Chapter 277 Confrontation
After looking at Cui Hengyue who was humbly asking for advice, then looking at Zi Yan who was teaching seriously, Shui Fu felt puzzled again.
She withdrew her gaze, walked to Shui Rong, and asked in a low voice: "What do you think about the crazy girl? I know that the empress dowager was torturing her on purpose, why didn't she resist and obey?
"This is not like her in Yunxuan Temple at all."
Shui Rong's eyes fell on Cui Hengyue and said meaningfully: "She has not changed, she is still the crazy girl who doesn't know what to obey."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Yan's scolding sounded again from the room.
"What's going on? You can't even get a gift for a greeting. Are you a fool? Do it again."
If an ordinary little lady had been so scared to the point of being such a vicious person, she would have been scared by the empress dowager's confidant, but Cui Hengyue did not.
Cui Hengyue said calmly: "I dare to ask Mrs. Zi Yan, where was my fault in the courtesy just now?"
"That's..." Zi Yan suddenly stopped, "It's... where you were wrong just now."
"What was wrong just now? I forgot. I would like to ask Zi Yan's wife to demonstrate."
Forgot?
Zi Yan doesn't believe such nonsense, but since Cui Hengyue said so, she can only reluctantly demonstrate.
So Zi Yan stood up and demonstrated again: "Look at it, you just have your hand movements wrong, you shouldn't do this."
Then, Zi Yan did the correct action: "This is how you do the gift of kindness. Remember it and don't make any mistakes again."
No error?
A trace of mockery flashed across Cui Hengyue's mouth. She couldn't tell the slightest mistake in her etiquette. It was Zi Yan who insisted that she made the mistake.
"Do it again and show me."
After Zi Yan demonstrated, she sat back on the chair and said to Cui Hengyue in an orderly tone.
Cui Hengyue didn't care about her tone and did it again obediently.
"Wrong..."
Zi Yan continued to pick on her face without blushing and her heart was not beating.
Cui Hengyue said what she said just now without anger without any slight expression.
Zi Yan was speechless and had to go and demonstrate again.
The two of them fought back and forth for half an hour, and finally ended with Zi Yan exploding and falling to the ground.
After Zi Yan was carried out, Shui Fu rushed in and praised Cui Hengyue with a smile: "Yuanniang, you are so awesome."
Shui Rong also smiled: "Although that girl Zi Yan has a bit of three-legged kung fu, it is far behind Yuan Niang who has been practicing martial arts since she was a child."
"That's right, it's too far." Shui Fu agreed, and suddenly said "ah": "Zi Yan becomes like this, the empress dowager will definitely be angry, and then she wants a more powerful trick to torture Yuanniang."
Shui Rong thought for a while: "Maybe... the Queen Mother will send other people to Jiao Yuanniang."
Shuifu's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief: "What do you mean...will the Queen Mother ask the people in the palace to teach Yuanniang one by one?"
"Very likely."
"If this is the case, wouldn't Yuan Niang be exhausted?"
Cui Hengyue's hand served tea.
As Shuirong guessed, the Empress Dowager sent other palace maids to teach Cui Hengyue's etiquette.
"Cui Yuanniang, I will teach you the court etiquette from now on the order of the Queen Mother."
When Cui Hengyue saw that she was a second-class palace maid, her face turned blue in an instant.
"Bang--"
She placed the teacup heavily on the table and scolded with a stern face: "I am the eldest daughter of Cui, the first aristocratic family. My grandfather was the niece of the Duke of Jingguo in the current dynasty, the queen mother's relative, and the cousin of His Majesty.
"You are just a second-class palace maid, and you can't even compare to Zi Yan.
"Zi Yan can't teach me, why do you think you can teach me etiquette?"
The second-class palace maid's face turned pale.
Cui Hengyue said again: "If you want to teach me etiquette, find someone who is more qualified than Zi Yan, otherwise you won't step into Hongqiongyuan."
“…”
The second-class palace maid left Hongqiongyuan in shame and went back to report the matter to the Empress Dowager.
"Ba"
The Empress Dowager picked up the glass cup on the table and threw it out: "It's outrageous. How dare a wild girl be so presumptuous? I must peel her skin and suck her tendons..."
Everyone in the hall knelt on the ground, not daring to show their anger.
Until the Queen Mother's insulting voice stopped, Madam You stood up and said, "Mrs. Queen Mother, let me go."
Those who are more qualified to teach Cui Hengyue's etiquette than Zi Yan, there is nothing else in the Wanshou Palace except Madam You and Madam Gui.
"No, you are injured and can't go."
The Empress Dowager refused and glanced at everyone in the hall.
Seeing the queen mother's eyes, Madam You walked up to her and lowered her voice and advised: "Mrs. Queen Mother, the identity of Cui's eldest daughter is extraordinary, and her etiquette is indeed not something that anyone can teach.
"Otherwise, if it spreads out, Cui will be ridiculed."
The Empress Dowager's face darkened: "I see who dares to spread it out."
Upon hearing this, everyone expressed their opinions: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, we will never reveal a word."
The Queen Mother smiled, and her eyebrows were full of pride.
Madam You felt helpless, but she had to wake up the empress dowager: "Of course, people from Wanshou Palace will not disclose it, but people from Hongqiongyuan may not be sure.
"Cui Hengyue cannot be killed. The two maids around her are from the King of Chu, so they cannot be killed.
"As long as they don't die, this matter will spread."
The smile on the queen mother's face suddenly stiffened and she said angrily: "... Then I will leave them in the palace forever."
well--
Madam You sighed in her heart, and the people in the hall knelt on the ground, not daring to show their anger.
