first class maid

Chapter 24
With just one glance, Xun Zhen knew that she was Princess An Xing, the emperor's daughter. Sure enough, the nurse next to her saluted and said, "Princess, the old slave has brought Xun Nu Shi."

Only then did Princess An Xing stop her pursuit, and slowly approached Xun Zhen with her head held high and a suspicious expression on her face.

Xun Zhen hurriedly lowered his head, "See the princess, this servant is the female history of the Shanggong Bureau..." Before he finished speaking, his chin was suddenly pinched and lifted, and the sharp fingertips pierced into the flesh and it hurt Yes, forced to look up at the pair of proud phoenix eyes above, "Princess..."

Princess An Xing didn't say a word, and pinched Xun Zhen's chin with Dan Kou's painted nails. Seeing the surprise and incomprehension in her eyes, she shook her hard and smiled contemptuously after a while, " Bengong still thinks how beautiful he is? So it’s just a mere errand.” He took the handkerchief from Gong’e and wiped his hands, looking dirty.

Xun Zhen didn't care about his pinched chin, and lowered his head, he said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Highness, what did the servant do wrong to make the princess angry? Please point it out, the princess, and the servant will definitely change it."

On the other side, a girl with a melon-shaped face and a lavender dress raised her eyebrows slightly, and slowly stepped forward, "Princess, she is just a mere court lady, why do you have to worry about her to get in a bad mood?"

"It's a pity that some people don't obey women's morals. As a court lady, she still has to seduce men. Of course, I will not forgive her." Princess An Xing sat leisurely in a round chair covered with high-quality red silk and embroidered pink plum cushions, and took the hand from the palace woman. Take a sip of the tea on the table.

Xun Zhen's head suddenly grew dizzy, and the number of men he saw throughout the year was very limited. Who did he seduce? "His Royal Highness has clearly observed that slaves and servants absolutely abide by the palace rules and dare not forget them." I turned around in my heart, and I didn't want to understand the reason.

The girl dressed in lavender said: "Your Highness, I feel that she is right. Besides, the marriage contract between Minister Gao and her is an old story. The Gao family has long since denied such a thing." She looked at Xun Zhen apologetically, if it wasn't for Princess An Xing's questioning, she would not have hurt her if she spoke quickly.

Gao Shilang?Xun Zhen's heart suddenly twisted hard, is it brother Wenxuan?Thinking that later when she inquired about him being the Minister of Zhongshu, her eyes were filled with tears. He finally came to the fore. The Minister of Zhongshu is not a big official, but he is a close minister of the emperor, and others will think highly of him.

"Cousin Liu, you are so kind, how can you suppress the flowers and plants around your husband in the future?" Princess An Xing looked at her cousin Liu Xinmei angrily.

Liu Xinmei smiled slightly, and stepped forward to help Xun Zhen herself, "Call me cousin at the princess, and you have to treat me a little bit, don't bother with this court lady?" Blinking at Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen looked at Liu Xinmei in astonishment, and the little girl in his memory had also grown up. Her childhood playmate, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Liu Jin'an, saw her wink and smiled back to express her gratitude.

Liu Xinmei's appearance is between charming and upright. She naturally has an impression of Xun Zhen, but now the two have a huge disparity in their identities, so naturally they can no longer treat her like they did when they were children, and soon they will no longer look at Xun Zhen. Instead, he chatted with Princess An Xing.

Xun Zhen stood aside silently, hoping that Princess An Xing would let her go and stop making trouble for her.

But this is just an illusion, Princess An Xing turned her eyes to her and stood up, "Didn't you come to make Chinese clothes for me? Why don't you come forward and have my body measured?"

Xun Zhen nodded yes, and hurriedly took out the soft ruler and went forward to measure Princess An Xing, and while recording, he listened to the unruly princess arrogantly said: "You are no longer a lady of the general's family, but a court lady. Let this palace firmly remember."

"Your servant knows that the marriage with Gao Shilang has long since ceased to exist as Miss Liu said, and the princess does not need to be wary of your servant." Xun Zhen followed her words.

Princess An Xing grabbed her wrist and stared at her with wide eyes, "What are you? Is it worthy of my guard?"

"It's the slave who said the wrong thing, the princess calm down." Xun Zhen knelt down and said, with a bit of grievance in his eyes, this princess is really unreasonable, if she is not wary of her, how can she find a reason to announce her?
"I just said a few words about you, but you are wronged?" Princess An Xing sneered disdainfully, "How long do you want me to wait?"

Then Xun Zhen hurriedly measured her body again, only after measuring for a while, Princess An Xing suddenly slapped her on the face, and said angrily on her pretty face: "Xun Nushi, your hand has touched my palace, my palace has golden branches and jade leaves. Can you, a lowly servant, touch it?"

The officials' daughters on the side covered their mouths and secretly sneered. Liu Xinmei couldn't help Xun Zhen this time. The stalwart man came into view, he straightened his clothes quickly, and ran his fingers through the broken hair on his sideburns. He no longer cared about his childhood playmate being made things difficult for him.

Xun Zhen warned himself to be patient, just to live well as his mother said, "I will remember this, please calm down the princess."

"Hmph, Xu Shanggong has neglected his duties this time, and actually trained a clumsy court lady?"

"It's because the slaves didn't do a good job, and it's none of Shanggong's business." Xun Zhen couldn't help but argue.

"Bold, how dare you talk back to me?" A breath of summer wind blew, eyes rolled, Princess An Xing smiled instead of anger, suddenly let go of the round fan in her hand and let the wind blow to the lake beside her, and immediately floated on the surface of the lake. Wearing a fan made of fine lake silk. "You useless court lady, you actually got my fan into the water, and why don't you pick it up for me?"

Xun Zhen stared wide-eyed at Princess An Xing, who was obviously planted on her. Is this the behavior a noble princess should behave? "Princess, not a slave..."

Princess An Xing winked at the nurse on the side, and the nurse's thick big palm instantly slapped Xun Zhen's face, "The old slave can see clearly that it is this female history who deliberately let the princess's round fan fall into the water , Still don’t admit it now? Princess, according to what this old slave sees, it’s better to increase the punishment.”

Xun Zhen's face turned pale in an instant, and his face was burning with pain. He glanced at Princess An Xing and sat back in the chair leisurely, "Either the punishment should be increased according to what the mother said? Or you can pick up the fan for me. Choose one of the two, I am also a very fair and benevolent person.”
