The small flower hall used for entertaining guests in Qishuang Pavilion is elegantly decorated and full of scholarly atmosphere.
It's a pity that outsiders have never been welcomed here, and even the number of times the owner has set foot there is only a handful.
But in the Duke's Mansion, the little flower hall for serious ladies should be the place where they should come and stay most often besides the study room.
This is simply because everyone's disciplinarians have to teach the ladies etiquette and how to treat others since they were young.
But look here...
Although Nanny Feng had been to Qishuang Pavilion several times, the eldest princess did not give the teaching responsibility to her as requested by the old lady, but instead gave it to Zhou. Therefore, she was very disgusted and taboo about this small flower hall, and today was the first time she entered it.
After wandering around in disgust, looking at everything that was new and dazzling, she became more and more scornful, and the disdain on her face and eyes became even more undisguised.
After seeing enough, Nanny Feng snorted, turned around, walked up to sit down, and glanced at the picture screen next to her.
As Aunt Feng, she was directly promoted to her confidant and right-hand man after arriving at the princess's residence. How could she misunderstand such an obvious hint?
Before Nanny Feng could sit firmly, Huaping rushed out of the door with orders, and the little maid on duty in the corridor shouted angrily:
"Are all the people in Qishuang Pavilion so unruly? Grandma has been waiting here for a long time, and no one knows how to bring a cup of hot tea to the guest?"
In fact, it's not that Qi Shuangge's attendants don't know how to treat guests. But every time Grandma Feng visits this place, she will definitely punish the servants for various reasons, or she may have various "reasons" for punishing people.
Therefore, in the absence of orders from the superior, naturally no one wants to get into trouble at this time.
Mei Lan, who was assigned the important task for the first time, has been keeping an eye on the situation from an inconspicuous place outside the door. Based on past experience and adhering to the principle that doing more is worse than doing less, she let this situation go.
Who knew that the other party would use this to deliberately find trouble?
The moment she heard this, Mei Lan hesitated for a moment, then immediately walked into the room.
"Mother Feng, hello."
After saluting according to the rules of the house, she raised her head and said with a sweet smile:
"Aunt Feng and Aunt Zhou are the right-hand men of the eldest princess, and naturally they are distinguished guests of Qishuang Pavilion, so I asked someone to prepare good tea. Please wait a moment, and the princess is coming soon..."
Huaping had been secretly watching her master's face. When she noticed a slight frown between her eyebrows, as if she was impatient, she immediately took a step forward, raised her hand, and waved her palm, all in one movement.
"Snapped!--"
Mei Lan only felt the figures in front of her shaking, and after a strong wind, a very clear sound of slaps on flesh exploded in her ears. Her whole body was also whipped, and she staggered around half a circle.
Because he didn't have time to dodge, the slap was a real slap on his face.
In addition to the heat and numbness, Mei Lan felt her ears buzzing, her eyes flashing with golden light, and her feet were almost unable to stand due to dizziness.
Amidst the rumbling, I could vaguely hear the person in front of me, as if separated by water, the muffled voice sneered and mocked:
"Who do you think you are? You dare to talk cleverly in front of grandma, and you want to use the princess to suppress her? You are a little hooves blinded by lard..."
But before the screen could be scolded, a cold drink suddenly came from outside the door.
"Who is it?! Dare to make noise and make trouble in my Qishuang Pavilion and say evil words!"
The room fell silent for a moment, and all three pairs of eyes turned to the source of the sound. The person coming at the door was Princess Danyang.
Huaping is still frightened by what happened last time.
When Danyang's eyes were coldly glanced at him, his calves immediately twitched like a muscle, and he immediately looked away.
But the next breath, I remembered that my master, Nanny Feng, was beside me. She straightened her back instantly and dared to look at the cold gaze.
But at this time, Danyang had already met Nanny Feng's eyes, and invisible sparks seemed to be exploding in the air. Zizhu pulled Mei Lan aside and used a handkerchief dipped in water to apply cold compress to her swollen side face.
In the tense atmosphere, Danyang was the first to break the silence.
