Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 363 The Runaway Princess is Forcibly Taken Away (12)

The capital, the royal residence.

Following the maid's directions, the tutor, Madam Hu, surveyed the hastily acquired residence, her eyes filled with scrutiny.

If she were to arrange it, all the decorations would need to be replaced, or at least the style should be consistent and complementary.

It's still too superficial; the wealthy families of Jiangnan ultimately lack some depth and substance.

Mr. Hu quietly reviewed the teaching plan and added an extra subject: appreciation.

"Miss, someone from the palace has arrived." The maid spoke very carefully, her voice barely audible, causing Aunt Hu to frown once again.

"Please wait a moment, Auntie. Miss is still washing up." Another maid came out from the inner room, her tone respectful but her expression neither servile nor arrogant.

"It's already this late, isn't that a bit improper?"

"Auntie is right, it is our fault."

"If that's the case, then you..."

"Please come in, young lady!"

Just as Madam Hu was about to punish the maids, she was forcefully interrupted, and her dissatisfaction grew. Especially when she entered and saw Wang Meisi, the future wife of the fourteenth prince, she didn't even give her a second glance.

even,

It's hard to see any respect for Consort Yi.

Lady Hu was so angry that she wanted to return to the palace and report to the Empress that this person was completely useless.

However, the rule was set that she would have to reply every three days, leaving her with no choice but to suppress her anger and teach him.

The two were fighting like cats and dogs.

After the imperial decree of marriage was issued, Wang Meisi completely stopped pretending.

He wasn't a very good person to begin with, and it was only because he fell in love at first sight with the fourteenth prince, Chunyu Xi, that he was willing to get involved in the royal family's mess.

In particular, after she arrived in the capital, she also discovered a lot of palace secrets. Consort Yi did not treat this son as her own at all, seeing him only a few times a year, and she favored her eldest son.

Chunyu Xi especially cared for his mother, the Imperial Concubine Yi, and constantly tried to please her. He would send all the rewards he received and the military achievements he made to her first.

Even so, I still didn't get a kind look.

Wang Meisi was so angry she almost laughed! Out of curiosity, she also inquired about the inside story of the Fourth Prince's residence. It turned out that the women in their household, especially the principal wife, were practically a thorn in the side of Consort Yi.

Not only was there no respect, but they also suffered physical and mental punishment.

Thus, seeing the picky attitude of the tutor sent by Consort Yi, one knew that something was completely wrong.

After discussing it with those around her, she realized that even if the Shu family's daughter obeyed, she would not gain their approval.

Wang Meisi decided to resist resolutely.

She must make the other person pay, and also make sure she sees her abandoned and neglected son as a true treasure!

With two months until the wedding, she needs to make her stance clear.

Could the emperor really use the authority of the inner palace to prevent her from marrying Chunyu Xi? The imperial edict had already been issued; it was simply impossible.

......

Xia Mansion, Jilan Courtyard.

Like Wang's daughter, Xia Youmi also got an aunt, a move that disgusted everyone at the same time.

First of all,

A prince's concubines don't need anyone from the palace to teach them; they've already learned etiquette during the selection process.

Moreover, Xia Youmi only has ten days left before entering the manor, so arranging for instructors at this time clearly shows that they don't trust the rules of the Xia family.

Secondly,

The fact that the royal family, who were also assigned the same person, were unhappy about being granted the same title at the same time practically indicated that the Fourth Prince's princess was being treated the same as the Fourteenth Prince's principal wife.

This has generated a lot of hatred towards Xia Youmi.

At last,

The subordinate relationship between the fourth and fourteenth princes was emphasized again, so that relevant officials would not choose the wrong side.

When she learned that the Wang family were people directly appointed by the emperor, Consort Yi outwardly agreed with Chunyu Huai's words, thinking that they were barely a match for the Fourteenth Prince.

She harbored a hidden unease, worried that the emperor's excessive favoritism towards the Fourteenth Prince was paving the way for his future.

