On the way out of the palace, Zhou Ying looked curiously at the consort selection.

There were two nannies teaching the ladies the rules and manners of the palace. If they were slightly wrong, they would be slapped with a ruler.

Therefore, no matter how high her status once was or how arrogant she once was, the women were now being scolded like the nannies’ grandson.

Zhou Ying wanted to laugh, but at the same time, she was glad that she didn’t have to suffer something like this.

At the same time, she made up her mind that she would never let Guoguo suffer like this in the future.

At night, after entering the interspace, Zhou Ying told Gu Chengrui about Zhi Shan’s request.

Gu Chengrui heard this and replied, “It’s a good thing to report this to the Emperor. However, you must be careful when you speak before them. Don’t mention anything that involves the imperial court.

“Also, keep an eye on her. Don’t let anyone take the opportunity to frame you for something.”

“I will be careful.” Zhou Ying nodded.

The next morning, Zhou Ying first asked Niu Fugui to go to the restaurant and greet the two managers, asking them to look in private to see if they could find a big yellow croaker and seabass.

If they had them, she wouldn’t have to take the risk of getting the fish out of her interspace.

In the middle of the morning, Eunuch Sun carried a basket of snacks to the door and passed down the Emperor’s orders to Zhou Ying that she could do as she saw fit, as long as she didn’t feel that she was losing out.

After sending off Eunuch Sun, Zhi Shan and her maid came to visit once again.

Zhou Ying stepped forward and bowed.

“Madam Gu, you’re too polite. No matter what, you’re still half my teacher.

There’s no need to bow.” Zhi Shan laughed.

“Don’t mind if I don’t.” After Zhou Ying greeted them, she led them inside.

At the same time, she said, “I bought some Spanish mackerel today. I’ll teach you how to cook Spanish mackerel in a while.

“Spanish mackerel is easy to make. The most indispensable thing is to add vinegar. As long as the vinegar is in place, it won’t taste bad with onions and ginger.”

“Can you also teach us how to gut a fish correctly?” Zhi Shan laughed awkwardly.

“Of course. Different fish are gutted differently, especially pufferfish. If you don’t handle them properly, you’ll die.”

“Is it that serious?”

“Of course. Their livers are poisonous. We can’t eat the fish if we don’t clean them up correctly.”

When they reached the kitchen, Zhou Ying finally understood that they were total beginners at gutting fish.

Zhou Ying had no choice but to teach them carefully. As for how much they had learned, she did not care; they had to practice more on their own.

In the afternoon, they had an all-fish feast before the princess and her maid left.

After that, Zhi Shan came for five consecutive days. She finally succeeded in cooking up a decent dish of Spanish mackerel and bighead carp.

Although the taste was a little lacing, it was good enough.

Five days later, another batch of twenty women were eliminated from the consort selection; most of them were from outside the capital.

One afternoon, three days later, Zhou Ying ate her lunch late and wanted to go to the restaurant to ask about the batch of seafish. However, just as she was done cleaning up, she saw Gu Chenglin and Gu Chengxi walking in listlessly.

Especially Gu Chengxi, who was a little agitated.

Zhou Ying asked curiously, “What’s wrong with you two? Why are you here at this time? Did something happen?”

“I guess so.” After Gu Chenglin finished speaking, he asked Niu Lirong to prepare them a pot of herbal tea.

Zhou Ying didn’t rush him. Instead, she sat to the side and waited for them to speak.

“Sister-in-law, do you know that a group of beautiful girls were rejected from the consort selection?” Gu Chengxi asked after a while.

“I know. I heard that they are mainly from outside the capital. What does it have anything to do with them?” Zhou Ying nodded and asked..
