Chapter 627: Chapter 568: Publicly Falling Out (Two in One ga Chapter)_2 Chapter 627: Chapter 568: Publicly Falling Out (Two in One ga Chapter)_2 The old servants by the Empress Dowager’s side are not to be regarded as ordinary slaves by the ladies present. Even Madam Guo, who ca reluctantly to the banquet, must show them so respect.
“I’ve heard that the nannies in the palace are very strict. They teach princesses and commandery princesses all their etiquette, and if anyone does not conform, they will directly spank them with a plank.”
“So fierce?”
“Isn’t it true? The Little Prince is really miserable, now having two more nannies to discipline him.”
Nanny Jia did not stay long after she arrived, chatting and laughing with Madam Jiang and Madam Guo for a while before speaking up to take her leave, “There are many areas in the Little Prince’s residence that are not in accordance with the rules. My sister Zen and I are here by the orders of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to take care of the Little Prince, and we must rectify these issues one by one.”
Madam Jiang smiled and took over the conversation, sighing, “Indeed, Yeyang has been living alone outside without anyone to take care of his daily life. It really hasn’t been very ticulous, but now that the nanny is here, we can all rest assured.”
Nanny Jia humbly said, “This old servant will try her best to fulfill the Empress Dowager’s commands.”
Madam Jiang then asked, “By the way, nanny, hasn’t Yeyang returned yet?”
Nanny Jia shook her head. “We have been here for quite so ti, but throughout this period, we’ve not seen a glimpse of the Little Prince.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang suddenly turned to look at Madam Li, smiling as she said, “I’ve heard that Madam’s son and nephew have always been following Yeyang. Have they returned ho during this ti?”
Seeing everyone’s gaze turn towards her, Madam Li glanced at Madam Jiang and responded with a smile, “They haven’t been back for quite so days. They said they went with the Little Prince to the military camp for training.”
Just as Nanny Jia was about to leave, she suddenly interjected, “This old servant has heard that in recent years, the Little Prince and the Yan Family’s master are very close?”
Hearing this question full of inquisitiveness and seeing Nanny Jia’s scrutinizing gaze, Madam Li’s eyebrows slightly knit together, almost imperceptibly, but she quickly smiled and said, “When my children were at Wangyue Academy, they were classmates with the Little Prince.”
Nanny Jia, seeing that Madam Li had brushed her off with just a sentence, felt sowhat displeased. After thinking for a mont, she said, “I wonder if the Yan Family’s young lady has arrived; I would also like to et her.”
These lower-class officials are the most adept at scheming, not hesitating to sell their daughters for glory.
At these words, the smile on Madam Li’s face almost failed to hold. Nanny Jia had first ntioned the close relationship between the Little Prince and their family, and now she was specifically asking to et their daughter. What did she an by this?
Scanning the subtle glances of the attending ladies, Madam Li suppressed the anger in her heart. Just as she was about to say sothing, she saw her daughter rise to her feet.
“The eldest daughter of Ningn Prefecture’s Magistrate, at your service, Nanny Jia!”
Daohua stepped forward two paces, gracefully and appropriately bowing, then raised a smiling face, “May I inquire what matters Nanny Jia has with ?”
Nanny Jia saw that Daohua was not at all intimidated and was not afraid to et her eye. There was not a hint of awe in her brows, and Nanny Jia, who always prided herself on her status as a senior in the Taihou Palace, felt offended and a dislike instantly rose within her. She unabashedly scrutinized Daohua for a while before giving a bland assessnt, “Indeed of good countenance.”
In the palace, even princes and princesses would affectionately call her ‘Nanny Jia,’ yet this young lady from a fourth-grade official’s family dared to not take her seriously. For that, she couldn’t help but want to teach her how to behave properly.
The mont Nanny Jia spoke, Madam Li’s complexion sank imdiately.
No one would comnt that an unmarried girl was ‘of good countenance’ as if saying her daughter would serve others with her beauty. This Nanny Jia was utterly outrageous.
Just as Madam Li was about to stand up and argue the point, Daohua once again spoke up before her, “I’ve long heard that the nannies in the palace know etiquette and rules well. Nanny Jia… indeed follows the rules.”
Observing Daohua, who wore a slight smile and rebutted Nanny Jia in a neither light nor heavy manner, all the ladies present couldn’t help but widen their eyes in surprise.
Guo Xueming and Jiang Wanying also simultaneously looked towards Daohua, their eyes filled with clear surprise and amazent.
This Yan Family’s eldest girl actually stood up to a nanny from the Empress Dowager’s palace; such courage she had!
Daohua paid no attention to the reactions around her and did not even glance at the shocked Nanny Jia. Instead, she turned her head smilingly toward Madam Jiang and Madam Guo.
“I have never been to Beijing and am puzzled by sothing. I would like to ask the two Madams to enlighten .”
Madam Jiang frowned slightly but did not respond.
