Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 573 Extravagant Hope (3)
Xia Xia's face was flushed, and her eyes were full of humiliation and anger.

In the past two years, King Jin has always been obedient to her, and rarely refused to accept her proposals. She thought that she had completely gained his trust, but unexpectedly, because of an undetermined matter, He didn't want to trust her anymore. It seemed that from the bottom of his heart, he didn't really think highly of her.

In the end, Xia Xia still controlled her anger.

She can't be angry, not only can't be angry, she must regain his trust, otherwise, how can she encourage him to rebel?

She was sure that Emperor Xian De was definitely not bluffing and deliberately tricking King Jin, which would be too much to think of King Jin.

It's not that she underestimated King Jin, but because of Emperor Xiande's strength, if he wanted to deal with King Jin, he really didn't need to make such a big show, and King Jin thought so highly of himself.

This is a once-in-a-hundred-year opportunity, once missed, it will be difficult for King Jin to achieve great things in his life.

What's more, there is also the assistance of the White Lotus Sect.

That's right, after several years of suppression by Emperor Xiande, the White Lotus Sect has indeed been seriously injured, but it still has a certain strength. If there is a catastrophe, the White Lotus Sect will definitely develop rapidly. Under the leadership of the White Lotus Sect, those victims, It can display shocking power, coupled with the strength of King Jin, it is enough to shake the foundation of Emperor Xian De and overthrow his rule.

As for the preparations made by Emperor Xian De, she didn't pay attention at all.

Natural disasters are inevitable, let alone irresistible.

No matter how well prepared Emperor Xian De was, he was still vulnerable to natural disasters.Therefore, she didn't believe that Emperor Xiande could resist natural disasters at all, and even sneered at it.From her point of view, this was just the struggle of Emperor Xian De before his death, no matter how much he did, it would be useless.

It's a pity that King Jin has obviously been fooled by Emperor Xiande, and he is a stubborn person, she really doesn't know how to persuade him, now she can only take her time.

Su Wan took Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan to play in the Imperial Garden for a morning, and when it was near noon, the mother and son returned to Yongning Palace in a chariot.

Because the Longevity Festival is coming, envoys from all over the world have come to congratulate, the palace is also very busy, there are teams of maids and eunuchs shuttling in the palace everywhere, and when they see the imperial concubine, they all silently avoid it Aside, kneel down and salute.

The seat made by Su Wan is transparent on three sides, surrounded by translucent golden gauze curtains, the middle seat is soft and wide, the mother and child sit on it together, Su Wan bows her head to talk to them from time to time.

Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan have grown up a lot, they are already four years old, and they have become more active, even sitting in a sedan chair, they are restless, holding on to the armrests on both sides of the seat, and stretching out their fingers from time to time to point out the surrounding scenery .

When she passed by a group of kneeling maids, Yuanyuan suddenly let out a soft "Hey", pointed at one of the maids and said, "Mother, that maid just looked up and peeked at you!"

This is disrespectful.

All the maids held their breath and concentrated, not daring to vent their breath, secretly cursing the restless maid in their hearts, for fear that they would be troubled by her.

Su Wan was also a little surprised. Even the maids who just entered the palace have been trained by strict rules and will not make such lowly mistakes. What's more, they have not been selected in the past two years, and they are all old court ladies. Well, it's impossible not to understand the rules. It can only be said that the other party did it on purpose.

As soon as Su Wan slightly raised her hand, the sitter stopped.

Su Wan looked at the court lady, and said calmly: "You raise your head and let me take a look."

The court lady flinched, but finally she didn't dare to disobey the imperial concubine's order, she slowly raised her head, her body was still trembling, she didn't dare to look directly at Su Wan.

She was still regretting in her heart, why couldn't she control her raising her head just now?
But at the same time as she was afraid, she also had a trace of expectation in her heart.

I hope that the imperial concubine can remember herself and save herself from the fire and water. After all, she also helped her back then.

She didn't ask for anything else, she just wanted to live a better life in the palace. It would be even better if she could serve the imperial concubine. Who doesn't know that the imperial concubine is treated the best in the palace?
As a handyman maid, she has endless work to do every day, and she has to endure the scolding and reprimanding of the palace maids every day, living like a walking corpse. She was supposed to live like this for the rest of her life. Fortunately, the emperor decreed that the palace maid should be 23 years old. Then she could be released, she had a new hope, and she survived, otherwise, she might be dead now.

When Su Wan saw the appearance of this court lady, a slight surprise appeared on her face.

Although I haven't seen her for a few years, Su Wan still recognized her at a glance. Wasn't it Huo Qingyin who exchanged a message with her back then and tried every means to enter the palace?
It's just that after she entered the palace, Su Wan didn't hear from her, and after she entered the palace, she didn't see her either.

Anyway, she was an insignificant person, Su Wan had never inquired about her before, unexpectedly, she would meet her now.

Huo Qingyin was wearing the clothes of a handyman. Usually, the handyman stays in the place where she works, and basically she can't walk around, let alone wandering in front of the nobles. This time, because it's the Longevity Festival, they It was only when she was transferred to help that she ran into Su Wan.

However, Su Wan's identity is no longer the little Su family she used to be, and she shouldn't know anyone related to the Huo family, so she can only pretend that she doesn't know her.

"Which palace are you from? Why are you so ignorant of the rules? Come on, slap your mouth!" Caiyue saw that Su Wan didn't react when she saw the maid, so she had no scruples, and she immediately shouted with the majesty of a court lady. .

Huo Qingyin showed panic, and wanted to say more, but was caught by two young eunuchs, who slapped her several times.

"Forget it, let's go!" Su Wan said with a slight sigh in her heart.

Only then did the two young eunuchs stop their hands, and the imperial concubine's chariot began to move forward slowly again.

Huo Qingyin sat on the ground covering her face, looking at the direction where the imperial concubine left, she was in a daze.

After the imperial concubine walked away, the other maids stood up and looked at Huo Qingyin with a trace of reproach.

"You, you have been in the palace for several years, how can you still make such a mistake?" One of the court ladies who is better than Huo Qingyin said, "Fortunately, I met the imperial concubine, and I only slapped it a few times. When you meet a noble person next to you, you will have to suffer a lot of flesh and blood."
