Chapter 36: Provoking Phoenix Terrace 2
"Please be gracious to the Queen!" Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui, Mrs. Zi, and Mrs. Hong all knelt down together to intercede for several good sons.
"Sisters, hurry up. Sister Duanfei, be merciful! Today, if you're on Phoenix Terrace, let's spare them. Queen Yi Jiang said with a pale face.
"Today we will see the king, and if we don't see the king, we will be killed, and we will not get up." That Li Qiao'er not only did not thank the queen, but shouted loudly.
"Yes, where has he gone, and why hasn't he come out after we've been here for so long? Queen! Zhang Liangke took over and said heavily.
"Sister, the younger sisters miss the king so much, why don't you let the king come out to see it, and their wishes will be fulfilled, look at this, alas!" Duan Ji was proud in her heart, but she looked embarrassed on the surface, she looked at the queen and said softly.
The situation at this time made Yao Yufeng extremely happy. This embarrassing scene is exactly what she wants. She was happy in her heart, but she was flattering and obedient, saying things that made Yi Jiang more difficult, seducing everyone and arousing everyone's emotions to want to see the king.
"Sisters, don't be entangled, the king concentrates on studying the method of the gossip of the first king, meditating and cultivating in the Phoenix Terrace, if the sisters are taking care of the king, let's go back for the time being, he will arrange a special time for the day, and then invite the sisters to get together, okay?" Although Yi Jiang had expected in his heart that every move taken by Yao Yufeng today would have a deep meaning, but she didn't expect that the harem sisters would not be relentless, and they would chatter like this, insisting on meeting the king, which made Yi Jiang very embarrassed, so she had to say this.
"He arranges time every day, why can't he see the king at this time, just to meet once, why is the queen so obstructive?" Mrs. Huagui said again.
"Yes, the king studies the gossip of the first king on the Phoenix Terrace every day, and it is dinner time at this time, so isn't the king not having dinner? If we don't leave, we'll wait for the king at the queen's sister! Zhang Liangke woke up a lot, his thoughts were very clear, and he said loudly.
Originally, everyone came from Yifeng Palace, and at first they just came to Phoenix Terrace to greet the queen, but after such a trouble, it became a situation where they must see the king.
All of this is understood in my heart, only Wang Gui's wife Duanji and Queen Yi Jiang are understood. The rest of the concubines were just dragged away by the development of the matter, because everyone coaxed again and again, pushing the development of the matter to this part.
"Sisters, don't be stubborn, what? If it's not the main palace, won't it work? The queen was very helpless, and said only that.
The queen knew very well that the king had just taken the antitussive medicine, and he would generally sleep for an hour, and after sleeping for an hour, he would get up for dinner again, and the lobes of his lungs would be repaired by the medicine, and he would naturally be much better. At this time, if he is woken up, the cold wind blowing through more than a dozen doors will inevitably aggravate the condition, and if the cold air in the lung lobes does not invade, it will cause the cold to enter the lungs, and the disease will be more serious. Therefore, Yi Jiang changed her wisdom in the past, and although it was not her style to suppress the public with power, but today when she came to this point, although she knew that this was the result of Mrs. Wang Gui's obstruction, she still issued this sentence, which made these sisters in the harem retreat.
"What's wrong with Sister Queen?" Yao Yufeng raised her head at this time, deliberately pretended to be puzzled, and said, "Sister, don't say it, my sister also misses the king, although I know that he works hard for state affairs and worships his ancestors with filial piety, but today the sisters braved the cold and sincerely came to ask my sister to say goodbye and come to visit the king, why is my sister so prevaricating?" Yao Yufeng deliberately said it very sincerely, with a look of concern, trying to stimulate the harem concubines' longing for King Wu of Zhou again.
"Yes, sister, why is this today, is it difficult, is it difficult to become a king, a king, he 。。。。。" Although Mrs. Huagui didn't finish speaking, it was unintentional, but this time, it aroused a lot of discussion in the hall.
"The king is very good, all the sisters, please go back, the road will be slippery after a while, and the road will not be easy to walk." Yi Jiang blurted out, just want these concubines to go back quickly and settle things.
At this moment, the queen didn't want King Wu of Zhou to get up, she resisted the pressure, and she also wanted to let the man she loved live and recuperate, she didn't want this biting cold to add another layer of frost to King Wu Zhou's illness.
"The queen's sister is trying to shirk everything, isn't it the king?" Qiao Jia'er shouted loudly, but she didn't finish her words, which made everyone suspicious, and there was a small discussion in the hall, and the atmosphere of suspicion and suspicion shrouded the entire hall.
Yi Jiang completely fell into a passive and embarrassing situation, she frowned, but was silent.
At this moment, Father-in-law Defu came out of the side hall like a gust of wind, stood beside the main seat, and proclaimed loudly: "The king has arrived!" ”
I don't know when this Defu ran to the library of books, and I don't know how to use it to attract King Wu of Zhou. After a long exhalation, King Wu of Zhou followed Lei Wu and Lei Hong by his side, with elegant demeanor, walked from the apse to the main seat and sat down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, can you have dinner so late?" King Wu of Zhou calmly and calmly asked, while looking around at the concubines in the main hall.
