Slowly Deep Love

Fairy tales are all lies, and TV dramas are edited fragments.

It turns out that the etiquette of the ancients was so complicated!

There are many kinds of greetings when meeting someone, and the ceremony of worship is even more grand.

Now Yue Weiwei was kneeling on the cushion, holding two books in her hands, her arms shaking violently.

There was nothing she could do except close her eyes and sigh. If she didn't learn these, she would never be able to lift the ban in her lifetime!

The sandalwood on the table was emitting green smoke and small sparks of burning were flickering. Yue Weiwei stared at the sparks and cursed: Too slow!

It’s better to listen to a story and make time pass faster.

Yue Weiwei suddenly remembered the Imperial Concubine Rong that the Grand Commandant had just mentioned, and asked curiously, "Madame Li, are the Grand Commandant and Imperial Concubine Rong familiar with each other? Are they relatives?"

"They are siblings from the same mother. Imperial Concubine Rong likes you very much. When you got married, she came specially to give you generous gifts and blessings. Imperial Concubine Rong was not feeling well during those few days, but she still came."

"What's up with her?"

"Noble Concubine Rong sat in the main hall for a while. After you and Master-in-law finished worshipping heaven and earth, she felt unwell again, so she went to the backyard to rest for a long time."

"What's wrong with her?"

"I was tired, but today I heard from Imperial Doctor Liu that Concubine Rong is in great shape."

"Who is the Queen?"

"The Queen is the cousin of the Minister of the Central Secretariat. The Minister of the Central Secretariat holds a high position of power and authority, and the Queen is also domineering, but she is still kind and friendly to Concubine Rong."

"Is there only one concubine?"

"Miss, your guess is correct. The current emperor has assigned this concubine to his side."

"What is the emperor's name?"

"Miss, how can you speak so bluntly? Hey! Li Yanhe." Nanny Li said in a low voice.

"The Taiwei's surname is also Li. Are they related?"

"The Grand Commandant and the Li royal family are from the same town."

"Oh!" Yue Weiwei nodded slightly, as if thinking about something.

The incense stick finally burned out.

Yue Weiwei's fingers felt like they were broken, and two books fell to the ground with a crash. Her knees were stiff and sore, so she sat sideways.

Hurry up and find a way to return to the modern era. Learning etiquette is no different from standing at attention!

Nanny Li came over to support Yue Weiwei and said distressedly, "I know that you are very hard-working, but these etiquettes are very important. You will have many opportunities to meet the emperor's concubines in the future. You must not lose your manners and give people something to talk about."

"I know that Nanny Li is doing this for my own good. I will learn." Although Yue Weiwei resisted in her heart, the ancients were very polite and would not abandon their etiquette because of her.

"Sit down quickly, I will massage your legs and shoulders." Nanny Li squatted down and massaged her legs. Yue Weiwei's tears were welling up in her eyes. She raised her head and quickly wiped them with her sleeve.

Not long after, Changle and Qian Yue came, bringing with them crispy and fragrant peach blossom cakes.

Nanny Li was very happy and quickly invited Yue Weiwei to eat peach blossom pastry and talked about date cake.

"If you ask Miss's favorite cake, it's still the date cake made by Madam Ming!" Nanny Li watched Yue Weiwei eating the sweet cake bite by bite and couldn't help but think of it.

"Yes, yes! Madam Ming's skill in making date cakes can't even catch up with Chengji Pastry Shop in Xishi." Qian Yue said excitedly.

Yue Weiwei listened to them talking excitedly and really wanted to taste the cakes made by Madam Ming.

"Now Madam Ming..." Yue Weiwei opened her mouth but was interrupted by Nanny Li.

"Miss, how can you call me that? She's the one who gave birth to you and raised you!"

Yue Weiwei nodded and quickly changed her words: "My mother is in Jiangnan, so she can't make date cakes for me. Can Qian Yue make them?"

"I can cook anything that Miss likes to eat, but making date cake is too difficult and I'm afraid it won't suit your taste." Qian Yue was a little troubled.

"It's okay. Mom is not around now, so you have to go into battle." Yue Weiwei patted Qian Yue on the shoulder to encourage her.

Qian Yue blinked and nodded, saying, "I'll make date cakes for you tomorrow."

"You guys eat too! Don't just watch me eat, take a piece each." Yue Weiwei enthusiastically gave everyone a piece, and Nanny Li wanted to stop her.

Yue Weiwei spoke first: "Madame Li, those etiquettes are for outsiders to see. When there are people around, I will definitely abide by the rules. Now please take it and eat it! If you don't eat it, how can these two little girls dare to eat it!"

Nanny Li hesitated for a moment, then took the peach blossom cake from Yue Weiwei's hand and said gratefully, "It is such a blessing for this old servant to meet you, young lady!"

