Chu Xi felt in his heart: This nanny is easy to talk to, it shouldn't be difficult to get along with her.

But within three minutes, she regretted it.

"Miss Chu, please don't walk with such big steps. It's not graceful."

The nanny followed behind Chu Xi and spoke seriously.

After hearing what Nanny Wu said, Chu Xi could only take smaller steps.

"Miss Chu, you need to straighten your back a little more, and don't bend your waist and hunch your chest when you walk."

"Ms. Chu, please don't wave your hands around. It's beneath your dignity."

"Miss Chu, please don't look around. It's beneath your dignity."

"Ms. Chu, please don't walk too stiffly. Relax a little."

"Miss Chu..."

"Miss Chu..."

Chu Xi felt like he had walked a long century during these few minutes, and in the end he couldn't even walk anymore.

Back in the yard, I sat down and picked up the cup to drink tea.

Nanny Wu's voice sounded again behind her.

"Miss Chu, you should be elegant when drinking tea. You can't just drink it like a rough person..."

Chu Xi was frightened by Nanny Wu's sudden voice and choked.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Miss, are you okay?"

Shaoyao, who was standing nearby, saw Chu Xi coughing violently and asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, don't worry, Shaoyao."

Yanhuo looked at what had just happened, his expression became strange, and he wondered whether he should report this to his master.

I’m afraid the princess won’t be able to handle so many rules.

I'm afraid the wedding date between the master and the princess will become even more distant.

After thinking it over again and again, Yanhuo finally sent the message to Yan Jingshuo.

A few minutes after Chu Xi sat down, Nanny Wu asked her to start practicing her standing posture. She put a book on her head and on both shoulders and stood motionless in the hall.

Chu Xi had a thousand horses running through his mind, and he cursed Aunt Wu inwardly as a devil.

He is even more terrifying than the dean in school.

"Miss Chu..."

When Nanny Wu's voice sounded behind him, Chu Xi immediately tensed up and shouted quickly, "Here!"

"Take a rest."

"..."

Chu Xi immediately took off the book on his head and sat on the stool next to him.

Nanny Wu stood aside and watched Chu Xihu's every move quietly.

Chu Xi was stared at by Nanny Wu, so she didn't dare to bend down and sat very straight. She picked up the teacup elegantly, took a sip of tea, and then put it down gently with an elegant movement.

Aunt Wu nodded approvingly:

"Ms. Chu is truly a talented person"

"Thank you for the compliment, Mammy. It's because you taught me well."

Chu Xi replied to Aunt Wu with a fake smile but no real courage.

"Miss Chu, let's continue practicing walking..."

"Okay, I'll follow Madam's instructions."

In this way, Chu Xi practiced walking for the whole morning.

At the beginning, all the books on my body fell off when I walked, but in the end I could walk around freely carrying three books on my shoulders.

Chu Xi spent the whole morning.

It is now noon.

Chu Xi didn't have breakfast in the morning, and now his stomach was growling with hunger.

"Miss Chu, let's stop here today. I'll come back tomorrow morning."

Nanny Wu bowed respectfully towards Chu Xi and spoke.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mammy. Please stay and have lunch before leaving."

"No need for that. Thank you Miss Chu for your kindness. I am in a hurry to return to the palace."

"OK then"

"Miss Chu, these two books are palace rules. Miss Chu should take a look at them when she has time."

Nanny Wu handed two books with the words "Palace Rules" written on them to Chu Xi.

Chu Xi was so hungry that he felt dizzy and his hands were shaking as he took the book.

"Thank you, Madam. I will definitely take a good look at it."

"Then I will take my leave first."

"Peony..."

Chu Xi winked at Shaoyao, who immediately understood and took out a bag of silver from her bosom and stuffed it into Nanny Wu's pocket.

"Miss Chu, what's this?"

Nanny Wu was shocked and quickly stuffed the purse back to Shaoyao.

"Thank you for your hard work, Madam. This is your reward for your hard work. Please accept it as a small token of your appreciation."

"Miss Chu, you are too polite. Please take it back. I will not accept this money."

Nanny Wu refused righteously.

"This……"

Chu Xi was puzzled.

"The old slave resigned."

Nanny Wu didn't wait for Chu Xi to say anything else and just walked out.

