No normal person can stand Princess Leyang's blindfolded bragging that completely ignores the facts, let alone Jiang Xuening, who has a psychological shadow from a previous life.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long.
Shen Zhiyi had only been sitting here for a while when someone from the palace came to look for her, saying that the Empress Dowager asked her to come over and talk to relieve her boredom, so Shen Zhiyi had to go reluctantly.
Before leaving, he took Jiang Xuening's hand and said, "Anyway, this princess likes you. If there is anything in the palace these few days, even if you tell the maids in Yangzhizhai, they will come to report me. The mother will find you there. , I'm going right now, and I'll see you tomorrow."
Jiang Xuening breathed a sigh of relief and watched Shen Zhiyi leave.
In the end, the day ended when she "reluctantly" completed the court etiquette with Su Shangyi, who was dedicated and patient—
no way.
It's really tiring to pretend, and Jiang Xuening recalled Shen Zhiyi's attitude on this matter, and even said "it doesn't matter if you can't learn it", what's the point of her pretending
If it doesn't work, it has to be replaced.
It's just that she couldn't let others see the clues, so she stayed up until it was getting late, and it seemed like she was gradually taught by Su Shangyi, her movements began to become smooth, and she gradually met Su Shangyi's strict standards.
At the end, Su Shangyi rarely showed a look of relief, only looked at her, and pointed to her and said to the crowd: "It can be seen that it doesn't matter how bad the talent is. There is a saying since ancient times, 'The stupid bird flies first' and 'diligence can make up for the clumsy', as long as you are willing to Work hard, many difficult things in the world can still be overcome. Miss Jiang Er did a very good job today, you should take her as a mirror. "
Jiang Xuening: "..."
Others are slandering in their hearts that if they can be used as a "mirror mirror", everyone should not enter the palace, but they said in unison: "Yes, thank Su Shangyi for your pointer."
Su Shangyi then told them to disperse, and left with the three female officials of the Shangyi Bureau.
In this late autumn weather, Jiang Xuening was sweating all over. When he saw people leaving, he was too lazy to say hello to anyone, and immediately went back to his room, asking the maid of Yang Zhizhai to prepare a fragrant soup for him to bathe.
Others will lag behind.
Chen Shuyi, the young lady of Chen Yunjin's family, a cabinet scholar, walked beside Xiao Shu with Yao Xi.
After she glanced at Yao Xi, who was not sure what she was thinking, her eyes flashed slightly before she spoke to Xiao Shu indifferently: "Although I don't see much of Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, I rarely see her being so nice to anyone. This second girl from the Jiang family is just putting on makeup for her, how is it worth the princess to treat her like this?"
Chen Shuyi didn't go to Qingyuan Uncle's Mansion, of course she didn't know.
But Xiao Shu was there the whole time.
She was playing with a delicate incense fan in her hand, and she lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes and only smiled, not like Chen Shuyi's faintly fearful, but rather casual: "If you just put on makeup, of course it won't be like this. , what matters is what was said at that time. Such words, Shuyi, you and I will never be able to say it in this life."
Chen Shuyi was thoughtful.
Because it was the first time for everyone to get together on such an occasion, and it was the first day that they entered the palace. By the end of the evening, after everyone had finished washing up and eating, I didn’t know who got up, so they shouted at Yangzhizhai to be alone. Gathered in the flowing water pavilion for reading and drinking tea for everyone.
Jiang Xuening had no interest at all.
You must know that this group of people didn't talk about any interesting topics in the last life. They were all those fragrant powders, their heads and heads. It was really nothing new to talk about the young and talented outside.
But now everyone thinks she is amazing.
Who told her to have a big face on Princess Leyang's side
Everyone can see the situation when learning etiquette today. Although they all feel that her back door is too much, she is even more friendly to her on the surface. "At this point, but the words are very gentle, even when You Yue saw her, she put away her previous hostile eyes and squeezed a smile from her lips.
So she was pulled over by Fang Miao and other people.
There were six or seven people sitting at a round table, and the rest were scattered on the kang by the window, talking to each other, and occasionally picking up candied fruit and dried fruit prepared on the plate to eat.
Zhou Baoying even plunged into the food without looking up.
On the other hand, Xiao Shu seemed to treat Jiang Xuening in a different way. When she saw her coming in, she nodded and said hello, smiling: "Jiang's sister has been in the limelight today."
Jiang Xuening was so tired that she could only laugh at the corners of her mouth, making an embarrassing look, as if she didn't know what to say, and only said, "Sister Xiao is joking."
