imperial concubine

Chapter 133
Hearing Su Wan's words, the Fourth Prince's eyes flashed a cold light.He knew in his heart that Su Wan was not fully loyal to him yet, and this matter presumably made her a little vigilant, which is why she favored the court lady so much.

The fourth prince didn't want to lose face in front of Su Wan because of a little court lady, what's more, now that Su Wan was in the Yiliang Palace, would he still dare to confront him face to face?Just take this opportunity to test her out!
Thinking of this, the fourth prince said to Su Wan with a smile: "My dear concubine, this lifeless court lady dares to prevent me from coming in! If I don't punish her properly today, how will I manage the whole of the Liang Palace in the future?" The next person?"

Su Wan's eyes narrowed slightly. Although the fourth prince's words were resounding, in Su Wan's view, it was a lie that he wanted to punish the court lady, and it was true that he wanted to take the opportunity to test his bottom line.That being the case, then draw the bottom line a little bit forward.

Putting down the tea bowl in her hand, Su Wan asked the court lady kneeling on the ground with a pleasant face, "What's your name? What position do you occupy in Yiliang Palace? How long have you been on duty?"

A few days after Su Wan entered the palace, except for the fourth prince and Zhuru, there were not many people in Yiliang Palace who could name them.The lady in front of her is of course no exception.

The court lady lowered her head slightly, and then said in a voice that was neither humble nor overbearing: "The palace lady Shuizhu is the new guard assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Yiliang Palace, and she will be on duty in Yiliang Palace for four days."

It turned out that this drop of water entered the Yiliang Palace on the same day as him.On the day of the fourth prince's wedding, the Ministry of Internal Affairs assigned two more maids to the Yiliang Palace according to the palace system. These two maids were assigned to the new prince and concubine.

Looking at the water drop kneeling in front of her, Su Wan suddenly felt a little pity in her heart. This person's fate was somewhat similar to her own.So Su Wan said to Shuizhu in front of him: "Raise your head and let me take a look."

Shuizhu raised her head as she said, but she saw white lips, bright eyes, and rosy cheeks, just like a drop of water on a lotus leaf in the morning, clear and translucent.

Originally, Su Wan felt a little pity in her heart, but now that she was born like this, she liked it even more, "Get up quickly! It's strangely cold on the ground, it's not good to kneel for a long time."

Hearing the concubine's words, although Shui Zhu knew that she was following Su Wan's orders well, but if she got up at this time, she would really be guilty, so she just knelt on the ground and whispered: "Shui Zhu is guilty, dare not get up .”

The meaning in Shuizhu's words naturally refers to the matter of blocking the fourth prince at the door just now, preventing him from coming in.Although this matter was an explicit order from Su Wan, the water drop bumped into the fourth prince after all, and to tell the truth, she was also at fault.

Such a court lady who knows how to measure makes Su Wan even more happy, and this drop of water is still safe!Thinking of this, she raised her head and said to the Fourth Prince: "Your Highness, the concubine asked His Highness to set aside a quiet room for private use that day. His Highness agreed that day. I wonder if His Highness has forgotten, or is he going back on his word now?"

Of course, the fourth prince did not forget, let alone repent.He just wanted to test Su Wan's bottom line through this incident. The wedding night in the bridal chamber is only a few days away, so how could the Fourth Prince forget it?
Hearing Su Wan's questioning, the fourth prince said with a smile: "How could I forget what my concubine told me? It's just that this maid is too rude, and I want to enter the concubine's quiet room." , She actually wants to report first! Just a joke, in this world, how can there be any reason to report when entering your wife's boudoir?"

Although what Su Wan said before was very absolute, but if you don't try it, how will you know that Su Wan's absolute words are not a demonstration line drawn for yourself?
Seeing the smile on the fourth prince's face, Su Wan also smiled and replied: "Of course you don't need to report to enter the concubine's boudoir." The fourth prince had just smiled, and Su Wan went on to say: "But Your Highness, you forgot Now, this is the quiet room of the concubine."

Su Wan thought long ago that if the fourth prince allocated a room for her as a boudoir, it would not only be a joke, but also be easily used by the fourth prince.That's why she proposed to let the fourth prince give her a room as a quiet room.

The smile on the fourth prince's face froze immediately, and he said after a while: "My concubine is joking, even if it's a quiet room, can I still not enter the palace? Why should she go to report?"

The fourth prince's complexion has darkened, Su Wan would not save him face in front of so many people, this makes the fourth prince very annoyed, he only thinks that Su Wan is too deceitful.

Su Wan chuckled lightly, and then said to the fourth prince: "If Your Highness forgets the previous agreement with the concubine, then you must report to the concubine's quiet room when you enter the concubine's quiet room. However, this drop of water is for the concubine today. Concubine's order to act, if His Highness wants to deal with it, deal with the concubines."

Su Wan's words shocked all the servants in the room.They are servants in the palace, and they have long been used to taking the blame for their master, and being a punching bag when the master is in a bad mood. They never expected that Su Wan would suffer for a servant today!
Hearing Su Wan's words, Shui Zhu was also extremely shocked. She raised her head to look at Su Wan, and then quickly said, "Your Majesty broke the water drop. It was the water drop that bumped into His Highness today, and it should be the water drop that was punished."

The fourth prince ignored the water drops, but just looked at Su Wan fixedly.Su Wan did not show any weakness, and the four princes of hell looked at each other.The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell into a silent and awkward confrontation.

