Hearing Jiang Qingwu say this, Wanyue immediately went to the closet and took out another cloak.

"Girl, Jiangjiu gave it to you the night Xing'er got into trouble."

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Qingwu immediately put the two cloaks together.

"Girl, this... is indeed a little different." Wanyue touched the two cloaks and said puzzledly.

Jiang Qingwu came back to his senses and said seriously, "It's not just a little different, it's very different."

"The previous one has auspicious cloud patterns and is made of top-grade white silk."

"And this one is just made of ordinary Qingyun silk, and the pattern is wrong."

"This Qingyun silk is expensive, but anyone can get it."

"And white silk is extremely difficult to produce, and there isn't much that arrives in the capital every year."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu looked at Wanyue and said, "Just like the floating cloud brocade I mentioned last time, it is very difficult to obtain unless you are a high-ranking official or a noble in the palace."

Wanyue listened carefully and understood something, but couldn't help but smile.

"Girl, although a lone ranger like him who hides his identity will not easily change his outfit."

"But this cloak is just made of different materials and has different patterns. It doesn't prove anything."

"You've worn my clothes so many times, can't I make a few more?"

Jiang Qingwu's heart skipped a beat, remembering seeing Jiang Jiu in the palace, and nodded with some recognition in his eyes.

"You're right. He's Yan Xiuchen's man. It's nothing for him to have a few pieces of floating cloud brocade and white silk."

"Maybe, I'll wear a few of them, and if I don't have any more, I can only make Qingyun silk ones."

Jiang Qingwu sat back down at the table as he spoke, but when he looked at the two cloaks on the table, he felt something was not right.

"Okay, okay, girl, don't think about it."

"What you need to study now is not this, but how to deal with the two teaching nuns tomorrow."

Jiang Qingwu was startled when he heard the voice, and turned to look at Wanyue, "Mammy? What mammy?"

Originally, the Queen Mother was not so quick to embarrass Jiang Qingwu.

But because Yan Xiuchen came to the palace in person and proposed to hold the engagement banquet and wedding ceremony as soon as possible, the Queen Mother was able to bring forward the plan.

The teaching nanny who came to Shunqing Marquis's mansion was personally selected and instructed by the Empress Dowager.

The two maids, Fengqin and Fengru, were not very old, probably in their thirties or forties at most.

Her attire was considered the best among the palace ladies.

One hand held a ruler, the other held a round fan.

The two men had cold eyes and expressionless faces. Even the four palace maids following behind them looked like they were not easy to mess with.

Jiang Qingwu's mother Su Su and Jiang Qingbai welcomed the two maids into Wutong Garden.

But as soon as he entered the yard, he saw Jiang Qingwu testing his knife.

"Girl, is this tassel okay? No, I have two more."

Wanyue was holding a tray and shouting at the side, completely unaware that the huge team had already arrived.

"Ahem..." Jiang Qingbai coughed lightly, reminding Wanyue and Jiang Qingwu.

Just as the two of them came to their senses, Nanny Fengqin rushed over briskly.

"Miss, you are not allowed to practice sword in the future." Fengqin bowed slightly as a salute and shouted as if giving an order.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the other person in confusion, then looked behind him before he reacted.

"Oh, it turns out that the teaching nanny has arrived. This... this is not a sword, it's a knife."

Having said that, Jiang Qingwu turned around and handed the knife to Wanyue.

The maid in the palace naturally didn't know anything about swords and her face was stunned.

Then he snatched the knife from Wanyue's hand, turned around and walked straight towards the green lake in the yard.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Wanyue shouted, but it was too late.

With a "plop", Jiang Qingwu's knife was thrown into the lake.

Jiang Qingwu frowned, and his expression immediately darkened.

"What are you doing? That knife is made of meteorite steel. There is only one in the world. You..."

Wanyue approached quickly, and then went to the lake without saying anything, "You guys, go and fish it out quickly."

Nanny Fengqin glanced at the busy people with contempt and turned back to Jiang Qingwu.