"It's the same for us. Qian Yue and I grew up with the young lady, went to school with her, and learned a lot." Changle took a bite of the peach blossom pastry and kept praising it, "Delicious! Delicious!"

Qian Yue was a little proud, and Li Ma quickly reminded her: "Qian Yue's cooking skills are really good, but you can't be too proud!"

Qian Yue put away her smug look and nodded guiltily.

"The young lady was practicing etiquette just now and must be very tired. You can massage her shoulders and legs." After giving the instructions, Nanny Li left with the food box.

Changle and Qian Yue were very diligent, one kneaded her shoulders and the other rubbed her legs, their techniques were good, and after a while, Yue Weiwei felt no pain in her legs, feet and arms.

She said to Qian Yue, "Go make the date cake now! I miss my mother and want to eat date cake."

Qian Yue let go of her hand and asked, "Is your shoulder feeling better, Miss?"

Yue nodded slightly.

Changle comforted him, "Once Lord Ming finishes his official duties, Madam Ming will immediately rush back to the capital to see the young lady."

Yue Weiwei nodded again.

"Changle, go help Qianyue too. Make more so the four of us can eat together."

Changle and Qianyue smiled and nodded: "Miss Du Yi."

After the two men left, Yue Weiwei stood up and looked at the pavilion and corridor outside the door. The image of the big pear tree in the backyard suddenly popped into her mind.

She went to the backyard alone.

Without saying a word, Yue Weiwei rolled up her sleeves, dragged and moved the ladder from the corner of the wall, and placed it on the pear tree.

She wiped the sweat off her face, grabbed the ladder with both hands with excitement, and laughed softly: "It's very sturdy!"

Yue Weiwei climbed to the top of the ladder, grabbed a thicker branch, and with a little strength in her legs, she stood on the wide stump in the middle of the pear tree.

The Taiwei Mansion is really magnificent! There are several courtyards of different sizes, and busy maids can be seen everywhere.

Yue Weiwei looked in that direction, trying to find the "fox spirit's" courtyard, but there were several courtyards over there, and she looked around but couldn't tell them apart.

This pear tree grew close to the wall, with half of its branches sticking out of the wall. Yue Weiwei climbed towards the wall along the thick branches.

She climbed up the wall and looked out curiously.

There is a lotus pond here, not too big. Yue Weiwei felt strange: Isn't everything in Taiwei Mansion big and grand?

The grass leaves in the lotus pond have begun to sprout, revealing a bit of green, which is a unique experience.

There is a narrow path next to the pool and next to the wall.

There are no maids or servants coming in and out here, so I guess it's a deserted place!

Suddenly, Yue Weiwei saw a man walking along the path. He seemed to fall from the sky, very suddenly. It must be the blind spot that deceived Yue Weiwei's eyes.

She quickly crawled backwards, making quite a noise.

The man looked up and saw Yue Weiwei, his face was filled with shock!

Yue Weiwei was even more frightened!

"Senior, you have traveled through time too!"

The man was stunned for a moment, then bowed respectfully: "Miss, I didn't mean to offend you, please forgive me!"

Yue Weiwei was even more confused. Wasn't he the sophomore who picked her up when she was a freshman?

He was so sunny and always had a bright smile on his face, and his smile could not be erased from Yue Weiwei's mind.

This is the senior she has had a crush on for a whole semester!

The man saw Yue Weiwei's eyes were bright and seemed to be lost in thought. He asked in a low voice: "Why is the girl here...climbing the wall?"

Yue Weiwei heard the voice and came to her senses, but she didn't hear clearly what he was saying.

"Senior, why are you here?"

The man thought about the meaning of "senior", which should be a respectful title for students, and replied with a smile: "I am Luo Zhuangzhou, listening to Mr. Gongsun's lecture in Xueshan Hall. The teacher delayed the time today."

It turned out to be a student of Xueshantang! Yesterday, Changle said that Xueshantang would not start classes until tomorrow, and she was wrong.

And there was that "son-in-law" who didn't study hard and brought his concubine to Qingxiang Pavilion to stir up trouble!

This unlearned and unlearned scoundrel!

Yue Weiwei thought angrily for a long time, then when she saw the senior, she smiled and asked, "Do you know Wang Que?"

"I don't know him. Who is Wang Que to the girl?"

Yue Weiwei didn't know how to answer for a moment. Wang Que was a modern man and Luo Zhuangzhou was an ancient man, but the two people looked exactly the same.

"Isn't this really a time travel?" Yue Weiwei said to herself.

"What is time travel?" Luo Zhuangzhou was very curious. This woman looked like a lady from a wealthy family, but she could climb trees and walls, and her words were very special.

"Ah? Traveling through time... is..." Yue Weiwei was incoherent and mumbling, not knowing how to explain.

She looked at the senior's face again. It was definitely the same person. Could it be that there are many kinds of time travel? Was the senior the kind who forgot the present after time travel?
