The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 277
In worry, Cui Hengyue fell asleep.

Not long after, there were vague footsteps outside, and Cui Hengyue sat up startled, looking at the door.

When Shui Rong heard the movement, she immediately threw off the quilt and got out of bed, and walked lightly to Cui Hengyue's bed: "Yuan Niang, what's wrong?"

"someone is coming."

Just as Cui Hengyue finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Shui Rong walked to Luohan's bed again, grabbed the water lotus and shook it: "Wake up, wake up!"

Shui Fu opened her eyes, and was about to ask what was going on, when she heard Zi Yan's voice from outside the door: "Cui Yuanniang, have you woken up yet? It's time to greet the Queen Mother."

"En." Cui Hengyue pretended to be just waking up, replied with a nasal voice, and then ordered: "Change clothes."

Shui Fu and Shui Rong acted immediately.

Everything was ready, Cui Hengyue came out of the bedroom, and she saw Zi Yan instructing the palace staff to clean the yard.

Cui Hengyue took a glance and walked out of the courtyard.

Ziyan quickly caught up with Cui Hengyue: "Cui Yuanniang, let me show you the way."

"No, I know the way, you can go and do your work." Cui Hengyue was very polite.

Zi Yan looked embarrassed: "They will clean up the Hongqiong Garden, don't need me to watch, let me lead the way."

After finishing speaking, he led the way without waiting for Cui Hengyue to agree.

Cui Hengyue didn't speak any more, and followed her silently.

Half an hour later, Cui Hengyue came to the Longevity Palace, saw You Nanny with a bruised nose and swollen face, and exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, Nanny, why are you injured?"

Nanny You was hurt, and she was unhappy at first, but now seeing the people the Queen Mother hates, her mood is even worse.

She elongated her rigid face, and her tone was filled with displeasure: "Didn't you hear that there were assassins in the palace last night?"

"I heard." Cui Hengyue's tone paused, showing shock on her face: "Oh, it turns out that the assassin is after you."

"No." After You Nanny blurted out, she stopped abruptly.

She couldn't say that the assassin was targeting Lu'er.

"Ahem——" Nanny You pretended to cough twice, and said solemnly: "I accidentally ran into an assassin, and when the assassin saw me calling for someone, he became angry and stabbed me.

"Fortunately, no one else was injured. This is luck among misfortunes."

Cui Hengyue: "Nurse is so noble, I admire, admire."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Cui Hengyue said politely: "I'm here to pay my respects to the queen mother, and please pass on the news to the mother."

"Wait a moment." Nanny You also had a very polite attitude, she turned around and entered the hall.

But after a long time, Nanny You didn't come out.

Shui Fu's face suddenly darkened: "It's just a pass, and it hasn't come out for so long. It's clear that we are leaving us Yuan Niang."

Although her voice of complaints was very low, Shui Rong still warned her: "This is the imperial palace, so you can save your life by watching less, talking less and listening less.

"We have only been away from the palace for five years, and you have forgotten the rules?"

Shuifu was ashamed and lowered her head silently.

After another stick of incense, Nanny You finally came out of the hall: "Cui Yuanniang, come in."

Cui Hengyue walked into the hall slowly without being in a hurry.

"You stay outside the hall."

After drinking Zhishuifu and Shuirong, You Nanny led Cui Hengyue to see the Queen Mother.

"Greet the Queen Mother."

Cui Hengyue saluted respectfully, and when she looked up, she saw Chen Linshen sitting next to her, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.

So, Cui Hengyue saluted Chen Linshen again: "I have met the King of Changshan County."

Chen Linshen hurriedly said: "Miss Cui, there is no need to be polite, get up quickly."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that something was wrong, and quickly got up to plead guilty to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, the minister has usurped, please come down to the Queen Mother."

"No problem." The queen said with a smile.

However, the next moment, the Queen Mother looked at Cui Hengyue with a gloomy expression: "You really are a vulgar wild girl, you can't even be polite."

After saying that, she told You Nanny: "Go and call Zi Yan."

Seeing Nanny You walking out of the hall, Cui Hengyue's heart sank: In front of her own family, is the Queen Mother unwilling to do it even to save face?

Fortunately, she was prepared in her heart, so she would not panic.

Zi Yan walked into the hall: "What orders does the Empress Dowager have?"

The empress dowager's majestic voice sounded in the hall: "Cui Yuanniang doesn't know the rules and etiquette. From today on, you will teach Cui Yuanniang the rules and etiquette. Whenever you learn it, you can come out of Hongqiongyuan."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

"Go back."

After the queen mother gave the order, she couldn't wait to drive away Cui Hengyue, as if she was too dirty to see her.

"Yuan Niang resigns." Cui Hengyue exited the hall neither humble nor overbearing.

After they left, Chen Linshen said cautiously: "Queen Mother, before Miss Cui went down the mountain, she learned palace etiquette from Lady Mu who was beside the King of Chu.

"I just saw that there is nothing wrong with her saluting, not to mention that she is still your niece, why do you make things difficult for her?"

The queen mother's face sank: "Why, are you questioning my decision?"

"I don't dare." Chen Linshen quickly explained: "It's just."

Chen Linshen subconsciously helped Cui Hengyue speak, but thinking of what Cui Hengyue said to him yesterday, anger welled up in his heart again, and he swallowed back what he originally wanted to say.

"The queen mother must have considered you for doing this. It is a minister who has overstepped. I ask the queen mother to forgive me."

This time, the Empress Dowager did not punish him either: "For your father's sake, I will spare you today, and I will never make an exception."

"Thank you Queen Mother."

On the wide palace road, a group of people walked slowly.

Shui Fu hit her sore leg when no one was paying attention: "I'm so tired, I haven't walked this way for a long time."

The queen mother tortured Cui Hengyue on purpose, so she was arranged in the deserted Hongqiongyuan, right?

But why did the Queen Mother target Cui Hengyue?Isn't she Cui Hengyue's direct aunt?

Seeing Shui Fu stop, Shui Rong walked back to her side: "Don't stop, Yuan Niang and Zi Yan walked the same distance as us, they didn't stop, we can't stop either."

Shui Fu showed pain on her face: "But... I really can't walk anymore."

"If you can't walk, you have to go."

After saying that, Shui Rong grabbed Shui Fu's wrist and dragged her to run forward.

"Hey, slow down, I can't breathe." Shui Fu was dragged to walk, her legs and feet were even more sore.

Shui Rong hesitated for a moment, but finally slowed down.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the group finally returned to Hongqiongyuan.

Ziyan sat down on the chair, and said unceremoniously to Cui Hengyue: "Cui Yuanniang, I have been ordered by the Queen Mother to teach you etiquette. From now on, you must obey me in every word and deed."

She leaned back on the back of the chair, bossing her around: "Now, you first do the salute to the Queen Mother."

Cui Hengyue did not resist, and obeyed obediently.

"Wrong, you did this action wrong." Zi Yan shouted: "Do it again."

Cui Hengyue didn't move: "You just said that I did something wrong, but I don't know what I did wrong, so please ask Mrs. Ziyan to demonstrate it again."

Demonstration is demonstration.

Zi Yan stood up and explained while demonstrating the movements: "Look, this is where you made a mistake just now, you should put your hands like this"
