After dinner in Yifeng Palace, all the concubines took advantage of the wine and went to Phoenix Terrace together.

"Niangniang, this wine, should it be ......" Seeing that everyone dispersed, only the master Yao Yufeng and himself were left in the main hall, Chun Gui'er whispered to Duan Ji.

"There's no problem, the corn wine is mixed with osmanthus nectar, just to help the fun, prick their too gentle nerves, and add excitement to the Phoenix Terrace. All right! Yao Yufeng smiled and said quietly.

After spilling a little wine on the collar and wiping some on her lips, Yao Yufeng put on a mink robe, took Chun Gui'er, Zao Qing, and Zao Hong, and also went out of Yifeng Palace.

Yao Yufeng walked slowly, admiring the winter dusk in the palace.

In the past, after dinner, it was dark, and today's dinner was an hour in advance, at this time, the sky will be dark, and there are silky snowflakes floating in the air from time to time. The top of the tall and low temple was covered with thick snow, like a thick white velvet blanket, covering the buildings tightly, so that the whole building was like a good dog and bear, squatting there motionless. The eaves were hung with shiny ice picks, and the busy slaves and maids were thickly dressed, bent over their waists, and hurried to and fro, looking a little like bears moving in the forest from a distance.

In the past days, Duan Ji has never been like today, leisurely, strolling, and calmly going to Phoenix Terrace. Today, Yao Yufeng is very relaxed, she is not in a hurry, she walks very slowly. Slowly, slowly, she stopped three times and walked towards the Phoenix Terrace. While admiring the snow scene, she paced slowly, she smiled meaningfully, although Yifeng Hall and Phoenix Terrace are only a foot away, but every time she goes to Phoenix Terrace, it takes a long, long time.

Why has he been in business for so many years, and the Yao clan has put so much effort into it, but he can't become the master of Phoenix Terrace, and everything has come to naught?

Yao Yufeng sneered as she walked, thinking sadly.

Thinking of his father and brother's bloody battlefield, and the sacrifice of so many strong men of the Yao clan, the tears in Yao Yufeng's eyes swirled. She felt that it was not worth it, and she was unwilling in her heart, how much she wanted time to start all over again, if she did it again, she would never be like this, and all the results would be reversed.

Chun Gui'er, Zaoqing and Zaohong, who followed behind him, seemed to also understand the desolate mood of the master, and silently followed behind him, the master is fast, they are fast, the master is slow, they are also slow.

Yao Yufeng is not in a hurry, so many concubines have gone to Phoenix Terrace, there is no shortage of her, not to mention that she manages all the affairs of the harem on behalf of the queen, everyone has gone, the play has already begun, and Phoenix Terrace should have been lively.

"Meet the king and queen, the concubines miss it very much, and I have come to say hello today!" Madame Huagui took the lead, and as soon as she finished climbing the jade steps, she shouted loudly. As soon as the words fell, she knelt on the thick cushion outside the gate of Phoenix Terrace, looking carried away.

Mrs. Huagui took the lead, and the concubines who came up one after another also knelt outside the gate, shouting words of peace in their mouths.

"King! Concubines, concubines miss you so much, it's been so long, you, you're only in Phoenix Terrace, never go to other sisters, king! You, you're so ruthless! Zhang Liangke of the New Jade Pavilion knelt at the door of the Phoenix Terrace and shouted loudly.

Today, the strength of corn wine is flushed with the help of osmanthus nectar, and the twenty-eight-year-old female concubine naturally ate two more cups, and then let go of the skeleton.

As Yao Yufeng expected, after the concubines drank corn wine, their speech and demeanor seemed to be a little uncontrollable.

"Ladies don't be impatient, the king sacrifices to the first king in the library of books, and the queen is on the side to assist the priests, and has not been summoned, the ladies don't need to come to ask for peace, everyone should go back!" King Wu of Zhou's personal temple man Defu Gonggong came out to answer, and replied respectfully.

"The king and queen are also ruthless, why haven't you summoned the sisters for so long, is there anything to be seen here? I—I have to go! Li Qiao'er of Xian Yage stood up, and while talking loudly, he was about to break into the Phoenix Terrace.

"Sister can't, all the sisters are here to ask the queen's sister and the king to say goodbye, I will definitely be able to see the queen and the queen, my sister should be restless." Concubine Rong persuaded behind her and grabbed her.

"It's so cold, you guys want to kneel, I'm going in!" Li Qiao'er didn't know where this force came from, and before she finished speaking, she slammed into the door.

"Ouch, I'm talking about this, what's going on?" The steward's father-in-law, Defu, was in a hurry, and quickly asked a few small temple people to hold Li Qiao'er up, and said sharply, "The queen will be here in a while, what's wrong with all the ladies today?" ”

King Wu of Zhou was still asleep, and Queen Yi Jiang had to feed him medicine himself at dusk, serve him to lie down, warm his back with hot hemp, and soak his feet in hot water. King Wu of Zhou, under the careful care of Queen Yi Jiang, coughed and wheezed no longer as bad as a few days ago, and his vomiting of blood had improved.

"Queen, queen, queen!" Qiu Yue, the personal vertical in the queen's palace, hurriedly came from the outside to the front study, calling the queen in her mouth.

"Auntie, there are many ladies outside the palace, clamoring to see the queen and the king." As soon as Qiu Yue arrived at the door of the front study, she was stopped by Shan Yu, and Qiu Yue had to whisper to Shan Yu.

"I know, you go out first, open the door of the main hall, welcome the ladies in and sit down, cook tea, take pastries, let Father-in-law Defu greet him first, and the queen will be there in a while." Aunt Shan Yu seemed to have expected it, and she was very calm, and arranged for Qiu Yue to go out first.

"Whoa." After Qiu Yue received the order, he hurried out.

