"The palace? I didn't expect to be in charge of so many things." After Meng Qi said this, she saw Wang's puzzled look and quickly changed her tone, "Mother, you're confused. How could Prince Rui let me use my dowry to manage the affairs of his palace? The outer palace has been managed by the prince for many years. Not to mention that the inner palace has been controlled by Concubine Lin for so many years. Even the other things, there are also the eunuchs and maids in charge of the inner palace. It's not so easy to take over."
Meng Wan burst into laughter when she heard this. "How much research has Fourth Sister done? How come she knows so much about the palace?"
Meng Qi was stunned, turning the cup in her hand. Do you understand? Not really. If you really understood, how could you have made so many mistakes?
"Mom, what kind of tea is this? It tastes really good."
Meng Wan looked at Meng Qi's sudden smile and frowned slightly. Which words touched her sensitive spot?
"This is what your second sister made. Don't you have some in your yard?"
Meng Qi understood. It turned out that the tea she had been drinking recently was made by Meng Wan. She smiled and said, "No, did Second Sister only give it to mother?"
Meng Wan smiled, "This is specially made for mother. It's good for her heart. Fourth sister can drink it too. It's good for daily nourishment."
Meng Qi nodded with a smile and took Wang's arm. "Mother, do you think the teaching maids sent by the palace will be very powerful? Should we give them more money and ask them to turn a blind eye?"
Wang smiled and tapped Meng Qi's forehead. "You, you always have so many thoughts every day. That's the royal rule. If it weren't for the fact that Prince Rui and you were married just after the first month of the lunar year, you would have gone to the palace to learn the rules."
Meng Qi sighed and leaned on Wang's shoulder again. "When I went to the palace with my mother before, we had to kneel and pay our respects. It was so tedious. It gives me a headache just thinking about it now. I wish I hadn't gotten married."
Wang's face darkened. "You must change your outspokenness. What if outsiders hear this and report it to the Huainan Marquisate?"
Meng Qi looked at Wang's displeasure and chuckled, "That's what I said to you, mother. Don't worry, I will study hard and will never embarrass you."
Meng Wan also smiled, "Don't worry, mother. Fourth sister is just in a childish mood and wants to play a little. She is so smart, she will definitely learn it quickly. Besides, Fourth sister has also learned some rules and etiquette since elementary school, but the royal family has more strict rules. You should worry about me instead of her. I really don't understand anything at all."
Meng Qi put away her smile and looked at Meng Wan who was speaking to Wang with a sincere face. These days, she had heard Liu Mama and Yuan Dong talk about the past of this second sister. They were full of praise for her. She had no petty attitude of a servant at all, and was calm and smart.
After being recognized as the second daughter of the Meng family, she did not become arrogant, but remained calm and unperturbed by praise or criticism, and was completely unconcerned about the repeated provocations. She was also able to handle the suspicion and deliberate remarks of outsiders with ease.
Listening to what they said, it didn't sound like what a maid would say at all. Could it be that she was also reborn like herself?
Meng Qi suddenly had this idea, and it seemed that she had to give it a try.
When Wang heard Meng Wan say this, she suddenly felt distressed. She scolded the Crown Prince Meng Yuan from head to toe, took her eldest daughter's hand, and said, "You don't have to learn. With your current behavior, I am 100% confident that you can marry into the County Prince's Mansion. The County Prince's Consort will not be able to find any fault with you."
Meng Qi tilted her head and said, "Mom, how about letting my second sister go to school with me? It would be great to have someone to keep her company."
Wang feigned anger and said, "You're talking nonsense again. The Queen sent someone to teach you. It's not appropriate for your second sister to accompany you. You won't give others something to talk about."
Meng Qi smiled and stood up. "I was just saying that." Then she came over and took Meng Wan's hand. "Second sister, come sit in your room for a while."
Wang was happy to see her two daughters loving each other. "Go, go. I'll ask Qiuxia to make you some hotpot tonight."
Meng Qi said happily, "Then I won't go back. I'll just have to hug you at night."
Wang gave a consoling smile and said, "You're so old, yet you still let your mother hug you. Aren't you ashamed?"
"That's nothing. Second sister is not a stranger." Meng Qi nudged Meng Wan with her elbow. "Second sister, how about we take one of us on each side tonight and let mother hold us both?"
Meng Wan nodded with a smile.
