For a few days, Zi Ning sneaked to the dining room at night, boiled medicine and cooked with Qianli, and learned a lot of difficult words from him in his spare time. Zi Ning wanted to meet the prince, and if he didn't even recognize the words, he would definitely look down on her. Qianli taught seriously, she also learned very hard, and she was extraordinary, and she made a lot of progress in calligraphy in just a few days.

Qianli's injuries are getting better day by day, although his voice is still hoarse, but he doesn't have much effort to speak, and the two of them communicate more, talking about everything. To Zi Ning's surprise, although Qianli was only Lu Gongzi's companion, he was full of poetry and books, had great ambitions, and was a person not to be underestimated.

Qianli was also amazed by Zi Ning's insight and courage, not only clever and intelligent, but also often had amazing words, and her thoughts and thoughts were very different from other women.

Although there is a difference between men and women, the two have become friends in the run-in, Zi Ning secretly feels relieved, in addition to the green ring in Dongyuan, she also has a good friend of Qianli, and she will not be lonely and lonely in the future.

Zi Ning had nothing to do for days, and practiced the Qi Acceptance Heart Method taught by Aunt Xu to the fullest, always thinking that one day she would become a master, she must be both civil and military, go down to the kitchen, and enter the hall, so that she can be worthy of the prince.

It's just that the wives have been idle for many days, and they still haven't seen Master Su enter the mansion, and they gradually lose their patience, and there are many open and secret fights.

Xianggui was denounced by the concubine of the Tang Mansion for insulting Liu Ji, the commander of the guards, and punished her to be locked up in a seven-day forbidden room, and she was only allowed to eat one meal of gruel a day. Zi Ning saw that she had been punished repeatedly, she was depressed, she had lost a lot of weight, her face was haggard, and she had signs of cold recently, so she begged Mama Qing but couldn't answer, so she had to secretly send her food at night.

Fortunately, no one noticed these days, and there was no news of losing things at night in the dining room, Zi Ning quietly told Green Huan about the food sent to Xianggui these days, and as for the encounter with Qianli in the dining room, as well as the ghost of that day, he didn't say anything.

Luhuan was incredulous, and exclaimed: "Ning'er, you are too bold, stealing things from the dining room and letting Mama know is terrible, I'm afraid it will drag Sister Xianggui down." No wonder I often don't see you in the second half of the night, and I think you sleep too much during the day and can't go out to breathe at night. ”

Zi Ning smiled proudly, squeezed her eyes and said, "Okay green ring, you help me hide it, if you want to eat anything in the future, just tell me, and I will secretly make it for you to eat." ”

Luhuan waved his hand again and again, and hurriedly said: "I don't dare to eat those, Ning'er, don't go to the dining room again in the future, the cooks will always notice that something is lost, and when the time comes, you will suffer." I couldn't help but get worried, worried that something would happen to Zi Ning, Zi Ning smiled: "Eighty percent of the things in the dining room are not counted, and the cooks and mothers-in-law also take things at will, so I fish in troubled waters, and they can't count my head." ”

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day, Zi Ning lay in the bed and slept soundly, and before she woke up, she was pulled and shouted by the green ring to get up, telling her that Mama Qing wanted to lecture and teach the girls to learn the rules. Zi Ning sat up with unkempt hair, sighed, and said to herself: "What should come will always come, and the idle days are coming to an end." ”

Sleepy-eyed changed his clothes, freshened up casually, and followed the green ring to the front courtyard, where the ladies had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw the two coming, they gathered cold eyes and looked at them with ill intentions.

Mama Qing snuggled on a wide couch chair, the wrinkles on her face were crumpled, and she said dissatisfiedly: "You two, do you think that when you enter Qingshuang Garden, you will enjoy the blessing of being a young lady?"

He instructed the two stout mothers-in-law, "Take them down." The two mothers-in-law dragged the two of them under the eaves, Zi Ning looked up, and the white silk rope ribbons hung down from the eaves, and she didn't know what to do.

