Chapter 368: Gypsum Powder
Seeing this, Jia Zhaoyi looked playful, with a smile in her eyes.
Zhao Kexi's face was slightly red, and after she took her hand in a daze, a trace of anger appeared in her eyes, and then, she glanced at the calligraphy and painting, and saw that the calligraphy and painting nodded to herself, and Zhao Kexi relieved herself.
……
When Shang Kelan just walked into the flower hall, she saw a maid hurriedly wiping her clothes, and when she was about to pass by this maid, Shang Kelan stopped and asked in a gentle tone: "Sisi, what's wrong with you?" ”
When the maid heard someone call her name, she subconsciously looked up and saw that it was Shang Kelan, and she was immediately surprised, and hurriedly said, "Miss? The slave was just thinking about going to the front yard to take a look at you, why are you here? ”
As she spoke, as if she remembered something, her face turned red, and she hurriedly bowed her head and saluted.
Shang Kelan helped her up, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, you have been serving me with Gardenia since you were a child, and when I saw you here alone just now, I said hello to you, what's wrong with you?" ”
If it weren't for the fact that she could only take Gardenia alone in the palace, even Sisi would have entered the palace with her.
Seeing Shang Kelan asking, Sisi sighed, pointed to the white powder on her clothes and said: "Alas, just now the slave maid was running errands in the front yard, and accidentally bumped into a palace maid, she didn't know what was in her arms, and the white powder was stained on the slave maid, and the slave maid wanted to wipe it with sleep, but as soon as she touched the water, the slave maid's hand hurt." ”
Hearing this, Shang Kelan frowned slightly, lowered her eyes to look at the white powder on her clothes, and then reached out to dip it a little.
After a while, Shang Kelan took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, carefully wiped the white powder off her clothes, and said, "This thing is called gypsum powder, it can't be washed with water, do you know who that palace maid is?" How can you carry gypsum powder with you? ”
Yuliu on the side frowned, and said with a serious expression: "This gypsum powder sticks to people, if it touches the water, the skin will be scalded off." ”
Sisi was taken aback by her: "Huh? It's so serious! ”
Then, she thought for a moment and said, "The slave doesn't know who the palace maid is, only that she is wearing a yellow palace jacket, and she should still be in the lobby now, right?" ”
After listening to Sisi's words, Shang Kelan and Yuliu glanced at each other: the palace maids of each palace will wear different colors according to the main palace where each palace is located.
For example, the slaves and maids in the East Palace all wear yellow palace clothes, and the Middle Palace all wear pink palace clothes.
Soon, Shang Kelan smiled at Sisi and said, "Although the gypsum powder on your body has been wiped off, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no residue, you better go and change your clothes." ”
"Yes, sissy." Sisi obediently retreated.
After she left, on the corridor of the flower hall, Yuliu followed Shang Kelan's side, and said with a solemn suspicion: "I don't know who His Majesty brought to the banquet today, how can the palace maid bring gypsum powder on her body?" After all, it's dangerous for this thing to get wet. ”
Shang Kelan thought about it in her heart, and said calmly: "You also said just now, gypsum powder can burn off a layer of skin when it is wet, maybe who is coming to the palace?" Maybe you want to make Hongu ugly, maybe you want to disfigure, these are all things that have a probability. ”
Yuliu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Shang Kelan to be so alert now!
She came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "It's still thoughtful, let's go to the front yard first." ”
It is imperative to find the palace maid first and see who she is.
The flower hall is a long corridor that maintains the backyard and the front yard, and all the way through, everyone who saw Shang Kelan saluted her.
As soon as the two arrived in the front yard, a small servant announced: "Concubine Chen's mother has arrived!" ”596
Suddenly, the originally lively banquet suddenly quieted down, and the guests all set their eyes on Shang Kelan.
