They had someone tidy up the three princesses' belongings and make all the beds. There were four beds in the room, but only the three of them were there now. The other one seemed to be Prince Yu's daughter. She often played with Chenghuan and the other two, so they were quite familiar with each other. She probably hadn't arrived yet.
After making the beds, Mingxiu took the three of them to the cafeteria. The cafeteria here was just like the modern ones, with standardized utensils for serving food. You could just carry the food directly and ask someone to serve you whatever you wanted.
Inside the cafeteria, several large characters were posted on the ceiling: "Farmers toil under the midday sun, their sweat drips onto the soil. Who knows that every grain on the plate is the result of hard work?" This was meant to remind everyone not to waste food.
Mingxiu had several labels and arrows made in the kitchen, clearly stating that after finishing their meals, they should take their lunchboxes to the designated location, and that they should only take as much as they could eat to avoid waste.
They even assigned people to stand guard next to the trash cans, so anyone who wasted too much trash would be reminded.
These people are all backed by the Emperor, so they are naturally not afraid of offending others. In addition, since they are all women, they are thin-skinned and will not go too far with others.
Today is the first day of school, so there are a lot of people, and the food is the best. Mingxiu looked around and ordered a spicy diced chicken, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried vegetables, rice, and soup. Then she picked up her chopsticks, found a seat, and started eating.
The three people following behind curiously followed Mingxiu's actions and gave her instructions one by one.
It wasn't just the three of them who were curious; everyone in the cafeteria was also curious, as they had never seen anything like it before. Of course, some were dissatisfied, because it should have been served directly to them.
However, most people accepted it happily, since they could choose their favorite dishes, and most importantly, the food here tasted really good.
Moreover, many of the dishes were ones they had never eaten before, and they exclaimed in surprise, marveling at how delicious the food was, even better than what they ate at home, and most importantly, how cheap it was.
Mingxiu, who was listening nearby, was also very happy. She smiled and urged the three of them to eat quickly. Because of the huge warning that Mingxiu had posted in the cafeteria, everyone was curious but still ordered according to their own appetite, otherwise it would be bad if they couldn't finish their food.
After finishing their meal, Mingxiu took the three of them to walk around the playground and the classrooms. Many people recognized Mingxiu along the way, but the people Mingxiu had arranged would stop anyone who tried to approach her.
So they weren't bothered by anyone and had a pretty pleasant time.
After taking a final tour, Cheng Huan was overjoyed. It was so comfortable here that she didn't want to go back even if she were asked to.
After seeing that the three of them had adapted, Mingxiu left, leaving the three of them still wandering around the academy.
They thought it was normal, but for many others, it was a huge shock. Because this was a girls' academy, only girls could go in. The parents who came to send them off were also women, and they were usually the matriarchs of large families. So everyone kept seeing the families of this minister and that minister. Most importantly, they also saw the Imperial Noble Consort.
After the initial surprise, they became even more excited, so it turned out that several princesses from the palace were indeed studying here.
Everyone was immediately excited. It would only be beneficial to get along well with the princess in the palace, and since they would all be classmates, they would naturally take things a step further.
Everyone was very satisfied with the college's arrangements. Even though some people felt the dormitory was too small, they didn't say anything, as they were already mentally prepared before coming.
Moreover, this was arranged by the Imperial Noble Consort, so even if they had objections, they couldn't voice them.
Moreover, no one had any objections. After all, being able to leave home was already a happy thing, and these little things could be ignored.
Mingxiu had been busy for a long time and was indeed quite tired, but the school was almost finished being built. She could make changes later if she found anything that wasn't right.
Although she was very tired, Mingxiu was really happy today because it was Yinreng's wedding day. So Mingxiu got up early and sat down at the dressing table to get ready.
This is Yinreng's big day! He must dress up beautifully today.
The palace was filled with joy today. Yinreng was the crown prince, and the scale of this wedding was second only to that of the emperor. However, since there was no specific scale for the crown prince's wedding before, no one really knew how to proceed. This matter was discussed for a long time before it was decided.
The scale was half a level lower than that of the emperor's wedding, but it was indeed much higher than that of the princes' weddings.
Emperor Kangxi was truly happy today, as this was the wedding of his most beloved son. He had even spent the entire night discussing it with Mingxiu, his emotions running high.
Mingxiu packed her things early and dressed up beautifully, ready to go to the front to receive the wives of the court officials and some of the clansmen of the Grandmaster.
There was no other way; since there was no empress in the palace, she was now the person in the highest position, so it was only appropriate for her to handle these matters.
Mingxiu dressed beautifully and then headed to the main hall. She was an Imperial Noble Consort but not the Empress, so she didn't have to wear grand and solemn clothes like Emperor Kangxi and sit on the throne for people to worship. When Mingxiu arrived, many of the imperial relatives were already there. Mingxiu walked over with a smile and began to greet them.
Although it was called a greeting, she was the highest-ranking person present, and everyone was smart enough to understand. So all she needed to do was be there and say a few words; other matters would be handled by others.
