King Chu glanced at the palace maids and temple people next to him, and said lightly: "You guys retreat first." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As the palace maids on the left and right slowly and orderly retreated, the body of the palace maid who was pointed out trembled more and more, her face became more and more pale, she knelt on the ground with a pounce, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the slave maid still has parents in the family who need to be supported, and I ask the king to spare my life." ”

"Spare your life?" King Chu's eyes gradually narrowed, the lights around him were a little dim, and the breeze blowing from the palace gate blew the nearby curtains. His eyes suddenly widened, his cloudy and dark yellow eyes turned outward, and his wrinkled face trembled with the voice: "Many people have told me this sentence, but they are all dead, and it is your honor to serve the widows, you know?" ”

"The slave knows, the slave knows." The palace maid's face was pale, and a drop of cold sweat silently dripped on the floor, making a crisp sound. She slowly crawled to the side of the King of Chu, a pair of thin white hands emerged from her wide sleeved robe, and she trembled and gradually wrapped her arms around the legs of the King of Chu.

The dark color of the lower garment gradually fell from the waist of the king of Chu, like a blooming peony, like the morning dew sliding through the petals, and the fluffy undergarment was slowly pressed to the ground step by step by the palace maid.

A tear slipped silently from the corner of the palace maid's eyes, flowing down her smooth cheeks to the fading Luo skirt, soaking her heart and vicissitudes of life.

From the palace gate, the dim yellow light was revealed, and under the dark and silent sky, the palace maids and temple people lowered their heads numbly, quietly listening to the voice of complaining and crying, like a yellow bird crying softly, but after a while, the palace maid's continuous cries of pain were louder and louder, and gradually became smaller.

The pink Luo skirt covered the scarred body, the white and tender skin had blood stains, the palace maid's beautiful face frowned lightly, endured the pain, grabbed the clothes tightly with her right hand, and said softly with a trill: "Thank you for your mercy!" ”

King Chu tightened his robe, glanced at the palace maid, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

With a faint cry, the palace maid replied in a low voice, "The slave's name is Yuxi." ”

The king of Chu slowly walked to the throne and sighed: "You can be a beloved, would you like it?" ”

"The slave is willing."

。。。。。。

In the palace, in a long corridor, Tian Jian stood on the edge of the corridor, looked at the bright sunshine, and said softly: "When?" ”

The weather in Chu State, one will rain heavily, one will be sunny, and yesterday's heavy rain only lasted for one night, and when it came to the morning, I found that it had already stopped.

"Your Highness, it's noon." Xiao Ai replied beside him.

"Noon? Time to go. Tian Jian glanced at the sundial in the courtyard, the dazzling sunlight was clearly reflected on the sundial, but it really showed noon, but it was still some time away.

"Your Royal Highness, the king of Chu doesn't see you, but the queen of Chu wants to see you, what kind of pass is this?" Xiao Ai wondered.

"Hongu doesn't know either." Tian Jian replied. "However, there must be a connection between these things, there must be a tacit understanding between the king of Chu and the queen of Chu, but what is the connection, this is what this palace does not know."

"By the way, did Wei Qing leave?"

"Let's go."

"Okay, just wait for the autumn hunting of the year, and then it will be our opportunity to act." Tian Jian clenched his fingers and said in a low voice.

。。。。。。

Zhang Huatai, Queen Chu was wearing a heavy dress, her head was tilted back, her eyebrows were tightened, her eyes were like autumn water, and her soft hands shook her face gently, hoping that the breeze could dispel the subtle sweat on her forehead.

"Why is the prince of the Qi Kingdom so lazy, Benhou has been waiting for him here for a long time." Queen Chu said.

"The queen waited patiently, this palace has its own etiquette system, maybe the crown prince of Qi has already come, but he has been delayed in the palace for some hours." The female officer next to her persuaded.

"Then the palace will listen to what you say, wait for this prince of Qi Kingdom, I hope he will not disappoint the palace at that time." After speaking, Queen Chu giggled.

"The prince of Qi has arrived." The attendant at the door sang.

I saw a majestic, gentle, and star-eyed man walk in from the gate of the palace, with a faint smile on his face.

He waved at the queen of Chu and said, "I have seen the queen in Xia Tianjian." ”

"Qi has always been an outstanding person, this palace thought it was a lie, but today I saw the prince, only to find out that this queen was wrong." Queen Chu said with a smile.

Tian Jianwen smiled and said: "The queen praised it, built in Linzi, there is no talent, no virtue, and the name of a masterpiece, I really dare not bear it." ”

Queen Chu laughed coquettishly, gently covered her lips with her slender white fingers, and said softly: "The prince is really modest, but I don't know what these temple people behind the prince are doing." ”

Tian Jian said again: "Thanks to the queen's love, Jian came here to bring three small gifts for the queen, and I hope the queen will not laugh." ”

"Where does the prince say this, this is the prince's heart, it's too late to be happy!" Queen Chu snorted.

Tian Jian raised his head and glanced at Queen Chu carefully, and was stunned at a glance, he was really angry, and the three thousand green silk gently combed his sideburns, and a few strands of green silk in his ears swayed gently with the breeze, like a jade face with a hint of redness.

After a long time, Tian Jian lowered his head and hurriedly said, "Please also ask the queen to accept these three treasures with a smile." ”

As soon as the words fell, the three attendants in the back took a step forward and opened the wooden box in their hands.

"The first piece is a piece of jewelry, this is a hosta, is the jade of Kunshan, according to legend, it was King Mu of Zhou who traveled to Kunlun by car, and obtained this jade at the tip of the mountaintop, hidden in the treasury of King Zhou, when King Zhou You, in order to fight a smile, King Zhou You ordered the craftsman to carefully carve for half a year before he got this hosta." Tian Jian said slowly.

Queen Chu was shocked when she heard this, such a treasure is rare in the world, and the prince actually gave it to him.

"Bring it to the queen and show it." Queen Chu said urgently.

Take a look at the hosta, only to see that the hosta is as white and greasy as milk, and it is even smoother to the touch, and what is more surprising is that the hosta is carved with a Luan phoenix, and the crested head is the hairpin of this hosta, and there is a drop of red in the white, like a bird's crown.

"The red leaves in this hairpin head have a bit of exquisiteness, it is said that this hosta was successfully polished back then, and the craftsman worked hard because of his hard work, and finally the oil ran out of the lamp, and this red is the craftsman's heart's blood." Tian Jian explained.

"Thank you to the prince for giving this hosta, I will thank you for this later." Queen Chu said with a smile.

"Don't dare, don't dare, Qu Zi said: Pei is colorful and its decorations, and Fang Fei is full of chapters. Beauty with beautiful accessories, this hosta with the queen, it is a match made in heaven. Tian Jiandao.
