In this Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, all officials who are in the fourth grade and above can bring their families to the banquet, and the palace concubines in the harem can participate in the banquet.

After Shang Kelan drew up the list, Yuan Ge also discussed it with Fupu, only to hear her say to Shang Kelan: "Niangniang, this heat stroke palace banquet, the slave maid suggested that chrysanthemums should be the mainstay, among which the wives and daughters of individual officials are allergic to osmanthus, for the sake of safety, it is more prudent to use chrysanthemums." ”

Hearing her say this, Shang Kelan couldn't help but nodded in agreement, and said, "Okay, just use chrysanthemums, Father-in-law Fu, I bother you to send this list to the Ministry of Rites, so that Lord Shangshu can see it, in addition, Yuan Ge, you will go to the Internal Affairs Mansion later, prepare the things to be used for the palace banquet, and the palace will also go to the sect later." ”

After some orders, they acted in an orderly manner, and everyone said respectfully: "Yes, Niangniang!" ”

When they were gone, the dormitory was quiet.

Shang Kelan rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, and Gardenia stepped forward worriedly: "Niangniang, how are you?" ”

At this time, Xiaoxia came in with a bowl of sugar water and said, "Niangniang, do you want to drink some freshly stewed pear white fungus porridge from the slave?" ”

Shang Kelan smiled and said, "There are still many things to deal with in this palace, so don't think about being idle." ”

The Mid-Autumn Festival is an unusual festival, not only to arrange the Jinluan Palace, but also to arrange the harem.

Shang Kelan was busy and covered up for Jin Yantang for a few days, and the fifteenth day of August came.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, in the afternoon, officials and their families came to the palace one after another.

Most of the family members this time are their own daughters, these girls look fourteen or fifteen years old, fifteen or sixteen years old, and all of them are beautiful and unforgettable.

Although His Majesty said that this year's draft ceremony was canceled, this did not prevent everyone from thinking about it and leaving an impression in front of His Majesty in other ways.

Who doesn't know that the four concubines of the second rank in this harem are all vacant? Yes, everyone is coveting the four concubines.

In the harem, there are lights everywhere and the decoration is very lively.

Late Winter originally wanted to comb Shang Kelan's hair in a dignified and gentle bun, and this is also Shang Kelan's favorite style.

It's just that as soon as she started in late winter, Shang Kelan raised her hand and stopped: "Comb your hair in a solemn bun today, just according to the specifications of the imperial concubine." ”

In the past, in late winter, she wanted to comb Shang Kelan's imperial concubine's hair bun and give her the makeup of the imperial concubine, but Shang Kelan disliked cumbersome and gorgeous, so she didn't dress up so much, and always dressed plainly.

Hearing her take the initiative to say this, Late Winter nodded and said respectfully, "Yes, Niangniang." ”

Shang Kelan was busy grooming, and the other ladies were also bathing in incense.

In Ximeng Palace, Zhao Kexi invited the best female master in makeup from the capital, Zhao Kehan was dressed decently, and Zhao Kexi was dressed up pretty and cute.

One of the two sisters wore a brocade dress embroidered with a pink embroidered cuckoo bird, and the other wore a long skirt embroidered with begonias in sky blue, and wore delicate jewelry on their heads, which looked very beautiful.

After Zhao Kehan looked at Zhao Kexi's outfit a few times, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, come with me, let's go find the Queen Mother." ”

In the absence of His Majesty, they will be centered on the Queen Mother.

Zhao Kexi naturally understood this, and Zhao Kehan said too much, so she followed Zhao Kehan to Cining Palace.

At this time, the left prime minister's house.

Since noon, Mrs. Shang has been preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival to His Majesty and Niangniang, Shang Kelin sat in the lobby, watching Mrs. Shang busy, couldn't help sighing, and said: "Mother, it's all time, if you don't hurry up, the palace banquet will begin." ”

The palace banquets all started at the end of the day, and Mrs. Shang was afraid that the gifts she prepared would be thin, and she would lose face for Shang Kelan.

Mrs. Shang asked the maid to put away the last gift, then wiped the sweat from her forehead with a smile and satisfaction, and said, "It's okay now, let's go, son." "Heyuan book

The mother and son have similar personalities and are very close, but she loves the daughter who married into the royal family early.

It's just that Mrs. Shang was just about to leave here, but Shang Kelin suddenly stopped her and said, "Mother, wait, there is someone here who wants to introduce you." ”

Mrs. Shang was stunned for a moment, looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Can you introduce anyone to me?" ”

It's just that as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Shang Kelin clapping her hands.

As the sound of his clapping hands sounded, a maid in yellow walked out.

Her skin is like jade and her face is pretty, but her facial features are clearly Chen Yetan's appearance!

Judging from Chen Yetan's face, she doesn't seem to be very willing to wear women's clothes.

Mrs. Shang was also taken aback, and couldn't help but look at Shang Kelin in astonishment and said, "Isn't this Gongzi Chen?" How did you make people like this! ”

But Chen Gongzi dressed as a woman, why does he look so good-looking?

Thinking about it, Mrs. Shang couldn't help but secretly glance at Chen Yetan twice.

Shang Kelin smiled, stepped forward to support Mrs. Shang's shoulders and said, "Mother, you can use it with confidence, I gave Yetan silver, otherwise he can agree that I wear women's clothes to protect you?" ”

Shang Kelin had long known Chen Yetan's identity as a woman, and she was still not used to being a personal guard, so it was better to let her wear women's clothes back to protect Mrs. Shang.

Shang Kelin thought, his eyes flashing slightly.

Chen Yetan gritted his teeth, snorted, put his hands around his chest, and said: "I regret it now, I wear women's clothes for a day, you not only have to pay me a hundred taels of silver, but also let me command it for a day!" ”

Hearing this, Shang Kelin nodded and said with a smile: "Of course this is no problem, isn't it just to be your personal guard?" Don't worry, I get it all! ”

Shang Kelin's last sentence breathed and lengthened the end note, which made people sound meaningful.

Somehow, Chen Yetan suddenly got goosebumps.

She couldn't help but tremble, and then she helped Mrs. Shang, imitating the maid's tone and said, "Madam, the slave maid will help you to the carriage, the palace banquet is about to begin." ”

Unexpectedly, Chen Yetan dressed up as a man, his voice and behavior were similar to that of a man, but when he wore women's clothes, he was a little more enchanting and charming than a woman!

Mrs. Shang was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Okay, good ......"

The group came outside, the carriage was filled with gifts and people, and Shang Kelin followed behind the two on a horse.

At this time, in the Jinluan Palace.

There is a waiter standing at the door who is in charge of communication, and every time someone comes in, after handing over the invitation, the waiter will make an announcement.

When the guests were almost here, the Queen Mother, Zhao Kehan, and Zhao Kexi came to the Jinluan Palace.

The main hall, which was originally very lively and chattering, instantly quieted down, and only listened to the inner servant preaching: "The Queen Mother, Concubine Jia, and Miss Zhao, the daughter of the Zhao Mansion in Zhejiang, have arrived!" ”

Everyone knows this Miss Zhao, and looking at her closeness to Concubine Jia and the Queen Mother, they know that she has a lot to do with Concubine Jia.

For a while, everyone knelt down and saluted: "See the Queen Mother, Concubine Jia, I wish the Queen Mother a thousand years old!" ”

The Queen Mother ignored them, and sat down in her position with a majestic expression, and only after Concubine Jia and Zhao Kexi took their seats did she raise her hand and say, "The Qing family is exempt!" ”
