C162 Know the Ways of the World but Not the Ways of the World

Not long after Duan Shuang returned to the mansion, Butler Duan immediately came to report.

"Your Highness, Yang Lanqing is here again."

Duan Shuang looked at the conflicted Butler Duan and asked with a smile, "Why do you look so anxious today?"

"Your Royal Highness, yesterday when Miss Jiegeng left, she ordered me to let her in if Yang Lanqing came to the Imperial Residence again. But, Your Highness... "

Butler Duan's words made Duan Shuang recall what Jiegeng said before she left yesterday.

"Older brother Yun, if Yang Lanqing comes again in the future, you must treat her well and make her have an illusion!" Jiegeng's eyes moved agilely.

"What, you are not jealous anymore? You even took the initiative to arrange it for me?"

Jiegeng immediately pushed Duan Shuang away, "What are you thinking about!? Dream on. "

"I know you want to play, but why are you doing this?"

"There is a saying that goes, the higher you climb, the heavier you fall! Brother Qu, you are so knowledgeable. It is impossible that you have never heard of it before, right?"

"Why did you suddenly think of dealing with her like this? Like Ho Lingloong, you directly disfigured her."

"How is that the same. Ho Lingloong first used a trick on me, but I also returned the favor with an eye for an eye. But this Yang Lanqing is using my feelings. I treated her sincerely, but she had a bad idea to get close to me. Didn't you guys call it 'friends and wives are not to be bullied'? If it was a woman, it would naturally be 'friends and husbands are not to be taken away'. She had hurt my sincere feelings for her, so I naturally had to play with her. It was also her heart."

After Jiegeng's words, Duan Shuang could not help but size Jiegeng up. "Compared to when we first met, you have really changed a lot."

" I am not a fool! He had stayed in this strange and unpredictable capital for a year. If he still had that ignorant look on his face, then what you like is really a fool!" Jiegeng was anxious. She was worried that Duan Shuang would misunderstand that she had become one of those women.

Duan Shuang held Jiegeng's hand and placed it on his chest. "I know. You know the ways of the world, but you don't know the ways of the world. You understand the mutual deception, but you have maintained your pure heart. You have never changed this point. What you are doing now is only protecting yourself. You don't have to feel guilty."

Duan Shuang immediately pointed out the contradiction in Jiegeng's heart, which made her feel very touched.

"You only know how to coax people."

"You have touched my conscience. How could I coax you?"

Jiegeng immediately pulled her hand back, "You have changed a lot!"

Duan Shuang smiled evilly. "Is that so? Where?"

"I thought you were a cold-faced gentleman, but you are actually a playboy."

" So you are saying that you are not afraid that I will really take a fancy to Yang Lanqing someday? " Duan Shuang held Jiegeng's slender waist and deliberately asked.

Jiegeng's eyes were staring at Duan Shuang as she replied in a serious manner, "I am not worried because I believe in you."

When his thoughts returned, Duan Shuang's heart still felt as sweet as honey.

"Your Royal Highness?" Butler Duan saw Duan Shuang suddenly laugh and immediately called out, "Your Royal Highness, what exactly is going on?"

"Didn't I say it before? Just listen to Jiegeng." Duan Shuang stopped smiling.

Butler Duan nodded, his heart becoming more certain.

Ci Yuyu Palace.

"Wet nurse Xi, bring her down. Change her clothes and come back again." The Empress Dowager really did not care about the current Bai Jiegeng.

"Empress Dowager, there is no need, right?" Jiegeng immediately rejected.

"Impudent! How can I not allow you to speak within Ci Yu Palace?" wet nurse Xi immediately berated.

Facing these two women who were more than half a hundred years old and were only forced to change their clothes, Jiegeng could not say anything no matter how much she opposed it.

After a while, wet nurse Xi appeared in front of the Empress Dowager with Jiegeng who was dressed up.

Today's attire did not need to be the same as before. Previously, because Jiegeng did not like thick and heavy headgear, she had carefully dressed up and her headgear was already refined and elegant.

But today, Jiegeng's hair was tied up in a bun with a pearl hairpin and jade ornament. He felt as if his neck was going to be bent. Furthermore, the dress wet nurse Xi chose for Jiegeng was the most cumbersome type. Jiegeng took a step forward and was worried that she would step on the lower hem of the inner layer. Under the weight of her entire body, Jiegeng had no choice but to be 'dignified'. She did not even dare to make small movements that she was used to.

When the Empress Dowager saw Jiegeng dressed up, her eyes also lit up.

"It is true that one relies on clothes and Buddha relies on gold." The Empress Dowager looked at Jiegeng and gave a rare smile, "After tidying up like this, it seems to have some form of appearance."

"Yes, Empress Dowager, His Highness's taste is still very good."

The Empress Dowager nodded her head.

"However, this temperament is still lacking." Before the time it took to make a cup of tea had even passed, the empress dowager had already started to pick on him.

"Miss Bai was used to being lazy before and her movements were too stiff. Teaching properly, there will definitely be changes." wet nurse Xi replied.

After the Empress Dowager heard this, she raised her eyes, "This matter will be left to you."

"Yes, Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager then entered the inner hall and Jiegeng immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to sit on a chair to rest for a moment, wet nurse Xi called out to her.

"Miss Bai, please slow down?"

"The Empress Dowager has a finger and ordered this old servant to teach the young miss well."

"Wet nurse Xi, this has been going on for so long. Why don't you take a rest?" After Jiegeng's conversation with the Empress Dowager and the others this morning, she knew that they did not have any ill intentions towards her this time. Only then did her nerves relax a little and started to act coquettishly towards wet nurse Xi.

"Miss, don't make this old servant difficult. If the Empress Dowager finds out, Miss will know the consequences."

"Alright, alright, alright, I understand." Jiegeng really wanted to lower her head at this moment, but the weight on her head made her fantasize.

"Then, please stand up straight."

Jiegeng sighed and continued to discuss with wet nurse Xi, "wet nurse Xi, why don't you let me change this outfit and practice it again?"

"Empress Dowager's meaning is to let Miss Bai dress like this in the future." wet nurse Xi's expression did not change.

Jiegeng could only force herself to stand up straight. Because she was too tired, she could not help but start to pant.

"Miss Bai, please pay attention to your breathing posture." wet nurse Xi also went forward to correct Jiegeng's posture.

The current Jiegeng was even more uncomfortable.

"Miss Bai, if you can't learn how to stand, you must always stand until you learn. Miss is a smart person. She shouldn't make things difficult for herself like this."

At this moment Jiegeng fiercely stared at wet nurse Xi and was helpless and could only obediently do as she was told.
