Feng Lingxuan teased the little ball lying on his lap while staring lazily at Hei Feng.

"The prince is secretly asking someone to inquire about Qiao Xiaoqiao's life experience! You have to keep an eye on it, and if you really find a useful clue, report it to the king as soon as possible! ”

After speaking, he scraped the little nose of the ball with his fingers and smiled evilly, "This kind of good thing can't be cheap, His Royal Highness the Prince!" Little dumplings! You say, don't you? ”

"Don't worry, the prince!"

When Black Wind turned around to leave, he suddenly remembered another thing!

"Lord Wang! The Ikhanate sent a secret envoy to ask, has the prince already thought through that matter? ”

Feng Lingxuan frowned slightly, "Tell them that this king has no interest in that matter at all!" ”

"Subordinates understood!"

Seeing that Hei Feng turned around and went out, Feng Lingxuan stopped him again, "If you don't slow down again, tell them first, this king still needs to weigh and weigh that matter!" ”

"My subordinates know!"

Since the last time he met the emperor, Qiao Xiaoqiao has obediently stayed in the National Teacher's Mansion for the past two days, and has never stepped out of the mansion for half a step.

That time she could choke Ruyi enough, and afterwards she complained about Qiao Xiaoqiao!

Qiao Xiaoqiao also felt that he was a little reckless, after careful calculation, it has been a month since he traveled to this Yan country, think about all the bad things that have happened in these days, which one is not caused by his willfulness and recklessness? If you keep doing this without restraint, you will not only kill yourself, but also affect the people around you!

Study steadily, and then talk about the maid after choosing.

Jiang Li entrusted Aunt Mo Yin, a female official who usually manages etiquette in the palace, to help guide Qiao Xiaoqiao in some etiquette in the palace.

This Mo Yin entered the palace at the age of thirteen, became an etiquette instructor at the age of twenty, and is now thirty-two years old, but he is still single.

Etiquette instructor is a very important position in the palace! The new palace maids, whether they are palace maids or royal ladies, must first come to Moyin to report! After some training by Mo Yin, he can only take up his post after he is qualified.

It is said that this Moyin has an extremely strange temperament! It's also very strict with people.

Although Jiang Li had already been vaccinated in advance, when Qiao Xiaoqiao saw Mo Yin on the first day, he still had a deep understanding of what it means to be "obedient!" ”

Early in the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Ruyi led Qiao Xiaoqiao to the gate of the Teaching Palace, and after some advice, Ruyi returned to the National Teacher's Mansion.

Qiao Xiaoqiao stood at the door and observed the environment of the Teaching Palace, which was cold and lifeless.

Qiao Xiaoqiao pulled up the knocker on the door and lightly buckled it twice.

?? There was no movement inside.

"Did you come too early? Aunt Moyin hasn't gone to work yet! ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao thought as she stretched out her hand and pushed open the door, and the moment the door opened, she was taken aback!

I thought that there should be a courtyard behind this gate, and then there was a room or something, but I didn't expect that behind this gate was a spacious lobby.

The lobby was spotlessly cleaned, and a long table was set up in the middle, and at the back of the long table sat a woman, who was holding a pen in her left hand, and was concentrating on writing something on the bamboo slips.

Qiao Xiaoqiao "sighed" in her heart, she has seen a lot of women when she is so big! But it's the first time I've seen someone with such a temperament as in front of me.

I saw that the woman was dressed in a moon-white gown, with her long hair tied up on the top of her head, a bit like the popular ball head, with a fair and delicate face! A pair of slender phoenix eyes under Dai's eyebrows, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, a small nose, slightly pursed lips, and a snow-white neck is straight.

The woman's eyes never left the bamboo slip on the table, and the hand holding the pen never stopped, as if Qiao Xiaoqiao didn't exist at all.

Is this Aunt Moyin? Didn't you say you're thirty-two years old? But the woman in front of her looks like she is in her twenties at most! Especially the demeanor and temperament, it is simply so beautiful that it does not eat the fireworks of the world!

Qiao Xiaoqiao cleared her throat and asked cautiously, "May I ask if you are Aunt Moyin?" ”

"That one?" The woman still didn't raise her eyes, only asked lightly.

"Oh! I'm Joe Joe! I'm here to learn palace etiquette from Aunt Moyin! Is she there? ”

"Get out! On your knees! The woman said again, in a small but powerful voice.

Qiao Xiaoqiao paused for a moment, she was still a little dazed, and she didn't quite understand, "Get out!" On your knees! What does that mean.

Seeing Qiao Xiaoqiao standing in place and not moving, the woman couldn't help frowning slightly, then gently rested the pen in her hand on the inkstone and slowly raised her head.

That action, every move is very elegant!

