Chapter 4: The Scheming Woman
"Wan'er! What's wrong with your forehead? How to wrap this gauze? The queen asked suddenly.
Su Wan's expression didn't change at all, she had long expected that someone would ask about the injury on her forehead.
Su Wan wrote lightly: "My daughter-in-law's forehead was accidentally hit last night, and I have already seen the doctor, and the doctor said that it was just a little bit of skin, and it was no big deal, and it would be fine in a few days." ”
The queen just glanced at Su Wan, and her expression did not change at all.
The wound on Su Wan's forehead was not as light as she said.
I don't know if the queen doesn't believe what she said.
"A woman's appearance is the most important thing, Bizhu!"
"The slave is here!"
"Go, the jade Ruyi that the emperor rewarded the palace with, and take it."
Bizhu glanced at the queen with some hesitation, but still answered and went down to get it.
After a while, Bizhu walked up to Su Wan with a tray.
On the tray was a pair of jade ruyi of the same size.
At a glance, this pair of jade Ruyi knew that it was made of fine jade, and the carvings on it were very delicate and priceless.
"This pair of jade Ruyi jade is of high quality, tentacles are warm, it is a rare good product, it is the most suitable for pillows, and today the palace will reward you with this pair of jade Ruyi."
Su Wan got up with a shallow smile on the corner of her lips and saluted: "Queen Xie." ”
It can be seen that the queen is very satisfied with her daughter-in-law.
"It's getting late, Han'er! You and Wan'er should leave the palace early! ”
After Chu Mohan and Su Wan left Weiyang Palace, the queen asked Bizhu on the side: "What do you think of the Nine Emperor Princesses?" ”
"Slaves and maids dare not judge."
"You've been with Hongu for years, but it's okay to say it."
Bizhu has been serving by the queen's side since she was a child, and she knows the queen's heart well.
"The slave maid was bold, and the slave maid felt that the Nine Emperor Princesses did not match the rumors, so it can be seen that the rumors were not credible."
The queen took a sip of the tea in her hand and said slowly; "As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves."
"Queen Mother, you are not blind or deaf, although today is the first time to see the Nine Emperor Princesses, the Nine Emperor Princesses do not behave like pretending today."
"Niangniang, you know it in your heart, otherwise how could you give the jade Ruyi that the emperor rewarded you to the Nine Emperor Princesses, the slave maid remembers that Niangniang likes the pair of jade Ruyi very much."
"Bengong just thinks that the jade Ruyi jade quality is not bad, and it is difficult to meet such a good jade."
Bizhu said with a smile; "Yes! Such a precious thing, Niangniang, you didn't give it to others, but gave it to the Nine Emperor Princesses, it can be seen that Niangniang is not only satisfied with the Nine Emperor Princesses, but likes it. ”
The queen glared at Bizhu; "When did you learn so poorly?"
Bizhu smiled; "The slave maid has been with the queen mother for more than forty years, the queen mother, what are you thinking in your heart, the slave and the maid still know a thing or two."
The queen quipped; "I knew that you were so poor, and this palace should have let you marry, so that your husband could discipline you well."
Bizhu has followed the queen for more than 40 years and has not married, which is the guilt in the queen's heart.
For Bizhu, it is her blessing to be able to serve by the queen's side all the time.
"The slave is willing to follow the queen all the time."
…………
Today is the day of the three recalls.
Outside the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone was already waiting at the door.
Chu Mohan and Su Wan got down from the carriage, and everyone saluted Chu Mohan and Su Wan.
"See the Nine Emperor Princes! Nine Emperor Princesses! ”
Chu Mohan smiled; "Get up!"
Su Tianan stepped forward; "Nine Emperor Princes! Nine Emperor Princesses! Inside please. ”
Everyone sat in the front hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Su Wan glanced at everyone present and recognized the person according to the memory of the original owner.
The original owner's father, Su Tian'an, was born as a champion, and with his own strength, he became the prime minister at the age of thirty-five, and was the first person to become the prime minister at such a young age since the founding of the Northern Chu People's Republic of China.
More than 20 years ago, Su Tianan entered Beijing to take the exam, won the current champion, and was favored by the old protector at a glance, so he asked the emperor to marry his eldest daughter.
The emperor decreed marriage, and this matter was also rumored to be a good story.
As everyone knows, Su Tianan also has a childhood sweetheart in his hometown, and the two are in love, and they have already made a private decision for life.
Although Su Tianan married the daughter of the princess, that is, the current prime minister's wife Fang Chuqing, after the two got married, Su Tianan has been indifferent to each other Chuqing.
Fang Chuqing knew that Su Tianan had a childhood sweetheart in her hometown, so she offered to take her into Beijing.
Su Tianan was very grateful to Fang Chuqing, and he was not as cold to her as before, and had a little more respect.
Su Tianan sent someone to bring his lover to the capital and took her as a concubine.
This person is Su Wan's mother, Qin Wanwan.
Su Tianan chatted with Chu Mohan for a few words, and found that Chu Mohan looked like he was ignoring him, but Su Tianan didn't care.
"Wan'er! Now that there is still some time before lunch, you take the Nine Emperor Princes around the courtyard. ”
Hearing this, Chu Mohan's eyes lit up, and he picked up Su Wan and walked out.
Although they have only been together for a few days, Su Wan has some understanding of Chu Mohan's character, he is like a child, he likes to play.
