Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 448 The Emperor Is Peeling Pomegranates (1)
She also didn't compete with the queen for the right to manage the harem, she had no interest in these things.

During the period between her and the queen, the king did not see the king, and there were basically no similar scenes.She is pregnant, so she doesn't have to go to the queen to greet her.

Every day when Emperor Xiande came down from court, they went to the imperial garden together.It's just that every time I go to the Imperial Garden, I often meet some concubines, but before they get close, the little eunuch keeps them far away and doesn't let them get close at all.

Seeing that Su Wan's belly was getting bigger and bigger, Emperor Xiande was also getting more and more nervous, almost to the point of being a warlord, he also took strict precautions against those concubines and did not give them any chance to make a move.

On the night of Longevity Day, Su Wan personally cooked and made a bowl of longevity noodles for Emperor Xiande, and Liang Hong ate them all out of shame.

Then, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.On this day, there was no state banquet arranged, but a family banquet for the monarch and his ministers.

On this day, Emperor Xiande also held a family banquet in the imperial garden, as usual, offering sacrifices to the moon, making offerings, offering incense, eating and admiring the moon.

Su Wan and Empress Ning also finally met, Su Wan bowed to him, Empress Ning nodded in reply, and the other concubines bowed their knees to Empress Ning and Su Wan respectively.

The throne was raised in the imperial garden, Emperor Xiande sat in the middle, Empress Ning sat at the lower left of Emperor Xiande, Su Wan sat at the lower right, and next came the imperial concubine, concubine De, concubine Shu, concubine Li, Ji Jieyu , those with relatively high status, and those with low status will have another table. All the concubines and concubines who are talented and above have participated, as well as the princes and princesses.

These eight children of Emperor Xiande have all bowed to Su Wan, and Su Wan also recognizes them, but they must not be able to get close.In fact, the Empress Dowager Yu was also temporarily lifted, but she only participated in the moon worship ceremony, and then returned to the bedroom on the grounds of feeling unwell, and did not attend the family banquet.

It is popular in this dynasty to eat crabs around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is the same in the palace, because at this time, it is the time when the crab yellow is full of oil and is suitable for eating.

While eating crabs, while watching and talking, the atmosphere is very relaxed.

The concubines each ate their own food, and they were very proficient in using the eight pieces of crabs, but their eyes did not look at the stage, and they all focused on Emperor Xiande.

Emperor Xian De didn't care about them, he only focused on adding crab roe and crab meat to Su Wan, Su Wan just waited to eat.

During this time, Su Wan has been served by Emperor Xiande, she is already used to it, so she doesn't think it's a big deal.

However, the other concubines had never seen it before, and they were all very surprised and stunned.

Before Su Wan, Ji Jieyu was the most favored concubine, and she had never enjoyed this kind of treatment. It was unbelievable at first, and then, her heart felt as if it was being eaten by everything. Her heart was corroded by jealousy and unwillingness.

In fact, she never gave up in her heart. Even if she was demoted from concubine to Jieyu by the emperor, she always thought that one day, sooner or later, she would be able to win favor again.

She thought that His Majesty must still have affection for her. The love for more than two years does not mean that he can let go of it. He was only temporarily bewitched by Su Wan. When his Majesty gets bored, he will definitely think of herself.

Therefore, even if she was demoted, she quickly accepted it and hibernated quickly, only waiting for the time to regain her aura as a favorite concubine.

However, as Su Wan became more and more favored and even made an imperial concubine, she felt that she was getting farther and farther away from this goal, and might even never be able to achieve it. This guess made her extremely panicked.Even when His Majesty loved her the most, he had never treated her like this, let alone looked at her with such tender eyes.

This made her feel very uncomfortable, and Ji Jieyu suddenly lost her appetite.

The other concubines are similar. It was very difficult for them to see His Majesty once. After the Imperial Concubine entered the palace, it was even more difficult for them to see His Majesty, because His Majesty was completely occupied by the Imperial Concubine.

Now in private, no one is scolding the imperial concubine, saying that she is jealous, that she eats meat herself and does not share a mouthful of soup with others.Not to mention she is still unable to serve the emperor, how can she be so overbearing?
They looked for the queen, but unfortunately, the queen didn't respond. They wanted to find the queen mother to make decisions for them.

Now, it was finally the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, and everyone didn't want to let go of this opportunity. They dressed up meticulously, and tried their best to compare with the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine is pregnant now, no matter how good-looking she is, she will be greatly discounted. Isn't this the best chance to compete for favor?

If the imperial concubine gave birth to a child, it would be difficult for them to win the favor.

Therefore, ever since they met Emperor Xiande, they tried their best to present the most attractive side of themselves in front of the emperor, but unfortunately, when they flirted with the blind, Emperor Xiande didn't even look at them.

They vomited so much that they almost vomited blood.

Empress Ning did not express any opinion from the beginning to the end.

She doesn't want to care about these concubines at all, and she doesn't care about the royal concubine's family. She knows that no matter what she does, it will be useless. It will only make His Majesty hate her even more, and even the second prince will be loathed.What's more, now that Su Wan has entered the palace, she can't change it anymore, why should she find it boring?The only thing she cares about now is to make the second prince a prince, other things are not important.

Empress Ning can hold her breath, but it doesn't mean that other people can hold her breath.

After the opera on the stage came to an end, Ji Jieyu finally couldn't hold it anymore, stood up with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, although the Mid-Autumn Festival should be more lively, it's not fun to listen to the opera every year. My concubine would like to dance a little bit for you." Your Majesty also has all your sisters to help."

Although her dance was not as good as the previous Lu Cairen's, it was not bad. Emperor Xian De liked her dancing very much before.

What's more, this is a family banquet, and there are no outsiders, so it's not shameful to show off your talents.

When the concubines heard that Ji Jieyu had made such an early bird, they immediately lifted their spirits and looked at Emperor Xiande with burning eyes.

At this time, Emperor Xiande was preventing Su Wan from eating crabs, because the imperial physician had ordered that pregnant women should not eat more, just eat one or two and try something new.

But Su Wan was a little greedy and wanted to continue eating, so the two of them were in a stalemate.

Hearing Ji Jieyu's words, Su Wan gave up arguing with Emperor Xian De, and gave him a half-smile look, without saying a word.

Emperor Xian De also noticed Ji Jieyu at this moment, and immediately frowned, obviously feeling displeased to be disturbed.

However, when he saw Ji Jieyu, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

It wasn't that she was attracted to her and wanted to continue the relationship, but that she couldn't remember her identity for a while, and after thinking about it carefully, it dawned on her.
