imperial concubine

Chapter 18
"In the harem of Emperor Chen Jing's time, there was a time when the concubines liked to give each other maids, but the queen empress forbade this practice, do you know, mammy?" Su Wan looked into the distance with misty eyes, but she didn't know. looking at what.

This question stunned the four nuns.Of course they remembered that gifting maidservants to each other was not only popular among favored concubines, but even low-ranking concubines followed suit.But the empress refused when Concubine Xian offered her maidservants, and she said very bluntly, "The maidservants of Fengyi Palace are selected and sent by the House of Internal Affairs. My sister, the ones you send, I dare not use. Besides , the origin of the people in the palace is unknown, how can this palace sleep peacefully?"

"I just want to sleep peacefully." Su Wan said lightly.

The complexity of this Su Mansion is no less than that of the imperial palace, not to mention that her current status is not enough to support her wantonness.But Su Wan always remembered that her mother had taught her that she might as well be more straightforward when dealing with certain schemes. The more straightforward they were, the more they would be unable to resist.

Now Su Yue has been imprisoned in the ancestral hall, and Da Furen has broken a confidant to protect herself.Of course, all the unsafe factors in Yimei Courtyard must be replaced before the eldest lady has time to react.Otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with Da Furen when she regains her senses.

The four of them were speechless for a moment, but they agreed with Su Wan's statement in their hearts.It's just a little strange that this daughter of the Hou's mansion, who was raised in a deep boudoir, actually knew about the past in Emperor Jing's Palace.In the end, he could only ask dryly: "Second Miss's words are reasonable, but now it's not the time of Emperor Jing, it's better not to mention the matters of the previous dynasty."

Su Wan's eyes narrowed slightly to hide the cold arrow and hatred in her eyes, but in the end she just smiled gently, "Of course."

Several nuns put the three sets of snow satin clothes and various head jewelry sent by the old lady in front of Su Wan, and explained the rules and procedures of the Nobile Banquet before leaving.

Seeing the four nuns walking away, Zhuru couldn't help but rubbed her ears, and said distressedly: "Miss, there are so many rules in this Nobile Banquet, I've misunderstood them all."

"This Nobile Banquet has existed since the founding of the Chen Dynasty. The people who presided over the banquet were queens or concubines, and the guests were the jewels in the palm of the house. Do you think there are many rules?" Su Wan picked up a bag. A fiery red jade hairpin, while explaining. "And the Nobile Banquet will not only have the daughters of the various prefectures, but also the princes and grandchildren, civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will all attend. If you see someone you like at the banquet, it will be a good thing."

"Ah, Zhuru remembered. The third concubine was selected from last year's golden hairpin banquet." Zhuru suddenly said, feeling that this golden hairpin banquet is indeed very important, "Miss, you must take care of yourself." Dress up, you can't lose to other ladies."

Su Wan smiled when she heard the words. In her previous life, she participated in the nobile banquet every year. At that time, the nobile banquet was usually supervised by the queen mother.There are flowers, scenery and beauties, and the rich and powerful daughters of the entire imperial capital are here, whether it is music, chess, calligraphy and painting, or literary talent, the winner must be famous in the imperial capital.The crested hairpin as a gift from the leader is everyone's favorite.

The eldest lady didn't come back from the prime minister's mansion until it was time to light the lanterns. When she came back, she heard that the old lady asked Su Wan to attend the Nobile Banquet and that Su Wan's courtyard was full of people, her face turned livid.Her precious daughter was sent to the ancestral hall for self-reflection, but that bitch Su Wan was able to attend the Nobile Banquet.

She held back her breath secretly, and asked her confidants beside her, "Has Master Hou come back?"

Mama Xing naturally understood what she meant, and looked at her cautiously before replying: "Ma'am, Master Hou was called away by the old lady as soon as he returned home, and he hasn't returned to his room yet."

"It seems that the old lady is determined to let that bitch Su Wan go to the Nobile Banquet." The lady calmed down, and soon calmed down again, her tone became calm.
