Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 211: Shy (1)
A pair of newlyweds stepped into the main hall under the attention of everyone.
Li Hao, dressed in a bright yellow prince's uniform, is handsome and tall and full of energy. The bride Meng Yunluo beside her had a faint glitter on her face, her eyes wandered, her shyness revealed the charm of a first-time woman.
Concubine Su looked at her son and daughter-in-law, and the joy in her heart almost overflowed from her chest.
It's finally over.
Li Hao and Meng Yunluo came forward together, kowtow to the Queen Mother Zhao, and asked An to serve tea.
Empress Dowager Zhao held a sigh of relief, intending to block Lu Mingyu. She was very kind to Meng Yunluo, her new granddaughter-in-law. She didn't set any rules at all. She took the tea with a smile, took a sip, and praised Meng Yunluo for her beauty and filial piety.
The welcome gift was also much richer than the reward to Lu Mingyu that day.
As expected, the Queen Mother Zhao, who is famous for her eccentric eyes, does not use any of the methods she uses to respond to others.
Although the method is simple, it is also effective.
Concubine Su was beaming, while Concubine Meng Gui and Queen Qiao were each unhappy.
Concubine Meng is better. It was only a few years ago that the first prince entered the house. Lu Mingyu has only been in the door for more than a month, and the hardships and harshness he received on the day of serving tea are vivid in his mind. In stark contrast to today.
Queen Qiao held back her anger and glanced at Emperor Yongjia.
Emperor Yongjia, like all men in the world, pretended to be deaf and dumb when his mother was mean to his daughter-in-law, and was unaware of Queen Qiao's anger.
Meng Yunluo knelt down and offered tea. Emperor Yongjia smiled and took the tea cup, took a sip, and rewarded the greeting.
Next, it's time for the bride to offer tea to Queen Qiao.
"My daughter-in-law kowtows to her mother and offers tea."
The daughter-in-law of a concubine, when she meets her first-mother, is also called a first-mother queen. Before getting married, Meng Yunluo was repeatedly taught by Mrs. Guangping Hou to point out the rules of the palace. Today, there is no mistake in serving tea.
Queen Qiao was unhappy, but she didn't have the habit of angering others. At most, her tone was cold: "No courtesy, get up!" She took the tea without making much trouble.
Meng Yunluo breathed a sigh of relief. When she got up, her legs were a little sore and weak. A hand stretched out beside her and supported her arm, the new husband-in-law's low and concerned voice sounded in his ear: "Be careful, stand firm."
Meng Yunluo's mind flashed an inopportune image of last night's eager confusion and shyness, her cheeks blushing.
For newlyweds, it is inevitable to be intimate in front of others.
Everyone laughed, whether it was good intentions or not.
Meng Yunluo blushed and greeted her aunt, Concubine Meng Gui.
Concubine Meng hated Concubine Su's mother and son, but she was very close to her niece. She laughed and joked: "Seeing your little husband and wife are so affectionate and affectionate, I am also very happy. I will come to the palace to greet you later. Don't forget to visit Yanxi Palace."
Meng Yunluo's heart filled with warmth, and she responded with a smile.
…
When Concubine Su saw it, she felt unhappy in her heart.
In her previous life, Meng Yunluo and Meng Guifei walked closely, but she was cold and estranged with Queen Qiao. She tried her best to marry Meng Yunluo for her son, but she didn't want to be picked by Concubine Meng Guifei in vain.
When Meng Yunluo bowed to Concubine Su, Concubine Su was extremely affectionate, holding Meng Yunluo's hand and smiling: "You and Ah Hao are like a pair made in heaven. In the future, your husband and wife will One heart, to live a good life is to be filial to me."
Meng Yunluo smiled slightly and glanced at Queen Qiao subconsciously.
Concubine Su said that, in fact, she has already accumulated more. It doesn't matter what you say in private. When you say filial piety in front of the Empress Zhonggong, doesn't that mean you don't take the Empress seriously?
Sure enough, Queen Qiao's expression darkened, and there was a hint of coolness in her eyes.
Li Hao continued with a smile: "What the concubine said is true. In the future, Yunluo and I will definitely be filial to the grandmother, father and mother, and mother and concubine."
Yes, this is the correct order.
At this time, Concubine Su also realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly smiled and wrote: "Yes, yes, look at me, when I'm happy, I get carried away, and I don't speak well."
Queen Qiao smiled faintly: "The third prince is overjoyed to be married, and Concubine Su is happy. It's only right. However, no matter how happy you are, you can't get carried away. Occasionally speaking, this palace will not mind. It’s hard to think about it without thinking about it.”
As an empress, she has the right to accuse and have the right to teach concubines and concubines in charge of the six palaces.
Even Emperor Yongjia would not refute Queen Qiao's face, but opened his mouth to defend Concubine Su.
Concubine Su stood up to accompany the ceremony with an embarrassed look on her face: "The concubine made a slip of the tongue for a while, and has no intention of offending the empress. The empress is magnanimous, please forgive the concubine this time."
Queen Qiao twitched the corners of her mouth, but did not make a sound.
Concubine Su had no choice but to continue to maintain the posture of apology. It's just a normal day. Today is the day when my daughter-in-law comes in to serve tea. What face does she have in front of her daughter-in-law as a mother-in-law?
Li Hao pursed the corners of his mouth.
Meng Yunluo felt only ashamed and humiliated in her heart, she quickly lowered her head, her face was hot, and even the back of her ears was hot.
Queen Qiao did not make things difficult for her. But it embarrassed her more than being mean to her.
Concubine Su... Aside from that face that can see people, there is really no way to speak and act. What kind of identity do you have in your heart? Don't jump out when she's serving tea. Now it's better, Su Fei is so shameless, and her newly entered daughter-in-law is also shameless!
After a while, Queen Qiao said, "Okay, let's be flat! Today is the day for the Meng family to serve tea. Let the Meng family recognize the uncle, brother, sister and aunt. You sit down!"
Su Fei dryly thanked the Queen for her grace~IndoMTL.com~ got up and sat back. There was already a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and he looked quite embarrassed.
…
Lu Mingyu watched this scene with great interest.
In her previous life, she came into the door to offer tea, and Concubine Su also came and was reprimanded by Queen Qiao. Her daughter-in-law immediately stepped forward to support Concubine Su.
Meng Yunluo is not that powerful, nor does she mean to support Concubine Su. Concubine Su would have to feel aggrieved and aggrieved.
Li Hao is not in a good mood either. He didn't want to show his face, pretended nothing had happened, and led his new wife and his peers to greet him one by one.
Soon he came to Lu Mingyu.
Li Hao's black eyes swept across Lu Mingyu's face, and then smiled at Meng Yunluo: "Yunluo, this is the second sister-in-law."
Meng Yunluo's face was still red, but it was hard to say whether it was because she was shy or embarrassed: "Second sister-in-law."
It's much more casual to see courtesy among peers.
Lu Mingyu smiled and called "Third Brothers and Sisters", and it was all done.
After the tea is served, it is customary to go to the Taimiao to pay tribute to the ancestors. The noon palace banquet is also set in the Jiaofang Hall. After the palace banquet was over, Lu Mingyu and Li Jing left the palace and returned to their residence.
Li Hao led the bride to the Yihua Palace of his own mother, Concubine Su.
For the first time in her life, Meng Yunluo saw Concubine Su's "pear flower crying softly with rain" style.
