The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

"...Do I still want to learn this?" Lu Xiaoqi sat blankly on the embroidery ball and murmured with a confused look on her face. She had an urge to reach out and use her fingers to pick out her ears unsightly. She suspected that she might have heard wrongly.

Aunt Zhong sat opposite Lu Xiaoqi with a sweet smile. A hint of deep meaning flashed across her face when she heard this, but she soon showed a reserved and gentle smile, giving people the feeling of a very trustworthy elder: "Girl, You are the eldest lady of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, and you will inevitably be admitted to the palace by the Queen in the future, so you still need to learn these etiquette. "

Lu Xiaoqi snorted, not seeing the deep meaning in Nanny Zhong's eyes, and nodded stupidly: "You seem to be right." She tilted her head, and as soon as she thought about it, something was wrong, she quickly added , "But I just need to learn the etiquette of meeting noble people. There is no need to learn it in such depth."

After Nanny Zhong was appointed as the housekeeper next to Lu Xiaoqi, she took over the affairs of Sheng Xuanhua's courtyard. Not only did she manage the affairs in her courtyard very properly, but she also had to worry about Lu Xiaoqi's efforts. The servants who went to beat and warn were all kept in obedience, and the atmosphere in the whole yard was completely changed.

It can be said that Aunt Zhong saved Lu Xiaoqi a lot of trouble. Aunt Zhong has lived with the Queen in the Prince's East Palace and the Royal Palace for more than ten years. She has never seen any battles, so why can't she deal with the Dingbei Hou Mansion? The inner courtyard of this three-quarter acre of land?

Aunt Zhong really helped Lu Xiaoqi a lot and gave her a lot of advice, which made Lu Xiaoqi feel suddenly enlightened and refreshed. This made her really grateful to Aunt Zhong, and also to General Zhong. The original owner, my father, who was sent over by grandma, showed some thanks.

If it weren't for Aunt Zhong, Lu Xiaoqi felt that she might not be sitting here calmly learning boudoir knowledge from Aunt Zhong, but still working hard to subdue the servants in the yard. It would probably take a lot of effort. It will take a long time to turn around Sheng Xuanhua's previous image.

But no matter how much he thanked Aunt Zhong, Lu Xiaoqi was still a little insensitive to what she was going to learn today. Because today, Aunt Zhong was not teaching her the middle-class things she had learned in the past, such as managing servants and handling housework, nor was she teaching her about women's embroidery, such as needlework, watching tea and burning incense, but the "Royal Etiquette Ceremony".

Aunt Zhong glanced at Lu Xiaoqi and couldn't help but ponder for a moment. If the eldest daughter of the Dingbei Hou Mansion and the third prince were in love, she should be very active in learning royal etiquette at this time. But looking at her appearance, she was quite Reluctant, it seems that he is ignorant. Could it be that... the third prince is wishful thinking?

But even if the third prince is wishful thinking, if his determination is really firm, I am afraid that your majesty and the empress will find a way to make him get what he wants. The third prince is the second son, and Emperor Yan Ming has set a plan for him to be a good king since he was born. Luzi, they felt quite guilty towards this legitimate son, and they became even more unwilling to wrong her.

Aunt Zhong smiled slightly, and rolled up her sleeves elegantly and calmly. She reached out to pick up the purple sand teapot, poured the tea for Lu Xiaoqi, and said with a smile: "Girl, it is not enough to just learn the etiquette of meeting nobles. Dingbei Hou She is highly valued by His Majesty. She is the eldest daughter. To show his respect, the Queen will definitely talk to her. Should she just sit there in silence? "

In fact, Lu Xiaoqi realized at this time that one of the original owner's wishes was to marry Prince Rui and become Princess Rui? After marrying into the royal family, she really should learn the royal rules. Anyway, what happened during the period when she used the body of the original owner, after she returned the body to the original owner, she will remember it, then, then learn it?

As soon as Lu Xiaoqi's attitude softened, Aunt Zhong immediately smiled and signaled the maids to bring two futons and prepare to start teaching. In the Royal Etiquette Ceremony, the first etiquette is of course the etiquette used when meeting His Majesty and the Queen, that is... the kneeling ceremony.

"Miss, the eldest young master and the second young master are here to see you." A maid came to the side hall where Lu Xiaoqi studied with quick steps, but smooth and dignified. Standing at the door, she curtsied and whispered.

Lu Xiaoqi, who had been kneeling with Aunt Zhong all morning, was so dizzy that her eyes were filled with tears. Her face was full of "saved" expressions. The gratitude in her eyes almost turned into reality. At this moment, she expressed her gratitude to the original owner. The favorability of the two cheap brothers suddenly soared: Benefactor!

As a demonstrator, Aunt Zhong salutes no less frequently than Lu Xiaoqi, and she also has to kneel in an elegant, calm, dignified and freehand manner. This is much more difficult than Lu Xiaoqi's nondescript kneeling salute, but it is still difficult for Aunt Zhong. My face didn't turn red, my heart didn't beat, and I didn't feel tired at all.

