Chapter VI

When worshipping Jibai, the left hand is inside and the right hand is outside, which happens to be the opposite of the woman and the man, which also follows the custom of "male left and female right". Even if the king has a reward, it is enough to worship the good fortune of the woman. Bow twice more to indicate that the etiquette is lowered. The salute of goodbye is used between peers.

Bow your hand as a salute. In modern times, it is called "Zuoyi", which is the etiquette when the guest and the host meet. Arching and kneading are generally used in informal settings, and they are often used by people who are very familiar with them. )

The female officials also briefly introduced it, and hurriedly demonstrated it a few times, not to mention remembering, they are not familiar with it, and they are almost the same.

Shen Yuan was completely confused, originally just wanted to see what Daming Palace looked like, but how did she know that not only could she not see it, but she also had to learn this messy etiquette, and her back hurt from being tired.

However, the clothes of the court were fresh, and they were a little different from the clothes worn in Wu Xing.

Women were required to wear mattresses, mainly due to the social customs of the time. Wearing a skirt dress, plus half an arm, the foot is crested silk shoes, and the head is a flower bun.

A mattress skirt is a kind of clothing that connects an ultra-short top with a long skirt that is long to the waist, so it is also called a short skirt.

The neckline of the short mattress skirt is also varied, in addition to the round neckline, square neckline, oblique neckline, straight neckline, sweetheart neckline, there is also a collar.

I heard that at first, it was mostly worn by court concubines and kabukis, and after it appeared, eunuchs and noblewomen and folk women also followed suit.

A shirt that is slightly longer than a short skirt and is used as a separate blouse is called a shirt, and it is generally made of light and soft silk.

Wearing a shirt and a long skirt under it, you can not wear underwear in the flash, only cover the body with light gauze, and the skin on the upper body is faintly exposed, but there are not many such clothes in Wuxing, and Shen Yuan seems to be very fresh.

Wu Xing's clothes are mostly related to the weather, and modern global warming has also changed the weather, but in the Tang Dynasty, it was a real southern climate.

The weather is humid and hot, the clothes are breathable and cool, but the fabrics and patterns of Chang'an's clothes are different, they all say that ancient women are conservative, but this is not the case here, but you can show some collarbones, and then wear some jewelry to look better.

The three days passed quickly, whether they were fast or not, but they were finally over, and all the good sons changed their clothes and went to the palace in carriages. Shen Yuan was finally able to enter the palace, and the corners of her mouth raised a slight smile.

The palace is very large, there are countless palaces, Liangjiazi set off from the soup bath all the way into the palace in the north of Chang'an City, this palace is called Taiji Palace, it is the imperial palace built in the Sui Dynasty.

The terrain of Taiji Palace is defective, it is in the lowest depression, Chang'an often rains in summer, and the temperature is very high, so Taiji Palace is humid and hot, so the political center of the Tang Dynasty was later moved to Daming Palace.

Shen Yuan was stunned when she saw the three words Taiji Palace on the carriage, it turned out that she did not enter Daming Palace, but came to this Taiji Palace.

Shen Yuan still knows a lot about this place in the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, and the political center of the Tang Dynasty is in Daming Palace, but now it's better not to mention living in Daming Palace, and even Danfeng Gate can't be seen.

Since entering the Taiji Palace, Shen Yuan's anger has been unsmooth, and he has to learn complex etiquette every day, and he can't be idle for a moment.

Etiquette is only one aspect, serving tea and water, meals are also among them, and some female workers have to be learned.

Many of the sons of the good family who entered the Taiji Palace were also the daughters of the eunuch family, and where they had done it here, they were all complaining, and the surrounding atmosphere affected Shen Yuan's mood even more.

It's been half a month since I entered the Taiji Palace, and I'm very busy every day, if it weren't for the fact that there was a major banquet in the Daming Palace that needed to transfer these female officials, I am afraid that there would be no leisure for a while.

Finally, no one cared, Shen Yuan was like a canary releasing a cage, and quietly slipped out while everyone was not paying attention, although Taiji Palace is not as good as Daming Palace, but this is also the palace of the Great Sui Dynasty, and it is not a loss to go around.

All the way out, although the Taiji Palace is not as good as the Daming Palace, there are still a lot of Jin Wuwei patrolling, fortunately, Shen Yuan is a little clever, so he escaped Jin Wuwei and the palace maids and eunuchs in the Taiji Palace, but Shen Yuan, who was in a panic, actually got lost, and walked to a secluded pool. The back of the pond is surrounded by several large rocks, and there is a path next to the rocks, and you can get up close and personal with the pond by following the path.

Shen Yuan came to the pond along the path, there were some peach blossoms scattered in the pool, some white clouds floated around the round moon, reflected in the pond, and the arched bridge along the surrounding was also just imprinted in the water, which was somewhat similar to the mythical Heavenly Palace, plus the surrounding ancient buildings, but it had a different flavor.

Just when Shen Yuan was stunned, his head was smashed, he was in a bad mood recently, and he got lost when he wanted to go out for a walk.

It's hard to see the scenery and it's so unlucky, so he opened his mouth and scolded: "Who doesn't have long eyes, it's blind, and I can't see anyone." ”

Who knew that it was okay for Shen Yuan not to scold, and immediately after scolding, he was hit with several stones.

Shen Yuan searched around and found that there was a young man in red sitting on a peach blossom tree on the rock, although it was night, but the distance was not very far, Shen Yuan saw very clearly that the young man in red was gloating at himself, Shen Yuan was even more angry, picked up the stone on the ground and threw it back, and left the pool in a hurry.

After Shen Yuan left, the young man in red greeted the eunuch next to him: "Go and find out who this little lady is, Xiao Wang, it's the first time in my life that I've seen such a bold girl." ”

After saying that, he smiled wickedly and walked away.

When Shen Yuan returned to the residence, she found that everyone had already slept, so she quickly took off her clothes and lay down on the quilt, but she didn't feel sleepy at all, and carefully recalled the young man in red.

Although it was not very clear to see it at night, Shen Yuan still noticed the dragon-like pattern embroidered with gold thread on the clothes of the young man in red, although this Taiji Palace was not the center of power in the Tang Dynasty, but after all, it was also a palace, and the young man in red was gorgeously dressed, and he was by no means an ordinary person.

Shen Yuan now remembered that Shen Yuan was a little scared, but he couldn't stop the sleepiness, so Shen Yuan fell asleep deeply.

Since that day, Shen Yuan has been living a busy life, but the young man in red has come with the good news he wants to hear.

"Your Royal Highness has already inquired, that little lady is the niece of Wu Xing Shen Congdao, named Shen Yuan, Li Zhaodao Li Gong because of her extraordinary insight into painting, and once sent this little lady a few paintings, is the selected good family, and is now learning palace rules in Taiji Palace."

"It's interesting, I didn't expect to get a painting from Li Zhaodao himself."

"Your Highness doesn't know that this little lady was only a five-year-old child when she received Li Gong's painting, and it has been seven or eight years since now."

"Oh, that's more interesting, Xiao Wang wants to meet this strange woman for a while, you go, find a way to find him, Xiao Wang wants to see this little lady,"

The eunuch stepped back.
