The dishes were originally ordered by this private room. The waiter took a look at the room number and nodded with certainty. It was right here. Another waiter who came out just now repeatedly told him not to send the wrong place. How could he be wrong?
“It’s here. That’s right!” the waiter said in a daze.
“You’re wrong. This is the dish we ordered. We’ve been here for a long time. How is it possible that there isn’t any food for us yet?” The palace maid, dressed in a maidservant costume, was angry. Her finger almost touched the waiter’s face as she pointed to her. Her mistress had been moody recently. Many people in her palace had been thrown into the Flower Hall. She did not want to be the next one.
She must take this dish!
After that, she did not intend to say anything more to the waiter. She reached out to take the tray and was ready to serve the dishes on her own. As for the two maidservants standing at the door, she did not take them seriously at all. Of course, she would not pay too much attention to them.
The waiter did not expect that she would move so fast, and the tray in his hand was immediately taken by the palace maid.
“Hey, what are you talking about? This is our dish. Why did you take it?” The two maidservants did not show weakness. Who was their mistress? The trusted subordinate of the Empress Dowager in the palace. Even King Ning was polite when he saw their mistress. When was it someone else’s turn to patronize them?
“We’ve been here for so long, but we haven’t even been served a dish yet. You were late, but you’ve gotten dishes. Is this dish not ours?” The palace maid pushed away the hand in front of her and came to the Sixth Princess’s private room. First of all, she had to appease the Sixth Princess’s mood.
“What do you mean by you’ve been here for so long, but you didn’t even been served a dish? That’s because you don’t have the ability. Don’t you know where it is? Is it a place where you can behave wildly?” The maidservant was angry. No one had ever been so shameless to them. Seeing that they were dressed ordinary and didn’t take them seriously, she sneered.
“You must be from a poor, humble family. How dare you be so arrogant in front of us? Don’t you know what kind of person you are?” the other maidservant also mocked, sharp-tongued.
The Sixth Princess had been involved in too many things, and she could not go out of the palace at all. Therefore, she came out secretly and kept a low profile. The palace maids were dressed as the most common maidservant, which was much worse than the two maidservants of King Ning’s Manor. Therefore, the two maidservants of King Ning’s Manor looked at the two palace maids with disdain.
The two palace maids really did not want to have a conflict with them, but they had to take the dishes. The Sixth Princess, who was in the private room, was in a bad mood. Unwilling to talk nonsense with the two maidservants of King Ning’s Manor, the palace maid, who held the tray, reached out again and pushed away the maidservant’s hand, ignored them and walked to their own private room.
When the maidservant of King Ning’s Manor saw that the two of them ignored her and left with the dishes, she did not want to rest. She reached out to pull the sleeves of the palace maid who was holding the tray. She did not use much strength at first as she just wanted to pull the tray from the palace maid’s hands so that she could take the opportunity to take it over.
However, she seemed to have used too much force as the palace maid swayed because of the pull and couldn’t hold the tray in her hand. While the tray fell to the side, the waiter standing aside was quick-witted and immediately stepped back a few steps, but the two maidservants standing next to her were not so lucky.
A large bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs, together with the red sauce, was poured on them.
The maidservant beside her was a little luckier. Only her cuff was stained with the dishes. The other maidservant, who was tugging at the palace maid’s sleeve, was not so lucky. The large bowl of pork ribs fell on her chest. The juice was dripping down, mixed with the strong smell of vinegar, which made her smell sour.
It was extremely unpleasant to smell!
“You, you dare to splash the dish on me?” The maidservant, who was covered with the dish, suddenly got angry. She picked up the tray and threw it hard at the palace maid, along with the remaining sauce.
Looking at the huge bowl coming at her, the palace maid only had time to lean back. Unexpectedly, the slip of her foot made her lose her footing. She fell to the ground with a plop. There was the sauce that had just fallen on the ground and it stained her whole body.
Then the bowl hit the door frame with a crash. Even the ajar door was smashed half open. The people outside saw the person sitting inside. The Sixth Princess was picking up her veil. Halfway through, she suddenly heard the sound at the door. She turned her head subconsciously. Her eyes were beautiful, but now only one was visible, and it held a vicious and sinister look in it.
The other one was wrapped in thick gauze.
Hearing the voice, she hurriedly lifted the veil in her hands and put it back on her face. Across the veil, the two palace maids still felt a chill from the heart.
The Sixth Princess’s face and eye were injured. What she hated the most was others seeing her face. Even in the palace, there was only one person who applied medicine to her wound. If others accidentally saw her current appearance, they would die. The palace maid was thrown into the Flower Hall yesterday because she accidentally saw the Sixth Princess applying medicine to the wound.
The two palace maids only felt cold all over and then began to tremble.
“Your… please spare my life, Miss!” The other palace maid didn’t have time to argue with the two maidservants as she couldn’t stand any longer. She knelt down, and pleaded with the Sixth Princess.
