120 The heart is unwilling
The pheasant looked at the concubine in front of her, and was very worried about Cai Xianwu, who didn't know where she was, and asked anxiously: "What about the king, what did you do to him!" ”
"I didn't do anything to him, I just took him into custody temporarily." Xi Fei looked at the pheasant with cold eyes, and sneered: "But Cai Xianwu handed you over with his own hands, what are you still thinking about him?" ”
After hearing this, the pheasant did not have a loss on his face, but was a little comforted, and said slowly: "He is the lord of the country, and it is also appropriate to think more about his country, and I am willing to exchange my life for half of the people of Cai State." ”
Xi Fei snorted coldly, and there was a little more anger in her tone, and said: "It turns out that you still remember in your heart that he Cai Xianwu is a lord of the country, since you want to know that he is a lord of the country, then why didn't you stop him when I went to Cai Guo." I'm your sister, why can you acquiesce to him doing something like that to me, you see everything in your eyes, but you are indifferent, what kind of thoughts do you have to think like that? ”
Fei Pheasant knew that what happened back then was her fault, if it wasn't for her to please Cai Xianwu, if she didn't hate her, that incident wouldn't have happened, and if that incident hadn't happened, none of this would have happened.
Xi Fei sighed: "Although you and I are sisters, but we don't have much time together, I don't know what I did to make you hate me so much, even if you are in that incident, but what I hate is still only Cai Xianwu, I asked the King of Chu to destroy Cai Guo, but you are not qualified to hate me, didn't he Cai Xianwu also let the King of Chu destroy my Xi Kingdom." Xihou is dead, but Cai Xianwu I resolutely don't let him die, I want him to be imprisoned in Chu forever, and taste the pain of having nowhere to return after death. But all this has nothing to do with you, I think of you and my sisters, I won't let you suffer, you will stay with me in Chu forever! ”
After that, he said to the maid beside him: "You go and arrange it for Mrs. Cai, don't treat her badly." ”
The arrival of Concubine Fei in Chu did not have any impact on Concubine Xi's life, she was still her Mrs. Wenwang. During the day, he accompanied Xiong Cheng to participate in provincial government affairs, and at night he read at night with a lamp on the table, and many times when Xiong Cheng woke up late at night to see the back of Xi Fei sitting upright, and his heart was deeply moved.
Recently. After decades of flawed systems in the Chu State, the shortcomings finally appeared, and because of these things, Xiong Yun's heart continued to be full of sorrows. It is also difficult to sleep at night, and when reviewing government affairs during the day, I will be sleepy and doze off from time to time, and when there are many government affairs, Xiong Yun will rush to work overnight if he can't finish the review for a while, and he doesn't want to work too much for himself.
When Xi Fei went in, she saw that Xiong Zhen had fallen asleep on the desk, and knew that he was tired, so she didn't want to disturb, so she picked up the cloak on the side and put it on for him, took the bamboo slips piled on the side with her light hand, and carefully flipped through them, and was extremely careful every time she unfolded the bamboo slips. For fear that the movement would be too loud and wake up Xiong Yun. After studying the ink, he picked up the pen and read it by himself.
When Xi Fei finished reviewing all the recitals, Xiong Yun slowly woke up, looked at the figure of Xi Fei on the side, and then looked at the well-organized bamboo slips in front of him, and suddenly felt ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly hugged Xi Fei, and said with pity: "Yao'er is really hard, I fell asleep unconsciously." I'm still bothering Yao'er to review it, you have to work hard when your pregnancy has reached such a level, and I, the husband, are really incompetent. From tomorrow onwards, I will forge ahead. I'm reluctant to let Yao'er work like this anymore. ”
Xi Fei smiled and said: "The king, you are tired all day, and you often have trouble sleeping at night, I just did some small things, the king should worry more about big things, let the concubines share some for you." You don't have to be so tired! ”
"But you've done it all, it's a bit of a burden!"
