Mo Zhaohua didn't make any more excuses, "I was thinking about something and couldn't help but get distracted."

Chu Xuanchi asked speculatively, "Is it related to the Sixth Brother, or is it because of your half-sister who is about to be embarrassed?"

Mo Zhaohua has returned to normal, "It's all related, but it's okay now, I have come to my senses."

Chu Xuanchi didn't ask any more questions and went to Chu Xuanhan's bridal chamber with Mo Zhaohua. It was more lively inside than the day he had that day.

Prince Jin was stirring up trouble again, "If the Sixth Prince doesn't lift his veil now, how will my sister-in-law go out and receive the concubine's tea?"

"The same goes for the tea service tomorrow." Chu Xuanhan really didn't want Mo Yaohua to lose face in front of others today and suffer such a great injustice.

The Prince of Jin continued, "How come I remember that the concubine and the legitimate wife entered the palace on the same day and set the rules of offering tea to the mistress in front of the guests?"

Chu Xuanhan tried to find an excuse to get away with it, "This is against etiquette."

The ceremonial officer was also present. "According to etiquette, there is no need to wait until the wedding night to lift the veil. The bride can entertain guests together with the groom."

The King of Jin raised his lips and said, "If my sister-in-law is only waiting for the wedding night, then it doesn't matter. But if you want the concubine to serve tea, you should go out."

Someone echoed, "Yes, we can't let the concubine enter the bridal chamber to serve tea to the principal concubine today, right? That would be really against etiquette."

Chu Xuanhan had no choice but to compromise, "Forget it, since it complies with the etiquette, I will lift the veil, drink the wedding wine, and then go to the main hall with the princess to entertain the guests."

Some people hurriedly evacuated, "Let's go, it's not convenient for us to join in the hustle and bustle, let's go back to the main hall and wait, there is another concubine who wants to enter the mansion."

The others followed suit and left the bridal chamber one after another, and soon only Chu Xuanhan and Yuchi Jiuyue were left in the room.

Chu Xuanhan took the scale and lifted Yuchi Jiuyue's wedding veil, revealing her delicately made-up face, "My beloved..."

Yuchi Jiyue was shy and called him affectionately, "Prince..."

"Today is a great day for us. When the concubine offers tea later, please give me some face and don't let others laugh at you."

Chu Xuanhan faced her, but he was thinking of Mo Yaohua in his heart. Even at such an important moment, he was still planning for her.

Yuchi Jiuyue was already dissatisfied. The prince was paying so much attention to her before she even entered the palace. Wouldn't she become his exclusive favorite in the future?

As expected of a concubine's daughter, she is just as charming and good at seducing men's hearts, but she won't allow herself to be bullied by a concubine like Rong Qing did.

She remained expressionless, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will only set a rule for the concubine. If she serves tea to me nicely, I will accept it."

Chu Xuanhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the wedding wine and handed it to her, "In that case, drink this cup of wine and go to the main hall with me."

After the two of them drank the wedding wine, someone quickly left for the left door to notify the concubine to enter the mansion and offer tea to the mistress.

When Mo Yaohua got the news, her hands hidden in the sleeves of her wedding dress instantly clenched into fists. She was not nervous, but filled with hatred.

According to the original plan, if Mo Zhaohua became the Princess of Qi, she would never suffer this humiliation even if she entered the palace as a concubine.

Although she also had to offer tea to the queen when she entered the palace, all the joy of the day would be because of her, not for other women.

The bridal sedan still landed in front of the main hall, but Chu Xuanhan didn't need to go over there. The matchmaker and the maid only helped Mo Yaohua get off the sedan.

Although she was wearing wedding clothes, she did not have a veil covering her head. After getting off the sedan chair, she had to step over a fire basin, while the main wife did not need to do so when entering the house.

This is a unique custom in Dongling State, which means that if a wife enters the house, she will have a smooth life, but if a concubine enters the house, she must get rid of the bad luck first.

When Mo Yaohua arrived at the main hall, Chu Xuanhan and Yuchi Jiuyue were already sitting in the main seats, with royal nobles sitting on both sides.

A maid brought a tray with two teacups and a teapot on it, and another maid picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea.

Mo Yaohua knelt down in front of Chu Xuanhan, thinking that the right was more respected, so he picked up the cup of tea on the right and raised it, "Your Highness, please have some tea."

Chu Xuanhan felt a little reluctant to see her happy face today and how pregnant she was, but he had to.

He took the teacup, took a sip, then quickly put it back and immediately asked her to get up. He really didn't want to let her stay for even a moment longer.

Mo Yaohua stood up with the help of the matchmaker and the maid, and picked up another cup of tea, and then she immediately realized something was wrong.

Although it was obviously the same cup, this cup of tea was extremely hot. She picked it up with difficulty, but finally let it go because it was too hot.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the teacup fell to the ground and fragments flew everywhere.

Yuchi Jiyue's face darkened instantly, "What does the concubine mean by this?"

Mo Yaohua lowered her head and explained weakly, "Princess, please forgive me. The teacup was too hot and I couldn't hold it."

Yuchi Jiyue showed off her princess's aura, "The tea was not hot when I served it to the prince, but it is hot when I serve it to this princess?"

She usually relied on the favor of the General's Mansion to be arrogant and domineering, and now she seemed even more domineering.

Mo Yaohua was puzzled, "I don't know what's going on. The two cups of tea are different. Your Highness's cup doesn't feel hot."

She was certain that the second cup of tea must have been tampered with. Either the tea was different or there was something wrong with the teacup.

Yuchi Jiyue questioned, "The two teacups are exactly the same, and the tea is poured from the same teapot, so how can they be different?"

Chu Xuanhan immediately ordered, "Come here, check the teapot, teacup, and fragments for me to see if there is anything abnormal."

The same teapot can be equipped with a mechanism to pour out different kinds of tea, and seemingly identical teacups can be made of different materials.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Someone immediately responded and came forward to deal with it.

Someone whispered to Chu Xuanhan, "Your Majesty, do you want to continue serving tea?"

Chu Xuanhan was about to say "idiot" but he suppressed it and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

He still maintained his usual gentle demeanor, and said calmly, "The ceremony has not yet been completed, so we must continue."

The maid immediately went to prepare tea again, and while they were waiting, Yuchi Jiuyue never let Mo Yaohua get up.

Chu Xuanchi wanted to let her get up, but seeing Yuchi Jiuyue's unhappy expression, he could only endure it to avoid any resentment.

When the maid brought the tea again, Mo Yaohua took it, held it with both hands, and respectfully offered the tea again, "Princess, please have some tea."

Yuchi Jiuyue raised her hand lightly, took the teacup and took a sip, then said with satisfaction, "Get up, and behave yourself from now on!"

There was a flash of pity in Chu Xuanhan's eyes, and he spoke lightly, "The concubine is pregnant, so go back and rest."

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Highness." Mo Yaohua had just been helped up by Jinqiu when she felt the pain in her knees. Upon hearing the words, she knelt down and bowed.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, her eyes and legs went limp and she fell forward. Jinqiu had limited strength and was unable to support her.

"Ouch..." Mo Yaohua knelt down again with a plop, and leaned forward, lying on the ground.

Jinqiu exclaimed, "Miss!"
