It is said that it is a ten-day ritual, but some rules have been engraved in the bones, and they cannot be changed in just ten days, such as a simple curtsy, Zhou Fuling said that she studied for more than a month to be called "can", although Mingyue is a concubine, the rules have been learned since childhood, so compared, not to mention those famous and noble women.

"Ladies and gentlemen, look at the palace rules in your hands." On the first day of teaching, Aunt Songjing, all the women sat in the west hall of Xunfang Palace, but there was a faint distinction: "During the period of Emperor Taizu, there was a queen, a noble concubine, and virtuous Shude was the four concubines, Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiuyi, Xiuyi, Xiuyi, Chongyi, Chongrong, and Chongyuan were nine concubines, and there were ten talents and beauties, and there was no fixed number of servants. Withdrew the concubine position, and added Jieyu to the position of nine concubines. ”

Mingyue wrote down these positions one by one according to the palace rules, and said quietly: "If you girls have any doubts, you can ask." ”

I saw a show girl by the window and said: "Dare to ask my aunt, why did you increase Jieyu's position?" ”

Song Jing looked at it, his face eased, and said: "Because of the rules, only nine concubines and above can be in charge of a palace affairs, called 'the main mother', and later there was a precedent of extraordinarily opening the grace to take charge of a palace, so I simply set up Jieyu to canonize the concubine who has qualifications but no heirs." ”

Mingyue and Zhou Fuling beside her glanced at each other, although it seemed to be a more humane rule, but it also abolished the position of the concubine, who was known as the deputy queen, which led to the strengthening of the queen's rights in the harem, coupled with the habit of close relatives of the royal family as in-laws...... I'm afraid that it will be a great blessing for these show girls to sit on the Jieyu position before the second general election in three years.

Then Song Jing talked about the title of the concubine, which was also the rule of the Taizu period, which was used to reward meritorious concubines, but in recent generations, there are few concubines with titles in the harem, so the title can be called a supreme glory. In addition, it was also mentioned that although talented people and beauties are under Jieyu, talented people are faintly respected.

Song Jing told in more detail, an hour has passed after the lesson is finished, followed by the "piano art" class, which is clearly written in the booklet, and there are female workers, tea making, games and other classes on the remaining nine days, although this is also called a class, but these are probably used to evaluate the talent of the show girls.

What was inconvenient to display due to the time of the primary election will now be displayed one by one in the world.

For example, in today's piano class, although Mingyue has never learned the qin music in depth, after all, this is only learned by singers and dancers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's song is only for boudoir fun, and it cannot be passed on." The piano class came to a young woman who was called "Mr. Miao".

As soon as this name came out, a few show girls talked softly: "Isn't that string musician Mr. Miao?" ”

Zhou Lingling didn't talk about piano music, and even Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu couldn't tell the difference, so she didn't know Mr. Miao's name, so Mingyue explained to her in a whisper: "Mr. Miao learned pipa at the age of five, and now he has six out of forty, and he has mastered most string music." "In short, any musical instrument with strings can be played.

After Mr. Miao finished speaking, there were little palace maids who moved the guqin, guzheng and other musical instruments into the hall one by one, and then looked at the show girls with different faces, some relaxed, some heavy. For a while, there was no first one to speak.

After another moment, a person at the door spoke: "Mr. Fang Cai said that it was the fun of the boudoir, and it was not enough for outsiders, so I will play the first song and throw bricks and stones." ”

Mingyue looked at it, and it turned out to be Lu Huanting. Lu Huanting's words have a deep meaning, making it clear that this is a game between sisters, not for people to make fun of, and at the same time to warn everyone not to spread it nonsense.

Lu Huanting is humble in her words, but everyone understands that her piano music is definitely taught by everyone. Sure enough, although Lu Huanting only played one song "Mountains and Flowing Water", it also made future generations dare not step forward easily. It was Mr. Miao who spoke: "If there is no one, then take Miss Lu as the leader." ”

Zhou Fuling was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at Mingyue. Is this actually ranked?

Now everyone no longer hid their clumsiness, but stepped forward one by one in order. Mingyue also played a zither in the crowd, her zither can only be said to be decent, not outstanding, let alone the top three. On the contrary, there is a show girl who can play the gonghou, and he got Mr. Miao's sentence: "Excellent." ”

Musical instruments are all water mills, not something that can be learned overnight, and good instruments are expensive and infrequently obtained, so this time it can be said that those civilian show girls are all wiped out. Just as Mr. Miao was about to announce the name of the top three, another person stepped forward to take the pipa.

Zhou Fuling's face was wrong, and she whispered to Mingyue: "Her name is Hu Xuewei, and she arrived on the same day as me." ”

This is actually a civilian woman.

I saw Hu Xuewei plucking the strings, it was indeed a pipa song. But the more Mingyue listened, the more wrong it became, and when she looked at it again, she saw that Mr. Miao was also frowning and silent, Zhou Fuling was about to inquire in detail, and Mr. Miao had already shouted to stop: "Miss Lu, the second and third are Miss Fang and Miss Zhao." ”

Hu Xuewei was shouted to stop, and when she learned that she was not in the top three, she was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked, Mr. Miao glanced at her, left a sentence of "beautiful voice" and left. Leave the rest to whisper.

Hu Xuewei had the intention of being shocked, but now this situation made her a little embarrassed, and she faintly heard in her ears: "The sound of beauty...... What did you learn ......" and so on. She looked around, bit her lip, and turned to go out the door.

In Mingyue's opinion, she felt like she was running away. Seeing that Zhou Fuling intended to ask what it was, she avoided the important and said lightly: "From the flower boat." Zhou Fuling blinked, and after a while she understood, her face was a little unsightly.

After Mr. Miao left, all the daughters also left one after another, and Zhao Juan and Lu Huanting had to be summoned to Taikang Palace again. Mingyue went to dinner with Zhou Fuling, and before leaving, she saw a girl who tripped over herself when she got up, and both of them each stretched out a hand to support her.

Only then did I find out that it was the show girl who played the gong just now, and it seemed to be surnamed Fang.

Fang Chuxia raised her head and subconsciously squinted her eyes, and saw that it was a show girl in the same costume as her, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you two girls." ”

Mingyue said: "It's okay, the girl is careful herself." This Fang girl's posture is quite contemptuous, Mingyue didn't want to dwell on this matter, and was about to leave, but she didn't expect Fang Chuxia to speak first: "My father gave me the name of Chuxia, I ...... When I was a child, I hurt my eyes when I read books, so I often squinted when I looked at people, not intentionally offending the two. ”

This made Mingyue and Zhou Fuling stop, and the two of them became a threesome, and during the conversation, they learned that Fang Chuxia loved to read when he was young, and he often avoided the maid at night to read by the moonlight, and over time he got an eye disease, but fortunately he did not delay his daily actions, but if he wanted to see things clearly, he had to squint his eyes.

Seeing that Fang Chuxia was not as arrogant as Zhao Juan yesterday, Zhou Poria was much more active than yesterday, and sincerely praised Fang Chuxia's Gonghou.

Fang Chuxia said with a smile: "That's because you haven't heard of Mr. Miao's Gonghou, not to mention that I can't see the strings clearly, and it is estimated that there will not be much growth in the future." ”

Mingyue teased: "You can't see that the strings are like this, what should we do?" ”

Zhou Fuling also smiled.

When the three of them arrived at the dining place, a group of people had gathered outside, and when they listened, there was a beautiful girl talking inside.
