Early the next morning, Yun Zishu really slept until she woke up naturally. She didn't know when Sicang came back last night. After waking up, Sicang had already gone to work.
After freshening up, Yun Zishu asked: "Did the prince come back last night?"
"I have been back and slept in the side hall for less than two hours." Leng Yue inserted a jeweled hairpin in her temples, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came back late, and he ordered his subordinates not to disturb His Royal Highness the Princess's sleep."
Yun Zishu sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the bright-looking woman in the mirror, thinking quietly, okay, actually it is a little different from Dayong.
When Sicang was in Dayong, he was just the commander of the Shadow Pavilion. No matter how jealous the ministers were of him, they would not put too much energy on him, let alone think about how to deal with him.
The emperor in Cang's hands wanted to get rid of him, and others would not focus on Sicang at all.
After returning to Dongyou, Sicang became the crown prince. He was familiar with government affairs, summoned ministers, discussed matters with others, dealt with internal and external affairs of the prince's palace, and prepared for the wedding ceremony...all of it.
Things piled up one after another.
Thinking about staying by Yun Zishu's side all the time, it is obviously impossible.
"Your Highness Princess." Yue Ying walked in and bowed to Yun Zishu, "The prince asked you to have breakfast first, so you don't have to wait for him."
Yun Zishu turned around and saw that Yueying was followed by several serving maids. They walked to the dining table and put exquisite and delicious breakfast dishes on the table, including steamed dumplings, fried dumplings, soup dumplings, and steamed dumplings.
A small pot... pot?
Yun Zishu stood up and walked over, looking at the dazzling array of exquisite breakfasts on the dining table. In addition to some ordinary breakfasts and bird's nest porridge, a small pot was steaming, and small plates of shrimp meat were placed next to it.
, sliced meat, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, vegetables, fish fillets...
"This is hot pot." Yue Ying said respectfully, "Her Royal Highness the Princess can eat whatever she wants. There is no need to save for Your Highness the Prince."
Yun Zishu was silent for a long time. It wasn't that she wanted to save, but it was so much. How could she eat it by herself?
"Your Highness, Princess, would you like Miss Wu and others to come over for breakfast together?" Yue Ying asked respectfully, "Your Highness has just arrived at the Prince's Mansion. If you are not used to eating alone, I will ask someone to invite the four of them over."
Yun Zishu asked calmly: "How were the four of them last night?"
Yueying replied: "Nothing special happened. At first there was just a little dispute over the place to live, but Miss Gu quickly gave in and the dispute stopped."
Yun Zishu pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "Let them come over."
"yes."
Yueying went out to spread the word, and soon Granny Shi had someone call the four girls from Ruyi Courtyard.
As soon as he stepped into Qifeng Hall and saw the table full of food, Yun Baozhu was so jealous that his eyes turned red: "I also married from Dayong. The princess can live alone in the main courtyard, but the four of us have to squeeze in."
Together, Your Highness can enjoy this endless breakfast table, while we can only eat steamed buns and white porridge——"
"Miss Yun." Aunt Shi said with a gloomy expression as she stood aside and reminded, "Don't be presumptuous in front of Her Highness the Crown Princess."
Yun Baozhu blurted out: "Isn't it true that we haven't gotten married yet?"
"You are still engaged even if you are not married." Aunt Shi's tone was slightly displeased. "Besides, all the treatment the Crown Princess enjoys is in compliance with His Highness the Crown Prince's instructions. If Miss Yun is dissatisfied, she can protest to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Yun Baozhu was silenced by a nun, and her face turned blue and white.
"The Crown Princess has a distinguished status. The four girls should bow to the Crown Princess." Aunt Shi continued to teach the rules, "The Crown Princess allows you to have a meal together. You should be grateful to Her Highness the Crown Princess for her kindness, and strictly abide by the rules of respect and inferiority, and follow
When the Crown Princess speaks, her tone should be respectful, and she should not look directly at the Crown Princess blatantly. Her gaze should be slightly lowered, and she should have a standing posture when standing and a sitting posture when sitting. When the Crown Princess orders you to sit, you need to thank her and then sit upright. She orders you to kneel.
When it comes, you just kneel obediently and don't show any dissatisfaction, otherwise it will be disrespectful."
As she finished each word, Wu Jingyi and Yun Baozhu's faces gradually turned pale, looking at her in disbelief.
"The rules of the Prince's Mansion are very strict. No matter who it is, as long as it is disrespectful, the lightest punishment is to slap the mouth for twenty years." Aunt Shi didn't care about the looks they gave her, and ordered lightly, "Yue Ying."
"exist."
"Bring the bamboo board at the mouth of the palm and show it to the four girls."
"yes."
Yueying turned around and took out a bamboo board and handed it to Aunt Shi respectfully.
Aunt Shi took it and put it in front of the four people. The end of the bamboo board used to hit people was about the same size as an adult's hand. It was moderately wide and moderately thick. There was a handle at the end that was easy to hold: "This bamboo board is thick and can be used to palm the mouth."
The taste is also ecstasy, so girls, it’s best not to try it. If it ruins your pretty faces, I’m afraid you won’t be able to go out and meet people.”
Yun Baozhu was so angry that she was shaking all over: "I am the princess of Dayong County, and you, a slave, dare to treat me——"
"Princess Baozhu." Gu Qingyan frowned and turned to look at her, "This is Dongyou."
Yun Baozhu's expression froze, and he suddenly looked like a defeated rooster. His expression was extremely stiff and ugly, and he never said a word again.
Yun Zishu was sitting at the dining table, with a subtle and leisurely look on her face, listening to Aunt Shi's lecture with interest, and for a moment she felt a little strange.
In fact, this kind of admonishment scene is not uncommon in the Yong Palace, but Yun Zishu rarely watches from the sidelines. Generally, the inner houses of powerful families also have these rules. Most of them are used by the royal family to deal with concubines and concubines, but no matter it is
The mistress of the palace is also the head wife of a powerful family. In order to maintain the dignity and grace of her status, it is naturally impossible for her to set rules and discipline herself, so there are stewards, nannies and mothers to enforce them on her behalf.
Today, it was the first time that Yun Zishu, as the replaced "rightful owner", witnessed the scene of Aunt Shi training people. How should I put it, she felt indescribably happy.
Probably this is the reason why people in the world pursue power at all costs. Once your status reaches a certain level, you can easily control the life, death, honor and disgrace of others. You can deal with whoever you want, and you can deal with anyone you don't like... It sounds a bit dark.
, but this is indeed the case.
Yun Zishu sighed silently. She actually didn't like using power to bully others, but some people could only be suppressed by rules and means.
"There are not many rules to be taught today. I hope the four girls will take note of them." Aunt Shi knelt down and saluted Yun Zishu. "I will take my leave first without delaying Her Highness the Crown Princess's meal."
Yun Zishu hummed and raised her eyes to look at Gu Qingyan and the others: "Come and sit. Let's have breakfast together. Otherwise, we will have no chance to sit together in the future."
