Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 52
After the heavy rain that day, it continued to rain for three consecutive days before the sky in the imperial palace was willing to clear up.

At the hour of Chen, the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

The harem concubines sit in two rows, the empress dowager and empress sit in the main seat, Shang Kelan sits in the first seat on the lower left of the empress dowager, followed by concubine Hua.

Seeing that Concubine Ning hadn't come yet, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but frowned: "What's the matter with Concubine Ning? The Ai family sent people to the various palaces to inform everyone that everyone must come to the Palace of Compassion , how dare she be late for these hours!"

All the concubines were silent, but the queen comforted her: "Quiet your anger, maybe there is something that has delayed you?"

Shang Kelan held the teacup in her hand and quietly took a sip of the fragrant tea.

Today she is wearing a lavender palace gown embroidered with orchids, combing her hair in a loose bun, with a jasper hairpin on her head, she looks very casual, but her expression is calm, revealing a sense of tranquility and tranquility.

After hearing the empress call "mother queen", the empress dowager's expression turned ugly again.

At this time, the gorgeously dressed Concubine Hua smiled coquettishly, and said: "Empress Dowager, when my concubine visited Concubine Ning the day before yesterday, she saw that Concubine Ning's face was very ugly and her body was very weak. I think there is really no way to come." May the Empress Dowager please greet her? It’s just that Concubine Ning is really serious, she didn’t even know to send someone to say something to the Empress Dowager.”

Jia Zhaoyi from below also echoed: "I don't know why, the weather has not been beautiful these few days, and it has been raining heavily, and this concubine is really bored, and I don't know why Concubine Ning is so weak all of a sudden? "

The Empress Dowager hates to hear people around her talk about illnesses, disasters, etc., so she waved her hands impatiently and said: "Okay, okay, it's very exciting to talk about Concubine Ning one by one. I have a serious matter to discuss with you."

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at the Queen Mother curiously.

The Queen Mother glanced at Chen Nanny, who lowered her head.

Not long after, a girl in red came out behind Nanny Chen.

The girl in red has a graceful figure and an extraordinary temperament. She walks like a lotus under her feet, which is pleasing to the eye.

Inadvertently, Shang Kelan glanced at her when he raised his head, and just one glance caused a strong sense of uneasiness in Shang Kelan's heart.

She couldn't help frowning slightly: Why did she feel such a feeling in her heart when she saw this girl?It was as if something important was about to be snatched away by the woman in red.

All the concubines looked at the girl in red curiously, and Concubine Hua also showed hostility when she saw her.

How could she not know this person?

In the past few days, she found Zhao Kehan's portrait in the palace, and she recognized at a glance that the girl in red was the Zhao Kehan ​​who lived in the palace as Concubine Ning said!
"Minister Zhao Kehan ​​sees the Empress Dowager!" Zhao Kehan ​​said, and was about to bow his head and kneel.

The Empress Dowager took a quick look at Chen Nanny, and Chen Nanny quickly helped Zhao Kehan ​​up and said, "Girl, the Empress Dowager has already spared you the ceremony, so you are doing this, so you are offending the Empress Dowager?"

Zhao Kehan ​​blushed, pursed his lips and remained silent.

The Empress Dowager actually exempted Zhao Kehan ​​from saluting, what a great gift!

For a moment, everyone's eyes on Zhao Kehan ​​couldn't help but change.

The Queen Mother walked down the stairs and held Zhao Kehan's hand with a smile, the majesty on her face completely disappeared.

The Queen Mother said to the concubines: "This Miss Zhao is from Ai's family, and she will live in the palace from now on. If you see her, don't play concubine temper with her, do you understand?"

Although the queen mother said it to them with a smile, the concubines could hear the warning from her words.

What's more, Mother Chen also made her words very clear just now, even the Queen Mother avoided Zhao Kehan's salute, if they and Zhao Kehan ​​confronted each other, how dare they let Zhao Kehan ​​salute them?
For a while, all the concubines smiled reluctantly, stood up and bowed their knees and said: "I know."

While saluting, Shang Kelan raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Miss Zhao.

But when her eyes touched her face, she couldn't help staring!It was really her, the former princess Zhao Kehan!

Why...why did Zhao Kehan ​​enter the palace, but she had no news at all?

Could it be that what the queen mother meant just now... Jin Yantang wants to accept her as his concubine?

For a moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through Shang Kelan's mind.

Her eyes were complicated, and she was holding the champagne in her hand tightly like that concubine Hua. Even though she didn't like to grow long nails, she could still feel the tingling pain in her palm.

When she came back to her senses, she saw that all the concubines had already sat back to their original positions, but she was the only one who was still in the posture of saluting.

Concubine Hua smiled when she saw her making a fool of herself.

The queen mother looked at her dissatisfied and said: "Concubine Chen, why are you still standing, why don't you sit back?"

Zhi Zi stood behind the concubine Chen's chair, with worry in her eyes.

At this time, a gust of fragrant wind hit, and then, a pair of slender and tender hands helped Shang Kelan up.

After Shang Kelan stood up, Zhao Kehan ​​withdrew his hand and said with a slight smile: "This lady is so beautiful, she looks familiar to a girl, but where have we met?"

Previously, Shang Kelan met this princess at the late emperor's palace banquet.

At that time, the princess was also dressed in red, arrogant and domineering, and she punished her for colliding with the color of her clothes, but thanks to Jin Yantang's words of help, Zhao Kehan ​​let her go.

Hearing this, Shang Kelan withdrew her hand and smiled at her: "Thank you Miss Zhao, maybe I look like an old friend you know, right? And I also have a feeling that I have known Miss Zhao for many years. "

These unclear and harsh words made many concubines in the hall puzzled.

Only a few concubines who knew Zhao Kehan's identity understood Shang Kelan's words.

At this time, Concubine Hua also came to Shang Kelan's side, and said to Zhao Kehan ​​in a strange manner: "Isn't it? Sister Concubine Chen, don't you think that this Miss Zhao is somewhat similar to the princess that the former emperor loved the most? Even the scar on the face...is exactly the same!"

With that said, Concubine Hua sneered and glanced at Zhao Kehan.

Like a frightened little rabbit, Zhao Kehan ​​retreated behind the Queen Mother, covering his face and wanting to cry.

Obviously the most taboo of others talking about her appearance.

The Empress Dowager immediately got angry, pointed at Concubine Hua and said, "Concubine Hua, Aijia sees that you have been gossiping a lot recently and you have nothing to do. How about Aijia rewarding you for copying "The Female Ring" three hundred times? What do you think?"

Three hundred times, so why not copy her hand?

Concubine Hua turned pale, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not, I know I'm wrong!"

The queen mother did not intend to spare her lightly, but instead planned to use this concubine Hua to make an example of others.

She pulled Zhao Kehan ​​to the main seat and sat down. While patting Zhao Kehan's back, she glanced at Concubine Hua faintly: "You said you knew your mistake, but you said, what did you do wrong?"

Concubine Hua bit her lip, and said: "The concubine shouldn't speak out to mock the scars on Miss Zhao's face, and hurt Miss Zhao's self-esteem..."

Standing beside Concubine Hua, Shang Kelan couldn't help shaking her head secretly for Concubine Hua: This Concubine Hua really likes to do things that make her "show off".
