Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 154 Pregnancy (1)
Just after Yang Yong finished speaking, he suddenly saw Emperor Xian De seemed to heave a sigh of relief.Yang Yong was dumbfounded, and blinked his eyes unconfidently. Just now...he must have been dazzled, right?

Mrs. Changwuhou was unable to conceive, why does His Majesty look relieved? Why?Could it be that he was wrong, His Majesty doesn't like Mrs. Marquis Changwu at all?
He wanted to observe again, but found that Emperor Xiande's expression had returned to normal, and he seemed to be inexplicably happy, only to hear Emperor Xiande sigh insincerely: "That's really a pity."

Yang Yong had a smile on his face, but he couldn't understand what His Majesty was regretting.Your Majesty only has one son-in-law, doesn't it mean that His Majesty doesn't want Marquis Changwu to surpass himself in the number of sons-in-law?This is too boring.

At this moment, a young eunuch came in and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, Guo Meiren is asking to see you outside the door."

Yang Yong originally thought that Emperor Xiande would definitely let her in. After all, if His Majesty liked someone, he would be infinitely tolerant. I don't know how many concubines who favored him before, had this kind of courtesy, but unfortunately, their favor did not last long.It's the concubine Zhen, who is no longer the same as before.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Xian De just narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "Let her go back, this is not where she should come!"

The little eunuch was slightly taken aback, apparently he did not expect His Majesty to let Guo Meiren go back.You know, Guo Meiren's appearance can't help being dazzled by people like them without roots. Some people even bet that Guo Meiren will be favored for a longer time than Zhenfei. Unexpectedly, so soon He was slapped in the face.

The little eunuch wanted to return to his thoughts, but his reaction was not slow, he bowed his body and retreated slowly.

He went down the steps, walked through the courtyard in front of the Qinzheng Hall, and outside the Qinzheng Gate, he saw a magnificent beauty standing outside the door, followed by a group of court ladies and eunuchs. With a small food box.

Guo Changxi was dressed in a gorgeous palace attire, and after some careful grooming, her demeanor became more graceful and luxurious, and even the eyebrows were a little more charming than before, making her more and more amazingly beautiful and her demeanor.

As soon as the little eunuch saw Guo Changxi, he put on a polite and respectful smile on his face, but lost the enthusiasm just now, and said: "Guo Meiren, please go back, Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, I'm afraid I don't have time." Meet Guo Meiren."

Guo Changxi frowned lightly, but she couldn't help exuding a majesty, and said, "You didn't lie to me?"

She didn't expect that she would be rejected at all, she knew His Majesty's habits, why were all the favorite concubines allowed in before, but she was the only one who couldn't?It must be that the little eunuch saw that the reward he gave was small, so he deliberately did not report it to her.

"How courageous is this servant to deceive the empress?" The little eunuch smiled apologetically.

Guo Changxi turned her face slightly to look at a court lady behind her. The court lady understood and handed over a bulging purse. Although the little eunuch was greedy, she pushed it back and said, "You don't need to be like this, Your Majesty is I really don't have time to see you, you should find a chance to come again next time!"

At this point, Guo Changxi also knew that Emperor Xiande really didn't want to see her anymore, although she was unwilling, she could only accept it helplessly, she only hoped that His Majesty was really busy and not avoiding her.The Jedi, she believed, were not the latter.

Because His Majesty likes her so much, it is impossible to deliberately embarrass her.

"Since that's the case, then eunuch will pass this bowl of duck porridge to the emperor for me!"

As soon as Guo Changxi finished speaking, the court lady who took the food box stepped forward and handed the food box to the little eunuch, and said to him: "Elder-in-law, this porridge was made by our mother, you must hand it over to Your Majesty." Come on, this is the whole heart of your majesty for His Majesty, and it must not be wasted." After speaking, he quietly handed the little eunuch a purse.

This time, the little eunuch didn't continue to decline, but accepted it with a smile.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the servants will deliver the porridge to His Majesty with their own hands." The little eunuch promised.

Guo Changxi nodded, took another deep look at the gate of Qinzheng Palace, and then led the people away helplessly.

The little eunuch carried the food box into the Hall of Qinzheng again, and reported the matter to Emperor Xiande who had already sat back on the throne to review the memorial.

Emperor Xian De said without raising his head: "I know, I will reward you with this bowl of porridge!"

"Yes, servant girl, thank Your Majesty for your kindness." The little eunuch said happily.

This is a common practice. Emperor Xiande never ate the food brought by those concubines, so most of these things went into their stomachs. Unfortunately, those concubines didn't know it at all, and they happily gave all kinds of food to them. Everything that can be eaten is cheaper for them in the end.

Time passed quickly, and it was the day when Su Wan would be the host and entertain the guests.

On this day, it happened to be sunny and sunny, and the gates of Changwuhou's mansion and the gate of ceremonies were opened wide to welcome the ladies.

It was Su Wan's first time hosting such a banquet, and there was no one else to ask or ask for advice. It was impossible for Mrs. Tai to teach her, and she didn't want to ask Aunt Wang to make her proud.Fortunately, Mrs. Chen, the wife of Dingyuan Hou Shizi, knew about Su Wan's distress, so she specially sent a nanny to tell her where to start the banquet, and the things to pay attention to. Su Wan now had a clue, and she felt sorry for Chen Yaqin. She was extremely grateful for her thoughtfulness and carefulness. With Chen's guidance, Su Wan finally finished the preparations for the banquet after stumbling.

Aunt Wang was still waiting to see Su Wan's jokes, or to ask her for advice, but she didn't expect that although Su Wan was a little flustered at the beginning, she did it in an orderly manner, and there was no big mistake, she couldn't help but secretly gritted her teeth behind her back .

The reason why Su Wan would book a banquet outside and try not to bother the people in the Hou's mansion is because they are afraid that the people in the Hou's mansion will secretly trip her up and make her look ugly. This is not impossible.

After all, if Su Wan made a fool of herself in front of all the wives, it would be difficult to hire someone in the future. This is secondary. The most important thing is that Su Wan's reputation in the future will definitely not be good. It was buckled on Su Wan's head.When the banquet was in chaos, and Aunt Wang stepped forward to quell the chaos, then everyone would naturally understand Aunt Wang's presiding over the middle donation, who made the mistress of Changwuhou's mansion incompetent!

Although it is said that after Su Wan made a fool of himself, the Marquis of Changwu also made a fool of himself, but it is harmless, and he can even make a name for Aunt Wang. For Aunt Wang, this is definitely a good thing that has more advantages than disadvantages, so Su Wan has to guard against it.

Aunt Wang did have this plan, she just waited for Su Wan to make a fool of herself, and then went to clean up the mess herself!

After Su Wan sent out the invitation, the edicts from Marquis of Dingyuan, Marquis of Huining, Marquis of Xuanning, Uncle Zhong all replied that they would definitely come, while the wives of Marquis Chengyang and Uncle Yongxin were unable to attend because of something Of course, Mrs. Yongshun, who is the queen mother's natal family, did not come either.
