Chapter Seventy-Three: Rivalry Meeting
King Wu suddenly arrived in Zhengyang Palace, which made the queen Lady Gou Yu overjoyed. Hurriedly bowed and worshipped: "The concubine sees the king." ”
Mrs. Gou Yu is actually a beauty, although she is not as stunning as Xi Shi Zheng Dan, but she is also one in a million. But at this time, in King Wu's view, it was unpleasant to the eye.
King Wu has been bewitched by the art of foxes, and he has long been blind to the beauty of ordinary women's true colors.
But King Wu knew that coming to Chaoyang Palace was Xi Shi's intention, and he had to do this well in order to win Xi Shi's favor. Although he had a dislike for the queen Gou, he still didn't let himself show it.
He pulled up Mrs. Gou and said apologetically: "Queen, please get up, you and I are husband and wife, and we don't have to make this big gift." The widow has not come to Zhengyang Palace for a long time, and the queen will forgive me. ”
Mrs. Gou said, "Isn't the king coming?" It's good to come. What does the king want to eat? ”
King Wu said: "The widow is not hungry and does not want to eat, so come to a cup of tea." ”
The maid offered the tea, Gou Yu took it, tried the heat and cold with her lips, and then put it in front of King Wu, and said, "It's a little hot, the king takes a sip." ”
This made King Wu a little moved, after all, he was a wife and knew how to care about hot and cold.
Gou Yu said, "King, you go to bed and rest first, and the concubine will iron your clothes." ”
King Wu said, "This matter still needs to be done by the queen, just let them iron it." ”
Mrs. Gou said, "How can the king's clothes be ironed for them, or the concubines." ”
He walked over, made the bed, and then helped King Wu lie down and covered the quilt for King Wu: "The king will rest first, and the concubines will be fine immediately." "A maid brought charcoal and heated the iron. Gou Yu concentrated on ironing the clothes for King Wu.
King Wu was lying in the quilt, and suddenly felt infinitely calm in his heart. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
The next day, early in the morning, there was a report from the head of the palace that today was the day of the death of the first king, whether the king would lead his ministers to the cemetery to worship.
Of course, there are festivals. That's the big deal. King Wu immediately issued a decree, and after breakfast, the ministers gathered in the main hall, and then went to the cemetery to worship.
King Yue also received instructions to lead Sima Zhe to clean the cemetery thoroughly, make all preparations, and welcome the king to pay tribute.
The court was also busy, preparing sacrifices, incense, candles, paper horses, and then sending people to the cemetery to place them, ready to welcome the king's worship. And inform Bo Ya to prepare to host. Notify Wu Zixu to lead the Beijing guards to surround the cemetery and make a strong reputation.
King Wu hurriedly ate breakfast and rushed to the main hall, the ministers were already waiting in the main hall, Dazai shouted and set off, King Wu went out of the main hall to board, the civil officials rode in the car, and the military attache got on the horse. Mighty and mighty, coming to the Lu Cemetery.
The king of Yue has already led the queen Yayu and Ruyi Bo Fan Li to greet outside the cemetery. The sacrificial ceremony is a national event, and there is no need to elaborate on many red tapes.
King Wu led the crowd to worship the first king, and the harem suddenly quieted down. Queen Gouyu sat alone in Zhengyang Palace, still in many details. The sudden arrival of King Wu gave her a great surprise, and now that she was king, her heart became lost again. He knew that next time, King Wu didn't know when he would come again.
She is young and healthy, and needs the care and love of the king, but it is almost impossible for the woman of the emperor's house to possess the king alone, and as a queen, it is not bad for the king to be lucky every once in a while. But how can it not be maddening to see each other like this for many years.
The sense of crisis once again occupied Gou's heart. She is an honest person, she was tormented in pain, and she had no idea of fighting, Wu Zixu ignited the fire of jealousy in his heart, she knew that it was Xi Shi and Zheng Dan who confused her king. She felt the anger in her heart burn brightly. I want to find an opportunity to vent the resentment in my heart.
With a belly of anger, Mrs. Gou Yu took her entourage out of Zhengyang Palace, wandering around the inner courtyard of the huge harem, and the palace maids around her were like tour guides, explaining what kind of flower and grass this was. What kind of tree is this.
Mrs. Gou listened to it, and she didn't take it to heart.
Suddenly, the women in front of them came talking and laughing, and when they saw the queen, they immediately retreated to the edge of the road, raised their heads, and said in unison: "The queen is well!" ”
Gou Yu saw that it was Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, as well as two personal maids, Luo Jiang and Zimei. It's really enemies. His eyes were red, Gou Yu sneered, and asked the people around him, "Who are these?" ”
The people around her told her that this was Mrs. Changguo Xi Shi and Mrs. Haoguo Zheng Dan. Gou Yu walked over and said angrily, "Madam, what Madame?" What is the merit of the country and the family? and called him Mrs. in vain. ”
The queen is the supreme lord of the harem and has irresistible authority.
Xi Shi and Zheng Dan lowered their heads and did not dare to answer. They are not stupid, offended the queen and were humiliated by her, and King Wu could not avenge them.
Gou Yu said: "You are Xi Shi? ”
Xi Shi said: "Slave Xi Shi." ”
Gou Yu said: "You are Zheng Dan?" ”
Zheng Dan said: "Slave Zheng Dan." ”
Gou Yu said, "What kind of magic did you use to confuse the king?" So that the kings will not go to court? If the king wastes state affairs, the state of Wu will be in danger, do you want to bring down the state of Wu? ”
Gou Yu launched Weilai is really powerful, and he is so frightened that Xi Shi Zheng Dan does not dare to come out.
Gou Yu said: "You two are the same calamity as Daji's praise. What do you dare to call Mrs. ”
Luo Jiang couldn't help it. He whispered, "The queen is not a false title, but the name of the king's reward." ”
Gou Yu was furious: "Bold! It's really against you, and the maids around you dare to talk back. Come! ”
Two attendants ran over: "The slave is here." ”
Gou Yu said: "Pull this rotten hoof down for me, and give me ten lashes!" ”
The two chamberlains were also stunned, they didn't know why the queen, who had always been gentle, suddenly lost her temper. Xi Shi and Zheng Dan are the king's favorite people, and the people around them can also fight? Did you hear it wrong?
The two chamberlains looked at Gou Yu in a daze, and didn't move: "Queen, this ......."
Gou Yu shouted: "Do you want to disobey the will of this palace?" ”
The attendant said, "The slave doesn't dare! ”
Gou Yu shouted: "Pull down, fight!" ”
Luo Jiang couldn't think of a word, so he incurred such a punishment, and wanted to justify: "The queen ......"
Gou Yu said: "Fight! ”
The two chamberlains pulled up Luo Jiang and dragged it away.
There is a house for execution in the harem, and because of the benevolence of Gou Yu, few palace people are punished. Luo Jiang was the first person to receive this heavy punishment.
The whip was whipped on his body, and with each whip, Luo Jiang let out a miserable scream.
Xi Shi couldn't help it, and said, "Queen, it's because I didn't discipline the people around me well, so you want to beat me." ”
Gou Yu said: "You are not small, you dare to contradict this palace, do you think I dare not beat you?" Palm! As he spoke, he slapped and slapped Xi Shi's face, leaving five fingerprints on his pink face immediately!
