Chapter 136: Reduction of Usage

A flash of disdain flashed in Fu Qingxi's gloomy eyes, but he said respectfully: "In this way, the slave will be relieved, and the slave will retire." ”

After saying that, Fu Qingxi saluted him and left Ximeng Palace.

At this time, Red Sleeves walked in, holding a bowl of peach-colored soup in his hand and said, "Niangniang, the peach blossom soup cooked for you in the imperial dining room is ready." ”

Zhao Kehan had just learned that Shang Kelan had asked Jin Yantang for the half-moon period, and he was jealous in his heart.

She was jealous that Shang Kelan could be treated so leniently by Jin Yantang, and she also hated Shang Kelan for preempting her position in Jin Yantang's heart.

Seeing the red sleeves coming in with the peach blossom soup, she said angrily: "Feed the palace to drink!" ”

The red sleeves lowered their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes, and fed her soup respectfully, not daring to be half lazy.

"Poof!"

As soon as he took a sip, Zhao Kehan's eyes suddenly widened and he spit out the peach blossom soup in his mouth.

The red-sleeved clothes were stained with sticky peach blossom soup, she frowned, quickly knelt down, and said, "Niang Niang is angry!" ”

Zhao Kehan knocked over the porridge with his hand, and said angrily: "Is this still peach blossom soup?" There is no taste of pearl powder at all! This palace is going to use this peach blossom soup to remove the scars on the face! ”

Compared with when she first entered the palace, the scar on her face has faded a lot, and she can't see it when she covers it with powder.

But she still misses her former fair and flawless skin!

The red sleeves said resignedly: "It's the queen's mother, saying that the peach blossom soup itself has the effect of beauty and beauty, and there is no need to add pearl powder, and that the cost of the harem is too great, and it is necessary to reduce the food and clothing of each palace to fill the treasury ......"

When Concubine Jia heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows, slapped the table and said angrily: "Why should she take care of the food and clothing in this palace?" Besides, when the palace was still a princess, if it weren't for His Majesty's face, she and the Wang family behind her would have been wiped out by the palace a long time ago, how could they survive to this day? This is a deliberate attempt to dismount the palace! ”

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Zhao Kehan simply said: "Forget it, help the palace to go to the imperial garden for a walk, and in addition, send two people to monitor Concubine Chen and prevent Concubine Chen from handling the case!" ”

"Yes!"

Redsleeves replied respectfully, helped her to her feet, and walked out.

As for the dirty peach blossom soup on his clothes, Red Sleeves silently wiped it with a handkerchief, and threw the handkerchief into his arms with nausea.

A few days passed, and the palace was calm.

The queen is more and more flattered by the harem concubines and minions, and the Kunning Palace, which used to be as cold as a cold palace, is now as lively as the New Year, and there are concubines to talk to the queen every day.

Just as it was announced that Shang Kelan was in charge of the palace, the most frequent person to visit the queen in Kunning Palace belonged to Jia Zhaoyi.

And Concubine Jia of Ximeng Palace, they didn't dare to offend, after all, Concubine Jia had a good relationship with the Queen Mother, and His Majesty was extremely tolerant of her.

As for the concubines of Xianya Palace, they robbed them of their favor as soon as they entered the palace, and later once favored the harem, and now when something happens, everyone avoids it, and there is the one who gloats, so he often goes to Xianya Palace to ridicule Concubine Chen.

The one who went the most was Concubine Hua.

On this day, at noon, Gardenia had just presented Shang Kelan with a morning meal, when there was a commotion outside the door.

"Concubine Hua, my mother has not seen guests in the past few days, please go back!"

The little palace maid guarding the door said hurriedly, and hurriedly followed to stop Concubine Hua, but was quickly pushed away by Concubine Hua.

I only heard Concubine Hua say arrogantly: "I can't come to see the former Concubine Chen's sister?" Get out of the way of Hongu! ”

The two were noisy all the way, and in the side hall, Shang Kelan, who was eating, couldn't help but rub her eyebrows with a headache. Teenage Classmates Network

Gardenia frowned, and as soon as she walked out of the door, she met Concubine Hua head-on.

