The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

Singing a big show to build public opinion has achieved initial success.

As the leader, Mu Tingxue also expressed her intention. On the evening of the third day, she invited the sisters who performed the heroine opera with all their heart and the young and old men who performed the monkey opera to have a meal at a famous restaurant on Tianxuan Street. .

Dishes were passed around during the dinner.

"Your Highness, the eldest princess, Lan Niang needs your support to have the opportunity to sing "Mulan Joins the Army". This is the first time Lan Niang knows that a woman can be so courageous, and she yearns for it. I have few talents, and I can learn from a A little actor with little reputation has become a famous actor in Yundu, all relying on His Highness' script."

This beautiful woman was the lead singer of Mulan Stage on Tianshu Street. She stepped forward. She was so excited that her voice even trembled. Your Majesty, but I still hope that I can be a slave and a maidservant, and serve my humble purpose."

There are more than a dozen other Hua Dan.Daoma Dan and Qing Yi also knelt down and surrendered, expressing their willingness to be the maidservants of the eldest princess's palace.

The public is eager to express their opinions.

Mu Tingxue refused on the spot: "Why should you belittle yourself and become other people's slaves? From what I see, my princess, you sisters are not low-class people, but folk opera artists."

She insists on letting women sing the songs of these heroines, not to make them grateful to be her slaves!

"Your Highness the Princess, Lan Niang is willing..."

"This is not a matter of your own inclination." Mu Tingxue interrupted her and said seriously, "I understand your sincerity, but Lan Niang, have you ever thought about what happens if you become the princess's wife?" If you are a slave, you will fall into slavery. In the future, your children and your descendants will all be slaves. No matter what they do in this world, they will be inferior to others and be sold as animals. They cannot read or write, even if they join the army and fight. Cutting off the enemy's head, no matter how meritorious or rewarding he is, he has no place as a slave!"

Lan Niang was shocked on the spot, her face turned pale, and she broke into a cold sweat.

Yes.

She joins the princess's palace and repays her kindness with sincerity. She may be able to have enough food and clothing, but what about her children and grandchildren?Do you want to be a slave forever?

Mu Tingxue lowered her eyes and her voice softened: "You all, please get up. I feel sorry for all of you who have been in the pear garden since childhood and are all suffering from misfortune. I want to help you, not push you into another abyss. "

Even Yuanyang and Qingniao, who had been following her for a long time, she took the initiative to help them escape from slavery.In name, Yuanyang and Qingniao are subordinates of the eldest princess's palace, and they serve as housekeepers of "Si Gui" and "Sicheng". Although they are only of the eighth rank, they are also formal female officials.

A few more loyal slaves and maids would not give her any sense of accomplishment.

"There is still half a month of drama left to perform, and I need to rely on you."

Mu Tingxue raised her hand and said, "Prepare a few formalities and give them to you."

Every singing sister present received a set of exquisitely made silk clothes, ten taels of silver, and a bottle of whitening and moisturizing cream.

It is necessary to win people's hearts.

Lan Niang and the others were all happy when they received the reward.

"What is this?" Qing Yi with a charming voice unscrewed the wooden box of the cosmeceutical whitening and moisturizing cream and looked at the white and tender soft paste inside. "It smells really good, a bit like fragrant snow on the face."

All the women tried it one after another. They gently applied a small piece on the back of their hands and cheeks.

"It's so moisturizing! This is much better than Xiangxue."

"No, after Xiangxue applied it on my face, my face was shiny all day long, as if it had been brushed with a layer of lard."

"What Her Royal Highness the Princess has rewarded must be good things that the nobles in the palace use to apply facial masks. This is a compliment to the sisters."

The attraction of cosmetics is fatal to these young women.

While everyone was eating, they were chatting enthusiastically about rouge, gouache, and balm.

*. *. *

Finished eating.

Mu Tingxue took a sedan chair back home.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw the blue bird coming up to her and helping her put on a shawl with nine flying phoenixes: "Your Highness, it's cold in the spring at night, so be careful to keep cool."

Mu Tingxue entered the study, and Qingniao brought out a plate of rock sugar cakes and a plate of honey mangosteen snacks.

