Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 36
Therefore, as soon as she left the Yonghe Palace, Su Wan said to Ruyi with some embarrassment: "Miss Ruyi, in my opinion, you should not go to this imperial garden, right? After all, I don't know much about the rules in the palace. My lord, I don't care about it myself, if I lose my mother's face in front of your lord, what should I do?"

After listening to Su Wan's words, Ruyi felt that there was some truth, but she didn't want to go against Concubine Xian's insistence, so she said with a smile: "Ma'am, you are worrying too much. At this time, no one will visit the Imperial Garden. Now, all the concubines in the palace They are all busy receiving relatives and have no time to visit the imperial garden, even those low-level concubines who have no family to receive them will not come out to wander around at this time."

After hearing this explanation, Su Wan was still puzzled, but she didn't ask any further questions, she smiled slightly, followed Ruyi out of the east gate of Qiongyuan, and entered the imperial garden.

In fact, Su Wan didn't know that Emperor Xiande always liked to deal with government affairs in the morning, and basically would not visit the Imperial Garden during this time, and would only come out for a stroll in the afternoon when he was free.At that time, it was the time when the concubines were haunting the imperial garden.

This is also the reason why Concubine Xian assured Su Wan to go to the Royal Garden.

Of course, there are no absolutes in everything, if Emperor Xiande is interested, he can visit the garden anytime.

Su Wan has just arrived here, her previous life had limited vision, and she only knew a little bit about the harem. Su Wan's understanding of the harem was only through various film and television dramas in her previous life, and she didn't know the real situation of the harem. meaning.

Hearing that Ruyi said she was fine, and seeing that she was determined to go her own way, she felt relieved and began to visit the Imperial Garden with peace of mind.It is rare to enter the palace once, and it is worthwhile to enjoy the scenery in the palace.

At the same time, Emperor Xiande finished handling political affairs in the Palace of Qinzheng and realized that it was still early, so he planned to go to the harem to have some fun.

In the past few years, Emperor Xiande's throne is as stable as Mount Tai, with many virtuous and capable ministers under his command, plus the weather is good, the people are happy, and there is not much to worry about, so Emperor Xiande's government affairs are no longer as busy as before. It forced him to be out of breath, and he had some free time. Naturally, the excess energy was spent on the concubines in the harem. This can be seen from the continuous good news from the women in the harem.

Of course, having good news may not necessarily give birth, and being born does not necessarily mean that one will be able to stand up. So far, Emperor Xiande's surviving heirs, counting the infants, are about seven or eight.

Although the number of concubines in the palace is not too many, the update speed is extremely fast, especially those low-level concubines, who have been replaced several times. Not everyone can be as lucky as the concubine Zhen. Most of those who were promoted became victims of Gongdou.

It is impossible for Emperor Xian De not to know about these things, but he was too lazy to take care of them, if they can survive, it is their ability, if they can't, they can only blame themselves for being useless.

Fortunately, Emperor Xiande valued the emperor's heir more, and the empress was more shrewd and reliable. Most of the concubines did not dare to attack the emperor's heir. Many offspring.

"Yang Yong, what is Concubine Li doing now?" Emperor Xian De suddenly wanted to see Concubine Li's peerless dance.

"Return to Your Majesty, today is the day when Jiaofang's family members come to the palace to visit, and Madam Li is probably receiving Mrs. Zhuang Shu!" Yang Yong said with a low eyebrow and a smile.

Concubine Li is also considered to be favored in the palace, although not as good as Concubine Zhen, but not too far behind.Moreover, her father is a member of the third rank. Although she is a concubine, her background is much stronger than that of the concubine Zhen.With Concubine Zhen at the front, she wouldn't be a target.

Emperor Xian De was a little stunned this time, suddenly felt a little bored, and said: "In that case, let's go to the Imperial Garden for a walk!"

Yang Yongdao: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhen's natal family is not in the capital, so I'm free today, Your Majesty might as well go and sit with Concubine Zhen."

Yang Yong was often filial and respected by the concubine Zhen, and concubine Zhen was favored, so Yang Yong was willing to say a few good words for her.

"Her?" Emperor Xian De thought of Concubine Zhen's recent actions, glanced lightly at Yang Yong, and said with a soft snort, "I see that she is so favored by me that I don't know what her last name is, so let's cool off for a while. Let's see her performance."

Yang Yong was shocked by Emperor Xiande's glance, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead involuntarily.

Yang Yong followed Emperor Xiande to the Imperial Garden step by step, seeing His Majesty's expression softened a little, and then quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief.

I can't help but wake up myself.

It seems that he may have to keep a little distance from Concubine Zhen in the future. Although money is important, it must be spent with life. If His Majesty despises him, it will be bad.He will not sacrifice His Majesty's trust and his future for a precious concubine.

Emperor Xiande has visited this imperial garden for countless times, and he has long been tired of it. He came to the imperial garden with the purpose of hunting for beauty, and it is best to have a beautiful encounter with a certain concubine. After all, not everyone All the concubines are receiving female relatives, and many concubines' natal families are not in the capital.

In the past, when Emperor Xiande came, he would have such an affair almost every time, but this time, he had almost walked around and hadn't met a single figure, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Seeing this, Yang Yong couldn't help scolding those concubines in his heart for not being up to date, usually trying everything possible to have a chance encounter with His Majesty, why didn't they show up for such a great opportunity today?
Could it be that their collective sense of smell has failed?Or has he been too strict recently that the servants in the Hall of Qinzheng are afraid to disclose the news?
He was about to send some people quietly to inform those concubines who were usually filial to him, when he suddenly heard His Majesty let out a soft "Hey", his steps stopped immediately, his eyes turned to the hexagonal pavilion not far away, his face A smile appeared on the face.

Seeing this, Yang Yong couldn't help looking over curiously, and found a woman in light yellow clothes sitting on a stone bench in the Hexagonal Pavilion with her back facing them.Although she couldn't see her appearance, it was not difficult to guess her appearance should be very good from her slender and graceful back.

What's more, how could any woman in the palace be ugly?Even the court ladies are very pleasing to the eye.

And court ladies generally don't wear beige, so this one is very likely to be a concubine.

With this conclusion, Yang Yong is very satisfied, at least His Majesty will not be disappointed.

Sure enough, Emperor Xian De walked towards the pavilion with great interest.

Led by the maid Ruyi, Su Wan toured the imperial garden for a while. Except for some eunuchs and court ladies who came and went in a hurry, she did not meet the concubines of Emperor Xiande, which made Su Wan feel relieved. tone.

Even so, Su Wan didn't want to go shopping anymore, because Su Wan was always afraid of the imperial palace and felt very uncomfortable.Although she doesn't have any sense of belonging to Changwuhou's Mansion, after all, she still has a place in the Marquis' Mansion, so she doesn't have to be as trembling as she is in the palace.
