Leng Xiao calmed down for two days, suppressed all those thoughts that he shouldn't have, and waited until he came back to talk about everything.
It is the stupidest idea to waver in your original intention. Since two people have chosen to be together, she cannot have the final say in matters.
On the third day of next month, Qi Baixing and Hong Lingling came in.
Because the empress dowager gave the order directly, although there was no wedding ceremony, the entrance was still very grand.
Liangyuan Liangdi came in and wanted to kowtow to the princess and serve tea, but Leng Xiao said she was not feeling well and could not come out.
Leng Xiao had no other ideas. He still followed the same attitude towards Lu Liangyuan as before. He didn't ask or obstruct her. It didn't count as resistance. She was pregnant with the child now. Since she had expressed her thoughts, there was no need to confront the Empress Dowager. many.
Moreover, the joke caused by this incident had nothing to do with her. The prince married Liang Yuan and Liang Di while he was away. Even though there were guests, it was like a house without a master.
The Queen Mother was so anxious that she didn't care about propriety or royal dignity.
She Leng Xiao was so virtuous and capable that the empress dowager, who had been domineering for most of her life, lost her sense of proportion.
The Ministry of Rites went to look for Leng Xiao, but did not see her. They even carried the Queen Mother out, but Leng Xiao was still missing. The Ministry of Rites didn't know what to do, so in the end they had no choice but to let it go.
Anyway, the person has come in, let’s wait until the prince comes back, and the purpose of the empress dowager is just to send the person into the East Palace. The ceremony has been completed, and the mission of the Ministry of Etiquette has also been completed.
Moreover, the task of entertaining guests also fell on Aunt Wanrong and the Ministry of Etiquette. The original minions in the East Palace were almost unable to give orders. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager had the foresight to send many people over, so in the end it was It wasn't too rude, except that the Crown Princess didn't come out to accept the kowtow and offer tea, everything was considered etiquette.
The emperor was unhappy when he heard that Leng Xiao was not even willing to come out to drink tea, let alone accept the kowtow from Liang Yuan Liang Di. He had a few words with the queen and asked the queen to send the princess to teach her more.
The Queen retorted, saying that the Crown Princess had just returned and married Liang Yuan and Liang Di, so she would inevitably be unhappy. The emperor was furious after hearing this, "Is it a big deal that she is unhappy? No matter how unhappy she is, she has to hold it in. If she doesn't want her husband to have concubines, she will marry into a commoner's family. There are even commoner's families, so why should she? ?”
The queen was most afraid of the emperor's anger and did not dare to say anything more. She only promised that she would talk to the princess.
This matter caused turmoil for a while, but in the end no punishment fell on Leng Xiao, which disappointed the Jin Palace.
The Jin Palace originally thought that the Empress Dowager would punish Leng Xiao for this, or at least issue an edict to reprimand him, but nothing happened.
Concubine Xiao was very unhappy. Although Leng Xiao seemed not to be disobeying the order, she was actually disobeying it. How could she not be punished for doing so?
She hated Leng Xiao even more because of this. How could she get such tolerance?
She tried to go to the East Palace to see Master Ming Wudao, but without the guidance of Princess Jin, she could not enter the East Palace at all. Now her role in staying with Prince Jin was becoming more and more useless, and she was very anxious.
East Palace.
Qi Liangdi lived in Caifeng House, and Hong Liangyuan lived in Mingcai House. The two courtyards were adjacent to each other and separated by a wall, but they were some distance away from Leng Xiao's Zhanyue House.
On the second day after joining, the two of them went together to greet Leng Xiao, but Ape stopped them and said that the princess had not seen them. Hong Liangyuan came from a wealthy family. After being refused by Leng Xiao, she stood outside calmly and said to Ape: "As a new concubine, you should kowtow to the Crown Princess and serve her with tea. If the Crown Princess is unwell, we will do the same." I should wait on you and ask the girl to report back to the Crown Princess. I will wait here and come here every day until the Crown Princess is willing to receive the concubine."
