Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 347
The next day, when the cloudy sky cleared up, the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

All the concubines took off their cloaks and saluted the empress dowager sitting on the main seat: "The concubine sees the empress dowager, the empress dowager is a thousand years old!"

The Empress Dowager was wearing a crow-blue jacket embroidered with light gold chrysanthemums, her hair was neatly coiled up, and she wore an emerald hairpin on her head.

After looking around the crowd with a majestic expression, she said: "Sit down, why didn't Concubine Chen come?"

As she spoke, she glanced at the empty space at the lower left.

In the main hall, Zhao Kexi pretended to sigh and said: "Empress Dowager, you don't know, Concubine Chen led His Majesty to the Imperial Garden last night, she didn't know what she did, I'm afraid she said something in His Majesty's ear again, deliberately lying on her back Sleep in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, shall we?"

The Queen Mother frowned, looked at Zhao Kehan ​​and said, "Han'er, did Concubine Chen really bring Majesty to the Imperial Garden last night?"

What can I do in the Royal Garden in the middle of the night?
Zhao Kehan ​​lowered his eyebrows and said meekly: "The concubine dare not inquire about His Majesty's private affairs, but when I came here this morning, the concubine did hear the two maids from the Hall of Mental Cultivation talking about it."

As soon as these words came out, the concubines in the hall had different expressions and whispered: "This Concubine Chen is so courageous, it's fine to monopolize the favor, now even the Empress Dowager is not in their eyes!"

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager's expression turned ugly, and she said to Wanqin, the servant girl next to her, "Wanqin, go get Concubine Chen to Ai's family!"

Zhao Kexi was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously, so he drank tea to cover up the emotion in his eyes.

……

At this time, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

She fell asleep until the third quarter of the hour, when Shang Kelan faintly woke up.

She blinked slowly, and found that the quilt was well covered, but the person next to her had disappeared.

Jin Yantang went to court again, and Shang Kelan was a little bit disappointed. She and Jin Yantang stayed in the Imperial Garden for a long time last night, and it was already Haishi when they returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

However, after learning that she hadn't eaten yet, Jin Yantang ordered someone to make some hot dishes for her, and guarded her to drink calming and qi-tonifying medicine before falling asleep in peace.

This is the first time since she entered the palace for more than four months, she spends such a long time with Jin Yantang during the day.

On the side, Yuliu brought hot water. Seeing that Shang Kelan had woken up, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you up? Your Majesty told you to sleep a little longer, and he will come to accompany you for breakfast after the morning ceremony is over." meal."

Two palace maids stepped forward and pulled up the screen to change Shang Kelan's clothes. Shang Kelan asked, "When did Your Majesty leave?"

Yuliu replied, "At the beginning of Mao."

Yes, Jin Yantang always goes to court at this time.

Shang Kelan nodded, before she could speak.I saw a palace maid coming in from the outside to report: "I want to report to your empress, Miss Wanqin from the Palace of Compassionate Ning has sent a message, saying that the Empress Dowager invites you to see her at the Palace of Compassionate Ning."

Hearing this, Yuliu paused, then frowned and said: "Queen Mother? People who usually don't care about Concubine Chen, how can you let the empress take the initiative to go over now?"

From behind the screen, Shang Kelan's indifferent voice came: "I will change the white brocade jacket embroidered with rhododendrons for this palace. In addition, I will remove the red sandalwood hairpin and replace it with a gold-winged seven-tailed phoenix Bu Yao."

The palace maid who changed Shang Kelan's clothes was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, empress."

Yuliu relaxed her brows, and waved to the palace maid with her usual expression: "Go and report to Wanqin, just say that the empress will arrive after changing clothes."

"Yes."

The maid in the palace retreated in response.

At this time, Wanqin waited patiently for Shang Kelan in the hall. After a while, she heard the door curtain opened and a scent came.

