85. Learn the palace rituals

If you have to enter the palace and wait before the hour, won't you have to get up at three or four o'clock in the middle of the night to prepare? Ylan rolled her eyes.

"A woman should have a calm complexion, a dignified demeanor, and a moderate pace of speech." Mama Luo still said slowly with a blank face.

Obviously, when he saw the small action of rolling his eyes just now, he said so, Yilan's face turned red, and he quickly controlled his expression and sat upright......

"When you see a nobleman in the palace, you should call yourself a slave and maid, and kneel down to salute, and ask the girl to change her clothes and makeup first, and then follow the slave and maid to learn the essentials of walking and kneeling." He said two more words, such as smiling without showing his teeth and not looking back, and then asked to follow the practice.

I thought that I had sent the two of them away at will, and when I was free in the afternoon, I could go and see if the eagles had come back, but now seeing that this battle would not end until the evening, Yilan was very resentful. But the two grandmothers had a straight face, and they didn't look good at talking, and Yilan didn't dare to say anything, so she could only obey.

The other three girls came over with clothes and shoes, and several people began to change clothes and makeup for Yilan.

I thought that the palace dress would be more troublesome, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome, the inner and outer clothes, layer after layer. Underwear, cotton pants, skirts, especially cotton pants, and really the legendary open crotch pants, caused Ylan to snort and laugh.

The two grandmothers glared at Yilan fiercely.

Comb your hair and apply makeup. I don't know how Lu Dao was combed, how many things were forked on the head, and when he tied the collar buckle with a high stand-up collar after the most Lu Dao, Yilan's only feeling was that his head was so heavy. I can't look back because I can't turn my head at all; Smile without showing teeth, dress like this, who can still laugh.

The clothes were tightly tied, and the 10-centimeter-high platform shoes made it difficult to even stand up.

The woman's grace is dignified, what a price to pay.

Holding Lichun's hand and walking slowly for a few steps, Mama Luo's eyes flashed with disdain.

"The next thing is to learn how to say goodbye, and ask the girl to follow the old slave." Mama Chang led the way in front, and Mama Luo watched from the side.

She knelt down lightly against the wall, and said, "The slave has seen the master." ”

"Wait." Yilan stood there without moving, "I don't want to call myself a slave, can I call myself a different one?" ”

"What did you say?" Mama Luo's eyes flashed with anger, "All women must call themselves slaves when they see the master, this is a rule and cannot be changed." The tone was very stern, "Unless it is a lady of rank, except for the emperor and queen, you can not kneel and prostrate, and call yourself a concubine." ”

"Very good." Yilan curled the corners of his mouth, "The emperor gave me a general's robe, and the queen mother has already passed away for many years, which means that I don't have to bow down to anyone in the harem." Just say how to say goodbye. ”

It's been tossing for two hours, and he hasn't even drunk saliva, and he is very particular about sitting and standing, as if he had lived a savage life for decades in his previous life, and Yilan was already tired and a little angry. I also wanted to ask to practice kneeling and kowtowing, that insulting action, and Yilan was no longer willing to cooperate.

"Presumptuous, with the girl's background, it is already a great reward to be able to go and see all the ladies in the palace, how can you be so rebellious." Mama Luo was really on fire and raised her hand high. Unexpectedly, Yilan was not afraid, staring at her closely, and Mama Chang next to her was even more anxious to cough and remind, but finally did not fight.

"Mama is serving in Jinhua Palace." Yilan didn't look at her, only said lightly.

"Yes." She naturally responded, and her face turned red in a blink of an eye, "The slave maid was appointed by the Ministry of Rites to teach the girl etiquette, and the girl's attitude is like this, does the girl have no intention of entering the palace to ask for peace?" She said hatefully.

The main seat of Jinhua Palace is now the highest grade in the palace Yi Guifei Niangniang Qian lived, she is the drop daughter of Xiangguo Qian, has been in the palace for more than 20 years, but has not been supported as the queen. In principle, the sixth prince and the seventh prince have been raised under her name for a few years, but the age difference between them is not too big, so the so-called support is mostly nominal, but in fact there is not much affection. However, she is very willing to meddle in the marriage of the princes, the third master's side concubine is her cousin's niece, and she is bent on marrying her brother's daughter to Hua Wulin as his wife, and the seventh master's side concubine is also a big relative to her. Now that she can't wait to send her personal grandmother here to inspect, you can see how much she cares about Hua Wulone's marriage.

"Mama doesn't have to worry, go on." ”

After all, if you live in this era, you have to abide by the etiquette requirements of this era, how to bow is just a formality, and dignity depends on your own behavior, and it does not only depend on a certain action, Yilan silently persuaded herself, or followed them to learn to bow a few times, but it was not so serious. Next, how to say hello and how to ask questions.

It was all dark, and Yilan felt that the sore waist and legs were no longer her own, and she was much more tired than riding a horse for a day, but they didn't seem to be satisfied with their movements, and even the four little girls shook their heads on the side.

