Chapter 115: Stepping Down
Jing Hu saw that Xu Guannan's face was slightly softened, and continued: "Since my cousin wants to invite me to sit in the Qi Nian Palace, please come to the Spring and Harmony Hall of the crown princess, then I am naturally disrespectful. ”
"It's not too early, it's better for us to pass over now, and let the crown princess take a rest."
After Jinghu finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Xu Guannan, and seriously saluted the crown princess. Xu Guannan didn't even bend his knees, and wanted to leave immediately.
Jinghu finished the salute, stood up with a smile, turned to Xu Guannan and said: "My mother is at home, and she often talks about her cousin, saying that her cousin's rules and etiquette are the best, after all, I used to be the companion of Sister Zhenjing, so I have nothing to do with my cousin." ”
"But now that my cousin lives in the East Palace, I don't see my cousin much, and I don't have a chance to learn even if I want to. Today is just right, why don't my cousins teach me how to bow when facing a woman with a higher status than me. ”
Xu Guannan glanced at her suspiciously, and turned his gaze to the crown princess, with a little resentment. She still didn't want to pay attention to Jinghu and turned to leave.
Jinghu flashed in front of her and laughed out two small pear vortexes, "My cousin just said that she wanted to see me, and she must not bear to see me fail to learn the rules and be scolded by my mother when I go home." ”
"The mother concubine has always said that the daughter of the Xu family has the most rules, is it just a waste of fame?"
It was Jinghu who was forcing her, not the crown princess, so she naturally understood it. When she was about to continue walking, Jinghu kept stopping her, so she had to swallow her anger and turn around to salute the crown princess.
The crown princess said lightly: "The crown princess is getting older, so it's better to go out and move around less, and you don't have to come to the Spring and Palace again." I ate the wrong thing a while ago, but luckily your child is okay, it's time for a long memory. ”
This is a matter in their East Palace, and Jinghu is not interested in knowing. Now that her goal has been achieved, she is too lazy to pester Xu Guannan anymore.
As soon as she walked out of the door of the Chunhe Palace, Jinghu learned from her when she asked the crown princess to say goodbye, and bent her knees slightly and wanted to leave.
"It's not early, I thought about it, it's better to go back to the house earlier, and save my mother and cousin's aunt from being in a hurry, so I'll go first."
She only walked out a few steps, and was stopped by the palace maid beside Xu Guannan, she paced over slowly, "The county lord just told me to learn my etiquette." I set an example for you, why is the county lord's ceremony still like this? ”
Jinghu smiled and made up his mind to play a scoundrel with her, "Cousin Fang Cai didn't just salute once in the palace, good spirits are not bad spirits, and it is also a common thing. Why don't you show me another example from my cousin? ”
"I'm young and of low rank, so I can't afford my cousin's courtesy, so it's better for my cousin to stand here and salute to the Spring and Harmony Palace. After all, the lady in the Chunhe Hall is a concubine, and it is not strange that there are many people. ”
Xu Guannan sneered, "I haven't seen you for a few months, the county lord's temper is good, but who did you learn from this behavior of worshipping high and stepping on low?" ”
She deliberately straightened her stomach again, as if she was showing off something. "I've only lived in the South Garden for a few months, and now I'm back in the East Palace. Soon my son will be born, and you and I are sisters, so why bother to hold her and step on me? ”
is so frivolous, naturally he will not feel that there is anything wrong with his disrespect for the crown princess. Since it's not that she's wrong, of course it's Jinghu's "worship high and low" is wrong.
The same situation seems to be happening every day around her.
When she was in Jiangnan, her second cousin Xu Yu also took her to the teahouse to listen to the story. In addition to those old-fashioned stories written in books, there are occasionally bold storytellers who dare to discuss the affairs of this dynasty.
She listened to many stories of Empress Yuanli and Zhang Shuren there, although there are always exaggerations, but looking at the status of Princess Yu Zhenjing in today's heart, she knows the situation back then, but I am afraid that it will not be much worse.
The same is true for the mother concubine and the princess of the county, even if she is a concubine, she is favored by her father, and the princess of the county has always been not in harmony with her father and wife, and many of the subordinates in the palace of the county princess are more afraid of flattering her mother.
No matter which Concubine Xu is favored, she is a direct or indirect beneficiary, is she really qualified to stand on the side of justice and teach Xu Guannan, who is actually no different from her mother's concubine, ?
"My cousin thinks it's a bow to the high, but I think it's just because people stand under the eaves and always bow their heads willingly. The crown princess is generous and gentle, and it is my blessing to have such a sister-in-law, and in the future, it is also a blessing for the people of the world. ”
"In the end, what happens to your cousin, it's your own business, it's the East Palace's business. In the same way, if I want to go back to the palace of Yongning County, there is no need for my cousin to interfere with me. ”
Xu Guannan stared at her for a moment, and then said: "What you said is high-sounding, she is generous and gentle?" How much do you know about her? ”
Jinghu met her gaze, "I don't know much about the crown princess, just as I don't know much about my cousin now. The crown princess is right, my cousin is getting older, so it's better to move around less. ”
Xu Guannan left Yanjing when she was in the ninth year of Zhaoyong and followed her mother to Jiangnan where her father took office. came back again, and it didn't take long for her to become the prince's concubine.
There are many years of difference, and there are few people who get along, if you want to say how much familiarity there is, in fact, there is really none. It's just that there were a few times, when she was still the proud princess's concubine, she followed her mother to see her a few times.
It is useless to talk too much. "If my cousin doesn't have anything else to do, I'll go first. I wish my cousin all the best and a good morning. ”
This sentence is true, competing for favor with each other and pouring into each other is a matter of the future.
Xu Guannan didn't have anything else to say to her, nodded, raised his chin contemptuously, and turned around to hold the maid's hand and went in the direction of the Qi Nian Palace.
Jinghu looked at it for a moment, and then went her own way. She always felt that she didn't seem to be as happy as before, and she didn't feel much joy in things like today, but she didn't feel much joy.
Since the second half of last year, she has grown a lot taller, experienced more things, and no longer only wants to be happy as before, and does not think about right and wrong.
She was walking to Zhenning's residence, and when she said goodbye to her, she was also going to end her short release and return to Fangshixuan's confinement.
Jinghu just walked out of the corridor on this side, and met a young man dressed in pine blue and straight, it was Ke Mingxu, even if she was back, she would not admit it.
Her encounters with him were no longer as frequent as they had been last year, and each time it was measured in months.
No matter what time it was, she wanted to see him. Jinghu didn't think about anything more, Fang Cai's unhappiness was swept away, she couldn't help laughing, lifted her skirt, and quickly chased after her.
