After the banquet, Ji Xin would come to his home, and after a while, Ji Hao walked in.

"Have you found out who the woman who serves the king tonight?" Ji Xin saw Ji Hao come in and hurriedly asked.

"Back to my father, I have found out that the one who just served the king is Song Meiren, the daughter of Prince Song."

"Song Beauty?" Ji Xin was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "But the woman who the king exchanged for two hundred miles in Huaibei." ”

"It's her."

"No wonder the king came to Jiangdong to patrol and take her, it turned out to be a woman worth two hundred miles." Saying that, Ji Xin asked again: "Have you ever found out what Song Meiren likes, and my father plans to invite Song Meiren to say a good word or two in front of King Chu." ”

"The child has never asked what Song Meiren likes." Ji Hao shook his head.

Ji Xin frowned when he heard this, and hesitated: "Can't you find out?" ”

"No, it's that the child didn't inquire."

"Why is that?" Ji Xin asked puzzled.

"Father, in my opinion, that Song beauty is the daughter of the crown prince, and it is the king's means to control the Song Kingdom. Now the crown prince has fallen out of favor with the king of Song and was demoted to Huaibei by the king of Song. The king's means of controlling the Song State through the crown prince have failed, and the Song Meiren has not been in the Chu palace for a long time, and has not really consolidated his position.

Therefore, the child thought that instead of befriending the Song Meiren with an uncertain future, it was better to give the little sister to the king of Chu to show the loyalty of my Ji clan to the king. What's more, in the eyes of the child, the little sister's appearance is better than that of Song Meiren.

The king's harem favorite concubines have changed a lot, and everyone in the world says that the king is lustful, and he likes the new and hates the old. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Hao arched his hand and said: "Father, instead of giving your hope to others, why not rely on yourself?" ”

"This..." Ji Xin hesitated for a long time, remembering Song Meiren's appearance, he couldn't help but nodded.

Even Song Meiren can get the favor of the king, not to mention her own daughter who is even better.

Thinking about it, Ji Xin responded: "Okay, after the king has sacrificed to the ancestor Ji Zi, my father will feast the king at home, and then let her serve the king on the side." ”

"Yes, father."

Then, Ji Xin hesitated for a moment, and said heavily: "Also, call your third brother here and tell your father something." Then, you call your second brother to return to Yanling immediately, and you personally lead people to clean up the road to Huangshan and the ancestral mausoleum, and let your second brother move all the family members and slaves in the mansion out, and temporarily move the surrounding people to other places to resettle, and clean the mansion once a day, so that the king can not think that my Ji family is rude. ”

"No."

Not long after, Ji Feng walked in and saluted Ji Xin: "Father, are you looking for me?" ”

Ji Xin nodded: "Yes, now that the king is in Wucheng, his father has to serve him, so don't mess around these days, follow your father and obey his orders." ”

Ji Feng was stunned, and his face was not good-looking: "No." ”

In the next two days, Xiong Huai met with Wu Yue Xungui in Wucheng and appeased them all to calm people's hearts.

For another three days, Xiong Huai bathed and fasted in the palace to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony.

Five days later, after the preparations for the sacrifice were completed, Xiong Huai took the ministers of Chu and the local nobles of Wuyue to Huangshan.

Huangshan is in the north of Wucheng, and the first emperor of Wu is buried here.

As the founding king of Wu State, Taibo is also the uncle of King Wen of Zhou, and has the virtue of giving way, so Xiong Huai sacrifices with heavy gifts and sacrifices to Taigao (a cow).

After sacrificing Taibo, the Wu nobles who accompanied him were obviously a lot more relaxed, especially those small and medium-sized nobles who were not qualified to go to Yingdu before and accept the title of the prince of Chu, and even the tension in their eyes dissipated mostly.

Now the king of Chu has sacrificed to Taibo, which means that the state of Chu has officially recognized their noble status, and in this way, they have become the nobles of the state of Chu from the nobles of the unclear state and are protected by the state of Chu.

From this moment on, they no longer had to worry about being taken by the nobles of the original Chu State.

From now on, everyone is a family, at least on the surface.

Then, after Xiong Huai sacrificed to Taibo, he continued to go north and came to Yanling.

At this time, the Wuhou Mansion in Yanling had been emptied, and even the surrounding people had been moved. So, Xiong Huai directly took the guards to live in Wuhou's Mansion.

As for Wuhou Jixin, he is looking for another place to live temporarily.

The next day, Xiong Huai came to Jizha's mausoleum and sacrificed him to Shao Lao (one sheep and one pig).

When the people of the Ji clan saw the sacrifice, they were all overjoyed.

Although Ji Za has the virtue of abdicating the throne, he has not been a monarch, and now although Ji has been named Marquis of Wu, Ji Za is not Marquis of Wu and cannot enjoy the sacrifice of the princes.

According to the rules, the Ji family can only use a sheep or a pig to sacrifice Ji Za.

But now, after the king of Chu sacrificed Ji Za with less labor, Ji could use less labor to sacrifice Ji Za. Although there was an extra pig in the sacrifice, it was of great significance.

The major affairs of the country are sacrificed in Rong, and the key to the affairs of the family is the sacrifice, which is related to the status of the family.

Even, from now on, the Ji family can claim that he is the main vein of the Wu State and the heir of the Wu State, not the branch of the Wu State Office and the Yanling Jizi of the Wu State.

At this time, all the people of the Ji clan looked at the King of Chu who was holding a sacrifice, and their eyes were full of gratitude.

The King of Chu sacrificed Ji Zi with a young prison, which undoubtedly shows that the King of Chu attaches great importance to the Ji family.

Soon after, the sacrifice was completed, and on the way back to Wuhou Mansion, Xiong Huai found that Ji Xin's attitude became more and more respectful, and seeing this, Xiong Huai couldn't help but nod.

As long as the Ji family firmly stands on the side of the Chu State, in the policy of using Wu to control the Yue, the time for the Chu State to control the Yue Land will definitely save ten years of effort.

And the price paid by the state of Chu is just the status of a prince, and it is also the name of the sage Jizi, which is really nothing.

What's more, Marquis Wu was originally the identity of a prince, and giving Ji Zi the status of a prince would have no impact on the Chu State.

Back at Wuhou's mansion, Xiong Huai was resting in the mansion when a guard came to report: "King, Wuhou and his daughter ask to see." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Please let them in." ”

"Yui."

When Ji Xin and them came in, Xiong Huai asked with a smile, "What is the so-called matter of Wu Hou here?" ”

Ji Xin responded with some flattery: "The king came to Yanling from afar, and the ministers have nothing to repay, and they are willing to dedicate their specialties to the king." In addition, now that the sacrifice has been completed, it will be inconvenient to continue to let the soldiers in the army serve the king, so the minister specially asked the little girl to come to serve the king, and asked the king not to dislike the little girl for being vulgar and unbearable. ”

"Sure enough." Xiong Huai said secretly in his heart, and then looked at Ji Xin's daughter.

Seeing that he was wearing a pale green long dress, his long hair was black and soft, reaching to his waist. Looking at its face, the willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, especially the pair of pitch-black eyes, shone like jewels, full of aura, and the cheeks were even more shy pink, with a little red lips, which was particularly attractive.

Xiong Huai had to admit that based on his appearance alone, this season of babies surpassed most of the people in his harem.

At this time, she saw the king of Chu coming over, and immediately saluted: "The daughter of the concubine Wu Hou, baby, meet the king." ”

Xiong Huai listened to her soft voice, couldn't help but nodded, and then looked at her intently and responded: "Good, then stay and serve." ”
