Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 19
In the gazebo, a girl in purple was sitting there quietly like a fairy. She looked at the burning clouds in the sky, as if she was thinking about something, with a faint smile on her lips.

Although the smile was shallow, it was warm and sweet. Seeing her like this, the heat in Jin Yantang's heart dissipated a bit.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Fu Pu faintly, and Fu Pu immediately smiled flatteringly, stopped by the stone gate, and stood guard here.

Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, Shang Kelan's complexion returned to normal, and when she turned around to look, her eyes froze!
The distance between Jin Yantang and her was less than five meters, Shang Kelan came back to her senses in a split second, and hurriedly bowed her knees and said: "My concubine sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Jin Yantang helped her up and sat down with her in the gazebo.

There was a cup of herbal tea in the gazebo, Shang Kelan suppressed the emotional fluctuations in her eyes, and poured a cup of tea for Jin Yantang: "Why did Your Majesty come to Xianya Palace suddenly, but what's the matter?"

Although she said that, she didn't seem to be curious at all, and seemed to be chatting just to find something to talk about.

Jin Yantang stretched out his hand to caress her face, curled his lips into a smile, and his stern face became even more charming: "I'm here to see Lan'er, what's wrong?"

Seeing a thin layer of sweat on Shang Kelan's white forehead, Jin Yantang frowned, and said coldly: "What's the matter with these slaves? The heat is so severe, and you don't know how to put more ice in your palace." Block, you should be punished!"

Seeing the flash of anger in his eyes, the depression in Shang Kelan's heart dissipated slightly.

She took Jin Yantang's hand from her face, smiled helplessly and said: "Frugality is prevalent in the palace now, and the number of ice cubes has been reduced in every palace. Your Majesty need not get angry."

Jin Yantang was silent for a moment...

Although the palaces have reduced their expenses, Kelan is honored as an imperial concubine, but there are not as many ice cubes in the palace as Concubine Ning, an ordinary concubine. It must be that those people in the House of Internal Affairs have tampered with it secretly!
Jin Yantang was very clear about the intrigues in the palace, and seeing that Shang Kelan didn't want to say more, he stopped asking.

At this time, Zhizi had just taken some fruits from Xiaoxia to cool off the summer heat and went to the gazebo in the small courtyard, but before she could go in, she was stopped by Fupu who was guarding the stone gate.

"Girl Zhizi, Your Majesty is talking to your empress inside, so you can wait outside as you please!"

Zhi Zi's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Your Majesty is coming?"

As she said that, she stretched out her neck and looked inside, and she really saw Jin Yantang and Shang Kelan sitting opposite each other in the gazebo!
The two seemed to be chatting about something, and Shang Kelan had a quiet smile on his face.

Seeing this, Zhizi couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said to Fupu with a smile: "Thank you, Manager Fu, for reminding me, this didn't let me spoil the good thing about my mother."

Saying that, Zhi Zi took a bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Fu Pu, and asked in a low voice: "Then where is your majesty resting tonight, can Manager Fu tell me?"

Fupu is open-minded when he sees Qian Qian, besides, he just told her about where the emperor slept, so it's not a big deal.

So he took the jadeite bracelet and was happy to sell it to Concubine Chen, so he smiled and waved to Zhizi.

Zhi Zi understood it, and listened to it.

I don't know what Fupu said to Zhizi, but the smile on Zhizi's face froze instantly...

At the same time, in the small courtyard, in the gazebo.

Jin Yantang came back to see Shang Kelan for the first time in the past few days, and the depression in Shang Kelan's heart dissipated a lot.

In front of her, Jin Yantang did not look like an emperor at all, just like the husband of ordinary people, he would put down his figure to coax his wife to make her happy.

Holding the red sandalwood carved cloud-pattern hairpin that Jin Yantang gave him, it is exquisite in workmanship, and it can be seen that it is from everyone's hands.

There was a little smile in Shang Kelan's eyes, and said: "Thank you for the hairpin specially made by Your Majesty for the concubine."

When she was Mrs. Jin Yantang, she inadvertently mentioned that if a wooden hairpin was made of red sandalwood, it would be extremely beautiful.

Unexpectedly, he still remembered what he had said.

Seeing her happy, Jin Yantang laughed along with her.

After taking the wooden hairpin from Shang Kelan's hand, he stood up, held Shang Kelan's shoulder with his slender and strong hand, and whispered in her ear, "I will put it on for you."

The warm breath sprayed on her neck, and Shang Kelan's fair face suddenly showed two blushes, looking extremely pretty.

After putting on the hairpin for Shang Kelan with gentle movements, when he looked at her again, his eyes couldn't help being startled.

Seeing this, Shang Kelan couldn't help but look at him nervously: "Your Majesty, does this concubine wear... look good?"

A look of amazement flashed in Jin Yantang's eyes, he hooked his lips into a smile, brushed the broken hair around her cheeks behind her ears, and then said seriously and softly: "My Lan'er, how can you not be beautiful?"

Shang Kelan breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little joy in her heart.

Firstly, it was because Jin Yantang still remembered what she had said; secondly, Jin Yantang came to see her specially today.

Unexpectedly, Jin Yantang's voice changed, and said: "It's almost three quarters you, Lan'er, I will come to see you again in the future."

After saying that, Jin Yantang released Shang Kelan from his arms without hesitation, then turned and left.

On the table, he didn't take a sip of the cup of tea that Shang Kelan poured for him, and he left in a hurry after seeing him for less than a quarter of an hour.

Shang Kelan watched his receding back, and didn't even have time to say "Farewell to Your Majesty"!
Her throat moved, she forced a smile, and slowly sat back in the gazebo, but the fingers holding the teacup were tightly closed, and her knuckles gradually turned white without knowing it.

At the stone gate, seeing that bright yellow figure approaching, Zhizi's throat moved, and she hurriedly stepped aside to salute him, "Servant, send your majesty respectfully!"

Jin Yantang paused and stopped in front of her.

Not long after, Zhizi heard a condescending voice floating down from above: "Take good care of Concubine Chen."

After finishing speaking, Jin Yantang didn't stay any longer, and left here at a brisk pace. Fupu respectfully followed behind him, and the master and servant soon disappeared.

After Zhizi watched them leave, she hurried out to the gazebo with the food box in her hand.

In the middle of the unitary hour, the evening wind suddenly picked up, blowing the hearts of the people with a cool air.

When Shang Kelan heard footsteps, she realized that her hands were wet. It was because she exerted too much force that all the water in the teacup spilled on her hands.

She came back to her senses, put down the teacup, raised her eyes and smiled at Zhizi: "Why are you back? Didn't you go to find Xiaoxia? Did you bring back rock sugar chowder?"

Shang Kelan suppressed her disappointment and anger, and spoke to Zhizi.

Zhizi sighed: "Your Majesty, you can't eat too much of that thing. Just now, the maid asked Xiaoxia to make this chilled mung bean soup to cool off the heat. How about you try it, Your Majesty?"

Saying that, Zhizi put the food box on the table and opened it, and brought out a bowl of cold and bright green mung bean soup, which smelled sweet and refreshing.

Shang Kelan took a sip, then put down the spoon, her eyes darkened: "This soup...is not sweet enough."

Eat more sweets, maybe it can suppress the bitterness in her heart?