Concubine Hua glanced at her, and Meizi and Yue'er behind grabbed Gardenia's arm one after another.

Gardenia was startled, suppressed her anger and said, "Concubine Hua, what do you mean by this?" ”

Concubine Hua touched the golden hairpin on her bun, and said without being salty or light: "It's not interesting, this palace just doesn't like you." ”

As she spoke, she sat down across from Shang Kelan.

Shang Kelan raised her eyes to look at her and smiled slightly: "Concubine Hua is so interested, and she didn't forget to come to see me at noon on a hot day." ”

Concubine Hua looked at her contemptuously and said: "Alas, this palace really doesn't want to come to this place, but I heard that a few days ago, you were lifted from the grounding by Your Majesty, and you were rewarded with some supplements by Your Majesty. ”

Hearing this, Shang Kelan's red lips raised slightly, and said, "Since Concubine Hua is living so poorly, can't she even afford supplements?" In this case, why do you want to run this trip in person, just ask someone to bring a message, and this palace will order someone to send it over. ”

Concubine Hua's face was pale, but before she could speak, Shang Kelan looked in the direction of Gardenia and said: "Gardenia, take the key to the palace to the treasury and hand over the supplements to Concubine Hua, remember to go to the imperial study later and report this matter to Your Majesty, lest Your Majesty mistakenly think that he has rewarded the palace with something, and this palace dares to be bold enough to give it to others." ”

Gardenia shook off Yue'er and Meizi with a strong hand, took the key handed to her by Shang Kelan and said, "Yes, the slave understands." ”

With that, she turned to leave.

Concubine Hua hurriedly pulled her, turned her head and smiled at Shang Kelan: "This palace is just a joke with my sister, why is my sister so serious?" ”

Shang Kelan looked at her with a smile, raised her sleeves and waved at the food on the table, and said, "Then Concubine Hua is not leaving, do you want to stay and dine with the palace?" ”

Concubine Hua let go of the gardenia, and the gardenia stepped aside.

After seeing Concubine Hua glance at the dishes on the table, she frowned and said, "It's all vegetarian, and the pigs don't eat it!" ”

"Gardenia, add a pair of chopsticks to Concubine Hua."

As soon as Concubine Hua's words fell, Shang Kelan ordered to go down.

Hearing this, Concubine Hua hurriedly stopped: "Eh, I ate it when I came to this palace, you better eat it yourself, such a poor and sour thing, like pig food, it makes people lose their appetite when they see it!" ”

With that, she got up and hurriedly walked out, Yue'er and Meizi followed her respectfully.

Gardenia didn't think about getting dishes and chopsticks for Concubine Hua at all, and when she saw her leaving, she glared at Concubine Hua and said, "I don't know what this Concubine Hua has in her head, I know disgusting people all day long!" ”

Shang Kelan's body is weak, she can only eat light food, even if she loves to eat big fish and meat, for the sake of her body, she has to settle down.

She took a sip of porridge and said with a smile, "She's been coming too often lately." ”

Even if you want to disgust yourself, you don't need to do it twice a day, right?

It's like she's here to monitor whether she's in the palace and what she's doing every day.

Gardenia heard the meaning of Shang Kelan's words, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Niangniang, you mean that Concubine Hua came here for another purpose?" ”

Shang Kelan nodded, and then said: "Later, if you invite Imperial Doctor Li over, you will say that the palace was angry with Concubine Hua, the old disease recurred, the condition was serious, and it was necessary to lie down for ten days and a half months, it is best to say that my disease is contagious, and the people who serve the palace are all sick." ”

Gardenia was puzzled: "Why, Niangniang?" ”

Shang Kelan raised her eyes to look at her and said with a smile: "Who would be so stupid to spy on a person suffering from a contagious disease?" ”

"Oh! The slave and maid understand, and the slave and maid will do it! Gardenia suddenly realized, turned around and walked out of the side hall......
