Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 212
After everyone heard the words, they thanked Concubine Jia and got up and returned to their seats, but they cast or looked at Concubine Jia from time to time, or looked curiously.

Seeing Concubine Jia's elegant attire and her calm demeanor, her imperial demeanor seemed natural.

Everyone couldn't help feeling respect and envy in their hearts.

At this moment, outside the door, the servant once again preached: "The concubine Chen is here!"

Concubine Chen, the only imperial concubine in the harem, a concubine who is only one rank lower than the empress, but she is the first daughter of Zuo Xiangfu, the most beloved woman of His Majesty.

Everyone didn't dare to be disrespectful to her, and before they had time to take a breath, they saluted her one after another: "See Concubine Chen!"

Shang Kelan didn't look sideways. These people knelt on the ground respectfully, lowered their heads, and didn't dare to raise their eyes to look at her.

On the main road covered with a red carpet, she was wearing a purple floor-length dress. The dark purple dress made her skin white and tender even more.

The long and heavy skirt was dragging on the ground, and she put her hands with gold-plated carved nails on Zhizi's hands, and she came to her own seat and sat down in a graceful manner.

Afterwards, she raised her hand to everyone, and said with a smile: "Today's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is meant to be reunion. I ordered the imperial dining room to prepare some special snacks and mooncakes. Please taste them."

As soon as she finished speaking, these people thanked them again before standing up and sitting down respectfully.

Not long after, two rows of maidservants with food trays came out and put the mooncakes in their hands in front of everyone's table.

The Queen Mother was sitting above Shang Kelan, and she cast a cold glance at Shang Kelan, and said, "Concubine Chen, Your Majesty has been training for almost ten days, why are you still alive today on this day of reunion?" How about asking Your Majesty to come out?"

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Concubine Jia, who was sitting in Shang Kelan's place, said regretfully, "I heard that His Majesty has not even gone to the morning court for the past few days, which is really worrying. I don't know how your Majesty is. ?”

Hearing what Concubine Jia and the Empress Dowager said, an official couldn't help frowning, and said in doubt: "The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Jia are in the harem, don't you know about the situation of Your Majesty in the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

After hearing this, the rest of the people couldn't help but echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty has not gone to court for several days, and there are a lot of government affairs that have not been dealt with. If you continue to be sick like this, I'm afraid it will delay the affairs of the state! It is better to invite an imperial physician as soon as possible. Your Majesty, just take a look."

Shang Kelan's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and said: "My lords, don't worry too much. Your Majesty has gradually improved under the treatment of Court Judge Su and Imperial Physician Li. His physical condition has recovered a lot, and he will arrive soon after taking the medicine."

When Jin Yantang left, he promised her that he would come back in ten days, ten days later.

Today is just the tenth day, Mid-Autumn Festival, what she has to do is to trust him and wait for him.

Just when Shang Kelan had just finished speaking, Zhao Kexi said disdainfully, "Who knows if the concubine Chen has some selfish intentions to prevent her majesty from coming to court?"

As soon as these words came out, no one dared to speak in the lively atmosphere just now in the Jinluan Hall.

Although everyone has this suspicion in their hearts, no one is willing to pierce the window paper and expose the matter!

Only Concubine Jia and the Empress Dowager remained unchanged. The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea and said, "Concubine Chen has always been favored by Your Majesty. Ever since His Majesty announced her illness, Concubine Chen has controlled the Imperial Forest Army in a short period of time. Not only that, she He also said that the entire harem is in his hands, even the Ai family can't go to see His Majesty."

"You say, is Concubine Chen hiding something from Ai's family, or is she trying to kill the king?"

Withholding the title of regicide is no joke.

At the ladies' table, Mrs. Shang became anxious on the spot. How could her daughter do such a rebellious thing?
So, Mrs. Shang got up in a hurry, and wanted to go to the main hall and kneel down, begging the queen mother for mercy.

It's just that as soon as she moved, Chen Yetan beside her pushed her back.

Mrs. Shang raised her eyes and looked at her puzzled. Chen Yetan winked at her, signaling her not to act rashly.

After all, if something really happened, it would be easier for Shang Kelin to come forward to solve it.

Mrs. Shang immediately understood what Chen Yetan meant, and sat down patiently.

Shang Kelan had already expected that the Queen Mother and Concubine Jia would attack her during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but what she didn't expect was that the Queen Mother hated herself so much that she would even be accused of "regicide" on her head.

If this charge cannot be removed, it is clear that she is going to drag the rhythm of Zuo Xiangfu's funeral!

For a moment, Shang Kelan narrowed her eyes slightly, she looked at the queen mother, and suddenly smiled, and said lightly: "The queen mother is really good at joking, Li Taiyi said that your majesty's condition is contagious, for your health, The concubine asked the Imperial Forest Army to escort you back to the Palace of Compassion, but I did not expect to offend the concubine so misunderstood by the empress dowager, it is the concubine's fault."

She changed the topic in a few words and didn't mention the regicide.

If you follow the queen mother's words, this matter will really be difficult to solve.

After finishing speaking, Shang Kelan ignored the Queen Mother and Zhao Kehan. As for Zhao Kexi, she even ignored her from the beginning to the end.

I just heard Shang Kelan say to Fupu: "Play the music, let the dancers from the Jiaosifang come up, I heard that their dance music is also the best in the world, you adults should enjoy it, this is specially prepared by the palace for you of."

Everyone couldn't stand the ordinary singing and dancing, so when Shang Kelan went to Jiaosifang, he discussed with Lady Yang and made some improvements to the traditional court dance.

Sure enough, at the beginning, everyone didn't care about the song and dance she prepared, but soon, their eyes were gradually attracted by the song and dance.

During the period, Shang Kelan sat on the high seat, quietly observing the form in the Golden Luan Hall, and asked Zhizi to present the chrysanthemum cake she asked the imperial dining room to prepare.

Chrysanthemum cake is made of flour in the shape of a chrysanthemum, brushed with a layer of rapeseed oil on top, and steamed in a drawer. Before steaming, season the flour and add the juice made from chrysanthemum to the noodles. The steamed taste is very pleasant. This chrysanthemum The cakes are all astringent beforehand, and they have an appetizing effect.

It is one of the pastries developed by Xiaoxia with great concentration.

A dark light flashed in Zhao Kehan's eyes, she couldn't let the palace banquet go on so smoothly, if Jin Yantang didn't come out again, she wouldn't be able to train her own people.

No matter how Jin Yantang is in the palace or not, she must find a way to get Concubine Chen to bring Zhao Kexi into the harem!
Thinking, after the song was over, the appetizers were almost served, Zhao Kehan ​​seemed to be trying to brighten the atmosphere, and smiled at Shang Kelan: "Chen Concubine, I have also listened to this song and watched the dance, but The concubine always finds it a bit boring, didn't you just say that the Mid-Autumn Festival is for family reunion?"

"Now that His Majesty is not here, the Empress Dowager can't meet with His Majesty, and the concubines feel a little uncomfortable. Why don't you ask someone to invite His Majesty over here?"
