Early in the morning, Shangguan Shaochen brought Ling Mu'er into the palace, and the nuns in charge of etiquette in the palace had already arranged everything, only to see the emperor sitting on the main seat early and waiting for them, because the empress was demoted and had not established a new empress , there is only the emperor in the high position.
And below are his concubines.
According to the royal law, the prince's concubine is on the same level as the emperor's concubines, while the status of the other concubines is lower than that of the prince's concubine.
When Ling Muer saw the battle in front of her, she was really taken aback, she didn't expect that there would be so many people in front of her.
"Don't be afraid." Shangguan Shaochen gently squeezed her palm, signaling her not to worry, everything is with him.
Ling Muer is not afraid, she just thinks this matter is very troublesome, as expected, it is better to stay in ordinary people's homes, as long as it is enough to serve tea to parents, as expected, she still rejects the Forbidden City with many rules.
"Second prince, please, the second concubine, to present tea to the emperor." The ceremonial mother said, and immediately a servant brought two cups of high-quality scented tea.
Ling Mu'er glanced at the emperor, then hurriedly knelt on the ground, and respectfully took one of the cups, "My daughter-in-law, Ling Muer, greets the emperor."
Since the queen's accident, the emperor's body has become increasingly vicissitudes. He stared at Ling Mu'er for a long time and finally nodded in satisfaction, "Okay."
The emperor took the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, and finally said highly, "Come here, thank you."
"A pair of gold and jade bracelets for the second princess."
After the eunuch finished speaking, a servant immediately brought a brocade box, inside which lay a pair of gold inlaid jade bracelets quietly.
This is the rule of the royal family. Every concubine who comes to offer tea after marriage will be rewarded, but this reward will vary according to the degree of the emperor's liking.
Sure enough, the moment the gold and jade bracelet was taken out, there were rustling sounds from below.
Ling Mu'er's puzzled eyes immediately looked at Shangguan Shaochen, seeing the corners of his pretty lips raised, she roughly guessed that this reward should be very honorable.
"Thank you for the reward, father and emperor. The minister and daughter-in-law will definitely remember their identities and abide by the palace rules in the future." Ling Muer said obediently, and after the emperor finished drinking the teacup Shangguan Shaochen passed by, the two had already got up.
"It seems that the emperor really loves the house and the crow. The emperor thinks highly of the second prince, and today the second prince and concubine, who was born as a civilian daughter, are also very important. If the concubine is not mistaken, the gold and jade bracelet should be given by the former emperor to the first queen. Concubine Min Gui said in a strange manner, sitting on the right side of the emperor, she shook her head, her sour tone was obviously jealous.
"Concubine Min's eyes are really poisonous. She can see clearly the origin of the reward bracelet from such a distance. This can only prove that the Second Prince's concubine is good enough to be worthy of the Second Prince, otherwise the Emperor would not accept the Second Prince from the bottom of his heart. Concubine Min is right?" Concubine Yi, who was sitting on the emperor's left, didn't want to interfere too much today, but when she heard Concubine Min humiliate Ling Mu'er so much, she couldn't help but speak back.
"What my sister said is that the second prince's concubine is not only good at medicine, but also has a heart. I don't know what method she used to make the second prince so fascinated. She threatened that she would not marry her."
Concubine Min was very angry at Concubine Yi's attack, but due to the presence of the emperor, she spoke in a very cryptic manner, "If you want me to say, the second prince is still too late to marry, in order to give the emperor many more children, we should enter a few more concubines That's right." Concubine Min Gui said, feeling very satisfied with her sudden proposal, she immediately looked at the emperor, "What does your majesty think?"
It never occurred to Concubine Min that she would suddenly bring the side concubine's affairs to the surface, and bluntly look at the emperor.
Shangguan Shaochen's complexion darkened, and he immediately said, "This prince has just married his concubine, and he is not in a hurry to take a concubine, which makes Concubine Min worry."
"How can it be said that I am worried. You are the second prince who is the most important to the emperor. Although we all know that you dote on the concubine, it is a big deal to have an heir, isn't it? You, the emperor will be happy if a few more concubines in the house work hard together I'm happy." Concubine Min raised a smile that she thought was very gentle, and when she looked at the emperor again, she looked begging for praise.
"Concubine Min is wrong. The second prince only favors the second concubine, and the second concubine can quickly add grandchildren to the Long family. Besides, the second prince has already claimed that he does not want to marry the side concubine. Is the eunuch in a hurry?"
Those who have died once are the least afraid of offending others, Concubine Yi was unceremoniously angry at Concubine Min.
"you……"
"Okay!" Before Concubine Min could argue with her, the emperor suddenly interrupted, "Concubine Min is right, prolonging your offspring is the most important thing for you princes, now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, there is no need for you to do anything, Then give me a few more grandchildren."
As the emperor said so, Concubine Min shook her head triumphantly, but who would have thought that the emperor's change of subject directly made her excited smile stiffen on her face.
"But Concubine Yi's words are also good. Only by doting on one person alone, can the second prince's stomach send good news as soon as possible. It is good for Chen'er to make up her own mind about taking concubines."
When Shangguan Shaochen heard the words, he was immediately overjoyed, "I thank you, Father, for your understanding."
