Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 77
Thinking about it, Shang Kelan deliberately showed a gloating smile.

Concubine Hua blushed, feeling ashamed and indignant, but she didn't know if the matter was true or not.

It feels like Shang Kelan's every word is to let her get into the trap, so many words are wrong, just ignore her!

Thinking about it, Concubine Hua gave Shang Kelan a cold snort, and turned her head to stop looking at her.

Shang Kelan took a sip of tea leisurely and did not pay attention to Concubine Hua.

As the first-rank daughter of the Left Prime Minister and the only imperial concubine of the Great Zhou Emperor, she is more qualified to be arrogant than anyone else.

She already knew that Concubine Hua and Concubine Ning had framed her, but she chose to keep silent, just to save face for Governor Li behind Concubine Hua.If it weren't for Governor Li's usefulness to Jin Yantang, Concubine Hua would have accompanied Concubine Ning to the Leng Palace for the last incident involving Concubine Ning!

The rest of the concubines watched Shang Kelan and Concubine Hua's tit-for-tat in silence, secretly swallowed their saliva, and turned to become more flattering and respectful to Shang Kelan.

After about a stick of incense, the queen mother, dressed in a black background with gold thread trim and embroidered with nine phoenix and beast patterns, came out.

"The Empress Dowager is here!"

Following the announcement from the servant, all the concubines knelt down and saluted: "The concubine sees the empress dowager, the empress dowager is a thousand years old!"

"No courtesy, sit down, the Ai family has something to say."

After everyone sat down, the queen mother took the main seat.

Shang Kelan raised her eyes and inadvertently glanced at the Empress Dowager, only to find that the Empress Dowager was dressed extremely formally today, and her expression was also very majestic.

The girl in red standing next to her is Zhao Kehan.

Slender and beautiful, with jewels on her body, people will feel admiration from a distance!

Just like the Queen Mother, today's Zhao Kehan ​​is also very brightly dressed, his expression is no longer the timidity of the first meeting, but with a confident smile.

Normal people showing such a smile would only make people feel disgusted, but Zhao Kehan's smile made everyone feel that she should be so proud and beautiful when she was born.

When they first met, Zhao Kehan ​​hid his sharpness; today, Zhao Kehan's noble spirit is revealed all over his body, and he no longer hides his clumsiness at all.

After everyone quieted down, the Empress Dowager scanned the surrounding people, and announced in a deep voice: "At noon today, Ai's family set up a lotus appreciation feast in the pavilion next to the lotus pond in the Royal Garden. This lotus appreciation feast is for Haner. You held it to promote sisterhood with you, I wonder if you will show your face to attend the meeting?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the concubines changed.

Who among them is not from a noble family or a noble family?

Although Zhao Kehan ​​was a former princess, but now she is just a commoner, why does the Queen Mother still spoil her so much?
There was silence in the air for a while, but the queen said with a smile: "Today is the second day of July, which is the last good day when the lotus blooms. Miss Zhao invites everyone to admire the lotus at this time. Lai is here with my mother, and I will go to the Huxin Pavilion with Miss Zhao after noon."

Shang Kelan also smiled and said: "The concubine originally intended to reward the lotus, but Miss Zhao and the concubine thought of going together, saving the concubine a lot of preparation."

The empress and imperial concubine with the highest status didn't care about Zhao Kehan's behavior, and the concubines below couldn't show their face anymore, and they all smiled and agreed: "The concubines should prepare gifts for the banquet."

Seeing these concubines know each other, the empress dowager's majestic face softened a bit.

After she patted Zhao Kehan's hand with a smile, she looked at the crowd and said, "Also, now that Concubine Ning has been thrown into the cold palace, the palace power in her hand has also been handed over to Concubine Chen, but Concubine Hua has been dealing with the affairs of the harem for so long. Time, but you can't even identify a liar, Aijia sees that you don't have the ability to control the palace power, so let the palace power in your hands be handed over to the queen!"

Up to now, the Queen Mother still remembers the palace power in her hands!

Concubine Hua's face darkened, and resentment instantly appeared in her eyes.

She gritted her teeth, and said unwillingly: "Empress Dowager, this concubine knows it's wrong, and this concubine was deceived by lard that day, so there is such an unintentional mistake, but after all, this concubine has managed the affairs of the palace for so long , The empress has just returned to the palace, I am afraid it will be difficult to handle the palace affairs, the concubine has been in charge of the palace affairs for three years, and has already learned the rules by heart..."

The queen mother waved her hand, and didn't listen to her continue, but said with a strong attitude: "Concubine Hua, the Ai family is not discussing with you, the queen is the master of the harem, and the power of the palace should be in charge of the queen, then Even the phoenix seal you withheld privately should be returned to the queen today!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar immediately!
"It's no wonder Concubine Hua is so confident that she is in charge of the Phoenix Seal?"

Everyone whispered, with surprise on their faces.

Concubine Hua blushed, not knowing whether it was from embarrassment or anger.

Although she was greedy and took the queen's phoenix seal, the queen has never asked her about it in recent years, so she hid the phoenix seal in the palace. Since she is only a second-rank concubine and cannot use the phoenix seal, so Feng Yin placed beside him.

It can also be regarded as a way for Concubine Hua to quench her thirst by looking at plum blossoms.

It's just the queen mother, how would she know that Feng Yin is in her palace?

Even though she was unwilling in every possible way, Concubine Hua still clenched her handkerchief tightly, and said: "The concubine obeys the order, and I will hand over the palace affairs to the emperor in two days..."

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, the queen who had been silent all this time blocked the way, and then she bowed her knees to the queen mother, and said with a smile: "Mother, the concubine is indeed not familiar with palace affairs, and it must be very difficult to handle. The Japanese general handled the affairs of the East Palace very smoothly, why not hand over the palace affairs in the hands of Concubine Hua to Concubine Chen, what does the Queen Mother think?"

The queen's words were like a blockbuster, which caused an uproar among the crowd.

Shang Kelan's eyes flickered slightly, she didn't make a sound, just took a sip of tea lightly, and looked at the queen and queen mother quietly.

Zhao Kehan ​​stood quietly beside the queen mother, looking at the concubines in the hall calmly, as if he didn't care about palace affairs.

The queen mother frowned when she heard the words, and looked at the queen with dissatisfaction: "Since you are a queen, you can't be so petty, it's time to learn how to handle palace affairs!"

A few days after she warmed up the palace power, the queen mother will take the palace power away from her. This thought is clearly written on the queen mother's face, so why should the queen make such a fuss?

It's better to hand over the palace power to Concubine Chen. Anyway, Concubine Chen has a strong background, so how these people will fight for the palace power at that time has nothing to do with her.

The empress couldn't understand how wise she was to protect herself.

So, she gave a wry smile, and said helplessly: "Oh, my concubine burned incense and worshiped Buddha these few years, and she has long since ignored worldly affairs. If the queen mother insists on this concubine to take charge of the palace power, it would really be embarrassing for my concubine. I am really serious about these things. Nothing."

Obviously everyone wanted palace power, but when it came to the queen, how did it become a terrifying creature like poisonous insects and ferocious beasts?
It can be seen that the queen is really timid and cowardly, she can do nothing but smooth things over!

Just when everyone had this thought in their hearts, Shang Kelan narrowed his eyes slightly.

A dark light flashed in her eyes as she looked at the queen, and she thought to herself: Is this queen really as free from greed as she appears on the surface?Why did he push the imperial power onto her over and over again?
If it was a coincidence to evade Concubine Ning's palace power last time, how should I explain the evasion of Concubine Hua's palace power this time?
