No normal person can stand Princess Leyang's closed-eyed bragging that completely ignores the facts, let alone someone like Jiang Xuening who has a psychological shadow from her previous life.

But 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 outside, saying that the Empress Dowager asked her to come and talk to relieve boredom, so Shen Zhiyi had no choice but to reluctantly go.

Before leaving, he held Jiang Xuening's hand and said: "Anyway, this princess likes you. If there is anything to do in the palace these few days, just tell the maids of Yangzhizhai, and they will come to report to me. The queen mother will find you , I’m going right now, and I’ll come see you tomorrow.”

Jiang Xuening breathed a sigh of relief, and watched Shen Zhiyi leave.

In the end, the day ended when she "barely" finished learning court etiquette with Su Shangyi, who worked hard and had great patience—

no way.

It was too tiring to pretend, and Jiang Xuening recalled Shen Zhiyi's attitude on this matter, and even said "it doesn't matter if you don't succeed in learning", so what's the point of her pretending?

If one plan fails, another plan must be made.

It's just that she couldn't let others see the clues, so she stayed up until it was getting late, as if she had been gradually taught by Su Shangyi, and her movements began to flow smoothly, and gradually met Su Shangyi's strict standards.

In the end, Su Shangyi rarely showed a look of relief, only looked at her, pointed to her and said to the crowd: "It can be seen that it doesn't matter how bad the talent is. There has been a saying since ancient times, 'Stupid birds fly first' and 'Diligence can make up for clumsiness', as long as you are willing With hard work, many difficulties in the world can still be overcome. Miss Jiang Er did very well today, you should take her as a mirror."

Jiang Xuening: "..."

Others were slandering from the bottom of their hearts that if this could be used as a "mirror mirror", everyone should not enter the palace, but they all said in unison: "Yes, Xie Su Shangyi for pointing it out."

Only then did Su Shangyi tell them to break up, and she left with the three female officers from the Shangyi Bureau.

In this late autumn weather, Jiang Xuening was sweating all over, and when she saw someone leaving, she didn't bother to say hello to anyone, and immediately went back to her room, asking the maid of Yang Zhizhai to prepare fragrant soup for her bath.

Others are lagging behind.

Chen Shuyi and Yao Xi, the daughter of Chen Yunjin, a cabinet scholar, walked beside Xiao Shu.

After she glanced at Yao Xi who was thinking about something, her gaze flickered slightly, and she said to Xiao Shu indifferently: "Although I haven't seen much with Your Highness the Eldest Princess, it's rare to see her being so nice to anyone. The second girl of the Jiang family is just putting on makeup for her, how can the princess treat her like this?"

Chen Shuyi didn't go to Qingyuan uncle's house, so naturally she didn't know.

But Xiao Shu was present the whole time.

She was playing with an exquisite incense fan in her hand, she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes and only smiled. It was not like Chen Shuyi who was a little shy, but rather casual: "Of course it wouldn't be so if it was just putting on makeup." , what matters is the words that were said at that time. Such words, Shuyi, you and I will never be able to say them in this life."

Chen Shuyi was thoughtful.

Because it was the first time for everyone to get together on this kind of occasion, and it was the first day when they entered the palace. In the evening, everyone had washed up and had a meal. Gathered in the flowing water pavilion for everyone to read and drink tea.

Jiang Xuening had no interest at all.

You have to know that this group of people didn't talk about any interesting topics in their last life. They were all those fragrances and heads. It's really nothing new to talk about the young talents outside.

But now everyone thinks she is amazing.

Who told her to have more face with Princess Leyang?

Everyone saw the situation when I was learning etiquette today. Although I felt that she opened the back door too much, on the surface, she was even more friendly to her. "At this level, the words are very gentle, even You Yue put away the previous hostile eyes when she saw her, and forced a smile from her lips.

So she was pulled over by Fang Miao and others.

There were six or seven people sitting at a round table, and the rest were sitting scattered on the kang by the window, talking to each other, and occasionally eating candied fruit and dried fruits prepared on the plate.

Zhou Baoying plunged headlong into the food, and no one looked up.

On the other hand, Xiao Shu seemed to look at Jiang Xuening differently. When she saw her coming in, she nodded and said hello, and smiled: "Sister Jiang's family has really made a big splash this day."

Jiang Xuening was so tired that she could only smile at the corners of her mouth, making an awkward look, as if she didn't know what to reply, and said, "Sister Xiao was joking."

Xiao Shu saw that she had no intention of chatting with anyone, so she couldn't talk to her in depth, so she turned her head to talk to someone else.

