Chapter 68: Etiquette
I didn't say anything, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"In that case, what are you looking for me to do?" I didn't have the heart to ask.
"The mother's temper is not very good." She smiled. "In our Shuiyue Country, the most important thing is etiquette, we must always keep smiling, and we can't show impatience." She said.
"What do you mean?" Scolding me for being rude?
"It's not interesting." She laughed again. "The Empress Dowager loves you and is famous. It's just a curtain of envy. She said.
"Niangniang, you are different from us, maybe you can't understand my feelings. You don't have to compete for favor, and you can easily become a queen. She pursed her lips.
I raised an eyebrow at her. "So?"
"Niangniang, it's not easy to survive in the Water Moon Country. We have to please the Queen Mother, and we have to please the Emperor, on the contrary, we are now the Queen Mother, three or four years younger than me, and the Queen Mother doesn't like it, why did she become the queen? β
I glanced at her. "I don't understand what you're telling me about this dry hemp."
"It's not fair. A fourteen-year-old baby who became the queen directly without any effort? The more she spoke, the angrier she became.
"She's lucky." I say.
"Although tomorrow is ostensibly the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, it is actually a concubine." She sighed. "Your Emperor attaches great importance to it, I want to invite you..."
"Needless to say, it can't be." I say.
"At the beginning, the emperor just wanted to use the fate of the tea! The emperor has told me, the emperor's lack of a profit is just a push, as long as you say it, the emperor will..."
"Will you abolish the tea and make you the queen?"
"I can't guarantee that I'll be made queen. But as long as the fate is abolished, I am completely sure. β
I pouted. "Oh? Didn't you come to the palace recently and was named a concubine Yang Liuqin after 12 days in the palace? β
She waved her hand. "Come on, how long can she think that a high-minded woman can stay in the palace? The emperor's love now is just that freshness. I heard that Liuqin was forced to enter the palace, so his attitude towards the emperor is that if he leaves, men don't love this kind of thing. But this kind of woman will soon be replaced. She said.
"You get the idea." I say.
She looked at me. "To be a man is to be shrewd. There will not be only one woman in every emperor. β
I glared at her. "What do you mean!"
She chuckled. "You're so sensitive." She pursed her lips. "So you can't help with this?"
Do you want me to help her and let Ming Fen be abolished? Joke!
"I don't help."
She stood up. "Not helping?"
"Yes. Why should I help? Mingfeng is my good sister, and besides, it's no good for me to do this, right? β
She was silent for a moment. "I can teach you how to tie up a man. Every woman in the palace should learn. Especially if you deserve to learn. β
"Why should I learn more?" I asked.
"I just received a message. I heard that Emperor Xuanye is going to take her daughter to your Emperor Sun Kingdom. β
"So what?"
She laughed. "Niangniang is really simple, you don't understand what this means?"
I also stood up. "Don't go too far. Why do you have to be intrigued? Can't you live in peace? The palace can guarantee you to enjoy glory and wealth, right? β
She looked at me deeply. "I'd rather live in intrigue than be lonely for the rest of my life. In the palace, this is the law of survival. With that, she turned to walk towards the door.
"Wait!" I shouted.
She smiled, then looked back. "What? Changed my mind. β
I walked over to her. "If you want to go, I'll go first." With that, I gave her a hard push. Then he pushed the door open and walked away in style.
Hee-hee, this time I finally left someone else!
After leaving Concubine Rong behind yesterday, I went back to Yuanliu Palace to rest. Ming Fei looked quite normal, and I didn't think much of it, so I just fell asleep.
The next morning I was woken up by a loud noise.
"You're awake?" Ming Fei was grooming the palace maids, and she sat in a chair, looking at me in the mirror.
"Huh." I answered. "What time is it?"
"When the time comes." She said.
I had my head spinning, and it was about five and seven in the morning.
"You're going to get your makeup so early?"
She rolled her eyes. "Today is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."
"Yes." Then I remembered that today is a grand birthday banquet!
"Someone, help Qiange freshen up and change clothes." Ming Fei suddenly ordered... It's really true, it's not imposing... It's a bit like a child talking...
When the palace maids helped me change my clothes, I looked at Mingfeng.
"Are you nervous?" I asked.
She looked at me. "Nervous about what?"
I was silent for a moment. "It's good that you're not nervous. Do I need to go? β
"Of course I want to come." Ming Feng said.
I shook my head. "Isn't that right? In what capacity should I attend? β
"The Empress of the Imperial Sun Kingdom. There will be a lot of people from all over the world today. β
My heart shook. "Tianyu, they're coming too?"
"Yes." She glanced at me faintly. "Don't be nervous."
I nodded blankly. "It's hard not to be nervous." I muttered.
She smiled lightly. "Maybe today is the last time we'll see each other."
