imperial concubine

Chapter 47
Su Wan pulled the quilt on her body, and turned her gaze to Su Lin's face.Su Lin looked apologetic and looked extremely sincere.But Su Wan knew in her heart that if she wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Hou Mansion, Su Lin was her biggest opponent.

Thinking of this, Su Wanying smiled and said to Su Lin: "What did my brother say, Yue'er is your sister, isn't she my sister? Why would I care about such trivial things? Yue'er is innocent and straightforward , and it was knocked over again, I never blamed her in my heart."

Hearing Su Wan's words, Su Lin was taken aback for a moment, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but his eyes shrank obviously, and he stared closely at Su Wan's face.Although Su Wan said that she didn't blame Su Yue, her words were thorny, obviously she hated Su Yue deeply.

Just staring at it for a while, Su Lin immediately shifted his gaze.A broad palm patted her leg, "Even though my sister is right, Yue'er is not a child after all. Even if my sister doesn't blame her, she should be punished for doing something wrong."

Although Su Lin's knife-like gaze was fleeting, it still did not escape Su Wan's eyes.Su Wan's phoenix eyes lowered slightly, knowing that Su Lin could only hear from what he said just now, that he didn't want to let Su Yue go.

Su Wan put her hands beside her, propped her body up vigorously, and sat on the bed more comfortably, looked at Su Lin and said, "What's wrong with my brother, my sister is young, and it's an unintentional mistake. She cares about it. Why do you have to punish her?"

Su Lin, who was sitting by the bed, watched Su Wan sit up. Although there was only a slight change in posture, he could clearly feel that the aura emanating from Su Wan was completely different!

If Su Wan just now was just a very ordinary lady from a great family, now Su Wan sitting on the bed is as awe-inspiring as a princess.When Su Lin heard Su Wan's words just now, he almost agreed.

Su Lin lowered his head a little bit, avoiding Su Wan's seemingly soft eyes, and said, "Although my sister is young, she actually hurt her this time. If she doesn't discipline her, I'm afraid she will become even more stubborn in the future."

Seeing Su Lin lower his head, Su Wan was surprised.Just now this move was given to him by his mother in the harem.The weak body can better contrast the sharp eyes hidden under the gentleness, even many concubines in the harem cannot escape this trick.

Su Lin found out the solution in such a short period of time, Su Wan couldn't help but admire inwardly, he really is a talent.It's a pity that Su Wan glanced at Su Yue beside him, such a brother has such a miserable sister.

Since Su Yue came in just now, she has been standing by the side without saying a word.Now seeing Su Wan looking over, with deep pity in his eyes, he thought about it a few times, then nodded slightly to Su Wan, thinking that he understood the deep meaning in Su Wan's eyes.

Seeing Su Yue nodding, Su Wan was taken aback for a moment, and then heard Su Yue say: "Brother, sister is right. You don't need to be punished this time, right? My sister promises that she will be more careful in the future and will never do it again." Hurt my sister."

Hearing Su Yue's words, Su Wan immediately understood what she meant by nodding at herself just now.Presumably Su Yue must have regarded her sighing at her incompetence as a sign of pity for her, thinking that she was the one who asked her to beg for mercy.

Although Su Wan didn't mean it that way, she hit the right button.Then Su Yue said: "My sister is right, but it's just an unintentional mistake. Why should my brother be so angry, there is no reason to hurt the harmony between us sisters."

Su Yue on the side nodded her head when she heard Su Wan's words.Seeing Su Yue nodding, Su Wan smiled. There was no harmony between the two of them, so how could it hurt?
Both people in the room were talking to persuade Su Lin, but Su Lin was unmoved at all, "Sister, I have made up my mind on this matter. My sister has caused too much trouble this time, so she must be punished."

