The two nannies sent from the palace moved into the Duke's Mansion, and Yan Xuehuai's longing for life ended.

She had to live in the Duke's Mansion and learn etiquette and rules with the two nannies.

On the first day, Yan Xuehuai was worse than death;

The next day, Yan Xuehuai decided to face life;

On the third day, Yan Xuehuai found out the preferences of the two nannies;

On the fourth day, Yan Xuehuai and the two nannies were as close as relatives who had met again after a long separation;

Starting from the fifth day, full-time teaching has been changed to half-time. I studied in the morning, had lunch, and the nannies had lunch breaks. Yan Xuehuai went out and came back before dark.

Ten days later, the queen found an excuse to let Madam Zhuo enter the palace and asked about Yan Xuehuai's situation. Madam Zhuo couldn't stop smiling: "Miss Yan is gentle and intelligent. I have seen so many famous ladies. Among the younger generation, when it comes to these etiquette rules, except for the princess and the crown princess, Miss Yan learns the fastest and best."

Madam Zhuo only talked about the princess and the princess. In fact, she taught the etiquette and rules of Princess Duan, but Princess Duan not only did not learn well, but also almost regretted the marriage during her studies because she was tired of studying!

At that time, Prince Duan was not a prince, he was just a third-ranked young man in Prince Yu's mansion. Moreover, he snatched this marriage, so it was not very decent. If Prince Duan wanted to withdraw from the marriage, with the low-key nature of Prince Yu's mansion at that time, most of them would have to agree.

The marriage that King Duan finally asked for was not enough to retreat like this. King Duan naturally wanted to stand on Princess Duan's side, but in the end the queen gave in and called back the two nannies sent there, and the matter ended in a hurry.

After Madam Zhuo and Madam Lan returned, they knelt in front of the queen and admitted their mistakes. They could not say that Princess Duan was not bad. They could only blame themselves for their poor teaching, which made Princess Duan unhappy.

With Princess Duan as a reference, Yan Xuehuai jumped from the middle class and became the best among the top class. He could jump directly and be admitted to the palace.

The same is true for the queen. She also has the lessons of Princess Duan. The queen dare not do too much, so as not to avoid Yan Xuehuai, and no, not to avoid Xiaoqi getting upset. It would be too unlucky to make some troublesome things happen to Tathagata.

Therefore, ten days later, Madam Zhuo and Madam Lan returned to the palace with the generous gifts prepared by Li Qiniang and Yan Xuehuai's sweet words. Just as they were about to meet the queen, they met the seventh prince Chai Yan on the way. Usually, the seventh prince was too lazy to even give them a corner of his eyes. Unexpectedly, this time, the seventh prince's eyebrows stretched out and gave each of them a Feng Hong. The two madams secretly opened it and saw that there were 100 taels of silver bills each.

When Li Qiniang entered the palace before, she praised the two nannies to the Empress. Therefore, when the two nannies returned to the palace, the Empress also gave her a reward.

Madam Lan and Madam Zhuo returned to their residence, and they couldn't stop smiling.

Yan Xuehuai sent away the two nannies from the palace and moved back to Qingping Lane without leaving a day.

Before Li Qiniang got married, Yan Xuehuai told her that she would continue to live in Qingping Lane instead of following her to the Duke's Mansion.

Therefore, although Li Qiniang was extremely reluctant to leave, she didn't say anything.

On the third day after Yan Xuehuai moved out, Zhou Dajia and Zhou Hong returned to the capital.

Madam Ruan has come to the capital.

Li Qiniang wanted to meet Miss Ruan immediately. She changed her clothes and was about to go out, but Zhou Dada’s house came to the door.

"Aqi, don't go over now, let's sit down and discuss it carefully." said Zhou Dadajia.

Li Qiniang was stunned. Seeing that Zhou Dacheng looked solemn, she had a bad premonition in her heart. She asked, "Sister, what's going on? Could it be that you didn't go well in Xu Yang?"

Zhou Dadajia said, "It's very smooth to say that. The elder brother and I went to the Baicai Hutong together. Although the elder brother said he would persuade his sister-in-law, I still asked the dust sweeping and descaling to follow quietly. They had very good martial arts skills and the elder brother didn't notice it.

When they arrived at Baicai Hutong, Mrs. Ji and the maid named Lumei became suspicious when they saw the eldest brother bringing strangers. They thought I couldn't see it, but their vigilance betrayed them. At that time, the eldest brother was walking in front. I deliberately lagged a few steps behind, and Lumei was also lagging a few steps behind, pretending to be with me, but I could see that she was ready to attack me at any time.