I glared at her. "Nonsense, how can it be the last time?"
"You have to go back to the Emperor's Kingdom." She said.
"You can come and have fun." I say.
"Let's talk about it." She didn't pay any attention to me.
I looked at my mirror. "Does the makeup need to be so thick?" I asked.
"Yes. Today's Niangniang is attending as the queen of the Imperial Republic of China. This makeup is the focus of the bank. A palace maid said.
I didn't speak, let her do it, my mind was already flying far away.
"The Emperor has come to you." After finishing the makeup, a palace maid suddenly said.
My eyes widened. "So fast? And where? β
"The hall." The palace maid bowed slightly.
"Go ahead." Ming Feng said.
I nodded, and followed one of the maids down the hall.
"Miss!" Suddenly someone called out to me, and the voice was all too familiar... It's Xiao Cui..
"Don't cry, mother, you can make up." A palace maid suddenly stopped me from tears falling from my eyes.
"How do you think you can stop this crying?" I glanced at the palace maid.
"Miss, I miss you so much!" Emerald suddenly flew on me.
"I miss you too..."I cried loudly and hugged Xiaocui tightly.
"Mother." Ziyi suddenly ran in.
My eyes widened. "Purple? You're here too? "I cried harder again.
"... The slaves miss you so much. She said.
I wiped my tears. "I miss you too. Purple clothes come over and let me take a look. β
Ziyi nodded and walked over slowly. I took a closer look at her and Xiaocui.
"Bothβ" I paused. Fat. β
After I finished speaking, Xiao Cui's face immediately collapsed.
"Miss! Are you supposed to say something when you're sad? She shouted at once.
I left her. "Ziyi, look, Xiaocui's temper has deteriorated again." I smiled and looked at the bullish red-faced Xiaocui. "Sit down." I say.
Sitting down, I felt a sense of warmth. It's good to see them again.
"Light song." I looked back to see who called me and saw her, Long Ting.
"Dragon... Graceful. I whispered. I feel guilty about her.
"Why do you see my reaction so bad?" She smiled slightly, and I looked at her, she had lost some weight, but she still felt healthy.
"I'm sorry," I said, tears falling again.
She walked over. "What are you crying about? Is this poison nothing? I got poison and I can't get rid of it? β
"But I'll stab you with that sword." I whispered.
She took my hand. "I know you didn't mean to. It's not very toxic, and you've only got some flesh wounds on me. β
I looked at her. "You don't blame me?"
"What do you do? When I have nothing to do? We all want to... You're this... I hate mouths and cheap women... Woo... Want... It's not fate... Tell us about you... In this... We.. Ignorance... When will we see you?" she cried. It's just that... I'm a woman who hates mouths and... Seems to be saying something when you should be sad?
"What are you crying about?" I say. "My aunt has nothing to say, nothing to say, and she doesn't cry, why are you crying?"
She glared at me. "Phew! You didn't have blood or tears..."
I slapped her hand hard. "You girl!" I scolded.
Long Ting smiled. "What a bad temper!" She said. I heard and was about to hit her.
"Fourth brother, come and pull!" Long Ting grimaced at me and ran to the door, where Tianhe was standing and looking at me with a gentle smile.
"Tianhe?" I screamed.
She smiled, and Eminan was really sunny when she laughed.
"Long time no see."
"Yes," I said.
She walked over and looked down at me. "No blame for you, don't worry." She touched my head.
I'm about to fall again.
"Don't cry, let's all go to the birthday banquet first." She said. "Let's go."
I nodded. "Where's Tianyu?"
"She'll be slower." Tianhe looked at me. "Don't worry about anything, the second brother misses you very much."
I smiled faintly. "It's still you and me."
I walked with them to the birthday banquet. There were a lot of people there, and Long Aotian and the others hadn't arrived yet.
"Sit there." Tianhe pointed to the front one.
"We're sitting so close to Aotian and them, aren't we?" Right next to the Lord's seat...
"Yes." Long Ting spoke up. "The second brother and Aotian cousin are no longer arguing!"
I said as I walked. "Stop making noise?"
"Niangniang, Xiaocui and I will retreat first." Ziyi suddenly spoke.
"Why?" I look at them.
"We are slaves, and we are here to help."
I waved my hand. "I didn't treat you as slaves, just keep you by your side."
"But mother, the slave still has to help."
"Help what?"
"Give it to the others." The purple cloth opened.
I waved my hand again. "You are my people, who dares to tell you to do things." I say. "Just be there."
Ziyi nodded, pulling Xiao Cui back to the back.
"You said that Tianyu and Aotian are not quarrelsome?" I asked Long Ting.
Long Ting sat down next to me. "Yes, Cousin Aotian may have seen through Lin Rong'er."
I hesitated. "See through?"