"They're still here." After Qiuyue went out, the queen came out of the library and saw Shan Yu standing hesitantly under the eaves of the porch, smiling and whispering.

"Yes, as you might expect, mother, slaves and maids, let them sit for a while and go back." Shan Yu inquired, and his uneasy expression was overflowing.

"No, since they're here, they won't go back easily." Yi Jiang was very calm and said without hurry.

For more than ten days in a row, the queen had not slept endlessly, the wrinkles on her slightly chubby face were much deeper than before, and her tired face and eyes protruded on her fair face. She was very calm, not at all surprised, nor agitated, but only lightly stated her judgment.

"The king has just slept peacefully, and he can't be woken up, so let Lei Wu and them stay by his side. Let's go, let's go out. The queen lightly instructed Shan Yu a few words, and then went out.

"Meet the Queen." As soon as Yi Jiang appeared, there was a cry in the hall.

"My sisters, I have a heart." Yi Jiang sat down on the main seat, stretched out his hand to invite the concubines to get up, smiled and spoke gently, very demure.

"My sister thinks badly about my sisters!" Mrs. Huagui said loudly, "My sister favors the harem, the mother is the world, this huge harem, there are many sisters, and the new year is approaching, how can the king alienate the concubines like this?" Mrs. Huagui looked fearless and said loudly.

"My sister is too worried." The queen sat firmly on the phoenix chair and said, "The king thinks about all the people, and the new year is coming, so I will sacrifice to the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods, and bless the prosperity of all the people." The new year is approaching, sacrifice to the ancestor king, study the method of gossip diligently, and pray that the first king will bless my Great Zhou. Every morning and dusk, is it possible for my sister to disapprove of the king's move? The queen said with a calm expression and a smile on her face.

Yi Jiang calmed down Ruolan's anger and immediately suppressed Mrs. Huagui's provocative words.

"That being said, the king is not the queen alone, and I think it is inappropriate for me to wait for King Mu Shengming to enter the palace for a few days, and then guard the new jade pavilion alone." The lover Qiao Jia'er twisted her body and walked to the center of the hall, no matter where she was, and said loudly, "Sisters, you say, yes and no? ”

"Haha, haha!" Qiao Jia'er laughed while talking, a drunken state, regardless of whether she lost her manners or not, she looked completely drunk.

"Qiao Liangren, sit down, you're drunk." Concubine Hui hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and persuaded.

Concubine Hui helped Qiao Jia'er sit down, and said softly to the queen, "Sister, don't blame, she was greedy today and drank more." As he spoke, he grabbed Qiao Jia'er and held her down, preventing her from getting up.

"Alas, although the words are a little indecent, they make people sad, don't they?" Xian Yage Li Qiao'er also stood up, staggered forward, looked at the queen and said, "Sister Queen is selfish, where is the king, where is he, it's dark this day, why, why don't you see a figure?" Li Qiao'er couldn't speak, and sat crookedly on the ground as she spoke, a handful of snot and tears, she shed tears, and shouted loudly, "In vain, I love the good name of the king, and I came to see you today, woo woo, but you avoided it?" ”

This Li Qiao'er sat in the main hall, regardless of proportion, but seemed to be more drunk than Qiao Jia'er, and screamed loudly. She was crying and pulling her robe, looking very ugly.

"What kind of system does it become if she loses her honor in front of the queen?" It was here that a coquettish cry came from outside the hall. Just when everyone was at a loss for a while, Mrs. Wang Gui Duanji came in from outside the palace.

"Lift her up, don't lose her dignity in front of the queen." Duan Ji ordered Zaoqing and Zaohong to help Li Qiao'er, immediately bowed down, and kowtowed very respectfully and shouted, "The concubine asks my sister for peace, my sister is blessed and safe!" ”

"Sister doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly." The queen's tone remained indifferent, she only stretched out her hand, motioned for Duan Ji to get up and gave her a seat.

"Sister, don't blame, this 。。。。。。 Ay! It's all to blame on the concubines. Today, the sisters of the harem are going to come to Yifeng Hall to celebrate the New Year, the concubines are thinking, the cold winter is long, the long days are lonely, everyone wants to have fun, and let the cook make a few small dishes, take out the newly brewed corn wine, not to think, the sisters are in good spirits, pour wine and get drunk, hey, sister queen, you punish me! Duan Ji spoke softly, and the responsibility was completely wiped out with a few words.

"Sister, don't blame yourself, this palace accompanies the king to sacrifice to the first king, to bless the people, this can't get away, you have worked hard, gather all the sisters to celebrate the New Year, think about it, how to blame?" The queen understated her words, not only did not blame Yao Yufeng, but praised her verbally.

"You little hooves, you are not careful, today in front of the queen of the deceit, according to the law, will be executed, come, Li Qiaoer, Qiao Jiaer, Zhang Liangke misbehaved, in front of the queen lost their manners, each palm mouth ten, to respect the family law." Duan Ji wanted to punish the three new sons who entered the palace, and in the queen's palace, she didn't care about anything at all, and planned to let Chun Gui'er have the right to punish a few on the spot.

"Niangniang, woo, woo, we also miss the king, and we want to come to see the king, but why doesn't the king come out? Why? While Qiao Jia'er knelt in front of Duan Ji and begged for forgiveness, she also mentioned the king, crying and screaming, and the other two lovers also cried, and the palace was suddenly in chaos.

"Yes, Wang Guiniang, this punishment is not necessary!" Madame Huagui suddenly stepped forward, bowed down to the queen, and said loudly, "Why didn't the king come out to see us, it's been so long, is it ......?" Madame Huagui only said half of her words, and then stopped talking.

"Please be gracious to the Queen!" Rong Concubine, Hui Concubine, Mrs. Zi, Hong Fu
