Chapter 183 Wei Si’s salute is even more standard than hers
After Wen Yueyin finished speaking, she straightened her back secretly, smiling and waiting for Xie Jing's praise.
After all, she came from a family of officials. In her previous life, she had been to the capital and stayed in the Eastern Palace for three days. She was knowledgeable and well-informed, and knew all the rules and etiquette. She was incomparable to the women in Shu County.
She taught her mother the rules personally, and Xie Jing would definitely be grateful to her.
Xie Jing looked at her volunteering and stood there in shock.
No, Si Si came from a distinguished family, having grown up in the imperial palace. She was the most pampered princess of the Wei royal family. She had seen all sorts of good things, interacted with all sorts of concubines and noble ladies, and learned all sorts of rules and etiquette. Did she need anyone to teach her?!
Why does Si Si's eldest daughter seem to be a little bit mentally unstable...
Xie Jing wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and was speechless for a moment.
Wen Xingluo looked at Wen Yueyin coldly.
She didn't know what her mother's specific plan was, but she knew very well that her mother intended to use Mu Zhiqiu.
She didn't mind sending a tool to her mother.
So she smiled and said, "Mother is learning how to dress up. Sister, you can go over and see her."
After Wen Yueyin happily left, Xie Jing said, "Come to think of it, the Flower Festival is in a month, and your mother's birthday happens to be on the same day. I plan to hold a lively birthday banquet for her at the palace and invite some ladies to keep her company."
Xie Jing saw all the changes in Wei Si.
He was very happy.
His Si Si should be lively and bright, just like she was back then.
Therefore, he was happy to help Si Si make some friends.
Wen Xingluo thanked Xie Jing and followed Wen Yueyin to the main courtyard.
The main courtyard is bustling with activity.
Xiangjun loved to help people dress up, so she specially ordered people to carry more than a dozen boxes of clothes and jewelry of different styles into the house. When she saw Wei Si's face, she suddenly fell silent.
After a while, she said to Wen Xingluo, "Miss Xingluo, you didn't say your mother looked like this."
With such a beautiful face, why would she need to dress up?
It looks good even if you wear a sack.
"My mother has been cooped up at home for many years and has no idea what the outside world is like. That's why she wants to learn about the current popular hairstyles and outfits." Wen Xingluo explained, "Thank you for troubling Miss Xiangjun."
Xiangjun smiled sweetly, "It is my honor to serve you, my beauty."
She explained to Wei Si the history of changes in clothing and jewelry over the past twenty years, and spoke for about half an hour before taking a short break.
Wen Yueyin saw her chance and immediately stepped forward to bow to Wei Siyingying. "Mother, you only learn how to dress and behave, which is ultimately too petty and unworthy of a refined family. In my opinion, you should learn the rules and etiquette of aristocratic families."
Wei Si sat upright in the armchair, looking at her seriously.
This is also her daughter.
But for some reason, she couldn't feel any sympathy for her eldest daughter.
I felt bored just looking at it, as if I saw Wen Qingsong standing in front of me again.
Thinking of her plan, she suppressed her fear and hatred and smiled, "From what you said, it seems you are willing to teach me personally?"
"Of course." Wen Yueyin nodded modestly. "You and I are mother and daughter. We share the same fate. If you behave properly outside, it will also bring honor to me."
As she spoke, she bowed and said, "Mother, you can follow me now and learn how to greet people. Come, first, kneel like me."
Xiangjun sipped her tea and looked at the two of them.
She couldn't help but ask Wen Xingluo, "Is your sister okay?"
Wen Xingluo was unfathomable, "Many people have asked me this question."
Wen Yueyin was immersed in excitement and didn't hear the conversation between the two at all.
However, as she was teaching, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Wei Si's movements were even more standard than hers!
It would be fine if she was just of standard, but she was also indescribably beautiful. The noble aura that emanated from her bones made Wen Yueyin involuntarily think of the empresses and concubines she had seen when she entered the palace in her previous life.
