The queen mother smiled and said, "Now that spring is here and the weather is warm, Aijia doesn't want to be confined in the Ci'an Palace, and always wants to walk around. I just don't know if you are willing to accompany me, the old woman?"
"What did the empress dowager say? The concubine is able to serve the empress dowager, it is a blessing that has been cultivated in eight lifetimes." Concubine Yun said with a tender smile.
Princess Tana also said unwillingly: "Exactly, the concubine often accompanied the elders in the family in the past, and she liked talking to the elders the most."
The queen mother smiled and nodded lovingly and tenderly: "You are all good children. It's spring, and the farming season is over. A while ago, the Holy Master said..."
The queen mother talked about farming and farming. After all, she used to grow land before, and she knew all about it very well.
Princess Tana, Concubine Yun and Li Helan all listened and often echoed a few words.
Qin Yining sat silently with his head bowed, trying to minimize his sense of existence.
After chatting for a while, the queen mother looked at Qin Yining faintly.
"Why, Princess Zhongshun isn't interested in these topics that Ai's family talked about?"
Qin Yining felt helpless when he was called by name. He got up and saluted respectfully and said, "Returning to the Queen Mother, the court lady is listening intently to what the Queen Mother said about the crops, and she also remembered what she saw in the countryside when she was young. What the Queen Mother said It is full of a warm atmosphere of life, which makes the courtiers yearn for and miss the days when they were young."
Qin Yining's words resonated with everyone present. No matter who you are, no matter how noble or humble. I am afraid that the most carefree and carefree time in life should be childhood, and the most wanting to go back but can't go back is childhood.
Even the Queen Mother was moved by Qin Yining's statement.
It's just that the Queen Mother's face is still cold: "Oh. It turns out that the princess has been so unhappy these days in the palace, so I wish I could go back to my childhood?"
Qin Yining felt tense, feeling that something was not right.
The queen mother was very polite to her on weekdays, and even sometimes made her feel that the queen mother was deliberately trying to win her over because of Pang Xiao's relationship.
But today the queen mother is deliberately looking for fault with her!
Tightening his nerves, Qin Yining replied respectfully: "The queen mother misunderstood, and the court lady didn't think so."
"Do you still dare to be stubborn?" The Queen Mother put down the cover clock in her hand with a "ten" sound, and the white porcelain clock cover made a crashing sound.
"The queen mother calms down. The court lady dare not."
"Relieve your anger, how can Aijia calm down your anger by contradicting you so much!" The Queen Mother reprimanded savagely, "Aijia sees that you are pure hearted to anger Aijia to death!"
Li Helan was a little shocked when he saw the Queen Mother being so angry, but now she finally came to her senses, and gloated to help her: "I still don't apologize to the Queen Mother! I'm so angry that my mother's body is ruined, can you bear it!"
Qin Yining had to kneel down and said respectfully, "The Queen Mother calm down."
Jiyun and Bingtang also knelt down and kowtowed.
Li Helan patted the empress dowager on the chest and reassured: "The empress, calm down, don't get angry, it's not worth worrying about this hoof."
Qin Yining lowered his eyes, as if he hadn't heard.
The queen mother said coldly: "Your rules are so bad, but you are still teaching Concubine Shun's rules and etiquette. No wonder Concubine Shun has learned to look like that after so long."
Princess Tana was named and reprimanded for her poor etiquette and rules. Her face immediately turned red into a red cloth. She was so angry that she did not argue for herself, but just stood up and listened respectfully.
Concubine Yun looked at the queen mother and said with a smile: "Cousin, let go of her anger, and according to the concubine, the rules of the royal concubine Zhongshun are also good, and the etiquette is also comprehensive. She still learned from Madam Zhan in the Queen's Palace. It's just that. The concubine is dull and not as smart as her."
"Really?" The Queen Mother snorted softly, "So, she learned well by herself, but she didn't want to teach Concubine Shun?"
Concubine Yun covered her mouth in surprise and said, "How could it be? If Concubine Shun can't be taught, she can't leave the palace. If she can't leave the palace, she has to walk around the palace frequently. This..."
As if she had discovered some great secret, Concubine Yun lowered her voice and said, "Could it be that Princess Zhongshun has the intention to stay, and what is her plan?"
This big hat is buttoned down, and it can crush people to death.
To follow the decree to teach the concubine to obey the rules, but not to do her best, is to resist the decree.
If you stay in the palace for excuses, what can the plotters have? This inner palace is the emperor's inner residence.
She is an external wife, a married woman, but she stays in the emperor's inner palace and refuses to leave.
This word spread to let outsiders know how she was going to deal with herself!
"Concubine Yun, please be careful. The minister's wife is on an errand, and there is no such thing as Concubine Yun's unreasonable speculation." Qin Yining raised her eyes, and her cold gaze fell on Concubine Yun.
Concubine Yun was stared at by her stern gaze, and she forgot the words that came to her lips.
Seeing this, the queen mother secretly scolded Concubine Yun for useless, and said indifferently: "If you say that, your rules are very good? Did you teach etiquette carefully? Concubine Shun's current rules and etiquette are not enough, it is her own too much. Stupid?"
Princess Tana's face was flushed with anger, and her back molars clenched, but her Da Zhou words were not very bright at this time.
