Gu Yaoruo glanced at Chu Yunfei, who nodded imperceptibly.
"After drinking your tea today, we will all be sisters of the East Palace from now on. Our duty is to serve the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. We must understand the rules of respect and humility at all times and be humble and cautious. Otherwise, we will make a wrong step, otherwise I will replace the Crown Prince. The concubine will enforce the family law." Gu Yaoruo drank the tea and gave a warning in a pretentious manner. Seeing that Chen Jinyi's face could not be more stiff, he said the last words with compassion, "You can get up."
Chen Jinyi stiffly thanked him, stood up and stood aside.
Chen Linxue looked less tolerant than Chen Jinyi, with dissatisfaction and humiliation reflected on her face. Although she was a lady, she was obviously not a lady who had been wronged. The first test was a bit unbearable.
With her sister serving tea in front of her, she only had to go through the process, but this process was really humiliating for her.
Holding back his anger, after listening to the lecture from the Crown Princess and the two so-called sisters, Chen Linxue almost wanted to snatch the tea from the tray and throw it in their faces to wipe away their self-righteousness and arrogance.
But she still has some sense, knowing that although the Queen Mother is the patron, the real person in charge of the palace is not the Queen Mother.
If they are accused of the following crimes, even if the Queen Mother protects them, they will inevitably be punished.
"You two will live in Changding Hall and Changqiu Hall for the time being. Aunt Lu will arrange maids to serve you." Chu Yunfei said calmly, "His Royal Highness is busy with affairs. If there is nothing important, please do not disturb him. If you cause trouble, If the prince is displeased, no one can save you."
Chen Jinyi and Chen Linxue bowed their heads in response.
I can endure the humiliation of serving tea, so I won't start a fight with her over a few words now.
Chen Linxue thought coldly in her heart, what's the point of enduring humiliation for a moment? Isn't it because Chu Yunfei was so eager to show off to them because she was worried that they would threaten her?
The more she behaves like this, the less confident she becomes.
How difficult can it be to deal with a princess who lacks confidence?
Chen Jinyi and Chen Linxue had almost the same idea, especially when they thought that their backer was the Queen Mother, while Chu Yunfei was just a princess without any background. It was said that her father had a low official position and was demoted by the emperor.
This shows that she is not the emperor's favorite daughter-in-law. They can tolerate the temporary humiliation and have the opportunity to seek justice sooner or later.
After the two left, Gu Jieyu and Gu Yaorao stood up quickly: "Princess, is what I just said okay?"
Chu Yunfei nodded: "Very good. You should go and rest too."
"Yes." The two of them excused themselves.
Chu Yunfei sat alone for a while and then ordered someone to call Lu Jun, the deputy commander of the East Palace Guards: "No one is allowed to enter or leave the East Palace at will except me and the prince. Even if the Queen Mother comes, she must report to me first."
Lu Jun responded respectfully: "I humbly accept my order."
…
The main palace of the East Palace is Changxin Palace, and the front palace, Changle Palace, is where the prince and officials handle court affairs. Women are not allowed to trespass at will.
Chu Yunfei lives in Changxin Palace, the main palace of Changxin Palace.
Changding Hall and Changqiu Hall were supposed to be the residences of concubines, but Rong Cang did not have any concubines for the time being. For the sake of her own peace of mind, Chu Yunfei temporarily gave these two halls to Gu Jieyu and Gu Yaorao. .
The Chen sisters lived in the two halls, and from now on, nothing they said or did could escape the sight of Gu Jieyu and Gu Yaoruo.
It was up to the two of them to deal with the Chen sisters, and Chu Yunfei didn't look at them and didn't worry about them.
After walking out of Changxin Hall, Chen Linxue whispered: "Sister, are we just going to give in?"
"Otherwise, what else can we do?" Chen Jinyi frowned, "The Crown Princess is the Crown Prince's wife. We should have served tea when we entered the East Palace, so she is not bullying us."
It's just to give them a kick in the ass.
Chen Linxue gritted her teeth gloomily: "But we are from the Chen family, and she doesn't take the Queen Mother and the Chen family seriously at all."
"Isn't this better?" Chen Jinyi smiled coldly, "The more she behaves like this, the more dissatisfied the Queen Mother will be with her. If anything happens in the future, she will not blame us for dealing with her. She will bring it upon herself."
Chen Linxue was startled, then nodded slowly: "Sister is right. I didn't expect the Crown Princess to be such a fool, so helpless. I really don't know how she got the position of Crown Princess."
"Don't underestimate the enemy too much." Chen Jinyi's eyes darkened slightly and she reminded lightly, "The prince still has no concubines. The two girls from the Gu family have been with him for so long and don't even have a title. No one knows what the reason is. It’s better to be careful.”
"Yes." Chen Linxue nodded, then became displeased, "Are we really going to compete like prostitutes in front of the prince for favor in the future?"
Chen Jinyi scolded: "Serving the prince is our duty, don't say it so harshly."
"You two ladies, the front is the Changqiu Palace. You two should separate here." Nanny Lu came over with the two palace maids, "Please Miss Jinyi follow me, and Miss Linxue follow them to the Changding Palace."
Chen Jinyi gave her sister a look, telling her to be patient and patient, and then followed Grandma Lu to the Changqiu Hall.
However, when they arrived at the Changqiu Hall on the west side, Chen Jinyi realized that someone was already living here.
"Miss Jieyu lives in the Changqiu Hall, and Miss Jinyi also lives here, so we can take care of her." Nanny Lu said, "I just have to let Miss Jinyi live in the side hall for the time being. If I don't understand anything in the future, Wherever you go, you can find Miss Jieyu."
Chen Jinyi was accompanied by two maids. One of the maids said dissatisfiedly: "My girl is from the Queen Mother's family, a noble daughter of the Chen family in Jingxi. How can the Crown Princess treat her so harshly and humiliate her? If the Queen Mother finds out, how should the Crown Princess explain? "
Nanny Lu's eyebrows turned cold, and she raised her hand and slapped her: "How presumptuous! A little maid dares to arrange the crown prince's concubine. Who gave you the courage?"
"Mommy." Chen Jinyi looked unhappy, "It also depends on the owner when beating a dog——"
Nanny Lu said sternly: "The only owners of the East Palace are the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. I hope Miss Jinyi understands."
Chen Jinyi's expression changed, she couldn't help but clasped her hands, lowered her head and said: "The maid made a mistake because I, the master, didn't teach her well. Please be patient with me. I will teach her the rules in the future."
Nanny Lu snorted coldly: "Miss Jieyu is in charge of the Changqiu Palace for the time being. If you have anything, you can ask her for advice."
Chen Jinyi bit her lip to hold back her embarrassment and anger. She thought she was here to be the master, but she didn't expect that even a slave could talk coldly to her.
The East Palace is under the management of the Crown Princess, and there are indeed no rules at all.
