Two days later, the palace really sent a grandmother to teach etiquette, this grandmother is the queen mother's confidant, the Jiang family naturally did not dare to slack off, and treated each other as a distinguished guest.

The old lady personally entertained the guests, and with a smile, she called Jiang Xiaoyu and the other three to come, and said to Mama Qu: "The granddaughter is dull, I'm afraid that Mama Qu will have to think more about it in the future, but if there is something inappropriate or lazy and slippery, Mama just teach her strictly!" ”

Mama said with a face and a facial expression: "Since the old slave has been instructed by the Queen Mother to teach the three young ladies court etiquette, she will naturally do her duty, please rest assured, please rest assured!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu and the three of them greeted Mama Qu, Mama Qu nodded lightly as a greeting, and her eyes fell on Jiang Xiaoyu's body when she was even colder, she had no children and no daughters, Zhao Ling, as one of the Queen Mother's favorite grandsons, spent a lot of time behind the Queen Mother when she was a teenager, and she was taught by Mama Qu herself, and she regarded the prince as her grandson, but seeing this woman's shriveled and thin appearance, it was even more unbearable than the two flower-like sisters next to her, and when she thought that His Royal Highness the Prince of the Rich and Handsome God wanted to marry such a woman, I didn't fight in one place, I felt worthless for the prince, and I don't know what His Royal Highness the King of Chu thought, so he went to the Queen Mother to ask for this family business.

"The old slave was ordered by the Queen Mother to teach a few young ladies etiquette, the Great Zhou is a state of etiquette, and the etiquette of the royal family is comparable to that of ordinary people, and the old slave will strictly supervise the young ladies in the future, so as not to behave in the future but there are mistakes and fall into laughter!" Mama Qu said with a cold face, she glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu and said, "Especially the eldest lady, as the future princess, her demeanor represents the dignity of the royal family, and she must have both virtue and etiquette, so that she can be a model in the world!" ”

"I want to listen to Mama's teaching!" Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his eyes and said.

Mama Qu is also a real person, and she began to teach etiquette in the afternoon of the same day, from the posture of walking to the etiquette of the sacrificial ceremony.

She held a one-foot-long ring ruler in her hand to supervise, but whenever the three sisters acted inappropriately, they didn't care about the slightest personal feelings, and went directly to the general.

Jiang Yiran and Jiang Youran sisters had a lot of dealings with the county lord of Qiwen when they were young, and they knew a little bit about the etiquette of the clan, and although Jiang Xiaoyu had a master to teach martial arts and internal skills over the years, he was naturally a big man who didn't know the etiquette of his daughter's family, and his progress lagged behind.

"Miss is wrong again!" Mama Qu slapped Jiang Xiaoyu's arm with a cold face, "Come again!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu gritted his teeth, this royal etiquette is too complicated, it is more complicated than learning martial arts by himself, practicing martial arts can still strengthen the body, and can protect himself, what is the use of this set of etiquette? It's just that this Mama Qu represents the Queen Mother after all, and there is no need to offend her now, as long as you swallow the breath in your belly!

Jiang Youran secretly laughed and scolded softly: "What a fool, you can't do such a simple thing!" ”

"Second Miss, the eldest and youngest are orderly, the eldest sister is like a mother, you are contemptuous of the eldest lady, it is disrespectful, take it out!" Mama Qu said coldly.

"This ......" Jiang Youran pouted and reluctantly stretched out his palm.

Mama Qu slapped her palm hard and asked, "Can you remember?" ”

Jiang Youran nodded aggrievedly: "Remember!" ”

Jiang Yiran smiled: "Today's weather is very hot, grandma has taught us for a long time, at this moment it should be a dry mouth, drink saliva, rest and then continue!" ”

"The responsibility of the old slave, I dare not say that I am happy, I hope that the ladies can master all the etiquette as soon as possible, so that the old slave can enter the palace and explain to the old man of the Queen Mother!"

Although he said so, he went to rest under Jiang Yiran's persuasion.

Jiang Youran looked at his reddened palms and scolded: "This dead old woman is really so ruthless!" ”

She saw Jiang Xiaoyu walking past her and sneered: "Isn't the eldest sister very majestic on weekdays? The people in this courtyard are grandmothers and fathers, whoever makes you unhappy, you can beat whoever you want, and today you can't fight back and scold and don't fight back, why is it okay? ”

Jiang Xiaoyu raised his hand and glanced at her coldly: "You also know that I have a fire in my heart, do you want to understand it?" ”

"There's Mama Qu here, you dare!" Jiang Youran said hatefully, "Mama Qu hates people who don't understand the rules the most, if you dare to do it, she will definitely report this matter in front of the Queen Mother!" I want to see if you are arrogant and don't even pay attention to the Queen Mother! ”

Jiang Xiaoyu smiled coldly and patted Jiang Youran's face: "My sister loves the Queen Mother from the bottom of her heart, my sister must not say anything to her heart, they are all their own sisters, whoever loses face will lose the face of the Jiang family!" The three of us sisters, now only my sister and you are not married, if Mama Qu is happy, the Queen Mother has a good influence on our Jiang family, and she will point out a good family affair for you, if Mama Qu has any misunderstanding about our Jiang family, let the Queen Mother have any misunderstanding about your sister, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, right? So, my sister is kind enough to say that you should be as generous and virtuous as possible, and you also said that Mama Qu likes to know the number of etiquette and understand the people who advance and retreat! ”

"Who reminded me, I know in my own heart, you just take care of yourself, you are so stupid, but it makes Mama Qu feel that the qualifications of our Jiang family's women are not good!" Jiang Youran said with disgust.

