Chapter 40: Etiquette in the Palace
"The etiquette here is no better than anywhere else, the old slave has not stopped for a moment from elementary school to the present, and has full authority to serve the king, and everything is centered on the king. ”
Mama Xiao said slowly, Mu Ling followed the left ear behind her and the right ear out, isn't this going around to serve the little mute...
"What are you muttering?"
Mu Ling secretly raised her head to meet Mama Xiao's gaze, and she was excited and lowered.
"Nothing..."
"On weekdays, you juniors don't know the rules and have to rely on my grandma, it's really trivial and distracted. ”
"Mama Xiao taught me a lesson. ”
"Come, take this. ”
Back in the room, Mama Xiao found a silk scarf and gave it to Mu Ling.
"Hold the edge of the corner of the hand, accounting for one percent of the entire silk scarf, and pinch it tightly with your index finger and thumb so that the silk scarf does not fall to the ground. ”
"Come like me. ”
Mama Xiao took a silk scarf to gently cover her face, and wiped a smile on her face through her eyes.
"See, I will teach you how to use the silk scarf, and then I will hide my face and smile. ”
Mu Ling looked left and right, this silk scarf also has a mystery?
On weekdays, I don't see a few people carrying it, and it is trouble to get to the world, and it is really bitter to follow the customs of the locals.
Mu Ling did so helplessly, but as soon as she pinched the four corners, she was beaten down by Mama Xiao.
The crisp palm fell with the silk scarf, and Mu Ling, who looked at the silk scarf on the ground, quickly picked it up. Shake the dust off it.
"That's how I taught you? This silk scarf is very particular, and you can't hold it casually like you. ”
Mama Xiao pressed a little harder, and then shivered.
"Straighten this scarf!"
"But..."
"What's the matter!!do as I say!" Mama Xiao interrupted Mu Ling directly, her eyebrows solemn, and her tone was slightly stern and reprimanding.
"I'm doing it again!"
Mu Ling tugged at her shirt tightly, and finally did it again, and after a few times, Mama Xiao didn't accuse, but asked Mu Ling to stop.
"It seems that you don't reprimand and reprimand much, you really don't have a long memory, this time there is some improvement compared to the last time, you straighten your waist and keep this action a cup of tea. ”
Time passed by a moment, and Mu Ling felt that her hand was no longer her own.
Mu Ling snorted, but unfortunately Mama Xiao didn't hear it.
"Alright, let's put it down!"
"The next one is to hide your face and smile, I won't say anything about the action, but you have to do a good job, don't think that if you have a cover, you will fake it, and you should do a good job in form, don't smile because you are hit hard, and if you are in a bad mood, it will not be good to cover the surface and not smile at all!"
"The pretense is also going to be in place for me! I can see through the loyalty through the eyes, a smile to the master is loyalty, and a fake anger is disloyalty!"
Mu Ling's hand pinched the silk scarf and slowly approached the corner of her mouth, then overflowed the bridge of her nose, stopped slightly under her eyes, and then Mu Ling showed a trace of a smile.
"I'm not allowed to take it, so you're going to keep it that way. ”
As time passed, Mu Ling found that she could not hold on more and more, and the last line of defense was also relaxed. It was a breath of time, but it was also caught by Mama Xiao.
"I can't hold on for such a little time, so if you want to laugh for a day, can you hold it?"
Mu Ling smiled awkwardly, one day... I'm afraid that my face will cramp before I can make a cup of tea, and if I laugh for a day, I'm afraid my whole face will not be my own.
Mu Ling put down the silk scarf and subconsciously touched her face, pinched it by the way, and thought about the ending of the laughing day...
"Did I tell you to take it!"
Mu Ling was startled, and hurriedly picked up the silk scarf and did the same action as before.
"Humph!"
Mama Xiao turned around, sat on the chair and tasted the tea easily, "Give me a cup of tea, when I finish tasting this tea, you will put it down." ”
Mu Ling smiled strongly, once she relaxed, she bent up slightly, and she couldn't see Mama Xiao finish tasting the tea after repeating it.
This is like a year, every minute feels very long, Mu Ling, who is looking forward to the end early, is impatient, this hand has been stiffened, I am afraid that after a while, this face will really not be his own.
Mama Xiao took a sip of tea and glanced at Mu Ling, this girl can actually live in Suiyu Garden, this luxurious Suiyu Garden is not something that ordinary slaves can live in. What kind of merit did this little minion make the king so rewarded?
However, a slave is naturally a slave, and it is not uncommon for the master to be in a good mood and reward a little money, and if her rank is there, she must follow the rules of the palace.
Mama Xiao fell into a trance when she thought about it, and Mu Ling was also quite anxious when she peeked at Mama Xiao, so she stopped...
Mu Ling moved her fingers carefully, put down her hand and shook it without taking advantage of it, and then immediately returned to her original state.
I don't know what Mama Xiao is thinking, thinking so fascinated.
While Mu Ling was learning the etiquette of the palace, the imperial dining room on the other side was also preparing ingredients.
When they entered the Imperial Dining Room, almost all the delicacies had been tasted, and the supervisor was so angry that he called out to all the Imperial Dining Rooms.
"What the hell is going on!!"
One by one, they lowered their heads and did not dare to squeak, and the air was instantly quiet, and only the sound of the director's breathing could be heard.
"If this thing does not fall on people, you, me, and you will all suffer!! you can't afford to delay the time for your masters to eat. ”
At this time, someone finally stood up and said in a panic, "Xiao Yue! Yes! Xiao Yue brought a newcomer yesterday, and it was the newcomer who ate it!"
"Newcomers? Generally, newcomers will report when they come in, but I don't remember that newcomers have entered the palace recently!"
"Director, I'm not lying, I don't trust anyone else. ”
The speaker pointed to several other people on the spot, "They are all witnesses! ”
"Yes, yes, yes, there was a new person for dinner last night. ”
Another deputy whispered softly in the supervisor's ear, "Why don't you call Satsuki for training!"
"It's too late, and now it's almost time to eat, so we can't afford to delay the time. ”
"What should I do, these foods have been untouched!"
The director held his breath and thought for a moment, "Go! You all take action, rearrange and arrange the dishes that can be changed, and leave the broken fish and chicken to me to deal with." ”
The supervisor gave an order, everyone began to act, and the fresh fruits that could be re-plated were re-plated, and those dishes that could no longer be completed were handed over to the supervisor, and the director looked at the chicken that was missing a piece of meat and shook his head, and put a knife on the chicken with tricks, as long as it could cover up the past.
As long as the things that reach the mouth do not arouse suspicion, after this hurdle, the entire imperial dining room will tide over the difficulties.
