Chapter 171 Liwei
Lu Zhong: "I just came back and I haven't had time to talk about it yet. Your Majesty is also busy with the meeting of the envoys of the Red Moon Kingdom. Don't worry, second aunt, what I promised will never change."
After receiving his promise, Ge Shi finally felt relieved and his smile became sincere: "You kid, I just said it casually. We watched you grow up. How could we not understand your character?"
Seeing Ge's face turning faster than flipping through a book, Shen Xinyue picked up a piece of mushroom on the plate in front of her and ate it silently.
Except for the connotation in Ge's words at the beginning, the atmosphere of the entire dinner can be described as enjoyable.
After the banquet was over, Lu Zhong and Shen Xinyue slowly walked side by side towards the courtyard.
Looking at the bright moonlight, Shen Xinyue couldn't help but sigh: "Unknowingly, it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"I'm going to the palace today. The emperor asked me to take you to the palace in two days. I will hand you the sign tomorrow. You don't need to be too nervous, just treat it as a routine meeting with the elders."
Afraid that she would have a psychological burden, Lu Zhong deliberately downplayed the matter of entering the palace.
Thinking of Shen Yingyue in the palace, I don't know how she is doing now. Maybe I can take the opportunity of entering the palace to find out.
Just thinking of the complicated rules, Shen Xinyue frowned again: "There should be a lot of rules in the palace, right?"
Lu Zhong raised his hand and touched her hair: "Leave this matter to me."
What Shen Xinyue didn't expect was that Lu Zhong's solution was to find two helpers for her.
The next day, as soon as she got up, she found that there were two more people in the room for no apparent reason.
"Girl, this slave's name is Liuyun. She used to serve the eldest princess. The young master said that from now on, this slave will serve the girl's food and daily life."
Liu Yun is in his twenties, has a delicate appearance, and a soft, waxy voice that is very pleasant.
He behaves humbly and appropriately, which makes people feel very comfortable.
"My husband's surname is Qin. You can just call me Nanny Qin." The speaker was a woman in her fifties, her hair was neatly arranged, her face was serious, and she seemed a little difficult to get along with.
However, both of them were sent here by Lu Zhong, and they had served the eldest princess before. Shen Xinyue greeted her very seriously: "Nanny Qin, Liuyun."
"Tomorrow, the two of us will accompany the girl into the palace. The girl will have breakfast first, and then the old slave will explain to the girl the precautions in the palace."
"Mother Qin, there is no need to be so polite. Lu Zhong often mentioned you to me, saying that you brought him up. In his eyes, you are his elder, and that is also my elder."
Aunt Qin was originally the elderly person next to the eldest princess. Because she was getting older, Lu Zhong didn't want her to be tired anymore, so he asked her to go home and enjoy family happiness.
This time Shen Xin came to Kyoto at the beginning of the month, and there were no elders around to teach her the rules, so Lu Zhong had no choice but to invite her back again.
Nanny Qin had always had a critical attitude towards Shen Xinyue, until she heard her words and finally showed her first smile since the morning.
She was not afraid that Lu Zhong would fall in love with a scheming woman. How could a person who had been baptized by intrigues in the palace be afraid of such a woman?
She had made many assumptions in her mind before coming here. If a woman with ulterior motives seduced the young master, she would take action to drive him away.
If she was pure-hearted, she would try her best to protect Lu Zhong for his sake, but whatever the outcome, she could only seek happiness for herself.
Now it seems that all her worries are unnecessary. She is a transparent woman.
Although her appearance is not the best, as long as the young master likes her, she will do her best to teach her.
Shen Xinyue naturally didn't know what Nanny Qin was thinking, but she had something she wanted to spread through the two of them.
"Liu Yun, mama, haven't you had breakfast yet?" Shen Xinyue called to Xiao Qiu who was standing aside: "Xiao Qiu, is breakfast ready? Let's add two more sets of bowls and chopsticks."
Upon seeing this, Liu Yun quickly stopped him: "Girl, this is against the rules." In their eyes, Shen Xinyue is the master, and they must abide by the distinction between superior and inferior.
"It doesn't matter if you do it once or twice."
Seeing that Xiaoqiu was still there without moving, Shen Xinyue didn't have any anger on her face, but smiled and reminded: "Do you need me to repeat it again?"
Xiaoqiu didn't say anything, waved her handkerchief and walked away.
Liu Yun wanted to speak, but was pulled back by Nanny Qin without leaving any trace.
If Shen Xinyue can't handle such a small matter, how can she stand side by side with the young master in the future?
"They are not staying at the eldest princess's mansion, so why come here to join in the fun?" Xiaoqiu complained to Xiaoli as soon as they went out.
"Don't enter the house if you're afraid of making a fool of yourself. I really didn't know that the young master would value a wild girl from the countryside so much."
"After all, she will be the mistress of the house from now on. You and I have to look at her face to act. It's better not to say a few words. Breakfast is already prepared. Come over quickly."
Seeing that Xiaoqiu only picked up two things and was about to carry them over, Xiaoli quickly reminded: "There are more of these."
"It's enough to have these two things. You don't know her country bumpkin appearance, and you haven't even seen fragrant rice. I think she will be secretly enjoying these two things. Besides, the second lady is in charge now, and you are Qin Nanny and the others dare to say no?"
Seeing how unscrupulous she was, Xiaoli could only helplessly shake her head.
"Girl, breakfast is here."
Shen Xinyue looked at the porridge on the table and the vegetables on a palm-sized plate, then stood up and sat down at the table.
Seeing that she really didn't know anything, Xiaoqiu couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
"By the way, Xiaoqiu's name is not nice. From today on, your name will be Xiaoju."
When Xiaoqiu heard that she changed her name casually, she fell out on the spot.
"My name was given by the Second Madam, why do you have the right to change my name casually?"
Shen Xinyue swallowed the food in her mouth slowly, then threw it over lightly and said: "This is Jinzhu Garden."
This sentence has been very obvious, but Xiaoqiu doesn't know how to restrain it at all, and even doesn't buy it.
In her opinion, in the future, the entire Houfu will be occupied by second wives, and it is still unclear whether Shen Xinyue can marry Lu Zhong.
"This servant was given to the young master by the second lady. You have no right to deal with me."
Shen Xinyue looked at Xiaoli who was not far away: "Xiaoli, go and tell the second lady exactly what happened just now."
Xiaoli's heart trembled uncontrollably: "Girl, Xiaoqiu was confused for a moment, please forgive her this time."
Seeing that she didn't move, Shen Xinyue chuckled and said, "Is it because I haven't entered the Lu family yet, so I'm not even qualified to instruct you?"
Xiaoli knew that Shen Xinyue was really angry.
"Slave, slave..."
They are slaves, and Shen Xinyue is still his master no matter what. Ge Shi will definitely not offend Shen Xinyue because of them.
