Chapter 106: A Show of Power
"No." Pei Jingzhou's handsome face instantly tightened.
"You laughed." Jiang Zhaoyue said confidently, "I heard laughter just now."
Pei Jingzhou denied it: "You heard it wrong."
Jiang Zhaoyue said confidently: "Impossible."
"You really heard it wrong."
"Absolutely not. Come on, laugh again."
"Don't laugh." Pei Jingzhou turned his handsome face away.
"Just laugh." Jiang Zhaoyue tickled Pei Jingzhou directly.
Pei Jingzhou didn't expect Jiang Zhaoyue to do this.
So childish!
But he broke down in an instant and laughed out loud, his voice low and pleasant.
"Now I'm laughing." Jiang Zhaoyue was very proud.
Pei Jingzhou pretended to be serious: "You are the one who made the trouble."
"Humph, you promised to have your wedding night as soon as my right foot heals, and you broke your promise."
"I said we'd have our wedding night once your right foot heals, but I didn't say when."
Jiang Zhaoyue's eyes widened: "You are cheating!"
"I learned it from you!" Pei Jingzhou said, trying not to laugh.
Jiang Zhaoyue was surprised: "I have so many good qualities, but you don't want to learn from them, but instead learn to cheat."
Pei Jingzhou looked at her: "Because you are the best at cheating."
"Okay, since you said I was cheating, I'll cheat in front of you and show you." Jiang Zhaoyue raised her head and was about to kiss Pei Jingzhou's lips.
Pei Jingzhou quickly moved away.
Jiang Zhaoyue went to kiss him again.
Pei Jingzhou hid again.
Jiang Zhaoyue kissed again.
Pei Jingzhou had no choice but to hug her tightly, making her unable to move, and said softly, "Stop making trouble."
Jiang Zhaoyue snorted.
Pei Jingzhou smiled and said, "We have to get up early tomorrow morning."
Jiang Zhaoyue was noisy, but when it came to business, she was very clear-headed. She immediately stopped teasing the handsome man and asked, "Should I get up early too?"
"Well, you will be the mistress of the East Palace from now on, so you should be familiar with everything in the East Palace."
"Oh." Jiang Zhaoyue accepted it well and asked, "Do I still need to look after Pei Jingpeng?"
Pei Jingzhou immediately said, "Stay away from him."
"Why?" As the mistress of the East Palace, isn't it normal to take care of the guests?
"You are the Crown Princess." Pei Jingzhou reminded.
Jiang Zhaoyue replied: "I know."
Pei Jingzhou added: "He is not your husband, and he can't be."
"Oh." Jiang Zhaoyue thought for a moment and came up with the answer: "Are you afraid that I'll fall in love with him?"
Pei Jingzhou snorted, "When you see a handsome man, your eyes go straight. You could be attracted to anyone."
Jiang Zhaoyue refuted seriously: "Nonsense, who can be more beautiful than Your Highness?"
Sweet talk again!
But Pei Jingzhou couldn't help but feel relieved. He said, "Let him rest quietly for two days, and then we'll move into the main house."
"All right."
"Once our clothes are ready, we will formally pay our respects to our father and mother," Pei Jingzhou said again.
Jiang Zhaoyue asked, "Do we need to go back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion again?"
"Well, when Xiao Peng gets better, we'll go back with him."
"good."
"During these days, you will follow Madam Yun to learn palace etiquette and the affairs of the Eastern Palace."
"Madam Yun?" Jiang Zhaoyue had never seen her before.
Pei Jingzhou explained: "She is the old maid in the palace and also the maid beside the Queen Mother."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked: "Does she know about you?"
Pei Jingzhou asked: "I know."
Knowing Pei Jingzhou's affairs, he hadn't revealed a single detail for all these years. He was a ruthless man, but also a loyal one. Jiang Zhaoyue nodded, "Okay."
"So good." Pei Jingzhou put his arm around Jiang Zhaoyue.
Jiang Zhaoyue was not satisfied: "That's it? Why don't you do something else?"
"Hmm?" Pei Jingzhou responded softly.
"You can hold back even with such a beautiful woman like me lying in front of you, can't you?" Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help but complain.
