Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 234 Entering the Palace (3)
Of their two concubine sisters, one married well and the other married poorly because of their attitude towards Mrs. Lingbihou.They can see in their eyes that they won't make the same mistakes.

Su Wan's needlework is also pretty good, and she specially made a forehead wipe for Mrs. Lingbihou. The forehead was wiped with golden thread and chrysanthemum patterns on the bean green background, and it was also decorated with pearls.

Su Wan's needlework is definitely not as good as those embroiderers, but Mrs. Lingbihou likes it very much, because she values ​​Su Wan's kindness, and immediately happily asked the girl to wear it for herself.

Mrs. Yu, the eldest son's wife, looked at it carefully, and praised with a smile: "My wife looks just right when she wears it, and my cousin is really ingenious. The most rare thing is this kind of intention. I don't know which one will be cheaper in the future?"

When Su Wan heard the last sentence, although she didn't feel shy, she couldn't react at all in the presence of everyone, otherwise she would be talked about, so she could only lower her head slightly, pretending to be ashamed.

"Oh, my sister is still shy. What's there to be shy about? In this world, which woman doesn't marry? Sooner or later." Yu Shi immediately joked.

Su Wan raised her head and said, "Sister-in-law, if you say more, I will leave."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Shi Yu laughed even harder, afraid that she would be really annoyed by her thin skin, so she stopped talking.

The second grandmother, Qin Shi, smiled lightly at the side, and did not speak to make fun of her.The third grandma, Mrs. Wu, has misty eyes, looking at one thing for a while and another for a while, always looking hesitant to speak.

Qin's temperament is cold, because he is unwilling to speak, while Wu's can't get in his mouth.

The Wu family is a concubine's daughter-in-law, not the daughter-in-law chosen by Mrs. Lingbihou, and she doesn't like her either.Wu's is not a smooth-faced person, so it's only natural that he receives a cold reception.

Both Tang Lingyu and Tang Huiyu looked at Su Wan with some envy. They also wiped their wife's forehead with their own hands, but the wife's expression was indifferent, and she was not as happy as she is now. They had never seen her wear it. They didn't have a comparison partner, so they didn't think much of it, but seeing Su Wan being so favored, they still couldn't help feeling a little envious and jealous in their hearts.

If their wives treat them half as well as Cousin Wan, they will be satisfied.

While everyone was talking, a sudden order came from the Palace of Compassion and Ning, which was actually the order of the Empress Dowager Xuan Suwan to enter the palace immediately.

Everyone explained that they were both shocked and puzzled. They didn't understand how Su Wan could have anything to do with the Queen Mother in the palace.

Despite the worries in her heart, Madam Lingbihou still entertained the father-in-law who came from the Palace of Compassion and Ning to deliver the decree, and asked Su Wan to change clothes and enter the palace as soon as possible.

Regarding this matter, Su Wan has been looking forward to it for a long time, but seeing Madam Lingbihou's worry, it is hard to persuade her. However, they should know about it soon, so they went to Baoxia to change clothes and dress up .

After Su Wan came out again, she had already changed into a goose-yellow satin peony embroidered round neck beige, a pink pleated skirt embroidered with folded peony branches, and her hair was half-caged in a bun like a dark cloud, with red gold dots of emerald green. Bu Yao, red gold bead hairpin, red gold inlaid ruby ​​​​butterfly hairpin, pink palace flowers, and golden jade earrings with jade rabbit pounding medicine patterns on the ears. Originally beautiful and graceful, it is now more solemn and rich. , but it doesn't look gaudy, it's radiant and graceful, and it can be called a beautiful and heavenly fragrance.

The eunuchs who came out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning have seen Guo Changxi's beauty. In their opinion, there is no beauty better than Guo Changxi who can be described as a beautiful peony. But after seeing Su Wan, they feel that she is no better than Guo Changxi. What Guo Meiren checked, if Guo Changxi is Wei Zi, then Su Wan is Yao Huang.

"Since Miss Su has already dressed up, let's go with our family. Don't make the queen mother wait." Eunuch Wei from the Palace of Compassionate Ning said with a smile.He came here specially to pick up Su Wan this time, but he didn't need to ask the Lingbi Hou Mansion to prepare a carriage.

Eunuch Wei's words made everyone who was a bit distracted come back to their senses. Madam Lingbihou told Su Wan: "In this case, then sister Wan, you can go into the palace with Eunuch Wei! Remember to be cautious in your words and deeds. Don't offend the nobleman, let alone be rude in front of the empress dowager."

Su Wanfu should be.

Seeing that Su Wan agreed, Madam Lingbihou said to Eunuch Wei again: "My niece has just arrived in the capital, and I don't know much about the rules in the palace. I hope Eunuch can remind me a little bit."

"Ma'am, don't worry, it's easy for our family." Eunuch Wei said with a smile when he heard that Mrs. Lingbihou had received a lot of money just now.

Even if Mrs. Lingbihou didn't say anything, he would mention one or two points, and she must not be allowed to offend the empress dowager.

"Auntie, then I'm leaving." Su Wan said to Madam Lingbihou when she was leaving.

Madam Lingbihou nodded. Although it can be seen from Eunuch Wei's attitude that the Queen Mother has no malice towards Su Wan, she is still not at ease. Although there is a smile on her face, there is still a trace of worry .

After Su Wan left, Madam Lingbihou sighed softly and said, "I don't know whether Wan'er's entry into the palace is a blessing or a curse. I just hope that he can come back safely."

"Ma'am, my cousin is auspicious, she will be fine." Shizi's wife Yu said.

"I hope!" After Madam Lingbihou finished speaking, she felt a little tired and made everyone retreat.

Su Wan has entered the palace twice, but she is familiar with the way. Compared with the nervousness of the previous two times, her mood is much calmer now. However, thinking of Emperor Xiande, her heart can't help but tighten a little. After Emperor Xian De left, they haven't seen each other for almost two months, and they don't know what happened to him...

She knew all these things that Emperor Xian De had done for her, and she was very grateful to her. As a result, it made her somewhat at a loss as to how to face him.

Before entering the palace, Eunuch Wei suggested a few things to Su Wan, such as how to salute, how to speak, etc., at least so that Su Wan would not be too rude.

Su Wan thanked him.

After entering the palace, Eunuch Wei stopped talking to Su Wan, and his expression became more serious. Su Wan also held his breath, cheered up, and stopped thinking about it.

After entering the Compassionate Ning Palace, Eunuch Wei took Su Wan to wait on the platform of the main hall and waited for someone to report before he was able to enter.

However, this time the Empress Dowager did not meet her in the open room of the main hall, but in her daily rest room.

Hardwood fans are installed between the Mingjian and the East and West rooms to separate the hall of the Ming room from the news place. The East room and the East room are places for daily rest and activities. Flower covers are placed between them, and the middle is empty for communication. , The west room and the west room are bedrooms and daily living places.

Between the rear eaves and pillars in the east, there is an octagonal cover of rosewood, and curtains are hung inside, forming a hidden space, which is placed on the shore indoors.

In the Dongci room where Su Wan was received, there was a kang by the south window, and an arhat couch on the opposite wall. At this time, the Empress Dowager Yu closed her eyes and leaned on it, and several maids stood aside breathlessly, At the same time, there were two court ladies, one was rubbing her temples, and the other was sitting on the footrest and beating her legs.
