In the living room, Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan were almost dying of sadness now.
In front of each of them stood two female officials carrying yellow porcelain basins filled with hot water, and four other female officials holding various toiletries were surrounding them. Can this still make people wash their faces and feet? Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan's faces turned red, their hearts were beating wildly, and they glanced at each other secretly, losing the courage to even look up.
"Your Highness, please wash your face." Liu Xianghe looked at Lu Jing opposite him, who had the same doubts on his face, and urged him gently again. She didn't understand why the two highnesses were like this, as if they were afraid of girls? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel funny.
"Ahem," Lin Haifeng coughed several times, calmed down, rubbed his face with both hands, looked at Liu Xianghe, and then immediately moved his eyes to the washbasin, "Put the washbasins on the ground, put them on the ground."
"Put it on the ground?" The female officers holding the washbasin all suspected that they had heard wrongly and looked at Liu Xianghe.
"Your Highness, how can you wash your face on the ground?" Liu Xianghe asked strangely.
"But you guys are calling us like this and we can't even wash our faces." Lin Haifeng finally calmed down. He stood up, took the washbasin from the female officer's hand, walked to the row of empty chairs, put the washbasin down, and turned around Looking at the dull female officials, "Look, wouldn't it be nice to put it on a chair?" As he said that, he didn't care about anything anymore, quickly washed his face, turned around and shook his wet hands.
"Facial towel, hurry up, facial towel," Liu Xianghe just reacted and shouted, grabbing a facial towel from the hand of the female officer who was still in a daze, and arrived at Prince An's side in two steps, "Your Highness, wipe it quickly."
"It's great like this. It will be like this from now on." Lin Haifeng took the face towel, smiled while wiping it, and pointed to Lu Jing, "You are like this too, so don't stand there."
Seeing that Zheng Nan had finally finished washing his face, Lin Haifeng returned to the chair and sat down. Seeing the other female officer put the basin on the ground in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction, "That's it" That's it, and he couldn't laugh anymore no matter what.
The female officer who had placed the washbasin squatted down and stretched out her hands to take off his shoes. Lin Haifeng hurriedly moved his feet under the chair as if he was being electrocuted, and his face was filled with fever again, "No, this is not okay, I" He shook his head and waved his hands, and his words could not be said clearly. .
Zheng Nan was secretly glad that this scene happened before he could sit down. He looked at Lin Haifeng with some schadenfreude, then waved his hand to Liu Xianghe, and then looked at Lu Jing, "Hurry up and tell them to be the best in the future." Don't be like this, let's see how anxious you are to His Royal Highness Prince An. Hahaha" He finally burst out laughing unbearably, bending over with laughter, and holding his stomach until the end.
"What's wrong with me? Why do these little girls make me so confused?" Lin Haifeng lowered his head and clenched his fists hard. The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous he felt. In the end, Zheng Nan's weird smile made him bend over the table and start laughing.
The female officials looked at each other in disbelief. They even wondered, what happened to the two highnesses?
Lin Haifeng suddenly saw that the female officer squatting on the ground was still in front of him, and he quickly sat up straight, "Get up, get up quickly." Seeing the female officer stand up, he groaned and looked at the female officers in front of him. We, "We are the Celestial Dynasty, not the government offices or wealthy households of the Qing Dynasty. Like us, you are all children of the Heavenly Father and are equal. If you have to wait on you for such trivial matters as washing your face and feet, then what have we become?" ? What is the difference between us and those Manchu princes?"
"Butbut we are here to serve His Highness?" The female officer who had just stood up turned to look at Liu Xianghe, then looked at Prince An blankly, and said in confusion.
"Looking at your age, you must be fifteen or sixteen. What is your name?" Lin Haifeng did not answer her question directly.
"Reporting to Your Highness, my name is Jin Mei and I am sixteen years old."
"Jinmei, golden plum blossom, haha, a good name." Lin Haifeng smiled and nodded, then asked, "Where do you come from, and what did you do at home before?"
Facing such kind questions from King An, Jin Mei's nervous mood gradually relaxed, "Reporting to Your Highness, my family is from Wuchang, and I used to work as a maid for others."
"Oh," Lin Haifeng looked at the little girl and thought for a moment, "Then why did you come to Tianjing?"
Jin Mei¡¯s eyes flashed with sadness, she bit her lip and lowered her head slightly.
Liu Xianghe looked at Jin Mei and sighed softly at King An, "Jin Mei's mother was seriously ill last year and passed away without money for medical treatment. When our holy army conquered Wuchang at the beginning of the year, her father took her to join the holy army. It¡¯s a pity that he died during the attack on Tianjing.¡±
"He's the orphan of a martyr!" Lin Haifeng looked at Zheng Nan, turned around and pointed.Pointing to the empty chairs on both sides of the room, he said to the female officials, "Sit down, don't stand here."
The female officers didn¡¯t seem to hear his words, and they didn¡¯t move.
Lin Haifeng frowned, "Why, didn't you hear what I said?"
Lu Jing and Liu Xianghe looked at each other and murmured to King An, "Reporting to Your Highness, there is no such rule."
"Rules? What rules?" Lin Haifeng was a little unhappy. "All rules are set by people. Let's not talk about you and Liu Xianghe. You are both secretaries here. Oh, no, it should be the minister. You are here. Master. Speaking of Jinmei and the others, from now on in this place, they are not allowed to kowtow or kneel, and secondly, they are not allowed to bow and stand. When you have nothing to do, you can sit down when you should. This is your right."
"Thisdoesn't this seem appropriate, Your Highness?" Liu Xianghe lowered his head and said, "Sister Xuanjiao said that the palace must have the dignity of the palace."
"Dignity?" Lin Haifeng stood up holding the table and pointed at the golden plum. "Her father died for the Celestial Empire, but she still washes my feet and works as a servant girl. This is how it was at home, but when it comes to the Celestial Empire The palace is still like this, is this the dignity of the palace? If we retain this dignity, what is the difference between this palace and the corrupt officials and local tyrants of the Qing Dynasty? Why are we still establishing this celestial dynasty? "