Concubine Xi chuckled, shook her head and said: "Didn't the king say that the concubine has this half of the Chu State, then she must do half of her work for the Chu State, otherwise how can she be worthy of the title of Mrs. Wenwang!" ”
Xi Fei's eyes shone under the light of the candlelight, and Xiong Yun's heart rippled for a while, and he reached out and hurriedly grabbed Xi Fei, leaned her on his body, and strongly suppressed the angry fire in his heart, and said slowly: "Are you from the hands of the gods, why are you always so charming, whenever I see you, it makes me difficult to control myself, if it weren't for seeing you pregnant in the womb, you would definitely not have a good time tonight." ”
Xi Fei leaned on Xiong Yun's chest, listened to his surging heartbeat, blushed with shame, and said softly: "King, you really make the concubine embarrassed by talking like this!" ”
Xiong Yun raised Xi Fei's head, clearly saw the blush on her face, and laughed proudly: "Why, it turns out that when you were also shy, I thought Yao'er was always so powerful." ”
Xi Fei stretched out her hand and patted Xiong Yun, and said with a smile: "Don't make fun of me, the king!" ”
Who knew that Xiong Yun smiled even more presumptuously, and said: "Looking at your shyness, I really have a sense of accomplishment!" ”
Xiong Zhen and Xi Fei's laughter and joy in the house, the pheasant outside the door undoubtedly sounded a needle deep in her heart, Xi Fei saved her, but she did not have the slightest gratitude to her in her heart, but was even more angry. In the eyes of Concubine Pheasant, Concubine Xi brought herself to the State of Chu, not to save her, but to mock her and insult her in a different way. Let her see the love of Xi Fei and Xiong Yan every day, but what she gives is cold loneliness and loneliness.
The hatred for Xi Fei in her heart was even deeper, standing outside the door and watching all this, her hands grabbed the door frame, her knuckles were white, and she couldn't help but sigh: Why is her life so good, God, why are you so unfair. Why do I have to marry a mediocre and incompetent lord who wants me to be careful to please everywhere, and in the end I am destroyed by other countries and imprisoned forever, and I have to suffer humiliation with him. And after her concubine Zhai was able to turn her up several times, there were still people who loved her and spoiled her, first the Marquis of Xi was devoted to her, and then the King of Chu was devoted to her, and she sat in the position of Mrs. Wen and owned half of the Chu State. What she got was a piece of prosperity, what I got in the end, I was unwilling, I was absolutely unwilling.
The late autumn season has passed, and Xi Fei's belly is already very big, and she has begun to walk clumsily, wheezing. Xiong Yun was worried that she didn't want her to work harder, and all the recitals were ordered not to be sent to Xi Fei, lest she couldn't stop reading for a few minutes, and Xiong Zhen didn't let her come again, just hoping that she would raise the fetus with peace of mind, and she didn't dare to sleep with her at night, for fear of disturbing her. Xi Fei was so worried about Xiong Yun. It's really a bit of a fuss, and I can't help but smile and know that I can't move him.
However, this situation seems to have been specially arranged by God for the pheasant, and it happened to give him a gap. At least that's what the pheasant thinks.
The night was dark, but Xiong Yu still didn't sleep, and there was still a pile of music in front of him, which really gave him a headache, and he pressed this temple desperately. But the headache didn't go away in the slightest. At this moment, a soft whisper came from behind him, "King, if the headache is like yours, I'm afraid it will get worse." ”
Xiong Yun was shocked in his heart, this voice felt very unfamiliar, as if he didn't have any impression, he originally had only one Yan Ji, but now that Yan Ji is dead, the slaves and maids around him don't dare to talk like this, are there any other female dependents? I turned my head to find out. It turned out that there was still a strange female dependant in his palace, that is, the pheasant he brought back some time ago.
After one glance, Xiong Yun turned his head. The pheasant was shocked in her heart, her appearance was not lost, and she was also famous in the princes, although she was not dressed gorgeously tonight, but her posture did not change, this Xiong Zhen saw that he was so indifferent, and there was no reaction, which man saw that his eyes were not straight in the past. And he ......
The pheasant suppressed the anger in her heart, slowly walked to Xiong Zhen's side, took out the soup that night and handed it to Xiong Yan, and said softly: "King." This is the clear soup made by the slave maid, calm the mind and wake up, the king is tired until now, presumably this national event is a headache, Mrs. Wen Wang is inconvenient, it is better to let the slave and maid do it for you. ”
Xiong Zhen glanced at the soup jar on the table in front of him. There was no reaction, the headache was really bad, and there was no appetite. Seeing this, the pheasant couldn't help but smile and said: "The king is indeed a man who stands up to the sky, and the way to relieve headaches is so domineering, but the king's desperate pressure has no effect, it will only hurt more." If the king doesn't dislike it, let the slave and maid try it! ”
Xiong Zhen really had a splitting headache, she said that she might as well let her try it if she had a way, and then put down her hand.