"Did anything happen in the house today?"

She picked up a piece of rock sugar cake, and it still tasted familiar and good.

"More than a dozen wives came to visit me, but since you are not here, my master, I entertained them with chocolates and coconut candies."

"More than a dozen?" Mu Tingxue thought she heard wrongly.

Did you, the family members of the imperial officials and princes and nobles, form a group to visit her house?

The young man nodded: "Today there are still a few, but yesterday and before there were more than 20."

Mu Tingxue said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'm quite busy right now and can't take care of my family."

Busy with medical exams, busy with Li Jia.

"It's not hard work for subordinates. The real hard worker is Jing Changshi. He receives male guests. There is really an endless stream of big and small court officials who come to visit the eldest princess's mansion every day. There are at least a hundred people, and many of them want to leave. Your Highness, please pay bribes to get in."

A flash of disdain flashed in Qingniao's eyes, "Just dismissing this group of flatterers, I don't know how much words will be wasted."

Mu Tingxue's heart was clear. If she was just a vase princess with only a false royal reputation and no real power, these people would definitely not come to her door.

"I'll double your salary. If I see you like this again, I'll just close the door and thank you."

"Thank you lord!"

Qingniao said happily, "By the way, there is one more thing. The Nangong family's daughter-in-law, who will be promoted to the imperial concubine next month, has been visiting the house for three consecutive days. Your Highness, do you want to see her?"

Mu Tingxue was surprised: "Nangong Qianqian? What is she here for?"

It's definitely not a good idea.

Qingniao didn't know that her master had a bad relationship with Miss Nangong. She only thought that Miss Nangong was her master's future sister-in-law, and she wanted to have a good relationship with her sister-in-law, so she came frequently.

"I don't know, but Miss Nangong is very kind and brings souvenirs every time she comes. When I came to visit today, I happened to meet Young Master Wuya in the flower hall who was practicing calligraphy on his invitations. She even gave him personal instructions. calligraphy."

Mu Tingxue said lightly "Oh" and said, "Call Wuya."

When he deliberately approached her son, he had to find out what happened.

After a while.

Xie Wuya was yawning and his eyes were blurry. He had just finished his homework, washed up and was about to go to sleep, when he was dug out of the bed by a blue bird.

"Mother--"

"Nangong Qianqian came to my house today to teach you calligraphy?" Mu Tingxue went straight to the point.

"Yeah." Ya Bao nodded obediently, "But my son thinks her hairpin small regular script is too soft. It doesn't have the thin gold calligraphy that my mother gave her son with iron hooks and silver hooks. It's grand and free and easy. Every word has magic power. .”

Mu Tingxue pondered over his words, and soon discovered the key: "Copybook!"

In order to meet the needs of the Ministry of Household Affairs, she practiced calligraphy hard.

The copybook was purchased from Hyundai Baobao.

200 yuan, plus gifts, there are a total of seventy or eighty copies, including "Complete Copybook of Shanglin Fu", "Poetry Slim Gold Style", "Sixteen Books of Buddhist Scriptures", "Famous Masters' Prose Practice Copybook", "30-Day Basic Cursive Course", "Tao Te Ching" Copybook for Adults"...

As we all know, calligraphy practice begins with tracing.She couldn't finish the copybooks bought by Xue Bao. Her son was studying in the Imperial College and Mentoring Department of the Imperial College and needed to practice calligraphy, so she gave Zebao and Ya Bao ten copies each.

"Yabao, tell mother, what kind of calligraphy did you practice this afternoon?"

"Expedited post on how to write Tang poetry in slim gold style in 30 days." Ya Bao was a little confused, "Mom, can I really write good calligraphy in 30 days?"

"That's the marketing rhetoric of unscrupulous merchants. Don't take it seriously. There is no shortcut to practicing calligraphy."

"My son has learned a lesson." Xie Wuya nodded solemnly, "By the way, Aunt Nangong seems to want the copybook very much and wants to exchange it with me for a luminous pearl as big as a chicken egg."

After talking about this, Mu Tingxue still didn't understand anything: "Have you changed with her?"

"No, what mother gave me is the best!"
