Chapter 407 Zhao Shaolan
Ever since the former empress hanged herself and died, the empress dowager also fell seriously ill, and all matters in the harem were controlled by empress Jiang Gui. Zhu Yan was registered as the crown prince, and she was promoted to empress naturally. She is the most honorable woman in the world, but she is still not satisfied.
In the back garden of Reid Palace, Empress Jiang led three or five women dressed in the costumes of doomed wives to stroll around the garden. Behind them, there were also three or five slender, fair-skinned and beautiful ladies, all shy and timid. , eyes containing spring water.
"Mrs. Han, your daughter is really beautiful. Even my palace is very happy to see it. Empress Jiang smiled sweetly and said to Mrs. Han who is closest to her.
Mrs. Han was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. She turned her head and looked at Han Jiao, who was standing among the girls, who was particularly eye-catching, and said with joy, "Your Majesty is overrated. Jiaoer is not as good as what your Majesty said."
Queen Jiang stretched out her hand to hold Mrs. Han's hand, patted the back of her hand, and said with a deep smile, "If I say yes, then yes."
With the empress's words, Mrs. Han settled down, and turned her head to give her daughter a reassuring look.
That Han Jiao, ever since she was punished by Zhu Yan to kneel at the Ding Mansion's banquet last time, her admiration for Zhu Yan has only increased. She said that Zhu Yan is a rare real man in the world, and he will not marry unless she is in this life.
Seeing this, the other wives and young ladies all looked unhappy, but they couldn't say anything, they only darkened a little bit.
At this time, a maid came to report that His Highness the Crown Prince was already outside the gate of Red Palace.
Empress Jiang looked overjoyed, and said to the maid: "Quickly lead His Royal Highness to this garden, and say that the Palace is waiting for him here."
The maid understood and turned around.
Empress Jiang said to the wives again: "Let's go, the side hall has prepared fragrant tea and fruit, let's go and have a sit, this garden is left to their young people!"
The wives embraced Empress Jiang and left the garden, and went to the side hall for refreshments.
As soon as the queen and the others left, these pretty and elegant ladies changed their colors one after another.
The second daughter of Wen Bohou's mansion, Zhao Shaolan, who had just turned sixteen, was the first to speak, her almond eyes slanted at Han Jiao, and said sarcastically: "I don't even look at who I am, how dare I think about the princess concubine?" It's shameless."
The other young ladies, either the first-rank military marquis's daughter-in-law or the concubine's daughter of the palace, are all above Han Jiao in terms of status, but the color on their faces is inferior to Han Jiao's, not as good-looking as Han Jiao. beautiful.
Zhao Shaolan spoke first, and they were naturally not to be outdone, and they all expressed their dissatisfaction with Han Jiao stealing their limelight in front of the empress.
Han Jiao has always been bold, facing these real noble daughters, she was unambiguous at all, and said directly: "The empress is very clear about who I am, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also understands it clearly, so there is no need for you to gossip, Crown Prince The position of concubine, I think, is Xiao Xiang, but what about you? Why did you all come to the palace today? Could it be that Xiao Xiang is the crown princess? Since everyone has the same purpose, why bother to hurt others? "
Zhao Shaolan widened her eyes and said: "You are only a girl from a second-rank official family, how can you be worthy of the position of the crown princess? The empress praises you like that, so you take it seriously?"
Han Jiao snorted coldly: "The Queen's empress speaks well, I naturally take it seriously, but it seems that you don't take the Queen's words seriously."
Zhao Shaolan was at a loss for words immediately after being refuted by her, but she refused to admit it, and said angrily: "Even if you are so sharp-tongued, you will never be able to sit on the position of Crown Princess, His Royal Highness was there that day Who doesn't know that the Ding Mansion has imposed heavy punishments on you? Who doesn't know? If His Highness the Crown Prince likes you so much, why is he so merciless towards you?"
