Chapter 7
Jin Yantang lowered his head to review the memorial, and occasionally glanced at Shang Kelan out of the corner of his eye, seeing her rubbing her neck more and more frequently, finally couldn't help rubbing her forehead and said: "Okay, it's time for dinner, You guys go back first, come to the imperial study to copy the books by yourself these days, and just go back after copying."

The three of them responded in unison and retreated.

Concubine Hua was shaking her head full of jewels and wanted to say something, but Jin Yantang just mentioned the matter of wanting to save the harem, and she immediately resigned.

Shang Kelan was walking on the road, passing the garden path, and suddenly stopped!

Zhi Zi looked up at her and stood quietly by the side.

"Shh."

Shang Kelan stretched out her index finger to her mouth, and smiled softly, with a cunning that Zhizi had never seen on her face.

The thin rustling voice came from the ear, and it was a hasty pace again, with a distraught voice, "That little bastard, didn't he rely on her to marry His Majesty a few years in advance, why did he become so arrogant! The palace sees that she looks just average, this majesty is a ghost..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was blocked back by the confidant servant next to her, and as if she tripped again, she cursed angrily, and walked back quickly.

Shang Kelan waited for a while, and suddenly felt amused in her heart. She didn't intend to leave. Instead, she stretched out her finger and pointed to the side passage in the path. Zhizi nodded, and took out a stack of thin blankets from the little palace lady behind her. , Carefully tuck the corners and place them on top.

When she sat down, she was not as dignified as before, and she looked a little more lazy and casual.

But Concubine Hua has already left, so why did she sit down?After a short rest this afternoon, don't you still have to go to the imperial study to stare at them?
Zhizi wanted to remind her, but following her duty, she could only act in a hurry.

"I don't know why the servant girl looked at the empress, so she punished her more, but she also offended Concubine Hua."

Soon the voice next to the path rang out again, and this time, as expected, it was Concubine Ning, walking leisurely, with an expression on her face as if she had not been punished.

"Be cautious in your words and deeds. Apart from understanding your own mistakes, what else can I think?"

Shang Kelan tilted her head slightly, and through the green covering the path, she saw the corners of Concubine Ning's lips curled up, but she obviously quickened her pace, and lowered her head to say something to the maid next to her .

After watching the good show, she stretched out her hand to brush the broken hair by her ears, and there was a little more smile in her eyes.

"Let's go back."

Zhizi looked up at her, put away the cushions on the path, lowered her head and followed.

The smoke in the palace floated from the censer, and Shang Kelan was a little annoyed by the smell, so she ordered Zhizi to turn off the fire, and Yuan Ge brought the meals that had been prepared, and put them one by one.

"Sitting all morning, I don't have much appetite, just some soup."

Shang Kelan raised his eyelids, and asked seemingly casually, "I wonder if Concubine Hua and Concubine Ning have the appetite to eat today?"

Yuan Ge was laying out the vegetables, he paused with his hands, but didn't look up.

She said this because she wanted to ask Yuan Ge's thoughts. Although she came here through time travel, she came to this ancient time, like a big girl getting on the first sedan chair. Who knows what happened? Concubine, she was offended when she first came here, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to figure out her temperament.

It's just that Yuan Ge is staying in the palace. Although Jin Yantang allocated it to her, whether he cares about her or not is another matter.

She drank the soup calmly and asked someone to remove the dishes.

"Your Majesty, this servant has something to say."

Shang Kelan was not surprised, and waved his hand, telling the others to back off.

"Come on, this is the first time you have spoken to me since you came back to be the maid in charge of me."

"My lady..."

She opened her mouth, but still didn't say anything. In the two days since she first entered the palace, she didn't want to talk to Shang Kelan very much, so she didn't go forward to join in the fun. She didn't expect that she was waiting come by yourself.

"Okay, I don't mean to blame you, after all, you are someone close to His Majesty, and I have nothing to do with you."

If she couldn't hear those words again, she was out of her mind.

"Your Majesty, although this servant was someone close to His Majesty before, she has now been assigned to take care of Your Majesty. This time, this servant voluntarily asked for her order, and wanted to show her loyalty."

"Be faithful to me?"

Shang Kelan raised her eyelids, there was no other superfluous expression on her face, and Xian Zhong said at this moment, why wouldn't she think about following her as an imperial concubine at this time, but there are various dangers of entering the cold palace and being demoted, if she doesn't want to If you choose yourself, how can you be loyal to her?

But she didn't want to point it out, Zuo was just Jin Yantang who wanted to know something, and she didn't care, as long as she sent her away, out of sight and out of mind, she would come to her when there was something to do.

"Yes, I know that I can't fool my mother, so I don't dare to pretend to be smart. As a female official, although I am free, I can't compete with those officials above the court. I don't have the right to speak. It's better to serve my mother happily."

"That's true too."

She didn't speak, and fiddled with the soft armor on her hand, waiting for her to continue.

"Your Majesty has just come to the palace, and you are in a hurry, so you must know very little. In this way, the servants can talk to your Majesty about the relationship in the palace."

"No, I just need to talk to Ben Gong about how Concubine Hua and Concubine Ning are doing."

Shang Kelan always felt that Concubine Ning quickened her pace to chase after Concubine Hua, and she had an idea of ​​what she said, but she was still not sure what to do.

"As for Concubine Hua, she is arrogant, domineering and ambitious, but she is ill-informed and does not do things meticulously. She relies entirely on her confidantes, but she is not that stupid, otherwise she would not be able to get that position, Concubine Ning Well, it’s the one who knows what’s in his heart, the safest.”

"So in the harem, the latter was in power, but she was given the right to assist the sixth palace. Although she has no status, she is as powerful as that concubine Hua."

"So the two restrict each other, but they are cooperating?"

Shang Kelan raised her eyebrows. The two of them were used to each other, and it was obvious that the correct choice was to be unanimous and exclusive, and she was the one who favored the sixth palace as soon as she entered the palace.

Then she has counted in her heart...

"Although the two of them have a prominent family background, the empress is unshakable. Don't worry, but the harem is still on the sidelines. According to this servant, it is better for the empress to join hands with them."

join forces?

Shang Kelan laughed softly, and there was a bit of coquettishness inside: "Then tell me, Your Majesty, do you want me to do this?"

Yuan Ge was taken aback for a moment, knowing that she had said something wrong. She only wanted to temporarily hold her feet and settle down, but she forgot that the emperor's thoughts were the most important thing. Obviously, if the front court is unstable, the harem will be chaotic. I'm afraid even the great love can't resist it.

"Forget it, you go down first."

Shang Kelan called Zhizi, changed into light clothes, arranged her bun, and went to the imperial study room early, and had a conversation with Yuan Ge, she also had a general idea in her heart.

It's hot right now, and the sun shone in her eyes, so she couldn't see who the figure in the blue gauze was in front of her for a while...
