Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 25 Meet the Queen Mother
Needle drop could be heard in the air, and it was extremely quiet, only the morning light was quietly shining on everyone, and no one dared to speak.

When everyone was caught in the puzzlement and shock that did not react, the corners of Shang Kelan's mouth slightly curled up, seeming to be smiling, but upon closer inspection, it seemed that her expression was calm and nothing could be picked out. wrong.

In just a moment, Shang Kelan, like the concubines behind her, looked at Concubine Hua's actions in shock and incomprehension.

The empress's face was so gloomy that water could drip out, but Concubine Hua was still immersed in the action of kicking Concubine Chen just now and didn't recover.

It was the big palace maid next to the empress who was wearing the goose-yellow palace dress who came to her senses first. When no one could react, she stepped forward and pointed at Concubine Hua angrily and reprimanded: "Bold Concubine Hua, how dare you You are disrespectful to the empress, and quickly removed the shoes from the empress' skirt!"

Concubine Hua suddenly came back to her senses, she panicked, gritted her teeth, and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "This concubine knows I was wrong, this concubine just made a mistake unintentionally, please calm down, empress!"

After all, the Empress Empress hadn't been in the palace for a while, and her whole heart was dedicated to the Buddha. Before the concubine Chen came to the palace, the power of the harem was divided between Concubine Ning and Concubine Hua.

Now that the two palaces dominate, and Concubine Hua holds the real power, she is reluctant to admit that she is wrong with the queen. Instead, when she lowered her head, she still thought angrily: "Where is this queen going?"She happened to be walking with that bitch, Concubine Chen, causing her to make a mistake!

The queen's mother's family has been weak for a long time. When Jin Yantang was still the adopted son of the first emperor who was not valued, she married him. Unexpectedly, after Jin Yantang seized power, the palace recruited more concubines. Even Xiao, who was punished before, A nobleman, whose mother clan is also stronger than the queen.

The queen looked at Concubine Hua who was kneeling in front of her, the gloomy look on her face gradually improved, and she smiled at Concubine Hua as if she had a good temper: "It's okay, I will let the people from Jiaosifang redo one thing at that time." , why hurt the friendship between the sisters because of such a trivial matter? Sister Hua Concubine, please get up."

Saying that, the empress said to the court lady who scolded Concubine Hua just now: "Tao Xiang, don't be so rude to Concubine Hua in the future, do you understand?"

Tao Xiang immediately said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty." After saying that, Tao Xiang retreated to the Queen's side, her eyes lowered and she remained silent.

Concubine Hua asked An to bring the maid by her side today, Mei Zi. Seeing this, Mei Zi hurriedly lowered her head and carefully helped Concubine Hua up.

Concubine Hua immediately gave Shang Kelan a hard look.

Shang Kelan blinked at her, and for a moment, Concubine Hua became even more angry, she clenched her fist and then let go.

Hmph, if it wasn't for the fact that the empress is still here, she must teach this bitch a lesson!

If Shang Kelan didn't dodge and was stepped on by her honestly, how could such a scandal happen?

If Shang Kelan knew what Concubine Hua was thinking at this time, she would probably laugh at her!

After the queen finished speaking to Tao Xiang, Shang Kelan looked at the queen's imperial gown with regret, and sighed: "It's such a pity that such an exquisite phoenix robe, my concubine heard that the silk thread embroidered with colorful phoenixes, It can only be made from the silk of Tianshan colorful silkworm, it is extremely precious!"

Hearing these words in Concubine Hua's ears, she immediately thought that Shang Kelan was provoking her, so she immediately stared at her and said, "Isn't it the silk of Tianshan colorful silkworms? I... It's not that I can't do anything, my hometown is here." Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River has the most comprehensive trading place in the Zhou Dynasty, and the concubine will ask his father to buy it and return it to the empress!"

Shang Kelan immediately lowered her eyes and said nothing, but everyone didn't see it, and a smile flashed across her eyes.

