A group of young women who initially had other ideas were stunned by the old woman's words. They all decided to wait and see, since it was too difficult to get them to give up completely.
The nanny didn't expect to make the young ladies behave themselves with just a few words. If it were that simple, the palace wouldn't have been plagued with so many incidents lately.
After the initial slap, it's time for a sweet treat. The nanny turned to comfort her, "Princess ladies, please don't be too nervous. As long as you follow the palace rules, half a month shouldn't be long, and you will all get what you want."
"Thank you for your guidance, Granny."
"It's all what a servant should do."
The first round of exchanges between the two sides officially came to an end. The old woman was satisfied and then introduced the other old women who had not spoken to Xiuning and the others.
These people were the ones in charge of all the major and minor affairs of Chuxiu Palace, including the matrons who taught them etiquette and manners.
After the introductions were completed, about half an hour had passed.
The young women, dressed in flowerpot-shaped platform shoes, were delicate and frail, and could hardly support themselves, their bodies beginning to sway slightly from side to side.
Seeing this, the old woman simply waved her hand, said only the time for the meeting tomorrow, and then mercifully let Xiuning and the others go back to their rooms to rest.
Whew~
Seeing the nanny and her entourage leave, everyone in the main hall breathed a sigh of relief.
There's no other reason than the immense pressure and overwhelming aura emanating from them. They were just newcomers to the palace, and even if they were capable, they couldn't withstand such a sudden attack.
The main hall had no living quarters; it was only used to teach them etiquette.
Xiuning quickly calmed herself down and hurried back to her room.
Many other young ladies-in-waiting shared her thoughts, including Dong E Jingxin, Yiergen Jue Luo Yiyun, and Xiu Ning, who were born around the same time.
"Are all three of you staying in room number two?"
A clear, melodious female voice suddenly came from behind.
Xiu Ning turned around and saw that it was Shu Mulu Shi. Her intention to speak immediately faded.
What's there to say about harboring malice towards her?
“Yes, I wonder what this princess is like?” Dong E Jingxin was quite the social butterfly and quickly picked up on Shumulu’s words, her eyes glancing at Guarjia behind Shumulu.
"I am Shumulu Yixuan, and this is Guarjia Yuxi, who also lives in room number two."
Shu Mulu Yixuan smiled, her eyes quickly sweeping over Xiuning on her left.
"So, all five of us in this room are here now."
After Dong E Jingxin finished speaking, she took the opportunity to introduce Xiu Ning and Yi Yun.
"Long time no see," Xiu Ning nodded to Guarjia Yu Xi.
"Does Sister Guarjia know Sister Xitala?"
As expected of the woman who has been paying close attention to Xiu Ning, Shu Mulu Yixuan couldn't help but glance at the four of them as soon as she spoke.
Guarjia frowned. "It was just a chance encounter during the preliminary selection where we exchanged greetings."
Okay, let's not stand at the door, let's go inside and rest."
Dong E Jingxin agreed, "I definitely need to rest well. I heard there are classes all day tomorrow."
Shu Mulu Yixuan asked in surprise, "After all this time, what inside information does Sister Dong'e have?"
Xiu Ning chuckled, "Didn't Sister Shu Mulu hear what Granny just said?"
Shumulu Yixuan: ...
