Chapter 53 Reactions

The people in the palace who knew that Yue Qingning was left in the palace felt that Yue Qingning was in trouble, but Yue Qingning was not afraid at all, but regarded it as a reward, and was grateful to the Queen Mother, so it seemed that the Queen Mother was mean.

"The girl's mouth is so clever, of course the Queen Mother left the girl because she liked the girl, let's go, don't delay the hour." Mama Wu gritted her teeth and said, turned around and led Yue Qingning to walk out.

In the main hall of Fengzao Palace, the queen had just gotten up, and Xiuluan said to her when she helped the queen make up: "Niangniang, early in the morning, Mama Wu, who was next to the queen mother, went to Miss Yue's house to call her up, saying that she was asked to go to Mama Su to listen to the training. ”

The queen frowned slightly: "Mama Su? ”

Mama Su is the strictest discipline in the palace, after three dynasties, she has a lot of prestige in the palace, and even many masters of the harem have been trained by her when they enter the palace, and they are very respectful to her.

Mama Su is the most iron-faced and selfless, she doesn't eat oil and salt, and her methods of discipline are also ruthless, and ordinary people can't stand her filing.

Xiuluan was a little worried: "Niangniang, should we help Miss Yue, she is so delicate, she will definitely not be able to stand Mama Su's methods." ”

The queen thought about it, unhurriedly painted bluestone dai for herself, and chuckled: "How do you know that she can't stand it?" It's good to let her suffer it, if she marries the prince in the future, she still has to suffer such a thing, so it's better to adapt to it earlier. ”

Xiuluan stopped in surprise and asked in a low voice, "Niangniang wants Miss Yue to marry His Royal Highness the Prince?" But didn't the emperor promise the daughter of Prime Minister Liu's family as the crown princess? ”

"Isn't the position of the side concubine still there?" The queen's eyes looked deeply at herself in the bronze mirror.

Gorgeous and graceful, the charm is still the same, but the fine lines at the corners of her eyes still betray her age.

When she was young, she was as beautiful as Yue Qingning, and she was shocked, but in this deep palace, her thoughts were heavy, and her face was no longer as usual.

"Why does Niangniang value Miss Yue so much?" Xiuluan remembered that since the isolated autumn banquet, after Yue Qingning entered the palace with Chu Hanye, he was full of praise for her, and often inquired about her news, and was especially happy when she learned that Yue Qingning was not Chu Hanye's maid but her sister.

The queen blocked the phoenix crown that Xiuluan was about to put on for her, and pointed her finger on the ordinary hairpin ring on the side, asking Xiuluan to change it for herself.

"The emperor chose the daughter of the prime minister because the queen mother proposed to let the Liu family contain the crown prince. Miss Yue is delicate and smart, although her background is not high, but she is backed by the wild king, and she is more beautiful than the Prime Minister's Mansion. With such a lovely person by Yu'er's side, he is considerate of him and plans for him, which will definitely help him consolidate his position. ”

After finishing the makeup, he came to the main hall and accepted the invitation of the harem concubines.

Yue Qingning followed Mama Wu to Xiufang Pavilion, which is a place dedicated to teaching rules to palace maids, not only a training room, but also a place for tea tasting, illustration, and embroidery.

Yue Qing stood under the main hall of Xiufang Pavilion, and Mama Wu beside her silently retreated.

She waited for a while, and a pair of embroidered green bamboo silk shoes quietly appeared in her sight.

Yue Qingning was a little frightened, why didn't this person make a sound when he walked.

Raising his head and looking at the comer, he was about fifty years old, with a serious and majestic face, and a dignified and steady posture.

"The old body sees Miss Yue." Slightly blessed, his eyes drooped, and even if he saluted to the superior, he did not show any humility.

Yue Qingning was impressed in her heart, and hurriedly stretched out a hand to help her: "Mama Su is exempt." ”

"Today, the Queen Mother told the old body to teach the girl the virtues of women, so let's start in this training room." Mama Su didn't talk too much nonsense, didn't talk politely to her or greeted her, and went straight to the point.

Yue Qingning saw that there was a chair next to her, and was about to sit down to listen to the training, but Mama Su turned around as if she had eyes behind her back, and her eyes swept over sharply, making Yue Qingning stunned.

"Girl, there is no reason to sit and listen to the training, please stand at the bottom of the hall and listen."

Yue Qingning instantly had the feeling of being punished by the head teacher for standing to listen to the class in class, and she was a little sad, but she didn't dare not listen.

Although this Mama Su looks serious, she must be extremely positive in her temperament, and she must not be standing to embarrass her.

Yue Qingning stood obediently, and a younger palace maid next to her came out with a bunch of books and handed them to Yue Qingning.

"Today is the first day of the training, the girl has read these books first, and after reading them, we can start reasoning."

The thick pile of books stacked together could be as high as Yue Qingning's calves, and she actually read them in one day.

Yue Qingning was not in a hurry, and flipped through those books: "Analects", "Book of Songs", "Zengguang Xianwen", ......

Her father took her to read these books when she was a child, and it just so happened that she remembered them well, and she still remembers the contents of these books clearly.

This Mama Su probably thought that she had never read a book, so she took these books out.

