The weak prince's queen

"If the prince hadn't reminded me just now, I would have been fooled. It seems that this princess is not simple. It seems that I can't take it lightly." Nanny Liu thought secretly in her heart.

"Princess, what the prince said is absolutely right. Your every move represents the reputation of the royal family, and no mistakes can be made. Therefore, I must be strict with you." Aunt Liu said seriously.

"What else can I say..." Chu Xiyue sighed helplessly, with a bitter smile on her face.

"Okay, then let's learn how to greet each other first." Aunt Liu said as she demonstrated it to Chu Xiyue. Her movements were graceful and elegant, and her every frown and smile was full of royal demeanor.

"No problem, this is easy," Chu Xiyue replied confidently. She was a star who had starred in many period dramas and was no stranger to this ancient etiquette. After she finished speaking, she began to learn it in earnest.

"Your Highness, long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Empress." Chu Xiyue saluted according to the posture and tone taught by Nanny Liu. Her voice was clear and pleasant, making people feel very comfortable listening to it.

Aunt Liu stood aside, carefully observing Chu Xiyue's every move, nodding her head from time to time to express her satisfaction. She found that although Chu Xiyue was a little rusty, she learned very quickly and with a serious attitude, which made her feel very relieved.

"Princess, let's learn the etiquette of drinking tea now." said Aunt Liu.

Chu Xiyue had just walked quite a distance. The princess's shoes weren't as comfortable as those worn by ordinary people, so she had to be very careful to wear them. Furthermore, she had just walked quite a distance, so she sat down on the stone bench, crossed her legs, fanned herself with her hands, and muttered, "Oh my god, I'm so tired."

"Princess, how can you sit so rudely!" Nanny Liu shouted loudly and she quickly walked towards Chu Xiyue and pushed her butt hard.

Chu Xiyue was startled and almost fell off the stone bench. She looked at Aunt Liu angrily: "What are you doing? You scared me to death."

"Princess, please be mindful of your words and actions. This sitting posture and speech are really not in line with your status as a princess." Aunt Liu said seriously.

"Princess, this is how you should sit on a stool." After saying this, Aunt Liu demonstrated by sitting on a slightly raised stool with her back straight, her hands on her knees, and a smile on her face.

Chu Xiyue sighed helplessly and sat back down according to Madam Liu's instructions: "Yes... I understand..."

"Also, the princess calls herself a concubine in front of the emperor, empress, and prince, and calls herself this palace in front of the ministers." Nanny Liu quickly corrected.

Chu Xiyue nodded: "I understand, Aunt Liu."

Nanny Liu watched Chu Xiyue sit down as she said, nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the tea set on the table and began to teach Chu Xiyue how to use them.

"Princess, please pay attention. First of all, the posture of holding the teacup must be correct and elegant. You should hold the teacup with your right hand and the bottom of the cup with your left hand." Aunt Liu said as she taught and demonstrated the movements.

Chu Xiyue listened carefully to Aunt Liu's instructions and took the cup as she was told. However, when she brought the cup to her lips, she drank it all in one gulp without hesitation.

"Princess, how can you be so rude?" Madam Liu said in surprise, her eyes wide open.

"What? Is this rude?" Chu Xiyue asked in confusion.

"Princess, you need to savor tea slowly. Please open the lid a little bit, smell the tea first, and then take a small sip." Aunt Liu explained patiently and personally demonstrated the correct way to taste tea.

Chu Xiyue looked at Madam Liu's actions, then at the teacup in her hand, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "I find you ancient people are really troublesome. Just drink tea, why do you have to do so many things!"

"Princess... please be mindful of your words." Aunt Liu's expression turned grim and her tone became serious after hearing Chu Xiyue's words. She believed that as a princess, Chu Xiyue should have higher etiquette and manners.

"Alright, alright, I get it... No, I get it," Chu Xiyue said helplessly. She realized her words might be a little inappropriate, but she also felt these rules were too complicated.

"Then please show us how to drink tea again, Princess." Madam Liu instructed. She hoped that by repeating the process many times, Chu Xiyue would master the correct tea ceremony techniques.

"Okay, okay..." Although Chu Xiyue agreed with her mouth, she was extremely resistant in her heart. She felt that there were too many ancient rules and regulations, which made people feel oppressive and restricted.

Chu Xiyue repeated the same procedure, trying to be graceful and proper. But in her heart, she was thinking, these rules are really troublesome.

"Very good. Let's learn this for today. Please come here as promised tomorrow to continue. Please practice more. I will take my leave now." After saying this, Aunt Liu bowed and left.

As they walked, Madam Liu thought, "This Miss Lin really is a rough and uncouth girl, not worthy of the prince at all." Her first impression of Chu Xiyue wasn't very favorable, believing she lacked the grace and elegance expected of a princess. However, she didn't realize that Chu Xiyue wasn't the real Miss Lin, but a modern person who had traveled through time and space, and needed time to adapt and learn these ancient rules and etiquette.
