Princess Mingzhu heard Jia Yuanchun's words.
She sneered and said, "It's not too much. Facing a slut who wants to be this princess' mother.
It's not excessive at all. "She looked at Jia Yuanchun's angry expression and said," You're not convinced?
You can complain to Imperial Father. See if he'll help you or protect me.
Oh, that's right, I almost forgot. Imperial Concubine Xian De rarely sees my Imperial Father every year.
This time, if it weren't for Young Mistress Xue, who hasn't entered the palace yet, you wouldn't be able to come to Songquan Palace! "
Jia Yuanchun covered the bruise on her arm, her face flushed red with anger.
Tears flickered in her eyes and her whole body trembled.
However, she couldn't say a word.
It seemed that she was still quite afraid of Princess Mingzhu.
Princess Mingzhu knocked the whip in her jade-white palm and said with a smile, "Look at how angry I made Concubine Xian De. She's about to faint.
Forget it.
I'll spare you today.
Let's go … "After saying that, she turned around and left with a group of young palace maids who were around her age.
Jia Yuanchun was left standing in the same place.
She was still trembling.
After Jia Yuanchun had stood enough and left,
Xue Baoqin walked out from behind the rockery.
She looked at her somewhat embarrassed figure at the end of the brick passageway.
Qing Wen was speechless. "Isn't that princess too powerful?
She actually dared to whip Concubine Xian De!
In the past, when Concubine Xian De came home to visit her relatives, she was so powerful. Who would have thought that in the palace, she would have such a status … "
Xiao Luo patted her chest and said, "That scared me to death. That Princess Mingzhu is so powerful. Doesn't her Imperial Mother care about her?"
Baoqin said, "Consort Xian Concubine has accompanied His Majesty for many years, but she only has this one daughter. She must be very precious.
It was no wonder that she was raised to have such a domineering and arrogant personality.
You should open your eyes. If you meet this princess, take a detour.
Otherwise, when the time comes and we suffer a loss, I'm afraid we'll have eaten for nothing. "
When Baoqin and his two servants were walking back to Qifang Courtyard, they unexpectedly bumped into Princess Mingzhu's group next to the lotus pond.
Baoqin secretly cursed his bad luck, but his expression did not change. He saluted and said, "Greetings, Princess."
Princess Mingzhu was still holding the whip in her hand. She walked in front of Baoqin and circled her. After sizing her up for a while, she said, "How did you know I was a princess?"
Baoqin said, "I heard that Princess Royal came to the Summer Palace with His Majesty this time. I saw Princess Royal's age and dress, so I boldly speculated."
Hearing this, Princess Mingzhu sneered and said, "You are quite clever." She looked deeply at Baoqin again and said, "Everyone says that the Xue Clan is good at showing off girls. Now that this princess has seen it, I know that what they say is true.
Look at your lovable appearance, you look like a snow-white Persian cat that this princess raised in the past.
When everyone saw it, they all said it was beautiful.
This princess, ah, used to love it dearly … … "
Princess Mingzhu slowly walked around Baoqin. Her small face that was as bright as the moon revealed a deep malicious smile, "After that, guess what happened to that Persian cat?"
Xue Baoqin's face had a smile that was neither servile nor overbearing. He calmly said, "I really can't guess. Princess, please tell me."
Princess Mingzhu's charming face still had a smile. She slowly said, "A beast will be a beast. It's impossible to raise it well.
Once, this princess only wanted to help it braid its hair, but it actually dared to scratch me!
Thus, I used a pair of scissors to cut off its four claws, used a spoon to dig out its eyes, and even cut open its stomach.
I originally thought that its heart would be black. Who would have thought that it would be bright red. It really disappointed this princess … … However, a half-dead cat is actually more beautiful than a living cat.
The dark red blood stained its snow-white fur. It was like plum blossoms blooming in the snow. It was extremely beautiful.
After I cut open its stomach, it wasn't completely dead yet. It was still lightly trembling. It was really interesting … … "She giggled and asked," Xue Clan, don't you think this princess's actions are very interesting? "
What a beautiful face like a flower, and what a heart like a demon!
Xiao Luo and Qing Wen, who were standing behind Baoqin, were quite frightened. Their bodies constantly trembled.
Qing Wen was still fine. She forced herself to hold on. Only her face became deathly pale.
Xiao Luo, on the other hand, had tears in his eyes. He was about to cry.
This princess was really scary!
Miss, save me … … Xiao Luo looked at his miss. Seeing her calm expression, he smiled and said, "Princess, there's actually no meaning in doing this."
"Oh?" Princess Mingzhu didn't get angry. Instead, she smiled and asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"
"What's the point of venting your anger on an ignorant animal?"
