Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 338
"Well, I hope so too." Emperor Xiande said.

"Your Majesty, I would like to donate 3 taels of silver to build the Yuyingtang first, do you think it is okay?" Su Wan asked.

"Wan'er really wants to donate money?" Emperor Xian De frowned, "This is not a small sum, how much money do you have in total? Don't forget, you still have nearly a hundred people to support!"

Su Wan smiled and said: "I know, so I kept some money for myself, anyway, I will earn money again. By the way, maybe I can encourage those officials and wives to donate some money to the Yuyingtang."

"Okay!" Seeing that Su Wan was firm, Emperor Xian De did not object too much. Anyway, as long as he is around, Su Wan will not be short of money, and she can let her do it if she likes it.

Su Wan was really happy, and asked again: "Your Majesty, when do you plan to hold the auction?"

"I have already asked people to start preparations, but it will be the winter solstice in a few days, and it must be very busy then, so the charity auction will at least be after the winter solstice." Emperor Xiande said.

Su Wan nodded. The winter solstice is no less important than Zhengdan. The emperor will go to the Temple of Heaven to "sacrifice to heaven", and will hold a grand court meeting to celebrate, and the people will also worship their ancestors. At that time, from the emperor's officials to the poor The common people will be very busy, and it is indeed not a good time.

"Ah, by the way, Your Majesty, I forgot to visit the Empress Dowager." Su Wan suddenly remembered this matter and said with some anxiety.

Emperor Xian De said: "It's all right, after all, I summoned you first, you are not in a hurry to leave the palace, it will not be too late to go to greet you tomorrow, if it is getting late, don't disturb the Empress Dowager."

Su Wan sighed slightly, that's all she could do for the time being, but the Empress Dowager Yu's impression of her might drop again and again.

Afterwards, Emperor Xiande was dealing with political affairs again, and Su Wan practiced calligraphy on the sidelines, thus killing the whole afternoon.

At night, Su Wan also stayed in Emperor Xian De's bedroom.

After knowing the news, the concubines were so angry that their teeth itch.

This is simply discrimination!
His Majesty has never let someone stay in his bedroom, and he still lives there directly. I am afraid that the empress does not have this kind of treatment, which is too partial!So what's so good about Mrs. Chu?
That night, I don't know how many concubines suffered from insomnia, and the next day, they all rubbed the powder thickly, not daring to let others see the slightest difference.

Emperor Xian De went to court again this day, Su Wan went to Kunning Palace to salute and greet the Empress after dressing up, and then followed the Empress to the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Now that you are in the palace, you naturally have to abide by the rules of the palace.

Su Wan entered the palace this time without bringing her maid, Emperor Xian De assigned Su Wan a few court ladies and eunuchs.

When Su Wan arrived at Kunning Palace, she saw that most of the people had already arrived, except for the fourth concubine.

When Su Wan arrived, the other concubines reluctantly stood up, who made Su Wan's status higher than them!It's just that the eyes are not very friendly.

Su Wan ignored the hostile eyes and stepped forward to salute the queen.

After seeing Su Wan, Empress Ning smiled very kindly, as if nothing had happened, and said to Su Wan: "Mrs. Chu is here, sit down quickly, how many people are still in the future!"

Su Wan looked at the seats of the two factions. There were no people in the front two seats on the left and right. There were a few people sitting in the back according to their status. Cairen and so on, the concubines with lower status don't even have a seat, they just stand respectfully in the back, the lowest concubines like ladies and servants are not even qualified to come in to pay their respects.

That Yang Cairen is also a fresh and refined beauty, she used to be just a court lady serving in the Palace of Qinzheng, but later she was favored and gave birth to the eighth prince, before she was promoted to a fifth-rank talent, and lived in the side hall of the Chuxiu Palace, And the main seat of Chuxiu Palace is Concubine Li, so she has always followed the example of Concubine Li.

In fact, Lu Jingyi has already entered the palace. The dignified uncle and daughter only waited for a sixth-rank nobleman to live in the side hall of Yikun Palace. Now that she is sick, she didn't come to pay her respects.

Except for the fourth concubine's seat, other seats were filled, but Su Wan didn't know where to sit.

Seeing that Su Wan didn't move, Empress Ning seemed to remember it suddenly, and said, "Look at me, I forgot to prepare an extra chair for Mrs. Chu. Come here and give Mrs. Chu a seat."

Two court ladies carried a chair up and put it on the lower left hand of Empress Ning. The seat was still in front of the fourth concubine. Everyone stared at Su Wan to see if she would sit down.

Su Wan smiled lightly, and after thanking her seat, she walked over and sat down calmly, without even the slightest hesitation.

Since the conflicts between her and the concubines are irreconcilable, she doesn't have to pretend to be polite to them, they can hate them if they want!
What's more, this is the seat given by the empress, if she dares to give it, why wouldn't she dare to sit on it?
After seeing Su Wan sit down, all the concubines also sat down, with shock still in their eyes, and even gloating.

They didn't believe that the fourth concubine would be able to swallow this breath when Madam Chu put her on her head!

Guo Changxi looked at Su Wan with complicated eyes. At the beginning, she was full of confidence, thinking that after entering the palace, she would definitely be favored, and even once aimed at the queen's throne.

Although she found out about Su Wan's affair with the emperor, she only gave a verbal warning. In fact, she didn't take her seriously. The only enemies she could see were the empress and the concubine Zhen. The position of the fourth concubine She even disdained it, but valued Concubine Zhen because she was the most favored person before.

How could she know that now, it was this woman who had never been seen by her, but became the biggest winner.Because she has won all the favors of His Majesty, although her status is still not as high as that of a queen, who dares to underestimate her?She has more influence on His Majesty than the Empress.

This is exactly what she wanted to achieve, but failed to achieve.

If she could be as favored by His Majesty as Su Wan, where would there be a queen at this place?
It's just a pity, with Su Wan's current status, she is doomed to only have His Majesty's favor, and cannot become a queen.

However, this is good news for her.

Her goal has never changed, it's just that she won't show off like that anymore.

Ji Jieyu, on the other hand, had no expression on her face, as if she was disheartened. She also lost a lot of weight, but the interior did not damage her appearance at all, and she became more and more refined.

At this moment, the fourth concubine finally arrived.

It was not the first time that they did not come together, but arrived almost at the same time.

In the past, Concubine Hu Guifei was the last one to come, but now, the four of them arrived almost.
