Qin Yining and the Empress slowly walked towards Kun Kun Palace. The atmosphere was very relaxed.
"She used a lot of strength in that attack. The bronze cauldron is also very hard. I'm afraid she won't be able to walk now." The Empress turned to look at Qin Yining with a smile in her eyes.
Qin Yining smiled and said: "I didn't touch her. She suffered the consequences of her own actions. Other people attacked for no reason. There's no reason for me to stand still and wait for others to bully me. "
"Wang Ye must love you very much."
Sometimes, she really envied Qin Yining. She could live so freely. Thinking about it, only a woman who was doted on by her husband could do what she wanted to do without fear, right?
Qin Yining looked at the Empress's bitter smile and knew what she was feeling.
Her voice was calm as she said: "Actually, this has nothing to do with Wang Ye's love. I'm just borrowing the identity he gave me. If I had retreated in the slightest today, not only would it ruin Wang Ye's identity, it would also make people look down on me. In the future, when my child comes back to Jing, he will have to interact with people in this circle sooner or later. If other people think I'm powerful, even if they want to bully my child, they will have to think twice. "
Qin Yining was talking about herself, but at the same time, she was reminding the Empress.
How could the Empress not understand Qin Yining's intention to persuade her? Her footsteps gradually stopped and she slowly turned to look at Qin Yining. When she met her gentle and encouraging gaze, her heart suddenly moved.
"Ben gong understands Wang Fei's good intentions." The Empress faintly sighed, "I also understand that if I don't live up to expectations, the one who will suffer in the future may be my son, but … …"
"Ben gong fu understands Empress's difficulties. Ben gong fu also understands your feelings. But there will always be difficulties and unwillingness in life. There will always be some choices to be made. Either follow your heart or follow your reason. In fact, no matter what you choose, the future is unknown. The only difference is whether you have more or less control over it. "
For so many years, no one had ever talked to the Empress like this. Once, when Li Qitian was fighting outside, she served her mother-in-law and sister-in-law at home like an old cow. Later, when she became the Empress, her life was still the same. She was born in an ordinary family. There were only a group of relatives in her family who were not educated and did not know any great principles, but always wanted to benefit from her.
No one could confide in her. No matter what happened, she had to figure it out by herself.
Now that she was dispirited, she didn't think that there would still be someone who would be able to have a heart-to-heart talk with her regardless of their status. The Empress's emotions were almost indescribable.
"Wangfei is a sentimental person. Ben gong will carefully consider your words."
Qin Yining saw that the Empress was not a stubborn and self-opinionated person. Her temperament was exceptionally gentle, and she was also well-educated and reasonable. Thus, he liked the Empress even more.
Although their standpoints were different, at least for now, they could still get along peacefully.
The two chatted along the way and walked slowly. When they returned to Kun Ning Palace, Sun mama was already waiting in the main hall with Imperial Concubine Yun, who had changed into a cloak.
Imperial Concubine Yun had changed into a Yang Fei colored brocade cloak. Her entire person was as delicate as a spring peach. She was already impatient from waiting. Who would have thought that when the Empress sent someone to Ci 'an Palace to find her, she would have waited for so long in vain.
Seeing the Empress return with Qin Yining, Imperial Concubine Yun unwillingly curtsied and lazily said: "Greetings to the Empress."
Qin Yining also bowed to Imperial Concubine Yun with proper etiquette: "Greetings to Imperial Concubine Yun."
Both sides had done their etiquette, so there was nothing inappropriate. The Empress slowly walked into the hall and turned around to order Sun mama: "Go invite Gong mama over. Since you're going to learn the rules today, this consort can also follow along and learn. "
"Yes."
Sun mama went to the door and ordered a palace maid to invite her over.
The Empress ordered for them to be seated. Qin Yining and Imperial Concubine Yun sat according to their status. When Gong mama arrived, the three of them began to learn from Gong mama.
Nanny Gong was over 60 years old. When she was in the Beiji Kingdom, she was the nanny who taught the rules of the concubines in the palace. She had served several concubines, and the one with the highest rank was the Imperial Noble Consort, so she knew the rules and etiquette of some ceremonies very well.
Qin Yining had an excellent memory, so she was able to quickly learn what Gong mama taught her. Because she had learned from Zhan mama in Dayan, although the customs of the two countries were different, many of the rules were similar. Therefore, it was not difficult for Qin Yining to learn. She knew how to walk, sit, and lie down. She knew how to eat and drink daily. She even knew the rules when speaking.
Gong mama was very detailed. The Empress and Imperial Concubine Yun both listened. She could not urge the two masters of the palace too much. Sometimes, she would check on Qin Yining's results. What surprised and impressed Gong mama was that as long as she repeated the rules to Qin Yining once, she would not make any mistakes.
In comparison, Imperial Concubine Yun's qualifications were much worse. Her salutes were not standard and she refused to change. She was so proud that she could not accept any criticism.
After a few days, Qin Yining had learned most of the rules. However, Imperial Concubine Yun did not make much progress.
Perhaps it was not that she could not learn, but that she did not like the Empress and felt that she would lose face if she behaved properly in front of the Empress.
"Prince Zhongshun's Imperial Concubine is truly intelligent. You have no problem with the etiquette of receiving the bride. However, the existence of etiquette and rules is to make people's eyes light up when they see you. When they interact with you, they feel like they are bathing in the spring breeze."
"Thus, the Imperial Concubine still needs to use the rules that you have learned. In your daily life, in your every action and speech, you need to be subtly influenced. This way, the rules and etiquette will become something that belongs to you and will inadvertently reveal your brilliance and bearing."
"The things that this servant has taught are all based on ancient etiquette. Once you grasp them, not only will your bearing change, this is also a type of inheritance. In the future, it can influence the next generation."
"Yes, I've remembered everything that Granny Gong said. I will learn and correct them in my daily life. However, if I am distracted, I will not be able to take care of them. "
Gong mama saw that Qin Yining was so honest and couldn't help but smile as she said: "This is human nature. It is not that easy to change a habit. Learning the rules is actually forming a new habit. "
Gong mama and Qin Yining chatted happily while Imperial Concubine Yun pursed her lips and practiced several salutes.
She now understood that the Empress had brought her into Kunning Palace to learn the rules. It was clear that she wanted to torment her!
These days, she was so tired that her waist and back hurt. Even when she served His Majesty, she was so tired that she couldn't help but yawn. She had almost made Your Majesty think that she was impatient to serve him.
Imperial Concubine Yun gritted her teeth and glared at the Empress who was listening intently to Qin Yining and Gong mama.
Right at this time, Sun mama came in with a smile and bowed, saying: "Reporting to Your Highness, the eldest prince has woken up and is asking for his mother."
Hearing this, the Empress's face lit up. Even her haggard face lit up a bit.
