People of Dongshan Prefecture Are Just That Unpretentious
Lord Fang looked at the list with a worried expression. He knew perfectly well who had done this.
Although he knew perfectly well who had done it, he couldn't bring himself to say it outright!
He said in a very serious tone:
"Don't worry, since the incident happened here, I will naturally send someone to investigate."
I also want to see who is so bold as to do such a thing.
This is military supplies! If something goes wrong, who can take responsibility?
Eunuch Hai glanced at him indifferently and said:
"Good to know. Oh, by the way, I'm taking this child to the palace later."
Tell her to go back and pack her clothes, and then she can stay in my villa.
Lord Fang wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? This child is still young, only six years old!"
Eunuch Hai said loudly:
"It's alright, I have a few palace maids here, they can teach her manners."
"To prevent her from offending important people when she enters the palace."
Lord Fang looked at the old eunuch and said, "Eunuch Hai, you'd better think it over. After all, this child..."
Eunuch Hai interrupted him directly, saying, "I don't need to think twice. This is the Imperial Concubine's decree; this child must come to the palace with me."
Lord Fang felt he had fulfilled his duty, and looking at Zhou Wanwan, he said, "Then go back and pack your things! You can go to the palace with Eunuch Hai later."
Zhou Wanwan nodded and obediently followed Lord Fang.
Eunuch Hai sneered, "Everyone says the bandits of Black Wind Stronghold are not to be trifled with, but I think this child is quite obedient!"
The old woman beside her sneered:
Even the most disobedient person will have to listen to us once they're in our hands, won't they?
I want to see just how disobedient this little girl can be!
Lord Fang looked at Zhou Wanwan and asked, "Are you really going to him?"
Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Yeah! I think it's pretty good, isn't it? Someone provides meals, and there's a place to stay. It's great."
Lord Fang's lips twitched:
"I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about that old eunuch."
Forget it, it has nothing to do with me. You took all those things yesterday, didn't you?"
Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Yes, I took them. But don't worry, these are all military supplies. I've already had them sent directly to the front lines."
Lord Fang's lips twitched even more violently. "You mean, you're going to take these military supplies out and send them directly to the military camp?"
"Yes, yes, that's what I think. This old eunuch must want to send him to the Great Qi Kingdom."
I certainly can't let him have his way. Wouldn't it be wonderful to send these things to the military camp now?
"Of course, this has nothing to do with you. You see, that's just how simple and unpretentious we people of Dongshan Prefecture are," Zhou Wanwan said with a smile.
Lord Fang nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. Now that it's been sent to the front lines, I can rest assured."
When Zhou Wanwan got home, she mentioned what Eunuch Hai had said.
Liu Su'e was very unhappy:
"You just got back a short while ago, why are you leaving again?"
He tells you to go to the palace, so you go to the palace!
"Once you enter the palace gates, it's like entering a deep sea; we'd better not go."
Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "This is the Imperial Concubine's decree. It's not like I can just not go. I'm just going to familiarize myself with the place."
Zhou Fusheng looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Since that's the case, why don't we all go to the capital? What do you think?"
Zhou Qingyan nodded and said:
"I think this is a great idea."
Since we'll have to take the imperial examinations sooner or later anyway, we might as well go with Wanwan this time.
Zhou Qinghe looked displeased. "What will happen to Yueyao if I go to the capital?"
Feng Yueyao and Feng Jiao came out; Feng Jiao's belly was already quite large.
Feng Jiao smiled and said:
"If you're going back to the capital, then I'll go back too."
As you all know, my family lives in the capital, and I'd like to go back and stay there for a while.
Zhou Wanwan looked at her belly and said, "You're about to give birth, aren't you? Maybe you shouldn't be rushing around like this."
Feng Jiao and said:
"We can travel by water then, which won't be tiring. I really want to go back to the capital to take a look."
I've been in Dongshan Prefecture for so many years, and I don't even know how my family is doing."
Everyone discussed going to the capital, Zhou Wanwan carried a bundle into Eunuch Hai's villa.
As soon as she stepped inside, several old women were already waiting for her.
The old women smiled insincerely and said, "Are you Miss Zhou? We are old women from the palace, sent by Eunuch Hai to teach you manners."
Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly at them and asked, "What rules?"
Several matrons said, "It's the palace rule, of course. Alright, put your bundle down first, and come find us later."
Zhou Wanwan went into the inner room and stayed there for a while before slowly walking out.
The old nanny beside her looked at her and said, "Now we'll explain the rules for palace maids and teach you how to serve your mistress."
"We all have to be dutiful in our duties while living in the inner palace, and we can't be careless in serving our masters."
Every word and action must be respectful and sensible, and everything must be done in accordance with the master's wishes.
You are no ordinary palace maid; from now on, you will be the princess's personal maid, a status far different from that of ordinary servants.
Although you are only six years old, you are still very young.
But having taken on this job, one must learn to be sensible and courteous early on, and diligently master the skills of serving others.
The old women put on stern faces and began to teach the rules strictly, using all sorts of methods to torment the children.
"You need to lift your head up; why are you hunching your neck down?"
What are you doing with your hands? Put them down!
"And your legs! Can you even walk? Didn't anyone in your family teach you how to walk?"
Zhou Wanwan glanced at the old women and said indifferently, "Your requirements are quite high! Do you want me to enter the palace as a maid?"
One of the old women snorted coldly and said:
"Since you're going to serve the princess, you have to learn all the rules of the palace."
You have these few months, so study hard!
Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Is it possible? If I go to the palace, I'll be served by a princess."
The old woman rolled her eyes and said, "You're dreaming! You better get moving, or believe me, I'll beat you to death."
As soon as she picked up the ruler, it became immobile.
The old woman was dumbfounded. "Hey! What's wrong with this ruler?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Wanwan sat down on the stool.
The old woman snorted coldly and said, "Aren't you going to get up? You're not getting any rest today, not even for an hour."
Zhou Wanwan looked at the old woman and said, "Oh! One hour, right? Okay, arrange it."
Before the old woman could speak, she suddenly felt an external force strike her, and she couldn't move any of her hands or feet.
Then I felt like I couldn't stop, and I just started running non-stop.
She ran lap after lap, so tired she felt like throwing up, but she just couldn't stop.
She always felt like there was a force pushing her forward.
The other nannies weren't much better off. The nanny who had just tried to hit Zhou Wanwan kept swinging the ruler at her own hands.
The old woman who had just wanted to hit Zhou Wanwan's feet kept hitting her own feet.
