Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

Untitled Part 31

After the Jing Prince returned from the front court, he first went to change in the inner hall before returning to sit in the outer hall.

Those who were aware of his character would be serving him tea at this moment.

Having served in the Hall of Splendor all this time, the few low-ranked palace maids had all changed in small ways.

Without mentioning anything else, at least they now have mastered the 'meaningful glances'. The purpose of these meaningful glances won't be mentioned for the moment, but it basically let them continue doing their jobs well.

Qiao Lian and Zhi'er who were responsible for serving tea had recently been struggling over it very hard. One person was clearly sufficient to serve the tea, but these days the two were inseparable, coming and going together.

Qiao Lian carried the carved lacquer tea set and Zhi'er was responsible for placing the teacup onto the table. Both of them had something to do, and both of them made an appearance, their roles were divided clearly.

As for how the two managed to reach such a cooperation Xiao Hua didn't know, but the fact they were still secretly competing with each other was still apparent to bystanders.

As a matter of fact, Xiao Hua who was standing quite close clearly saw that as Zhi'er lifted the teacup, Qiao Lian retrieved the tray and accidentally nudged her.

The result was obvious: the cup in Zhi'er's hands fell onto the floor.

The hall was very silent, and the sound rang out clearly.

Xiao Hua was very speechless. She had no idea what Qiao Lian was thinking.

Zhi'er frantically knelt to the floor as Qiao Lian stood to the side, a cold smile appearing on her mouth for an instant.

The Jing Prince never looked over, but Eunuch Fu who was constantly beside the prince as a backdrop saw things clearly, including the cause of the situation.

His good mood instantly turned bad as he hated how he couldn't have these two immature low palace maids dragged out and beaten to death. But considering the Jing Prince's indulgent attitude in this half a month, he felt a little relieved though the worry was still present.

"That was really careless. Hurry and clean the floor up." Eunuch Fu reprimanded in a low voice. He was hoping to use this interruption to smooth things over.

Unfortunately, heaven decided to play a joke on him.

"Have these two leave."

The silent prince finally opened his mouth, but his words had no introdction or conclusion.

The Jing Prince's attitude had been very calm, and his tone was calm as well. Zhi'er who had been dismayed and frightened earlier immediately sighed in relief.

But Eunuch Fu's attitude was hard to understand, seeming flustered and exasperated all of a sudden. Ordering Xiao Hua and Xiu Yun to step up and clean, he waved his hand at the same time for Qiao Lian and Zhi'er to take their leave, his expression extremely ugly.

From his expression, it seemed as though his parents passed away.

Xiao Hua thought she had seen wrongly and didn't put it to heart.

As she griped that 'turns out his highness could speak', she also felt that his highness was a pretty nice person. Although he was usually taciturn and apathetic, he wasn't harsh towards others. In the past she had often seen similar situations where teacups were spilled. The rules were usually stricter, directly ordering the offender to kneel outside and be reprimanded harshly. This Jing Prince didn't have any expressions, and only asked them to leave.
