Chapter 122: Learning the Law of Etiquette
What Yuan Lie said, although it was not very affectionate, was indeed reasonable, and Meng Yu nodded:
"Okay, I remember. Thank you General Yuan for the reminder. ”
As he spoke, Meng Yu prepared to go to Cheng Dashan, who had rushed back.
"Meng Yu, I'm about to start and go out to Tuguhun."
Meng Yu's steps forward:
"Then please be more careful with General Yuan, you are a great hero of the Tang Kingdom, and the Tang Kingdom cannot live without you."
With that, Meng Yu continued to raise his feet and walk forward.
Yuan Lie still wanted to catch up and say something, but when he thought of the whip she had swung before, he stopped again, and just watched her figure get smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
It was not the first time Meng Yu had entered the palace, but the last time he came, it was to listen to the conversation between Luo Shen and the crown prince.
That is, Meng Yu pretended to be a palace maid and entered the palace, so that it was the person who was still standing behind her at the moment.
This time, Meng Yu didn't know why she entered the palace again.
Meng Yu suddenly lost his sense of direction about his future life.
"Lord Yong'an, the queen mother instructed you to learn etiquette in Xue Mi Palace in the future, please follow the slave maid."
A delicate-looking palace maid came to greet Meng Yu.
Meng Yu recognized her, the last time she followed Li Fu to Zhang Jieyu's palace, she saw her, it seems that Zhang Jieyu took the initiative to teach her from the emperor.
"In this way, thank you sister."
Meng Yu gave her a blessing and followed her to Xue Mi Palace.
In the Xue Mi Palace, Zhang Jieyu was standing in the main hall waiting for her, between her eyebrows and eyes, she was not as happy as when Meng Yu and Li Fu came last time.
Meng Yu chuckled in his heart:
"It's miserable, she probably will sprinkle the anger of the Li family's suffering on my head."
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Jieyu opened her mouth, she confirmed Meng Yu's guess:
"My poor niece has been thinking about meeting who she has lost to, but when it came to the day of her marriage, she didn't wait for an explanation from Yuan Lie's mouth. Today, I'll see it first. Sure enough, she is a lovely person, and I don't think she loses if she loses. ”
Listening to Zhang Jieyu's yin and yang strange words, Meng Yu hurriedly knelt down:
"Meng Yu met Niangniang, what Niangniang just said, the little woman really doesn't know where to start, and I hope Niangniang will say it clearly."
"Lord Yong'an, in front of me, you don't have to act anymore. It is rumored in the palace that you and General Zhenguo have already secretly agreed, and in my opinion, it is more than that, maybe it has already been secretly knotted. ”
Meng Yu was shocked:
"Niangniang, this must be someone else chewing on the root of the tongue, you must not believe the rumors. I came to Beijing this time just to follow the emperor's will and implore my mother to believe me. ”
Zhang Jieyu snorted:
"Look at what scares you, I won't help you, my niece can't marry General Yuan, it's her own bad life, it's the same with you. Alright, Xiangmei, lead the county lord to her room to have a look. ”
The palace maid who had led Meng Yu over before nodded at Zhang Jieyu, then turned around and walked to Meng Yu's side, and said with a smile:
"Lord Yong'an, please follow Xiangmei."
Meng Yu spread out her limbs and lay in the room where Xiangmei led her, her heart was gloomy.
It is said in the book that the battle between women is more terrible than the fight on the battlefield, Meng Yu thinks that she will not die here in this life, right?
After seeing that the hour was still early, no, it was better to go to the Hanlin Academy to find Wei Chixing and see if he knew the temperament of the emperor's concubines.
Knowing herself and knowing her opponent can survive a hundred battles, and she can't leave her life here.
Meng Yu secretly cated out of his side room next to Xuemi Palace, and asked all the way before finding the Hanlin Academy.
She casually caught a man who was immersed in a book inside, and poked his head with the brush on the desk:
"Brother, is Wei Chixing here?"
The man was writing well, and suddenly someone poked his head, and he just wanted to get angry, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Meng Yu's extremely smart and charming face, his fire immediately dissipated, and his plain face immediately turned red:
"Girl, Lord Wei Chi is inside, I'll help you shout."
Meng Yu waited at the door for a while, and Wei Chixing hurried out of it.
Meng Yu hurriedly greeted him happily and patted him on the shoulder:
"Brother Wei Chi, long time no see, are you okay?"
Wei Chixing had never seen Meng Yu in women's clothes, at first glance, she was a little dazzling, he settled down, and hurriedly pulled her to the side to avoid people:
"Meng Yu, you are not a man now, you must pay attention to your words and deeds."
"Oh, I see. Are you available now? I'll ask you about something. ”
Wei Chixing's eyes glanced around, not daring to look at Meng Yu's face:
"Of course I'm free, you come with me."
He took Meng Yu to a library full of books:
"There's no one here, what's the matter, you ask?"
"Wow, Wei Chixing, there are so many books here, do you have a script? When I'm bored, I can come over and have a look. ”
Meng Yu looked up at so many books, his eyes brightened.
Wei Chixing coughed:
"How can there be a script? The biographical materials of the previous dynasties or the writings of various schools are included here, and you will definitely not like to read them. ”
"Is there a war book then? I also love to read military books. ”
"Look at the book of soldiers, you go to Yuan Lie to borrow it, he has a lot of it."
As soon as Meng Yu heard this name, his face sank:
"Brother Wei Chi, don't mention him in front of me in the future."
When Wei Chixing heard this, his mind didn't turn:
"You two have a falling out?"
