Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 125 The Uninvited Guest

In the Golden Luan Palace, the palace banquet of the Hungry Ghost Festival gradually changed, and everyone's thoughts gradually surfaced.

Even though there was a turbulent undercurrent among the concubines, the Xianya Palace was peaceful until now...

"Ma'am, Mother Chen is here!"

Shang Kelan was talking to Zhizi, Xiaoxia waited on him, but Wen Chun came to report in a hurry.

Judging by her expression, this Nanny Chen was not kind.

Shang Kelan's eyes darkened and he did not speak.

Zhi Zi frowned, threw the spoon into the white jade bowl with a "plop", and said impatiently: "What is this Chen Mama doing here again? Do you think my mother hasn't been grounded long enough?"

Shang Kelan shook her hand, smiled slightly, and said hoarsely: "It's okay, let her in."

With that said, she leaned back up again, allowing herself to sit upright.

Wen Chun took the order to retreat, and Zhi Zi hurriedly put a soft pillow behind her and covered her with a quilt.

After a while, Nanny Chen walked in.

Zhi Zi got up, saluted her, then sat back beside Shang Kelan, watching her vigilantly.

Chen Momo was accompanied by two maidservants, and the three of them respectfully saluted Shang Kelan: "Servant maidservant, see Concubine Chen."

Shang Kelan raised his hand to them, and said softly: "You guys, excuse me, you came here late at night, but what is the Queen Mother's will?"

Mother Chen smiled and said, "Return to Madam, this servant is following the instructions of the Empress Dowager, and I am here to invite Madam to participate in the palace banquet of the Hungry Ghost Festival. Please prepare for it. Go with this servant, and this servant will wait outside."

After finishing speaking, Mother Chen stood up and left, and went to wait outside the bead curtain.

Zhi Zi was furious, stared at her back and said, "What does Nanny Chen mean? Can't she see that you are unwell? Madam, you wait here. I will go talk to her and let her go back to the queen mother." Empress, you can just rest in Xianya Palace!"

Zhi Zi said, and as soon as she left, Shang Kelan took her hand and said calmly: "No need, if you refuse Nanny Chen, Nanny Chen will add more embellishments to your words, How about telling your Majesty and the Empress Dowager? At the palace banquet, important ministers, royal relatives and nobles, why should I ruin my reputation because of such a trivial matter?"

Speaking so many words in one breath, Shang Kelan felt as if his lungs were going to explode.

She couldn't help frowning, and after taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and leaned against the pillow.

Zhizi pursed her lips and clenched her fingers tightly, and then she let go of Shang Kelan and said, "The servant is going to ask Wan Dong to make up for you."

After finishing speaking, Shang Kelan nodded, Zhizi got up and left.

After a while, Wan Dong walked in.

After she saluted and stood up, she looked at Shang Kelan worriedly and said, "Your Majesty, you are weak now, can you walk around?"

It was so far from here to the Golden Luan Hall, and she was afraid that she would pass out if she walked halfway.

Shang Kelan shook her head, said with a wry smile: "Give me some makeup, make it thicker to cover the sickness on my face, and besides, let Fupu get ready for the sedan chair."

"Yes, madam!"

It was inconvenient for Shang Kelan to get up, so Wandong let her sit on the bed, brought her dowry to dress her up, and brought her a set of lavender orchid-embroidered palace clothes for her to change into.

Seeing this, Shang Kelan frowned, and said: "This color is too plain, I remember that the Shu brocade sent by His Majesty the day before yesterday was taken by Zhizi to the Jiaofang Division to make a robe, so you wear that one for me Bar!"

The Shu brocade was crimson, embroidered with cuckoo birds, very grand and luxurious, and the hem of the clothes was inlaid with round South Sea pearls of the same size, which made people shine when worn on the body!

Wandong hesitated for a moment, and said: "But ma'am, the fabric of that dress is heavy, I'm afraid your current situation..."

Hearing this, Shang Kelan pursed her lips and smiled, waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not so fragile that I can't even support a piece of clothing."

Her voice was hoarse, but it was not as unpleasant as before. If she spoke in a low voice, no one could hear the strange feeling.

Seeing this, Wandong had no choice but to change into that dress for her.

Before leaving, Zhizi brought the medicine that Zhiqiu made for her, and after Shang Kelan took it, she fed Shang Kelan a candied fruit, and then asked Wenchun and Zhiqiu to accompany her to the Golden Palace.

After the sedan chair was driven out, Nanny Chen and the others followed closely beside her.

After the group left Xianya Palace, Zhizi turned around and walked into the yard.

On the Hungry Ghost Festival, not only the palace banquets are held in the Jinluan Palace, but also the maids and servants in the Xianya Palace will gather together to celebrate the festival, and they will also go to the river in the Imperial Garden to put lanterns.

And this festival was presided over by Yuan Ge, Yuan Ge didn't know about Shang Kelan's accident, Shang Kelan explained it, and asked Zhizi and the four court ladies to keep their mouths shut.

At this time, in the courtyard, a group of maids and servants were chatting enthusiastically with Yuan Ge, each mouthful of "Aunt Yuan", and Yuan Ge couldn't help blending into the harmonious and lively atmosphere.

She had just drank a glass of fruit wine when she was pulled behind the wall.

Yuan Ge was startled, looked at this person in surprise, and said, "Gardenia, why is it you?"

As she said that, she smiled and said, "Why are you here looking for me if you don't accompany your mother?"

Zhi Zi looked at her solemnly and said: "I would like you to help me find out the identity of a young man in red. He may be in the Golden Luan Hall. You were an errand in the Golden Luan Hall before, and you are the female officer in charge of His Majesty. Are you here?" There must be someone in Jinluan Palace who can help me inquire about this matter, it is of great importance, I must find out the identity of the young man in red!"

Xiaoxia would never say those words for no reason. The empress gave Xiaoxia a wink at that time, and she didn't miss it.

Judging from the behavior of these two people, the young man in red is the one who pushed the empress into the water. She must find out the identity of the young man in red to avenge the empress!
Yuan Ge didn't have much contact with Zhi Zi, one was His Majesty's eyes and ears in Xianya Palace, and the other was Concubine Chen's cronies.

After Zhizi finished speaking, she smiled in surprise, looked at Zhizi and said, "Strange, how could you think of asking me for help? It's not like you don't know who I am. To be blunt, I only listen to your majesty's advice." And concubine Chen's order."

Zhizi pursed her lips, her eyes dimmed, and she took out a 1000 tael bank note from her bosom, and said: "This is given to me by the madam before the empress enters the palace. As long as the empress encounters any situation, I will Let me use this bank note to make some connections, as long as you help me, this bank note will be yours, and any bank can exchange it."

But she miscalculated Yuan Ge.

Yuan Ge shook his head, pushed back the bank note, and said calmly: "Miss Zhizi, you should take it back, as I said, I only obey the orders of Your Majesty and Concubine Chen, this matter has nothing to do with me , forgive me for being helpless.”

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Ge turned around and left here, returning to the gathering of the little maids and servants.

Looking at her back, Zhizi narrowed her eyes slightly.

After standing for a while, she put away the bank notes, turned around and walked towards the back door of Xianya Palace. Along the way, she avoided the eyes and ears of many people.

Just when she was about to go out, suddenly, a slender hand grabbed her: "Zhizi, where are you going?"

Zhizi turned her head and saw that the person who came was late winter in pink.

Zhi Zi let go of her hand, looked directly at her and said: "You came just in time, you are here to guard Xianya Palace, I will come back as soon as I go."

Wan Dong looked at her and sighed, "I heard what you said to Yuan Ge just now."
