Chapter 353 (1/2)
Mother Wang is a person that Princess Anhe is afraid of. Zhu GuanLiang asked mother Wang to teach Zhou Leping the rules. After two or three days of learning, Zhou Leping made great progress instead of retreating. This result was far beyond the expectation of Mrs. Yu.
Mrs. Yu is very satisfied with Zhou Leping's performance, thinking that she will be young soon. Before that, she called Zhou Leping into the palace to have an examination.
Zhou Leping and Mrs. Yu had friction before, and the conflict was even so big that they had to fight. But that was before. Now Mrs. Yu is her mother-in-law. No matter how old she is, she has to keep her temper.
Before entering the palace, Mammy Wang specially told her what to pay attention to and what to avoid. Zhou Leping also wrote down one by one, and inquired about Mrs. Yu's preferences. After going out, she bought cakes and brought them into the palace. When she saw Mrs. Yu, she happily offered them, ”this is what I bought for you.”
The maid next to Mrs. Yu took the cake and didn't rush to bring it up. First, she tried the poison with a silver needle, and then tasted it after the maid tried the silver needle. After confirming that there was no problem, she brought it up for Mrs. Yu to taste.
Yu Fu said, ”this is the rule of the palace. You don't mind.”
Anyway, she used to walk in the palace before. Knowing this rule, she didn't care. She shook her head and said, ”don't mind, don't mind. What's the matter? Do you like it?”
Lady Yu took a bite and frowned, ”is this Tang Xinzhai's cake?”
”Yes, I wish... The official said that you like Tang Xinzhai's cakes, so I bought some on the way to the palace.”
Official these two words from her mouth appear awkward, Yu lady impatient wave a hand, ”don't deliberately in front of me so call, you usually how to call him so come on, son big not from Niang, he likes you, I this do not have to accommodate him.”
Zhou Leping couldn't take the words and giggled.
Mrs. Yu looked silly and stunned at her appearance. Although she looked much better than when she saw her several times before, it was obvious that she was so uncomfortable because she was bound by the rules and couldn't let go of it, and she was always tense.
She was so uncomfortable that Mrs. Yu frowned and asked the maids to step down. ”Don't pretend to be in front of me. I've seen your virtue before. It's not like that. I have a headache.”
As expected, Zhou Leping breathed a long breath, and his whole body relaxed, thumped his back, and immediately became comfortable.
Lady Yu rolled her eyes. ”I know you can't be expected to learn well. How long have you been pretending that you can't? In the future, my son will succeed to the throne. If you are in charge of the palace, you have to meet your wife and be in charge of the draft. That's a long time. Even if you pretend, it's your ability to deal with these occasions. ”
Zhou Leping lowered his head and said, ”anyway, he will marry another woman in the future, seventy-two concubines from three palaces and six courtyards. I know what kind of person I am. I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be in charge of the east palace.”
Mrs. Yu rarely looked at her with new eyes. ”It's surprising that you think so. But people are ambitious. Don't you want to be a queen?”
”Isn't Madame a queen?”
