Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 224

At night, the imperial garden is decorated with lights and festoons, and it is very lively, giving off a festive atmosphere.

The maidservant just now seemed to be just a small episode to Concubine Jia, and it didn't cause much disturbance among the crowd. After all, the Empress Dowager wanted to quell this dispute, who would dare to risk her life to provoke it?
Mrs. Shang felt more and more uncomfortable at the palace banquet, and just wanted to see her daughter.

At this moment, Fu Pu, who greeted everyone, came to Mrs. Shang and Shang Kelin.

I saw him respectfully saluting the two of them: "Fu Pu, the eunuch in charge of the Xianya Palace, the slave, has met Mrs. Shang and Mr. Shang."

Upon hearing that he was from the Xianya Palace, Mrs. Shang couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then said joyfully, "Is the concubine Chen calling you here?"

Just now Shang Kelan asked Fupu to bring these people to the Royal Garden, and many matters in the Royal Garden were also resolved by Fupu.

After hearing Mrs. Shang's words, Fu Pu smiled and said: "Mrs. Shang, Concubine Chen specially told this slave to take good care of you at the palace banquet. The slave didn't even touch a single bite of the food on your side. But these foods don’t suit your appetite?”

There are side dishes, pastries, melons and fruits, moon cakes and tea in the gazebos.

The mooncakes in the palace are different from those outside the palace. From the selection of materials to the production, they are very careful, and the methods used are also passed down from the masters, so the mooncakes are very delicious.

It's just that Mrs. Shang's mouth was useless, she seemed to be preoccupied, afraid that she was still angry about the matter she argued with the queen mother just now, so Fu Pu came to see her, which can be regarded as enlightening her.

But Mrs. Shang sighed all the time, looking at the pastries on the table, she couldn't help sighing: "I hope that there will be many people around me during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I didn't expect it to be so deserted this year."

But just as she finished speaking, not far away, a servant's communication voice sounded: "Your Majesty is here! Your Majesty Zuo is here!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the imperial garden was shocked, and many women in the boudoir blushed even more, hurriedly bowed in the direction of the servant who spoke, and said one after another: "See Your Majesty!"

It is said that Shang Kelin and his wife, mother and son, are the happiest. They looked at each other at the same time, with shock and joy in their eyes. It seems that no one expected that Zuo Xiang and His Majesty Will be back around this time!
The unified voice of all the people sounded, and after a while, Yingying fell to his knees. After a while, Jin Yantang, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, appeared in front of everyone.

He raised his hand to the crowd and said, "Everyone, don't be polite, since tonight is the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, there is no need to be too polite."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Qingxi sent someone to bring him a dragon chair.

Even Fu Pu showed shock in his eyes.

Is His Majesty back?
On the side, Zhao Kehan ​​looked at Jin Yantang, feeling joy and fear in his heart.

She was happy that Jin Yantang finally came back, but what she was afraid of was, what would Jin Yantang do if he found out what she did to Concubine Chen?Isn't it going to put her head in limbo?

It's just that this thought was denied by Zhao Kehan ​​as soon as it came up.

Impossible, Zhao Kehan's plan is perfect, she has enough confidence in herself!

Immediately, Zhao Kehan ​​and the Queen Mother went up to meet him, looked at Jin Yantang with a sincere smile and said, "Your Majesty, are you here?"

Zhao Kexi stood shyly and timidly beside Zhao Kehan, raising her eyes from time to time to cast a discharge-like gaze at Jin Yantang, most men would have already had their minds fluttered under such gazes!

But Jin Yantang didn't seem to notice it, he directly ignored Zhao Kehan's question, but looked to Xiang Zuo and said, "Master Shang, go find your relatives, I will talk to the Queen Mother and Concubine Jia about something."

Since Jin Yantang had something to say, he wouldn't stay in the way, and Prime Minister Zuo didn't come here to see these two women, so he nodded to Jin Yantang and left.

The queen mother took Jin Yantang's hand, sat down beside him, and couldn't help laughing and said: "Your Majesty, when did you come to the Imperial Garden? Don't tell Ai's family. The concubine Chen said that she has drowsiness. Wake up soon?"

Jin Yantang said calmly: "If I don't come, how do I know what kind of concubine my mother and Han'er have chosen for me?"

At this moment, the palace banquet is almost over, and the lantern riddles in the imperial garden are the last game. Hearing what Jin Yantang said, Zhao Kehan ​​stopped hiding and said with a smile to everyone: "Everyone, next Let the Empress Dowager, Lady Yang and Nanny Zhang begin to select one of the four concubines!"

As soon as these words came out, many women who were looking at this side blushed for a moment. No one expected that Jin Yantang would appear at this time, and everyone felt somewhat regretful.

After all, they showed their most beautiful sides on the stage just now, but they were not appreciated by His Majesty.

But I don't know who the Queen Mother is optimistic about?
After all, neither Concubine Chen nor Concubine Jia participated in this palace banquet, and the Queen Mother was still the head. The two nominal judges, Lady Yang and Madam Zhang, were not very worthy of their names.

Jin Yantang looked at the Queen Mother, and asked calmly: "Oh, Queen Mother, do you already have the result of the fourth concubine?"

The Queen Mother heard the words, smiled and nodded, and said: "At first, the Ai family was optimistic about Zhang Ruxue, the daughter of the cabinet scholar, but this piece of Ruxue seemed too weak, but the Ai family felt that Xi'er was better than them." Quite a few."

"Xi'er?"

The queen mother's affectionate address to Zhao Kexi made Jin Yantang unable to recover for a while, and he couldn't help looking at the queen mother and asking.

Zhao Kehan ​​raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Kexi, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Kexi immediately understood, stepped forward quickly, and respectfully saluted Jin Yantang: "Zhezhou Zhaofu Zhao Kexi, a daughter of the people, is the direct sister of the empress Jiafei, see Your Majesty!"

Jin Yantang knows Zhao Kehan's background best, she doesn't have any younger sister at all.

This Zhao Kexi is only her sister in name, but this fabricated life experience is better than directly admitting that she is the former princess.

Therefore, Jin Yantang did not stop them, but nodded to the two of them, and said: "The queen mother and Han'er can make the decision, I will go and see Mrs. Shang."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Kehan's face changed slightly.

If His Majesty went to visit Mrs. Shang at this time, Mrs. Shang would definitely tell His Majesty what happened to the palace maid just now. Your Majesty has always been sensitive and suspicious, and because he cares so much about Concubine Chen, he will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!
At that time, no matter how flawless her plan is, and His Majesty's suspicion of her will increase, she won't be able to stay in this harem for long!
Therefore, Zhao Kehan ​​got up to stop him, looked in the direction of Mrs. Shang, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Shang and Mr. Zuo Xiang's family are reuniting now. This matter of choosing a concubine is not a child's play. If you don't sit in the town personally , there is always something unreasonable!"

After this matter is over, Mrs. Shang will complain to His Majesty again, and His Majesty will have nothing to do with her!
