Mrs. Li, who was also in her thirties, walked in wearing a gorgeous and extravagant palace dress, swaying her waist.
As soon as she came in, she smiled coquettishly and said, "This is the first time the queen has asked me to come to the queen's palace. It is indeed much bigger than my palace. It must be very comfortable to live here."
After she finished speaking, she sat down directly.
She looked around with wantonness in her eyes, and she almost wanted to move here written on her face.
"At that night at the palace banquet, Madam Li also said that the queen was rude. I think Madam Li is the one who is rude, right?" Cheng Wanwan raised her eyes with sarcasm in her voice, "In my country of Dayu, the concubine will meet you. When you come to the mother of a country, you must bow to her with great courtesy, and you will not be allowed to sit down until she is given a seat by the queen. Are these etiquettes not found in Xirong?"
Mrs. Li's face suddenly turned cold: "You, a person from the Great Universe, dare to find fault with me. Who do you think you are?"
Cheng Wanwan smiled: "I am a distinguished guest invited by your King of Xirong, and I am also an old friend of the queen from the same hometown. In our country of Dayu, my status as a second-class lady is not much lower than that of the palace concubine. What does Lady Li think of me?" ?”
Her smile was provocative.
Mrs. Li was indeed irritated.
Her family was powerful, and she gave birth to children one after another after marrying the king. Her status was extremely stable, and no one had ever dared to be so presumptuous with her.
Isn't she just a peasant woman who got an official position by farming? She hasn't even washed the mud off her legs, and yet she dares to pick on her etiquette. Who gave her the courage?
Mrs. Li stood up suddenly, raised her hand and slapped him.
"stop."
As Princess Taiping spoke, she raised her hand and held Madam Li's wrist.
Over the years, she often held her daughter outside to bask in the sun alone, and her strength had long been developed. Mrs. Li was naturally no match.
"Is the queen going to protect her?" Madam Li took out her hand and gritted her teeth, "What if I have to teach this peasant woman who doesn't know the heights of the world a lesson?"
Princess Taiping stood in front of Cheng Wanwan and said in a calm voice: "As long as I am here, Mrs. Li will not be rude."
"Okay, very good." Mrs. Li smiled, "The queen shouldn't think that Wang You is asking for this Mrs. Sui, even if she has the support of her mother-in-law, I am not afraid of you as a princess, let alone this mere peasant woman, we We’ll see.”
She flicked her sleeves, turned around and left.
Princess Taiping looked at the extremely calm Cheng Wanwan and said slowly: "She has always been ruthless. If you get away with it, I can't save you."
Cheng Wanwan returned to the small courtyard with Lan Yingyun's seeds. By this time, the sky was getting dark.
Zhao Sanniu and Ruan Mingzhu had just come back. They were covered in mud. They went to the bathroom to take a bath immediately after they came back.
Not long after, someone from the palace brought dinner.
Compared with the meals in the queen's palace, what they ate was naturally much shabby, but people who had worked all day would not dislike this and immediately sat down to eat.
"I've eaten, please eat more." Cheng Wanwan picked up the food for the two children, "If nothing else, something should happen tonight. Remember what I told you before."
Ruan Mingzhu's eyes suddenly lit up. She was caught here, farmed and worked every day, and monitored by so many people. She was really fed up, and she couldn't wait to leave...
Zhao Sanniu made a silent gesture: "You will have the strength to do business only when you are full. Eat quickly."
Just after the meal was finished, before the maid had time to clean up the mess, the guard's voice came from the courtyard door and saluted: "I've seen Mrs. Li."
The three of them looked at each other and immediately stood up to greet them.
"Oh, it's really aggrieved for the dignified Mrs. Erpin Sui to live in such a small courtyard." Mrs. Li walked in with a large group of people, with a joking smile on her lips, "Why don't I tell the king and let Sui Madam, how about moving to Haitang Palace?"
Cheng Wanwan was about to speak.
Mrs. Li suddenly waved her sleeves and swept all the tea cups on the table to the ground, making a crackling sound.
Her face became fierce and she said word by word: "Mrs. Sui, don't you really think that you are so great? Don't you really think that I will give you face?" During the day, the queen was protecting her, so she didn't spend too much time with you. Don't worry, if you go to me to apologize afterwards, this matter will be over. Who makes you think so highly of yourself? You are simply looking for death!"