Although the Shu family is a long-established and prestigious family in the capital, its direct descendants are gradually dying out and it is slowly falling behind the pace of the court. At this critical juncture, giving the Fourteenth Prince a powerful in-law family is not a good thing.

If the fourth brother is eliminated, the manpower he painstakingly arranged will naturally be transferred to the fourteenth brother.

It's too easy on him. Since the relationship can't be repaired, Consort Yi doesn't want to see her rivals acting so arrogantly.

in this way,

Even while she was ill, she still managed to send two aunts to school.

If they don't need constant servants, then arrange for each of them to practice two days and nights.

Sending only one person is ultimately too easy to overlook.

Consort Yi's prediction was correct.

Aunt Man, who was with Xia Youmi, quickly dropped her airs and was overwhelmed by sweet talk.

When Aunt Man arrived, she was warmly received. Gold, silver and jade items were placed directly in the room. The prayer beads only said that the room belonged to Aunt Man and then said nothing more.

On the surface, Xia Youmi didn't offer her aunt any favors.

When Aunt Man forcibly suppressed her pounding heart and the corners of her mouth, preparing to straighten herself up for a moment and formally examine Miss Xia's manners, she was given a lesson by the young lady.

What constitutes deportment, sitting posture, and standing posture? Those are the most basic things.

Even when she was asked to recite a particular rule of the palace, the young lady answered fluently.

It was simply too perfect to be true. To be honest, even after her aunt tried her best, she couldn't find anything else she could teach Miss Xia.

At last,

With the comfort of the maids, he could only chat idly and while away the days.

At this time, the young lady would play the piano, paint, or read a book, behaving so properly that she didn't seem like a real person.

What else could Aunt Man do?

We can only observe carefully first, and then report the truthfully!

The people in the palace had their own precautions. In the three days before returning to the palace to report, Aunt Man did not touch a single piece of gold or silver in the room, nor did she let Xia Youmi out of her sight for too long.

Aside from private matters, the human surveillance device usually follows Xia Youmi.

However, with good food and drink, their attitude softened considerably. It was initially thought that the Xia family would take the opportunity to inquire about gossip in the palace or the Fourth Prince's harem. Aunt Man had even made up quite a few stories, but until her report to the palace, they hadn't discussed anything unusual with her.

Miss Xia's actions were flawless.

The only thing worth mentioning is that she's a bit dull, unlike her peers who are lively. When engrossed in her work, she doesn't pay any attention to the outside world.

They don't take the initiative to socialize and don't have any close friends from prominent families of the same age.

Aunt Man racked her brains but still managed to find some mistakes in Xia Youmi's case.

She knew very well that Consort Yi would not be happy to see a perfect princess.

unfortunately,

On the day of the report, the various incidents at the Xia residence still angered Consort Yi. She tried her best to endure it, not wanting to be caught by Chunyu Huai in the backyard, where she was dissatisfied with her future.

My body does feel a bit empty, even though Huai'er says they are already developing better medicine.

Consort Ke also had her dignity.

Chen Shi (7-9 AM)

Chunyu Huai appeared at Jinhe Palace. After the routine greetings, he saw Consort Yi summoning Lady Hu. She wanted to discuss the tutoring of Lady Wang in front of the Fourth Prince. This was a common practice between mother and son, arranging everything for the Fourteenth Prince.

Consort Yi enjoyed having someone accompany her in raising her child.

like,

The missing spot was filled.

Chunyu Huai didn't think that far ahead; he was used to worrying about his younger brother's affairs, big and small.

Since my mother doesn't want to see Chunyu Xi, I'll suffer a little myself; it's for the sake of both of us.

but,

Today is different.

Under Hu's furious and torrential rant, Consort Yi was so angry that she vomited blood on the spot.

She collapsed heavily into her son's arms, her body convulsing uncontrollably.

In an instant,

Dark clouds covered the area above Jinhe Palace.

The imperial physician, Qi Gui, Chunyu Xi, and Wang Meisi were all summoned to wait outside the palace.
