Chapter 16 Ordered to enter the palace
In the fifth year of Yongzheng, June 20, the candidate show girl will enter the palace to receive a half-month etiquette training.
Because the main purpose of this training is to cultivate a Fujin with both ability and political integrity for the fourth elder brother, the people who participated in the training are all some noble women of the Eight Banners, and they are all noble people.
Arranged in the same room with Mu Yao, except for Shu Zheng is daughter of Erjitu, she is relatively young, only thirteen years old, so she always looks submissive.
Looking at the hosta's still somewhat immature face, Mu Yao had some mixed feelings in his heart, thirteen years old is still a child, but now he is forced to marry, it is really pitiful.
And the other, because of Fu Qing, Shuzheng is always estranged from Mu Yao, so the three of them stay in such a room, except for embarrassment.
"Sister Zheng, what a coincidence." Mu Yao stepped forward and tried to break the embarrassment, but Shuzheng still turned around and left as if he hadn't heard.
Seeing this, Mu Yao couldn't stay any longer, so he had to change into the prepared palace clothes, say hello to the hosta, and leave.
At this time, there were already more than a dozen people in the courtyard, and they would be given a lecture by the aunt in charge here in a while, and then their formal training would begin.
Mu Yao looked at it, most of these women were in groups of three or five, chatting enthusiastically on the side.
"Mama Su has arrived." A loud and powerful voice came in from outside, and everyone immediately fell silent, and then stood in the previously rehearsed formation.
Immediately after that, Mama Su appeared in front of everyone, she looked like she was in her early forties, she combed the double bun that a female official in the palace should have, and walked in front of everyone with her head held high, Mu Yao looked up at her, although she was just wearing a simple sauce-colored palace dress, she exuded an awe-inspiring demeanor from the inside out.
"Old slave, I've seen all the little masters." Mama Su spoke, her torch-like eyes glancing at everyone.
"Mama Su, you don't have to be polite, you have to worry about Mama in the future." A voice suddenly appeared in the crowd, and it was Tong Jia Lanzhen, the daughter of the general of the cavalry, who spoke, and everyone began to watch all this with lively eyes.
"The little master is polite." Mama Su smiled politely, and in a blink of an eye, she returned to her serious face, "But everyone, the old slave emphasizes to everyone that you can't speak at will without permission in the future, and you must report if you have a problem." ”
All of them immediately quieted down, they had long heard that Mama Su was notoriously strict, but they didn't expect that she wouldn't even give face to General Xiaocai.
"The prince's marriage is a major event related to our Qing Dynasty for thousands of generations, so in the next ten days, if the old slave has any offense, I hope you can understand." Mama Su said seriously, she really gave everyone a dismount.
The training is divided into three categories, appearance, speech and behavior, and etiquette required for various occasions, such as hand salute, kowtow salute, bun salute, etc.
Mu Yao had a headache when he heard it, the ancients were really troublesome.
After the general introduction, it is necessary to start the real training, as in many Qing court dramas, wearing flowerpot bottom shoes under his feet, with a porcelain bowl on his head, and starting to practice walking, which is commonplace for the Eight Banners nobles who are raised in the deep boudoir, but this is difficult for Mu Yao, his feet are broken for a while, and the bowl is broken for a while, which is simply embarrassing.