Everyone couldn't help but complain about today's female officer.

Yao Rongrong sat in the corner rather timidly, her face flushed red: "I haven't been taught these things since I was a child, and I was too slow to learn. Fortunately, there is a sister of the Jiang family, who is similar to me. Otherwise, I don't know what to do today..."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Should I say this girl is stupid or very stupid?

You just know this kind of thing in your heart, so why say it out of your mouth?

The room suddenly fell silent for a moment.

You Yue ate a melon seed, although she didn't dare to make it too obvious, her eyes showed interest in watching the show.

Yao Rongrong reacted for a while before realizing that she had said the wrong thing, and remembering Jiang Xuening's face in front of the princess today, she flinched and apologized to Jiang Xuening: "I, what I just said didn't mean that..."

Jiang Xuening: "..."

I'm not angry, I just feel sorry for her.

She didn't have much contact with Yao Rongrong in her previous life, and she didn't intend to embarrass her, so she just smiled casually: "It doesn't matter, I am stupid at first, and I really can't learn it well. It's just that Su Shangyi is too responsible. I come here over and over again, do you want to learn? It's all difficult."

Fan Yilan was kind-hearted, originally she took a collection of poems from the bookshelf and flipped through them in her hand, at this time, she probably saw Yao Rongrong was in distress, so she interjected and said: "It seems that you need to learn etiquette in the palace for two days, right? At the beginning, the palace said that we had to stay for three days when we entered the palace for the first time. I heard that on the last day, the gentlemen would come up with questions to test us, to see how knowledgeable everyone is, so as to determine the content of the lectures in the future. Deep and shallow. I just don’t know which gentleman will take the exam at that time…”

Who else?

Thank you Ju'an.

Jiang Xuening sneered from the bottom of her heart.

Sure enough, Chen Shuyi, who was very reticent before, replied: "It should be Mr. Xie, the young master. Now he is presiding over the sutra banquet lectures in the palace, and he is very knowledgeable. This time, he will teach me how to play the piano again." When I entered the palace, my father told me that it was not the same as being able to study with the princess. In addition to learning etiquette, I also had to learn to live up to the gentlemen Close. It doesn’t matter if it’s too good, but if it’s too bad, it’s not easy to arrange lectures if you stay with the princess companion. If you speak too deeply, you can’t understand it, and if you speak slowly, it will drag Her Royal Highness. So the exam on the third day is also used to select Human. If it is not suitable at that time, I will also be persuaded by my husband to leave."

— This is Jiang Xuening's second plan.

The etiquette level is due to the changes of Su Shangyi and Princess Leyang, seeing that no matter how she pretends to be stupid, she can pass it even lying on the ground, so naturally, the possibility of being persuaded to leave the palace because she can't learn etiquette is completely eliminated.

But Princess Leyang couldn't handle Xie Wei!

As long as she can break through her bottom line in the third day of the school examination, hand in blank papers or write a random sentence, she will definitely offend Xie Wei or other gentlemen who never lower their requirements in this regard, and then she will be 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 ladies of the aristocratic family suddenly became a little excited.

One said: "Could it be that Mr. Xie came in person?"

You Yue joked, "Why are you blushing?"

Na spat at her, covered her face, and said, "If you see her someday, you will blush too!"

Yao Rongrong answered the words timidly again: "I also heard my father mention Mr. Xie many times at home, but he said that Mr. Xie will be here in four years, but he has been alone all the time, and he doesn't talk about marriage. , but it's really weird."

Fang Miao raised her head immediately: "What's so strange about this?"

Yao Rongrong let out a soft "ah".

Fang Miao lowered her head to arrange the copper plates on the table again, as if she wanted to count something, she said: "Everyone in Beijing knows that although Mr. Xie was born in Confucianism, in recent years he has devoted himself to the study of Buddhism and Laos. In the past month, going to Xuankong Temple and Sanqing Temple to fast and live temporarily, and to talk about scriptures and Taoism with others, is pure-hearted and ascetic, and it is not rare to not have a family."

Not close to women?

Mentioning this, Jiang Xuening couldn't help but think of the embarrassment in her previous life.

At this moment, all kinds of vicious thoughts popped up in my heart: what is said to be pure-hearted and ascetic, but he doesn't even have a woman around him in a high-ranking position, so it's impossible to keep everything!

Everyone was joking and joking.

Suddenly there was a little palace maid outside the door who bowed and called Jiang Xuening softly: "Miss Jiang, someone is looking for you."

Jiang Xuening raised her eyebrows immediately, and subconsciously asked, "Who is it?"

The little maid blinked her eyes and looked at her without speaking.

