Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 387 The Princess Arrives
The queen mother and Mrs. Shang were not at odds with each other. Seeing the queen mother talking to Mrs. Yun, Mrs. Shang served tea by herself.

Yun Qing lowered his head again, and stood obediently beside Old Madam Yun, but suddenly heard a gentle voice: "The daughter of the Shang family has seen Old Madam Yun."

Hearing this, he raised his eyes quietly, but saw that Shang Kelan came to the old matriarch Yun at some time, and bowed to the old matriarch Yun to salute.

Old Madam Yun seemed to smile only when facing Mrs. Shang and the Queen Mother.

Seeing Shang Kelan, she only raised her eyes for a glance, then looked away, raised her hand to Shang Kelan and said, "Concubine Chen is very polite, you don't have to be so polite when you get along with Laoshen, as Laoshen and the Shang family are old acquaintances. "

Shang Kelan smiled sweetly: "That's good, my concubine is worried that the old matriarch will feel uncomfortable coming to the palace, so I haven't asked this young master yet?"

As she spoke, her eyes turned and fell on Yun Qing.

"this is me……"

Yun Qing's face was slightly red, and she hurriedly bowed her hands and saluted, "Return to your mother, the young master of Cao Min Yun's Castle, Yun Qing."

Yunqing?

Shang Kelan's eyes moved slightly, and she read: "Beside the stream, there are five clouds and clear jade, and the pine is divided into eight sides to form a palace. Clouds are clear, a good name."

After finishing speaking, she bowed her knees to the old matriarch Yun, and said: "Old matriarch, my concubine will take Yun Qing to the East Hall first, excuse me."

"Well, let's go."

The east hall is where the male guests are located, and it is really against the rules to let Yun Qing stay in the west hall.

With the approval of Old Madam Yun, Shang Kelan took Yun Qing to the East Hall.

In the East Hall, Prime Minister Zuo lived alone in a corner, and many officials rushed to toast him, saying good things in their mouths.

From the eyes of everyone, it seemed that the Zuo Xiangfu was suppressed by His Majesty, but in the palace, they still had to respect the Zuo Xiang.

Zuo Xiang smiled and chatted with everyone, and ordinary people may have been confused for a long time, but Zuo Xiang was more than enough to deal with it.

At this moment, the waiter at the door reported: "The concubine Chen is here!"

Concubine Chen?What are you doing in the East Hall?
Everyone was curious, and when they bowed to the people at the door, they all raised their eyes and looked at Shang Kelan quietly.

I saw the slender woman walking in, and after asking everyone to excuse me, she brought a young man to Prime Minister Zuo and said, "Father, this is Yun Qing, the young master of Yun Family Castle. Please take care of Mrs. Yun for a while."

Hearing this, Zuo arched his hands towards Yun Qing, and said with some surprise: "Yun Qing? You child, you have not seen for many years, but you have grown so big? Come, sit beside this old man and talk."

He said, smiling at Yun Qing.

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Shang Kelan looked to the Prime Minister on the left and asked, "Father has met Mr. Yun before?"

Prime Minister Zuo stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "That's right, Mr. Yun came to Bazhou when he was two years old, but he didn't expect Mr. Yun to have such a demeanor after so many years. I am amazed. Speaking of which, you should Call me brother."

Yun Qing's eyes moved slightly, but Shang Kelan smiled, looked at Yun Qing, and said, "Young Master Yun, please wait for a while, I'm going back to the West Hall first."

As soon as the words fell, she nodded to the two of them, and then walked towards the west hall.

Yun Qing glanced at her from behind, wondering what she was thinking.

At the time of You, the sky was not yet completely dark, and guests were already seated in the Jinluan Hall, creating a brightly lit and bustling scene.

After all the guests were seated, the concubine began to enter the Golden Luan Hall one at a time.

Every time a concubine enters, she will be notified.

