After the Little New Year’s Eve, it’s soon New Year’s Eve.
The front yard of the palace was already hung with big red lanterns, and the maids, old women and servants were all busy.
Now there are many new young masters in the palace, as well as many new servants. The entire Ning Palace seems to be much more lively, and there is a New Year atmosphere.
However, no matter how busy the front yard is, life in the backyard remains as peaceful as ever.
The only male owner of the palace has not returned yet, and Shen Yuyao is also happy and relaxed. She has exempted the ladies from paying their respects these days and only informed them that they will stay up together tonight to celebrate the New Year and pray for King Ning together tomorrow morning.
The New Year in Prince Ning’s Mansion has passed!
After a cold night, the wintersweets in Shen Yuyao's palace were in full bloom, and the refreshing fragrance would penetrate into Shen Yuyao's nose from time to time, always making people feel intoxicated.
Shen Yuyao was lying on the bed, resting and enjoying the tranquility and beauty.
Suddenly, Xia Xiaoxian jumped into the house, grabbed her hand and was about to walk out.
Shen Yuyao opened her eyes.
I saw that Xia Xiaoxian was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket and the wind and snow hat that Xu Yunxuan gave her. She was wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, like a small ball.
So cute!
Shen Yuyao watched and laughed.
"Mother, hurry up, the people in Chuxiu Palace are fighting."
Xia Xiaoxian's cheeks were completely red, even the tip of her nose was red, and her chubby little hands were also red. She pulled Shen Yuyao and shouted, "Aunt Zisu can't stand it anymore!"
Shen Yuyao raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.
Is there something in Prince Ning's Mansion that even Zi Su can't handle?
Why!
No matter what Xia Xiaoxian asked her to do, she would do it.
Even though it was disturbing her leisure time.
Shen Yuyao sighed softly, then slowly stood up: "Okay, okay, my little fairy treasure, I'll go with you to take a look, okay?"
She squatted down and lovingly held the ball in her arms. "It's very cold outside. My little fairy baby, please don't get frozen."
Xia Xiaoxian replied with a smile: "Mom, I'm not cold, let's go eat some melon!"
Xu Yunxuan taught it, and the entire Ning Wang Mansion knew what eating melon meant.
"Okay, eat melon!"
"Mother knows that the little fairy baby loves to eat melons the most!" Shen Yuyao couldn't help laughing. Prince Ning's Mansion was too peaceful, and she often felt a little bored.
People are restless.
The young masters of Chuxiu Palace finally couldn't hold back anymore and wanted to do something?
Shen Yuyao called Bai Zhi, picked up Xia Xiaoxian with her own hands, and went to Chuxiu Palace.
The cold starts from the feet.
She was afraid that Xia Xiaoxian's cotton boots would get wet with ice and snow on the ground, freezing her feet and making her catch a cold easily.
"Miss, it's so cold, just tell the young masters to come over." Bai Zhi was a little surprised that Shen Yuyao had to go to Chuxiu Palace in person for such a small matter. "No need to go there in person."
Shen Yuyao ignored him and thought that walking around would help warm her up.
Seeing that her young lady didn't care, Bai Zhi could only take small steps and follow closely behind Shen Yuyao, "Miss, please slow down a little, don't let the little princess fall."
......
Inside Chuxiu Palace.
In the yard, the sound of sticks hitting flesh could be heard. A little maid was lying on a wooden stool, staring at the young masters in front of her, but she said nothing.
Just as Shen Yuyao walked into the door, the little maid turned her head and fainted.
Feng Yuanyuan saw the little maid fainting and quickly stepped forward to protect her.
She gently called the little maid "Chenxiang, Chenxiang..."
"The princess has arrived!"
"Stop!" Shen Yuyao was anxious when she saw this. She quickly squatted down, put Xia Xiaoxian down, and asked sternly, "Who is lynching someone in Prince Ning's mansion?"
The two servants in charge of the execution dropped the sticks in their hands when they saw that the princess had been alarmed.
Both of them were so frightened that their hands and feet were shaking. They crawled on the ground and cried out, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! It was Little Master Huang who was executed."
All the ladies and maids in Chuxiu Palace knelt down and said in unison, "Greetings, Princess."
When Shen Yuyao heard everyone greeting in unison, she frowned and said, "Everyone, get up."
Everyone responded in unison and stood up.
Shen Yuyao glanced at Huang and said, "You, kneel down!"
When Huang met Shen Yuyao's eyes, she shuddered and knelt down again in a hurry.
"Who gave you the right to carry out lynching in Prince Ning's Mansion?" Shen Yuyao said coldly, "The backyard of Prince Ning's Mansion is not your Li Dynasty's harem!"
Huang replied tremblingly: "This bitch...I was gossiping behind your back. I was so angry that I..."
"Everyone in the front and back yards of Prince Ning's mansion is strictly prohibited from using lynching!" Shen Yuyao's face turned cold: "Didn't the governess teach you that?"
She looked at the little maid still lying on the bench and asked the maid from Chuxiu Palace, "This little maid looks unfamiliar. When did she enter the palace? And what mistake did she make today?"
The little maid looked pale. If Shen Yuyao had not arrived in time, she would have been disabled if not dead.
Seeing Shen Yuyao asking about this, Feng Yuanyuan quickly knelt down and rushed forward, throwing herself at Shen Yuyao's feet and said, "Princess, please save Chenxiang and stop hitting her."
Shen Yuyao asked the palace maid to bring two chairs, and she and Xia Xiaoxian sat down on one each.
"Private punishment is forbidden in Prince Ning's Mansion. Please stand aside and let Madam explain the whole story to me."
The head nanny of Chuxiu Palace was surnamed Yang. She was also an old employee of the Ning Wang Mansion in the capital. She was the first group to arrive in Yanjing with Ning Wang two years ago.
She thought the princess was still as cowardly as before, so she walked up to Shen Yuyao and bowed, saying, "To answer your question, princess, this little maid is not from the Ning Palace. She is the personal maid of Lady Feng, brought from the Li Dynasty."
"When the Empress sent the young ladies to Prince Ning's mansion, she specifically allowed them to bring a personal maid with them."
"How dare you!" Shen Yuyao frowned.
Seeing that Shen Yuyao was angry, Nanny Yang didn't dare to continue to be arrogant. She quickly knelt down and said, "Princess, everything I said is true."
"Then let me ask you, since she was Lady Feng's maidservant who came with her as a dowry, and Lady Feng is already a member of Prince Ning's Mansion, why is her maid not one?" Shen Yuyao said in a stern voice.
After all, Prince Ning is about to return to Yanjing from the capital, and it is time to establish some rules for Prince Ning's Mansion.
"this....."
"Madam Yang, you are an old member of Prince Ning's Mansion, and you could make such a low-level mistake!"
"I know I was wrong!
"Okay, since you know you're wrong, I'll fine you one month's salary." Shen Yuyao saw that Nanny Yang admitted her mistake and didn't make things difficult for her. She continued to ask, "Chenxiang, what exactly did this girl do wrong?"
"Reporting to the Princess, today Huang came to me and said that Feng's personal maid Chenxiang spread rumors that Huang had a lover before she came to Daxia."
"Who? Who has a lover?"
