husband and wife

Chapter 451

Su Wan raised her head as she said, and looked directly at the person above her with neither humbleness nor condescension. The Empress Dowager's rather casual eyes flashed a trace of surprise.

Liu Zhen'er stood behind the queen mother, squeezed her shoulders and handed water, she was gentle and careless, and also looked down at Su Wan.

None of them opened their mouths, and the hall was quite silent for a while. After a while, Su Wan heard a chuckle: "Sure enough, she is quite pretty."

Su Wan said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment from the Empress Dowager, Miss Liu is as beautiful as a flower, in front of her, my wife would not dare to call her pretty."

The queen mother squinted her eyes at Su Wan when she heard the words, and laughed, "Oh, you are eloquent, but you do have self-knowledge. Zhen'er from the Ai family is virtuous and virtuous, and nothing can compare to it."

"The minister's wife returned home with her husband, Ding You. She hasn't been to Beijing for several years. When she came back yesterday, she heard people say that the Empress Dowager is going to choose a good son-in-law for Miss Liu. I don't know who is so lucky."

A trace of anger flashed in the queen mother's eyes, she never thought that such a small fourth-rank imperial order would dare to contradict herself in such a sincere tone that others don't know, so she still doesn't know Zhen'er's thoughts?How dare you be so sarcastic!

He really came from the countryside, and he didn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth!

The Empress Dowager said in a deep voice: "The Ai family heard that Mr. Song is young and talented, and the emperor thinks highly of it, but I don't know that there is such a worry-free wife. As a wife, you should be virtuous and generous, and worry about your husband's worries. Mrs. Song Think you can do it?"

Su Wan, who hadn't rolled her eyes for many years, resisted the sarcasm on her face, and told herself desperately that this person was the Queen Mother, who could crush her to death with one hand, so she kept her usual smile, and said with a more spring-like smile : "The empress dowager is really humorous." After saying that, she covered her lips and smiled, with a trembling appearance.

A trace of disgust flashed in the queen mother's eyes: "Aijia didn't joke, Mrs. Song thinks she is too embarrassed to answer?"

Seeing that the other party didn't know this, Su Wan simply put away her smiling face, and said seriously: "Compared to Miss Liu, a courtier's wife is really not worthy of the word of woman's virtue."

The Empress Dowager's face froze again, no matter how biased she was, she also knew that Liu Zhen'er's thoughts were too shocking to be known to the world, otherwise why would she be so devious and summon this woman in person?She didn't believe that Song Ziheng dared to disrespect the edict after only accepting an imperial edict!

Therefore, upon hearing Su Wan's ironic words that were barely concealed, the Queen Mother immediately became angry, and slapped the table: "Presumptuous!"

Su Wan knelt down and said, "My wife is terrified—"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a shrill voice from outside the door: "The queen is here—"

A look of surprise flashed across the Empress Dowager's face, before she could speak, the Empress had already hurried in, surrounded by a crowd, holding a young boy carved in pink and jade.

"The concubine has seen the queen mother." The queen bowed to the queen mother, and looked at Su Wan on the ground in surprise, "Isn't this Mrs. Song? I haven't seen her for a few years. So she was invited into the palace by the queen mother."

Su Wan smiled and said: "The minister's wife has seen the empress."

"You and I, why are you so polite." The queen bent down with a smile, and helped Su Wan up herself.

The queen mother frowned: "From what the queen said, you are quite familiar with Mrs. Song?"

"When the sage was still a prince, the previous emperor gave him a hot spring village. The sage immediately invited his cousin Chang'an and Mr. Song and his wife. It was at that time that the concubine and sister Su hit it off." The queen said with a smile, and turned the side Song Liangchen pushed forward and said, "There is also Sister Su's eldest son, Liangchen, whom the sage likes very much. If Lord Song didn't resolutely disagree, I'm afraid he would be recognized as his adopted son."

As expected of a queen, in a few words, on the premise of not offending the queen mother, she made the relationship between Song Ziheng and Xiao Zhen clear - they are not pure monarchs and ministers, and their relationship is no worse than that of a sage and Zeng Changan. Unobtrusively reminded the Queen Mother, when using power to overwhelm others, please also consider the saint's position.

A trace of fear flashed across Liu Zhen'er's face, who was standing quietly behind the queen mother. Even the queen helped her and came here to save her, but her heart was filled with secret hatred. If I had known this, I shouldn't have let her The Empress Dowager gave Su Wan a disarm, if she had persuaded the Empress Dowager to see Su Wan at first, why bother to drag the Empress to come to the rescue, but the Empress Dowager hadn't said what she really wanted to say?
I missed this opportunity, and I don't know when I will have to wait.

Liu Zhen'er is not worried that the queen mother's words will really make the queen mother afraid, others can't see, she has been by the queen mother's side for several years, of course she knows that the queen mother is not at peace with the queen, although she was selected by the queen mother herself, now The queen mother is also becoming more and more dissatisfied with this queen who can't bear children for the royal family and spread branches and leaves. She has long criticized her for occupying the queen's position. The queen mother came in to mention Concubine Li to suppress the queen. That's why she deliberately brought out the saint to make her jealous - even she can understand it, how can the Queen Mother not understand it?
Anyway, no matter what, Liu Zhen'er didn't believe the queen's words, the saint likes Song Liangchen?It's clear that the queen can't give birth to a son by herself, so she treats other people's children as treasures. The saint never showed extra affection to her son in his previous life, so what can Su Wan's son do?
This scene of forcing her to become a "prostitute" came to an end when the queen arrived in time. In any case, as a considerate queen mother, she couldn't take the lead in embarrassing the queen, so she could only let the queen make her own Female officer, personally send Su Wan's mother and son home from the palace.
