Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 80
The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, it doesn't matter if I give you this prayer bead."

In fact, the Queen Mother was really reluctant to part with this Buddhist bead, after all, she had been wearing it for so many years, and she was soaked in the Buddha's spirit next to the incense burner.

Nanny Chen took the Buddhist beads that the Empress Dowager had taken off, and handed it to Shang Kelan: "Concubine Chen, please."

The rest of the concubines did not expect the queen mother to be so generous, so they envied Shang Kelan again for a while, and there were not a few jealous eyes cast on her.

Concubine Hua gave Shang Kelan an annoyed look, and when she got to her, Concubine Hua recited a lotus poem of her own, but she was only a little educated, and this poem sounded a little less artistic than Shang Kelan's.

But Zhao Kehan ​​smiled and said to Concubine Hua: "Concubine Hua is talented, please choose a piece of jewelry."

Shang Kelan raised her eyebrows, and looked at Concubine Hua with the surprise on her face without concealing her surprise, her eyes seemed to say: uneven, without rhyme, it is actually a poem?
Concubine Hua blushed and became even angrier.

She pointed at Shang Kelan unceremoniously and said, "I want this string of beads in your hand!"

Concubine Hua wanted to snatch the Buddhist beads just obtained from the Queen Mother before they were warmed up.

Looking at Concubine Hua's eyes, Shang Kelan couldn't help feeling amused.

She readily took off the beads in her hand, and Zhizi presented the bracelet of beads to Concubine Hua. After taking it, Concubine Hua smiled triumphantly at her.

During the period, more than 30 concubines created their own poems about reciting lotus flowers. What refreshing poems can a group of women raised in deep boudoirs make?

The answer is, no.

But Zhao Kehan ​​gave them all, as if this was just a farce.

Simply, Shang Kelan didn't take it seriously.

On the other hand, Zhizi looked at these women who were arty, and couldn't help complaining to Shang Kelan in a low voice: "My lady, if the poems written by these people are heard by His Majesty and the eldest son, I'm afraid I can't help but want to cover my ears Bar?"

There are many talented women in the palace, but these women are unwilling to show their talents, so others will not be able to discover their sharpness.

Hearing this, Shang Kelan only smiled and said nothing.

In the end, when it was Zhao Kehan's turn, Zhao Kehan ​​recited a poem that he created himself. This poem was far from something that a teenage girl could compose no matter in terms of background or level.

After hearing this, Shang Kelan didn't point it out.

But the queen mother was very happy, and asked someone to record Zhao Kehan's poem, and also rewarded Zhao Kehan ​​with a set of head jewelry.

After Zhao Kehan ​​thanked her, he suddenly changed the subject and said to Concubine Hua with a smile: "Concubine Hua, unfortunately, the women of the people also fell in love with the string of Buddhist beads in your hand, I wonder if you can give up your love?"

Could it be that Zhao Kehan ​​was deliberately angry with her?How can there be any reason to return the things in her concubine Hua's hands?
But think about it, isn't that how she treated Shang Kelan just now?
Concubine Hua's complexion became ugly. Although she was reluctant, she still endured the unhappiness in her heart and gave Zhao Kehan ​​the Buddhist bead bracelet.

Concubine Hua thought that Shang Kelan must be laughing at herself at this time, so she subconsciously looked in Shang Kelan's direction.

But Shang Kelan was holding a blue and white porcelain teacup, taking a sip of the herbal tea, and talking to the people around him with a peaceful smile.

Concubine Hua was annoyed that she was still smiling, and when she was about to look away, she accidentally discovered that Zhao Kehan ​​was also looking at Shang Kelan, and her eyes were gloomy, even though it was only for a moment, Concubine Hua still spotted her!

So that's the case... Zhao Kehan ​​doesn't like Shang Kelan very much either!
Concubine Hua smiled with her lips curled up, her eyes flickered, then she poured a glass of fruit wine and came to Zhao Kehan, and smiled at her friendlyly: "Miss Zhao, you just entered the palace, but I feel that I have a lot of fate with you, and I want to be with you." chat."

As she said that, Yue'er brought a chair and placed it beside Zhao Kehan. Zhao Kehan ​​glanced at her, but didn't speak, with a calm expression on her face, completely lost the elegance of reciting poems and fighting against each other just now.

Shang Kelan is like the lotus in the lotus pond, her every move can always attract people's attention to her, even though she wrote a good poem just now, it didn't attract these concubines to pay more attention to her .

If the Queen Mother hadn't supported her, I'm afraid she wouldn't even have the qualifications to stand here and drink tea with these concubines!

Thinking about it, Zhao Kehan's mood became more and more depressed.

Concubine Hua took the initiative to show her favor, but what purpose did she have?
But Concubine Hua didn't care about her attitude, instead she drank the fruit wine and said to Zhao Kehan ​​with a smile: "Then it's settled, at five o'clock today, I will go to the Compassionate Ning Palace to visit Sister Zhao again."

The address for looking for Kehao has changed from "Ms. Zhao" to "Sister Zhao", and it is obvious that she wants to stand in the same camp as Zhao Kehan.

Zhao Kehan ​​looked up at her for a while, then suddenly took the wine glass and drank the wine in it.

She smiled cleverly at Concubine Hua, and said softly: "The girl is waiting for the arrival of Concubine Hua."

The queen mother was talking to the queen, so she didn't notice what they were talking about.

Nanny Chen lowered her eyebrows and stood beside the Queen Mother quietly, she didn't seem to hear what the two said.

Later, when the Youshi banquet was coming to an end, Zhao Kehan ​​proposed to compete with the concubines in piano skills.

She is good at piano and dancing, and she shines in the banquet.

That white dress embroidered with rhododendrons seemed to be designed for dancing. In the promenade, she danced like a frightened bird.

It really made the concubines feel Zhao Kehan's personal strength. In comparison, Shang Kelan only played a common folk song, which seemed much more ordinary.

Only Zhizi knew that her mother didn't regard them as competitors.

By the time of You, the banquet was almost over.

Zhao Kehan ​​was the only one who stole the limelight.

There are still undercurrents surging on the peaceful surface in the harem, let alone above the court.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the crimson glow shrouded Meizhou.

Shang Chengyuan wore a set of brown cloth clothes, with a cloth belt to tie his hair, and he was dressed like a commoner.

Shang Kelin was also wearing a blue cloth, with a bag on his back, and supported Shang Chengyuan on the way. They mixed among the refugees and came to an open-air teahouse.

After helping Shang Chengyuan to sit down, Shang Kelin slapped a piece of silver on the table and said, "Xiao Er, here is a steamed stuffed bun and a pot of tea!"

The waiter ran over to take the silver with a smile, and politely said to the two of them, "Okay, please wait a moment!"

After the waiter went down, the rest of the refugees also sat down near the teahouse, each with a disheveled face and a package on their back.

Shang Chengyuan stroked his beard, looked at the setting sun in the sky, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "One day, I will pass through Meizhou and reach Yuzhou. This time Shu is suffering, but the magistrate of Yuzhou doesn't care about it. Wait until I find out. The truth will be reported to the Holy One.”

"Father, drink tea."

Shang Kelin poured a bowl of tea and put it in front of Shang Chengyuan. Hearing this, he couldn't help looking at him angrily and said, "You said that you are almost fifty, and you still think that you are in your thirties? For the sake of the Holy Majesty, this For three years, you have been suppressing corrupt officials, grievances from common people, nurturing talents for the court, and you have done a lot of virtuous things, so you can't rest?"
