20 -20: The Protective Great-Grandmother Empress Arrives
“Princess Consort, it’s time for you to go learn etiquette.”
Two nannies blocked Chu Baihan’s path with an unfriendly tone.
“Nanny Wang, Nanny Qin, my sister stayed in the Prince’s room last night.
I fear she is exhausted, so she hasn’t come to study etiquette until now.”
Suddenly, a frail voice came.
Chu Baihan turned around and saw Wan Yiyu coming over with a group of women; she could see the jealousy that they failed to hide on their faces.
Were they jealous that she had slept in a certain Prince’s room last night?
“Yiyu pays her respects to Princess Consort sister.” Wan Yiyu led the greeting, and the others mimicked her actions.
Clearly, Wan Yiyu had these women under her thumb.
Raising an eyebrow, Chu Baihan coldly said, “If the Princess Consort is not mistaken, the Prince only asked you to stay but didn’t give you any status.
Isn’t this ‘sister’ title inappropriate?”
As the words of Chu Baihan fell, the faces of Wan Yiyu and the others immediately became somewhat awkward.
“Princess Consort, since the Prince has already allowed a few madams to stay, that is a recognition of their status.
The specific titles can be given later; it’s not that important.” At this point, Nanny Qin spoke up.
Clearly, she was favoring Wan Yiyu.
Chu Baihan was not flustered; she covered her mouth with a light laugh, lifted her eyes to gaze at Nanny Qin, and the cold light subtly flashed in her shimmering eyes: “According to Nanny’s logic, does that mean if His Majesty happens to look at a few women a couple of times more, these nameless, status-less women can also start calling the Empress ‘sister’?”
“Princess Consort, you are twisting words and forcing logic!” Nanny Qin exclaimed angrily.
“Enough, let’s not talk about that anymore.
Princess Consort should go learn etiquette now.” Nanny Wang coldly interrupted at this moment.
“Princess Consort.” Ruolan called out to Chu Baihan worriedly.
Chu Baihan then patted the back of her hand, reassuring her.
A group of people walked into the house together.
“Princess Consort, as a daughter-in-law of the Imperial Family, posture while walking is extremely important.
Shoulders must not shake, head must not sway, only then can the nobility of the Imperial Family be displayed,” Nanny Qin bluntly began.
“Indeed,” Nanny Wang agreed, continuing, “Madam, you have been in the country estate for so many years with no one to instruct you, so you need to work even harder.”
Hearing them sing in unison, Chu Baihan kept silent, letting them continue.
“Madam Wan, come over and demonstrate for the Princess Consort,” Nanny Qin waved at Wan Yiyu.
“Princess Consort, they are going too far.” Ruolan was almost in tears.
How could a woman with no name and no status be qualified to demonstrate for the Princess Consort?
Was this not an insult?
The nannies, bred in the depths of the palace, must know this knowledge that even a servant girl would understand, yet they still did so, indicating they wished to humiliate the Princess Consort.
“Princess Consort, if I do not demonstrate well later, please do not be angry,” Wang Yiyu said, feigning difficulty.
Soon, she picked up an apple, placed it on her head, and then slowly walked from one side to the doorway.
The apple merely swayed slightly on top of her head but did not fall off.
“Indeed, as someone from an Aristocratic Family, Madam Wan’s demeanor is impeccable,” Nanny Qin clapped, her eyes provocatively glancing at Chu Baihan as she spoke.
Chu Baihan had already found a seat nearby and sat down, her single hand propping up her cheek, her posture extremely casual.
“Wan Yiyu, there was one sentence you just said that I think was quite correct,” Chu Baihan lifted her eyes, smiling as she spoke to Wan Yiyu.
Wan Yiyu was stunned, “Wha, what sentence?”
“Your demonstration was indeed very poor,” Chu Baihan said slowly.
“Princess Consort, what do you mean by this?” Anger was nearly bursting from Wan Yiyu’s face.
A village girl without manners from Jiangnan who dared to criticize her demeanor?
“Princess Consort, could it be that you walk better than Madam Wang?” the nanny stared at Chu Baihan with a hostile look.
“I remember that shortly after the Empress married the Grand Ancestor, she was made the Empress.
During her coronation in the grand hall, she carried herself with poise, holding a cup full of wine, and walked up a total of ninety-nine steps without spilling a single drop.
From then on, the Empress’s appearance and demeanor were models for all women in Yan Country.
Yet even so, the Empress remained humble.
Just now, when the concubine daughter of the Wan Family walked, she nearly dropped the apple.
Does she even qualify to give a demonstration?” Chu Baihan said with a cold laugh.
“The words of the Princess Consort are really quite sharp.
Do you think you can fool us by bringing up the Empress Dowager?
The Empress Dowager is a celestial being; how can ordinary people compare?
Miss Wan did well enough already,”
Nanny Qin began to scold Chu Baihan.
“This is good enough?
I’m afraid you could find a random woman in a brothel who walks better than her.
Miss Wan, don’t you agree?” Chu Baihan raised an eyebrow and looked mockingly at Wan Yiyu.
“Princess Consort, if you’re not satisfied with the Prince letting us through the door, just say it directly.
Why do you need to use such language to humiliate me?
I am, after all, the daughter of a Minister, how can you compare me to a woman from a brothel?”
Wan Yiyu was so angry her face turned red.
This time, she didn’t wait for the two nannies to speak; she questioned Chu Baihan herself.
Upon hearing this, Chu Baihan laughed, her smile unreserved and her slender eyes shimmering.
“So, Miss Wan still realizes she’s not a brothel woman.
Just now, in front of everyone, you tried so hard to show yourself off.
I thought you were just like a brothel woman…”
“No, no, no, there’s a difference.
You are a bit worse than the girls from the brothel.”
Chu Baihan kept answering her own questions, which quite infuriated Wan Yiyu and the two nannies.

“The mouth of the Princess Consort is something I cannot match.
You might as well get up and show us what good demeanor really is!”
Nanny Wang approached Chu Baihan with big steps, holding an apple.
Chu Baihan remained calm; she actually reached out and took the apple.
Wan Yiyu and the others watched from the side, barely holding back their snickers.
They thought she, Chu Baihan, had a lot of backbone.
Just now, her words were so fierce, but now wasn’t she obediently taking the apple to learn how to walk?
These two nannies were called by Princess Jiang.
No matter how defiant she was, she couldn’t stir up any trouble.
But just when they were feeling triumphant, Chu Baihan wiped the apple with a handkerchief and then “crunch,” she took a bite out of it.
“Hmm, quite sweet.
Ruolan, do you want one?” She even turned her head, seriously asking Ruolan.
The Princess Consort was indeed very special.
Ruolan bit her lower lip, barely keeping herself from laughing out loud, but her shaking shoulders still gave her away.
“Princess Consort, if you continue like this, don’t blame the servants for being rude!” Nanny Qin warned loudly.
“Is that so?
I would like to see who dares to be rude to my granddaughter-in-law!”
