So after Zhang Xin entered the palace, she followed the arrangement of Old Man Zhang and stayed calm for two months, acting like a very obedient quail.

In terms of character, he is docile and abiding by the rules;

As for my hobbies, I just like to read quietly and don’t fight or compete for anything.

"Then you were chosen and became the Crown Prince's Consort of the King of Yan's family."

Princess Ning was a little bit amused and confused. It seemed that Zhang Xin's inner personality was completely different from her outward appearance.

"correct."

Zhang Xin gave herself some encouragement in her heart.

In her previous life, when she was on the waiting list in the palace and receiving instruction from the nanny, she was actually very terrified and was a real quail.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace never said a word and never smiled.

The maids were even more serious.

Occasionally, female officials from the Sixth Bureau would come over, and their faces rarely looked warm.

The late emperor had a bad temper.

According to Old Man Zhang, the late emperor has not been a good person since the death of the late queen and the former crown prince.

So later, even though Zhang Xin was chosen and named the Crown Prince's Consort, she was more anxious than happy.

The anxiety and fear brought about by this unexpected marriage to a wealthy family in her previous life lasted almost her entire life.

"Where's Aunt Seventeen? Is she volunteering or is she at home?"

Zhang Xin was also curious about Princess Ning. Prince Ning and Princess Ning were surprisingly good friends.

She had never had any in-depth contact with these two people in her previous life, and Princess Ning had never taken the initiative to look for her.

However, it may be that Princess Ning in her previous life did not like Zhang Xin at that time.

"I don't have a good father like you, Xin'er, to plan for me. Anyway, it was just an accident. It was quite interesting."

Princess Ning just smiled as she looked at the group of little girls in the yard.

The oldest one is eight or nine years old, and the youngest one is only five or six years old. They all have double buns and their hair is tied in a bun. They stand together in a row with clean faces.

This school takes good care of the children.

"Uh, did I show off to my dad?"

Zhang Xin heard a hint of melancholy.

"Just be naughty!!!"

Princess Ning was annoyed and pinched Zhang Xin's face again.

"Then Aunt Seventeen, tell me, what's so interesting about it?"

Zhang Xin intends to get to the bottom of the matter.

“You can learn a lot.”

"You don't teach me at home?"

"I can't teach you that. Having enough food and clothes is a good life. There's no such thing as drinking tea."

“Oh, that’s pretty poor.”

"So I loved making tea the most at that time. The tea room was warm, and the boiling water poured into the tea bowl. When the foam came out, I would pick it up and use the tea lid to skim it off. When skimming the foam, the edge of the cup was already very hot. When I held it in my hand, my whole body would warm up. The tea was also very fragrant, and I would feel refreshed after smelling it."

Princess Ning looked up at the sky, feeling a little bitter. But now that she was chatting with Zhang Xin, she seemed not to feel so bitter anymore.

"Aunt Seventeen is worthy of being my Aunt Seventeen!!! She's tough and thick-skinned!!! I hated making tea the most back then. After pouring the first batch of tea, when I poured the second batch, the tea bowl was scalding hot."

As for Zhang Xin herself, her daily homework was packed during those two months.

She has to read and write, embroider and sew, serve tea and water, stand and walk, comb her hair and dress herself, help with washing and so on.

At the end of the day, I feel like I am not myself anymore.

Making tea is the hardest job.

As long as the tea bowl is in their hands, unless the nanny takes it, they have to hold it without shaking their hands or showing any expression on their faces.

Even if you get blisters from the burns, you can't make a sound.

I went home to pick the blisters at night and continued to scald the next day.

When Zhang Xin first started crying, she would secretly cry in the middle of the night. She didn’t even dare to cry as much as she wanted, and after crying she would apply masks to her eyes to hide the traces of crying.

Because the nanny will find out the next day.

She didn't want to be rejected because of this and had to become a palace maid.

"I have had to cook and work since I was a child. The calluses on my hands only disappeared after I was in the palace for two months."

Princess Ning has already said it, so she doesn't mind saying a few more words.

She felt an inexplicable sense of peace when talking to Zhang Xin.

No matter what everyone has been like in the past, in Zhang Xin's eyes, there doesn't seem to be much difference. She won't show any sympathy or pity, nor will she be arrogant just because of her family's superior financial situation.

Zhang Xin even speaks directly to her mother-in-law, Xu, which is probably the confidence her parents gave her.

"I was always slower than others in the morning, and couldn't get any easy jobs. I was always carrying the wash basin. Fortunately, I had some strength, otherwise..."

Zhang Xin made a comment by the way.

"Haha, I'm the one holding the toothbrush in the morning."

"That's great! No matter how early I got up, there were always people who got up earlier than me! I never missed a single easy job."

"At that time, we were just these little girls down there, and from time to time someone would sit over to the side and look at us."

"When I first started, I would turn the other way if someone looked at me!"

"You became thick-skinned later, right?"

"Hehehe, Aunt Seventeen is smart!"

"So, Dad made a mistake and chose a daughter-in-law for his nephew instead?"

"The prince always says I'm a fool!"

"That's pampering, okay..."

"Uh..."

"So you really don't think your nephew treats you well? I see he's always at your service."

"I am useful! He also spends the money he earns from going to sea. I also manage the household and the affairs. I am very busy every day."

"...Well, everyone has their own blessings. I'll ask the prince later. If we go to sea, it will take half a year to prepare."

Princess Ning was a little speechless.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. She has been in Peking for more than half a year, and it can be seen that Zhu Gaochi, his fat nephew, really likes Zhang Xin.

"If we can't go out to the sea for the time being, how about walking westward?"

Zhang Xin proposed again.

"The west? The Western Regions? This is not easy to deal with. The envoys that the late emperor sent to Timur in the first few years have not returned yet!"

Princess Ning frowned when she heard Zhang Xin mention this.

"Ah, is that true? I heard the prince mention it, is it true that he didn't come back?"

Zhang Xin acted shocked.

"Well, it was in the 30th or 29th year of Hongwu, I can't remember exactly. Timur in the west hasn't come to pay tribute for a long time. When he came, he always stopped by Prince Ning's mansion."

Princess Ning didn't remember the details either.

There have been fewer border disturbances in recent years, and Daning is relatively peaceful.

She and Prince Ning were no longer as nervous as they were at the beginning.

The Ning Prince's Mansion is guarding the border, so naturally there are people from the Ning Prince's Mansion staying outside for many years. The news reported back in the past two years shows that there is no unusual movement.

Originally, she and Prince Ning thought that since the Ming Dynasty was now strong and the outside world was peaceful, it was not impossible.

Now that I put it this way, it really doesn't seem right.

Prince Yan has started the war, but no one outside knows about it?

There was civil unrest in the Ming Dynasty, but no one took advantage of the situation to loot?

She and Prince Ning had been living too comfortably in Beiping for a while and completely ignored

"Will you save your energy to cause trouble?"

Zhang Xin's expression turned a little more serious.

"It's hard to say. I have to ask my prince, or I can send someone back to check."

Princess Ning also became serious. She stopped watching the little girls study and stood up to leave.

"Aunt Seventeen, please talk to my young master and see if we can send some people over."

Zhang Xin reminded.

"it is good!"

Princess Ning responded neatly and quickly, and she walked fast. The word "good" was already the last word that came back.
