Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 18 Concubine Chen's Thoughts

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Hua's face darkened: "What do you mean, sister? Is it possible that I will harm my sister!"

Shang Kelan looked at her innocently: "Sister, don't get me wrong, my sister doesn't mean that, it's just that this ointment comes from Fuchunfang, right?"

Concubine Hua's complexion was not good, and she snorted coldly when she heard the words: "Unexpectedly, what my sister said was not pleasant, but there was a wink in her eyes, yes, I bought this rose balm from Fuchunfang, because of the effect of calming the mind Very good, so it is very sought after by ladies from aristocratic families in the capital, but such a small box still cost me...a lot of money!"

The "100 taels" that was about to blurt out turned into "a lot of silver" when it came to her mouth. Concubine Hua wanted to show off her wealth in front of everyone, but she thought that frugality was prevalent in the palace, so she didn't dare to shoot at it again. I bumped into each other, otherwise I would be used to make a big fuss by this bitch like Concubine Chen, and I'm afraid I would be punished by the emperor again!

Shang Kelan listened quietly to Concubine Hua's words, without disturbing her.

After Concubine Hua finished speaking, Concubine Ning's eyes flickered, then she smiled, and kindly took the rose ointment away.

She closed the balm, and the refreshing fragrance disappeared all of a sudden.

But Concubine Ning thanked Concubine Hua: "Thank you, Concubine Hua, for your kindness. I heard that Fuchunfang is the most prestigious powder shop in the south of the Yangtze River. It specializes in women's red makeup. Even a box of balm is an extremely sought-after item. , my sister has a heart."

After Concubine Ning finished speaking, Concubine Hua's complexion improved, and she glanced at Shang Kelan angrily, the dark hatred in her eyes was even worse.

This Concubine Chen must have remembered that she had bullied her, and now in the palace she is still uncertain how to trip her up. Instead of waiting for Concubine Chen to murder her, it is better for her to take the initiative to attack!
Shang Kelan saw the expressions of the two of them, seeing that Concubine Ning had already accepted the box of ointment, she didn't speak any more.

Concubine Ning covered it with the ointment, held it in her hands for a while, and then handed it to the maid next to her: "Tui'er, put away this ointment properly, this is the wish of Concubine Hua, please take care of it." Keep it, understand?"

Tweety replied: "Yes, empress!"

The phrase "keep it safe" means that Concubine Ning will not use this ointment again.

Next, Concubine Ning changed the topic again, and after chatting with Concubine Hua and Monk Kelan for a while, people from the Imperial Hospital came to take her pulse.

Shang Kelan stood up and said goodbye: "My sister is pregnant with Liujia now, remember to work hard and have a good rest, my sister will not bother you."

After finishing speaking, Shang Kelan ordered Xiaoxia to leave the pastry for Concubine Ning, and left Concubine Ning's bedroom. Concubine Hua bid farewell with her, and the two walked side by side on the way back to the palace.

The path paved with cobblestones is neat and tidy. On the left side of the road is the Emerald Lake, and on the right side are planted willow trees. The sun shines through the gaps between the leaves and falls on the two of them. The wind blowing from the lake brings a sense of shade. feel.

Concubine Hua deliberately walked in front of Shang Kelan, showing that she was superior to others.

Shang Kelan followed her quietly, and smiled faintly: "Sister, can't I just go to my sister's Xianya Palace? Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer ice cubes in Xianya Palace. As long as my sister doesn't dislike the heat, my sister will certainly Lead the way for my sister."

Although Concubine Ning's place was a little stuffy, the lobby of her bedroom was covered with ice cubes to cool off the heat. Once she entered, she felt the cool air, which made people feel relieved from the heat.

Speaking of ice cubes, Concubine Hua's face suddenly sank again!

Now all the ice in the harem is tight on Concubine Ning, and even the amount of ice in her palace has dropped sharply. Hearing what Concubine Chen said, it seems that she is in the same situation as herself, and the emperor doesn't love her much!
So, as soon as Shang Kelan finished speaking, Concubine Hua snorted proudly: "Forget it, I just walked with my sister for a while, and I don't want to go to my sister's bedroom!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and said to the palace lady behind her: "Yue'er, help me go back, the weather is too hot, I can't stay with some people who are an eyesore, and make my eyes uncomfortable! "

Ever since Zhu'er, the capable court lady by her side, was punished to go to Xinzheku, this month she has become the confidant maid by Hua Concubine's side.

She looks like a taciturn person, but she is not stupid. If she hadn't been quite scheming, she wouldn't have become Concubine Hua's confidant maid in just a few days.

Shang Kelan's expression remained unchanged, and after Concubine Hua satirized her, she put Yue'er's hand on her face and left here with a happy face.

Zhi Zi glared at Concubine Hua's back indignantly and said, "This Concubine Hua is really arrogant and domineering. She is so disrespectful to you even though your rank is higher than hers!"

Shang Kelan glanced at her: "Speak carefully."

Immediately, Zhizi realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she hurriedly shut up and followed Shang Kelan back to the Xianya Palace.

This place is no better than Xianya Palace, as the saying goes, walls have ears, if someone listens to her words and makes a big fuss, then I am afraid that the empress and the entire Xianya Palace will suffer together!

In the afternoon, a cloud of fiery clouds gushed out of the midsummer sky, which looked gorgeous and gorgeous, but also had a sense of desolation.

In the Xianya Palace, there is a gazebo beside the lotus pond on the rockery. At this time, Shang Kelan is sitting in the gazebo, eating rock sugar chowder, admiring the burning clouds in the sky, with an appearance of leisure and carelessness.

She was wearing a lavender tulle pleated skirt, and her long black hair was loosely tied into a flowing bun, with a small jasper hairpin on her head. Such a simple dress made Shang Kelan look like a painting. Like a fairy in the movie, with a demure and gentle beauty.

Zhi Zi couldn't help but snatched the little rock sugar chowder from her hand, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, why do you fall in love with this sweet food like the Concubine Hua? The servant girl heard Xiaoxia say that sweets are delicious. Get fatter, when the time comes, you will be fat, Your Majesty...what if His Majesty doesn't love you?"

Zhizi is mature and stable in front of others, but in front of her, she is still the same as before in Shangfu. She will get angry with her, chat with her, and relieve her boredom.

Shang Kelan had no choice but to say to Zhizi: "Then you go and tell Xiaoxia to make rock sugar chowder in the future, put less sugar, more ice, more dried fruits and crushed peanuts, okay?"

Zhizi glanced at Shang Kelan helplessly, and went down holding the rock sugar chowder.

In the small courtyard, the breeze gently blew the hair on both sides of Shang Kelan's cheeks. After Zhizi left, the smile on Shang Kelan's face sank.

She looked up at the burning cloud in the sky, and her thoughts gradually drifted far away...

She misses her father, her elder brother, and her free life in the Shang Mansion; she also misses the days when she and Jin Yantang were loving each other in the mansion.

A couple for life... But now because Concubine Ning is pregnant, she has not been to her Xianya Palace for many days.

At this time, at the stone gate of the small courtyard.

Seeing a pair of bright yellow boots embroidered with gold thread and dragon patterns appearing in front of their eyes, the two maids hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Slaves, please see..."

Jin Yantang raised his hand to stop them. Seeing this, Fupu who was following behind Jin Yantang quickly waved to the two court ladies, and the two court ladies retreated knowingly.
