Chapter 145 Falling Snow (1)
The snow falls like cotton covering the ground, and there is still new winter clothes on earth.
It is shallow and thick but not warm, and the spring mud will turn into next year.
~
There is snow outside and a warm stove in the hall.
The snow is pure white, the stove is a spherical hollow silver wire mesh carved,
Cold is very straightforward and direct, while warmth is relatively more complex and needs to be carefully crafted.
"Your Highness, you should walk slowly!"
In Chunhe Palace, Queen Zhao Ning'er sat behind the curtain, staring at Liu Jin intently, and learned etiquette under the guidance of several major scholars.
To be precise, it is to learn how to receive the etiquette of the vassal states and vassal kings.
The emperor issued an imperial edict, and the Burmese king entered the court a few years ago and was personally received by the prince. This made the innocent civil servants in the court suddenly fall into inexplicable excitement.
In their opinion, this should be the case. The crown prince was the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, so he had to be carefully trained from an early age. Because only by cultivating from an early age can one cultivate the most perfect successor for the Ming Empire.
In the hearts of these civil officials, the most righteous country in all dynasties is our Ming Dynasty.
And the one who valued the eldest son the most and respected the eldest son the most to inherit the etiquette and law was also my Ming Dynasty.
"Your Highness, you should be slower and your pace is smaller!" Yang Hu, the Grand Secretary of Zuo Chunfang, looked at Liujin, whose face was full of impatientness, and said patiently, "You must go steadily!"
Liu Jin was wearing a new apricot yellow ball dragon robe, his eyes turned around, he looked back at the blurry outline of his mother behind the curtain, and then raised his face, "Why have to walk slowly!"
"Because your highness wants to show his dignity!" Zhang Xianzong, the Grand Secretary of the Eastern Palace, said, "You are the prince of the Ming Dynasty. When you meet the foreign vassal kings or envoys, it means my Ming Dynasty! Your every move is full of heaven's power!"
"When walking, you should not look sideways, your shoulders cannot move, and your steps are the same size! When you walk fast, you will be anxious. When you are anxious, you will be messy, and when you are messy, you will be despised. Walk slowly, your appearance is dignified, and you will be calm and relaxed." Another teacher from the East Palace also said, "Did you see that when the emperor goes to court, you just walk like this?"
Liu Jin recalled in his mind that when his father went to court, he really walked like this, holding the jade belt with one hand and the hem of the skirt with the other, and then slowly looking step by step. From a distance, it was like climbing up the mountains at the clouds...
"But the ancestor didn't walk like this before!" Liu Jin retorted, "Have you seen the ancestor walk?"
As he said that, he raised his head and looked like a proud little rooster, and then he put his hands behind his back, making a look of not being happy with anyone on his face.
"Look, I saw that this was how my ancestor walked before!" Liu Jin followed the way the old man walked before, and made a big stride and meteor took a step by step.
"By the way!" As he walked, Liujin suddenly stopped.
Then, in the surprised eyes of the great masters, he took off his shoes and pulled them casually on his heels.
When you walk, you will slap it.
"This is how the ancestors walked in the past!" Liu Jin was walking around the hall, imitating the old man before, frowned in the shape of a Sichuan character, "He never sat on a carriage or a sedan chair for the rest of his life, and he never walked in a squeak like you taught!"
"This..." Several senior officials looked at each other, with wry smiles in their eyes.
Emperor Taizu Gao was the king who founded the country in hundreds of wars. Even if he walked barefoot and bare-armed, he was full of murderous aura and was powerful without anger.
But his old family's tricks are not good for the prince. The younger he is, the more mature he is, the more stable he needs. If the prince learns from Emperor Taizu and Gao's every move, the foreign vassals must have thought that the etiquette and law of the Ming Dynasty were not good, and they became contemptuous.
"Crown Prince!" Behind the curtain, Zhao Ning'er frowned, "Why are you comparing with Emperor Taizu Gao!" As he said, he was a little angry, "He is the founding emperor, what about you? You are just a child with yellow mouth! He is from a rank of a military force, but he also respects etiquette and law."
