Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

"Empress Xian, eyebrows are very particular. You can't just draw them with two strokes and call it a day."

"She's pale, thin, with narrow eyes and splayed eyebrows. Those willow-leaf eyebrows that are so popular nowadays, as thin as a willow leaf just emerging in spring, curved, pointed at both ends and wide in the middle. When they rest on her face, she looks so gentle, charming, and touching."

"Your eyebrows are too long and narrow, and the ends are pointed upwards. You could almost run a horse between your eyebrows and eyes."

Ruyi protested with a look of disapproval, her tone dissatisfied, "Do you think it's right to casually comment on other people's makeup?"

"Ah! Why are you hitting me again?!"

"Your Highness, this is not a comment. You must always remember your identity. You are the Emperor's concubine. Your words, actions, appearance, and makeup all represent the Emperor's reputation."

Then the nanny changed the subject, her words carrying an extremely oppressive tone, and continued, "Everything you have belongs to the emperor, so these eyebrows must be changed."

"Hehehe, ah!"

"Empress Jia, you shouldn't laugh behind others' backs when they make mistakes."

"Isn't this me laughing openly?"

"That's not OK."

Except for Wei Yanwan, who was praised by the nanny at the beginning and was not slapped on the palm, the rest of the concubines were all beaten by the nanny to varying degrees.

The two who suffered the most were none other than Ruyi and Jiafei.

Since the Queen had set the study time to be one hour, when the time was up the nanny could only let the students go with a cold face.

However, when the two left Changchun Palace, their palms were so red and swollen that they were almost unbearable to look at.

Ruyi tried several times with trembling hands to put on the armor.

However, my fingers were a little red and swollen, and I couldn't get it in even if I tried to force it.

This shows how severe the punishment of the etiquette nanny was.

And he showed no mercy just because the other party was his master.

"Master, your fingers are a little swollen, so you'd better not wear them."

Ruyi pursed her lips, still trying to put on the armor, and said impatiently, "This is my dignity, I must wear it."

"But--"

"It's nothing, the Queen is trying to make things difficult for me, but I won't comply with her wishes."

This is not what惢心 wanted to say.

Perhaps it was Ruyi's desire to be decent that moved God, and he actually allowed her to wear it.

There is no need to worry about blood circulation being cut off and fingers becoming necrotic.

Since she wouldn't listen anyway,惢心 simply shut up and stopped reminding her.

"Damn you, Madam! You hit me so hard! Are you trying to break my hand?"

"Master, we must apply medicine when we get home. We can't wear armor until the swelling goes down."

"I know, I know!"

When Zhenshu helped Concubine Jia out, her eyes happened to fall on Ruyi's fingers.

I saw that the fingers that were swollen like sausages were wearing armor inlaid with gems, and even the color of the fingers had turned dark purple.

"Noble Concubine Xian is in a good mood, unlike my sister, who dares not wear anything on her hands."

Ruyi saw that Concubine Jia's hands were indeed bare. She blinked more than ten times and said indifferently, "It's just a little swollen."

"Oh, then my sister will go back first."

"Ah."

Concubine Jia, who was walking in front, said to Zhenshu, "Why is her thinking so different from that of ordinary people?"

"I also think Concubine Xian is a little strange."

"Tsk, seeing how pathetic she is, my palms don't hurt anymore, I feel so relieved."

Wei Yanwan didn't come out until Concubine Jia left.

Seeing Ruyi walking so slowly, Wei Yanwan knew that it was inevitable to run into her, so she simply walked up to her and greeted her.

"Greetings, Concubine Xian."

Ruyi just glanced at Wei Yanwan casually, and the first words she said when she saw her were a rebuke.

"I've already come to greet you this morning, why are you late?"

Wei Yanwan: “???”

Lan Cui: “!!!”

Chun Chan: "Who is Concubine Xian talking about? Is she talking about their master?"

"If you hadn't been late, the sisters wouldn't have been implicated because of you and would not have suffered here."

"Don't think that just because the emperor favored you last night, you can ignore these rules."

Seeing that Ruyi was getting more and more excited, Wei Yanwan almost suspected that she was talking about someone else.

Ruyi talked for a long time, but seeing that she didn't take it to heart, her face couldn't help but become a little angry, and she continued to scold, "I'm talking to you, but you don't listen carefully!"

"So Noble Concubine Xian was talking about me. I thought you were talking about someone else."

Wei Yanwan dared to swear that she didn't mean any sarcasm in her words, because what Ruyi said had nothing to do with her.

Lan Cui and Chun Chan can both testify to this.

But this does not include sleeping with the emperor.

"How dare you argue with me! You did it even though you knew it was wrong! You were late but you refused to admit your mistake!"

Wei Yanwan's attention was almost entirely drawn to Ruyi's mouth.

She really can't change her habit of pouting whenever she talks, as if she wants to suck the other person's brains out.

Lan Cui was shocked to see Ruyi's ferocious expression. She immediately lowered her head and explained, "Empress Xian, Wei promised to come here early this morning. You really wronged Wei."

"Nonsense! I clearly saw her come in after me!"

Ruyi's voice was almost no different from a roar.

Even惢心 behind her was frightened.

After all, this is still within the Changchun Palace, so there is no guarantee that no one will hear it.

[I now seriously suspect that she is experiencing early menopause.]

"This is her true appearance. Anyone who claims to be as pure as a chrysanthemum is just an ugly imitator."

"Your Highness, the Empress said that if you still can't remember what Nanny taught you today, she wouldn't mind adding an hour to your daily study."

Su Lian came just in time.

Ruyi stopped the small movements on her lips and looked at Su Lian calmly. After a long pause, she responded, "I understand. Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your kindness."

Just like thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the king.

Even if the Queen punished her, she had to thank her.

Ruyi had just turned around and was about to leave when Su Lian, standing behind her, respectfully asked Wei Yanwan, "Wei Yanwan, will you come here tomorrow before paying your respects, just like today?"

"Of course!"

After hearing what Su Lian and Wei Yanwan were saying, Ruyi finally realized that Wei Yanwan was not late at all!

Su Lian's attitude made her feel uncomfortable.

She is a royal concubine, yet she, a palace maid, dares to look at her in a bad light. Why can Wei Yanwan, who is just a humble concubine, be so respectful to her!

There is definitely something fishy here!

Just as Ruyi stepped into the Yikun Palace, Hailan walked in quickly with an anxious look on her face.

"Sister! I heard that nanny hit you! Let me see if your hand is okay!"

On the way back, Ruyi took off the armor because the pain in her fingers was unbearable.

Seeing this, Hailan's anger reached its peak. "Damn Queen! How can you be so vicious!"