"I'm Moyin! I'll let you out on your knees! Don't you understand? ”

The voice was not angry.

Joe Xiaojo is even more nervous! "Me! I! I'm here to learn etiquette! I、、I don't quite understand、、"

"Get out! On your knees! That's etiquette! Do you need me to say it again? ”

Mo Yin was a little angry.

Qiao Xiaoqiao didn't dare to argue anymore, so she had to obediently exit the door and kneel under the steps.

Although the snow on the ground has been cleared, the temperature in the tenth winter wax moon is still frighteningly low, and after just kneeling for a while, my knees have already been frozen! Qiao Xiaoqiao was very aggrieved, but she just couldn't hold back a tear.

Strange to say! This Mo Yin was so tricky and obedient when they first met, Qiao Xiaoqiao actually resented her at all in her heart.

After about a cup of tea, Qiao Xiaoqiao heard footsteps coming from behind, and before she could turn around, she heard a string of gloating "giggles" behind her.

Zhao Lingxin leaned over and stared at Qiao Xiaoqiao and mocked.

"Roar! Isn't this the unbeatable demon Qiao Xiaoqiao! I heard that you are also going to participate in the selection of maids? Why are you kneeling at the door of Lord Moyin? Isn't it too rude, being kicked out by Lord Moyin, and still dying? You! I really don't have any self-knowledge! Do you still want to choose a maid for your virtue? Dare to come and ask Lord Moyin for advice? If you want me to say it! Hurry up and leave! The farther you go, the better! Don't be embarrassed in this palace!

”

Qiao Xiaoqiao shivered coldly, and she really didn't bother to take care of Zhao Lingxin.

"Who's making noise outside the house?"

Mo Yin asked in the room.

"Lord Moin! It's me! Zhao Lingxin! ”

Zhao Lingxin twisted her waist and walked up the steps.

For a while, Qiao Xiaoqiao felt that he couldn't hold on anymore, the injuries on his body were not completely healed, and his body was still weak.

But in order to be able to continue to live with a legal identity in this strange world, she can only grit her teeth and insist.

There was some movement in the teaching palace, and suddenly a tea bowl flew out of the open door with a "whoosh", crossed Qiao Xiaoqiao's shoulder, and smashed on the hard and cold ground behind him.

"Get out!"

Mo Yin shouted.

Zhao Lingxin retreated in a gray manner, and knelt down next to Qiao Xiaoqiao very reluctantly.

Qiao Xiaoqiao tugged at the corners of her frozen mouth, "Miss Zhao is nothing more than that!" I thought the eldest lady of the Taiwei Mansion would be different! I didn't expect it to be blasted out the same! ”

Zhao Lingxin's face was flushed.

"Enchantress! You don't gloat here! If one day Miss Japan becomes the crown princess! Look how I'm going to clean you up one by one! ”

After speaking, he glared fiercely at the gate of the Teaching Palace.

Looking at Zhao Lingxin kneeling on the side, Qiao Xiaoqiao's heart was much more comfortable, she kept praying in her heart, praying that Mo Yin could let her in quickly, she felt that she had reached the limit.

However, the gates of the Palace of Teaching and Training were always tightly closed.

Qiao Xiaoqiao didn't know that outside the low wall behind her, two figures were watching her from afar.

Ruyi cried, "National teacher! Little Joe has been kneeling outside the door for almost an hour! How can you eat it if it goes on like this! This Moyin-sama is really! ”

Jiang Li stroked his long beard, "Don't worry!" Don't worry! There are some things she has to go through sooner or later! The dangers ahead are far more terrifying! It is necessary to hone and hone. ”

Just when Qiao Xiaoqiao was about to pass out, the door of the Teaching Palace finally opened.

Mo Yin said coldly: "Come in!" ”

"Do you know what you're doing wrong?"

Qiao Xiaoqiao shook her head blankly.

Mo Yin looked serious, "As a maid, she is mainly a waiter, and when she arrives at the master's door, she must first knock on the door and ask for instructions, and only if the master agrees to enter!" No trespassing! Got it? This is one of them! ”

"Second: As a maid, after entering the door, you will kneel down first and then ask for peace, and then you will report to your home! When introducing yourself, you can't use the word "I", but call yourself a slave! Remember? ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao suddenly realized! It turns out that there are so many rules in the palace! It seems that being a maid is not an easy task!

"Got it! Remember! Oh no! The slave knows! Slave and maid remember! ”

"You've got a bit of a brain!"

Next, Mo Yin held a wooden stick in his hand and instructed Qiao Xiaoqiao and Zhao Lingxin on some etiquette in dealing with people.

If the two of them don't do well, they will be severely beaten by the wooden strip in Mo Yin's hand!

"Don't hold your head too high!"

"Keep your back straight!"

"Don't look at your eyes!"

