Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 96 The Palace Banquet (2)
Immediately, countless gazes shot at Guo Changxi like sharp arrows. At this moment, no matter how sensible a person could be, he could not control the jealousy in his heart. He hated his parents for not giving him a peerless face.

It would be fine if they didn't see His Majesty. Now that they have seen His Majesty, how many of them can remain calm?

When the Empress Dowager Lian heard the emperor's words, the smile on her lips suddenly became more real, and she said to Guo Changxi, "Changxi, come here to meet His Majesty. Speaking of which, he is also your cousin!"

Guo Changxi slightly bowed her knees and responded, and then, amidst all the piercing gazes, she walked up to the Empress Dowager, and politely said to Emperor Xiande: "My daughter has seen Your Majesty."

The sweet and soft voice made Emperor Xian De a little surprised again, the eyes he looked at her seemed to be a little deeper, he looked her up and down unabashedly, the extremely aggressive eyes made him Changxi was ashamed and angry, but at the same time, a sense of shyness and joy burst out of her heart, which made her feel like a deer, her cheeks were hot, and her eyes were even more moist, extremely attractive.

Until then, Emperor Xian De nodded to her and asked her to stand up,

But Guo Changxi was too shy to look up at him.

Seeing this, Empress Ning was so angry that her chest rose and fell sharply, and she finally managed to control her emotions, and said with a half-smile: "Your Majesty, this Miss Changxi is so beautiful that people really like her. Not only does this concubine like her, but even my nephew is fond of her, so this concubine is planning to marry Miss Changxi for Guanglin!"

"Oh?" Emperor Xian De glanced at her with a half-smile, then looked at Chang Xi's frightened face, nodded and said, "Guanglin is not young, it is indeed time to marry a wife."

There was a gleam of joy on the Queen's face when she heard the words, and she hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty also thinks they are suitable. If that's the case, why don't Your Majesty issue a decree to marry them immediately?"

Hearing this, Guo Changxi couldn't help biting her lower lip, and suddenly raised her head to look at Empress Ning, a flash of hatred flashed in her eyes, but then, she covered her expression, with a pair of foggy eyes, she looked eagerly and pleadingly at Queen Ning. Emperor Xiang Xiande, two lines of teardrops ran across her jade-like cheeks, which was so beautiful that it broke one's heart.

Emperor Xiande smiled at Guo Changxi comfortingly, and then said to the queen: "The queen misunderstood me. I only said that Ning Guanglin should marry a wife, but I didn't say that he is suitable for Miss Changxi. Besides, like this I also like my beautiful woman so much, why doesn't the empress make all the fuss for me! Could it be that in the empress's heart, I am not as important as your nephew?"

It was only at this moment that Guo Changxi was completely relieved, and she couldn't help but feel a little more gratitude and admiration in the eyes of Emperor Xiande.

The Empress Dowager Yu also said with a livid face: "Queen, the Ai family has already said that your proposal is unreliable. It's not that the Ai family belittled your nephew, but that he is too unsatisfactory. He is still a food and drink man. How could the Ai family promise Changxi to her, a prostitute who prostitutes and gambles? This is simply pushing her into the pit of fire. Besides, the two of them are not in the same generation, so you don't want to mess around here."

Empress Ning knew that it was impossible to prevent Guo Changxi from entering the palace, so she couldn't help but feel discouraged for a while, her chest was blocked, and she suddenly coughed with a handkerchief covering her mouth. She took out the handkerchief and saw that there were some bloodstains on it.

But she tucked the veil into her sleeve, and no one saw it, because now, she couldn't let people find out that she was already seriously ill.

"Since the empress is not feeling well, let's go back first and ask the imperial physician to have a look, lest the condition worsen." Emperor Xian De sighed insignificantly, and said to Empress Ning, with a bit of concern in his tone.

"Thank you for your majesty's concern. Please forgive me for leaving first." Queen Ning didn't hold back either. After saluting, she led people out slowly.

"Congratulations to send the Queen Mother!"

The queen's back was very straight, as if nothing could crush her, but looking at it now, she felt a sense of bleakness, which made people feel inexplicably sad.

Su Wan watched the back of Empress Ning leaving, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Although she did not side with the queen when she testified, she did not dislike the queen.Even her impression of the empress was much better than that of Guo Changxi, at least the empress did not make things difficult for her.

Unlike that Guo Changxi who dragged her into the water innocently.

Even in the end, she testified for her, with a dissatisfied look on her face, as if she owed her.It's really cheap and good-looking.

And as the main wife, seeing the mistress winning and showing off her power, while the main wife left sadly, how could she not feel uncomfortable?

It is really difficult for women in this era, even if they become queens, they may not necessarily be happy.

Thinking of this, Su Wan's expression became a little sleepy, and she stopped paying attention to the three of them, the Queen Mother, and began to become absent-minded.

At this moment, Su Wan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her arm, she couldn't help but exclaimed, and angrily looked at the culprit, Mrs. Changwu Houtai.Just as he was about to question him angrily, he heard Emperor Xian De suddenly ask: "Is there any dissatisfaction with Mrs. Chang Wuhou?"

Su Wan was startled, and immediately looked over upon hearing the reputation, only to see Emperor Xiande looking at her with a half-smile.

But she didn't know at all, where did Emperor Xian De's words come from?

Did he talk to her before?

Although she was puzzled in her heart, she dared not answer His Majesty's question, so she hurriedly stood up and bowed her knees and replied respectfully: "I dare not!"

"Don't dare?" Emperor Xian De smiled slightly, "I see that you didn't hear what I just said at all, did you?"

Su Wan's face turned red all of a sudden, and she wanted to defend herself, but she didn't know where to start, so she could only lower her head even lower.

Madam Changwu Hou gave Su Wan a dissatisfied look, probably because she felt that she had lost someone to Changwuhou's mansion again.

Emperor Xian De didn't make things difficult for her anymore, his original intention was just to tease her, not to make people laugh at her, so he said: "Okay, get up! I didn't mean to blame you. Marquis Changwu is A subject I trust very much, you are his wife, and I will not criticize you too much."

Speaking of this, Emperor Xian De sighed lightly and said again: "Concubine Xian has no children and often feels lonely. Since you have an imperial order, you often pass a sign into the palace to accompany her, even if it is to talk to her, it is good Yes, so that she doesn't feel depressed in her heart, if she gets sick, wouldn't I feel sorry for her?"

When other people heard this, they just envied Emperor Xiande for the importance he attached to the Marquis of Changwu's Mansion, and the love he had for the Concubine Xian, but they didn't think too much about other things.

When Madam Tai heard these words, she was so moved that she burst into tears. She felt very relieved, and felt that His Majesty was not completely ruthless towards Concubine Xian. As long as Concubine Xian still has His Majesty's pity, she will have a child sooner or later, why send two more people to share her favor.The child crawling out of someone else's stomach is not of the same heart with the concubine Xian after all.