After learning the etiquette of this day, Jiang Xiaoyu had a sore back at night, and he was really more tired than learning martial arts!

Yan Yan medicine the scars on Jiang Xiaoyu's hands with a disgruntled face, and said hatefully: "That Mama Qu is too ruthless, how can you say that Miss is the future princess and her master, she can't be like this!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu smiled: "Mama Qu is not a slave, she can be regarded as half a master in the palace, even the prince has to take care of it, what is this little injury, before I was not the young lady of the Jiang family, I was often beaten and scolded by several grandmothers in the Jiang Mansion, and I have long been used to it!" ”

"Miss is also good-natured!" Yan Yan put down Jiang Xiaoyu's sleeves, "Don't drive them all out, but ask them to work hard in the house!" ”

"There is an example of the fourth aunt in front, even if they are in Jiangfu, they are also trembling, for fear that I will remember them that day, and this day may not be good!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled faintly, "Okay, don't be upset for me, I'm tired today, you should rest early!" ”

"The slave knows!" Yanyan packed up her things and left.

Jiang Xiaoyu also fell asleep after taking the pill for a while, the night was westward, and when the moonlight slipped in through the window, a figure also entered by the way, and she sat up by herself after listening to the footsteps.

The person who came was taken aback, and then smiled: "Aren't you waiting for me to fail?" ”

"I knew you were coming today!" Jiang Xiaoyu sat cross-legged on the bed, "I'm clever, aren't you really here?" ”

Zhao Ling sat down next to Jiang Xiaoyu and said with a smile: "Since Miss Jiang is clever, guess what I came up to do tonight?" ”

"It's just that after knowing that Mama Qu is teaching me the rules, let's take a look at the results!" Jiang Xiaoyu rolled his eyes and said, "You're afraid that I'll embarrass you, right?" ”

Zhao Ling scratched Jiang Xiaoyu's nose: "I will say some disgusting things, I know Mama Qu, this old mama is not close to people, and she is the henchman of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that you will be wronged, so come and see!" So how did you learn? I wondered, even though we were engaged, the wedding day was coming down! ”

"The little woman's posture is stupid, she can't even learn simple rules, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you!"

"Mama Qu is too strict, even I am afraid of her, she is afraid that she has suffered a lot for you, let me see!" Zhao Ling grabbed Jiang Xiaoyu's arm, lifted his sleeves, and could still see a few clear red marks on it by the moonlight, he scolded distressedly, "That old pious woman, even my people dare to move, when I see her in the future, I will definitely make her look good!" ”

"People are strict with me because they feel sorry for you, but you don't know how to receive it!" Jiang Xiaoyu said with a smile, "I don't take this little injury to heart because of my rough skin and thick flesh, she thinks that I am not worthy of you, so she naturally wants to be strict with me, I hope that I can show my hand in other places, and you don't have to be too harsh with Mama Qu!" ”

She paused and said: "Don't talk about this matter, I've been preparing for this time to learn the rules for the past two days, but it's not an outside matter, tell me, Prime Minister Lin's matter has come to that point first?" ”

"After this matter was stabbed out, it shocked the government and the opposition, His Majesty first put the prime minister under house arrest in the mansion and did not allow him to move, just wait for the matter to be verified clearly!" Zhao Ling said.

"How far do you think you'll go?" Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes turned and asked.

"The prime minister has meritorious service to the country, and he is loyal to His Majesty, His Majesty will not kill him, at most let him return to his hometown!" Zhao Ling thought for a while and said, "But although the prime minister has fallen, this matter is not necessarily beneficial to the second prince!" ”

"What's the explanation?"

"The prime minister is full of peach and plums all over the world, but the prime minister wants to come between the two princes, so it is strictly forbidden for the protégé to also participate in the affairs of the two princes. Zhao Ling said, "It's just a candidate for the new prime minister...... The head of the prime minister's hundred officials, the second and third know His Majesty's temperament, and they dare not put their hands on it, and His Majesty's mind is difficult to figure out, and the new prime minister does not know what impact it will have on the overall situation! ”

"What about Ruoruo and Lin Xuan?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked again.

"If you cultivate on Mount Yao, you don't know what is going on in Beijing, Lin Xuan is running for the prime minister's affairs, but his ambition is not in the government and the opposition, as long as the prime minister can save his life and return to his hometown to retire, he is already satisfied!" Zhao Ling said.

"Lin Gongzi...... He must have been sad to see his father suffering! Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his eyes and said, "You said that Lin Gongzi is a good person, but all good people always bear too much by themselves!" ”

Zhao Ling also sighed deeply, and there was a moment of silence between the two.

"What about the Criminal Department? How is Your Majesty going to deal with it? ”

"The criminal department is still derelict in his duties, and the Dali Temple has been investigated, and many favoritism and bending the law have been investigated and dealt with, and His Majesty has dismissed him from the army and confiscated him!"

"You already have the intention of moving the Punishment Department, why aren't you happy?"

"The illegal things of the Criminal Department Shangshu were found at the first check and the evidence is conclusive, what does this mean, it shows that His Majesty has long wanted to move him!" Zhao Ling squinted slightly and said.
