She helplessly looked at Dongfang Ziqing, then looked at the green duckweed that was continuously kowtowing on the ground. She could only obey her master's orders.

One had to know, she had really done many things like this. Whenever her master wanted to make fun of someone, he would always scare them until they kneeled down and beg for mercy. As a loyal servant girl, she could only show her face and be a good person.

"Sister Lu Ping, quickly get up! It's very cold on the ground. If you get cold, Miss will blame herself. " After helping Lu Ping up, Pearl patted her skirt that had no dirt on it and explained, "Young Miss really likes to tease people, but her heart is kind and tight. At most, she likes to tease people, but she doesn't really make things difficult for them. Once you get to know the little miss, you will naturally find out. "

After reciting those words, Pearl flashed back to Dong Fang Zi Qing's side. She felt helpless when she saw Dong Fang Zi Qing nodding her head.

With Miss's personality, if she was the sole concubine within the imperial harem, it would be fine to have the emperor's favor. However, ever since the Ancient Emperor had taken on the seventy-two concubines of the Three Palaces, Six Houses, and Six Academies, how long could he last alone?

If the emperor's favor was no more and the young miss did not like to play around, then she would suffer a great loss!

It was no wonder that the old master was so worried when the title of young lady was given as the imperial decree of the empress. Even she, his personal servant, couldn't help but be worried!

Sighing silently, Pearl looked down at the tip of her shoes and suddenly remembered the reason she came back. She quickly said to Dongfang Ziqing who had a funny expression: "Miss, the Eldest Young Master came to the palace! "Do you want to …" Go and see.

Before Pearl could finish her words, Dongfang Ziqing abruptly stood up in surprise, shaking her head violently. Big Brother is here, why didn't you say so earlier? " With that, Dongfang Ziqing walked out, but she stopped right before she reached the door.

"Eldest Young Master is in the Imperial study." Without waiting for Dong Fang Zi Qing to speak, Pearl answered as if she was trying to answer.

"Smart." She gave Pearl a thumbs up, causing Dongfang Ziqing's body to sway. Her figure had already disappeared from the door. Those who didn't know about her would think that she had practiced martial arts!

Seeing that her young mistress was so skilled, Pearl could only sigh.

If her young mistress had matured as fast as a flash, the old master and his wife would definitely be moved to tears. At least, she would cry.

"I'll follow Miss over to take a look." Lifting up her skirt, Pearl's fat body ran forward like a ball. However, her actions were very fast and nimble, unlike a fat man. As he ran, he shouted, "Miss, wait for me!"

Lu Ping stood there speechlessly, looking at the figures of Dongfang Ziqing and Pearl running out one after the other. She didn't know whether she should follow them or not. She was a palace maid who came to the Yi Palace. Logically speaking, she should be by the empress's side and not move an inch away from her. But the empress didn't seem to need her!

"Ugh …" That's not the point! The point is, like this … Cute and straightforward master, how would she serve him?

Thinking of the mission given by her aunt, three black lines appeared on Lu Ping's forehead. Teaching rules to the empress dowager's palace wasn't something a little girl like her could do!

She was only dressing the empress. She'd already lost half her life from fright. If it were the imperial harem rules and etiquette, would she still be alive to answer her orders?

She rushed to the royal study in a hurry and barged in without being notified. When she saw that Dong Fang Zihan was standing in the middle of the floor, she hurriedly ran forward and hugged Dong Fang Zihan. She then said with a smile while panting heavily: "Big brother treats Qing'er the best, I know Qing'er misses big brother and came to visit Qing'er."

"Silly girl, you've already become a queen, and yet you're still acting so rashly." Dong Fang Zi Han reprimanded her slightly, but the way she caressed Dong Fang Zi Qing's head was extremely gentle.

"Did big brother come to the palace just to teach Qing Er a lesson?" She raised her head, and Dongfang Ziqing began to act coquettishly.

"Qing Er, you're already married. Even if big brother is your brother, you can't act this coquettishly anymore, do you understand?" Holding Dongfang Zihan's shoulder, Dongfang Zihan helplessly said.

Why?" Dongfang Ziqing was confused. "My big brother is my big brother. Even if Qing'er marries, my big brother is still Qing'er's big brother!

Could it be that because of her marriage, she couldn't even become Dongfang Ziqing?

"Qing Er, when will you grow up!?" While speaking with a sigh, Dongfang Zihan truly didn't know how to explain it to Dongfang Ziqing.

His beloved little sister had gotten married, but he was also hoping on his own that everything would be the same as it was before Dongfang Ziqing's marriage. But she was married to the Emperor, so she had to worry about some things.

The harem was not as simple as it usually was. The intimate actions that a relative should have might even attract rumors in the outside world. The lightest would be talking and making people speculate; the most serious would be taking people's lives, even their entire family or nine generations of families!

Taking a step back, Dongfang Zihan kneeled down on one knee, and a loud and clear voice came out of his mouth. Your subject, Dongfang Zihan, pays his respects to the Empress. "

"Big brother …" She was momentarily unable to accept her brother's sudden unfamiliarity. Dongfang Ziqing looked at Dongfang Zihan somewhat blankly, but she could not get his response. She could only surrender her gaze to Xuanyuan Chenmo and hope that he could give her an explanation.

"Qing Er, since you're the empress, under the heavens, besides me, anyone who sees you must pay their respects." Knowing what Dongfang Zihan meant, Xuanyuan Chen Mo told him the truth.

"Even... My parents want to pay their respects to me too? " Even though they had been in and out of the palace frequently since they were young, since the only master in the palace was Xuanyuan Chen Mo, Dongfang Ziqing had never bowed to anyone before so she naturally did not know of the rules.

"Yes." Without any hesitation, Xuanyuan Chen Mo answered with a nod of his head.

"But …" They are Qing'er's parents and brothers! " How could she accept such a gift from her parents?

"Qing Er …" Xuanyuan Chen Mo shook his head helplessly. He knew Dongfang Ziqing could not accept such a thing and could not help but frown. After thinking about it for a moment, Xuanyuan Chen Mo said in a compromise, "Qing Er, if you can't get used to it, then I will. Then, when no one else is around, your family will not have to bow to you, how about it? "

"But …" What if there were outsiders?

Without waiting for Dongfang Ziqing to speak, he heard Dongfang Zihan say: "This subject thanks the Emperor on behalf of my parents." Saying that, he bowed.

"Daughter." Extending his long arm, Xuanyuan Chen Mo Emperor spoke in an imposing manner.

Dongfang Ziqing stood silently by the side, watching the two men's' conversation '. She was at a loss.

Had she been ignoring something?

"Qing Er, come here." He waved at Dongfang Ziqing. When Dongfang Ziqing had walked over, Xuanyuan Chen Mo took her hand and said lightly: "Don't you want to know why your brother has come to the palace?"

Dongfang Ziqing gently shook her head as she looked at Dongfang Zihan who had her head lowered. She still did not make a sound.

Your brother has a woman he likes. He has come to report his intentions to me, and he requests me to be the one to grant him the marriage." As he spoke with a chuckle, Xuanyuan Chen Mo held onto Dongfang Ziqing's hand and unconsciously exerted a little strength, a chilling glint appearing in his eyes.
