However, her friendly face immediately stiffened.

“Ha! Do you have any idea that there are plenty of extremely beautiful women in the palace? Any one of them would be considered a rare beauty in this world. There are even many of them who possess a higher status than you! What are you showing off in front of me? Your status is high but is it higher than that of His Majesty and Her Royal Highness? I’m teaching all of you under the decree of Her Royal Highness, so do not put on airs in front of me. I will not buy it!”

Yu Yingying’s pretty face was frozen. It looked terrifying. There was shame, anger, and hatred on her face. All kinds of emotions got mixed up, causing her to form an unusually weird expression.

Mrs. Tan stood with her hands clasped behind her back and stopped looking at her. “Now that you’ve entered this palace, your statuses outside of the palace are worthless! Here, all of you are only a preparative concubine. Before you become the mistress, I advise that you keep a low profile!”

“You, go and kneel outside the hall. Reflect on your actions for two hours! As for the rest, keep training!”

What?!

Kneel for two hours? Yu Yingying’s beautiful eyes widened. She even thought that she was having an auditory hallucination at that moment. This ugly and stubborn old servant actually told her to kneel down as punishment?!

Being the daughter of the dynasty’s imperial chancellor, she had never received such treatment before. She immediately became furious and said, “How dare you punish me?!”

“I am the etiquette consultant appointed by Her Royal Highness. I have the right to get rid of all your bad habits! Get out,” Mrs. Tan calmly said while she pointed toward the outside of the hall.

“I won’t accept this!” A surge of emotions hit her. ‘Damn it, how dare she?’

“Four hours!”

“You!” Yu Yingying’s eyes were now wide open from rage.

“Six hours.”

Yu Yingying still wanted to say something, but the young lady beside her stopped her. She kept signaling her and whispered, “Yingying, you won’t gain anything by arguing with the etiquette consultant. Do you still want to increase the time?”

Yu Yingying gritted her teeth. “Fine! I’ll go, but I’ll remember you! Just you wait!”

She turned her head and left the hall.

There was already such a disturbance on the first day of training in the palace’s Office of Etiquette. When Lu Yao arrived later, she saw a group of young ladies holding both of their hands up above their heads. They were practicing their gait by holding a porcelain bowl full of water.

Mrs. Tan was standing by and watching. Lu Yao quietly walked toward her and whispered into her ear.

Mrs. Tan’s eyes flickered. She smiled and said, “Is that so? It is such a shame. Help me send my regards to Young Mistress Feng. Tell her to rest and not worry about things over here.”

Lu Yao then gave a curtsy. “Thank you.”

After some small talk, Lu Yao left as quietly as she came. No one noticed her except Feng Qingqing.

Su Kui did not sleep enough in her previous life. Hence, in this life, she felt like sleeping whenever her head touched the pillow.

While she was sleeping soundly, someone opened the door and made a creaking sound. Not long after, the door was closed gently.

At first, Su Kui thought it was Lu Yao, so she ignored it. Unexpectedly, the person did not leave but approached the bed step by step.

Those steady and powerful footsteps were not trying to be stealthy, which was why Su Kui could clearly hear them.

She immediately opened her eyes; they were bright and clear. She turned her head and coldly asked, “Who’s there?”

She then met a pair of eyes that were as tranquil as an old well. The long and narrow as well as profound eyes could suck in a human’s soul.

“Jun Mo?”

He lowered his head and looked at her with the corners of his mouth curled up. He was standing in front of her bed. A four-clawed python robe with embroidered cloud patterns was wrapped around his tall and muscular body. Was this not the prince-regent, whom she met yesterday? The villain boss, whom she was determined to get support from?

She wondered why he was there.
