My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.
Chapter 73: Beautiful and Elegant
Zi Jin returned to the desk, thought for a while, and said to Qiu Shuang who was standing by and waiting, "Go find someone who can imitate handwriting, and ask him to imitate this handwriting and write this letter."
Qiu Shuang took the letter with both hands and said, "Yes, Miss." Then she bowed and left.
If Huaying was the person he suspected, he would give her the fake letter at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
In the courtyard of Molan Pavilion, Huaying was practicing her sitting posture. Nanny Wang praised her for learning quickly.
Nanny Wang said, "Miss, next, let's learn the etiquette of greeting."
Nanny Wang demonstrated it herself, "Keep your legs spaced appropriately apart, cross your hands and place them on your left knee, keep your right hand upright, and lean forward slightly."
Huaying imitated her and did it again. Nanny Wang nodded and said, "Not bad, but it's not natural enough. Although the etiquette of greeting may seem simple, it has many details and needs more practice."
By the evening, the day's classes were finally over. Huaying felt that her manners had become much more dignified and her back and waist were much more sore. She endured the discomfort and said goodbye to the nanny, signaling with her eyes that Qinghe should take care of the nanny.
Qing He nodded, gave the nanny a small box on the way to send her away, and said, "Thank you for your hard work today, nanny. This is a little gift from our young lady."
The nanny refused several times, but only accepted it when Qinghe insisted on giving it to her. Only after she met the nanny in the lady's courtyard did Qinghe return to Molan Pavilion.
When they got upstairs, Qingzhu told her that the young lady was taking a bath and would not let her go to serve her.
Qing He frowned and said, "The young lady worked so hard today. She sympathizes with us, how can we really not serve her?"
As she spoke, she pushed the door open and went in. Huaying heard Qinghe's voice and said, "You go down and rest. I can do it myself."
Qing He picked up the ladle and added water to the tub little by little. "Miss, I am here to serve you. If Qing He does something wrong, you can beat or scold me, but don't stop me from serving you."
Seeing that Qinghe's eyes were red, Huaying smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll trouble Qinghe from now on." Only then did Qinghe smile again.
Huaying remembered something and asked again, "Have you seen Yuexing and the others in the past few days?"
Qing He replied while washing her hair, "Their courtyard is far from here, so I didn't notice it. Miss, do you have anything to do with him? I'll send him to you."
Huaying thought for a moment and said, "Nothing, don't call him." In fact, she wanted to ask about Yuexing Zuijiangyue's situation.
Wait a few days, and ask him again when you feel settled.
"Miss, the kitten we met yesterday, I couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked." Qinghe carefully wiped Huaying's clean black hair and muttered, not knowing where the kitten had gone.
Huaying was thinking about Zui Jiangyue in Taohua Town at this moment, and wondering what Dongxue was busy with at this hour. She didn't know how the girl was doing in her studies, and whether she would cry if she was not there.
Did Uncle Zhang develop any new dishes? And Fu Shiyan...what was the gift he said he would give himself?
He definitely doesn't know that he is a rich girl. He is about to start school, but I wonder if he has prepared everything.
I don’t know when I can meet them again.
As night fell, Huaying washed up and went to the window to look at the stars in the night sky. Before, she only missed friends in this world, but now there are so many people she misses. Huaying sighed.
The streets of the capital were bustling with traffic. Qiu Shuang walked out of a bookstore and quickened her pace towards the direction of Prince Rui's Palace.
She held the forged letter in her hand! The handwriting on this letter was almost identical to the original letter, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't detect the difference.
After returning to Ningxiu Pavilion and handing the letter to the young lady, Zi Jin carefully put the two letters, the real one and the fake one, together, comparing every detail of them.
Seeing that there were no flaws in the font, strokes or ink color, a smile appeared on her face. She thought that it had been a long time since such an interesting thing happened, and she really hoped that the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet would come soon.
Huaying stood in front of the window and watched for a while. At Qinghe's urging, she turned off the lights and went to bed.
The next morning, at noon, the nanny stepped into the yard again. Seeing Huaying waiting for her, she hurried forward to greet her, and Huaying also returned the greeting.
"Miss, today we will learn the kneeling ceremony, squatting ceremony, hair-raising ceremony, and bowing ceremony."
"Thank you, Madam." Huaying said with a smile.
Under the guidance of Nanny Wang, Huaying reviewed the various etiquettes she learned yesterday. At this time, her mother came over, Qinghe and Qingzhu hurriedly served on the side. Her mother sat down and watched Huaying's movements, and sometimes she would go up to give guidance personally.
As the day went on, Huaying's movements became more and more graceful, and her every gesture revealed the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.
The mother smiled and nodded, urging her to go to bed early at night, as she would have to go to the palace tomorrow.
The next morning, as soon as the hour of Mao arrived, Huaying began to prepare for the day under the careful care of her two maids, Qinghe and Qingzhu.
They first prepared warm water for Huaying and bathed her incense.
The bathroom was filled with a light fragrance, as if it surrounded Huaying in a dreamlike world. Huaying leaned against the bathtub and recalled a short video she had seen before, which showed a pink pig being washed. At this moment, she felt like that pink pig being washed.
After taking a bath, Qinghe changed her into an exquisite dress. The color of this dress was peach pink, which was fresh and elegant, and complemented her temperament.
Then, the maids dressed her up, combed her hair neatly and adorned it with hair accessories.
Huaying's face is already pure and elegant, and after dressing up, she looks even more charming and beautiful.
Time passed minute by minute, and at noon, a gorgeously decorated carriage slowly stopped in front of the Shen Mansion.
At this moment, Huaying in the Molan Pavilion was ready to go, dressed in her best clothes, looking as beautiful as a fairy. She felt a little uneasy, but full of expectations.
Huaying walked lightly with her mother towards the gate. When she appeared in front of everyone, the eldest and second brothers could not help but be amazed. They looked at their little sister's beautiful and dignified appearance, and felt a surge of pride in their hearts.
They were proud to have such a smart and beautiful sister, and a smile unconsciously appeared on their faces.
Huaying bowed to his family members one by one. His father laughed at him and said, "You don't need to be so polite at home. You will be more cautious when you enter the palace."
Huaying nodded and got on the carriage with her mother. Sitting in the carriage, Huaying saw the two big stone lions at the gate of Shen's house through the gap in the curtain.
The carriage slowly drove into the palace and finally stopped in front of a magnificent palace.
After Huaying got off the carriage, she and her mother followed the maid all the way to the outside of the Cining Palace. The maid went in first to pass the message to the maid at the door of the main hall, and the maid went into the main hall to pass the message to the empress dowager. After a while, the maid came again to lead them into the main hall.
The Queen Mother sat on a high seat, her eyes dignified and kind.
Huaying and her mother walked forward and respectfully performed a standard kneeling ceremony.
"I, your humble servant, pay my respects to the Queen Mother and wish her the best of health and happiness."
The Queen Mother smiled at Huaying and said, "No need to be polite. Please take a seat."
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Huaying followed her mother and sat down.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Ning'er, come forward and let me take a good look at you."
