Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 23 The target of public criticism

Chapter 23 The target of public criticism
The moonlight was as cool and thin as water, and when it shone on people, it also showed a bit of coolness.

As soon as Fupu finished speaking, Jin Yantang stopped in his tracks. The air was extremely quiet, only the sound of wind blowing.

Fupu suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly slapped his two loud big ears, and said in a trembling voice: "Damn the slave! Damn the slave! The slave should not speculate on the intention of the concubine Chen, please calm down!" "

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

After Fu Pu slapped himself several times, Jin Yantang said lightly: "Okay, just watch your mouth, and next time, I will cut your tongue!"

Fu Pu shivered all over his body, and immediately responded: "This slave is convicted, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Concubine Ning's father, Wen Quanwu, was an important minister in the court, and he was the Minister of the Ministry of War of the second rank. He could call tens of thousands of elite soldiers anytime and anywhere.

Now that he has just ascended the throne, the remnants of the previous dynasty are still active, and there are wars in the frontier, so he has to dote on Concubine Ning to stabilize Wen Quanwu's heart.

The foreign war has not yet been resolved, and as an emperor, he has no choice but to soak in the rain and dew to ensure the stability of the court.

It would be extremely detrimental to Jin Yantang if anyone had the intention of treason at this time.

Jin Yantang walked in the direction of the imperial dining room, his eyes darkened slightly, as deep as an ancient pool, making it difficult to guess his inner thoughts.

Fopp followed behind him obediently, not daring to say anything more.

At this time, in the imperial dining room.

After Xiaoxia heard Zhizi's complaints during the day, she tried to make an improved version of rock sugar chowder; but the empress liked sweets, and she couldn't add more sugar, so she stayed in the imperial dining room and studied for a long time.

Xiaoxia has a lively and lovely personality, and she is very fond of Li Xiulian, the chief eunuch of the imperial dining room. Besides, she is one of the four maids of honor next to the concubine Chenfei of the Xianya Palace, so Li Xiulian is also happy to have her create inventions here.

When Xiaoxia was digging ice, she suddenly saw all the people around her knelt down towards the door, and respectfully called out: "Your Majesty sees you, Your Majesty, may you be blessed!"

The emperor is here? !
Xiaoxia was startled, and quickly turned around and knelt in the direction of the door.

Not long after, Xiaoxia heard the sound of footsteps, and then, a pair of bright yellow short boots with gold thread embroidered cloud patterns appeared in front of Xiaoxia.

But she heard an extremely low and indifferent voice sounding above her head: "You are the maid in Concubine Chen's palace, why don't you take good care of Concubine Chen, what are you doing here in the imperial dining room?"

Xiaoxia, Zhiqiu and the others were assigned by Jin Yantang to Xianya Palace to take good care of Concubine Chen, but now it was [-]:[-], but Xiaoxia was still in the imperial dining room, so Jin Yantang stepped forward to ask.

Xiao Xia swallowed her saliva nervously, lowered her head and said respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this servant is thinking about the hot weather these days, and is afraid that the cook's cooking will not suit your mother's appetite, so she came to the imperial dining room to study some food..."

While talking, Xiaoxia's voice lowered.

Does Laner have a bad appetite?
Jin Yantang's eyes were startled, then he moved his lips and said, "Then you should study it with your heart."

At this moment, Li Xiulian, the chief eunuch in charge of the imperial dining room, stepped forward with small steps, and said to Jin Yantang with a flattering smile, "Your Majesty, you are coming to the imperial dining room so late, but do you want to order the servants to cook anything you want?"

Jin Yantang said lightly: "Concubine Ning's appetite has not been good recently, you should have more snacks, and later make some jade plate delicacies and send them to Concubine Ning's palace. If you don't do well, I will fine you one year's salary, understand Is it gone?"

Frugality was prevalent in the palace, but the emperor personally came here because of Concubine Ning's poor appetite and told them to make some "jade plate delicacies" and send them to Concubine Ning's bedroom. It is really the only one in the harem!

Li Xiulian's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile: "My servant understands, please rest assured, your majesty, if you can't do well, this servant will definitely come to see you!"

Only then did Jin Yantang nodded, turned around and walked out without looking at Xiaoxia again.

An imperial concubine, a concubine Ning who is pregnant with a dragon heir, both concubines have a poor appetite, but the emperor is only nervous about Concubine Ning, the wind direction in the imperial dining room has changed again since tonight.

Concubine Ning was poisoned, the emperor showed great love for Concubine Ning, and the news that Concubine Ning became more favored quickly spread to all the palaces like the evening wind in June.

That night, the emperor rested in Concubine Ning's Palace.

During Haishi, the lights in all the palaces were dimmed, and when everyone was resting, only the bedroom of Concubine Chen in Xianya Palace was still lit with candlelight.

On the beauty's couch, Shang Kelan was wearing a white tulle dress, holding the book in her hand and reading leisurely; Gardenia was waiting at the side, with sleepiness in her eyes.

Suddenly, Wen Chun, dressed in pink palace clothes, walked in.

"Slaves see the empress!"

Shang Kelan's eyes flickered slightly, then she put down the book, looked up at her and said, "Get up, you don't need to salute to me at night from now on, just tell me if you have anything to say, look at you, your forehead is covered with sweat."

With that said, Shang Kelan came to Wen Chun with his shoes on, took out a white brocade handkerchief embroidered with plum blossoms from his sleeve, and wiped Wen Chun's sweat.

Wen Chun blushed slightly, stood up and thanked Shang Kelan, and then told Shang Kelan all the news he had inquired from Concubine Ning's Palace.

Shang Kelan stood in front of her and listened quietly. After Wen Chun said that the old doctor had found out that the pastry he had given Concubine Ning was poisonous, Shang Kelan couldn't help but smiled, so that he could sit back on the beauty on the couch.

She knew that Concubine Ning would not be so quiet.

It's just that I didn't expect Concubine Ning to attack her so quickly. Is it because of Xiao Guiren's incident that made her look ugly in front of the emperor, so Concubine Ning couldn't wait to strike back at her?
Shang Kelan was thinking in her heart, there was a dim light in those peach-like eyes, making it difficult for people to see her inner thoughts clearly.

Before Shang Kelan could react, Zhizi couldn't help it.

After hearing Wen Chun's news, Zhi Zi felt completely at ease, and couldn't help pointing in the direction of Concubine Ning's bedroom outside the window and yelling: "My mother, who came from a famous family, but did such a despicable and insidious deed. I bother!"

After speaking, Zhi Zi still felt puzzled, so she scolded again: "My mother kindly gave her cakes to eat, but instead of acknowledging her, she even beat us up. It's so heartfelt to feed the dog, it's hateful!"

This is in his own bedroom, and the unrelated maidservants have already retreated, so it's okay for Zhizi to relieve her anger.

On the other hand, Wen Chun, who looked restless, couldn't help but relax a little after hearing Zhi Zi's words.

Shang Kelan raised her hand and touched her cheek and said, "Okay, why are you angry? Life in the palace is like this, intrigues and deceptions, let's see what will happen tomorrow, our soldiers will come to block it, and we will just cover it up."

After finishing speaking, Shang Kelan looked at Wen Chun again and said, "You said that His Majesty was furious when he heard the reason of Concubine Ning's poisoning, and even broke a blue and white porcelain teacup from the former official kiln on the spot?"

Wen Chun nodded hurriedly, and replied, "Exactly."

Hearing the words, Shang Kelan nodded in understanding, and lay back on the beauty's couch again, and said softly: "It seems...tomorrow I will pay my respects to the empress, and my palace will inevitably fall into the misery of being targeted by everyone!"
