Let’s talk about the pebbles rolling towards the pear blossoms.
Lihua's eyes narrowed, and then her smile deepened without any fear.
I saw her waving her hands forward, raising them high in front of her, performing a series of movements, and then bowing down to the harem. The whole movement was done in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water.
And that swipe forward happened to knock the stone back the way it came.
Hearing a cry of pain, everyone looked around according to their conditioned reflex, and saw Zhou Yuzhen bending over and hugging her stomach. She had obviously been hit by a stone in the stomach, and it seemed that she was still in severe pain.
But at this moment, no one had time to care about her. They all looked back at Lihua. Why did they bow down when they clearly didn't reach the finish line?
What is this action? There is no superfluous and cumbersome action, and the complexity reveals an orthodox and solemn beauty.
Shocking and full of puzzlement.
Aunt Li knew at a glance that it was a set of rituals, but she couldn't identify what kind of ritual it was.
Nanny Qin felt a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
Aunt Tian was the nun in charge of ceremonies, and she was the first to recognize what Lihua was doing.
She exclaimed in a low voice, and the other two nuns suddenly realized after hearing this.
It turns out that what Lihua was doing was a set of orthodox ancient rituals of the palace. It was the most solemn and most respected greeting ceremony in the palace. It required three bows and bowed at intervals of the same distance.
It looks good, but the movements are extremely complicated and difficult. It has stumped countless court ladies.
Therefore, it was abolished by Queen Shōtoku Renshi hundreds of years ago, and almost no one has used it since then.
Empress Shotoku is the most famous empress in this dynasty. She has outstanding achievements and wrote the book "Agricultural Planting Law". She has a profound influence on future generations and is deeply loved by the people. There are even temples dedicated to Empress Shotoku to pray for good weather.<
/p>
In addition, many of the reforms and rules in the current harem have been adopted from the period of Empress Shotoku.
For example, when the palace maid reaches the age of twenty-five, she can be released from the palace, and she will be given a dowry of silver, etc. Such benevolent rules were all set by Queen Seungdeok, so she was also loved by the palace people.
Every year before and after the Flower Festival, the Queen Mother will lead the palace concubines to collectively copy Buddhist scriptures and offer them to Queen Shengde, praying for peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
However, there are some changes this year. The Queen Mother is planning to wait until the general election is over before bringing the new concubine to worship with her, which can be regarded as a favor and care for the new concubine.
The abolished ancient rituals now only exist in ancient ceremony records and other records, so it is normal that no one in the venue recognized them.
Lihua bowed towards the harem, bowed once, then walked a certain distance, bowed twice, stood up again, walked another distance, bowed three times, exactly at the position where Li Ruoyi was bowing, exactly.
The orthodox beauty of court etiquette is vividly displayed, dignified, elegant and elegant, so touching.
Everyone on the brocade stage received a shocking baptism. They forgot the time and where they were, and only saw the people worshiping together.
From now on, under the reputation of etiquette, there will be no one except Lihua!
People who have experienced this scene will laugh endlessly when they hear someone call it a show of etiquette.
At this moment, until Lihua was sitting upright in front of the chair, everyone in the venue had not yet woken up and was still immersed in these few prayers.
The three nuns forgot to speak, and the showgirl standing by the hourglass forgot to tell the time. The showgirls all stared blankly.
The whole place was silent, everyone looked at the pear blossoms quietly, speechless for a long time.
Of course, there was one exception, and that was Zhou Yuzhen. She was still bent over in pain, unable to recover, and did not see the last scene.
Lihua's temperament never leaves any grudges to herself.
Unless forced by circumstances, she will repay kindness, repay hatred twice as much, and repay kindness with kindness.
As for how many times to increase, it depends on Lihua’s mood.
Lihua had noticed Zhou Yuzhen's actions a long time ago. In this life-and-death situation, she would not allow any mistakes.
It happened that Zhou Yuzhen was within the scope of her special attention.
It just so happens that Lihua's physics is amazingly good. From the angle and force of Zhou Yuzhen's lifting of her foot, she has quickly calculated the trajectory of the stone, as well as the force and angle required to return the same way.