Seeing that she never meant to talk to anyone, Xiao Shu didn't want to talk to her in depth anymore, so she simply turned to talk to someone else.
Everyone couldn't help complaining about today's female officials.
That Yao Rongrong was sitting in the corner rather timidly, her face flushed: "I haven't been taught these things in my family since I was a child, and I learned it too slowly. Fortunately, there is a sister from the Jiang family, who is similar to me. Otherwise I don't know what to do today..."
Everyone was suffocated when they heard this.
Should I say this girl is stupid or really stupid
You know this in your own heart, so why would you say it
The room was suddenly quiet for a moment.
You Yue nibbled a melon seed. Although she didn't dare to make it too obvious, her eyes showed interest in watching a play.
Yao Rongrong also reacted for a while, only to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and remembered Jiang Xuening's face in front of the princess today, she suddenly shrank, and hurriedly apologized to Jiang Xuening: "I, what I said just now didn't mean that..."
Jiang Xuening: "..."
I'm not angry, I just feel sorry for her.
She didn't have much interaction with Yao Rongrong in her last life, and she didn't intend to embarrass her, she just smiled casually: "It doesn't matter, I was stupid at first, so I really can't learn well. It's just that Su Shangyi is too responsible. It's hard."
Fan Yilan was kind-hearted. Originally, she took a book of poems from the bookshelf and flipped through it in her hand, but seeing Yao Rongrong's embarrassment, she interjected, "It seems that the etiquette in the palace is to be learned for two days, right? At the beginning, the palace said that we would stay for three days when we entered the palace for the first time. I heard that on the last day, the gentlemen would ask us to give questions to test us, to see how well everyone's knowledge was, so as to determine the content of the lectures in the future. Deep and shallow. I just don't know which gentleman will come to take the test at that time... "
Who else could it be
Xie Ju'an.
Jiang Xuening sneered in his heart.
Sure enough, Chen Shuyi, who was very taciturn before, replied: "It should be the young teacher, Master Xie. Now he presides over the lectures of the classics in the palace, and he is very knowledgeable. This time, he will teach me and others to learn the piano. , reading, other gentlemen follow his lead. When I entered the palace, my father warned me, saying that entering the palace this time does not mean that I can read for the princess, in addition to learning etiquette, I also need to learn to live the gentlemen Guan. It doesn't matter if it's too good. If it's too bad, it's not easy to arrange lectures if you stay with the princess. If you talk too deeply, you can't understand it. Human. If it is not suitable at that time, it will also be persuaded by Mr.
- This is the second plan Jiang Xuening is going to change.
The etiquette level was due to the changes of Su Shangyi and Princess Leyang. Seeing that no matter how stupid she was, she could pass by lying on the ground. Naturally, there was no possibility of being persuaded to leave the palace because she could not learn etiquette.
But Princess Leyang can't be sure of Xie Wei!
As long as she can break through her own bottom line in the exam on the third day, hand in a blank paper or write a blind pass, she will surely anger Xie Wei or other gentlemen who never lower their requirements in this regard, then she is persuaded to return to the palace because of poor knowledge, that is, It's a done deal.
As soon as Xie Wei was mentioned, the young ladies from the aristocratic family suddenly became a little excited.
One said, "Isn't it really Mr. Xie who came in person?"
You Yue jokingly said, "Why are you blushing?"
He spat at her, covered his face, and said, "If you see it someday, you will blush!"
Yao Rongrong answered timidly: "I also heard my father mention Mr. Xie many times at home, but they all said that Mr. Xie will come and stand in four years, but he has always been alone and has not talked about marriage. , but it's really weird."
Fang Miao suddenly raised her head: "What's so strange about this?"
Yao Rongrong gave a soft "ah".
Fang Miao lowered her head again and went to the few copper plates on the table, as if she wanted to count something, and only said, "Everyone in Beijing knows that although Mr. Xie was born in Confucianism, he has devoted himself to the study of Buddhism in recent years, and every year he has to spare two coins. In the coming months, I went to Xuankong Temple and Sanqingguan to fast and stay temporarily, and I talked about scriptures and Taoism with others.
Not close to women
Mentioning this, Jiang Xuening couldn't help but think of the embarrassment of the previous life.
At this moment, all kinds of vicious thoughts popped up in my heart: How can you say that you are pure-hearted and have few desires, but you don’t even have a woman by your side in a high-ranking position.
The crowd was joking and laughing.
Suddenly, a little palace maid bowed outside the door and called Jiang Xuening softly: "Miss Jiang, someone is looking for it."
Jiang Xuening raised his eyebrows and asked subconsciously, "Who is it?"
