After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 185 Chapter 185 His Negligence
"Are you waiting for me?"

Although it is an interrogative sentence, it uses an affirmative tone.

Shen Qingciyuan didn't want to hide it from him, let alone couldn't hide it.

She hadn't opened her mouth yet, but she heard Sheng Tingye's tone with a bit of helplessness: "With your temperament, how can you grit your teeth and bear it when you are bullied."

It's just about his attitude.

Sheng Tingye could see it naturally.

But he didn't feel annoyed at being calculated, instead, there was a bit of apology in his tone.

"Sorry, I was negligent before."

Shen Qingci's hand, which was about to pour tea before, was held by his wrist, and it's not right to withdraw it now, or to be taken away by him, so he could only look at him motionless.

Fortunately, Sheng Tingye quickly let go.

"Come in."

As he finished speaking, the door was opened, and Shen Qingci saw Jiang He kneeling at the door.

In Jiang He's hand was a tray, inside which were several account books, a seal, a token, and two storehouse keys.

In the courtyard behind him, a group of people kneeled in the snow.

Headed by Mrs. Zhou, followed by Qiaoyun, Jinxiu, and a few servant girls who gossip today.

Shen Qingci did not expect Sheng Tingye to use such a big battle.

She was surprised and said, "My lord?"

Sheng Tingye glanced lightly at Chunya, who was already stunned beside her.

Chunya understood Sheng Tingye's eyes, and then she realized that she hurried to the door and took the tray from Jiang He's hand.

It was so heavy that Chunya couldn't straighten her waist.

Sheng Tingye only turned his head to look at Shen Qingci: "You are the mistress of the palace, these should have been handed over to you on the wedding day."

It's just that he was negligent.

All his thoughts were on the party struggle in the court, and she occupied the rest, so he didn't have the time to think about the twists and turns of the back house.

She never thought that she would be misunderstood by the people below, and even dared to belittle her.

Thinking of this, Sheng Tingye's eyes turned cold, "As for these people, in the past two days, I saw that the Xiaoqi Camp was short of some laundry servants, and I just asked them to fill the vacancy."

Sheng Tingye's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone kneeling in the yard to hear clearly.

The voice just fell, and the wailing sounded everywhere.

Zhou's face was already pale.

Where is the laundry bureau of Xiaoqiying?
It was an existence that even the lowest and most humble servant would turn pale when talking about it.

Those who were sent there were either the female relatives who were implicated for crimes, or the place where they were punished by the master for doing something wrong.

There, in addition to facing the sweaty clothes and soaked hands of the soldiers who can't finish washing, they also have to face the harassment, molestation, and even rape of the soldiers below.

Mrs. Zhou thought that because she was an old man beside Sheng Tingye, she had been taking care of him for so many years, from the palace to the palace.

But never thought that it would end up like this.

It wasn't until Sheng Tingye gave the order that Zhou Shi realized that he was wrong.

It was her fault that she didn't position herself correctly.

Because she had been with Sheng Tingye for a long time, she relied on the old to sell the old. Because the palace had no mistress for a long time, she was in charge of the middle class in the palace, so she gradually lost herself and forgot that she was always a slave.

Not the master in this palace.

"My lord is merciful..."

Only now did Zhou finally understand how cruel the prince he had grown up with was.

She knelt down in the snow, trembling all over: "My lord is merciful... I know I was wrong..."

Not only Zhou's, but also Qiao Yun, who was kneeling behind her, was trembling like chaff.

Qiaoyun propped her hands on the ground, her nails painted with Kou Danhong were particularly glaring in the snow.

She thought of her carefully raised hands, in this icy and snowy place, in a military camp, in a place like the laundry bureau... At that time, not to mention hands, whether she can survive this bitterly cold winter Hard to say.

"My lord is merciful, this servant is wrong..."

There are also a few maids who gossip today.

For a while, there were wailing and begging for mercy in the huge courtyard.

Sheng Tingye just glanced over.

As soon as Qingyun, who was guarding the door, raised his hand, the sword around his waist was unsheathed, only a corner was exposed, and everyone was so frightened that they didn't even dare to cry for mercy.

Shen Qingci was also surprised.

She just wanted to see Sheng Tingye's attitude, but the current situation far exceeded her expectations.

Shen Qingci subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the tray presented by Chunya.

These are really heavy for her.

Shen Qing took a step back and smiled brightly: "My lord, I have never been in charge of the family, so I'm afraid I can't manage the middle class in this mansion well."

Seeing Sheng Tingye's face getting darker and darker, Shen Qingci had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "I just wanted to take stock of my dowry. Of course, it would be better if I could freely enter and leave the palace."

others……

She didn't want to hug her.

"Also ask the prince to take it back."

However, although Sheng Tingye didn't say anything, the stubbornness and undeniable firmness in his eyes at this moment made Shen Qingci's scalp tingle.

I am afraid that she will refuse again, and the next moment may "toast and not eat or drink as punishment".

Maybe, he won't even have the right to enter and leave the palace.

Shen Qingci had no choice but to take it first.

She lowered her eyes and subconsciously said: "Then... well, I will take care of the house for the prince first."

In the future, when her goal is achieved and she can retreat unscathed, she will just return it to him.

