At this time, in the Jinluan Palace.

"Your Majesty has arrived! The eldest prince of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion has arrived! ”

After the attendant at the door made two announcements in succession, Jin Yantang and Shang Kelin approached the Jinluan Hall one after the other.

Concubine Jia and Concubine Hua looked at each other, and gradually, Concubine Jia showed a friendly smile on her face and nodded to Shang Kelin.

Shang Kelin was searching for Shang Kelan's figure in this direction, but unexpectedly saw a beautiful palace concubine nodding to herself, and Shang Kelin subconsciously smiled at her.

But when he sat on the seat of the left prime minister's mansion in the men's seat, he was stunned, and then stared at the palace concubine tightly, and his heart was full of turmoil: Isn't that woman the favorite princess of the previous emperor?

If he remembers correctly, the woman should be called Zhao Kehan!

And he had seen Zhao Kehan for a few years before, Zhao Kehan seemed to have a good relationship with Jin Yantang, but after Jin Yantang ascended the throne, the princess of the former dynasty had no news, why did she appear at the palace banquet on the Midyear Festival as a palace concubine today?

Look at the seat she sits, between the imperial concubine and the concubine's seat, could it be that she is from a first-class concubine?

After holding the wine glass tightly, Shang Kelin craned his neck and drank all the wine inside.

Then she retracted her gaze and frowned slightly, why didn't Lan'er mention this to him?

This Zhao Kehan is clearly a princess of the previous dynasty, but now she is just a grass person, with no identity background, why does Your Majesty still make her a concubine?

Faintly, Shang Kelin had a bad premonition in his heart.

On the other side, Concubine Hua had almost eaten, drank a few glasses of wine, and she was about to vomit while chatting, but Concubine Chen still didn't come.

So, Concubine Hua turned her eyes, looked at Shang Kelin, and asked Shang Kelin: "Yo? Isn't this Shang Kelin, the famous gentleman of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion? Why, there is such leisure to participate in the palace banquet today? ”

Concubine Hua's voice was sharp, and her tone was yin and yang, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Suddenly, the noisy and enthusiastic voice just now gradually quieted down, and in the main hall, countless pairs of eyes on the male and female seats fell on the two of them.

Shang Kelin is famous for not learning and being unreasonable in the capital.

His Majesty read on the face of Concubine Chen and Zuo Xiang, and gave him a nominal official position of the seventh grade, which was obviously established in his twenties, but he failed in the imperial examination every time.

He doesn't like literature or martial arts, he only lingers in the dusty land, and offends a lot of Miss Jingzhong, if it weren't for the support of Zuo Xiang and Concubine Chen behind his back, Shang Kelin would have been taught a lesson I don't know how many times.

As soon as Concubine Hua's voice fell, Shang Kelin slowly got up and came to the center of the hall with a glass of wine.

He looked at Concubine Hua with a smile, pinched the wine glass with his bony fingers, and said, "This lady looks as beautiful as a flower, why is she so unpleasant when she says it?" Where did this son provoke you to make you misunderstand this son? ”

As he spoke, he paused for two seconds, suddenly drank all the wine, looked at Concubine Hua with a smile and said, "Besides, Your Majesty is the brother-in-law of this son, and this son is coming to the banquet, do you want you to approve a mere palace concubine?" ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused an uproar in the main hall!

The men pointed at him one after another, and said one after another: "This Shang Gongzi really dares to say it!" It's so arrogant! ”

"How could a person like Zuo Xiang give birth to such a scumbag?"

"It's good that this is not my son, otherwise I would have to be angry with him!"

The list goes on and on. 168 Books

But Shang Kelin just glanced at Concubine Hua provocatively, then turned around and wanted to return to his seat.

Jin Yantang sat on a high seat, supporting his face with one hand, looking at this scene with an indifferent expression, his eyes were deep, and the slightest emotion was imperceptible.

He didn't seem to intend to meddle in it.

Concubine Hua was angered by Shang Kelin's words, and when her face turned dark, she pointed at him angrily and said, "You...... Hmph, don't be too arrogant! ”

The queen saw the movement of the two in her eyes, so she came out to play a round and said with a smile: "Okay, Concubine Hua, according to the palace, Shang Gongzi is Concubine Chen's brother, why not come to the banquet?" You ridicule people so much, but you violate the morality of women, today's Midyear Festival, you should give the palace a face, this matter is settled, how about it? ”

The queen's smile was gentle, her demeanor was dignified, and her voice was good, which made everyone in the palace banquet feel good.

Concubine Hua couldn't stand her appearance, glanced at her, and snorted: "Hey, who is pretending to be pretending to show you?" You don't know what this Shang Gongzi has done, and you still help him speak, besides, in the past, you didn't have such a spirit! What's the matter, today, relying on the face of His Majesty and so many people, I want to play the queen's breeze in front of the palace? ”

"Presumptuous!"

The queen's face sank, looked directly at her, and said majestically: "Concubine Hua, you don't want to speak wildly, insult the reputation of the palace, the palace asks yourself, in the past few years, you have burned incense and worshiped the Buddha in the ancient temple, and you have few desires, and you don't ask about the harem." ”

"So the phoenix seal is in your hands, the palace power is shared by Concubine Jia and Concubine Chen, and the palace also complains too much to His Majesty and the Queen Mother, but today is the Midyear Festival, but you have repeatedly spoken wildly, disrespectful to the palace, do you want to usurp the phoenix throne?!"

"Wow!"

Suddenly, the scene that had just quieted down boiled like hot water.

Everyone looked at Concubine Hua, their eyes were shocked, and they whispered:

"I have long heard that Concubine Hua is arrogant and domineering in the harem, and there is no one in her eyes, but I didn't expect that at today's Midyear Festival, she would be so disrespectful to the queen!"

"The queen mother is so miserable, she is obviously the master of the harem, but Feng Xi and the palace power were taken away by Concubine Chen and Concubine Jia, it's really pitiful!"

"Look at the queen mother, she is also dignified and generous, but the mud bodhisattva also has a temper, this concubine Hua is too bullying!"

At the men's banquet, a middle-aged man listened to these words, and only felt that his scalp was numb.

His expression tightened, and he hurriedly knelt in the main hall, and saluted His Majesty: "Your Majesty, it is all the little ministers who have no way to teach their daughters, so that the little girl collided with the queen mother, this is all the fault of the micro ministers, please Your Majesty is angry!" ”

Governor Li said, secretly gave Concubine Hua a look, Concubine Hua pursed her lips, then restrained the look on her face, bowed her head and curtsied to the queen and said: "Queen Mother, the concubine knows that she is wrong, please let the Queen Mother calm her anger." ”

Seeing this, the queen's face returned to normal, raised her hand to her with a smile, and said, "That's it, Concubine Hua knows her mistakes, don't do it again in the future, let everyone be frightened, I'm really embarrassed, please take it." ”

The queen spoke, and after saying the last words to the guests, she said to the dancers and singers performing in the hall: "All right, let's play music!" ”

On the side, Concubine Jia took in this scene, she ignored Concubine Hua's eyes asking her for help, but looked at the Queen Mother on the side with a dim gaze.

What exactly does the Queen Mother mean? Why do you still look like an old god? She didn't seem surprised at all by the change in the queen now?

Gradually, Concubine Jia clenched her fingers, and her thoughts were restless: I hope there will be no changes in tonight's plan!

At this time, Jin Yantang looked at Governor Li lightly and said: "Governor Li is serious, since the queen doesn't care, you can go back to the table, don't take what you just happened to heart." ”

Hearing this, Governor Li breathed a sigh of relief: "Wechen thanked Your Majesty!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he retreated into the room......
