Chapter Seventy-One: Entering the Palace
"Madam, this is a human skin mask made before Xia, it is definitely of the highest quality, as thin as a cicada's wings, but it can make others not recognize you." Lu Baiyi put a thin layer of flesh-colored object into Yu Wen's hand, "Even if you are so close that you can't see it when you breathe and smell each other." ”
He straightened the dresser and added, "If you don't reveal other clues." ”
Yu Wen spread out his mask: "Such a little thing, it doesn't look special, can people not see my appearance at all?" ”
"Harmony of the five senses." Lu Baiyi dotted the cinnabar between his eyebrows, "If all kinds of places are changed slightly, the overall feeling will be completely different." ”
"These eyebrows are pretty well done...... Where do I keep it? ”
"Whatever. I use the best materials, so no matter how you fold it or put it inside a pile of bugs, it won't break. Unless you're determined to destroy it, you can split it in half in half after cutting it with a dark iron blade for half a day. ”
"How? I mean, what's the raw material? ”
Lu Baiyi turned around and wrapped the shawl: "Wait until you learn how to draw your facial features first!" ”
had already understood that this was the end, Yu Wen raised his eyebrows: "Thank you, Master, don't leave it today." ”
"Walk slowly." The one who followed Yu Wen out of the room was already the charming landlord Ruqin.
"What? Summoned by the Queen?! Yu Wen squirted out a sip of tea, and the fog chao, who had just returned from the Material Bureau, was also startled.
Yunping nodded: "Aunt Cai, who is beside Niangniang, has just left on her front foot, saying that Niangniang wants to say something considerate to her wife, and hopes that Mrs. will come to the palace tomorrow afternoon." ”
"Since the day Mrs. Da first married into the general's mansion to worship Longhuang, Niangniang has never summoned Mrs. Ah." Wu Chao frowned, "This file suddenly called Madame to the deep palace, and I don't know if anything happens." ”
"The slave maid also thinks so, because Aunt Cai emphasized that the queen likes to be clean, and it is best for the lady to only bring her personal maid, and the palace people will not snub the lady." Yunping handed Yu Wen a handkerchief.
Yu Wen wiped his mouth and said resentfully: "Fog Dynasty, make up the soup; Cloud screen, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are ready to help me with tutoring. ”
"Yes."
“…… When I arrived at Yanjia Palace, what should I do before crossing the threshold? ”
"Bow."
"Bow your head and walk into the hall, when you are far from the queen's mother, how far will you bow again?"
"About seven steps ahead."
"What are you going to do when you get up?"
"Blessed as you go."
"Very well, it seems that you have memorized most of the etiquette, ma'am. Then the slave will talk to you about how to thank you when you give the seat, and how to sit down......"
A lamp was turned on until late at night, Yu Wen drank tonics, listened to the etiquette teachings of Yunping, and was subjected to the perfect massage of the fog dynasty, and finally completed the cramming before the battle.
"Madam, you must not forget the etiquette that the slave and maid taught you yesterday, this red-walled and blue-tiled palace can eat people, let alone meet the queen's mother......" Sitting in the carriage to the palace, Yunping was still babbling to Yu Wen.
"To be exact, you taught until the early hours of this morning." Yu Wen rubbed his eyes that had been compressed with a handkerchief and pinched himself hard.
Wu Chao consciously began to massage his temples for Yu Wen: "Madame has worked hard. The queen doesn't have much time left for you, I'm afraid you have the intention to make things difficult. ”
"Yes, judging from the turmoil of the last palace banquet, Niangniang is going to lure Mrs. into her own territory, and then eat Mrs. alive!" The more Yunping spoke, the more worried he became, and Yu Wen bared his teeth and was even more scared for a while.
Sitting in the sedan chair sent by the queen to pick up people into the inner palace, Yunping kept repeating: "First kneel, your head must touch the ground for three seconds, madam, don't forget, the time is not short; Also, you can't blow tea in front of the queen, you must cover your mouth with a cup lid; By the way, you can't walk too fast, and try not to expose more than half of your feet......"
"Madam, it's time to get off the sedan chair." The leader's chamberlain shouted.
Yu Wen got off the sedan chair by someone else, and saw that Aunt Cai and a handmaid were already waiting outside the courtyard: "Welcome to Ye Yu, the wife of the general." ”
"Auntie, please." Yu Wen gave a hand, followed Aunt Cai to the front of the main hall, and respectfully knelt down at the door: "Concubine Ye Yu to meet the queen!" ”
Then he walked in with his head down, his eyes kept nailing to the shoes that couldn't be exposed too much, and he checked the position with his peripheral vision, and then he knelt down and bowed: "Queen Mother Sheng'an." ”
The woman behind the beaded curtain was silent, fiddling with the red beans in her hand, and tossed them from a white porcelain bowl into the jasper cup that was clinging to it.
"Ding", "Ding", "Ding".
Yu Wen knew that this was a common means of dismounting in novels, so she began to review the etiquette in her mind very calmly:
Well, when the seat was given, you couldn't turn your back to the queen to find a seat, you could only tilt your head and squint at the position desperately and without a trace. Oh yo, this dress of the queen is so colorful and beautiful......
"Let's be flat."
The sound is not loud, and the majesty is enough.
Yu Wen got up slowly, didn't dare to breathe a little more, and then bent his knees slightly: "Niang Niang Wanfu." ”
"Bestow a seat. Green tree, tea. ”
Yu Wen's brain worked quickly, and he did it one by one. Even when she was too nervous to be burned when she took the first sip of tea, she smiled and swallowed it. The hot tea is like a gun, piercing the throat, rushing into the esophagus, straight into the stomach, and flowing into the intestines.
"Count the days, you have married into the general's mansion for nearly three years."
"Hui Niangniang, the concubine married the general in September of the seventeenth year, and it will indeed be three years in a few months."
"Don't stick to those etiquettes, one bite at a time, you and I are already a family." The bead curtain said kindly.
Yu Wen smiled: "Yes." "But I must still implement the results of staying up all night and fighting, otherwise I will be in danger of dying at any time.
"It's been so long, and there haven't been any big storms in the Jiangfu, which shows that your ability is not ordinary." The queen took a sip of tea, "Until January, my brother almost died from a meal. ”
She looked up and looked at the young woman below, "And it's dining with you." ”
Yu Wen hurriedly put down the teacup and knelt on the ground: "The concubine knows that she has made a big mistake, and after she recovers, she will immediately execute the poisoned maidservant, and the main envoy Tan has already been punished, not to mention that she is now in the loess." Since then, the concubine has ordered the whole house to eat carefully, and when they eat together, the general's dishes have also been tried by the concubine herself. ”
I changed it when I knew my mistake like this, and your old account should be closed.
"Good." The queen said this, and fell silent again. The residual temperature was hindered by the silence in the hall, and there was no sound, so he did not dare to drink tea, for fear of making a noise and destroying the silent environment.
The queen took a long, soft, breath, and then said softly, slowly, "I am not as blessed as you...... You all retreat to the outside of the temple to do things, and help me take care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard. ”
"Yes." Aunt Cai, Lu Zhen and other attendants retreated, and the queen continued: "You sat on the position of the head mother of the general's mansion because the family has strong financial resources, and because Zhonglin is interested in you and insists on marrying you as his wife. And my position as the harem housemother is because of my adoptive father, Zhonglin's biological father. ”
With no one else around, Zheng Tong easily said his adoptive father's name: "The prince and young master who shook the imperial court more than 20 years ago, Ye Zhiguang. ”
