Chapter 351 (1/2)
Zhou Leping looked at her, feeling a little confused.
Sword in front of her eyelids do not shake for a while, I do not know why suddenly some unable to step.
The queen mother made a gift to her and said, ”hello to the five imperial concubines.”
An he winked at Zhou Leping, who said slowly, ”get up.”
Mammy straightened up and said, ”from today on, I will teach the five imperial concubines the rules. Her Highness means from today on. If the imperial concubines are not inconvenient, let's start now.”
”No way!” She roared so loud that she was startled. ”Well, I have something to see Zhu GuanLiang. I'll learn the rules when I see him.”
Mammy Wang said, ”Your Highness has just gone out.”
”Then wait for him to come back. I'll learn it after I tell him. Anyway, it's not too bad.”
One day many years ago, she went into the palace with her father. After entering the palace, she ran around with Zhao Deng. At that time, it was the emperor's draft. She and Zhao Deng were lying on the palace wall to watch the girls practice their rules, staring at a teabowl with boiling water on her head, holding another cup in her hand, and at her feet was a bench that was only a palm wide. The girls had to walk on it for half an hour without spilling a drop of water, If you don't shake your body, you'll pass.
Many pretty girls can stand, but they are covered with water when they move, or they fall off the stool. Up to now, as long as they hear the words ”learn the rules”, their ears are full of screams of scalding or falling.
If she is allowed to study like this, she will be scalded in two days.
Mammy Wang refused her excuse even if she didn't want to. She said, ”you can learn first. If you have something to say, you can wait until your highness comes back.”
Anhe had been arranged to learn the rules before, so when he saw that mammy Wang was also pestle, he naturally did not dare to stay with Zhou Leping. He said in a hurry, ”take care of yourself, sister-in-law of the fifth emperor,” and then blew out like a gust of wind.
Zhou Leping didn't say a word to keep her. She and mammy Wang were left in the room.
”The fifth Highness has just explained that the imperial concubine has old wounds and should not be too tired. She only learns some simple rules. The maidservant knows the rules, so the imperial concubine can rest assured.”
Knowing that she is injured, I still want her to learn these. What's the special explanation to keep her from being too tired? Is it a slap and a sweet date?
”Now that you are married to the fifth Royal Highness, you will be from the state of Qi from now on. The proprieties of the state of Zhao can't be used any more. What's more, when you were a general, you have to change your preference. For example, just now, it's very impolite to speak loudly. A woman should have a gentle attitude. No matter when she speaks, she should speak softly. Otherwise, it's easy to think of a shrew.”
”I'm used to having a loud voice. I can't learn to speak softly.”
