The Favoured Medical Princess: 376 Tea Ceremony (Second Update)

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

The shoulder carriage carried Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei all the way to the front of Furui Hall before getting off the sedan chair.

Xiao Yi immediately and diligently stepped forward to help Nangong Yue get off the shoulder carriage. Grandma Luo and the mothers-in-law who were standing by had never seen the prince being so compassionate and cherished the jade, and they felt it was incredible.

Xiao Yi didn't care what others thought, he took Nangong Yue's hand affectionately and walked towards the main hall.

But Xiao Fei had long been accustomed to strange things, and followed them calmly, thinking: Anyway, the eldest brother can't stick to the sister-in-law for a few days. In the future, the eldest brother will be busy with official duties, so the sister-in-law can be with her during the day. Playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, let’s talk about the past and the present!

Thinking about it, Xiao Fei finally regained her energy and her steps became much brisker.

The main hall was almost overcrowded, with all the masters of the house gathered together.

On the main wall facing the gate hangs a three-foot Chao Molong painting. Below it is a large red sandalwood carving table. On both sides are red sandalwood Taishi chairs. There are sixteen nanmu chairs in two rows underground. The marble floor is in the middle. There is a red wool carpet.

When Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue walked into Furui Hall, everyone's eyes turned towards them.

The person walking side by side with Xiao Yi was naturally the Crown Princess who was canonized by the imperial decree. She was only fourteen or fifteen years old. She wore a bright purple feather gauze with a double breast and a light purple moonlight pleated skirt. She wore a graceful pony bun on her hair. Because it had not yet reached hairpins, there were no hairpins on her hair. Instead, she wore a few beaded flowers strung with thumb-sized pearls.

Her steps were neither hasty nor slow, and the distance of each step seemed to be measured with a ruler. Her movements were full of dignity.

Nangong Yue also looked at the people in the main hall.

According to Xiao Yi, King Nan of the old town had three sons and two daughters. The second son and the third son were both concubines. The second son was weak and sick and died early, leaving only a widow living with a pair of children, and the third son Xiao Che I have never had any great ambitions, and just want to live comfortably in the palace. Therefore, although according to the rules, the family must be separated after the death of the parents, it is fine for the second wife to be a widow, but the third wife can separate and live alone. But life outside was not as comfortable as in the palace, so Xiao Che went to ask the King of Zhennan. King Zhennan was too lazy to worry about it. Anyway, the palace had plenty of these bowls of rice. Since his younger brother refused to leave, he didn't care.

So to this day, the second and third bedrooms are still living in the palace.

Because the second wife Qiu was a widow, she naturally couldn't show up on the day when Nangong Yue came to recognize her relatives, so as to avoid bad luck.

At this moment, sitting under King Zhennan were Xiao Che and Xiao Xin from the third room.

Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue walked to the Grand Master's chair together. Sitting on the main chair was naturally King Zhennan.

A few years ago, Nangong Yue only saw King Zhennan from a distance once at a palace banquet. This was the first time in her life that she saw King Zhennan at such a close distance. The King of Zhennan looks majestic and heroic. He is about thirty-seven or eighteen years old. Perhaps because he has lived in southern Xinjiang for a long time, his complexion is a bit dull and rough, and there is a hint of arrogance in the corner of his mouth.

Nangong Yue looked at King Zhennan carefully, but unfortunately there was no trace of Xiao Yi on his face. Instead, Xiao Yi was somewhat similar to Xiao Fang. It seems that Xiao Yi obviously takes after his biological mother.

Little Fang was sitting on the Grand Master's chair next to King Zhennan. When she saw Xiao Fei, she couldn't help but shout hurriedly: "Sister Fei."

Xiao Fei was slightly discourteous when she saw her parents, but she always had a cold temperament and soon returned to her normal state. She bowed respectfully: "I have met my father, my mother..."

Little Fang stood up, pulled Xiao Fei forward and looked at her: "Sister Fei, you look a lot thinner, but are you not used to living in the capital?" As she said that, she looked at her intentionally or unintentionally. He glanced at Nangong Yue, and his words were even more meaningful.