Jiang Xuening recalled the events of her previous life, she suddenly understood, she stopped asking, and just said to the others: "Excuse me, I'll go out and have a look."

Then he followed the little maid and walked out from Yangzhizhai.

All the way was in the direction of Wenhua Palace.

Seeing that she was about to reach the range of the previous court, she stopped at the fork not far from the road, and looked up again. Yan Lin was wearing a black robe, standing under the begonias, waiting for her.

The little maid retreated quietly.

Jiang Xuening stepped forward: "It's so late, you haven't returned from the palace yet?"

Yan Lin heard from Shen Jie that the eldest princess was learning etiquette with her readers today, and she was afraid that she might suffer some grievances, so she came to take a look, and looked at her carefully at this moment, saying: "The palace gate is still open. It took a while for the key to be released. I am really worried about your first return to the palace. I also heard that Su Shangyi who taught you today was very strict, and you even fell in front of the eldest princess. Well, just now, I stopped by the imperial hospital to ask for help. After taking the medicine, remember to apply it at night, don’t go to the palace and turn back lame. I don’t want such a bride.”

Unknowingly, he said something about his children.

Jiang Xuening looked normal.

Yan Lin's cheeks flushed, and suddenly realized that he was Meng Lang again, he couldn't help covering his lips and coughing to cover it up, and changed the subject: "Are you still used to it today?"

The medicine he begged for was packed in a small white porcelain bottle, Jiang Xuening held it cold in his hand, looked up at the boy in the night, and said: "I'm still used to it, and the Eldest Princess takes good care of me, don't worry. "

Yan Lin told Shen Zhiyi specifically, and she was relieved after hearing it.

With a slight smile on his lips, he looked at her with a different look.

It was like grabbing the little tail of a sneaky cat.

He only hurriedly said: "At the end of today's lecture in the Wenhua Palace, I met Mr. Shi Lang."

This should be Jiang Boyou.

Jiang Xuening didn't understand what he meant, so she blinked at him.

Yan Lin raised his eyebrows and said: "He asked me, did I teach you some way to govern people a while ago, so that you could take a copy of "Children Learning Qionglin" and pretend to be an account book to punish disobedient servants in the house. I thought about whether it should be asked about me for no reason, and it seems that it is not a bad thing, so I admitted it. But you know, I know, I have not taught it. "

Jiang Xuening lowered her eyes: "I just knew you would lie for me, so I pushed it on you."

Yan Lin scratched the bridge of her nose with a smile, and only asked: "Who taught that?"

Jiang Xuening said, "I figured it out myself."

Yan Lin stared at her, did not speak for a while, under a pair of dark eyes, his gaze flickered slightly, but finally reached out his hand, touched her head, and said: "My Ning Ning has It's a secret."

yes.

Your Ningning has a secret.

It's just this secret, she will never dare to tell you.

Jiang Xuening only raised her eyes to look at him again, her eyes were black and white, as transparent and beautiful as glass beads, but she didn't speak.

Yan Lin said quickly: "Then one day you want to tell someone, tell me, okay? I want to be the first person in the whole world to know Ningning's secret."

The boy looked at her with infinite tolerance.

Jiang Xuening's heart softened for a moment.

However, what is churning in the memory is the last life when he walked backwards into his bedroom with the smell of alcohol all over his body. His fingers holding the white porcelain medicine bottle tightened slightly, but he nodded in the end and said: "good."

Yan Lin was satisfied, and the little unhappiness from before dissipated completely, only because it was not too early, and he was afraid of missing the time for the key of the palace gate, so he said reluctantly: "You are all learning the rules these few days, I'm afraid I will also be tested by my husband on school knowledge, so it is not easy for me to come to you explicitly. See you here at this time tomorrow. I will go and find out what you will be tested on the third day, so that you can get ready and I will give you some time. .”

Jiang Xuening was speechless.

In fact, she still remembers a lot of what was tested in the last life, but it doesn't make any difference whether she knows it or not in this life, because she didn't intend to let herself pass it at all.

But she did not reject the boy's kindness at the moment.

Still said: "Okay."

The next day, people from Shangyi Bureau came.

It's just that what was taught this time was not simple etiquette, but the names of various people in the palace, and even taught the techniques and techniques of mixing and making incense.

Everyone thought Jiang Xuening would be just as clumsy today.

But he never expected that today Jiang Xuening seemed to have suddenly opened up, he could learn everything, and he could learn everything quickly!

For the names of various people in the palace, you can memorize them backwards only by repeating them three times;

The rules of walking and retreating can be completely memorized after watching the female officer demonstrate;

Not to mention making incense.

