Chapter 11: Lai Feiyan was beaten
Following.
When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone through the clouds, everyone in Baifu had been waiting in the front yard for a long time.
Today is the first day of the official opening of the teaching, the etiquette in the palace of the nobles of the major families, and the houses are naturally self-respecting, respectfully waiting, waiting to listen to the teachings.
The lengthy words of instruction were mainly aimed at Bai Yanqing and Lai Feiyan, and the rest of the people were just listening to two sentences.
Mama Sun is old in the end, and she was dragged by Bai Yanqing for most of the day before, and she looked at it today, she was a little in good spirits. Therefore, many of the charters were relayed by the accompanying palace maids.
The rules of the harem have always been strict, and there is no room for mistakes. Therefore, the palace maid's statement was also very cautious. Its content includes the ceremony performed by the show girl to see the saint after entering the palace, and the ceremony that the show girl should perform when she meets the concubines of the harem. And because of the different levels of concubines, the rituals performed are also different, and so on.
In addition, because this draft is to choose concubines for several princes of appropriate age, among the daughters of the family, in addition to the etiquette in the palace, the requirements for the appearance and figure, dress, and virtue of each girl are also extremely strict. You must first cultivate your body, and then you must cultivate your appearance.
"The little girl dares to ask this sister, which princes are choosing concubines this time?"
After listening to it for a long time, Lai Feiyan finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked hurriedly.
As everyone knows, when she opened her mouth, she brought trouble to herself. After all, the palace maid also said that cultivating one's behavior, training one's heart, and grinding one's patience are the most important ways to do things in the palace.
Now, Lai Feiyan is so impatient, so impatient, what's the matter, she has to suffer a little.
"Palm."
Grandma Sun didn't lift her eyelids, she spoke directly, and ordered someone to punish Lai Feiyan.
Before Lai Feiyan could react, she saw the accompanying palace maid on the side, walked straight in front of her and gave her a heavy slap. She was dizzy and stunned for a long time. When she came back to her senses, she was crying and shouting, looking like she was going to fight with the palace maid.
Lai Feiyan has always been favored by Ren's family, how could she have suffered this grievance? How have you ever been beaten in front of everyone?
"Why did you hit me?"
Until this moment, Lai Feiyan still didn't understand what she was wrong about, and why Grandma Sun ordered the palace maid to slap her.
Bai Furong on the side was distressed when she saw her daughter being beaten. But seeing that Grandma Sun's face was not good, she didn't dare to speak without permission, so she had to turn her eyes for help to Mrs. Bai.
Seeing that Lai Feiyan was beaten, Ren was already a little worried, and when he saw Bai Furong's anxious face, he was anxious, and he couldn't care about those rules, so he raised his feet and wanted to step forward, and was about to argue with Grandma Sun, but unexpectedly, Grandma Sun opened her mouth first.
"The first rule in the palace is: if the master does not speak, the slave and maid will never speak first."
Grandma Sun said sharply, and then glanced at Ren lightly as a warning.
Seeing this, Ren had to retract his feet in a daze, and he didn't dare to say anything else, after all, for now, they were still counting on Grandma Sun.
Lai Feiyan on either side cried all over the place, and no one dared to say a word.
In the huge courtyard, except for the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, the rest was Lai Feiyan's cry, from high to low, from deep to shallow, and finally only a small sobbing and choking.
Others may just be watching Lai Feiyan being beaten, and they didn't notice the words between Grandma Sun's words.
Slaves?
Oh, it's funny tight!
Bai Yanqing lowered her head slightly, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
What Mama Sun gave to Lai Feiyan is not just a reprimand!
Mama Sun's sentence of "slave maid", the people of the Ren family who were in a hurry did not hear the clue, but Bai Yanqing, a bystander, really listened to it.
It is very important to observe words and looks. It is more important to stay in danger.
For example, at this moment, everyone's attention is on Lai Feiyan, and only Bai Yanqing is alone, who heard the meaning of Mama Sun's words.
Slaves? If you are a slave or a maid, how can you be a master one day?
Does that count...... Grandma Sun has already condemned Lai Feiyan to death?
"From the moment you step through the gates of the palace, you must treat yourselves as deaf, blind and dumb! The masters open their mouths to ask, and you can only speak back, but if the masters don't speak, don't be smart! ”
Mama Sun's eyes flashed at that time, and she said majestically.
Although Grandma Sun's words are not very good, Li'er is such a reason. Clear-eyed people know it, but there are always those who don't remember what they eat, and they don't remember to fight, and they want to ask for trouble.
"What did Mama say about this? I waited for the palace to be elected to the princess, not for slaves and maids, why should I be so compromised? ”
Lai Feiyan had stopped crying at this time, and there was still a little dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction on her face. At that time, she didn't realize what she said!
"Hmph, princess? Just wait! ”
Mama Sun was too lazy to argue with the ignorant people, so she only cheered up and handed over some brief regulations to the little palace maid to relay, and then sat quietly aside, staring at Bai Yanqing and Lai Feiyan to learn the rules and etiquette.
The princess?
Lai Feiyan thinks it's really beautiful! Did she think that she entered the palace to be the princess? How can she be better than those ladies and noble daughters? Is her mother clan strong enough? Or is she beautiful herself? Or is she a brilliant talent?