The Queen Mother must have sent him to intimidate her.

Those who come are not good, and those who are good don't.

If it comes, we must make the best of it. If the enemy comes, we will stop them; if the water comes, we will block it with earth.

there's always a solution to any problem.

Jiang Qingwu used all the words he could to comfort himself.

He took a deep breath, forced a smile on his face, and bowed his head slightly.

"Mammy is right. From now on, I won't practice sword anymore."

"This is what you are going to learn today, you can take a look at it first."

Nanny Fengru came forward and handed over a booklet.

After Jiang Qingwu turned over, his face turned pale layer by layer and his eyes widened little by little.

"Holding a fan, walking, the five etiquettes... the three obediences and four virtues, making soup and serving vegetables, knitting, words and deeds..."

Jiang Qingwu was reading the catalogue in amazement when Nanny Fengru handed over the round fan in her hand.

"Learn to hold a fan first."

"Hold the fan and walk around the yard. The fan pendant must not shake at all..."

Jiang Qingwu took the fan in a daze. Just as she was about to leave, Fengqin hit her hand with a ruler.

I couldn't help but scream out in pain, "Ah... it hurts!"

"You are holding the fan incorrectly. There are three types of fanning etiquette: holding the fan, fanning with your hands, and fanning from a distance..."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the fan in his hand in surprise, touched the back of his hand, and swallowed secretly.

Just one fan, so many rules?

Forget it, I can bear it!

In the distance, Jiang Qingbai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Qingwu being so obedient, which was unusual for him, and gestured to Su Su standing beside him.

"Mother, Ah Wu can handle it by himself. There is no use for us to be here."

"If mother is really worried, son will come and check on her later."

Su Su looked at Jiang Qingwu walking back and forth in the distance with a fan in his hand, and sighed helplessly.

"This girl has always been unruly, but now she wants to learn these things..."

"I think we're going to suffer."

Su Su walked out, shaking her head.

Before Jiang Qingbai left, he looked back again.

Seeing Nanny Fengqin holding a ruler and hitting the back of Jiang Qingwu's hand mercilessly, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

……

At that time, the Regent's Palace.

Yan Xiuchen knew that the teaching nanny sent by the Queen Mother would definitely make things difficult for Jiang Qingwu.

So early in the morning, he thought about going to Shunqing Marquis' Mansion to support her.

But as soon as he left Beiyuan, he was greeted by two beautiful maids.

Although they are called maids, it is said that both of them are daughters of the Empress Dowager's mother's family.

He also specifically said that they had to serve him closely, which made it clear that he wanted them to be maids in the bedroom.

"Your servant Hongluan..."

"Your servant Tianyue..."

"See Your Highness!"

Seeing the two people blocking their way, Yan Xiuchen's face suddenly darkened, "No need to be polite, get out of the way."

The two men stood up slightly, but showed no intention of giving way.

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother wants us to accompany Your Highness today... to the palace to pay our respects."

Yan Xiuchen raised his cold eyes slightly, his pupils narrowed with a dangerous sharpness.

Seeing this, Jiu Han on the side shouted coldly, "It is none of your business how His Highness acts."

Hearing the voice, the two of them immediately knelt down and said, "I dare not."

"If you don't want to die, get out of the way." Yan Xiuchen's voice was cold and his eyes were indifferent.

"Your Highness, spare your life."

"We are ordered to serve Your Highness. If we do not obey the Queen Mother's wishes, we will die. Please give us a chance to live."

Yan Xiuchen's eyes were cold and scornful, "Your life or death has nothing to do with this king..."

Having said that, Jiu Han was about to push Yan Xiuchen away, but the two men hurriedly knelt down to block the way.

"Your Highness...Your Highness promised the Queen Mother that he would follow her wishes. If he angers her..."

"Your Highness is getting married to Miss Jiang soon. If the Queen Mother objects, the marriage will inevitably be in turmoil again."

"Your Highness, please think twice."
