Chapter Ninety-One: Beware of the Cold
King Wu received a notice that Qi, Lu, Jin, Zheng and other states were to meet in Xu Di and invited Wu to participate. The purpose of this meeting was to redefine their respective spheres of influence.
Such a meeting is held once a year. For the average vassal state, maintaining the status quo is their ultimate choice. But for those vassal states that grew stronger, they sought to expand their spheres of influence. If the meeting could not resolve the contradictions, war broke out.
This meeting is a regular meeting, not very important. But participation is mandatory. The level of the participants is very demanding, because the level is too low, and there are major problems that cannot be decided.
Wu Guo's best candidates to attend the meeting were Wu Zixu and Bo Yao. But Wu Zixu had a conflict with King Wu, so he chose to stay away from King Wu and soak in the army all day long to engage in military training. And he has a straight temperament and an outward edge, which is not good for negotiations.
Bo Yao can lead a delegation to attend the meeting, but if he leaves, King Wu will have to go to the court in person. This annoys King Wu, the country is fine, the world is peaceful, he just wants to have fun, just leave the daily trivial matters to Bo Yao to deal with.
He couldn't resist the beauty of Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, and devoted all his thoughts to these two girls.
Knowing King Wu's mood, he came up with an idea and said, "King, it is most appropriate to let Fan Li attend this meeting." ”
King Wu said: "Young Uncle can make this meeting a good one. He does things, and the widow is still relieved. It's just that his rank is too low. ”
Bo Yao said: "This is easy to do, Fan Li already has the foundation of Ruyibo, and then give him the title of a plenipotentiary envoy." ”
King Wu said, "Yes, good idea. ”
So, as the plenipotentiary envoy of King Wu, Ruyi Bo Fan Li led a delegation to attend an international conference. Press not table.
Fan Li is gone. Bo Ya presided over the affairs of state. King Wu had fun with peace of mind. Every night, I either stayed in Chaoyang Palace or Chunyang Palace. Mrs. Gou of Zhengyang Palace faced the huge palace alone, secretly desolate.
In the past few months, Gou Yu has been accompanied by Fan Li and has lived happily.
This noble-born woman, who is a queen, was originally like a water-like woman and kept her way of being a woman. But since Wu Zixu ignited the fire of jealousy, that heart is ready to move. She couldn't resist Fan Li's beauty and fell in love with Fan Li.
Fan Li is the most energetic age, his appearance is enough to make Gou Yu intoxicated, coupled with a little fox charm, this beautiful queen fell into the quagmire of emotions and couldn't extricate herself.
However, Fan Li left, Fan Li went to a meeting, and this walk may be ten days and half a month. In the past ten days and half a month, King Wu will not come to Zhengyang Palace, and he doesn't want him when he comes, so how can he spend so long?
Mrs. Gou is young, healthy, well-fed, well-rested, energetic, and has nothing to do, and has accumulated a lot of energy in her body to release. This energy turned into boredom, tormenting her.
I woke up in the middle of the night, and habitually touched my side, but it was empty, and Fan Li was not there. She felt uncomfortable, she was so lonely after being a king, she didn't feel desolate in her heart, and tears flowed down.
Mrs. Gou couldn't lie down anymore. She got up and walked around the house. The room was quiet, except for the sound of her soft footsteps.
I'm tired of walking, but I still don't want to sleep. After a pause, he opened the door again, walked out, and walked around the yard.
The moonlight is like water, and all kinds of flowers bloom quietly in the moonlight, exuding a rich fragrance. She moved slowly among the flowers, like a ghost, and let out a ghostly sigh from time to time.
"Brother Fan Li, where are you? Will you miss me? Maybe you don't know how much Gou Yu misses you at this moment. ”
Gou Yu gently pushed, and the courtyard door opened silently. According to the rules, the palace maid is on duty in the courtyard, and the chamberlain is on duty outside the courtyard, and in order to be called at any time, the courtyard door is not locked or bolted. A faint haze rose from the empty harem, with trees and flowers. The pavilions and pavilions are shrouded in a gauzy-like mist, looming and ethereal.
"Xiao Xia has seen the queen!" Xiao Xia walked quietly, bowed and saluted, and said hello.
The sound is clean and magnetic. There was a burst of warmth in Gou Yu's heart. The young man in front of him is refreshing and beautiful, and every move, every word, seems to go to people's hearts. Although he is not a man, he is still likable.
Xiao Xia said, "Why doesn't the queen go to rest?" ”
Gou Yu sighed silently: "Wake up, I can't sleep, get up and take a look." ”
Xiao Xia said, "Queen, the night dew is cold." Do you want me to come into the house and get you some clothes? ”
Gou Yu said: "No need, you can talk to me." ”
Xiao Xia said: "Queen, you better go into the house and sleep, your body is important." ”
It's always nice to be cared for. Although Xiao Xia is just an internal servant, when Gou Hao felt most lonely, he sent a word of concern and a greeting, which made Gou Hao feel a little warm.
Turning his face to look at Xiao Xia, I saw him standing beside him with his head down, half a head taller than Gou Yu, and his slender figure was slightly thin, but it gave people a fresh feeling.
Gou Yu said: "Xiao Xia, how old are you?" ”
Xiao Xia said: "Back to the queen, Xiao Xia is eighteen years old. ”
Gou Yu said: "How long have you been in the palace?" ”
Xiao Xia said: "The slave has been in the palace for ten years. ”
"Oh!" Gou Yu sighed softly: "It's been so long." Who else is in the family? "For these palace people, the palace will give them a holiday every year to go home and have a look.
Xiao Xia said: "Back to the queen, there is no one in my house. ”
"Oh?" Gou Yu was taken aback, "What's going on?" ”
"My father and brother both died in battle, my mother committed suicide, and my sister-in-law is gone," Xiao Xia said. ”
"Poor boy!" Women are born with compassion. Gou Yu felt that his eyes were a little hot. said: "Xiao Xia, do you feel okay in the palace?" ”
Xiao Xia said: "I am used to it, and I am very happy to be able to serve my wife." ”
Gou Yu smiled, this kid is very good at sycophancy. "Really?" Why do you feel happy working in Zhengyang Palace? ”
Xiao Xia whispered, "Xiao Xia doesn't dare to say it." ”
Gou Yu felt strange, this is not a taboo, why don't you dare to say it? "Say, this palace doesn't blame you."
Xiao Xia hesitated and said, "That's because the queen is beautiful!" ”
Gou Yu smiled again: "Xiao Xia, it seems that you are very honest, it turns out that you are very thoughtful." But this sycophant shot is very happy. ”
Xiao Xia said sincerely: "Xiao Xia really thinks so. ”
Gou Yu glanced at the good-looking Xiao Xia, and had some doubts in his heart, after these people are castrated, they can't be counted as a man, so they don't have any thoughts, do this kind of people care about whether women are beautiful or not? They are also like normal men, will they be happy to see beautiful women?
Gou Yu wanted to ask, but opened his mouth and stopped, how can he ask this kind of thing casually? It's hurtful. Although they are castrated, they still have a bit of self-esteem, so why bother to expose their scars?
I don't know what Gou Yu said, please see the next chapter.
