The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 256 Uninvited Guests, Ignorant of Etiquette

After all the trouble last night, and with my clothes and bed stained by my period, I was busy changing and washing them.

Xu Rongrong didn't fall asleep until dawn.

Wen Yao and Luo Shu served their young lady together with Nanny Xiao last night. Seeing that she looked very sleepy, they naturally did not want to disturb her early in the morning.

But... although they feel sorry for their young lady, it is inevitable that someone else will come and disturb their sweet dreams.

Wen Yao, who was sitting under the eaves embroidering a purse, looked up and saw Madam Xiao, who was hesitant to speak. She quickly put down the basket in her hand and said, "The young lady is still asleep. Is there anything you need, Madam?"

"A message came from the door saying...Princess Lingxi is here to visit the county lady." Nanny Xiao spoke in a low voice for fear of waking up Xu Rongrong in the room.

Wen Yao was slightly startled when she heard this: "I've never heard that Princess Lingxi has ever sent a letter to Miss... Has she already known about it?"

Madam Xiao smiled bitterly, "Isn't it? He's getting off the car right in front of the door."

According to the etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if you go to someone else's residence, you need to send a letter to the host family a day in advance and confirm the host's time before you can go. But this Princess Lingxi actually came directly without any etiquette.

Wen Yao sneered, "Does she think our young lady has nothing to do all day and is just waiting in the mansion?"

Madam Xiao knew that the girl in front of her was angry, but now was not the time to be angry: "People are already here, what should we do?"

Although she had worked in a wealthy family in the capital before and had learned the rules in the marquis's manor in the southern suburbs, this was the first time she had encountered such a thing. It would not be a big deal in the past, but her own county lady tossed and turned until almost dawn last night before going to bed. She just felt sorry for the county lady for not getting enough sleep, so how could she bear to wake her up?

But the princess is a member of the royal family after all, not to mention that Princess Lingxi was given the title by His Majesty at birth, so naturally they cannot neglect her.

The current situation can be said to be a dilemma!

Not to mention that she was worried, even Wen Yao and Luo Shu looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

But Luo Shu had been out for so long that she was the first to calm down:

"Since Princess Lingxi has arrived at the door, it would be impolite of us not to let her in. We should invite her in and place her in the front hall first."

"I just heard from the people next door that Madam Lu is home today. Madam Xiao, please go over and ask Madam Lu to come over. She's a noblewoman and the owner of Zhuxiang Yayuan. She can help hold off the young lady and buy her some time." "As for the young lady... when she wakes up, Wen Yao will invite her to the front hall."

Her arrangements were quite appropriate, but... "What if the young lady doesn't wake up?" Wen Yao asked.

Luo Shu smiled cunningly: "Then I will tell the princess that the young lady met a woman with a cough yesterday. Seeing that she was seriously ill, she lent her the carriage. After returning, she also felt a little unwell. Now she is resting in the backyard. She will come over when she feels better..."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xiao laughed heartily: "Miss Luo Shu, this is a great idea! Every word you say is the truth. It will definitely scare the princess away."

Luo Shu's eyebrows curved: "Since you think this is okay, then let's act separately!"

……

Princess Lingxi was invited into Luo Shu's mansion. As she walked along, she felt that the courtyard was clean and elegant, which was very different from what she had imagined.

She had specifically inquired before coming here. This Zhuxiang Yayuan was the most elegant and unique courtyard in the capital, so she imagined how the scenery inside would be like, with jewels and precious stones, and how beautiful it would be. But in the end...

That's it?

As expected, there are many things about the Great Zhou that do not live up to its name!

As soon as she sat down in the front hall, a maid came over to serve tea. She took a sip and said: It’s so light!

So he put down his teacup with a dull look on his face: "Why don't you see the county lady?"

Luo Shu said calmly, "Your Highness, you came suddenly, and my young lady is not ready yet. Please sit for a moment."

Princess Lingxi looked up at Luo Shu. Was this girl trying to make fun of her for not knowing the rules?

Oh... so what? She's Princess Lingxi. Does she need to say hello beforehand when she wants to visit someone?

However, the little girl who dared to speak to her like this was worthy of her attention:

This girl's appearance is as plain as this garden, and there is nothing interesting about it.

She curled her lips and was about to put on the airs of a princess and scold Princess Ping'an for not knowing how to entertain guests, when she heard a burst of laughter coming from outside the door:

"Look, look, the princess has arrived. Why didn't you say hello in advance? I, an old woman, almost missed her."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw an old woman walking in with the help of a maid.

The maid standing beside Princess Lingxi lowered her voice and introduced, "This is the wife of the Minister of Works, Lord Lu Zhi. She holds a First-Rank Imperial Edict."

A first-rank imperial edict? Princess Lingxi frowned.

She came to see Xu Rongrong today, what was this old woman doing here?

Seeing that she was puzzled, the maid continued, "Zhuxiang Yayuan is a branch courtyard of the Lu family. It is reasonable for the host to come and receive you when you come here."

"What? Princess doesn't want to see me, an old woman?" Mrs. Lu spoke as if she was joking.

Since he was a first-rank imperial edict, Princess Lingxi still had to look at him with respect, so she put on a bright smile and said, "How could that be? Lingxi has just arrived in the Great Zhou and rarely leaves the palace. I'm afraid I don't know the etiquette of being a guest and might make you laugh."

"How could that be..." Madam Lu laughed, "The princess is the guest, and the old woman and the county lady are the hosts. How could the host family despise the guests?"

These words left Princess Lingxi with a thorn in her throat.

Fortunately, Madam Lu was not an aggressive person, and Princess Lingxi was invited by His Majesty to stay, so her words were to the point.

After sitting down again, Mrs. Lu really acted like the host of the house. She seemed nonchalant, but in fact, she introduced the furnishings in the house one by one according to the princess's vision.

Luo Shu watched from the side, feeling that Madam Lu's nonchalant demeanor was very similar to the way his young lady used to be when she was discussing business with her brother. Princess Lingxi patiently listened to Madam Lu finish her words, and took advantage of the moment to glance at Luo Shu: "Why aren't you ready yet?"

Luo Shu was about to respond when he heard a familiar voice: "Since we are receiving such a distinguished person as the princess, we must prepare for it with more ceremony. It will take more time..."

After Xu Rongrong finished speaking, she walked slowly over with graceful steps.

The sun was shining brightly today, and she was wearing a goose yellow dress, which made her skin look smooth and creamy, and she looked delicate and elegant.

Her lightly dressed and graceful appearance made Princess Lingxi, who came in a gorgeous dress, feel that her clothes were too complicated.

Princess Lingxi was somewhat displeased upon seeing this. She frowned slightly, and subconsciously straightened her back and sat upright, waiting for Xu Rongrong to come forward and salute, but unexpectedly, the other party just sat down.

Xu Rong blinked and said playfully, "From the way the princess behaves, I know she is a generous person. I believe she is not bound by the etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In that case, I will not go through these empty formalities with her."

Mrs. Lu nodded and smiled, "Very true."
