Zhang Xiyue was a little confused, thinking that this woman was only about thirty years old, and it couldn't be Zhu Gaochi's mother! If it's his wife, I don't have to bow down, right?

"Huh...?" The imperial concubine sitting on the soft couch frowned slightly, and asked softly, "Didn't anyone teach you to act before you came?"

Zhang Xiyue was born in a family of military generals, where did he understand this, so he had to answer: "No."

The three women sitting all smiled, of course, with a mocking smile, and the Li girl said, "You have to kneel down and kowtow to the imperial concubine, do you understand?"

Zhang Xiyue held back the anger in her heart, hesitated for a moment before bent her knees and knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Zhang Xiyue meets the imperial concubine."

The imperial concubine snorted, Zhang Xiyue thought that this was the end of the matter and was about to get up, and the charming-looking woman next to her said: "If you can't move, you have to let the imperial concubine let you get up before you can get up, and now you have to kneel."

Since she was a child, Zhang Xiyue has only knelt down with her grandfather, not even her parents, and when she heard this, her anger rose a little more, and she had to endure it at this time.

The princess didn't say anything to get her up, and asked, "How old are you this year?"

Zhang Xiyue bowed her head and replied, "Eighteen years old..."

"Do you want to tell the princess first?" That Miss Li was really angry, and her tone of voice was even more rushing than her master's, "Besides, you have to look at the imperial concubine when you answer, remember." ”

Zhang Xiyue secretly sulked and raised her head, the imperial concubine was looking at her with a smile, and then said: "You don't have to be angry in your heart, these etiquettes must be understood."

When you meet the emperor or queen in the palace one day, won't you make a joke? What do you do at home? ”

Zhang Xiyue thought about it, and the anger in her heart decreased slightly, "Back to the imperial concubine, my father is the commander of the Beiping Mansion, and the two brothers are also in the army. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the daughter of Jiangmen, no wonder she neglected etiquette..."The imperial concubine glanced to the side, "Concubine Guo is also the queen of Jiangmen, and her grandfather is Guo Ying, the founding father of this dynasty;

Concubine Li is even more famous, she is the granddaughter of Xuanguo Gong Li Shanchang. The two of them were sealed by the emperor himself, and you should also pay a respect. ”

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was only more than 30 years old, and the names of Guo Ying and Li Shanchang were known to women and children. Hold me down with your name? The mention of my grandfather's name scares you to death.

Although a hundred people were reluctant in their hearts, they had to bow down and kowtow to Concubine Guo and Concubine Li, thinking that it should be over, right? I didn't expect the princess to let her get up.

The charming-looking Concubine Li said: "We are all in vain, but Concubine Tan's father used his life to save the life of the current emperor on the battlefield, otherwise I don't know whose world it is!" That's the real hard work.... ”

Oh, so it's a cheer for each other! At this time, Zhang Xiyue's knees were sore, and her heart moved and she casually echoed: "Yes, that's the real credit."

This sentence was originally perfunctory, but Concubine Guo on the side snorted coldly when she heard it.

Zhang Xiyue secretly said that it was bad, I said that Concubine Tan's father was the real credit, and the implication was that Guo Ying and Li Shanchang were not really credited.

She just wanted to explain, but Concubine Tan said at this time: "The matter of the loyal monarch of the king!" Alright, you get up! ”

The legs were so sore that she couldn't exert her strength, so Zhang Xiyue stood up with her hands on the futon.

Imperial Concubine Tan said again: "Mrs. Zhang, you are too unfamiliar with etiquette, you have to let Concubine Li teach you well before you can see the prince!" ...
