The end is approaching

Chapter 10 The Days of Giving Up Efforts:

"Teach me alone?" Qi Yifei asked, wanting to confirm again.

"Others probably won't be able to invite me." Wen Zui put up a memorial like a hill and refused to criticize it. He himself felt magical when he came here to teach Qi Yifei etiquette.

Originally, Wen Zui planned to arrange a wife for Qi Yifei, not because he was worried about Qi Yifei's etiquette crimes, but because he wanted to find something for him to do to distract him.But when the candidate list of Master was reported from below, Wen Zui hesitated with a Chinese ink pen, unable to circle a suitable name for a long time.Either I think this one is too young and impetuous, or I think that one is too much for fame. Of course, it is not good to be too strict.

"I know you are thin-skinned. When I was a child, I would go back and cry a little bit about the key points of my master's words." Hearing this was a personal experience, watching Qi Xiaofei come out of the palace with red eyes, biting his lip, he was almost wronged to death, He also insisted that he did not cry.

Like a little princess.

Adorable, tender, little princess who grew up in a greenhouse.

"Just that one time!" Qi Yifei exploded immediately after hearing this, "I didn't cry because my master told me, it was because of something else! Who did you listen to?"

"Fu Li." The regent shamelessly forcibly threw the blame away.

"I knew it was him! His mouth is broken!" Qi Yifei said angrily, "Don't believe him, just run around with your mouth... I don't like to cry!" He is a ruthless and domineering county king!

"Well, I don't believe it." Wen Zui swears on the surface, but what he thinks in his heart is that there is nothing wrong with crying too much.But it was him who made Qi Yifei cry.

This kind of possessive desire to let someone only be stained with his own color is something Wen Zuo has never experienced.He is indifferent to everyone, and he will not despair if he does not give hope. Numbness is his armor.But...it's not bad to know that I'm still going to have strong feelings.

After Qi Yifei calmed down, he went through a serious brainstorm.

His previous logic couldn't be justified, so his reasoning could directly declare a collapse.It is not the cause of "the Seventh Prince came to learn etiquette" first, and the result of "Fu Li recommended him to study with him".Even with the reason of "maybe Fu Li heard that the Seventh Prince is coming to teach etiquette", there is no way to save his respect.

It's obvious that the Seventh Prince came here for him.

Qi Yifei didn't give up, and asked again: "Did you take the initiative to teach me?"

Wen Gui nodded.

But that's even more wrong.Not to mention that he and the Seventh Prince just met, why did the Seventh Prince do it for him; just talk about the Seventh Prince, an unfavored prince from the cold palace, how did he accomplish all this?

unless……

Qi Yifei struggled to pull out a thread of a new thought: "Oh, so it seems that the regent really likes you."

After hearing Zui's brief astonishment, he burst out laughing and went back and forth a few times before saying clearly and slowly, "Probably there will be no one in this world who treats me better than the Prince Regent."

If he treats himself badly, then he is too miserable.

Qi Yifei thought about it along the new line of thinking, and finally achieved self-persuasion again.

That's right, the Prince Regent could not only keep everyone secret about the past because he didn't like the Seventh Prince; it could also be because he was very kind to the Seventh Prince and felt sorry for his past experience, so he issued a gag order.

After thinking it through, Qi Yifei finally felt alive again, relieved the water in his mind, as if even his body felt a little lighter.Although he still felt that something was vaguely wrong, he decided not to embarrass himself anymore.

It was also after this that Qi Yifei discovered how close the distance between him and the Seventh Prince had been.

The Seventh Prince was almost in front of his eyes, and he could clearly see the jade face without any blemishes through his breathing. The narrow and long single eyelids could give people an unfriendly look of prey, and it could also bring indescribable evils.Combined with the clarity of the eyes and the coldness of the temperament, it creates a very contrasting abstinence temptation.

In terms of what Qi Yifei still remembers about modern times, it is the aphrodisiac of walking!

Qi Yifei's face turned red once again, and he always felt that at a certain moment, his mouth suddenly became dry, and no matter how much tea he drank, he couldn't get it back.

However, this human-shaped aphrodisiac opened its mouth and said: "I believe that the regent will also like you very much."

All of a sudden, the atmosphere was gone, the wind blew, and the clouds dispersed.

Sitting there, Qi Yifei let out a long sigh, and gave the Seventh Prince a "you are so sweet (innocent)" little look, it's so nice to be a prince, and you can still dream.

Wen Zui almost couldn't hold it back, he could only put his hand to his lips, coughed pretendingly and said: "Then let's start the class, His Royal Highness?"

"You should call me by my name. Yifei, Afei, you can do whatever you want." Qi Yifei always felt that His Royal Highness, coming from the mouth of the Seventh Prince, was so dishonest.

"Okay, Jiro."

"..." This, this is too close, only grandfather and elder sister would call him that, not even Fu Li.But "it's up to you" was said by Qi Yifei himself, and he couldn't go back on his word, so he could only bite the bullet and agree.

"You can call me Mr.." After Wen Zui finished speaking, he stopped and told Qi Yifei clearly with his eyes that he was expecting him to speak.