I pretended to touch my hair bun with my hands, and touched the beads on my head. The beads fell to the ground. When I bent down to pick up the beads, the wintersweet took action, covering my mouth with one hand and pressing the other hand tightly on my shoulder, wanting me to move. If it were a woman without martial arts, she would be restrained.

Although Winter Plum is good at martial arts, she is too young and has not enough strength. She cannot control me, but is held by me instead. The Ji Ma Zi in front of me found out the movement and rushed over to help. I knew that this matter would not be good today, so I had to whistle, sweep the dust and remove the stains, and rush in, and tied up the Ji Ma Zi and Winter Plum.

Fortunately, my elder brother was not confused. He knew that it was Hanmei and Mrs. Ji who started the fight first, so he didn't say anything. However, my elder sister-in-law had already heard the sound outside. She came out and saw that Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji were tied up, so she turned around and entered the house. My elder brother was about to chase me, but my elder sister-in-law came out with a long sword and chopped towards me."

Li Qiniang was shocked. She knew that Zhou Dazhuo was sitting in front of her and looked very good, not as if she had been injured, but she was still sweating all over her clothes. She asked, "What happened later?"

Zhou Dadajia smiled bitterly, sighed, and said, "Brother took off the long sword in her hand. When fighting, the big brother was scratched by the sword on his arm. Fortunately, the big sister-in-law was just brute force and had no rules. The big brother just scratched the skin, which was fine."

Li Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Da was an expert. Since she said that Zhou Hong's injury was not serious, she thought it was indeed a minor injury, but Li Qiniang still wanted to take some gold-chuang medicine to take a look.

"Brother didn't expect things to develop like this. My sister-in-law was like crazy. My brother hugged her and kicked her again and again. Seeing that this was not possible, I became a bad guy. Despite my brother's objection, I tied my sister-in-law and took her back to the boat. We didn't stay in Xuyang for too long and returned the next day.

When I passed by Baicun Wharf, I remembered that I had heard from my brothers in the gang that there was an old doctor who was more than 100 miles away from Baicun. I was the one who was best at treating madness. I asked him to invite him. It happened that his family was marrying a grandson-in-law. I didn't want to stay, so I let Feiqi and the two brothers in the gang stay. When the old doctor's family was finished, I would invite him to the capital."

When Li Qiniang heard that she had found the doctor, she was very happy and asked, "Is it okay for my sister-in-law to go along the way?"

Zhou Dada family shook his head: "No, not at all, she didn't even want to see her elder brother. Fortunately, when Mrs. Ji saw that the situation was hopeless, she heard that I was my elder brother's sister, so she cooperated. Along the way, she and Hanmei were with her sister-in-law. I didn't know before that, the elder brother could still be a low-key person to coax people. At first, the elder sister ignored him, so he would coax him every day. The elder sister beat him and bit him, and he also suffered with a smile. The elder sister-in-law made a fuss for a few days, but later she stopped making trouble. Even except for the elder brother and Mrs. Ji, she ignored others and did not allow others to enter the cabin where she lived.

We were so careful along the way, but fortunately we didn’t make any mistakes again, and we had to go back to the capital."

Therefore, Zhou Dada’s head of the country did not let Li Qiniang go to see Miss Ruan rashly. As soon as Miss Ruan came, Miss Ruan refused to see outsiders. If she appeared in front of Miss Ruan like this, Miss Ruan might be sick again.

Although Li Qiniang did not see it with her own eyes, she could imagine it from the story of Zhou Dada. She sighed: "Brother said that Madam Ruan was not sick at all, but was stimulated and suffered a lot. A good person had such a problem and was also a pitiful person. The eldest brother said that she was harmed by her own sister. Alas, this would be so cruel that she would harm her own sister."

Zhou Dada clapped her hands with a smile and said, "You are a blessed person. You have been protected too well by the Li family since you were a child, so you have never seen that family with fraternity."

Li Qiniang smiled, and she also felt that she was very lucky.

The head of Zhou Da changed the subject and asked, "How are you treating you by the Duke of the State?"

Li Qiniang felt a little embarrassed and said, "The Duke of the State treats me very well. He gave me all the family assets in the mansion early on. He treats Sister Huai and Xiaoman as well, treating her as her own."

The Zhou Dada family knew that her sister would not lie about this matter. She felt relieved and asked about Yan Xuehuai's marriage again. Li Qiniang told the details about the marriage. The Zhou Dada family said, "When I was on the road, I heard that the Empress Dowager became a monk and nun. In my opinion, it will be only a few days before the palace will let you go and settle the day of their marriage."

Li Qiniang was stunned and said, "It's not yet time to ask for an appointment."

