Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 493 Good Tea (1)
"Don't worry, if the imperial concubine wants to deal with you, I will do everything I can to keep you safe."

With Queen Ning's promise, Huixin let go of even the last worry, and a trace of longing and ambition could not help but appear in her eyes.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

On this day, the wind was sunny and the spring breeze was warm. Emperor Xiande took Su Wan and Tuan Yuanyuan together to go to Xiyuan for an outing. It was much more fun than in the palace. Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan were very excited. They are almost crazy.

There are mountains and waters, lawns and flowers, all kinds of beasts and rare birds, and all kinds of exquisite architectural palaces here are second.

Needless to say, the energetic Tuantuan let go to play, and Yuanyuan also changed her calm and quiet temperament before, and became lively, looking at this and that for a while, and even clamored to ride a horse.

When they went back in the afternoon, the two little guys were exhausted and fell asleep.

After the family of four returned to the palace, they heard from Mother Qiu that Empress Ning had sent a maid over, saying that Empress Ning had something to see the emperor, and now she had been waiting for nearly an hour.

Emperor Xian De said directly: "It's getting late, what's the matter, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Su Wan didn't care about it either, and asked Mammy to hug the two little ones to sleep.

Mother Qiu respectfully replied "Yes", and then said: "The maid said that the Empress has something very important to see Her Majesty."

"Since there is something important, why doesn't the empress come here in person! Do you want me to go and find her?" Emperor Xian De's casual voice was somewhat cold.

Only then did Mother Qiu want to go down, and sent the palace maid away.

"Your Majesty, since the queen sent someone here, it's okay to meet. What if there is something important?" Su Wan persuaded with a smile, she was really curious, what did the queen need to rush to the emperor for?

Only then did Emperor Xian De let go, and reluctantly said: "Okay, let her in!"

After a while, a court lady came in behind Qiu's mother with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes. After entering, she immediately knelt down to pay respects to the emperor and imperial concubine.

"Tell me, what exactly does the Empress want to see me?" Emperor Xian De asked lazily after taking a sip of tea.

This palace lady was named Fei Cui, and she was also selected from the batch of pickers. Naturally, her appearance was extremely outstanding. Although she was not as highly valued by the Queen as Hui Xin, she was quite trusted by Queen Ning's side.

Originally, this kind of errand work should be done by the little eunuch, but the queen sent a delicate maid here, the purpose is self-evident.

Empress Ning really took advantage of opportunities all the time to sell beauties to the emperor.Su Wan secretly cursed in her heart.

The emperor didn't call out, and Fei Cui didn't dare to get up, but said respectfully: "Returning to Your Majesty, it will be the Shangsi Festival in a few days, and the empress wants to hold a banquet in Xiyuan for ladies from all famous families. The empress said, His Highness the Prince and His Highness the Second Prince are both getting older, and it is almost time to get married, so the Empress would like to invite His Majesty to the Kunning Palace to discuss the marriage of the two Highnesses."

When Su Wan heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, because in her impression, these princes were still children, and she didn't expect that they would discuss marriage now.But immediately, she thought that the two princes were almost 14 years old, and the third prince was almost thirteen. Generally, the children of the royal family start asking for marriage at the age of 15, and then choose marriages. So now it's really not too early to talk about marriage.

Emperor Xian De did not expect this to happen, and frowned slightly.

Even if he doesn't care about the other children, he still has to care about their marriage.

The queen's reason really made him unable to refute.

Emperor Xiande glanced at Su Wan, and Su Wan also looked at him, Emperor Xiande smiled slightly, and then said to Fei Cui: "I'm very tired today, let's go there tomorrow when I find time!"

Fei Cui said with some embarrassment: "But, the Empress has been waiting for Your Majesty all day."

Hearing Fei Cui said that Empress Ning had waited for a day, Su Wan couldn't help but bend her lips, looked at Emperor Xiande, but didn't speak.

She went to Xiyuan with His Majesty, and it's not like the Queen didn't know about it.Besides, even if you want to talk about the marriage of the two princes, don't be in a hurry!She wanted His Majesty to pass so anxiously, if it was said that there was nothing tricky, she would not believe it.

As for why the queen didn't come over in person.First of all, Qinzheng Palace is not suitable for concubines to come and talk about the old days. Even if concubines send soup and water, they will leave immediately and will not stay for a long time.Secondly, there are imperial concubines here, it is fine to come to see the emperor, but you cannot condescend to see the imperial concubine.

She wanted to have some important private conversations with the emperor, and she couldn't finish it for a while, and she didn't want the imperial concubine to be an eyesore, so it was more appropriate to stay in Kunning Palace.

Su Wan could sense something was wrong, and it was even more impossible for Emperor Xian De not to notice.

What's more, in Emperor Xiande's eyes, it's normal for others to wait for him, this sentence didn't impress him at all, so he said: "Since the empress has been waiting for a day, why not wait another night? It's late today, I don't care Get over it, get back!"

"Your Majesty..." Fei Cui didn't expect this kind of result. Before she came, Queen Ning said that she must invite Her Majesty here, otherwise, she would be relegated to a maid as a handyman, and she would never have a chance to serve the Emperor. Fei Cui Immediately became anxious, forgot that the emperor's order is unquestionable, and wanted to persuade him again.

However, what she said just now had already made Emperor Xian De dissatisfied, and now it was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

Before Fei Cui finished speaking, the little eunuch covered her mouth and dragged her down.

After being dragged out of Qinzheng Hall, Yang Yongcai covered his nose with a handkerchief and said, "You personally escort this girl who doesn't know the rules back to Kunning Palace, and just say what your majesty said, let the empress take good care of the maids under her hand." , If you don’t know the rules, next time you will be beaten to death with a stick! It’s a disgrace to the empress.”

The two young eunuchs responded, and sure enough they dragged Fei Cui to Kunning Palace, giving her a lot of trouble on the way.

In Kunning Palace, Empress Ning and Huixin are waiting anxiously.

Empress Ning sat on the throne, looking forward to it from time to time, with a bit of anxiety and uneasiness between her brows.

But Huixin is standing aside, she looks well-dressed, her makeup is exquisite, and her clothes are the best to set off her temperament. On her head, she wears a bun that can best highlight her beauty, and she wears the ones that the queen asked her to choose. The high-quality jewelry abruptly improved her eight-point appearance to a ten-point appearance, and the tenderness of her whole body was almost watery.

Coupled with the aura she had as a concubine in her previous life, compared to before, she is completely reborn.

Even Empress Ning looked sideways at her frequently.Heart is sour, but also joy, but more is self-confidence.