Zhengjue was puzzled, only to hear Qing Mama say: "After these idle days, everyone is lazy, clamoring and fighting, and if I don't set a rule for you, what will become of you! From today on, you must learn to sing and dance, practice your body well, and hang Feiyan will not be able to hide." Turning his eyes at Zi Ning and the others, he snorted, "Hang the two of her first." ”

Zi Ning's mind was not yet sober, and when she heard about Hang Feiyan, she didn't understand what it was, so she hurriedly looked at the green ring, but saw that her face was pale, she bit her lip tightly, and her forehead was sweating.

The two mothers-in-law stepped forward and tied Zining's hands and feet with white silk ropes separately and tightly, and one of the mothers-in-law shouted: "Get up!" suddenly pulled one of the silk ropes, pulled one of her legs back and up, and hung it high, her hands were pulled behind her by the silk rope, and her chest was stretched out, like a golden rooster independent.

Zi Ning was sweating in pain, and couldn't help but cry out "ah", gritted her teeth and thought: "What kind of hanging Feiyan is this, it's more uncomfortable than opening the crotch split, you have to torture me to death!" Although she used to have a foundation in taekwondo, she had to start over after crossing, but fortunately, these days she didn't delay her meditation skills, and she quickly inhaled and lucked for a week, and a warm current slowly rose in her abdomen, and the pain on her body disappeared immediately.

Suddenly, I heard Mama Qing say: "When Zhao Feiyan danced, she became famous all over the world, and she became a queen. This hanging Feiyan's kung fu has been passed down from the old times, all the maidens have to learn it, learn it well, let Master Su be happy, maybe you can also be favored. ”

Saying that, the mother-in-law hung the green ring up, and the green ring struggled endlessly, pulling the silk rope all over her body and trembling, crying in pain: "Please let my grandmother let me go, I only want to be a rough slave to adults for the rest of my life, I never want to be favored, I don't want to learn this hanging swallow ......"

Qing Mama's eyes were cold, and she turned her head and scolded: "Such a little hooves that chew the tongue, Mama's orders dare to disobey, can you learn to hang Feiyan or not!" Instructed the mother-in-law: "Give me the mouth of this little hoof!" The mother-in-law stepped forward and slapped her twice, and her green cheeks became red and swollen, and she didn't dare to cry anymore with her mouth flattened.

The women standing below were silent, Mama Qing raised her head, glanced around at them, and ordered her mother-in-law to say: "Hang them one by one, learn this hanging Feiyan with your heart, who dares to be lazy and cheat, I will not spare her!"

Zi Ning caught a glimpse of some women smiling and not resisting, she was secretly surprised in her heart, and suddenly saw Shi Tao smile and said, "What's so difficult about this, Mama looks at me." She moved with agility, pulled up the silk rope with one foot, hung one leg to the highest, spread her arms, and danced under the pull of the silk rope, and her body fluttered like a fairy, like a swallow flying lightly.

The frost geese on the other side were not inferior, raising their legs to wrap around a piece of silk, and their heads hung upside down. I saw her body swing hard, and the silk rope shook up and down. The body is unusually light, "whoosh", up to the eaves, dancing around the silk rope twice, rotating the body and falling.

This action was crisp and neat, and Zi Ning was dumbfounded, if it weren't for the fact that his hands were tied tightly with silk ropes, he really couldn't help but want to slap and applaud. The other ladies also have their own unique skills, even the vine beads, which have always been delicate and timid, are also up and down on the silk rope, and the red dress reflects the sunlight, and the whole body exudes shining colors.

Zi Ning thought to herself: "It seems that they have learned these a long time ago, all of them are powerful, everyone is a master, this hanging Feiyan seems to be the easiest action, it is easier than playing." I'm still good, I practiced Qi Kung Fu, I don't feel how difficult it is, I only suffer from the green ring, I have never practiced these, I have to pull the hamstrings and bones apart, I have to die of pain. ”

When Mama Qing saw that the girls were as light as swallows and behaved extraordinary, she nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are smart, you don't have to continue practicing, go to the inner room to learn to play the piano and sing, and Mama will teach you." After the order, a large number of people walked away, Zi Ning took a cursory look, the upper grade and middle grade maids all left, and the lower grade maidens also walked halfway, leaving only five or six unpassable, still hanging on the eaves.

