Lin Xiuyan was woken up and was a little angry. She put on her clothes and jumped out of bed.
Looking at Lin Xiuyan's angry face, Ye Junfei smiled and advised her, "When you hit someone, don't hit too hard, or your hand will hurt."
Lin Xiuyan glanced at him, smiled, walked out, and slapped Xu Mama several times with her left and right hands.
Granny Xu had been stung several times on her face yesterday, and when she was slapped like that, combined with the venom from the wasps, she almost died on the spot.
Granny Xu looked at Lin Xiuyan in astonishment and said, "How dare you hit me!"
Lin Xiuyan said coldly, "That's exactly what I'm going to do! You've been by the Princess's side for so long, haven't you learned anything about respect and hierarchy?"
"I am the Crown Prince's Consort, how dare you barge into my room?" (Biquge)
Granny Xu covered her face and said, "This old servant did not barge into the Princess Consort's room!"
Lin Xiuyan looked at her and said, "If you had barged into the room, you would be dead already!"
"Article 76 of the Prince's Mansion Rules states that servants in the mansion shall not disturb their master's rest without the master's permission; violators shall be punished with five strokes of the cane."
"I didn't let anyone help you because you're old, I just slapped you a few times myself, you should thank me."
Granny Xu was surprised that she had memorized the Prince's Mansion's rules in such a short time, and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Remembering the instructions from the Princess Consort of Pingnan, she could only suppress her resentment for the time being.
She gritted her teeth and said, "It was this old servant who overstepped his bounds. Thank you for the reward, Your Highness!"
Lin Xiuyan snorted coldly, turned around and went back to her room, slamming the door shut.
Ye Junfei found it amusing while listening from inside the room.
There are many rules in the Prince of Pingnan's mansion, and there are a lot of articles in the mansion's family rules.
Many of those rules are known to everyone, but they are difficult to fully comply with.
In addition, since Xu Mama was a person close to the Princess of Pingnan, no one dared to punish her, and she didn't take Lin Xiuyan seriously.
That's why Lin Xiuyan was able to find fault with her and beat her up directly.
Seeing Lin Xiuyan enter, he chuckled and asked, "When did you memorize the Prince's Mansion's rules?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "The day after our wedding, you gave me a book of family rules. I was trying to find loopholes in it, so I memorized it as well."
She had developed a habit in her past life: when she arrived at a place, she would first find out the rules and customs of that place.
This would allow her to survive well there while also exploiting certain loopholes to do what she wanted.
She has kept this habit to this day.
Although she doesn't have a photographic memory, her memory is better than average.
She could basically memorize the hundreds of family rules of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion after carefully reading them two or three times.
Once she memorized it, she knew what she could and couldn't do.
Knowing all this, dealing with someone was no longer difficult for her.
After all, these people have been arrogant for so long, and they've practically handed her all their faults and vulnerabilities.
Ye Junfei wasn't too surprised to hear her words.
He knew beforehand that she was extremely intelligent and that although she seemed bold in her actions, she always knew how to maintain a proper balance.
He said with some emotion, "I think I've married a treasure."
Lin Xiuyan found his posture of leaning against the bed too alluring.
She couldn't resist reaching out and pinching his cheek, saying, "You're only just realizing this?"
She regretted it a little after she finished, after all, the action was too intimate, and he had many bad habits, so she didn't know if she would offend him.
Unexpectedly, Ye Junfei pulled her hand and placed it on his other cheek: "Pinch this side too, to match."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She felt once again that the Ye Junfei before her was completely different from the Ye Junfei in her memories of her past life.
She chuckled softly and reached out to pinch it.
Ye Junfei then took the opportunity to kiss the back of her hand.
When he saw her looking over, he smiled and said, "It's only fair to reciprocate."
Lin Xiuyan felt that his use of this word was a bit strange; what kind of reciprocity was this!
But for some reason, a sweet feeling quietly welled up in her heart.
She pursed her lips and said, "I think you're just taking advantage of me!"
Ye Junfei smiled: "It's as if you didn't take advantage of me."
The two exchanged a few words, and smiles unconsciously crept into their eyes.
The two vaguely felt that even though the palace was fraught with danger, they had nothing to fear with each other by their side.
Ye Junfei asked her, "Granny Xu is sure to torture you severely today. Have you thought of a way to deal with it?"
Lin Xiuyan shook her head: "No, I prefer to improvise for these kinds of things."
Ye Junfei's lips twitched.
Every time she performs on the spot, she gives people a huge surprise.
After Lin Xiuyan finished washing up, she pushed open the door and went out. Granny Xu was standing outside with a dark face.
Because of Lin Xiuyan's slaps, Granny Xu's face was now swollen like a steamed bun.
Her eyes weren't very big to begin with, and now they were squeezed into slits.
Ignoring Xu Mama's resentful eyes, Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "Alright, we can start learning etiquette now."
Granny Xu gestured for Lin Xiuyan to go, and, maintaining her airs, told her to go to Jingwu Pavilion to learn etiquette.
When Lin Xiuyan arrived at Jingwu Pavilion, she discovered that she was not the only one who had come to learn etiquette today; there were also quite a few concubine's daughters.
Even Ye Qingwan came.
As the eldest daughter of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion, Ye Qingwan had long since mastered all the etiquette.
She came today because she was afraid that Granny Xu would bully Lin Xiuyan.
She thought that with her there, Granny Xu wouldn't go too far.
She had heard about what happened yesterday. She happened to be away from the palace when it occurred, and when she returned and heard the maid talking about it, she was completely stunned.
She truly hadn't expected that so many interesting things would happen at the Prince's Mansion as soon as Lin Xiuyan returned; she only wished she hadn't experienced them herself.
She looked at Lin Xiuyan and said, "You've just entered the Prince's Mansion and this is your first time learning etiquette. It doesn't matter if your movements aren't perfect. Take your time."
Lin Xiuyan understood what she meant and nodded slightly.
Ye Qingwan then said to Granny Xu, "I know that you have very high standards when you teach us etiquette."
"But my sister-in-law has only recently entered the Prince's residence, so please be lenient with her, Granny."
She saw that Granny Xu's usually stern face now looked like a big red steamed bun, and she couldn't help but want to laugh.
This magnificent scene is truly spectacular.
Xu Mama's face was still burning with pain. When she heard this, she only said, "Your Highness is joking. The Princess Consort is so smart, she can learn anything very quickly."
"Furthermore, the Crown Princess will be attending the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony next month. If she doesn't learn all the etiquette, what will outsiders think of the Prince's residence?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Xiuyan with a forced smile and said, "In order for the Crown Princess to participate perfectly in the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony, this old servant will strictly require the Crown Princess to meet these requirements."
"Please forgive me if there is anything inappropriate when I teach the Crown Princess etiquette later."
