Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 124
At this time, in the Golden Luan Hall.

"Your Majesty is here! The eldest son of Zuo Xiangfu is here!"

After the servant at the door announced twice, Jin Yantang and Shang Kelin approached the Golden Luan Hall one after the other.

Concubine Jia and Concubine Hua's expressions froze. Gradually, Concubine Jia showed a friendly smile on her face and nodded to Shang Kelin.

Shang Kelin was searching for Shang Kelan in this direction, but unexpectedly saw a beautiful concubine nodding to him, and Shang Kelin subconsciously smiled at her.

But when he sat in the seat of Zuo Xiangfu in the men's seat, his eyes froze for a moment, and then he stared closely at the concubine, with a storm in his heart: Isn't that woman the most beloved princess of the former emperor? ?

If he remembered correctly, that woman should be called Zhao Kehan!

Moreover, he had met Zhao Kehan ​​for a few years before, and Zhao Kehan ​​seemed to have a good relationship with Jin Yantang, but after Jin Yantang ascended the throne, the former princess had not been heard from, why did she appear as a concubine at the Hungry Ghost Festival banquet today?

Looking at the seat she is sitting in, it is between the seats of the imperial concubine and concubine, could it be that she is a first-rank concubine?
After tightly holding the wine glass, Shang Kelin raised his neck and drank the wine inside in one gulp.

Immediately, she looked back and frowned slightly. Why didn't Lan'er mention this to him?
This Zhao Kehan ​​is clearly the former princess, but now she is just a commoner with no background, why does His Majesty make her a concubine?
Faintly, a bad premonition welled up in Shang Kelin's heart.

On the other side, Concubine Hua had almost eaten, drank a few glasses of wine, and chatted so much that she was going to throw up, but Concubine Chen still didn't come.

Therefore, Concubine Hua turned her eyes, looked at Shang Kelin, and said to Shang Kelin, "Yo? Isn't this Shang Kelin, the well-known dandy from Zuoxiang's mansion? Why, you have such leisure to attend the palace banquet today? "

Concubine Hua's high-pitched voice and eccentric tone immediately attracted everyone's attention.

In an instant, the noisy and enthusiastic voices gradually quieted down, and countless pairs of eyes on the male and female seats in the hall fell on the two of them.

In the capital, Shang Kelin was famous for being ignorant, playful and unreasonable.

His Majesty gave him a nominal seventh-rank official position for the sake of Concubine Chen and Prime Minister Zuo. He was already in his twenties, but he failed the imperial examination every time.

He didn't like literature or martial arts, he only lingered in the wind and dust, and offended many Miss Jingzhong, if it wasn't for the Prime Minister Zuo and Concubine Chen backing him, Shang Kelin would have been taught a lesson many times.

After Concubine Hua finished speaking, Shang Kelin slowly got up and came to the center of the hall with a glass of wine.

He looked at Concubine Hua with a half-smile, pinched the wine glass with his knuckle fingers, and said: "This lady looks beautiful, but how can she say something so unpleasant? How did I provoke you so that I let you go?" Have you misunderstood me?"

As he spoke, he paused for two seconds, drank the wine suddenly, looked at Concubine Hua with a smile, and said, "Besides, Your Majesty is my son's brother-in-law, and I need your mere concubine's approval to come to the banquet. No?"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall!
The male family members pointed at him one after another, whispering to each other: "This Mr. Shang really dares to speak! How arrogant!"

"How did someone as high-minded and upright as Prime Minister Zuo give birth to such a prodigal?"

"It's a good thing this isn't my son, otherwise I'd be mad at him to death!"

Words like this abound.

But Shang Kelin just glanced at Concubine Hua provocatively, then turned around, intending to return to his seat.

Sitting on a high seat, Jin Yantang propped his face with one hand, looked at the scene indifferently, his eyes were deep, and no emotion could be detected.

He didn't seem to intend to meddle in the matter.

Concubine Hua was enraged by Shang Kelin's words, Dang Li's face darkened, and she pointed at him angrily, "You...huh, don't be too arrogant!"

The queen saw the movement of the two of them, so she came out to smooth things over, and said with a smile: "Okay, Concubine Hua, according to my opinion, Mr. Shang is the elder brother of Concubine Chen, so why not come to the banquet? You are so taunting People, but it is against women's morality, today's Hungry Ghost Festival, I will give my palace a face, let's forget about it, how about it?"

The queen had a gentle smile, a dignified manner, and a pleasant voice, which made everyone in the palace banquet feel good.

Concubine Hua couldn't bear her appearance, she glanced at her, and snorted, "Who are you showing me to pretend to be? You don't know what this Mr. Shang has done, and you still speak for him. Besides, in the past, you But not so proud! What's the matter, today, relying on His Majesty and the face of so many people, you want to play the queen's breeze in front of this palace?"

"presumptuous!"

The queen's complexion sank, she looked straight at her, and said majesticly: "Concubine Hua, don't you want to speak wild words and insult the reputation of this palace, I ask myself, I have been burning incense and worshiping Buddha in ancient temples for the past few years. The affairs of the harem."

"So Fengxi is in your hands, and the power of the palace is shared between Concubine Jia and Concubine Chen. I also complained too much to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, but today is the Ghost Festival, and you have repeatedly uttered wild words against me. Gong is disrespectful, could it be that he wants to usurp the Phoenix position?!"

"Wow!"

Suddenly, the scene that had just been quiet boiled like hot water.

Everyone looked at Concubine Hua with astonishment in their eyes, and they all whispered:
"I have long heard that Concubine Hua is domineering and domineering in the harem. I never thought that she would be so disrespectful to the empress during the Ghost Festival today!"

"The empress is so miserable. She is clearly the lord of the harem, yet Fengxi and palace power are taken away by Concubine Chen and Concubine Jia. How pitiful!"

"Look at the empress, she is also dignified and magnanimous, but the mud bodhisattva also has a temper. This concubine Hua is too bullying!"

At the men's banquet, a middle-aged man felt his scalp go numb when he heard these words.

His expression tightened, and he hurriedly knelt down in the hall, bowed to His Majesty, and said, "Your Majesty, it's because I have no way to teach my daughter that I let my little girl bump into the Empress Empress. Calm down!"

As Governor Li said, he secretly cast a look at Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua curled her lips, then restrained her expression, bowed her head and bowed to the Queen, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is wrong. Please calm down, Madam Concubine."

Seeing this, the queen's face returned to normal, she raised her hand with a smile, and said, "Forget it, it's good for Concubine Hua to know her mistakes, and she must not do it again in the future. I'm sorry to surprise everyone. Please go ahead."

The queen said, and after saying the last word to the guests, she said to the dancers and singers in the hall: "Okay, let's play music!"

On the side, Concubine Jia had a panoramic view of this scene. She ignored Concubine Hua's eyes asking her for help, but looked at the Queen Mother with dim eyes.

What does the Queen Mother mean?How come you still look like an old god?She doesn't seem to be surprised by the queen's changes now?

Gradually, Concubine Jia clenched her fingers, feeling uneasy: I hope there will be no changes in tonight's plan!
At this time, Jin Yantang looked at Governor Li indifferently and said: "Governor Li is serious. Since the queen doesn't care about it, you can go back to the table and don't take what happened just now to your heart."

Hearing this, Governor Li breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As soon as the words fell, he retreated to the banquet...
