Chapter 6 Tea Ceremony

Hercules Qin looked terrible. He had informed Sandy Shen that Emma Liu and her had equal rights after Hercules married Emma. It seemed that Sandy had forgotten he reminds. The woman matchmaker broke the deadlock, arranging to continue the wedding ceremony. Sandy sat aside to watch them. According to the convention, the concubine should offer tea to the first wife after the ceremony. The maidservant beside had already prepared the tea. The woman matchmaker spoke up: "tea ceremony." Emma, carrying a cup of tea, was timid to step forward. "What's the matter with you?" Sandy smirked. Emma bit her lips gently, terrifying by Sandy's domineering. "Pass the ceremony," Hercules stopped. "Why? Or do you want to change all the rules for her? I think she is not a concubine, if so, and she should be the first wife. " Stellan Lian tucked in his hands, standing behind the crowd, and spoke gently: "Maybe the princess was not talented, but it's the Emperor's order to marry you. I think it's reasonable for a concubine to kneel for tea ceremony." The crowd echoed. Though General spoiled Emma, Emma had to follow the practice. Emma took a comforting look at Hercules, "General, it's ok. It's my duty." Emma didn't kneel for the first time; now, she had to do it. However, before Emma reached for the teacup, Sandy took it. Emma was stunned. Sandy dropped the tea on the ground. The cup was broken and splashed all over the floor, making a crisp sound. "Now kneel," Sandy ordered, pointing to pieces of porcelain. "Bring another teacup for the ceremony." All the guests were dumbfounded. When did the fool princess become so powerful, even when she was niggling? "Sandy, don't force her too much!" Hercules persuaded. "General, please call me Princess Jane." Emma kept a pale face, with tears in her eyes, "why do you humiliate me here, Princess Jane?" "Take it or go to die. There is an ice hole in West Street, so you can drown yourself there. Or there is an old tree at the market, hang yourself. That was just what you have told me before." Emma's eyes widened with horror. The guests whispered, "The princess is too aggressive!" Stellan added the fire on the condition: "I can't believe that Emma said this to the princess. How could a concubine say such words to a princess?" Stellan added, "I heard that Princess Jane was homeless with her disfigured face, almost freezing to death." The guests were shocked, "Is that real? She is not smart! How could they drive a fool out of her home?" Stellan signed, "Yes, she is just a princess of the former dynasty, but I don't think she should be treated unfairly. General, you are partial to Emma, but treat your wife such terribly." The crowd agreed, "Yes, the princess is poor." "And I also heard that," Stallen paused, smiling tenderly. The people widened eyes to the unknown 'surprises.' Someone asked, "What else?" "someone sent the princess to the clinic; she was told that she is pregnant." The crowd burst into an uproar, "she drove the pregnant princess away? What a vicious woman she is!"
