That's why she wanted to take a shortcut, using her remaining points and the system to exchange for them, so that she could learn all the rules of the palace without having to suffer.
[The exchange has been completed for the host.] The system's mechanical voice announced.
Soon, a memory that didn't belong to her flooded into Ren Nuanyun's mind. However, since this memory didn't belong to her, Ren Nuanyun's head ached for a long time before she recovered.
As she sorted through the memories in her mind, Ren Nuanyun's smile grew wider and wider, followed by a look of smugness. Having a system was really amazing; she could acquire things that others had studied for over ten or even several decades simply by using points.
Tomorrow she'll see how that old nanny will make things difficult for her now that she's learned all the rules overnight.
With a satisfied smile, Ren Nuanyun finally had her first comfortable sleep in a long time.
The next morning, before spring even arrived, Ren Nuanyun had already gotten out of bed and prepared what she needed to learn that day before Granny Yan arrived.
When Granny Yan saw Ren Nuanyun suddenly becoming so diligent, a hint of surprise flashed through her mind, but she quickly regained her composure, assuming that Ren Nuanyun had already become afraid.
"This old servant greets the Princess." Granny Yan first gave Ren Nuanyun a slight bow.
"Mingxiu greets Granny Yan." Although Granny Yan's status was lower, she was still an elder in the palace. Even though Ren Nuanyun was a princess, she still had to bow to her to show respect.
Seeing Ren Nuanyun suddenly bow so properly, Granny Yan was a little surprised. She had only given Ren Nuanyun simple guidance on the etiquette of bowing twice, but had not formally taught her. Just yesterday, her bowing was still improper, so how come it was so standard today?
Granny Yan was full of doubts, but she assumed that Ren Nuanyun had not rested at night and had trained hard. She couldn't help but feel a little gratified. Although the Emperor and the Empress had instructed her to teach Ren Nuanyun manners well, she would not make things difficult for Ren Nuanyun without reason as long as Ren Nuanyun was willing to learn diligently.
"The princess's manners today were exceptionally impeccable." Granny Yan looked Ren Nuanyun up and down with admiration.
"Thank you for the compliment, Granny."
“Very good, Princess, you have made great progress, but please continue to work hard. Princess, please finish learning the rules as soon as possible so that this old servant can go back and report sooner.” Granny Yan nodded.
Then he gestured to the maid behind him to come forward with a tray. On the tray were two jade hairpins and a long pearl tassel for tying up hair.
Granny Yan took the hairpins from the tray and put them on both sides of Ren Nuanyun's hair bun. She then took the pearl tassels and put them on the back of her hair. After that, she took two steps back and bowed to Ren Nuanyun.
"Princess, today we will continue learning to walk. The rules for today are very simple: no matter what happens, no matter how fast you walk, you must ensure that the hair ornaments and tassels on your head can only tremble slightly at most. Princess, has this old servant explained it clearly?"
Ren Nuanyun nodded, but inwardly she sneered, "Old hag, I'll show you what it means to look down on people and what it means to be a genius."
Ren Nuanyun strode forward, and the hairpin and tassels did not sway at all. Everyone present stared at Ren Nuanyun in shock. They never expected that Ren Nuanyun would learn this rule in one go.
Granny Yan frowned slightly. "Please, Princess, continue walking and take a few more steps."
Granny Yan had taught etiquette for most of her life and had trained many women in manners. Even young ladies from noble families needed to have their bowing movements modified. But Ren Nuanyun was like a noble lady who had been in the deep palace for a long time, and there was not a single fault in her.
Ren Nuanyun intended to give Granny Yan a fright, so she walked for another quarter of an hour. Whether she walked slowly or jogged quickly, the hair ornaments and tassels on Ren Nuanyun's head seemed to be fixed on them, not moving at all.
The maids looked at Ren Nuanyun with envy and shock. Although Granny Yan felt a little strange, she didn't say anything.
“Your Highness did very well. I have been teaching people manners for many years and have never met anyone as intelligent as Your Highness. You did it perfectly without even having to demonstrate.”
"Now that these princesses have already learned it completely, let's continue learning."
From then on, whether it was drinking tea or eating, or even playing musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting, Ren Nuanyun did everything extremely well, and Granny Yan couldn't find any flaws at all.
Everyone else cast envious glances at Ren Nuanyun, and even Chunyi was startled by Ren Nuanyun's appearance today.
Only Granny Yan had a serious expression. Granny Yan kept praising Ren Nuanyun, but she felt extremely strange in her heart. This was simply impossible.
She had never met anyone like this before, who could do nothing well one day, but the next day, without being taught anything, could do everything perfectly.
In some places, even Granny Yan felt that she couldn't do as well as Ren Nuanyun.
This is not something that should happen to a normal person. Granny Yan shook her head inwardly and became more vigilant. This Ren Nuanyun was too strange.
It was so strange that Granny Yan felt she wasn't human. Granny Yan comforted herself while reciting all the rules, but Ren Nuanyun still did everything perfectly. Even some of the questions Granny Yan asked, Ren Nuanyun could answer fluently.
In the afternoon, as the sun was setting, looking at the person in front of her, Nuanyun, Granny Yan concealed her surprise and shock, praised Ren Nuanyun a couple of times, and then got up to take her leave. "Now that the princess has learned all the rules, this old servant's task is complete. The princess should rest well, and this old servant will now return to the palace."
"Mingxiu is seeing Granny off." Ren Nuanyun was a little surprised to hear that Granny Yan was leaving. She had thought that Granny Yan was deliberately making her suffer and tormenting her by teaching her manners. She didn't expect her to leave so soon.
It's good that she left. That old man dared to make things difficult for her. But at least she didn't do anything wrong. Let her go, so I won't have to see her and get annoyed.
After seeing off Granny Yan, Ren Nuanyun was in a great mood. She took a bath, changed her clothes, and began to admire the things that the Empress had bestowed upon her.
After leaving the Marquis of Dingguo's residence, Granny Yan's face darkened as she boarded the carriage to return to the palace. This was not because Ren Nuanyun had not given her a reward when she left, but because of Ren Nuanyun's behavior today.
After returning to the palace, Granny Yan went directly to see the Emperor.
"This old servant greets Your Majesty." Granny Yan knelt on the ground and bowed to the Emperor.
"Get up. Didn't you go to teach the bishop of Mingxiu County the rules? Why are you back? What, did she give you a hard time?" The emperor glanced at the person on the ground.
“This old servant has taught Princess Mingxiu all the rules, and Princess Mingxiu has learned them all, so this old servant will return to the palace,” Granny Yan said, standing up and bowing her head.
