Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 266 Doubt

This jade looks very green and clear, because it is a high-quality jade, so it has a bit of blue.

The workmanship is very fine, although it is polished by hand, it is no different from that made by a machine. No wonder the jewelry made by Ms. Yang is so sought after by so many people.

Seeing that the hour was approaching, Zhi Zi stepped aside and asked Wan Dong to dress Shang Kelan.

Just when Wandong picked up a box of powder and was about to apply it on Shang Kelan, Shang Kelan stopped him: "You don't need to use such white powder today, let's give this palace a solemn and solemn makeup."

In this way, it is possible to overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum.

If there is no accident, Zhao Kehan ​​must have dressed up carefully today, and she is still waiting to see what kind of show Zhao Kehan ​​has prepared for the palace banquet!

Thinking of this, Shang Kelan slightly curled his lips into a smile.

The winter solstice palace banquet in the palace was not as luxurious as the last Mid-Autumn Palace banquet. After all, everything was kept simple, and when winter came, His Majesty allocated a lot of money to the frontier soldiers.

This time the palace banquet was held in the imperial garden, where the flowers were still in full bloom, and at noon, the sky was still snowing.

The servants receive invitations at the door to record, and when a guest comes, he will report the guest's name.

When almost all the guests arrived, Jin Yantang and Shang Kelan came slowly.

"Your Majesty is here! Concubine Chen is here!"

When the servant pronounced Zhao Kehan, he pronounced her "Little Morning Concubine" according to Concubine Chen's meaning, so it didn't attract everyone's attention.

However, Concubine Chen rushed to the front to salute: "The concubine sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed and safe! See Concubine Chen!"

After the rest of the people reacted, they saluted the two of them, but all of a sudden, everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Kexi.

I saw Zhao Kexi wearing a set of gorgeous and exquisite emerald head, looking very luxurious, she was wearing a set of blue palace clothes, she looked a little mature, but more dignified, and looked very gentle.

It's just that this emerald is clearly... polished with scraps.

It's obviously just cheap materials, but it's made very delicately on purpose.

People who don't understand jewelry will naturally like it when they see it.

Jin Yantang's eyes flickered slightly, he glanced at Shang Kelan, and seeing the smile on Shang Kelan's lips, he said to Zhao Kexi: "Your headgear is not bad, let's be flat."

Fu Pu said to the guests at the side: "Your Majesty invites you to a banquet in the Imperial Garden today. Your Majesty said when you came down that you should treat this place as your own family banquet, and there is no need to be formal!"

"Wei Chen thanks Your Majesty!"

Thanks again, everyone returned to their original positions.

The Empress Dowager and Concubine Jia sat on a chair and talked. The two of them did not know what they said, but they laughed happily.

Today, Concubine Jia is not as luxuriously dressed as in the past. She is still wearing a pink embroidered palace gown, but both her makeup and hairstyle have changed, giving her a girlish look.

Shang Kelan narrowed her eyes slightly, and sat beside Jin Yantang calmly.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Zhao Kehan ​​came over to salute, and his voice was as soft as before.

"The concubine sees His Majesty, and the concubine Chen."

The positions of several people from high to low are still Jin Yantang, Empress Dowager, Concubine Chen, Concubine Jia and Concubine Chen.

The rest of the concubines who were qualified for the fourth rank also participated in the palace banquet.

After Shang Kelan looked at Zhao Kehan ​​for a while, she suddenly smiled slightly, and said, "Concubine Jia's complexion is exceptionally good today, she seems to have put a lot of effort into dressing up."

Zhao Kexi looked at Shang Kelan angrily at the side, it must be because of the appearance of this woman that His Majesty didn't pay attention to her, she spent so much effort to get this emerald head for nothing!

But when Shang Kelan said that about Zhao Kehan, Zhao Kexi was stunned for a moment: Could this woman be praising her sister?
Zhao Kehan ​​didn't seem to understand, and only said politely to Shang Kelan: "Thanks to the praise from the concubine Chen, I feel that the concubine Chen looks extraordinary today."

Looking at her a few days ago, she was still too sick to get out of bed, her face was very pale, but today she was dressed so solemnly, she looked like the lord of the palace, she couldn't see how weak she was before.

And judging from the complexion, she definitely didn't apply a lot of powder on purpose.

This kind of solemnity reveals a natural feeling, which makes Zhao Kehan ​​very disgusted.

It's just that her eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't say anything.

But Zhao Kehan's outfit gave Jin Yantang a familiar feeling, his eyes moved slightly, and then he said: "Okay, let's all sit down and talk, Concubine Chen, you can't stand for a long time, sit down quickly."

Taking into account Shang Kelan's body, Jin Yantang helped her to sit down beside him.

When everyone saw this, they were shocked again.

That position can only be occupied by empresses, but the former empress was abolished because of treason, and now Shang Kelan is the most respected in the palace, so it's no harm to enjoy this kind of treatment.

Everyone sighed and sighed in private, but no one dared to step forward to dissuade them.

After all, the Imperial Concubine is backed by Zuo Xiangfu, and she herself is so favored by His Majesty.

Zhao Kexi was immediately dissatisfied, stood up and pointed at Shang Kelan unwillingly, and said, "Your Majesty, this Concubine Chen is not an empress at all, it is out of courtesy for her to sit in this seat!"

A group of concubines headed by Concubine Jia also joined in.

Shang Kelan sat on the seat, glanced at these people with a smile that was not a smile, and said lightly: "As the monarch of the world, don't you know the rules without you? As we all know, this palace has just recovered from a serious illness. Your Majesty did this , just concerned about the body of the concubine, why, the sisters look at it, it seems that they don't want me to recover?"

In the harem, concubines are supposed to live in harmony, no matter how fierce the internal fight is, they still dare not speak at the palace banquet.

Besides, if they complied with Shang Kelan's words, it would really be slandering His Majesty for not knowing the rules and cursing Concubine Chen for dying of illness.

All of a sudden, those talking concubines shut their mouths, not daring to say anything more, and only said: "I dare not."

Seeing that they were dismissed so easily by Shang Kelan, Zhao Kexi immediately became angry and couldn't help but want to talk again.

But Zhao Kehan ​​came out in time to smooth things over, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty cares about Concubine Chen, and Concubine Chen has done a lot for His Majesty. I am the role model for you. The concubines dare not do what Concubine Chen said. Do something disrespectful."

A complicated look flashed across Jin Yantang's eyes, he nodded to Zhao Kehan, and said, "I see, you can sit too."

Jin Yantang always kept in mind that Zhao Kehan ​​wanted him to consummate the marriage with Zhao Kexi.

He obviously sent Fu Pu to investigate, and sent some palace officials to investigate, but he didn't find anything suspicious, as if he almost fell into a coma in Ximeng Palace twice, and he was a little distraught. It was his own doing, and had nothing to do with Zhao Kehan.

But Jin Yantang knew that he must have been fascinated by something, but even if he doubted Zhao Kehan, there was nothing he could do, because he couldn't find any evidence to prove that Zhao Kehan ​​did all of this!
