Chapter 237 The Bride
There is no queen in the harem, and the highest ranking and most honorable one is the Empress Dowager Cao.

King Yan and his wife led a pair of newlyweds into the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

Empress Dowager Cao was dressed in red palace attire, full of golden hairpins, and face full of makeup, even more gorgeously dressed than the newly married Princess Yan.Empress Dowager Cao opened her mouth to smile, and the turbid breath came to her face: "Good boy, come to great-grandmother quickly."

Zhu Yun saluted respectfully, and then walked to Empress Dowager Cao.

Zhu Yun was born handsome, intelligent, gentle and polite, diligent and motivated, and Emperor Long'an loved him the most.Among the dozen or so great-grandchildren, Empress Dowager Cao also likes Zhu Yun the most.

Empress Dowager Cao cheerfully pulled Zhu Yun to talk, and Emperor Long'an also looked at Zhu Yun with gentle eyes.

Emperor Long'an was moody and unpredictable. In the past two years, the dragon's body was weak and became more irritable and irritable.Even King Yan and King Han were scolded from time to time.Only for the beloved emperor and grandson, will he show a little kindness.

Cao Guifei saw it in her eyes, and her heart was sour.

Of course the King of Han also had sons, but the oldest was only seven years old.Compared with Zhu Yun who has grown up, he is still a child.

King Yan has the momentum he has today, firstly because King Yan is smart and capable, secondly because of the full support of the Yuan family and Wang family, and another important reason is that he gave birth to a good son.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty," Concubine Cao said with a smile, "The bride is still waiting to offer tea!"

Empress Dowager Cao smiled happily: "The Ai family was so busy talking to brother Yun that they forgot about their great-grandson-in-law."

All the concubines in the harem were very appreciative and laughed.

Amidst the laughter, the new concubine of King Yan stepped forward, knelt down on the futon, and respectfully kowtowed three times.He took the tea bowl from the palace man and presented it to Empress Dowager Cao.

The teacup with blue and white prints was boiling hot.

This is also the customary rule in the palace.The tea bowl has been scalded with boiling water. If the bride does not hold the tea bowl, or if she is scalded, she will make a fool of herself in public.

Empress Dowager Cao was not in a hurry to pick up the tea bowl, she first looked Yuan Min up and down, and then said with a smile: "The Yuan family's descendants are prosperous, and the Ai family also hopes that you will be a blessed one, and you will be a blessing to the Tian family in the future."

Yuan Min's pretty face flushed slightly, and she answered softly.The hand holding the teacup remained steady.

Empress Dowager Cao said to Princess Yan again: "You are delicate and weak. The new daughter-in-law looks healthy and blessed."

Empress Dowager Cao has no objection to how King Yan loves Princess Yan.The only dissatisfaction is that Princess Yan only gave birth to one son.The king of Yan was partial and refused to accept his concubine.

Concubine Yan didn't seem to hear the disgust in Empress Dowager Cao's words, she responded with a smile: "Grandmother is right. Min'er has practiced martial arts since childhood, and her body is much stronger than grandson's daughter-in-law when she was young."

Princess Yan glanced at her daughter-in-law, feeling very distressed.When she offered tea back then, she also went through this experience.She had never been subjected to this kind of grinding, and she couldn't hold the tea bowl at all. It was King Yan who knelt down and offered tea on her behalf.

"Grandmother, let's drink tea first!" Princess Yan couldn't help opening her mouth.

Empress Dowager Cao nodded slightly.The nanny next to her took the tea bowl on her behalf and sent it to Empress Dowager Cao.

At this time, the teacup was no longer so hot.

Yuan Min's slender fingers turned red quietly.

Seeing this, Zhu Yun felt quite uncomfortable.Just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw his new wife raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly.

The Palace of Yan Palace is just when the flowers are blooming and the fire is cooking. As a new concubine, she must not lose her appearance in public if she wants to maintain the dignity that the Palace of Yan should have.

Zhu Yun's heart was slightly sour, and he remained silent.

Soon, the palace man brought a second bowl of tea.

This time, Yuan Min picked up the tea bowl and offered it to Emperor Long'an.Emperor Long'an was not in any trouble, and quickly drank his tea.When it was time to offer tea to Concubine Cao, Concubine Cao deliberately delayed and talked affectionately for a long time.

Yuan Min's hand holding the teacup didn't move at all.

After Concubine Cao took the tea bowl, Yuan Min slowly lowered his hand, his fingertips were already red.

King Yan swept his eyes away and nodded secretly in his heart.

Yuan Min is the daughter of her uncle Yuan Hai, and the only girl in the Yuan family's generation. Although she was raised pampered, she is completely different from Yuan Xiang when she was young.

This kind of character and boldness is suitable for the court, and also suitable for being the future grandson concubine.

……

It was a lively day in the palace.The next day, Zhu Yun returned home with his new wife.

The Yuan family has a large population, but most of them serve in the frontier army.Now in the capital, only General Yuan and Yuan Hai, and a few other young children.

The female relatives are neat and tidy.

Zhu Yun is the grandson of General Yuan's direct relative. He has been in and out of Yuan's house since he was a child, and he is very close to his cousins.When the grandmother and aunts saw him, they became even more affectionate.

Yuan Min's mother-in-law, Mrs. Xu, took Yuan Min's hand and looked at it carefully. Seeing that Yuan Min was extraordinarily charming but her eyes were blue, she couldn't help but whispered: "Just married, don't indulge your son too much. As time goes by, water flows forever. That's the truth."

Yuan Min's cheeks flushed with shame.

The newlyweds are passionate, and it's the first taste, so it's inevitable that they will be a little bit wanton.

Seeing that her daughter was shy and silent, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but smiled knowingly, and continued softly: "I know the temperament of the princess. It's too late for her to love you, and she will never make things difficult for you. Maybe soon, the inner house will be taken away." I leave all the chores to you."

Yuan Min whispered: "When we had breakfast today, my aunt told me about it. After the full moon of the wedding, let me take care of the inner house."

Xu: "..."

I don't know whether to slander her or feel lucky for her daughter.

"Forget it, with her temper, everything she says is true." Xu exhaled, "For all these years, she has just been known as being in charge of the inner house, and all the things she does are red jade."

"You have passed through the door. You are a serious imperial concubine. It is appropriate to take care of trivial matters in the inner house."

Concubine Yan has been criticized a lot, and there is no shortage of this one.

Yuan Min nodded slightly.

Mrs. Xu asked the young couple how to get along with each other, asked about the situation in Prince Yan's mansion, and said: "Right now, the most important thing in Prince Yan's mansion is to establish a crown prince."

"His Royal Highness King Yan and the Crown Prince worry about these matters. You, the Crown Princess, have to be careful in your actions, and build a good reputation for being virtuous and capable."

Concubine Yan can't be counted on. From now on, Yuan Min will have to take care of the inner house, enter the palace to pay her respects, and deal with the prince's mansions.

Not an easy task for a new bride.

Yuan Min's eyes were firm: "Don't worry, mother, I know what to do."

Zhu Yun's marriage leave is seven days in total.

Once the seven days are over, the gluey wedding life will come to an end, and Zhu Yun will continue to study in the palace.

After Emperor Long'an returned to the court, King Yan didn't have to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony every day, but went to the Ministry of Punishments as usual.

On this day, a memorial made by King Zhao caused a great disturbance inside and outside the court.

Zhao Wang said in the memorial that the harem phoenix has been vacant for several years, and as a son of man, he can't bear to see his father as a widower.As a subject, I can't bear to see that the emperor has no heir, so I ask the emperor to issue an order to establish a heir.
