The reborn prince's little palace maid in the apocalypse

Xiao Ba and the other three sat down on the stone bench beside the pond.

Shiliu Niang took out a piece of braised beef with soy sauce that Xiao Ba had just given her and nibbled on it in small bites.

Before she could even taste how delicious the meat was, she felt a pair of fiery gazes staring at the meat in her hand.

There was no greed in Xiaoba's eyes, only affirmation of the delicious food. Just by looking at her eyes, you could tell how delicious the meat was.

Shiliu Niang thought for a moment, then pushed the oil paper bag to the middle of the table and said, "Let's eat together."

Xiao Ba's eyes lit up, he nodded happily, and also picked up a piece of braised beef.

"Sisters, eat too." Shiliu Niang looked at the dumplings and steamed buns and invited them to eat the braised beef with soy sauce.

Jiaozi and Mantou looked at Xiaoba at the same time.

Xiao Ba didn't even look up, nor did he show his usual protective expression.

Since this thing has been given to Shiliu Niang, how she wants to eat it and who she gives it to is her own business.

Since Shiliu Niang could treat him in return, Xiao Ba ate happily.

After all, this is not the end of the world anymore, and Xiao Ba doesn't need to snatch food from other people anymore.

So, Jiaozi and Mantou were also fortunate enough to taste Grandpa Qiang’s braised beef, which was indeed delicious, fragrant and tender, and not salty at all in the mouth.

Considering their friendship as they were eating the same bag of meat, the four of them started chatting.

In fact, it was Jiaozi and Mantou who noticed that Xiaoba treated Shiliu Niang differently. Although they only gave her a bag of meat, they didn't say another word.

But those who could receive meat from the hands of their masters who were protecting their food were naturally extraordinary.

Mantou was quite curious. What did Shi Niang mean when she said Shiliu Niang was of a higher generation?

Aren’t they all young ladies from the Li family? And they also heard Sixteenth Lady calling Tenth Lady “sister”, so how did they bring up the issue of generation?

Shiliu Niang smiled slightly and explained to Xiao Ba and the others.

It turns out that when Shi Niang's father was alive, he was an elder in the Li clan and had a very high seniority.

The "little lady" mentioned by Shi Niang did not mean that Shiliu Niang's mother was a concubine, but...

Having said this, Shiliu Niang paused for a moment, revealing an indescribable expression.

Shiliu Niang's biological mother was her father's second wife, but when her parents got married, the scene really fit the saying: "The sixteenth girl and the sixty-year-old man, the pear blossoms overwhelm the crabapple trees."

Her mother was two years younger than her father's granddaughter. Now, the neighbors all called her mother "little mother" behind her back. Of course, this did not mean that her mother was a concubine, but was a mockery of her half brothers and sisters for having such a young mother.

Later, when she was three years old, her father died, and life for her and her mother suddenly became difficult.

Her brothers followed the rules and gave her mother some money every year, but the money was always received with cold words from their sisters-in-law, and even insults. Although the money was received, every time that day came, her mother would cry until dawn.

However, the money had to be accepted. In order to raise her, her mother could only hold back her tears and swallow the pain silently, even in the face of verbal battles and rumors.

Until one day, she saw a little woman standing at the street corner scolding someone.

The woman held her waist with one hand, and with a high attitude, she scolded the people in front of her so much that they didn't dare to raise their heads.

She was really envious at that time, and thought that it would be great if she could have such momentum someday.

Later, I heard from others that the young wife who taught people a lesson was the daughter-in-law of a deputy steward in the clan leader's house. The reason why she was so powerful was that she had worked in the eldest princess's house and received rewards. This was the daughter-in-law of the deputy steward who had specially gone to the eldest princess's courtyard to ask for her.

Being able to come out of the princess's room, her aura must be different from others. At that time, she was extremely envious. If she could also serve the princess for a few years, would she be able to support her mother?

But she also understood that her biological father was the elder of the clan, and if the Li family's seniority was really broken down, even the clan leader would have to call him little aunt.

With such status, how could the princess choose her to serve in the palace? Even if she wanted to be a servant, no one would dare to take her. It was impossible.

Later, by chance, she was selected into Yiyuan.

Yiyuan was originally a place where girls in the Li family studied and learned to read. Later, when Princess Jinshan married into the Li family, she sent female officials from the palace to Yiyuan to teach the girls of the Li family some rules and court etiquette.

As time went by, several ladies of the Li family were praised by the eldest princess, and their marriage status was improved. Since then, more and more people wanted to study in Yiyuan. For this reason, the Li family raised the threshold for admission and formulated the rules that girls in the academy were not judged by their seniority, but only by their academic knowledge.

This is also the reason why Sixteenth Mother calls Tenth Mother sister.

Sixteenth Lady was sweet-mouthed and clever, and she was very smooth in calling all the sisters, and even the maids were coaxed into submission. Besides, there were only her and her widowed mother in Sixteenth Lady's family, which was not much better than a poor family. How dare she pretend to be a senior in the clan leader's house? She was not stupid.

As for the fact that she acted like an elder to Shi Niang just now, it was just a quarrel between the young ladies.

After saying this, Shiliu Niang looked at Mantou with a red face and asked embarrassedly: "Sister Mantou, how can I become as powerful as you?"

"Me, awesome?" Mantou was puzzled. He hadn't spoken loudly today, so how could he be awesome?

Shiliu Niang nodded at Mantou and said, "Great!"

After lighting the lights yesterday, Shiliu Niang saw Mantou from afar, directing the young eunuchs to move things. She immediately felt that the woman standing there was more imposing than the young wife back then!

If there is such a thing as star chasing in this era, just that one glance made Mantou instantly become the newest idol in Shiliu Niang's heart.
