because others said that she should protect Xiaoju well, but Xiaoju's health is not as good as hers, so she has been protecting her, and if something goes wrong, she will replace Xiaoju carried.She had never thought about these issues before, but the fact turned out to be that when she really recalled it, she found that Xiaoju hadn't even done a single thing Her Royal Highness said.

Never, whether she was punished instead or helped her do things, never got a word of thanks, let alone anything else.

"You come with this princess, this princess will let you see the other side of things."

Xiaofang did not refute, but followed behind Gu Qingxin.

Walking along the way, Gu Qingxin casually asked where Xiaoju was. Xiaoju was sweeping the floor with another court lady in another garden.

Gu Qingxin signaled Xiaofang to stand by the wall and not to go over, just eavesdropping on what they were saying.

"Xiaoju, why did you come out? Just now I heard that Her Royal Highness seemed to be angry. You were not punished, right? But I think Xiaofang rushed in just now. Could it be that Xiaofang blocked all the punishment for you again? "

"That's for sure, that ugly monster is like this every time, as if she thinks she looks good to me, so I dare not write about her!"

"You are so lucky to have such a good fellow countryman, I really envy you."

"Oh, what is there to envy? You don't know her, but there are so many vicious and boring people. In fact, I don't know how much I hate her! You may not know that in our village, she I often play with many boys, and I have no sense of shame."

"Ah, it turned out to be like this. That Xiaoju looks quite honest. I didn't expect to be such a woman. I will never talk to her again."

Gu Qingxin didn't continue to listen to the following words, because Xiao Fang who had been listening outside had already burst into tears.

"Come with this princess."

Gu Qingxin took the lead, and Xiaofang immediately followed.

"Are you satisfied with what you heard? Now you still feel that what you have paid is worth it?" Gu Qingxin asked casually.

Xiao Fang frowned, hesitated for a long time, and finally replied: "Your servant, I know I was wrong."

"Wrong," Gu Qingxin found the word, and asked again, "What's wrong with you? It wasn't you who was wrong in the first place, and it wasn't you who angered this princess. You were right."
