Ma Xiuying talked with her precious son for half an hour in Zhu Lin's room. Finally, she felt a little tired and yawned.
"Empress, you should return to the palace for an afternoon nap.”
The maidservant beside him said respectfully.
Ma Xiuying nodded.
"Alright."
She slowly got up and looked around. She frowned and said,
"This King Wei's residence is a little too shabby. The place is also small. It's only half a yard, how can it be used?”
"Lin 'er, why don't you come back to Earth Peace Palace with Mother? Mother's place is so spacious that you can even run away.”
Zhu Lin shook his head repeatedly.
"I'm not going, I'm not going. I've already grown up. How can I live with mother again? Wouldn't he be laughed at if he told others?”
He said,
"Stay here! It's pretty good. It's already spacious enough!"
Although Empress Ma despised this as a 'half-yard,' the King of Wei's bedroom was actually not small. It had three entrances and three exits, and even had a garden and pond.
Of course, it couldn't be compared to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility. The Palace of Earthly Tranquility was practically a huge plaza…
"Who dares to laugh? Mother, tear his mouth!"
Ma Xiuying snorted and waved her hand.
"Forget it. Since you don't want to go, mother won't force you.”
"Mother will go back to the palace later and issue an imperial decree to buy all the items here. According to your big brother's standards, I will also give you a set.”
"As for this servant, there are too few people at the moment, so I'll send you 24 more.”
Zhu Lin: "???"
24?
He was trying to make up 24 solar terms for himself!
"Empress, these are all specifications that only the Crown Prince can use. Isn't it a little…"
The personal maid said hesitantly.
Ma Xiuying glanced over.
The maidservant immediately lowered her head and kept quiet out of fear.
"In my place, there is no Crown Prince, only a son!”
She flicked her sleeves and said,
"What specifications? Biao 'er and Lin' er are both my sons, so we have to use the best!”
"Do it!"
As the founding empress of the Ming Dynasty, Ma Xiuying's power was not inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang's at all. In fact, she was even stronger.
After all, she was the only one in the world who could suppress Old Zhu.
"Yes."
The personal maidservant obediently accepted the order and held Empress Ma's hand as they walked out of the room.
"Lin 'er, you just fell into the water, so your body is still weak.”
Ma Xiuying walked to the door and turned around worriedly. She reminded,
"Have a good rest and don't run around. Mother will bring you some supplements tomorrow.”
" Yes, yes…" Zhu Lin nodded repeatedly. He cupped his hands and said," Farewell, Mother!"”
Empress Ma left.
Only Zhu Lin and his slaves were left in the room.
Zhu Lin's smile slowly disappeared.
At this moment, he sat on the chair without saying a word. Those servants did not dare to raise their heads and stood in front of him in fear, not even daring to breathe loudly.
"Some of you have secretly bullied me when I was in a daze.”
Zhu Lin stroked his chin and looked straight at the dozen or so slaves in front of him. He said indifferently,
"Some of them have shown impatience to their faces.”
"Some of them secretly laughed at me for being a fool.”
"I know, I know everything."
Thump!
These words exploded in the hearts of all the servants! A few of them with weaker mental fortitude almost fainted from fright.
"Let me ask, is there anyone who has served me well from the beginning to the end, no matter how stupid I am?”
Zhu Lin stared at them and continued,
"Those who have the confidence, step forward.”
The servants looked at each other and didn't have the confidence to do so.
After all, who would be able to face a fool all day long and watch him wet his bed and drool without complaining?
They all complained.
Therefore, none of them dared to stand out.
Only a little girl looked up timidly. She wanted to take a step forward, but she didn't dare to. She looked left and right at the others.
Seeing that no one stepped forward, she stopped halfway.
"You."
Zhu Lin pointed at her and shouted,
"Come out."
"I saw you lift your foot. You have the confidence, right?”
When the little girl heard this, she panicked.
She wanted to dodge, but the King of Wei had called her name, so she could only brace herself and step out.
"…Yes."
the little girl whispered.
Zhu Lin closed his eyes and searched through his memories for images of her.
In the end, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
As expected, this girl was responsible.
Although she was only one or two years older than him, she took good care of him like an older sister. She never disliked the feces and urine. Instead, when no one was around, she would secretly put her hands together and pray for him.
This was a kind girl.
It was no wonder that when the imperial guard pulled her hair and lifted her up, he felt unbearable and angry, wanting to save her.
"You, not bad."
Zhu Lin nodded and said,
"What's your name?"
"I…I don't have a name." The little girl was flustered and stuttered.
"Then this king shall bestow you with a name.”
Zhu Lin thought for a moment and said,
"Mother wants to bestow me with 24 maidservants. Let's name them after the 24 solar terms!”
"I don't like spring, I like summer. You…shall be called Lixia!"
When the little girl got the name, she immediately revealed a happy expression.
"Lixia, thank you for the name, Your Highness!”
She was elated and immediately knelt down to kowtow to Zhu Lin.
When the other servants saw this, they all revealed envious looks.
Ordinary palace maids didn't have names. Those who had names were all ranked in the master's favor.
In the palace, from the concubines to the palace maids, it all depended on whether they were favored or not.
If she was not favored, she would be like rootless duckweed. No one would know if she was thrown into a well one day.
"Yes."
Zhu Lin stood up and said,
"From today onwards, you, Lixia, will be my personal maid and will be in charge of all my servants.”
Lixia was speechless.
" Your Highness, no…how could this servant…"
She was flattered and quickly refused.
"If this king says you can, then you can."
Zhu Lin interrupted her and ordered the servants,
"From now on, you must listen to Lixia. If you dare to disobey, the rules of the palace will teach you a lesson!”
"Did you hear that?"
" Yes…" All the servants agreed in unison, but they were all upset.
If the bestowment of a name made them envious, then at this moment, it made them jealous and regretful!
A little girl who had only been in the palace for less than two years had climbed above them, and even the vast majority of servants in the palace!
After all, if the master's status was high, the status of the personal maidservant would naturally rise as well!
Regret! If he had been more patient earlier…
"I can't be bothered to pursue your previous mistakes.”
Zhu Lin narrowed his eyes and said indifferently,
"But from now on, you'd better pay more attention and don't make any mistakes.”
"Otherwise, when this king is unhappy, I might think of some bad scenes and you will be in trouble.”
The servants were speechless.
"Yes, sir!"
At this moment, their hearts were on tenterhooks.
Was this considered forgiveness or not?
Too terrifying, this Prince Wei…
Starting tomorrow, he would update five chapters a day!