The two left the main hall, and Su Tianan got up and said to everyone on the side; "You go back to your own yard first."
All humane; "Yes."
Chu Mohan and Su Wan were sitting in the pavilion in the Xiangfu Garden, and Su Wan was holding her chin boringly.
In the distance, a woman in a light purple dress walked towards them.
After the woman approached, Su Wan recognized who the woman who was walking towards them was.
The woman in purple is Su Wan's sister, Su Luo, the daughter of the Prime Minister's house.
"It turns out that my sister and the Nine Emperor Princes are here, so I can find my sister easily."
Su Luo smiled kindly, and sat next to Su Wan after entering the pavilion.
In the eyes of outsiders, Su Wan and Su Luo seem to have a very good relationship.
According to the memory of the original owner, Su Wan knew that Su Luo hated her very much, and hated her so much that she wanted her to disappear.
Su Wan's eyes did not show a trace of disgust.
Su Tianan is known to love Su Wan, a woman, so she aroused the dissatisfaction of Fang Chuqing and Su Luo.
The mother and daughter made a lot of stumbling blocks for Su Wan and Su Wan's mother Qin Wanwan behind their backs.
Su Wan didn't pay attention to Su Luo.
Instead, he rushed to Chu Mohan on the side and said, "Husband! How about we go somewhere else? ”
Chu Mohan was stunned when he heard Su Wan calling his husband.
"Okay! Let's go over there. ”
The two got up and walked out of the gazebo.
Su Luo also got up to follow the two, and for Su Wan's ignorance, Su Luo kept a smile on his face, but he was very angry in his heart.
"Nine Emperor Princes, sister, if it's convenient, can you let my sister and I accompany you to the garden?"
Chu Mohan glanced at Su Luo lightly and said unceremoniously; "It's inconvenient, you will only ruin my good mood for visiting the garden."
Su Luo's face turned very ugly for a moment.
Although it was only for a moment, Su Wan still had a full view.
Su Wan praised Chu Mohan in her heart.
Su Luo forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and before Su Luo could speak, a lazy sound; "Since you insist on going to the garden with us, sister, then follow along."
With that, Su Wan turned around and walked forward side by side with Chu Mohan.
Su Luo followed behind the two.
As she walked, Su Luo felt that something was wrong, and now she looked like a little maid following Su Wan and Chu Mohan.
Su Luo took a few quick steps; "Sister, sister, I suddenly felt a little unwell and wanted to go back and rest first."
Su Wan looked at Su Luo and said with a smile; "Since you're not feeling well, sister, let's go back to your room and rest! For lunch, I asked my sister to be sent to the room. ”
Su Luo bit her lower lip, she didn't want to see Su Wan, she couldn't ask for lunch in her room, but she was the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone was eating in the dining room, how could she eat in her own house, if this matter spread, it would only make people laugh at her for not being favored by her father.
"I'm not feeling well, but I'll be fine after a while."
Su Wan understands Su Luo's character, she is very strong, and attaches great importance to her identity as the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
How can you tolerate everyone being there, she is not there.
"Since Miss Su Er is unwell, she should stay in the room and rest, in case she gets any infectious disease, it will not be good to infect others." Chu Mohan said with a look of disgust.
Su Wan glanced at Chu Mohan, and a flash of doubt flashed in her eyes.
Is this stupid prince really stupid or pretending?
In the next second, Su Wan dispelled this suspicion.
Su Luo glared at Chu Mohan, in her opinion, Chu Mohan was just a fool, but she was born in the royal family, and she didn't take this stupid prince in her eyes.
Chu Mohan was so frightened by Su Luo's stare that he shrank behind Su Wan.
Chu Mohan looked at Su Wan pitifully: "Wan'er, she's so fierce!" It's scary. ”
Su Wan looked at Chu Mohan who was looking at herself pitifully, it should be that she was too careful, Chu Mohan should be really stupid instead of pretending, she was too sensitive.
Su Luo looked at Chu Mohan who was hiding behind Su Wan, and disdain flashed in his eyes.
Su Wan said with a grin; "The Nine Emperors are just worried about your body, sister, since you are unwell, go back to your room to rest!"
For some reason, Su Luo saw the smile on Su Wan's face, as if he was laughing at her.
Su Luo twisted his eyebrows.
"Then sister, I'll go back to the room to rest first, and you can walk slowly."
Su Wan looked at Su Luo's back, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared.
Fang Chuqing saw that her daughter seemed to be a little unhappy, and put down the teacup in her hand; "Luo'er, what's going on? You don't look happy. ”
Su Luo's eyes drooped slightly; "Nothing happened,"
Fang Chuqing frowned; "What are you thinking in your heart, how can I, a mother, not know, is it Su Wan's girl who provoked you?"
"I just think Su Wan is ...... She's not like usual. ”
"Is there one? I think Su Wan's girl is no different from before, she is still so unattractive. ”
What happened in the garden just now, Su Luo had already told her, but Fang Chuqing didn't think that Su Wan was any different from usual.
"Luo'er, you're too careful."
Is it really her heart?
"Mother, although the Nine Emperors are a fool, they are the emperor's favorite princes, and there are some things that we should take precautions as soon as possible."
Fang Chuqing's fingers rubbed against the armrest of the chair.
Her daughter is better than Su Wan's girl in everything, and if she wants to marry, she will naturally marry the future prince.
Among the several princes, the most promising are the third prince and the fourth prince.
