Princess of the auxiliary country

Beijing.

Princess Ningyang's carriage did not go back to the Princess's Mansion, but went straight to the Yongninghou Mansion.

The porter was shocked when he saw Princess Ningyang's carriage from a distance, and quickly went in to report it.

What happened in the old lady's room in the morning has been spread among the servants of the Hou Mansion, and they all feel that what the old lady did this time is really unflattering.

After all, the person came from Duke Ji's mansion to give him a gift. It's okay if you don't thank him, but you still dislike him and even beat him.

Now that Princess Ningyang is here, she will definitely not give up.

"Why did you come so quickly?"

Princess Qingyang was slightly surprised. She knew that after her mother knew the news, she would definitely come to her door.

But I didn't expect it to be so fast.

"Yes, the concierge saw the carriage from a distance and came over immediately to report it. I am afraid it has already arrived."

Aunt Liu said quickly, her eyes flashing with excitement.

The eldest princess Ningyang came to visit at this time. You don't need to think about it to know why?
She was the dowry of Princess Qingyang back then. In the past few years, she had seen a lot of things that the old lady of the Hou Mansion did to her elders because she was a stepmother, and she had always been holding back a feeling in her heart. tone.

It's just that because of their status, they don't dare to deal with them too harshly.

"Go out and meet."

Princess Qingyang hurriedly stood up and walked out. Aunt Liu hurriedly followed to help her, and kept telling her to be careful, don't walk too fast, and be careful with your stomach.

At this time, the old lady of the Hou Mansion also heard the news.

The old lady of the Hou Mansion looked ugly, her eyes were beating with fear, and her body was even trembling slightly.

The servants who served her felt relieved for no reason when they saw her like this.

This old lady of the Hou Mansion is not someone who is easy to serve. Among the servants in this courtyard before, only the one who was chased away by the lady's staff thirty years later had a better life. After all, she was the old lady's old man.

As for the other servants who served, the old lady never treated them well, and would even beat and punish them from time to time.

He would reprimand him if he was slightly dissatisfied. If he suffered a loss from his wife, he would punish them as servants when he came back.

In the entire courtyard, among the dozens of servants, there was no one who was not beaten and scolded by the old lady for no reason.

But what can be done?They are the masters, so they can only accept beatings and scoldings.

"Old madam, the eldest princess Ningyang is here. She is at the door of the mansion and asked you to greet her."

When the eldest princess comes to the door, she must go to greet her according to the rules. This is what the old lady of the Hou Mansion did before.

But today, she knew that Princess Ningyang came to look for trouble, so she didn't dare to move even after she knew she was coming.

When she heard that the servants were coming to report, she had to go even if she didn't. Otherwise, she would be ignorant of the rules. When the servants got angry, she would be even more indifferent.

"Help me go out to meet the eldest princess."

The servants hurried forward.

At the gate of Yongninghou Mansion, Princess Qingyang had already arrived. Seeing that her mother was still sitting on the carriage and had no intention of getting off, she was also a little confused about what she was going to do.

"Princess, the eldest princess said that you are healthy and it is windy here, so go back first."

Hearing this, Princess Qingyang shook her head and said, "When mother comes to visit, there is no reason for a daughter not to welcome her."

"Then let someone get you a hood and put it on. Don't catch a cold."

The voice of Princess Ningyang came from the carriage.

Grandma Liu quickly asked the maid next to her to get it.

After a while, she got it back. It was a cloak sewn from fur with a hood. Aunt Liu quickly put it on Princess Qingyang.

At this time, the old lady of the Hou Mansion came slowly.

With a smile on his face, he walked to the door of the house and asked, "My mother-in-law is here, why don't you come in? It's a shame to sit in a carriage in this cold weather."

As she said that, she turned to look at Princess Qingyang and said, "As a daughter, you don't know how to feel sorry for your mother."

"I don't think I suffered much on the carriage, but some people will suffer soon." After the words fell, the eldest princess Ningyang opened the curtain and got out.

This was said so straightforwardly that she almost didn't mention her by name, the old lady of the Hou Mansion.

The servants around him all said to themselves that they were indeed here to cause trouble.

The old lady of the Hou Mansion also trembled in her heart, secretly regretting her actions in the morning, why was she so angry for a moment that she didn't think about it carefully.

"My mother-in-law is joking. If anyone comes, please invite my mother-in-law into the house."

"Hold on."

Princess Ningyang interrupted directly, and then stood on the shaft of the carriage, looking lewdly at the laughing old lady of the Hou Mansion.

"I have heard that the old lady of Yongninghou Mansion is the most knowledgeable person about etiquette. Why is it that when I came to the palace today, no one saluted?"

She was the eldest princess, the sister of the current emperor, and her status was very noble. Except for the princes of her generation, the younger ones had to bow respectfully when they saw her.

It's just that she followed her husband Huo Jingzhi, who was relatively easy-going most of the time. Even if others were slightly neglectful, she would not care about it.

But today was different, she was clearly here to cause trouble.

Hearing this, the old lady of the Hou Mansion quickly walked out of the house with her servants.

"I have seen Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

However, Princess Ningyang is not done yet.

He asked calmly, "I have forgotten, what grade is the old lady of Yongning Marquis Mansion?"

Nanny Zhao next to her bent down and said, "Returning to your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, the old lady of the Yongning Marquis Mansion is not Madam Gaoming."

"Oh? Why?"

Princess Ningyang looked surprised.

"When the old Marquis was here, he asked for a seal for his first wife, Mrs. Hou. Now she is the step-brother and has not received this honor."

The old lady of the Hou Mansion, who was still there saluting, felt such hatred in her heart.

Princess Ningyang made it clear that she was humiliating herself by knowingly asking questions.

"So that's it. Since it's not a royal decree, it's Bai Shen. According to the rules of our Yu Dynasty, any Bai Shen who meets the royal family must kneel down and salute."

"Mother Zhao, please tell the old lady of the Marquis what is the title of this palace."

Hearing this, Aunt Zhao straightened her back and said loudly, "Although Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is born as a girl, she is also a prince."

"Since she is a prince, shouldn't the old lady of the Marquis Palace, who is still white, kneel down?"

Princess Ningyang looked at the old lady of the Hou Mansion with disdain.

Now that the words have come to this, how dare the old lady of the Hou Mansion pretend to be confused, so she had no choice but to kneel down and shout again that she has met the eldest princess.

"Everyone else, get up."

Those who were kneeling on the ground in front of him stood up after hearing the words.

The servants in the old lady's yard felt very comfortable when they saw the old lady still kneeling there.

You used to feel that you had a noble status and didn't treat servants like them as human beings. Now when you meet the eldest princess, who has a more noble status, you still have to kneel down.

"Do you have any complaints about me treating you like this?"

The old lady of the Hou Mansion gritted her teeth and endured the humiliation.

"Don't dare."

"Don't dare? That means you still have complaints in your heart. If that's the case, then continue to kneel."

Princess Ningyang finished speaking and slowly got off the carriage.

"Go and bring a chair for me, and then make a charcoal brazier."