"No, it's coming soon, I guess the day will be set at the beginning of next year."

Zhou Dacheng was confident, but Li Qiniang was puzzled and asked, "Is it so early for spring? I thought it would be after the Mid-Autumn Festival at the earliest."

Zhou Dada looked at Li Qiniang with a smile: "You are too honest. I guess. Sister Huai has guessed it a long time ago. If you don't believe it, ask her when you see her and see if I guess it right. As for why, let your daughter tell you."

The next day, when Li Qiniang saw Yan Xuehuai, she talked about the date of getting married and asked Yan Xuehuai if she could guess what time the palace would be given.

Yan Xuehuai said: "This year is definitely not possible. It will be spring next year, and it will be a few months."

Li Qiniang was extremely surprised and hurriedly asked her daughter why she was so early.

Yan Xuehuai had no choice but to explain to her: "The Empress Dowager has become a monk."

"Becoming a monk? The Empress Dowager will not affect your marriage, right? I have never heard of my grandmother becoming a monk, so my grandson cannot get married." Li Qiniang said.

Yan Xuehuai smiled bitterly: "Grandmother's becoming a monk will not affect her grandson's marriage, but what if her grandmother died?"

Although the Empress Dowager was already a monk and the filial piety period of the royal family was different from that of the people, if the Empress Dowager really died, at least in the same year, the princes would not be able to get married, otherwise they would inevitably be tainted by others.

Li Qiniang was startled and said hesitantly: "She, she, will she die?"

The Empress Dowager was in power for many years. Since Li Qiniang was a child, she knew the name of Empress Dowager Du. Later, Empress Dowager Du, who was in power behind the curtain, became the Empress Dowager. In the subconscious of Li Qiniang and many people in the Wei Dynasty, people like the Empress Dowager will not die. She will always be above and look down on the people.

Yan Xuehuai raised her index finger, made a gesture of silence, and said with a smile: "This is what I guess. She has become a monk, so she deserves to die. It will be a disaster for a person like her to stay for one more day."

On the third day after Zhou Dacheng returned to the capital, the palace sent someone to summon her and Li Qiniang to the palace.

When the queen saw the two sisters, she asked the female Shi to show them the days selected by the Imperial Heaven Supervision. When Li Qiniang saw it, she said, "Isn't it?" It's all the days in the month after the beginning of spring.

Li Qiniang had to choose one of them. The queen smiled and asked about Zhou Hong's incident, and said, "I heard that Master Zhou took his wife to Beijing?"

Li Qiniang felt a stern. Zhou Hong had only been back to Beijing for three days. Even she had not seen Miss Ruan before, and the palace had already known about this.

The head of Zhou Da’s family did not hide it from it, and told him that Mrs. Ruan was sick. She said that Mrs. Ruan was born in a humble background, and was abducted by his son and rescued by Zhou Hong. Therefore, he agreed with his body. Mrs. Ruan was weak in nature and was frightened too much, so he fell into the root of the disease and was in poor health. He had already found a doctor and would come to the capital soon."

When the queen saw the emperor in the evening, she told him about Zhou Hong's wife's illness and obedient. Although the head of Zhou did not say it clearly, the queen also guessed that there was probably something mentally wrong.

The emperor did not speak, and the couple was as clear as a mirror. If the Zhou family had no family and their family were destroyed, Zhou Hong would be a noble son, how could he be in the world and marry a crazy daughter?

The emperor had someone investigated in private that Zhou Hong was really a bandit, and he was brave but not capable of making great achievements. Although his son failed to study, he was a martial arts seedling.

The queen added: "I listened to Zhou and Li's meaning. Zhou Hong was deeply in love with his wife and never left her."

Ruan is sick, and Zhou Hong thinks that she will not let her have children again. Unless Ruan dies, Zhou Hong is reunited with another child, Zhou Hong will only have Zhou Yun, a son.

The emperor smiled: "I have never thought about how to deal with the Zhou family. I didn't expect that Zhou Hong's wife would have a secret disease. It would be good that I will leave this favor to the prince."

The next day, the emperor pointed out the matter to the prince. The prince went to the academy in person. A few days later, Zhou Xiaobai's coursework added a military strategy.

There were only five people in the entire academy who had this course, and Zhou Xiaobai was one of the five. Even Chai Hao and Xiaoman didn't have to take military skills classes, but he wanted to go.

Although the military arts class is not taught every day, it also makes Zhou Xiaobai miserable, because the person who came to teach them the military arts class was actually the Duke of Dingguo to comfort him!

Every two days, Qi Wei would take half a day to teach these five people to learn military tactics in the academy. Among these five people, Zhou Xiaobai had the worst grades.
