She always plays cards out of the ordinary

Chapter 356: Startling Steps 3

Minghui ignored Ruolan who was kneeling to greet him and walked straight in.

Even if Ruolan didn't understand, she knew she was coming with great force.

"Where's Ruoxi? Let her come see me."

Ruolan's eyelids twitched, and she knew that Ruoxi was causing trouble again.

Sure enough, her personal maid walked up to her carefully and told her where Ruoxi was going.

"Concubine, I just went to look for her. Princess Ruoxi has gone out to play. She is not in the house at all."

Ruolan's first reaction was to plead guilty.

"Fujin, Ruoxi is still young and has just entered the palace. She doesn't understand the rules of the palace yet. It's Ruolan who didn't discipline her well. Ruolan is willing to be punished."

"You should be punished. Even though Ruoxi is a guest in the mansion, the rules still need to be followed.

As Ruoxi's sister, you can't even control her servants. Since you can't do it, let me do it.

Come, give him a good beating, and have all the servants come and watch, to serve as a warning to others."

"Yes!"

Mingyu felt that her sister's behavior was in line with the requirements of this era.

But women's and men's bodies are different after all.

She quietly pulled Minghui's hand and put it close to her ear.

"Sister, we servants should be punished for not watching our master well, but after these twenty strokes, those girls will probably be ruined."

When Minghui heard this, her eyebrows twitched slightly and displeasure flashed in her eyes. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her punishment.

"Why, do you think I shouldn't do this?"

Mingyu could see that her sister was unhappy, but she still didn't want Minghui to leave a cruel impression in front of everyone.

Moreover, women were treated quite harshly at that time. If these girls were beaten in broad daylight, it would mean that their relatively normal lives would be completely ruined.

Although Mingyu is not a kind-hearted person in the traditional sense, she still does not want girls of this era to pay the price for the actions of a time traveler.

"Sister, these slaves should be punished. I mean, the servants can beat them, and the maids can just hit their palms to teach them a lesson. As for the rest, let them serve the master well, which can be regarded as atonement."

Minghui thought about it and finally agreed with Mingyu's opinion.

"Okay, let's do as you say."

Ruoxi had just returned to the mansion when the maid informed her that she had been exposed, so she ran over as fast as she could.

Before she even entered the house, she saw the people who served her, whether they were maids or servants, all of them were being punished in the yard.

"What are you doing? Let them go immediately."

Ruoxi's face changed drastically and she immediately ran over and tried to pull the executioner away.

Qiao Hui quickly stopped her, "Princess, they only follow the master's orders."

"Master?" Ruoxi ran into the house immediately upon seeing this.

"Sister, please tell them to stop. Aren't you usually the kindest person?"

Ruoxi came in shouting and everyone in the room had different expressions.

Especially the concubine Maertai Ruolan, who quickly winked at her sister.

"Ruoxi, why don't you come and pay your respects to the First Lady."

Only then did Ruoxi notice Minghui and Mingyu standing beside her.

Minghui's face looked very bad since Ruoxi appeared outside.

When he saw her come in, he was also ignorant of the rules and immediately gave her a disapproving look.

"Ruoxi pays respects to the First Lady."

Qiaohui quickly bowed to Minghui, and seeing this, Ruoxi also quickly followed suit and bowed in an awkward manner.

Mingyu couldn't bear to look at it.

"It seems that Concubine's teaching of Ruoxi is really not very good. She is about to enter the palace for the selection, but she doesn't even know the basic etiquette rules. Does Concubine love her sister or harm her?"

Ruolan knelt down directly, "It's Ruolan's fault. Ruolan is willing to be punished."

Minghui took a sip of tea and then spoke slowly.

"You've made more than just a mistake. You've made a big mistake. This is still in the mansion. If she were to enter the palace and offend some noble, I don't know whether you would be punished for her or collect her body."

Although Ruolan was unwilling to cling to the Eighth Master, she was not a fool. In this world, life was already difficult for women. If she was not favored by her husband, her future would definitely be difficult.

Right now, the beauty pageant is imminent, and it is definitely not okay for Ruoxi to enter the palace in this state.

"It's Ruolan's fault."

Ruoxi couldn't bear to see her sister being so humble, so she immediately stepped forward and shouted.

"Everyone is responsible for their own actions. If you have any problems, come to me."

Mingyu rolled her eyes for once. She didn't understand what Ruoxi was thinking.

After all, you are a modern person, not a student anymore. You have worked in society for a while. How can you be so brainless?

In the company, everyone knows to bow to the boss because it affects your salary. But if you travel back to ancient times, where the boss holds the power over your life and death, how can you not bow your head?

"Ruoxi, you have to know that their duty is to serve you, and you sneaked away without their knowledge. This is their dereliction of duty. If you really pity them, please remember to control yourself!"

Mingyu's last words were particularly meaningful, and it was unclear whether Ruoxi understood them.

Ruoxi looked somewhat dissatisfied and wanted to argue with Mingyu, but was stopped by Ruolan.

A hint of impatience flashed across Minghui's eyes, and then she pulled Mingyu away from Ningxiangju.

On the way, Minghui kept telling Mingyu,

"Don't try to learn Ruoxi's behavior. Even if you want to leave, you can just say it openly. Don't do anything in private.

The beauty pageant will be held soon. Although given your family background, even if the palace wants to arrange it, they dare not randomly assign you to a bad family, but you still need to pay attention to what you should pay attention to. "

"Sister, don't worry, I know the limits."

Mingyu said this, but she was actually feeling a little annoyed. She knew that according to the plot, she would eventually be assigned to be the Tenth Prince's wife.

But she is not her original self after all. During this period of time, she has actually been considering her future.

If possible, Mingyu would not want to get married in such an era. In such an era where the husband is the most important woman, a woman's lifelong honor and disgrace depends on her husband.

If a woman is not favored by her husband, she will definitely be bullied in the harem. Haven’t you seen the Queen Yixiu in the biography of someone? She is such a powerful person, but she is not favored by the emperor.

No matter how powerful she is or how strong her backing is, there will always be people standing up to challenge her, just because the emperor likes her.

This scene is applicable to any harem. Where a man's heart is, there is the center of power in the harem.

No matter how talented a person is, few can live a peaceful life under the torture in the harem.

So, Mingyu actually didn't want to get married, but at the same time, it was impossible for her not to get married. She could even be a widow, but she couldn't be an old maid.

Mingyu carefully thought about the candidate for the widow. The talent show was not far away, so she had to make plans early.

(It was so difficult to write Startling by Each Step, I have no inspiration at all. Some readers have suggested writing a CP with Kangxi. Do you have any male protagonist recommendations?)
