Chapter 508 Spicy Hot Pot Update (1)_1
The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the earth in a soft golden glow, covering Qingfang Garden. The sunset had painted the horizon red. Inside Qingfang Garden, Cai Wei was dog-tired after having been tutored by a stern-faced old palace maid on how to walk like a lady.
After lunch, the Empress had specially sent a teaching maid to instruct Cai Wei on the rules of etiquette. Cai Wei, who had wished to have a sound sleep after lunch, had ended up squandering a good chunk of her time memorizing "Women Rules" and "Women Taming," and learning the behavior standards of a lady.
"Please perform the walk one more time, Princess!"
The old maid kept a stern face and spoke seriously.
Even though Cai Wei was doing it perfectly, the old maid was still dissatisfied, finding fault with everything. It was clear she was nit-picking just to make things difficult for Cai Wei.
Of course, Cai Wei would not yield to this, if it was a matter of making someone’s life difficult, who didn’t know how to?
So, moments later, the old maid’s expression became inexplicably strange. She started twitching all over, her face looked bizarre, and then she couldn’t resist scratching herself vigorously, wishing she had more hands to use. Any semblance of the dignified appearance of a teaching maid was gone!
Cai Wei, standing beside the old maid and not understanding, asked, "Auntie, what’s wrong with you?"
The maid, with her face flushed red, scratched herself and said, "Please forgive me, Princess; this old servant is out of line. Please wait; this old servant will be back soon."
After saying this, she continued scratching herself and ran off as if flying.
"Tch!"
Cai Wei sneered dismissively, thinking that if the Empress and Zhao Yang believed they could torment her with such childish tactics, then they had underestimated her!
