Just a short dream.
After listening to their self-reports, Yu Linglong nodded lightly, and said: "Since you are a member of the mansion, you must obey the rules of the mansion. First, you must call yourself slaves."
Yihong, Banlu and the others suddenly changed their expressions: "Princess—"
They keep calling themselves maidservants and concubines, just to draw a clear line and distinguish their identities from those maidservants and wives. They are concubines who serve the prince, not servants serving tea and pouring water!
Yu Linglong ignored their words at all, and continued: "Secondly, if you are my people, you must obey my orders. If you disobey my orders, don't blame me for being ungrateful."
The five women looked at each other, but were speechless.
They really didn't expect that Yu Linglong's turnaround was faster than turning over a book. Just now, she was amiable and readily agreed to keep them in the mansion. Now that she had just signed the contract of sale and the ink was still dry, she began to speak harshly to them. Set the rules.
Before they could adapt to Yu Linglong's new attitude, even more terrifying words came.
"There is a lot of work in the palace. It is the time to employ people. It would be the best if you are willing to sell yourself into the mansion. From today on, you will start as third-class maids. If you do well, you will be able to do it in two years. It's second class."
Yu Linglong spoke calmly, but it sounded like a bolt from the blue to the ears of the women.
What, third class maid? Isn't that just a slave who does rough work? That is the most humble person in the palace!
They are all singers and dancers, all of them have slender fingers and are not exposed to the sun, let alone rough envoys, they have never even done such things as serving tea and water!
Yihong was the first to come to her senses, and she blurted out the words of refusal: "Princess, concubines are not maids! Concubines don't know how to do these jobs!"
It can't be blamed for Yihong's panic, because her status as a third-class maid is really far from her dream of becoming Xu Wang's concubine! If she really became a rough envoy, what would happen to her hands? Could she still be able to play the pipa and please men
Hearing her words, Yu Linglong didn't raise her eyelids, and said two words in a calm manner: "Shut your mouth."
Ling'er responded, stepped forward, slapped Yihong twice, and slapped Yihong's left and right sides twice, so that Yihong's fair face immediately became red and swollen.
Ling'er scolded crisply: "Bold! You are not allowed to call yourself maids and concubines just after the princess said, how dare you not listen to the princess!?"
136 Killing chickens and monkeys
Yihong was stupefied by the beating, she was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses, with tears in her eyes, she was obviously very wronged: "Princess, maidservant... slaveservant knows his mistake, but slaveserve—"
She can't be a maid, especially a third-class maid! If she becomes a servant girl, she will have no chance to see the prince in the future, and her dream of flying on a branch will be completely shattered!
But before she could finish her words, Ling'er slapped her backhand and knocked her down to the ground.
"Presumptuous! How dare you talk back!?"
Seeing Yihong being beaten to the point of bleeding, Banlu and the others tightened their heads in fright, like a flock of frightened quail, daring not to move, let alone speak.
They finally understood that the princess was not as talkative as they imagined. Although they were taken in on the surface, but after signing the contract of sale, they were completely the princess's people, not to mention beating or scolding, even killing them. There's nothing wrong with them.
It was clearly written in the deed of sale just now, if you sign this deed, you will be taught the lesson and never regret it!
They all came from the big family's house, so they have naturally seen the examples of the mistress teaching the concubine's room and the maids. Beating, scolding and punishing them are all light. People with their identities, their lives are worthless, even if they are beaten to death by the mistress , no one will hold the mistress responsible.
Until this moment, they finally realized how naive their previous thoughts were.
Yi Hong was slapped three times in a row, she was so dizzy that she almost forgot her own identity, she raised her head from the ground and shouted loudly: "The servant girl is not a servant girl, the servant girl was given to the prince by His Royal Highness! The servant girl is to serve the prince of!"
Her psychological gap is really too great. She originally wanted to rely on her beauty to win the favor of the prince, but now she is reduced to the status of a third-class maid by the princess. How can she bear it? How can she be reconciled!
The smile on Yu Linglong's pretty face finally faded, revealing a bit of cold hostility, and said in a deep voice: "Do you think that you are still the prince's man?"
Throwing the wet deed of sale on Yihong's face, Yu Linglong sneered and said, "Please see clearly, it is clearly written on it, you are from my Prince Xu's residence, not from some prince. !"
Faint ink was imprinted on Yihong's fair face, making her look embarrassed at the moment. Yihong held the contract of sale in her hand, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
At this moment, she finally came to her senses. From the very beginning, Yu Linglong had no intention of taking them in, asking them to sign a contract of sale, and completely controlling their life and death. The call!
