Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 353 Counterattack (3)
Mrs. Liu nodded and said: "The empress is very reasonable, the harem is indeed not allowed to interfere in politics."

The smile on Empress Ning's face became more and more real.

However, Mrs. Liu said again: "It's just that, as the proposer of the establishment of the Yuying Hall, the empress, if she didn't have a constitution in mind, how would she persuade Your Majesty?"

Establishing a nursery hall is not a trivial matter, and she does not believe that His Majesty will easily agree to it just by listening to the queen's casual mention.

When Empress Ning heard this, the smile on her face could not be maintained anymore, she forced a smile and said: "Your Majesty has the world in mind, even if I don't need to say more, Your Majesty will agree."

Mrs. Liu nodded with a smile, and said, "Your Majesty is indeed wise."

After finishing speaking, Madam Liu looked at Su Wan again, and said, "Madam Chu, do you have any good suggestions?"

Su Wan couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

Although the first assistant's wife did not raise any doubts, her behavior was actually considered a temptation.

If other people came to do this, the queen would have a way to refute it, but unfortunately, she alone could not ignore Mrs. Liu's words.

Su Wan didn't look at Empress Ning's piercing eyes, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to say good suggestions, I just have some simple thoughts. Ladies, please don't laugh at me."

Madam Liu's eyes lit up, and she said, "Madam Chu, please tell me, we will listen with all our ears."

Su Wan nodded slightly, and repeated the rules she listed.

For example, what is foster care, what is foster care, what is self-support, and the treatment of children, as well as sending officials for inspection, follow-up investigation, property transparency, etc.

After Su Wan's explanation, everyone immediately had a clear outline of the Yuyingtang, and knew where their money was going to be spent, so they all nodded involuntarily. Unlike before, the concept of the Yuyingtang was so vague, and, The regulations Mrs. Chu said are also very detailed, rigorous, and very convincing, and she can also feel her full sincerity, so she must have put a lot of thought into it.

Compared with the queen's vague words before, it was completely different. Everyone knew what was going on.

Empress Ning was trembling with anger. Although no one said that she took the credit of Mrs. Chu, even Su Wan herself did not admit it, but it is obvious that most people have begun to believe in Mrs. She leans.

The appearance of Empress Ning threateningly ordering Su Wan just now is still vivid in everyone's memory, but now it looks like a threat, which makes many people's impression of Empress Ning greatly discounted.

Concubine Hu Gui felt very happy when she saw this, and she didn't want to make trouble anymore, as long as everyone knows what's going on, it's not good to push the queen into a hurry.

She just doesn't like the queen. Compared with Su Wan, she hates the queen more. After all, the queen is her life and death enemy.

After that, everyone's attitude towards Su Wan changed significantly.Not only did the prejudice against her disappear, many people even felt a little bit of admiration for her, and they intended to make friends with Su Wan, and their words became a lot more real, and they were no longer purely respectful and polite.

After the banquet was over, Su Wan didn't stay longer in the palace and left the palace soon.Thinking of the empress's cloud-covered, gloomy face at that time, Su Wan felt very happy in her heart.

The harvest of entering the palace this time was unexpected.Although it seemed that there was no real blow to the queen, in fact, everyone had great doubts about the character of the queen. The reputation of the queen was shaky, and she was no longer convincing.

If the queen snatches the credit and brazenly threatens Mrs. Chu and spreads the news, it will definitely be a huge blow to the queen's reputation.

The next day, in the capital, there was indeed news about the empress stealing meritorious service.

It's a pity that at this time, the image of Empress Ning is already relatively popular in the hearts of the people, and it's preconceived, so I'm afraid not many people will believe it.

However, Su Wan didn't feel disappointed or regretful, you know, the higher you stand, the harder you fall.Things that don't belong to you, even if you snatch them, will be returned with interest sooner or later.

How proud she is now will be how embarrassed she will be in the future.

In an exquisite courtyard hundreds of miles away from the capital.

Lu Chen was talking to Zeng Sanshi and Mother Qian. Cheng Si, who was with them at the time, had been killed by Jin Yiwei in order to cover them. They had people sent by Buddha's mother to help them, and finally escaped from Jin Yiwei. Hunting, hiding in hiding for a while, finally settled here and settled down for the time being.

Despite this, Lu Chen still asked people to inquire about the situation in the capital.

"Mother Qian, what happened to the captured Cai Xiuyu? Can he be rescued?" The table in front of Lu Chen was covered with exquisite dishes, but he asked with a slight frown without even looking at it.

Mother Qian said respectfully: "Young master, the news from our people in the capital said that there is no way to find out Miss Cai's whereabouts. It is very likely that she has been converted by the ancient Buddha and returned to the heaven."

When Mother Qian mentioned Cai Xiuyu at this time, she no longer felt reluctant to part with her before, but was very indifferent.

Cai Xiuyu died for her faith. She has already gone to the heaven to enjoy the blessings, and she will never suffer in the human world again. She will only be happy for her, so how can she be sad?

Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded and said, "That's fine, it's better than being tortured in prison."

After a pause, he asked again: "The girl from the Lu family, has she received the favor?"

Mother Qian shook her head slightly and said, "Miss Lu has already entered the palace, but she still hasn't gotten the emperor's attention. It is said that the emperor still favors Mrs. Chu, and Miss Lu is not in the emperor's eyes at all."

"What a waste!" Lu Chen said disdainfully, "The young master who has lost money still has high hopes for her."

Both Mama Qian and Zeng Sanshi bowed their heads in silence.

After a long while, Lu Chen sighed and said, "Forget it, I'm afraid she won't be able to accomplish anything on her own. My young master doesn't want to wait any longer, let us help him!"

After finishing speaking, he took out a small box with some bottles and cans in it.

Seeing this, Zeng Sanshi shrank his eyes suddenly, and said in shock: "Young master, this is..."

Lu Chen reached out and took out a small porcelain bottle to play with, and said with a smile on his lips: "This is a good thing that can make her favor. As long as there is this thing, the emperor will never be able to leave her. This is a barbarian thing. It's just too rare, and the price is as expensive as gold, you guys find a way to deliver this thing to Lu Jingyi, with various usages recorded on it, I hope she won't let this young master down again."

After finishing speaking, he put the small porcelain bottle back in and handed it to Zeng Sanshi.
