Chapter 385 New Year's Eve
This history book is the record before Zhao Kehan's identity was revealed, and now everyone knows that Concubine Jia is the former princess.

But Jin Yantang's gaze was always fixed on the words "the first emperor loved his daughter".

His eyes were deep, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes: he knew the late emperor's love for Zhao Kehan, even when he killed the late emperor, the late emperor begged him to let Zhao Kehan ​​go.

It doesn't make sense that the first emperor had prepared fiefdoms for his sister Zhao Yue, younger brother Zhao Que, and love general Cao Yi, but left nothing for Zhao Kehan.

Suddenly, he froze for a moment, recalling the scene of seeing Zhao Kehan ​​again.

After the death of the first emperor, many concubines and concubines in the palace fled, and Zhao Kehan ​​was also missing.

After three years, Jin Yantang brought back Zhao Kehan, who was boarding in the Zhao Mansion in Zhejiang Province, during his inspection tour in Zhejiang Province.

Has Zhao Kehan ​​been in the Zhao residence for the past three years?How did she leave the palace in the first place?
Thinking about it, Jin Yantang gradually revealed a deep meaning in his eyes.

Then, he raised his eyes to look outside the door, and said, "Come on, call Master Li from Dali Temple!"

At this time, Jin Yantang realized that he seemed to know very little about this concubine Jia.

Or in other words, this Concubine Jia has hidden more things than he imagined.

……

Three days passed quickly, and the New Year's Eve was here.

On this day, not only the outside of the palace, but even the palace was very lively.

Early in the morning, Shang Kelan got up to wash and wash, and took all the concubines to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

At this time, in the main hall, the queen mother sat on the main seat, looked at the concubines with satisfaction and said: "This new year is coming soon, you guys, whoever gives birth to a fat grandson to the Ai family first, the Ai family will reward you!" A gift to her."

Before and after the Chinese New Year, everyone was looking for auspiciousness, and the concubines who came to pay their respects today also specially dressed up, who wouldn't point to the bright and beautiful clothes so that they can be compared with others?
Therefore, it can be said that "a hundred flowers are blooming" in this hall.

Shang Kelan wore an apricot-colored jacket with a stand-up collar embroidered with red plums. The collar and cuffs were inlaid with gold trim. She wore a ruby ​​head on her jet-black hair, which was very elegant.

After hearing what the queen mother said, she smiled slightly and said: "The sisters are blessed with the blessing of the queen mother, maybe your majesty will have a grandson in the next year?"

Jia Zhaoyi also laughed and said: "What the concubine Chen said is that the concubine will also be here to wish the concubine Chen a happy birthday!"

Concubine Chen was favored, and all the concubines were envious and jealous, so they had to say a few harsh words, but on this good day today, everyone also picked up auspicious words to say.

Every time you say something to me, the queen mother is immediately amused.

The queen mother hurriedly waved her hands, and said: "Oh, are your mouths wiped with honey today? The words you said are so sweet to Aijia's heart, no matter what, it's not early at this time, your family must have arrived at the gate of the palace Now, let’s go to welcome our respective families.”

During the Chinese New Year in the palace, concubines of the fourth rank and above have the opportunity to reunite with their relatives in the outer palace.

As soon as the queen mother spoke, all the concubines were overjoyed, they all stood up and said to the queen mother: "Thank you, queen mother, my concubine will leave!"

After they left, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face faded a bit.

Wanqin helped her to come to Shang Kelan, Shang Kelan smiled at her and said: "Empress Dowager, my concubine let someone set off fireworks in the imperial garden, and someone will light the fireworks at five o'clock tonight, when the time comes , it must be extremely lively in the palace, you can also see it in the Compassion Ning Palace."

The Empress Dowager shook her head, and said with some disappointment: "Oh, this Han'er complained of illness as soon as she came back, and she kept her house behind closed doors all day long. I wonder if she was complaining that the family didn't allow His Majesty to spoil her?"