Smell the fragrance, identify the fragrance, adjust the fragrance, burn the incense, and turn the delicate hands. It is done in a clear and logical way, and every movement can be called smooth and smooth, which is pleasing to the eye!

Su Shangyi, who was tortured enough because of Jiang Xuening's etiquette yesterday, came here today without any hope. She just thought that if she had no other choice, she would listen to the eldest princess and let her go lightly.

But who would have thought that Miss Jiang Er would look like a different person!

Others might not notice it, but she saw it clearly when she stood in front of Jiang Xuening: When Jiang Xuening picked up the ebony incense seal, she lifted her little finger slightly, used the incense spoon to poke the incense ash onto the incense seal, and then put it When it hit the ashes that had been laid, it was impartial, and it was upright. The fragrant seal that was laid down just happened to have its flower heart facing straight ahead!

On the other hand, although the movements of the others were correct, most of the falling Xiangzhuan didn't pay attention to the direction.

Some are upside down, some are crooked.

Although most incense makers don't pay attention to the orderly placement of the incense seals, but the peony country is beautiful and heavenly, and it has always been the favorite of the queens of every dynasty, so Su Shangyi will pay great attention to it when she prints the incense seals.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuening would have such a compassionate heart that she could notice such tiny details...

Su Shangyi suddenly couldn't help looking at her with a new look, and after she finished writing the incense seal, she said slowly: "His Royal Highness looks at you favorably, there really is a reason for it. I think some people in the world are born with four limbs. Uncoordinated, even walking on flat ground, I have to fall. The second girl may be one of them. But today I did a good job. Especially the incense making, it should be the first."

Jiang Xuening remained calm.

In her last life, she learned etiquette from Su Shangyi, and after staying in the palace for so long, she can naturally do better than others if she wants to do it.

Not to mention making incense—

This was one of the few hobbies in her previous life other than being a queen.

As for Mudan, she is the queen herself, so can she not care?

It's just that right now, of course, she can't say that in front of Su Shangyi, she just said: "My daughter prefers this way, so she has studied it, and she is showing off in front of Lord Shangyi today."

However, Su Shangyi already looked at her with admiration.

Hearing her talk like this, one can only think that she is modest, and her tone of voice is very natural and gentle compared to yesterday's reluctant, and said: "Today, the girl has learned everything she should have learned, and she is the first one to complete it. You can rest on the sidelines and see others."

other people:"…"

It is said that feng shui turns around, so why can't it turn on them!

Yesterday Jiang Xuening was a slow learner, and Su Shangyi tolerated her in every possible way; today she learned quickly like seeing a ghost, and Su Shangyi praised her in every possible way!

Now I actually sit aside and rest!

They are simply puzzled: how can they learn so fast, remember so firmly, and do so well? !

Jiang Xuening is really impatient to deal with it today: Since she knows that she has no way to leave the palace from the point of view of etiquette, if she pretends to be any more, she will just make trouble for herself, so it's better to finish it in the fastest time, that's fine. Sit aside and rest, so as not to sweat.

As for what other people think, she doesn't care.

Who could have opened their eyes and guessed that she was born again? It is just like Su Shangyi to find an excuse for her that her limbs are not well coordinated, and she may have been too nervous yesterday.

Yao Rongrong was the one who learned the worst and slowest besides Jiang Xuening yesterday. She thought that Jiang Xuening would be scolded together with her today, and felt that the two of them were sick and sympathetic.

But in the blink of an eye, Jiang Xuening had already sat down.

But she was still standing among the crowd, completely becoming the slowest and most stupid of them all, she was at a loss for a moment, she only looked at Jiang Xuening with envious and surprised eyes, secretly feeling a bit bitter .

Shen Zhiyi thought that what she learned today would be more complicated, so she went to the Empress Dowager'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 after I asked that she knew that she had finished her studies.

Looking at her for a while, I felt a little moved in my heart, and then stepped forward to take Jiang Xuening's hand, and said with a smile: "I knew that Ningning would not be a stupid person, but she finished it so quickly and worked so hard yesterday, It must be to not let me down. Ningning, you are so kind!"

Jiang Xuening: "..."

Tell Shen Zhiyi now that everything she did has nothing to do with her, will she be dragged down and beaten immediately?

After all, Jiang Xuening didn't dare to take any risks and acquiesced.

At this moment, I only sighed in my heart: Fortunately, I have to take the school knowledge test tomorrow, and if I fail the test, I can leave the palace. Otherwise, she would just pray to God and just send a thunderbolt to kill herself!