If you don't obey her orders, you will die!
How could the proud Yihong be willing to suffer such humiliation, she raised her face and stared straight at Yu Linglong, her eyes were almost bloodshot with hatred, she hissed, "You - so despicable!"
After cursing these words, she was ready to be beaten again, but to her surprise, Linger didn't make a move, and Yu Linglong's face was also very calm, there was no beating or scolding as she expected.
But under this calm, there is a bigger storm hidden.
Yu Linglong glanced at Linger, Linger understood, stepped forward and forcibly snatched the contract of sale from Yihong's hand, and handed it to Yu Linglong.
Shaking the piece of paper showing Yihong's identity, Yu Linglong slowly folded it, as if it was such a precious thing.
Then, she handed this piece of paper to Mother Liu, and said flatly: "Since she doesn't want to stay in the palace, let's sell her."
What, Yu Linglong is going to sell her!
Yihong couldn't believe her ears, she worked so hard to stay in Prince Xu's Mansion, and she was about to be sold in less than half a day!
This is not the first time she has been sold, and naturally she knows what it's like to be in the hands of a human being. Thinking of being like an animal, enduring humiliation, being touched by people, and taking off her clothes to verify her identity, she just It feels terrible like falling into hell!
Besides, she couldn't carry it on her shoulders, couldn't lift it with her hands, and couldn't do rough work. If she was sold, who would fall into the hands of her!
She didn't dare to think about it, let alone think about it!
Yihong's face turned pale, and she threw herself to Yu Linglong's feet, "Princess, concubine! This servant knows I'm wrong! I beg my concubine, please keep this servant, I will never dare to contradict my concubine again!"
She wasn't humiliated by her groveling. For her now, being able to stay was the most important thing. What was face? If she is kicked out of the palace, she will never have a bright future in her life!
It doesn't matter if she can be a maid, if she can stay in the palace, there is still a glimmer of hope, but if she is sold, she can only be reduced to other people's maid or concubine, or even sold to a poor family...
For her who is used to wearing brocade clothes and eating jade food, and who only wants to be rich and honored, life is simply worse than death!
She begged hard, but didn't get the slightest sympathy, Yu Linglong kicked her hand away, her face was full of disgust, as if a toad had jumped on her feet.
The pink lips are as moist as flower stamens, but they are full of the cold wind: "Since you said that I am a despicable person, I will show you how despicable I am."
Ignoring Yihong who was collapsed on the ground, Yu Linglong looked up at Mama Liu and said, "Since she wants to serve men, she will follow her wish! Do you understand what I mean?"
Mama Liu said respectfully, "Yes, this servant has recorded it."
Yu Linglong's words couldn't be more clear, didn't Yihong say that she wants to serve the prince? Didn't she want to serve men wholeheartedly!
Then let her serve her enough!
This sentence determined Yihong's life forever.
Yihong is not stupid, she immediately understood the meaning of Yu Linglong's words, and immediately let out a heart-piercing scream: "No! Don't! Princess, please show mercy, don't sell slaves to such a place! "
She desperately stepped forward, wanting to grab Yu Linglong's foot, as if it was the last straw that could save her: "I know I was wrong, Wangfei, please forgive me—"
At this moment, her heart was full of remorse as if it had been eaten by worms, why didn't she leave the palace early? Why is she still lingering after being kicked out of the mansion? Why did you sign the deed of sale? Why don't you just obediently be a third-class maid? Why did you speak against the princess...
All the thoughts came to her mind one by one like a revolving lantern, she had so many opportunities to leave, why did she insist on letting herself walk into this dead end!
One wrong step, one whole life is wrong!
Turning a deaf ear to Yihong's shrill cry, Yu Linglong signaled to the wives to drag Yihong out, and then turned her attention to Banlu and the others.
"Who else has an opinion?" Yu Linglong asked kindly with a spring breeze on her face.
The remaining four girls seemed to be so frightened that their legs went limp, and they knelt down on the ground with a plop, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, and they even answered intermittently: "Slave... Slave dare not."
Yu Linglong nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Let's all step back."
The four women supported each other to stand up, not even daring to lift their heads, and retreated in a desperate manner.
After dealing with these women, Yu Linglong stood up, went to Concubine Xiang's couch under the window and lay down.
It was only three days since I came to Prince Xu's mansion, and I met
