Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 245 Concubine Xian (2)
Su Wan didn't appreciate this. After having lunch with the Queen Mother, Su Wan returned to her residence. As soon as the door closed, her face showed obvious fatigue.

Dining with the queen mother may be an honor to many people, but to her, it is like a punishment. She doesn't serve food very much, and when the queen mother asks a question, she has to put down her chopsticks and answer respectfully, Moreover, I was afraid that I would answer wrongly, and I would have to cheer up, and dare not relax in the slightest. After coping with it, I would feel very tired both physically and mentally.

Han Lu had already prepared snacks and hot tea, Su Wan used some and began to take a nap.

After resting for more than half an hour, I felt that I had recovered a little.

However, just after Su Wan dressed up, she received a reward from Emperor Xian De's order.

Of course, under the banner of Su Wan treating the Empress Dowager, apart from some jewellery, there were also ten pieces of satin, a pair of Ruyi jade, cakes, tea leaves, and some preserved fruits. Su Wan thanked her on her knees to accept the reward.

When the women in the harem heard the news, they couldn't help being jealous and inquisitive again, wishing they could come over and see what kind of charmer Su Wan was, to be so favored by the emperor.

However, the thing that made them jealous was still to come. For several days, Emperor Xiande went to the Compassionate Ning Palace to meet Su Wan, either in the morning, in the afternoon, or even in the evening once. This made Sifei and the others unable to sit still.

The emperor left a huge harem alone, but favored an unknown woman. Didn't this slap all the concubines in the face?Could it be that there are so many of them, but they are not as good as her alone?
They would like to see what kind of beauty that vixen has, which fascinates His Majesty so fascinated.

Among them, only Guo Meiren had seen Su Wan. They wanted to ask Guo Meiren to come out to ask questions, but after Guo Meiren came back from the Compassionate Ning Palace that day, she said she was sick and would not stay at home. He also shied away, although Concubine De was dissatisfied with her, but seeing the Empress Dowager, she didn't dare to really do anything to her, but she became more and more curious about Su Wan in her heart.

This morning, when all the concubines went to Kunning Palace to greet the Empress, Concubine Zhou De said: "Empress, this concubine suddenly thought of something, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Empress Ning was sitting on the throne with a peaceful expression. Hearing this, she smiled slightly and said, "If you have anything to say, my sister will just say it."

Concubine Zhou De has a gentle appearance and a good voice. She is not as beautiful as Guo Changxi, but it makes people feel very comfortable, peaceful, and very friendly. When she heard what the queen said, she smiled and said: " The concubine said it directly. I suddenly remembered that it seemed that we hadn't gone to greet the empress dowager for a long time. I heard that the empress dowager invited a goddess doctor, and her medical skills were quite good. After a few days of treatment, the empress dowager, The condition has improved slightly. Therefore, the concubine thought, should I go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to say hello to the Empress Dowager, and thank the goddess doctor by the way?"

Concubine Sun Shu has a dignified appearance and elegant temperament, and her every move shows her good upbringing. Hearing what Concubine Zhou De said, she couldn't help but nodded and said: "Sister De Concubine is very right. Since the Empress Dowager's health has improved a lot, we should really go to The Compassionate Ning Palace pays a visit to the Empress Dowager, otherwise, wouldn't it appear that we are not filial?"

Concubine Zhen did not refute them when she heard the words, and said: "The two sisters are right, if the Queen Mother's condition improves and we don't go to visit, what will His Majesty think of us?"

The other concubines also responded one after another.

Empress Ning was very clear about their thoughts, knowing that it was a lie that they went to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, and it was true to see the true face of the goddess doctor.But she actually wanted to meet that goddess doctor and see what kind of person she was.After all, it is not the same thing for His Majesty to leave such a huge harem alone and go to her place every day.

If she had a good temperament, she might be able to take the initiative to mention it to the emperor and bring her into the palace.

But if she is uneasy, she will have to think carefully about entering the palace.

Although Empress Ning made up her mind to pay attention, she still said to Concubine Hu Guifei who was the first on the left: "What do you think, sister Guifei?"

Concubine Hu Guifei is less than 30 years old, her appearance is very beautiful, her pair of red phoenix eyes are extremely majestic, and she also has a noble atmosphere exuding from her bones, she looks more like a queen than a queen.

She was born in the Duke's Mansion of Liguo, and she also gave birth to the eldest prince, even the Empress Empress, she had to be given three points.

Now that the empress's health is getting worse and worse, and the power in her hands has been divided, Concubine Hu Guifei has appeared. The maids and eunuchs below are more in awe of Concubine Hu Guifei than Queen Ning, and they execute her orders even more than the queen thorough.

Even now, Empress Ning is still actively asking for her opinion. From this, it can be seen that Concubine Hu Gui's status in the palace is absolutely extraordinary.

Concubine Hu Gui couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard the words, and said lightly: "The empress is the lord of the six palaces, ask me what my concubine does?"

Empress Ning heard the words, a haze flashed in her eyes quickly, but the smile on her face remained unchanged, and she said: "Your concubine is wrong, now, the four younger sisters are helping me to take care of the harem, of course I can no longer be like before. If you want to be arbitrary and authoritarian like that, at least you have to ask the four younger sisters what they think?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Hu Gui glanced at Empress Ning and said, "Since everyone agrees, I have no objections."

Empress Ning smiled slightly, suppressed the anger in her heart, and asked Concubine Xian: "What's the opinion of Concubine Xian?"

Among the four concubines, Concubine Xian is the most unashamed one, who made her childless!Therefore, if she wants to discuss something, she basically does not express any opinions.

"The elder sisters are the ones to decide." Concubine Xian said softly.

After the matter was decided, Empress Ning took all the concubines to the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager Yu had just had breakfast, and when she heard that the Empress had led all the concubines to pay her respects, she frowned, but then relaxed.

Now she feels lighter physically and mentally better than before. Anyway, she's fine, and it's good to talk to people.

Even if those concubines fought back and forth, they couldn't hurt her, so they were invited in as if they were watching a play.

Empress Dowager Yu also went to the Mingjian main hall and sat on the throne above.

After the queen and others came in, she bowed to the queen mother, who asked them to get up and gave them seats.

After Empress Ning sat down, she said with a smile: "The queen mother looks good today, but her health is better? The concubine didn't dare to disturb the queen's rest, but the concubine heard that the queen's health seemed to have improved a lot, so she On my own initiative, I brought all the younger sisters to pay my respects to my mother, and I also asked my mother not to blame her."
