"Ha ha ha ha… "
In Yuehua Tower, Zhu Ying no longer cared about her usual tense demeanor in front of Princess Yongping, and suddenly laughed so hard that she fell on the lap of the Madam. Zhan Jin and Liu Yin, who were standing beside her, tried to lower their heads, but they couldn't hide their smiles.
The lady patted Zhu Ying's back gently and said angrily, "Yingying, I've told you so many times to sit and stand properly. Look at you, you are so unruly! Concubine Yu indulges you, so at least you should restrain yourself a little!"
"It's okay. Yingying is cute because of her straightforward and willful personality."
The one who spoke was Concubine Yu. She was in her early thirties, with a slightly thin face, wearing a moon-white shirt and a plain lotus-green long skirt. Her black hair was tied into a very simple bun, and she wore no gold or silver jewelry, only a unique wooden hairpin to tie it up. The only thing that looked more expensive was the pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets on her wrists.
She smiled gently at the old lady. When she saw Zhu Ying finally straighten up and wipe away the tears from her laughter, she stepped forward to apologize to her. She then pulled the man to sit next to her on the couch and said, "What the young man said was just an angry remark. Is it really that funny?"
Zhu Ying raised her chin slightly with pride, and even glanced at Princess Yongping below her. Then she said with a smile, "Xiao Qi is usually calm and cautious. He only puts on the airs of a senior brother when he teaches those guys in Qingfeng Xulai Hall on behalf of Shou. He is especially fierce to lazy people! When I heard him scolding those students just now, it reminded me of the way he scolded Zhang Chen!"
After saying that, she snuggled into Concubine Yu's arms again and laughed with great joy: "Your Majesty, just wait and see. If the subordinates can't help but scold Qi Liang next, Ah Shou will definitely not sit idly by. Then there will be a good show to watch!"
Princess Yongping had been sitting quietly to the lower right of Concubine Yu. Seeing Zhu Ying becoming more and more frivolous, she couldn't help but frown.
Different from Zhu Ying's glamorous and gorgeous style, she, like her mother, Concubine Yu, advocated simplicity. She had a melon-shaped face and always wore light-colored clothes such as wormwood green, lotus purple, aqua blue, and frost. She did not wear jewelry made of gold or silver, but mostly bamboo and jade. Her delicate melon-shaped face always had a hint of melancholy, making her a beautiful woman that I felt pity for.
At this moment, seeing that Concubine Yu just shook her head and the lady-in-waiting smiled without saying anything, and no one blamed Zhu Ying for her gloating attitude, she finally couldn't help it.
"Although Zhang Shou is a disciple of Grand Tutor Ge, Grand Tutor Ge left Beijing for a few months a few years ago, but he never left again. He didn't teach Zhang Shou for too long. And many of these selectors became famous in the imperial examinations, and I don't know how many collections of contemporary essays they have compiled. Even if the disciples of the Ge School have extraordinary status, is it necessary to make enemies easily? We should still value harmony."
"What do you mean peace is the most precious thing? Was it Ah Shou who first provoked him? Wasn't it that old bastard who didn't have eyes and thought he was easy to bully! Besides, I also heard what Xiao Qi said, it was Grandpa Ge who said it himself!"
Zhu Ying had made up her mind. As long as she insisted, it was Grandpa Ge who said it!
It's just far-fetched... No, it's unreasonable!
