Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 318 Stiff Relationship
When His Majesty comes to the Harem, he will not go to other places except the Xianya Palace and the Compassionate Ning Palace. The concubines in the Central Palace think that "the first thing to do is to get the moon if you are close to the water", but it is a pity that the concubine Chen does not give them face. No hospitality.

Therefore, in the cold weather, you can also see many concubines wearing big cloaks, strolling in the snow in twos and threes at the gate of Xianya Palace.

When the queen mother came over, she saw such a scene.

The sedan chair stopped at the door, and the concubines' eyes lit up, and they saluted one after another: "The concubine sees the empress dowager!"

Zhizi invited the queen mother to come over according to Shang Kelan's wishes. Seeing this scene, she had no choice but to suppress the urge to hold her forehead, and stood silently beside the queen mother.

The queen mother glanced around, looked at these concubines with some confusion and said, "It's so cold, why do you come here for a walk?"

"Uh……"

The concubines looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Jia Zhaoyi, who is usually the most talkative, did not come because she heard that Yuxuan was recuperating, so she introduced an inconspicuous concubine, and explained to the Queen Mother submissively: "My Lady, the concubines are just passing by the Xianya Palace, and by the way, they are blessed by Your Majesty. ..."

This remark immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the concubines, who pushed her and complained: "What nonsense is she talking about? Can she speak?"

The queen mother just thought it was funny: "Okay, it's so cold today, don't freeze your body to death, go back soon!"

Since the queen mother ordered, who else would dare to stay here?
Unexpectedly, their majesty did not meet, but met a queen mother.

As a result, all the well-dressed women returned to their respective bedrooms without any success.

Zhizi breathed a sigh of relief, at this moment, Wanqin said to the servant who was carrying the sedan chair, "You guys go and have a rest, the sedan chair is put in a shed to cover it, so as not to let the snow fall."

"Yes, Aunt Wanqin!"

Several servants saluted Wanqin and nodded yes, then when Wanqin and Zhizi supported the Queen Mother approaching the Xianya Palace, they carried the sedan chair into the shed in the outer courtyard to cover it.

At this time, in the bedroom.

Hearing the sound of opening the curtain, Shang Kelan looked up, got up and greeted with a smile: "Empress Dowager, I have been waiting for you for a while, many dishes are waiting for you to come, I know you can't eat spicy food , I specially made clear soup with seafood for you, try it."

As she spoke, the Empress Dowager Fu sat down beside Jin Yantang, took the cloak she was wearing and hung it aside.

Jin Yantang's expression was a little stiff, but under the hint of Shang Kelan's eyes, he poured a cup of tea for the Queen Mother, put a piece of tofu in it, and then said in a soft voice, "Queen Mother, try this tofu, it has just been boiled."

On the side, Shang Kelan also echoed: "Yes, Empress Dowager, Your Majesty knew that you were coming, so he used the time to put this tofu into the pot. It just so happens that the time is just right!"

Looking at the tofu in the bowl, the queen mother said with some dissatisfaction: "The Ai family only likes to eat meat."

Shang Kelan put away the chopsticks and said nothing, Jin Yantang couldn't help but frowned, and brought vegetables for her: "When my father was here, I told you to eat less meat, and the imperial physician also told you to eat more vegetables, you should put your health first! "

The queen mother reluctantly picked up the chopsticks and turned over the things in the bowl, and said: "I stayed in the temple for a long time before, praying for you every day, and I am used to eating vegetarian food, but the vegetarian food in the palace is not very good. I finally like it." Let's eat meat, you don't allow Ai's family to eat it!"

"It's like just now, Concubine Chen asked someone to invite Ai's family to dinner. It was cold and windy, Ai's family didn't want to come, but for your sake, Ai's family came anyway!"

Jin Yantang couldn't help getting up helplessly and apologized: "The son thanked the queen mother for giving me some thin noodles."

Seeing that the tense atmosphere between the mother and son eased a bit, Shang Kelan stood up and said, "Oh, I didn't pay attention, most of the dishes were gone. Empress Dowager, please wait with Your Majesty, and this concubine will go get some vegetables."

With that, she went out.

In the bedroom, only Jin Yantang and the Queen Mother were left.

As soon as Shang Kelan left, there was no personal active atmosphere. Jin Yantang also knew that the Queen Mother was a stubborn ass, but he was also a person of few words, and he was used to keeping a straight face all year round. A natural smile.

At this moment, he is no exception.

Although his expression still looked a bit cold, the movements of Jin Yantang's hands were warm.

He remembered the Empress Dowager's favorite dishes and the tea she was used to drinking, so he asked Fupu to prepare ginseng tea and Wanqin to prepare wintersweet cake.

The queen mother couldn't help but looked at Jin Yantang in surprise and said, "Why are there winter plums in the palace?"

At the beginning, Zhao Kehan's disfigurement was caused by her allergy to wintersweet, so the queen mother ordered someone to cut down the plum grove in the imperial garden.

And Jin Yantang stopped him after learning about this, and because of this, his relationship with the Queen Mother became tense. He sometimes wanted to tell the Queen Mother that Zhao Kehan ​​was no longer the same Zhao Kehan ​​as before, but the Queen Mother defended her many times instead of upholding justice for Concubine Chen. As a result, Taijin Yantang went to the Compassionate Palace less and less frequently, and a estrangement developed between mother and son.

Hearing what the queen mother said, Jin Yantang explained while serving vegetables: "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. When it is cold, the fragrance will spread far. Concubine Chen loves the wintersweet the most, so she moved the wintersweet from the Imperial Garden two times. Come here."

The Queen Mother suddenly realized, and said, "So that's how it is."

She said, but she also looked away from Jin Yantang's face, and said a little uncomfortable: "Tang'er, do you think that the mother of the Ai family is too much? After all, no matter what happens in the palace, as long as Han'er If you say a word, the Ai family will defend her, so that Concubine Chen suffers a lot of grievances."

The Empress Dowager herself knows what she looks like to Concubine Chen.

Jin Yantang kept chopsticks. Although he said that the queen mother should not eat too much meat, he still picked up a lot of meat slices and meatballs for her.

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Jin Yantang said, "Queen Mother, can you tell me why you favor Concubine Jia so much?"

Outside the door, Zhi Zi and Wan Dong were also engrossed while guarding the door, not forgetting to listen to their words.

At the same time, Fupu and Shang Kelan went to the side hall to talk, and asked Xiaoxia to prepare the hot pot dishes and put them outside the door early in the morning.

In the room, the queen mother sighed, and then replied: "Oh, after all, our Jin family owes her. Why doesn't the Ai family know that Han'er sometimes uses some tricks? But don't forget, she saved her before. You, who saved the only blood of the Jin family, must repay your kindness!"

After hearing this, Jin Yantang's eyes flickered, he put down his chopsticks, and said softly: "Mother, if your son is an ordinary person, you have nothing to blame for thinking so, but now, I am the emperor, leaving her in the palace to take care of her until she grows old is already the best thing for her." Good to repay the favor, I promised Lan'er back then, she will be the only one in this life!"

Hearing what Jin Yantang said, the Empress Dowager frowned coldly, let go of her chopsticks, and said strangely: "Look, you can only protect Concubine Chen, so what's the difference between you and Ai's family? That's it, Ai's family has nothing to say to you, It's just that if you make Han'er sad again in the future, Aijia will definitely not let you go!"

As soon as the voice fell, the queen mother got up and left!