The front yard to the living room laid a red blanket, which was used by the newlyweds to walk to the lobby, only to see Shang Kelan step by step lotus, graceful demeanor, calmly passing in front of everyone, leaving a burst of indifferent fragrance, and came to Jin Yantang, only to see her say:
"The concubine sees Your Majesty, the concubine is late, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive your sins!"
Shang Kelan curtsied to Jin Yantang, Jin Yantang's eyebrows were slightly relieved, he got up and walked around the table, helped Shang Kelan and said, "Get up, why did you come at this time?" I've been waiting for you. ”
Jin Yantang was not angry, but kept waiting for her.
Shang Kelan's heart moved slightly, and then she looked at him with a smile and said, "The concubine also misses Your Majesty in her heart, so she ended the topic with her eldest brother earlier and came to serve Your Majesty." ”
As she spoke, Yuliu helped her sit down next to Jin Yantang, and Jia Zhaoyi consciously got up and gave way to Shang Kelan.
And Shang Kelan's afterglow glanced at the calligraphy and paintings beside Zhao Kexi early in the morning, but she quickly withdrew her gaze and did not let people notice.
Yellow clothes, maids of the East Palace, in the entire front yard, only calligraphy and painting echoed this condition, Shang Kelan's eyes flashed, and she sat beside Jin Yantang quietly.
Zhao Kexi saw that Shang Kelan had taken away His Majesty's attention as soon as she came, and suddenly looked at her with a cold look in her eyes, and then turned her head and nodded at the calligraphy and painting: Do it!
After looking at her quietly, he slowly put his hand into his arms.
But Shang Kelan seemed to remember something, and said to Jin Yantang with a smile: "Your Majesty, speaking of which, the concubine just met a maid in the back, and she was stained with some gypsum powder, and the palace asked her, where did the gypsum powder stick?" ”
"She said, it was brought by the palace maid beside Chen Zhaoyi, and the concubine was puzzled, why did the calligraphy and paintings around Chen Zhaoyi carry the gypsum powder in her arms?"
She said to Jin Yantang in a light and indifferent tone, as if inadvertently, she raised her eyes and glanced at the calligraphy and painting, but the cold light in her eyes flashed.
The hand that was taking the gypsum powder from her bosom suddenly trembled, and she hurriedly bowed her head, knelt down and saluted, not daring to say a word.
Zhao Kexi's face also changed, and he instantly turned his head to look at Shang Kelan, with a look of horror flashing in his eyes.
How could Concubine Chen know about gypsum powder? Could it be that the of calligraphy and painting betrayed her?
Zhao Kexi was a little incredulous in his heart, and immediately chose to abandon the car to protect the handsome: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the concubine is carrying on this calligraphy and painting, let her explain it to you in person, the concubine definitely doesn't dare to have any bias!" ”
Shang Kelan looked at her quietly, then smiled slightly, and said, "In this way, this palace has to thank Chen Zhaoyi for his righteousness." ”
Jin Yantang lowered his eyes, looked at the calligraphy and painting with a dark expression, and said lightly: "Tell me, why do you have gypsum powder on you?" ”
The calligraphy and painting were racing in his mind, and he hurriedly responded: "Slave maid...... The slave maid's friend in the same room broke his arm a few days ago, and this time while he was out of the palace with Chen Zhaoyi, the slave and maid went to buy some gypsum powder, thinking that after returning to the palace, he would put a plaster on the slave and the maid's friend......"
Shang Kelan chuckled: "I see, you also have a heart." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Kexi's eyes flickered, and he said, "Why don't you hurry up and take out the gypsum powder and show it to Concubine Chen?" lest others say that you have poison hidden in your body later, and then this palace will be affected by you! ”
"Yes, yes, mother, please see...... Yes! ”
As he spoke, he respectfully took out a thing wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms and presented it to Shang Kelan, but as if he had accidentally broken his foot, after screaming, he actually sprinkled the gypsum powder wrapped in the handkerchief on Shang Kelan's face!
