This woman is one year older than Fen Lan. She is wearing a lavender Suzhou embroidered dress, a jingle ring on her head, and a rare ice jade fan in her hand.
She glanced at the furnishings of the house before looking in the direction of Xie Wanyu.
Seeing that Xie Wanyu didn't speak, she smiled first and said, "Mengqin pays my regards to Madam."
Xie Wanyu didn't speak. The smile on her face had long since disappeared, replaced by a pair of searching eyes.
Her eyes fell on Fenlan's face, with questions in her eyes.
Fenlan smiled slightly, "Madam, this is my handkerchief for Su Mengqin." After saying that, she held Su Mengqin's hand very affectionately, "She heard that I was learning the rules here, so she wanted to come over and have a look, but I couldn't resist her. .”
Seeing Xie Wanyu's expressionless expression, Fen Lan felt more and more guilty as she spoke, and couldn't help but lower her head.
"Madam, Mengqin doesn't think you are a stingy person. You don't still remember the past, do you?" Su Mengqin asked, tilting her head.
Xie Fengya looked at Xie Wanyu in confusion, "What happened in the past?"
Xie Wanyu shook her head, "Everyone who comes is a guest, so I have no reason to chase them away. You just have to abide by my rules when you come here. If you talk in a weird way, I will definitely have someone beat you out with a big stick!"
"You!" Su Mengqin was not convinced.
But looking at Fen Lan, she endured it.
After all, the person she wants to befriend is not Xie Wanyu, but Fen Lan.
Fenlan is Taishuqin's beloved adopted sister, so Su Mengqin naturally wants to cling to her. Besides, she has her heart set on being with Taishuqin, and she has been eyeing Princess Qin's position for a long time.
I thought it would take a lot of effort, but I didn't expect Fen Lan to be so easy to handle.
"Madam, don't you like Sister Su? She is a very nice person." Fen Lan said.
Xie Wanyu said seriously, "I won't stop you from making friends with Miss Su. After all, I said before that you can have your own handkerchief to hand in, but I forgot to tell you what kind of person you want to make friends with. Today, I’ll tell you about it.”
After saying that, Xie Wanyu looked at Zhu Fang and said, "Put a cushion next to her. Since Miss Su is here, she will also listen."
Su Mengqin's eyes were filled with contempt. She felt that Xie Wanyu couldn't teach him anything good.
"In the past, men in the daughter's family rarely entered the hall. However, since the late emperor ascended the throne, he advocated openness of folk customs, so women can also go in and out of the hall and walk around the streets."
Xie Wanyu said loudly.
Su Mengqin, however, looked scornfully in her eyes, "It is recorded in the training of women's precepts that women should be at home in the backyard and be regarded as meng lang when they appear in public."
"In this case, Miss Su seems to be walking around the streets a lot." Xie Wanyu said, "You must wear a hat before going out. Have you done that?"
Su Mengqin pursed her lips, her face flushed with anger. Because she was young, she couldn't speak to Xie Wanyu. In the end, she could only snort and turn away from looking at Xie Wanyu.
Xie Wanyu smiled and continued, "Rules are set by people, so rules cannot be restricted by books."
Because Xie Fengya thought it was right, she kept nodding. However, Fenlan never understood this, so she listened to whatever Xie Wanyu said.
"I also have a handkerchief to hand over. It's Mrs. He's family. Her family is clean and her husband's family is also a rising star. She never takes sides." After Xie Wanyu finished speaking, she looked at Fenlan.
Fenlan didn't understand what Xie Wanyu meant, and there was innocence in her eyes.
Xie Wanyu smiled and said, "Do you know the power of King Qin?"
"I don't know, I just know it's very powerful." Fenlan said truthfully.
Xie Wanyu said sternly, "The King of Qin is in charge of the country's military and is the head of the military attachés, while Miss Su's father has been the prime minister and is the head of the civil servants."
When Su Mengqin mentioned his father, he couldn't help but feel proud in his eyes.
She raised her chin and smiled slightly.
However, Xie Wanyu changed the topic, "A chief civil servant has a close relationship with a chief military officer. Will you be afraid of this? Are the two suspected of forming a clique for personal gain?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Fen Lan and Su Mengqin's expressions changed.
Xie Wanyu continued, "Fenlan has never been exposed to these things. It is normal for her not to know. Su Mengqin, your father should have warned you about this a lot since you were a child, right?"
Su Mengqin looked pale and said nothing.
She only focused on making friends with Fen Lan and thinking about Tai Shuqi, but she forgot about this aspect.
At this moment, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She stood there with her eyes wide open and her lips trembling, but she could not say a word.
Fenlan didn't know about this, but she understood the meaning, "I, I don't want to implicate the prince, so please help me."
There were tears in her eyes and she was so scared that she almost cried.
Xie Wanyu looked at her, "Now that you have just made friends, it hasn't been a long time, and the matter hasn't spread yet. Just be careful in the future."
This is the life lesson Xie Wanyu taught Fenlan.
It has nothing to do with books.
Afterwards, in order to appease their emotions, Xie Wanyu told them how to arrange flowers, and then let them practice by themselves while she went out to get some fresh air.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Tai Shuqi sitting on the swing, sleeping with his arms folded.
Beside him was Yan Qingzhao standing with his sword in his arms.
Yan Qingzhao nodded slightly as a greeting.
"Your Majesty's presence here really makes me, like Panyun Mountain, shine brightly." Xie Wanyu said with a smile.
Tai Shuqi then opened his eyes and pointed to his side, "Sit."
Xie Wanyu was not polite and sat on another swing.
Yan Qingzhao was very sensible and immediately retreated to the gate and sat under the tree to enjoy the cool air.
"You're right." Tai Shuqi said.
"Since you want to keep Fenlan's blank piece of paper by your side, you should tell her some things to prevent her from missing your business." Xie Wanyu said seriously.
Tai Shuyi smiled and said, "It will be good if you teach her."
"Don't expect everything from me. I don't know much." Xie Wanyu felt helpless.
Tai Shuyi said, "The people who teach the children of the Xie family are not just one or two great Confucians. Your knowledge is no less than that of my king."
Because the Xie family is the emperor's master, they have learned more than any prince. Otherwise, how to become the emperor's master.
As a woman, Xie Wanyu has to learn more.
This is almost universally known, so even if the Xie family's daughters are concubines, there are many who marry princes and generals.
Xie Wanyu was so entangled with Heli because she was worried that it would disgrace the Xie family.
"Your Majesty is so complimentary," Xie Wanyu said.
Tai Shuqi looked her up and down, as if he wanted to see through her, "Then if you don't let Fen Lan and Su Mengqin get to know each other, is it for the overall good or for selfish reasons?"
"There is also the overall situation, and there is also selfishness." Xie Wanyu and Tai Shuqi have experienced life and death, so naturally they have nothing to hide. "Su Mengqin is arrogant and has impure thoughts. He is also on good terms with the Queen Mother. Fen Lan has a pure mind. With her, Together, we will either be plotted and used, or we will be led astray, no matter which one, it will not be good for you or me."
Tai Shuyi nodded, obviously, he also thought of this.
His eyes were full of praise for Xie Wanyu, but he still asked, "Is there nothing else?"
"Something else?" Xie Wanyu was confused.
