As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall became tense.
Emperor Zhaoming was unhappy for no reason. What did this mean? Dongyou's envoy to welcome the bride actually brought two nuns to teach him. Did he think that Princess Dayong didn't understand etiquette and had no rules?
Of course, he was not unhappy with Yun Zishu, but he was dissatisfied with Dongyou's attitude towards Dayong. This was a clear sign that he did not take Dayong seriously.
After a moment of silence, he said: "The Yong Palace also has nuns who are responsible for teaching rules."
Before Huangfu Liyuan could speak, the nanny standing at the end had already spoken in a low voice: "The queen has an explanation. She wants the old slaves to inform Princess Dayong in advance about some of the rules of the Dongyou royal family."
Emperor Zhaoming smiled lightly: "During this period, the princess has been learning the rules, and she doesn't dare to neglect them."
"The rules of Dayong and Dongyou are slightly different." Nanny Yan said, her tone was extremely strong, "I hope His Majesty the Emperor will learn from it."
Emperor Zhaoming felt depressed in his heart, but he still had to force a smile: "In that case, I'll bother you two nuns."
Aunt Yan didn’t even dare to say anything.
A grand state banquet had been arranged in Chongyang Hall. Emperor Zhaoming called for the envoys to move to Chongyang Hall, and the two nuns were led out of the palace by the chamberlain to the princess's mansion.
"Shouldn't the princess who has not left the palace live in the palace? Why is Dayong's princess so special that she can live alone outside the palace?" Aunt Yan's expression was serious, her tone was stern, and she asked in a cold and questioning tone, "This
What is the appropriate behavior?"
The little eunuch who led the way quickly smiled humbly: "Her Royal Highness the Princess has been granted the title of Princess of the Kingdom a long time ago. She has her own independent mansion. It is normal for her to live outside the palace."
Of course he would not tell them that the princess was once left to die outside the palace by the emperor because she was too unpopular. She was even given a marriage, but the marriage has now been annulled. The princess even dared to divorce her husband.
, what’s the point of just living outside the palace?
"As a princess, you should live outside the palace?" Yan Yan's expression darkened, and her voice became a little more stern. "The princess is a princess, and the prince is a prince. How can they be compared? Even if a princess has a title, she should live outside the palace.
In the palace."
The little eunuch was speechless and could only laugh: "You are right."
The few Imperial Guardsmen responsible for the escort looked ahead, pretending not to hear the nun's over-the-top attitude.
"The queen ordered us to come together to teach the future princess the rules. This decision is indeed right." Aunt Yan got on the carriage and kept talking along the way. "The princess of Dayong doesn't understand the rules of women's three obediences and four virtues at all. She is alone.
Living outside the palace means meeting men at any time, which is inconsistent with etiquette. Is the protection between men and women so lax in Dayong?"
"We have to set off on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. Within three days, we must let the princess understand the rules of giving and receiving and not being intimate with each other. Women should never leave the house or leave the house, strictly abide by the rules and dogmas, familiarize themselves with the three obediences and four virtues, and learn to be cautious in their words and deeds...
"
"Since we came here in compliance with the Queen's decree, we must fulfill our teaching responsibilities and must not be negligent or perfunctory."
"After Princess Dayong gets married, she will become the Crown Princess of Dongyou, and she will also be the queen of the mother-in-law world in the future. She must be dignified and elegant, understand etiquette, know how to advance and retreat, and lead by example in order to discipline the backyard..."
The carriage drove all the way to the princess's mansion. The two nuns were sitting in the carriage, talking to each other in a serious tone with a bit of dissatisfaction, and even a bit of accusation.
The little eunuch kept looking at his nose and heart, and really didn't know how to talk to each other, so the two nuns chatted non-stop while sitting in the carriage.
The carriage drove all the way to the gate of the Princess's Mansion.
Butler Cheng opened the door and saw the Forbidden Army personally escorting the two strange nannies. Questions appeared in his eyes. After Nanny Yan haughtily stated her intention, her expression suddenly became a little subtle.
"Two nuns, please come in." Butler Cheng raised his hand and shouted in a loud voice, "The two nuns from Dongyou are asking to see Her Royal Highness the Princess. Go and inform her immediately."
Aunt Yan frowned: "You are responsible for leading the way. We can just go to see the princess by ourselves. There is no need to mobilize troops."
It happened that they went to see what the legitimate princess was doing.
"The princess lives alone in the mansion on weekdays. In her free time, she usually stays in the study, writing and painting. Ordinary people are not allowed to disturb her without permission." Butler Cheng said with a smile, "So we must report it, otherwise the princess will be blamed, and the servants will have to
Get punished."
Aunt Yan glanced at him: "The princess has very strict rules?"
"Your Highness the Princess is approachable, but there should be some rules in the house, otherwise wouldn't it be chaos?" Butler Cheng said calmly, "The master is the master, and the servants are servants. If the master doesn't have any authority, he will be indulged.
People climb to the top and dominate, and if things go on like this, they develop the temper of being a slave, and it will be difficult to correct them."
Aunt Yan is also a popular person in front of the queen in the Dongyou royal family. She is used to being bossy and arrogant. She is also a good person and obedient. How can she not understand the meaning of Butler Cheng's words now?
She smiled sinisterly: "The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, the housekeeper should know what this means, right?"
"Of course I know." Steward Cheng nodded, "But this is just a metaphor. After all, no matter how powerful the seventh-grade official is, the master can replace him at any time, but the master is still the master."
Aunt Yan seemed unwilling to argue with him, so she said coldly: "The chief steward next to the emperor should be the person who has served the emperor the longest. He understands the emperor's preferences and temperament. He has not committed the unforgivable crime."
Do you think the emperor will easily replace the general manager around him if he is guilty?"
"probably not."
"The chief steward next to the emperor is also a servant, but the prince, princess and concubines all have to respect him because he is the person closest to the emperor." Nanny Yan tilted her head with a mocking look on her face, "Butler
You should understand what I mean, right?"
Butler Cheng really understands this truth, not only today, but also in the past.
What Grandma Yan said is right, but this idea is wrong.
Even the chief steward around the emperor must maintain a humble attitude if he wants to always be trusted.
The prince respects him, how dare he be disrespectful to the prince? When he develops the desire to oppress his master with the slave family, death is not far away.
But Butler Cheng felt there was no need to remind her on this point, "Mommy is absolutely right."
Seeing this, Mammy Yan thought she had the upper hand, and a smug sneer flashed in her eyes. Dongyou was more powerful than Dayong. The fact that Prince Dongyou wanted to marry the legitimate princess of Dayong gave them great face. She and Mammy Li
The mother-in-law came all the way to teach the princess the etiquette according to the Queen's order. It was the mother-in-law who set the rules for her future daughter-in-law, but she didn't believe that the princess dared to resist.
If she really dares to resist and disobey, she will definitely add insult to injury and tell the Queen to see how the Queen teaches her a lesson after she returns to Dongyou.
"Steward Cheng." Leng Yue walked out of Qifeng Palace and glanced at the two nuns with a smile on her face, "These two are Aunt Yan and Aunt Li from Dongyou? Her Royal Highness the Princess is writing in the study, please.
The two nuns will sit in the pavilion for a while, have a cup of tea and rest."
Aunt Yan's face changed, and her tone became serious: "Please, please, please come here now, Your Royal Highness."
"Do you have an urgent matter?" Leng Yue smiled lightly, "Usually no one is allowed to disturb the princess when she is practicing calligraphy. Once Her Highness has finished practicing the calligraphy for today, she will come out naturally. Please be patient, two nuns.
