Hearing the commotion, the common people in the city flocked to join in the fun, asking which young man was getting married with such a grand display.
When they finally understood that it was actually the King of Qin who was going to the Shen family to propose marriage, they all showed expressions of regret.
The peony is truly a national beauty; its blooming stirs the capital.
The beauty of Miss Shen Er was known throughout Tokyo, but now this delicate peony flower had been plucked by the most ruthless King Qin.
Since ancient times, beautiful women have often had tragic fates.
What a pity.
.
In addition to sending 120 loads of betrothal gifts, the Prince of Qin's residence also sent two tutors.
The old nanny was an elder in the palace, specially appointed by the Empress, who said that she was afraid the Princess Qin would not know the rules, so she would teach her the manners first.
Upon hearing that the person was bestowed by the Empress, Shen Youying understood the other party's intentions.
It was nothing more than the incident at the Zhou family's villa that caused Prince Chen to be reprimanded by the Emperor and the Zhou family to lose face. The Empress disliked her as the "culprit" and wanted to vent her anger.
Shen Youying lowered her eyes and respectfully led the person back.
The headmistresses had come on a mission, expecting that such a pampered young lady, forced to marry the Prince of Qin, would surely be unwilling and weeping, giving them plenty of opportunities to "teach her manners." But to their surprise, Shen Youying didn't cry or make a fuss, and calmly embroidered her wedding veil, awaiting her marriage.
Seeing this, the two nannies had no choice but to try a different approach.
"Your Highness's etiquette and manners are impeccable, and we servants have nothing more to teach you. There is only one thing we would like Your Highness to remember."
Shen Youying replied docilely, "Please speak, Granny."
The two maids exchanged a glance, and one of them lowered her voice and said, "The Princess Consort has probably heard some of the rumors about His Highness Prince Qin. As instructors, in addition to teaching etiquette and manners, we are also responsible for guiding the Princess Consort on how to serve His Highness Prince Qin. His Highness detests disobedient women in bed. Those women who were carried out of the Prince's residence before met such a fate because they were not obedient enough."
The two men ostensibly offered instruction, but in reality, they were intimidating people.
Every word and sentence implies to Shen Youying that the rumors circulating in the streets are true, that the King of Qin did indeed have a sadistic fetish in bed, and that he had tortured and killed many women.
The two old women watched Shen Youying with a leisurely air, waiting for her reaction.
If she hears that her future husband is abusive, this delicate young woman will surely be terrified and lose her composure, saying some rebellious things, or even arguing that she will not go through with the marriage.
Once she speaks up, they can teach her proper manners.
But Shen Youying seemed to be stunned. She sat there for a long time with red eyes, and pearl-like tears slid down her fair and jade-like face. She held her heart and said in a weak and submissive manner, "I understand what you mean, Granny. Now that I am the Princess Consort of Qin, I will obey Your Highness in everything and will never disobey you."
