Concubine Xue's family in the Red Chamber

For some reason, the Empress Dowager knelt down in front of the Buddha in a plain dress, and sincerely had to eat fast and chant Buddha in the Buddhist hall in the backyard.

At noon today, she had already given off her horse power, and at the moment she couldn't arouse any interest in these little girls, at most she arranged for someone to look at the girl she ignored this morning.

Greetings at night, from the beginning to the end, the empress dowager didn't turn her head to look at them, and she didn't even need them to accompany her, she just waved her hand to let them back.Such a perfunctory and contemptuous attitude can be seen by everyone.

When the young girls in the three grades walked out of the Buddhist hall, their complexions inevitably changed.

When Princess Nan'an, who was pampered and spoiled by her elders since she was a child, walked out of the Buddhist hall, she felt a little melancholy.The family spent a lot of money to arrange for her to enter the palace, just hoping that she would have a good future, even if she couldn't enter the palace, she could marry the empress dowager to a powerful family.

However, things often backfired. Not only did they not see the hope of entering the palace, even the empress dowager ignored them, and her family's vagrant money seemed to be in vain.If he had known that the Empress Dowager was at odds with His Majesty, it would be better to leave the money to her as a dowry.

Once 10 taels of silver are put in the dowry pile, I really will have no worries for the rest of my life.

Although Princess Nan'an said that she was not very polite to those who were inferior to her, and was usually arrogant and domineering, she had indeed learned the rules. Although her face was ugly, she never complained about what should not be said, even Not long after I walked out of the Buddhist hall, my mind has returned to normal.

On the contrary, Lin Daiyu, who has always been well-behaved, has never been able to let go of the things since entering the palace. From the moment she walked out of the Buddhist hall, when she saw no maids around her staring at her, golden beans fell one by one. For speechless.

Sensitive Lin Daiyu cried when she first entered Jia's mansion. At that time, the old lady still cared about her anyway, and no one else would criticize her, but now in this deep palace, who would care about her?She started crying as soon as she left the Buddhist hall, and it would be nice if the masters in the palace didn't say that she was disrespectful.

Princess Nan'an looked back at the calm Xue Baolin, then glanced at the beautiful and frail Lin Daiyu, rolled her eyes, and taunted uncomfortably and kindly.

"Today I realized that the old Fengjun of Jia's mansion is only capable of teaching his children and grandchildren. In the past, my elder brother also said that the old lady of Jia's mansion was so wise that none of his granddaughters came from other merchants and knew the rules. This person No matter how capable you are, it’s nothing more than this.”

Lin Daiyu stagnated physically and mentally, feeling more and more wronged, and couldn't help turning around to stare at Xue Baolin.

"Why should Nan'an Princess provoke you? Don't forget that this is Jing'an Palace, not your Nan'an Palace."

Princess Nan'an smiled coldly, "Yes, if this is in my Nan'an Palace, do you still have the face to speak as a concubine? Hmph! This princess doesn't believe it, the women in the palace can tolerate you."

"Tolerance, it doesn't seem to have much to do with the princess, and the princess is not a member of the harem." This tone, the words, just want to piss off the Nan'an princess!

This guy seems to be talking to her with the attitude of His Majesty and concubine! ! !She is so shameless at such a young age, it can be said that she is worthy of being a concubine of a businessman. Not only is she a philistine, but also like her aunt, she has been a vixen since she was a child, and she can't stand on the stage.

Seeing that the topic had changed, Xue Baolin stopped paying attention to Princess Nan'an, and instead walked to Lin Daiyu's side, gently holding her hand.

"Sister Lin, I don't know if anyone has told you that you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the palace. Even though there are no people around, you can't make sure that the walls have ears. Is my sister crying like this to let others know that the Queen Mother has criticized us? "

Lin Daiyu covered her mouth for an instant and shook her head wildly, looking at a loss, her eyes were wide open.

"Oh, Lin Daiyu, you are also the daughter of a second-rank imperial censor, why do you dare to run into the palace without any rules? Now that things are going on, you still need a business woman to teach you what it means to be cautious in your words and deeds! It's ridiculous !" Princess Nan'an rolled her eyes greatly, and had a general idea about the old lady of Jia's mansion in her heart.

Lin Daiyu covered her mouth, her eyes were full of grievances and helplessness, she didn't blink, she was full of grievances and helplessness, yes, how could she be the daughter of the dignified second-rank imperial censor, why did she look like this, maybe in the eyes of sister Xue, she is also so good No table.

But what can she do?Living in Jia's mansion, every piece of paper is used in Jia's mansion, and you have to look at others all the time. In Jia's mansion, only Baoyu and the old lady think about her all the time. No matter what.

Furthermore, even though the old lady loves her so much, she never thought of teaching her how to behave. She only let the sisters play with her all day long, and taught her everything about marrying and hosting middle school.In the past, Tanchun also wanted to learn, but he had no chance.

Even the girl from Jia's family is like this, so what can she do as a guest?

At this moment, Lin Daiyu envied Xue Baolin who was able to support herself. Even though she was a concubine, she lived a chic and comfortable life, and she could learn what she needed to learn.

"Forget it, this princess is not as knowledgeable as you, Rongguo Mansion... Heh!"

After Nan'an County Master said this, he left the yard with small steps. At this moment, there was no one around, so it was so strange to look at it quietly.Xue Baolin didn't want to stay here, so he pulled Lin Daiyu, who was in a trance, to follow Nan'an Princess.

After they left, a few court ladies who were hiding in the dark came out slowly. After a while, the outside of the Buddhist hall was full of girls again, but the few who came out first had already reported some information inside the Buddhist hall. .

