Chapter 902: The Battle for the Position of Imperial Concubine
Su Nuan sighed and muttered to herself, "No, I have to get Sister Hong back to health soon, otherwise a toad will pop out in front of me from time to time and make me feel sick."
She turned around and opened the door helplessly, and what came into her sight was a girl about eighteen years old. Judging from her hairstyle, she was still unmarried.
Su Nuan leaned lazily against the door frame. She was sure she had never seen this woman before.
The woman crossed her arms, raised her chin, and said contemptuously, "You shameless woman, if you still have any sense of shame, then leave Sifang City immediately."
Su Nuan raised her hand and scratched her ear with her little finger, looking uneducated. "Who are you?"
"I see. You want to marry Ling Yun, right? No, you want to be the queen of Sifang Kingdom!"
The woman snorted coldly, "How can such an uneducated woman like you be worthy of Ling Yun?"
Su Nuan yawned, with a look of refusal on her face, "Ling Yun would rather marry a pregnant and uneducated woman like me than you."
"Shouldn't you be thinking about your own problems instead of standing at my door barking?"
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for the other party to speak. She slammed the door shut and bolted it, and then entered the space to isolate herself from the woman's roar.
When Su Liren saw Su Nuan coming into the space, he said with a face full of blame: "If you have nothing to do, come here and rest more. Let them take care of the things outside."
Su Nuan knew that Su Liren was concerned about her, so she jokingly asked, "Aren't you afraid that a bad woman will abduct your son-in-law?"
Su Liren said nonchalantly, "If someone could abduct her, that's because they have the ability, but if Ling Yun could be abducted, that means Ling Yun is not worthy of your lifelong trust."
"Dad's thoughts and perspectives are different now. No status, fame, or wealth is as important as your safety and health."
Su Nuan was deeply touched. Su Liren had changed a lot since he realized that he shouldn't take his anger out on others, and he was getting better and better.
She happily took Su Liren's arm and said coquettishly, "Dad, I want to eat egg custard."
Seeing his daughter acting like a spoiled brat, Su Liren immediately smiled happily and said, "Okay, okay, Dad will make it right away. What flavor do you want?"
Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat something salty."
Su Liren nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, go and rest."
Su Nuan lay down on the recliner next to her, squinting her eyes comfortably.
But there was a huge quarrel outside, and Su Nuan lost the chance to watch the fun.
Xue brought Lu Bayue to find Su Nuan. Before they got close, they heard a woman cursing loudly, her voice a little hoarse. How long had she been cursing?
Lu Bayue rolled up his sleeves and said fiercely, "Where did this stray dog come from? It's barking everywhere. I'll kill her!"
Xue didn't stop her. She looked at Lu Bayue. This girl had always been good friends with Nuannuan. Although she came to Sifang City for some special purpose, it was okay as long as her feelings for Nuannuan did not change.
The two men came up to the woman aggressively, but she was stunned for a moment, then said gently, "Greetings, Queen Mother."
Xue was still confused for a moment. Queen Mother? Where did this Queen Mother come from?
Lu Bayue nudged Xue and said, "Aunt Xue, I'm calling you."
Xue finally realized that, to be honest, the Four Kingdoms were built in such a hurry that she didn't even consider Ling Yun as the emperor, let alone herself as the empress dowager.
Now that she was called out, she still felt a little awkward, but this was the fact and she couldn't deny it.
She immediately put on airs and looked at the woman coldly: "Who are you? How did you get in?"
The woman behaved very well, lowering her brows and eyes as she said, "Your Majesty wishes to allow me to enter the palace as a concubine."
Xue was dumbfounded. Was her son really that blind? Any woman could be made a concubine?
Lu Bayue hugged Xue's arm. She had just learned about the plan for the harem and also knew that Sister Hong, who was recuperating from her injuries, would be appointed as the Imperial Noble Consort.
She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Mother, this is the new concubine, right? I wonder what title His Majesty will give her?"
Huang Wan immediately said proudly: "Now that the harem is empty, the lowest I can be is a noble concubine."
Xue ignored Huang Wan and looked at Lu Bayue and said, "Yueyue, I forgot to tell you that the position of Imperial Noble Consort has been promised to someone else."
Huang Wan's eyes lit up, and then she looked at Lu Bayue with scrutiny, "So you are also a concubine?"
"Did you hear what the Empress Dowager said? The position of Imperial Concubine is already mine. You will stay by my side and serve me well from now on."
Neither Xue nor Lu Bayue paid any attention to Huang Wan.
Lu Bayue looked at Xue and asked, "Mother, what is my position?"
Xue smiled and said, "Of course it's the Imperial Concubine. From now on, you have to listen to the Imperial Concubine's words, understand?"
Huang Wan could no longer contain the smug look on her face upon hearing this. She said arrogantly, "Did you hear that? Come over here and serve me... serve me!"
Lu Bayue chuckled and pointed at Huang Wan and said, "Mother, look at her smug look. It's so funny."
Xue nodded and agreed, "Yeah, it's really funny."
She paused, a look of confusion in her eyes. "What's her name? White bowl? Black bowl? Why not just call her a bowl? Why not a ladle?"
Lu Bayue laughed: "Hahaha... Yes, mother, look at her big face, calling her Pen'er is more appropriate."
Huang Wan saw that the two were laughing at her, and she yelled in frustration, "Don't laugh, I'm the Imperial Concubine."
Seeing that she even yelled at Xue, Lu Bayue asked in surprise, "Is the Imperial Noble Consort so high? How dare you yell at the Empress Dowager? Does this count as insubordination?"
Xue nodded, "Of course it counts. Not only the Imperial Noble Consort, but even the Empress cannot yell in front of me."
After a pause, she showed an evil smile on her face, "What's more, who is she? An imperial concubine? What a big face!"
Huang Wan was not a calm person. She had long lost her mind in the ridicule and reached out to pull Lu Bayue.
"You little bitch, go to hell!"
Although she had lost her mind, the awe in her heart prevented her from touching Xue.
Lu Bayue wanted to dodge, but Xue pulled her back and they both fell to the ground.
Xue immediately burst into tears, "Huang Wan, you are so brave! You actually dared to hit me."
There were many people working in the villa, and they all gathered here at this moment.
The two maids took Huang Wan away directly.
Huang Wan was stunned for a moment, then cursed: "You are shameless, how dare you plot against me."
"My father is an important official. You...you all deserve to die...mmmm..."
The old woman on her right twisted her arm with one hand and stuffed a rag into her mouth with the other.
At this moment, someone shouted, "How dare you touch my daughter? Let go!"
As he spoke, a burly man ran over and slapped the old woman who was holding Huang Wan away with two slaps.