Because of these basic books, everyone in the capital should read.

"Mama Su, we can move on to the next stage, I have read all these books."

Mama Su slowly raised her head and looked Yue Qingning up and down.

"It seems that Miss Yue is full of poetry and books, and she is very knowledgeable?"

"I don't dare to be knowledgeable, but I have read all the books that the sons and sons of the following people have read, so let's save time and speed up the process."

She didn't worry about not going to the shop for a day, so she left the palace as soon as she could.

As soon as the words fell, she suddenly heard a "pop" sound from above, Yue Qingning was startled, and looked up, Mama Su was holding a ring ruler in her hand, looking at herself angrily.

"I look at how many talented and well-read people are not proficient in poetry, books and etiquette since childhood. Miss Yue, is it arrogant and unbearable for such a trivial matter? ”

Yue Qingning didn't mean to be proud, she just wanted to hurry up and take the next step, and she was a little aggrieved by Mama Su's words.

However, what Mama Su said was not unreasonable, Yue Qingning did not refute, respectfully blessed her body, and replied: "Mama Su is right." ”

Mama Wu, who was beside the Queen Mother, watched from the sidelines, and came forward to say to Mama Su: "Mama Su, the Queen Mother said, Miss Yue doesn't know the rules very much, Mama Su must teach her a good lesson for a while, if she teaches the girl politely, the Queen Mother will definitely be rewarded." ”

His eyes ambiguously gestured to Mama Su.

Yue Qingning snorted coldly in her heart, the Queen Mother made it clear that she wanted to rectify herself and make herself feel bad, so she simply didn't hide it at all.

Mama Su didn't even look at Mama Wu, flipped through the book by herself, and responded lightly: "The old body knows that it should be taught like this, and Mama Wu will go back and let the Queen Mother worry about it." ”

Mama Wu was a little anxious when she saw that Mama Su didn't understand what she meant at all, but she had always known Mama Su's temperament, so she could only look at Yue Qingning stupidly, turned around and walked out of the training room.

Then Mama Su began to teach Yue Qingning the story of Xuande, an ancient and modern woman, and for a whole day, the two of them stood opposite each other like this, and Yue Qingning's legs were numb and sore.

When she walked out of the training room, Yue Qingning felt that her legs were not her own, and Bihuan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said distressedly: "This Mama Su is too ruthless, she didn't let the girl sit and rest for a moment all day." ”

Yue Qingning helped Bihuan and asked her not to continue.

"Mama Su stood with me for a day, and she kept saying that she should work harder than me."

Looking back at Mama Su, after packing up the manuscript, she walked out dignifiedly, not at all like Yue Qingning was paralyzed as if she was disabled, she was like a nobody.

Yue Qingning hurriedly asked Bihuan to help herself to Mama Su, and reluctantly bent down to salute and said, "Mama has worked hard today, and I have learned a lot after listening to the preaching for a day." ”

Mama Su paused, her expression was cold, and she said slightly: "Girl, go back and soak your feet in hot water, you have to stand tomorrow." ”

Bihuan was anxious when she heard it: "Isn't tomorrow embroidery?" Why do you still need to stand, how can this be embroidered well......"

Mama Su ignored them and left on her own.

"Girl, this Mama Su obviously got the instructions of the Queen Mother to deliberately make things difficult for you, let's write to the prince and ask the prince to save the girl out." Bihuan looked at Yue Qingning's feet, and through the shoes, she could see that the feet were swollen like pig's trotters.

The master and servant returned to the side hall, and Bihuan complained while bringing hot water to Yue Qingning to soak her feet.

Yue Qingning rarely saw Bihuan's resentful look, "giggled" twice, and suddenly held Bihuan's little face: "Okay, Bihuan, your young lady and I are not such stupid people, the Queen Mother gave me a gift for nothing." ”

Bihuan was confused, not knowing what Yue Qingning meant by this.

Yue Qingning smiled mysteriously: "You'll know after a while." ”

Anyway, after listening to a day's training, everyone thought that Yue Qingning was going to complain bitterly, but they didn't expect her to be happy.

When the emperor heard that Yue Qingning was left in the palace by the Queen Mother to learn the rules, he was a little curious, and came to the queen's palace to see Yue Qingning's reaction.

Seeing that Bihuan helped Yue Qingning, who was happy, to return to the side hall, he asked the queen with some surprise: "This Yue girl is quite special." ”

"Yes, I heard that Mama Su let her stand and listen to the training for a day today, she was stunned and didn't relax at all, she is a patient person." After speaking, the queen asked Xiuluan to give Yue Qingning an ointment to invigorate blood and dissolve stasis.

The emperor looked at the queen with deep meaning, and suddenly asked her: "Today's queen's dress is different from the past, she is a little cleaner, why don't you even wear a phoenix crown?" ”

"Back to the emperor, some time ago, the concubines often felt a headache, and it happened that Miss Yue helped the concubines look at it when she entered the palace, saying that the bun combed on weekdays was too complicated, and the phoenix crown was too heavy, so the headache was pressed out, so the concubine only made it simpler, and the headache was really much better."

The queen lowered her eyebrows and brushed her sideburns, a little shy. This was the first time she had not met the emperor with formal makeup and hair.
