learned from Mama Qin about the past relationship between Gu Qingyun and Qin Feng, and Xie Ning finally understood the reason why Gu Qingyun did not shy away from it. Qin Feng's cough was caused by her, and the self-blame in her heart can be imagined.

"Since then, King An has been ill, except for necessary occasions, he will not go out, and only in the past two years, after his condition gradually improved, he showed up a few more times, but he still does not like to socialize, throughout the capital, only Xiao Yan, this kid and Gu Yatou have some friendship with him."

Qin Feng did have a good relationship with Xiao Yan. Listening to Mama Qin's words, Xie Ning couldn't help but think of Gu Qingyun's words yesterday and nodded.

"That's why Mama Qin's voice paused, and she glanced at Xie Ning meaningfully, "There are gradually rumors in Beijing that this girl from the Gu family will be pointed out to King An in the future and be Princess An." ”

Whether it is identity or appearance, Gu Qingyun and Qin Feng can be called right. Xie Ning smiled, then helped Mama Qin to the seat, and said bluntly: "Brother Ziyue and Miss Gu are indeed a good match, and this rumor is not unfounded. ”

"Yes," Mama Qin's eyes flashed, and after a sigh of emotion, she leaned back in the chair, and a pair of sharp eyes were closed, looking extremely tired.

"I asked Mrs. Hou, there has been no entertainment in the house these days. From tomorrow onwards, you will learn some rules from me. Rest early tonight. ”

Seeing this, Xie Ning responded, "Okay." Then he stepped back lightly, but with a smile on his face that could not be concealed. Until I lay in bed, I couldn't sleep with some anticipation.

She knows the gap between herself and others, and now that she has the opportunity to learn again, Shainin doesn't know how happy she is. She is not afraid that Mama Qin will treat her harshly, but she is afraid that she will not learn well and be looked down upon again.

Unexpectedly, although she figured it out, when it came to tomorrow, she still retreated.

On a sunny summer day, the breeze is light, sending a burst of coolness, the Hou Mansion is full of lush flowers and leaves, and from time to time there is the sound of a little girl playing and playing in the ears, which makes people itch to listen.

On such days, you can't go out to play, and you should walk a few laps in the yard to move your muscles and bones. Why did you lock her up in her room and practice the rules?

Don't blame Xie Ning for resentment, she is actually an active person, but she was detained in the room by Mama Qin for a whole day, and she practiced something she couldn't dream of - standing.

Since she was a child, Xie Ning is still very confident in her standing posture, and she can even hold a horse step for a few hours, and simple standing is just a piece of cake for her.

It's not that she doesn't want to learn the rules, but it's really unnecessary, so why should Mama Qin waste time on this matter? Xie Ning stood motionless in the hall, but he couldn't help but get irritable in his heart.

As if seeing Xie Ning's thoughts, Mama Qin smiled slightly, took a bowl from the high table on the side, and suddenly put it on Xie Ning's head.

His head sank suddenly, even though he was aware of the other party's movements in advance, Xie Ning was also shocked by this sudden weight, and subconsciously reached out to support the bowl filled with water on his head.

"Smack!" With a crisp sound, Xie Ning's left hand was whipped by the bamboo strip. She didn't hide, and there was no pain in her hands. But when he met Mama Qin's sharp eyes again, Xie Ning didn't know why his heart became empty.

"Your size is taller than that of ordinary women, and there is no bad problem of hunched back and shrunken shoulders on weekdays, and your standing posture is barely passable, but if you can't calm down, even if you stand for a few more days, you won't make any progress." Mama Qin said coldly.

Xie Ning put the bronze bowl back on his head in a daze, and reflected on it with his eyes and nose.

"Raise your right shoulder down a little," Mama Qin's voice came from behind her, "the water is uneven." ”

The water in this bowl also has this effect. Shainin obediently lowered his shoulders, readjusted his posture, and stood in place without moving.

"Don't look down."

"Softer eyes."

"Look down a little."

Mama Qin is indeed powerful. As long as Xie Ning is a little slack, she will be immediately pointed out, under her strict teaching, but after a day's work, although Xie Ning's standing posture is still a little flawed, a heart has really entered, no matter whether Mama Qin is standing in front of her or standing on the embroidery pier behind her, Xie Ning can stay standing calmly. The occasional noise outside couldn't touch her mind.

At sunset, after the dinner in the small courtyard was ready, Mama Qin signaled to Xie Ning and said, "I'll be here today, come and eat." ”

With this permission, Xie Ning took off the copper bowl on his head, pinched his sour neck, and walked to the table with the support of Gu Sui and Xiaoyue.

I really don't know if I don't practice, it turns out that such a simple standing posture has so much attention. After dinner, with the acquiescence of Mama Qin with one eye open and one eye closed, Xie Ning, who was numb and sore, lay down directly on the bed.

"Miss, do you want a slave to help you get a massage?" Although he was entrusted by Qin Feng to take care of Xie Ning, Mingshuang did not put on a posture to treat the guests. Inevitably, under Mingshuang's initiative, Xie Ning no longer called her sister, but directly called her by her name.

"No need," Xie Ning was shaking his head, looking at Mingshuang, who was in a slim posture, and suddenly his heart moved, so he asked curiously: "If it weren't for Mama Qin's teaching, I wouldn't have known that this rule was so difficult to learn." Mingshuang, when you first learned the rules, did you suffer a lot? ”

Mingshuang replied: "At that time, the slave and maid were still young, and it was indeed a little difficult. However, Miss, you have learned the rules of a noble girl in Beijing, so it is naturally much more complicated, and Mama Qin's attitude will be stricter. ”

"It's not easy to be a noble girl." Xie Ning sighed sympathetically, forgetting that she was also learning the rules of the noble girl now.

"Exactly," Mingshuang smiled even deeper, turned and took out a small silver box from the cabinet, and walked towards the incense burner on the table.

A moment later, a sweet and long aroma filled the bedroom. Xie Ning sniffed and looked at Mingshuang, "What kind of fragrance is this?" ”

Mingshuang was putting the silver box back in its place, and turned around and said, "This is the 'clear dream' brought by the slave maid from the palace, which is known to have miraculous effects as a repellent of insects and sleep. After entering the summer, the prince has been using this incense. The young lady is tired all day, and the slave maid thinks that it is most appropriate to light this incense. ”

"Or are you thoughtful," smelling the sweet fragrance that came to his nose, Xie Ning couldn't help but wonder: "Why does Your Highness keep lighting this incense on weekdays?" ”

Not wanting Xie Ning to ask this, Mingshuang turned around in confusion and replied puzzledly: "Yes." ”

How? The fragrance of this dream is very different from the cold fragrance that Qin Feng gets when he touches it.
