Only Jiang Xue knew that the Queen chose to stand on her side temporarily because she had something on her.

The queen was afraid that she would use the matter of Hanshi Powder to threaten her, so she did her a favor and asked her not to say anything else.

"Thank you, Queen." Although Jiang Xue did not intend to use Hanshi powder to threaten the Queen, since the other party gave her face first, she was not polite. She obeyed the Queen's words, bowed, turned around and sat down.

"The relationship between the Queen and Changle is unexpectedly good."

Emperor Beiling said a tentative word with deep meaning.

"I am just speaking the truth." The queen replied with a smile.

After all, she is a woman holding a high position in the palace. Her expression management and acting skills are first-class. In front of everyone, she interprets dignity and grace to the fullest.

Emperor Beiling couldn't find any flaws in her, so he stopped staring at her and turned his gaze to look at the beauty in his arms.

"The third day of next month is the day when Qinwen will be crowned as a consort. I have called you all here today so that you can familiarize yourself with the rules in advance. As you ladies know, Qinwen is from the country of Qian and is not very familiar with the rules of our Beiling. I hope you can be more tolerant when we get along with each other in the future." The Emperor of Beiling's hand never left Wu Meifeng's waist, and he kept stroking it while speaking.

This was really eye-irritating for the ladies present.

It's really unethical to be so indecent in broad daylight.

Everyone was cursing Wu Meifeng for being shameless in their hearts, but on the surface no one wanted to offend the new favorite concubine who was about to be promoted, so they had to force a smile and nod to agree with what Emperor Beiling said.

"Your Majesty, I am not very clear about some of the palace rules. Can I ask for your advice now?"

Wu Meifeng used her soft fingers to gently draw circles on Beiling Huang's chest, which made him feel itchy. No matter what she said, he nodded in agreement.

"Of course, anything you want."

As he said this, the fire of desire in his eyes almost burned, and his hands were also wandering over Wu Meifeng's delicate body.

Wu Meifeng suppressed her disgust towards Emperor Beiling, forced a smile and pushed his hand away, then stood up and glanced at the ladies of the prince, and finally her eyes fell on Jiang Xue with ill intent.

"After thinking about it again and again, only Princess Gong is closest to Qinwen. We are both from Qian Kingdom and married into the royal family. Qinwen thinks it is most appropriate to let Princess Gong give me guidance. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Behind the sweet tone lies a sinister calculation.

When Xiaochun and Fudong heard this, their hearts skipped a beat and they looked at Jiang Xue worriedly.

"Princess……"

"You're right. Changle and Qinwen are from the same country. It is indeed the best choice to let her give guidance." Emperor Beiling said with a laugh.

"Well, Qinwen has a question now and would like to ask Princess Gong for advice." The words of Emperor Beiling made Wu Meifeng smile even more proudly:

“The etiquette rules in Beiling Palace are very complicated. Before I was given a title, it was understandable if I made mistakes during the etiquette, but now that I have a title, if I make mistakes again, it will bring shame to the emperor.

Princess Gong has been in the palace for two years, so she must know how to salute people of high status. I saw you saluting the Queen just now, and it seemed very respectful. I wonder if Princess Gong can also salute me in full? How about just giving me a demonstration?"

Wu Meifeng dreamed of seeing Jiang Xue kneeling in front of her and kowtow to her three times and nine times.

In the past, Jiang Xue was a noble first wife, and she had always bowed to Jiang Xue; now, Wu Meifeng was going to become the Beiling Imperial Concubine, and she had to be superior and let Jiang Xue bow to her. She wanted to let Jiang Xue know who was the real master.

"How can this be possible!" Before Jiang Xue could say anything, Lu Linyi stood up with an angry look on his face and objected.

"Why not?" Wu Meifeng glanced at Lu Linyi coldly. This woman was so annoying.

"Qinwen just asked Princess Gong to demonstrate, what's wrong with that?" She widened her eyes and pressed on.

Today she wanted Jiang Xue to kneel down and kowtow to her.

"Cousin." Seeing that Lu Linyi was about to say something, Jiang Xue called out slowly and shook her head at her.

Jiang Xue slowly stood up, held her head high and looked straight at Wu Meifeng with a hint of pity in her eyes.

What a pitiful woman, she actually had to use such means to satisfy her inner vanity.

"My cousin objected out of consideration for you. You just came to Beiling and you really don't know the rules here. Since the emperor asked me to guide you, I will take this opportunity to have a good chat with you. I hope you won't make inappropriate requests in the future and make people laugh at you."

Jiang Xue glanced at the unhappy expression on Emperor Beiling's face and continued:

"In Beiling, that kind of complete etiquette is only used to worship the gods in heaven. You just asked me to use this set of etiquette to pay homage to you. May I ask if you think of yourself as a god? Or do you think your status is higher than that of the emperor, and that you need a more solemn ceremony than the emperor's to pay homage to you?"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, and Wu Meifeng turned pale instantly.

She turned to look at Emperor Beiling and found that his face had turned gloomy.

"Your Majesty, I didn't mean that. I didn't know that this ritual can only be used during sacrifices."

There was no benefit for her in angering Emperor Beiling, so she hurriedly fell on his knees, pretending to be pitiful and begging for his forgiveness.

"Forget it, ignorance is not a crime. You didn't intentionally challenge my authority. I won't blame you." Although he felt a little unhappy, he couldn't bear to blame her too much when he saw Wu Meifeng's delicate appearance.

After all, she is a new favorite, so we still have to be tolerant of her.

"Your Majesty, it's a good thing that Princess Qinwen wants to learn the rules. In my opinion, we should learn the rules step by step, starting from the basic theory. If we don't understand the basics, it's easy to make a fool of ourselves like today.

Fortunately, everyone present today is from Beiling, so everyone can understand and won't blame anyone. But if this happened when communicating with other countries or receiving envoys from other countries, it would be a huge embarrassment.

So I think that in order to prevent this from happening again, the emperor should put in some effort and find a few senior maids to teach him properly." Jiang Xue said slowly.

"Princess Changle is right, Your Majesty. A country's empress cannot be ignorant of even the most basic etiquette and rules. If this gets out, it will damage the image of the royal family." Madam Wan also echoed what I said.

Madam Wan's opinions usually represent the attitude of the Wan family. The Wan family is the family that the Beiling Emperor wants to win over, so the Beiling Emperor will naturally pay attention to Madam Wan's words.

"Well, Madam Wan is right." Emperor Beiling nodded and summoned a eunuch: "Go, pick a few experienced and respected old maids and ask them to teach the Qinwen."
