Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 213
Zhao Kehan ​​said so, no matter how much Shang Kelan tried to stop her, it was impossible.

Down below, a group of courtiers and female family members thought this was a good opportunity to show their faces in front of His Majesty, and all of them asked Shang Kelan one after another: "Chen Concubine, although Your Majesty is still ill, but the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter what Reunion is the main thing, and it is really regrettable that His Majesty cannot attend the banquet, so please send someone to invite Your Majesty, Concubine Chen!"

As they spoke, these people saluted Shang Kelan neatly.

Shang Kelan's deep eyes showed a little bit of darkness, she clenched her hands in her sleeves slightly, and was about to speak, but the queen mother took the lead.

I only heard the Queen Mother say: "What time is it now? Your Majesty hasn't come yet. Could it be that Concubine Chen, what have you done to Your Majesty? Is it possible that you really want to cover the sky with one hand and control Your Majesty's freedom?"

The empress dowager's stern questioning made people feel ashamed. If it was an ordinary person, I'm afraid they would have been too scared to speak.

Shang Kelan's expression remained unchanged, she got up and saluted the Queen Mother: "I don't know if the Queen Mother has any prejudice against this concubine. I ask myself, everything I do is for your majesty, and I don't dare to do anything to deceive you. Let alone a crime of treason and regicide?"

"It's just that His Majesty has fallen into a coma recently, and he can't wake up no matter how much medical treatment is done. Occasionally, when he is awake, it is also at the time of Haishi at night. Is it possible that you will follow me to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to see His Majesty at the time of Haishi?"

As she said that, Shang Kelan raised her eyes and glanced lightly at the people below.

Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, Shang Kelan's unhurried voice adds to the convincing power of the words.

Downstairs, at the male guests' table, just as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Shang Kelin frowned imperceptibly, and just as he was about to get up to rescue Shang Kelan, he did not expect that Shang Kelan had already He took a step and cleared himself.

Seeing this, Shang Kelin couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, sat back, and looked at Zhao Kehan ​​and the Queen Mother with a playful look on his face.

Shang Kelan's rhetorical question made everyone dare not speak, Zhao Kehan's face was also very ugly, but the Queen Mother, after hearing Shang Kelan's words, couldn't help but looked at her in astonishment and said: "Why is Your Majesty so sick? Why didn't you Say?"

Shang Kelan sighed, and said helplessly: "I was thinking about the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my concubine will organize this palace banquet according to His Majesty's wishes, so that His Majesty can rest in peace. I'm really embarrassed to say that His Majesty has sleepiness..."

As she spoke, her face turned reddish and embarrassing.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help frowning and said, "Sleepiness? I heard that people who suffer from this disease will always fall into a deep sleep without knowing it, and only wake up for a few hours a day."

Zhao Kehan ​​paused, seeing what the empress dowager monk Kelan meant, one of them loved their son, and the other was covering up the fact that His Majesty left the palace.

But she couldn't tell what she knew, otherwise she would push the Queen Mother into Shang Kelan's camp.

If you tell the Queen Mother that His Majesty is not in the palace now, she will definitely help Shang Kelan hide it.

This is extremely detrimental to Zhao Kehan, since that's the case, don't blame her for using other methods to keep Zhao Kexi behind!

It just so happened that at this time, Zhao Kexi cast a worried and help-seeking look at her.

Zhao Kehan ​​gave her a wink to signal her to rest assured, and then Zhao Kehan ​​said affectionately to Shang Kelan: "So that's the case, but the concubine misunderstood the concubine Chen, but your majesty is frugal, and there is no draft this year. It is a great regret for the harem and His Majesty."

"The concubine heard that the folks have been saying that they are happy since ancient times. I think it is not groundless. Why don't we try to choose a concubine for His Majesty, how about it?"

As he said that, without giving Shang Kelan a chance to make trouble, Zhao Kehan ​​looked at the Queen Mother again with a troubled face, and said, "Besides, the four concubines in the harem are always vacant, and it is inevitable that they will be coveted by those who want to. Maybe this newly selected concubine It is a blessed person who can make His Majesty recover as soon as possible, and maybe give His Majesty a dragon heir?"

As soon as this remark came out, not only the queen mother, but even the guests in the female guest table below became excited.

Especially those noble ladies, after listening to Zhao Kehan's words, they looked at their daughters with fiery eyes.

From what Concubine Jia meant, it seemed that she wanted to choose the most outstanding girl from among the women at the palace banquet to be one of the four great concubines!
There are four concubines of the second rank, and now all four are vacant. If their daughter happens to become one of the four concubines, won't they become the empresses who are second only to Concubine Chen and Concubine Jia?

If you go one step further and get His Majesty's favor, you can even become a queen if you have both fortune and luck!

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the hall became lively, and even the male guests got excited.

However, the queen mother still hesitated, she said: "Does this violate His Majesty's intention? After all, His Majesty also said before that there will be no draft this year..."

Although the queen mother said so, her heart was already moving.

Zhao Kehan ​​wanted to work harder, but Shang Kelan who was silent at the side suddenly laughed and said: "Concubine Jia is a good idea, just follow what Concubine Jia said, but the matter of choosing a concubine should not be hasty, since Your Majesty is temporarily If you haven't come, the queen mother will be the examiner, and Zhizi, please go and invite the officer Yang and Nanny Zhang from the Jiaosifang."

"These two are astute, and they are very familiar with etiquette and morality. The three of them will be the examiners. Presumably, ladies and adults can rest assured, right?"

Judging from Zhao Kehan's various behaviors, Shang Kelan had already guessed that the reason she was trying so hard was to keep Zhao Kexi in the palace.

Since he was destined to choose a concubine, why did Shang Kelan go along with Concubine Jia's wishes?
There are not a few well-known talented women and noble women in this court, but she wants to see how Concubine Jia can make Zhao Kexi win the top spot!

After listening to Shang Kelan's order, everyone was overjoyed and thanked one after another: "Concubine Chen is wise!"

And Zhizi also retreated in response, and went to Jiaosifang to invite Lady Yang and Nanny Zhang.

This is not a casual scale. Lady Yang and Nanny Zhang are first-grade female officials in the palace, and the other is an old man from the former dynasty. These two are very clear about etiquette, they will never make mistakes, and they are very fair.

In addition, the Minister of Rites is also here. As for Qin Tianjian, the results will be released later, let Qin Tianjian calculate the date of canonization, and the Ministry of Rites will measure another title and it will be fine.

Zhao Kehan ​​didn't expect Shang Kelan to agree so readily, but gave her such a gesture. Suddenly, a look of resentment flashed in her eyes.

On the other side, upon hearing the news, Zhao Kexi looked at Zhao Kehan ​​worriedly.

How much she weighs, she knows it very well!Those noble girls from famous families are very talented at first glance. Apart from this face, I have nothing that can compare to them!
When Zhao Kexi was anxious, Zhao Kehan ​​suppressed the anger in his heart, and saluted Shang Kelan: "Then this concubine will take my younger sister to change clothes first, and this concubine will leave!"
