The palace is deep and well-regulated. Before each imperial concubine enters the palace, there will always be a maid from the palace to teach them how to learn the etiquette in the palace. This tradition is no exception even for low-ranking concubines who enter the palace. As a crown princess, Cheng Yujin has the face of the royal family, and is a model for women in the world. The requirements are stricter than others, and it is reasonable.
Cheng Yujin understands this, Empress Yang understands it, and so does the aunt, the female official responsible for teaching the rules.
Among the four female officials, Mrs. Zheng is the head. She is actually only in her thirties, but everyone calls her aunt when they see her.
The female official Zheng was never married, and served the court all her life, and was responsible for teaching the new court ladies to learn the rules of the court. She is not very old, but because of her sullen face all the year round, the flesh on her face looks rigid, and she looks very difficult to approach.
Her voice was just like the impression she gave, with a straight face and no emotion: "Miss Cheng, you are the prince concubine bestowed by the sage. You are the master, and we are slaves. But the slaves were ordered by the queen. I came to guide Miss Cheng on the etiquette and correct the royal etiquette. In order to avoid the princess from losing the face of the royal family in the future, when the slaves and others teach you the rules, you must do your best, and do not hide your privacy. It's for the girl's good, and I'll teach you the rules later, girl, don't hate slaves and so on."
Cheng Yujin nodded: "I naturally understand. Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother. The ministers and daughters will keep it in their hearts, always reflect on themselves, and dare not forget for a moment."
Female official Zheng pulled the corner of her mouth without smiling: "That's good. Miss Cheng, let's start now."
Cheng Yujin readily agreed. Ms. Zheng has already taught four or five batches of beautiful girls. She doesn't know how many palace maids have been rectified and cried under her. She has seen too many noble ladies like Cheng Yujin. When the concubines and concubines first entered the palace, they were all like Cheng Yujin, confident and arrogant, and they carried the air of Miss Gongqing who was held up. They all felt that their etiquette was perfect, and they would definitely not be mistaken by the female officer. Unfortunately, under the watch of the female officer Zheng, not all of them dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they could only bow their heads.
It was just a lesson for a little girl who didn't know much about the world, and Ms. Zheng was very confident. And the person who taught it is the future crown princess, which makes people feel more fulfilled.
Nv Zheng was in a hurry and planned to watch a good show, but three days later, Nv Zheng's mentality collapsed.
What happened to Cheng Yujin? These four female officials have been staring at Cheng Yujin without blinking, sitting, lying, walking, talking and even sleeping, but Cheng Yujin's every movement is as precise as a ruler. come out.
For the first time in the 20 years since she entered the palace, Ms. Zheng had a strong suspicion of herself.
If the situation of the Marquis of Yichun spread to the palace, she would definitely be scolded by Empress Yang, thinking that Lady Zheng had taken advantage of the Cheng family and deliberately released water.
Nvzhen Zheng is simply dumb eating Huanglian, and she can't tell the pain. If it was another person, Nvzhen Zheng felt that she was letting go, but the person involved was her, Nvzhen Zheng knew very well that she didn't have it at all. Even later, in order to save face, she stared more carefully and deliberately.
However, this is the case, Cheng Yujin's actions are not in the slightest irregular or elegant.
Zheng Nuguan was hit hard and couldn't help but doubt her life. Fortunately, after returning to the room last night, the other female official who lived with her also had an ugly face. The two tried to talk and realized that their inner thoughts were the same.
The other party can't make mistakes at all. It is too standard, and even if they are replaced by themselves, they cannot be so precise.
After finding her companion, Madam Zheng's anxiety was instantly relieved by half. The two of them secretly summed up, and agreed that it was Cheng Yujin who learned that someone was coming from the palace, and deliberately made up for it and corrected her manners in advance. But they can last for a while, but not for a lifetime. They grind slowly, and they can always wait for the day when Cheng Yujin pretends not to move.
So the four of them stared harder. Zheng Nuguan thought, people are not puppets, as long as they are mortal, there will always be times to relax. They kept staring, can Cheng Yujin still be perfect all the time at twelve o'clock a day
Who knows, it can.
