The old woman deliberately made things difficult for a vegetarian and Buddhist person, and Wan Ge was also very curious to know what the princess was up to.
Was she the kind of person she thought she was, or was the princess just testing her, or rather, testing her own position in Qi Yan's eyes?
Since the eldest princess had already asked her to go, Wange couldn't possibly refuse, so she went with the nanny.
Ning Lu, standing behind Wan Ge, was somewhat worried. She had a bad feeling about it.
…
Before entering, Wan Ge glanced at the plaque in front of the palace and instantly realized that this palace should have been the residence of the Empress Dowager.
It must have been because the late Empress Dowager cherished this daughter and kept her by her side. After she became Empress Dowager, she brought her here and let her live here.
When Wan Ge followed the old woman inside, the woman was still chanting scriptures. But... the moment Wan Ge saw that person, she could smell the blood on her hands. This Princess... is truly not simple.
Now that Du Wan'ge is neither the Empress nor a junior, she naturally has to pay her respects to the Princess. However, the Princess seems not to hear her and continues chanting scriptures.
After a long while, the princess finished reciting the sutra and opened her eyes to look at Wan Ge.
With a faint smile on his face, and a hint of apology in his voice, he said to his wife, "Ah, the Imperial Concubine has arrived. Please have a seat."
Although the other person seemed engrossed in chanting scriptures and didn't seem to hear her, Wan Ge already understood the other person's motives.
This aunt and niece both gave me a hard time right from the start; that's interesting. I wonder if Qi Yan will follow their bad example?
Wan Ge sat up properly and spoke softly, "I wonder what business Your Highness has with me?"
The eldest princess still had a faint smile on her face, and her tone was as gentle as that of an easy-going elder: "It's nothing, I just heard that Ayan is newly married and wanted to see what the Imperial Concubine looks like. Now that I've seen her, the Imperial Concubine is indeed stunningly beautiful, no wonder Ayan likes her."
"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness," Wan Ge said obediently, her behavior perfectly proper.
Then the eldest princess added, "I heard that the Imperial Concubine grew up in a martial arts sect, but I didn't expect that her behavior and manners are in no way inferior to those young ladies from wealthy families."
On the surface, the princess's words seemed innocuous, but even with the most sarcastic tone, Wan Ge understood. The princess was mocking her, implying that having grown up in the martial world, she was expected to be an unruly and impulsive young girl, but it turned out she was quite good. It also subtly suggested that her upbringing in the martial world meant the title of "rich young lady" was no longer applicable to her.
Wan Ge calmly accepted the letter: "Although I grew up in the martial world, my father had people teach me etiquette from a young age."
That's true. When the original owner was a child, she did have an older nanny teaching her.
Their conversation was like kicking a ball around, with neither of them getting hurt in the end.
It took a while before the princess released the person.
Wan Ge bowed again and left.
The old woman standing next to the princess said directly, "She really doesn't know what's good for her, daring to speak to His Highness like that."
The old woman was naturally somewhat resentful for not getting any advantage from Wan Ge, and she felt it was even more important to whisper some unfriendly words to the princess about this situation.