Meng Yu pursed his lips:
"Yes, we are now back on our respective tracks. By the way, I don't have to talk to you, I came here to learn etiquette, and I inevitably have to deal with the ladies of the palace, you have been in the palace, but you know what hobbies and taboos they have, help me summarize and summarize, and I will deal with it in the future. ”
Wei Chixing originally wanted to ask her what happened to Yuan Lie, but seeing that she deliberately changed the topic, it was not good to keep asking:
"I don't know much about this, I'm going to ask the chamberlains, they should know better. Well, tomorrow is still this hour, and you will come to me again. I'll give you a note, which will clearly write down the places you need to pay attention to when meeting each room lady for your reference. How is it? ”
Meng Yu smiled and nodded:
"Brother Wei Chi is the most considerate and prudent in doing things, so it couldn't be better, thank you, Brother Wei Chi."
Meng Yu said, and was about to pat Brother Wei Chi on the shoulder and go back.
"Meng Yu, the last time you came to my house, your face was pale, and you fainted again, what happened? Later, you were taken away, I thought it was Yuan Lie, but it didn't take long for Yuan Lie to come to me to look for you. When I asked him later, he wouldn't tell me. Could you please tell me today? ”
Meng Yu scratched his ears:
"Brother Wei Chi, it's actually not a big deal. I just got into a fight with him, I didn't fight, and I got some internal injuries. Later, I was rescued by my brother whom I recognized in Chang'an. But don't worry, my internal injuries have healed, and Brother Wei Chi doesn't have to worry about it anymore. ”
"How could Yuan Lie hurt you?"
When Wei Chixing heard Meng Yu's words, he felt that she must be lying, and his tone was dissatisfied.
"That's really it. But he was also careless. Okay, Wei Chixing, I won't mention him in the future, I hope this is the last time you and I will talk about him again. I'll go first. I'll come back to you tomorrow at this time. ”
Meng Yu left with light steps, leaving Wei Chi Xing alone in a daze.
"Okay, walk, sit, lie down, all have courtesy."
The female instructor told Meng Yu in a very gentle tone about the points of attention in her daily behavior.
To Meng Yu's ears, this is much more powerful than the lullaby in the mouth of the nurse when he was a child.
It didn't take long for her to be unable to hold on, and she crouched on the desk, snoring slightly.
"What kind of body is it when you sleep and snore?"
The female instructor took a small bamboo stick and knocked on Meng Yu's desk very loudly, which woke Meng Yu up.
"County Lord, you are going to marry Tuyuhun on behalf of our Tang Kingdom, the old man knows that you used to be used to being casual in your hometown, but now we only have three or four months left, please County Lord must have a correct attitude and learn etiquette well, okay?"
Meng Yu hurriedly sat upright:
"I will study hard and never sleep again."
The face of the female teacher looked better:
"Okay, then I'll continue, county lord, please listen carefully."
Meng Yu supported his cheeks with one hand, but his eyes drifted out of the window.
Suddenly, her eyes were drawn to a yellow, yellow, and white object.
The thing was climbing up the big tree outside the window, and the target seemed to be a bird's nest above.
"It's only been a long time since the beginning of spring, why did the snake wake up so early?"
Thinking of this, Meng Yu couldn't hold back his curiosity and rushed out at once.
The female instructor was stunned, and after reacting, she stomped her feet in the back:
"County Lord, where are you going? Come back soon. It's class time. ”
Meng Yu didn't listen to her, she lifted her breath lightly, took off into the air, and flew to the treetops.
When I looked down, there was a bird's nest on it, and three turquoise eggs lay quietly inside.
The golden python spat out the letter slowly and methodically, and was about to crawl to the bird's nest, Meng Yu didn't want to hurt this beautiful snake, but he didn't want the bird's eggs to be swallowed alive like this.
She thought about it, picked up the whip, and whipped it against the tree, trying to scare the snake back to its lair with a loud sound.
But this snake is actually as thick as Yuan Lie, and Meng Yu doesn't welcome it so much, and it still swims up vigorously.
Meng Yu broke a branch and poked its head, shouting as he poked:
"Go down, go down."
Suddenly, a man in a pale yellow uniform shouted below:
"Who is so bold as to dare to hit Huang Yu'er with a branch?"
Meng Yu poked his head out and frightened a spirit, the person standing below was actually the crown prince.
She hurriedly jumped off the tree:
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you raised this snake?"
"It's not a snake, it's a topstone."
As he spoke, he nodded to the guard who followed him, who quickly climbed up the tree and grabbed the python into the silk bag.
"Who are you? Why have I never met you? ”
The prince's tone was still full of dissatisfaction.
"Back to the prince, the little girl came from Mohuo City, and she just entered the palace yesterday. Before the Chinese New Year, the emperor gave me the title of 'Yong'an County Lord', and let me marry Tuyuhun. I'm coming to the palace now because I'm here. ”
The prince looked Meng Yu up and down presumptuously, and said contemptuously:
"No wonder she doesn't understand the rules so much, and she dares to go up to the tree to beat me Huang Yu'er, it turns out that she is from a remote town, but she can't get on the stage. Raise your head for Hongu, and let me see if you look like a country kid. ”
Meng Yu pouted his head and ignored him.
"Tell you to look up, do you hear me?"
The prince was very angry when he saw that Meng Yu dared to disobey him.
"The little girl is indeed extremely ugly, and she does not dare to stain the eyes of the prince. The prince still don't look at it. Let the little girl go back and continue the ceremony. ”
Meng Yu threw his whole body on the ground.
"Hey, I don't believe it yet."
As he spoke, the prince squatted down and reached out to pull Meng Yu's bun, and lifted her face back from pain.
Meng Yu got angry all of a sudden, and was about to ignore the person who dragged her.
The person in front of him was already stunned, he let go of Meng Yu, and said to the guards on the side:
"Let's go, go back and feed Huang Yu'er some chicken. It's all you, it's too hot to make the warm pavilion, it woke up so early. ”
