Since Nangong Waner was going to Prince Zhan's Mansion to learn from him tomorrow, Lord Assistant Minister called for someone to ask Nangong Waner to eat together with him in the morning. He also had some things he wanted to tell her, but she seemed to be talking to herself, so Nangong Waner did not respond at all.
When you see the Elder Xiu, you must emphasize respect and respect for your teacher. The Elder Xiu is a literary power of the current dynasty, and is highly respected in the Tian Sheng. The only people he can teach in the Tian Sheng are His Majesty and the Prince Zhan. Lord Assistant Minister was very worried as he told Nangong Waner.
Nangong Waner vigorously nodded his head. Seeing that Nangong Waner did not say anything, the Lord Assistant Minister continued to explain with satisfaction, "The etiquette and homework that Elder Xiu has taught you, you must listen carefully. All these years, your mother and I have not been able to take care of your lessons.
Madam Yang immediately changed his words when he heard Lord Assistant Minister nagging at him about something. He speechlessly rolled his eyes and tugged at Lord Assistant Minister's clothes, causing her to come back to her senses, and quickly changed her words, "We should be extremely thankful for introducing you to the Prince Zhan's Mansion, so we should also understand the rules here in Prince Zhan's Mansion, don't give people any more trouble."
Nangong Waner vigorously nodded his head. Lord Assistant Minister was a little displeased with Nangong Waner's reaction, but he couldn't find any major problems.
Nangong Waner had not been able to sleep well ever since she returned to Assistant Minister’s Residence, and being called out early today, she was basically in a semi-conscious state. Thus, when Lord Assistant Minister told her this, she did not hear clearly at all. Instinctively, she would nod, as if admitting it.
The Lord Assistant Minister finally spoke for an hour, and when he had received enough instructions, he passed over a bag of money and a box to Nangong Waner, saying, "This money is for the food that you will need to learn in Prince Zhan's Mansion, as well as the food that you will need to give to the Elder Xiu, take action when the time comes. Take a look, this box is for the Prince Zhan, it is considered a form of etiquette to stay at the Wang Mansion for a long time."
Although Nangong Waner was confused, but when he suddenly heard money, he immediately became spirited. He smiled widely as he received the money and the gift box, and firmly expressed, "I will definitely perform well, study well, and try my best to add to Assistant Minister’s Residence's glory!"
Lord Assistant Minister was too lazy to bother with her and left after eating. On the other hand, Madam Yang pulled Nangong Waner and and chatted for a while more. Not long later, someone came to the manor and Madam Yang also left, leaving Nangong Waner and Nangong Ruyu alone.
Nangong Ruyu had not seen her for a few days and became more obedient. He had nothing to say to Nangong Waner and got up to leave. Nangong Waner called out to her, and took out some silver from his money pouch and placed it in Nangong Ruyu's hands, "I didn't do my job as a big sister, go buy some things you like."
With that, Nangong Waner looked at Nangong Ruyu and smiled.
When Nangong Waner had just regained his consciousness, he was indeed a little disgusted with her, thinking that she had stolen the love of his parents. But gradually, Nangong Waner and her didn't have any interactions, the conflict between them couldn't even be described. Furthermore, in these few days, the Lord Assistant Minister couple had placed their focus on Nangong Ruyu. As Nangong Waner was basically not staying in the Assistant Minister’s Residence, everyone felt that it was strange, but they could not quite put his finger on it.
When Nangong Ruyu saw Nangong Waner take out the money for her, he suddenly felt embarrassed and refused to accept it.
Seeing Nangong Ruyu being bashful, Nangong Waner thought to himself, "He really is a child", threw down the money and ran.
In reality, it was not only Nangong Ruyu. One day, Lord Assistant Minister and Madam Yang also mentioned that they felt that their daughter was getting further and further away from them. After recovering their consciousness, they thought that they were about to lose their daughter.
Madam Yang even teased the Lord Assistant Minister, "You are already old, and you actually became more sentimental."
Early in the morning on the second day, Nangong Waner had still unwittingly boarded the Duke Palace's carriage. After learning the lesson from last time, Nangong Waner knew that Zi Ye would definitely drive a carriage early to pick up the carriage, and Nangong Waner had been worried that she had slept a little too deeply, so she had not slept soundly the previous night. Although he wanted to wake up early the next day and go to bed early, after lying down, he was wide awake again. He couldn't sleep, and had been tossing and turning the entire first half of the night.
Not long after dawn, Lord Assistant Minister came to the courtyard to call for people.
This time, Nangong Waner quickly got up, and only watched as he woke up. In fact, his brain was still in a daze, and had just gotten into the carriage, when he felt a big hand in his arms. Nangong Waner tried his best to open his eyes, perhaps because he was too tired, and did not notice that Prince Zhan was already sitting in the carriage.
"Why are you here?" Nangong Waner closed his eyes and asked, as if he did not feel anything amiss while being embraced by the Prince Zhan.
"I'll go to the imperial court in the morning. Sleep, I'll wake you up when the palace arrives." Prince Zhan's gentle voice entered Nangong Waner's ears, and he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up, Nangong Waner was once again lying on the bed that she was familiar with. This bed was even wider than the one she had in Assistant Minister’s Residence, and Nangong Waner was very happy both physically and mentally. He couldn't control himself from rolling around on the bed for a while, so he woke up and called Ju Xiang in to help him wash up.
Liu Hong pushed the door and entered. Seeing that it was Liu Hong who thought of the fact that he could not bring a servant girl into the Duke Palace to study, Nangong Waner did not hesitate at all and used Liu Hong to teach her.
"What time is it?" Nangong Waner asked Liu Hong after washing up. He felt a little hungry.
"Miss, it's already time for lunch," Liu Hong quietly replied.
Nangong Waner raised his head and looked out the window. Indeed, the big sun was hanging in the middle of the sky, and he looked a little awkward.
"Miss, do you want some food? When the prince left, he specifically told the kitchen to prepare breakfast and lunch. He said that since the young miss got up early, she would eat breakfast, and when she got up at noon, she would eat lunch. "
Hearing that, Nangong Waner became even more embarrassed, but after a moment he calmed down, "Then why don't we prepare dinner together?"
"The prince will return early in the afternoon and have dinner with you."
After hearing Liu Hong's reply, Nangong Waner felt a little embarrassed again, "Oh, let's eat lunch then." Nangong Waner muttered.
After Liu Hong heard this, he left the room and called for people to come in, and set up a table for the guests in the courtyard.