Seeing that Su Wan still wanted to speak, Su Lin stretched out his hand to block the air, "Sister, don't try to persuade me anymore." He looked at Su Wan while speaking, but said to Su Yue: "From today onwards, you will be grounded in your small courtyard." In one month, copy the "Neishu" a hundred times, and study women's morals hard."

Su Yue's face immediately pulled down, and she looked at her brother with extremely resentful eyes.After a long time, Su Yue saluted slowly, "Yes, sister knows."

Sitting on the bed, Su Wanfeng narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at the person in front of her with greater certainty in her heart. This person must be her biggest opponent in the Hou's mansion in the future.Being able to be so calm under such circumstances is quite a bit of his demeanor back then.

Hearing that Su Yue agreed to the punishment, Su Wan sighed, and said slowly: "Since my brother is determined to do so, then my sister will not stop me." As he spoke, he changed the subject and said to Su Lin: "My brother is busy all day long. It’s really wrong to trouble my younger brother with a small matter.”

Since Su Wan came to the Hou's Mansion, this was the first time she saw Su Lin in the Hou's Mansion. In the past, Su Lin went out early and returned late all day long, so she didn't know what she was busy with.Su Wan knew that Su Lin was the enemy, so naturally she wanted to find out the details of Su Lin.

Before Su Lin beside the bed opened his mouth, Su Yue said with great pride: "That's natural. You must know that my brother is now an editor of the Hanlin Academy appointed by the Prime Minister, majoring in the history books of the previous dynasty. In the capital, there is no No one is as talented as my brother."

Hearing Su Yue's words, Su Lin couldn't help but smile on his face.Obviously, he became an editor of the Imperial Academy at a young age, which made him extremely happy.

Su Wan's eyes flickered when she heard this, but she never thought that only three years later, it would seem like a lifetime away.In the history books of the previous dynasty, this word sounds so far away.But after careful calculation, it was only three spring and autumn.

Seeing that her brother didn't stop her, and that Su Wan on the bed was shocked by her brother's fame, Su Yue couldn't help but said proudly: "When the history books of the previous dynasty are finished, the prime minister will move my brother to the imperial study."

When Su Yue said this, Su Lin suddenly cut off his mouth, "Yue'er shut up!" After speaking, he looked at Su Wan and said with a smile: "Just now what Yue'er said was a joke made by Mr. Fang after drinking, sister, please don't take it seriously."

Su Wan on the bed lowered her head and smiled, the imperial study?The new dynasty inherited the system of the previous dynasty, and the official system has not undergone major changes.According to what Su Yue just said, it must be Fang Yuanli's promise to let Su Lin Zuo move to the imperial study in the future.

Thinking of this, Su Wan snorted softly, Fang Yuanli really liked Su Lin.Su Lin was even given the opportunity to walk in the imperial study room and get in touch with important ministers, princes, princes, and even the emperor every day.

Looking up at Su Lin who was as handsome as jade in front of her, Su Wan said with a smile: "My brother has become an editor of the Imperial Academy at a young age, and he is so talented. His future prospects are limitless."

Just now, Su Yue's words revealed too much information, enough for Su Wan to see that there were at least three people standing behind Su Lin. Needless to say, the mighty Marquis, Su Yue just said Fang Yuanli's name himself, it must be a big deal. Madam also put in a lot of effort with Qi Ruobing, with the joint efforts of the three parties, Su Lin was able to achieve such a smooth rise.

Hearing that even Su Wan, who has always been proud and arrogant, praised her brother, Su Yue felt even more proud, and said with a raised face: "That's natural. It's just that my brother has always been low-key, and he can only let those in the capital Scholars have gained a false reputation as geniuses."

Su Wan heard that Su Yue's words really alluded to her, but she never said a word. Su Lin will be her main opponent in the Marquis Mansion in the future. If he still maintains his current vigor, there will be no room for him to speak in the Marquis Mansion in the future.The most urgent task now is to get rid of Su Lin and the eldest lady.

