After swapping bodies with the princess, this prince slaughtered his way through the court and becam

"They're here!"

Ren Jingxing lifted her skirt and strode out of the restroom.

At this moment, he had a strangely satisfied expression on his face.

A strange smile lingered on his lips.

Ren Jingxing shook his head and sighed inwardly:

I never would have guessed that this princess was actually a mythical beast!

Top-notch!

I'm determined to protect this empress!

Pearl watched as her princess emerged from the outhouse and strode forward with a powerful stride.

There was even a hint of sophisticated smile on his face.

Pearl blinked and pouted slightly:

"The princess has been acting strangely since this morning..."

However, Zhu'er didn't have time to think about that. She quickly took two steps forward, grabbed Ren Jingxing's arm, and said urgently:

"Princess, let's hurry to the laundry department! If we go any later, not only will we not finish washing our clothes, but we won't even have anything to eat!"

"You don't even have food to eat?"

"Yes, the eunuchs from the Imperial Kitchen would deliver the meals to Granny Li."

"If Granny Li is in a bad mood, she won't give us any food!"

Ren Jingxing frowned.

According to the memories of the original heir, the position of the Imperial Kitchen Supervisor in the Great Wei Dynasty was much higher than that of a lowly laundry department.

So how could a low-level head maid in the laundry department influence the food delivery by the eunuchs of the Imperial Kitchen?

A cold glint flashed in Ren Jingxing's eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

"Let's go check out the laundry department!"

On the way to the laundry department, Ren Jingxing subtly inquired about Wei Xinyan's past life.

As a princess, Wei Xinyan not only had to get up early every day to go to the laundry department to wash clothes.

They couldn't even get a hot meal; they ate leftovers from the laundry maids every day.

If clothes weren't washed properly, Li Mama would beat and scold them.

Wei Xinyan was not valued by the emperor, and his mother died young.

With Consort Ming backing her up, Granny Li didn't take Wei Xinyan seriously at all.

When the little maid Zhu'er recounted these events, her face was pale with lingering fear.

Ren Jingxing gently pinched Zhu'er's little cheek, patted her head, and smiled:

"Don't worry, Pearl, from now on we'll eat delicious food every meal and never suffer again!"

"Mmm!" Pearl smiled and nodded vigorously.

Although this promise was difficult to fulfill, Pearl felt a sense of hope for her life as she sensed the change in her princess's mindset.

As they walked to the laundry department, they found a large group of lowly palace maids diligently washing clothes.

Some palace maids were so tired they couldn't straighten their backs, yet they were still vigorously rubbing the clothes in their hands.

High-ranking palace maids were specifically responsible for washing the imperial concubine's clothes.

Their laundry skills were excellent, and they could make the imperial concubine comfortable. Sometimes they could even meet with the imperial concubine.

Even a head maid like Li Mama wouldn't dare to easily blame these palace maids in the laundry department.

Lowly palace maids, like Wei Xinyan, were responsible for washing the clothes of ordinary palace maids and eunuchs.

The daily routine of the palace maids in the laundry department consisted of waking up and washing clothes until the end of the day.

Wei Xinyan lived a similar life almost every day.

Her maid, Zhu'er, was also affected.

Ren Jingxing, carrying Wei Xinyan's body, had just entered the laundry department.

All the palace maids inside turned their gazes toward them.

There was contempt, indifference, and even pity in those eyes!

"Tsk tsk, how pitiful, this princess is going hungry again today."

"Oh dear, she's a princess, yet she's being bullied like this by Granny Li."

"It's because she has no one to back her up. A princess who has no one to care for her is not as high-ranking as a palace maid in charge."

Not only did Granny Li bully Wei Xinyan, but even the palace maids who did laundry looked down on her.

Ren Jingxing, with a cold expression, strode towards a wooden barrel in front of him.

The words "Mingfei" were written in red paint on the wooden bucket, and a gorgeous dress was draped inside.

Clearly, these are the clothes that Consort Ming had to be washed.