People always have time to relax, but Cheng Yujin doesn't seem to need it. She eats, drinks, and even sleeps in an orderly manner, her back is straight, and her wrists are raised not too high, not too low.
Female official Zheng asked Cheng Yujin to practice salute. She deliberately asked Cheng Yujin to maintain a half-squatting motion. The four of them were surrounded by them. The ruler in their hands had already been charged. When Cheng Yujin shook them a little, they would hit it hard.
I do not know how many concubines and palace maids have been successfully rectified by this trick. With the exception of Empress Yang, who is her own arrogant daughter in the harem, all other concubines have experienced this nightmare. Lady Zheng stared at her for a long time without blinking, but Cheng Yujin didn't even move, not even shaking at all. And the expression on Cheng Yujin's face is still very relaxed, it seems that as long as they don't call to stop, Cheng Yujin can keep it going.
Lady Zheng had no choice but to let Cheng Yujin get up. If you can't make a mistake, naturally you can't give pointers, and the palace's tacit tricks for the whole person can't be used.
Lady Zheng changed her kneeling salutation again, empty head, kowtow, solemn worship... Every item was like this. Cheng Yujin did it smoothly, and the four female officials looked around, looking at each other, no one could speak.
Lady Zheng's heart, which was originally unconcerned, gradually tightened. This young and born crown princess does not seem to be as simple as she imagined.
This kind of endurance and forbearance, not to mention Empress Yang, even the female official Zheng who follows the rules can't do it.
When I first learned that the crown prince who had been missing for many years had been found, the whole palace was shocked, and even the prince concubine who had not yet appeared, suddenly rushed to the cusp of the storm. They dare not say anything about the crown prince, but the people in the palace don't really care much about the crown prince.
Especially when everyone heard that this woman was divorced. The matter of breaking off the marriage has not been mentioned recently, but the female officials still have a subtle contempt in their hearts. For a lady from an ordinary family background and an ordinary reputation, who has never even entered the palace, the position of the prince concubine can fall on her head. Shit luck at home. What qualifications does such a person have to compare with Miss Dou, who often lives in the palace
When the female official Zheng left the palace, she even suspected that the prince concubine, the bun, might not know what to do with the palace ceremony, whether she should step back with her left foot or right foot when kneeling down.
But now, Ms. Zheng and her party were deeply slapped in the face. The four of them tried hard, no one dared to speak.
Since Cheng Yujin got engaged, she no longer goes to Mrs. Cheng to greet her every day. But since the four female officials in the palace came, she suddenly became extremely filial, and neither Mrs. Cheng nor the Princess Qingfu fell behind. The same is true today. After Cheng Yujin copied the internal training for a while, he put down the pen.
Madam Zheng stared at the side, and immediately stopped coldly: "Miss Cheng, you have not finished the two internal trainings today, so you must not go out."
"I know." Cheng Yujin put down the pen and looked at the female official Zheng with a smile, "filial piety is the ultimate virtue of humanity. You must be diligent in the day and night, never slack in the face of your orders, and be more respectful than your staff, and you must be careful when you are willing. . I copied this section, and I feel something, I want to go to my grandmother and mother to say goodbye."
Female official Zheng frowned tightly. If Cheng Yujin went out, she didn't know how much time it would take to go back and forth on the road, and it was not as good as being in the house when she was outside. However, Cheng Yujin moved out the content of the internal training. If she said no, wouldn't she be doing it against the internal training
Seeing this, Cheng Yujin added a paragraph lightly: "Since you are married, you have the hope of having a family, and you can't hurt your uncle and aunt in the way of your parents. How a woman is filial to her parents can infer how she should be filial to her in-laws after marriage. Female officials. Stop me, doesn't it stop me from doing my filial piety to the Queen?"
Ms. Zheng was completely speechless, so she had to say firmly: "Ms. Cheng is so eloquent, she is very good at learning and using it. But what matters in everything is behavior. I am afraid it will not be good for the future."