Su Lin, who was sitting by the bed, heard his younger sister praise him, although he didn't open his mouth to boast, but he couldn't help but straighten his back a little, and his eyes showed a look of satisfaction.

At this moment, Su Wan asked very casually: "Sister's words are wrong. Those talented people in the capital are still worthy of their names, such as Wei Shouzhong, the son of Wei University scholar."

Bachelor Wei is second only to Fang Yuanli in the current court.If it wasn't for Fang Yuanli's achievements in following the dragon and winning the holy family, the two of them might not know who is the prime minister.

As for Wei Shouzhong's greater reputation, as early as in the previous dynasty, Su Wan had heard of Wei Shouzhong's name. He knew a thousand characters at the age of three, read Tang poetry at the age of four, and was able to memorize the Four Books at the age of eight. He is talented and a well-known talent in the capital.

Su Wan seemed to ask casually, but her eyes were fixed on the expression on Su Lin's face.Sure enough, when Su Lin heard Su Wan mention Wei Shouzhong, his complexion changed suddenly, and then he forced a smile and said, "I also admire Mr. Wei's talent and learning."

Seeing the change of color on Su Lin's face just now, Su Wan knew that although he admired him in his mouth, he was definitely dissatisfied in his heart.Therefore, when he heard Su Lin's words, he didn't answer, but quietly waited for Su Lin to continue.

Sure enough, the forced smile faded from Su Lin's face, and a look of self-satisfaction appeared on Su Lin's face, "It's just that, although Mr. Wei is very talented and learned, he has failed many times. He can only be a wild prodigal son in Beijing."

The implication is that I am already an editor of the Imperial Academy, and I will even be a person who will walk in the imperial study in the future. How can a crazy student who doesn't even have any fame be compared with me?

Seeing the complacent look on Su Lin's face, Su Wan smiled and agreed, "That's true. Wei Shouzhong really can't compare with a promising person like my younger brother."

Although she said so in her mouth, Su Wan knew it in her heart.Wei Shouzhong tried repeatedly and failed, he had to do it, he must do it.He himself is not interested in officialdom, if it wasn't because of the pressure from his family's senior scholar Wei, he might not even take the imperial examination.

Su Lin, who was sitting by the bed, looked at the smile on Su Wan's face, but felt an inexplicable embarrassment in his heart.He looked at the candlelight on the table, smiled and said to Su Wan: "It's getting late today, so my brother won't disturb my sister's rest anymore. I'll take my leave first."

Su Wan didn't hold back either, and ordered Zhuru to send the two of them out.

The two left Su Wan's small courtyard, Su Lin sent Su Yue back to the house first, and then turned to the Da Furen's room.

Although it was late at night, the lights in Da Furen's room were still on, obviously the people in the room hadn't rested yet.When Su Lin walked into the room, he saw his mother sitting at the table with an anxious expression on her face.

When the lady saw Su Lin coming back, she quickly got up and asked, "Have you been there? What do you think?" The doctor said that she had seen Su Wan's illness, but did not refer to people who had seen Su Wan.

Su Lin walked to the table and sat down, "This woman is very powerful. She has managed to steal a lot of news from the confrontation in a short period of time. It seems that what my mother said must be done."

The two discussed the matter of getting rid of Su Wan many times before, but Su Lin had been hesitating, so she put it on hold. Seeing that Su Lin finally agreed, the lady finally felt relieved.As long as the son makes a move, this matter will definitely be resolved.

The eldest lady poured a cup of tea for Su Lin, "Drink some tea first." She said and passed the quilt in front of Su Lin, "But Su Wan is extremely cunning now, and there is no way to do it. What should we do?"

After receiving the tea handed over by her mother, Su Wan fixed her eyes on the candle, and said after a while: "Yes! It will be the Shangsi Festival in a few days, mother, how about you?"

The voice of the words gradually diminished, and Ye Xiao's difficult and hoarse cry echoed outside the window.