"Okay, okay, don't practice, you write down the relationship names that need me to remember, and I'll memorize them at night." Getting up from the ground with difficulty, Yilan shook her hands and shook her head, her face full of pain.

"Write it down? A woman's lack of talent is virtue, and for a woman, the important thing is that the woman is a red needle. Mama Chang said loudly.

"I won't just say it, why bother beating around the bush." Yilan muttered in her heart and rolled her eyes.

"Ylang girl." Seeing that Mama Luo still had something to say, Yilan hurriedly waved her hand and sat down on the chair next to her with difficulty, where did she care about the sitting posture requirements she had just learned.

"Lichun, let Fugui prepare the meal." Yilan instructed Lichun and looked at the two grandmothers, "Two, that's all for today, it's hard work." The palace gate has fallen, if the two of you don't have to go back, just rest in the guest room, if the two of you are inconvenient to stay outside, I will let you take the film of the sixth master to send the two back to the palace. After saying it without doubt, let Liqiu and Lidong help her back to the bedroom to change her clothes.

Leaving two grandmothers looking at each other.

After drinking water and changing into homely clothes, Yilan breathed a sigh of relief. It's been changed, but Hua Wushan hasn't come back yet, Yilan is a little worried, and he specially sent someone to teach these must have some arrangements, and I don't know what arrangements Lu Dao will have tomorrow.

Lixia came in with food, "Is Miss using it here or outside?" ”

"Let's use it outside." Yilan walked out of the room and sat down at the round table, "What about the two of them?" ”

"The two grandmothers didn't have to eat, so they let people go back to the palace." Lichun came in and said.

"Don't be rude, sit down and eat together." Seeing that there was also some food on a low table next to him, Yilan beckoned them to use it together.

It was long past the time for dinner, and they sat down to eat together after they confessed their sins.

"Will they come back tomorrow?" Yilan smiled bitterly, although she didn't want to see them again, but she felt that according to this trend, they would not give up so quickly.

The four of them shook their heads, and they didn't know what to say.

I asked the origin of the four of them, all four of them are the daughters of the housekeepers, their fathers and mothers all serve in the house, and the youngest Lidong is only fourteen years old this year, and he was born in this palace.

It seems that Hua Wushan left the palace alone to be crowned king at a very young age, thinking that Hua Wuxiang should be 16 years old this year, and she has just been married, and she will not move out of the palace to live alone until she finishes her marriage in March.

"You know more about the palace than I do, so you can take good care of me in the future." Ylan made a joke, causing them to purse their lips and sneer.

Not long after eating, Yilan had just sat under the lamp and read a book, when Liqiu came in with hot water, "Miss is tired today, let's settle it early." ”

Hua Wushan hasn't come back yet, where can Yilan sleep, "I only got up in the afternoon today, where can I sleep now, put the water down, you go and rest first." ”

"Okay." She smiled and said yes but didn't walk away, but went to Ylan's shoes and socks to help her burn her feet.

"I usually come by myself, and I don't need to be served." Ylang was a little embarrassed. Usually just her and Lianpeng, it is impossible to let Lianpeng do everything, so everything has to rely on herself.

"Miss still has injuries on her hands, where can I come by myself." She smiled beautifully, gentle and sweet, and without losing the agility of a girl, which made Yilan feel a little ashamed inexplicably.

After removing the makeup and changing into bedclothes, it was already the second watch, and even Lichun came to persuade him.

Alas, the more people who serve, the more rules, it seems that the days of freedom are gone, only one day, Yilan is a little nostalgic for the past. Forget it, thinking that if they don't sleep, they can't rest, and Yilan can only lie on the bed.

The words are divided into two ends, Mama Luo was indeed sent by Concubine Yigui, she just wants to know what kind of woman Lu Dao Yilan is. Now she is actually in charge of the harem, and her father is a powerful minister, and the Qian family can be said to be at its peak. However, politics is always unpredictable, and if you don't pay attention, you can lose everything. Now that the emperor's body is getting worse day by day, of course she has to prepare for the future.

It is possible to inherit the throne of the three older princes, the third master and the seventh master got married very early, and at that time she did not have the right to marry the prince, so the concubine was not her mother's family. However, after several years of deliberate suppression and wooing, their family has a good relationship with Xiangguo. And the side concubines of both of them are her maiden nieces, and the status of the main concubine's maiden family is not high, so it should not be too difficult to control.

And the most likely to inherit the throne is Hua Wushan, who has not yet taken a wife. Although she already has her niece by Hua Wulone's side, this is not enough, she wants her niece to become the princess. In this way, she has a reason to help him ascend to the throne, and then the Qian family becomes the queen and the mother of the world, so she may also become the queen mother and continue to assist her father in controlling the government.

It's a pity that Hua Wulan is very uncooperative, no matter how much he coerces and seduces, he refuses to take his niece, and now there is a Qiu Yilan who came out of nowhere, not only fascinated Hua Wulan, but also won the emperor's favor, which made Yi Guifei feel a great threat.

Either pull it in, or get rid of it.

After looking forward to it for a day, Mama Luo finally came back.