The little palace maid blinked and looked at her without speaking.
Jiang Xuening remembered what happened in the last life, and suddenly understood, and stopped asking, just said to the others, "Excuse me, I'll go out and have a look."
Then he followed the little palace maid and walked out from Yangzhizhai.
All the way to the direction of Wenhua Hall.
Seeing that he was about to reach the range of the front court, but fortunately he stopped at the fork in the road not far ahead, and looked up again, Yan Lin was wearing a black robe, standing under the begonia waiting for her.
The little palace maid quietly withdrew.
Jiang Xuening stepped forward: "It's so late, haven't you returned from the palace?"
Yan Lin heard from Shen Jie about the eldest princess' companions learning etiquette today. She was afraid that she would suffer some grievances, so she came to take a look. It took a while for the key to be released, and you head back to the palace, I really can’t be relieved. I heard that Su Shangyi, who taught you today, was very strict, and you fell in front of the eldest princess. Well, I just stopped by the imperial hospital for consultation. After taking the medicine, remember to put it on at night, don't go to the palace and lame your legs. I don't want such a bride."
Unconsciously, he said something about the little children.
Jiang Xuening's expression was as usual.
Yan Lin's cheeks were flushed, and he realized that he was Meng Lang again. He couldn't help covering his lips and coughed to cover it up. He changed the subject and said, "Are you still used to it today?"
The medicine he asked for was packed in a small white porcelain bottle, Jiang Xuening held it in his hands, and looked up at the young man in the dark, saying, "I'm used to it, and the eldest princess also takes good care of me, so you don't have to worry. "
Yan Lin had said this to Shen Zhiyi on purpose, so she felt relieved when she heard it.
There was a small smile on his lips, and this time he looked at her in a different way.
It's like grabbing the little tail of some stinking cat.
He only hurriedly said: "At the end of today's Wenhua Palace Day lecture, I met Lord Shilang."
This should be Jiang Boyou.
Jiang Xuening didn't understand what he meant and blinked at him.
Yan Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "He asked me, did he teach you some way to govern people a while ago, so that you could use a copy of "Young Xue Qionglin" as a fake account book to complete the disobedient servants in the house. I thought that I shouldn't be asked about it for no reason, and it didn't seem like a bad thing, so I accepted it. But you know, I know, I didn't teach it."
Jiang Xuening lowered his eyes: "I knew you would lie for me, so I pushed it on you."
Yan Lin smiled and scratched the bridge of her nose, only to ask, "Who taught that?"
Jiang Xuening said: "I figured it out myself."
Yan Lin stared at her and didn't speak for a while, under her dark eyes, her eyes flickered slightly, but in the end she reached out and touched her head, saying, "My Ningning has It's a secret."
Yes.
Your Ningning has a secret.
It's just this secret that she would never dare tell you.
Jiang Xuening only raised his eyes to look at him again, his eyes were black and white, as transparent and beautiful as glass beads, but he did not speak.
Yan Lin then said: "Then tell me when you want to tell someone one day, okay? I want to be the first person in the world to know Ning Ning's secret."
The young man looked at her with infinite tolerance.
Jiang Xuening was so soft-hearted for a moment.
However, what was tumbling in his memory was all the things he had when he walked into his own bedroom with the smell of alcohol backwards in his last life. His fingers holding the white porcelain medicine bottle tightened slightly, but after all he nodded and said: "it is good."
Yan Lin was satisfied, and the little unhappiness from earlier dissipated immediately, just looking at the time, it was not too early, and he was afraid that he would miss the time for the palace gate to release the key, so he reluctantly said: "You are all learning the rules these days, I am afraid that I still have to be tested by my husband, so I don’t want to come to you clearly. It’s still this time tomorrow. I’ll see you here. I’ll go and find out what you will be taking the test on the third day, so that you can be prepared. I’ll give it to you then ."
Jiang Xuening was speechless.
She actually remembers a lot of what she took the exam in the last life, but it doesn't make any difference whether she knows it or not in this life, because she didn't plan to let herself pass it at all.
But she did not reject the boy's kindness at the moment.
Still saying: "Okay."
The next day, people from the Shangyi Bureau came.
It's just that this time, the teaching is not simple etiquette, but the names of various people in the palace, and even the skills and techniques of mixing and making incense.
Everyone thought that Jiang Xuening today should be just as clumsy.
Unexpectedly, today's Jiang Xuening seems to have suddenly opened up. He can learn everything and learn everything quickly!
