88 As Prince Zhao’s Future Princess Consort, Try Not to Show Your Face Outside
As the eunuch’s loud voice sounded, Shen Yaowei strode into the inner hall.
Shen Yaowei immediately felt a hateful gaze on her. She looked up slightly and saw Su Baohua sitting in a wheelchair, staring at her intently.
She was still wearing a wig and was dressed quite gorgeously. Her current appearance was completely different from her crazed appearance on the pleasure boat.
Shen Yaowei subconsciously put her hand into her wide sleeve and touched the little puppet hidden inside.
!!
“Thank you, Empress Dowager.” Shen Yaowei quickly walked up to Empress Dowager Su and bowed obediently.
Empress Dowager Su glanced at Shen Yaowei coldly. “Rise and sit.”
When the eunuch brought over a stool, Shen Yaowei sat down obediently.
Lowering her eyes, she looked like a weak little white rabbit.
Empress Dowager Su narrowed her eyes and sized up Shen Yaowei. “Your engagement with Prince Zhao has been set. Did the residence hire an instructor to teach you the etiquette of a princess consort?”
“No,” Shen Yaowei replied crisply.
Empress Dowager Su frowned in dissatisfaction. She thought to herself that Shen Liu’an’s reputation as his daughter’s slave was indeed real. She could not help but say in a cold voice, “That’s true. Your father is busy and probably did not think of this. The teachers and grannies in the palace are all top-notch. I’ll send two people to the Shen residence to teach you the rules tomorrow. I hope you won’t let me down.”
Shen Yaowei did not expect Empress Dowager Su to interfere in her business for the first time. She remembered very clearly that this had never happened in her previous life.
Raising her face, Shen Yaowei looked at Empress Dowager Su timidly. “Your Majesty, I’m afraid I can’t learn those rules well.”
Empress Dowager Su hated Shen Yaowei’s timid appearance the most. She snorted in her heart, but she maintained a calm expression. “As the future Princess Consort Zhao, you have to learn those rules no matter what.”
Shen Yaowei shrugged slightly, looking helpless. “Alright.”
“However, I heard that you haven’t stayed in the Shen residence for the past few days?” Empress Dowager Su suddenly asked.
Only then did Shen Yaowei understand why Empress Dowager Su had called her here.
This old woman had always doted on Huo Zhao. She was afraid that she had heard some rumors and was afraid that she would really do something wrong to Huo Zhao, so she called her over for questioning.
“Your Majesty, I’ll be staying in the courtyard for the next few days,” Shen Yaowei replied softly, without any panic.
“A courtyard?” Su Baohua, who had not had the chance to speak, finally could not help but look at Shen Yaowei mockingly. “The Shen family’s residence is one of the best in the capital. It’s as gorgeous as the w.a.n.g family’s residence. Shen Yaowei, why did you choose to stay in a courtyard instead of staying with the Shen family?”
Shen Yaowei turned to look at Su Baohua and asked with a serious expression, “Princess Baohua, is staying in a courtyard against the law?”
Su Baohua: “…”
She clearly didn’t mean that.
“As Prince Zhao’s future princess consort, try not to show your face outside.” Empress Dowager Su stared deeply at Shen Yaowei. “Otherwise, if you’re seen as a joke and affect Prince Zhao, I won’t let you off.”
Shen Yaowei did not say anything and only looked at Empress Dowager Su with misty eyes.
Empress Dowager Su sighed.
She really had a headache over her good imperial grandson.
Marrying such a fool would make them a laughing stock.
“Your Majesty, I heard that copying Buddhist scriptures can clear one’s mind. Why don’t we let Shen Yaowei copy the Buddhist scriptures? It might be beneficial to her recovery,” Su Baohua said to Empress Dowager Su with a smile.
Empress Dowager Su’s eyes lit up, and she nodded slightly. “That’s true. Eunuch w.a.n.g, bring Miss Shen to the Buddhist Hall and ask her to copy the Heart Sutra 81 times. Before she’s done, she’s not allowed to leave the hall.”
