In the huge imperial study, as soon as Jin Yantang's voice fell, Fu Pu showed a worried look.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to Xianya Palace again tonight, I'm afraid that other ladies will complain......"

His Majesty has been staying in Xianya Palace for several days, rewarding Concubine Chen with some strange gadgets from time to time, and her relationship with Concubine Chen is also deeper, but the rest of the palace concubines have even greater complaints about Concubine Chen and His Majesty.

It's just that Jin Yantang ignored him, and only lightly picked up the pen and wrote: "Do as I tell me." ”

Fupu's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly bowed and retreated.

At this time, inside the elegant palace.

In the dormitory, ice cubes are displayed all around, with a sense of coolness.

Shang Kelan was lying on the beauty couch in a pale pink off-the-shoulder dress, holding a beauty fan in her hand, her eyes wide open, not knowing what she was thinking when she looked at the ceiling.

She muttered: "Before you know it, it's been almost two months since I entered the palace, and tomorrow will be the first day of the seventh month!" ”

At this time, Gardenia opened the bead curtain and walked in, and Yuan Ge walked with her, both of them holding a stack of ledgers in their hands.

However, these ledgers are not those bad debts in the East Palace, but the real ledgers they just brought back from Concubine Ning's bedroom!

The various expenditures of the East Palace are recorded in detail above.

Shang Kelan got up, looked at them and said suspiciously, "Where have you been?" ”

Gardenia replied: "Niangniang, the slave maid and Yuan Ge went to the East Palace to get the account books, have you forgotten, what the Queen Mother said before asked you to manage the East Palace?" ”

Shang Kelan suddenly realized, stepped forward and flipped through these account books, then lay back on the beauty couch, and said gracefully: "You can deal with these things with Yuan Ge." ”

Yuan Ge took out a seal from his sleeve and said to Shang Kelan: "Niangniang, this is the seal of the East Palace, you take it, in addition, the bad debts in these account books, the slaves and maids have been sorted out before, and when I went to the East Palace, I met the female official Yuan in charge of the East Palace, and the chief eunuch of the East Palace, but the two were demoted with the fall of Concubine Ning." ”

These two people Shang Kelan has some images, not long ago, when the housekeepers and eunuchs in the East Palace came to hand over affairs with her, these two people did not come.

Unexpectedly, it was only a few days later, and the two of them didn't even show their faces in front of her, so they ended up like this.

She nodded and smiled at Yuan Ge: "Okay, Bengong knows, put it in the makeup box." ”

Gardenia saw that Shang Kelan had been stuffy in the house all summer, unable to do without ice cubes, and did not go out for a walk, so she couldn't help but feel a little helpless and said: "Niangniang, don't stuff yourself in the house all day long, other Niangniang who doesn't practice singing, dancing and practicing female celebrity all day long, in order to maintain her figure and craftsmanship, just you, do nothing, eat, drink and have fun, but it is not bad." ”

When Shang Kelan heard this, she stuck out her tongue at her, and lay back on the beauty couch, ready to take a nap.

Gardenia and Yuan Ge sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, checking against the tall stack of account books.

Since the mother doesn't act, then they have to do these chores instead of the mother!

It's just that Shang Kelan just lay down for a while, Wen Chun opened the curtain and walked in, and hurriedly said: "Jia Zhaoyi from the East Palace, Tang Guigui from the Middle Palace, and Su Mei from the South Palace have all come to see you with gifts!" ”

When Yuan Ge and Gardenia heard this, they looked at each other in unison.

Shang Kelan frowned, took down the fan dissatisfied, and said, "Wenchun, how good would it be if you came in a quarter of an hour late?" At that time, Hongu was asleep! ”

Shang Kelan didn't like to deal with these harem concubines.

Just two months after entering the palace, Concubine Ning begged for hardship and suffered defeat in her hands, and Concubine Hua was also very unaccustomed to her.

Just the lady from the middle palace, she has to deal with seven or eight every day.

It seems that Concubine Ning was pregnant and favored at that time, and she had to deal with so many palace concubines every day, right? It's just that she may not only feel tired like Shang Kelan, but more proud.

After all, there are many beauties in the harem, who doesn't want to be the most favored one?

Yuan Ge thought for a while and reminded aloud: "Niangniang, when dealing with these concubines, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not let them catch any tricks. ”

Gardenia wasn't very worried about Shang Kelan, but just called Late Winter in and asked Late Winter to groom Shang Kelan.

There is no need for Shang Kelan to dictate a lot of things, and the palace maids around him can handle these trivial matters in an orderly manner.

After a while, Late Winter gave Shang Kelan a dignified bun, put on a golden step for her, changed into a light blue embroidered begonia cloud brocade palace dress, and after Shang Kelan put on the shoes of light blue satin embroidered butterfly, she walked out with Gardenia.

Inside the main hall.

More than a dozen palace concubines sat on the left and right, and Zhiqiu ordered someone to serve them refreshments, and then stayed aside and waited.

These palace concubines sat together in harmony, turning their heads to each other from time to time, as if they had said something, and their mouths were laughing again.

"Concubine Chen's mother has arrived!"

After Gardenia announced, the palace concubines suddenly fell silent.

They all looked in the direction of the entrance, but saw a pale blue shadow coming.

The concubines suddenly got up, and respectfully curts, "The concubines see Concubine Chen!" ”

After sitting down on the main seat, Shang Kelan raised her hand to everyone and said with a smile: "Everyone is the same harem sister as the main palace, so you don't need to be polite, please get up quickly." ”

"Concubine Xie Chen!"

As soon as she sat down, Jia Zhaoyi, who was dressed in a pale pink dress, smiled and said to Shang Kelan: "Sister Chen, the tea in this palace is delicious, it smells fragrant but not astringent, they all say that tea is like its person, and the concubine can see from this tea, Sister Concubine Chen must be a gentle and generous person!" ”

The praise was obvious, and a smile flashed in Shang Kelan's eyes.

She pressed the corner of her mouth with a champa and said with a smile: "Jia Zhaoyi is really sweet, I'm afraid I ate honey when I came, right?" ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Zhiqiu, and Zhiqiu turned around and ordered someone to bring a stack of chilled melons and fruits in front of Jia Zhaoyi.

Jia Zhaoyi was flattered, and after eating a piece of watermelon, she smiled and said to Shang Kelan: "Sister Concubine Chen's Tianxiang country, no wonder Your Majesty favors you alone, it really makes my sister envious, a few days ago, my sister got a good-looking Zhu Hai, and Concubine Chen's mother is dressed up today, so I want to borrow flowers to offer Buddha." ”

As he spoke, the personal palace maid beside Jia Zhaoyi respectfully presented a gift box.

Gardenia stepped forward and curtsied to Jia Zhaoyi, then took the box and brought it to Shang Kelan.

When I opened it, I saw that a red agate inlaid with silver-edged twisted silk hairpin was lying in the bright yellow silk cloth, which looked very bright.

Beautiful, yet chic at the same time!

Shang Kelan's eyes really lit up, and she reached out and took the agate hairpin and looked at it, looking like she couldn't put it down.

Then she said happily to Jia Zhaoyi: "Sister Jia is so generous, it's a little embarrassing to call this palace." ”

Combing, Shang Kelan glanced at Yuan Ge again, and Yuan Ge turned around and entered the side hall, took a gift box that had been prepared a long time ago and came to Jia Zhaoyi.

"Jia Zhaoyi, this is my mother's return gift."
