Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 523
"Your Majesty, this matter must never be done." Fu Li said hastily, "Twisted melons are not sweet. I would rather never marry a wife than delay others."

There is always a shadow of a person in his heart. Although he knows that he will never be able to be with her, even seeing her is not easy, but he often thinks of her. In a word.

So, that time, when she was hijacked by the rebels of the White Lotus Sect, even though she was wearing a veiled hat, he recognized her at a glance.

Even after several years, he is still somewhat unforgettable.

Maybe it was because the first meeting was too unforgettable, maybe it was because of pity for her, he treated her differently from the beginning.

The second time they met, she frightened the horse, and he saved her again.He was a little pleased to find that she didn't have any fear or hatred towards him, and he even felt that she might have a little affection for him.

It's not that he wasn't tempted, but it's a pity that the other party was already married at the time, and there was no relationship between them. He could only keep this hidden feeling in his heart and dare not reveal it.

Later, she was followed by His Majesty again, and he was always worried about her situation, afraid that she would be bullied by His Majesty, that her reputation would be damaged, and that she would not be able to gain a foothold in Changwuhou Mansion, but there was nothing he could do.

He sometimes thought, if she was really divorced by Marquis Changwu, wouldn't he have a chance to marry her?

But he was just thinking about it. He understood what being divorced meant to a woman. Some women would rather die than be divorced.

He didn't want to let her suffer that kind of pain because of his own selfishness.

Therefore, he didn't do anything, just guarding this feeling silently.

But he never expected that His Majesty would have the upper hand and win the beauty in the end.

It's not that he doesn't regret--

If he didn't have so many scruples, wouldn't she be his wife now?
But he knew very well in his heart that he would never be able to do whatever he wanted like His Majesty, and he didn't have the power like the Emperor, so the final result might not be happy.

What His Majesty can do, he may not be able to do.

So, now seeing that she has a good home and a happy life, he is also happy for her.

Regretful, but not resentful or jealous.

He didn't marry a wife, not only because he couldn't forget her for the time being, but also because it was too unfair to the woman who was about to become his wife.

It's fine if he doesn't marry a wife. Once he does, he must live a good life with his wife.Trust each other, support each other, and love each other, instead of just being a couple who seem to be in harmony with each other.

Exchange your sincerity for your sincerity, if you can't do it yourself, how can you force others?
Emperor Xian De laughed and said: "Don't worry, I won't mess with the mandarin couples. I will definitely find you a wife who is willing to marry you and suits your wishes."

Emperor Xian De already talked about this, Fu Li could only sigh secretly, and agreed.

He didn't have any hope for this in his heart, at worst he would just refuse it when the time came.

Before I knew it, another seven or eight days had passed.

In the past few days, Su Wan summoned a few more ladies, all of whom she was more optimistic about at the beginning.

After chatting casually, they were sent out of the palace that day.

They are all good, but unfortunately, they are not very suitable for Commander Fu.

On this day, Su Wan had just woken up from her afternoon nap when she heard Han Lu coming to report——

Lipin is here.

The West Second Room of the main hall of the Yonghe Palace.

Su Wan sat on the kang under the south window, looking at Concubine Li standing in front of her.

The wound on Li Pin's face has healed much, but there are still shallow scars, but as long as she puts on a thick powder, basically nothing can be seen.

Just like now, the powder on Concubine Li's face is several layers thicker than usual, it seems that the powder will fall down with a rustle when she moves her expression.

Su Wan glanced twice, then looked away, lest Concubine Li become angry from embarrassment.She stopped rubbing salt in her wounds.

When Concubine Li saw Su Wan looking at her face, the smile on her face froze.

In the past two days, many people went to Chuxiu Palace to visit her. However, everyone who saw her would inevitably stare at her face for a while. Although they didn't say anything, their eyes and smiles, But she has already explained everything, but she still has nowhere to vent her anger, and she has several pimples on her face when she is so angry, that's why she rubbed the powder on her face so thickly, just because she didn't want the imperial concubine to get angry too. laugh at yourself.

Fortunately, the imperial concubine quickly moved her eyes away, and she couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Sister Li Concubine came to look for me at this time, but what's the matter?" Su Wan asked someone to bring Li Concubine an embroidery pier, and after she sat down, she asked slowly.

Concubine Li showed a trace of gratitude on her face, and said: "This concubine actually came here specially to thank the empress. If the empress hadn't sent someone to deliver the wound medicine to the concubine, the wound on the concubine's face would not have healed so much Hurry up. The concubine is here to thank the empress first."

After speaking, she stood up and thanked Su Wanfu.

"It's just a little effort, sister, don't worry about it." Su Wan said with a light smile.She didn't believe that Li Pin came here just to thank her, there must be other things.

Concubine Li said with a trace of guilt: "In the past, the concubines were ignorant and always caused trouble for the empress. From now on, the concubines will definitely keep themselves safe and will never make things difficult for the empress."

"It would be the best if you think so." Su Wan said.

Concubine Li said a few more regretful words, then she seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "By the way, empress, my concubine suddenly remembered something, and almost forgot to tell empress."

"What's the matter?" Su Wan asked.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment." Concubine Li called out "Green Jade" after finishing speaking.

Then, she saw Luyu, the big palace maid next to her, holding something in her hand, coming in from the outside obediently.

Su Wan looked at the things in Luyu's hands, and was immediately taken aback.

It was a little pig doll, with a green melon skin cap, slit eyes, a big red nose, and two big nostrils. It was not as ugly as a pig, but rather naive and very cute.

It was the McDull Pig doll she personally made for Yuanyuan.

After Luyu saluted the two of them, she presented the things to Concubine Li, and quietly retreated to the side.

Concubine Li held the McDull pig doll and said to Su Wan: "I don't know if your mother can deny this doll?"

Su Wan nodded, and said: "Of course I recognize it, this is exactly what I sewed by myself, but I accidentally lost it some time ago."