Shang Kelan's expression remained unchanged, and he gently persuaded: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Now that it's New Year's Eve, there are many people who miss you, the Queen Mother. I heard that the Yun family who had a good relationship with the General's Mansion in the past has also been killed. Your Majesty has invited you into the palace, and you are sitting in the Xinyue Pavilion right now, and the old matriarch of the Yun family is also here, Empress Dowager, do you want to meet?"

Hearing this, the queen mother was overjoyed instantly, and looked at her: "Old Madam Yun is here? Why doesn't Ai's family know about it? Hurry up, take Ai's family to Xinyue Pavilion to meet her!"

Shang Kelan hurriedly supported her and said: "Empress Dowager, please slow down, Your Majesty said that he wanted to give you a surprise, and now there are only Old Madam Yun and a grandson left in the Yun family. You also want to settle in the city, so you won’t have to worry about seeing the old lady in the future!”

As soon as the words came out, the queen mother was relieved, slowed down, and said: "So that's the case, that's fine, by the way, Wanqin, go and get the donkey-hide gelatin velvet antler and snow lotus ginseng from Aijia, all kinds Prepare more fragrant tea and supplements, remember to ask Old Madam Yun to take them back later, understand?"

The queen mother had just walked two steps, so she gave Wanqin instructions.

Wanqin replied respectfully: "Yes, Empress Dowager."

After that, he retreated.

Shang Kelan supported the queen mother, and Yuliu followed behind them.

Xinyue Pavilion is not far from Compassionate Ninggong, just near Zhonggong, and it only takes 10 minutes to get there by sedan chair.

……

Xinyue Pavilion is the place where empresses and concubines of all dynasties received their relatives. It is divided into east and west halls.The east hall receives male relatives, and the west hall receives female relatives.

At this moment, the two halls are extremely lively, with members of different families chatting with each other, each with their annual gifts.

In the west hall, Mrs. Shang is sitting on the first chair on the left. She is wearing an orange embroidered wintersweet skirt jacket with green borders on the hem, and a green jade hairpin on her hair.

Sitting next to her, the woman in pink and jeweled is Zhang Baozhi.

Zhang Baozhi's eyes looked around, staying on the teacup for a while, and staying on the incense burner and hanging paintings for a while, his eyes were shining, as if he saw money.

Mrs. Shang couldn't help but rolled her eyes, but she saw that Mrs. Zhang, who came with Zhang Baozhi, was even more exaggerated. She actually held Yu Ruyi on the Eight Treasures Pavilion, stroking it carefully, her eyes were full of greed!
Immediately, Mrs. Shang shook her head and looked away from them.

At this time, the women who were standing by the door and chatting heard a movement, and only heard them say:
"Huh? This old lady looks strange, which old lady in the capital is she?"

"Oh, why would a man come in?"

"These two people don't seem to have seen each other in the capital?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Shang subconsciously looked towards the door, but saw the crowd receding to both sides, a handsome young man with a shy expression walked in with the help of an old lady with gray temples and calm eyes.

The old lady looked to be in her seventies and eighties, wearing a crimson dress and a white fur cloak. Although her eyes were a little cloudy, the calmness in her eyes made one feel that she was not angry and pretentious.

Although these women were discussing in low voices, they did not dare to step forward.

Seeing this old lady, Mrs. Shang's eyes lit up, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "Old Madam Yun, long time no see!"

Mrs. Yun?
Everyone looked at Mrs. Shang and Mrs. Yun with puzzled expressions, and whispered to each other.

"Mrs. Shang seems to be familiar with her. Could it be that Mrs. Yun has a lot of background?"

"But we don't seem to have seen her at all!"

"It's better to be careful in everything, don't offend me for now, you see, even Mrs. Zuo Xiang is so polite to her!"

No matter what outsiders say, Mrs. Yun showed a kind smile on her calm face when she saw Mrs. Shang, and said, "So it's Mrs. Shang, Yun Qing, haven't you met your Aunt Shang?"

The young man who supported her hurriedly saluted Mrs. Shang: "Yun Qing, the young master of the Yunjiabao, has met Mrs. Shang."