As soon as King Wu of Zhou suddenly appeared, all the concubines were very surprised, not only completely dispelled the suspicions and doubts in their hearts, but also suppressed the lively farce of Phoenix Terrace just now, and after a moment of tranquility in the hall, Yao Yufeng took the lead and knelt down to the queen and the king to say goodbye.
"King Jin'an, Queen Wan'an! Long live the king, long live, long live! Queen Chitose, Chitose, Chitose! Mrs. Wang Gui led the call, and the rest of the concubines followed the long song of the king and the queen's farewell.
The hall, which was still noisy just now, was orderly and quiet in an instant, and no one dared to say a word.
"What day is it? How did they all arrive at Phoenix Terrace? Ladies and gentlemen, it is cold, but you must take good care of your body! King Wu of Zhou didn't let everyone get up immediately, and spoke softly, as if he was pulling a family routine with the concubines.
"King, my sisters are kneeling like this, the ground is cold, you!" Queen Yi Jiang smiled and reminded King Wu of Zhou.
"Oh, yes, yes, look at this king, you only know how to speak, the concubines quickly calm down!" King Wu of Zhou didn't know whether to let Yi Jiang sell a favor to the concubines, or if he really forgot that the concubines were still kneeling, he smiled, and quickly asked everyone to get up and give them a seat.
"The king has been in Phoenix Terrace, and the sisters are worried about it, so I made an appointment to come over today to say hello to you and the queen's sister." Mrs. Huagui got up, bowed, and said softly in a delicate voice.
"The king snubbed his concubines!" Zhang Liangke got up again and saluted, pouting and saying.
"The concubines are very concerned about you, this is the new year, and the little princesses and princes are also looking forward to you." Yan Qiongzhi also got up and said something on the scene.
One after another, all the concubines were gossiping, metaphorical, and straightforward, and they all expressed their longing to King Wu of Zhou.
In this case, if the king is not sick and young and rich, it should be a wonderful thing for a man to let such a group of beauties with warm fragrance nephrite and singing and dancing compete to express their lovesickness. But now, although King Wu of Zhou endured his cough and listened with a smile on his face, he was dying of old age, and he didn't feel the comfort of gentleness and wealth at all, and his lungs were like thousands of insects biting, which made him extremely painful.
"Good, good, good! It's not the king's fault, it's the king who should go to see you! King Wu of Zhou forcibly coughed and spoke to the concubines with a smile all the time.
"Today, it's also a concubine, the sisters are going to Yifeng Hall to celebrate the New Year, and they ate some corn wine, the concubine thinks, the queen entrusts the matter, and now the one will be done, and the princess and the prince sent a red New Year's bag, asking for an auspicious one, not thinking, but causing the sisters to miss the king and sister, no, it also disturbed the king's Qing Xiu, it is really the concubine." Yao Yufeng stood up, knelt down in the center of the hall, and said a long list of words, deliberately taking the responsibility on his head, in fact, he wanted to invite the assistant queen to manage the harem.
"Concubine Ai is really capable, after the New Year, the eldest prince should also enter the fiefdom, he has such an excellent mother as you, it is his blessing. Defu, give the royal lady a pair of gold beads, a gold silk horse, and send it to Yifeng Hall in a while. King Wu of Zhou instructed the father-in-law of Defu to give a reward, thought for a while, and said: "In addition, everywhere in the harem, a Dongzhu and a basket of snow shells will be rewarded to celebrate the New Year." After King Wu of Zhou said these words, his face turned red, and Yi Jiang had heard his gasping sound when he approached, and he hurriedly gave Defu a look.
"King, your dinner is going to be cold, do you want to keep some with all the mothers?" Father-in-law Defu was clever and immediately bowed down and said to King Wu of Zhou.
"The concubines thank the king and the queen for their reward, long live the king, long live, long live! Queen Chitose, Chitose, Chitose! The concubine retired. Yao Yufeng saw that King Wu of Zhou's face was full of red light, and he couldn't see any clues, and listened to the steward's public announcement that the king had dinner, so he had to get up and retreat.
Aunt Shan Yu sent the ladies to the bottom of the jade steps, Defu was clever, and hurriedly helped King Wu of Zhou to walk to the apse, Yi Jiang signaled the servants to close the wooden door of the main hall, just passed the two side halls, crossed the two thresholds, King Wu of Zhou coughed, he only felt that his throat and eyes were hot, and a fishy substance in the esophagus surged upward, "wow", a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then, King Wu of Zhou's body, like a cramped fish, fell softly to Defu's shoulder.
"King, King!" Yi Jiang lowered his voice and hurriedly called out to King Wu of Zhou, but King Wu of Zhou had already fainted.
"Lei Hong, quickly pass on Jizi back. All news is blocked, and no news is allowed to leak. Yi Jiang half-hugged King Wu of Zhou, tears glistened, and ordered the four Lei brothers who had been following behind him.
"Go, call Ji Mozi, the head of the department, and quickly go to the front study." After Yi Jiang finished the order, he kept holding King Wu of Zhou and refused to let go, Lei Xi carried King Wu of Zhou on his shoulder, went to the library of books, and put King Wu of Zhou on the soft couch.
The night was dark and the wind was high, and King Wu of Zhou was angry and in danger. In the Yifeng Palace, Yao Yufeng was holding two huge gold beads, and a strange sneer appeared on her face.
