CHAPTER 62: CHAPTER 60: FOUR BEAUTIES

[This haunting guy! Is there nowhere he isn’t?]

Under the warm sun, that person sat leisurely and calmly, with a smile on his face, looking indescribably comfortable.

The more comfortable he was, the more depressed Yun Ran felt.

"I’m going to hit my head against the wall, you coming?"

"Already dim-witted enough, if you hit again, you might turn completely dumb."

"..."

Looking at his infuriatingly smug face, Yun Ran wanted to just ram her head and die on him.

However, although Nangong Mo had ’forcibly packed her up and taken her’ to his courtyard, he also promised her that one person would sleep on the soft couch and the other on the bed.

Yun Ran, although not trusting him much, didn’t refuse either.

Yet, near dusk, a royal decree arrived from the palace.

The gist was that Princess Qin was not gentle or virtuous enough and needed to learn the palace rules and etiquette thoroughly.

Along with the decree came an elderly teaching lady official, and four stunningly beautiful maidens.

They were supposedly responsible for teaching Yun Ran various etiquettes and feminine manners, virtues, skills, and such courses.

The one who delivered the decree was the head eunuch, Eunuch Gao, clearly indicating that these few people had to remain no matter what.

"Your Highness, the emperor is also in a difficult position. Ding’an Marquis has gone to the imperial presence to cry and complain several times, and that Princely Heir is still the only heir of Ding’an Marquis Mansion."

"Now it’s just a mild admonition to Princess Qin, which is already a lenient act beyond the law, hoping Your Highness can understand the emperor’s kind intentions."

Eunuch Gao, who had watched Nangong Mo grow up, felt somewhat differently towards him and spoke with sincerity and concern.

Nangong Mo also respected him greatly, received the decree, and even offered tea.

As soon as Eunuch Gao left, the elderly female official walked in front of Yun Ran, gave a formal greeting with an expressionless face:

"Many blessings to the Princess! I am a lady official of the third rank from Shangyi Palace, appointed by His Majesty and the Queen to teach you palace rules, etiquette, feminine virtues, and needlework. You may address me as Lady Wan."

"Tomorrow at three quarters past the hour of the Dragon, please attend the class on time, Princess."

Yun Ran expressed being very ’surprised’!

Never thought that one day she would be dragged off to class for not being ’gentle enough’?!

At the same time, she was a bit suspicious; this female official indeed seemed like she was here to teach her, but those four beautiful maidens...

She had noticed clearly that the gaze of those maidens kept drifting towards Nangong Mo...

And Nangong Mo, with his body slightly turned, one arm resting on the armrest, supporting his chin with his hand, eyes lightly closed pretending to nap.

Such a casual, simple posture, yet when done by him, it was unbelievably lazy and seductive.

[Hmph! That look seems like he’s deliberately trying to entice the maidens!]

The four maidens noticed Yun Ran’s icy glance sweeping over them and stepped forward simultaneously, greeting sweetly, "Many blessings to the Princess."

Lady Wan timely explained: "There is much for the Princess to learn, and these four are all outstanding in their areas, assisting me in teaching."

Yun Ran: "..."

Those four maidens looked as delicate as though a gust of wind could blow them over, were they supposed to teach her how to sway with the wind?

One of the maidens, with a charming appearance and plump body, suddenly walked towards Nangong Mo with a graceful, swaying gait.

"Hong Luan greets Prince Qin, rest assured, we’ll do our best to teach the Princess well."

A fragrance wafted past with the maiden’s approach.

Yun Ran inadvertently sneezed.

Then she heard the maiden softly exclaim, "Princess, as a lady, you shouldn’t behave so frivolously. Well, it’s understandable since the Princess hasn’t had lessons yet..."

Immediately, she smiled gently, her breath fragrant like orchids, "Rest assured, Hong Luan, along with Nanny Wan and our sisters, will earnestly transform the Princess into a well-mannered lady."
