Two strangers came to Qiyun Pavilion - concubine Guan Shasha and concubine Qu Donger.
Lu Qing didn't know them well, and he never had the chance to know them before.
She didn't know the purpose of these two people coming here. Due to the difference in status, she could only entertain them well.
The person with a pretty and pleasant face was Guan Shasha. She observed Lu Qing for a while with a smile. She was very satisfied with the groveling servility she was used to in her bones. The sense of crisis that just arose in her heart quickly disappeared: "I've heard it a long time ago. The prince has a favored beauty beside him, and we sisters want to come over and walk around when we are bored, do you mind, Concubine Wei?"
Lu Qing smiled lightly and said in a gentle voice: "Concubine Guan's words are serious."
Seeing that she seemed to have a good temperament, Guan Shasha believed that she couldn't make any big trouble.
Guan Shasha raised her chin and raised her lips and said, "Concubine Wei is still responsible for her duties. From now on, she will serve the prince well and her life will be good. Maybe she can be promoted to a concubine or something."
Although he said this, the contempt in his tone was not concealed at all. With such a humble background, she was lucky to be a concubine.
Lu Qing was naturally aware of it, but she would not offend others easily when she had nothing to rely on, so she calmly lowered her eyes and said without temper: "I'm just a concubine, I don't dare to think too much, and I definitely don't dare to be with the two of them. Compared to a concubine."
Guan Shasha listened to it and raised the corners of her lips to take a sip of tea.
Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and the next moment she felt a gaze focused on her.
Qu Dong'er, who hadn't said a word since entering the house, stared at Lu Qing curiously. When she looked over, he gave a friendly smile and said innocently: "No wonder you are favored, you are so good-looking!"
Qu Donger's expression and tone were sincere. She really thought that Lu Qing was beautiful. She was a kind of beauty that was unique even in the backyard of the Jin Palace where there were so many beauties. She looked pretty but there was a hint of tinge in her eyes. The innocence of toughness is easily overlooked at the moment.
Lu Qing was stunned. If the concubine hadn't looked so sincere, she would have thought it was just a mockery.
Guan Shasha, who felt the same way, immediately laughed out loud, her eyes flickering back and forth on the faces of Lu Qing and Qu Dong'er, and she said with a smile: "Concubine Qu's eyesight is not very good. It's not good to go on like this. See the doctor when it's time to see a doctor. Don't hide your illness and avoid treatment!"
Qu Donger laughed awkwardly, quickly picked up the teacup and looked away.
Lu Qing didn't say much and sent the two people out of Qiyun Pavilion in a polite manner.
There were no outsiders. Lu Qing put away the smiling face that had been hanging for a long time, rubbed her face with her slender hands, and told Man Dong: "Man Dong will go out later and inquire about the concubines, concubines and concubines in the house. I will If you don't know many people, wouldn't it be rude if you meet someone you can't name in the future?"
After the general recognized all the people in the palace, Queen Xu sent several nuns to the palace to teach the female family members etiquette.
Concubine Zhao died, and Emperor Xihe was a grown man. Empress Xu's arrangement showed her virtuousness as a legitimate mother.
"It is said that starting from tomorrow, the concubines and others in the mansion will have to receive training." Mandong said the news she had learned, "The concubine and the concubine also experienced it at the beginning. I heard from the maid in charge of the concubine. , the nuns are very strict and will be punished if you don’t learn well.”
Those who come from the palace naturally use unusual methods. Those methods can make people lose a layer of their skin.
Man Dong's eyes showed worry. She was about to comfort Lu Qing a few words, but found that her master seemed very excited.
"Aren't you afraid of being punished?"
"What are you afraid of?" Lu Qing was puzzled, "I will definitely cherish such a rare learning opportunity."
She knew the rules of being a maid, but they no longer applied to her now.
Lu Qing is not afraid of being punished, she works hard to study hard.
The next day, many concubines gathered in the back garden, with a few serious-looking nuns standing at the front.
Among the concubines, there were only a few who were favored, and Lu Qing was standing in the first row.
The nuns acted resolutely and did not say much. They started class as soon as everyone came.
Lu Qing had been practicing her walking posture all day long, and several handkerchiefs were soaked with sweat on her forehead.
Jing Feng and others have been complaining for a long time. Previously, they had thought of taking the opportunity to flatter their mother-in-law. Now they are concentrating on the practice, fearing that if they make a slight mistake, they will be hit on the calf by the ruler.
It is true that Lu Qing is not a young lady from an aristocratic family, she has only known how to be a maid.
I was beaten several times because I didn't hold my chest up and my head up, which must have left marks on my calves.
"Even though you are just concubines and not the real master, don't forget that you are the concubines of the King of Jin. If you don't learn etiquette well, it will be the prince's face..."
Lu Qing's legs were sore and her stomach was empty. It was dark before she returned to Qiyun Pavilion from the hands of her teaching mother.
She was really tired. After sitting on the couch and drinking two large bowls of warm water, she didn't want to move.
Ji Qin and Man Dong moved the dinner on the table to the small table and asked Lu Qing to sit on the couch and eat.
"The dining room made a new dish today. It's called potato soup. Except for the concubine and the concubine, only our Qiyun Pavilion has it."
Under Mandong's ardent expectation, Luqing took a bite of the potato soup with a spoon and said, "It's delicious. I can't finish it by myself. You can try it later too."
Mandong said cheerfully: "Thank you, concubine. You can eat first, and I will prepare some water for you to bathe in!"
While taking a bath, Lu Qing felt faintly nauseous, accompanied by abdominal pain.
I forced myself to get out of the bathtub. My face was pale and I couldn't breathe.
"What's wrong with you!" Ji Qin suppressed her panic, and while quickly dressing Lu Qing, she shouted: "Mandong! Go find Grandma Zhong and ask for a medical girl!"
Lu Qing was so uncomfortable that she bent over and vomited out all the dinner she had just eaten. Her stomach ached and she broke into a cold sweat.
Not long after, Mandong dragged a medical girl over to check Lu Qing's pulse.
"What did Wei Wei's concubine eat for dinner?"
Mandong told them one by one. The doctor thought for a moment and pointed out the problem: "Concubine Wei cannot eat yam."
A night of panic passed. Lu Qing felt much better after taking the medicine, but in the end she delayed class.
After Nanny Zhong learned about it, she made a special trip to Qiyun Pavilion.
"Your body is important. If you really want to learn, then go and beg the prince when you are ready. Left and right are not important matters."
Lu Qing was recuperating in Qiyun Pavilion with peace of mind, but the bowl of sweet potato soup spoiled her, causing Ji Qin to be stricter about her diet.
There was no taste or taste in her mouth. After a while, Lu Qing wanted to resist: "I should just not be able to eat yam. If you don't believe it, ask Dr. Jiang next time."
When Jiang Shui'er came to check Lu Qing's pulse again, the master and servant were all staring at her.
"... Just be careful with uneaten food, but don't be so careful with the rest." Jiang Shuier, wearing a veil, felt Lu Qing's pulse gently, "Concubine Wei is almost fine."
The nuns from the palace had already returned to the palace. Lu Qing was thinking about Aunt Zhong's suggestion and found an opportunity to ask King Jin that she should learn the etiquette and rules she should learn. She didn't want to make a fool of herself in the future.
