Chapter 170 The princess has a vicious reputation, but she is really rich
The queen chose a sixty-year-old grandma with a very elegant name, Xiao Jinping.
Aunt Xiao's family was a clan member of the Xiao family before they became a royal family. Their relationship was very distant and could not be called a royal family.
When she was thirteen years old, her family was in ruins, so she was sent to the palace to be a maid. At the age of twenty, she went to serve the emperor. When the late emperor ascended the throne at the age of twenty-five, she was left to continue to serve the late emperor. At the age of thirty, she became the emperor's master. One of the female officials, she served the late emperor until his death.
When the late emperor passed away, she was not too young. Xiao Jingyun did not keep her on duty, but he respected these female officials who had served the late emperor, so he moved the five female officials, including Xiao Jinping, to Suining Palace, according to the fifth rank. The standards of a dowager are served.
Four of the five nuns have died in the past few years, and now she is the only one left alive.
Having served two generations of emperors and being cared for by the new emperor, she is more suitable than anyone else to teach Princess Xuanyang.
She has no grudge against Xuanyang, and for the sake of the late emperor, Xuanyang should not embarrass Sister Jinping.
The queen was not worried that Xiao Li would be wronged, she was only worried that Xiao Li would kill him.
She went to see Grandma Jinping in person. After explaining the situation, Grandma Jinping agreed to leave the palace and take Wang Wanqing with her.
So, Xiao Li looked at the two people in front of him, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his eyes were cold: "So, what do you want to teach this princess?"
A female official serving the late emperor? The late emperor's face? Who cares?
She doesn't need anyone to tell her what to do, and she doesn't need anyone to teach her some bullshit women's rules!
Wang Wanqing knew at the first glance that Xiao Li was angry, and immediately explained: "Princess, this is the Queen Mother's wish. The Queen specially chose Nanny Jinping, and"
Grandma Jinping took a step forward. Her meticulously styled bun made her look neat and tidy. Although her hair was gray and her face was wrinkled, her movements were calm and calm, and she was very elegant.
She interrupted Wang Wanqing: "I dare not tell you what I can teach the princess, but I have served two generations of emperors and have some skills. If the princess does not give up, I can teach the little girls around her too. ”
Is this to lower your status and stay?
Xiao Li was puzzled: "Mommy was adopted by your majesty and enjoys the blessings in the palace. Why would you bother coming to my princess's mansion to suffer?"
Aunt Jinping bowed, and her deep and old voice carried the weight of time: "I have been in the palace since I was thirteen years old, and now I am in my sixties. I have spent forty-seven years in the palace."
She raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Li, with an indescribable helplessness and desolation in her eyes.
"I am willing to serve the princess. If what I have learned in my life can be used by the princess, I should do my best and never refuse. I only ask the princess to give me food and allow me to take a walk on the street when I have free time."
As he said this, he actually wanted to kneel down to Xiao Li.
"Alas" Hong Yue and Lan Yue quickly supported her: "Mommy, you can't threaten the princess like this."
Wang Wanqing seemed to understand something and looked at Xiao Li eagerly: "Princess."
Xiao Liming understood what this nanny was thinking. She had been trapped in the palace for most of her life, and she wanted to leave the place that had swallowed up her life.
"I respect the elderly, but I am not so kind as to live in old age with a stranger who has nothing to do with me, even if you are a member of the late emperor."
Grandma Jinping's eyes dimmed for a moment, and her heart sank, but she heard Xiao Li say: "You have one month to prove that you have the ability to be used by me."
Grandma Jinping burst into tears instantly and said with a smile, "Thank you so much, princess."
Wang Wanqing also smiled: "Thank you princess."
Xiao Li said to Hong Yue and the other two: "Mommy is a female imperial official, she is well-informed. You should learn from her and don't let me lose money."
The two of them nodded naturally: "I obey, my slave."
Aunt Jinping said: "I will try my best to teach them everything I know."
