Jiang Yue ate a lot of dried plums along the way and didn't dare to drink water, afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold it in later.
This was, in fact, her first time entering the palace.
Oh no, this is the first time I've ever seen a palace.
Unlike what you see in movies and TV dramas, the palace in front of you is a real place that makes you feel a sense of awe.
The atmosphere was so oppressive; the sun was shining brightly, and what should have been a sweltering day felt chilly.
Without exaggeration, Jiang Yue felt goosebumps all over her body.
"Princess Xiangyun, this way please~"
"oh."
The old woman seemed to have found her place, her forced smile only adding to the chilling atmosphere without her realizing it.
Jiang Yue thought to herself, "In the palace, how many layers of face powder do the nannies usually apply?"
This is kind of scary, especially with those two blobs of highland red added.
It's hard to explain, but it would definitely scare someone to death in the middle of the night!
"May I ask, Princess, why are you staring at me so intently?"
The old nanny was somewhat displeased. As she led the princess into the palace through a side gate, she couldn't help but ask a question.
"Ah~ To be honest, your makeup today is strangely beautiful. I've never seen it before, so I took a few extra glances."
Jiang Yue smiled and blatantly lied.
There was no other way; this was the palace, and she couldn't afford to offend this old nanny in broad daylight.
For now, we'll keep a low profile and try to get by.
She needed to lower the other party's guard so that she could act accordingly.
"I didn't realize the princess was so eloquent. If the princess likes it, after Her Majesty the Empress has summoned her, I will have a palace maid send her a few boxes of perfume."
The old nanny's stern face suddenly broke into a smile.
But this smile didn't make her look kind and gentle; instead, it made her even more sinister...
Thank you!
What can Jiang Yue say? As long as she's happy.
But why did it take so long to reach the Empress's palace?
Fortunately, given her rank, eunuchs and palace maids bowed and greeted her throughout the journey.
If she occasionally encountered a concubine, she didn't need to deal with her; the old nanny would simply and forcefully dismiss her.
Judging from this, this old woman is quite capable.
After walking for about an hour without much rest, they finally arrived at the Empress's Phoenix Palace.
"Why is the old woman so late?"
"How so?"
"Her Majesty the Empress has been waiting for a long time, but has not seen you return. She is tired and is taking a nap. She is not available to receive guests."
"What should we do? In that case, we can only have Princess Xiangyun wait outside the palace."
"That's the only way. I heard that the princess used to be a country woman and probably doesn't know much about etiquette. Why don't you teach her some manners, so she won't be impolite when she meets the Empress?"
"Oh dear, I forgot to teach the princess manners! She deserves a beating!"
"There's no time to lose, Granny, why don't you take advantage of the Empress's absence and properly teach the Princess some manners?"
"Yes, that's how it should be."
The old nanny and another palace maid were singing in unison, clearly indicating that the Empress wanted to torment her.
Jiang Yue was exhausted from walking and also felt angry.
Okay, very good.
Is this the kind of attitude you expect when you need someone's help?
Fine, since she thinks she's a country bumpkin, then she'll adopt that kind of country bumpkin attitude!
"Ouch, my stomach hurts! Where's the outhouse?"
"I can't take it anymore, I really need to poop! I need to poop!"
"Oh dear, Your Highness, you mustn't do that! This is the palace, where would we find a latrine?"
Upon hearing this, the old woman's face immediately turned ashen.
Outhouse, what an undignified term!
Diarrhea, defecating—is this the kind of description a princess of high status would utter?
Just thinking about it makes me feel nauseous!
"Ugh~"
The palace maid, who had just been singing along with the old nanny, couldn't stand it anymore and felt nauseous.
Good heavens! How could this princess from another family be so unconventional as to say such a thing!
"Why isn't there a latrine in the palace? I'm about to need to relieve myself, take me there now!"
When Jiang Yue goes crazy, no one can control her.
It's just a matter of singing and responding. Just because she doesn't have a partner doesn't mean she can't put on a show!
"Quickly, quickly, take the princess to the side hall to change her clothes!"
The old nanny pinched her nose and hurriedly gave instructions to the other palace maids.
Upon hearing this, the other palace maids suppressed their disgust and led the person to a side hall.
The term "changing clothes" was a refined expression used by noblewomen when they needed to urinate or relieve themselves.
Jiang Yue knew that, but she just loved to annoy people, even making way for them as she walked:
"Why did I change my clothes when they were perfectly fine?"
"Ouch, my stomach hurts!"
"Ouch~"
......
The old nanny frowned and hurried into the palace to report to the Empress that the person had been brought there.
But this person is extremely rude and doesn't understand manners...
The Empress frowned. How could someone who behaved like this be worthy of being granted the title of Princess?
And what about the cure for that herpes? Could it be that she has to give up the body that crazy woman gave her...?
This is terrifying! Quick, get the female doctor here!
She wouldn't allow herself to be touched by a crazy, low-class woman!
Jiang Yue was taken to a side hall, which was indeed quite remote.
The palace maids led her to a room with a chamber pot, indicating that she should change her clothes, which meant she should use the toilet.
He then lit the incense burner and left the room to wait outside the hall.
I must say, it smells quite good.
However, her stomach pain was fake, her bowel movement was fake, and her urination was real.
Since that empress wanted to torment her, she would make her wait, using the excuse of going to the restroom to stall for time, and return the favor.
And so, without any hesitation, she squatted down at the urinal, then found a place to sit, occasionally calling out:
"Ouch~"
"My stomach hurts, what did I eat wrong?"
"Your Majesty, are you not in a hurry?"
The young palace maids outside the hall covered their noses as they replied:
"No rush, Your Majesty, please make yourself at home, Princess."
It's just... do as you please~
Just in case, Jiang Yue stayed in the hall for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Before leaving, she also poured a can of herring into the toilet.
Don't ask why, the answer is simple: I want to do it this way!
Later, I heard from a lowly eunuch in the latrine that one day, a chamber pot was sent to one of the concubines in the harem because she had an upset stomach. It was disgusting!
It's the Phoenix Palace...
Well, everyone dispersed, no longer daring to discuss it.
Later, when the Empress was banished to the Cold Palace, not a single eunuch in the latrine was willing to leave...
That's a story for another time.
"Squeak~"
The palace doors were opened, and a stench that seemed to hit right at the top of one's head rushed out.
Two palace maids, caught off guard, inhaled the poison and collapsed to the ground.
It was foaming at the mouth and its eyes were rolling back.
"Ugh~"
The old nanny who had been waiting nearby originally intended to tell the Empress that she had believed the story and would receive the Princess.
But as soon as the princess opened the door, the strange stench made her unable to hold it in and she started to gag!
Good heavens, what did this princess eat?
Good heavens, how could anyone in the world produce such an ugly poop?
Ugh~
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry. I caught a chill last night, and the food I ate was still digesting. I couldn't hold it in and I had too much diarrhea."
Jiang Yue shielded her sense of smell beforehand and greeted the old nanny with a smile.
Go ahead and vomit, it's all for your master's sake~
