At dinner time, the foster mother whom Lu Yuan invited came.

Nanny's surname is Zhou. She is in her sixties. She has a long face and looks very serious. Her gray hair is combed meticulously.

It is said that Nanny Zhou had worked in the Palace of the First Empress before, so she knew everything about court etiquette and management of the mansion's accounts.

According to Mu Ying, there is actually an unwritten rule prevailing in the circle of ladies in Shengjing City:

Some wealthy families will invite a nurturing nun before their daughter and Ji, to teach the woman who is about to grow up in all aspects of court etiquette and financial management. A large part of it depends on the status of the nun who is asked to teach.

It is said that Nanny Zhou used to work in the Palace of the First Empress, so she is a hot candidate in Shengjing City.

However, Nanny Zhou may be old, or she is really not short of money, so in recent years, Nanny Zhou has hardly come out to be a nurturing mother.

Mu Ying just passed Ji this spring. I heard from Mu Ying that before she reached Ji, Mrs. Mu actually intended to ask Nanny Zhou to be her nurturing nurse, but Nanny Zhou was not feeling well at the time, so in the end, Mrs. Mu could only change her with regret. A nanny who had just retired from the palace.

Fortunately, that nanny was quite lenient, so Mu Ying was able to get away with it.

In short, Lu Yuan didn't know how much silver taels and relationships he used for a gold-medal-level nurturing nun like Nanny Zhou, and he worked so hard to invite her here, so he naturally attached great importance to her.

Therefore, that night, Lu Yuan was moved with affection for Lin Yixue, and talked rationally for half an hour, to the effect that he must cherish this opportunity and study hard with Nanny Zhou.

In this regard, Lin Yixue naturally continued her usual style of being a good girl, and agreed to everything. Of course, she had no other choice besides this.

Because the banquet in the palace was about to take place, Nanny Zhou officially started teaching Lin Yixue the next day. As Lin Yixue expected, Lu Yishuang also came to listen.

Since the fake corpse incident, Lin Yixue and Lu Yishuang have adopted the "three no's" strategy. When they meet, as long as Lu Yuan is not present, they should: don't talk, don't look, and don't communicate.

Therefore, during Nanny Zhou's teaching, the two never looked at each other, did not say hello when they met, and had no communication throughout the whole process.

For the performance of the two, Nanny Zhou was a little strange at first, but she, who has experienced many battles, soon turned a blind eye to it.

On the first day, I took the etiquette class, mainly talking about standing, sitting, kneeling, bowing, walking and other postures. Madam Zhou had stricter requirements. After the whole day, Lin Yixue was so tired that her back ached, not to mention Lu Yishuang, who was always pampered. up.

Sure enough, the next day Lu Yishuang said that he would not be sick anymore. Originally, because of Aunt Qin's scandal, she had nothing to do with her entering the palace this time, so Lu Yishuang couldn't get angry.

If she didn't come, Lin Yixue would be more comfortable studying alone.

She was a bit of a transparent person, and Lu Yixue should also have a certain foundation, so after getting over the initial discomfort, it only took two or three days for Lin Yixue to quickly learn these rules proficiently.

Nanny Zhou was also surprised by Lin Yixue's comprehension ability. For so many years, Lin Yixue was the student she taught with the least effort, so after getting to know her well, Lin Yixue pestered Nanny Zhou to tell some palace rules and gossip.

Nanny Zhou has a strict temperament, so she seldom mentions the private affairs of the palace, but Lin Yixue still has a general understanding of the situation in the palace through a few words occasionally.

The current emperor, Ouyang Ling, is in his forties, and he governs the country well. During his tenure, the people live and work in peace and contentment. He can be regarded as a wise emperor.

Empress Mu has a simple and honest temperament and treats people kindly. Entered the palace six years ago and gave birth to a daughter Jinghe Princess, full name: Ouyang Zhiwei, who is only five years old.

Another prince Ouyang Zhihao was raised under her knees, known as Prince Hao, fifteen years old, and her biological mother was an ordinary court lady who was favored by the emperor after she was drunk. After giving birth to Ouyang Zhihao, she injured her body and died soon after.

The crown prince Ouyang Zhixuan was born to the former empress Mu's family. He is 22 years old and has a fairly good relationship with the current empress, especially Ouyang Zhiwei and Ouyang Zhihao love him very much.

However, when it comes to the current harem, the noble concubine Pei who has been favored by the emperor for so many years is naturally indispensable.

She is the concubine's daughter of the old Duke Pei, and she has a son - Ouyang Zhiting, who is nineteen years old. This person looks gentle and elegant, and is very popular with the emperor.

The current Duke Pei is the half-brother of Concubine Pei Gui. He is an important official of the imperial court.

In fact, when the Mu family was prosperous, the Pei family was still unknown, but when the Mu family's old general Mu and Mu's master passed away one after another, the Mu family quickly declined, while the Pei family quickly rose.

A daughter is honored by her father. Before the new Empress Mu entered the palace, the harem was always in charge of Concubine Pei.

Although the old Duke Pei passed away later, the momentum of the new Duke Pei has not diminished in the slightest.

The combination of the harem and the imperial court made the Pei family once unparalleled in Shengjing.

But six years ago, the return of the crown prince Ouyang Zhixuan and the rise of Mu Hao finally ended this monopoly situation, and now the court is evenly matched by Qin and Mu.

It seems that no matter which dynasty they are in, the imperial palace is a bloody place, and those who can grow up in that place will either be boiled to fine or ashes.

Lin Yixue felt terrible when she thought about it, and she was glad that she didn't wear it on any princess, otherwise she would have died long ago.

Time flies, and soon came the day of the flower viewing feast, God was more generous and the weather was cooler.

Since it was Lin Yixue's first time attending a banquet in the palace, Mu Ying deliberately made a detour to the Lu residence to pick her up.

"Oh, Xue'er, why are your palms covered with cold sweat? Really, why are you so nervous, you don't have to think about anything, just follow me." Mu Ying saw that Lin Yixue had been sitting upright since getting in the car. There, he patted her on the shoulder and comforted her carefreely.

"However, having said that, since I was a child, what I hate the most are these banquets, all of them are kind-hearted, hypocritical, and boring to watch."

After comforting her, Mu Ying casually lay down on the cushion, muttering boredly.

"Okay, I'll try not to be nervous, but you should pay attention to your image anyway, it won't look good if your clothes are wrinkled later."

Lin Yixue took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down her nervous mood.

But, having said that, it would be a lie if you want to be not nervous at all. After all, I went to the palace this time, which is the place where the power of Beiyan is the most concentrated. You don't need to do anything to kill someone. The head and body were separated.

"It doesn't look good, and if I had to say I should still go to dinner in riding clothes, it would be so cool.