"Mammy usually manages her subordinates well, so the person who hit me in Qishuang Pavilion with a painting screen was ordered by grandma? Was he demonstrating to me?"
Having said this, Danyang smiled coldly.
"Or should I say, the person I want to hit is me?"
The moment Grandma Feng heard this, her pupils shrank suddenly, but her face remained solemn. She stood up and said relaxedly:
"What nonsense are you talking about, Princess? I came here despite my busy schedule just to remind the Princess. Don't forget your appointment with the First Lady tomorrow. The most important thing is not to keep the Old Lady waiting for you early in the morning. This is not only detrimental to filial piety, but also tarnishes the reputation of you, the Princess’s Mansion, and the Duke’s Mansion.”
At this point, Nanny Feng passed by Danyang.
"As for teaching this little maid a lesson, it's just that she doesn't understand the rules and how to treat guests, so I will teach the princess a lesson."
Confusing right and wrong, Nanny Feng didn't even blink when she said it, let alone look at the person being slandered or the owner of Qishuang Pavilion in Danyang.
When she was about to step out of the room, Nanny Feng added without looking back:
"By the way, since I have to return to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow, it's a good time to set off early to greet the old lady and enter into the friendship of long-term servants. The princess still follows the rules and goes out after the hour. Don't be too late or too late. morning."
Danyang never moved, nor did he want to speak, until this moment——
"Oh, it turns out that Grandma Feng has always missed the old lady of the Duke's Mansion so much. Yes, that's right. Grandma even wears the old lady's old bracelets as gifts. She cherishes them so much. It is indeed a deep love between master and servant. .”
Aunt Feng was stepping in and out of the door.
When she heard this, she froze instantly. He subconsciously raised his hand to protect the bracelet on the other wrist, which had been rubbed out of pulp.
But before she could turn around and say another word, Danyang's clear laughter came from behind.
"Mom, go ahead. There are some trivial matters in the house that I cannot do without you. We will see you at the Duke's house tomorrow."
Because what Danyang had said before when he accused her was either big or small, Nanny Feng really didn't want to get involved with this wild girl at the moment. After hearing this, she hesitated for a moment and immediately sped up her feet and left quickly.
Zizhu glared at the back of Grandma Feng's master and servant several times, and didn't look away until Danyang called her.
"You send someone to ask for a doctor. You don't have to go through public accounts. It's too long and troublesome. If the second door refuses and no outsiders are allowed in, remember to send one of the four people I brought back to accompany Mei Lan to see the doctor."
"Yes, Princess."
Zizhu responded very quickly, while Mei Lan was stunned for a moment, then her eyes became moist, "Master..."
Danyang waved his hand and dismissed the two of them, then stood by the window to watch the scenery. But a pair of bright eyes were unfocused, as if all the spring sunshine in the courtyard had not entered their eyes.
After Zizhu made the arrangements, she quickly returned to the Little Flower Hall. Before she could reach Princess Danyang, she sighed with disapproval and advised:
"Princess Princess, you and Aunt Feng are on the same level right now. We must not give you the truth tomorrow. I think you'd better push back on your appointment with Captain Han!"
Danyang came back to his senses and smiled sideways.
While squinting his eyes and squinting at the threshold that the master and servant of Grandma Feng deliberately crossed, he said leisurely:
"Take one step and take a look. The boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. Oh, by the way, tomorrow, after Aunt Feng leaves, we will leave the mansion again and remember to ask me to give orders to the soldiers. No one is allowed to enter the princess mansion."
At the moment, her strength can only take care of one side.
But when you can only do one thing well, but you have to do it both ways, that's either arrogant or stupid.
The moment Zizhu heard this, she always felt that her princess seemed to be confident?
When she thought about this, she immediately clapped her hands and said with a smile:
"My slave knows this. You must have thought of some strategy that can take care of both sides, right?"
When Danyang heard this, he felt dumbfounded.
But after taking a deep breath, she picked up Zizhu and went straight to the bedroom, saying:
"Come on, instead of thinking about what you don't have, why don't you help me look through my clothes to see what I can wear tomorrow?"
