After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

The Empress Chen sent the maidservant beside her to greet them outside.

The head nanny was respectful and polite, and looked at Song Mingli with particularly eager eyes.

Song Mingli felt uncomfortable being stared at by the nanny and was worried.

What does Madam's eager look mean?

Do the master and servant really intend to make things difficult for her today?

Song Mingli turned his head and glanced at Chu Yanchen.

Chu Yanchen nodded at her calmly, telling her not to worry, he would take care of everything!

The two entered the main hall. Empress Chenfei smiled and waved to Song Mingli.

"Come, come, Mingli, come quickly!"

"This is a gift that your mother prepared for you. Take a look and see if you like it."

Song Mingli was stunned for a moment, then slowly stepped forward.

The senior palace maid was holding a tray, on which was a set of gold and jade head ornaments. The gold was pure and shiny, and the jade was the finest mutton-fat white jade, delicate and shiny.

The workmanship of this set of headgear is top-notch in the whole of Beili.

Song Mingli was stunned. She didn't expect that Empress Chen would prepare such a grand gift for her.

"This is too luxurious, mother." Song Mingli whispered.

The concubine smiled and took her hand, "You are beautiful and elegant, this set of jewelry suits you very well!"

"Hurry up, serve tea! After the tea is served, mother can give you the gift."

Chu Yanchen immediately became alert, staring at the palace maid serving tea and the cup of tea on the tray.

Before Song Mingli could reach out his hand, he immediately stepped forward and picked up the tea on the tray for Song Mingli.

Well, it’s okay, not hot.

After testing the temperature of the teacup, Chu Yanchen handed the tea to Song Mingli.

Song Mingli has already taken the tea.

Chu Yanchen still didn't dare to let his guard down, and he kept his eyes on Concubine Chen's movements.

Some mothers-in-law will use some dirty tricks when their daughters-in-law offer them tea, to embarrass their daughters-in-law and to sow discord between their sons and daughters-in-law.

Although, he didn't think his mother was that kind of person...but who knew what her mentality was in front of her daughter-in-law?

He had never thought about the last time he was sentenced to death.

So, there are some things that we have to guard against.

Chu Yanchen stared with burning eyes, but saw Song Mingli steadily serving the tea, and Chen Fei steadily took it and took another sip.

The Concubine Chen put down the teacup, immediately pulled Song Mingli up with a smile, and gave the exquisite and precious gold and jade headdress on the tray to her daughter-in-law.

"Come here, there are the grapefruits just delivered to the palace, the grapes from India, and the chestnuts that have just been fried in the kitchen."

"The chef in the small kitchen is very skilled. He fried the chestnuts very well. They are fragrant and sweet. You have never eaten such delicious fried chestnuts anywhere else."

Empress Chenfei took Song Mingli's hand and sat down at the round table.

On the table were yellow grapefruits, large grapes that had been washed cleanly with water droplets on them, and freshly peeled pomegranates.

Those pomegranates look like beautiful rubies, so pretty that people don't want to eat them.

Chu Yanchen frowned, a little stunned.

Nothing went wrong when serving tea... So, could mother's backup plan be these foods?

My mother shouldn't be that vicious, right?

She wouldn't poison these fruits and vegetables, would she?

Chu Yanchen's heart trembled, and before Song Mingli could thank him, he reached out and picked up the silver spoon, scooped a spoonful of pomegranate into his mouth.

Concubine Chen:......

Song Mingli: ...

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were originally talking, but when they saw his actions, they both stopped talking and stared at him blankly.

"You guys chat about your things." Chu Yanchen chewed the pomegranate in big mouthfuls.

Mmm! Sweet!

Chewing a big mouthful of pomegranate seeds will fill your mouth with pomegranate juice and give you a full sense of satisfaction.

There is no peculiar smell, so it should be... non-toxic.

The palace maid beside her peeled the pomelo and presented it to Concubine Chen.

The Concubine Chen gave it to Song Mingli without thinking.

Before Song Mingli could express his gratitude, Chu Yanchen snatched it away and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.

Hmm... the grapefruit tastes good, but I just ate pomegranate, so this grapefruit is a bit sour in comparison.

The palace maid peeled a bowl of grapes in a small and exquisite crystal bowl and inserted them with a small silver fork.

The Concubine Chen pushed it to Song Mingli.

Seeing Chu Yanchen was about to reach out to grab it again.

The Concubine Chen finally couldn't bear it anymore and reached out and slapped him hard on the back of his hand.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you always snatch Mingli's gifts?" The Empress Chen glared at him fiercely, "I finally got a daughter-in-law, and I haven't even taken good care of her yet, and you're bullying me like this?"

Chu Yanchen was still chewing a grapefruit in his mouth. He quickly swallowed it and said with a smile, "My son likes grapes the most. Mother knows that!"

The Empress Chen looked at him with disdain, gave him a small half bowl, and glared at him with a warning, "As a husband and a father, you must learn to love your wife, understand?"

"Yes, I understand, mother." He quickly took two bites of grapes.

Seeing that there was no expression unusual on my mother's face... Well, Grapes should be fine too.

Song Mingli couldn't help but lower his head and hold back his laughter.

Chu Yanchen was probably so focused on guarding against Concubine Chen trying to trip her up that she didn't listen to what Concubine Chen said at all!

Song Mingli took a silver fork, put a grape into his mouth, and she smiled with her eyes curved.

In fact, at this moment, she was no longer worried that Empress Chen would trip her up.

Because Empress Chenfei's beaming expression and the smile in her eyes were not fake at all.

The Concubine Chen was talking about how she slapped the nanny in the face last night.

"He deserves to be beaten!" The Empress Chen lowered her voice, but could not suppress the excitement in her eyes. "The man under her command said such treasonous words. Not to mention beating his face swollen, even if he is beaten to death, she has nothing to say!"

"But you didn't beat them to death with a stick, but you beat their faces until they were swollen, which is more effective!"

"Everyone in the six palaces knows about it. The faces of those two maids were swollen like pigs' heads. They cried all the way back and complained to the queen, saying that you were arrogant and domineering... They didn't mention what they said at all!"

The Concubine Chen smiled and took Song Mingli's hand.

"You did better today. You cried and showed weakness, and blocked her mouth before she got angry!"

"She should either beat those two servants to death today and give an explanation to Prince Jing's Mansion! Or she should find a way to compensate them..."

The Concubine Chen sneered, "In short, she shouldn't think about letting this matter go easily."

After Chen Fei finished speaking, she looked at Song Mingli with sparkling eyes.

She held Song Mingli's hand and said, "Do you still blame mother for what happened last time?

Song Mingli shook his head. "Don't blame me. As a mother, I can understand you. If it were me, I would probably make the same choice as you."

The Empress Chen smiled and said, "If someone else said this, I would have taken it as a polite remark."

"But I believe what Mingli said. You are not a weak woman who can be bullied. You are gentle but strong, which is good."

"In a power struggle, if you are a little soft, you may be eaten to the bone. It is best to smile on the surface but have a clear mind."

"It was mother who was impulsive earlier. Now it seems that you are the most suitable person for Chen'er."

Empress Chenfei held Song Mingli's hand and talked to him for half an hour.

The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law laughed together at the queen's stupid move and discussed the intrigues among women...they looked more like mother and daughter than mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Even Chu Yanchen was left out and was left sitting aside, eating.

He looked at his mother and Song Mingli in confusion...

These two women get along so well, are they pretending? Or are they pretending?
