In the Luanfeng Palace, there is a pitching pot under the shade of flowers, and a few arrows are abandoned in the pot and on the ground. On the side, Queen Ji Ying and Princess Xiaoman were bowing. Both of them wore a new style of military clothing designed by Qing Ji when he was in Philadelphia, with military trousers and tights made of plain white and Lu Min, and a pair of shallow-waisted deerskin boots on their feet.

The snow-white military uniform is tight and close-fitting, with leggings at the ankles, wrist guards, a black samurai belt around the waist, two jade faces and beaded lips, picturesque eyebrows, one petite and exquisite, the other tall, both have slender waists and tight waists, and are graceful and graceful. They are beautiful and beautiful, and they are bright for a while, and it is difficult to distinguish between up and down.

However, at first glance, Ji Ying's waist looks like a weak willow, her chest is round, the martial pants that resemble breeches are about to be tied, her buttocks are plump, her long legs are round, and the curves of her chest, waist and legs are smooth and slender.

It is impossible to know where Keju originated, but it was carried forward by Qi people who like novelty and enjoyment. Qi people, regardless of men and women, many people do not leave their feet, and finally say that they play with a bow. The Lu people are the closest to the Qi country, and because the Qi country is rich and strong, the Qi people are the best to learn, and it is because of this Keju technique that it was also introduced to the Lu State, so Ji Sun Xiaoman is also proficient in the art of Keju.

Shaoguang and Ruoxi are older than her, and their surnames are much calmer, and they like to play the piano and blow the flute, fish and paint, and do some games that are more Sven, while Jisun Xiaoman's surname is lively and energetic, and he always thinks that these games are too dull, although they have a very good relationship with each other, they don't have much fun together.

So since I met the queen and got acquainted with Ji Huan, the two are the same age, both are extraordinary, smart and lively girls, but they can be regarded as finding a companion, Ji Sun Xiaoman came to play with her every now and then, but also relieved a lot of loneliness for Ji Huan.

"Alas! No more kicking, no more kicking! ”

Ji Sun Xiaoman stepped on the ball, touched his handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and gasped: "This juju is still taught to you by others, you have only been learning for a long time, but it is better than what others kick, it is really frustrating." ”

Ji Ying's long legs are staggered, her waist is slim, and a ball stuffed with cloth bags is dragging around her body, and it never falls to the ground. Her legs are extremely long, if they are hooked or wiped, picked or bent, their movements are light and free, and they are extremely beautiful.

Ji Huan grabbed the ball with her toes and said to Xiao Man: "At the beginning, I learned the kung fu of 'hugging the flower shoulder' from the slave girl of Xirong, I don't know how long it took me to learn, but I only taught you a few days, and now when I do it with you, I am often inexplicably fallen by you, and I am still discouraged." ”

Ji Sun Xiaoman grinned, grimaced, and said triumphantly: "You don't understand this, no matter what, you are the princess of Qin Kingdom, and the opportunity to do it is limited, but my Ji Sun Xiaoman has grown up fighting since he was a child, how do you compare with me in this kung fu?" Let's go, let's go to the pavilion to rest and enjoy the coolness. Hey, Yin'er, go and serve two bowls of sour plum soup to the queen and concubine. ”

Yin Er agreed and hurriedly retreated, Xiaoman and Ji Huan went to the pavilion and sat down, Hao'er presented wet wipes, the two washed their faces, and sat down in the pavilion. Yin Er hurriedly brought two bowls of sour plum soup, Xiao Man held it in his hand, spit it out after only taking a sip, and said to Yin Er: "Hey, why are you so lazy, you have to put a few pieces of ice in it, how can you drink this warm sour plum soup?" ”

Yin Er glanced at her curtly, and said expectantly: "Barbarian princess, it's not that the maid is lazy, it's really ...... It's ......."

"Yin'er!" Ji Huan stopped her, turned to Xiaoman and smiled: "If Xiaoman is hot, why don't we go to bathe, the well water is cool, take a bath, and it will be cool." ”

Xiao Man looked at her in surprise and said, "Why did the queen stop Yin Er from talking, what happened?" ”

"Not much ......"

