After the divorce, the queen mother was pampered by powerful ministers

Chapter 141 Disfigurement ([-])

"Clatter——" the torrential rain poured down like a pour.

Wang Miaoyan just walked outside Shen Mengzhi's palace with a pot of boiling oil.

The new maid, Pin Ting, followed her with freshly sliced ​​hibiscus fish, and another court lady brought sweet and sour crispy tofu, and three eunuchs held umbrellas for them respectively.

But the oil-paper umbrella was not big enough, and it could barely cover the vegetables, but not the rain for the maids. Soon, the clothes that were not covered were soaked.

In the main hall of Luoxia Palace, the little eunuch who came in was bowed and waited aside, his eyes seemed anxious, listening to the sound of rain outside the door, his face was full of worry.

On the other hand, Shen Mengzhi was doing her makeup in the mirror without rushing.

Touching her cheeks lightly with her fingers, her red lips slightly raised, she said triumphantly, "Look at my fragile skin, the box of Xiaoxiangge's new shark ointment that His Royal Highness the Princess gave me is really a good thing."

In the past, how could I afford a thousand taels of shark ointment?The most expensive set of clothes she was wearing was only a hundred taels, and it was the clothes that her mother had strictly ordered to wear on important occasions.

"Master, your skin is so many times better than before, it's shiny and shiny. If your Majesty touches it, you will definitely love it."

Who knows?Xi Lu, who used to envy Second Miss's side, will have a bright future with Second Miss.

At that time, in the Shen residence, I was the unluckiest one, and was assigned to Miss Fourth.She is a concubine whose aunt died. She has no status in Shen's residence, and she is not liked by the old lady.

Unexpectedly, after entering the palace, the fourth lady would have such a fortune, so her status would also improve a lot. When she walked in the palace, the people lining up behind her would try to fawn on her.

The personal servant girl who was used to being flattered and flattered also became smug and carried away with complacency.

She thought to herself: Opportunities are everywhere for women in this palace.Maybe one day, His Majesty will accidentally take a fancy to me?
Look at the palace maid outside the palace waiting for the rain with hot oil. Before entering the palace, she was the daughter of the delicate Chen Guogong.

Unexpectedly, now she has become a servant girl in a downturn.

She deserved to be taught a lesson by the Fourth Miss. Who made her mess up in front of the Fourth Miss?

Thinking of this, she felt that she had to say something, "Master, that Wang Miaoyan's skin is tender, he looks like a vixen."

"Although she is only a maid in charge of the imperial dining room now, if she seduces His Majesty one day, she turns around one day. If she holds a grudge, she might seek revenge from you, the master."

The reminder from the personal servant girl made Shen Mengzhi vigilant. Although Wang Miaoyan's beauty was not as good as her own, flowers were different after all. If His Majesty really fell in love with her, she had Chen Guogong's mansion behind her, so he might not be able to defeat her.

It's better to act first, cut off her back, and said with a curled lips: "Hmph, I also feel disgusted when I see her face."

"But, how can we ruin her vixen's face?"

The close servant girl had an idea, "Master, you forgot that you asked her to bring a pot of oil yourself."

"It's raining, and the ground is wet. If she accidentally slips, the hot oil will splash on her face, disfiguring her face..."

"Then I can't blame you, the master, but her own carelessness. Even if the Chen Guogong government wants to investigate, it can't be blamed on you, the master."

"Besides, you are His Majesty's most beloved beauty now, and you are backed by His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Even the Duke Chen's mansion would not dare to trouble your master."

A satisfied smile appeared on Shen Mengzhi's face, "That's right, she can't blame others for being careless herself."

"Then, let her carry the hot oil and continue to wait outside."

"Me, apply the shark ointment again and take a nap."

The personal servant girl opened the box of shark cream and applied it to the bronze mirror.

Shen Mengyue, who lived in the side hall, could just see Wang Miaoyan, who was holding a basin and whose clothes were soaked in the rain, through the window.

Seeing that the little eunuch who went in to pass the message has been in the main hall for a long time, why hasn't he come out yet?
After thinking about it, he ordered the maids and eunuchs around him to go out to hold umbrellas for the maids in the rain, while he walked towards the main hall.

Shen Mengzhi's personal servant girl strode out with her head held high, her eyes full of embarrassment, "Master has just applied the merman ointment given by His Royal Highness the Princess, and I can't eat now, otherwise the merman ointment given by Her Royal Highness will be wasted."

The master has never given Fifth Young Lady a good face on weekdays, and he has followed suit, and Shen Mengzhi's maids and servants have not taken Shen Mengyue seriously.

"Since my sister can't eat for the time being, and it's raining heavily outside, it's better to let them go to the corridor to hide from the rain first."

"Besides, if the dishes are soaked in rain, they will lose their deliciousness and affect the taste." Shen Mengyue said nicely without being angry or annoyed.

Naturally, she did not dare to disobey Shen Mengzhi. She was used to being bullied by Shen Mengzhi on weekdays, and she had long been afraid of Shen Mengzhi.

"Since Shen Cairen loves them so much, I will listen to you and let them go into the corridor to hide from the rain." The personal maid turned around arrogantly and went in again.

Shen Mengyue seemed to have received great grace, and quickly waved her hands to send someone to spread the word.

The personal servant girl respectfully walked to the soft couch by the window, on which was lying Shen Mengzhi who was covered with shark ointment, from her angle, she could just see Wang Miaoyan's desolation in the rain.

My heart is dark.

"You are bold, without my permission, you actually agreed with Wang Miaoyan to go into the corridor to hide from the rain!" Shen Mengzhi reprimanded coldly.

"Master, just exposing her to the rain won't necessarily make her fall."

"If she is allowed to enter the corridor to hide from the rain, the servant will have a way to make her fall, and she can also put the blame on the side hall."

Shen Mengzhi raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at her strangely, "Little Jane, I never thought you would have such a brain."

Xiao Jian had a flattering face, "It's all because of the master's good training."

Shen Mengyue returned from the main hall to the side hall and had to pass through the corridor. When she was about to leave, Xiao Jian brought a string of pearls, "Shen Cairen, these are the East Sea pearls that His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess just gave to Shen Meiren. There are two strings. Sisters and family, I will also give you a bunch."

"I ordered my servant to put it on for you." Before Shen Mengyue could react, Xiao Jian had already hung the pearl around her neck.

"So, thank you, sister." Shen Mengyue thought, it was the fourth sister deliberately showing off how much she was liked by His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess in front of her.

No more words, turned around and returned to the side hall.

Wang Miaoyan and others got permission to enter the corridor cautiously.

Before Shen Mengyue took a few steps, the pearl necklace around her neck suddenly broke and rolled to the ground.

Wang Miaoyan held the hot oil carefully, walking on thin ice with every step, but the little maid who was carrying the hibiscus fish fillet behind her accidentally stepped on a pearl that fell to the ground, lost her balance and rushed towards Wang Miaoyan.

Wang Miaoyan's shoes were already soaked, the soles of her feet slipped, and the hot basin in her hand splashed towards Shen Mengyue who was walking towards her.

Shen Mengyue paled in shock, standing where she was, not knowing what to do.

This pot of hot oil splashed on Shen Mengyue, so she had to take off a layer of skin?

When Wang Miaoyan was in the nick of time, he hit the basin with his hand, changed the direction of the oil splash, and let most of the hot oil splash on himself.