The names of various people in the palace can be recited by repeating only three times;
The rules of walking in and out can be completely remembered only by watching the female official demonstrate it once;
Not to mention the fragrance.
Smelling, distinguishing, mixing, burning incense, turning over the delicate hands, doing it is the right way, and every action can be called flowing clouds and flowing water, pleasing to the eye!
Su Shangyi, who was tossed about Jiang Xuening's etiquette yesterday, didn't come here with any hope. She just thought that she had no choice but to listen to the eldest princess and forgive her so gently.
But who would have thought that this second girl Jiang would look like a different person!
Others may not notice it, but she stood in front of Jiang Xuening and saw it clearly: when Jiang Xuening picked up the ebony incense seal, he slightly raised his little finger, dipped the incense ash on the incense seal with an incense spoon, and then put it on the incense seal. When hitting the paved ashes, it was impartial and upright. This incense seal, just opened, is facing the front!
On the other hand, looking at the others, although the movements were correct, most of the Xiang Zhuan that fell did not pay attention to the direction.
Some are upside down, some are crooked.
Although most incense makers do not pay attention to the incense seals that should be placed upright, the peony has always been the favorite item of the queen of every dynasty, so Su Shangyi will be very careful when making incense seals.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuening has such a slender heart, and can notice such tiny details...
Su Shangyi suddenly couldn't help looking at her with a brand new look. After she made the incense seal, she slowly said: "His Royal Highness, the eldest princess, has a good reason for you. I think there are some people in this world who are born with four limbs. Discordant, even walking on flat ground has to wrestle. Er girl may be one of them. But you did a good job today. Especially the incense making, it should be the first."
Jiang Xuening was calm.
In the last life, she learned the etiquette from Su Shangyi, and after being in the palace for so long, she would naturally be able to do better than others if she wanted to.
Not to mention making incense—
This was one of the few hobbies she had in her last life other than being a queen.
As for Peony, she is the queen herself, can you not care
It's just that she can't say that in front of Su Shangyi right now, she just said: "My minister and daughter prefer this way, so I have studied it. Today, in front of Lord Shangyi, it is showing off."
However, Su Shangyi was already admiring her.
Listening to her talk like this, I can only think that she is modest, and the tone when she speaks is very natural and gentle compared to yesterday's reluctance, and said: "Today, the girl has finished all that she should learn, and she is the first to complete it. You can take a rest and take a look at others."
other people:"… "
It is said that feng shui turns by turns, so why can't they turn on them!
Yesterday, Jiang Xuening was slow to learn, and Su Shangyi tolerated her in every possible way; today she is like a ghost and learns so fast, and Su Shangyi praised her in every possible way!
Now he actually sits aside to rest!
They simply wondered: How could they learn so fast, remember so well, and do so well? !
Jiang Xuening was really impatient to deal with it today: since he knew that he could not leave the palace from the etiquette point of view, and if he continued to pretend, he would only be making trouble for himself. Sit on the side to rest and save yourself from sweating.
She doesn't care what others think.
Who can open the eyes to guess that she is reborn? Just like Su Shangyi, she just found a reason why her limbs were not naturally coordinated, and she might have been too nervous yesterday.
Yao Rongrong was the one who learned the worst and slowest apart from Jiang Xuening yesterday. She thought that Jiang Xuening would be scolded with her today, and she felt that the two of them had the same problem.
But in the blink of an eye, Jiang Xuening had finished sitting down.
However, she was still standing among the crowd, completely becoming the slowest and dumbest of them all. She was at a loss for a while, and only looked at Jiang Xuening with envy and surprise, secretly feeling a bit bitter. .
Shen Zhiyi thought that what she learned today would be more complicated, so she went to the Queen Mother's Shou'an Palace early to invite An to Yangzhizhai's side, but as soon as she walked in, she saw Jiang Xuening sitting on the side.
It was only when she asked that she realized that she had finished her studies.
Looking at her for a while, I felt a little moved in my heart, and I stepped forward and pulled Jiang Xuening's hand, and said with a smile: "I knew that Ning Ning would not be a stupid person, but it was done so fast, and yesterday I worked so hard, It must be to not let me down. Ning Ning, you are so kind!"
Jiang Xuening: "..."
Now tell Shen Zhiyi that everything she does has nothing to do with her, will she be dragged down and beaten immediately
Jiang Xuening did not dare to take risks after all, and acquiesced.
At this time, she only sighed in her heart: fortunately, she has to take the school examination tomorrow, and she will be able to leave the palace if she fails the exam, otherwise she will directly pray to God now that she will just drop Dao Lei and hack herself to death!