Baoqin smiled and said, "If you have the ability to vent your anger on people, that's what's called interesting!"
She casually plucked a beautiful peony that had just bloomed. She stretched out her spring onion like fingers and slowly tore off the blood red petals. She let them fall under her skirt and said, "Princess, you might not believe it, but I once dreamed of my previous life."
Her snow-white slender fingers were stained with the flower's juice. It was as if they were stained with blood.
Baoqin put her fingers to her nose and sniffed. She revealed an intoxicated expression and said, "In the dream, I was a chivalrous woman in my previous life who would definitely take revenge.
After going through untold hardships, I finally caught my enemy.
Princess, do you know what I did to him? "
Baoqin also laughed like a silver bell and said, "I dug a hole in the ground and buried him inside.
Then, I used a dagger to cut open a wound on his forehead. I poured the prepared mercury into the wound bit by bit.
Mercury is heavier than blood. So, amidst the enemy's miserable cries, the mercury slowly flowed down from the wound and permeated his entire body.
In the end, he actually broke free from his skin and ran out of the ground.
His entire body was bright red, without a single bit of skin.
Looking at a skinless person running around naked for a long time before he stopped breathing, it was really interesting … "
Just as Baoqin finished speaking, a "retch" sound was heard. It was a palace maid behind Princess Mingzhu. She bent over and vomited.
There was also another whose skirt was wet. She was so frightened that she lost control of her bladder.
Princess Mingzhu looked at the dark red flower juice on Baoqin's hand. The image of a naked person without any skin appeared in front of her eyes. Her chest also felt disgusted.
She forced herself not to lose face in front of Baoqin. She sneered and said, "Who are you trying to scare with these big words?
Don't tell me you really dare to kill someone? "
Baoqin smiled and said, "Of course I don't dare. I said earlier that it was just a dream."
"Hmph, this princess doesn't have time to pester you …" Princess Mingzhu cast a sidelong glance at Xue Baoqin. With a pale face, she left with a group of palace maids.
After a while, the faint sound of vomiting could be heard from afar.
Hearing this sound, Baoqin waved his round fan and smiled slightly.
You want to fight with me and scare me?
The amount of salt I eat is more than the amount of rice you eat!
Little girl, you're still too inexperienced!
Baoqin turned to look at his two servant girls and said, "Let's go."
Hearing this, Xiao Luo said with a bitter face, "Let's go later. Miss, I'm so scared that I can't walk."
Qing Wen also said, "Me too. I'm so scared that I can't walk steadily."
"Useless …" Baoqin sneered and stood there waiting for the two servant girls to recover.
Qing Wen said, "Miss, do you think what Princess Mingzhu said earlier was true?
Did she really kill a cat? "
"I'm afraid it's true."
Baoqin said, "From her eyes, I can see that she really did this kind of thing. I'm afraid it's not the first time."
After a pause, she showed a disgusted expression and said, "I hate people who abuse animals the most in my life. This Princess Mingzhu, I really hope that she doesn't have a good ending."
Xiao Luo said, "That princess looks like a cute little girl. How can she have such a temperament?"
Baoqin said, "You don't understand. There is a kind of person who is born with no compassion for life. When they are young, they abuse animals. When they grow up, they may kill people."
Qing Wen said, "Is there really such a person in the world?"
"Of course there is." Baoqin said, "This kind of person usually hides very well. They look no different from ordinary people.
In fact, their hearts have long been rotten … "
Not long after Baoqin and the others returned to the courtyard, a woman dressed as a palace maid asked for an audience. She respectfully said to Baoqin, "Young Master Xue, His Majesty has bestowed upon you a hot spring. Please follow me."
Thus, Qing Wen stayed behind to watch the house. Xiao Luo took a change of clothes and followed Baoqin out.
The head palace maid led the way in front, making many twists and turns in the garden before finally stopping in front of a palace made of white marble.
"Young Master Xue, this is the hot spring hall.
The hot spring that His Majesty bestowed upon you is the Nine Dragons Soup.
This is His Majesty's exclusive hot spring. Young Master Xue is very lucky. "
Under the service of Xiao Luo and another palace maid, Baoqin changed into a light dress. She stepped into the Nine Dragons Hot Spring with her shoes on.
As soon as she entered, a warm sulfuric smell immediately hit her in the face.
Baoqin looked up and saw a large white square pool in front of her. The water in the pool was faintly steaming. It was obvious that it was a hot spring.
Above the pool were nine white jade dragon statues. Streams of spring water flowed down from the dragons' mouths and into the pool.
She crouched down and reached out to test the temperature of the water. It was just right.
