On the second day, Xi Shi got up early in the morning, painted a delicate makeup, picked out a simple and dusty dress, and quietly waited for Fan Li's arrival.

But waiting, until the afternoon, waited for the summons of King Wu.

Lin Xuan personally came to greet Xi Shi and said with a smile: "Girl, someone from Yue Guo has come to visit you." The king asked the servants to invite you over and let you meet with the envoys on behalf of the Yue concubines. ”

After that, Xi Shi sat in the sedan chair that came to pick her up. However, after a while, the sedan chair stopped at the entrance of the plum garden.

"Girl, let the minions lead you in the rest of the way." Lin Xuan said respectfully.

Xi Shi nodded casually, and let Lin Xuan lead the way, step by step into the plum garden.

Yesterday's heavy snow covered the road of the plum garden with a layer of white snowcoats, and the sound of stepping on the snow came with a burst of "squeak" sound.

However, after a while, I saw that there were many people not far away, and it was very lively.

"Yue Ji Xi Shi arrived—" Lin Xuan cleared his throat and shouted into the crowd.

Everyone turned their eyes one by one and gathered on Xi Shi. Xi Shi walked in and saw that there were many people in the crowd, including King Wu, Wei Ji, and a few other concubines who didn't know.

Wu Dynasty Xi Shi beckoned, Xi Shi walked over with a smile, and let King Wu hold his hand and hold her in his arms.

The two tacitly seem to have loved each other for many years, which is the envy of others.

After the Xishi salute, King Wu gently helped her up and whispered, "Ai Fei, one of your old friends has come to Wu, and the widow will take you to see him." ”

Xi Shi nodded meekly and asked King Wu to walk forward with him.

Passing through the layers of plum trees, a white figure in front of them was facing away from them, kneeling on the ground and not knowing what they were fiddling with.

Xi Shi instantly recognized that it was Fan Li's figure, but it was just ...... Why did he kneel on the ground?

King Wu coughed lightly, Fan Li immediately turned around, and saluted King Wu without squinting: "Fan Li pays a visit to King Wu." ”

As if he hadn't heard, King Wu leaned sideways and said to Xi Shi: "Concubine Ai, this white plum was specially planted for you by the widow." But General Fan accidentally touched a few flowers, so the widow asked General Fan to pick up the remaining flowers one by one, and Concubine Ai won't be angry, right? ”

The white plum is already white, and it is very difficult to distinguish when it falls on the snowy ground, presumably this is King Wu deliberately embarrassing Fan Li.

Xi Shi's heart tightened, and he secretly squeezed King Wu's hand hard. But his face was still very soft, and he said softly: "King Xie is very kind, it's just that the snow is cold, let's ask General Fan to get up and speak." ”

King Wu's heart was cold, but he still nodded with a smile, and said to Fan Li: "Since the concubine has spoken, then you can get up." ”

Fan Li thanked King Wu and slowly stood up, the snow on his knees falling. Then, Fan Li saluted Xi again, and said to her with a magnetic and gentle smile in her voice as before: "Miss Xie Xishi is not to blame. ”

Xi Shi smiled back at Fan Li politely, then snuggled on King Wu's shoulder, caressed King Wu's chest with one hand, looked at him with silky eyes, and said: "King, when the concubine was sick, you cared for the concubine, and now you have planted such a rare white plum for the concubine, and the concubine is really happy." ”

Xi Shi's afterglow looked at Fan Li, and found that Fan Li's smile just now was stiff on his face, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of success in his heart. Xu Yes, he rubbed on King Wu twice, and said: "The king~ You come to the Cheng'en Palace tonight, and the concubine will reward you~"

King Wu knew that Xi Shi was acting again, but he also deliberately wanted to be angry with Fan Li, so he simply relied on Xi Shi and replied: "Okay, Concubine Ai, I haven't slept with Concubine Ai for a long time, I really want you to feel uncomfortable." Now that the concubine is healed, then wait for the widow in the palace tonight. ”

Xi Shi smiled shyly and said, "I hate it~"

The two of them said one sentence to me, without any regard for the people present, as if they wanted to use sweet words to kill each other, and started their respective performances.

King Wu said: "Concubine Ai is so beautiful, whatever you want, the widow will give it to you." ”

Xi Shi replied: "That concubine wants the stars in the sky." ”

King Wu replied: "The widow will pick it up for you tonight." ”

Xi Shi said again: "The concubine body still has to see the king every day~"

King Wu replied: "The widow will report to you at any time the whereabouts of the widow." ”

Xi Shi smiled and said: "That concubine body still wants the king to love Xi Shi alone." ”

King Wu smiled back: "The widow only loves you." ”

Xi Shi's smile froze for a moment, but he immediately pressed it down, and began to get tired of King Wu again: "The king is really brave, and the concubine admires you so much~"

Before King Wu could reply, someone finally couldn't stand it.

Wei Jijiao snorted, stuck to King Wu, and said: "The concubine body also wants the king to love the concubine body alone~"

King Wu chuckled twice, hugged Wei Ji, and whispered something in Wei Ji's ear, and Wei Ji's face instantly turned red.

Taking advantage of everyone's attention on Wei Ji, Xi Shi pretended to glance at Fan Li casually, but he didn't expect to meet his line of sight.

Fan Li's eyes were dark, there was a little anger brewing in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were also rarely drooping, losing his elegant and gentle appearance in the past.

