Chapter 521 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

The sound of footsteps was approaching, very slight, with a little hesitation in the steps.

With his back turned, Cheng Che said calmly, "Go out."

The footsteps stopped suddenly, neither stepped forward nor went away.

"Go out, I'm not used to being waited upon." Cheng Che vaguely guessed what the visitor was thinking, thinking about the difficult life of palace people, he left some leeway.

However, he is different from the former prince, his gentle and gentle demeanor has touched the heartstrings of many court ladies.

And this faint refusal fell into the ears of the visitor, so there was so much hope.

"Your Highness—" the woman's voice was soft and gentle, trembling timidly.

Cheng Che had already heard who it was, with his back turned to the woman, the corners of his lips tightened: "Wanxiu, what are you doing here? I remember, this is not within your scope of work."

Her eyes fell on the smooth and straight back of the man in the bath, Wanxiu stepped forward boldly, and reached out to caress his shoulder: "Your Highness, let this servant serve you."

The former prince was abolished, the new prince entered the East Palace, and all the palace people in the East Palace were replaced by newcomers.

Wanxiu was transferred from the Empress Dowager, so she is different from others, she is the No.1 among the female officials, after running these days, she is naturally well-informed.

The prince didn't share the same room with the princess for several days, but took a cold bath. It can be seen that he had an unhappiness with the princess. Since there were no other concubines in the East Palace, he could only relieve it in this way.

She must seize such an opportunity.

She never dreamed of flying on a branch and turning into a phoenix, but the man who firmly attracted all her attention happened to be the prince.

Before Wanxiu's fingertips touched Cheng Che's shoulder, he turned around abruptly, patting the water in the bath with his palm.

The cold water formed a jet of water, hitting Wanxiu's face directly.

Wanxiu covered her face and subconsciously screamed.

Taking advantage of this time, Cheng Che jumped up from the bath, picked up the clothes that were on the side and put them on his body.

The maidservants outside rushed in when they heard the movement, and saw Wanxiu wearing a light green pleated skirt on her lower body, her upper body coat was taken off, and only a goose yellow bellyband was on, revealing a large snowy back.

It's a pity that in such a beautiful scenery, the cool-looking beauties covered their faces and screamed, but their highness the crown prince didn't look sideways, and tied his clothes leisurely.

"His Royal Highness—" a servant girl boldly shouted.

Cheng Che's face darkened, and he said calmly: "The palace man in charge of the bathhouse and the female official Wanxiu went to the Crown Princess to receive the punishment."

Speaking of this, he paused, and changed his words: "The female official Wanxiu doesn't need to go to the Crown Princess, just follow me."

Wanxiu came out of the Compassionate Peace Palace, Wei Wei is still a bride, it doesn't matter whether the punishment is light or severe, it's better not to cause trouble for her.

Cheng Che walked forward without saying a word, while Wanxiu put on her clothes indiscriminately and followed step by step, feeling uneasy in her heart.

When she realized that Cheng Che was going in the direction of the Compassionate Ning Palace, her expression changed, and she began to regret it.

"Your Highness—" Wanxiu stopped, and looked at the man close at hand with pleading eyes.

He is so good, just like the bright moon in the sky, his whole body exudes brilliance, gentle and amiable.

However, when the moonlight cooled down, it was obviously still the same, but it made people feel chills.

Cheng Che turned around.

Wanxiu knelt down with a plop, and touched her head to the ground: "His Royal Highness, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare again. I beg you not to take this servant to the Palace of Compassion. The servant is willing to punish you and the Crown Princess! "

She understood that the Crown Princess would not punish her too severely because she cared about the Empress Dowager's face.

Cheng Che looked on coldly, without any sympathy.

For the first woman who came up, he had to make an example to the monkeys to deter those court ladies who were about to move.

The time he and Wei Wei can be together is too short, and he doesn't want to waste a single bit on these meaningless things.Only by letting them see the consequences of not obeying the rules can they be clean in the future.

"If you can't walk, I will order someone to carry you over."

Looking at Cheng Che's back, Wanxiu was no longer lucky.

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress Dowager's old face was quite disgraceful, and she ordered: "Come here, send Wanxiu to the clothing bureau."

Wanxiu's pretty face was bloodless, and she pleaded: "Queen Mother, this servant is wrong, this servant didn't mean it, but couldn't help it—"

The Empress Dowager took a tentative look at Cheng Che, seeing his expressionless face, she waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and drag it on!"

Until Wanxiu disappeared from the gate of the palace, and she could still hear her cries of grievance, all of a sudden, the palace lady who heard it was in danger.

The Empress Dowager glanced at the maids slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Remember, Wanxiu will end up not following the rules. From now on, I will put away all those thoughts that I shouldn't have!"

"Yes!"

The queen mother took a sip of the tea that Cheng Che handed over, and sighed, "Jing'er, it's because the Ai family didn't train people well. You go back and tell the princess that you don't have to worry about anything like this in the future. If you deal with it, you will deal with it. There can no longer be a mess in this palace."

"The grandson will tell the princess." Cheng Che smiled lightly, without any disturbance in his expression.

"Then you should go back earlier, don't make the Crown Princess wait too long. You are newlyweds, it's not good for you to be left out in the cold."

"There is one more thing my grandson wants to say to the imperial grandmother."

"what's up?"

Cheng Che smiled: "Grandson thinks, except for those who serve the princess, if we replace all the maids in the East Palace with servants, there will be less trouble in the future."

The queen mother's face changed slightly when she heard that, and she was in a bad mood.

Change to a servant?What does grandson want to do?
I don't think about it!

"Ahem, I'm afraid this won't work. There has never been such a rule." The Queen Mother looked serious, and her tone was uncompromising.

Cheng Che was startled for a moment, looked at the Queen Mother's expression, and suddenly understood the reason for the Queen Mother's abnormality.

Thinking of what the queen mother was worried about, he almost laughed, but he didn't intend to expose such a misunderstanding, and it might be able to block many things for him and Wei Wei in the future.

Cheng Che got up: "Since it's against the rules, let's forget about it. My grandson will go back now, and only the Crown Princess will be heard about Wanxiu."

The queen mother secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, the prince is still different from the princess.

The old queen secretly decided to treat the princess better in the future.

The princess' bedroom is still brightly lit.

Cheng Che put down the medical book, listened to the apology from the maid in charge of the bathhouse, and asked, "Where is the prince?"

The palace maid didn't dare to answer for a while, met Cheng Wei's majestic gaze, her heart tightened, and she said: "The crown prince took Wanxiu away."

"Okay, I understand, go and receive the punishment yourself according to the usual practice." Cheng Wei didn't lift his eyelids.

When the maid retreated, Huamei comforted her and said, "Prince Princess, the Crown Prince is definitely not that kind of person, so don't take it to heart."

Cheng Wei smiled: "Who is the prince, don't I know? Alright, you all should leave too. I have to read for a while, I don't want to be disturbed."

When Cheng Che walked in, it was the warm scene of the newlywed wife leaning against the screen and reading a book quietly.

He smiled and walked over.

PS: There will be another update, ask for a monthly pass.
