Qingshuang lifted the curtain and came in soon. She was a little embarrassed and nervous. As soon as she came in, she fiddled with the hem of her skirt and did not dare to look up at Princess Linjiang.
Princess Linjiang hated these kind of hypocritical girls the most. All the maids who served in her room were as serious as could be. Anyone who wanted to curry favor with a rich and powerful person was sent away by her.
Qingshuang's sister...
Princess Linjiang's eyes flashed with a hint of disgust, but she still had a warm smile on her face and waved at her: "Come here."
Qingshuang followed the instructions and stepped forward, very shyly: "Princess, I'm sorry..." She spread out her hands, put her two bloodstained hands in front of Princess Linjiang, and said with a bitter face and grievance: "I... I can't learn those..."
Princess Linjiang asked her to learn the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she really couldn't learn them, especially the two arts of music and chess, which almost killed her. Now she felt scared when she saw the strings of a musical instrument.
Princess Linjiang was not as angry as she expected. She sighed and said, "I also know that your foundation is a little weak and you have worked hard to learn, but think about it, if you learn these, you will have a better future in the future. I am doing this for your mother and your sister, thinking of giving you a good future in the future, you have to work hard too."
Qingshuang felt even more guilty after hearing this, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. She didn't know what luck she had, she had been alone and helpless for more than ten years, and suddenly she got lucky and served the princess.
Moreover, she quickly became a favorite of the princess. The princess treated her the best she could be and almost granted all her requests. She heard the maids outside talking about it, and they all said that the princess had never been so nice to anyone.
It is always easy for people to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. After living a good life for too long, it is inevitable to become lazy.
Although she only had such good days for a month or so, she was already feeling elated because she was being praised by the people around her and given way to by people outside.
I used to try my best to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but after studying for a long time, I got bored and just became lazy.
Seeing Princess Linjiang say this, she pursed her lips and looked a little aggrieved, but still sniffed and nodded: "Don't worry, Princess, I know you are doing this for my own good..."
"Of course it's for your own good." How could Princess Linjiang not see through her thoughts? She was annoyed in her heart, but her face was full of love: "Silly girl, no matter how good I am to you and how much I value our relationship, you are from a humble family after all. If you don't have anything to show for yourself, do you really want to marry that steward outside?"
Qingshuang looked up in surprise.
In her opinion, marrying a manager from outside was already a great thing.
Among her sisters, the one who married the best is still a boy. If she could marry a manager, it would be a great honor for her ancestors.
According to Princess Linjiang, she could actually marry someone better
Princess Linjiang glanced at the tea on the table, and Qingshuang immediately walked over, turned it over and held it in front of her: "Princess, I..."
"You don't have to say anything more." Princess Linjiang took the tea and took a sip, then looked at her with a smile: "Those people are not worthy of you. For your sister's sake, I must find you a better one. Achen is also in need of a personal maid who knows how to keep him company. I have high hopes for you, so don't let me down."
Shen Chen?!
Marquis of Pingxi?!
No matter how ignorant Qingshuang was, she knew who Shen Chen was and his relationship with this mansion.
She looked up at Princess Linjiang in disbelief, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
How is it possible? Who is she to be able to serve Shen Chen? !
And if she was just asked to serve, why would she learn music, chess, calligraphy, or read books? This was simply.....the idea of making her follow Shen Chen!
She couldn't help but have a gleam in her eyes.
Although I have never met Shen Chen, I have heard a lot about him. I know that Shen Chen is capable and is now a favorite of the emperor. The emperor likes him and often lets him live in the palace. He also entrusts him with important tasks and asks him to quell rebellions.
Such a person...
Even if I can only be a concubine, it is a hundred times better than following a manager outside!
She was so surprised that she was a little incoherent, looking at Princess Linjiang who was at a loss: "Princess...what should I do..."
Princess Linjiang put down the teacup and looked at her with a smile: "What's wrong with you? I dare not refuse the gift given by the elders. As long as I am willing, Achen is a filial child."
Qingshuang's face flushed, and she could no longer suppress her joy. She quickly fell to the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess!"
Princess Linjiang glanced at her and said, "You haven't even started yet, why are you in such a hurry? Learn more. Achen is a capable man. If you stand in front of him like a stone, it won't be easy to win his favor."
Qingshuang agreed quickly. Not to mention anything else, just Shen Chen alone made her devote all her energy to learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting, even if he asked her to die, she would be willing to do so.
Nanny Qin happened to lift the curtain and come in. She gave Princess Linjiang a look that showed that she had done her job, and then smiled and said to Qingshuang, "Oh, Miss Qingshuang is here? Have you finished today's lessons?"
Qingshuang felt a little embarrassed and said goodbye to Princess Linjiang with a smile.
Princess Linjiang waved her hand and told her to go out. When the curtain fell, her face became gloomy and the warm smile she had before disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Nanny Qin came forward to serve her, and seeing that she was a little impatient, she asked after a moment's hesitation, "Princess, is Qingshuang worrying you?"
"She's just a piece of stubborn stone." Princess Linjiang felt a little headache and showed a bit of disgust: "Although her sister was annoying at first, she was very smart, but she only has some disgusting little thoughts."
"A girl like this..." Nanny Qin sneered and shook her head: "After all, she has never been educated since she was a child, so it is common for her to be sneaky and cunning. You don't have to have too high expectations. Just take your time. Her face... is enough."
When she talked about the latter part, she looked at Princess Linjiang cautiously, and felt relieved only when she was sure that she was not angry.
Princess Linjiang hummed tiredly, and then said: "I am doing this just for her face, otherwise..."
Nanny Qin understood what was unsaid, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, our Marquis is a man who values relationships the most. Now Qingshuang is the only one left in her family. The Marquis will definitely treat her well because of their past relationship. But Princess Shouning is not one to tolerate any sand in her eyes. After all this, there is a rift between the young couple, how can it be resolved so easily? Sooner or later, something big will happen." (To be continued)
