Chapter 513: Jin Qilan
I saw that the woman in front of me was not at all different from the previous Shang Kelan, but she was wearing this familiar purple palace dress, which made Gardenia feel that she was Shang Kelan herself.
Soon, realizing that she was distracted, Gardenia quietly withdrew her gaze and said respectfully: "Please Miss Lan go to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after breakfast." ”
Although she reacted quickly, Shang Kelan still saw it, and the amazement that flashed from her eyes at that moment disappeared.
So, a smile flashed in her eyes, and then she sat down at the table and waited for the palace maid to serve the food.
I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, the dishes served today are all her favorite foods, including chicken soup, glutinous rice cakes, and a boiled egg, a stack of small pickles, three meat dishes, a bowl of jasper millet porridge, and a stack of cut fruits.
These dishes are not the most exquisite food in the imperial dining room, but they are Shang Kelan's favorite.
Gardenia also saw the food that Shang Kelan ate at this time, and for a while, she couldn't help but look at Shang Kelan who was eating breakfast, and asked softly: "Today's breakfast was specially ordered by His Majesty, and Miss Lan still has the habit of eating?"
Shang Kelan didn't think much about it, and subconsciously replied: "Meat and vegetarian matching, comprehensive nutrition, and fruits, I like it very much, the taste made by the chef in the imperial dining room is really great!" ”
She took a sip of the porridge with a nostalgic expression on her face.
But Gardenia's eyes narrowed slightly, and a suspicious look flashed in her eyes: she has served the queen for so long, and these breakfasts are obviously the queen's favorite food, why does this Lan Ke look like the queen mother, and even behave so similarly?
However, what makes Gardenia even more strange is that she does all of this to give people a natural feeling, not like imitating or learning it early on.
But when she didn't notice, Shang Kelan also glanced at her secretly, and a smile flashed in her eyes: Gardenia has already noticed it, right? Whether it is Lan Ke or Shang Kelan, in fact, she is just herself.
Looking at the tangled state inadvertently revealed in Gardenia's eyes, Shang Kelan was in a very good mood, and followed Gardenia to Cining Palace to see the Queen Mother, because the little prince was raised in the Queen Mother's Palace, so Shang Kelan could only come here.
When she was about to arrive at Cining Palace, Shang Kelan happened to be in the morning, and the Queen Mother should have lunch in a quarter of an hour.
The sky is crisp and sunny, inside the Cining Palace.
In the courtyard, the Queen Mother was drinking tea, and after a while, she saw Wanqin walking over with a woman in purple.
The Queen Mother looked back at the footsteps, but when she saw Shang Kelan, her eyes showed a look of shock, and she couldn't help muttering: "Concubine Chen? ”
Immediately, she shook her head, and Lan Ke's face appeared in her eyes.
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help laughing at herself: I really scared myself, how could a dead person come back to life?
It's just that this woman is too much like Concubine Chen!
When she approached with Shang Kelan, the Queen Mother got up to greet her, and Shang Kelan also saluted her respectfully: "People's girl Lan Ke, see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old!" ”
The Queen Mother smiled and helped her up: "You are Miss Lan?" It's much better than yesterday, but how did you think of coming to the Cining Palace of the Mourning Family? ”
On the side, Gardenia stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, Miss Lan is a person of loyalty and filial piety, I heard that the Queen Mother has lived in Cining Palace for a long time, Miss Lan thought of coming to visit the Queen Mother, and talked to the Queen Mother by the way." ”
Even though Shang Kelan came to Cining Palace to see the little prince, he couldn't say it clearly.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the precious grandson of the Queen Mother, she has never been reluctant to let outsiders see her, even if she participates in the palace banquet, when Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to attend, the Queen Mother always asks Her Majesty to take him with her.
At this time, the Queen Mother and Lan Ke are not familiar with each other, and if she dares to say her intentions, it will only arouse the suspicion of the Queen Mother.
Shang Kelan naturally understood the details, but she didn't expect Gardenia to help her. Hot Spot Library
Sure enough, when the Queen Mother heard this, she looked at Shang Kelan with some satisfaction in her eyes.
"Then sit outside with the mourning family for a while, I don't know where Miss Lan is?"
The Queen Mother said softly, and helped Shang Kelan to do it at the table.
Shang Kelan replied quietly: "The folk girl came from Shuzhou and is familiar with Mrs. Su in Lu Shilang's mansion. ”
"Oh, it turns out that Miss Lan is a relative of Lu Shilang's family."
This morning, as soon as the Queen Mother got up, Jin Yantang came to find her, asked her to send those show girls out of the palace, and told her the truth, this Lanke girl is the person he likes.
The Queen Mother just wants Jin Yantang to have someone by her side, how many concubines there are in this harem, but she doesn't care now.
Moreover, this Lan girl is young and beautiful, if Jin Yantang has the heart to love her, can she still not conceive an heir?
The Queen Mother understood in her heart, and her attitude towards Shang Kelan was even more gentle.
While the two were talking, they sat down on the stone table under the elm money tree, as if inadvertently mentioning it, Shang Kelan's eyes flashed slightly, and she smiled and said to the Queen Mother: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince is talented and intelligent, and even the Queen Mother praised him, I wonder if the Queen Mother has any secret recipes for teaching children?" I'll be able to train my naughty little brother in the future. ”
Doesn't this mean that the Queen Mother has a good way to teach her son?
Hearing this, the Queen Mother patted the back of Shang Kelan's hand with a smile, and said to her as if imparting experience: "What is the secret recipe for teaching children?" Teaching by word and deed is very important, but sometimes it's not bad to listen to the child's thoughts, but unfortunately the child's mother died early, so that the little prince often asked me about his mother's parents. ”
This is a headache for the Queen Mother, I'm afraid that when he grows up, even the Queen Mother won't be able to teach him.
Hearing the Queen Mother say this, a touch of indescribable emotion flashed in Shang Kelan's heart, guilt and helplessness were intertwined, as if she was pinched by an invisible hand, and she was a little out of breath.
But soon, she comforted the queen mother and said: "The little prince will understand in the future, but it is almost noon, and the little prince should also get out of school, so the people will not disturb the queen mother and the little prince to eat, and the people will retire." ”
The words just now made Shang Kelan a little timid, and she hadn't thought about what to say when she saw Peach Blossom Cake.
The Queen Mother felt that this Lan Ke was chatting with her, and she was quite happy, so she stayed: "What are you going to do?" If Miss Lan doesn't dislike the mourning family, she will stay here and eat together. ”
In a few words, the Queen Mother can't fully see her temperament, stay for dinner, get along for a while, and the Queen Mother can understand this Lan girl better.
After all, looking at Jin Yantang's meaning, his feelings for this Lan girl don't seem to be fake.
"No ......"
Shang Kelan was about to excuse herself, but a tender and soft voice sounded at the entrance of Cining Palace at the same time as her voice.
I only heard the man: "Imperial grandmother, I'm back!" ”
Imperial grandmother?
Suddenly, Shang Kelan stiffened, and the emotions in her heart poured out as if she couldn't close the floodgates, and she subconsciously looked back, but saw a little boy wearing a four-clawed golden dragon pattern embroidered in azure color, walking towards them.
The boy had a little baby fat on his face, but he was not very fat, tall and thin, and his eyes were very bright.
He doesn't look very old, but there is a majesty between his eyebrows, and his appearance is similar to Jin Yantang, but he is not as indifferent as Jin Yantang.