After hanging for an hour, Zi Ning continued to vomit luck, but she didn't feel hard, but she only had one leg hanging on it, and she didn't change the other leg, and the blood all over her body was about to coagulate. When she turned her head again, she saw that the green ring was in tears, and Yao Er next to her was even more pale, her two wrists tied to the silk rope trembled slightly, and her eyebrows were tightly twisted.

Qing Mama ordered a mother-in-law to watch from the side, and she went back to the house to rest. Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't pay attention to them, Zi Ning comforted them softly: "Don't cry in the green ring, if you can't bear it, it won't hurt." ”

Luhuan whimpered, and said for a while: "I don't want to be favored, let Master Su send me to be a maid, who wants to learn this hanging Feiyan? We are not singers and dancers, why do we have to practice singing and dancing!" She was full of grievances, crying and crying, but she couldn't figure it out.

Zi Ning was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Green Ring, look at these concubines, they drink gruel every day, they are so hungry that they are as thin as wood, and no one complains about anything." If you want to climb the high branches, you must have a pair of shoulders and a thin waist, and your body is as silky as a willow, which is what Lord Su loves. Although we don't want to be favored, but we have come to Dongyuan, we can't practice these skills, not to mention that we can't keep the stability of the second half of our lives, and we can't even sleep. Zhao Feiyan became the queen with her soft bones, what can we find fault with, of course there is no benefit in fighting with Mama. ”

Green Ring cried silently, Zi Ning explained a few words, she gradually stopped, and said: "Ning'er, I don't know the reason, this matter has to be endured." It's just that we have a bad life, and we have to learn these things when we become concubines. It's a shame that Xianggui didn't come, otherwise what kind of trouble would have happened. After a pause, he said: "Xianggui is in the forbidden room for some reason, and after suffering these days, I am afraid it will be more difficult than ours." ”

Zi Ning glanced at her mother-in-law and said in a low voice: "When she survives tomorrow, she will come back, I will send her another dress tonight, the cold in the forbidden room is heavy, as long as she is not sick." Raising her eyes to look at Yao Er to the side, she saw a layer of sweat on her forehead, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and she was even weak in breathing. Zi Ning was startled, and hurriedly shouted, "Yao'er, what's wrong with you, you have to hold on." ”

Yao Er didn't answer, her head tilted, and she fainted with both hands holding the silk rope. Zi Ning was suddenly startled, and shouted loudly: "Mama come quickly, Yao'er has fainted!" Luhuan also exclaimed: "Yao'er, wake up quickly......"

was shouting, suddenly heard a sound of footsteps into the courtyard, only to see a group of guards each holding a long box, solemn expressions, neat steps to the courtyard to stand, the guard commander Liu Ji said loudly: "Master Su has a life, give a reward to the girls!"

When Mama Qing heard the voice of the guards, she didn't care about resting, and hurriedly lifted the curtain from the house, smiled and thanked her, and ordered the mothers-in-law to call the wives and girls to come over to receive the reward in person.

Zi Ning and Lu Huan shouted anxiously: "Mama, save Yao'er, she fainted." Qing Mama raised her eyes and snorted coldly, and reprimanded: "Useless things, if you faint, you will faint, and you will be called something, which disturbs the guards." A few of you who are lazy, practice hanging Feiyan for another hour, and if the hour is not enough, you are not allowed to put it down. ”

Zi Ning's sweat soaked through several layers of clothes, only to feel paralyzed, his hands and feet were sore, and he couldn't help but shout: "Mama, let's hang for an hour without getting in the way, Yao'er can't do it, she eats less on weekdays, and her body is weak, in such a hot weather, it will kill people if she hangs for a while." ”
