Early the next morning, Qing Fei came to knock on the door, "Second Young Master, Princess, it's time to get up and offer tea."
Qing Fei yelled three times in a row before Qing Le opened his eyes, moved his body and was sore all over, and gasped suddenly.
As soon as she opened her eyes and met a pair of eyes that were as bright as stars, Qingle's mind was full of the nonsense of last night, her little face turned red immediately, she covered her head with her head, and curled up like a shrimp.
Qin Yu smiled softly, "I'll get up first."
A muffled groan came from under the quilt, and Qin Yu went to the next door to wash up before letting the maid in.
Qing Le still had a lot of marks all over her body. Before Qing Fei came in, she had already put on her underwear to cover it up, but her little face was still flushed.
A few personal maids came in to help Qingle wash up, combing the woman's temples, with a small phoenix hairpin inserted obliquely on each side, and paired with a festive light crimson long dress, with a crescent white belt around her waist, drooping two A jade pendant with purple tassels, noble, elegant and graceful.
When Qin Yu walked over, he happened to see her draw her eyebrows in the mirror, "There's no rush, grandpa is going to have breakfast with grandma today, so I'll be waiting if I go early, so I'll eat something to fill my stomach."
Qingle raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "No, let's eat when we come back."
Qin Yu sat down with Qingle without saying a word, and handed a bowl of porridge to Qingle himself, "Be obedient, it's not too late to go after some breakfast. When my sister-in-law served tea, I made my grandfather wait for a full hour." Shichen, just to eat a mouthful of blood swallows, there is a precedent of my sister-in-law, we are nothing."
Hearing this, Qingle was relieved, and hurriedly ate a few shrimp dumplings that Qin Yu had picked up, and was watched by Qin Yu and drank half a bowl of lotus seed porridge until Qingle looked at him beggingly, and Qin Yu couldn't eat anymore, so Qin Yu gave up .
The two went to the hall together arm in arm. Sure enough, Qin Yu was right, Duke Qin is not yet in the future.
Elder Qin left the Qin Mansion last night because of something urgent, leaving only one piece of jade Ruyi to hand over to Qingle.
Mrs. Qin received a slap last night, and it took a whole night to suppress the redness and swelling, and she put on some more makeup in the morning, so no traces could be seen.
"The princess is here." Qin Yun said with a smile, very friendly.
Qing Le also smiled at Qin Yun, but it was different from before, with a slight alienation. Perhaps from the moment she married into Duke Qin's mansion, the two were destined to become antagonistic.
Mrs. Qin snorted twice, "I don't even know what time it is, could it be that there was no mother to teach you before you get married, and the wedding night shouldn't be so unrestrained, it's outrageous!"
"Mother." Qin Yun blushed with shame, and stretched out her hand to tug on Mrs. Qin's sleeve. Mrs. Qin snorted twice, her eyes still looking unfriendly.
"Second brother and sister, so many people have been waiting for you for a long time, at least send someone to speak up."
Zhen Qin also chimed in, she didn't have a good look at Qing Le at all, the corners of her mouth curled up in sarcasm, what a princess wants to marry a lowly bastard, she is willing to degenerate!
Qingle raised her lips and smiled, "This princess is no more timid than my sister-in-law, and I haven't been muddled in the middle of the night. Compared to my sister-in-law who eats blood swallows every day, this time is not too late."
Qingle didn't give in at all, and revealed Zhen Qin's truth to the sky. Anyone can mention it. What right does Zhen Qin have to mention these things
Zhen Qin's face changed slightly, he slapped the table, and glared at Qing Le angrily, "What's your attitude, I'm the eldest daughter-in-law or your sister-in-law, this is your attitude when you talk to me?"
"Oh, she has a pungent temper, so why should you bother with her, don't get pregnant, the most important thing is to give birth to a great-grandson."
Mrs. Qin spoke slowly, and squinted at Zhen Qin. Zhen Qin nodded and put one hand on her stomach, "What mother said is very true. My daughter-in-law has been educated."
