Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 465 Repaying Gratitude in Priority (2)
She has spent so many years maintaining her face and good reputation as a worthy empress. Those court ladies may respect her and even fear her, but they absolutely have no sense of gratitude to her. Her hard work and management for so many years cannot match the imperial concubine a sentence.

The benefits obtained by the imperial concubine are definitely not only these, but also the prestige among the people.

Now, at the time of selection, those who are within the scope of selection will also be grateful to the imperial concubine.

Although it is still possible to avoid the draft, it will certainly not be as exaggerated as before.

Such a reputation made the queen jealous.

If you have these prestige, why not let the second prince sit on the throne of the prince?

Now it's all cheaper for the imperial concubine and her son.

It's a pity that this time, it's different from the last time the Yuyingtang was established, there is no room for the queen to intervene.

This is what makes the queen most dissatisfied.

Su Wan didn't care how the queen was unwilling to do so, and how she could benefit from this matter, and she didn't care either.She only does what she wants to do anyway.

At this moment, there was a court lady kneeling in front of her.

This court lady is none other than Caizhu who has fully recovered.

She came to kowtow to Su Wan to thank her.

Now that Su Wan saved Caizhu, she got to know her situation and character better.

Both Caizhu and Caiyue entered the palace in Xiande's first year. They were still young when they entered the palace, and they are only young now. Not long after entering the palace, they were transferred to serve by Concubine Hu Gui. He is a tendon, so he is extremely loyal to Concubine Hu Gui.

Even now, she doesn't necessarily resent Concubine Hu Gui in her heart.

Such people are very stubborn, and they have been faithful for so many years, and they will not immediately betray the Lord once they are favored by others.

Su Wan admires her loyalty, but she doesn't know how to use her.

Because such a person, even if he stays, is still in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han. Therefore, after she ordered someone to find out who Caizhu was, she never thought about letting her serve by her side.

The reason why she saved her was not only because of Caiyue's face, but also because she felt sorry for the situation of these maids, not because of her gratitude.

After hearing Caizhu say something grateful, Su Wan calmly asked her to stand up and asked, "What are your plans now?"

Caizhu lowered her head and said nothing, she bit her lower lip lightly, as if feeling a bit embarrassed.

Caiyue on the side was so anxious that she gesticulated and winked at her, only to be stared at by Mother Qiu, and she stopped, just a pair of eyes, still looking at her anxiously.

Su Wan chuckled and said: "Save people to the end, don't be afraid, just speak out what's in your heart."

When Caizhu heard this, she suddenly knelt down again with a "plop", and said, "Imperial concubine, my servant... I want to... want to..."

Caizhu murmured, unable to express her thoughts, because she felt a little ungrateful for doing so, but she couldn't tell a lie, so she was about to burst into tears.

Caiyue seemed to have anticipated what she was going to say, with a very anxious expression, she walked up to Caizhu, knelt down to Su Wan, and said: "Caizhu is not good at words, let the slaves speak. The empress saved Caizhu." Zhu, Caizhu, she is willing to be an ox or a horse to repay the empress, and she also asks the empress to take Caizhu, even if she is just a low-level cleaning lady."

In fact, even if it is just the sweeping maids in Su Wan Palace, many court ladies will flock to her, and they will be bloodied.

Hearing this, Su Wan's lips curled up slightly, she glanced at Caiyue with a half-smile, and said, "I only want to hear the truth! If anyone dares to lie to me, no matter what the reason is, good intentions or malice, I will not lie to you." Forgive me."

When Caiyue heard this, she couldn't help but bit her lower lip tightly, but her face turned slightly pale.

Caizhu looked at Caiyue in silence, Caiyue shook her head anxiously and pleadingly at her, if Caizhu denied it, it would really hurt her.

She knew that the imperial concubine hated others to deceive her the most.

But she also knows that she, a good sister, cannot tell lies.

As expected, Caizhu pursed her lips, kowtowed to Su Wan and said: "Your Majesty's kindness to this servant is as great as a mountain, and this servant will never be able to repay your kindness in a lifetime."

Speaking of this, she paused for a while, and then said: "Originally, the slaves should stay to do the hard work for the empress, and repay the empress. However, the imperial concubine also has the kindness to recreate the slaves, just like reborn parents, there is a sequence of repaying the favor. , slave... slave is really..."

Caiyue also heard this, her face became paler, and she immediately interrupted her and said: "Even if the imperial concubine empress has a kindness to you, but you paid for it with your own life, and you have served her for so many years. I don't owe her any more."

"But..." Caizhu showed a look of embarrassment on her face. Finally, she closed her eyes, as if she had made some painful decision, she gritted her teeth and said, "Imperial Concubine, I am willing to stay by your side to serve you, to repay your... ..."

"Wait—" Su Wan interrupted her suddenly.

Su Wan looked at Caizhu, seemed to find it a little funny, and said: "There is no shortage of people around me, and it would be superfluous for you to stay. Bengong saved you not because she likes you, but because Caiyue desperately wanted to save you." Please, I couldn't bear it, so I agreed. Therefore, I never thought of asking you to be grateful for your reward, so you don't have to force yourself to make such a painful choice."

At this time, everyone looked at Caizhu with a trace of contempt and strong rejection, and even Caiyue was angered by them.

It's a great blessing for your empress to save you. I really think that I am a sweet potato, and others have to beg you to stay and serve?
Caizhu's face turned red immediately, and then quickly turned pale, her lips opened and closed, but she was speechless.

"Caiyue, according to this palace, you, a little sister, still seem to want to go back to serving Concubine Hu Gui, so you can send her back, and express my apology to Concubine Hu Gui, saying that I made a mistake earlier. , if it's the wrong person, return it to her now, and please don't mind." Su Wan said.

With a pale face, with shame, fear, and other emotions on her face, Caiyue kowtowed to Su Wan: "Yes, empress."

When he looked at Caizhu again, his expression was not as eager as before, but a little alienated. It is impossible for anyone who has good intentions to be treated as shit, or even be implicated by her, to be without malice.

Even though the two were once best sisters.

Caizhu repaid Hu Guifei's kindness, wouldn't she also repay Caizhu's kindness?
From now on, she doesn't owe her anything.

Caizhu was in a daze, as if she hadn't recovered, she was pulled by Caiyue's arm and walked out.