Ji Huan didn't finish a sentence, Yin Er's mouth was fast, and she hurriedly said: "The Inner Mansion Division said that there is not much ice in the ice stock, and it can only be used for the king to cool off, so the ice has been stopped, why doesn't the princess know?" ”

Xiao Man glared at him and said, "Who said that the supply of Tibetan ice has been stopped, I ......"

She glanced at Ji Huan, her heart suddenly moved, she had already understood, and suddenly stopped, Ji Huan's face suddenly flashed a gloomy look, and the pitiful appearance made Xiaoman's heart hot, and his heart of righteousness gradually rose.

"Okay, okay, how to drink this warm soup raw, withdraw it, take the good wine from the well water, Queen, Xiaoman can stir-fry a good dish, all of them are new dishes that you have never seen before, let Xiaoman show his skills and drink with the queen."

Everyone in the palace now knows that Qingji snubbed the queen, since the wedding night, he has never set foot in Luanfeng Palace, Xiaoman is also very curious, but when he asks about Qingji, he can't get any news from him, not to mention Ji Huan here, she shook her head and just sighed when she asked lightly, and she was dazzled when she asked seriously, so that Xiaoman and the girls who shook the light tacitly in front of the queen and never mentioned it again.

As soon as he heard the wine, Ji Huan said: "Make, Yin'er, go and fetch wine for the princess to drink." She apologized to Xiaoman again: "Xiaoman, I have sworn that I will not drink for the rest of my life, and I can't accompany you to enjoy myself, so I will replace wine with water and drink with you." ”

"How so?" Xiao Manqi said: "I heard Hao'er say that the queen is fond of drinking, and she is good at drinking, why did she ban alcohol for no reason?" ”

She paused for a moment, and finally couldn't help but say, "Queen......, what happened between you and the king?" ”

Ji Huan bowed her head gloomily and said faintly: "It's all my fault...... don't ask again, princess barbarian." She sighed, raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Come, let's move to the palace and sit and drink together." ”

Xiaoman is a girl who can't keep her thoughts, Ji Huan just blindly plays dumb riddles with her, which makes Xiaoman depressed. This stuffy meal was really boring to drink alone, and when it was finally over, Xiaoman immediately said goodbye to Ji Huan and left Luanfeng Palace.

"Has the king ever returned?" As soon as Xiao Man came out of Luanfeng Palace, he asked a maid passing by.

The maid hurriedly stopped and saluted: "Back to the barbarian princess, the king has returned to the harem." ”

"Where is he now?"

"In the palace of the princess."

Xiao Man didn't say a word, and led his maids and maids to rush to the palace.

If you regret the palace, Qingji sat on the ground, put a pottery urn at his feet, the urn was full of crystal clear ice, bursts of white air rose up, and the room was cool.

There are a few delicate side dishes on the table, Qingji and Ruoxi chat, sometimes take a sip, and enjoy it.

"The king let a newcomer not be used, but always went to stay in the palace of the concubine. If the queen is ugly and ugly, then it is desirable, but the queen is obviously born with a charming and charming appearance. Moreover, the queen's surname is also frank and honest, and every time the concubine greets Her Majesty, it is very speculative to talk to her. Don't hide it from the king, when the queen came from the Qin Kingdom, the three sisters and I were often worried about ourselves, for fear of meeting someone who was difficult to deal with, but Ji Ying's surname was straightforward and honest, without scheming, and everyone liked it from the bottom of their hearts, why did the king ......"

Qingji frowned slightly: "If it's a pity, did Ji Huan ask you to be a lobbyist?" ”

"Of course not, it would be better if the queen was willing to speak, but unfortunately no matter how she asked, she just shook her head and sighed, and when she asked too much, she was dizzy and burst into tears, which made people baffled." Ruoxi rolled his eyes, covered his lips and asked with a smile: "King, why don't you talk about listening to your concubine, why did Her Majesty the Queen annoy the king?" But...... But on the night of the cave room, don't you know the way of service? ”

Qingji couldn't smile bitterly, and pretended to be angry at her: "The widow wants to come to be quiet and quiet, you are partial and noisy, you women, ......, this curious surname is really innate......"