Qin Yining saluted and said: "Back to the queen mother, the ministers did not dare to judge the qualifications of the concubine Shun, but the ministers did teach them seriously. If the queen mother thinks that the teaching of the ministers is not good, why don't you ask Mammy Zhan to teach the wife of the concubine Shun directly? After all, my wife also learned from Mammy Zhan. Now there is no obstacle to the normal conversation of the concubine Shunfei in Dazhou dialect, and Mammy Zhan's teaching will not affect it. "
Li Qitian came to accompany Concubine Shun. It was originally Concubine Shun's whim, and Li Qitian pushed the boat along the river. Now that the Queen Mother is not satisfied with her, she simply retreated and took the opportunity to leave the palace.
When the queen mother heard Qin Yining say this, she couldn't find any words to deal with for a while.
She gritted her teeth and cursed in her heart: This ghost girl is clever, she took the opportunity to come up with such a statement.
Seeing that the Queen Mother had nothing to say, Li Helan immediately reprimanded her: "Bold! The Queen Mother is the person with the highest median score in the harem, but you dare to contradict!"
"Could not dare." Qin Yining bowed his head.
At this time, Concubine Yun finally remembered the secret order of the Queen Mother, and smiled softly, hiding the excitement in her eyes.
"Cousin, according to the opinion of the courtiers and concubines, why don't you let Princess Zhongshun perform it. Whether the rules and etiquette are well done, let's see if we don't know?"
As soon as the coquettish voice came out, Li Helan burst into laughter.
Li Helan tapped Concubine Yun with her tortoiseshell armour and said in a good mood, "It's rare for you to make such a meaningful suggestion. Empress mother, Erchen thinks it's very good, so let Princess Zhongshun perform it for us all. "
The queen mother had a cold face, pretended to hesitate, and then gave a long "um" as an agreement. He turned to look at Princess Tana and said, "Concubine Shun, why don't you come and test her."
The Queen Mother's words made it clear that she wanted to give Princess Tana a chance to humiliate Qin Yining.
Princess Tana's own etiquette and rules are all learned from Qin Yining, and she hasn't passed the exam yet, where is it her turn to take the test again
However, when the Queen Mother spoke, Princess Tana could naturally be justified.
Qin Yining saw through this point, and simply stopped arguing, lest he be caught by more mistakes.
Although Princess Tana didn't like to be used as a gunman by the Queen Mother, she was still willing to show Qin Yining some color when she couldn't refuse.
"Okay." Princess Tana stood up, playing with the gem tassels hanging on her chest, and raised her chin and said, "When I see the Queen Mother, what should I do with the gift?"
Qin Yining got up according to the words, bowed his knees respectfully, raised his hands together to the eyebrows, then bent down, put his hands on the ground, and put his eyebrows on the back of his hands: "The wife of a minister, please give the Queen Mother peace."
"Wrong, come again."
Qin Yining stood up as she said, and gave the standard gift just now: "The minister's wife greets the queen mother."
"Wrong, come again."
"The court lady greets the queen mother"
…
Kneel down, kowtow, get up and kneel again. After repeating this sixty or seventy times, Qin Yining's long white-toothed skirt was already dirty, and the spring shirt was thin, with signs of wear on the knees.
The wife was holding tea, squinting to see Qin Yining salute again and again.
Li Helan had already covered his mouth and laughed, "What, you teach others like this, and you may not be right even if you salut seven or eighty times."
Concubine Yun frowned and pretended to hesitate: "Cousin, would you like to let her rest for a while?"
"Have a break? Do you have the face to take a break?" Li Helan mocked.
Concubine Yun didn't say any more, she well concealed the excitement in her eyes, and simply admired Qin Yining's kneeling and salute again and again. I only felt that I had already avenged half of my revenge for being humiliated in front of the Queen by her wrist.
Princess Tana made Qin Yining kneel again twenty or thirty times before she turned around and said to the queen mother, "Why don't you go back to the queen mother, let him kneel three times and nine times in the direction of the Qianqing Palace, so that you can take a look?"
The queen mother nodded, "Sure, you can do it."
Princess Tana smiled and said, "Did you hear it, why don't you do it?"
Qin Yining's knees were numb, but she still stood up according to the words, turned to the direction of Qianqing Palace and bowed earnestly, shouting long live.
Ji Yun and Bingtang knelt behind the chair by the window, their eyes were already flushed, but they couldn't cry. Crying for no reason in the palace is a big taboo. They can't even plead for Qin Yining, their identities are humble, it's not their turn to speak...
I knew that the Queen Mother was uneasy and kind today, but I never thought that the Queen Mother would come up with such a method to torture people.
Qin Yining was very calm in her heart. This kind of hardship was only physical. If the queen mother only prepared for this level of hardship, she would have to thank her.
Qin Yining saluted seriously, her skirt was dirty, her knees were numb, her temples were pine and hairpins were late, and she looked very embarrassed. Seeing Li Helan was in a good mood, she couldn't help laughing.
When the queen mother saw Li Helan smiling like that, she laughed too, and reprimanded in a fake manner: "Look at you, you don't know much, Princess Zhongshun is just performing a salute, not playing a monkey, as for you laughing Is it like this?"
When he heard the word "playing monkeys", Li Helan laughed even more cheerfully.
