Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 443 The Imperial Concubine (1)
A gleam of light flashed across Empress Ning's face, but her eyes dimmed quickly, and she said, "It's getting late, let the fifth princess go back and have a good rest, and it won't be too late to come back tomorrow to say hello."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a somewhat immature voice shout: "Mother, my son heard that you were ill, so I came here to see you."

Before the words were finished, a girl dressed in red palace attire, very handsome, and although she was not very old, looked very calm, walked in slowly. Her expression and appearance were very similar to Empress Ning, with a hint of worry on her brows. It was Liang Jing, the fifth princess.

Empress Ning's face immediately revealed a look of love, she raised her lips and said with a smile: "Jing'er, the queen mother is fine, you don't have to worry, go back to sleep!"

The fifth princess walked to the bed, shook her head and said, "No, my son will be with the empress today. Empress, what's wrong with you?"

Empress Ning smiled kindly: "Don't worry, this is an old problem of my mother, it will be fine in two days."

The fifth princess hesitated for a moment, then said: "Queen, don't lie to me anymore, I know you are being pissed off."

The smile on Empress Ning's face paused, and she frowned and said, "Who said that? Don't listen to other people's nonsense." Her sharp eyes looked straight at the maids and nurses beside the fifth princess, and they immediately knelt down in fright.

"Mother, don't blame them, it's because I accidentally overheard others." The fifth princess said hastily, "I know, it's all because of Mrs. Chu..."

"Shut up!" Empress Ning's complexion changed, and she interrupted her directly, but seeing her daughter's slightly red eyes, she couldn't help but soften her voice, patted her head, and sighed: "Jing'er , in the future, don't be disrespectful to Mrs. Chu, if someone hears about it, even the queen mother won't be able to protect you."

The fifth princess bit her lip, looked at her in disbelief and said, "Queen, how could this happen?"

Empress Ning smiled wryly in her heart, but she still said earnestly: "You just need to remember what I said. After she enters the palace, don't provoke her, and even be respectful. As long as you don't provoke her, she won't Will deal with you."

Although she resented Su Wan in her heart, she understood Mrs. Chu's temperament, she was indeed kind, as long as she was not messed with, she would be harmless.

It is the emperor who is frightening and frightening, he will not be merciful.

"Do you remember?" Queen Ning asked again.

The fifth princess nodded solemnly and said: "Mother, I will remember that I will definitely not provoke her."

The fact that the queen was reprimanded and the four concubines were punished one after another soon caused an uproar in the capital.

Everyone discussed in private, but no one dared to speak to His Majesty, even the ministers remained silent.

It is inappropriate for ministers to intervene in the harem, and His Majesty is even more displeased with it today.

As for the fourth concubine's natal family, they obviously knew that the fourth concubine was being punished, and it was too late to feel guilty, so how could they get burned.

What's more, apart from Concubine Xian being thrown into the cold palace, the other three concubines did not suffer too much loss, within their tolerance range, they could only accept this punishment with a pinch of their noses.

As for Marquis Chang Wu, Emperor Xian De had already had someone disclose the whole story to him.

After hearing this, Marquis Changwu's expression changed, but he didn't say a word.

After returning home, Huo Yuan immediately went to see Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai had also received the news at this time, she fainted several times from crying, and fell ill again.

His Majesty did not send anyone to punish her again. In fact, sending Concubine Xian to the cold palace was already the greatest punishment for Madam Changwuhou.

Mrs. Changwu Hou Tai had always placed high hopes on Concubine Xian. Although she valued her son, she loved her daughter the most. The concubine Xian was abolished. It was like stabbing her heart with a knife.

That look of being ashamed and shocked, is just Huo Yuan who can't bear to talk about her anymore.

He only ordered someone to take good care of her, although she did not say that she should be placed under house arrest, but everything was out of her control, and she also ordered Su Qingxue to wait on Mrs. Tai's bedside.

Although Su Qingxue was unwilling, she did not dare to disobey Huo Yuan's wishes now.

If she didn't listen to Huo Yuan, Huo Yuan wouldn't spoil her like her parents, and would definitely be ruthless to her.

She has learned her lesson.

She can do anything without touching Lord Hou's bottom line, and even disobeyed Mrs. Tai several times, making Mrs. Tai so angry that Huo Yuan didn't care.However, if she doesn't listen to Master Hou's orders, Huo Yuan has many ways to deal with her, and the easiest way is cold violence.

Before Su Wan crossed over, the cold reception that Su Wan'er received would intensify on her. Although she had people and money, she wouldn't be as miserable as Su Wan'er, but the servants of the Hou Mansion would not treat her well.

She just wanted to add some food, and it was inconvenient to ask for hot water, and the servants of the Hou's mansion treated her even more obsequiously.On the other hand, she can't stand it, even if she makes a fuss, she will be suppressed by Huo Yuan in the end, and after a few times, she will be obedient.

Until now, she has not fully grasped the housekeeping power in her hands, and that Aunt Wang and Aunt Sun are not fuel-efficient lamps either.

The two of them divided up half of the housekeeping rights in her hands.

Although she treated them very well when she first entered the mansion, it was because of Lord Hou who didn't care about them. As long as Lord Hou took the initiative to protect them, she would be defeated, and in the end, she could only knock her teeth down. Riton.

She also finally understood that Master Hou would never tolerate her indefinitely, and the two aunts were one of Huo Yuan's means of controlling her.

After suffering several times, facing Huo Yuan, she finally became well-behaved and knew how not to anger him.

Su Qingxue and Mrs. Tai hated each other, and the two clashed constantly, each winning or losing.

Su Qingxue was tortured by Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. Wang was also vomited blood by her again and again. In short, both sides were hurt, and she no longer had the heart to pay attention to other things. The only good thing is that Mrs. Tai was distracted. , I am not so sad for Concubine Xian anymore.

Of course, the contradictions and conflicts between Aunt Wang, Aunt Sun and Su Qingxue are also escalating repeatedly. The backyard of Changwuhou Mansion is full of smog, and even the eldest lady Huo Lingyun can't completely stay out of it. Who made Su Qingxue her real aunt!

Huo Yuan is well aware of the situation in the backyard, and it can even be said that it is under his control. As long as they don't go outside and don't cause trouble for him, it doesn't matter how they make trouble.

Huo Yuan has completely given up on Concubine Xian.

Since she doesn't take his elder brother seriously and keeps everything from him, why should he meddle in her business?
After Su Wan woke up early the next morning, she heard the news that the fourth concubine was punished, and it was Mama Qiu who told her.