She stood up and smiled slightly, then smiled at the expectant Lu Xiaoqi and said, "Since it is the girl's brother who is here, the girl should tidy up and change her clothes to meet the two young masters." She turned to look at the two young masters. The maid who came to deliver the message said calmly, "Please invite the two young masters to sit in the main hall."

Lu Xiaoqi suddenly showed a happy and cheerful smile, ah ah, finally relieved for the time being. She felt that her waist would break if she knelt down again. What kind of kneeling ceremony, and asking her to straighten her back... Alas, Lu Xiaoqi almost gave up the task on impulse and asked the original owner to come over and hold the tank so that she could learn.

However, the reality made her make a wise choice. She was heavily in debt and had no confidence to refuse this task, so she could only grit her teeth and follow what Aunt Zhong said to learn etiquette. She could only comfort herself, maybe she would need it in the future. ?

After changing clothes, Lu Xiaoqi went to the main hall with Nanny Zhong to meet Sheng Xiuyang and Sheng Xiuming. The two of them still had a lot of affection for Sheng Xuanhua, their sister from the same mother. Every few days, after paying respects to Liu in the backyard, they would come to see Sheng Xuanhua and bring her some new and interesting gadgets from time to time. The relationship between the brothers and sisters was pretty good.

However, there was a gap between men and women. Sheng Xiuyang and his brother had already moved out of the backyard and opened up their own yard in the front yard. They usually focused on matters related to their future and the government. They didn't have much to talk about with their sister. Even if they wanted to reminisce about Lu, Sheng Xuanhua had no impression of her mother.

Sitting at the bottom of the main hall, Lu Xiaoqi had an elegant and reserved smile on her face, chatting awkwardly with Sheng Xiuyang and his brother. They cared about each other's recent lives, and after a few words of nonsense such as "take care of yourself and listen to your father", the atmosphere became awkward, and both sides had nothing to say for a while.

Sheng Xiuyang coughed lightly, then took out a long flat wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to a maid standing in the main hall, asking her to pass it to Lu Xiaoqi: "This is what the Third Prince asked me to bring to you. He said he had promised to bring you something before, but he just hadn't found the right opportunity."

After Lu Xiaoqi took the wooden box, she looked confused: "What did the Third Prince promise to bring me? Why did he ask you, my brother, to pass it on?" As she spoke, she opened the wooden box casually, and then saw a golden slingshot inside.

Nanny Zhong, who was standing next to Lu Xiaoqi and saw the slingshot:...

Sheng Xiuyang and Sheng Xiuming, who were sitting opposite Lu Xiaoqi across the wide hall:...

Looking at the slingshot with a dazed look, Lu Xiaoqi raised her hand and rubbed her brows. After thinking for a while, she remembered: "Yes, I remember that my slingshot was knocked into the water by the third prince, and he said he would compensate me with one."

The original owner herself didn't remember this. If Lu Xiaoqi hadn't reviewed the original owner's memory again, she would probably not remember it. At this time, she couldn't help but laugh foolishly, closed the wooden box, and casually Put it on the coffee table beside: "I didn't expect the third prince to remember this little thing. The third prince is really a trustworthy person."

Sheng Xiuyang coughed lightly and changed the topic as if nothing had happened. He had no intention of commenting on his sister's seemingly unusual "hobby". He chuckled and answered Lu Xiaoqi's question just now: "The emperor conferred the title of Taifu to my father a few days ago. Now the second and third princes often come to the mansion to listen to my father's teachings. We have also met the second and third princes in the front yard."

"I see." Lu Xiaoqi didn't really care about this, but just smiled and agreed. Since Nanny Zhong came, her plan to please the original owner's father, make friends with her two brothers, and get along with her stepmother Liu and stepsister Sheng Minghua when she first came to this world has not been realized. She is busy learning from Nanny Zhong all day long.

Sheng Xiuyang and Sheng Xiuming looked at each other, and then Sheng Xiuming took the initiative to say, "In a few days, the Grand Princess will hold a flower-viewing banquet. The Third Prince asked if you would like to go. He said that he lost some of your things last time..." His eyes gently swept over the wooden box containing the slingshot, and he continued, "Although he has repaid it, he still feels guilty and hopes to apologize in person."

"No need." Lu Xiaoqi said blankly, "I don't like playing slingshots anymore. I fell into the water before, and I don't care. There is no need to apologize to me. The Third Prince doesn't need to care about this matter so much."

Sheng Xiuming looked at his sister's clean and innocent eyes and suddenly felt a toothache. If the Third Prince hadn't said that he would send him a good horse, he would not help him pass on the message. Look at his sister, she hasn't even opened her mind yet, and the Third Prince is so active. He is really deliberate.

"In that case, let's respond to the Third Prince in this way." Sheng Xiuyang made the final decision and made his judgment. He smiled at Lu Xiaoqi, warm and gentle: Very good, it seems that my sister was not taken away.
