Chapter 59: Apology with Tea

Fearing that she would be too slow, Yunzhi had the maids by her side teach the other girls.

Yunzhu was among them, originally intending to laugh at Yunzhi and watch her make a fool of herself. However, Yunzhi’s words made them the ones who looked foolish instead.

Seeing everyone reluctantly, yet forced to bow, Yunzhi couldn’t help but smile. She enjoyed seeing them in this state, unwilling to bow but having to do so anyway.

“Now that’s more like it,” Yunzhi said, her gaze falling on the Princess Langhua, she asked with a smile, “Princess Langhua, I don’t think the Princess’s Mansion is poor, so why are there no chairs? If that’s the case, then this flower gathering might as well not be held.”

“Rumei, Rulan, let’s go home,” Yunzhi said, turning and walking outside. This immediately panicked the group of girls, their main event hadn’t even begun yet, how could they let Yunzhi leave?

Princess Langhua immediately chased after Yunzhi, calling out, “Lady Yun, please stay!”

“Lady Yun?” Yunzhi turned to look at Langhua, smiling, “It seems your etiquette tutor isn’t very competent.”

“What do you mean by that?” Princess Langhua was unhappy, she felt that she had already given enough face by taking the initiative to keep Yunzhi.

But Yunzhi dared to criticize her etiquette tutor. After all, that tutor was from the palace, someone who understood etiquette and propriety best.

“It seems you not only lack good manners, but you also don’t read well, you can’t even understand such simple words.”

“You?” Princess Langhua was furious, her face turned red with anger.

The other girls, seeing that Yunzhi dared to mock even Princess Langhua, felt both excitement and worry.

The excitement came from the fact that Yunzhi’s actions were undoubtedly embarrassing the Princess. The worry was that if the Princess got angry, they might be implicated.

Yunzhi naturally saw what they were thinking, but was she afraid?

She was not afraid at all.

Therefore, seeing Langhua’s flushed face, she added another sentence, “Isn’t that right?”

Before the other party could answer, Yunzhi continued, “The Regent is your elder, and I am about to be his wife, do you think ‘Lady Yun’ is an appropriate address?”

Upon hearing this, Princess Langhua’s face went from red to white, then white to red, finally squeezing out a few words through gritted teeth, “Regent’s Princess.”

Yunzhi was satisfied now, she looked at the other party calmly and said, “Now, what is it? If there’s nothing else, I’m going home.”

“Regent’s Princess, please forgive me. I will have someone bring you a chair right away. It was my negligence earlier, I hope the Princess won’t be angry.”

“It’s good to know your mistakes and correct them. Besides, I’m your elder, so naturally I won’t hold it against you.” Yunzhi put on an air of being generous and forgiving, making Princess Langhua change her expression again, but she had no way to deal with Yunzhi.

Soon, someone brought a chair over, and Princess Langhua personally poured Yunzhi a cup of tea as an apology.

Of course, this was just a façade, the real reason was that they had added something to the tea, and they thought that Yunzhi would definitely drink it since she was personally served the apology tea.

Yunzhi’s gaze flickered slightly when she saw the tea, and under Princess Langhua’s nervous gaze, she drank the tea as they wished.

Seeing Yunzhi drink the tea, Princess Langhua and the other girls finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Princess Langhua led everyone towards the Peony Garden to admire the flowers.

Just then, the invited unmarried gentlemen also arrived from another direction, heading towards the Peony Garden.
