Long Live the Empress

Chapter 255 The Governor is Displeased

It is winter now and Zhenzhu has been taken away again. There is no one else available around Yue Jinghong, so she only wears a cloak and doesn't even have a hot water bottle.

As soon as she went out, Yue Jinghong was chilled to the bone by the cold wind. "Mammy, I'm not feeling well. Can someone bring me a hot water bottle?"

"Aunt, please forgive me! It's just a few steps away, please be patient!" The teaching nanny fumbled for the hot water bottle in her hand without even blinking.

Yue Jinghong had no choice but to tighten her cloak.

It took nearly half an hour to reach a courtyard.

"This is the courtyard in the Prince's Mansion specially used for training new people. Please come in, auntie!" The teaching nanny bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation.

Yue Jinghong looked around and found the yard clean, but she always felt that things were not that simple.

Sure enough, as soon as Yue Jinghong entered the hall, before she could even catch her breath, the teaching nanny spoke.

"Since Auntie has entered the Crown Prince's residence, she represents the Crown Prince's reputation, so she must pay attention to the etiquette!"

"When I was in Yue Mansion, my aunt asked someone to teach me. So I don't need to learn it again, right?" Yue Jinghong was pregnant and had walked such a long way, so she was really tired.

"I am already the prince's concubine, so I should abandon some of my boudoir etiquette! Serving the prince well is what I should do!"

"Yes, Ma'am!" Yue Jinghong thought it was just the same few things, so she answered casually.

The teaching nanny stood in the middle of the hall and said, "Today, I will start with my manners! I don't need to explain much about the status of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Although I am a servant, I must be able to hold my own!..."

While the teaching nanny was preaching, she made Yue Jinghong kneel on the ground. She was not allowed to put a cushion under her knees, and she was required to keep her back straight and her chest out. Even the hairpin on her head was not allowed to move.

After a while, Yue Jinghong couldn't stand it anymore, "Mammy, I'm really tired, can I take a rest?"

"Auntie! You should hurry up and practice! If the Crown Princess enters the mansion in the future and sees that the aunt in the mansion does not know etiquette, she will blame this servant for being incompetent!"

"..." Yue Jinghong could really understand what Aunt Su said at this time. She must never be a concubine! It turned out to be really hard to endure... Not only would she be looked down upon by the servants, but she would also have to struggle under the nose of the mistress...

Yuefu

Yue Jinghao went to Qiansui Mansion early in the morning. There were so many rare treasures in Qiansui Mansion, she had to take a look. Besides, she still owed Yan Liyuan a meal!

"Ms. Yue, you didn't see your second sister's face yesterday... hehe... her face was almost as pale as a pig's liver!" Wang Yi said as he led the way.

Yue Jinghao had actually heard what the servants said, and she was still secretly happy when she heard it now! "Thanks to the Nine Thousand Years Old Man's help, otherwise my mother's dowry would have been taken away!"

"That's right! The Governor won't help everyone! But for you... I will do whatever you ask!" Wang Yi is worthy of being Yan Liyuan's confidant, and he never forgets to improve his master's favor.

Yue Jinghao didn't say anything, but her heart was filled with ripples...

"Master Governor, Miss Yue is here!" Wang Yi reported outside the study.

"She knows what to do!" Yan Liyuan's cold voice came from the room, as if Yue Jinghao was his enemy.

"..." Wang Yi was somewhat helpless about his master's temper, so he could only smooth things over by saying, "Yes! Lord Governor! Everything will be in accordance with your arrangements!"

No one in the study said anything, so Wang Yi took Yue Jinghao to the kitchen. "Miss Yue, the governor is not picky about food, you can cook whatever you want! But the governor has a bad stomach, so the diet should be light... The governor doesn't like onions and ginger, so don't put them if you can... The governor doesn't like green vegetables, so try to cook less... The governor doesn't like fish, it's fishy... The governor doesn't like it...!"

Yue Jinghao twitched her lips. Is this really called not being picky about food? She had never seen anyone more difficult to serve than Yan Liyuan in her past and present lives! "Okay, I get it! Please let Guard Wang go and do his work first!"

After Wang left, Yue Jinghao started to choose from the available ingredients.
