Chapter 16 Rules, King Ning is infatuated
Nanny Xu at the side followed the Queen's gaze.
Just now she felt that Princess Ning was a little different from before. It turned out that she had changed out of her plain dress.
Looking at it now, its bright and beautiful appearance is like a peony bud about to bloom.
There is some resemblance between her eyebrows and eyes and those of the Queen.
No wonder it's so eye-catching.
Lin Miaoyin hurried forward to support the queen, "In the past, Miaoyin was ignorant and didn't understand my aunt's painstaking efforts. Now I realize that my aunt has a good vision."
Hearing these words, the queen's eyes became deep.
Just now, Madam Xu told her that this girl was a little different from before.
She didn't believe it at first. Miaoyin grew up under her care. She had a pure mind and simple ideas, so she was fooled by Xiao Chen.
That's why she doesn't think she can change.
But now, in just a cup of tea, she felt that the girl in front of her was like a different person.
According to her personality, she would definitely make a fuss when she learned that it was her will for Beigong You to take a concubine. She was also prepared for her to storm into Ganquan Palace in anger. However, this girl never mentioned this matter since she entered Ganquan Palace, and she even took the initiative to care about her health. This was really unlike her.
"Miaoyin, do you blame your aunt?" she sighed.
"Why do you say that, Aunt? You are thinking only of me, how can I blame you?"
Beigong You and Song Qingyun were childhood sweethearts, but they were separated because of the interference of the original owner. According to Beigong You's personality, even if he was afraid of the queen, he would carry her into the palace sooner or later.
However, the matter of selling official positions and titles was brought forward because of Beigong Yu's intervention.
The Queen's intervention was fruitless, so she proposed conditions to Beigong You to let him and the original owner consummate their marriage. Unfortunately, the original owner was too proud to accept it.
But from an outsider's perspective, the queen has done her best to fight for the original owner.
Although there was some selfishness in this, her love for the original owner was genuine.
She suddenly envied the original owner. Although she lost her mother when she was young, she still had an aunt who loved her. But she was an orphan, and apart from Fanfan, no one had ever really cared about her.
"You really don't blame your aunt?" the queen asked again.
Lin Miaoyin smiled and nodded.
The queen patted her hands gently and said as if to assure her: "As long as your aunt is here, Song Qingyun will never be able to surpass you."
However, there was a hint of profound meaning in her lowered phoenix eyes.
At this moment, the little palace maid came into the hall and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Ning and Concubine Song are here."
As if she was afraid that Lin Miaoyin would go crazy after seeing the affection between Beigong You and Song Qingyun, Nanny Xu stepped forward and whispered, "The imperial kitchen just sent some snacks over. Can I take you over to try some?"
"I'm not hungry. I just want to stay here with my aunt."
Nanny Xu subconsciously looked at the Queen, and the Queen sighed softly, "Just let her stay here. This day will come sooner or later. She has to grow up."
Then she asked the palace maid to invite the person in.
Soon, Beigong You walked into the hall, and Song Qingyun followed him with lowered head.
Lin Miaoyin helped the queen sit down and looked at the two of them coldly as they paid their respects.
"Your son pays respects to your mother."
"I have met Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health."
"Get up." The Queen raised her hand gently and glanced at the two of them. "Have you paid your respects to the Emperor?"
"Yes, your son just came back from the imperial kitchen." Beigong You bowed.
The queen nodded and turned to look at his side, "Why is Concubine Ning still wearing wedding clothes?"
The intimidating voice made Song Qingyun tremble involuntarily.
She subconsciously grabbed the sleeve of Beigong You in front of her.
Lin Miaoyin didn't take the two of them seriously at all, so she ignored Song Qingyun's little actions.
However, there was a flash of coldness in the eyes of Aunt Xu who was standing by.
She is truly a vixen who is not worthy of being in public. Even in front of the Queen, she still behaves like a little girl.
She took a look and sneered, "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. This is not Concubine Ning's wedding dress. Our Prince Ning loves Concubine Ning and has given her a special honor and privilege, allowing her to wear a red wedding dress. This has become a good story in Shengjing City."
The queen chuckled, "Prince Ning is indeed infatuated."
Beigong You clenched his sleeves slightly.
He violated the ancestral rules by taking a concubine, and the queen would not let him off easily, but he didn't care.
A woman only gets married once in her life. He had already wronged Yun'er by making her his concubine, and he must not wrong her again in these ceremonies.
When Song Qingyun heard this, her face changed instantly and she knelt down hurriedly. "Queen, please don't blame the prince. It's none of your business. Those were my requests and the prince agreed because he felt sorry for me. No matter how wrong I am, it's all my fault. Queen, please punish me if you want."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and trembled.
It’s a pity that except Beigong You, no one present was willing to show mercy to women.
"Yun'er, what are you doing?"
Beigong You reached out to help, but Song Qingyun refused to get up. "I did something wrong, and I deserve to be punished."
Lin Miaoyin understood it in her heart.
Beigong You violated the ancestral rules and must be punished. Song Qingyun knew this very well, so she planned to retreat in order to advance.
The queen knew Song Qingyun's thoughts better than she did. She smiled, but her words were dignified. "Prince Ning's taking a concubine has caused a great uproar in the city. Now is a time of trouble. Everyone is watching him. If he makes any mistakes now..."
As she spoke, she changed the subject and looked at Song Qingyun. "You are a good child and you understand the pros and cons, but rules are rules. Madam Xu, go and ask Madam Si to come over."
Nanny Si is the teaching nanny in the palace. She is known for her strictness and there is not a single concubine in the palace who is not afraid of her.
Song Qingyun's face turned pale instantly.
She looked at the man beside her with eyes asking for help, but Beigong You couldn't save her.
Not long after, the young maid invited someone over.
After Nanny Si entered the hall, she greeted the Queen, Beigong You and Lin Miaoyin in turn.
"Madam Si, you are an old man in the palace. You have trained all the concubines in the palace over the years. I am always confident in your work."
The Queen looked at Song Qingyun and introduced her, "This is the new concubine of Prince Ning. She didn't have time to learn the rules before she was brought into the palace. Today, I will hand her over to you. You teach her well."
Nanny Xu added, "Now that Concubine Song has entered the palace, she is a member of the royal family. If there are any mistakes in the rules and etiquette in the future, it will be a loss of face for Prince Ning and the royal family. Old sister, please take care of it."
Nanny Si understood and stepped forward to pay her respects, "This servant greets Concubine Song."
"Madam, you must not do this. You are really embarrassing Qingyun." Seeing Madam Si performing a great ceremony, Song Qingyun hurriedly stood up and supported her.
Nanny Si insisted on bowing, "You are the master, and I am the slave. You deserve this courtesy."
Song Qingyun, however, looked terrified.
Seeing her cowering appearance, Nanny Si suddenly became stern and said, "Please take a few steps, Concubine, so that I can have a look."
