Chapter 713
: The bride's power
Concubine Ji was indeed a little embarrassed and unconfident. She was obviously a serious mother-in-law, but in terms of etiquette, she did not occupy the right position, so the tea she offered to her son and daughter-in-law was not the first to drink, but to her mother.
Very sad.
Apart from this, she could not even surpass the tribute of tea and marriage to the bride's bride, otherwise it would be a violation of the rules.
However, she was happy to see this happening, and she was just right. Who would like to give a gift to a dissatisfied wife?
"The prince and the others have not returned yet?" Concubine Ji looked at the palace maid beside her and asked.
The palace maid smiled and said, "It should be almost done."
"It's been too long." Concubine Ji couldn't help but mutter. She was impatient when she thought about how Queen Mother Wang might be mocking her later, and she felt a little distracted.
"The Queen Mother, the Prince and the others are back."
Concubine Ji's eyes lit up, and she even tidied up her palace clothes, holding a face and said, "All of them are ready for me."
Soon, Prince Min took his princess Xia Yu into the hall, who was one step behind him. This fell into Concubine Ji's eyes and nodded secretly, just knowing the rules.
In the entire palace, only Concubine Ji was qualified to recognize the two of them and worship tea. Therefore, there were not many people in the palace, and even the concubines were waiting outside. They naturally wanted to offer tea to the new princess.
Concubine Ji looked at Princess Min with a rosy face. She was extremely beautiful. With this appearance, if she could give birth to a legitimate son, she would definitely be an extremely handsome young man. What a pity...
A nanny came forward with a maid holding a tea tray and sang with a smile: "Please give tea to the concubine."
Prince Min received the tea, knelt in front of Concubine Ji, and said respectfully: "Son invites the mother to have tea."
"Okay, Mother, drink it, get up quickly, don't kneel." Concubine Ji took the teacup without saying a word, took a sip, urging him to get up, looking like he was afraid that his legs would hurt after kneeling for a long time.
Princess Min knelt straight, took the tea and held it high above her head, and her voice was crisp: "My daughter-in-law invites her mother to have tea."
Concubine Ji didn't answer for a moment and wanted to let her go. As soon as she opened her mouth, she saw Prince Min's gaze.
She hurriedly took the tea and took a sip, and said, "The first bride, Xia, you have entered the door of Prince Min's mansion. From then on, you will be a member of my Daqing royal family. You'd better forget everything in the past. As the official concubine, you just need to serve your husband, be filial to your mother-in-law, educate your children, and take good care of the concubines in the back house. This is your duty. Don't cause trouble and cause trouble to Ze'er for the royal family."
Princess Min respectfully bowed her head: "The daughter-in-law follows the teachings of her mother."
Late Chun next to him felt a little distressed, it was obviously a warning to the princess.
Concubine Ji nodded with satisfaction and took a pair of white jade bracelets on the maid's tray next to her and sent them to her: "I have nothing good to do, and it's even better to cross the Empress Dowager. This pair of bracelets was given to me by the late emperor. I have been thinking about leaving them for my daughter-in-law, so I will reward you."
It's really cheap for her.
Princess Min took it with both hands and respectfully bowed and thanked him: "My daughter-in-law thanked her mother for her reward."
Seeing that she was so obedient, Concubine Ji said without saying anything for a moment, "You haven't used breakfast yet when you come back from the palace, right? You can go back to the main courtyard again, and you have to see the concubines in the backyard, Song'er and the others, so you have to recognize your face."
Princess Min looked at Prince Min, who said, "Then let's pass on the meal."
