Chapter 491: The relationship between monarch and minister
Seeing that Xie Songhua didn't speak, Mrs. Qi's smile faded little by little. She sat up straight and took a sip of the tea at hand.
Then he said slowly and calmly: "I've also heard a little bit about you. Although your behavior is indeed a bit embarrassing, considering that you were raised in the countryside, it's understandable that you don't understand many rules.
But now that you have become Princess Chen, you can no longer act so willfully. Among other things, you must always take into account the dignity of the prince. They say that high places are too cold. For a person of the prince's status, a little bit of stain will
No one knows how many people will criticize it.
If someone says that the prince is used to the princess being unfilial to her parents and elders, what do you think the prince will think of you? Don’t you understand this truth? "
Xie Songhua smiled lightly, "I have heard my grandmother say a long time ago that Mrs. Qi is the most disciplined person. Come to think of it, the rules of the Qi family are much stricter than those of our Xie family."
When she heard her calling herself this way, Mrs. Qi was not very happy. Thinking of the letter her daughter wrote to her, she became even more unhappy, so she snorted coldly, "In a family like ours, the rules of the girl's family are taught since she was a child.
Of course, we pay more attention to it."
"Oh?" Xie Songhua immediately took the words, and then Aunt Lan helped him sit down on the chair. He sat up straight and said lightly, "Then why don't you see these people saluting me?"
As soon as these words came out, the small hall fell silent.
Today, Mrs. Qi did not go up the mountain alone. There were two middle-aged women and two girls beside her. At a glance, she knew they were the two ladies and girls from the Qi family.
If you pay attention to kinship, there is no need to worry about this rule.
But if you talk about rules, you have to pay attention to these rules carefully.
She is Princess Chen, and she is a royal concubine who has become a royal concubine. She has a high-ranking royal title.
Right now, among the people here, no one can compare with her in terms of rank.
True to the rules, even Mrs. Qi had to salute her.
When Mrs. Qi heard this, she immediately became angry, "Xie Songhua, what are you talking about? You actually asked your elders to salute you?"
Mrs. Qi was not very angry, "I've long heard that you, a girl from the countryside, don't understand the rules..."
"Mrs. Qi's words are wrong," Xie Songhua interrupted her coldly, "Loyalty, filial piety, brotherhood, tolerance, kindness and the five principles of human ethics. Could it be that the Qi family, which values rules and etiquette so much, can't tell the order of precedence?
?”
When she said this, she didn't even look at them. Instead, she straightened her back and drank tea calmly. Every move she made strictly followed the rules and etiquette of the palace.
It was obvious that she was not dressed in beautiful clothes today, let alone Princess Pinyi's uniform, but the way she looked at this moment made people feel that she had a kind of aloofness.
This magnanimity was hidden in her every gesture, in her raised eyes.
Mrs. Qi was speechless for a moment.
She didn't expect that Xie Songhua would dare to shame her and put the princess's record in front of her.
But now after Xie Songhua laid out the score, it was difficult for her to deal with it.
Because according to the rules, the female relatives of the Qi family should salute Princess Chen. This can indeed be regarded as the righteousness of a monarch and his ministers.
The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment, and several female members of the Qi family were also a little embarrassed. They looked at each other and didn't know whether they should stand up and salute.
Mrs. Xie's eyes were filled with a smile.
She was not very satisfied with this in-laws. They used to have some trouble getting along with each other. Later, Qi's family went to work abroad, and the two families only exchanged letters, and things became relatively better again.
Who would have known that when the Qi family came back, Mrs. Qi would soon enter the cabinet because her eldest son would soon enter the cabinet, so she placed the Qi family's family tree in front of her again.
Even after arriving in the capital, I didn't visit Xie's family. The first time the two families met, it was actually at Xiangshan Temple.
Moreover, the statement she made a moment ago was all about saying that she favored the eldest and third eldest family members, and that she was now the second eldest son in the family supporting the family business. He actually meant to say that she was old and confused.
It doesn't feel very satisfying to call Mrs. Xie.
Although the old lady has been a little dissatisfied with Xie Songhua recently. First, Xie Songhua played a trick on Xie Langhua's marriage.
Later, I heard Xie Yun say that she refused to help her uncle, which made me feel more and more that this girl did not grow up in my own family. After all, she was separated by a layer and was not easy to control.
But this doesn't mean that she is happy to see her granddaughter being disciplined as a grandson by someone else. What's more, she is currently the most promising girl in their family.
Seeing that the scene was really ugly, the old lady tried to smooth things over, "You kid, you are too honest. Your grandmother just mentioned it. I'm afraid you have stayed in the palace too long, so you will take it seriously."
Although it was a little late to speak, it finally solved the current embarrassment. Mrs. Qi had to respond awkwardly, "It's just that this is not the first time I see you, and I was worried that you would lose etiquette outside, so I just
Can you give me a few more words? The princess is too sensitive."
Hearing what she said, Xie Songhua also smiled. This smile was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, making people feel like a warm breeze was blowing on their face. "That's it, look at me! This is really a misunderstanding."
When I came here just now, I only saw my grandmother talking to an old lady. I thought that although it was according to the rules, I should wait for the other party to say hello before entering, so as not to let someone be accused of disrespecting the royal family.
But when I saw my grandmother being so warm, I thought that there were no outsiders anyway, so I just closed the door and told people not to spread the news outside.
Then I realized that it was actually my grandmother who was talking to my grandmother. I never expected that when my grandmother saw me, she would talk about the rules and I would treat me as a princess without any airs. This made my grandmother feel that I was embarrassed by the prince.
Just remind me to wait for everyone to bow before we join in the fun together!"
Mrs. Qi's face was filled with sarcasm after saying this. She felt so happy, but she was afraid that she would go too far and make her relatives look bad in the future, so she pretended to complain: "You are the same! From now on.
But don't do this anymore. You have never met your grandmother and don't know her temper. You will get used to it in the future."
Xie Songhua agreed with a smile, then turned to talk to Xie Tu.
Xie Tu only blinked at her secretly, not daring to say what happened just now.
She is a girl from Shou'an Hall. She just saw that her grandmother was killed by Mrs. Qi. How could she feel happy?
Even though it was open to talk, Mrs. Qi still had a bit of a sarcastic expression on her face, and the atmosphere in the room became a little cold.
Mrs. Yu then opened her mouth and said with a smile: "Everyone is here, you girls don't just sit there like us, go out and play! Haven't you been thinking about coming to see the plum blossoms for a long time?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Xie said to Xie Songhua: "Three girls have been in the capital for so long, but they haven't been here yet, right?"
Xie Songhua nodded with a smile, and then he heard Mrs. Xie smile and say: "You can also play with them. You don't have to accompany us like this in your own family, so you don't have to be a bit old-fashioned."
Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "Then I also want to ask for a reward, and my daughter-in-law also wants to go out for a walk."
By saying this, I was actually asking for orders to look after these young sisters in case something happened to them.
Only when the sisters arrived at the open space behind Xiangshan Temple did they realize the beauty of the Xiangxuehai.
There are white plums all over the mountains and plains. At this time, it is so white that it is impossible to tell whether it is plums or snow unless you look carefully. There is only the fragrance that hits your nostrils.
But she always felt like there was a line of sight stuck on her.
