As far as the public is concerned, she is the queen.
Personally speaking, she is Su Xing'er's mother-in-law.
The Queen Mother is the elder. It is understandable that Su Xing'er went to pay homage to the Queen Mother first after entering the palace. However, after paying homage to the Queen Mother, she did not come to pay her respects. She clearly did not take her as the Queen's mother-in-law seriously.
Since the Queen Mother could find a reason to punish her son to kneel, she could also find a reason to reprimand Su Xing'er.
Before Mammy could leave, a palace maid came in from outside and reported, "Empress, Princess Jing is here to pay her respects to you."
"..." The queen's face looked better now, "Let her come in."
Su Xing'er took Lu'er to greet the queen.
"sit down."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Now that she is here, the Queen will naturally not be able to find fault with her for her lack of etiquette.
Su Xing'er grew up in the palace, and the queen watched her grow up. Seeing her lowering her eyebrows, she felt a little better. She said half-persuading and half-warning, "When you get married, you should do it."
To live a good life, as a wife you need to be broad-minded and generous.
Also, as the saying goes, husband and wife are one body, both prosper and suffer, you should also take this to heart."
This is a feudal society.
No matter how courageous Little Xingxing was, she would not dare to challenge the imperial power, especially since the Queen was Chu Mohan's biological mother, so of course she would not stand on her side.
Of course, she didn't want to draw the queen into her camp, but she couldn't break up with the queen and become enemies.
After all, she had watched countless harem dramas. Little Xingxing lowered her head and felt aggrieved, "Mother, I, and I all understand in our hearts.
Erchen never thought of monopolizing the prince. The prince took concubines in order to spread branches and branches of the royal family. Erchen agreed with both hands and feet.
It’s just that I am Princess Jing after all. As soon as I entered the house, Su Yirou also followed her. How can I have any dignity as a princess?"
"The Queen Mother also feels sorry for her son. She is afraid that if he loses prestige in the palace, he will be bullied by his concubine, so she punishes the prince."
The Queen is not an unreasonable person.
I just saw my son was injured and felt sorry for him.
She is also a woman, and her husband has a harem of three thousand beauties. Once upon a time, the emperor also disgraced her for those concubines.
In the end, the Queen Mother came forward and reprimanded the Emperor, and then the Emperor restrained himself.
With this thought, the Queen's last bit of dissatisfaction disappeared. She asked, "I heard that you punished Su Yirou in the palace today?"
"Su Yirou took advantage of the prince's favor and disrespected my son, so my son punished her."
"You are the princess and she is the concubine, so you should set rules for her."
Little Xingxing breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
Not to mention the royal family members, even ordinary people, it will take at least a year after the first wife has passed away to take a concubine. This is the dignity given to the first wife.
Families with a little bit of care will wait until the legitimate son is born before taking concubines to their son. Unless the wife has nothing to live with, the children born from a common concubine will be older than the children born from a legitimate daughter. In the future, the children born from a common concubine will grow up first. It would be better if the concubine keeps his own rules.
, but if the concubine has evil intentions, he may still fight for the family property, causing unnecessary disputes in the family.
The queen is Chu Mohan's mother, so she naturally has to consider the peace of his back house. She reminded Su Xing'er, "You and Mo Han are newlyweds now. It's the right time for the honey to be mixed with oil. Take advantage of this moment to give birth to a child."
Children and half a daughter are what matters.”
"..." She was crazy to have a child with that big pig's trotter.
Little Xingxing was complaining in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, "I don't have to worry about it."
"Um."
Seeing the Queen serving tea to see off the guests, Little Star left wisely.
She went to Cining Palace for lunch. The Queen Mother really loved her and asked the small kitchen to prepare a large table full of dishes, all of which Su Xing'er used to love.
While eating, Little Xingxing noticed that the Queen Mother's diet was relatively greasy. Thinking about her health, Little Xingxing advised her, "Grandma, you are old and don't exercise much. It is better for your health to eat less meat and fish and eat a lighter diet."
The Queen Mother didn't take it seriously, "I'm a long time old. I'm getting less and less with each passing day. I have to pay attention to what I do."
"..." Little Xingxing directly moved the Dongpo pork in front of her and placed a plate of seasonal vegetables in front of her, "Grandma, you need to eat more vegetables."
The Queen Mother suddenly looked disgusted.
Seeing this, the concubine laughed loudly, "Xing'er, you are the only one who can control your grandmother now."
The Queen Mother took a piece of green vegetables and put it in her mouth. She disliked it so much, "It smells green and tastes bad."
"..." The image of the Queen Mother suddenly became lively and lovely. Little Xingxing felt no pressure at all to get along with her. She also took a bite and her face suddenly twisted.
I go.
What kind of green vegetable is this? It's salty and old, just like eating grass.
Little Xingxing almost spat out the green vegetables in her mouth. The Queen Mother was amused by her and said, "You can't even eat it yourself and why are you letting grandma eat it? Isn't it hard to eat?"
"..." Little Xingxing has been in all kinds of harsh environments since she was a child, and she thinks she is not picky about what she eats, but... this is too unpalatable.
Little Xingxing swallowed the vegetable leaves with difficulty, "Is this vegetable steamed? The vegetable leaves are already steamed, why don't you fry them?"
“In addition to steaming or boiling vegetables, is there any other way to eat them?”
"..." Facing the Queen Mother's confused eyes, Little Xingxing realized that in this era, there is no cooking yet.
She is an archaeologist and knows that conditions in ancient times were backward and grain output was low at that time. Those who could eat fine rice grains were rich people, while the poor could only eat coarse grains, that is, things like Wowotou. Sometimes they could not even eat rice.
I can't even eat the cornbread.
At that time, meals were mainly steamed, boiled, and grilled, and people only ate to fill their stomachs and did not pursue any taste, so there were very few condiments.
Many poor people only have coarse salt for condiments all year round.
Little Xingxing really wanted to cry now.
It didn't matter to her how many concubines Chu Mohan wanted to have, but she couldn't bear to have her eat only steamed vegetables for every meal from now on. She was now crazy about the delicious food of the 21st century.
Sudden.
Her eyes fell on the jade bracelet on her wrist. She touched the jade bracelet and muttered the words "instant noodles" silently. A bucket of beef-flavored instant noodles immediately appeared in the empty room.
Little Star's eyes lit up.
With this all-purpose treasure chest, even if she doesn't become a princess in the future, she doesn't have to worry about starving to death.
Little Xingxing's mood instantly improved again.
...that night.
Before the palace door was locked, Chu Mohan came to Cining Palace to take Xiaoxing back home. On the way home, Chu Mohan and Xiaoxing sat in the same carriage, but neither of them paid any attention to the other.
It was already dark when we arrived at the palace. There were lights in the palace, but the light was definitely incomparable to modern incandescent lamps. Little Xingxing felt that everywhere he looked was in darkness.
After finally reaching the backyard, Xiaoxing and Chu Mohan parted ways.
"etc!"
"what?"
What kind of tone is this! Chu Mohan originally wanted to ask her why she didn't complain to the Queen Mother, but when he heard her tone, he immediately became angry, "I'll apologize to Rou'er tomorrow!"
"What?"
"You hit her for no reason today. Do you think this matter will be resolved so easily?"
"I have done nothing wrong. It is absolutely impossible for me to apologize to her!"
Chu Mohan was furious, "Su Xing'er, do you think this king really doesn't dare to punish you?"
Little Star turned around and left.
Looking at her back, Chu Mohan became even more angry. He ordered sternly, "From today on, the princess is not allowed to step out of Jinyuan without my permission!"
