The problem is that you picked the wrong energy for your p/c. Many people make this mistake when choosing and introducing a companion pet. The pet that you choose should either match or be lower than energy of your other dog. But it's too late now, you've gotten the new puppy. It's like 450Donn said, an older dog that is set in his ways is not going to want a bratty little kid around. I'm sure she's a great puppy, but that's the deal. How long have you had the puppy? Maybe given time, the older dog will learn to adapt to the younger, and learn to put up with her a little more.
The only other thing I can think of that you can do, is to drain as much of the puppies energy as you can, by taking her on fast paced walks/runs, and lots of playtime with you. She will be tired, and won't be such a bug to your older dog.