Little Fang is wearing a bright red turban with ten kinds of brocade makeup, and a gold hairpin with ruby ​​beads in her bun. She is even more festive than the bride Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue smiled silently and paused for a moment on Xiao Fang’s waist. She remembered that Xiao Fang always liked to wear well-fitting dresses to show off her slender waist, but today, Xiao Fang’s The dress seemed to be a little bigger, completely covering her graceful figure. Could it be...

Nangong Yue had a thought in her heart, but she kept her expression silent.

"Don't worry, mother," Xiao Fei replied solemnly to Xiao Fang, "My sister-in-law is taking care of her, and my daughter is living a good life in the royal capital. She may have lost some weight due to the fatigue of traveling these days."

"Really?" Xiao Fang secretly scolded her daughter for not living up to expectations, but she said softly, "Sister Fei, then you should thank your sister-in-law properly."

"That's what mother said!" Xiao Fei nodded seriously.

Little Fang was secretly worried, why did she give birth to such a straightforward daughter?

She was about to speak again when she heard Xiao Fei say solemnly: "Mother, if you have anything else, we can talk about it later. My sister-in-law is here for the first time today, so I should let my eldest brother and sister-in-law go to my father and mother first." Serving tea is the way to recognize relatives."

Little Fang's face almost turned dark, and she almost wondered if she was hallucinating. My daughter actually helped Nangong Yue speak? !

King Zhennan looked at Xiao Yi with a straight face.

He only learned about Xiao Yi's return when he received the imperial edict at the end of March. At that time, he was shocked and didn't understand what the emperor meant.

Of course, Xiao Yi is his eldest son and the eldest son of Zhennan Palace. It is natural for him to return to southern Xinjiang. But, why is it at this time? It happened to be when Baiyue declared war on Dayu?

Xiao Yi has been a hostage in the royal capital for six years, and has probably been coaxed into submission by the emperor. He doesn't even have much filial piety towards his father. Together with these thoughts, King Zhennan became more and more uneasy, feeling that the emperor deliberately asked Xiao Yi to come back to contain him...

Such uneasiness caused King Zhennan to not send anyone to greet Xiao Yi until he entered Luoyue City, and he did not even inform the city gate captain in advance. From the bottom of his heart, he wanted to give Xiao Yi a show of strength and let Xiao Yi understand that in southern Xinjiang, he is the king of Zhennan! He is the ruler of Southern Xinjiang! And Xiao Yi is just his son!

I didn’t expect that...

Tian He is really nosy. King Zhennan was very impatient. He was indeed too lenient with these veterans who had followed his father before, and they all climbed on top of him.

Do you really think that you, the King of Zhennan, are dead? !

Thinking of this, King Zhennan’s face became darker and darker, and he said lukewarmly: “Since everyone is back, let’s serve tea first.”

The two women hurriedly placed two futons in front of King Zhennan. Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue knelt down and kowtowed to King Zhennan, and a maid immediately brought tea over.

The King of Zhennan first took the tea from Xiao Yijing, took a sip and then put it aside, then his eyes fell on Nangong Yue.

This was the first time for him to see this imperial concubine given by the emperor.

I saw her with lowered eyebrows and submissive eyes, kneeling next to Xiao Yi obediently, looking gentle and gentle, like a girl from a scholarly family, but it's a pity that people can't be judged by their appearance...

He has never heard of a new daughter-in-law who would try to seize her husband's property as soon as she entered the house and encourage her husband to be unfilial to her parents!

No wonder Xiao Yi is becoming more and more rebellious now!

Indeed, the emperor has always been afraid of their Zhennan Palace, so how could he really promise any good girl to Xiao Yi? It was just that Xiao Yi, a rebellious son, was so fascinated by beauty that he turned his head.

Nangong Yue took the tea brought by the maid, raised the teacup with both hands, and said respectfully: "Please drink tea, father."

The King of Zhennan did not take the tea immediately.

