May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

As she spoke, Princess Anping stood up and said, "You must remember this: the Empress Dowager and the Empress are backing the girls' school. Anyone who wants to work there must be impeccable in etiquette and manners and must not disgrace the imperial family. You must keep a close eye on things, understand?"

Wen Yuanshu curtsied: "This subject understands."

Seeing how sensible she was, Princess Anping left with peace of mind.

Wen Yuanshu, accompanied by female officials, personally escorted Princess Anping to the door.

The two breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the massive procession of the princess finally disappear into the distance.

She ordered the gates of the girls' school to be closed again, and told the women to put down the porcelain and rest.

“Miss Wen,” the lady-in-waiting said with a pained expression, “do we really have to start with those etiquette rules?”

Learning etiquette takes the most time; even half a month isn't enough.

“Didn’t the eldest princess leave?” Wen Yuanshu said. “Tell them to rest for a while and continue as you did before.”

"...Huh?" The female official's eyes widened slightly.

“It’s alright,” Wen Yuanshu said. “Close the doors of the girls’ school and leave someone to watch over it. If His Highness comes or sends someone over, tell them to communicate in time so that we can make it look like a formality.”

“…Ah…” The female official looked as if she had learned something.

You can do that...

"Don't worry, I'll take the blame if anything happens," Wen Yuanshu said. "I'll have someone keep an eye on the Princess. If she makes any moves, I'll come this way. If I miss it, please cover for me, sir. I won't be too late."

“Yes,” the lady-in-waiting nodded. “I understand, Miss Wen.”

Wen Yuanshu's arrangement made the female official feel much more at ease.

After all, she works in the palace. If the eldest princess takes a liking to her, her future will be difficult.

Wen Yuanshu turned and left. The female official then followed Wen Yuanshu's instructions, closed the gate, and ordered two people to guard it, one inside and one outside. If they saw anything, the person outside could knock on the door and the person inside could come and report.

Once outside the girls' school, Chunhua said, "Miss, why don't we just ask the Empress Dowager to intervene?"

“This little storm isn’t worth calling for a magic weapon,” Wen Yuanshu said. “If we keep bothering the Empress Dowager with everything, she’ll get annoyed eventually.”

Thinking about it, it really makes sense. Chunhua sighed and fell silent.

Meanwhile, the Empress Dowager was in a bad mood.

The Empress merely issued a decree that she herself could issue, yet she immediately arranged for someone to be sent to the girls' school. Who was she arranging for? It was Princess Anping, who had offended all the imperial relatives a few years ago!

Once this happens, won't those relatives be eager to make things difficult for the female student?

You should know that there are many senior members of the imperial clan who are so powerful that even she, the Empress Dowager, has to address them as her junior!

Moreover, Anping is not good at handling things, but she has the status of the eldest princess, which directly puts her at a disadvantage against Wen Yuanshu. I'm afraid that Wen Yuanshu's words won't carry any weight now.

Sure enough, early in the morning, Princess Anping rushed over, putting on her princess airs, and who knows what kind of trouble she's going to cause at the girls' school.

How could the Empress Dowager feel comfortable with this?

Just as she was getting angry, the palace maid who had been sent out early that morning to keep an eye on Princess Anping returned: "Your Highness, Princess Anping has already left."

"Gone?" The Empress Dowager's eyebrows twitched. "Gone just like that?"

The palace maid nodded: "Miss Wen has gone."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good. Tell me quickly, what has Anping been doing since he went there?"

“After His Highness went there, he had those women learn etiquette,” the palace maid said. “From what I observed… it seemed to be following the training methods used in the palace.”

"This is utterly absurd!" The Empress Dowager frowned.

As a member of the imperial family, the Empress Dowager naturally attached great importance to etiquette and rules, but she also knew what was important and what was not.

Demanding that women in the common people follow the rules of the palace is completely meaningless and would only waste precious time.

"Your Highness, please calm down," said Granny Sulan. "Fortunately, Miss Wen is able to hold on. Please don't upset yourself."
