The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Chapter 11 Learning Etiquette
Mu Xiyue was in a good mood when she received the silver note sent by Nanny Chen. She only saved more than two hundred taels of silver by digging herbs and hunting wild boars in Mujia Village in a year. This was only because she was lucky enough to collect ginseng and ganoderma lucidum that were fifty or sixty years old and sold them for a good price.
It's only been two days since I arrived at the Marquis' Mansion and I've already received 3,800 taels. Wow, it seems that this Marquis' Mansion is quite rich.
Xiao Tao also looked excited, "Miss, with so much money, we can buy a house in Yun'an when we return to the town."
Mu Xiyue put the banknotes into the space and gave Xiaotao more than twenty taels of silver. "Take these. If you need more, ask me for more."
Xiaotao didn't hesitate and put the silver into her sleeve.
The secret guards reported everything that happened here to Xiao Yibai in detail. Xiao Yibai raised the corner of his mouth after hearing it. This girl is quite smart.
"Did she find you?"
The secret guard answered honestly, "Master, I feel that Miss Mu must be aware of our presence. Several times, I felt that Miss Mu was looking at me."
Xiao Yibai curled his lips, "It's normal for her to discover your presence, retreat!"
The secret guard followed her for a day and a half, and it was obvious from her performance that she was not someone who would suffer any loss. After all, her identity had been told to her, and if she needed anything, she would always come to him herself.
The next day, Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao got up early and practiced fighting in the yard for half an hour before having breakfast. Chun Ya was very envious of the two of them fighting. No wonder the eldest lady dared to challenge the lady. It turned out that she was so good at fighting. Even Sister Xiaotao was so good at fighting.
Before the hour of Mao, the nanny from the old lady's side came over and said, "Greetings, young lady. I am Nanny Lin from the old lady's side. I am here under the old lady's order to teach young lady etiquette."
Mu Xiyue was bored anyway, and thought that she might have to stay in Shangjing City for a year or two. She didn't know whether the etiquette here was the same as in the TV dramas she had watched in her previous life, so she decided to learn it!
"Okay, thank you for your concern, Ma'am."
Nanny Lin really taught her etiquette seriously. Although it was slightly different from the ancient etiquette in Mu Xiyue's knowledge base, it was basically the same. She learned most of it in one day.
At first, Nanny Lin was just teaching Mu Xiyue according to the old lady's instructions. Seeing that Mu Xiyue not only studied hard but also learned very quickly, and even Xiaotao followed suit and learned seriously, she later taught sincerely like an elder, and felt that the personalities of the master and servant were not as bad as rumored in the mansion.
A day of teaching passed quickly. Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao used to go into the mountains to hunt frequently, so their physical fitness was naturally many times better than that of ordinary young ladies. So they didn't feel tired after studying for a whole day. On the contrary, Nanny Lin, who was old, felt very tired.
Nanny Lin praised sincerely, "Young Miss is very talented and learns quickly. With more practice, there will be no problem. This old servant will not come tomorrow."
Mu Xiyue also responded with a smile, "Okay, thank you for your hard work today, Madam."
Mu Xiyue stuffed five taels of silver into Nanny Lin. She was rich now. After spending a whole day with Nanny Lin, she could see that Nanny Lin was not like Nanny Chen who was with Liu Mei'er. So she thought of bribing her, but didn't think about what she could do for her. As long as she didn't add insult to injury in front of the old lady, she would have to deal with fewer tricks in the harem.
Before leaving, Nanny Lin hesitated to speak, and finally sighed and gave some advice.
"Miss, you should fight for what you need to fight for, and don't compromise on everything."
She could only remind him in this subtle way that the late wife was a good person, but good people don't live long. She shook her head and left the yard.
Xiao Tao was also smart and could understand the meaning behind Nanny Lin's words. She whispered in Mu Xiyue's ear, "Miss, this Nanny Lin is quite good."
Mu Xiyue nodded. "Well, at least he's not like other servants who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. Well, you've been tired all day too. Eat dinner today and rest early."
Nanny Lin returned to the old lady and told her about Mu Xiyue's study progress today.
"Madam, the young lady is very intelligent. She has learned almost everything today. I told her to practice more on her own in the next few days. Her maid has also been studying with her all day. I see that neither of them is unreasonable. The young lady has lived in the countryside for so many years, so it's inevitable that she has some resentment towards the Marquis."
The old lady sighed softly, "It's not that I can't tolerate her. You know what the Taoist said back then. I can't let her kill everyone in the Marquis' Mansion by herself. She can only blame her fate. Fortunately, the marriage Feng'er found for her is very good. Although he is a little stupid, he is easy to handle. It's her good fortune for her to have such a good marriage as she grew up in the countryside."
Nanny Lin smiled but didn't respond. Marrying a fool could be considered great. Why did the eldest daughter grow up in the countryside? Wasn't it because this mansion couldn't accommodate her? The old lady was really mean. Nanny Lin only complained in her heart. She had been with the old lady for most of her life and knew that the old lady was not a kind person at heart.
Over the next few days, Mu Xiyue only went out once, to buy a few books in her study. She'd always lived a leisurely life in the countryside, and she hadn't thought much about it. Compared to struggling in the apocalypse, traveling here felt like a retirement.
Now that she had arrived in Shangjing City, she wanted to learn more about the history and culture of Tianqi Country, so she bought a few related books to read.
In the imperial study of the palace, the emperor looked at the results found by the Divine Shadow Guard with a gloomy expression, while Xiao Yibai sat nonchalantly under the dragon table.
The emperor was very displeased at this incompetent look, "Did you already know who had tried to assassinate you the last few times? Why didn't you tell me?"
Xiao Yibai smiled nonchalantly, "So what if I know? It's not the first or second time. They've assassinated, poisoned, and forced women into my house. They've used every trick they could on me. Father, you don't care anyway. What difference does it make whether I say it or not? What's the point of those mild punishments?"
A trace of guilt flashed across the emperor's eyes. The eldest, second, and third sons had all tried to kill the fifth son, and each time he had just lifted him up high and put him down gently. Mainly because he knew this son was not as simple as he appeared, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to escape danger every time. But he had indeed treated this son unfairly.
The Emperor was in his prime and in no rush to appoint a crown prince, but his heart still favored the Fifth Prince. A qualified crown prince needed wisdom and means, which the Fifth Prince possessed. Most importantly, the Fifth Prince's mother was once his most beloved woman, but she died young and they didn't live together until old age.
"I know you're resentful, and I will restrain the boss. You should know what I expect of you, so don't act like a playboy all day. In a few days, at the Spring Festival Banquet, take a good look and see if there's a girl you like, and avoid filthy places like Wanchun Tower."
Xiao Yibai responded obediently, "Yes, I understand. If there is nothing else, I will go back."
