Chapter 37: Concubine Ning's gaffe
At the time of the unitary, the sky was not completely dark, and the room was already brightly lit.
Jin Yantang sat at the table to deal with the folds, while Fupu respectfully reported to him what happened in the Cining Palace today.
After hearing Shang Kelan's punishment of Na Cui'er and Li Chenxiu, Jin Yantang couldn't help but soften his eyes: it seems that his Lan'er is still kind-hearted and never takes people's lives, but this punishment is too light after all.
Seeing that Jin Yantang's expression was much more relaxed than yesterday, Fu Pu asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, are you going to turn over the cards tonight?" ”
As he spoke, Fupu waved his hand to the little eunuch who was waiting on the side, and the little eunuch walked up with a tray full of green cards and stood respectfully in front of Jin Yantang.
Jin Yantang put his hand on the green card, his fingers paused, and a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
But soon, he flipped over a green card, and then sat back down in front of the bookcase without looking at it.
Fu Pu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you turned over Concubine Chen's sign tonight, but do you want the slave to go to the Xianya Palace to inform Concubine Chen?" ”
Lan'er's brand?
The corners of Jin Yantang's lips raised slightly, and said, "No need, let's talk about it after I finish dealing with these official duties, and in addition, ask the imperial dining room to make more meat and vegetables and send them to Concubine Chen." ”
His Lan'er likes to eat meat dishes.
Fupu hurriedly replied: "The slave obeys!" ”
After speaking, Fu Pu went down, and in the huge imperial study, two little eunuchs waited aside, and Jin Yantang buried the first batch of readings, and analyzed the situation in the court in his heart.
Towards evening, the afterglow of the sunset has not yet set, in the elegant palace.
There were two pieces of cold ice in the dormitory, and the palace maid fanned the wind on the side, dispelling the stuffiness in the room.
After Shang Kelan bathed, she changed into a white tulle dress and lay on the beauty couch, looking at the collection of folk tales and essays in her hand.
In the 21st century, Shang Kelan liked to read novels, chase dramas, and occasionally make a little cake to eat, but now there is no such condition here, so she has to read books to relieve her boredom.
At this time, Xiaoxia walked in with a food box, her cheeks were round, and she also had a happy smile on her face, which made people think she was very cute at a glance.
Shang Kelan hurriedly put down the book, walked to the table of the Eight Immortals with her shoes on, looked at the food box expectantly and said, "What's for today's dinner?" Is rock sugar chowder? ”
The rock sugar chowder in this palace is similar to the ice powder she eats in modern times, and it is especially relieving the heat in summer, and I don't know what happened recently, Shang Kelan especially likes to eat sweets.
Gardenia couldn't help but shake her head and said, "I really don't know what you think, Cui'er and that Imperial Doctor Li obviously teamed up with Concubine Ning to harm you, but you gave them such a light punishment, and you don't want to think about it, if you are really demoted to Sanpin Zhaoyi, how sad your future life will be?" ”
In and out of the words, Gardenia was upset with Shang Kelan, and felt that Shang Kelan was a little too virtuous to repay her grievances.
Ke Kelan's eyes moved slightly, and she said in a delicate voice while lifting the lid of the food box: "Be a good man, why do you have blood on your hands?" In the future, when we get to the Buddha's side, what should we do if the Buddha doesn't take us in? ”
Besides, Cui'er is useless to Concubine Ning, according to Concubine Ning's ruthless style, can she live for ten years?
Even though Imperial Physician Li was useful to Concubine Ning, was it useless to herself?
Shang Kelan took these thoughts to the bottom of her heart, and automatically ignored the fact that she punished the two of them too lightly.
After Gardenia listened to Shang Kelan's words in her ears, she couldn't help but laugh angrily: "Niangniang, when did you start believing in Buddhism, why have you never heard of it?" ”
Xiaoxia saw that the two of them were going to talk endlessly, so she hurriedly glanced at the two of them and said, "Oh, Sister Gardenia, Niangniang, don't talk about it anymore, Manager Li told me today, Niangniang's dinner today has six meat dishes!" ”
Six meat dishes?
Shang Kelan's eyes lit up, lifted the lid of the food box, and brought the dish out of it, Xiaoxia introduced on the side: "This is assorted chicken shreds, and this one is 10,000 characters spicy belly shreds......"
Shang Kelan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't introduce it, I can't finish eating so many dishes, go and call Late Winter and Zhiqiu and Wenchun to come over, see if Yuan Ge is in the palace, if he is, let Yuan Ge eat together." ”
Shang Kelan didn't plan to use the four palace maids sent by Jin Yantang at first, but each of them had their own skills, and it would be a pity not to use talents!
So after a little investigation of these four people, Shang Kelan put them beside her and waited, in the first century, she was used to the lively scene of going to eat with her roommates, and now she felt no appetite for eating alone in front of a large table of dishes.
Xiaoxia, Gardenia and the others were also used to Shang Kelan's methods, and besides, they only got together like this at dinner, and no one would know.
After a short time, Xiaoxia walked in with the other three palace maids and the female official Yuange.
It's just that Yuan Ge is a strict person, and she always can't let go of it when she eats, so Shang Kelan deliberately teased her with wine, and the other four palace maids also had the courage to coax.
For a while, Shang Kelan's master and servant table was very lively, and no one mentioned Shang Kelan's punishment of Imperial Doctor Li and Cui'er during the day.
Different from the lively atmosphere of Xianya Palace, Concubine Ning's Lanyue Palace was filled with a serious and condensed atmosphere.
The palace maids stood aside, and even the sound of breathing was so soft that people could hardly feel their presence!
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of a teacup exploding from Concubine Ning's bedroom.
Immediately after, I heard Concubine Ning scolding in a loud voice: "Slut! Rubbish! It's all bad waste! In terms of appearance and strategy, this palace is not lost to the slut of Concubine Chen, but why has this palace been defeated by that slut many times? Cui'er's cheap maid, the palace had already told her to keep an eye on Concubine Chen's movements, but she didn't even know Concubine Chen's actions, she was really stupid and dull like a pig! ”
A maid goddess dressed in a pale green palace dress was nervous, and hurriedly opened the bead curtain and walked in, but what caught her eye was the fragments of tea cups all over the ground.
Concubine Ning's hair was messy, her whole person was emotionally unstable, and she looked crazy, which made people look frightened.
In the past, Concubine Ning had a demure and gentle beauty whenever and wherever she was, and even if something big happened, she never lost her honor like today.
The green-clothed palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to help her and said, "Niangniang...... Niangniang, calm down, if your appearance spreads, it will only make the relatives hate the enemy faster! ”
Concubine Ning gradually came back to her senses, and after taking a slow breath, she put the tea cup in her hand back on the table of the Eight Immortals.
Seeing this, the green-clothed palace maid carefully helped her sit down on the beauty couch, and persuaded: "Niangniang, you haven't eaten much today, so the slave will go and bring you the meal." ”
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Concubine Ning opened her mouth and stopped her, and the green-clothed palace maid was shocked, and turned her head to look at her in confusion and said, "Niangniang? ”
But I heard Concubine Ning ask, "What's your name?" ”
The green-clothed palace maid breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Back to the mother's words, slave maid...... The name is Luxiang. ”
