Xue Rou'er was startled, why was there another imperial edict? Did the emperor think that he had seduced his son and came to teach her a lesson?

The old lady said: "Go and see what the imperial edict says."

Xue Rouer nodded, walked out of the door and went straight to the front hall.

When the eunuch saw Xue Rou'er, he said, "Xue Rou'er accepted the order."

"The daughter of the people accepted the order." Xue Rou'er knelt on the ground, respectfully.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict. The legitimate daughter of the Xue Mansion is dignified and virtuous. She is deeply loved by the imperial concubine. She is given a second-class nun to teach her etiquette. In ten days, she will enter the palace to participate in the Qiqiao Festival family banquet. I hereby express my gratitude!" The father-in-law's voice was shrill and scary.

, but not as scary as the content of the imperial edict.

Xue Rou'er had to express her gratitude loudly. She didn't bring any money as a reward, but Bi Xiang, who was accompanying her, cleverly gave her father-in-law a gold pin.

"For bothering me, father-in-law, to make this trip, I will reward you." Bixiang said with a smile.

The father-in-law nodded and said, "Thank you, madam. Grandma will be here shortly. We will go back to work now and say goodbye."

Xue Rou'er took the imperial edict and went straight to the old lady's room. When she entered the door, she said, "Grandma, the imperial concubine invites Rou'er to the palace for the family banquet."

The old lady nodded and said: "I guessed it, this Qiao Qiao Festival has come at the right time." She was filled with joy because another daughter of the Xue family was about to marry into the palace.

Xue Rou'er frowned and said, "Grandma, Rou'er doesn't know anything. I'm afraid she will make a fool of herself."

The old lady said: "It's all Jiu Feng who has buried you all these years. You can't learn any decent skills in ten days. Why not learn the rules seriously? Don't ask for merit, but ask for no mistakes."

Xue Rou'er nodded, but she didn't think so. On that day, many official ladies would enter the palace. These women would definitely not be able to tolerate a commoner woman like her, so she would definitely become a target.

The old lady took her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, there is a noble concubine to support you."

Xue Rou'er forced a smile and said: "Rou'er understands, grandma, don't worry."

The old lady said: "Go, don't let that nanny wait. The second-class nuns in the palace are not simple people. You have to learn from her."

Xue Rou'er nodded and stood up to say goodbye.

Yunu said: "Miss, does this count as a blind date?"

Xue Rou'er scolded: "Damn girl, you really can't pick up the pot. I have to find a way not to offend anyone and get away with my whole body."

Yunu said: "Isn't it good to marry the prince?"

Xue Rou'er sighed: "Think about it, which prince doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Are you willing to share men equally with those women? I would rather marry an ordinary family and live as a couple for the rest of my life."

Yunu said: "But we can't choose who to marry. Besides, it's common for men to have three wives and four concubines. We're used to it."

Xue Rou'er was speechless, her own thought, Jade Slave, would not understand.

They waited at the door for a long time before they saw a mahogany carriage approaching. When it stopped at the door, a woman wearing a blue palace dress and a red jade hairpin came out. She was not old, about forty.

, sharp eyes, slightly raised thin lips. A half-smiling look that gives people a cold feeling. Sure enough, the women in the palace are all top-notch.

"Xue Rou'er, I've met grandma." Xue Rou'er bowed and stretched out his hand to help her down.

The grandma looked at Xue Rou'er and smiled faintly: "She is indeed a beauty, but it's a pity that she is too thin. Let's go in." Her attitude was not arrogant. She was probably so gentle because of the noble concubine's sake.

Xue Rou'er helped her grandma enter the house and took her to Jinxiu Pavilion. There were two rooms on the second floor. The eldest lady used one and the other was unused but it was cleaned every day, so there was no need to tidy it up.

What.

When grandma saw the room prepared for her, she was very satisfied and said, "It's not bad. I'm used to seeing a house full of gold and silver, so it's simple and elegant like this."

Xue Rou'er was a little embarrassed and said: "Originally, my mother lived in the Peony Pavilion, which was bigger than here and had a garden full of peonies. Later, when the beauty came home, she let the beauty live there. As a result, the beauty missed the emperor and didn't stay overnight.

Went back to the palace."

Grandma sat down and asked, "Since the beauty is no longer needed, why don't you move her here?"

Xue Rou'er smiled and said: "My mother is easy-going and not picky about where she lives, so she never mentioned it."

Grandma nodded, and a gust of wind blew outside, bringing the fragrance into the room. However, Grandma frowned and asked, "How long have the flowers and plants in the courtyard been planted?"

Xue Rou'er thought for a moment and said: "My grandmother used to live here, but she moved out after Ci'an Pavilion was built. I don't know who moved in after that."

Grandma came to the window. Outside was a fruit garden, and the two grape racks inside were bearing fruit. She sneered and said, "Is it possible that someone has died here?"

Xue Rou'er was shocked and said: "This Rou'er really doesn't know."

Mammy pointed to the two grapes and said: "The soil here is not suitable for the growth of these grapes, but their fruits are very large. If they were not nourished by the carrion, they might not even be able to bear fruit."

Where has Xue Rou'er ever studied plants? She had only faced jade before. Now that her mother-in-law said there were corpses under the grapes, she felt a little panicked.

But Mammy said calmly: "It's not unusual for a wealthy family to have a few people die and hide a few corpses. Even the well in the palace is not clean, do you understand?"

Xue Rou'er was stunned, what did she mean by this? She said this when she first came, was she a threat to herself or a warning? After thinking about it, she immediately understood the meaning of her grandma's words. It was not a threat, but a warning. Rich families are not clean, then

It was even darker inside the palace. So through this incident, she understood that if she wanted to survive in the palace, she had to take care of every step, otherwise she might be thrown into the well.

"Rou'er understands, thank you for your teachings." Xue Rou'er didn't dare to be careless at the moment. She knew that this grandma was a powerful person, but her teachings were not directly stated, but metaphorically expressed through things. She had to be more vigilant, so as not to miss the opportunity to learn.

.

Mammy smiled slightly and said: "The qualifications are good. It seems that the queen has chosen the right person this time. Why didn't you enter the palace as soon as possible?" She was very curious as to why the imperial concubine chose the third lady instead of the shrewd eldest lady in front of her.

Xue Rou'er said with some embarrassment: "Because I have always been in poor health, that's why the imperial concubine did not choose me."

Auntie smiled and said, "Really? I'm afraid someone won't want to see you, okay?"

Xue Rou'er looked at her smile but felt no warmth, and even felt a bit of chill in her bones. If a nun in the palace is so powerful, aren't those empresses the masters of eating people without spitting out their bones?

"Xue Qing'er has seen grandma!" Xue Qing'er heard that the nanny came to the palace, and immediately packed up and came to flatter her.

Mammy glanced at her and said, "Are you the concubine of the Xue family?"

When Xue Qing'er heard the word "concubine", viciousness flashed in her eyes, but she smiled on her face and said, "Let grandma laugh."

Naturally, the mama did not miss the sinister look in her eyes. She thought for a moment and said: "From tomorrow on, you two will come to learn etiquette!"
