At night, the Imperial Garden, where the lights are colorful, lively, and the atmosphere of the arrival of the festival is very popular.

The palace maid just now seemed to be just a small episode for Concubine Jia, and it didn't cause a big wave in the crowd, after all, the queen mother has the heart to calm down this dispute, who dares to step forward and provoke it without dying?

Mrs. Shang felt more and more uncomfortable at the palace banquet, and just wanted to see her daughter.

At this moment, Fupu, who greeted everyone, came to Mrs. Shang and Shang Kelin's side.

I saw him respectfully salute the two of them and said: "Slave Xianya Palace Steward Eunuch Fupu, I have seen Mrs. Shang and Master Shang." ”

As soon as she heard that he was from Xianya Palace, Mrs. Shang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Did Concubine Chen Niangniang call you over?" ”

Just now, Shang Kelan asked Fupu to bring these people to the Imperial Garden, and many matters in the Imperial Garden were also solved by Fupu.

After listening to Mrs. Shang's words, Fu Pu smiled and said, "Mrs. Shang, Concubine Chen Niangniang specially explained to the slave before, so that the slave must take care of you at the palace banquet, the slave saw that you didn't move a mouthful of food here, but these eaters don't have an appetite?" ”

Nowhere are side dishes and pastries, melons and fruits, moon cakes and tea in the gazebo.

The moon cakes in the palace are different from those outside the palace, from the selection of materials to the production are very careful, and the methods used are also inherited by the master, so the moon cakes are very delicious.

It's just that Mrs. Shang is useless, she seems to be preoccupied, afraid that she is still angry about the matter she just argued with the Queen Mother, so Fupu came to see her, which can be regarded as enlightening her.

It's just that Mrs. Shang always sighed, looked at these pastries on the table, and couldn't help but sigh: "I hope that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many people around me, but I didn't expect it to be so deserted this year." ”

It's just that as soon as her voice fell, not far away, a voice from the inner servant sounded: "Your Majesty has arrived!" The left phase has arrived! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the imperial garden was shocked, and many boudoir women turned red, and hurriedly bowed down in the direction where the chamberlain spoke, and said, "See Your Majesty!" ”

Hearing this, the happiest are Shang Kelin and Mrs. Shang's mother and son, they all looked at each other in unison, with a look of shock in their eyes, and a touch of joy, it seems that no one expected that Zuo Xiang and His Majesty would come back at this time!

The unified voice of everyone sounded in unison, and after a while, Ying Ying fell to her knees, and after a while, Jin Yantang, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, appeared in front of everyone.

I saw him raise his hand to everyone and said, "Everyone, you are exempt from courtesy, since tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, there is no need to be polite." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Qingxi had already sent someone to bring him a dragon chair.

Even Fupu had a look of shock in his eyes.

Could it be that His Majesty has returned?

On the side, Zhao Kehan looked at Jin Yantang, happy and scared in his heart.

She was glad that Jin Yantang had finally returned, but what she was afraid of was what Jin Yantang would do if she found out what she had done to Concubine Chen? Wouldn't you want to put her head into the cold palace too?

It's just that this idea just rose, and it was denied by Zhao Kehan.

Impossible, Zhao Kehan's plan is seamless, and she has enough confidence in herself!

Immediately, Zhao Kehan and the Queen Mother greeted him, looked at Jin Yantang with a sincere smile and said, "Your Majesty, are you here?" "Standby station

Zhao Kexi stood beside Zhao Kehan shyly and timidly, raising his eyes from time to time to cast a discharge-like gaze at Jin Yantang, ordinary men are afraid that their hearts are already rippling under such a gaze!

But Jin Yantang didn't seem to notice it, he directly ignored Zhao Kehan's question, but looked at Zuo Xiang and said: "Lord Shang, go find your relatives, I will talk to the Queen Mother and Concubine Jia about something." ”

Since Jin Yantang has something to say, then he won't stay in the way, besides, Zuo Xiang didn't come here to see these two women, yes, he nodded to Jin Yantang and left here.

The Queen Mother took Jin Yantang's hand, sat down beside him, and couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty, when did you come to the Imperial Garden?" Don't say a word to the mourning family, Concubine Chen said that she had drowsiness, why did she wake up at this time? ”

Jin Yantang said indifferently: "If I don't come, how do I know what kind of concubine the queen mother and Han'er have chosen for me?" ”

At this time, the palace banquet is almost underway, and guessing the lantern riddles in the imperial garden is the last game, hearing Jin Yantang say this, Zhao Kehan no longer hides it, but smiles at everyone: "Everyone, let's ask the Queen Mother and Lady Yang and Mama Zhang to start selecting one of the four concubines!" ”

As soon as these words came out, many women who looked at this side turned red for a while, no one expected that Jin Yantang would appear at this time, and everyone was more or less regretful in their hearts.

After all, they showed their best side on the stage just now, but they were not appreciated by His Majesty.

But I don't know who the Queen Mother is optimistic about?

After all, Concubine Chen and Concubine Jia did not participate in this palace banquet draft, and it was still headed by the Queen Mother, and the two nominal judges of Female Official Yang and Mama Zhang were not very worthy of their name.

Jin Yantang looked at the Queen Mother and asked indifferently: "Oh, Queen Mother, do you already have the results of the fourth concubine in your hands?" ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she nodded with a smile and said: "At the beginning, the mourning family was optimistic about Zhang Ruxue, the daughter of the cabinet scholar, but this Zhang Ruxue seemed to be too weak, but the mourning family felt that Xi'er was much better than them. ”

"Xi'er?"

The Queen Mother's affectionate title to Zhao Kexi made Jin Yantang not come back to his senses for a while, and he couldn't help but look at the Queen Mother and asked.

Zhao Kehan raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Kexi, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Kexi suddenly understood, hurriedly stepped forward, and saluted respectfully to Jin Yantang: "Zhao Kexi, the people's daughter Zhao Kexi of Zhaofu in Zhezhou, is the sister-in-law of Concubine Jia's mother, see Your Majesty!" ”

What Zhao Kehan's background is, Jin Yantang knows best, she doesn't have a sister at all.

This Zhao Kexi is just her nominal sister, but this fabricated background is better than directly admitting that she is the identity of the princess of the previous dynasty.

Yes, Jin Yantang did not stop them, but nodded to the two of them, and said, "The queen mother and Han'er are in charge, and I will go and see Mrs. Shang." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Kehan's face changed slightly.

If His Majesty goes to visit Mrs. Shang at this time, Mrs. Shang will definitely tell His Majesty about the palace maid just now, His Majesty has always been sensitive and suspicious, and he cares so much about Concubine Chen, he will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!

At that time, no matter how seamless her plan is, no matter how much His Majesty's suspicion of her deepens, she will not stay in this harem for long!

So, Zhao Kehan was in a hurry, got up to stop him, and looked in the direction where Mrs. Shang was, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, now that Mrs. Shang and Lord Zuo Xiang's family are reuniting, this matter of choosing a concubine is not child's play, if you don't sit in charge in person, you will always be a little unreasonable!" ”

After this matter passes, Mrs. Shang will complain to His Majesty again, and His Majesty will be helpless against her!