She didn't, she didn't have anything! The only thing she has is the backer of the Bai family, and the only thing she has is to look up to people and send people under the fence! Of course, Lai Feiyan probably never felt that the three of them mother and daughter were under the fence, after all, she had already claimed to be the young lady of Baifu!
The incident of Lai Feiyan being slapped is just a small episode. Mama Sun won't care, and the rest of the Bai family won't care, I'm afraid that only Bai Furong and Ren's are a little distressed, but what's the use? After all, Lai Feiyan can't get into the eyes of others!
From beginning to end of this matter, Bai Yanqing did not say a word. She just stood aside silently and watched quietly, taking in the emotions on the faces of everyone present.
Bai Yanqing didn't like Lai Feiyan in the first place, and she was not so generous, so naturally from beginning to end, she never thought of standing up for Lai Feiyan. What kind of character Lai Feiyan is, she is only worthy of what kind of face others treat her!
Although Mama Sun said very little today, only a few short sentences, it also gave Bai Yanqing a rough idea in her heart. Look at this situation, the road after entering the palace is afraid that it will be difficult to walk!
As the twilight grew thicker, everyone stopped to catch their breath.
Bai Mansion was busy, and Bai Yanqing and Lai Feiyan, who were tired for a day, also had to rest at that time.
Bai Yanqing didn't show anything, and even his face didn't show even half of his tiredness. But Lai Feiyan's little face was full of dissatisfaction and resentment.
Listening to the casual palace maid who said that they were allowed to rest on their own, Lai Feiyan led the maids around her without looking back and went back to the small courtyard where she lived.
Bai Yanqing was not in a hurry to leave, and whispered a few words to Cai Xing. Then, Caixing hurriedly left, and not long after, Caixing appeared again, and at this time, she was holding a delicate small porcelain bottle in her hand.
"Why hasn't the White Maiden left yet?"
The palace maid who accompanied Mama Sun was a little surprised when she saw that Bai Yanqing was still standing in the courtyard, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute her.
"Auntie is polite."
Bai Yanqing blessed her body slightly, as a return of the courtesy.
The little girl saw that her grandma was not in good spirits today, and when she saw her return to the house, her steps were a little vain, thinking that the little girl was willful and tired of her grandmother yesterday. And today, Mama worked hard all day, and the little girl ordered someone to take some health pills, and I hope Mama will not dislike it. ”
Bai Yanqing said slightly apologetically, with genuine concern and worry on her face.
"The white girl has a heart, and the slave and maid thanked the girl for the grandmother."
The palace maid had a little warmth on her face.
Bai Yanqing didn't stay long, and only handed over the body pill to Mama Sun's palace maid, and then said goodbye and left.
This move is both sincere and not flattering, not only caring about Mama Sun, but not too enthusiastic and annoying, and reasonable in advance and retreat.
Mama Sun in the house took the health pill from the palace maid's hand, and stood at the window looking at Bai Yanqing in the distance, her eyes full of approval. This girl was with herself yesterday, and she was tired, but in fact, why wasn't she tired? Although she didn't show a trace of tiredness, looking at her back when she left, it was not difficult to see that she was a little staggering. It is really not easy for her to be able to hold on, straighten her back and practice the palace rites for a day.
After returning to Nian Chu Xiaozhu, Bai Yanqing was not in a hurry to rest, but went through the palace etiquette learned today in his mind again before lying down with peace of mind.
Bai Yanqing is the daughter of the Bai family, backed by the two families of Ji and Bai, it is said that there is no need to work so hard, just with the names of these two families, she can enter the palace with peace of mind to be elected, even if the palace etiquette is unsatisfactory, others dare not embarrass her. But she has her own calculations in her heart, and she knows that if she wants to be noble in front of others, she depends on not only the scenery brought by the family behind her.
As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and you can only rely on yourself in the wind and rain.
It was late at night, some people fell asleep, and some people tossed and turned.
At that time, in the White Mansion, in a certain courtyard, there were a few women's roars from time to time, as for why, although no one knows for the time being, but this huge White Mansion has always been short of good deeds.
Early the next morning, Bai Yanqing just woke up in a daze, and was hit by Caixing, who broke in in a hurry. Thanks to her quick reach, Kankan'er brushed sideways with Caixing.
"Who's stepping on your tail again?"
Bai Yanqing helplessly stretched out her hand and held Cai Xing, who was almost falling.
"Miss, miss, something happened to Miss!"
Cai Xing finally stabilized his figure, picked up the cup on the table, and took a sip of water before he gasped and said urgently.
"You forgot all the etiquette taught by your aunt in the palace yesterday? If you are so reckless again, I will not take you into the palace. ”
Bai Yanqing was obviously not interested in the "big thing" in Caixing's mouth, she frowned slightly, and reprimanded Caixing.
In this draft, there is an additional grace: that is, the ladies of all major families can bring one or two personal maidservants into the palace together. The premise is that the personal maid who enters the palace this time must undergo strict training. The maidservants have to learn the etiquette rules of the palace people in the court, and compared with their masters, they need to learn and pay attention to more palace rules, which are more cumbersome!