"Don't twist your ass when you walk!"

"Keep your steps small! Don't go too fast! ”

In short, at the end of the day, Qiao Xiaoqiao was almost paralyzed! The back of her neck, the backs of her hands, her buttocks, and her ankles, I don't know how many times she was hit by Moyin's small wooden bar, but she gritted her teeth and survived.

Zhao Lingxin is no better! The back of her hand was swollen and swollen, the eldest lady who has always been pampered, where has she been wronged like this! As soon as he returned to his residence, he cried and shouted to his mother, shouting, "One day, I must return the torture I received in Moyin, and double it!" ”

Jiang Li and Ruyi are ready, with Qiao Xiaoqiao's character, they will definitely complain and complain as soon as they enter the door!

What made the two strange was Joe, but Xiao Qiao came back unusually calm, and said vigorously that this time the maid must fight for herself!

Ruyi muttered in a low voice, "What method did this Lord Moyin use?" In just one day, Xiao Qiao seems to have changed as a different person! ”

Jiang Li smiled slightly, "It means that Xiao Qiao has suddenly grown up!" Sensible! So much better! That's great! ”

"Ruyi! You go to rest first! I still have something to say to Little Joe! ”

Ruyi nodded, "Hmm! You also enlighten Little Joe! Don't be too burdened! Don't get tired anymore! ”

After Ruyi went out, Jiang Li pulled Qiao Xiaoqiao to the table.

He motioned for Joe Xiaojo to sit down, then took something out of his bosom and handed it to her.

"Remember this?"

"Remember! It's that weird bronze mirror you showed me when I first got here! ”

"Exactly! If you take a good look at it now, can you read all the words on it? ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao has learned a lot of ancient Chinese for a while, and she picked up the bronze mirror and stumbled to read it!

"Soul! Soul!

Return!

The heart of the king is presented in the moon!

Eclipse! Eclipse!

Return!

Elysium! ”

"But I still don't understand what those words mean?"

Jiang Li smiled, "It can be said that this bronze mirror is our hope!" ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao was puzzled, "Hope? What hope? ”

"That's exactly what I'm going to tell you next!"

"Do you know why Jiang Li was carrying a bronze mirror when he died?"

Qiao Xiaoqiao shook his head blankly.

"Actually, Jiang Li back then was not really dead, but wanted to use the bronze mirror to pass through!"

Qiao Xiaoqiao's mouth opened wide in shock!

"It's just that they don't know it's called crossing, they call it rebirth! The ancients thought! The so-called immortality means that life ends in this life and begins again in another world! Repeatedly, immortal and immortal! So they went around collecting important clues about rebirth, and then experimented again and again, until one day they created this bronze mirror! Of course, it is impossible to achieve the purpose of rebirth with a bronze mirror alone! There are other necessary conditions! ”

"On what terms?"

These conditions are hidden between the lines! You're taking a closer look! ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao grabbed the bronze mirror and looked at it carefully.

"Lunar eclipse! The other condition you said is the eclipse of the moon, right? In other words, as long as you use this bronze mirror on the night of the lunar eclipse, you can make people pass through, right? ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao's excited eyes lit up!

"That's it! As long as the conditions are ripe, it is possible for us to travel back into the future, right? ”

"Huh! Theoretically, there is still one piece of information in this bronze mirror that you haven't deciphered yet! At present, in addition to these two conditions, there is still one short? I've been researching it for 20 years, and I still don't have any eyebrows! ”

"Two more? What exactly is the condition that you just said that you have not yet seen? ”

"Remember when I told you why we were on this archaeological mission? That's because the local villagers found that Jiang Li's tomb would emit a fragrance that could make people hallucinate! The third condition is this mysterious aroma! Although it is not yet known what it is? But one day we'll find it! ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao silently shed two lines of tears, this secret is really a surprise! She thought that she could not go back again, she was already desperate, but now she had a glimmer of hope!

"I didn't want to tell you this so early! I'm afraid that if I can't find the third condition! Another empty wish that cannot be fulfilled for you! But I think you should have known about it earlier! The strength of two people is always much greater than that of one person! I'm also getting older, and some things are beyond my power! That's why I've been insisting on keeping you with me and staying in the palace! So you must work hard, only when you choose a maid, can you stay in the palace justifiably, and only when you stay in the palace can you do some things without being suspected!. ”

"Don't worry! I'm going to do my best this time! ”

??β€œ There is another hidden condition in this mirror you just said! What exactly is that? ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao read the words on the bronze mirror several times again.

Reading and reading, my face changed greatly! Even my voice trembled a little!

"The heart of a king is presented in the moon! The heart of the king is presented in the moon! Could it be that the second condition is 、、、?" she covered her mouth and did not dare to continue.

Jiang Li nodded!