Ren Jingxing stopped with his left leg, pushed his right leg back, and then suddenly kicked out.

Clang!

With a crisp sound, the wooden bucket tipped over, and the clothes inside rolled twice, their collars covered in mud.

At this moment, a palace maid suddenly stood up, pointed at Wei Xinyan, and angrily said:

"These are Consort Ming's clothes! How dare you kick them!"

snort!

Ren Jingxing sneered inwardly. How dare a lowly laundry maid yell at a princess!

Relying on her skills as a former elite soldier before transmigrating, and with this body having already been somewhat nourished by the "Empress's Development Record," she was able to overcome the challenges of transmigrating.

He reached out with his left hand, grabbed the palace maid by the collar, and pulled her in front of him. Then, with his right hand, he drew his bow and swung it forcefully.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, the palace maid covered her face and fell to the ground, staring blankly at Ren Jingxing, forgetting even her anger.

The palace maids who were whispering nearby immediately fell silent.

They never imagined that the princess, who had always been hardworking and dutiful, would dare to hit someone!

Has this princess gone mad?!

The little maid Zhu'er standing behind was also stunned.

She stared blankly at the princess, feeling only a chill in her hands and feet.

She originally brought the princess to do laundry, but she never expected the princess to hit her again!

Oh no, oh no, this is really the end!

At this moment, Li Mama, whose hair was still messy, came out with several other head maids.

With the support of the other nannies, Granny Li's courage immediately increased.

She took a few steps forward, her left hand on her hip, her right index finger pointing at Ren Jingxing's nose, and shouted angrily:

"How dare you! You actually dared to kick over the wooden barrel!"

Now you not only have to wash the clothes that were assigned to you before, but you also have to wash Consort Ming's clothes!

The Empress's birthday is at the end of this month, and Consort Ming will wear this dress to the celebration banquet!

"Don't even think about eating if you don't finish washing the clothes today!"

The palace maids now looked at the princess with pity.

Wei Xinyan already had a heavy workload, and now she had an extra luxurious dress to wear.

Consort Ming's luxurious dress was different from that of ordinary palace maids.

These dresses, specially made for banquets, are not only made of exquisite materials, but also feature patterns embroidered with gold thread.

Such dresses cannot be folded and washed like ordinary clothes.

You can only flatten it out and then rub it clean little by little.

Furthermore, dirty areas need to be washed, and clean areas also need to be washed; otherwise, there will be color differences after drying.

Washing these clothes is more difficult than washing a whole bucket of ordinary palace maids' clothes!

hey~

Some of the palace maids who sympathized with Wei Xinyan shook their heads and sighed.

The princess is truly doomed now; she's about to suffer a double blow from both Granny Li and Consort Ming.

The maidservant, Zhu'er, quickly stepped forward and anxiously comforted Ren Jingxing:

"Princess, don't be afraid. Pearl washes these clothes all the time."

"It's just... it's just that Your Highness will have to suffer; you'll have to wash all the palace maids' clothes."

As Pearl spoke, tears began to stream down her face.

The little maid was already suffering enough, yet she felt sorry for the princess.

At the same time, she was blaming herself for being incompetent and unable to protect the princess.

Looking at Zhu'er, who was sobbing softly, Ren Jingxing felt a little moved.

It was probably because of the maid Zhu'er who stayed by Wei Xinyan's side that Wei Xinyan was able to survive so strongly.

Ren Jingxing raised his hand, pinched Zhu'er's cheek, then patted her head, comforting her:

"Don't worry, Pearl, don't cry, it's alright."

"Um……"

Pearl held back her tears and nodded. She actually felt a sense of security when the princess patted her on the head.

This was something that the princesses of the past had never given.

Ren Jingxing took two steps forward and stared at Granny Li.

As a mere head maid in the laundry department, Li Mama dared to look directly at Princess Wei Xinyan in public.

Ren Jingxing's face suddenly darkened, and he roared:

"How dare you! You're nothing but a lackey from the laundry department, how dare you look this princess in the eye?"