"Tsk tsk..." Qingle covered her mouth and smiled, "My sister-in-law is pregnant with a child within a month or so after marrying in. However, why does the princess look at this belly? Something is wrong. The princess saw that the concubine in the past was pregnant. Three The moon can't keep up with the one month old sister-in-law."
Zhen Qin's face changed completely when he heard the words, "Second brother and sister, please be careful with your attitude when you speak, and always remember your identity!"
Qingle raised her lips and sneered, "It's a joke! The majestic princess of this princess depends on your complexion. What kind of status are you? You don't take a mirror to look at yourself!"
"You!" Zhen Qin's face turned pale with anger, and his lips were all sloppy.
"Qingle, as the saying goes, you marry a chicken like a chicken, marry a dog like a dog, and now you are married to the Duke of Qin's mansion, even if the second younger brother is a concubine, no one will look down on you. You must be respectful and orderly in everything, right?"
Qin Yun stepped forward to interrupt Zhen Qin, but didn't feel that Zhen Qin said anything wrong, and even wanted to help Zhen Qin suppress Qing Le.
Qingle glanced at Qin Yun and smiled, "This princess is the second-rank princess of the royal family. According to the rules of the royal family, my husband is the magistrate of the court and the editor-in-chief of the fourth-rank Imperial Academy. For honor and order?"
Qin Yun was stunned for a moment, but she had forgotten this level. Both the daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law of the princess are of high rank, and they won't lose their status as princess just because they get married.
This is the rule of the royal family, which is used to show the dignity of the royal family.
Qin Yun bit her lip, in terms of rank and order, in this family except Qin Guogong, no one else could match Qingle's grade, and even Mrs. Qin was no more than a fifth-grade gentleman.
"Hmph, stop fooling around with that. In terms of seniority and order, which one here is not older than you?" Mrs. Qin snorted, "I am your aunt, do you want to disobey your aunt?"
Qingle smiled, "I think Da Furen is really old and confused, just go to the horizon, the princess is the king and you are the minister, don't you understand the principle of first king and then ministers, what kind of rules do you want the king to minister to?" If you salute, you won’t be afraid of people’s jokes if you spread the word!”
Being pointed at her nose and scolded as an old fool, Mrs. Qin was really going to explode, "You are presumptuous!"
"Qingle." Qin Yun took a step forward and took Qingle's arm, "Why should you be so polite as a family? Since ancient times, it is common sense for a daughter-in-law to respect her parents-in-law. You are a newcomer, so why make trouble Woolen cloth."
Qin Yun is trying to persuade Qingle to accept it as soon as it is good.
"Big sister, what you are talking about is an ordinary family. This princess grew up in the royal family, and her blood is noble. The cousins of this princess are all top-notch. The royal family has royal rules. How dare this princess embarrass the royal family?" Well, if Uncle Huang knows, he must blame me."
Qing Le said with a helpless face, and Qin Yun, who was choking, couldn't say a word, moved her lips, seeing her look of endless oil and salt, a little frustrated and discouraged, she let go of her hand and stepped aside embarrassingly.
Qin Yu and Qin Yunting didn't interrupt the women's conversation at all, pretending not to notice.
Qin Yunting raised his eyes and glanced at Qingle, overlapping with the one in his memory, being too sharp may not be a good thing.
After the moment just now, Qin Yunting became more certain that Qin Yu must have been in the princess mansion the last time, otherwise Qin Yu would not be able to work hard to get the first prize, and he would celebrate the princess if he opened his mouth.
The kiss between the two is not like the one they just met.
Zhen Qin turned her eyes just in time to see this scene, clenched her fists tightly, her eyes flashed with darkness.
Soon Duke Qin came over, drank the tea prepared by Qingle, and handed Qingle a black jade pendant. Mrs. Qin's pupils shrank.
"Father, is this inappropriate?"
Qin Guogong said, "The princess is honorable, just a piece of black jade, there is nothing suitable or inappropriate."
Qingle didn't know, so when Mrs. Qin looked at the jade pendant, her face changed, and she could probably guess how precious the jade pendant was.
"Since grandfather gave it to you, please keep it well." Qin Yu whispered.
Qingle nodded, and put the jade pendant into her arms, "Thank you, grandfather."
