Chapter 266: This Princess Will Not Take the Blame

Chapter 266: Chapter 266: This Princess Will Not Take the Blame

Her words were resounding, and immediately startled Qi Yu, who was just about to fall into sleep.

The nanny’s face turned cold, and she scolded immediately, "No loud voices are allowed in the Prince Residence."

Once she finished speaking, another solid slap landed on Song Yuting’s other cheek.

Qi Yu opened her eyes just in time to see this scene.

Now, both of Song Yuting’s cheeks bore a red slap mark, ironically looking quite symmetrical.

Qi Yu sneered lightly, took the teacup from the maid’s hand, and after leisurely sipping it, she said to the two nannies, "Both of you have worked hard."

Upon hearing this, the nannies immediately bowed and said, "It is our duty to serve the Princess diligently."

Song Yuting was stunned, incredulous that the person who had been hit was her, yet those two servants were being praised!

Qi Yu slightly raised her hand, signaling the maid to help her up from the lounge chair.

Having gotten used to being served by these people, she as a Princess, had gotten more pretentious and lazy.

While inwardly despising herself for it, Qi Yu then slowly walked up to Song Yuting and said lazily, "When did I, the Princess, ever break the rules? Please clarify, Miss Song, otherwise, I shall not take the blame."

Song Yuting almost spat in her face.

How could this despicable person even dare to say such things?

She herself wanted to ask, as a Princess, when has she ever followed the rules?

Every time she came to the residence, she saw her laying on the lounge chair like a boneless wonder, flipping through joke books and demanding massages.

All these things, which are not what a Princess should be doing.

Song Yuting coldly glared at her, the slap marks still burning on her face, making her feel utterly humiliated.

She disdainfully swept Qi Yu a look and faintly began, "Do you ever visit the Honored Princess in the palace daily? Have you ever managed the affairs of the Prince Residence?"

Qi Yu heard her listing her so-called faults, occasionally nodding slightly.

Song Yuting interpreted the nodding, meant to be receptive, as a challenge.

Furious, she pointed at Qi Yu and said, "You’ve been married into the Prince Residence for almost a year and have yet to bear my cousin a child or daughter!"

This last accusation truly hit a soft spot in Qi Yu’s heart, causing her eyes to widen slightly, almost catching Song Yuting’s rhetoric.

Luckily, she was an independently minded modern woman, and did not consider childbearing as important as life itself like the ancients did.

Besides, her body had just reached adulthood, why bear children instead of enjoying life?

Seeing Song Yuting momentarily lost for words filled her with satisfaction, sweeping away any previous frustrations and lightening her mood.

Axi shook her head while watching from the side.

She wasn’t sure where her mistress got the audacity to point fingers at Prince Qi’s Princess, even the Prince himself hadn’t said anything, and here she was, a stranger, rebuking the Princess, wasn’t this overstepping one’s place?

Yet, Song Yuting was completely unaware of any issue with her attitude, she even felt somewhat unsatisfied.

Qi Yu glanced sideways at her, and said with a faint smile, "The two nannies also witnessed how displeased my sister is with me, the Princess, it seems I truly am unpopular."

The two nannies, not foolish, quickly responded, "The Princess worries too much."

Qi Yu smiled faintly, glancing at Song Yuting who was still basking in triumph, a glint of intent flashing in her eyes.

Her stance today had given the two nannies enough room to play.

What Song Yuting would endure next might get interesting.

Qi Yu did not want to waste more time squabbling with Song Yuting, and after giving a few instructions on proper tutelage and her future inspections, she had the maid fold up her sunbed and left the small courtyard.

As soon as she left, Song Yuting thought she was liberated, and before the joy could appear on her face, it was erased by the nannies slapping each one onto oblivion.

Axi hurried forward and knelt down to beg for mercy, "Just now my young lady spoke too rashly and offended the Princess and the two nannies. This servant is here to apologize on behalf of the nannies."

The nannies paid no attention to her words. They had someone bring the ruler and made Song Yuting recite all the protocols she had just read, one by one.

If she recited anything incorrectly or hesitated, her palm would be immediately struck with the ruler.

At first, Song Yuting was defiant, shouting about having Song Feng come to arrest them.

But gradually, she was subdued by the continuous sounds of the ruler strikes.

By the time she finished reciting those complicated rules, dusk had fallen, and her palms were nearly beaten raw.

Understanding when to stop, the nannies left with a parting remark, "Come back tomorrow," then briskly went to the front hall to report to the Princess of Prince Qiu Residence.

Qi Yu offered them seats and had the maid bring tea, saying to the two nannies, "You have worked hard."

The two nannies replied, "It is this old servant’s duty."

Qi Yu had already asked Li Bo to prepare rooms, and had the maid escort the two nannies to rest.

At dinner time, she had someone send the meal prepared earlier to the separate courtyard where Song Yuting was staying.

Axi had just finished applying medicine to her young lady, and seeing the meal being delivered, hurried to receive it.

Upon opening it, she saw only some vegetable leaves in the food box, devoid of any meat, and she couldn’t help but stare blankly.

Song Yuting, having been forced to recite rules all afternoon, was extremely hungry.

Seeing Axi standing there dumbfounded, she became irritable and said in an annoyed tone, "What are you standing there for? Bring over the meal quickly!"

Axi bowed her head, sighed softly, before finally presenting the food box to her.

Looking at the unappetizing dinner, Song Yuting felt both angry and furious. She threw her chopsticks down and cursed, "That wretch, how dare she feed me this swine food!"

Fearing that walls might have ears, Axi hurriedly went out to check. Though she saw no one, she still couldn’t feel at ease.

She lowered her voice and said to her young lady, "Miss, we are at the Prince Residence now, please be very careful with your words!"

She had indeed witnessed the methods and vindictiveness of the Princess of Prince Qiu Residence today. If her words were overheard again, who knew how they might be punished.

Song Yuting, having been both beaten and scolded all afternoon, was already full of anger.

This time, seeing those green leaves, she completely lost her patience.

She hurled the food box out the door and furiously cursed, "That wretch, I must complain about her to grandfather!"

Axi looked on with a worried face as her young lady, hands on her hips, stormed out of the door, intending to confront the Princess of Prince Qiu Residence.

Shaking her head repeatedly, she felt as though she had aged a decade just from spending a day in the Prince Qiu Residence.

At Tinglan Pavilion, Qi Yu had early on sent for Song Feng to come over.

When Song Ting heard that they were going to Prince Qiu Residence, he shamelessly insisted on coming along.

Since returning to the capital, he had been training every day and was occasionally summoned to the palace by the emperor, as busy as a spinning top.

Finally having a free day today, he was determined to freeload a meal at the residence, remembering the grudge of the chicken leg incident.

The moment Song Ting entered the Prince Residence, he was like an unrestrained horse, unstoppable even by nine oxen.

Knowing his mischief, Li Bo specifically warned, "Young master, be careful not to step on any of the Princess’s herbs!"

Recalling the beating in Gusu, Song Ting’s hand, which was about to pluck a flower, stopped abruptly.

He pouted his lips and ran around the residence for a while.

Seeing it was dinner time, he saw Qi Yu walking towards him carrying a little fellow.

He frowned and snorted softly.

Where did this wild child come from?