No, Wei Si's demeanor is more noble and elegant than that of the queen and the imperial concubine!
It seemed as if she was born to be the most graceful and luxurious peony on Fengtai!
Wen Yueyin couldn't help but observe Wei Si's etiquette carefully.
Some of her salutation postures were different from what she taught, and were more complicated and classical, which made Wen Yueyin suspect that she had remembered the rules incorrectly and that Wei Si's etiquette was the correct one.
There is a bronze dressing mirror in the boudoir.
Wen Yueyin clearly saw the gap between her and Wei Si in the mirror.
With similar movements, Wei Si landed on the water like a swan, gracefully folding her wings.
But what she did always had a petty air, like a vulture perched on a rock.
Wen Yueyin felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.
She suddenly stood up and said angrily, "Mother has clearly learned the etiquette and rules, why didn't she tell me and instead watched me make a fool of myself?! Wen Xingluo is your daughter, so am I not?! The father of the Zhenbei Palace is partial to you, and he's partial to you too. If he's partial to me, why did you give birth to me in the first place?!"
She yelled as if to vent her anger and ran out crying.
There was no emotion on Wei Si's face.
She didn't have deep feelings for these children.
Even Ningning gradually developed sympathy and love for him after getting along with him.
Therefore, facing Wen Yueyin's accusations and complaints, she just tilted her head in confusion.
That night.
The clean room was filled with steam.
Wei Si closed her eyes and lay on the edge of the bathtub, letting Xiangjun massage her shoulders and neck.
Xiangjun applied a thick layer of pearl hibiscus cream on the palm of her hand, and the air was gradually filled with a rich fragrance.
She smiled and said, "Your Highness's skin is whiter than snow, more delicate and tender than any other woman I've ever seen. Using this box of cream on you is unnecessary. As for dressing up, after spending time with you today, I see that Your Highness seems to be more proficient in this than I am. So, what exactly is your purpose in keeping me in your residence?"
Fallen petals are floating on the water.
The deep red and light pink petals complement the woman's fair skin, and under the candlelight they look like pearls with a halo, extremely gorgeous and brilliant.
Wei Si slowly opened her eyes, pinched a petal from her shoulder, and said softly, "I heard that Miss Xiangjun is the most popular courtesan in Hua Manlou. She's very good at reading people's expressions and understanding their hearts. I'd like to ask Miss Xiangjun to teach me how to please a man... a man who is powerful, experienced, suspicious, and ruthless."
Xiangjun lowered her brows and closed her eyes.
The Prince of Zhenbei is obsessed with the Princess of Zhenbei, so the Princess doesn't want to please the Prince of Zhenbei.
She knew that gossip was taboo in the inner mansion, so she didn't ask any more questions, only saying softly: "The princess is thirty-six years old this year. I guess the man you are talking about must be close to forty. Such a man has seen all kinds of beauties in his life. If you want to impress him with beauty alone, I'm afraid it will only be temporary. Such a man has no shortage of power, no shortage of money, no shortage of beauties, but only lacks..."
"time."
Wei Si whispered.
He is the Son of Heaven.
The emperor owns everything in the world except time.
Xiangjun applied the pearl hibiscus cream to Wei Si's arm, slowly rubbing it in circles to melt it. "'Flowers may bloom again, but people never become young again.' When one reaches middle age and wields immense power, one will always feel pity for the destitute self of youth. If the princess had any connection with him in her youth, she could use it to her advantage. Let her know that what was unattainable in youth may not be unattainable in a lifetime. Let her know that people can be young again."
The wind blowing through the window brought up the subtle fragrance of the petals.
On an early spring night, the flowers in the courtyard have not yet bloomed.
Xie Jing had just finished performing a set of sword techniques and was now standing quietly in the corridor, looking at the lonely moon in the sky.
Wen Xingluo came out of the main courtyard and asked, "Dad, why are you in a daze here?"
