"Then what?" Xiao Qinzi was so nervous that his heart stopped beating, and he clenched his hands into fists and asked.
"Everyone thought that the emperor would be angry and would order the Royal Guards to seal off the scene and search upstairs to find out the person for the third princess and kill him. However, everyone thought wrong. The emperor was sitting upright on his horse, condescending. He looked at the three princesses without saying a word."
Xiao Qinzi was surprised and said: "Not a word?"
How can this be!
"Yes, the emperor didn't say a word. The third princess's maid saw the emperor coming, but she didn't say anything. So she walked forward and bowed to the emperor. Even if it was a salute, this was impolite. This girl didn’t even kneel down when she saw the emperor. It was too much! My old man was scolding her in his mind when he heard someone next to him saying that it was a courtesy that Northern Qi had to do when they saw the most distinguished guest, and it was not considered disrespectful. I finally calmed down my anger."
Xiao Qinzi couldn't help but said: "But when you go to the countryside, you have to follow the customs. She didn't have to kneel when she was in Northern Qi, but when she comes to our Western Chu, she should follow the rules of our Western Chu country and kneel and kowtow to the emperor. She is a little The maids refused to kneel down when they saw the emperor, they clearly don’t take Xi Chu seriously!”
His tone was full of resentment.
Originally, he was full of hope and expectation for the marriage between Xichu and Northern Qi, but when he heard that the maid actually didn't kneel when she saw the emperor, she just bent over, he felt angry.
The old man nodded repeatedly and patted his shoulder vigorously.
"Well said! Well said! The young man speaks very straightforwardly, and he is very angry with my old man! If you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't have noticed this! That's right, do as the Romans do. That little girl came to our Xichu You should follow the etiquette of our Western Chu Kingdom. By the way, the third princess said the same thing. When she saw the maid performing the Northern Qi courtesy, the emperor scolded her before she said anything. Those words from our country of Western Chu are obviously meant for the emperor to hear."
"Hey, the third princess scolded her maid? How?" Xiao Qinzi opened his eyes in surprise.
"Haha, what the third princess said is similar to what your young man said. It means that the maid should do as she pleases and kneel down and kowtow to the emperor. Not to mention that the third princess has a nice voice, that's what she said. , everyone was convinced. The maid's face turned red after being scolded, and she knelt down, bowed to the emperor with the courtesy of our Western Chu country, and asked for his forgiveness. Hehe, it was obviously us who were in the wrong first. The third princess is really well-mannered. Not only did she not get angry first, but she asked her maid to apologize first." The old man smiled and stroked his beard.
Xiao Qinzi also scratched his head, wondering if the third princess had been knocked unconscious by the money. Why did she do something so unreasonable
She is obviously the one who should be angry!
"What about the emperor? What did the emperor say?" Xiao Qinzi asked.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty didn't say anything."
"You didn't say anything?" Xiao Qinzi gasped.
"Yes, the emperor just looked at the third princess, with no expression on his face. Everyone was looking forward to this scene. When the unmarried couple met, their eyes must be affectionate. You and me, look at the third princess, look. As soon as the emperor appeared, he stared straight at the emperor and never looked away. Even a blind man could see the tenderness in his eyes... "