Soon it was Elder Qin's turn, Qingle offered a cup of tea, and retrieved a jade ruyi from the steward.
Then came Mrs. Qin, Qingle took a cup of tea and handed it to Mrs. Qin, "Mother, please drink tea."
"Qingle, you need to change your top-notch temper. Although Yu'er is a bastard, he is still a man. If you insist on being strong, how do you let him face the world as a man? Doing so will only drive a wedge between husband and wife. The harmony between you, why bother, you grew up with rich clothes and fine food, and you don’t understand the hardships of ordinary people’s families. Now that you are a wife, you should restrain your temper and take care of your husband and children at home... "
Mrs. Qin started a long-winded education, talking endlessly, earnestly, without repeating the same.
Qingle kept squatting halfway, holding a teacup in her hand, listening to Mrs. Qin's ramblings without moving.
She had already made preparations early in the morning. Mrs. Qin would never let go of such a good opportunity. If it wasn't for the excessive disturbance last night, Qing Le could still hold on for two hours.
Qingle gritted her teeth tightly, showing no sign of impatience on the surface, but in her heart she looked down on Mrs. Qin even more, and only Mrs. Qin could use such a despicable method.
Qin Yun pretended not to see it, and didn't persuade Mrs. Qin, so she was so angry by Qing Le that she was holding her breath.
Zhen Qin was gloating, while Qin Yunting was emotional, looking at Qing Le's petite figure, unconsciously felt a little pity.
It wasn't until half an hour later that Lord Qin couldn't stand it any longer. He cleared his throat, and then Mrs. Qin stopped talking, and was about to reach out to pick up Qingle's teacup.
"Mother, hold it carefully and don't slip your hands." Qing Le said something out of the blue, causing Mrs. Qin to almost throw the teacup out. Qing Le's words hit Mrs. Qin's mind.
But being said so nakedly by Qingle, it's not easy to be slippery anymore. The teacup was put down before it touched his lips, which can be described as extremely perfunctory.
Qingle didn't care, and stood up quickly. Mrs. Qin's meeting gift was a ruby bead hairpin, engraved with plum blossoms and plums. After Qingle took it, she turned her head and gave it to Qin Yun.
"Big sister, this beaded hairpin is pretty in color, and it's perfect to go with big sister's dress. Mother doesn't mind if I borrow flowers to present Buddha."
Speaking of Qingle, she inserted the pearl hairpin into Qin Yun's temples. Qin Yun's face was gloomy, and she said bravely, "Thank you, Qingle."
Mrs. Qin turned her eyes to look at the pearl hairpin on Qin Yun's head, and felt a rush of shock, unable to swallow or spit out.
When it was Qin Yunting's turn, Qin Guogong waved his hands, "You are all of the same generation, so you don't need to offer tea, just give some greetings."
Zhen Qin was even more displeased when he heard the words, "Grandfather, after all, the husband is also the eldest son, and the second brother gets married, so there is no disrespect to the elder brother."
Qin Guogong glanced at Zhen Qin, "The emperor first and then the ministers, you should respect the princess first if you want to serve tea, why bother?"
Zhen Qin pouted aggrievedly, even Qin Guogong helped Qin Yu and Qingle, Zhen Qin originally wanted to use this opportunity to make things difficult for Qingle, but Qin Guogong's words punctured it.
"Sister-in-law." Qingle presented a ruby hairpin, but it was in the shape of a pomegranate, implying many children and grandchildren, which was an excellent omen.
Seeing this, Qin Yun felt more and more that the pearl hairpin on her head was heavy, and Mrs. Qin seemed to be being ridiculed, her complexion was not much better.
Qin Guogong smiled with satisfaction, and Zhen Qin took off a jade bracelet from his wrist. The texture was transparent, which was not bad, but it was too disrespectful.
Generally, meeting gifts are prepared in advance, and only those who have no time to prepare will take something from their body and give it to the other party, and Zhen Qin's doing this is a bit contemptuous of the other party.
Qingle didn't care, she just held the bracelet in her hand, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Duke Qin glanced at Zhen Qin meaningfully, then stood up and looked at Mrs. Qin, "Prepare for today's family banquet."
