The foolish king's marriage to the ugly concubine

Chapter 46 Learning the Palace Rules
Biting her lip and lowering her head, she concentrated on drying the princess's hair. When the hair was dry, she moved her fingers nimbly through the hair, and after a while, a simple but elegant bun was formed.

From the beginning to the end, Mu Xinran didn't say a word, and Qing'er was trembling from the beginning to the end, and she became more careful and neat in doing things, for fear that something would happen to her and she would end up with no body left.

After breakfast, the ceremonial mother of the palace came.

One night passed, and Mu Xinran, who had completely forgotten about this matter, suddenly covered her whole face with dark clouds, which made people daunting.

"The old slave pays respects to Princess Rui." A woman in her 40s walked up to Mu Xinran with delicate and graceful steps, but was not shocked by her ugly face.His face remained the same, his hands were lightly folded, placed on his left waist, he bowed his knees and bowed his head in salute, every movement was as standard as a robot.

Seeing her actions, Mu Xinran frowned unhappily, does she still want to teach herself to be like that?

"Are you the ceremonial mother sent by the emperor?"

"Exactly, Mrs. Xu, the old slave, the princess can call the old slave Madam Xu. In the next two months, the old slave will teach the princess some basic palace rules and etiquette, and the princess will not stop until the princess has learned it well." The soft and slow voice can neither be too high nor too loud, and it sounds very pleasant.

Sitting on the upper seat, drinking the Pu'er sent by the palace, he said casually: "I know of course. Please do the etiquette that I want to learn and show it to Bengong."

Mother Xu was taken aback. She probably didn't expect Mu Xinran to be so easy-going. She knew a thing or two about the rumors about Princess Rui even if she was deep in the harem. Such a rebellious princess is really the woman in front of her?Maybe it's a misinformation.After staying in the palace for a long time, I have a deep understanding of these things.

So she nodded slightly, and began to do the etiquette that Mu Xinran had to learn from the beginning to the end. Every etiquette action has its origin, story, essentials, and importance in the palace banquet. Halfway through, it was already After an hour passed, even Madam Xu, who had been immersed in palace rules and etiquette all year round, couldn't take it anymore, and a little cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

In the past, she also taught etiquette to many princesses and official ladies. However, at that time, she was taught one by one. No one asked her to do all the movements. During the teaching process, she also had time to rest. How could it be like now, doing half of it in one go? , Already out of breath.

"Princess, do you understand?" She said dryly, Mammy Xu stopped and looked at the woman sitting upright.

"It's all done?" Mu Xinran raised her eyes and raised her eyebrows, asking calmly.

"No, not yet, the old slave is afraid that the princess will not remember."

"Since you haven't finished, let's continue. I heard from the emperor that you are the best ceremonial mother in the palace, and many princesses and ladies are trained by you. Could it be that I think I'm easy to bully and don't want to do my best?" Do your best to teach me?"

Under the gaze of Mu Xinran's cold black eyes, Madam Xu was startled, and said again and again: "The princess is worrying too much, how dare the old slave bully the princess? The old slave will continue to do it, continue to do it."

Speaking at this time, she no longer had the calmness and composure she had when they first met. Since the emperor would send her to teach Princess Rui the palace etiquette, she must have a certain value for this princess Rui. Although she has some status among the palace ladies, so what? It is no match for a princess, if this cold princess wants to find fault with her, it will not be easy.

Gently wiped the sweat off her face with her hand, Madam Xu continued to explain the court etiquette behind, and another hour passed, the sun was shining outside, and the blue sky was like a mirror that had been wiped clean, bright and clear.

The clothes on Nanny Xu were almost soaked in sweat, and a few strands of hair fell from the meticulously combed bun. The delicate makeup on her face was damaged by sweat, and the face covered with thick foundation was like a dry and cracked white wall. Underneath, she is like a middle-aged woman with a rough appearance.

"Princess, these are all you have to learn, do you understand?" Nanny Xu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately she persevered, otherwise her reputation might be ruined.It turned out that it was so tiring to finish all the palace rituals at once.

Naturally, Mu Xinran smiled secretly when she saw Mother Xu's small movements, and a trace of evil flashed in her bright black eyes. Due to malnutrition, her skinny little face, which was a little younger than her actual age, showed a look of confusion: "It's hard work, Xu Mother, but I still don't understand, can I trouble Mother Xu to do it again?"

Hearing this, Nanny Xu's breathing was stagnant, and she almost rolled her eyes and lost her breath.

Steady her trembling voice, Mother Xu comforted her and said, "Don't be discouraged, princess. It's normal that you can't remember it after reading it once. The princess learns from the old servant one by one, and she will learn it soon."

"Princess, it's time for lunch, do you want to pass the meal?" Du Ruhai walked in at the right time and asked in a low voice.

Mu Xinran cast her eyes on Madam Xu, as if asking for her opinion.

Grandma Xu opened her eyes slightly, lowered her head and said, "My princess, let's eat first. This meal is also the most respectful. At palace banquets, sitting down and eating is essential. The princess can learn while eating."

What a troublesome old thing!
Mu Xinran cursed unhappily in her heart, but said with a faint smile: "Nurse Xu is really doing her duty, Housekeeper Du, please invite the prince too, just in time for Grandma Xu to teach him some palace rules."

Several people came to the dining room, and the huge round table had already set up sumptuous dishes, and Chu Xuanyu was also brought over.

"This old servant has met the prince, and the prince is blessed and safe." Madam Xu immediately gave a blessing salute.

Chu Xuanyu missed her by a few steps and jumped to the dining table. Looking at Mu Xinran who was sitting on the chair, she called out loudly, "Ma'am", then grabbed a chicken leg with her hand, put it in her mouth, and took a big bite.

Mu Xinran pulled the corners of her lips lightly, this guy really called Shangyin, and he said "lady" in one mouthful, for fear that others would not know that they were husband and wife.During dinner in the morning, he also reminded him not to call her lady, just call her name or princess, but he was very stubborn, and still called her very happily, like a naughty child, I don’t know why he used to be like that Listen to Chu Xuanpu's words.

Madam Xu's face froze, and she reminded, "My lord, use chopsticks when eating."

"The king is eating chicken legs, but he is not eating." Chu Xuanyu looked at her like an idiot, with chicken legs in his mouth, his cheeks were bulging, and his mouth was covered with oil.

In the eyes of Madam Xu, this is a very rude behavior, but if you compete with a fool, you will lose.

Mu Xinran was eating her own food, without any intention of helping, she secretly gave Chu Xuanyu a thumbs up, this old woman should be pissed off.

Unable to communicate with Prince Rui, Madam Xu turned to Mu Xinran.

"Princess, eat in small bites." Seeing Mu Xinran's 'bold and unrestrained' eating movements, Madam Xu immediately sounded the alarm and gave instructions.