Unexpectedly, the next moment Sheng Tingye grabbed his wrist, his eyes were still cold without any emotional ups and downs.

But what he said made Shen Qingci's heart tremble.

He only listened to his correction: "It's in charge of our home."

For a moment, Shen Qingci almost thought that his ears had misheard.

But Sheng Tingye had already let go of her, turned around and asked Qingyun to take all the people in the yard down for disposal.

"My lord."

Shen Qingci saw Zhou's spread out in the snow.

She took a step forward and pointed at Mrs. Zhou: "I want to ask for favors for Nanny Zhou."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Shi who was pointed froze, and she looked at Shen Qingci with disbelieving eyes.

But Shen Qing said: "Nurse Zhou is an old man in this mansion, she and Steward Jiang have taken good care of the mansion before."

"I'm new here, so it's inevitable that I didn't think well, and I need Zhou Nanny to help me."

Hearing these words, Mother Zhou's first reaction was ridicule.

Because she also used these words to pinch Shen Qingci before.

Now that Shen Qingci said this to her, it should be her retribution.

Kneeling down in the snow, Mrs. Zhou said in great annoyance: "It was all the servant's fault before. The servant ate lard and cheated and offended the princess. The servant deserves death!"

However, Shen Qingci was not trying to care about her.

She looked at Sheng Tingye seriously: "What does your lord think?"

As soon as this remark came out, Zhou was even more surprised.

Sheng Tingye only turned his head and glanced at Zhou with warning eyes, then looked back at Shen Qingci: "Now that the housekeeping power is in your hands, you are the one to decide how to deal with the people in the house."

Hearing this, not only Zhou's, but also the maids following her all brightened.

But Shen Qingci only looked at Mrs. Zhou: "Nurse Zhou already knew she was wrong, and she will definitely work harder in the future, right?"

How can Zhou not agree.

As if she had survived a desperate situation, she knelt down to Shen Qingci with a grateful face: "I know I was wrong, and I will do my best to do errands for the princess in the future, and I will never dare to give birth to the slightest arrogance!"

Here, after Mrs. Zhou expressed her loyalty, Qiaoyun, Jinxiu and other servant girls did the same and had to admit their mistakes to Shen Qingci.

But she waved her hand, "Other people, just do as the prince said."

In the next moment, in addition to the sound of wind and snow, the huge courtyard could only hear the sound of gasping for air.

Seeing that Shen Qingci had spared Mrs. Zhou, these maids thought they had seen a glimmer of life, but they never thought that Shen Qingci was not a soft-hearted person.

Because Qing Yun, who was like a murderous god, was beside them, they didn't even dare to cry, and they were quickly taken down.

But Shen Qingci didn't even look at them.

She won't forget that they belittled her before, and even wanted to climb Sheng Tingye's bed and trample her on the bottom of her feet just because they begged for mercy.

This is their own fault.

As for Nanny Zhou, she pleaded not because she was soft-hearted.

And just as she said to Sheng Tingye just now, after all, she is a newcomer, and no one knows more about the general affairs and human relations of this palace than the old lady Zhou.

Rather than letting myself deal with it exhaustingly, it is better to stick to the same as before.

She just needs to stare at some.

For Zhou, the lesson this time is enough for her to remember.

Shen Qingci called Mrs. Zhou in, handed back the bunch of keys to Mrs. Zhou in front of Sheng Tingye, and smiled faintly: "Then I'll have to trouble Mother Zhou."

At this time, no matter how stupid the Zhou family is, it is impossible not to see how much the prince attaches importance to Shen Qingci.

She hurriedly knelt down and took the key to the warehouse with both hands.

Shen Qingci asked Chunya to put the rest of the things in the cage, only to realize that Sheng Tingye's gaze had been glued to her.

There were many people before, and she was thinking about other things, so she didn't care much.

Soon, there were only the two of them in the room, and the maids and women were all sent out, and Shen Qingci felt a little embarrassed to be stared at like this.

Without the presence of outsiders, there is no pressure to play the part of a loving couple.

Shen Qingci personally poured a cup of tea for Sheng Tingye, and said gratefully from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, my lord, today."

Not only did he vent his anger for her, but he also gained face and backed up, and even acquiesced in her treatment of Nanny Zhou.

With the fate of those servant girls today, her prestige has stood.

From now on, the servants in the palace no longer dare to show any disrespect.

Such a talkative Sheng Tingye surprised Shen Qingci.

Sheng Tingye took Shen Qingci's tea and took a sip.

The fragrance of tea is wanton, the tea is clear and slightly bitter, but there is a sweet aftertaste.

He rushed back all the way through the wind and snow, his body was a little stiff from the cold, but he was also warmed up by this sip of hot tea.

With a cold face, he tried his best to calm his mind, and said in a cold tone: "You and I are a husband and wife, this is my duty."

Standing by the side, Shen Qingci, who had already written a thank you note: "..."

Thinking of his abnormal words these past few days, Shen Qingci's heart tightened.

Master, are you getting into the drama too much?
However, there is no one else here.

She opened her lips and was about to remind her, but she heard Sheng Tingye had put down the teacup and looked at her with raised eyebrows: "Princess, it's late at night, it's time to go to bed."

The moment Shen Qingci met his pitch-black eyes, Shen Qingci's heart skipped a beat.
