Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 215
Before Zhang Ruxue took the sachet from her hand, the second young lady got angry and took back the sachet. She looked at Zhang Ruxue proudly and said, "Zhang Ruxue, so what if you are the daughter of the Zhang family? Your mother She passed away a long time ago! My mother is the current aunt of the Zhang family, and I am no longer the concubine Zhang Baozhi!"

After being called by Zhang Baozhi's name and mentioned her deceased mother, Zhang Ruxue felt sad and looked sad.

She is a servant girl who fights for her master, so she couldn't help but retort: ​​"Shut up, second miss, the eldest miss is your sister, how can you be disrespectful to the eldest miss? Besides, if it weren't for the help of the eldest miss, do you think you can be the master?" Miss Shangdi?"

This is the most taboo thing in Zhang Baozhi's heart. When others mentioned her status as a concubine girl, after hearing what the maid said, she couldn't help it, and raised her hand high and wanted to slap her down!

Zhang Ruxue was sensitive, her eyes were slightly opened, showing fear, but she still held the maid in her arms.

At this moment, a woman's voice came in time, and she only heard the other party say: "Miss, my mother brought some tea over, this tea is for Miss Zhang's family, and this pastry is for Zhang's family Second Miss."

As soon as these words came out, most of the anger of the second lady of the Zhang family disappeared, and she looked at Zhang Ruxue arrogantly, and said with a smile: "Look, the empress dowager treats you well, and the concubine Chen also treats me well, I will only reward you with a glass of wine." Tea, but reward me with pastries!"

The ladies' seats are mainly cakes, both salty and sweet, and there are few people drinking tea.

This palace maid is Wen Chun, just now Shang Kelan saw some movement here, observed for a while, and figured out who was causing the trouble, then asked Wen Chun to bring the tea and cakes, but she didn't understand why Shang Kelan She had to specially ask her to give the cakes to Zhang Baozhi.

After Zhang Baozhi took the pastries, he saluted Wen Chun and said happily: "Thank you, aunt, please wait for the minister to thank the concubine Chen, the minister will definitely live up to the high hopes of the concubine Chen!"

She didn't even give her a sachet, but Zhang Baozhi thought that Concubine Chen had taken a fancy to her and wanted to leave her the position of fourth concubine.

Although she was only rewarded with a cup of tea, Zhang Ruxue was still relieved. If Concubine Chen's person hadn't appeared in time, she might be beaten as a servant girl.

So, she saluted Wen Chun sincerely, although she didn't say much, she could hear the gratitude in her words: "Thank you, Concubine Chen, for the reward."

Then, she took the cup of tea and drank it down.

The servant girl hurriedly took her hand, her expression was tense, as if she was afraid that someone would poison her in the tea, and she was also afraid that Concubine Chen would harm her.

Wen Chun saw this scene in his eyes, didn't say much, just nodded to the two of them, then led them away and returned to Shang Kelan's side.

After she and Zhang Baozhi left, the servant girl quickly patted Zhang Ruxue's back and said, "Miss, do you feel uncomfortable? If you feel uncomfortable, you must speak up quickly, or I will accompany you to spit out the tea." Bar!"

Zhang Ruxue shook her head and said with a slight smile: "No, Xiaoyun, don't worry, my father has a good relationship with Zuo Xiang and His Majesty, the concubine Chen will not do anything to me, and she is not the second younger sister."

Speaking of the second sister, it refers to Zhang Baozhi.

Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

At this moment, Shang Kelan sat quietly beside the Empress Dowager on the main seat, and the Empress Dowager saw that she had sent the maid to the banquet just now, and couldn't help asking: "Why did you ask your maid to go to the banquet?"

Shang Kelan smiled slightly, and said: "It's nothing, just let Wen Chun go over to see if the table is complete, and we can't neglect these noble ladies from the capital."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's just as long as you know what's in your heart."

While talking, Zhizi had already arrived with Lady Yang and Nanny Zhang.

"The servants have met the empress dowager, and have seen the concubine Chen!"

After the two saluted the Queen Mother and Monk Kelan respectively, the Queen Mother raised her hand and said: "Please stand up, you two, I think the person who brought you here just now has also mentioned the purpose of letting you come, so the Ai family will stop talking. Wanqin, give seats to Lady Yang and Nanny Zhang!"

"Yes, Empress Dowager!"

Wanqin replied respectfully, and then ordered someone to bring two small coffee tables and stools.

After thanking Lady Yang and Madam Zhang, they sat down in front of the small tea table, one on the left and the other on the right. The tea table was lit with incense, which could dispel the peculiar smell in the air of the Golden Luan Palace.

After Zhizi returned to Shang Kelan, she nodded to Shang Kelan, and then Shang Kelan smiled, and shifted her eyes to the female officer Yang and Zhang Momo.

Lady Yang is wearing a formal purple palace dress, looking very upright and serious. She is about 25 years old, and she doesn't seem to have taken much care of it. Crow's feet have faintly appeared on her beautiful face.

And Nanny Zhang is short and fat, with a friendly smile, wearing a crow blue palace dress, she looks approachable, but her eyes are shining brightly, and she is not an easy person to deal with.

The queen mother seemed to be the master of this palace banquet draft, and she only heard her say: "Then, Aijia has already drawn lots for the girls participating in the draft, and whoever can be selected as the fourth concubine this time must be a lucky person who has both chance and fortune." People, according to the order of the lottery, please show your talents in turn, not limited to poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!"

The Queen Mother herself followed Mr. Jin to conquer the world. If the palace was full of gentle women, she would feel lifeless instead.

Therefore, such a rule was temporarily set.

Hearing this, Shang Kelan couldn't help covering her lips with a smile, looked at the queen mother and said: "The queen mother is wise, according to my concubines, your majesty also hopes that one of the four concubines selected this time will be different from the past."

Seeing that what Concubine Chen said didn't seem to be praising her intentionally, but was expressing feelings, the Empress Dowager let her guard down, nodded, and started talking to her.

Wanqin, who is next to the queen mother, presided over the event, and Fupu assisted Wanqin. After all, Fupu is more mature and experienced. With his help, Wanqin can relax a lot.

Just when the draft ceremony was about to start, Zhao Kehan ​​brought Zhao Kexi back.

I only heard the report from the servant at the door: "The concubine Jia is here! Miss Zhao from the Zhao Mansion in Zhejiang Province is here!"

The two of them just went to change clothes, but they went for such a long time, and they didn't know what they said.

Shang Kelan narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked towards the door. The palace banquet audition that was about to be held was interrupted by the two of them, and the rest of the people saluted Zhao Kehan ​​one after another.

Zhao Kehan ​​smiled modestly: "Everyone, please, just treat this as an ordinary banquet, and you don't have to be so polite."

Zhao Kexi followed Zhao Kehan, seeming to be honored, and raised her neck proudly.

I saw the red neon dress and feather coat she was wearing, which was very dazzling, her long black hair was scattered around her waist, and she moved lightly with lotus steps, just like a fairy of Yaotai!
Many people in the men's table were dumbfounded.

The Empress Dowager's eyes also brightened, and she quickly asked Zhao Kehan ​​and Zhao Kexi to sit down on the seats under her, second only to Concubine Chen.

For a moment, the young ladies also understood that with the help of the two concubines, Concubine Jia and Concubine Chen, they must have a chance to become the fourth concubine!