Pei Jingzhou did not respond.
Jiang Zhaoyue waited for a while, then slowly looked up and saw Pei Jingzhou asleep... She suddenly remembered that someone had sneaked into Linhua Courtyard last night, knocked Xiangqiao unconscious, and wanted to take her away.
He came down from the sky and saved her.
Afterwards, she followed him into the palace and slept for a while on the way, but he didn't sleep a wink all night. He then faced Xiao Zinan and others and was busy until he came back in the evening.
I didn't sleep for a whole day and night.
Maybe you haven't slept for several days.
She did not disturb him, but gently laid him down, slowly stood up, slowly got out of bed, tiptoed to the lamp, blew out the candle, walked to the bed in the dark, climbed onto the bed, and lay down next to him.
I fell asleep in a short while.
The next day she woke up to Xiangqiao's call.
"Greetings to the Crown Princess." Xiangqiao bowed.
Jiang Zhaoyue sat up suddenly: "Xiangqiao?!"
"yes."
Isn’t this the East Palace?
Jiang Zhaoyue quickly looked around and asked, "Why are you here?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried that you are not used to staying here, so he specially asked Pei Jing to bring me here to serve the Crown Princess." Xiang Qiao said.
"So that's how it is. Does the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion know about what happened in the Eastern Palace?"
"I don't know either. On the way here, Pei Jing told me something. He said that our Second Master is the current Crown Prince and you are the Crown Princess." When Xiang Qiao heard this, she was shocked and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
How come he is the prince?
Xiang Qiao was confused, but she was just a servant and had no right to ask questions. So she asked what she could ask: "Will the Crown Princess live here from now on?"
"Yes." Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
"But we don't understand the palace etiquette." Xiangqiao worried.
Jiang Zhaoyue said naturally: "I don't understand either. Someone will come to teach me later."
"Crown Princess, Nanny Yun is here." Hongcao's voice came.
"Let her in." Jiang Zhaoyue got out of bed.
Nanny Yun walked in.
When Jiang Zhaoyue looked up, he saw a slightly plump nanny who was about forty or fifty years old. She was wearing a navy blue robe with cloud patterns, her hair was combed meticulously, and her square face was tense. She looked like a stern person.
"I am Madam Yun, your old servant, here to pay my respects to the Crown Princess." Madam Yun bowed.
"Madam Yun, please stand up." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Nanny Yun stood up and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered this servant to teach the Crown Princess etiquette."
"Okay, I'll wash up and eat first." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Nanny Yun said respectfully, "Yes, I will be waiting beside you."
"Hongcao, Hongyao." Jiang Zhaoyue called out loudly.
Nanny Yun said, "Crown Princess, you are the mistress of the Eastern Palace. You can leave the matter of calling people to the palace maids. You don't have to do it yourself."
Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Nanny Yun: "Okay, I understand."
Nanny Yun continued, "Crown Princess, you are the master, and I am a palace servant. You don't have to explain to me whether you know or not."
Jiang Zhaoyue stopped talking.
Xiangqiao was a little afraid of Nanny Yun's strictness.
"Crown Princess." Hongcao and Hongyao brought in water.
Jiang Zhaoyue smiled and said, "Hey, I didn't even ask for water, and you guys brought it to me. You're really considerate."
"Crown Princess, you are the master and should not smile too much." Nanny Yun spoke again.
Jiang Zhaoyue endured it and said to Xiangqiao, "Help me wash up."
"Yes." Xiangqiao hurried forward. She was so scared and nervous that she accidentally bumped into the clothes hanger and dropped a piece of her waist. She trembled with fear.
"It's okay, just pick it up." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"Crown Princess, only by clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments can we manage the harem well." Nanny Yun spoke again.
Jiang Zhaoyue turned around and called out, "Madam Yun."
"Yes." Nanny Yun responded.
"Do you hate me?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Nanny Yun said calmly, "This old slave dares not."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked again: "Then why did you find fault as soon as you entered the room?"
Nanny Yun replied, "I am not finding fault, I am just advising you."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked unhappily, "Rules? You're just a palace maid, how can you interrupt your master when he's speaking?"
