Chapter 8 The Whispers of the Imperial Study

"It's Concubine Ning."

Gardenia's eyes were good, and she saw Concubine Ning standing on the path from a distance, but the path to the imperial study was far away, what did she mean by taking a long detour?

"Niangniang, shall we still go over?"

Gardenia always felt that Concubine Ning was sitting there, as if she was waiting for someone.

"Let's go,"

She curled the corners of her lips, "What are you afraid of, that path is not just for her to walk." ”

The weather was hot and dry, and she felt a refreshing feeling after walking two steps, and the trail was very good, a cool shade, and the shadows of the green leaves swayed, dispelling a large area of heat.

"My sister is here too, but you discovered my sister's stealing cold."

Concubine Ning stood and turned around, the hair on her forehead was not messy at all, but there were slight beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Why, isn't my sister here too?"

Shang Kelan frowned, could it be that she was thinking too much?

"Then let's rest for a while, this is a good place, others only think that this side is far away, but this sheltered greenery, this palace feels that it has a different charm."

Shang Kelan nodded, the two chatted and exchanged a few words, and then walked to the imperial study together, at this time there was no one in the palace, the emperor was resting, so only the eunuch who led them in was left.

As soon as they entered, the two saw Concubine Hua sitting in the seat, eating the melons and fruits peeled by the maidservant, with a very leisurely face.

"Sister Hua, if the peel or juice gets on it, it's also a bad thing, I'm afraid I'll have to bother my father-in-law to change some paper."

Shang Kelan pulled together the lilac tulle skirt and hooked her lips slightly, but she looked serious.

Concubine Hua just raised her eyes and glanced at her, the anger on her face flashed, and she changed to a mocking tone: "What do you say, it's not time to copy yet, besides, this palace is to cool off, and eating some melons and fruits is also to relieve the heat a little without ice." ”

Shang Kelan raised her eyebrows slightly, everyone in this palace will go to get the daily ice cubes, Concubine Hua means that there is no need for ice to relieve the heat in her palace, in order to win favor, she can really endure it, so, she is afraid that she will have to help her!

"That being the case, you really should learn from your sister."

Shang Kelan casually agreed, glanced at the imperial study without a trace, and always felt that there was something wrong today, but the two of them, no matter how bold they were, they shouldn't start in this place, she forcibly suppressed the discomfort in her heart and sat down, quietly watching the two of them copy the book.

After a while, Concubine Hua couldn't sit still, looked up at the little eunuch standing next to her, called the maid silently, found a reason to take the little eunuch away, and put down her pen for a while.

Shang Kelan frowned, this book is so thick, the two of them are copying it here, it will definitely not be safe and stable all the time, aside from Concubine Ning, Concubine Hua will definitely not be at ease today, three women in one play, she is also feeling tired.

"Why didn't my sister write it?"

She opened her lips lightly, and the heat of her whole body also rose, and there was no ice in the palace, because they were punished, so naturally they were not allowed, but although some people were fanning the wind, it was the same as not, and the sweat was also stained with the underwear.

"Why is my sister so rigid, this horse is tired of running, and she still needs to rest, let alone people?"

'Horses run but people are duty, you copy books because you make mistakes, and the two have nothing to do with each other.' Shang Kelan silently sneered, but nodded anyway, an expression that seemed to sound reasonable.

"That's right, I'm tired of copying this palace, and I'll tell you something interesting."

Concubine Hua paused, and her tone couldn't tell whether she was gloating or simply finding it interesting: "When I passed by the Jiuqu Lotus Pond just now, I wanted to cool off, but who would have thought that the little palace maid on the opposite side of the shore didn't know what she was doing, and she fell off the bridge. ”

"Which lady's palace maid is so careless?"

Concubine Ning took the opportunity to answer, and Shang Kelan looked at her lightly, waiting for her to continue.

"I don't know, Bengong was startled, so he hurried over to eat some fruit to suppress the shock, and it was much better."

Concubine Hua said, her eyes also fluttered, as if she ...... Something ill-intentioned?

"Let you copy the book, why do you talk about eating?"

A voice sounded, the three of them didn't dare to say more, knelt down in unison, Shang Kelan looked at the ground with her eyes, and had a bad premonition in her heart, this palace maid falling into the water may not be simple, but at the moment, she has no way to get out for the time being.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness, it's the concubine's fault, the concubine looked at the sweat on the fingertips of the two sisters, and their foreheads were also full, afraid that the writing would be in the gods, and the sweat beads dripped on the paper, for fear that it would be rewritten again, so she said to rest."

Shang Kelan took the initiative to plead guilty, folded her hands on her forehead, and a lot of sweat beads on her forehead rubbed up.

Jin Yantang's eyes swept around slightly, and when he saw that this was indeed the case, he waved his hand and said a few words without mentioning it again.

"But I just heard Concubine Hua say that there is something to eat, the imperial study is not a place to eat, don't take punishment seriously, or Concubine Hua, you didn't sincerely admit your mistake?"

His voice was not loud, and he came with the cool air of the large ice cube that he had just moved in, but Concubine Hua was still drenched in cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, this is a grievance for my sister, since Your Majesty ordered the concubines to look at the two sisters, the concubines should be conscientious, but Sister Hua is because there is no ice in the palace, so she brought some melons and fruits to cool off."

"There is no ice in Concubine Hua's Palace, is it because the Internal Affairs Office has not given enough?"

As soon as Jin Yantang's words came out, this Concubine Hua immediately came to her senses, she only felt that Shang Kelan was stupid in her heart, she made this gesture today, just to be able to please her, isn't she sleepy now and send a pillow?

"Naturally, it is enough, but today His Majesty just taught his concubines to be thrifty, so naturally they don't dare to waste it, this ice is not much, and it also requires a lot of silver."

Concubine Hua said, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, she deliberately selected jewelry yesterday, using the batch of jewelry that had just entered the palace, old and charming, dignified and not luxurious, such intentions, she didn't believe that she couldn't get the emperor's praise.

It's just that the hall is quiet, and there is no word, only two palace maids are left behind the seats holding fans to gently fan the cool air on the ice.

Jin Yantang pursed his lips and cast an inquiring look at Shang Kelan, this Concubine Hua he originally felt that he was a little arrogant, but he didn't have to spend any brains, but now it seems that there is a lot of trouble.

Although the ice cubes are troublesome, there are more places that can be saved to make a fuss, but Concubine Hua is so righteous and righteous that he feels uneasy to blow the cool air.

Shang Kelan received Jin Yantang's eyes, sighed slightly in her heart, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that although it is thrifty, it is indispensable, if a person falls ill, the medicine will cost a lot, and she will be uncomfortable. ”

"What do you see?"

He didn't wait for Concubine Hua to speak, so he hurriedly took it, for fear that he would say one, two, three.

"Your Majesty......" Concubine Hua raised her head quite aggrievedly.
