next day
When Su Man got up, Azhi had already left, but there was breakfast on the table.
Xiaochun said as she helped Su Man wash and dress, "This was specially sent by my son-in-law. He said that you will go to offer tea to your parents-in-law later. I'm afraid you will have to listen to the etiquette for a while. Ask the young lady, oh no, the young lady, to have breakfast first."
Xiaochun said with a smile, "After calling you Miss for so many years, it's really hard to get used to calling you Young Madam all of a sudden."
Su Man looked at herself in the mirror with her hair in a young woman's bun and tilted her head left and right. "I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
As he was speaking, a maid in a blue double-breasted jacket came in. She looked pretty, but her eyes were a bit shifty and unpleasant.
Holding the jewelry box, she nodded and said, "Young Madam, Shuilan helped you get a few extremely fine pearl flowers from the storeroom. Today is your first time paying respects to the prince and princess, so you must choose the best ones to bring with you."
Su Man said nothing. She lowered her eyes to look at the hairpins and had an idea in her mind.
-
Inner Hall
Prince Chai and Princess Chai were already sitting in the hall.
The princess smiled and said, "Today is the day when your daughter-in-law offers tea. Your Highness could have stayed away, but you came all the way here. You are really giving your daughter-in-law honor."
"Hmm." Chai Wang made a perfunctory nasal sound.
He came today not only to give Yun Man face, but also to warn her. After all, Azhi has always been kind and gentle, and his impression of Yun Man is...
Just as I was thinking about it, word came from outside that the second young lady had arrived.
King Chai straightened his back and put on airs, intending to intimidate her, but when he saw Su Man's dress, he instantly collapsed.
Yun Man wore a red shirt and green pants, with a pink belt around her waist. All the fresh colors were on her body, making her look like a paint palette that had been overturned, not to mention the pearls and jade in her hair. She was simply using her head as a flower pot.
Yun Man ignored their looks and said with a smile, "My daughter-in-law has met my father and mother."
The princess quickly realized what was happening and said, "My wife's outfit today is different from usual..."
Yun Man looked down at her clothes and said with a simple smile, "In the past, the maids always helped me dress. Today, I thought I would come to meet my parents-in-law, so to show my respect, I dressed myself."
Chai Wang held it in for a long time before finally saying, "From now on, you should ask your maid to dress you up."
Yun Man nodded, "Oh."
The next step was to serve tea. The maid brought the teacup and Su Man took it and knelt in front of the Chai King. "Father, please have some tea."
After the Chai King had his tea, it was the Chai Queen's turn. After both of them had their tea, the Queen gave a speech about family harmony and respect for elders.
Yun Man nodded repeatedly, "Yes, mother. Although I have not received much education and am a concubine of low status, the prince and princess do not despise me and even ask me to be their legal wife. From now on, I will treat the prince and princess as my own parents."
She said this with a very sincere tone and her eyes were clear and bright.
King Chai nodded secretly. Although this woman was shallow and ignorant, she had a kind heart and knew how to be grateful.
He softened his tone and said, "Get up. You were married yesterday and it must have been hard. Go down and rest. Come here for dinner tonight."
"yes."
Yunman bowed deeply again, then took Xiaochun's hand and went out.
On the road
Xiaochun stole a few glances at Su Man, but no matter how many times she looked, she still felt that this outfit was very eye-catching. She poked secretly, "Girl, you won't dress like this in the future, will you?"
Su Man teased her deliberately, "Isn't it pretty?"
Xiaochun: "..."
How can I praise someone so that I can show my sincerity? It's urgent. Waiting online.
Su Man smiled but said nothing.
She had already shown her true colors to Prince Chai last time, so if she suddenly changed her ways this time, he would surely become suspicious. Furthermore, the princess was quite cunning and definitely not someone to be trifled with. Combined with these two factors, it would be better to show weakness first, so they wouldn't be on guard against her, which would make things easier for them later.
When Su Man returned, Azhi happened to be there. He was sitting at the low table on the couch, with his butt half-sat down, as if he was afraid that she would chase him away.
Su Man greeted, "Second Master."
When Ah Zhi saw Su Man's dress, his smile gradually froze. After Su Man sat down, he carefully praised her, "Sister, you look really beautiful today."
Su Man glanced at him and said with a half-smile, "Then tell me, what's so good about my outfit today?"
“…”
Azhi choked. Although he was very scheming, facing this kind of soul-searching that was certain to lead to his death, Azhi said that he simply could not bear it.
He subconsciously looked at Xiaochun, wanting to seek some help, but Xiaochun ignored his gaze. It was not that she was unwilling to help, but that she was unable to do so.
Seeing Ah Zhi's bewildered look, Su Man suddenly felt better and helped him change the subject, "Second Master, do you have anything to do today?"
Ah Zhi walked down the steps and said, "Father will take me to the palace to see the emperor this afternoon."
"Meet the Emperor?"
Ah Zhi nodded, "Yes, my father said that the Queen also wants to see me."
Su Man understood that the former princess Hong was the younger sister of the current queen. When Hong passed away suddenly, the queen was depressed for a long time. Now that she suddenly learned that her sister had a surviving child, she must see him.
Oh, if Azhi recognizes the queen, I’m afraid the princess and Yin Hong will have even less sleep.
After all, Yin Hong was the legitimate son of the royal family and the only child of Prince Chai, so the throne of Prince Chai was naturally inherited by him.
But since Ah Zhi returned to his ancestral home, Yin Hong's status has been lowered. If the Queen and the Hong family help, I'm afraid the heir to this palace will change hands.
