Prince Ning slammed his fist heavily on the table.

I really don't know how the King of Wu and his men handled things.

Is it really that hard to label Qi Zhiyu as a monster?

How did Qi Zhiyu manage to turn things around?

Since he couldn't openly torment Qi Zhiyu, he had plenty of ways to do so within the rules.

He'll teach Qi Zhiyu proper manners when they get married in three days!

Since the death of that old nanny and several guards, the servants of the Prince Ning's mansion have learned the rules.

He was extremely methodical in his work and took excellent care of Qi Zhiyu.

"Princess, the wedding is tomorrow, please rest early," the maid reported.

"Because the prince is deeply favored by His Majesty, the prince and the princess must go to worship Heaven and their ancestors when they get married."

Qi Zhiyu looked at the maid and smiled: "You mean we're leaving first thing in the morning?"

"That's right." The maid handed the booklet of procedures to Qi Zhiyu.

There was absolutely no room for negotiation; they just informed her at the last minute.

"Okay, I understand." Qi Zhiyu nodded slightly.

The maidservant curtsied and left.

Luo Yu immediately opened the booklet and began to read.

She got angry as soon as she read the first rule: "Get up at 1-3 AM?"

"So how are you going to sleep tonight?"

"That's too much!"

"Who puts on makeup this early in the morning?"

"They only set off at Chenshi (7-9 AM) to worship Heaven and Earth... What are they trying to do?"

Ning Shuang advised, "Listen to the princess."

Luo Yu looked over angrily; their princess of Da Rui absolutely could not tolerate this.

Qi Zhiyu simply smiled slightly.

Luo Yu blinked twice. Did the princess mean...?

The next day, just as the hour of Chou (1-3 AM) arrived, all the nannies and maids in Qi Zhiyu's courtyard got up.

They all looked excited; they had really had their fill of serving Qi Zhiyu these past few days.

However, she is just a princess from Da Rui, yet she is still acting arrogantly in their royal palace.

Does she really think she's so noble?

Today, let her know how to be a royal daughter-in-law!

Someone went to open the courtyard gate and let in the nannies and maids who were waiting outside to do Qi Zhiyu's makeup.

The remaining people carried their toiletries and walked towards Qi Zhiyu's door.

Upon reaching the door, Ning Shuang emerged from the shadows and stood in front of it.

The old woman smiled and said, "Miss Ningshuang, please help the princess to get up."

"Otherwise, it would be bad if we missed the auspicious time."

Ning Shuang said, "My princess hasn't gotten up yet, so no one is allowed to make a sound."

The old woman's smile froze: "Miss Ningshuang, the wedding arrangements were given to the princess yesterday."

Luo Yu also came out and asked sarcastically, "Just because we gave it to her, does our princess want to see it?"

"Just because I've read it, does that mean I have to do it exactly as instructed?"

The maids and servants of the Prince Ning's mansion were all shocked. Why was Qi Zhiyu like this?

"Today is the wedding day. If we miss the auspicious time..." the nanny threatened.

Luo Yu scoffed, "Then we won't get married. We'll take the princess back with us."

"Then, you'll see my Great Rui's iron cavalry crush Northern Yunnan!"

The old woman turned pale with fright. She wanted to shout loudly to wake Qi Zhiyu up.

However, her gaze swept over Luo Yu and Ning Shuang, and she forcefully suppressed the thought.

She was terrified that she would lose her life before she could even shout it out.

With the examples of Granny Xu and those guards before her, she dared not gamble with her own life.

"Go and report to the Prince," the nanny instructed.

The maidservant hurriedly went to report to Prince Ning.

Prince Ning, who had been sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by the noise. Annoyed, he asked what had happened and cursed, "Useless!"

He immediately ordered his men to get up and change his clothes, and then strode over to Qi Zhiyu's courtyard.

"Get out of the way." Prince Ning stared at Ning Shuang and Luo Yu, who were blocking the doorway, and coldly ordered.

Ning Shuang said nothing, but a dagger gleaming with cold light appeared in her hand.

Luo Yu smiled at Prince Ning: "Anyone who dares to disturb my princess's rest, I'll take their head."

Prince Ning gritted his teeth and demanded, "You dare kill me?"

"What is there to be afraid of?" Luo Yu said disdainfully. "His Majesty instructed my sister and me to put the Princess first in everything!"

"The princess's orders are paramount!"

"Anyone who dares to offend the princess is declaring war on the Great Rui."

Shocked, Prince Ning asked in disbelief, "What? Da Rui dares to send troops for a mere princess?"

Luo Yu smiled, a smile full of meaning: "His Majesty only uttered five words—'Pool the entire nation's strength!'"

Prince Ning's eyes widened in disbelief at what he had just heard.

When Emperor Kangwu assigned these two bodyguards to Qi Zhiyu, Qi Zhiyu still had a notorious reputation for being a monster.

At that time, Emperor Kangwu was willing to do anything to support Qi Zhiyu?

Emperor Kangwu was willing to destroy the Great Rui Dynasty to support Qi Zhiyu, right?

Emperor Kangwu's favoritism was absolutely insane!

Prince Ning glared fiercely at Luo Yu.

Luo Yu showed no sign of panic, only a mocking and composed smile.

Prince Ning took a deep breath, flicked his sleeves, and left.

He's gone, but those who were supposed to help Qi Zhiyu get up and put on makeup don't know what to do.

They also wanted to leave.

However, Luo Yu spoke up: "Weren't you all waiting for the princess to wake up so you could serve her?"

"You all wait here."

"Anyone who dares to leave will have to serve in the underworld from now on."

The maids and servants were startled, their initial excitement at wanting revenge replaced by fear, and they all trembled with dread.

They could only stand there, holding what they were holding.

It wasn't until it was fully light that any movement came from inside the house.

Luo Yu and Ning Shuang, who were resting with their eyes closed, immediately opened their eyes, and Luo Yu pushed the door open and went in.

Frost was still outside the door.

A moment later, Luo Yu came out: "You can go in now."

The nannies and maids, their bodies stiff from standing, finally dragged their weary and heavy bodies inside.

After Qi Zhiyu finished washing up and eating breakfast, she let them put on makeup.

Originally, brides were not allowed to eat anything for the sake of convenience during the wedding.

However, no one dared to speak while Qi Zhiyu was eating.

Even their prince was defeated, so what are they?

By the time Qi Zhiyu finished her makeup, it was almost time. Prince Ning came over and said sarcastically, "The princess seems to have had a good rest."

The dark circles under his eyes clearly showed that he hadn't slept well after returning home in the early hours of the morning.

This contrasts sharply with the radiant Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu didn't even look at him: "Hmm, it's not bad."

Prince Ning gritted his teeth: "I got up at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM) to prepare, but the princess slept until dawn."

"Luo Yu," Qi Zhiyu called out.

Luo Yu exposed his lie: "From the time the maid went to report to the arrival of the prince, if the prince had gotten up much earlier, why would it have taken so long?"

"It is clear that the prince was awakened while he was fast asleep, and came over after tidying himself up."

Prince Ning choked, then angrily accused, "Qi Zhiyu, you truly have no sense of shame whatsoever!"

Qi Zhiyu laughed: "Since you're all shameless, I'll naturally grant your wish."

"Isn't this the most basic virtue of a virtuous wife?"

"Your Highness, did I do well?"

Luo Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Prince Ning was so angry that his face turned ashen.
