Chapter Seventy-Four: Anger at Both Ends

After the commemoration of the former king, King Wu hurried back to the harem, but he couldn't find Xi Shi and Zheng Dan. Hurriedly called Xiao Xia, the waiter who stayed behind, to ask. Xiao Xia trembled with fright and knelt on the ground: "King, something is wrong." ”

King Wu was surprised: "Say, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Xia said: "The queen mother beat Mrs. Changguo, and also whipped the maid Luo Jiang. ”

King Wu was shocked, and such a big thing happened when he left the harem for a while. The always docile queen Mrs. Gouyu, how could she have such a big temper?

King Wu said, "Tell me, what is the cause of the incident?" ”

Xiao Xia said: "Actually, there is no cause. "I told you about the situation.

King Wu sighed, the matter is very clear, Xi Shi Zheng Dan was favored by King Wu, and Gou Yu used the power in his hands to retaliate. This kind of court drama is staged in the harem of almost every country. Fight for favor, fight, calculate, dump. As a king, sometimes he is angry at both ends.

This is a king's domestic affair, and if it is not involved in state affairs, foreign ministers generally do not intervene. So the king had to deal with these matters himself. But sometimes it is the public who says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong.

King Wu said, "What about Mrs. Changguo and Mrs. Haoguo? ”

Xiao Xia said: "I was taken to Zhengyang Palace by the queen." ”

King Wu's head is blown up again, there is a place in Zhengyang Palace, which is equivalent to the court of the front palace, where does the queen deal with things, that is, the queen uses her own power, as long as the matter belongs to the pure harem affairs and does not involve military affairs, the king is generally not easy to ask. This is the rule, it is the system of the state.

Things are a little troublesome, but I can't help but go. King Wu felt sorry for Xi Shi and Zheng Dan. took Xiao Xia and hurried to Zhengyang Palace.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gou Yu was not playing prestige or losing her temper, but hid in the dormitory. There was a car parked outside the palace gate, and the maids were packing up their things towards the car.

As soon as everyone saw King Wu coming in a hurry, they immediately paid their respects.

King Wu said, "What are you doing here?" ”

An elderly chamberlain came over and said, "King Qiyu, my princess ordered us to pack our things, and she said that she wanted to go back to her mother's house. "This chamberlain was married by Gou Yu, so he called the queen a princess."

King Wu was taken aback, he didn't expect that things would be so serious. According to the convention, once the princess of the imperial family marries with other countries, the princess who marries out can never return to her parents' home, and if the princess who marries out returns to her parents' home, it is the greatest insult to the country, which means war.

King Wu said, "Stop first, and I will go to the queen." ”

hurriedly entered Zhengyang Palace and saw Mrs. Gou Yu crying sadly. King Wu felt that his first burst of hair was big, and a woman's trick was to cry, no matter whether it was justified or not, it would be justified as soon as she cried.

When Gou Yu saw King Wu, he suddenly burst into tears, and cried while paying homage.

King Wu said, "Queen, please get up quickly, tell the widow what you have to do, and the widow will give you an idea." "He doesn't make a decision, he just gives an idea.

He reached out to pull Gouyu, who crawled on the ground and cried, but he didn't get up.

Gou Yu said: "The concubine wants to ask the king, the concubine married to the state of Wu and made those mistakes. ”

King Wu was stunned, Gou Yu was a good woman, she really didn't make any mistakes, and she was sympathetic, and she had an excellent reputation in the palace. The virtuous name spread outside the palace, and the common people also admired her very much.

King Wu said, "No one said that the queen made a mistake!" ”

The queen said: "Today's incident is also that the concubine is not good, you should not lose your temper, the matter is not big, and the patience will pass." The people below contradicted the concubines, so let them contradict a few words. And they were the king's favorite women. The concubines taught them a lesson, which made the king very faceless. ”

King Wu finally understood that this was the jealousy between women. I have been infatuated with Xi Shi and Zheng Dan during this time, and I don't touch the queen's side at all, and the queen is sad and jealous, which is normal.

The queen has power in her hands and a strong background, so it is too easy to clean up Xi Shi and Zheng Dan from the countryside, and nothing can happen.

King Wu said with a smile: "The queen is angry, Mrs. Changguo and Mrs. Haoguo are both from the countryside, and some don't understand the rules, and they contradict the queen, or they may have." The queen was right to punish them and teach them a lesson, and it was good for them to know that the court was not such a casual place in the country. Come, queen, arise."

He stretched out his hand and pulled, and Gou Yu got up, and kept wiping his tears.

King Wu said: "Punish them and punish them, and the queen cannot be angry with them, and when the widow sees them, she will naturally scold them." ”

Gou Yu said: "The concubines know that the king likes them, so the concubines should bear with them." Otherwise, the king, you can abolish the concubines and let them be in charge of the main palace. ”

King Wu said: "Don't say that, the queen must not say that, you and I are married, the whole world knows, this is a matter of national body, how can it be so casual?" ”

Gou Yu said: "Why don't you let the concubine go back to her parents' house for a while." He shouted outside, "Have you packed up your things?" ”

King Wu smiled and said, "Okay, queen, don't make trouble, haven't you seen that the widow has been saying good things to you?" It's such a big thing, and if you make more trouble, the people below will secretly say that the queen has no measure. ”

King Wu knew that it was useless to just speak out of thin air, and he had to be real, so he hugged Gou Yu and tried his best to comfort her while saying good things.

Seeing this scene, the palace maids and attendants all bowed their heads and retreated.

Sure enough, this trick is very clever. Gou Yu was originally an honest person, and if she lost her temper, she would be very uncomfortable, if Wu Zixu hadn't taught her, she wouldn't have thought of doing it herself.

Under the appeasement of King Wu, the ice in Gou Yu's heart gradually melted, and his heart could no longer harden.

She actually knew very well in her heart that Xi Shi and Zheng Dan were not to blame for this, the king favored them, how could it be their fault? I just have nothing to do. She can't do what Wu Zixu taught her, and keep killing Xi Shi and Zheng Dan.

After saving for a while, Gou Yu said: "King, otherwise, the concubine will admit her mistake to the two ladies, and forget it, okay?" ”

King Wu knew that it was okay, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "What did the queen say?" Just let them go back. ”

The queen is fine here, so what about Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, they also have to be comforted. That was his most beloved beauty, and he remembered all the good things about Xi Shi Zheng Dan. I couldn't help but sigh secretly, you make such a fuss, but you want me, the king, to be left and right, angry at both ends, and to please both ends.

What a terrible thing!

Xi Shi and Zheng Dan didn't cry like the queen, but their faces were full of shame, and they fell to the ground and said, "The concubine didn't do well." Angering the queen and making it difficult for the king. ”

King Wu was grateful in his heart, but this was still heartwarming. said: "The two ladies have been wronged, please go back to the palace." The widow will come with you later. ”

Zimei said: "King, let the slave maid say, in recent days, the king has been accompanying the queen in Zhengyang Palace." ”

Xi Shi and Zheng Dan also said: "King, accompany the queen more." ”
