“Sending money? What money?” Xie Zhen was a little confused. He understood the meaning of the words, but why was it so difficult to understand when they were put together?
“These are not important anymore, but your disciple seems to have suffered a lot of shock. Go and comfort him. I don’t really understand it, but as men, you should understand his feelings more and have more to talk about.” After Ah Yu placed aside the ancient book in her hand, she left the courtyard and turned to the small room on the other side.
Xie Zhen hurriedly said to his colleagues, who were also in a daze, “Thank you for coming to help. Since there’s nothing for the time being, I’ll have to trouble everyone to go back first and thank you here.”
“Thank you, Commander.”
Xie Zhen waved his hand. “Hey, you’re wrong. I’m not the commander now, I’m just a minister. That girl everyone saw just now is our new commander. However, it’s really not convenient for me to introduce everyone to her today. Let’s meet again in the future.”
“Sure, sure.” Everyone left with 30% curiosity, 20% confusion, and 50% ease.
Actually, on the way here, they also regretted it a little. If they really went against that princess, they would be afraid of being trampled on in the future. Fortunately, everything had already been settled when they came over. Not only could they obtain a favor, but they could also avoid trouble. Why not?
However, after coming, they had a new question. Although the Astrology Divination Bureau was an inconspicuous small place, it was actually able to replace the commander with a little girl. Clearly, the power behind her could not be underestimated.
In the future, they would have to reconsider the Astrology Divination Bureau.
At this moment, Ah Yu was in the small room looking at Liu Fang, who was lying on the bed. Tang Yuan was applying medicine for her. All Yu had prepared this herself. It was naturally filled with Myriad Spirit Water. It was not much, but it was enough to reduce the swelling and pain.’
“Big Sister Liu Fang, don’t be so stupid next time. If there’s someone you can’t match up to, endure it first and find an opportunity to get someone to call me. Don’t suffer for nothing.” All Yu’s heart really ached for her. She was beaten up to this state without any explanation. How horrible.
However, Liu Fang said, “Commander, it’s fine. This servant isn’t hurt. I’ll recover after recuperating for two to three days. As servants, our bodies aren’t that delicate. Although I didn’t get beaten up often in the past, it’s not like I haven’t been beaten up before. I know how to angle my head so that it looks serious, but it doesn’t hurt so much.”
Tang Yuan said from the side, “This is your stubborn personality. Since you can place your intelligence on how to not feel pain from being beaten up, why don’t you think about how to not be beaten up? For example, you can become a high ranking palace maid. This way, when someone wants to beat you up, they have to consider the power of your master. When your status increases, you won’t be beaten up as often.”
There was a rule in Tang Yuan’s heart regarding survival in the Imperial City. She would try her best not to offend anyone, but she could not suffer a disadvantage, especially not her master.
As a good subordinate, not only did she have to deal with what her master had instructed her to do, but she also had to make sure that her master did not need to worry about her.
Liu Fang looked like she had been taught a lesson. “I understand. After I recover, I’ll work hard to take the assessment and strive to be promoted to a second-grade palace maid as soon as possible!”
Second-grade palace maids were the number one people below personal palace maids. Personal palace maids usually followed their masters and might not be known by the other palaces, but second-grade palace maids would often have to move around and so held real power. It was easier for the other palaces to know about them. They also represented someone powerful and would basically not be beaten up.
“What rank are you at now?”
“Fifth grade.”
“…” That was really amazing.
Tang Yuan patted her shoulder. “Then, work hard.”
On the other side, Xie Zhen was dumbfounded when he learned about Xie Guixin’s encounter from Auntie Fatty.
His disciple was already 20 years old. How old was the princess?
How, how…
“Master, can you not make your disdainful expression so obvious?” Xie Guixin felt very hurt. “I’m already humiliated enough.”
Xie Zhen retracted his expression and hurriedly said, “Ah, you’re mistaken. I’m feeling sorry for you, disciple. If you really followed the princess, the princess will grow up in a few years, and you’ll be old and sickly. That’s not what I meant. Don’t glare at me. How about this? I still suggest that you get married to your fiancee as soon as possible. You’ve already delayed the marriage for three years. It’s time to get married, lest trouble arises. When the time comes, if someone else comes for you again, there might not be anyone to protect you.”
Thinking of the fiancee his family had found for him, Xie Guixin felt hopeless. He could not escape this fate..