The two maidservants of King Ning’s Manor were standing beside the two palace maids, so they also saw what the two palace maids had seen. They curiously looked inside and saw the Sixth Princess’s face wrapped in thick bandages. Although they didn’t see her face clearly, they could clearly tell that she was not a beautiful person.
A lady had her eye hurt!
From the way she looked, she was badly hurt. There was a faint trace of blood on her snow-white bandage. The two maidservants were instantly delighted.
“Oh, look, like master, like servants. These two maidservants took our dish rudely. Your mistress becomes like this because she had fought for a man, hadn’t she? Well, since she has such an appearance, no one dares to marry her. She must fail in the fight. If I were a man, I wouldn’t want such a ferocious woman. Look at her face, it’s disgusting!”
This dish was originally theirs. The two maidservants robbed them of their food and ended up spilling sauce all over them. The two maidservants of King Ning’s Manor did not want to suffer losses, so they did not want to stop. They put their hands on their hips, pointed at the Sixth Princess and laughed at her loudly.
There was so much noise on their side that someone had already heard it. They came over to have a look. Although some people did not see the specific situation in the private room clearly, they were curious about who was sitting inside when they saw the two palace maids’ frightened look and how the two maidservants scolded arrogantly.
Some people craned their heads and looked inside.
Fighting for a man? The Sixth Princess was so angry that she was trembling. She grabbed the teacup on the table and was about to throw it out. Her eye and face were hurt just because of You Yuecheng.
“Why don’t you say anything? It seems that I’m right. Miss, let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t come out to scare him with your appearance. I don’t know what the person you like looks like. But if he sees you like that, he would rather not be born. He’ll be scared and run away!”
The maidservant wiped the sauce on her body with a handkerchief in disgust and continued to ridicule the Sixth Princess.
Her heart ached when she saw that her clothes made of satin were ruined just like that. Her words became more and more unpleasant to listen to. She glanced sideways at the Sixth Princess with disdain on her face, as if the Sixth Princess was a stinky bug in the ditch, which was hated by everyone.
The Sixth Princess had never been bullied or scolded like this. Furthermore, these people were the servants she despised the most. When she looked at those who were curiously looking inside, she could no longer control the anger in her heart. She grabbed the teacup in her hand and threw it outside. She was a noble princess and had the noble royal blood in her veins. When had she been scolded to such an extent?
Nanny Qing also heard the noise outside. The quarreling sounds rose and fell. It was obviously her two maidservants. She could not help feeling a little unhappy. She had been keeping a low profile when she went out of the manor. She had met someone secretly and asked about the situation. How could she want to let others know?
She was already unhappy when she heard that her maidservants were arguing with others. Then she was even more displeased as no one had come in to report to her even though the argument outside had last for a while.
After waiting for a while, she couldn’t wait any longer, so she opened the door and came out to see what was going on outside.
As soon as she opened the door, she was shocked when she saw the two maidservants in a sorry state. Looking at so many people around, she frowned. She was a steady person, so of course, she would not quarrel with others. Besides, there were so many people here, and it was not suitable for her to say anything more. No matter what happened, Nanny Qing only wanted to keep a low profile.
She took two steps forward and wanted the two maidservants to shut up!
“What happened? Shut up!” she shouted to stop them.
However, before she could finish her words, she saw that the two maidservants in front of her widened their eyes in shock and looked behind her. What was behind her that startled them? Nanny Qing did not figure it out. When she was about to speak again, suddenly, something hit her hard on the back. Then, a burst of pain rushed to her head. Even a calm person like Nanny Qing could not help crying out in pain.
Nanny Qing could no longer stand up and fell forward. At this time, the two maidservants had found that something was wrong and scrambled to hold her.
“What… what’s going on?” Nanny Qing was so painful that she couldn’t even speak clearly. She just felt that her back seemed to be burned, and she couldn’t even stand up because of the pain.
“Nanny, that ugly b*tch smashed you with a cup. There was still hot water inside. Nanny, your back has been burned.” A maidservant cleverly turned to her back and immediately screamed.
As soon as she saw the steaming back, she knew that Nanny Qing was seriously injured.
Nanny Qing was in so much pain that she could not even speak. She had followed the Empress Dowager into the palace since she was a child. It had always been smooth-sailing and the Empress Dowager valued her. King Ning treated her even better when she came to his manor later. She had never suffered such pain before. She only felt pain all over her body and could not even lift her head. She felt so weak that she was about to faint.
“Don’t… don’t quarrel…” Her intention was to ask people not to quarrel to prevent them from making any big trouble. But the problem was that she couldn’t even speak clearly now. The two maidservants were also a little stunned this time. When Nanny Qing returned to the manor in such a state, King Ning couldn’t spare them. But now, Nanny Qing couldn’t speak, and no one dealt with it. What should they do?
“What’s going on here?” Another voice came in, and the onlookers were pushed away.
When the crowd heard that someone was coming, they all thought that the main person had appeared. The crowd backed away on their own to see the person curiously. Then they saw a delicate and beautiful woman standing behind them with a maidservant. The woman frowned and looked at everything in front of her in astonishment.