This concubine Hua is really arrogant and domineering, she dares to speak nonsense in front of the empress, if this word reaches the emperor's ears, what will the emperor think?

How fun!
Suddenly, Shang Kelan felt that it would be quite interesting to fight this Concubine Hua.

The Queen's eyes flickered, and Tao Xiang looked up at her, with a questioning look in her eyes; the Queen also glanced at her, signaling her not to act rashly.

Just when Concubine Hua was blocking Shang Kelan with words, the empress smiled and smoothed things over and said, "It's just a piece of clothing, so how can I bother Concubine Hua so much? Alright, I'll go back and change my clothes later, Go and plead guilty to the Queen Mother and her elders."

As she said that, she looked at Concubine Chen again and said, "Sister Concubine Chen, since you are an imperial concubine, you can temporarily take the place of my palace and lead all the sisters to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to greet the Empress Dowager!"

Shang Kelan lowered her eyebrows and bowed her knees to salute: "My concubine obeys."

The empress nodded, and sent another servant girl to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to tell the Empress Dowager about this, and then returned to the Palace of Kunning with Tao Xiang.

As soon as the queen left, everyone was headed by Concubine Chen.

Although Concubine Hua could not get used to Concubine Chen, she would not disobey the Queen's orders just after offending the Queen.

Along the way, even though Concubine Hua hated Concubine Chen so much, she didn't make any more moves.

At three quarters of the hour, in the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

The people in the Compassion Ning Palace had already received the news from the servants sent by the Empress, so even though Concubine Chen led all the concubines to greet the Empress Dowager, the maids of the Compassion Ning Palace allowed Concubine Chen and others to enter the hall smoothly.

In the main hall, the fragrance of ambergris is calming and calming. This fragrance is only a little bit every year, but the emperor still clings to the empress dowager, which shows that the empress dowager is very important in the palace.

Everyone didn't dare to be disrespectful, and when they came to the main hall, they bowed and stood upright, kneeling and saluting to the majestic Empress Dowager on the main seat: "My concubine waits to greet the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is a thousand years old!"

The Empress Dowager, who was dressed in a crow-blue palace gown embroidered with cranes, sat high on the main seat. She took a sip of the tea from the celadon teacup, then put down the teacup lightly and said, "Well, except for Concubine Chen, everyone else is waiting for you. Go sit down."

The Empress Dowager seldom returns to the palace. Only during the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Eve reunion, will she return to the palace from the ancient temple to meet with the emperor.

Moreover, she has a very important position in the palace, but the concubines know very little about the queen mother, so they are all cautious and respectful, and dare not go beyond the slightest.

Upon hearing this, Shang Kelan folded her hands in front of her forehead, knelt down and said, "I would like to obey the orders of the Empress Dowager!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she really knelt on the ground quietly, neither asking wrong nor making a sound, looking obedient and docile.

The queen mother paused, and narrowed her eyes looking at Shang Kelan slightly, and a sharp light shone in her cloudy old eyes.

She was waiting for Shang Kelan to ask her why, but she did not expect that Shang Kelan was actually a docile and obedient person, kneeling in front of her in front of so many concubines without saying a word, without saving any face for herself.

You must know that she is the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo, and her every move represents her own family education. Now that she kneels down like this, she really humiliates Prime Minister Zuo in front of all the concubines!

Could it be that Shang Kelan is really so big-hearted that he doesn't care about the reputation of Zuo Xiangfu?

In just a moment, many thoughts flashed through the Queen Mother's mind, and the look in Shang Kelan's eyes became even more ambiguous.

When the Empress Dowager didn't speak, the concubines didn't dare to speak, the atmosphere in the huge Compassion Ning Palace was extremely dignified.

Just when everyone thought that Shang Kelan was going to kneel for a long time, they saw the Empress Dowager looking down at her and said: "Concubine Chen, you are guilty of murdering Concubine Ning's dragon heir?"