The three girls all left the Buddhist hall, and when they came to the main courtyard, they saw a nun standing in the main courtyard, followed by a dozen or so little maids, each of whom was holding a lot of things in their hands.

Seeing the person coming, the nanny bowed to the maids, "His Royal Highness, the slave is the master of ceremonies, Madam Kui. The Empress Dowager ordered the slaves to teach the girls how to behave. Then arrange for the girls to chant the scriptures and Buddha, and the girls will come with the slaves."

This Nanny Kui looked stern, and she was not a simple character at first glance. Princess Nan'an had nothing to say, and naturally the other two girls had no part to ask.

The first place Kui took them to was the bathing pool in the Empress Dowager's Palace. Of course, there was not only one bathing pool in the Empress Dowager's Palace, and the one they were in was not used by the Empress Dowager.

"Girls, chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha pay attention to body cleanliness. In ancient times, some people bathed and changed clothes before worshiping Buddha. The girls first learned how to bathe and change clothes from the slaves." Kui said while talking about the rules in the palace.

In this graded place, even bathing and changing clothes are graded. There are so many rules that make one's scalp tingle. Princess Nan'an had already learned it when she was at home, but she followed the two Xiaobai, so she didn't want to be dragged down.

When the girls came out after changing into new clothes, their stomachs were rumbling with hunger.They were in the Empress Dowager's palace just now, but they didn't have dinner.

Although they didn't get any good treatment in Jing'an Palace today, Madam Kui was by their side, so naturally they wouldn't let them go hungry.

Both Lin Daiyu and Xue Baolin were learning palace etiquette for the first time. They thought their etiquette at home was not bad, especially Lin Daiyu. They were all swollen from the beating, and they hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls of food.

Princess Nan'an is full of pride at this moment. She sits upright, eats well, and has a gentle expression. From the beginning to the end, Madam Kui has never punished her, and the other two are still half empty. It's nice to drink tea, rest and watch a good show when you're full.

Mother Kui turned her head to look at His Royal Highness the princess in the play, and then put down the ruler in her hand. The rules cannot be taught in a day or two, and the girls will not leave in a day or two, so she is not in a hurry, and there is no need to anxious.

Without Nanny Kui's constant guidance, Xue Baolin still ate well with his posture. On the first day of entering the palace, it was painful and happy.

After the meal, the sky was completely dimmed, Kui Mama learned that the Queen Mother had left the small Buddhist hall, so she took the three maids to the small Buddhist hall, "Today is the first day for the girls to enter the palace, and the next three days will come to the small Buddhist hall." I will enter the palace once, and the empress dowager ordered, in order to let the Lord Buddha see the sincerity of the girls, please copy the scriptures carefully until dawn."

At this moment, not only Nan'an Princess, but also Xue Baolin couldn't hold back anymore, the corners of his mouth twitched constantly, what does it mean to copy the scriptures until dawn, if you don't get enough sleep, you won't grow tall, okay, that's simply unreasonable!

But she is the empress dowager, and the maids are small characters, how can they resist, kneeling obediently on the futon to copy the scriptures, Princess Nan'an and Lin Daiyu's handwriting are good, only Xue Baolin's handwriting is unsightly, Kui Nanny stood Beside her, the expression is quite serious and complicated.

Xue Baolin was sweating coldly, okay, okay, she wrote seriously, really seriously.I cry!I have never written so many brush characters, okay? She really can't write small characters with such a big brush.

This room is seriously copying books, and many eyeliners in the harem are secretly operating.

After Su Gonggong got the news, he immediately walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Jing'an Palace." Eunuch Su lowered his head in cold sweat, "The Empress Dowager made another move, not only sprinkled a little musk on the plain clothes, but also added imperceptible musk to the meals and the bath. If you use safflower for more than three days, the girls will definitely not be able to get pregnant again."

Shui Che's hands didn't even stop, but there was a slight mocking coldness at the corner of his mouth, "Are you alright?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Is there any movement over Concubine Zhen Gui and Jia Yuanchun?"

"That's not true, the two ladies didn't make a move, but Fengzao Palace broke a lot of cups and saucers today." Especially after people left Fengzao Palace.

Shui Che finally put down the imperial brush in his hand at this moment, with a faint smile on his face, "I can't help it, Su Qin, arrange more people in Jing'an Palace, if there is any movement, report it immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Su Qin retired respectfully, Shui Che still did not pick up the imperial pen to continue correcting the memorial, but stood up and rubbed his brows and went to the clean room at the back to take a bath to relieve fatigue.

When Su Gonggong finished giving his orders and walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he found that His Majesty had quietly fallen asleep in the bathtub. It was only a while ago!But before he walked in, His Majesty opened his eyes again.

"Your Majesty, are you going to bed?"

Shui Che didn't speak, just sat in the bathtub with his eyes closed, his meaning was quite star.The pile of memorials on the imperial table will get more and more tiring until they are all approved.

Eunuch Su had no choice but to calm down and help His Majesty loosen his bones.Since His Majesty came to power, it seems that he hasn't had a good rest. The front court is just busy, and even the harem is restless. The emperor and queen mother are especially noisy. The reason is that they are dissatisfied with His Majesty's position.

These two are both old, but one still has no taboos, and the other eats vegetarian food and recites Buddhism from now on, and deliberately moved to such a deserted palace to let outsiders accuse His Majesty of being unfilial, but all of this is beyond his control as the chief eunuch. , To what extent can His Majesty's tolerance reach.
