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."