"But...."
"Don't defend!" Zhao Ning'er interrupted Liu Jin, "Etiquette and law are the rules and regulations, and it is a compulsory course. Don't you know that as the prince, you should set an example? Otherwise, how will you face the subjects of the world in the future...?"
Liu Jin lowered his head, slit his tongue slightly, and whispered, "Yes!"
"Your Highness, the Empress teaches you the lesson!" Yang Song smiled, "The word "ritual" is simple, but it is the primary thing to maintain stability in the world. Only when you abide by etiquette and law will the subjects abide by it. Only when you are stable will the world be stable..."
As he said that, he paused, "Low, let's contact us. It should be as good as the response when we meet the Burmese King!"
Another teacher Gao Xunzhi followed, "The Burmese King came to Beijing to thank the Celestial Empire for his kindness. And the Crown Prince, you are welcomed by the emperor in person, so the Burmese King wants to perform the rituals of my ministers of the Ming Dynasty, bow three times and nine times!"
"Gou must be slightly sideways, and cannot accept it all!" Liu Jin said helplessly, "To show his preferential treatment to the Burmese King, he must also speak to him to calm him." As he said that, he waved his hand slightly, "Just stand and let him flatten him, and then he said that the noble family was exhausted and hard work all the way!"
"Your Highness is smart!" Several teachers nodded with satisfaction, showing a teaching-worthy look.
Liu Jin said again, "Then I asked the Burmese King and I to ride on a carriage and horse together to show my honor!"
Behind the curtain, when Liu Jin was talking very well, Zhao Ning'er smiled a little on her face.
At this moment, a nanny walked to Zhao Ning'er and whispered.
"Well, I understand!" Zhao Ning'er glanced at Liujin who was practicing etiquette again and whispered, "Let him go to the side palace to wait..."
~~
In the side palace of Chunhe Palace, the turtle-ba humiliation stood behind the curtain with his hands hanging down.
When the footsteps sounded, there was a vague figure sitting on the throne behind the curtain, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "I have seen the Empress!"
"Get up!" Zhao Ning'er smiled, "What's the matter with the cold sky? I'll let you go?"
"I dare not be a servant!" The turtle laughed and then bowed, "It was the Goryeo camp that had just paid some excellent Korean ginseng, and the Liaodong Jurchens entered some rare sable fur."
"Her Long Sui told me to send some to you.Her Long Sui also said that if you don't need it, you can give it to the father-in-law. Having an old wound on his leg, you can use these Korean ginseng to maintain your body and keep your sable fur away from the cold!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Ning'er's mouth.
This honor was absolutely not available before.
The emperor's reward was limited to several founding heroes such as Chang Xu and Li Tang. Although the Zhao family was the first relative of the foreign country, they were still not as good as these families in the emperor's mind.
It seems that during the assassination, his father Zhao Sili showed his face, so the emperor favored the Zhao family especially.
This kind of honor makes Zhao Ning'er also honored.
"It's hard for you to have a trip in person!" Zhao Ning'er smiled, "It's hard for you!"
As he said that, he paused and said, "It just happened that I have made new shoes here. You can bring them to the emperor!"
Zhu Yunxiu's temperament follows the old man. He doesn't like wearing court boots, but prefers short cotton shoes. He uses a good Songjiang cotton cloth to make the noodles, which is filled with cotton wool. He is both light and warm, and is not stuffy.
"Xiao Wang..." Zhao Ning'er said softly.
"I am here..." The turtle was standing with his hands down. He was stunned at first when he heard this, and then quickly said.
"Ha!" Zhao Ning'er behind the curtain chuckled, "Isn't you calling me!"
The turtle was wondering why the queen suddenly called him Xiao Wang?
I saw a pretty eunuch holding a box in both hands and coming in from the side hall.
"It's a coincidence that your surname is Wang and he is Wang. Maybe you will be a family five hundred years ago!" Zhao Ning'er smiled and joked again.
"There is a newcomer in the East Palace? Why don't I know?"
The turtle was looking at the new eunuch next to him.
