Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 8

"It's Concubine Ning."

Zhizi's eyes are good, and she can see Concubine Ning standing at the path from a distance, but the path to the imperial study is far away, what does she mean by taking the long way?
"Ma'am, shall we still go there?"

Zhi Zi always felt that Concubine Ning was sitting there, as if she was waiting for someone.

"Let's go,"

She raised the corners of her lips, "What are you afraid of, that trail is not just for her to walk alone."

The weather was hot and dry, and she felt refreshed after walking two steps. The path was very good, the shade was rustling, and the shadows of the green leaves swayed, dispelling a large amount of heat.

"My sister is here too, but you discovered my sister's sneaking."

Concubine Ning stood and turned around, the hair on her forehead was not messed up at all, but there were slight beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Why, isn't my sister here too?"

Shang Kelan frowned, did she think too much?

"Then let's rest for a while. This place is a good place. Others only think that the road is far away, but I think this shaded greenery has a special charm."

Shang Kelan nodded, the two exchanged a few words of pleasantries, and then walked towards the imperial study together. At this time, there was no one in the hall, and the emperor was resting, so only the eunuch who led them in was left behind.

As soon as they entered, the two saw Concubine Hua sitting on the seat, eating melons and fruits peeled by the maid, with a very relaxed expression on her face.

"Sister Hua, if the fruit peel or juice gets on it, it's a bad thing. I'm afraid I have to trouble Eunuch Fu to change some paper."

Shang Kelan rolled up her lavender tulle skirt, and slightly hooked her lips, but she looked serious.

Concubine Hua just looked up at her, the anger flashed across her face, and she put on a mocking tone: "What are you talking about? The melons and fruits are also used to relieve the heat a little without using ice."

Shang Kelan raised her eyebrows slightly, people in this palace would go to get their daily ice cubes, what Concubine Hua meant was that her palace no longer needed ice to cool off the heat, and in order to win favor, she really could bear it , so, I'm afraid she has to help her well!
"That being the case, we should really learn from my sister."

Shang Kelan casually agreed, and looked at Yushufang without any trace. She always felt that something was wrong today, but no matter how bold the two of them were, they shouldn't have attacked in this place. She forcibly suppressed the discomfort in her heart Sit down and watch the two of them copying books quietly.

After a while, Concubine Hua couldn't sit still anymore, she raised her head and glanced at the little eunuch standing next to her, she called the maid silently, found a reason to send the little eunuch away, and put down her pen to relax for a while.

Shang Kelan frowned, this book is so thick, the two of them are copying here, they will definitely not be safe and secure all the time, aside from Concubine Ning, Concubine Hua will definitely not be safe today, three women in one drama , she was also feeling tired.

"Why didn't sister write?"

She opened her lips lightly, and the hotness in her body also rose. There was no ice in the palace, because they were punishments, so naturally it was not allowed, but although someone was fanning, it was the same as if there was no one, and the fragrant sweat soaked through the underwear .

"Why is my sister so rigid? This horse is tired from running and needs to rest, let alone people?"

'The horse runs, but it is the duty of others. You copy books because you made mistakes, and the two have nothing to do with each other. Shang Kelan slandered silently, but still nodded, with an expression that seemed to sound reasonable.

"That's right, I'm tired of copying, and I want to tell you something interesting."

Concubine Hua paused, her tone couldn't tell whether it was gloating or she just thought it was interesting: "When I passed by the Jiuqu lotus pond just now, I wanted to cool off, but who would have thought that the little palace lady on the opposite bank didn't know what she was doing, but she jumped from the bridge It fell, and just as I raised my head, I saw her splashing in the water."

"Which maid of honor is so careless?"

Concubine Ning took the opportunity to answer, and Shang Kelan looked at her indifferently, waiting for her to continue.

"I don't know about that. I was taken aback, so I hurried over to eat some fruit to calm my shock, and I felt much better."

As Concubine Hua spoke, her eyes also drifted away, as if... a little malicious?

"I asked you to copy the book, why did you talk about eating it?"

A voice sounded, and the three of them did not dare to say any more. They knelt down together. Shang Kelan looked at the ground with a bad premonition in her heart. It might not be easy for the maid to fall into the water, but at the moment, she has no way to get out for the time being. .

"Your Majesty forgive me, it's the fault of the concubine. The concubine looked at the sweat on the fingertips of the two sisters, and the forehead was covered with it. I was afraid that the writing was lost in thought, and the sweat dripped on the paper. I was afraid that it would be serious again. After writing, let’s take a break.”

Shang Kelan took the initiative to plead guilty, and folded her hands on her forehead, and many beads of sweat on her forehead rubbed on her forehead.

Jin Yantang glanced around for a while, seeing that it was indeed the case, he waved his hand and said a few words without mentioning it.

"However, I just heard Concubine Hua say that there is something to eat. The Imperial Study Room is not a place to eat. Do you not take the punishment seriously, or Concubine Hua, you did not sincerely admit your mistake?"

His voice was not loud, and the cold air of the large block of ice that he had just moved rushed towards his face, but Concubine Hua was still dripping with cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, this is wronging my sister. Since your Majesty ordered my concubine to look after the two sisters, I should do my best. It's just that Concubine Hua brought some melons and fruits to cool off the heat because there is no ice in the palace. .”

"There are no ice cubes in Concubine Hua's Palace. Is it because the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not provide enough?"

As soon as Jin Yantang's words came out, Concubine Hua immediately regained her spirits. In her heart, she felt that Shang Kelan was stupid. She made this gesture today just to please her. Didn't she just give her a pillow because she was sleepy?
"Of course it is enough, but today His Majesty has just taught his concubines to be frugal, so naturally he dare not waste it. There is not much ice, but a lot of silver."

As Concubine Hua said, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. She specially selected jewelry yesterday, and used the batch of jewelry that just entered the palace. It was old and charming, dignified and not luxurious. She couldn't believe it Less than the emperor's praise.

It's just that the hall was quiet, without saying a word, only two maids were left holding fans behind the seats to gently fan the cool air on the ice.

Jin Yantang pursed his lips, and cast a probing look at Shang Kelan. He thought that this concubine Hua was a bit arrogant, but it was better that she didn't need to use any brains, but now it seems that she has caused a lot of trouble.

Although ice cubes are troublesome, there are still more places that can be saved to make a fuss, but Concubine Hua's righteous words made him feel uneasy even when he was blowing cold air.

Shang Kelan received Jin Yantang's gaze, sighed slightly in her heart, and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine thinks that although frugality is necessary, if someone falls ill, there will be a lot of money for medicine, and I will feel uncomfortable."

"So what do you think?"

He didn't wait for Concubine Hua to speak, so he quickly picked it up, for fear of saying one, two, three.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Hua raised her head aggrieved.
