Chapter 145: Entering the Palace (1)
"You go and tell Miss SΓΉ three about all these things, and let her handle it herself." After Liu Ke said this, he ordered Yuye to find "Internal Training" and not talk about Liu Zhen.
Liu Qing glanced at her, lowered her head again, and looked a little lonely.
She dared to turn around and go out, only to hear Liu Ke say leisurely behind her: "If she can't deal with Aunt Jiang and the like, how can she gain a foothold when she really goes out of the pavilion and marries into the Qi family?" Besides, she still has such a reputation, which will make people grasp the handle. β
Liu Qing turned around and saluted Liu Ke and said, "Yes, what the eldest lady said is reasonable, and the slave will tell the third lady these words." β
Liu Ke nodded: "Go ahead." β
"Miss, let's eat something first!" Yuye personally brought a tray, brought the breakfast prepared in the kitchen to Liu Ke, turned around and said to Liu Wan: "I heard that the second lady said that she had eaten, so the slave maid asked the kitchen to prepare fruit for the second lady, and the slave maid will serve it to you in a while." β
Liu Wan smiled and said, "Good girl, I bothered you, why is my sister later than my meal today?" I didn't expect my sister to have breakfast yet, otherwise she would have come over a little late. β
Liu Ke said indifferently: "It's okay, if you still want to eat, you can eat more with me." I can't eat that much myself anyway. β
Liu Wan looked at Liu Ke's food, which was quite rich, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Forget it, I'll go and see "Internal Training", otherwise if Mama Song really asks, if I don't know, it will really be exposed." β
After Liu Ke had breakfast, he began to copy "Internal Training" with Liu Wan.
In the afternoon, Mama Song still came on time and watched the "Internal Training" they copied. didn't say anything, checked their faces again, and said that it was much better than yesterday.
In this way, for more than ten days, he simply learned the etiquette of sitting, standing, walking, and saluting, and first coped with the birthday of the Queen Mother.
The day before the Queen Mother's birthday. Mama Song did not give them etiquette, but told them a lot of things in the palace.
These days, although Mama Song is very strict with them, she does not mention yì to embarrass them, and Liu Ke and Liu Yan have a good understanding of this. Sometimes if they learn slowly, or when Liu Wan deliberately mischievous, Mama Song's anxiety is also sincere.
Even Liu Ke was a little skeptical that something was wrong in the previous life, how could such a person assassinate her. Did she recognize the wrong person at the time?
Mama Song, who was talking about how many concubines there were in the harem, saw that Liu Ke seemed to be a little distracted, stopped explaining, glanced at Liu Ke, took a sip of the gaiwan tea at hand, and said, "Miss Liu, there are several concubines in the palace now, what kind of background and temperament do they have. If you meet them by chance, what are the taboos? β
Liu Ke was stunned for a moment, and immediately gave Mama Song a sincere salute and said, "Mama punish Liu Ke." Liu Ke was distracted just now, and he didn't listen to his grandmother properly. β
Mama Song took a deep breath and said, "You can be distracted by other things, but you can't be distracted by this," after she said this, she continued: "Now I am by the emperor's side, except for the queen." There are also five concubines, namely the imperial concubine Xiao, that is, the mother of the eldest princess Rongshan, the virtuous concubine Wang, the Hua concubine Shi, the Shufei Ji family, and the Defei Han family.
In addition, the emperor also has Zhaoyi by his side. Zhao Yuan, Zhao Rong. Shuyi, Shuyuan, Shurong each one, Jieyu two, Ronghua four, eight talents, you don't have to remember all these people, just remember not to be too clever in front of the imperial concubine, try to be as low-key as possible, and it is best to be a little dull. β
Liu Wan was a little puzzled and said: "Why is this, aren't the nobles in the palace all like beautiful and clever girls?" β
She suddenly interjected, but Mama Song didn't reprimand her, just glared at her.
Liu Wan realized that he was wrong, and immediately closed his mouth and listened quietly.
"You don't have to know the reason, just do what I say, and it won't hurt you." Mama Song paused when she said this, and then said: "In addition to the five concubines, the little masters who are more favored now are Zhaorong Yao's family, Jieyu Wu's family, the talented Su family, and the talented Xu family. Among these little masters, Zhaorong Yao's temper is not easy to figure out, moody, if you encounter it, you have to be more careful, and the rest is fine. β
After Mama Song finished speaking, she looked at the time, it was almost time, and said: "It's late today, I'll tell the two young ladies these things first, tomorrow is the time to test how well you have learned these days, I hope my hard work has not been in vain these days." β
She stood up.
Liu Ke and Liu Wan also hurriedly stood up, saluted Mama Song, and said in unison: "Thank you Mama for your teachings." β
After Mama Song left, the Shi family sent someone to urge them to hurry up and rest.
I'm afraid that if they burn their eyes, they won't be able to see anyone tomorrow.
The next day, before it was too late, Shi sent someone to drag Liu Ke out of the quilt and press it in front of the dresser.
It was Yuxiang who came to groom her!
Since the last incident, Yuxiang has returned to Shi's side in a daze, and has not come to Liu Ke's side to serve.
Liu Ke also didn't ask about the reason for Yuxiang's departure.
After that, Shi said that Yuxiang was unstable, and he would give it to her when he picked a good one.
At that time, Liu Ke was trying to get Yuxiang away from him, although he felt that this matter was a little strange, but he didn't say anything, so he nodded and agreed.
