The useless princess is causing trouble again

Chapter 68: Nanny Yuan Comes to the Door

In the main courtyard, Shangguan Wei looked at Tian Xing'er's back and tapped the small square table with her left hand rhythmically. Then she stopped, turned her head and looked at Situ Chong standing not far away, and asked meaningfully, "My husband has a good eye for the maids he selected. They are also very pretty, especially the one named Tian Xing'er."

Situ Chong walked to Shangguan Wei's side and sat down, holding her on his legs, and said with a smile, "Your husband's vision is naturally good, otherwise how could I marry such a beautiful woman like you."

"Humph! You can only talk nonsense, but you haven't answered my question directly."

Situ Chong sniffed Shangguan Wei's scent, then smiled heartily, "Madam, you are so jealous, but you have wronged me. I did not select the maids, but officials sent them to the palace when I was away. Butler Li selected a few with good character and kept them. Their looks are not half as good as yours. As for Tian Xing'er, she is the daughter of Nanny Yuan, who was my mother's personal maid. She once saved my life, so I took them in."

Shangguan Wei rolled her eyes, "Madame Yuan is the maid of my mother. She is the old lady who has watched you grow up. Will she force you to marry her daughter in return for her kindness?"

Situ Chong gently scratched Shangguan Wei's nose with his right hand, and remembered something. His eyes became deep, "Don't worry, Madam. I have repaid Madam Yuan's kindness in the past. She dared not make such a request. Besides, some things should have an answer." He grabbed Shangguan Wei's two moving hands and said in a very gentle tone, "It's late at night, let's not talk about them. Wait for me to help you bathe and then have dinner."

Shangguan Wei wanted to refuse, but when she looked up and saw Situ Chong's affectionate eyes, she said, "Okay, I'll follow my husband's arrangements."

"Madam is so good. I will do my best to please you."

Situ Chong smiled and carried Shangguan Wei sideways, walked around the screen, and headed for the artificial hot spring pool at the back.

……

The next morning, Ze Yi blew the whistle, and Situ Chong woke up from his sleep. He turned his head to look at Shangguan Wei who was sleeping soundly, bent down and kissed her on the forehead, then got up, dressed and left.

Situ Chong stood on the steps, wrung out the towel and wiped the water stains off his face, "Ayi, what's the urgent matter with you?"

Ze Yi lowered the copper basin he had raised in front of him. "Zheng Duwei and other officials learned that the master had returned and were waiting in the hall early in the morning. There are many official matters that need to be handled by the master."

Situ Chong put the wet towel back on the copper plate, "I understand, Ah Yi, please follow me." He looked at Ze Er with a squint and ordered, "Ah Er, stay here to guard the princess. Don't let anyone disturb her rest."

Ze Er bowed respectfully and said yes, then watched Situ Chong and Ze Yi leave.

The master always puts the princess first and hopes that no one will come to seek death.

Midday sun.

Shangguan Wei woke up slowly, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Taozi and the ghosts and monsters waiting on both sides. She got up and stretched, "Taozi, what time is it now? Why do I feel so hungry?" Her stomach immediately made a gurgling sound, and she stroked her belly with both hands.

Taozi covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Miss, it's lunch time, so you'll naturally feel hungry. I've already prepared some delicious food."

Shangguan Wei smiled with her eyes curved, "Hehe! Taozi understands me the best, I love you so much." As she said that, she turned over, jumped off the bed nimbly, and ran to the round red table barefoot.

"Miss, please put on your shoes. The ground is very damp."

Chi flashed to Shangguan Wei's side, bent down and put the shoes at her feet.

"Haha, Chi is so thoughtful."

Shangguan Wei put on her shoes with a smile, and when she looked up, she saw Mei holding a copper basin in both hands, saying with a serious expression, "Miss, please wash first, and then have lunch."

"Okay, okay, I'll wash it now."

Shangguan Wei wrung out the towel and wiped her face. There was a noisy sound coming from outside the door. The deep mezzo-soprano voice seemed to be coming to call for an explanation. She spoke to Ze Er and started to teach him a lesson. Ze Er rudely blocked the person from entering.

At the door of the wing room, Nanny Yuan led Tian Xing'er and three others to stand in front of the steps, looking superior.