The pheasant smiled inwardly, knelt down and moved to Xiong Yun's side, gently rubbing Xiong Yun's temples. Xiong Zhen only felt a chill at his temples, but it was very comfortable, and the pain suddenly eased a lot, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and asked, "What did you wipe on your hands?" ”
The pheasant chuckled and said: "The king is really keen, this can be felt, this ointment is my Chen people's earthwork, I have this kind of headache since I was a child, once I make a mistake, massage a few times at the acupuncture points, plus this ointment is cold and refreshing, very effective, so I take it with me." ”
"Chen Guomin's earthwork?" Xiong Yun closed his eyes slightly and muttered softly.
The pheasant hurriedly said: "Although this ointment is earthwork, the effect is really excellent, and I hope the king will not dislike it!" ”
"How can it be, this earthwork must have been derived by predecessors based on years of experience, and the effect is sometimes better, how can it be disliked." Xiong Yun seemed to remember something interesting, and chuckled: "You Chen Guo really have a lot of recipes!" The widow remembered that some time ago, when Mrs. was tying the widow's hair, she found some white hair, and the widow was immediately very angry. After a few days, the lady brought a basin of water, saying that the potion made with black beans, vinegar, honey and other things should be boiled together, and the widow's hair should be washed, and I don't know how long it will take to have an effect. ”
Listening to Xiong Yun talking about Xi Fei, the pheasant's tone was full of love, and her heart was suddenly full of jealousy, but she still restrained herself, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Wen Wang is smart and virtuous, maybe it won't work in a short time, but this method will definitely be effective." The king and his wife have a strong relationship, and God will not let the king grow old so soon. ”
Xiong Zhen chuckled and said: "Age is dead, just listen to nonsense like this that won't grow old, you can't take it seriously!" Okay, don't press it, the widow feels much better, it's late at night, you go back! ”
The pheasant stopped her hand, knelt beside Xiong Yun, and said in surprise: "King, don't you rest yet?" ”
Xiong Yun looked at the rest of the music in front of him and sighed: "Well, there are still some here, and the widow wants to rest after these are done." ”
The pheasant sighed: "The king is really hard, he works hard day and night, and he has no rest. People say that wine is the antidote to all things in the world, and the king must be tired at this time, so why don't you drink two cups with the slave and maid to relieve your tiredness, how about it? ”
After thinking about it for a while, Xiong Yun said: "It's okay, the widow does feel a little sleepy, drink some wine to refresh himself, and the province immediately fell asleep after reading half of it." ”
The pheasant brought the wine, poured out a cup and handed it to Xiong Yun, and said: "This first cup of slaves and maids respects the king, thanks to the king for sparing the lives of slaves and maids, and does not blame slaves and maids for being defeated concubines, and gives slaves and maids such preferential treatment." ”
Xiong Yun chuckled, took the wine glass in the pheasant's hand, drank it, and said slowly: "You have to thank Mrs. Wen Wang for this matter, if it weren't for her, I'm afraid you would still be suffering in Cai Guo now." The widow is not a violent and bloodthirsty person, and he doesn't want anyone to be killed or injured after destroying Cai Guo, they are all innocent, and it just so happens that Mrs. proposed to bring you to Chu State, and the widow will give her a favor, anyway, it's not a big deal, you don't want to see too much, since you are Mrs.'s sister, then the widow will not treat you badly because you are Cai Xianwu's wife and concubine. ”
The pheasant smiled charmingly and said: "The king is really kind-hearted, like that Cai Xianwu has always been cold to the slave and maid, and he is not as good as the king, and now he is relieved to be separated from him!" ”
Xiong Zhen joked: "Why, you actually said such a thing, don't you have half a friendship with him?" ”
The pheasant shook her head and said: "Friendship is naturally there, but thinking of what he has done to the slave and maid, the slave and the maid have a little hatred for him, where can it hurt people like the king?" When it came to the last sentence, the pheasant's voice was already charming, her eyes were a little fluttering, and there was a hint of a coquettish smile at the corner of her mouth.
Xiong Yun took the wine glass in his hand, took in all the actions of the pheasant, and knew her intentions very well in his heart, a wicked smile pulled out from the corner of his mouth, and he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said, "How do you know that widows are very good at hurting people?"