Shang Kelan was already sitting next to His Majesty. She changed into a bright red long-sleeved floor-length dress embroidered with five-tailed phoenix in gold thread, and covered with a red trousers that reached to her calves. She looked dignified and majestic. .

The queen mother is on the left, and she is on the right. Although it seems that the empress should be treated, her position is temporarily added to the side of His Majesty, and it is not against the rules to be given the seat by His Majesty.

In addition, the queen's phoenix has nine tails, and the phoenix used by the imperial concubine has five tails.

In the Jinluan Palace, Jin Yantang rarely showed indifference. Instead, he talked with his courtiers and concubines with a smile on his face, looking easy to get along with.

In the Golden Luan Hall, there are staggered cups of wine, singing and dancing, and it is a lively scene.

The person sitting in the first position on the lower left is Concubine Jia. She is wearing a wide-sleeved long dress embroidered with blue luan in Yixi color, covered with a scarlet beige, and wearing a gold step shaker on her hair bun. Delicate, with an indifferent expression, her eyes seem to be covered by clouds, making it difficult for people to see her emotions clearly.

Seeing Shang Kelan talking to Jin Yantang with a smile on his face, Zhao Kehan ​​raised his red lips slightly, held up his wine glass and stood up to respect Jin Yantang: "Your Majesty, my concubine is here to wish you all the best in the New Year, the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the peace of the people!"

Jin Yantang's eyes flickered slightly, he looked at her, then raised his glass as a signal, and drank it down with his head raised.

The same is true for Zhao Kehan, but just as the rim of the cup touched his lips, a palace maid in Tsing Yi hurried over outside, knelt down in the hall with a panicked expression, and said, "Qi...Qi Your Majesty! Chen Zhaoyi is dead!"

At the beginning, everyone couldn't hear what she said clearly, and the music and dancing continued.

But after a while, Jin Yantang raised his hand, and everything stopped.

He looked down at the palace maid and said, "You are telling me again, what happened?"

In the main hall, the servant girl knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Servant... the servant saw that Chen Zhaoyi hadn't attended the banquet for a long time, so I went to Changle Palace to invite her over. No... I didn't expect that there was no one in Changle Palace long ago. , there is still a corpse smell in the bedroom!"

"Wow!"

These words immediately caused an uproar, no one expected that a concubine would die on New Year's Eve!

On the dragon chair, Jin Yantang glanced at the palace maid, and said calmly: "Since Chen Zhaoyi died unexpectedly, you should send someone to dispose of her body. Don't spare me here."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Kehan ​​narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Jin Yantang with a somewhat unfriendly look.

"Yes, the slaves retire."

The palace maid said, and was about to leave, but heard a notification sound from the door:
"Princess Lanzhou is here!"

Immediately, the guests in the Golden Luan Hall became curious and couldn't help but look towards the door, whispering in their mouths.

"Why is there a long princess? I have never heard that His Majesty has any sister!"

"So you are ignorant, right? I heard that the eldest princess of Lanzhou seems to be the elder sister of the late emperor!"

"Huh? Why did she come here?"

Not long after, amidst the discussion among the crowd, a woman in a white long dress embroidered with begonia flowers came in, covered with a long apricot-colored gown with red borders.

There are fine wrinkles on this woman's face, but they are not obvious. She wears a white jade hairpin on her head, and her face is indifferent.

After entering the main hall, she bowed to Jin Yantang and respectfully said, "See Your Majesty!"

Jin Yantang's eyes flickered, and he stood up and greeted her with a smile: "His Royal Highness, I have been waiting for a long time, please get up."

As he spoke, he gave the eldest princess a hand.

But saw Zhao Kehan ​​crying and throwing himself into the arms of the eldest princess, with a sad expression: "Auntie! Woooo...my sister, my sister is dead!"

As soon as the eldest princess saw Zhao Kehan, seeing her eyebrows and eyes similar to those of the late emperor, her eyes turned red, and she lovingly stroked her face and said, "What's the matter? Just say it, aunt will make the decision for you!"