After a long time, the fourth prince smiled and said: "Don't be angry, my concubine. I was too anxious to see my concubine just now, and this drop of water blocked me again, so I wanted to punish her. Since my concubine spoke , then I will not punish her."

The two just looked at each other for a long time, and the fourth prince did not see any sign of retreat or cowardice from Su Wan's eyes.Only then did she realize that what Su Wan had drawn for herself before was the bottom line, so she just opened her mouth to make amends.

Seeing the fourth prince apologizing to herself with a smile, Su Wan smiled lightly, then turned her head and said to the water drops kneeling on the ground: "Don't kneel again. Get up, Your Highness has already forgiven you."

Shui Zhu quickly got up from the ground, first thanked the fourth prince, then thanked Su Wan, and finally stepped aside to stand with her hands down.Su Wan knew that it was not easy for the Fourth Prince to do this today, so she didn't continue to chase after him.

However, it would be a pity to let this matter go.Since the fourth prince can make use of this matter, he should also take the opportunity to make use of it.In just a moment, Su Wan came up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

Seeing Shuizhu standing by the side with hands down, Su Wan said with a smile: "Shuizhu, I am very happy that you can act according to my words today. Today, I want you to be promoted as my personal maid, In the future, I will serve the palace personally."

Although Su Wan's words didn't mention the fourth prince, these words actually hit the fourth prince in the face; moreover, this water drop acted quite calmly, and Su Wan could recruit a talented person through such a thing. Wan is also very happy in her heart.

The face of the fourth prince on the side remained unchanged, and he said to Su Wan with a smile: "Aifei is indeed worthy of the name of a talented woman, and rewards and punishments are clear. In the future, I will rely on Aifei to take care of this Liangliang Palace."

The fourth prince has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so he naturally knows that this is an act of buying people's hearts by Su Wan.But he didn't care, they were just a few insignificant little people, not worthy of his attention, but he still wanted to beat Su Wan, lest she go too far.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the words of the fourth prince, Su Wan said with a smile: "What is your Highness talking about, now the concubine is His Highness's concubine, and it is his duty to help His Highness take care of the affairs of the palace. In the future, in the Yiliang Palace The complicated and trivial matters, the concubine will naturally take care of it."

What the fourth prince said just now was just to beat Su Wan, but he didn't expect that Su Wan would take the opportunity to seize the fourth prince's position of power in the Yiliang Palace.You know, the fourth prince is not very powerful now, and what he can manage is the Yiliang Palace.

Therefore, when the fourth prince heard Su Wan's words, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes, but then he saw the smile on Su Wan's face, and he felt relieved, "From now on, my concubine will take care of it, but this palace will take care of you." It all depends on my concubine."

The affairs in the Yiliang Palace were trivial matters, if it wasn't because he was too weak to attract talents, the fourth prince would not care about the Yiliang Palace.But he could also see that Su Wan was joking with him, that's why he said that.

Sure enough, upon hearing what the fourth prince said, Su Wan said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't make fun of the concubine. The concubine is just a girl, how can he decide the big and small affairs in the palace? Your Highness should be the master."

Su Wan was just taking advantage of her words just now. After all, this Yiliang Palace was bestowed upon the fourth prince by His Majesty, and almost all of them are his confidantes. How could she snatch it with just one sentence?

Seeing Su Wan backing down, the fourth prince refused to let go, "My dear concubine, you know that I don't want to take care of these things, not to mention that you are a well-known talented woman in the capital, how can you not control this little Yiliang palace?" ?”

At this moment, the Fourth Prince knew that Su Wan would not dare to take over, so he made an inch of it instead. Anyway, this Yiliang Palace was full of his confidants, even if Su Wan wanted to do something, it would be as difficult as reaching the sky.

Seeing the fourth prince's tired and lazy appearance, Su Wan couldn't help feeling helpless, so she had to change the subject, "Your Highness, don't be naughty anymore. Concubine Shu invited her concubine to Kunning Palace to play cards with the empress today, and calculate the time." , the concubine should go too."

Hearing Su Wan talk about business, the fourth prince immediately put away his previous rascal appearance.He knew that Su Wan's trip today was a crucial trip, and whether he could profit from the two forces in the future would all depend on Su Wan's trip.

Thinking of this, the fourth prince dismissed all the servants, and then bowed deeply to Su Wan and said, "This trip will all depend on your talents. Zeyue's wealth and life are all bet on you!"

If Su Wan went too far, the empress would spare no effort to attack the fourth prince. If she was reserved, then concubine Shu would not trust the fourth prince, and would only let him be a pawn in the future.If there is a slight carelessness in this, the fourth prince will never turn around.

Seeing the fourth prince's seriousness, Su Wan said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness. Su Wan thought hard all night yesterday, and already has a good plan in her heart. Your Highness is waiting for Su Wan's good news in the palace."

In fact, not only did Su Wan not think hard yesterday, but after returning to the quiet room, she just read a book for a while and went to bed early.For her, it would be best if she could keep the fourth prince. If she couldn't keep the fourth prince, then it would be better for Emperor Chongwen to lose a son first.

Of course, the fourth prince didn't know that Su Wan was lying to him, and his face showed joy, "Since Mr. is confident, then Zeyue will wait for Mr. good news in the palace. Sir, please."

Su Wan stepped out of the quiet room, and left Yiliang Palace under the watchful eyes of the Fourth Prince.
