After breakfast, Mama began to teach about the big and small palace rules, there are many palace rules, some palace rules are easy to remember, such as "the harem has its own personal rank, etc., must be ranked according to their own rank, humble and obedient, with respect, to be courteous", and then for example, "low-level concubines should not be insulted, against concubines with higher levels than themselves, otherwise they will be demoted or driven out of the palace".

But some are extremely detailed, such as the requirements for clothing and accessories, "above the concubine position can wear red, such as: orange red, begonia red, rose red, etc., can be worn step shake, can wear tassels" and so on.

The concubines in the palace are divided into nine grades according to the upper and lower grades, and each grade is divided into genuine and side grades, such as Concubine Shu is one of the four concubines of the side of the first grade, and the Rou noble and I are only the nobles of the side six grades. Depending on the grade, the monthly salary and treatment are naturally different. Lower-ranking concubines should salute higher-ranking concubines.

The salute is divided into flat salute, half salute, and big salute. Great gifts are generally only performed when sacrifices, canonizations, and orders. Greeting concubines who are higher than oneself generally has to be half-saluted. Concubines of the same rank should salute each other and salute each other.

Mama said, I listened carefully and memorized it by heart. The morning went by very quickly.

As he spoke, there was a sound of pushing and shouting outside the door, as well as the screams of a woman. Listening to the voice, it looks like Li Xuanzhi. There is also the shouting and scolding of the teaching grandmother. Mama Bai frowned when she heard this. Ling'er and Dong'er stood motionless, without the master's orders, and didn't dare to look.

I looked at Mama, and Mama knew that she said lightly: "Anything can happen in this palace, and it is a great luck for the little master to be alone, don't go to those troubled waters that shouldn't be visited." ”

I nodded and whispered, "Mama Xie taught, Mama's mention, you must keep it in mind." But a heart is in my throat, beating hard.

The screams outside the window continued for a while, and then gradually became a whispering sound of a woman's sobbing. There was also a scolding voice on the side of the teaching grandmother: "So stupid, and still want to serve the emperor! If you don't memorize the palace rules today, don't want to eat!"

Then there seemed to be a sound of the door opening, and the soft and glutinous voice of the noble man sounded: "Yo, Mama, what's wrong, I'm so angry." ”

Mama's voice sounded again: "Excuse me little master, my duty to teach Mama is to teach the rules of the little masters, and a talent like you, little master, must learn quickly, but Li Xuanzhi-"

Before the words fell, he was interrupted by the noble man, "Mama also knows that it disturbed the little master." This study of the palace rules, but you have to calm down and listen carefully to the teachings, your interruption caused me to not remember the palace rules, can you afford this responsibility?"

The voice changed again: "Besides, it doesn't matter if you disturb me, but the future concubine lives in this main hall, if you disturb her..."

"The slave and maid know that they are wrong, the slave and the maid know that they are wrong, the little master has a large number, and the slave and maid will take Li Xuanzhi back to the apse. Listening to the voice, he taught Mama to fall to her knees with a thud and admit her mistake and beg for mercy.

Then there was the sound of staggering footsteps, and the teaching grandmother took Li Xuanshi back to the apse. This farce caused Mama Bai's training to stop temporarily, and I got a little time to rest, and Mama Bai went out.

There were only three people left in the room: me, Ling'er, and Dong'er. Dong'er lowered her eyebrows and stood aside, but Ling'er looked up at me from time to time, looking like she wanted to say something.

"What do you two know?" I asked.

"I heard that after Li Xuanzhi and Mama went back yesterday, she taught Mama to dislike the room she lived in was too dirty, and asked Li Xuanzhi to clean it for her, but Li Xuanzhi refused, so she forcibly occupied Li Xuanshi's house-" Ling'er saw me asking, so she couldn't wait to tell me what she heard today.

"Today is also yesterday, when Mama holds a grudge, when she is learning the palace rules, she is asked to copy them ten times, and she has to finish them before lunch. There are more than 300 palace rules, and in such a short time, even if you can't finish it once. Mama said that Li Xuanzhi was lazy and disobedient to discipline, and she was not allowed to eat lunch, beating and scolding. Li Xuanzhi wanted to run out and chased from the apse to the front yard, so he made a fuss. ”

"This Li Xuanzhi is really good. Although the position of the waiter is low, she is also the daughter of a Beijing official, but now she is so humiliated, it is nothing more than that her father does not love her, and her mother died early, and she has no power or power, and she has no money to do it. ”

"But Li Xuan's waiter is really beautiful, with a melon seed face, delicate skin that can be pinched out of water, and a pair of peach blossom eyes, which can really hook the soul. ”

Dong'er desperately gave Ling'er a look next to her, but Ling'er's mouth was like a jumping bean, and she finished crackling after a while.

After finishing speaking, Dong'er pulled Ling'er to kneel: "Little master, please forgive Ling'er for being ignorant, slaves and maids can't talk about the concubine, please punish the little master." ”

Ling'er was also frightened by Dong'er's words: "Please punish the little master, Ling'er didn't mean it... begged the little master to spare the slave and maid. ”

I pulled the two of them up: "Don't think I'm a man-eating tiger, kneeling and kneeling at every turn." Since you have followed me, I believe in you. There are only three of us here, so it's okay to whisper. But what Dong'er said is also right, if you are outside, you are not allowed to chew the root of your tongue. ”

After a while, Mama Bai returned. Also brought a couple of wooden teacups, a line, and a few other things. Since it was time for lunch, my grandmother served me for lunch first, so that I could take a break and continue my studies in the afternoon.

It wasn't until the afternoon that I realized the use of the teacups and thread that my grandmother had brought. The thread is used to straighten it and lay it on the ground. It is required to walk without squinting, but to walk on the line with every step. The teacup, on the other hand, is placed on the top of the head and on the shoulder. To ensure that the body is as stable as Mount Tai, do not shake slowly, if it shakes, the cup will fall, you will be punished.

Because I was never going to be allowed to enter the palace, I never had such training. I tried to keep my balance and not shake, but the teacup still fell off many times. Mama Bai looked at my embarrassed appearance, her eyes were still dark, and she shook her head.

Until dinner and the grandmothers were called back for the day, I still hadn't practiced well. I secretly made up my mind that I would practice hard tonight so that I wouldn't be so embarrassed tomorrow.

In the evening, I still practiced again and again in the room with a wooden teacup. I gave Ling'er and Dong'er a vacation and let them rest, so as not to watch me make a fool of myself here. Stepping on the line on the ground, step by step, I want to make myself walk more and more smoothly.

In the middle of the night, I was a little tired, so I blew out the lights in the room, and was about to call Ling'er Dong'er to serve me to bed, but I heard the sound of "squeak-" opening the door. I quietly looked out through the crack in the door, and saw the door of the noble man's room open gently, and a figure in dark clothes quietly walked out, covered the door, looked left and right, and went like an apse.

The apse... Isn't it just Lin Yu and Li Xuan, what are you doing in the apse? Should I go up and take a look?