Zhao Sanniu immediately rushed to Cheng Wanwan: "What are you going to do to my mother?!"
He spoke Dayu Mandarin, which Mrs. Li could not understand, but it did not prevent her from knowing their relationship.
She smiled softly: "At present, the king still values you as a peasant woman. It's really difficult to explain to the king if he attacks you. Then the mother's debt must be paid by the son. Come on!"
She brought eight guards. Kong Wu was strong and stepped forward to hold Zhao Sanniu's shoulders.
Cheng Wanwan's expression changed: "I am a guest invited by the King of Xirong. If Mrs. Li does something to my son, I will definitely ask the King of Xirong for an explanation."
"Ha! Then let's see if the king is on my side, or helping you as an outsider! Take action!"
After Mrs. Li gave an order, the guard raised his hand and slapped Zhao Sanniu in the face.
Ruan Mingzhu picked up the stool as a weapon and rushed over, fighting with the guards. Zhao Sanniu was not to be outdone, and the two of them fought against eight guards.
"You've rebelled!" Mrs. Li couldn't believe it. "You dare to use force in the palace of Xirong. You don't even care about us Xirong. Anyone who comes, come to me!"
She screamed angrily, and a dozen guards patrolling the edge of the courtyard heard the sound and rushed in. It was easy for more than twenty people to deal with Zhao Sanniu and Ruan Mingzhu.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhao Sanniu and Ruan Mingzhu were kneeling on the ground covered in blood.
"Mrs. Sui's son is very skilled, and this guard is also quite capable." Madam Li stepped on Zhao Sanniu's back with one foot, and stepped on the back of Ruan Mingzhu's hand with the other foot. "Hold them both down, and reward each other." Fifty big boards, let’s see if their bones are stronger or my board is stronger!”
"yes!"
The guards came over with thick wooden boards and began to torture one on the left and the other on the right.
Cheng Wanwan's face was full of panic: "Mrs. Li, I was wrong. Please let my son go. I will let him kowtow to you and apologize."
"It's too late to apologize now." Mrs. Li raised her chin arrogantly, "You should be glad that I didn't kill them both."
"Bah bang bang!"
The sound of hitting the board sounded in the room, letting Mrs. Li's inner anger vent a lot.
When the score reached 30, Zhao Sanniu vomited out a mouthful of blood and fainted. Immediately afterwards, Ruan Mingzhu also fainted.
"Hey, I really can't help but beat you." Mrs. Li shook her head regretfully, "That's it, let's forget the twenty pieces left. How about it? Am I very tolerant and generous?"
Cheng Wanwan lowered his head, as if he dared to be angry but dared not speak: "Mrs. Xie Li, please be merciful."
Madam Li stretched out her hand, patted Cheng Wanwan's face, and said with a hooked lips: "Remember, I am the mistress of Xirong Kingdom. Instead of trying to please the queen, you might as well spend your time on me. I can keep you rich and honorable." worry."
After that, she laughed and left.
Cheng Wanwan's expression suddenly changed. She walked to the door and saw the two serving girls shivering under the eaves. She reached out and closed the door.
The moment the door closed, Zhao Sanniu and Ruan Mingzhu got up from the ground.
The two of them took out a thick pad from their lower backs. They were protected by this thing just now, so they didn't really faint.
However, in the previous fight between the two sides, those injuries were real injuries on the body, and the corners of the mouth throbbed whenever he spoke.
Cheng Wanwan said worriedly: "Can you still do it?"
"Of course!" Ruan Mingzhu spoke quickly, "Have the arrangements been made with Princess Taiping?"
Cheng Wanwan nodded.
She walked into the inner room and took out two bags: "Here are silver and dry food. Buy horses immediately after you leave the city and go all the way north... These are the weapons I have prepared for you. These are earth bombs. You can bite them off in a critical moment." Throw this fuse out... This is a smoke bomb. Throw one when you are surrounded and you can escape quickly..."
She had said these things once before, and she reminded her again this time, and Zhao Sanniu remembered them firmly.
He tied the baggage to his body and said solemnly: "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely bring reinforcements to rescue you. Ruan Cheng, let's go!"
Ruan Mingzhu bent down and clasped his fists, and the two left the back door of the courtyard.
