Chapter 60: Strategies from the Heart
The sky is clear and the palace is elegant.
Xiaoxia set up lunch, but she didn't see Shang Kelan and Gardenia come back for a while, and couldn't help but eagerly come to the gate of the palace to look.
Late Winter smiled and said to her: "Come back quickly, the sun is so big outside, if you get tanned later, no one will want you!" ”
Xiaoxia turned her head and pretended to be proud and complacent: "I don't care, my mother wants me!" ”
At this time, Yuan Ge, the female official in charge, walked over, and she glanced at Xiaoxia lightly: "What are you doing standing here?" Get back. ”
Suddenly, Xiaoxia returned to the main hall like a deflated ball, and An An stood separately.
Yuan Ge was about to turn around to do something, but he happened to see Concubine Ning and Shang Kelan walking side by side towards Xianya Palace, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Slave and maid see Niangniang, Concubine Ning Niangniang." ”
The proximity is distant and close, which can be seen from the title of Yuan Ge.
At this time, Zhiqiu, who heard the movement, walked out of the main hall, and when she saw the pale Concubine Ning, a look of doubt flashed in her eyes, and then she also bowed her knees to the two.
After bringing Concubine Ning into the main hall, Shang Kelan looked at Yuan Ge and introduced to Concubine Ning: "This is the female official in charge of my palace, her name is Yuan Ge, if my sister needs anything in the future, just say it, in addition, the Qin Yan Hall is still empty, just to the west, does Sister Ning want to have dinner with me first or go to the Qin Yan Hall first to have a look?" ”
Qinyan Palace is a medium-high palace of Xianya Palace, which is inhabited by the concubines of Zheng Erpin, and there are only about a dozen concubines living in the huge middle palace, headed by the concubines of Xianya Palace.
Yes, there are usually no people coming to this Xianya Palace, and it is clean.
After hearing this, Concubine Ning smiled at Shang Kelan and said, "Since my sister is going to have lunch, then my sister won't bother you, go to Qinyan Hall to rest first, and then come to see you when the palace is better." ”
She said this as if she were the master of the Xianya Palace.
Gardenia listened and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Shang Kelan smiled slightly: "That sister walks slowly." ”
In this way, Concubine Ning lived in the Qin Yan Palace.
After Concubine Ning left, Shang Kelan smiled and glanced at the gardenia next to her, who despised Concubine Ning, and said, "Okay, let's go into the house and eat, after tossing for a long time, aren't you hungry?" ”
With that, Shang Kelan returned to the Eight Immortals table in the side hall and sat down.
Xiaoxia diligently gave her the vegetables, pointed to a purple-red radish that exuded the smell of wine, and said: "Niangniang, come and try the pickles pickled by the slave maid a few days ago, the wine-stuffed white radish, sweet and sour, very appetizing!" ”
Shang Kelan picked up a piece and put it to her lips and tasted it, her eyes lit up slightly, and she said in surprise: "Well, it's really good, this dish is very good, and it's really appetizing to eat in summer!" ”
Xiao Xia was complimented, and couldn't help but blush slightly and smile slightly.
At this time, Zhiqiu walked in, her expression was a little solemn, and Yuan Ge also followed behind her.
Seeing their appearance, Shang Kelan ate the meal on the table unhurriedly, and asked aloud, "Do you have something to tell me?" ”
Zhiqiu hesitated for a moment and said: "Niangniang, the slave maid smelled a heavy smell of blood from Concubine Ning's body, and looking at her face and the appearance between her walking, the slave maid felt that Concubine Ning seemed to have had a miscarriage......"
Concubine Ning's miscarriage was also known to the concubines an hour ago, and Zhiqiu usually stayed in Xianya Palace and Tai Hospital, so it was normal not to hear Concubine Ning's rumors.
Speaking of this, Gardenia said indignantly: "Isn't it? Because of this, Concubine Ning ...... Concubine Ning took the initiative to ask to live in our Xianya Palace, and the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother were also present at that time, how could our mother refuse? ”
When Zhiqiu, Late Winter, and Wenchun heard this, their eyes showed surprise, but they didn't expect Concubine Ning to really have a miscarriage!
At this time, Shang Kelan waved her hand and said, "Don't talk about this matter for the time being, Wen Chun, let me ask you, has the palace maid you caught two days ago been put back?" ”
Wen Chun stood up and said respectfully: "Back to Niangniang, the palace maid's name is Bai Zhi, she is the maid next to Rou Jieyu, the slave maid did not embarrass her according to Niangniang's instructions, but just asked her and let her go back." ”
Hearing this, Shang Kelan nodded, her eyes flashed slightly, and said: "That Bai Zhi can sneak into the Xianya Palace, which means that there are traitors in our palace who have been put in by others, or some palace maids and maids think that this palace is very easy to fool, so they do such things as deceiving and embezzling other people's money." ”
At this time, Yuan Ge said respectfully: "Niangniang, please rest assured, the slave maid has already checked out the person who let the palace maid in, it is Mama Li who guards the door." ”
Shang Kelan shook her head and said, "This palace doesn't care about these people, when Concubine Ning's matter passes, this palace will take down these villains who were secretly framed in one fell swoop." ”
She spoke softly, and there was no anger on her face, but the words she said made people shudder.
Although she was smiling, everyone could not see the slightest smile in her eyes.
After lunch, unitary time.
In Concubine Chen's bedroom, Shang Kelan changed into a light white gauze skirt, untied the bun on her head, and lay on the beauty couch and read the script.
Gardenia came in with a bowl of sour plum soup, and felt sullen because of Concubine Ning's incident.
Slightly sliding the book to cover the lower half of her face, Shang Kelan only showed her eyes, looked at her with a smile and said, "What's the matter, Gardenia?" You don't seem to be very happy. ”
Gardenia brought the sour plum soup to her eyes, and said: "Niangniang, the slave maid really can't understand you, you see that when you didn't enter the palace, what a good young lady, now that you have entered the palace, although you sometimes laugh, the slave maid thinks it's better not to laugh." ”
Seeing Gardenia say this, Shang Kelan put away the smile on her face, sat down and took a sip of sour plum soup, and said, "In front of you from now on, this palace will be more serious." ”
Shang Kelan joked, but people only thought she was funny and cunning.
Gardenia couldn't help but pouted and smiled, and then said, "Forget it, you better stop laughing." ”
Saying that, she looked at Shang Kelan suspiciously: "Then again, Niangniang, that gentle palace maid Bai Zhi, why did you go to bury a witch doll under the ginkgo tree in our yard?" ”
When Shang Kelan heard this, she made a silent gesture to her: "Shh, don't make a noise about this for the time being, and don't let anyone know!" ”
Two days ago, when it was raining heavily, Shang Kelan shrank in the Xianya Palace and did not go out, Wen Chun was going out to inquire about the folk news for Shang Kelan, but unexpectedly saw that in the empty courtyard, a palace maid with eyes bought the grandmother who was guarding the door and slipped in.
Subsequently, Wen Chun immediately reported the matter to Shang Kelan, and in order not to startle the snake, Shang Kelan asked Wen Chun to arrest the palace maid and interrogate him after burying the things in the palace maid.
The palace maid lied that it was just that Yuda went to the wrong palace and didn't explain what she was doing here, so Shang Kelan asked Wen Chun to pretend that she was not suspicious and let the palace maid go.
Afterwards, Shang Kelan took Wen Chun to the ginkgo tree in the courtyard and dug up the things buried by the palace maid, but saw that the jade pendant she had lost not long ago was put together with a strange-shaped witch doll.
And on the witch doll, Concubine Ning's birthday was written impressively!
