Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 562 Discovering Portraits
No matter how shocked Shang Kelan was, outside, the Empress Dowager chatted happily with Princess Loulan and the envoy.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Sensing Shang Kelan's strange mood, Jin Qilan couldn't help raising his head and asking her tentatively.

Shang Kelan came back to her senses, looked away calmly, then pulled Jin Qilan to a chair and sat down, said with a smile: "It's nothing, just thinking about what to eat at noon."

Hearing this, Jin Qilan sighed, and looked at a grape: "It would be great if the adoptive father could come, mother, you said that as the queen, will the adoptive father come to see you in this canonization ceremony?"

Adoptive father?

If Shang Kelan remembers correctly, when Jin Qilan was just born, she hugged Jin Qilan to Yuchi who had been taking care of her as a godson. Thinking that she hadn't seen Yuchi for three years in this world, Shang Kelan thought It just showed a little miss, and I don't know how Yuchi's situation is now...

After a while, she pulled out of her thoughts, and said helplessly to Jin Qilan: "I also really want to meet your adoptive father, by the way, Qilan, how do you remember that you have a foster father?"

"During the holidays, my adoptive father will come to see me in the palace. I like my adoptive father. He treats me very well."

Unexpectedly, this child and Yuchi hit it off quite well.

After listening to Jin Qilan's words, Shang Kelan looked at him tenderly and touched his head: "Okay, I will ask His Majesty about this matter, let's read a book first."

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, Wanqin hurried in and saluted respectfully: "Miss Qi Lan, the Empress Dowager invites you to go out to meet guests."

As soon as these words came out, Shang Kelan's eyes flickered slightly: "Is that Princess Loulan outside?"

"Yes."

After listening to Wanqin's words, Shang Kelan's heart gradually calmed down. She believed that she would never be wrong. That Princess Loulan was very similar to the servant who shot a dart at her last time.

"Okay, let's lead the way."

After she nodded to Wanqin, she took Jin Qilan to the outside yard.

At this time, in the yard, Chi Miao and the Queen Mother were sitting and talking to each other. Chi Miao was lively and cheerful, and could say some pleasant words, which attracted the Queen Mother to love her again. Let's eat here, Aijia will ask the Imperial Dining Room to cook something you like, okay? The Compassionate Ning Palace is rarely so lively!"

Chi Miao smiled brightly, held her hand instead, and said in a hearty voice: "Thank you, Auntie, for your kindness, but before that, I would like to formally meet that Miss Lan, who is your majesty's favorite. The beauty who goes with him must not be a rouge fan, right?"

Even a mother would be happy to be praised her son so much by others.

The Empress Dowager covered her lips and smiled, and suddenly her eyes narrowed, she raised her hand behind her, and said with a smile, "Isn't that here? Look."

Hearing this, Chi Miao and Chi Yuan, who was standing behind her, turned around to look at the same time. In front, they saw a young woman walking slowly towards them.

The woman was wearing a blue skirt with white orchid pleats, and a white tulle wide-sleeved shirt that reached her ankles. There was no wind blowing, but when her dress moved lightly, it seemed that she was riding on the wind. , the temperament is clean and dusty, giving people a sense of freshness.

Different from Chi Miao's bronze complexion, her skin is tender and fair, her clear autumn eyes are calm and unwavering, her pink lips are slightly raised, and the smile on her face gives people a friendly feeling and looks approachable.

After a while, Wanqin brought Shang Kelan to the crowd, and respectfully saluted them: "Report to the Empress Dowager, Your Royal Highness, Miss Lan and His Highness the Crown Prince have arrived."

After she finished speaking, Shang Kelan also bowed to the two of them, with a calm and natural expression, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Chi Miao stared at her seriously, her eyes unknowingly became sharper.

Shang Kelan noticed her emotional change, and she vaguely understood what this Princess Loulan meant for Jin Yantang.

Jin Yantang had told her a few days ago that his master threatened him to agree to the marriage this time. This Princess Loulan must be Jin Yantang's junior sister, right?

Suddenly, Shang Kelan's eyes flickered, she raised her eyes and smiled and said to Chi Miao: "Princess Loulan really deserves her reputation. I only know what Loulan beauty looks like when I saw her today. It's just that the princess looks at me like this, but can't she know me?"

Who wants to know her?If it wasn't for the appearance of this woman, she should be the only woman standing beside Senior Brother now!
Chi Miao suppressed the discomfort in her heart, only hated that the darts that day failed to kill Shang Kelan, but she glanced at her indifferently: "This princess comes from the royal family, but she never associates with anyone of unknown origin. Miss Lan, don't make such jokes with this princess."

It's just that the two of them confronted each other just now, the Queen Mother held their hands helplessly, looked at them each and said, "Okay, okay, you two are acquaintances of Ai's family, so talking about it means you're out of touch. Come, at noon today, the Ai family asked the people in the imperial dining room to prepare good wine and good food, so we all stay and eat together, it is good to get to know each other well."

Naturally, the queen mother had to give her this face when she spoke. Chi Miao was unwilling to sit with Shang Kelan and was about to refuse, but Chi Yuan replied for her again in advance: "Thank you for the kindness of the queen mother, the princess and the ministers can't ask for it."

Both of them agreed, Shang Kelan naturally had nothing to say, besides, she was very happy to have dinner with Chi Miao, so she could take this opportunity to test Chi Miao's temper.

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager smiled and led them into the main hall.

At noon, when Jin Yantang had just returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, people from the Palace of Compassion and Ning came to inform that Shang Kelan was staying at the Palace of Compassion and Ning for dinner and would be back in the afternoon.

Therefore, Jin Yantang had to eat something alone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and when he was half-reclining on a chair to rest, he accidentally saw a portrait that was pressed on the table by Shang Kelan.

This portrait depicts a servant who fell into the lake, and then climbed from the lake to the shore, revealing half of his face.

Moreover, this half of the face also looks a little blurry, only a pair of narrow and soft eyes are impressive, and there is a tear mole under the corner of her eye.

It was just a glance, but Jin Yantang's eyes were slightly startled. Although he hadn't seen Chi Miao for seven years, Jin Yantang recognized that the servant in the portrait was Chi Miao in disguise.

Shang Kelan is very good at drawing, especially in landscape sketching.

On the side, seeing Jin Yantang staring at the painting, Xiao Shan, who was serving in the bedroom, whispered, "Your Majesty, this is the portrait Miss Lan painted yesterday."

Hearing this, Jin Yantang came back to his senses, and then asked with a slight frown: "Why does Miss Lan have such a portrait? Who is this servant, and why did she appear in the imperial garden?"

Judging from the scene on the portrait, Shang Kelan saw him in the imperial garden scene.

But how could there be such a similar person in the world?

Jin Yantang didn't believe that Chi Miao just came to the palace, and a person who looked very similar to her appeared in the palace. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