Subconsciously, Wanqin raised her eyes and saw Concubine Chen coming in a lavender cloak, the golden steps on her head were swaying peacefully, and her beauty can be described as "sinking fish and falling geese".

Ever since Concubine Jia's face recovered, Concubine Chen seldom came out of the Xianya Palace, and everyone regarded Concubine Jia as the most beautiful woman in the harem. Now that she saw Shang Kelan again, Wanqin always felt that she was a little different from the past.

Couldn't tell whether it was temperament or appearance, Wanqin didn't dare to be negligent, she just stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "My maidservant greets your mother, if your maidservant has cleaned up properly, please go to the Palace of Compassion, this servant has already ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair. "

Shang Kelan looked down at her and smiled slightly: "Miss, I'm in trouble."

Saying that, she walked out, Yuliu and Wanqin followed her respectively.

There is a distance to the courtyard, after all, the Hall of Mental Cultivation and the Palace of Xianya have different footprints.

On the way, Shang Kelan said to Wanqin: "It's almost Chinese New Year, and I'm also homesick. I don't know if Miss Wanqin's family is still there?"

Wanqin replied respectfully: "Returning to the empress, the servant girl was sold into the palace when she was young, and she has not left the palace for ten years, and the servant girl does not know whether her family is still there."

Frowning, Shang Kelan seemed regretful and said: "I don't see separation of flesh and blood the most, how about I find your family back for you? After all, Miss Wanqin also made some false accounts in the Compassion Ning Palace for her livelihood. The empress dowager has some expenses, if you have family members to help you, you won't have such a difficult time, right?"

There are only Shang Kelan, Yuliu and Wanqin in this snow field, and there is no one else. As soon as these words came out, Wanqin's face turned pale in an instant, showing a look of panic.

I saw her knelt down with a "plop", her voice was subdued and trembling, and she said: "Madam, please be clear, there must be someone chewing their tongues in front of Madam, and this servant is loyal to Empress Dowager, and I will never dare to do such a rebellious thing. !"

The icy snow stuck to her forehead, Wanqin was horrified: what did the imperial concubine Chen mean by saying this to her suddenly?
Shang Kelan looked down at her with deep and unpredictable eyes.

She squatted down, supported Wanqin's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I just want to know, did you say anything to me when Concubine Jia and Chen Zhaoyi were sowing discord in front of the Queen Mother?"

"Back... back to your mother's words, the servant only thinks about how to do her duty as a servant, and absolutely dare not watch, talk or listen too much..."

Wanqin didn't know what Shang Kelan wanted to do, so she could only answer according to her words.

Shang Kelan suddenly approached her ear, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Then, Miss Wanqin is in the Compassion Ning Palace, remember to say something nice for me, I am very grateful, and as a thank you, I will help you Miss Wanqin solves the case of fake accounts and embezzlement."

Wanqin lowered her head, struggling with hesitation in her eyes: "The servant has never done anything for the empress, so how do you know the truth of what the empress says?"

She was worried that Concubine Chen just wanted to use her.

At this time, Yuliu looked at her and said, "Miss Wanqin, we are all just slaves, and the concubine Chen holds the Phoenix Seal and is favored by His Majesty, the concubine Chen and the empress dowager, who is more important?" It is suitable to be your master, who can give you a great future, don't need to think about it, you should understand, right?"

"Now that Concubine Chen has offered you an olive branch on her own initiative, I don't know why Miss Wanqin has any hesitation?"

This Yuliu used to work by Concubine Jia's side, but now she has taken refuge in Concubine Chen, and it may not be that Concubine Jia has done anything to her, but has become the maid in charge of Concubine Chen.

After Zhizi was sent to the cold palace, Yuliu took Zhizi's place, which attracted the envy of countless people for a while.

Wanqin was already hesitant in her heart, and worried that if she didn't help Concubine Chen, she would be dragged into the water by Concubine Chen, and the Queen Mother would not punish her, and the palace rules would not let her go!
