Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused

Chapter 226 No Longer Helping in the Fight for the 5th Princess 2

In her previous life, she hadn't followed suit and learned how to get people out of the palace, but her mother had punished her severely. She knew her mother's intention in asking Madam Pang to teach her to be smarter and not be easily fooled.

Although she wouldn't have to manage the household herself in the princess's mansion, she still had to learn the necessary skills. As the nanny of the most powerful woman in the harem, her abilities were beyond the reach of some people in their entire lives.

"This old servant greets the Fifth Princess. Today, the Princess is half an hour late, so we should start as soon as possible."

Xu Tao knew that Aunt Pang was a person with a cold exterior but a warm heart, so she started to learn from her seriously.

Xia He knelt in the sun, feeling extremely aggrieved and cursing the Fifth Princess constantly, but her face remained submissive.

"Xia He, come and kneel in the shade."

Xia He didn't listen and continued to kneel straight, with beads of sweat falling from her forehead, as if she would faint at any time.

"Qiu Guo, why do you care about her?"

Dongxue frowned. Although the four of them grew up together, their relationship with Xia He was not very good. The other party always acted superior. She really didn't understand why she was so arrogant when they were all senior palace maids.

Qiu Guo wanted to give the naive Dong Xue some advice, "If she faints while kneeling here, what will others think of our princess?"

"What a bitch! The princess has been so good to us, why would she want to ruin her reputation?"

The three of them dragged her to a shady place and explained to others why she was punished.

The palace servants didn't think too much about it. They felt it was a great blessing to be able to serve in the Fifth Princess's palace. The princess was not harsh on the servants, was generous, and had no brothers to fight with. The other servants were eager to get in.

When Nanny Nanny and Nanny Song saw the three people come in, they nodded after listening to their description, thinking that it was worth it for the princess to be so kind to them.

Nanny Song was the Fifth Princess's head nanny. After hearing what Xia He did, her face darkened. "Yingchun, observe the second-class palace maids and see who's good at combing and washing hair."

"Yes, Ma'am." Yingchun understood that someone was going to be found to replace Xia He.

"How are you three doing with your studies?"

The three of them showed off their specialties respectively. Yingchun was good at making perfume, Qiuguo was decisive and careful in his work, was good at math, and was in charge of the private treasury. Dongxue followed the female doctor to learn some medical skills.

The wet nurse was a little dissatisfied with Yingchun's progress, so she took people back to continue teaching. However, Nanny Song was quite satisfied with Qiuguo, who was efficient and smart.

Dongxue has the easiest time. She is the best doctor among those serving the princess and also knows some kung fu.

After Xu Tao finished her studies, she collapsed on the bed and let Dongxue massage her. Fortunately, the maids were not rigid. After the studies, the princess wanted to relax in her own palace, and they would not preach.

As the days passed, Xu Tao, apart from studying in the palace, would go to his mother's palace to have breakfast with her. Of course, he would go to the queen's palace to pay his respects on the first and fifteenth days of the month.

Having seen so many beauties of all kinds, one has to say that her father is very lucky.

Speaking of her father, she hasn't seen him in three months since she came back. I heard that he was busy with government affairs and hasn't stepped into the harem for a long time.

"Fifth sister, fifth sister."

Xu Tao was sitting in the garden, feeding the fat koi in the lake. When she heard the sound, she turned around and frowned slightly.

"Fifth sister, why don't you say anything? Don't you welcome me?"

"Yeah, I just want to be alone for a while."

The Ninth Princess' smile froze on her face. After a few seconds of hesitation, she smiled even brighter. "I know Fifth Sister was joking with me. If there's anything on your mind, please share it with me. It might help you share some of your worries."

Xu Tao looked at the nine-year-old girl with a sincere face. She looked like a princess from the palace. She was very accomplished at such a young age.

"I didn't want to tell you, Ninth Sister, but seeing how concerned you are, I have no choice but to refuse. Money is a little tight lately, could you please return the jewelry you borrowed from me? If you really want to, could you give me a few thousand taels?"

"Sister, I want to too, but..."

"What's the matter? Are you unwilling to help me and are trying to use some ridiculous excuse, saying that the jewelry was lost and my monthly allowance has been spent? If so, I will help you find mother and see which palace maid is so audacious."

The Ninth Princess's face turned pale and then pale. Seeing that someone was really walking towards Fengxiang Palace, she hurriedly stopped them and said, "Look at what you said, sister. I haven't said anything yet. Don't worry, the jewelry is all there. I will send it to you later."

"No need. I have time today, so I can go with my sister. Qiuguo, go get the booklet and see what Ninth Sister has borrowed from me. Although we are in trouble now, we can't take advantage of Ninth Sister, right?"

"Yes, Princess. I'll go back and get it right away." Qiu Guo walked back excitedly. If she could run in the palace, she would definitely run back. In the past two years, the Ninth Princess often ran to her own princess to cry poor, and let her borrow a lot of good things, which made her feel so distressed.

The Ninth Princess walked in front, wanting to slap the maid twice. If she hadn't told her that her Fifth Sister was in the Imperial Garden, she wouldn't have gone to join in the fun. Now, not only did she not get any advantage, but she also had to vomit out everything she had eaten.

"Fifth sister, I remembered that I haven't paid my respects to Mother yet."

Halfway through the journey, the Ninth Princess finally came up with a reasonable excuse.

"It's okay, Ninth Sister, you go ahead. I'll go find the head nanny in your palace."

"Hehehe, I'd better stay with Fifth Sister first. I'll go accompany Mother for dinner."

Xu Tao countered every move along the way, and the two finally returned to the princess's residence. When they arrived at the Ninth Princess's bedroom, most of the furnishings inside looked quite familiar.

"Yingchun, go see where Qiuguo is."

"Princess, I'm here."

Qiu Guo was followed by a large and powerful group of people, including almost half of the servants in the palace.

Xu Tao was very satisfied and would reward her well when she got back. "Qiuguo, take a look and take back whatever belongs to us. Remember, don't touch the Ninth Princess's, otherwise I will hold you responsible."

"Okay, Princess, I will definitely not take any more of Princess Nine's belongings."

"Ninth sister, let's go to the private vault."

Even though the Ninth Princess was unwilling, she still ordered the palace servants to open it. Her background was not as good as her fifth sister's. Even though her mother gave birth to a son and a daughter, she could only reach the position of Concubine. She did not dare to resist.

"The crabapple headpiece with kingfisher feathers, the cloisonné enamel incense burner, the gold-inlaid gemstone plate, the Hainan pearls...they all belong to our princess. You must take them carefully."

The palace maid who followed carried the items carefully, and after counting the items in the private treasury, they took away all the decorative vases, partition screens, and brushes and inkstones used in the bedroom.
