Chapter 12 Dismount
When the enemy meets, his eyes are always red, Su Wanqing coldly met Shen Qingyi's gaze, and quickly lowered her eyes, covering the hatred surging in her eyes.
Shen Qingyi looked at her and frowned, and after examining her eyes, she slashed it fiercely, turned around and sat back.
After everyone stood still, Su Wanqing slowly took a few steps forward, took a deep breath, tried her best to restrain the movement in her heart, and knelt in front of Shen Qingyi respectfully, with her forehead tentacles, "The concubine Su has seen the princess, please say hello to the princess." ”
Shen Qingyi looked at it coldly, staring at Su Wanqing's eyes with undisguised contempt and hatred, and after a long while, she said "um", and leisurely flicked a string of red beads on her wrist, "Jade, is the tea ready?" ”
"Back to the princess, the weather has been a little wet and cold in the past two days, the dry wood has been damp, and the dining room has not yet sent the freshly boiled hot water." The girl who replied with her thin eyebrows and fine eyes, coupled with her soft voice, taught people to have the illusion of being as slippery as being entangled by an ice snake.
"Hmm." Shen Qingyi waved her hand, and the corners of her lips hooked up a smug smile, "That is the case, halfway through the ceremony, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to get up, it seems that I can only grieve Concubine Su for a while." ”
There was a sudden silence in the room.
None of the people present were stupid, and they all saw that Shen Qingyi was pretending to be a bride from the head, so as to show his status as the main room.
Su Wanqing couldn't help sneering in her heart, if it was Shen Qingyi's secret trick to meet robbers on the way to get married, then it would be a straight dismount at the moment.
But Shen Qingyi's plan doesn't mean that Su Wanqing will let her succeed.
Su Wanqing glanced at Biwu on the side without a trace, and after getting a sure look, she bowed again, and when she looked up again, her expression was very humble and respectful, "Returning to the princess, the concubine knows the truth of respect and inferiority, and she didn't dare to slack off when she first entered the palace, so she specially cooked a tea for the princess and princess, hoping to serve it with her own hands and talk about the concubine's body and mind." ”
Her voice is not hurried, and there is no respectful flattery on her face, which makes people unable to figure out how true or false.
Hongfu, who was waiting outside the door, looked at the hot tea in her hand when she heard this, walked in and saluted, and stood beside Su Wanqing with her eyes down.
"The side concubine really has a heart." Shen Qingyi's original smile froze on her face, and she looked at the two kneeling in front of her, only to feel that the corners of her eyes were jumping, and her phoenix eyes were slanted towards Yuji as if asking for guilt.
Jade was so frightened by that gaze that she shrank back, biting her lower lip and not daring to look up, but she couldn't hide her puzzled look.
Su Wanqing knew that they would not prepare these things in advance, and they had to suffer this dumb loss, in fact, Shen Qingyi in the previous life did successfully use this excuse to make her kneel for a long time.
If nothing else, I'm afraid that even if she didn't worry about making some preparations beforehand, the stove in the dining room would be occupied. However, in this life, Su Wanqing's understanding of Yiwangfu was far beyond their expectations, she remembered that there was a stove for decocting medicine and a few medicine jars in the house where the sundries were stacked in the west side garden, so boiling water was just a matter of changing a vessel for her.
Su Wanqing saw that Shen Qingyi's face was tense and did not say anything, and she glanced at Su Yuanyi quietly, "This tea used by the concubine is not common in Beijing, it is brought from Nanling by my maternal ancestor, autumn buds and winter picking, it is the winter tea of the season, which is different from the spring tea we drink on weekdays, although it is not as expensive as tribute tea, it also has unique characteristics, and the prince and princess can taste it." ”
Su Yuanyi hadn't spoken since he sat down, his expression was indifferent, he didn't look outside, he didn't look at anyone in the room, his eyes had been faintly falling not far away, but at this moment, he suddenly glanced at Su Wanqing, who was kneeling in front of the hall.
Shen Qingyi noticed Su Yuanyi's reaction, her face subconsciously darkened, and she said a little unwillingly: "Since Concubine Fang said that there is nothing in the sky and no in the ground, then bring it up and take a look." ”
Su Wanqing hooked her lips slightly, turned around and took a cup of tea from Hongfu's hand, and held it above her head steadily, "The concubine will give tea to the prince." ”
Su Yuanyi reached out and took the tea bowl, opened the floating leaf with the lid of the bowl and tasted it, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "Not bad." ”
Su Wanqing was relieved when she heard this, took another one, raised it above her head and said, "The concubine will give tea to the princess." ”
Shen Qingyi took the tea and took a sip, it was not easy to find fault with Su Yuanyi's face, so she had to try her best not to show a displeased look, and a dry "um" was answered.
After the tea ceremony is over, the bride is usually beaten in the main room, and Shen Qingyi didn't mean to let Su Wanqing get up easily, she paused and put down the tea bowl in her hand, "You are now a person from Yi Wangfu, the palace is not as good as your mother's family, you have already married in, and you must abide by the rules here in the future." The prince is busy with official business, and I am in charge of the daily affairs in the house, if you don't go careful and make any mistakes and break the rules, don't blame me for being selfless! Do you understand? ”
Su Wanqing bowed her head and said, "The concubine keeps in mind the teachings of the princess. ”
"I hope so." Shen Qingyi snorted lowly, "How many maids are there waiting for you close now?" ”
"The concubine brought two from her mother's house." Su Wanqing replied, and Biwu Hongfu stepped forward to salute.
Su Yuanyi nodded slightly and motioned for the two to get up.
"Look, it's not stupid." Shen Qingyi naturally didn't have a good face towards Su Wanqing's people, her sharp gaze swept over the two of them, and then fell back on Su Wanqing: "According to the identity of your side room, there should be three personal maids, and the public should point out another one to you, the voice is good, and she will be waiting in your house in the future." ”
Shen Qingyi raised her eyelids and faced a maid with green eyebrows and jade face and a good appearance.
Hearing this, the maid stepped forward in an orderly manner, lowered her eyes and made a respectful gesture, and said politely: "The slave maid Liuyin has seen the side concubine, please say hello to the side concubine." ”
Shen Qingyi turned her head to look at Su Yuanyi and asked, "Lord Wang, what do you see?" ”
Su Yuanyi said lightly: "You can decide this kind of trivial matter yourself." ”
"Yes." Shen Qingyi responded, a touch of pride flashed in her eyes, "What's not about that side concubine?" ”
Su Wanqing smiled and said, "Everything is up to the princess." ”
Su Wanqing knows that one of the bride's personal maids must be from her husband's family, which is a common rule in the valve mansion, on the one hand, because the bride is not very familiar with many taboos when she enters the door, and someone must mention it from the side, on the other hand, it is also necessary to have such a person who is familiar with the interpersonal relations in the house to help the bride open up the situation and integrate into the environment faster.
Of course, in some cases, the original intention of implementing this rule will change somewhat, but after so many years, all families have always followed it, and Su Wanqing can't afford to do such an unavoidable thing, leaving Su Yuanyi with the impression of being in opposition as soon as he passes through the door.
Shen Qingyi saw Su Wanqing compromise so happily, and her eyes couldn't help but show a little ridicule.
"Is there a cold soup for breakfast that can clear the heat and remove the fire?" Su Yuanyi's hand knocked on the table and asked casually.
