Chapter 61: Learning Court Etiquette from the Empress Dowager
Although the origin of this girl Ruoxue is unknown, she believes in her own judgment. She will definitely be her son's confidant and a spiritual haven for tired people to rest in the future.
But this girl seems to have no skills at all, which is not good
"Son, the Queen Mother looks very pleased with this girl, so she will stay in the Queen Mother's Palace to learn etiquette for now, and you can come and receive her after a while!"
Ruoxue said happily:
"Thank you Queen Mother!"
Murong Jinghong saw Ruoxue's eager look and was a little unhappy that she wanted to get rid of him so much. However, it was only because of this girl that the queen mother actually wanted to teach her in person.
"Queen mother, thank you for your hard work. I hope you won't work too hard."
Murong Jinghong said to Ruoxue:
"Girl, study hard and I will come over to check you out when I have time!"
Ruoxue studied the court etiquette of Xue Hongguo in the Queen Mother's Chongyue Tower, and then she realized that this ancient etiquette is really complicated, and it can be divided into two categories: political etiquette and daily etiquette.
This political etiquette includes: sacrifices to heaven, sacrifices to earth, sacrifices in ancestral temples, sacrifices to ancestors and saints, meeting ceremony and military ceremony. Ordinary people do not need to learn political etiquette, but as people in the palace, they must be familiar with it.
Life etiquette also includes: birth ceremony, coming-of-age ceremony, feasting etiquette, guest etiquette, five sacrifices, common people and people in the palace must learn this etiquette.
Fortunately, Ruoxue is the person who squeezed across the single-plank bridge. The modern college entrance examination system, not to mention other things, is definitely the most effective method in history in training people to memorize. Although the knowledge about etiquette is very trivial, those who have been specially trained for the college entrance examination
Ruoxue, memorizing it all is just a piece of cake.
It is not so easy to learn these etiquette and apply them flexibly in life. Take the steps of women walking in the palace as an example, which made Ruoxue suffer a lot.
Etiquette says that women must wear formal clothes when leaving the inner chamber, and when wearing palace shoes, they must walk slowly, straight, and elegantly.
This woman from the Xuehong Kingdom also bound her feet like the women in ancient China. She also used three-inch golden lotus as a beautiful palm-sized pink foot. She wore 5-centimeter-high palace shoes. These palace shoes were harder to wear and smaller than today's high-heeled shoes.
My feet are also bound. I don’t know what kind of material they are made of. They slip when I walk faster.
When wearing these shoes, you must take small steps, small steps, in a straight line. If you walk too fast, you will kiss the ground. If you walk crookedly, you will sprain your feet.
Which modern woman can stand the gentle steps of a lady like a turtle crawling, Ruoxue naturally couldn't stand it, but thinking of the Queen Mother lying on the bed, she was embarrassed to let her down, even though she fell many times, she still stood up and walked step by step on the corridor.
