Dad, Did You Study Today?

This guess shocked Shen Mingzhu.

Ever since Shen Mingyue died, she had decided that she must become the consort of the Prince of Ning's Mansion.

She had this confidence because she was Shen Mingyue's sister and because she looked very much like Shen Mingyue.

As long as the Prince of Ning's Mansion could not forget Shen Mingyue, she would have a better chance than anyone else.

Not many people knew her thoughts, but Shi Yuexin was one of the few people who knew.

Knowing that she liked the Prince of Ning's Mansion, Shi Yuexin came to compete with her when she couldn't get Shen Li?

How despicable!

Shen Mingzhu was furious, and accidentally poked a hole in the silk handkerchief in her hand with her long nails.

The nails passed through the silk handkerchief, and the silk thread hooked the skin on the finger. Because of the excessive force, a large piece of the skin was directly torn off.

She almost screamed in pain.

However, when she looked up, she saw the Prince of Ning's Mansion looking at Shi Yuexin.

Shi Yuexin was originally staring at the Prince of Ning's Mansion. When she saw him looking at her, her ears suddenly turned red and she quickly glanced away.

The Prince of Ning sighed inwardly.

Shen Mingzhu almost cried.

What is this?

The Prince of Ning was flirting with Shi Yuexin in front of her?

Without Shen Mingyue, Zhou Qing appeared, and without Zhou Qing, Shi Yuexin appeared again?

What is she, Shen Mingzhu!

Why can you tolerate anyone but not me!

Looking at Shi Yuexin's red cheeks and the eyes of the Prince of Ning's Mansion looking at Shi Yuexin, Shen Mingzhu felt that she was about to split on the spot.

This was the first time she felt that life was so bitter and tormented in her life.

Of course, she really underestimated life at this moment.

On this side, Shen Mingzhu was still bitter, and on the other side, the emperor finished speaking, and the eunuch general manager cleared his throat and took out the bright yellow imperial edict.

"Shen Li, accept the decree."

"Zhou Qing, accept the decree."

Shen Li walked around the desk and came to stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Qing, and they both knelt down.

The eunuch general manager read the imperial decree of marriage in public.

The marriage is already a supreme honor, and now it is read in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, the honor is doubled.

After the eunuch general manager read it, Shen Li and Zhou Qing thanked him and accepted the decree.

The queen finally got the chance to speak, and said to Zhou Qing: "You also know that Shen Li is in a high position and has great power. His words and deeds cannot stand the slightest slander. Since you are lucky enough to be favored by Shen Li, you should respect yourself and love yourself, and don't ruin the reputation of Guangping Marquis's Mansion."

Zhou Qing bowed respectfully and said: "The common woman will remember the queen's teachings."

The queen nodded, "Remembering the teachings is not just a matter of words. Starting tomorrow, I will send a nanny to your home to teach you the rules of women's virtues."

Zhou Qing suddenly thought of two words: Wow!

The emperor frowned slightly and looked at the queen unhappily, "Why send a nanny!"

The queen raised her head with a serious face.

"Your Majesty, calm down. I have no ill intentions. As the leader of the Shadow, Shen Li's wife must often attend various palace banquets.

It's fine if it's just a banquet of our dynasty. After all, everyone is familiar with her situation and won't blame her.

But what if there are envoys from other countries?

It's better to teach them in advance to avoid any mistakes that affect state affairs.

Besides, your majesty values ​​Shen Li, and I have always regarded Shen Li as a half son. If his wife makes trouble that shouldn't be made, I will feel uncomfortable."

The emperor knew that Duan Kangbo was arrested and the second son of the Zhenguogong Mansion was still imprisoned in the Shadow Prison. The queen was upset and she must be looking for an opportunity to turn the tables.

But what she said was very high-sounding, and he couldn't refute it for a while.

The Minister of Rites then stood up and said, "Your Majesty has granted the marriage, so this marriage is different from others. Your Majesty is right. We should teach some rules in advance. Apart from other things, we should also be familiar with the matters concerning the marriage in advance to avoid any mistakes."

Shi Yuexin felt sorry for Zhou Qing.

It was Shen Li and the Prince of Ning's Mansion who wanted to cover up their tracks and use Zhou Qing as a fig leaf. Now Zhou Qing has to suffer this misfortune.

What do you mean by teaching the rules!

It sounds so high-sounding!

It's just making things difficult for people.

If you have the guts, go and make things difficult for the Prince of Ning's Mansion!

Feeling unfair, Shi Yuexin muttered, "It's not like there will be any mistakes. The bride is just a job!"

Minghe was sitting on one side, and Shi Yuexin suddenly spoke, startling her.

Fearing that the Queen Mother would embarrass Shi Yuexin, Minghe followed up and said, "Mother, I also think that there is no need to learn the rules. If there is anything to pay attention to, Guangping Marquis's Mansion will also teach. There has been no problem in Guangping Marquis's Mansion for so many years.

Shen Xin is younger than Zhou Qing, and she has always done very well."

Shen Mingzhu was angry that Shi Yuexin and she were competing for the position of Prince of Ning's Mansion, and immediately stood up and said, "Your Highness and Sister Xin'er are wrong.

Guangping Marquis's Mansion can teach because the women of Guangping Marquis's Mansion have a good foundation, and they only need to pay more attention.

Zhou Qing is different.

Zhou Qing was born in the countryside, and she has no etiquette or rules. Your Majesty sent a tutor to teach her, but I think your Majesty really loves Zhou Qing."

Minghe spoke up to protect Shi Yuexin, and now she covered for Shi Yuexin, so she was too lazy to say anything more.

Of course, she could see that this was a tactic between her mother and father.

But she was the daughter of both of them, and she could do nothing.

The Queen glared at Minghe unhappily, then smiled at Shen Mingzhu kindly, "Just as Mingzhu said, this matter is settled. I will send someone over tomorrow."

Shen Li was about to refuse immediately, but was stopped by Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing bowed respectfully and said, "I thank the Queen for her kindness. I am lucky to have such love from the Queen. However, there is one thing I don't understand, and I would like to ask for your advice."

The Queen disliked Zhou Huaishan and Zhou Qing after Duan Kangbo was arrested.

In front of so many guests, she had to keep a smile on her face, "You say."

Zhou Qing said, "What level of virtue do you think is qualified? Is Shen Mingzhu, the second lady of the Dali Temple, qualified?"

Shen Mingzhu stared at Zhou Qing with her almond eyes, with a look of contempt.

What can you compare with me!

The Queen glanced at Shen Mingzhu and smiled, "Of course, Mingzhu has been smart and sensible since she was a child, and she is generous and generous."

Zhou Qing stood up and opened the box that she had been holding in her arms.

The box contained the jewelry that Shen Mingzhu bought and returned in Jinlou that day.

When she saw the jewelry, Shen Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat and she almost choked.

Zhou Qing held the box and said seriously, "A few days ago, I was buying jewelry at Jinlou in Kyoto and happened to meet Miss Shen Mingzhu. Miss Shen Mingzhu kept calling me a girl from the workshop. Is this the popular way of cultivating female virtues in the circle of noble ladies in Kyoto now?"

Shen Mingzhu's face turned pale, "You are slandering me."

Her mother Huang pulled Shen Mingzhu's hand and looked at Zhou Qing unhappily, "Our Mingzhu has offended Miss Zhou. Miss Zhou wants to slander our Mingzhu like this."

Zhou Qing didn't even look at Huang, but said to the queen, "Whether it was slander or not, there were many witnesses at that time. I am just a little curious. When I learn female virtues, do I have to learn this too!"