What does it mean that the Shi family has sent Yuxiang over now, and they won't let her accompany them into the palace, right?
Liu Ke thought so, looked at Yuxiang from the mirror and said, "Sister Yuxiang also followed into the palace today?" β
After hearing this, Yuxiang's hand that held Liu Ke's hair in a bun paused slightly and smiled: "The slave and maid obey the old lady's orders, if the old lady is willing to take the slave and maid to the palace to see it, the slave and maid will naturally be grateful to Dade, if there is no need for the slave and maid to serve, the slave and maid will do their duty at home." β
As she spoke, she picked up a mutton fat white hosta and inserted it on Liu Ke's head.
The corners of Liu Ke's mouth curled and he didn't say anything more.
I have to admit that Yuxiang is really good at dressing up people, and after a few clicks, she gave Liu Ke a fashionable Feixian bun, which was decorated with two light green cicada gauze palace flowers, and the two strands of hair on both sideburns hung down naturally, Yuxiang picked a light pink drop-shaped earring for Liu Ke, with a mattress shirt embroidered with malt yellow peony and a green smoke and water flower skirt. It becomes more and more that Liu Ke's eyebrows are like distant mountains, his eyes are like the bright moon, he breathes out the orchid, and he looks forward to the brilliance.
Yuxiang looked at Liu Ke in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the old lady values Miss DΓ so much, with the appearance of the eldest lady, she is not much worse than the princess in the palace." β
Everyone has a love for beauty, Liu Ke has always known that his appearance is outstanding, and he saw himself in the mirror. I still can't help but sigh a little: "Since ancient times, the appearance has been outstanding, which may not be a good thing." β
"Bah, the eldest lady doesn't dare to say that, she got up early in the morning, and today is still a happy day. How can such an unlucky thing be said. Liu Qing, who was standing behind Yuxiang, couldn't help frowning after listening to Liu Ke's words.
Yuxiang also hurriedly said: "What are you talking about, you are the eldest lady of the Liu family, how can you have a thin life, if you have a thin life." So how can the slaves and maids live? β
Liu Ke turned around and smiled: "I just felt it, you don't have to take it seriously." β
"Miss, if you want to take that sister into Beijing, then take you to the old lady for dinner." Yuxiang said to Liu Ke.
Liu Ke looked at Liu Qing and then at Yuye.
This time in Beijing is undoubtedly a good opportunity for them to exercise, but since it is stipulated that only one person can be brought into the palace, Liu Ke has no choice.
Yuye and Liu Qing both wanted to go to the palace and gradually become more popular, and they were waiting for Liu Ke to speak. There is no indication that you will not go.
Liu Ke thought for a while, walked up to Yuye and said, "You are very clever and smart. You are young, I will take you there again when I have a chance in the future, your sister Liu Qing is now sixteen, and she may be out of the house in a few years, I am afraid that there is no such opportunity, I will take her this time. I'll take you there next time I have a chance. As he spoke, he reached out and touched her head.
Yuye saw Liu Ke walking towards her at first, and she was happy to talk. After listening to Liu Ke's words, although I regretted it. But I am full of gratitude to Liu Ke.
Knowing that Liu Ke said this to her because she valued her, she was not a person who didn't know how to lift, so she hurriedly saluted and said: "Where does the eldest lady say, these truths of the slave and maid province, the eldest lady just takes Sister Liu Qing there." β
Liu Qing didn't expect Liu Ke to take him into the palace, his face was full of surprise, and he saluted and thanked him after a while: "Thank you for your love." β
Liu Ke glanced at her sideways and didn't reply, but said to Yuxiang: "If it's already done for me, let's call the second lady to the old lady." β
As she was talking, Liu Wan had already come in from outside.
"Sister-" As soon as she entered the door and saw Liu Ke, before she finished her words, she pulled Liu Ke and said with a surprised face: "Sister, you are good today~~~ beautiful!" I thought that Sister Yulan was good enough to dress up, but I didn't expect Sister Yuxiang to be powerful, of course, the main thing is that my sister is good-looking. β
"It's so exaggerated, okay, let's go." Liu Ke felt a little uncomfortable at this time.
She saw that Liu Wan was wearing a crimson dress, and her head was red gold and jade, although she was full of luxury, but it was inevitable that she would fall into vulgarity.
She now knows why the Shi family took her and Liu Wan into the palace together, but she just let Liu Wan be her foil.
In Liu Ke's heart, Liu Wan is the most precious person in the world, and no one can hurt her in any way or do anything harmful to her.
So today's events made her extremely uncomfortable.
Originally, she planned to hide as much as possible in the palace today, so that she could be low to the dust, and it was best that everyone didn't notice her.
But looking at the situation, she can't do that.
When they arrived at Shi's main room, after seeing the two of them, Shi was obviously very satisfied, "Okay, you guys have a quick meal, and after eating, we will leave quickly." β
There is no porridge for breakfast today, only pasta and a few light side dishes, which is different from the usual breakfast of Liu Ke and Liu Wan.
"Uncle and grandmother, do you usually eat so lightly?" Liu Wan said while eating.
Shi Shi glanced at her and said, "Didn't Mama Song teach you to eat and sleep silently?" β
Liu Wan stuck out his tongue and didn't speak, just lowered his head to eat.
As soon as Liu Ke saw it, he knew the reason, but he was silent.
After eating, they boarded the car and set off, and as soon as they entered the palace gate, they met the person Shi didn't want to see the most.
Liu Ke was even more shocked when he saw it! (To be continued)