Xiao Li had a cold face and said with authority: "Teaching is one thing, but there is another point. The people around me must be loyal. Whatever they see and hear here, they are not allowed to say anything to the outside world. Nanny is the old friend of the late emperor. People should understand these principles." Grandma Jinping promised seriously: "I will keep it in mind."
So, Grandma Jinping stayed, and Wang Wanqing
"Princess, don't drive me away." Wang Wanqing begged: "I can organize, know women, count, and many things. Can you let me stay?"
Xiao Li pointed to the door: "If you stay today, Mrs. Wang will come to the door tomorrow."
To put it bluntly, Wang Wanqing is a problem.
Wang Wanqing wanted to just hug Xiao Li and cry, but she promised the princess not to cry.
He looked at her aggrievedly, and was sure that he could not stay, so he could only do the business that the queen told him.
"Your Majesty asked my aunt to give this to the princess. He wants you to choose one of them to be your consort."
She blinked expectantly: "Princess, I know these people fairly well. You can ask me anything you want to know."
There was nothing Xiao Li wanted to know. She would never choose a consort for herself.
However, the Queen Mother persuaded the Emperor to send this list, so the matter of choosing a husband would not be easy to shirk.
If she doesn't choose a consort, they will keep bothering her.
Then choose, choose well.
Xiao Li narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of some interesting idea, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
Xiao Li decided to hold a talent banquet, with no restrictions on status, but restrictions on age, appearance and talent. It was similar to the previous Lantern King Competition in Dengyun Tower, but different.
They not only compete in literature, but also in arithmetic, strategy, martial arts, and musical instruments. It's a bit like an exam. In the end, they look at overall scores and talent in partial subjects.
Xiao Li left the external publicity matters to Song Junzhan, and her main targets were those from poor families.
As for the decoration of the mansion, Hong Yue and Lan Yue were still too young after all, and had never held a formal banquet. They really didn’t know where to start for a while. On the contrary, Aunt Jinping, Xiao Li told her her request, and she immediately Just choose the venue, tell you what items need to be prepared, and even think about where the guests will enter and exit.
Sure enough, an expert would know if it was there as soon as he made a move.
Xiao Li: "Then do as grandma said."
Aunt Jinping responded neither humble nor arrogantly: "Yes."
After saying that, she turned around and went out. The sixty-year-old's pace was steady and fast, her back straight, and her energy high. Compared to that day, Sister Jinping's face was visibly radiant, as if she had taken a rejuvenating pill.
Princess Xuanyang's house was preparing to hold a banquet, and the banquet was all young talents. Then the news came out that the Queen Mother intended to select a husband for Princess Xuanyang. Everyone felt that Princess Xuanyang was hosting a husband-selection banquet.
It has only been less than half a year since Princess Xuanyang killed her husband. Who dares to be her consort? Isn't that seeking death?
However, they say so openly, but secretly they are looking at whether there is anyone in the family who is not so outstanding but still acceptable, and see if they can be sent to choose a prince-in-law.
Although Princess Xuanyang is cruel and vicious, she is His Majesty's most beloved sister. She has a noble status, a fiefdom and property. If you marry her, you will be extremely wealthy.
As for her cruelty, it was because Lu Yanzhi ignored her, so now the consort just needs to marry her and love her well, right?
No matter how domineering she is, she is still a woman and must listen to men.
The whole capital was very excited about Princess Xuanyang's choice of husband. Some people were greedy for beauty and wealth, some were greedy for power and status, and some were coveting the elite bodyguards in Princess Xuanyang's hands.
In short, Princess Xuanyang has a vicious reputation, but she is too rich.
Although there is a risk of losing his life when he is her consort, as long as he can conquer her and get everything from her, what is the risk?
And as long as she consummates her marriage and allows her to have children, isn't she just doing whatever she wants?
I didn’t even write about kissing. I’ll update it tomorrow.
