The reborn prince's little palace maid in the apocalypse

Looking at the blushing Shiliu Niang, Mantou almost laughed.

"You think I'm great just because you see me commanding the eunuchs? It's not me who's great, it's the palace rules that are great."

"The rules of the palace! I know some of them. The eldest princess sent someone to teach us." Shiliu Niang's eyes sparkled.

"The maids all said that the palace is the place where rules are most respected. We are lucky to have learned a thing or two. When we go out in the future, we will be looked up to by others."

"I heard that the hierarchy in the palace is very strict, and the subordinates must never overstep their authority. I heard that the nanny who taught us was a second-class maid in the palace before. Except for the masters, the ordinary palace maids had to bow when they saw them."

Shiliu Niang looked longing. She heard that there were tens of thousands of palace maids in the palace. With so many people bowing to her, what a grand ceremony that would be! !

Seeing Shiliu Niang's expression, Jiaozi and Mantou looked at each other in bewilderment, "Is this what your nanny taught you?"

Shiliu Niang nodded.

Mantou sneered. "Meixiang and his sworn brothers are all slaves. I can only deceive you who know nothing."

Ah, Shiliu Niang looked confused and obviously didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence.

"It's true that the palace has strict rules, but that doesn't mean everyone is judged by rank. She's just a second-class palace maid, not a second-rank official like those outside. How can she have such a great influence?"

Mantou understood what the maids meant. They were just trying to scare the young ladies while mentioning their own worth.

"Miss Sixteen thinks I am powerful, that's because I followed the right master. Whether inside or outside the palace, only when my master is powerful will others be afraid of me."

"Because we are from the East Palace, even those who sweep the yard and guard the gate are treated with respect. Those who follow a powerful master, even if they are a little bit inferior to her, have to smile and talk to her."

Sixteenth Lady: ...

The little girl, who was less than ten years old, looked at the wives, nannies and maids, all of whom were so powerful, and wanted to learn from them and become as powerful as them. Now she found that she seemed to be wrong.

It turns out that it’s not those people who are powerful, but the masters behind them.

Then, should I still follow those people to learn? The little girl was a little confused.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and a piece of light yellow oil paper flew up in front of Shiliu Niang, and floated away with the wind.

Shiliu Niang lowered her head, and the stone table was completely empty. The lady opposite her, Miss Yun, was taking the last piece of braised beef and putting it into her mouth.

Xiao Ba ate the last piece of meat, looked at the little girl who was staring at him, and said with a roll of his eyes: "You invited me to eat."

Although the meat was given to you by me, you invited me to eat it, so of course I won't be polite.

Besides, what is politeness?

Xiao Ba looked at the little girl in front of him who was smiling at him shyly and asked, "Why... are you standing in front of me?"

"Ah? ...Oh! It's just that ... my sister is pretty."

Is this a reason?

Judging from Shiliu Niang's tone and her expression, this excuse was obviously made up on the spot. Jiaozi and Mantou also looked at Shiliu Niang.

Shiliu Niang was being watched by six eyes and felt a little nervous. She nervously clicked her fingers under the cover of the handkerchief in her hand.

"If I say something bad about others, will the sisters dislike me?" Sixteenth Lady's voice was not much louder than a mosquito. It was because the three people on the opposite side were not ordinary people that they could hear it clearly.

Mantou smiled gently and gently pulled one of Shiliu Niang's hands.

"As long as you didn't make it up, it's not bad. Besides, those who did bad things are not afraid, so why are you afraid?"

Shiliu Niang hurriedly shook her head and said, "I didn't make it up, it's true. Shi Niang's hands are poisoned, and if you get caught by her, you will be disfigured."

"Poison?" After hearing what Shiliu Niang said, Jiaozi and Mantou looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.

When it comes to using medicine to make poison, that is Baozi's specialty, and the two of them really didn't notice it.

Seeing the two people shaking their heads together, Shiliu Niang thought they didn't believe it, so she continued, "It's true. Before, there was a little maid who was scratched on the face by Shi Niang, leaving a long scar."

As she spoke, Shiliu Niang made an exaggerated gesture. Then she lowered her voice and said, "I also heard that Shi Niang's nails are specially cut, so they are very fast."

Jiaozi glanced at Xiao Ba, then asked Shiliu Niang with a smile, "Then if you stand in front of our master, aren't you afraid of being caught by her?"

"Don't be afraid, she doesn't dare to catch me." Shiliu Niang acted proud of herself because she was older than me. This made Jiaozi and Mantou laugh.

They chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Ba took the dumplings and steamed buns and waved goodbye to Shiliu Niang.

When leaving, Mantou paused for a moment.

"My master likes Miss Sixteen very much. If Miss Sixteen is willing, she can come and talk to my master when she has time."

A little girl who intends to take advantage of the situation, who is a little scheming but not annoying, and most importantly, is liked by her master. Mantou doesn't mind giving her a chance.

After hearing what Mantou said, Shiliu Niang smiled brightly and nodded continuously.

As the sun sets, the afterglow is like gold, sprinkling on the water of the Bobo Pool. A little girl stands among the countless lights and shadows, covered in the afterglow of the sunset, with a smile as bright as a flower.

The breeze blew through her hair and her skirt fluttered in the wind. Her eyes sparkled with joy, full of enthusiasm and anticipation.

Her reflection was reflected on the sparkling water...

At night, Yan Sinian looked at Xiao Ba, who had taken off all his jewelry and was preparing to go out in light clothes.

I couldn't help but ask, "I heard that you gave a little girl a bag of braised beef?"

It was not easy to get food from Xiao Ba, especially when she took the initiative to give it to him. There were people like this, but they were rare.

Xiao Ba nodded and smiled sweetly at Yan Sinian.

"You know what? This is the first time someone stood in front of me and wanted to protect me. So this is what it feels like to have someone protecting you."

There was no joy or emotion in Xiao Ba's tone, it was just a straightforward description of accepting something for the first time.

No one has ever protected her behind her back, not in this world, and certainly not in the apocalypse. In the apocalypse, anyone who doesn't pull you to their side to protect you is considered a good person.

"So, you give her meat?"

"Yes! It's an equal exchange!" Xiao Ba looked up and kissed Yan Sinian on the corner of his lips. He said, "I'll be back in a while." He turned around and left through the window.

Yan Sinian stood in front of the window where Xiao Ba left, the gentle moonlight shining on his cold face.

He thought about what Xiao Ba had just said and put himself in Xiao Ba's shoes. The act of Shiliu Niang standing in front of her was tantamount to sacrificing her life, and the braised beef was also a life to Xiao Ba.

The exchange between the two was fair and reasonable. This had nothing to do with the degree of danger at the time, it was purely because of Shiliu Niang's action.
