I heard that Concubine Chen went to Cining Palace and made the Queen Mother angry with a serious illness, and the harem palace power was in the hands of Concubine Jia.

Unconsciously, in the afternoon, and in the morning, the matter of Cining Palace also came out, probably the news sent by Concubine Jia, and now it is rumored everywhere that Shang Kelan disobeyed the Queen Mother, which made the Queen Mother angry.

And the elegant palace, inside the sleeping palace.

The stove warmed the room, and Shang Kelan was nesting in her apricot-colored skirt on the bed, just in time to see the snow outside the window.

Damn, I didn't expect her to go out during the day and get caught a cold and contracted a wind chill!

Zhiqiu came over, brought her a bowl of ginger syrup, and said, "Niangniang, drink some, warm up, and the slave will go get you medicine." ”

Shang Kelan reluctantly smiled at her: "I'm sorry for you, Zhiqiu." ”

Then, she took the medicine bowl and drank it all, and Zhiqiu also retreated.

"Ahh

Shang Kelan couldn't help but sneeze, and happened to meet Gardenia open the curtain and walk in.

She bent down and touched the temperature on Shang Kelan's forehead, then looked at her helplessly and said, "Niangniang, you shouldn't have talked to the Queen Mother like that at that time, you see, this harem fell into the hands of Concubine Jia again, right?" ”

Regarding Shang Kelan's matter, Gardenia can be said to have broken an old mother's heart!

Shang Kelan smiled and said, "That's just right, don't worry about so many things." ”

Gardenia couldn't understand what she was thinking, but soon, as if she remembered something, she said to Shang Kelan: "By the way, Niangniang, the slave maid came here to tell you something, just now the slave maid saw a few slaves cleaning the branches outside the palace gate, the slave maid stepped forward and asked, they said that His Majesty asked him to prune." ”

Nodding his head clearly, Shang Kelan said, "Oh, then let them go, you keep an eye on it, don't let them cut it off." ”

"Yes, sissy."

Gardenia was about to retreat, but Shang Kelan looked at her and said, "By the way, how did you prepare all the gifts you prepared in the morning?" ”

Hearing this, Gardenia smiled, turned to look at her and said, "The slave maid has never seen a sister, who is so worried about her brother's marriage, Niangniang, you can rest assured, the slave maid has already sent those gifts to Zhang's mansion." ”

Shang Kelan relaxed at this time: "That's good, by the way, don't forget to send some warm soup to Your Majesty, and don't forget to make Your Majesty's favorite pastries." ”

In the past, Shang Kelan went to deliver things to Jin Yantang in the afternoon, but later Jin Yantang didn't let her come because of the long distance, so he changed it to Gardenia and the four palace maids to take turns to send them.

Gardenia smiled and teased: "Niangniang, in the entire harem, you are the only one who cares most about Your Majesty, and you are not afraid that those ministers outside will say that you are in trouble?" ”

Shang Kelan's eyes flashed slightly, and she said with an unclear meaning: "If you talk about red face and trouble, compared to Concubine Jia, this palace is still a step behind." ”

The two talked here for a while, and Gardenia went down to run errands.

At this time, Zhang's house.

In the lobby, Mr. Zhang had just come back from running errands outside, and he saw a lot of gifts in the lobby, and before he could sit down, he was stunned, and looked at Mrs. Zhang, who was drinking tea leisurely, and said, "This is ...... What's going on? ”

Mrs. Zhang was about to answer with a smile while holding tea, but she saw Zhang Baozhi walking in from outside with someone, and proudly pointed to these gifts and instructed them: "You move these gifts into Miss Ben's room, and Miss Ben will personally select some good things to come out." ”

"Yes, miss."

As soon as the words fell, the minions began to move their things.

Lord Zhang frowned, and at this time, Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you?" Shang Kelin, the eldest son of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, asked to marry our family Baozhi, and I have already negotiated with Mrs. Shang and exchanged eight characters, which is a gift from Concubine Chen from the palace. ”88

Before you get married, you give a gift?

Lord Zhang shook his head, frowned at Mrs. Zhang, and said with a somewhat ugly face: "You woman is too ignorant, that Zuo Xiangfu is now avoided by everyone in the court, you are good, and you also married your daughter to her, which is basically to push our Zhang family into the fire pit, if I don't get His Majesty's use, I'm afraid it will ......."

I don't know what I thought, Lord Zhang's face changed again, and Mrs. Zhang hurriedly persuaded: "Oh, why are you such a verbose old man?" Your daughter's wedding date is on the fifteenth of this month, and there are still a few days left, can't you be happy? ”

"It is said that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and when the time comes, after the daughter marries and takes charge of the financial resources and power of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, do you think we won't get any benefits?"

"Hmph, rude opinion!"

Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she flicked her sleeves, didn't start, and said coldly: "What about snow? Why haven't you brought her back yet! ”

"Uh...... She said herself, I want to stay at her grandfather's house for a while, what can I do? ”

Mrs. Zhang's eyes flashed and she said, trying to avoid his question.

Lord Zhang never interfered in the affairs of the inner house, and Zhang Ruxue did not tell him when he was wronged, so the relationship between the father and daughter was not close.

At this time, Zhang Baozhi walked in from outside the door, she glanced at the direction of the study, and asked Mrs. Zhang in a low voice, "Mother, what did my father say?" ”

Mrs. Zhang smiled proudly, the expressions of the mother and daughter were exactly the same, but Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is nothing that can't be done for your mother!" ”

Zhang Baozhi nodded reassuringly.

in the Royal Palace.

After dealing with government affairs with the courtiers, Jin Yantang wore an ink-colored embroidered bamboo inscription and went to the Xianya Palace, and Fupu followed behind him in a scarlet robe.

"What happened in the harem today?"

Jin Yantang asked, he had to ask about what happened in the harem every day.

Fupu thought for a while and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother called Concubine Chen to Cining Palace for questioning, and I heard that the Queen Mother misunderstood Concubine Chen's instructions to Shang Gongzi and exposed the identity of Concubine Jia, she was very angry, and gave the harem palace power to Concubine Jia. ”

Hearing this, Jin Yantang frowned, and then asked, "How is Concubine Chen?" ”

How could the Queen Mother know about this so quickly, and she was sure that Shang Kelan did it? Someone must have said something in front of her.

It's just that Fupu only answered the question asked by Jin Yantang, and only heard Fupu answer: "After Concubine Chen returned to Xianya Palace, she caught a little cold. ”

The two of them spoke, and while walking, they soon came to the imperial study.

But I saw that at the door of the imperial study, Gardenia was standing there with a food box.

Seeing Jin Yantang, Gardenia came over and bowed and saluted: "Slave and maid see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with Jin'an." ”

"Get up, what is this?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this is Concubine Chen's instructions to the slaves and maids, for Your Majesty's loose warm soup and some pastries, Concubine Chen's Niangniang is worried that Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, hungry, and not good for your stomach."

After listening to Gardenia's explanation, Jin Yantang's eyes softened, he waved his hand at Gardenia, and said, "You put it down, I will change my clothes and go to visit Concubine Chen." ”

As soon as the words fell, Jin Yantang walked into the imperial study with Fupu, Fupu winked at her, and motioned for her to go back to Xianya Palace first.

Gardenia nodded, handed the food box to him and went back to Xianya Palace.
