Chapter 5 Etiquette
Nan Qian leaned against the window, the slightest autumn wind blew through her hair, she looked at the bright moon, and suddenly remembered Chen Qi. She remembered that Chen Qi had told her that in autumn he would take her to see the fallen leaves of the sycamores, and the autumn wind was bleak. Now she is still alone, watching the autumn leaves and blowing the autumn wind.
Nan Qian patted her face stiffened by the wind, and went back to the bed to lie down. Actually, to be honest, she was very confused. In modern times, she has always dreamed of being a life-saving doctor. But now that she can do it, she is starting to be afraid.
She was afraid that she was not good at medicine, that the patient would leave in front of her eyes, and that she could not do anything about it. It is said that the doctor is the one who robs people with Lord Yama, and she is afraid that she will not be able to rob herself.
Nan Qian tossed and turned, the night was long, and finally waited until the birds outside the window began to chirp, and then slowly fell asleep.
The first rays of the morning sun shine into the bedroom. Nan Qian was picked up in a daze, and the fierce face that suddenly enlarged in front of her made Nan Qian excited.
"Miss Nan, what time is it now, it's time to get up. Since the old body has been ordered by the mother, he must be responsible to the girl," said the grandmother, standing beside the bed with a ruler in her hand, and several maids serving behind her.
Nan Qian was sleepy-eyed, and when she saw the ring ruler in her mother's hand, she suddenly woke up. Mom, come on, really. She thought that the concubine was just casually perfunctory, but she didn't expect it to be arranged so quickly.
After waking up, how dare she lie on the bed, Mama's expression was already very displeased, the ring ruler was up and down in her hand, and Nan Qian hurriedly got up and changed her clothes.
After the maid dressed her up and dressed her better, the grandmother took her to the main hall again. Huang Guifei sat on the main seat early, and the tea lid was up and down with the tea foam in the cup.
"Get on your knees"
The grandmother next to her suddenly said something, which made Nan Qian stunned. Before she could digest it, the ring ruler in Mama's hand had already hit her leg. Out of instinctive reaction, Nan Qian fell to her knees with a thud.
Place your palms facing up on the floor. The head should be lowered, the forehead should be close to the palm, and the body should be straight," Mama said as she beat Nan Qian back and forth with a ring ruler.
Nan Qian was beaten with tears in her eyes, and she was very suspicious that this ordinance mama was deliberate, and she was ordered by Huang Guifei to announce her personal vendetta.
"Mama doesn't have to be too strict, Miss Nan has fine skin and tender meat, if she bumps into it, Your Majesty should blame the palace again" Skullcap put down the teacup and looked at Nan Qian condescendingly, with a very arrogant look in her eyes. It's just a fox, and she doesn't know how to make the emperor fall in love with her.
"Yes, the mother taught me. It's just that Miss Nan has never been exposed to the etiquette of the palace, so it would not be good if it was a joke. The road in the future is still long," Mama naturally understood the meaning of Skullcap's words. She has taught countless little masters in the palace for decades, and she has never taught this rural village woman from nowhere, which makes her really aggrieved.
Nan Qian listened to the sneering of this servant and master, and there was a subtext in the words, she could hear it. Doesn't it mean that she, a lowly folk woman, hooked up with their emperor?
"Niangniang and Mama taught me a very good lesson, because the folk girl entered the palace to treat the eldest princess, she got the gift of His Majesty and lived under the same roof with Niangniang. The folk girl thanked her mother, "Nanqian is not a angry bag, so she naturally wants to go back."
"You—" Skullcap slapped the table, visibly angry. But instead, he seemed to sense a big loss of manners and adjusted back.
"My sister's temperament is going to suffer in the palace, and I won't see anyone who looks up and looks down in the future. The words are so aggressive, but they will cause trouble" Skullcap's seemingly unfazed passage is full of threats.
Nan Qian didn't understand why they all thought they would become the emperor's new concubine. She just went to the palace to treat the eldest princess, how could she touch their cheese.
didn't wait for her to speak, Skullcap smiled again and said, "You and my sisters have met once, today this palace teaches my sister etiquette, and don't forget my sister when she wins the honor in the future."
Nan Qian directly asked the mark, and this change of face changed too quickly. Forget it, since she has regressed. No matter how hard she is, there is no point in scolding herself, the identity gap is so big, and she is the one who suffers.
"Yes, the folk girl remembers the grace of the mother" Nan Qian knelt on the ground from beginning to end, she was really tired, and she finally understood how hard it was for the ancient concubine to ask for peace twice a day.
"It's not too early, so let's go down. Mama will teach you other etiquette" Skullcap leaned on the table with one hand, holding his eyebrows, and waved his hand a little tiredly.
When Nan Qian stood up, the numbness in her legs almost made her grin and fall to the ground. In modern times, she didn't like sports, and her classmates once laughed at her, as a Chinese medicine doctor, the most healthy profession, she was still so lazy.
Two maids stepped forward to support Nan Qian, and walked all the way to the courtyard of the main hall, ready to learn how to walk.
Nan Qian is still crying without tears, and the laziness of modern stealing is all in ancient times. At this moment, Gonggong Liu, who was beside Jiang Li, came over. Nan Qian's eyes lit up, and the savior came.
"Our family is at the behest of His Majesty, and I came to invite Miss Nan to Xinyi Palace" Liu Guang looked at Nan Qian with a kind eyebrow, he has not been in vain in the palace for so many years, and Nan Qian is very likely to become the new master.
"Grandpa Liu" said Mama saluted.
"Hmm. It's such a big day today, and I don't know how to find a shady place. Miss Nan is a distinguished guest invited by His Majesty, so don't slack off. Liu Guang turned his face to see Mama, and his face became serious again.
Nan Qian couldn't help but laugh secretly, Mama was so aggrieved. However, Gonggong Liu was the personal eunuch of the emperor's side, and the Empress Dowager of the Min Dynasty died early. So at present, Gonggong Liu is the eldest of the people in this palace, and he is in charge of a group of palace maids and eunuchs.
On the way to Xinyi Palace, I heard the public speaking again.
"This palace is no better than the people, Miss Nan has to be careful and do things carefully."
Although Nan Qian didn't like this feeling of flattery very much, Father-in-law Liu had helped her just now, and what he said was also kind.
"Gonggong Xie taught that Nan Qian will be cautious in the future"
Soon arrived at Xinyi Palace, I have to say that Jiang Liang also spoiled his sister to the extreme. The palace was named after her, and a palace suitable for her condition was also specially chosen.
"See Your Majesty" Nan Qian put her hands on her left waist, bent her legs, and bowed her head. Finally, there was no need to kneel and prostrate, and Nan Qian was happy for her legs for a second.
"Yes, the noble concubine remembered my words and taught her very well." Jiang Liang looked at Nan Qian's etiquette with satisfaction with his hands behind his back.
It's a popcorn, that grandma is just perfunctory, and she taught her a kneeling bow in half a day, not to mention which people want to worship and which people don't use, and the beating hurts. This is still on the way here, Liu Gonggong taught her.
