Upon seeing that Yunzhi had not performed the kneeling ceremony, the eldest princess slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "How dare you, Yunzhi! Who gave you the audacity to disregard the Empress Dowager? Kneel down now!"
Yunzhi looked up, glanced at the Princess indifferently, and said with a smile, "Princess, the Empress Dowager hasn't spoken yet. Aren't you being a bit presumptuous? I didn't know that the princess had the final say in the inner palace since then."
"You?" The princess glared at Yunzhi with a grim expression. She had originally intended to give Yunzhi a hard time and make her kneel and pay her respects. However, Yunzhi was cunning and had actually tried to frame her.
"What did I do wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Yunzhi looked at the Princess innocently and said, "They say a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl. Now that the Princess is married, it's not appropriate for her to interfere in her own family's affairs, is it?"
Another accusation was leveled, and the Princess was already furious, opening her mouth to unleash her anger. The Empress Dowager spoke up, shouting, "Yue'er, shut up!"
Then, she looked at Yunzhi and said, "Miss Yun is quite eloquent. Does the Regent know about this?"
"Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty. The Prince certainly knows what kind of person I am. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to propose marriage, would he?"
The Empress Dowager originally intended to mock Yunzhi, but Yunzhi took it as a compliment, leaving even the Empress Dowager speechless.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was speechless, Yunzhi chuckled inwardly, but said aloud, "I wonder what Your Majesty has summoned Yunzhi for?"
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager gave Yunzhi a cold look and said, "Yunzhi, since you are going to marry into the royal family, you must learn the etiquette properly, lest you embarrass the royal family when you go out. For this reason, I have specially prepared two nannies for you. You can take them back with you when you go back later."
The Empress Dowager did it on purpose, wanting to see Yunzhi's reaction. Whether she accepted or opposed it, it would play right into her hands.
If Yunzhi objects, she can use that as an excuse to teach her a lesson. If she accepts, it will be a good opportunity for the old woman to teach Yunzhi a lesson under the guise of etiquette instruction.
No matter which one it is, she can get revenge.
Yunzhi immediately understood the Empress Dowager's scheme, so she smiled and said, "No problem. However, I am rather foolish, so please don't blame me if I anger the tutor."
"Don't worry, I don't blame you."
"Then thank you very much, Your Majesty. If there's nothing else, Yunzhi will take her leave now."
Yunzhi took her leave, and the Empress Dowager didn't refuse to let her go. In any case, she had achieved her goal; the rest was up to the two nannies.
You see, this time she's hired two of the most skilled matrons in the palace. Yunzhi is in for a rough time.
The eldest princess was resentful that the Empress Dowager had let Yunzhi off so easily. However, she knew they couldn't find a reason to punish Yunzhi, so they had no choice but to give up. Otherwise, if they angered the Regent, the consequences would be unbearable.
She had already learned her lesson once and didn't want to repeat it. She had lost a son and didn't want to lose her daughter too.
Yunzhi originally thought that the incriminating evidence against the Empress Dowager that she had prepared would come in handy, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be useless.
Well, if the Empress Dowager doesn't make things difficult for her, she naturally won't make things difficult for the other party either. She's not the kind of person who likes to fight, and she won't actively seek trouble for others unless she has no other choice.