He stared at Nangong Yue coldly for a while, and said in a cold voice: "Ms. Nangong, although you are the first-grade princess conferred by the emperor, but you are married to your husband. Since you married into Zhennan Prince's Mansion, You must abide by the rules of my Zhennan Palace and abide by the three obediences and the four virtues. I hope you will firmly abide by the virtues of women and understand the four words of 'chaste, quiet, virtuous,'" After saying that, he slowly took the tea, took a sip, and gave it to Nangong Yue is a red seal.

Nangong Yue took Feng Hong with both hands and responded respectfully: "My daughter-in-law will only follow the teachings of her father."

From the first words spoken by King Zhennan, Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold. After the tea was served, he immediately helped Nangong Yue stand up and sneered: “I didn’t expect that my father actually knew me well. My son has really learned the lesson!"

Since ancient times, only mothers-in-law scolded their daughters-in-law, and husbands taught their wives by their pillows. How could a father-in-law scold his daughter-in-law on the day when the new daughter-in-law came over to serve tea?

In an instant, King Zhennan also realized that he had done something wrong, and his face became extremely ugly.

For a while, the main hall was quiet. Not to mention the maids and women who were so nervous that they didn’t even dare to take a breath. Even the masters didn’t dare to vent their anger. Xiao Che and Xin from the third room exchanged words. His eyes were calm. Everyone knew that the King of Zhennan was very proud of his face, and he was afraid that he would be angered if he was not careful.

Only Xiao Luan yawned lazily, muttering to himself: My father seems to be getting older, and he is acting like a mother-in-law, which is not simple at all! Wouldn't it be nice to serve tea earlier? He was in a hurry to go back to the study... ahem, he was studying!

The King of Zhennan glared at Xiao Yi fiercely, while Xiao Yi stared back without any hesitation, showing no fear at all.

An invisible smoke filled the air between the father and son.

Seeing that the atmosphere had reached a stalemate, Nangong Yue held Xiao Yi's hand and shook it gently.

Xiao Yi turned to look at her, his peach blossom eyes burst into a smile, and he no longer bothered to pay attention to King Zhennan.

Everyone around was stunned. Xiao Yi had a bad temper since he was a child. He would not listen to anyone once he got into trouble. How could the Crown Princess calm him down so easily? Are they all blind?

When he looked at King Zhennan again, Xiao Yi's expression had calmed down and he said calmly: "The father's tea has been served, and it should be my mother's turn next."

Mother and concubine? !

Sitting next to King Zhennan, Xiao Fang's expression froze and he could hardly maintain the smile on his face. Now that her life was taken away, she couldn't bear Xiao Yi's "mother concubine". Obviously, the "mother concubine" in Xiao Yi's mouth must be his biological mother.

Not only did Xiao Fang's expression change, but even King Zhennan's expression was a little complicated.

Although he does not have a deep relationship with his legitimate wife, Dafang, Dafang is still his first wife and Xiao Yi's biological mother. Xiao Yi has to serve tea to his biological mother first, and no one can make a mistake!

I just felt wronged that Xiao Fang had raised him since he was a child... King Zhennan glanced at Xiao Fang guiltily.

Little Fang smiled and pretended to be gentle: "Your Majesty, it is natural for A Yi to take the Crown Princess to offer incense to her sister."

Xiao Yi was too lazy to look at her hypocritical look. He cupped his hands casually and said, "Father, my son will take his wife first." After saying that, he took Nangong Yue's hand and left grandly.

The people in this room had been waiting for nearly half an hour. King Zhennan had already drank a lot of water, and Xiao Luan didn't know how many yawns he had already made. After a lot of effort, when Xiao Yi finally came back with Nangong Yue, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and thought: Finally he is back.

The King of Zhennan had long been impatient and urged angrily: "Hurry up and serve tea to your mother!"

Xiao Yi smiled and nodded, "Father said so."

The two of them walked up to Xiao Fang, and immediately a little maid laid out a futon.

Xiao Yi bowed his hands in a salute, while Nangong Yue just bent her knees slightly and called out, "Mother."

