Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 256 Mrs. Chu (2)
Aware of the stiffness of the person in his arms, Emperor Xiande stroked Su Wan's back comfortingly, and smiled at the queen mother: "The queen mother is getting old, there must be many things that are not well thought out, so I really don't want to let the stepmother Worrying so much, she made decisions for her mother without authorization. Miss Wan'er did her best to treat her mother's illness and never slacked off. Thanks to Wan'er, the queen mother can sit here with energy. In my opinion, how can I reward her with just a little bit? She doesn't exaggerate, presumably the queen mother also thinks so."

When the Empress Dowager Yu heard this, her face turned blue and white.

He has said so, can she still deny it?Otherwise, wouldn't everyone say that she, the Queen Mother, has avenged her kindness.What's more, she also saw that Emperor Xiande would no longer compromise, so if she continued to insist, she would be making fun of herself and making Emperor Xiande unhappy.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager Yu hooked her lips reluctantly and said, "What your Majesty said is true, it's true that Ai's family didn't think carefully."

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was subdued, all the concubines couldn't help worrying secretly, wondering how His Majesty would reward her?
However, there are also very optimistic people who think that as long as His Majesty does not take her into the palace, it doesn't matter how you reward her, but they seem very calm.

Only then did Emperor Xian De nod his head, and said, "Thank you, Empress Mother, for understanding my minister's painstaking efforts."

After a pause, he looked around at the crowd and said, "I have decided to make Miss Su the wife of Chu, and give her a mansion, one hundred taels of gold, one thousand taels of silver, ten households of official slaves, and one hundred hectares of fertile land."

Before Emperor Xian De could finish his words, everyone was in an uproar, both shocked and angry, and the eyes that looked at Su Wan almost burst into flames.

Other rewards don't matter, they are just incidental, the title of "Mrs. Guo" is really too much.

You know, "Ms. Guo" is the highest title for a foreign-born woman, and the first-ranked foreign-born woman is the first rank, which is equal to the rank of the four concubines.

In addition to the wife and mother of the duke of the country, who can get the title of Mrs. Guo, there are also the wives of first-class civil servants and military officials who have made great achievements. This kind of situation is especially favored by His Majesty, but these two situations are extremely rare.

Su Wan just took care of the Empress Dowager's body for a month, how could she be named "Mrs. Guo"?
Even Su Wan looked at Emperor Xiande in disbelief.

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath and reprimanded directly: "Emperor, you are too nonsense, this matter must not be done!"

"Why not? I still feel that the reward is too light?" Emperor Xian De said indifferently, and then he looked down at Su Wan who was stunned, and asked with a smile: "Madam, are you satisfied with my reward to you?" ?”

Before Su Wan could answer, she was interrupted by the Empress Dowager Yu. She stood up from the throne and reiterated again: "Emperor, you are not in compliance with the rules. Mrs. Guo is the head of the wives, how can you be kidding?"

Emperor Xian De said: "It's just a title, and it doesn't have any real power, why should the empress be so nervous? Could it be that the empress thinks that her body is not as good as the title of a first-rank lady?"

Empress Dowager Yu was too angry to speak, how can this be compared?

Emperor Xiande continued: "Miss Su was born in Guide Mansion, Henan. Historically, Henan used to belong to Wei, South Korea, Chu, Wei and other vassal states. I see that Madam has both good looks and good looks, is virtuous and virtuous, and has noble medical ethics. , Chu Chu is extraordinary, so I gave her the word 'Chu', wouldn't it be just right?"

In fact, Emperor Xiande wanted to say that Su Wan was charming, but it was too frivolous to say it, it was not suitable to say it at this time, so he changed his words.

At this time, Empress Ning couldn't sit still any longer, she took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with the Queen Mother's opinion. Although I am also grateful to Miss Su, it is too much to confer the title of Mrs. The reputation of His Majesty and the royal family is in the way. Since His Majesty likes this Sister Su so much, why not bring her into the palace and get along with her day and night, wouldn't it be better? Why do you have to let Sister Su out of the palace? Your Majesty, please think twice."

After finishing speaking, he knelt down directly and knelt down on the ground.

Now that the queen knelt down, the other concubines also knelt down one after another, saying in unison: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Su Wan also came back to her senses at this time, and hastily left Emperor Xiande's arms, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this reward is too heavy, and a girl can't bear it, please take it back."

Hearing that Su Wan also refused, the Empress Dowager Yu's face softened a bit, she knew that the other party was a person who knew the times, and said to Emperor Xiande: "Emperor, even Miss Su refused, why do you insist on going your own way, or take back your order Bar?"

Emperor Xiande's expression did not change when he heard the words, and he said calmly: "I have always said what I say, and there is no reason to take back what I have said. Moreover, I have even drawn up the will, so it is useless for you to say anything."

After a pause, he looked around the crowd coldly again, and said with a sneer, "I don't know who I want to reward, and I still need your consent. You are too lenient. Empress, are you determined to stop me?" gone?"

Before the empress could speak, Emperor Xiande looked at the fourth concubine again and said: "Concubine Hu Gui, do you also want to stop me from making her my wife?"

Concubine Hu Gui, who was named, bit her bullet and said: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the etiquette. It's just like what the Empress said, if Your Majesty really likes Sister Su, why not take her into the palace, wouldn't it be better to be with her for a long time? "

Emperor Xian De said calmly: "Since you all like to make decisions for me so much, then according to you, what position should I give her?"

Concubine Hu Gui's scalp is numb. In fact, she would rather let Su Wan stay outside the palace than let her enter the palace. She has been trying every means to prevent Su Wan from entering the palace. She never thought that now, she would be forced to ask the emperor to admit Su Wan. palace.

In fact, it doesn't matter if His Majesty makes her his wife. As long as she doesn't enter the palace, she is not a formal concubine. out of mind out of mind.

It's all the queen's fault. After saying those words, they can only follow.

Of course, in her heart she couldn't see that the emperor loved Su Wan so much, so she wanted to stop him, and hoped that His Majesty would change his mind.

Although Concubine Hu Gui wanted to confer on Su Wan as a small servant, but she knew that she would anger Emperor Xiande if she said so, so she bit the bullet and said, "Why don't you confer on a nobleman?"

The nobleman is the sixth rank, which is one rank higher than the selected attendant. His Majesty should agree, right?
"Nobleman?" Emperor Xiande sneered, with a hint of teasing in his voice, he looked at Concubine Hu Gui who was kneeling on the ground and said: "From a lady of the first rank to a nobleman of the sixth rank, thanks to you, you can tell. Is the position of imperial concubine more appropriate?"
