When everyone heard this, they thanked each other and got up and returned to their seats, but from time to time they cast or looked at Concubine Jia with curious glances.

Seeing that Concubine Jia was dressed elegantly and calmly, her royal demeanor seemed to be natural.

Respect and envy could not help but rise in the hearts of the people.

At this moment, outside the door, the waiter preached again: "Concubine Chen's mother has arrived!" ”

Concubine Chen, the only imperial concubine in the harem, is only one level lower than the queen, but she is the concubine of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and His Majesty's favorite woman.

Everyone didn't dare to be disrespectful to her, and before they had time to take a breath, they saluted her one after another: "See Concubine Chen!" ”

Shang Kelan didn't squint, and these people knelt on the ground respectfully, lowering their heads, not daring to raise their eyes to look at her.

On the main road covered with a red velvet blanket, she wore a purple floor-length dress, and the dark purple clothing made her skin even whiter.

The long, heavy skirt dragged on the ground, and her hand with her gilded carved nails rested on the gardenia's hand, and she walked in a regular manner, and sat down in her own place.

Then, she raised her hand to everyone and said with a smile: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet is meant to be reunion. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, these people thanked them again before they got up and sat down respectfully.

Not long after, two rows of maidservants with food plates came out and put the moon cakes in their hands in front of everyone's table.

The Queen Mother sat in the position above Shang Kelan, only to see her glancing at Shang Kelan coldly, and said: "Concubine Chen, Your Majesty has been cultivating for almost ten days, why don't you order someone to invite Your Majesty out on this day of reunion today?" ”

As soon as the Queen Mother's voice fell, Concubine Jia, who was sitting in Shang Kelan's lower position, said regretfully: "I heard that Your Majesty has been sick for the past few days, and she hasn't even gone to the morning court, which is really worrying, I don't know how Your Majesty's condition is?" ”

Hearing Concubine Jia and the Queen Mother say this, below, an official couldn't help frowning, and said in confusion: "The Queen Mother and Concubine Jia are in the harem, don't you know the situation of Your Majesty in the Heart Cultivation Palace?" ”

When the rest of the people heard this, they couldn't help but echo one after another: "Yes, Your Majesty has not been to the court for several days, and there are many government affairs that have not been dealt with, if you continue to be so sick, I am afraid that it will delay state affairs!" You should still ask a doctor to show your majesty as soon as possible. ”

Shang Kelan's expression remained unchanged, and she said with a smile: "Your Majesty has been worried a lot, Your Majesty has gradually improved under the treatment of Su Yuan and Imperial Doctor Li, and his physical condition has recovered a lot, presumably he will arrive after taking the medicine." ”

When Jin Yantang left, he promised her that he would come back in ten days.

Today happens to be the tenth day, the Mid-Autumn Festival, all she has to do is trust him and wait for him.

Just when Shang Kelan just finished saying this, on the side, Zhao Kexi said disdainfully: "Who knows if Concubine Chen has any selfish intentions and deliberately does not let His Majesty come to the court?" ”

As soon as these words came out, no one dared to speak in the Jinluan Palace, which was still lively just now.

Although everyone has this doubt in their hearts, but no one is willing to pierce this layer of window paper and expose the matter!

Only Concubine Jia and the Queen Mother's expressions remained unchanged, only to see the Queen Mother take a sip of tea lightly, and said: "Concubine Chen has always been favored by Your Majesty, since Your Majesty announced that she was sick, Concubine Chen has mastered the Imperial Forest Army in a short period of time, not only that, but she also said that the entire harem is in her hands, and even the mourning family wants to go to see Your Majesty." ”

"You say, is Concubine Chen hiding something from the mourning family, or is she trying to kill the king?" Daxia Chinese Network

The name of killing the monarch is buckled, it is not a joke.

At the women's table, Mrs. Shang was anxious on the spot, how could her daughter do such a rebellious thing?

So, Mrs. Shang hurriedly got up and wanted to go to the hall to kneel down and beg the Queen Mother for mercy.

It's just that as soon as she moved, Chen Yetan beside her pressed her back.

Mrs. Shang raised her eyes and looked at her puzzledly, Chen Yetan glanced at her and signaled her not to act rashly.

After all, if something really happens, it will be easier to solve it when Shang Kelin comes forward.

Mrs. Shang immediately understood what Chen Yetan meant, so she sat patiently in her place.

The Queen Mother and Concubine Jia attacked themselves at the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shang Kelan had expected it, but what she didn't expect was that the Queen Mother hated herself so much that she even detained the charge of "killing the king" on her head.

If this crime can't be removed, it is clear that she will be asked to pull the rhythm of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to accompany the funeral!

For a while, Shang Kelan's eyes narrowed slightly, she looked at the Queen Mother, suddenly hooked her lips and smiled, and said lightly: "The Queen Mother is really joking, Imperial Doctor Li said that His Majesty's condition is contagious, for the sake of your health, the concubine asked the Imperial Forest Army to escort you back to Cining Palace, but I didn't expect to provoke the Queen Mother to misunderstand the concubine like this, but it is the concubine's sin." ”

She changed the topic in a few words, and did not mention the matter of killing the king.

If you follow the Queen Mother's words, this matter will really not be easy to solve.

After finishing speaking, Shang Kelan no longer paid attention to the Queen Mother and Zhao Kehan, and as for Zhao Kexi, she never paid attention to it from beginning to end.

I only heard Shang Kelan say to Fu Pu: "Play music, let the dancers of the sect come up, I heard that their dance music is also a must in the world, you adults should enjoy it, this is specially prepared for you by this palace." ”

Ordinary singing and dancing were unbearable, so when Shang Kelan went to the teaching workshop, she discussed with Female Officer Yang and made some improvements to the traditional court dance.

Sure enough, at first, everyone didn't care about the song and dance she prepared, but soon, their eyes were gradually attracted by the song and dance.

During this period, Shang Kelan sat on a high seat, quietly observing the form in the Jinluan Palace, and asked Gardenia to present the chrysanthemum cake she had prepared in the imperial dining room.

Chrysanthemum cake is a chrysanthemum shape made of flour, brush a layer of rapeseed oil on top, put it in the cage drawer to steam, season in the flour before steaming, add the juice and noodles boiled by chrysanthemum, the taste of steaming out is very pleasant, this chrysanthemum cake is astringent in advance, and has an appetizing effect.

It is one of the pastries developed by Xiaoxia.

A dark glint flashed in Zhao Kehan's eyes, she couldn't let the palace banquet go on so smoothly, if Jin Yantang didn't come out again, she would have no way to cultivate her own people.

No matter how Jin Yantang is in the palace or not, she must think of a way to let Concubine Chen include Zhao Kexi in the harem!

Thinking about it, after the song is finished, the appetizer is almost served, Zhao Kehan seems to be trying to mobilize the atmosphere, and smiled at Shang Kelan: "Concubine Chen, I have also listened to this song and watched the dance, but the concubine always feels a little boring, didn't you just say that the Mid-Autumn Festival is for a family reunion?" ”

"Now that Your Majesty is not here, the Queen Mother can't meet Your Majesty, and the concubines have a bit of a bad feeling in their hearts, why don't you let someone invite Your Majesty over, how about it?"
