After being intimidated by Gu Qingping, Mama Li seemed to remember that she had been ordered by her wife, and her every move was naturally what Mrs. meant, so she immediately became angry again, sat on the lower left of the main hall of Shangyang Palace, sat upright, and drank tea in an elegant posture.

She really lives up to the name of the Xie family's century-old family, and even an old servant can have such a posture.

Gu Qingping finished freshening up, went to the front of the hall, raised his right foot and was about to enter, who knew that Mama Li saw it, and said slowly:

"Wait."

Gu Qingping stopped and looked at her calmly.

Mama Li stood up, her pace was steady, and even the hem of her skirt did not make any waves, and even the hairpin on her head only shook slightly.

Mama Li looked at Gu Qingping: "Third Highness, when you entered the hall just now, your head was lowered by two inches, your waist was not straight enough, and you shook the pearl hairpin, which is very rude." Please do it all over again. ”

Gu Qingping glanced at her deeply and did as she was told.

Mama Li glanced at it and interrupted again: "Third Highness, your head is an inch higher, you are a concubine, and you can't raise your head too high when you enter and exit the high hall." Please do it again. ”

Just this action of entering the hall, Gu Qingping did it back and forth more than ten times, and Tao Yao watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but be tired for her.

Gu Qingping's face was calm, and he honestly repeated it a few times as Mama Li said before he passed the test.

Entering the temple is the real tediousness. When walking, the stride should not be too large, the skirt should not be lifted, the waist should be straight when sitting, the posture should be maintained, and the bead hairpin should not be shaken.

When it came to the tea stage, Mama Li asked her to hold the teacup, which was filled with boiling hot water, and after a little cooling, she added hot water again, and so on, Gu Qingping's ten fingertips were already burned red.

If his hand trembled, or if he lowered it by half an inch, Li Shi was whipped, and in the end, Gu Qingping's hand trembled slightly in pain, but he didn't dare to move.

Tao Yao felt distressed, and couldn't help but plead with Mama Li: "Mama, Your Highness is still young, these etiquettes are a little unbearable for Your Highness, can you let Your Highness slow down?" ”

The Li family still remembered that Tao Yao made her lose face in front of everyone in the morning, and when she heard this, she sneered: "The Third Highness is not young, in those poor families, His Highness is already married to a wife at such an age." If you don't learn it early, you won't even be able to get along with your relatives in the future. ”

Gu Qingping's heart trembled slightly, and he gave Tao Yao a look without a trace, Tao Yao's eyes were slightly red, and he glanced at Li Shi with slanted eyes, and went out to prepare tea.

At the end of the day's training, Gu Qingping freshened up, leaned on the couch, Tao Yao gave her medicinal wine, melted away the bruises on her arms, her tone was not good, and said: "The Li family is clearly a personal vendetta, the slave maid has been in the palace for so many years, and I have never seen any etiquette that tortures people like this!" ”

Gu Qingping was a little silent, and a little anxious, now that she was trapped in Shangyang Palace and couldn't get out, how could she complete the task given to her by the queen and worship Mr. Xuanji as a teacher, she was a little distracted, and when she heard Tao Yao's words, she sighed.

"Bear with her for a few days."

In the next few days, the Li family intensified, often with bamboo whips, and then punished kneeling, and did not allow Gu Qingping to eat.

At that time, she leaned on the soft pillow, pruned the branches of the new spring peach, and said in a flat tone: "It depends on whether she can pass this level." If it's over, it's good,"

"If not, then there will be no such thing as the third princess in this Taiyang Palace." As she spoke, there was a branch with three or two sparse peach blossoms.

Lin'an respectfully said yes.

Soon, this predicament ushered in the only dawn, when Tao Yao was cleaning up her makeup, she accidentally found that Gu Qingping's several hostas were missing, and they couldn't be found.

Sure enough, within a few days, most of her jewelry was gone, Tao Yao was in a hurry, but Gu Qingping laughed

She told Tao Yao: "If there is no accident, this is our only chance." ”

After speaking, she swaggered and took out the fine snow pisces jade pendant that Emperor Sheng Yuan gave her as a birthday gift, only to see that the jade pendant was carved from a whole piece of black jade, and the fine jade chips were carved into snowflakes and scattered on the jade pendant, and the two swimming fish were swimming in the snow, lifelike.

Gu Qingping deliberately said loudly: "Tao Yao, I heard that this Pisces jade pendant, just the jade crumbs on it, is worth ten taels of silver, it is very precious, it has been stolen in the palace recently, you be careful, put it away." ”

The outer clothes and skirts of the palace were delicate, and gradually went away, Gu Qingping glanced at the door of the hall with a smile, put the jade pendant into the makeup, and waited for the opportunity.

Sure enough, within a day, the jade pendant was gone.

She and Tao Yao glanced at each other, Tao Yao would run out of the side hall willingly, and Gu Qingping was in the hall and asked the Li family who had just arrived: "Mama, have you seen the jade pendant in this palace?" ”

A trace of panic flashed in Li's eyes: "Your Highness's things, how can the old slave see them." ”

Gu Qingping nodded in disappointment: "Mama, I'm not feeling well today, you can go back first." ”

The Li family wanted to reprimand her, but suddenly his heart became weak, and he hurriedly left Shangyang Palace.

After she left, Gu Qingping took the scissors that cut the clothes, cut them according to her wrist, she calculated the time, and fell down before Tao Yao came back.

The maids of Shangyang Palace cooperated and cried.

When Tao Yao came with Lin Xi, everyone in the palace knew that the third princess had committed suicide by cutting her wrists, and this matter was not trivial, and Cheng Hou personally went out of Fengqi Palace and rushed to Shangyang Palace to visit the rescued third princess.

The third princess had just walked away from the ghost gate, she had lost blood, her face was very pale, and she was weak when she leaned on the couch, but she sat on the edge of the couch and looked at her with her head down, but she was very satisfied.

Cheng Hou pretended to be angry: "Presumptuous! Gu Qingping, how can your parents easily harm themselves, if you follow Concubine Xu, where will you leave the palace and Your Majesty? What happened to make you so anxious? ”

Gu Qingping sobbed and didn't dare to answer.

Cheng asked again and again, and she cried and said: "Your Majesty, the birthday gift given by Your Majesty to your sons is gone, and your sons have lost the things given by Your Majesty, and they deserve death." ”

Cheng then asked, "What is it?" ”

Gu Qingping inadvertently looked at Mama Li who was hiding behind the crowd, and said with a white face: "Yes, it's a black jade jade pendant." ”

Cheng Hou cooperated with her: "It's so precious, it really should be investigated, come here, and thoroughly investigate Shangyang Palace." ”

Gu Qingping said in time: "Niangniang, although Mama Li taught her sons etiquette, she never stayed in Shangyang Palace, she ......"

Cheng Hou turned around, with a teasing smile in his eyes: "Of course, you have to check." ”
