The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Chapter 153

The day after Ziwei was named a princess, she got up very early.

Caixia, who was on night watch, was a little surprised: "Gege, why are you up so early? Your injury hasn't healed yet. You should rest more and recuperate."

Ziwei coughed lightly and felt the soreness in her body. She also wanted to rest, but she had more important things to do now.

"Help me change into a more formal Manchu dress. I'm going to pay my respects to the old Buddha."

This stumped Caixia. Ziwei had just been conferred the title of princess. Not only did she not look dignified, she didn't even have a single piece of clothing that matched her status.

What she wore in Shufangzhai before were all the clothes that were worn by palace maids, and they were no longer appropriate to wear now.

After a long while, Caixia asked, "Princess, the Imperial Household Department is probably rushing to make your new clothes. The Emperor and Empress Dowager haven't stipulated that you must pay your respects. Why not wait until you recover from your injuries before doing so?"

Before Caixia could finish her words, Ziwei's face had already turned ashen. She had forgotten that she had no good clothes to wear.

Thinking of Xiaoyanzi, she stood up suddenly and said, "Take me to see Xiaoyanzi's clothes."

This was not the first time Ziwei had seen Xiaoyanzi's wardrobe, but this time it was different.

When she saw Xiaoyanzi's room full of beautiful clothes again, she couldn't help but feel jealous again. There were even several new clothes that she hadn't even worn.

Xiaoyanzi occupies her position and enjoys a lot of benefits.

Obviously these should be hers.

Thinking of this, Ziwei picked and chose a jade-colored cheongsam embroidered with hundreds of butterflies.

This dress was made when Xiaoyanzi first entered the palace. However, because she didn't like the plain color, she never wore it and it became the bottom of the closet.

"For now I can only make do with Xiaoyanzi's clothes. Please change into them for me."

Caixia thought of Xiaoyanzi's stature, then looked at Ziwei, who was obviously plump and full, and hesitated for a moment.

Should she directly say that Gege might not be able to wear it and will be punished, or should she wait and let Gege try it on and if she really can't wear it, she will be punished.

Seeing Caixia not moving, Ziwei urged: "Hurry up!"

These palace maids are all Xiaoyanzi's confidants. Could it be that she is not happy about wearing Xiaoyanzi's clothes? Does she know who is the current princess? Who is her master?

Caixia nodded and went forward to help Ziwei change her clothes. As Caixia expected, the last few buttons could not be buttoned.

Caixia hesitated and didn't dare to speak. Ziwei also understood that she was fatter than Xiaoyanzi, so she couldn't wear it!

Ziwei took a deep breath and asked Caixia to help her button it up. However, the clothes were too tight and it cut into her wound, causing her to gasp in pain.

Caixia immediately knelt on the ground and apologized: "Please forgive me, my dear. It's all my fault for not being gentle enough."

Ziwei didn't say anything. She was still struggling with her clothes. Caixia asked cautiously, "Can I help you take them off?"

Ziwei took a deep breath. She still didn't believe it. How could she not be able to put it on? "Put it on for me!"

After trying for a long time, the two finally managed to stuff Ziwei into her clothes.

I wasted a lot of time and it’s a bit late to pay my respects.

When Ziwei arrived at the Cining Palace, it happened that the Empress Dowager had invited the Queen to have breakfast today. Together with Jingyan and Qing'er, the four of them had already started having breakfast.

The old Buddha frowned slightly: "If you don't want to pay your respects, you don't have to come. What's the point of coming now?"

Qing Er helped the old Buddha fill a bowl of porridge and said softly, "Old Buddha, maybe Huan Zhu Gege doesn't know the time to pay respects. If you tell her, she might not come so late next time."

Jingyan felt uncomfortable listening to the name "Princess Huanzhu". She always felt that it was talking about Xiaoyanzi. As expected, she was not used to Ziwei being a princess.

After all, it was Ziwei's first time to pay her respects, and it was very good that she had such a heart. The old Buddha called her in.

Seeing the four of them happily having breakfast together, I thought about how I got up early but spent half a day busy with clothes, and was late in paying my respects. I didn't know if I would leave a bad impression on Karl Lagerfeld.

Ziwei suddenly felt a little aggrieved, her eyes red as she greeted him in a low voice: "Ziwei greets the old Buddha. Ziwei is late, and I hope the old Buddha will forgive me."

It was good enough that she had the heart to pay her respects. The old lady didn't mean to blame her and said softly, "It's good that you have this filial piety. It's just that you didn't know the time to pay your respects the first time. I won't blame you."

Ziwei certainly knew the time to pay respects, after all, she had been in the palace for a long time.

Therefore, the old lady's comfort became a sarcasm in Ziwei's ears. Was the old lady mocking her for deliberately coming late?

But I am also excusable.

Ziwei was thinking randomly, and without saying thank you, she just stood up straight.

Jingyan raised her eyebrows. She, Qing'er and Ziwei were of the same generation. It would be fine if she didn't show any courtesy, but the Empress was sitting there, so it would be too much if she didn't show any courtesy either.

"Princess Huanzhu, you're not very polite. You got up before the Empress Dowager called you? Also, didn't you see the Empress Dowager was here too? Didn't she pay her respects?"

Ziwei came back to her senses after hearing this. She secretly hated herself for being distracted. She knew she had to pay her respects to the Queen, so why did she suddenly stand up?

She secretly hated Jing Yan for being too talkative. If she hadn't been so talkative, her immediate greetings to the Empress as soon as she came to her senses would have been impeccable. It was all Jing Yan's fault for finding fault with her.

Ziwei didn't care about her manners this time and knelt on the ground. "It's Ziwei who doesn't know the rules. I hope the old Buddha and the Queen will forgive me."

The queen looked at Ziwei's complete disregard for rules and etiquette, and her occupational disease made her extremely uncomfortable.

In the past, I only knew that Xiaoyanzi had a terrible manner. Perhaps because of the comparison with Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei seemed more dignified and polite.

Now that Xiaoyanzi is gone, the flaws in Ziwei's rules are clearly revealed.

The old lady naturally discovered this problem and frowned, but Ziwei was different from Xiaoyanzi. Ziwei still had her dignity, so the old lady felt that she could still be saved.

"You learned these rules from the palace maids. Now that you've become a princess, it's time to learn the rules of a princess. Madam Sun, please find a madam for Ziwei and send her to Shufangzhai to teach her the rules."

Ziwei's heart sank. This was how the Queen found excuses to torture Xiaoyanzi. Was it her turn now?

But she should have found a better excuse, as her rules were clearly impeccable.

But Ziwei didn't dare to refute and could only thank him silently.

Seeing that Ziwei was quite well-behaved, the Empress Dowager finally relented and said, "You have just been ordained as a princess and you are not used to it for a while. If you don't understand the rules, I can forgive you. As long as you are willing to learn well, it will be fine."

"Yes, Ziwei will follow the old Buddha's teachings."

Thinking that Ziwei from the clan house was also injured, the old Buddha said a few words of concern.

"I heard you were wronged in the clan house? You can get up and walk today. Are your injuries better?"

Ziwei didn't expect that the old Buddha would still care about her. She lowered her head slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, old Buddha. Ziwei only has some minor injuries. I will be fine after some rest."

Ziwei has been suffering from new injuries and old injuries during this period, which is terrible.

Jingyan thought about it and it seemed that Ziwei had been on the road to injury ever since she blocked the knife during the southern tour, but she hadn't fallen down yet. Her perseverance was really amazing.

There was no need for Ziwei to do anything here anymore, and An had been invited, so the old lady let Ziwei go.
