Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 248 The Concubine Was Wrong (2)
Su Wan heard the words with a calm expression, and said respectfully: "The status of a folk girl is low, so naturally she is not worthy of letting the empress look at her. However, the folk girl admits that she has never offended the empress. The empress has a noble status, why bother to condescend, and know as much as a common girl ?”

The other concubines were just watching the fun, but when they saw Su Wan's attitude, although they were respectful, neither humble nor overbearing, their words were stinging, they simply didn't take the precious concubines seriously, they were even worse than the precious concubines, Su Wan's attitude towards them may not be much better, and she can't help but feel the same hatred.What's more, Su Wan has been dominating the emperor these few days, which has already made them dissatisfied. It's no wonder that they have a better impression of Su Wan.

In fact, even if Su Wan treats them lowly and belittles them, they will still hate what they should hate.

Their identities are destined not to be friends.

Hearing this, Concubine Li couldn't help but smiled and said: "What a eloquent woman, even I can't help applauding you. Sister Concubine Zhen, people say that she has a low status, why do you have to be serious with her again? Didn't you lower your status?"

After a pause, Li Pin continued: "If you want me to tell you, you don't have to talk nonsense with her at all, use your younger sister's thunderous means to teach her the rules, let her know what is the order of seniority and the difference between seniority and inferiority, see How dare she be rude to you!"

Concubine Li said while looking at Su Wan with a smile, but there was a trace of coldness in her eyes.

Concubine Zhen couldn't help looking at Concubine Li when she heard the words, and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, why doesn't Sister Li Concubine do it herself? I know that Sister has a lot of tricks to control my servants!"

Pooh!He still wanted to use her hands to kill people, what a beautiful idea!
Concubine Li heard the words and said nonchalantly: "Has she offended Ben Gong? Why should Ben Gong teach her? Since my sister is not willing to let it go, it's none of my business anyway. It's just that she dared to do so before entering the palace. To provoke my younger sister, I don’t know if people in the palace will treat my younger sister like this in the future?”

These words can be said to have hit Concubine Zhen's death spot. Even if she is used by Concubine Li, she still has to consider her prestige in the palace. There will be rumors of her loss of power, and when that time comes, how can those palace people who are stalking their power think of her?
She hated secretly in her heart, but there was nothing she could do about it, and she really wanted to teach Su Wan a lesson, to express the anger in her heart.

As for whether His Majesty will blame her for this?Hmph, she didn't think His Majesty would punish herself for her sake.

If Concubine Zhen knew what happened to Guo Changxi, she might not be so confident.

However, this is in the Empress Dowager's Palace, and if she wants to teach Su Wan a lesson, it depends on whether the Empress Dowager agrees, so Concubine Zhen stepped forward and said to the Empress Dowager, "Queen Dowager, this concubine is here to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager." , apart from visiting the queen mother, I originally wanted to thank this goddess doctor. However, I didn't expect that she would be so ignorant of the rules. It's shameless to be a human being, so the concubine begged the queen mother to allow the concubine to punish her lightly, teach her to behave, and it also gave the concubine face."

The Empress Dowager Yu's sense of concubine Zhen is far inferior to that of Su Wan. Su Wan can at least treat her illnesses. Even if the emperor loves her, she will not enter the palace, and she will not even give birth. She will not threaten Guo Changxi's status, but Concubine Zhen is It's different, after Guo Changxi entered the palace, she has made things difficult for Guo Changxi, how could the Queen Mother like her?

In the past, it was because the emperor doted on her, and she couldn't do anything to her, but now that her doting is declining, she doesn't have to be so scruples about her. Besides, she cherishes her life very much. After Su Wan's treatment, she is now How could she be allowed to have an accident after she had just tasted the sweetness.

Hearing this, she said calmly: "Concubine Zhen, you are wrong. This matter was caused by you. If it wasn't because of your yin and yang sarcasm to mock Miss Su, how could Miss Su refute you. Besides, the Ai family didn't think she was wrong. Yes. Miss Su is from a humble family background, but she is the niece of Mrs. Lingbihou, and even a distinguished guest of the Ai family. How can a distinguished guest come to the door and be punished to tell the truth? If you are sincerely filial to the Ai family, ask Su Make an apology, girl, and the matter will be over. If you are punished or not, don’t mention it in the future.”

When Concubine Zhen heard the Queen Mother's words, her complexion turned dark all of a sudden.

She never thought that the empress dowager would defend Su Wan so much, wouldn't she be afraid that Su Wan would compete with Guo Changxi for favor after entering the palace?
She originally thought that the Queen Mother was just using Su Wan, and she might not like her in her heart. What's more, even if she was punished, would she still dare not to heal the Queen Mother?

It's a pity that Concubine Zhen underestimated the empress dowager's pity for her life. The more powerful a person is, the more unwilling she is to die, let alone the empress dowager, the most honorable woman in the world?
What's more, Su Wan didn't pose any threat to the queen mother, so the queen mother naturally tolerated her a lot.

The other concubines also found it inconceivable that the queen mother defended Su Wan so much, but the queen mother's attitude also made all the people who wanted to trouble Su Wan secretly dismiss their thoughts, and immediately began to gloat at Concubine Zhen, seeing how she would I will not apologize to a mere civilian girl.

If she wanted Su Wan to apologize, she would definitely lose face.But if she doesn't apologize, it means that she is not filial to the Queen Mother and does not obey the Queen Mother's orders.

Concubine Zhen has been favored for such a long time, and her personality is so arrogant, I don't know how much hatred has been raised. Although it is a pity that I did not see Su Wan being punished, it is not bad to see Concubine Zhen being humiliated.

Concubine Zhen gritted her teeth secretly, asking her to apologize to Su Wan, that was absolutely possible, this old woman must have deliberately humiliated her.

Just when Concubine Zhen was in a dilemma, she heard a report from outside the palace——

"The Emperor is here!"

When Concubine Zhen heard that Emperor Xian De had arrived, she couldn't help being very pleasantly surprised, but immediately, she restrained her joy and knelt down with an aggrieved face.

Except for the Queen Mother, everyone in the hall was a bit shorter.

This time, after Emperor Xiande came down, he came here directly, because he heard that his concubines had gone to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and was afraid that they would cause trouble for Su Wan, so he rushed over here in a hurry. After entering, he Scanning Su Wan first, seeing that Su Wan was intact, the slightly frowned brows relaxed, and everyone said lazily: "Let's get flat!"

After finishing speaking, I wanted to salute and greet the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager Yu immediately made him flat, and even jokingly said: "Why did Your Majesty come to pay his respects so early today?" As she spoke, she also looked at Su Wan who was standing with her head bowed.

Emperor Xian De was very thick-skinned, he didn't care about this joke at all, instead he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Isn't this son missing the queen mother?"

Afterwards, he paused and saw that everyone got up, only Concubine Zhen was kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Ai... What's wrong with Concubine Zhen? What are you doing kneeling on the ground, why don't you get up?" ?”
