After the heavy rain that day, it rained heavily for three days in a row, and the sky of the palace was willing to clear.

Chenshi, Cining Palace.

The harem concubines sit in two columns, the queen mother and the queen sit on the main seat, Shang Kelan sits on the first seat on the lower left of the queen mother, followed by Concubine Hua.

Seeing that Concubine Ning hadn't come over yet, the Queen Mother couldn't help frowning: "What's going on with this Concubine Ning?" The mourning family sent people to all the palaces to inform them that everyone must come to Cining Palace for today's Chenshichen invitation, and she dared to be late for these times! ”

The concubines were silent, and the queen comforted: "The queen mother is angry, maybe something is delayed?" ”

Shang Kelan held the teacup in her hand and took a sip of tea.

She was dressed in a lilac embroidered orchid palace dress today, combed her loose hair in a bun, and had a jasper hairpin on her head, which looked very casual, but her expression was calm, but she exuded a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Hearing the queen's call of "Queen Mother", the queen mother's face became a little ugly.

At this time, Concubine Hua, who was dressed gorgeously, laughed and said: "Queen Mother, when the concubine went to visit Concubine Ning the day before yesterday, she saw that Concubine Ning's sister had a very ugly face and a very weak body. It's just that this Sister Ning is really, and she doesn't know how to send someone to say to the Queen Mother. ”

Jia Zhaoyi below also echoed: "I don't know why, the sky is not beautiful these days, and it has rained heavily one after another, and the concubine is really panicked in her heart, and I don't know why Concubine Ning is so weak all of a sudden?" ”

The Queen Mother hates to hear the people around her talk about illness, disasters, or something, and when she waved her hand impatiently, she said: "Okay, okay, it's very tight to talk about Concubine Ning one by one, and there is something serious to discuss with you here." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at the Queen Mother curiously.

The Queen Mother glanced at Mama Chen, and Mama Chen bowed her head.

Not long after, a girl in red walked out behind Mama Chen.

This girl in red has a graceful posture and extraordinary temperament, and she walks as if she has a lotus under her feet, which is pleasing to the eye.

Inadvertently, Shang Kelan glanced at her when she looked up, and just one glance made Shang Kelan feel a strong sense of unease rose in her heart.

She couldn't help frowning slightly: Why did she have such a feeling in her heart when she saw this girl? It was as if something important was about to be snatched away by the woman in red.

The concubines looked at the girl in red curiously, and Concubine Hua also showed a kind of hostility on her face when she saw her.

How could she not know this person?

In the past few days, she found a portrait of Zhao Kehan in the palace, and naturally recognized it at a glance, this girl in red is what Concubine Ning said, Zhao Kehan who lives in the palace!

"People's daughter Zhao Kehan see the Queen Mother!" Zhao Kehan said, and he was about to bow his head and kneel.

The Queen Mother hurriedly glanced at Mama Chen, and Mama Chen quickly helped Zhao Kehan up and said: "Girl, the Queen Mother has been exempted from your courtesy, and if you do this, won't you see the Queen Mother?" ”

Zhao Kehan's face turned red, and he pursed his lips and was silent.

The Queen Mother actually exempted Zhao Kehan from saluting, what a great gift!

For a while, everyone's gaze towards Zhao Kehan couldn't help but change.

The Queen Mother walked down the stairs, took Zhao Kehan's hand with a smile, and the majesty on her face disappeared completely.

I saw the queen mother say to the concubines: "This Miss Zhao is a person close to the mourning family, and she will live in the palace in the future, if you see her, don't you want to play the concubine's temper with her, do you understand?" ”

Although the Queen Mother said it to them with a smile, these concubines heard a warning from her words.

What's more, Mama Chen also made it very clear just now, even the Queen Mother exempted Zhao Kehan from seeing her, if they were against Zhao Kehan, how could they dare to let Zhao Kehan salute them?

For a while, the concubines smiled reluctantly, got up and curtsied, and said, "The concubines know." ”

Shang Kelan raised her eyes slightly while saluting, and glanced at this Zhao girl.

But when her eyes touched her face, she couldn't help but be stunned! It turned out to be really her, the princess Zhao Kehan of the previous dynasty!

Why...... Why did Zhao Kehan enter the palace, but she didn't have any news at all?

What the Queen Mother meant just now was ...... Jin Yantang wants to accept her as a concubine?

For a moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through Shang Kelan's mind.

Her eyes were complicated, and she even clenched the champa in her hand like that Hua Fei, even though she didn't like to keep long nails, she could still feel the tingling pain in her palm.

When she came back to her senses, she saw that all the concubines had already sat back in their original positions, and she was the only one who still maintained a saluting posture.

Concubine Hua saw her make a fool of herself, and a smile appeared on her face.

The Queen Mother looked at her dissatisfiedly and said, "Concubine Chen, what are you still standing for, don't you sit back?" ”

Gardenia stood behind Concubine Chen's chair, her eyes showing worry.

At this time, a fragrant wind hit, and then a pair of slender and delicate hands helped Shang Kelan up.

After Shang Kelan stood up, Zhao Kehan withdrew his hand and said with a light smile: "This lady is so beautiful, the folk girl looks familiar, where have we met?" ”

In the past, at the palace banquet of the first emperor, Shang Kelan met this princess.

At that time, this princess was also dressed in red, arrogant and domineering, and she was punished by her for bumping the color of her clothes with her, but fortunately, Jin Yantang helped her, and Zhao Kehan let her go.

Hearing this, Shang Kelan withdrew her hand and smiled at her: "Thank you, Miss Zhao, maybe this palace looks similar to someone you know, right?" And this palace also has a feeling that she has known Miss Zhao for many years. ”

These unclear words made many concubines in the hall puzzled.

Only a few concubines who knew Zhao Kehan's identity understood Shang Kelan's words.

At this time, Concubine Hua also came to Shang Kelan's side, and said to Zhao Kehan in a strange manner: "Isn't it? Sister Concubine Chen, don't you think that this Miss Zhao is somewhat similar to the princess who was the emperor's favorite? Even the scar on his face...... It's all exactly the same! ”

As she spoke, Concubine Hua glanced at Zhao Kehan with a sneer.

Zhao Kehan was like a frightened little rabbit, retracted behind the Queen Mother, covered his face and wanted to cry.

Obviously, it is the most taboo for others to talk about her appearance.

The Queen Mother was immediately angry, pointed at Concubine Hua and said: "Concubine Hua, the mourning family sees that you have been gossiping a lot lately, and there is nothing to do, why don't you reward the mourning family for copying the "Female Ring" three hundred times, what do you think?" ”

Three hundred times, then you can't scrap her hand?

Concubine Hua's face turned to the side, and she hurriedly bowed and said, "The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine knows that she is wrong!" ”

The Queen Mother didn't intend to spare her, but planned to use this Concubine Hua to make an example of her.

She pulled Zhao Kehan to the main seat and sat down, patted Zhao Kehan's back, and glanced at Concubine Hua lightly: "You said you knew your mistake, but you said, what did you do wrong?" ”

Concubine Hua bit her lip and said, "The concubine shouldn't be sarcastic about the scars on Miss Zhao's face and slander Miss Zhao's self-esteem......"

Shang Kelan stood beside Concubine Hua and couldn't help but shake her head secretly for Concubine Hua: This Concubine Hua really likes to do something to make the "limelight".