And it just so happened that in those three years, Lihua had learned a little bit of martial arts, and none of these weak and showy girls could be her match.
Zhou Yuzhen is simply asking for trouble if she wants to cause trouble.
In this duel, there was no surprise that Ewha won.
When Grandma Li came out to make the announcement, no one in the audience raised any objections, and the show girls were in rare silence.
According to the professional opinions of the nuns, Li Ruoyi's etiquette is beautiful, but compared with Lihua, she is like a flamboyant prostitute in a brothel, full of claptrap and flattery, and there is no comparison at all.
The wild road, which is made to look like an isolated village, is vulnerable to orthodoxy.
Although the show girls are not as professional as Grandma and cannot explain this huge difference in detail, they can't help it if they want to violate their conscience.
What's more, Lihua took less than half the time. How can this compare? There is no point in attacking with her mouth.
When the results were announced, Lihua was a little excited, but the excitement was not about defeating Li Ruoyi, repaying Zhou Yuzhen, dragging all the beautiful women into the water and being punished, and winning a big victory.
She often wins, and this competition is not enough to make her excited.
She was excited that her life was finally saved, but she found that the system was as excited as she was. Its usually cold voice sounded like a broken battery, with a vibrato: 'Congratulations on passing the first level.'
Lihua keenly sensed a difference and struck while the iron was hot: ‘Is there any reward for completing the level?’
The system was silent for a long time before saying: 'The fatality rate of the next level will be reduced by fifty percent.'
Lihua:……
Other people's systems have prompts and rewards, and are cheating tools for the heroine. She can't do anything with this system, it will only kill her!
She has been in trouble all her life, haha!
As soon as the competition was over, there was nothing wrong with Lihua. Nanny Qin looked at her and she didn't seem to be very happy, but instead looked sad, and she secretly admired her in her heart.
Don’t be arrogant in victory and don’t be discouraged in defeat. This is the representative of being unfazed by favor and disgrace.
Afterwards, I was worried that the other show girls would be punished, but their character seemed to be good.
Grandma Li had a bit of mixed feelings about the dark horse Lihua. She originally thought she was a weakling who needed her to uphold justice and protect the good, but she didn't expect that she was a tough gangster who single-handedly made the beautiful girls suffer collective punishment. In the end, she just waved her hand and let her go.
Let’s take Lihua in first.
As for the rest, just wait in line to be punished.
Before Lihua left, she made a special trip to see her "good cousin" for fun, so as to make up for the damage done to her by the dog system.
She had a guilty face on her face and said with guilt, "Cousin, are you okay? I just did it unintentionally."
In full view of the public, Zhou Yuzhen gritted her silver teeth into pieces, but she could only choose to forgive, saying "understanding" that it would not be a problem and that her cousin should not take it to heart.
My heart is so clogged that I feel like it’s going to be choked.
That's not all. The arrogant Su Xiu girl passed by and saw the two sisters' deep love for each other. She also saw Zhou Yuzhen holding her stomach and looked down upon her very much:
"It's just a pebble, how much pain can it have? Wait for those twenty blows, don't scream like a pig, and lose the dignity of our noble lady, hum!"
After saying that, he glared at Lihua again, said goodbye, and went to line up to be beaten.
Lihua smiled and said nothing, and waved a pebble away with her sleeve, which didn't seem to be very powerful.
But, the force she used was really quite strong. She couldn't hit the person badly, but it just made the person's skin hurt for a long time.
Zhou Yuzhen was filled with shame and anger for a moment. When she saw that no one around her was paying attention to them, she finally couldn't help but asked angrily in her voice: "Did you do it on purpose just now?"
Although she didn't know how Wu Li did it, and she felt in her heart that it was a coincidence, and it was impossible for someone to do it with a wave of their sleeves, but she didn't care, it was just intentional!
Lihua showed an evil smile, leaned over and said sullenly: "Cousin, this is the first warning!"
Next time the kick will not be in the stomach, but in the face. If she accidentally kicks her face, she will not be blamed.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Yuzhen was shocked and took a step back. Then she began to feel guilty and did not dare to go into details. She just said: "I don't know what you said."
He endured the pain and hurried away as if running away.