At this moment, Ji Sun Xiaoman ran in like a gust of wind: "King, hey! You're at ease. ”

Qingji raised his eyebrows and smiled: "This costume designed by the widow is beautiful enough, right?" Xiaoman put it on, like a beautiful boy with pink makeup, hehe, he saw the widow's index finger move. ”

As he spoke, he slid his eyes at the little man's round, curvaceous little buttocks. Xiaoman's pretty buttocks are firm and round, her complexion is like egg white cream, and her hand feels smooth and straight, Qingji often wants to pick her backyard daisy, but she mentions it a few times, Xiaoman feels timid and terrifying even in the confusion, and always begs him for mercy.

But after all, Xiaoman is already a little woman who used to be in the sea, how can she not understand the matter of the bed? At this time, Qingji had a narrow smile on his face, and when he saw where he was looking, Xiao Man understood, remembering that shameful moment, he couldn't help but blush, and scolded him and said, "Phew! Like? I like to go to Weiguo to find that time, she is a dignified princess Wu, but she is not your prostitute. ”

Unexpectedly, at the same time, if he saw Qingji's eyes, his jade face turned crimson, and he was ashamed to smack, and said angrily: "The king is so unserious, he talks in broad daylight, and thinks of some silver evil thoughts." ”

"Hey, could it be that you ......" Ji Sun Xiaoman was surprised by Ruoxi's embarrassed expression, and suddenly became suspicious, and his heart was a little sour: "Could it be that the two of them have achieved such a good thing?" No wonder the king has come to my sister's palace many more times than to me, hum! I thought they had pity on me, for someone had served him......"

Xiao Man's heart turned to the thought, in fact, she had wronged Qingji. Qingji is considering that Xiaoman's body is not very mature, so he doesn't spend much time in her palace, and even when he is happy with her, he often pays attention to restraint and takes some measures not to want her to conceive and give birth to a child too early. But where can this painstaking little man understand? She is jealous now, in fact, there are still some children with surnames, I just want the two to be good, what others have done with him, I should have done the same to not suffer, but I am competitive, in fact, like her, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, ** is not strong, Qingji as long as she sleeps with her at night, even if she doesn't do anything, she is just as content.

When he heard Xiaoman's question, his face couldn't help but get hotter, and he quickly changed the topic and said, "Xiaoman thinks that he came to my sister because he was bored in the palace, right?" Come on, come and sit down together and drink a few glasses of wine with the king. ”

If it is a pity for this interruption, Xiao Man suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit, and couldn't help but snort and said: "I can't drink it, here is love and love, and there is a quiet grievance, and people can't stand it." ”

Ruo Xi was surprised: "Xiaoman...... What did you say? Why doesn't my sister understand? ”

Xiao Man sat beside her angrily, glared at Qingji and said, "King, people want to ask, the queen just married Wu Guo, where did she offend you and let you treat her like this?" ”

Qingji squinted at her and snorted: "Ji Huan, this girl is a good means, and she actually let several of you come forward to speak for her." ”

Ruoxi sighed and said: "Since the little man's sister has mentioned it, the king doesn't think the concubine is noisy, no matter what, Ji Huan is the master of the harem of my Wu Palace, no matter how the king snubs her, this identity can't be changed." If there is harmony between the harem sisters, the king can work on national affairs without distraction. The king snubbed the queen, and the queen did not blame us, but others inevitably said that the three of us were charming and seduced the lord, so that the king snubbed the concubine. After a long time, once the queen is resentful, the harem is not quiet, and the king also has a headache? Speaking of which, the queen has just married Wu Guo, and she must not have made any unforgivable mistakes. The king of a country has a big heart, how can he be as good as a little girl? ”

Qingji took a breath and said: "The king has no family affairs, family affairs are state affairs, where are there trivial matters." If her surname is more spicy, everyone can tolerate it. But...... The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, which is one of the national policies established by the widow at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, how can it be easily changed? When Ji Ying first arrived in Wu State, she asked the widow to help her sister Empress Dowager Chu, but the widow refused to agree, so she used wine to show her power and started martial arts with the widow, how could the widow not be annoyed? The world is too busy with major events, and the widow still has the time to talk to her about the theory? ”

