first class maid

Chapter 35
"Slaves are terrified." Xun Zhen said.

"You exposed this matter well, otherwise how many court ladies would have died unjustly in the palace? What kind of reward do you want? This palace will agree to it." Empress Tang smiled quite broadly.

Yu Wenhong tapped on the table. In fact, his mother's question is not easy to answer. If it is too big, it will be like a lion opening its mouth, and the previous efforts will be in vain. If it is too small, it will appear that there is no ambition. When inspecting Xun Zhen, his eyes landed on her, but she lowered her eyes slightly so that he couldn't see what she was thinking.

"Your Majesty, the slaves are just doing their own things, and they can't bear the rewards from the Empress. If the Empress really wants to reward the slaves, then it's better to give those maids who made mistakes a way out." Xun Zhen said respectfully, and rectified because of this It must be a hundred times bloodier, and if you lose your power and ambition, you will at least save your life.

"Oh? It won't do you any good to do this?" Empress Tang's eyes sparkled.

"The empress's great kindness will be praised in history books, and the slaves will be honored, and they will be famous in history in the future." Xun Zhen looked up at Empress Tang with clear eyes.

Empress Tang laughed out loud. This court lady is really smart. Originally, she wanted to kill as many people as possible, so as to shock those who stared at her successor and crown prince. However, history books will definitely say in the future She is cruel and bloody, it is better to leave a good reputation as a good queen.

"Okay, I will play as you say. Your character is really good. I will not let you down. Xu You, promote her to be a maid in charge, Situ Hui, and make a record immediately when you go back."

All the maids present looked at Xun Zhen with envy. This kind of good luck has never happened to a 15-year-old court lady. There are very few people who can advance in three to five years, let alone Xun Zhen. This way of jumping.

"Yes..." Xu You looked at Xun Zhen with complicated eyes.

"Your Majesty?" Xun Zhen wanted to say something else.

Empress Tang's eyes suddenly became fierce, "If you show my kindness again, I will doubt your intentions." Gently flicking the tea bowl that was handed over by the maid next to her, she half-closed her phoenix eyes.

"You court lady, don't be ignorant of good and evil." Yu Wenhong always knew what the empress's expression represented, so he spoke in a timely manner.

"Yes, the maidservant thanked the empress for the reward." Xun Zhen quickly lowered his head and said, as long as Yu Wenhong made a sound, the fear from childhood would well up in his heart, how could he have other thoughts?
Empress Tang nodded happily, and gave some instructions to Situ Shanggong before waving them to leave.

Xun Zhen followed Xu You out of Fengyi Palace, only then did he dare to breathe a sigh of relief secretly, and after turning a few turns, suddenly the people in front stopped and turned their heads to look at her with complicated eyes.

Xu You stood in front of Xun Zhen, "Although she caused a big storm this time, it's not bad for everyone..."

"Did we say something? We haven't congratulated Xu Shanggong for his help yet. The empress's extraordinary appointment made her the youngest maid in charge in history. It's too late for us to thank her? Come on, we sisters will have to give her someday. You have a thank-you banquet." Wang Ying Shangyi waved her handkerchief flamboyantly and said.

Everyone also said congratulatory words one after another, whether it was true or false.

Situ Shanggong held her hand even more affectionately, "Xunnu Shi must cherish this opportunity, so that I can have a good future in the future."

Xu You pulled Xun Zhen's hand out without a trace, "It's no need for Situ Shanggong to worry about it. I, a Shanggong, will worry about her. I believe that Situ Shanggong knows how to answer, right?" Said in a volume that only three people could hear.

Situ Shanggong smiled imperceptibly with his face turned away from the sun, "Don't worry, your empress can't be liked by everyone." She turned and left with a flick of her sleeve.

Several other high-ranking maids also smiled politely and left, this time there are too many things to do.

"Sir Shanggong, let's go back quickly, Rongrong is still in their hands." Xun Zhen pulled Xu You's sleeve anxiously, and she didn't bother to guess what Xu You and Situ Shanggong had just said.

Xu You patted her hand, "Xun Zhen, don't worry, they won't kill Lu Rong." But he still rushed to the Shanggong Bureau with a serious face.

After only walking a few steps, Sun Datong stepped forward panting, "Xu Shanggong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince announced to see Xunnu Shi."

"What's the matter?" Xu You asked worriedly.

"Isn't Xu Shanggong embarrassing our family? How dare we ask about His Highness's affairs? A slave has his own difficulties." Sun Datong looked embarrassed.

"Elder-in-law is right, Xun Zhen, you just go there, His Highness may have orders, you have to listen carefully and report back to me." Xu You said.

Sun Datong's small eyes widened a little bit. Xu You seemed to have a lot of affection for Xun Zhen, and he defended her repeatedly. When the empress wanted to reward her, she also wanted to reject it just now, because she wanted to make her body feel uncomfortable. It is very rare to speak out to defend her after being branded as a queen. Although Xu You is gentle and fair, she is actually more ruthless than anyone else.

"But, Rongrong..."

"Xun Nushi, I'm in charge of this matter, so hurry up and follow Eunuch Sun."

Xu You interrupted Xun Zhen's words, and he and Sun Datong bowed slightly and walked forward.

Xun Zhen didn't want to see that cold prince, which made her heart skip a few beats, followed behind Sun Datong, and couldn't help asking: "Eunuch Sun, um, why does Your Highness see me?"

"Don't be afraid, Lady Xun, you will have your own orders when you see His Highness." Sun Datong said with a smile.

Under the shade of the trees at the side, there were no palace people walking around, only Yu Wenhong's East Palace guards guarded a few passages to prevent people from approaching. Some palace people bowed their heads and walked around when they saw it, which shows that the prince's position is quite stable.

Gao Wenxuan had been waiting here for some time, and only then did he wait for Yu Wenhong's arrival, seeing the orange figure approaching, "See Your Highness..."

"Gao Shilang, Guxuan, you have intentions." Yu Wenhong waved his hand to signal him not to be too polite, "Wenxuan, you have a bright future, don't get entangled with a court lady anymore."

Gao Wenxuan listened to him instructing him in a gentle and caring voice, and the annoyance that had been hidden in Xun Zhen's heart since Xun Zhen fell into the water that day burst out at this moment, "His Royal Highness, you actually already know the whereabouts of Zhen'er, why did I ask you?" At that time, you used delaying tactics to deal with the minister..."