"Father, don't worry." Mrs. Qin nodded in agreement.
Only then did Duke Qin leave.
As soon as Qingle changed hands, he gave the jade bracelet to Qing Fei, "This bracelet is just right for you, I reward you."
Qing Fei happily accepted it, "Thank you Princess for the reward."
Zhen Qin's face turned pale, and he pointed at Qing Le with trembling hands. Qing Le looked at Zhen Qin contemptuously, sneered, then looked at Mrs. Qin, glanced at Qin Yun's temples from the corner of her eyes, the ruby bead hairpin Sure enough, it disappeared.
"Mother, yesterday my grandfather said that I would take care of the West Courtyard. Why don't you give me the deed of prostitution of the maid in the courtyard?"
Mrs. Qin squinted at Qingle, "You've only entered the mansion for the first day, and there are still many things you don't understand. It's not too late to get familiar with it first. There's no need to rush to seize power. Those maids and women have been working in the West Court Serving as errands, some of them are old people, my family is all on errands in the Qin family, if you are upset, you should be fined, it should not be too much, so as not to make people feel cold, saying that the Qin family is not inhuman."
Qingle raised her eyebrows, "Mother is worrying too much. I just want to accept the deed of sale. No matter how much money, I can buy it with money. I don't feel at ease if I don't hold the deed of sale, let alone I know who this servant is, if one day he betrays me, I will have a hard time and I can't tell."
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Qin almost died of anger, she glared at Qingle fiercely, "Can I still harm you?"
Qingle shrugged, "That's not what I mean. I don't have the deed of sale, so I'm afraid that those servants won't listen to me, so I don't have enough confidence."
Qingle's words were all about Mrs. Qin's bad intentions, and any fool could tell that Mrs. Qin was going to die of anger from Qingle, her chest was heaving up and down all the time.
"Didn't I just say that you just came to Duke Qin's mansion, you don't know anything and you still have a lot of work to do, it won't be too late to teach you about the maidservant in the future, why are you so anxious, kid, when you get familiar with the environment, I'll give it to you again!"
Mrs. Qin stood up and left the room after speaking. If she stayed any longer, she would definitely be so angry that she vomited blood.
Qingle raised his eyebrows, and looked at Qin Yu innocently without being angry at all. Qin Yu took Qingle's hand and left the room, leaving behind only a pair of backs, which looked surprisingly harmonious, but in Qin Yunting's eyes , it was a bit of an eyesore.
Before Mrs. Qin could sit still, the servant girl said, "Ma'am, the Second Young Madam of the West Court asked someone to invite a matchmaker, sent all the people in the yard away, and arranged for dozens of princesses to follow her." The servant girl."
Mrs. Qin burst into her forehead when she heard the words, she couldn't stop her anger, "It's against her! How many times have I said it, I have ignored my words, go and see!"
Mrs. Qin went directly to the west courtyard with her maids, and sure enough, she saw that the courtyard was full of maids and wives, and Qingle sat leisurely on a chair in the corridor, letting the two maids choose the young ones.
"What do you mean by that? Didn't I tell you that I will give it to you in a few days? You take my words as a deaf ear, don't you?"
Mrs. Qin waved her hand, "Go back, don't pick one."
Qingle raised her eyes, "It's been less than a year since the Qin family came back from the border. There are not many old people in this house. Mother, I said that there is no contract of sale, so why does mother keep procrastinating? Here, since my mother is unwilling to do this conveniently, then I have no choice but to do it myself."
"You!" Mrs. Qin's throat was sweet, and it took a long time to suppress the fishy smell.
"Besides, it was my grandfather who brought it up. I am in charge of the matter in the West Courtyard. My mother is not allowed to interfere. If my mother refuses to cooperate with me, I also don't want to bother my grandfather. There is no way to make such a bad move. I have mentioned it to my mother beforehand."
Qingle stood up slowly, glanced at the calligraphy and painting, and said coldly, "Continue to choose!"
"Presumptuous! You turned against you!"
Mrs. Qin is really useless as a mother-in-law, her head became hot, and she slapped Qingle very quickly.
