Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 91 Changxi (2)
But even if she didn't say it, many people had already guessed the other party's identity.After all, a few days ago, the empress empress's nephew was arrested by Jin Yiwei, they knew very well in their hearts.

Although the empress's nephew has been released, he was humiliated and was still frightened and tortured in the prison. I'm afraid he still can't come out to see people!Even Changningbo Mansion is now closing its doors to thank guests!Mrs. Changningbo also said that she was not sick.

While everyone was exchanging greetings, the maids of the Compassion Ning Palace came to welcome the ladies and ladies into the palace.Only then did everyone stop joking and tidy up their appearances, and then they followed the maid and walked inside in an orderly manner.

In front of the Cining Gate, a pair of auspicious beasts are majestic and majestic. Inside the gate, there is a high platform and corridor leading directly to the main hall of the Cining Palace. After passing the Cining Gate, it is the front yard of the Cining Palace. The doors are connected, and the north direction reaches the east and west ear rooms of the back bedroom hall.The main hall, Cining Palace, is in the middle, with yellow glazed tiles and double eaves on the top of the mountain. It is seven rooms wide. There is a platform in front of the hall, three steps on the front, and one step on the left and right.There are card walls on the east and west mountains, each with a vertical flower door, which can lead to the backyard.

The maids of honor led everyone into the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, and they had already entered the open room of the main hall. There was a gorgeous palace lantern hanging from the ceiling, and a scarlet velvet carpet with the pattern of Tianhua brocade was laid underneath. Sitting on the couch, behind the couch is a rosewood three-leaf screen.

There are bright yellow cushions laid on the couch, a bright yellow pillow is placed on each side, and there are footrests under it. On it sits an old lady wearing the queen mother's usual clothes, with a kind face and no lack of majesty. Needless to say, , must be the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Yu was not Emperor Xiande's biological mother, Emperor Xiande's biological mother died young, and was raised at the empress dowager's knee later.Back then, the Empress Dowager was just a concubine. After Emperor Xiande was reused by the emperor, she was promoted to Concubine De. She had never received much favor in her life. Even if she had a son before, she died early, but she was able to kill people in the harem without blood. In order to survive and become the final winner, apart from some luck, the means must also be extremely extraordinary.

Fortunately, after Emperor Xiande ascended the throne, he was more filial to her, and she was not greedy for power, and never easily interfered in the affairs of the harem, but she loved worshiping the Buddha the most, even the apse of the Compassionate Ning Palace was changed into a Great Buddha Hall, and she behaved very low-key Even so, no one dared to disrespect her, even the concubine was as docile as a cat in front of her.

You know, Emperor Xian De's former favorite concubine is still locked up in the cold palace just because she disrespected the empress dowager!How could they make the same mistake with the lessons learned from the past?
"Concubines (ministers) see the Empress Dowager, and the empress is a thousand years old." After everyone came in, they lined up in several rows and respectfully paid homage to the Queen Mother.

"Pingshen." Although the Queen Mother's voice was calm, it carried an undeniable strength.

"Thank you Queen Mother!"

Su Wan stood up with everyone, and only then did she have the time to observe the empress dowager.

She doesn't look young anymore, her hair is half white, and she is even older than Mrs. Changwu Hou Tai. It may be because she believes in Buddhism and is often a vegetarian, so she is not fat, and she even looks younger than her. Ordinary people are still thinner, but it's definitely not the healthy thinness, but a little skinny. Although it's not obvious, Su Wan can still tell that the Queen Mother's spirit is not very good.

Su Wan only glanced at it quietly and didn't dare to look deeply, but she still silently remembered the Queen Mother's situation in her heart.

Afterwards, the Empress Dowager asked for a seat. Of course, only the imperial wives had seats, and the girls stood behind them. Fortunately, the hall of the main hall was relatively large, so it didn't seem crowded.

The Empress Dowager first spoke a few words to the older wives. At this age, most people have such and other problems. Therefore, including Mrs. Changwuhou, there are only three elderly people. The others were either young wives like Su Wan, or people in their 40s or [-]s.

One of them was someone Su Wan knew, and it was Mrs. Hou Tai of Jinxiang who Su Wan had attended her birthday banquet. She was also Fu Li's stepmother and now His Majesty's nanny.

At the beginning, after Su Wan heard the story of Mrs. Hou Tai of Jinxiang, she had a good impression of her and thought she was a strange woman.Unfortunately, later, she was pushed back into the lake by Zhu Huilian, the granddaughter of Mrs. Jinxiang Houtai, and she almost drowned. Although she didn't hate Mrs. Jinxiang Houtai, her affection for Mrs. Jinxiang did decrease a lot.

Although Mrs. Jinxiang Hou Tai punished Zhu Huilian and almost drove Zhu Huilian out of the house, but it didn't work out, did it?It was just hitting ten boards and restraining her feet.

But thinking about it, the confinement lasted for a few days. At this time, not even a month had passed since the day she fell into the water, Madam Hou Tai of Jinxiang had brought Zhu Huilian into the palace in a bright light.

Su Wan didn't recognize Zhu Huilian at first, if she hadn't been staring at her to make her aware, she probably wouldn't have noticed.

Zhu Huilian didn't know whether it was a guilty conscience or something, seeing that Su Wan found her, she quickly lowered her head, and never dared to look her way again.

Su Wan didn't bother to talk to her either.

The Empress Dowager is obviously very familiar with Madam Hou Tai of Jinxiang. One of them is His Majesty's adoptive mother and the other is His Majesty's nanny. They must have dealt with her a lot before, and the tone of their conversations with her is quite friendly.

"This is your granddaughter, right? Come here and let the Ai family take a look." The Empress Dowager Yu finished speaking to Madam Hou Tai of Jinxiang with a smile, and waved to Zhu Huilian with a pleasant face.

At the same time, almost everyone's eyes were on Zhu Huilian. The envious and jealous eyes of those girls almost turned into sharp swords, wishing to poke a few holes in Zhu Huilian's body.

Zhu Huilian, however, was as cowardly as before, walked up to the Empress Dowager shyly but still generously, with her head slightly lowered, her face blushing slightly.

Although she is only 13 years old, she has a youthful taste, but this is also her attraction.What's more, she is not bad looking, and after being solemnly dressed, even if she is not as good as others, she is still an eye-catching little beauty.Sentimental, immature, innocent, and beautiful are enough to attract men.

The Empress Dowager Yu looked at it carefully, but she didn't know what was in her mind, but she praised: "You are really a good boy, and I am afraid that the future will be good."

Hearing the queen mother's words, Zhu Huilian's face became clouded, and her head lowered even lower. She didn't know whether she was excited or happy, and her slender body couldn't help trembling slightly.

And the empress dowager's move also made Zhu Huilian replace the stunning beauty before, and became the target of public criticism.

"You are too much, Queen Mother, how can she have such a blessing?" Mrs. Hou Tai of Jinxiang said quickly, "I brought her into the palace this time, in addition to wanting her to kowtow to the Queen Mother, the most important thing is to let her With a lot of experience, other courtiers don't dare to think about it."