"The king refuses to answer?" Ruo Xi was surprised: "Didn't the king already have a secret discussion with the Empress Dowager Chu?" ”

Qingji hummed: "Yes, there is, but it was an alliance between the two countries that the widow negotiated with the Chinese Wu of the DPRK and concluded with the Chu people, but it was not entrusted by Ji Yun to send troops to help." ”

Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It turns out that for this matter, the king is also stubborn, in fact, as long as the king pushes the boat down the river and tells the queen that it is because of her reason that he has formed an alliance with the Chu people, then it will not only fulfill the state affairs, but also reassure the queen's heart, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone and be happy?" ”

Qingji Zhengse said: "Isn't the widow's hard work in vain? It must be known that the widow did not refuse her because he couldn't help the Chu State, but whether he could help or not, the order could only come from one person, whether it was allied with the Chu State or not, it must be due to the needs of the Wu State, and the widow and the courtiers discussed and decided, and could not be advocated by the harem. Not this time, not in the future, the national policy of the harem not to interfere in politics must be thoroughly implemented by the widow, and it can never be abolished. ”

Seeing his stern voice, Xiao Man couldn't help muttering: "The concubine's participation in politics is an ordinary matter, isn't the Empress Dowager Chu, who has a secret discussion with you, also a woman?" ”

Qingji smiled slightly: "She is the queen mother of Chu State, not the queen mother of Wu State, and the women in the palace of Wu are not allowed to interfere in politics." ”

Xiao Man rolled his eyes at him and snorted, "What, are you afraid that we women won't be able to do anything and ruin your plans, or are you afraid that we will take away your power?" ”

Qing Ji saw her stupid appearance, and said with a smile: "The widow is not Song Zhaogong, and the little man who believes in me is not Mrs. Xiang, but for the sake of the country and the future, the widow must guard against the slightest." ”

The story of Mrs. Xiang and Song Zhaogong mentioned by Qingji took place in the Song Kingdom more than a hundred years ago, and the wife of Song Xianggong, the benevolent and righteous overlord who refused to attack halfway, was the younger sister of Zhou Tianzi. After the death of Song Xianggong, his son Song Chenggong succeeded to the throne, and died of illness seventeen years later, and was succeeded by his grandson Song Zhaogong.

Song Zhaogong's brother Bao Nai is an extremely famous beautiful man, the history books say that he is "beautiful and glamorous", Song Xiang Duchess fell in love with this beautiful man who should be his grandson according to his generation, so he flattered him in every way, and finally simply killed the grandson Song Zhaogong, and renamed him as the monarch, and the two justifiably stayed together, because this matter also led to the then overlord of the world, the Jin State, to send troops to crusade, and uphold justice for the unjustly killed Song Zhaogong.

Xiao Man listened to his analogy, couldn't help but wrinkle his nose at him, and deliberately angry with him: "Who said that people are not Mrs. Xiang?" Hmph, when you are old and decrepit, you will annoy others, and at that time, you will fall in love with a beautiful man, and people will go to learn Mrs. Xiang. ”

Speaking of which, she couldn't help herself, and laughed out loud first.

As soon as Qingji Ape stretched out his arm, he hugged her waist, hugged her light body, rested on her lap, and "snapped" on her buttocks was a loud slap, and after punishing her unobstructed, he said: "The king of entrepreneurship, the foundation of the country is laid down by himself, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are brought out by himself, and most of them are shrewd, so it is naturally not easy to fall into power." But no matter which dynasty or country, there is only one generation of founding kings after all.

What about their descendants? Born in the palace since childhood, growing up in the hands of the concubine, he doesn't know the affairs of the world, even after being in power, he doesn't have much opportunity to understand the world. They have the most contact, one is the temple people, the other is the concubine, if the concubine interferes in politics, it is very easy. And can the concubine leave the palace often? Can you listen to the government in the court? Can you meet with the ministers of the DPRK and China frequently? No, they can only stay in the deep palace, so they can only trust and reuse their relatives to control the government through them.

