"I pay my respects to His Majesty and Concubine Ming." Su Diya walked closer and bowed in an unskillful manner.
Ning Chen waved his hand, "No need to be polite."
After saying these two words, he didn't say anything else. As for Ye Jun, who was a bad boy, he pretended to be well-behaved, lowered his eyes and didn't say a word.
Sudiya was extremely embarrassed for a moment.
But after all, this trip couldn't be in vain, so he mustered up the courage to speak again.
"I see the weather is good today, so I came to the Imperial Garden to take a walk. I didn't expect to meet the Emperor and Concubine Ming. If the Emperor doesn't mind, can I take a walk with him?"
After all, she is a princess from Zasak. In Zasak, she used to represent her father Zhuoligtu. Now that she is in Kyoto, she represents the entire Zasak.
So, face had to be given, and Ning Chen nodded.
But I don't care too much about it. Zhuo Ligetu is too ambitious and he has already made other arrangements.
Sudiya was overjoyed to get permission and followed the two of them.
Ye Jun is not really intolerant. Everyone who enters the palace wants to win favor. There is nothing wrong with coming to show off your face, as long as you don't think about snatching people from her.
But it was obvious that Su Diya had ulterior motives. When Ye Jun asked Bai Zhu to pick roses for her, she acted like she was asking for trouble.
"Although only people praise the plum blossoms for dying on their fragrant branches, I feel that all flowers are equally beautiful. Why did Ming Jieyu insist on picking them? Wouldn't it be better to let them bloom on the branches for everyone to enjoy?"
As soon as the words were spoken, not only did Ye Jun feel disgusted, but Ning Chen's expression also darkened.
But Su was completely unaware and was still singing the hymn of the Virgin Mary, "I didn't see many flowers on the grassland before, but now I am lucky enough to see such a profusion of flowers, so I cherish them even more."
"Your Majesty, look, everyone in this palace thinks that I am cruel. Last year, Fang Xiuyi said that it was not good for me to pick plum blossoms, and this year Su Wanrong did not allow me to pick roses. It seems that I am the only one in the palace who loves to arrange flowers, while other concubines only stare at the flower pots?" Ye Jun said lightly.
As he said this, he glanced at Su with a forced smile.
Ning Chen did not respond. Instead, he personally picked a rose in full bloom and pinned it on her bun.
She didn't wear any jewelry today, but she looked better with a flower in her hair.
"Why are you arguing with her? There is nothing like this on the grassland. She has never seen it before. Even if it is rare, it is still possible."
This statement was very disrespectful to Su, and directly said that she had never seen the world and that a few roses were not good enough.
Su's face immediately turned red, and she bowed hurriedly, "I am sorry for my words, please forgive me, Concubine Ming. I didn't know that Concubine Ming was using it for flower arrangement."
She doesn't even know what flower arranging is.
Although Sudiya's mother was from the Central Plains, she was not a lady from a wealthy family. She knew nothing about flower arrangement or tea tasting, and she had never taught her.
"Your Majesty, I see that Su Wanrong is not yet fully familiar with the palace rules. When she becomes a concubine in the future, she still needs to learn what she should learn. Even if she doesn't know how to do it, she can't be completely ignorant. After all, she is now a member of the royal family, so she must not damage the royal family's reputation."
Ye Jun really disgusted Su, so there was no need to ask any more questions, it was just to make things difficult for her.
Learning etiquette is always the most torturous thing. Those teaching maids can find thousands of ways to make you suffer.
People like this who jump around in front of her as soon as they enter the palace must be taught a lesson.
But this is not nonsense. Sudiya did not learn the Central Plains etiquette well.
After entering the palace, the emperor did not give any instructions, and the empress deliberately did not send anyone to teach her, because she knew nothing at the moment.
"What Concubine Ming said makes sense. Yuan Jiu, go to Fengqi Palace and tell the Queen to send someone to teach Su Wanrong the palace etiquette and rules. The Dragon Boat Festival is in two days, so don't lose your manners at the palace banquet." Ning Chen said directly.
Su's heart stagnated and she felt extremely uncomfortable, but she could only hold her nose and respond.
"Serving the emperor requires meticulousness. Su Wanrong must learn well from the teaching nanny so that she can serve the emperor better in the future." Ye Jun added with a forced smile.
Ning Chen could see her bad intentions, but he didn't like Su either, so he just climbed up the ladder. "Well, the palace has strict rules and regulations, and you have to know the etiquette. Su Wanrong can serve you when she has learned the rules well."
"Your Majesty!" Sudiya widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.
If she learns the rules and serves him later, then when will that be? Does that mean she has no chance to serve him now
Ye Jun glanced at her and asked, "Why, Su Wanrong has any objections?"
Su Diya felt so wronged, but seeing Ning Chen's cold expression, she was too scared to act up anymore.
She lowered her head and whispered, "I dare not. I will definitely learn the rules. I will take my leave and will not disturb His Majesty and Concubine Ming from enjoying the flowers."
After the people walked away, Ning Chen squeezed the hand of the woman next to him.
He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why do you like bullying people so much?"
"Because I am a bad person. I love to bully little white lotus like this the most. There is not only Su Wanrong, but also Zhang Baolin. If there are still such girls in the palace in the future, I will bully them the same way." Ye Jun snorted.
The little chin was raised, looking very coquettish.
Ning Chen was puzzled, "Lotus is the most noble, how can it be used to describe them?"
Now it was Ye Jun's turn to laugh. Well, how could he explain this to the little emperor
In the end, it was made clear after all the twists and turns. From then on, Ning Chen could no longer accept people being praised for being like a lotus.
On the other side, Su and the maid walked back in humiliation. The Feihong Pavilion where she lived was a bit remote, and the Fuyuan Pavilion where Zheng Baolin lived was a little closer to her.
Zheng also entered the palace with Ye Jun, but her appearance was only pretty and she was not outstanding among all the beauties. After serving him once, she never served him again.
Sitting in the yard at this moment, he first saw Su walking over angrily. Less than a cup of tea later, he saw Su'e, who was beside the queen, walking over with two teaching maids. He knew what was going on.
"Before, I kindly advised her not to go, but she didn't listen. Now she's in trouble. Is it easy to offend Concubine Ming?" Zheng sneered.
It turned out that she thought that Su was the princess of the Zasak after all, with a strong family background. She herself was not favored, so if she could curry favor with her, she could still be a support.
Unfortunately, Su had a very high opinion of himself and looked down on her, so he ignored her and Zheng Baolin was too lazy to try to please him.
The maid Feicui snorted coldly, "This girl entered the palace and still thinks she is a princess. She thinks she is precious. She has to suffer a little before she knows her own worth."
Zheng Baolin smiled. She didn't care what happened to the Su family as long as she could live a stable life.
She knew very well that her appearance was not outstanding and that it was luck that she was able to enter the palace, so she had no ambition.
However, the ambitious Sudiya next door naively believed that the teaching nanny was just here to teach the rules.
But no matter how others are doing, Ye Jun is very comfortable.
Ning Chen had to stay overnight today, and Ye Jun was itching to play chess with him, so he asked him to play chess with him.
Ye Jun was better at this game of chess, but unfortunately she was beaten to tears in her room that night, which made Ning Chen feel relieved.
