Seven days later, the people in the palace really sent a car to pick up Feng Zhirong into the palace as promised.

The woman's entry into the palace to study was a suggestion made to the emperor by Empress Yuansheng, who founded the country with her husband, not long after Daye founded the country.

At that time, the border of Daye was not very stable, and there were even Daye women in the north who wore armor to help the country resist the enemy, and at that time, both men and women with meritorious services could be entitled, and their heirs, both men and women, would be recruited to study in official schools respectively;

However, if a woman can only study and lacks general etiquette and the ability to control the middle feed, it will be difficult to find a good family in the future, or it will be difficult to take charge of the inner house and support the door with her husband.

So the Empress Yuansheng proposed to let the daughters of the meritorious people go to the palace to study, in addition to the general reading, literacy can enter the women's official school at a very young age or hire a husband at home to teach, and at the age of ten can also enter the palace to learn further skills.

It must be necessary to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the poetry of the sages, and the female commandments, and then they will be taught strict etiquette norms, such as how to feast, how to hold a banquet, and then the management of the feed, as well as food and cooking, and even basic medical principles and related skills.

Not every skill had to be mastered, but only basic skills, etiquette, and management were the first priority, and the women who came out of the palace also gained a lot of value because of their rigorous training and qualifications in the palace, and as they grew older, they were constantly seeking marriage.

In this way, the woman's parents have a better chance of finding a good family for their own pearl, and therefore it can be regarded as the grace of the palace to the daughters of the ministers who are valued. After all, some of those heroes are also from poor families, or families with poor family backgrounds, and they are not as good as the families with a long history who can generally have full effort and ability to educate their children, so although this kind of system seems simple, it is also a great favor for them.

After this suggestion was put forward by the Empress of the Liberty Yuan, the emperor ordered the empress to lead the female officials in the palace to handle it.

In later generations, there were also vacancies in the later generations, when the concubines with higher ranks, or the emperor named them; There were also concubines who had a low rank, but after being named by the emperor to be responsible, they continued to be favored, and later sat on the back seat, so this job became a hot job in the harem, and there were even senior concubines who tried every means to "share their worries" for the queen.

And now that the emperor and the queen are very emotional, there are few disturbances in the palace, and everything is as usual and has not changed much.

According to the rules, women who enter the palace to study cannot bring their own personal maids, mainly because the palace is simply a place for the ladies of those heroes to study, and is not responsible for educating their personal maids.

If you want to have a well-bred maid, usually the rich family will buy the maids with a long contract for small training, and even more so, they will go to the government to register and buy a death deed maid who cannot be redeemed.

For example, Bai Ze was originally to help his father who was framed and provoked official Fei to turn over money, and she was only six years old at the time, so she volunteered to go to the government to mortgage the death deed maid and help her father repay the debt to relieve the family from prison. Later, not long after Feng Zhirong was born, Zhou Youshao saw that she was diligent and sensible, and stayed in the Feng family for a long time, so Bai Ze waited by her side.

The carriage from the palace was very wide, and there were two young palace maids and a palace maid Hong Shu, who was about the same age as Cheng Ci, sitting in it.

Hong Shu led the two palace maids to Feng's house, followed by a number of famous guards and chamberlains, all of whom were one-on-one, and they didn't look neat. After Hong Shu took Feng Zhirong to visit the house, he asked the palace maid to wait for the short Feng Zhirong to get into the car, and he naturally followed, and there were guards and chamberlains on both sides of the car to escort the car.

Hong Shu waited for the two palace maids to also get into the car, and then ordered the young attendant who was in charge of driving the car to set off. At this time, after she glanced at Feng Zhirong, she bowed her eyes and said: "The slave maid Hong Shu is the palace maid next to the queen's mother, and she serves the queen's mother together with Sister Cheng Ci. ”

Feng Zhirong nodded and called, "Aunt Hong." ”

Hong Shu also bowed slightly and returned the salute, then continued: "Sister Cheng Ci is the palace maid in charge of Fenghua Palace, and the slave maid is appointed by the mother to be the palace maid in charge of Anxiu Palace. ”

Hong Shu didn't pay attention to whether Feng Zhirong understood or not, and continued: "Anxiu Palace is where Miss Feng and other heroes and ladies will live together in the future, one of these two girls is called Yuzhu and the other is called Fang Chun, and in the next three years, they will be close to Miss Miss, and even Miss will have to follow her if she wants to go home to save her relatives." ”

The two palace maids pointed to by Hong Shu seemed to be about fifteen years old, but the temperament exuded by their bodies was not comparable to ordinary maids, and it was difficult to compare with Yun Bi, who Feng Zhirong used to think was decent and generous.

Yuzhu and Fang Chun both look thin, and their posture is similar, that is, Yuzhu has double Danfeng eyes and a slightly square chin, while Fang Chun has a high nose bridge and a pair of good-looking attractive ears, both of them have good facial features, and they are very Peugeot. Seeing that Hong Shu introduced the little master he was going to serve in the next three years, he got up slightly in the fairly spacious carriage and bowed before sitting back again.

Feng Zhirong knew in her heart that the rules in the palace were strict, maybe these two palace maids were more than serving themselves, and they would wake up what was wrong with them, and they would report their words and deeds to the upper authorities in the future.

Hong Shu saw Feng Zhirong return the salute obediently and politely, and did not show any praise, and said: "In previous years, it was only after the palace banquet at the beginning of spring that the young ladies were accepted into the palace, but Your Majesty remembered that the hard work in Feng Zhuguo was high, so he asked the mother to give the young lady an extra grace, so that the young lady could enter the palace early today." ”

Feng Zhirong bowed slightly: "Grandfather also talked to Zirong about this matter, Zirong was able to enter the palace to study, but he received great grace, and Zirong didn't have to bear the painstaking efforts of the top." ”

Hong Shu seemed to be very satisfied with Feng Zhirong's reaction, and said: "After entering the palace, the slave maid will first take the young lady to Fenghua Palace to meet the queen's mother, and then lead the young lady to the room of Anxiu Palace." Miss's room was all sorted out yesterday, just wait for Miss to move in. ”

Feng Zhirong leaned over again and saluted: "Aunt Lao is bothered." ”

"It's a slave's business." The smile on Hong Shu's face was more gentle and natural than Fang Cai: "The slave maid once heard that Sister Cheng Ci praised Miss for being well-behaved and sensible, Miss is so polite, she will definitely be able to win the eyes of her mother." ”
