Chapter 162: Serving Tea

Zi'an's expression froze. According to the rules, when a father marries a wife, children can come out, but they should avoid the sedan chair and enter the house after the new wife pays homage.

The eldest daughter does not need to serve tea to the new concubine, but the concubine should politely call out "Miss" in front of the guests to show her respect.

In fact, everyone wanted to see this scene, because Ximen Xiaoyue started as a flat wife. According to the law, a flat wife is also a concubine. However, Ximen Xiaoyue's status is somewhat unusual, so no matter who gives Whoever serves tea is in accordance with the rules, and it is also not in accordance with the rules.

It only depends on whose head is tough, whoever can win this competition.

When the bridal sedan chair arrived, the eldest princess Murong Zhuangzhuang also came.

Her arrival made the marriage even more radiant and lively.

Ximen Xiaoyue proposed that the zodiac signs conflict, and the Yuan family was sent away, leaving only Xia Zi'an as a young lady here. Xia Zian kowtowed to Ximen Xiaoyue and offered tea, and respected her as his mother.

The lineups on both sides are very prosperous, Xia Zian doesn't say anything else, just a regent and a eldest princess are already impressive.

As for Duke Jin, besides Duke Jin, Taifu Liang and His Highness the Crown Prince also came to congratulate, as if they were facing each other. This wedding was far more complicated than what others thought.

The prince was reluctant to come. He entered the palace to ask the queen's will to cancel the marriage, and was scolded by the queen together. After he came out, he was even reprimanded by Liang Taifu.

The prince has this qualification to be self-willed, because he has a backer behind him, and someone will help him plan everything. All he needs is to walk up the stone steps that everyone has paved for him, and sit on the dragon chair. Can rule the world.

The old lady is naturally very proud, she originally wanted to expand the influence of the Prime Minister's House through this wedding.

The big red sedan chair was parked outside the mansion, and after kicking the sedan door, the bride was carried by Xi Niang into the gate of the mansion.

The bright red phoenix crown and Xiapei showed her ambition to seize the main wife. Under the red hijab, Ximen Xiaoyue looked proud. She hadn't been in the limelight for too long, and she needed this kind of attention and the moment of being the center of attention.

She was a widow in the past. As a woman, she must be low-key and restrained, and she can't even dress too brightly. She has a lot of jewelry, many of which are expensive, but she can only wear simple and ancient hairpins.

I thought that I could only spend my whole life in solitude, but I didn't expect that one day, I would become the prime minister's wife.

The dowry was brought in box after box, most of which were Chinese clothes. After learning that she was married to Xia Huaijun, she made thirty new sets of clothes in one go, all of them in bright colors.

She threw away all the plain clothes before.

She wants to start a new journey of her life with a new attitude.

She knew that there were many guests coming today, and she thought they all came to congratulate her.

When worshiping heaven and earth, because the regent who is temporarily acting as the emperor is present, the king of heaven and earth is a teacher, so after worshiping the fields, you must first worship the regent, and then you can worship your parents and husband and wife.

Ximen Xiaoyue was also a little surprised that the Prince Regent attended her wedding, because she also knew that the Prince Regent never liked to attend these occasions.

But she sees it as something important to her.

After worshiping, she was sent to the bridal chamber first. Because she was a flat wife, she didn't need to wait until the bridal chamber to lift her hijab. Instead, she went in and lifted her hijab and came out to offer tea to the elders of the clan.

After offering tea to the family one by one, Xi Niang helped her to the seat. According to her original request, Xia Zi'an and Xia Wan'er were going to offer tea to her.

Prime Minister Xia had already ordered someone to keep an eye on Zi'an, not to let her go away.

After she took the seat, everyone thought that Xia Zian must serve her tea.

Sure enough, as soon as she sat down, she heard Xi Niang shout: "Please come in and serve tea to mother."

Xia Wan'er had been waiting outside for a long time. She had been waiting inside to shout, so she didn't notice that Zi'an didn't come at all. When Xi Niang called, she subconsciously looked around, but she didn't find Xia Zi'an.

She was startled, and urged the maid beside her, "Where's Missy? Go find it."

Because of the order of seniority, Xia Zi'an had to respect tea first, and then her, otherwise she wouldn't care if Xia Zi'an came or not.

The maid ran away in a hurry.

Xi Niang saw that no one came in after shouting, so she called out again, "Please come in to see mother."

Xia Wan'er cursed softly, that little bitch has too many things to do.

Prime Minister Xia saw no one coming in for a long time, so he asked Xia Quan to go out to have a look.

Xia Quan went out, but didn't see Zi'an, so he asked the servant who was keeping an eye on Zi'an, "Where is he?"

"Miss said she was going to the latrine, so it's not easy for the servant to follow." The servant said.

"How long have you been there?" Xia Quan asked.

"Just went for a while."

"Idiot, go find it!" Xia Quan recalled that the time she attacked Yuan Shi before, she borrowed the latrine and escaped.

Zian was indeed in the hut. When the servants found the hut, she said displeasedly inside: "Go away and wait."

The servant said bitterly: "Miss, you can hold on tight, everyone is waiting for you."

Zi'an sternly said: "If you don't hide away, I will sit here for half an hour."

The servants all knew that she was not easy to offend now, so they had to step back and let one of them report first, while he stayed here alone and waited.

Another servant went back and entered the main room, "Go back to the old lady, go back to the prime minister, the eldest lady has a stomachache, and is now in the hut."

Ximen Xiaoyue's face turned a little ugly, this Xia Zi'an didn't go sooner or later, he went at this time, obviously to avoid the tea ceremony this time.

Prime Minister Xia said: "Go and urge, hold on tight, what's the proper way to ask mother to wait for her?"

Holding a cup of tea in his hand, Murong Jie said slowly, "Master Xiang, why are you in a hurry? Even the Jade Emperor can't help but wait here. There are three urgencies in people."

Prime Minister Xia sneered, "My lord is right."

The old lady said: "In that case, Wan'er, come in first to offer tea."

Xia Wan'er had been waiting outside for a long time, and when she heard the old lady's words, she straightened her appearance and walked in slowly.

Today she deliberately dressed up, and covered the scars on her face with beauty powder. Although it could not be completely covered, there were only faint traces left.

The prince looked at her, feeling disgusted in his heart. One was because of her disfigurement, and the other was because she was reprimanded by the queen and Taifu Liang for wanting to divorce her.

However, as the Taifu said, the throne is always the most important thing. As for Xia Wan'er, she just wants the position of a princess, he can still marry a bunch of concubines.

Moreover, Xia Wan'er is indeed charming enough, thinking of her charm on the bed, the prince couldn't help but get excited.

Either way, one more woman is not too many, and one less is not enough.

In particular, now that the Prime Minister's family has recruited the Duke of Jin's family, it is undoubtedly like a tiger with wings added to him.
