Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 44 Black Pot
Only then did Madam Tai's expression soften a little, she nodded slightly, and said, "You can eat here today, so you don't waste time running around." The most important thing is that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess should not be made to wait in a hurry. up.

Madam Tai didn't ask Su Wan to set the rules this time, but asked her to sit down and have breakfast together. She even broke the rule of not talking when eating or sleeping. To be honest, no matter what kind of punishment and difficulties you receive, you are not allowed to resist. It is best for Her Royal Highness to calm down completely, and this trip will be considered complete.

Of course, Mrs. Tai said this very implicitly, but her tone was beyond doubt.

Naturally, Su Wan would not be so stupid as to contradict Mrs. Tai face to face, that would be of no benefit to her, so no matter what Mrs. Tai said, she obediently agreed on the surface.

It's a pity that Su Wan didn't eat a few mouthfuls of this meal, and spent most of the time there listening to training.

Therefore, before going to the Duke's Mansion, Su Wan specially asked Lu Fu to prepare some pastries to take with her on the way. After all, only when she is full can she have the strength to fight against Princess Shouning and the others.

But when Su Wan got on the carriage to the British government, Huo Yuan, Marquis of Changwu and Su Yao, who had just come down to court, were summoned by Emperor Xiande alone.

In order to accompany Su Wan to the British residence, Huo Yuan specially asked for a day off. He wanted to go back to the residence immediately after he came down to court, but he was actually kept by Emperor Xiande.

The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed, Huo Yuan had no choice but to suppress his eagerness to return to his heart, and went to Qinzheng Hall to meet His Majesty with the British Duke Su Yao.

The British Duke and Huo Yuan were originally Weng-in-law. Even if Huo Yuan married Su Wan'er, the relationship between the two was not estranged. Moreover, Su Wan'er married from the British Duke's family anyway. They all knew that Su Wan'er was just a substitute. Huo Yuan Yuan's real Yue's family will only be the British government.

Even if Huo Yuan has some affection for Su Wan'er now, he will never really fall out with the British government because of her, at most he will defend her a little when she is being made difficult.

"My son-in-law, do you know that Lord Long Live summoned us suddenly this time, but what's the matter?" Duke Ying asked Huo Yuan as he walked.

Huo Yuan shook his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty's thoughts, who can guess!"

The British Duke nodded, squinted his eyes and said, "Yes, thunder, rain and dew are all favors from the king. Whether it is reward or punishment, it is His Majesty's gift to us. We just need to accept it."

While speaking, the Hall of Qinzheng was in front of them, and the two of them stopped talking in a tacit understanding.

After entering the Hall of Qinzheng, the two saw Emperor Xiande sitting on the throne behind the case in front of Mingjian, with a very leisurely look on his face, the two of them didn't look too much, and immediately knelt respectfully and said: "My minister Huo Yuan (Su Yao) See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

"You two lovers don't need to be too polite, quickly get rid of the courtesy!" Emperor Xian De said while looking at them with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Huo Yuan and Su Yao got up, they stood respectfully with their heads bowed.

"I summoned you this time, not for official business, but to have some homely conversations with you. After all, we are all relatives and cannot be regarded as outsiders, so you don't have to restrain yourself." Emperor Xian De said kindly.

Duke Ying is the uncle of Emperor Xiande, and Huo Yuan's younger sister is the current Concubine Xian, so, from this point of view, they are all relatives of Emperor Xiande.

However, the royal family has no family ties, and father and son brothers can turn against each other, let alone royal relatives like them?Besides, His Majesty has many relatives, and they are not the only two. Why does His Majesty suddenly want to chat with them?No matter how you think about it, it feels a little strange.

Seeing that Huo Yuan and Su Yao only responded with lip service, but their attitudes were still respectful as before, Emperor Xiande didn't take it seriously, instead he continued: "Speaking of which, I have heard some news recently about the relationship between the two Ai Qing's family members. .”

Huo Yuan and Su Yao were startled when they heard the words, they both thought that someone in their family had made a big mistake, and the news reached the emperor's ears, and the emperor wanted to beat them, but soon, Emperor Xiande's next words dismissed them Suspicion in my heart.

Emperor Xian De smiled slightly and said: "Don't be nervous, two lovers, it's not a big deal. It's just that I heard from Concubine Xian yesterday that there seems to be some discord between Bao Ling and Mrs. Chang Wu Hou, Chang Wu Mrs. Hou seems to be planning to come to apologize? What happened, that it is worth such a big fight, and even alarmed Concubine Xian? "

Speaking of this, Emperor Xiande sighed pretentiously, with a distressed look on his brows: "You know, ever since Concubine Xian heard about this, she has been so worried that she couldn't eat and couldn't sleep at night. I also love Concubine Ai, That's why I want to mediate and mediate."

Hearing what Emperor Xian De said was true, Huo Yuan and Su Yao reflexively breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately, they began to feel a little embarrassed——

Since the emperor asked about this matter, he must have understood the cause and effect of this matter.

This matter is not a big deal, and it can even be said to be a family scandal, but if the emperor asks about it openly, it will be a bit embarrassing, and as long as the emperor intervenes, a small matter will become a major event, and I am afraid it will be difficult to end.

Both of them couldn't help blaming Concubine Xian for her meddling and her family's ugliness, she should know better than anyone else.Unexpectedly, Concubine Xian would even do such a thing as revealing her shortcomings in order to win the favor, it is really unwise.

Emperor Xiande didn't feel guilty at all for letting Concubine Xian take the blame for him, instead he took it for granted——

Isn't she willing to do anything for him?Then it's nothing to make her take a small blame!

In terms of treating women, Emperor Xiande was really a scumbag and could not be more scumbag, and he was also a scumbag aboveboard, as it should be.

Su Yao came back to his senses, and immediately bowed and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, there was indeed a bit of unhappiness between my daughter and Mrs. Changwuhou, but it was just a small misunderstanding. It will be fine if I clarify it. As for Changwuhou Wei Chen is not aware of Madam's visit to apologize. If Wei had known about this earlier, he would have tried his best to stop it."

Emperor Xian De nodded casually, and said: "Really? But I heard from Concubine Xian that it was Huanggu who personally ordered Madam Chang Wuhou to come to plead guilty, so what about this matter? I am very curious, that Chang What kind of outrageous things did Mrs. Marquis Wu do to make the aunt disregard the dignity of the royal family and embarrass the wife of an important minister?"

"This..." Su Yao was a little speechless. As the husband of the eldest princess, he couldn't say anything wrong with the princess, so he could only look at Huo Yuan at the side with his eyes asking for help.

However, Huo Yuan didn't seem to see his wink, lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Huo Yuan refused to speak, but Emperor Xian De didn't want to let him go, and asked directly: "Huo Aiqing, I remember that your stepwife, Xiao Su, doesn't seem to have a seal on her?"