Little Fang was sitting dignifiedly, waiting for them to kowtow and salute. She also wanted to take the opportunity to lecture Nangong Yue and show off her mother-in-law. But in this posture, the two of them are considered to be saluting? Before Xiao Fang could react, Xiao Yi had already casually called the maid aside: "Bring the tea here."

The maid who was called was startled. She carefully glanced at Xiao Fang's face and brought the tea over nervously.

Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue each picked up a cup of tea, bent down slightly, offered it with both hands, and said, "Please give me some tea, mother."

With a straight face, Xiao Fang looked at the two cups of tea brought to her, without taking them, letting the two of them hold them with both hands.

Xiao Fei on the side hesitated to speak, but the current situation did not allow her to speak, so she could only watch anxiously.

Xiao Yi has never been a person who would wrong himself. He straightened up with a smile, put the tea back on the tray held by the maid, helped Nangong Yue up again, and said, "It seems that mother doesn't want to drink this cup. Time for tea."

"Ayi, Nangong clan." King Zhennan frowned and reprimanded, "Why don't you kneel down and kowtow to your mother and serve tea!"

Xiao Yi smiled and said: "Father, you seem to have forgotten that your son's eldest concubine is a princess of the first rank."

The King of Zhennan choked, and he almost forgot.

Nangong is a dignified princess. If she were to marry into an ordinary palace instead of their vassal palace, even her parents-in-law would turn around and salute her. It’s fine for me, but Xiao Fang’s life has been taken away, and she is not Xiao Yi’s biological mother. Strictly speaking, it’s not wrong for the two of them to salute like this...

But this is just what the rules say. When it comes to filial piety, Xiao Fang is Xiao Yi's aunt after all. She raised him since he was a child, so it is natural for him to be knelt down by them.

"Ayi!"

Zhennan King urged again, but Xiao Yi would not pay attention.

He simply took the tea cup from Nangong Yue's hand and said nonchalantly: "Since the mother is not willing to drink the cup of tea from her son and daughter-in-law, then the son will take his daughter-in-law to serve tea to his uncles and aunts first."

Xiao Fang's face completely froze.

In ordinary families, if the parents-in-law have not drank the tea served by the daughter-in-law, then the daughter-in-law is not really qualified. But Nangong Yue’s marriage was granted by the emperor, and the marriage of the emperor and empress, and Xiao Fang was just a stepmother, and a stepmother without a royal decree. She was not qualified to say that Nangong Yue had not served her tea, so she was not a member of the Zhennan Palace. The Crown Princess...

Xiao Fang couldn't help but froze there. If the two of them passed her and went to serve tea to Sanfang first, then who would she be?

This time it was finally possible to coax King Zhennan to let her return to the palace, but it only gave her the title of legitimate wife. First, she had no royal title, and second, she had no right to be a middle-income husband. If even the Crown Prince and Crown Princess ignored her like this, wouldn't it mean that the servants would look down on her?

Then how can she gain a foothold in the palace?

Little Fang looked at King Zhennan pitifully, and King Zhennan couldn't help but feel soft in his heart. Before he could speak, Nangong Yue, who had been paying attention to the expressions of the two of them, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's better to take the lead. It’s better to serve tea with mother.”

Xiao Yi glanced at Xiao Fang, curled up his lips and said, "That's fine, I'll just listen to you."

Zhennan King nodded approvingly upon seeing this. Unexpectedly, this Nangong family was quite knowledgeable.

The maid handed over the tea cautiously.

Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue took it respectively and bowed to hand it over.

"Please give me some tea, mother."

Little Fang took the tea cup and took a symbolic sip. She even forgot all about the admonishment she had originally planned. She sealed the two of them with red seals one by one. Nangong Yue also gave one more Set of ruby ​​​​gold head and face.

Nangong Yue accepted the thank you and handed it to Baihui.

She always had a smile on her face, she was so quiet and indifferent, which made those who looked at her secretly praise her, she was really good-tempered.
