Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 463: Selection (3)
Whether it is said that she is jealous or domineering, she will never give in on this point.

After Su Wan figured it out, she relaxed her brows and said to Empress Ning: "It's still the Empress who is well informed, I don't know about it."

Empress Ning smiled faintly, thinking that Su Wan was just trying to hold on, and said: "My sister has been taking care of the child all the time, so how can she care to pay attention to things outside? It's normal if you don't know."

There seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in the words, who made Su Wan's majestic concubine take care of the child herself?Sure enough, she came from a small family. Even if she became an imperial concubine, she still carried a small family air.

Not to mention the concubines in the palace, even the noble ladies in the capital, who would breastfeed their children in person, it makes people laugh out loud!
It's not that Su Wan didn't feel the ridicule from Empress Ning and other concubines. It's just that she still does her own way. She won't hand over the child to others just because of others' ridicule. No matter how hard and tired she is, she is also happy.

Su Wan said without hesitation: "Yeah, the children are too young, and it's time to pay attention to them. For me, being able to watch them grow up day by day is already the happiest thing. I am reluctant to entrust my child to others to take care of, and I will recognize someone else as my mother in the future. This palace is not so selfless. The empress's mind is really extraordinary, and this palace is really far behind. My sister, I am willing to bow down."

Speaking of this, Su Wan stood up, bowed to her and said: "Empress Empress, it's getting late, please allow me to leave first."

"Sister, please go ahead." Empress Ning said with a forced smile.

As soon as Su Wan left, Empress Ning slapped the armrest of the throne in anger.

Although she laughed at Su Wan on the lips, she envied her in her heart, because the second prince she gave birth to was much closer to the nanny than to her, the queen mother.

He can act coquettishly to the nanny, but when facing her, he looks like a little grown-up, with awe greater than intimacy, respectful yet distant.

In the past, she didn't think there was anything wrong. Instead, she thought that he was prudent, and she was very satisfied with it, but now, she didn't think so.

The second prince obviously wasn't close enough to her. In his heart, she was just his queen mother, who only needed to be respected, while the nanny was her real mother, who needed to be filial.

What Su Wan said just now can be said to have hit her pain point, and it is also the place that she cares most about and can't talk about with others.

In order not to be divorced from the second prince, she didn't even dare to deal with his nanny, she even wanted to be kind and polite to her, who made the prince rely on her and trust her!

If she had known this earlier, she should have paid more attention to the second prince.

But, she can't do anything about it. She had just become a queen and had too many things to do, so she neglected him. She only asked about his condition every day, and never took care of him personally.Later, she was pregnant with the fifth princess again, and her body collapsed. She was weak and sick, and she couldn't care about him even more. When she noticed, the second prince had grown up, became sensible, and didn't get close to her anymore.

Isn't it just like what the imperial concubine said, he recognized someone else as his mother.But she still has to do her best to plan for him, who made him her only son!

After Su Wan left Kunning Palace, she returned to Qinzheng Hall, changed into light clothes, asked the maid who took care of them to bring the children over, hugged them one by one, and played with them for a while. She was a little upset at first, but suddenly Get better.

Children are really the pistachios of adults. As long as you see their cute faces, pure smiles, and hear their babbling and soft voices, you will immediately forget all the unhappiness and become calm, satisfied and happy. And happy, laughing with them unconsciously.

After supper, the children fell asleep early in the other bedroom.

Su Wan said to Liang Hong: "Your Majesty, when I went to pay my respects to the Empress today, I heard she said that she was going to choose a palace lady."

"It's true." Liang Hong nodded, looked at Su Wan and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Wan pondered for a while, and asked: "Many court ladies are very old, so they can't stay in the palace all the time!"

When Emperor Xiande heard the words, he glanced at Su Wan thoughtfully, and unconsciously stroked the teacup in his hand with his fingers, and asked, "What does Wan'er mean?"

Su Wan's eyes lit up slightly, and she said: "Your Majesty, why don't you take this opportunity to let some court ladies go out and make them match themselves."

Emperor Xian De didn't agree, nor did he say no, he just asked with a smile: "Why is Wan'er so worried about such a thing?"

The smile on Su Wan's lips faded a little, and she said: "I just think it's not good to imprison the maids in the palace for the rest of their lives. Instead of letting them die of old age in the palace, it's better to release them when they reach a certain age. , In this way, the people will not be frightened out of their wits when they hear about the draft, and rush to marry their daughters. There are many good women in the world who escaped the draft and married inhumane people, and lived a miserable life. Of course , the women who were selected into the palace were a hundred times more miserable than them. When they entered the palace from a young age, they would never see their parents again. I can't even do it, I really can't bear it, at least give them a hope..."

Speaking of this, Su Wan's tone couldn't help sobbing, she couldn't help but shed tears, she really felt sorry for these court ladies.

Emperor Xian De sighed slightly and remained silent.

Su Wan wiped her tears, and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know what you are worried about, maybe you also have your difficulties, but I still want to ask you to give these maids a hope, and I don't ask you to change There are too many, as long as some people are released at the right time during each selection, I believe that the people of the whole world will be grateful to His Majesty, I... I beg you on behalf of all the women in the world..."

Speaking of this, Su Wan stood up and knelt down to Emperor Xiande. Seeing Su Wan knelt down, all the maids and eunuchs serving around her also knelt down. Tears were already streaming down her face, she just bit her lower lip tightly, not daring to make a sound.

Before Su Wan knelt down, Emperor Xian De supported her, he pulled her up, reached out his hand to wipe her tears, and scolded anxiously: "Wan'er, what are you doing? They Is it worth it for you?"

"There is nothing worth it or not. As a woman, I just want to do something for them. Since I have this ability and this opportunity, why don't I give it a try?" Su Wan said with a smile on her lips, " Even if His Majesty does not agree, but I have tried my best, and I am worthy of myself."

Emperor Xiande heard the words, sighed lightly, and said: "Wan'er, you will really give me a difficult problem, and I didn't say no to agree, you have to give me a time to think, don't you?"