"Miss, should we chase her and give it to her?"

"Need not"

Chu Xi waved his hand.

"Peony, please go to the kitchen and bring the food here. Your young lady doesn't have the strength to move anymore."

"Yes, ma'am, I'll be there right away."

Peony ran away like a gust of wind.

The food was served soon.

"Miss, the food is ready, come and eat quickly."

Chu Xi looked at the palace rules in his hand, his brows furrowed so tightly that he could pinch a fly to death.

It has more than two hundred pages and is really bordered with gold.

Chu Xi threw the book on the table and went to eat.

Mrs. Chu was a little worried that Chu Xi wouldn't be able to handle it, so she asked the kitchen to stew bird's nest early in the morning.

It was lunch time, but Chu Xi didn't come.

So, Mrs. Chu took the bird's nest and went to Chu Xi's yard.

Chu Xi had just finished her meal when she saw Madam Chu entering her yard.

"Mom, you are here."

"Xi'er, Mom came to see how you did in your studies today?"

"fine"

"Where is Mammy?"

Mrs. Chu looked around but did not see Nanny Wu.

"Mother, there's no need to look for her. Madam Wu has already returned to the palace."

"Leaving so early? Don't you have to continue studying in the afternoon?"

"She said she'd come back tomorrow morning."

"I see, thank you for your hard work."

"Mom, I'm fine."

"This is the bird's nest that I specially asked the kitchen to stew. Drink it while it's hot."

Mrs. Chu placed the bird's nest in front of Chu Xi.

"Thank you, mother..."

Chu Xi had just finished his meal and could only drink a few sips of the bird's nest.

Mrs. Chu saw that Chu Xi drank little.

"Xi'er, what's wrong? Is it not tasty?"

"Mom, no, I just had a full meal, so I can't eat so much. I want to rest for a while before drinking."

"Are you exhausted from practicing all morning?"

Mrs. Chu saw that Chu Xi looked tired.

"I've been exercising since I got up until just now. The amount of exercise is quite intense."

Chu Xi had never tried practicing like this before. Thinking about what Nanny Wu had been talking about all morning, she drank four or five cups of tea herself.

"Then you should take a rest later and don't run around in the afternoon."

"I will, mother."

Chu Xi responded coquettishly.

"Remember to drink the bird's nest before you rest. Mom will be leaving first. You should take a good rest."

"Okay, take care, mom."

Yan Jingshuo had just finished his work and immediately rushed over to Chu Xi.

As soon as he jumped onto the wall of Chu Xi's yard, he saw Mrs. Chu walking out of Chu Xi's room.

The two looked at each other, and Yan Jingshuo suddenly became at a loss.

He hesitated whether to retreat or go in.

"Uncle...Hello, Mom"

Mrs. Chu looked at the footprints on the wall and the severe damage to the top of the wall where Yan Jingshuo was standing.

Suddenly I felt that she appeared at the wrong time.

"My Lord, please come down first."

"..."

Yan Jingshuo jumped down very handsomely and gracefully.

"Your Highness, the gate to the Prime Minister's residence is actually open. You don't have to climb the wall so hard."

When Yan Jingshuo heard what Mrs. Chu said, his face turned red unconsciously.

"Aunt, I mean no harm, I just want to see how Xi'er is doing."

Chu Xi saw Mrs. Chu standing at the door and talking, so he asked her curiously.

"Mom, who's outside?"

"Oh... no one... Mother saw that the trees in your yard are a bit tall, and was wondering if she should find someone to trim them."

"Oh, this tree is a bit tall."

"Mom is leaving first. I'll arrange for someone to come over later."

"Okay, take care, mom."

Chu Xi curled up in the chaise longue, answering Madam Chu motionlessly.

"Tsk tsk tsk... This palace rule is longer than my life, and this rule is quite perverted."

Chu Xi was bored and flipping through the book in his hand. After a while, he couldn't bear to read any more. He threw the book to the ground, turned over, closed his eyes and took a nap.

Yan Jingshuo came in and saw Chu Xi sleeping on the chaise longue. He picked up the palace rules on the ground and looked through them.

Chu Xi heard the noise and thought it was Shaoyao, so he closed his eyes and said:

"Peony, you don't need to serve here, go and rest first."