Cheng Yujin couldn't hear that the female official Zheng was threatening her. Now Cheng Yujin is playing tricks. After entering the palace, the female official Zheng only has to talk to Empress Yang, and some Cheng Yujin looks good. But it's still the old saying, hatred is worth 100 and hatred is worth 50. There is no difference between hatred and hatred. Empress Yang would never treat her well, so why bother herself
Cheng Yujin smiled and said, "I remember what Ms. Zheng said today. We have a long time to come. I didn't study some etiquette thoroughly, and I will have the opportunity to ask Ms. Zheng for advice in the future."
Threatening people, who will not. Female official Zheng frowned even more. She threatened Cheng Yujin with Empress Yang, and when Cheng Yujin approached, she threatened to come back. Cheng Yujin is a crown princess after all, and Empress Yang will not do anything to her on the face of it, but the female official Zheng is only a small palace servant. It is very easy for Cheng Yujin to crush her to death.
Female official Zheng was choked hard, but Cheng Yujin's language skills were excellent, and the threats were all silent, but from the perspective of her words, she couldn't find any mistakes. Lady Zheng glared at Cheng Yujin several times, but Cheng Yujin ignored it and changed her clothes comfortably and went out.
It is now April, and the upper and lower parts of the house have put on light spring clothes. Walking in the house, the flowers are red and willows, the fragrance is bursting, and the maids in spring clothes are walking among the flowers and trees. Cheng Yujin held a neat pace, leading four female officials and many maids behind her, and walked mightily towards Shou'an Hall. When the servants saw Cheng Yujin, they made way for her from a distance.
Cheng Yujin's battle was huge, and Mrs. Cheng received a letter from her servant early in the morning. Mrs. Cheng heard that the eldest girl brought the four court ladies to Shou'an Tang again, and she couldn't even drink water due to a headache.
Those four female officials held the precepts, and standing there was even scarier than King Kong. Although they mainly stared at Cheng Yujin, how could they not be affected by the fact that Mrs. Cheng and her co-existed in the same room. Cheng Yujin runs back and forth every day, which makes Mrs. Cheng nervous these days. She doesn't dare to eat or drink. She is careful with every movement.
Mrs. Cheng is like this, and the maid below is even more like a formidable enemy. After a few days, Shou'an Hall was miserable.
They were only swept away by the aftermath, and they were already so tired. Cheng Yujin was at the center of the whirlpool every day, so how could it be difficult
The female relatives of the Cheng family felt more and more that the Crown Princess was really not a human thing. At first, many people were jealous and unwilling that such a good thing would fall on Cheng Yujin, clamoring that they would be better than Cheng Yujin. However, the court's exclusive pre-marital training has only been conducted for a few days, and no one has said anything like that. Even the eyes they look at Cheng Yujin now show no envy, only awe.
However, with emotion, although Mrs. Cheng felt sorry for Cheng Yujin, she didn't want to train with Cheng Yujin at all. The Lord of Qingfu County can also hide in other places under the pretext of being a housekeeper and visiting, but Mrs. Cheng, as the old Fengjun of the Hou Mansion, can't hide her face and avoid seeing her. What's more, Rong'antang is here. If the monk can run away from the temple, where else can Mrs. Cheng hide
After Cheng Yujin entered the door, she greeted Mrs. Cheng with a smile. The four female officials were at the back like the Four Heavenly Kings, and Mrs. Cheng had to straighten her waist and sit upright. As for the other maids and daughters-in-law, they had to raise their chests and shoulders, put away their relaxed and playful state, and put out the bowls on their heads one by one.
Mrs. Cheng especially wanted to tell Cheng Yujin that she didn't have to come in the future, but Cheng Yujin was very filial, indicating that it was her duty to save every morning and evening, and she would never neglect her filial piety just because she became a prince concubine. Cheng Yujin's heart is so simple, happiness is not necessarily shared, and difficulties must be shared.
The family just needs to be neat and tidy.
Mrs. Cheng slapped the cotton with a punch, which was really bad.