Xi Shi looked at him, deliberately leaned on King Wu's shoulder, and pulled out a smile at him, as if provocative, declaring how much he was favored by King Wu.

Fan Li opened his mouth slightly and spit out two words with his lips: good.

Not bad?

Xi Shi thought to himself, Fan Li is praising himself for the good progress of his mission? Said that he was lucky to be favored by King Wu?

So, what's the difference between showing off and a puppy wagging its tail and begging for pity......

Xi Shi was angry in his heart, but he could only continue to act on his face.

Because of Wei Ji's coquettishness, the other concubines couldn't stand still, and they surrounded King Wu and coquettish, saying that King Wu's favorite was herself.

Xi Shi was squeezed out by several unknown concubines and almost fell, but fortunately a hand held her.

It's Fan Li.

Fan Li's hand held Xi Shi's jade arm tightly, and his eyes looked straight at her, not shying away at all.

Xi Shi was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, wanting to pull out his hand, but he didn't expect Fan Li to squeeze it tighter.

"General Fan, the widow's beloved concubine, does it make you so 'can't put it down'?"

A majestic and powerful voice penetrated from the crowd, with the innate majesty of a king, domineering and resolute.

Fan Li had no stage fright, looked directly at King Wu and said, "Then please also ask King Wu to protect your concubine, and don't let her be hurt in front of you again, so as not to let your promises to her be disappointed." ”

King Wu pushed all the women around him away, walked to Xi Shi's side, pulled her over and hugged her in his arms, and said to Fan Li in a cold voice: "You don't have to worry about how the widow treats them. However, since General Fan is so worried about the affairs of the widow and Yue Ji, then tonight, it is up to you to serve the night in the Cheng'en Palace. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xi Shi and Fan Li couldn't help but be stunned, and the concubines on the side were even more shocked.

"What? The king asked General Fan to serve the night ......"

"This General Fan's insulting words should be punished, but this kind of punishment is really ......"

"Whoever makes him rude to the king's concubine, he should be made to understand that the king's woman can't even think about it, let alone touch it."

Several concubines gathered around you and I figured out King Wu's intentions, but King Wu was not at all surprised, and even pointed to the concubine who had just spoken last, and said: "Chu Ji has won the heart of the widow, tonight, I will come to the Cheng'en Hall with Wei Ji, and you and Xi Shi will serve the widow together." ”

Wei Ji and Chu Ji immediately returned happily: "The concubine obeys the order." ”

King Wu said lazily: "Okay, Concubine Ai has also seen your old friend, and the widow will send you back to the palace." ”

Xi Shi nodded obediently, and turned directly to go with King Wu, but King Wu paused again, turned back to Fan Li, who was angry, and said with a smile: "After letting you go back to China, your temper has really become bigger, and you are no longer as submissive as before in Wu Kingdom, I wonder if King Yue is like you after returning to China?" Do you need to invite him to come to Wu to sit again? ”

King Wu talked about the experience of Fan Li and King Yue who had been defeated into Wu as slaves, and threatened Fan Li with words, although Fan Li's face turned blue after listening, but after all, he still apologized to King Wu respectfully: "The guilty minister is at fault, and I hope the king will not be angry with my king." ”

King Wu snorted coldly and said, "Since you know your mistake, then you can kneel here and be punished." The widow will punish you to kneel here, and count the many plum blossoms that have grown in this white plum. Lin Xuan knows how many plum blossoms there are, and the widow will let him stare at you, if you count wrong, count them again. ”

Fan Li took a deep breath and said, "Yes." ”

King Wu waved his hand, exchanged for a maid, and said, "Go find a chair, find a cloak, find a stove, boil some hot water, put some snacks here for Lin Xuan to use, don't let Lin Xuan be tired." ”

The maid was ordered to retreat, and Lin Xuan bowed to King Wu and said, "King Xie loves it, and the slave will take a good look at it." ”

Only then did King Wu smile contentedly and said, "Remember to bring him to serve the night after counting." ”

With that, King Wu turned around and left with Xi Shi.

When he was away from the crowd, King Wu looked at the silent Xi Shi in his arms and said, "What? Distressed? Didn't Fang Cai deliberately make that gesture to show him? Isn't the widow doing well? ”

Xi Shi raised his eyes and looked at King Wu and said, "Isn't the king also angry for Brother Yin?" Xi Shi's acting is not bad, right? ”

King Wu smiled and said, "It's not bad." The widow has to pick the stars for you. ”

"What?" Xi Shi didn't react for a while.

King Wu explained: "Didn't you just say that you want the stars in the sky? The widow is the king of a country, and he promised you in front of so many people, he must be a promise. So, you have to think about how you can pluck the stars from the sky tonight. ”

Xi Shi snorted and said, "Then what else do I say, but the king also has to fulfill it?" ”

King Wu raised his eyebrows and replied: "Fulfill, why don't you fulfill." First, what does the widow's whereabouts tell you? Second, the widow has never loved anyone in the first place, and he loves you for Thirteen. ”

Xi Shi pursed his lips and said, "So it's really my turn to sleep tonight?" Or with Wei Ji and Chu Ji? King, are you playing so openly? ”

King Wu suddenly paused, and said to Xi Shi in an ambiguous tone: "Yes, I still pamper you in front of Fan Li." ”