Once these imperial relatives seized power and used their status advantages to isolate the king from their courtiers, undesirable ambitions began to emerge. What to do then? ”

It's a pity that she taught her sister not to indulge in slavery and bully the master, and the family and the country are reasonable, so she can understand the truth of Qingji, but Ji Sun Xiaoman is still unconvinced: "How can the temple people be qualified to take charge of the government?" Let's talk about the concubine, there are many concubines in various countries in the world who are involved in politics, and I don't see many relatives who are in trouble. ”

Qingji said: "That's because when the princes stand side by side today, and the countries are fighting and killing each other, the monarchs can't help but take care of the affairs of the court and have frequent contact with the ministers, so it is difficult for the power to fall into the hands of relatives." What if it is a large country with a stable country? What if the world was unified? ”

Qingji knew what most of the eunuchs had done politically since Zhao Gao, and he also knew that after the death of Qin, the six queen mothers of the Han Dynasty took turns to govern, and their relatives were autocratic, making the Han Dynasty a miasma, until it was over. In this era of the family and the country, the concubines interfere in politics, even if they don't want to do harm, but most of the time they can only develop in that direction. Later generations have gained experience with tragic sacrifices, and it is strange that he did not guard against it early.

Qingji said: "Now it is the world that is harmful, and it is Shiqing who sits on the big usurpation of power and deceives the master." Taking today's Jin State as an example, the fifth of the six kings, their ancestors are loyal and loyal courtiers under the command of Duke Wen of Jin, but after several generations, the family has gradually become stronger, but can the loyalty of his descendants be the same? Of course not, as much power as there is, there is great ambition, and the root cause of its hidden misfortune lies in the feudal system, which is to expand the territory with a few people, only set up counties and counties, appoint officials, and not divide the cities. After the ban on sub-feudalism and the establishment of counties and counties, it will no longer be the Shiqing clan that will cause trouble to the world in the future, but the harem and the dictatorship of the temple people, do you think that the widow is a self-descending figure and fighting with Ji Huan and a woman? The widow is to think about the long-term and prevent the slightest. ”

Xiao Man gradually calmed down when he heard this, his long eyelashes blinked, and a pair of big black grape-like eyes looked at Qingji intently, Qingji kissed her lightly on the cheek, and said softly: "Think about it, one day, you will have your own son." These children will gradually grow up, and one of them will become the king of Wu. Then, he will hire a concubine, who grew up in the deep palace since childhood, how do they know that people's hearts are sinister, and how do they know right and wrong outside the palace? If the concubines they accept are cronyistic and interfere in political affairs, what will be the outcome? Maybe your flesh and blood, someone will die like that poor Song Zhaogong. ”

Ruoxi and Xiaoman listened to Qingji's words, thinking about that possibility, and couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Qingji said: "The rise and fall of the world has its own laws. What the widow has done is not possible to make the country permanent and the same forever. However, at least these measures can stabilize the country as much as possible, make the country as long as possible, and let the future monarchs of my Wu State have as little as possible about the dictatorship and chaos of my relatives. You are all innocent women, and I didn't want to talk to you about these bloody palace affairs, but since you are my concubines, you must face up to this possibility. ”

Ruo Xi hesitated, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The king taught a lesson. ”

If it is a pity to be the princess of Wu, I also thought about waiting for the Wu country to be more stable, and asked Qingji to give some official positions to his family, so that he would be honored, take care of the people in the family, and do his best for his father. But Qingji's words made her begin to secretly wake up, although Lao Dan's famous saying "Misfortune and fortune are relied on, and blessing and misfortune are lurking" Although the world is not known at this time, Ren Ruoxi has understood a similar truth from Qingji's words.