When the father spoke just now, he was really worried that the father would follow Concubine Min's wishes and force him to have a few concubines in his house. He had promised that Mu'er would only marry her in this life.
But I didn't expect my father to respect his wishes so much this time.
"Your Majesty, how can they let this kind of thing go their own way." Concubine Min Gui was extremely angry, she just didn't like Ling Mu'er, and wanted to make things difficult for her.
"How can this be nonsense? Does Concubine Min Gui mean that the second prince can't even handle such a thing well? The prince's decision is all nonsense?" Concubine Yi proudly raised her head, her piercing eyes were not polite shoot over.
Concubine Min took a deep breath and wanted to say something, but the emperor stood up suddenly, "I'm tired, I'll leave this to you, remember, the second concubine didn't know many rules when she first came to the palace, so it's not too harsh."
As soon as the words fell, the emperor had already left the palace supported by the eunuch.
Ling Mu'er never expected that the emperor, who had always disliked her, would defend her so much this time.
With the words of the emperor, even if Concubine Min Gui wanted to make things difficult, there would be no reason.
Sure enough, when she looked from the corner of her eye, she saw the corner of Concubine Min Gui's mouth twitching in anger.
"Mu'er, look, how much the emperor likes you. The princes and concubines in the past came to pay their respects. Who has this kind of treatment? You also heard that no one here will dare to embarrass you. Come and sit here." Concubine Yi said to Ling Mu'er waved her hand, motioning for her to sit beside her.
Ling Mu'er smiled, and was about to walk by, but Concubine Min still didn't intend to let her go.
"Presumptuous! Although you are already the Second Prince's Concubine, we concubines are still here. After you offer tea to the Emperor, shouldn't you be offering tea to us?"
Concubine Min finished speaking, and continued to sit arrogantly on her seat.
Sensing that Shangguan Shaochen wanted to get angry, Ling Muer immediately held him down, and looked back at this person who had never planned to let her go, with a smile on her lips.
"The imperial concubine Min is right. I really should greet you, but I still know a little about the rules in the palace. Shao Chen's biological mother is no longer there, but the several imperial concubines are equal to me. Isn't it because we have mutual respect for each other? Would you like tea?"
As soon as she said this, Concubine Min's face instantly turned ugly, she did not expect that Ling Mu'er really came prepared.
"Come here, serve tea!" Shangguan Shaochen seemed to see Ling Muer's purpose, he shouted, and someone brought tea immediately.
"Since Concubine Min has the authority to be the shopkeeper in the harem, she is naturally the only concubine among the noble concubines, so Mu'er will respect Her Majesty first," Ling Muer said as she walked towards Concubine Min.
But Concubine Min was very surprised and happy when she offered herself the first cup of tea. She raised her jaw arrogantly like a peacock, with a look of 'you are wise', "It seems that the second concubine did not learn much last night. The rules in the palace, this concubine originally thought that you were born as a commoner and you don't understand these rules, so you planned to send a nun to teach you, but now it seems that I was unnecessary."
After finishing speaking, the two clinked their teacups to each other, like a gesture of friends toasting.
Ling Muer just smiled and didn't speak, but when she looked at Concubine Yi, she suddenly changed her attitude towards Concubine Min, and she actually knelt in front of Concubine Yi.
"Mu'er, what are you doing?" Concubine Yi was stunned and hurriedly tried to help her up.
Meanwhile, Concubine Min's face turned ashen instantly. "Yes, the second concubine, according to the rules in the palace, noble concubines and concubines are equal, what are you doing?"
She knelt down to Concubine Yi, but offered tea to her as an equal. Isn't this obviously ignoring her and deliberately elevating Concubine Yi? How can she not be angry?
"Shaochen doesn't have a mother, but Concubine Yi has treated me sincerely and rescued me many times in the palace. In Mu'er's heart, she has already surpassed the existence of a mother. Mu'er offered tea to her. Take care of me in the future."
Ling Muer always had a gentle and dignified smile on her face. After saying these words, she immediately held the teacup to Concubine Yi, signaling her to drink the cup in her hand.
Isn't this the kind of courtesy you have just given to the emperor?
By doing this, she treated Concubine Yi as her mother!
Although Concubine Yi was very surprised, she was very happy when she saw Concubine Min's angry face turned ashen,
"If the second concubine has a heart, then this palace will be more respectful than obedient!"
While drinking the tea she handed over, while helping her to stand up, Concubine Yi looked at her lovingly, and at the same time looked provocatively at Concubine Min opposite, her eyes seemed to say: I will always be superior to you.
"Second concubine, I said just now that you have rules, why have you forgotten all the rules in the palace so quickly, you have raised the position of concubine Yi so high, do you know that this is also a violation of the rules of the palace , what kind of punishment should I receive?" Concubine Min Gui was furious.
"Oh? This prince has won battles in the palace for more than 20 years, how could there be such a rule in the palace suddenly?" Shangguan Shaochen thought it was funny, and when he looked at Concubine Min, he raised his eyebrows. "Or, Concubine Mingui forgot what her father said before leaving. Is this purposely embarrassing my prince's beloved concubine?"
