I married the crippled queen and became the most favored queen in the capital

June 9th

In the early morning, there was a knock on the door. Luo Nianxi covered her head with the quilt in annoyance, turned over and prepared to continue sleeping, but there was a shout from outside.

"Princess, it's time to get up."

princess?

This title suddenly made her realize that she was now Princess Yan. She had traveled through time and space, and she could no longer sleep in like she did in her previous life.

She sat up, rubbed her eyes, and went to open the door.

Chuntao and several maids stood outside, bowing respectfully.

"Princess, we will help you wash up, and then we will go to the palace to pay our respects to the Emperor and the Empress."

Luo Nianxi frowned.

"Put the water in the house, and all of you go down!"

A girl replied:

"This is against the rules of Prince Yan's Mansion. Let the servants serve you."

"What about the prince? Who serves him?"

The girl returned,

"The prince has four personal guards. While he is bedridden, he will not see anyone else except them."

At this moment, four guards in black came towards them. They came to Luo Nianxi, clasped their hands together, bowed, and

"See Princess."

Luo Nianxi looked them up and down. These four men were strong and seemed to have extraordinary skills.

"Well, you are the prince's guards? What are your names?"

The four people replied in turn:

"My name is Ling Xiao."

(Character profile: Twenty years old, the most diligent among the group, not scheming, and good at using hidden weapons.)

"Your subordinate is Ling Yun."

(Character profile: He is 19 years old, simple and honest, loves to talk, and is best at using a broadsword.)

"Your subordinate is Su Yi."

(Character profile: Age 23, this person is the smartest, has a cold personality, is very cunning, and is the leader of several people. He is also trusted by Leng Yiyan and is good at using poison and arrows.)

"Your subordinate is Jiang Hai."

(Character profile: 18 years old, the youngest among the group, likes to joke, and has great kung fu skills.)

Hearing the names of these four people, Luo Nianxi pointed at Ling Xiao and Ling Yun and asked:

“Are you brothers?”

"Yes, the four of us are the prince's personal guards."

"Well, very good. From now on, you don't have to serve the prince anymore. I can't be the Princess of Yan for nothing..."

The four guards looked at each other, and Ling Xiao clasped his fists and said:

"Princess, this matter still needs to be reported to the prince..."

It can be seen from the looks of these four people that they do not trust her.

She didn't get angry and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, go in and ask Prince Yan for instructions!"

She didn't believe that he would be an ungrateful person.

She then looked at the girls.

"Go to the side room and do my makeup for me, so as not to disturb the prince's sweet dreams."

After saying this, she walked towards the ear room with a free and easy pace.

Several maids in the mansion quickly changed Luo Nianxi into formal clothes for entering the palace, put on exquisite makeup for her, and put on various intricate jewelry.

When everything was ready, the girl Xiaoyu whispered to her,

"Princess, Nanny Liu is waiting for you outside. She will teach you some palace etiquette before taking you into the palace!"

"I see…"

Chun Tao bowed and whispered in her ear,

"Princess, when you meet Aunt Liu later, please...please be polite..."

Hearing Chuntao's hesitation, Luo Nianxi frowned, while the maid Xiaochun nodded and reminded him,

"Madame Liu is someone close to the Queen. After the Prince was seriously injured, she came to Prince Yan's Mansion to take care of all matters. She is of noble status and is equivalent to half the master of Prince Yan's Mansion. Since you are new here, it is better for you to get along well with her."

Another girl followed suit.

"The Queen trusts Madam Liu very much. Even Steward Lu has to bow and scrape when he sees Madam Liu. She doesn't take us little girls seriously at all."

"Well, last time, because I left some water stains on the table when I was wiping it, she ordered someone to spank me ten times. My butt is still hurting now."

"Yeah, she pinched me last time because I poured too much hot tea..."

"And Xiao Cui, she follows Madam Liu around all day long, making her happy so that she doesn't have to do any rough work."

"That's right. She is just like us, a maid. Why should she not do anything but let us serve her?"

Listening to these girls complaining to each other, Nian Xi's brows were twisted into a knot.

A maid actually dared to stir up trouble in Prince Yan's mansion. It seems that she really has someone in the court to help her become an official.

But she couldn't just listen to one side of the story, she had to meet the nanny in person.

Thinking of this, she stretched out her hand, and Chuntao hurried over to help her up.

As she walked slowly outside, she whispered:

"Since this Madam Liu is so powerful, I, a newcomer to the mansion, should go and see it for myself."

Chun Tao lowered her voice and carefully instructed,

"Princess, I have already inquired about it. This Madam Liu is very difficult to get along with. She doesn't take anyone seriously. If she scolds you when you meet her later, you should say less. Don't let her complain about you to the Queen when you enter the palace."

"I see."

Although she agreed verbally, she was still a little annoyed.

Is it possible that as an official princess, she still has to bow and nod to a nanny?

After she came out of the side room in the backyard, she walked through a corridor and went straight to the front yard.

At this time, Madam Liu was waiting in the yard with a few maids. When she saw her coming out, she first frowned in disdain, then stepped forward to salute.

"Long live Princess Yan."

Luo Nianxi looked this Madam Liu up and down. She was about fifty years old. Although she was not fat, she had a lot of fat on her face. Her first impression was that she was really as the maids described, very difficult to get along with.

Since she is difficult to get along with, I, as the princess, have to act like I am even more difficult to get along with in order to avoid being suppressed by her.

Thinking of this, she raised her hand proudly.

"Madame Liu, there's no need to be so polite. I heard that you were in charge of Prince Yan's Mansion before, and I'm sure you've been very tired. Now that I, the princess, have come into the family, it's time for you to take a break. From now on, you don't have to take care of the affairs of the mansion anymore..."

When she heard her words, Madam Liu's eyes flashed with displeasure, and she snorted coldly.

"Princess, you have just arrived and you don't know much about Prince Yan's Mansion. The servants in this mansion don't recognize you, so why are you so anxious to be the head of the household? Besides, when the Queen came yesterday, she specifically asked me to teach you well so that you, a princess who came from a small family and entered the mansion, would not be ignorant of etiquette."

Nanny Liu deliberately used the Queen to put pressure on her, and it seemed that she didn't want to hand over the power of the household.

She used her words that she came from a small family to provoke her, in order to give her a warning.

She suppressed her anger and nodded.

She realized that even though she was unhappy at the moment, she couldn't show it on the first day.

She is someone close to the Queen. The Queen allowed her to come to Prince Yan's Mansion, so she must have trusted her very much. If she angered her now, and she made up a few words about herself in front of the Queen, it would be a loss.

Besides, now is not the time for her to take the lead, lest others think that she married into Prince Yan's Mansion for ulterior motives.

Thinking of this, she nodded freely,

"Madame Liu is a favorite of the Queen. The Queen has her reasons for letting you take charge of Prince Yan's Mansion. I'm sorry to trouble you..."

Madam Liu rolled her eyes and replied in a haughty voice:

"I am suffering for the Queen and Prince Yan. There is no need for you to be polite. It is getting late. I don't have time to teach you etiquette here. Let's talk about it on the way!"

After saying that, she turned around impatiently. Xiao Cui, the maid beside her, glared at Nian Xi hatefully, then quickly followed her footsteps.

Why would a girl be so hostile to her? This really puzzled her.
