Chapter 162: The New Election Palace
In order to eliminate the misunderstanding between the two, Jin Yantang has been very patient with Shang Kelan in the past few days, and in order to untie Shang Kelan's heart knot and let her recover as soon as possible, Jin Yantang will also take her to the imperial garden for a walk after she is busy with government affairs.
And, in order not to let those concubines disturb Shang Kelan's purity, Jin Yantang also issued a death order, without the permission of Concubine Chen, no one was allowed to step into Xianya Palace for half a step, and even the queen did not come to Xianya Palace again.
The elegance of the palace is pure, and Shang Kelan is also happy.
On this day, in the afternoon, when the sun went west, Jin Yantang brought Shang Kelan to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, and Fu Qingxi, Gardenia and others followed the two from afar.
The garden was full of summer flowers, and Shang Kelan was also fascinated, and she didn't pay attention to her feet for a while, and accidentally stepped on the air.
Before she could sway, Jin Yantang grabbed her in time and said with a smile: "Be careful." ”
His voice was magnetic and gentle, very pleasant, Shang Kelan pursed her lips and smiled, and her peach blossom eyes seemed to contain stars.
She nodded to Jin Yantang and let Jin Yantang support her, but her eyes lingered in the garden and rarely talked to Jin Yantang.
As soon as I arrived at the Lake Center Pavilion, a beautiful woman in red walked over.
The two of them paused, Shang Kelan looked at her calmly, and the person who came was Zhao Kehan.
"The concubines see Your Majesty, and the concubines see Concubine Chen."
In front of Jin Yantang, Zhao Kehan was extremely docile, giving Shang Kelan enough face, and lost his previous loneliness and arrogance.
Jin Yantang's eyes narrowed slightly, then he raised his hand to her, and said lightly: "Concubine Jia is also very interested today, come to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers?" ”
Zhao Kehan nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, but the concubine is here to choose the palace maid to fill the Ximeng Palace, there are few people in the palace, and some tasks are too busy." ”
As she spoke, she turned her eyes and looked at Shang Kelan and said, "It just so happens that there are not many palace maids in Concubine Chen's palace, so you can screen them with your concubines." ”
Zhao Kehan knew Jin Yantang's temper, if she gave him a chance to refuse, she wouldn't be able to stuff people into Shang Kelan's bedroom.
Yes, without waiting for Jin Yantang to speak, Zhao Kehan waved his hand, and let Bai Shao lead a row of maids over, standing in front of Shang Kelan, looking like he was at his disposal.
Shang Kelan calmly glanced at these palace maids, Jin Yantang knew that she didn't like others to interfere in her affairs, and was about to open her mouth to refuse for her, but she heard Shang Kelan say lightly: "Since it is Concubine Jia's kindness, this palace will not shirk, Concubine Jia's mother will choose first." ”
Seeing that Shang Kelan did not refuse, Jin Yantang helped her and said, "Go to the Huxin Pavilion and sit for a while." ”
Concubine Jia watched the back of the two of them leaving from behind, and a hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes.
After the two of them sat down in the Huxin Pavilion, Concubine Jia followed, sat beside Jin Yantang, and said gently: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen, the concubines have already selected a few, and these are all for Concubine Chen's choice." ”
Hearing this, Shang Kelan glanced at her with a smile, and then looked at the group of palace maids.
They looked fairly clean and young, the ones on the left were very smart, the middle two looked honest, and the ones on the right looked timid and cowardly.
After looking at it, Shang Kelan said to the palace maids on the left who looked clever: "It's just you, look at the spirit, there are just some lively palace maids in the Xianya Palace." ”
With this point, she pointed to four people.
The four palace maids hurriedly lined up and saluted her respectfully.
Concubine Jia glanced at Bai Shao, and Bai Shao took a step forward and introduced Shang Kelan: "Concubine Chen, this palace maid is called Liu'er, her name is Wan'er, this is Xiaomei and Xiaotao." ”
Shang Kelan nodded with a smile and said, "The names are very good, no need to change them, Gardenia, you can take them back to the palace to settle down first." ”
"Yes, sissy."
As soon as the words fell, Gardenia took the four palace maids away.
The rest of the people who were not selected turned pale. Cow Bar Literature Network
Just when Gardenia had just taken two steps with someone, the timid and cowardly palace maid on the right hurriedly came to Shang Kelan and knelt down, and kept kowtowing: "Concubine Chen's mother chooses a slave maid, the slave maid will cook for the female red club, and she also has a lot of strength, even if she is a rough slave maid, please ask Concubine Chen's mother to choose a slave maid!" ”
She raised her eyes and looked nervously and expectantly at Shang Kelan, as if Shang Kelan rejected her, she would face something terrible.
Shang Kelan looked at her in embarrassment and said, "But the palace has already been chosen, and if there are too many people in the Xianya Palace, it will be too lively......
Jin Yantang's eyes were cold, Fu Qingxi hurriedly stepped forward to pull her away, this palace maid's face suddenly changed, I don't know where the strength came from, she actually broke free from Fu Qingxi's clamps, and she was about to hit the pillar with all her strength!
On the side, a smile flashed in Zhao Kehan's eyes.
Shang Kelan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she suddenly said, "What's your name?" ”
The palace maid paused, and said weakly: "Slave Ziqin." ”
Ziqin?
It's a lot like the name of another mother.
Look at her upright appearance, her eyes are timid, but just now she has the determination to seek death.
If she is really allowed to die in the Huxin Pavilion like this, I'm afraid that rumors of her ruthlessness will spread in the palace tomorrow, right?
Shang Kelan hooked her lips and smiled, and said slowly: "Okay, this palace will allow you to be a second-class palace maid." ”
The palace maids are divided into one to four classes, and the last one is the rough palace maid who can't even be ranked.
Ziqin was stunned for a moment, then relaxed and smiled, knelt on the ground and kowtowed again, and said, "Slave and maid Xie Chen, Concubine Niangniang!" ”
Without waiting for Shang Kelan's command, Gardenia said to Ziqin with a bad face: "Okay, come with me." ”
So, Ziqin followed the team and walked towards Xianya Palace with Gardenia.
Zhao Kehan succeeded in his goal, and he didn't stay here to disgust them, so he got up and said respectfully: "The concubine is going to visit the queen mother and her old man's house, so she won't disturb the Yaxing of Your Majesty and Concubine Chen, and the concubine will retire." ”
As soon as the words fell, Bai Shao followed behind Zhao Kehan with a group of palace maids, and the group left the imperial garden.
After they left, Jin Yantang shook his head at Shang Kelan: "That Ziqin just now, you shouldn't keep her." ”
Jin Yantang hates being threatened the most, if there is someone like Ziqin in the court, threatening him is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and killing himself.
Shang Kelan took a sip of tea calmly, and said in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, that is a life after all." ”
"You!"
Jin Yantang nodded her eyebrows and sighed.
Outside the city, cliffs.
In the cave, Chen Yetan kept looking out, but he never saw Shang Kelin's figure.
Seeing that it was about to get dark, he might have to spend the night here alone, and suddenly, the uneasiness in Chen Yetan's heart became even stronger.
"Hey, Shang Kelin, where are you!"
Standing at the door of the cave, he roared towards the cliff outside, and there was an echo, but no one answered him.
At that moment, a thick hemp rope was thrown from above and landed right in front of him.
Chen Yetan was stunned for a moment, tentatively pulled the rope, and as soon as he grabbed it, he saw that the rope was pulled violently, and his whole person was directly dragged up!
The surrounding scenery kept retreating, and the ground at the height was close in front of her, Chen Yetan's eyes lit up, it seemed that someone had come to save her!