Xiaoman said in a low voice: "King, even if it is as you said, it should be enough for Ji Huan to suffer, right?" How long are you going to torture her? I'll tell you the truth, I'm ...... I don't really want to go to Luanfeng Palace now, every time I see her, people feel sorry for her. ”

Qingji said abruptly: "If you do something wrong, you will be punished." The widow just snubbed her and didn't see her for a month, why did he have so much grievance? ”

"Yes...... But after all, she is a noble princess of the Qin Kingdom, and the king's such a cold shoulder has already embarrassed her, why ...... Why do you have to reduce the use of Luanfeng Palace, so that she can't raise her head in front of her maids? ”

Qingji was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "The widow just wants to teach her a lesson, not to let her be arrogant." When did you cut the use of Luanfeng Palace? ”

"Huh?" Xiao Man sat up and said in surprise: "Didn't the king order to reduce the use of Luanfeng Palace?" The number of lights and candles in Luanfeng Palace is very small now, and it will be dark at night. Xiaoman is a northerner, he thinks the south of the Yangtze River is hot, and the ice cubes in the hall are never interrupted, but ...... But when I was in the queen's palace, I drank a bowl of sour plum soup without ice cubes, saying that it was ...... It is said that the ice is not enough to hide, and it is only enough for the king to use it alone. ”

"Smack!" Qingji slapped the table, the two sword eyebrows couldn't help but provoke, he swallowed, and then snorted coldly: "This must be the snobbery of the temple people in the palace, seeing that the widow snubbed the queen, he deliberately bullied." Hey! The widow is right, such a snob, once in power, how filthy and shameful. When the queen fell out of favor, even they dared to falsely spread the king's decree and bully them at will; If the widow does not set the rules early, one day the king will be at the mercy of the villain. ”

Ruo Xi glanced at Qingji and asked, "What is the king going to do?" ”

Qingji got up, paced slowly in the hall for a while, turned his head and said to Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, since you are good friends with Ji Huan, I will leave this matter to you." Ming said that you will go to the Luanfeng Palace again, call the temple people who are in charge of the degree, teach a lesson, and send them to the Gusu Mountain Garrison Camp to wash and cook for the soldiers, and then you are not allowed to return to the palace for a step. ”

The corners of his mouth were pulled together, and a shallow smile appeared: "Why doesn't the king go to Luanfeng Palace to be the master of Her Majesty the Queen?" In this way, the mustard between husband and wife was resolved, and I believe that after this lesson, the queen no longer dared to put her beak at will on state affairs, so she served the king with a gentle amount of money. ”

Qingji heard and thought of Ji Huan's delicate face, proud breasts, and unusually slender and graceful legs, and his heart didn't move, but he suddenly remembered that he had said to Ji Huan that he would never step into Luanfeng Palace again. After a little hesitation, he shook his head and found a high-sounding reason: "Do you want to worry about the affairs in the palace?" Ji Huan is my queen of Wu, if the widow wants her to know what not to do, he should also let her know what she should do, this is her queen's position, why should the widow overstep the bounds? ”

Xiaoman had a will, and said happily: "Why wait until tomorrow, it's still early, I'll go to Luanfeng Palace, and I always want Ji Huan to know that it's not my husband who does things to reduce the cost, lest she always look angry and make people uncomfortable to death." ”

After Xiao Man finished speaking, he rushed out with joy.

Qingji didn't call for a word, Xiaoman was gone, Qingji turned his head to look, only to see Ren Ruoxi looking at him thoughtfully, those eyes seemed to understand his thoughts, and he couldn't help but stand up, coughed and said, "Widow...... The wine is over, and it's time to leave. ”

Ruoxi pursed his lips and smiled, and asked, "Since the king came to the palace, why didn't he sleep here tonight?" ”

Qingji snorted and said, "I wasted a lot of saliva with you, and the widow is tired, ...... tonight The widow stayed in the palace of shaking light. ”

"Yes, the concubine sends off the king."

If you show the sleeves of your robe, you will bow to the ground and send it off, Qingji coughed, and walked out of the palace.

Ruo Xi slowly raised his head, his bright eyes turned slightly, and he said to himself with a smile: "How can a tigress who dares to wait with her husband and the current king on the wedding night be afraid of others?" But when she was bullied by the snobbery temple people, she actually endured it as if she had changed people, and the king really moved his mind to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. It's not a matter of being hard, and I immediately knew that I overcame rigidity with softness, this fox girl is not as scheming as it looks. Well...... I just don't know what means she wants to use to invite Lang Jun, who has not been extinguished, back to Luanfeng Palace, and renew their unfinished cave room candle night? Hee-hee, looking forward to it......"

(To be continued)