"I have watched His Highness grow up, so why can't I see his princess? Er, don't stop me. There are some royal rules that must be followed. Could it be that she is even more arrogant than the queen? She thinks that she is arrogant because of His Highness's favor. She is just a country girl who doesn't know how to respect the elderly."

Ze Er stood in the middle of the doorway, "Madam Yuan, please don't embarrass me. The master has instructed that no one should disturb the princess."

Madam Yuan ignored Ze Er's attempts to stop her and forced her way through the door. "Humph! I am here to see the princess on behalf of the queen and teach her about etiquette and rules. Do you still want to stop me, Er Er?"

Ze Er drew out his long sword and held it in a line, "Madame Yuan, please stay. If you go any further, I will kill you."

Nanny Yuan's eyes widened with anger. "If Er-er has the guts, stab me to death. Otherwise, I will have to enter this room today."

When the two were in a stalemate, Wu appeared in front of the door and said indifferently, "A'er, let them go. The master said to let them in."

Alas, you are rushing to die, Ma Yuan, you should just wish yourself good luck!

Ze Er reluctantly put down his sword and moved to stand by the door. Wu turned around expressionlessly and walked into the room. Yuan Ma followed behind him with the support of Tian Xing'er, who had a smug smile on her face. Chunhua and Chunwan lowered their heads and walked cautiously at the back.

Madam Yuan and Tian Xing'er walked to the round table and saw the ruffian Shangguan Wei at first sight. She sat in a bold and unrestrained posture, her left leg shaking rhythmically, and her right leg stepping on the round stool next to her. She was chewing a chicken leg with her left hand, her eyes fixed on the bowl of porridge in front of her, and her right hand was tapping the soup spoon.

Taozi said with a serious face, "You bold servant, you didn't quickly pay your respects to the princess when you saw her. Do you want to slap her in the face?"

Shangguan Wei chewed the meat and said incoherently, "Don't embarrass the old lady, she is a laborer from the palace after all, she knows the order of respect and inferiority."

Humph! Such a vulgar woman, such a country bumpkin, really brings disgrace to the royal family.

Nanny Yuan swallowed a breath, shook off Tian Xing'er's hands, and kowtowed slightly, "This old servant greets Princess An. Your Highness was raised by this old servant since he was a child. Now that he has married the princess, it is natural for him to come and kowtow. By the way, I will also give the spirit of the queen in heaven a look and teach the princess the etiquette that a royal daughter-in-law should have."

Shangguan Wei threw the chicken bone in her hand onto the table and licked the corners of her mouth. "Oh, old nanny, you are thoughtful, but I am used to freedom and never pay attention to details. However, the prince spoils me. As for not learning the court etiquette, I believe that my well-educated mother will not mind."

Nanny Yuan's eyes darkened. "When she was alive, the queen was proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was the most famous talented woman in Kyoto and was deeply loved by the emperor. The princess is ignorant and arrogant. She has insulted the royal family and brought shame to His Highness. How can she be worthy of the title of Princess Sheng?"

Shangguan Wei held her chin with her right index finger. "What the old nanny said seems to make some sense. But unfortunately, the prince likes my personality, so the old nanny should stop worrying about it and stay in the courtyard to enjoy your old age."

Tian Xing'er was immediately furious, "Humph! How dare you speak to mother like that? Mother is Chong's wet nurse and she saved his life."

"Since you address me so intimately, does the old lady want to repay the favor by letting her daughter marry the prince?"

Shangguan Wei stood up, walked over to Aunt Yuan, sniffed it, and smiled, "Haha! It smells familiar, and it's a rare exotic flower. Does the old nanny have the habit of taking medicine for a long time?"

Nanny Yuan's expression suddenly changed. "I have never thought of repaying your kindness. Princess, please don't think too much. It's just that I saved your Highness from an illness when I was young, so I took this flower to treat my headache."

He kowtowed and said, "Since the princess is unwilling to learn the palace rules from me, it will be the princess who will suffer in the future. I will not disturb the princess while she is eating, and I will take my leave with them."

Shangguan Wei waved her hand gently, "Okay, you all can leave now."

Tian Xing'er stood still, wanting to say something but not being able to, staring at Shangguan Wei. Seeing this, Nanny Yuan hurried forward and pulled Tian Xing'er's sleeve, forcibly dragging her out. Chunhua and Chunwan respectfully stepped forward and kowtowed, then followed Nanny Yuan and left.

Shangguan Wei looked at the figure walking away, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose slightly.
