Tian's little cook

Chapter 1166 Kneeling Without Apologizing
There were court ladies and eunuchs standing around, and Yuan Xue couldn't help but feel annoyed when she thought that she had been dumped on the spot by Lin Zhimo just now.

"Empress, I don't know where my concubine offended you, and I asked you to teach me a lesson myself?!"

Lin Zhimo sneered, and glanced at the court lady who was still lying on the ground: "How did she offend you?"

After finishing speaking, Lin Zhimo said softly, "Get up."

When the palace lady heard that it was the queen who was coming, she raised her head tremblingly, her face was full of tears, and she looked panic-stricken.

"Get up." Lin Zhimo said again, "Don't be afraid."

Donna stepped forward to help her up, and even patted the dust off her dress.

Yuan Xue's face was even uglier, and she felt as if Donna had slapped her on the face.

It was just a lesson to a slave, and Lin Zhimo even came to intervene.

She has always dominated the emperor, and now she even interferes with her own affairs, not paying attention to her at all.

"Empress, this slave has done something wrong, and this concubine just wants to teach her a lesson." Yuan Xue explained with a wooden face.

"What did she do wrong?" Lin Zhimo asked.

"The concubine passed by just now, and she spilled water on the concubine's skirt." Yuan Xue pointed to a spot of water on the hem of the skirt, "She didn't do things seriously, so the concubine took action to teach her a lesson."

But Lin Zhimo laughed: "Concubine Yuan Shu, if you spit casually, it will be bigger than this water stain. I thought she had done something unforgivable."

"Empress, slaves must abide by the rules of slaves." Yuan Xue held back her anger, "If you do something wrong, you will be punished, and this concubine thinks that she has done nothing wrong."

"Since you mentioned the rules, why didn't you salute when you saw me?" Lin Zhimo's originally peaceful voice suddenly raised two points, "Is it because you don't understand the rules or do you think I can't control you?"

"Chen and concubine dare not."

When Yuan Xue was yelled at by her, her momentum suddenly weakened, and she immediately knelt down: "The concubine didn't react for a while, please forgive the empress."

"Concubine Yuan Shu, after all, you are from a wealthy family. You are well-educated and reasonable, and you should learn to be sympathetic to your servants. In the end, you did such a mean thing. I am really disappointed."

Lin Zhimo almost never called himself "Ben Gong", and now that he said it, Yuan Xue suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Since I am the queen, I not only take care of you, but also take care of other court ladies and eunuchs. Naturally, I can't be biased or unfair, otherwise I won't be convinced, right?"

Yuan Xue could only answer: "Yes."

"She should be punished for accidentally spilling water on you, but you have already passed the punishment, so I won't pursue it any longer. And you, Concubine Yuan Shu, have shamed the royal family with cruel methods. Apologize."

Yuan Xue raised her head in disbelief: "Empress, concubine"

She is a concubine, how can she apologize to a mere court lady, it is more uncomfortable than slapping her in the face.

The water sprinkler maid also panicked, and quickly said: "No, no need, it's the servant's fault, there is no need for Concubine Yuan Shu to apologize."

"It's up to me whether to apologize or not." Lin Zhimo glanced at her, indicating not to worry.

"Speak, Concubine Yuan Shu."

Yuan Xue's face was completely pale, and her lips trembled slightly, which was a great shame to her.

"Why, don't you want to?" Lin Zhimo smiled: "Then you can kneel here until you apologize."

"It's quite cool here, I don't mind waiting for Concubine Yuan Shu to speak."

The hatred in Yuan Xue's eyes deepened, the maid stood, but she knelt on the ground instead.
