I woke up as the Villainous Empress

89 New Chamber.

“What? You are going to stay at the Yang Household until the wedding?” Yang Ning’s eyes gleamed when she heard Yu Ling’s words.

She was glad that Yu Ling decided to stay by her side and support her. Because at the Yang Household, where all the people belong to Chang Ah and Yang Luoyang, she falls behind because other than Xiaowei, she has no one to lean on.

She was still trying to register in her mind that she is in the fictional world and has no idea what the hell is happening around her. Yet she has to deal with all the nuisances created by Chang Ah and Yang Luoyang all the time.

These people can do anything to her and no one will be able to come to protect her in time. Because she cannot fight against a group of people who are ready to rip her apart in pieces.

If Yu Ling will stay by her side, she will feel guarded and won’t need to worry about the schemes of Chang Ah and Xing Bao.

Yu Ling nodded and said, ” Yes. I will be staying at Yang Household until the royal wedding to teach you about the royal protocols and decorum. Just so you know, I am a strict teacher when it comes to teaching.”

“Haha. I am..scared now.” Yang Ning laughed but she was getting nervous already. Because Yu Ling doesn’t seem to be joking about her being serious about teaching the royal protocols to her.

Yang Ning pursed her lips and nodded in reluctance. She doesn’t want to attend the so-called etiquette classes but it’s better than being poisoned to death by Chang Ah and Xing Bao. As long as Yu Ling stays at Yang Household, she is willing to do anything.

Yu Ling didn’t inform Yang Ning of the reason she is staying at the Yang Household and that it was Zheng Liang, who had requested her to stay near her and protect Yang Ning until the royal wedding because it was supposed to be a secret until he finds the real plan behind Yang Luoyang arranging this royal marriage.

.....

She told him the same thing she told Yang Luoyang that she will be staying at the Yang Household to teach her royal manners and etiquette and will train her to become a devoted and dutiful Crown Princess who will not only marry the Crown Prince but will also take over the responsibility and the burden of becoming the Crown Princess of the Empire and the future Empress.

“By the way, what requests did you make?” Yang Ning asked curiously as she listened to the way Yu Ling cornered Yang Luoyang and made him accept her requests.

She was waiting for her to tell her the complete story while looking at Yu Ling with her sparkling eyes as if looking up at her idol.

The character of the Head Court Lady is cool and savvy. How come she doesn’t remember anything much about her reading in the novel? Yang Ning wondered.

Her name does sound similar when she hears it but she cannot remember anything about her significance in the novel. If there were more prominent scenes about her character, she would have remembered her.

After Yu Ling was done massaging and changing the bandage on Yang Ning’s wounded feet, she stood up and started rummaging through her cupboard and said, ” You will find out about it later. For now, you need to get ready and have your breakfast first.”

“Because after that, you will be coming with me to see your new chamber.” Yu Ling said as she handed her a turquoise color simple dress made of low-quality cotton fabric and said, ” You can wear this for now. Although you won’t be needing this from now on, you can wear this one for the last time.”

Yang Ning looked at her in puzzlement and asked, ” What do you mean I won’t be needing this? By any chance are you throwing away these clothes?”

” Don’t do that. Because the budget allotted to Yang...*cough* it isn’t sufficient to buy anything out of necessity.” She coughed in between upon realizing that she almost made a mistake and addressed Yang Ning using her name as if she was talking about someone else.

Thankfully she stopped in time and pretended as if nothing happened. Otherwise, she would be the next target of Yu Ling’s detective session.

Yu Ling smiled politely at her and said, ” You should take a bath now. Let’s go. I will help you to take a bath.” She said and held Yang Ning’s hand to take her to the bathroom which is outside in the backyard.

“Thank you for saying this. However, I can manage it myself. I don’t like anyone helping me take a bath.” Yang Ning insisted and tried to loosen Yu Ling’s grip on her arm.

She doesn’t like someone helping her take a bath. She is an adult, why would she need someone to help her with bathing when her hands are working fine? It’s so stupid and childish and highly embarassing.

She never allowed Xiaowei to accompany her for taking a bath, how can she allow Yu Ling to do the same when she met her only yesterday? It will be so awkward and uncomfortable to take a bath naked in front of her.

While Yang Ning was trying to stop Yu Ling from helping her to take a bath, Yu Ling grasped her arm even more tightly and said, ” This won’t do. You’re soon going to be the Crown Princess and a Crown Princess doesn’t take a bath herself.”

” You will have the court ladies at the palace to help you take a bath and even give you a massage while you soak in the warm water. If you weren’t doing this before the marriage, you should get used to it from now on.” Yu Ling said firmly.

“I...I don’t want to. I can manage it myself.” Yang Ning tried to brush off Yu Ling, but she isn’t someone to give up easily.

” You wouldn’t be allowed to take a bath on your own after you marry into the royal palace. So you should get used to this attention. Consider it as my first lesson of your royal palace decorum lessons. Now don’t be stubborn and follow me.” Yu Ling didn’t give her a chance for Yang Ning to protest and dragged her out of the chamber to take a bath.

Yang Ning: “.....”

“What? Are you sure this is going to be my chamber from now on?” Yang Ning’s eyes widened to see the chamber that was in the front yard, next to the chamber of Yang Luoyang and Chang Ah.

The chamber was not isolated from the main household, unlike her previous chamber, and was in the same place where the main chamber of Yang Luoyang and Chang Ah was located.

Yu Ling nodded and said, ” Yes. This is going to be your chamber from now on. I have already moved the things out of this chamber and asked the workers to empty it. Now they are working on moving your luggage from your chamber to this room.”

Yang Ning was speechless as she wasn’t expecting things to change so suddenly. Is this happening for real?

However, that was not the reason why she was shocked. It was because Yu Ling not only convinced Yang Luoyang to allocate her a spacious and decent-looking chamber but it was the chamber belonging to none other than the only son of Yang Luoyang and Chang Ah, Yang Jin.

He was only 10 years old yet he was the owner of the second-most biggest chamber in the household and his chamber was decorated with beautiful paintings, artifacts, and porcelain.

Since the day she came into this world, she has been seeing this chamber empty and it was unoccupied because that kid has gone to the academy to study.

It was the academy where all the nobles go to study and also learn to do archery, horse riding, and many more things that are a must for a nobleman to know.

Xiaowei told her that the academy was the best academy, not only in the capital but also in the whole Empire, and many people from the other kingdoms also come to the Zheng Empire to learn from the excellent teachers of the Yuan Lin Academy.

Yang Luoyang and Chang Ah never allowed Yang Ning to use this chamber even though he was not at home and went to the academy to study. They rather keep it unoccupied than allow her to use it.

However, how did Yang Luoyang agree to this request of Yu Ling? If Chang Ah finds out about it, she will have a major meltdown because of this.

Yang Luoyang gave her permission to use the chamber of her loving son after all.
