Chapter 107: The Princess Summons
ps: This paragraph about Wu Zetian in the Night Secluded Court is completely added by the hat himself, in history, Wu Zetian should have been snubbed behind the palace, but he did not enter a place like the Night Secluded Court. As for why we distort history...... Well, it's all bent anyway, and it's not bad for this one.......
What does it feel like to wash forty pots of clothes? People who have not experienced it simply cannot imagine this pain.
In those days, there was no washing machine, and no one kindly built a laundry board for you to wash standing up, and if you wanted to wash clothes, you had to kneel on the ground and squat alive. What's more, even if there is a laundry version, you can't stand for that long without getting tired.
The most important thing is that washing clothes requires water, and there is no such high-tech as tap water these days, so if you want to use water, you have to go to the well to fetch water.
It's okay to wash a basin or even four or five basins of clothes, although Wu Zetian is thin, but in the past two years, she is no longer the pampered martial artist before, and she can do dirty work.
But a woman is a woman, a thin woman like Wu Zetian can't eat enough on weekdays, and her natural strength and wine are relatively small. At first, I was able to go to the well to fetch water and do laundry. But after washing ten basins of clothes, the movements of her hands became slower and slower, and it felt like her hands were filled with lead, and it was difficult to lift them, let alone fetch water.
What's more, she hasn't eaten a drop of water during this time, and she has already overloaded her body. However, she did not admit defeat because of this, nor did she ask for help, but continued to grit her teeth, mechanically, and fetch water and laundry one after another.
Three hours had passed, but even half of the clothes had not been washed. And Wu Zetian's body is almost on the verge of overdraft, and he is staggering when he walks, and he may fall at any time.
Finally, after laboriously pulling up a bucket of water from the well, and just as she was about to lift it, she felt dizzy in her head, and her body could no longer be strengthened, uncontrollable, and fell to the ground.
However, her fall did not cause other people to worry, originally Wu Zetian was taken care of, and did a lot of less work, and these jobs were assigned to other people, so they were a little resentful of Wu Zetian in their hearts, and now seeing her punished, most of them had the idea of relieving their hatred, not only did they not have any sympathy, but some even chuckled and gloated.
"Humph! How? I've only washed twenty pots, and I can't stand it? Ruan Gong walked up to Wu Zetian arrogantly, picked up the bucket, there was still a little water in it, and unceremoniously poured it directly on Wu Zetian's head.
Wu Zetian was woken up by the water, turned around, and saw Ruan Gong standing in front of her, subconsciously shrinking his body.
Ruan Gong saw Wu Zetian wake up, laughed sharply twice, threw away the bucket in his hand, pointed to a large piece of water in front of him, and said: "Martial arts talent, the miscellaneous family remembers the previous hypocrisy, give you a chance, as long as you kneel on the ground and kowtow to me honestly three times, and admit your mistakes, the miscellaneous family will let you go, how about it?" ”
She used to be the daughter of the prince of the country and the emperor, but now she wants to kowtow to a little eunuch to admit her mistakes? How can ordinary people endure such humiliation?
"Thank you Ruan Gong for your love, but I can finish washing these clothes, so I won't kowtow to Ruan Gong." Wu Zetian slowly supported himself to get up from the ground.
Ruan Gong was furious when he heard this, kicked Wu Zetian, kicked her to the ground, and scolded angrily: "I don't know what to do!" The miscellaneous family gave you a chance, but you were stubborn with the miscellaneous family? Okay, you're tough! Hehe! Miscellaneous family will make you hard enough! From now on, all the clothes will be washed by you! Don't even think about resting if you can't finish washing! After speaking, Ruan Gong shook his hand and left.
Wu Zetian sat on the ground, gritted his teeth, tears swirled in his eyes, but they didn't flow.
"Yo! Grandpa Ruan has such a big temper! The little woman has always heard that today is fortunate enough to see how majestic Grandpa Ruan is in the Night Court. ”
A joking voice suddenly came from the gate of the courtyard, Ruan Gong was furious, who dared to call him Ruan Gonggong in the secluded court on weekdays and nights? I just don't want to live anymore!
"Who?" Ruan Gong turned his head and saw a woman who looked like a palace maid standing at the gate of the courtyard with a smile, judging from the dress, the grade seemed to be not low, and she should be serving a concubine in the palace.
"Yo." Ruan Gong didn't smile and said, "Whose palace maid is this?" Why did you get here? Didn't you make a mistake and be sent here by a certain mother, right? ”
"Me? Sent here? The girl at the door pointed at herself and smiled dumbly, "Grandpa Ruan, you look at me, it looks like I made a mistake and was sent here?" ”
"Humph!" Grandpa Ruan snorted lightly, although he didn't like others to call him Grandpa Ruan, but the grade of the person in front of him was higher than him, and he was not good at attacking. "This palace maid, this is the Night Quiet Court, not a place where you should come, if you are not here to report, just leave quickly, don't hinder the miscellaneous family to deal with housekeeping."
"Can't you come if you're not here to report?" The girl smiled, took out a token from her waist, walked up to Grandpa Ruan, and almost shoved the token into Grandpa Ruan's nose. "Keep your eyes open and see what it is!"
Grandpa Ruan's eyes immediately widened when he saw this token, and then he knelt down with an ordinary voice and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”
This token symbolizes the identity of the royal family, and the concubines in the palace are not qualified to carry it, that is to say, the palace maid in front of him is either sent by His Majesty, or the personal maid of a certain prince and princess, no matter what kind of identity, he can't afford to provoke it.
"Yo, it looks like the eyes are okay, and I recognize this brand." The girl put away the token and said proudly: "I am Princess Linchuan's personal female official Lu Liu, the princess has an order, I want to meet a martial artist, I don't know if a martial artist can be here?" ”
Martial arts people? Wu Zetian? As soon as Ruan Gong heard Lu Liu's words, his heart suddenly jumped wildly. At this juncture, what does the princess want to see Wu Zetian do? Isn't there still a friendship between the two?
Thinking of this, Ruan Gong suddenly became uneasy. He just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Wu Zetian's voice behind him. "I'm Wu Zetian, a talented martial artist, I don't know what the princess wants to see me?"
Luliu saw Wu Zetian sitting on the ground, disheveled, and his hair was still dripping wet, and he was a little displeased, and he watched Ruan Gong, but he didn't say anything, but walked up quickly, helped Wu Zetian up from the ground, and said with a smile: "Wucai people forgot, once in front of Your Majesty, the princess and you have a few good fates, today the princess happened to be wandering by here, thinking that Wucai people seem to be here, so I specially ordered me to come to pick you up." ”
How many good fates have you had? Wu Zetian was a little confused, she didn't seem to be familiar with Princess Linchuan, if I remember correctly, the two of them hadn't even met, so how could they have a good fate......
However, Wu Zetian was a smart person, and he quickly understood the meaning of Luliu's words, and responded: "Thank you Miss Luliu, and please ask Miss Luliu to take me to see the princess." ”
The green willow led the way, and Wu Zetian followed. When passing by Ruan Gong's side, Wu Zetian paused, looked at Ruan Gong who was kneeling on the ground, and chuckled in his heart. Stride through the ......
