Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 160: Walking to Amaze Everyone

Chuxiu Palace.

After breakfast the next day, Huang Ye, wearing the uniform blue dress for all the concubines, called Wang Yuan and went to the palace in Chuxiu Palace where they had entered yesterday. From today on, these concubines would begin their palace etiquette training there.

Huang Ye felt that this was also a kind of benefit that the royal family gave to their subjects. Girls who had been trained here would be very popular in marriage even if they failed to be selected and returned home in the future. After all, the standard court etiquette was not something that could be learned casually.

Aunt Xing had already arrived. Huang Ye came over with a smile and saluted: "Good morning, Aunt."

Nanny Xing nodded. This child was a carefree person, unlike Xu Rou, who came early in the morning as if she owed someone money and hadn't paid it back. She had a sullen face and although she was polite, she looked condescending, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that all the concubines had arrived, Nanny Xing began to think about today's event. Today's training on walking etiquette mainly involved holding a book on the head. While walking, one had to be graceful but not let the book fall.

The concubines all breathed a sigh of relief. They had practiced this basic etiquette at home since they were young, so they should be able to pass it.

Matron Xing asked a etiquette matron to demonstrate first. The matron, who was in her fifties, put a thin book on her head and walked around the palace in a full circle. Not to mention the book on her head, even the hem of her skirt did not move at all. Even Huang Ye could not help but admire her. It was estimated that the matron had spent most of her life doing this.

"This is Nanny Zhang who teaches you etiquette. From now on, she will teach you all the etiquette courses." After saying that, Nanny Xing left.

Aunt Zhang looked kind. She softly told everyone the key points of walking. Then she gave everyone a book and asked them to practice on their own for half an hour. After the time was up, she would come over to check everyone's level.

After saying this, Nanny Zhang left, and the other concubines also began to practice. Nanny Zhang's walking steps just now made them feel a sense of crisis. Compared with her, what they had learned before was only the entry level.

Huang Ye had long noticed that the chairs randomly placed next to the training hall were probably for the young ladies who were tired from training to sit on. She didn't hesitate and sat on the chair with the book in her hand, wanting to see what was written in the book in her hand.

"It turns out to be blank." Huang Ye closed the book out of boredom and began to watch these beauties walking. She had to admit that these dozens of beautiful girls gathered together were really pleasing to the eyes. The levels of these beauties varied, and she thought it was normal. Everyone had a different family background and of course received different education.

Huang Ye paid special attention to observing Xu Rou. She was worthy of being the one he wanted to send to the palace. Her steps were very standard, which showed that she had put in a lot of effort. There was another one, Wei Ruyan from Duke Wei's Mansion. She had the highest status among these concubines, so it was normal for her to be well practiced. Then there was Shi Yaoyao. Huang Ye did not expect that she had also practiced so well.

Just as Huang Ye was observing Xu Rou, Xu Rou also noticed Huang Ye sitting leisurely on the chair: This bitch, is she confident? No, how much can a bitch who grew up in a nunnery learn? She has been practicing since she was a child, and she never stopped even during the years she was locked up, which is why she has achieved what she has now. This bitch must have never learned anything and is afraid of losing face, so she dares not leave. She will definitely make her look bad later, Xu Rou thought proudly.

Wang Yuan looked much worse. She tried hard to keep her skirt from swaying, but unfortunately the books on her head were disobedient and kept falling down. Huang Ye shook his head. It seemed that family background was really important. Those ladies who came from aristocratic families basically walked in a very standard way.

Half an hour later, Nanny Xing walked in on time and said, "You should be familiar with the place now. Who will come first? The rest of you can sit on the chairs nearby and take a rest."

Although she said so, no concubine dared to sit down. Even Huang Ye, who stood up obediently when she saw her coming, lined up obediently behind the crowd.

"Let me go first." Xu Rou's arrogant voice sounded.

Nanny Zhang nodded and signaled everyone to make way. Xu Rou, with a book on her head, walked around under everyone's gaze.

"Very good." Aunt Zhang praised: "Next."

The concubines consciously walked around one by one according to the order in which they were standing. Madam Zhang praised those who walked well, and did not say anything to those who walked poorly. There was still a lot of time, so they just needed to practice more.

The last one was Huang Ye's turn. Everyone had seen that she had not practiced a single step, and they all wanted to see what level she was at.

Huang Ye slowly put the book in her hand on top of her head, and walked forward gracefully along the route that everyone had just taken. She didn't walk slowly, but the book on her head and her skirt didn't move at all. It wasn't until she finished a circle and stopped that everyone came to their senses. It was so perfect.

"Very good." Nanny Zhang was also very excited. She had taught several generations of concubines in her life, and this concubine was the best.

"Huang Ziye, can you teach everyone your walking technique, so that everyone can improve faster." Xu Rou was extremely jealous, but she did not forget to put on a veil over Huang Ye. She did not believe that this bitch was so generous that she would be willing to teach the secret to others.

Huang Ye doesn't have any skills. She can do this just because of the instinct of a warrior. She is a master of internal strength (she sealed it herself), but she can't even do this. She might as well just kill herself with a piece of tofu. Oh, I forgot, there was no tofu in the Great Xia Dynasty.