"First, sir." Qi Yifei felt that he had probably exhausted all the humiliation in his life on this day, and he finally forgot his resistance to learning etiquette at the beginning, "Please, please, sir, please be merciful."

"I won't make it difficult." The Seventh Prince seemed to be in a better mood than when he came here. Although he still didn't smile, he couldn't hide the ease between his brows and eyes. "A simple question first, see the regent Wang Shi, how does Erlang plan to worship?"

Qi Yifei thought for a while, and then said: "Accordingly, it should be five prostrations and three prostrations to show solemnity when meeting the Lord. But your Majesty has a stroke, and it is not suitable to go out. When you see His Royal Highness the Regent, you should perform four prostrations."

Five bows, four bows, the difference in specifications can be seen from the number of words.

Generally speaking, even between the emperor and his ministers, only the grand court meeting during the New Year's festival will solemnly perform the five worships.The regular pilgrimages and audiences on weekdays are the four prayers.When the courtiers met the prince of the East Palace and princes from various places, they also bowed four times.If the prince is the elder of the emperor, then after the prince pays homage to the emperor, the emperor will pay four obeisances.

Daqi is a dynasty with as many rules as a cow's hair. From the top to the court, the performance is correct, and the bottom is to dress and ride the sedan chair, all of which reflect the difference between high and low.Compared with concubines, rich and poor, gender, class conflicts are the biggest problems in all dynasties.

Although the regent is now overseeing the country, but the Emperor Tianhe is not dead, the four worships are just right.

Five worships would seem too servile, and would also fall into the unjust reputation of the regent wishing for the early death of the old emperor.

Qi Yifei doesn't have great wisdom, but he still has a little bit of cleverness. At least in this kind of correct answer, he finally made the Seventh Prince smile, as if the whole person was relieved.

"I finally met a normal person." Wen Zui said with emotion.

"What?" Qi Yifei looked over curiously, unable to hide his gossiping heart. Since he dared to feel so emotional after hearing about the crime, it means that there should be no major problem in saying it. "Could it be that many courtiers chose to pay five respects?"

Wen Zui nodded without saying a word.One of the results of everyone being afraid of him is that everyone is doing everything they can to please him, feeling that he is already impatient for that position and wishing he could take his place.But his eating is really not that ugly, okay?As long as his father is alive, he will only be the regent.

It's not like father-son love, it's not even plastic, it's just... just wanting to make a name for yourself.

Moreover, he hasn't enjoyed enough, the torture of his father.

"Please Erlang do the four-prayer ceremony first. You have been in and out of the court for so many years, there should be no major problems, but some details need to be checked and filled." Wen Zui is not the kind of person who speaks politely, but when facing Qi Yifei, he Willing to put on a disguise, pretending to be as good-tempered as dough, "Recently, many things have changed."

Qi Yifei nodded. Although he didn't know who the regent was, he had heard a lot about the deeds of the regent, especially the rumors about how the regent abandoned the heaven and customs and reshaped the voice of Taizu.

Emperor Tianhe likes extravagance, he likes to be casual, loves him to live, hates him to die, he is really not a good emperor.

The regent is very strict, and he is serious about things, and no one can mess with the rules.

Qi Yifei stood up gracefully, took a few steps back, and in a spacious enough space, respectfully made four prostrations to the Seventh Prince.

The so-called four worships are described in detail in "Boy Rites", which is not only used by ministers to the emperor, but also by sons to their fathers.

——Leave a bow and don't retreat.Once again, bow down, and press the ground with both hands.Kneel on your left foot first.Bend the right foot for the second time.Pause your head to the ground and get up.Start with your right foot.Press your hands together on your knees.Start with your left foot.Still bow and worship. (Original text of "Tongzi Li" in Ming Dynasty)

Do not act too hastily in your actions and demeanor, but do it slowly to show respect.

Qi Yifei's actions, it's not good to boast how kind-hearted and pleasing to the eye, but at least they are smooth and smooth, with proper urgency, and he hasn't completely lost his character in the respect.

It was exactly the same as what I saw when I was hiding behind a pillar when I was young.

The palace people were envious and said that the Duke of Qi's family is the young man in Zhu Lu, the demeanor of a son, and he has already advanced and retreated so well at a young age. One can imagine that he will be full of spring clothes and osmanthus water, and he will be humble and courteous. .

Suddenly, Qi Xiaofei's young voice sounded loudly when he was in the study: "There are clouds in the Book of Songs, there are Fusu in the mountains, and lotus flowers in Xi. If you don't see Zidu, you will see madness."

The Master asked, "Why?"

The young man surnamed Qi had sly eyes and said with a joking smile: "As for Zidu, is there anyone in the world who doesn't know how beautiful it is?" Who in the world doesn't know the beauty of Zidu?

Wen Zui wanted to say, who in the world does not know Erlang.

The author has something to say: The vernacular translation of the last few paragraphs:

Qi Xiaofei read a poem describing Zidu from the Book of Songs.

The Master asked: What does this poem mean?

Qi Xiaofei said blindly: This poem means that no one in the world knows the beauty of Zidu.

Wen Zui thinks that Qi Yifei is the most beautiful.

* Zidu: An ancient beauty!He is as famous as Pan An, Wei Jie and others.
