Cen Huan had no intention of quarreling with the prince Yuan Ruo in public. Qiong Lin was about to go back after the banquet, but was called over by the queen on the way.
In the Queen's Palace, the bead curtain is hidden.
Cen Huan stood outside the curtain and waited for several cups of tea before the queen spoke from inside the curtain.
"I remember you. You are a maid next to Abao."
Cen Huan said yes, and the queen continued: "A Bao has returned to Lizhou, why are you still going to Beijing?"
Although he was asking, his tone sounded like he already knew the reason why she stayed, full of disdain and contempt. Without waiting for Cen Huan's reply, she continued to ask: "I heard that you saved the prince's life?"
Cen Huan said: "It is my duty to save my master."
"Of course you deserve it!"
The Queen suddenly raised her voice as if to emphasize something.
"It's just that since it was A Bao who asked you to do it, you can do it well. The master can't pretend to be invisible."
As she spoke, a little girl walked up to Cen Huan holding a tray from the inside, followed by a slightly older nanny.
"These are a pair of aurora pearl earrings presented as tribute by Bei'an. This is the only pair in Daxuan.
As I am getting older, I can no longer wear such flashy items. Seeing that you are only twenty years old, I will give you this pair of pendants. "
The little maid handed the tray to Cen Huan's eyes, and a pair of slightly emerald pearl earrings appeared in front of Cen Huan's eyes.
Grandma took a step forward and said expressionlessly: "Miss Huan, let me put it on for you."
Cen Huan hesitated for a moment and said hurriedly: "Reporting to your Majesty, I... don't have pierced ears..."
After hearing this, Nanny Shen stepped forward and took a closer look. She found that Cen Huan really did not have pierced ears, so she shook her head slightly towards the curtain.
There was silence in the curtain for a moment, and Queen Qu's voice sounded again.
"How can a woman not have pierced ears?
Ha, that's right, Abao just treats you as a murderous maid. "
After she finished speaking, the maids and chambermaids standing in the palace all had contemptuous smiles on their faces.
The murderer's maid is no different from the rough servants who serve in the court. They are just doing rough work. Of course, even the servants who serve around them are not ordinary.
If people are divided into three, six or nine grades, they can also laugh happily.
Cen Huan lowered his eyes and said nothing, not caring about their sneers.
The queen also felt that it was no longer interesting, but she didn't like it very much when she saw Cen Huan's tacky look.
"Girls are not born with pierced ears. At your age, you can't always dress like a boy or girl. How will you find a husband in the future?"
She deliberately put the word "finding her husband's family" in a strong tone.
A few days ago, I heard rumors that the prince had a close relationship with this slave, and I am afraid they have been linked together for a long time.
But who is the prince? She is the son of Qu Suyi, the prince and future monarch of Daxuan, how can she have any unexplainable connection with a murderer of a maidservant?
Just saying their two names together would be a slap in her face!
The more Empress Qu thought about it, the angrier she became, and her tone became more and more unkind.
"Duo Niang, put it on for her."
Cen Huan's eyes flashed and he subconsciously looked at the pair of earrings.
The hooks of the earrings are extremely sharp. Even if you have already had your ears pierced, if you put the needle-like hook through them, you will probably get poked.
She instantly understood what Queen Qu meant. This was an overt reward and a hidden punishment!
"If this subordinate is guilty, please make it clear to me!"
The queen behind the beaded curtain did not speak. Aunt Shen, who was holding an earring, said kindly: "Girl, don't tell me that your serious master is also a criminal now and doesn't care about your life or death.
Just say that if you want me to die, I will have to die. As a slave, you have been rewarded by the empress, and the old slave is personally serving you, so don't be so ungrateful! "
After she said that, several guards suddenly came in from outside the door and held Cen Huan down.
Aunt Shen's hands touched Cen Huan's ears, which were as cold as a pair of soft tentacles. "If the girl is good, she won't suffer too much."
Cen Huan has seen other people pierce their ears. They first use beans to clamp the earlobe, and then slowly clamp it thinner. With just one push, an earring can go through without much pain.
But even then, she was afraid of the pain, so she didn't let her mother pierce her ears.
She is actually most afraid of pain...
The sharp hook slowly passed through her earlobe, causing burning pain. After it was passed, the torturer pulled hard again, and the delicate earlobe seemed to be torn. Cen Huan, who pursed his lips tightly, couldn't help but groan.
His voice trembled.
Even a person who has never been afraid of swords, mountains and seas of fire is extremely easy to be tortured in the hands of a woman.
Because women know their weaknesses best!
"As long as the girl knows that if you are a slave and behave yourself, the reward from the empress will not be less. But if you have any undue thoughts that you shouldn't have..."
There was a sudden weight in Nanny Shen's hand, and the other earring also went through it. Cen Huan tightened her fingers in pain.
Grandma Shen continued: "This pendant is for the girl to wake up!"
After all the earrings were put on, the group of guards withdrew from the palace.
With bare hands, she opened the bead curtain, and Queen Qu walked out of it.
She took a closer look at Cen Huan's appearance.
His face is as bright as the moon, cold and distant. The aura around her is truly unique.
She was a little surprised. She didn't expect that a murderous maid next to Qu Baiyu's child also had such a temperament. She was indeed the one her Ruoer liked.
It's just that a murderer's maid is a murderer's maid. No matter how good her temperament is, she is nothing more than a lowly person!
She picked up the earring, and the heavy Aurora beads swayed gently under Cen Huan's bloody earlobe.
"Look, doesn't it look much better this way?"
she asked.
Cen Huan remained silent, with anger that could hardly be suppressed in his lowered eyes.
Queen Qu stood up straight. She was very dissatisfied with Cen Huan's attitude, but she didn't want to go overboard. She said, "Since it looks good, just wear it all the time. It also helps the girl to have a better memory!"
Cen Huan raised his eyes slightly when he heard this.
Queen Qu looked at her condescendingly, not paying attention to the anger of her servant.
Aunt Shen said: "Miss Huan, thank you!"
Cen Huan gritted his teeth and said: "...Subordinate, thank you for the reward!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
"Wait!"
Queen Qu called her again.
Cen Huan turned his back to them, and the coldness around his body could no longer be suppressed.
The people in the palace felt as if the air had suddenly become colder.
Queen Qu frowned, subconsciously not being too arrogant. He said solemnly: "The Pisces pendant is a thing of the East Palace. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for the girl to wear it without any cover."
Only then did Cen Huan understand the purpose of Queen Qu calling her here.
She suddenly pulled off her Pisces pendant and held it up in front of them.
"I also feel that something is wrong. I hope that the empress will return it to His Highness the Crown Prince and tell him that this subordinate is just a murderer and is not worthy of being thought about by a noble man like him every day!"
After she said that, she threw it casually, and the Pisces pendant instantly penetrated into the palace like a sharp arrow.
