Chapter 33: An Insolent Old Servan (2/2)
Talk of the devil and she comes.
However, Princess Anyang didn't even care a bit. Slightly raising her eyebrows, she said, “Nanny Wang, isn’t that you always talking about etiquettes are the fundamentals? There won’t be many guests coming to Changchun Garden. Of course, I have to welcome them in person to show my etiquettes. Nanny Wang, isn’t that what you taught me? But I still wonder that within your knowledge, is it appropriate to instigate a servant to kick off guests?”
Previously at the gate, she heard Luoxia accusing Nanny Wang. She was holding back her resentment at that time. Saying it out, she felt much more relieved now.
At a distance, Nanny Liu paid a respect with head up as if she was the master.
She didn't reply to Princess Anyang’s words. Instead, she said seriously, “Your Grace, I only know that Princess Mingxi was beloved by the emperor. If you really behave according to etiquettes, you should have given in. Holding the banquet is already inappropriate.” Looking up, she added, “Your Grace, do not make more mistakes.” From her murky eyes there could be seen some harshness.
They had just talked about the Flower Tower banquet. But now Nanny Wang knew this. Thinking so, An Rushuang couldn't help frowning. It seemed that Princess Anyang didn't have an easy life; she was inspected as such…
Princess Anyang couldn't help sneering, “What do you mean by making mistakes? So you want to convict me?”
Nanny Wang lowered her head and replied, “Of course not. How dare I? But Your Grace, you are always gentle and obedient; it is also Lady Rong’s intention…”
“Then go away and tell her! I really want to see who’s going to stop me today.” said Anyang coldly.
Hearing this, Nanny Wang also turned furious. She thought she had showed enough respect to Princess Anyang, but she was still making trouble. “If you insist on doing so, then I won’t care your feelings!”
Saying so, Nanny Wang turned back and left Changchun Garden. She must have gone for Lady Rong.
Qing Lu sneered and said, with her pretty little face full of anger, “When did the insolent old servant care others’ feelings? Now she pretends to be emotional!”
“Your Grace, never mind about her words. Take care of yourself. But I suppose even his lordship won't agree on this,” said Qing Lu, trying to comfort Princess Anyang.
Qing Lu thought Princess Anyang could no longer depend on Lady Rong. She could only rely on Lord Rong. If she disobeys his lordship, she wouldn't be able to compare with the second daughter who is thought highly of in the family though without the title of “Princess”.
Princess Anyang smiled, “So what? Even if he disagrees, I am already at the Flower Tower when they try to find me. There would be a lot of people. Even if I do not care about my reputation, dad would consider Rong Manor’s reputation. Would they force me to come back?”
Saying so, Princess Anyang said to Qing Lu, “Ask the servants in the yard here to help carry the flowers. And send the biggest coach to the back gate. Remind them to take care of the flowers.”
Hearing this, Qing Lu knew that she could by no means stop Princess Anyang. So she nodded and said, “Yes, I’ll do it right now.”
