Ji Gongyan took a hurried step, paused for a moment outside the gate of the East Palace, and looked at the clouds in the distance, big and big. He had his back to Madame Qin, so she didn't know whether his expression was gentle or cold at that time, and it was only a long time later that she heard a sentence come from him, "The matter of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, the widow has his own arrangements." ”
"No!" Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment, realized something, took two steps and caught up with Ji Gongyan who was standing in front of her, she grabbed his arm, looked at him and told him very solemnly, "Everyone else can do it, she can't!" ”
"It has to be her," Ji Gongyan turned to look at Mrs. Qin, there was no room for negotiation in his eyes, he just informed her of the result, not to discuss with her, he raised his head and gently stroked Mrs. Qin's cheek, and repeated in a very gentle tone, "It must be her." With that, he leaned down and kissed Mrs. Qin's lips gently, then let go of her with a smile.
"Don't forget, the ...... of the Baocheng family" Mrs. Qin blurted out, and before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Ji Gongyan, and the gentle tone that had just appeared on his face gradually cooled, "That's why it has to be her!" ”
Madam Qin frowned, turned her head and looked at the East Palace behind Shen Hou, Shen Hou and Bao Jue wanted to join forces, Bao Jue had an extremely strange personality, and his behavior did not take into account the feelings of the person concerned. For example, at the moment, Bao Jue is favored and replaced by other powerful ministers - even if it is Shen Hou, he will definitely make concessions to accept Ji Gongyan's title of marquis, but Bao Jue will not, if he thinks it is wrong, it must be wrong.
It is not a wise move to start from Bao Jue's side to break the dilemma that the Zhou Dynasty may face in the future, so Ji Gongyan's purpose may be to start with Shen Hou, so that Shen Hou and Bao Jue will have a bad relationship, so that Shen Hou will have a gap with Bao Jue, this is the only answer that Mrs. Qin can find for herself, she will definitely not believe that Ji Gongyan has even a little love for Bao Xi.
The sun rises from the east and gradually hangs high in the sky, noon is approaching little by little, Twenty-seven anxiously wandered outside the door of the Qiongtai Hall and never saw the people who came to deliver the decree, she stomped her feet anxiously and ran back to the palace of Bao Xi, "Why hasn't anyone come to deliver the decree, it's really urgent!" ”
"What are you anxious about?" Bao Xi looked at Twenty-Seven and asked.
"If the mother is not in a hurry, why should she get up early in the morning to change her clothes and bathe, and dress up?" Twenty-seven raised his eyebrows and looked at the insincere compliment, "There is nothing to do in my Qiongtai Hall in the Sacrifice to the Heavens, Mrs. has Mrs. work to do, concubines have concubine work, women have work of women, women have work of women, but we are nothing, naturally there is nothing!" In this way, Niangniang only has to rest in the Qiongtai Hall today, why is it necessary to prepare so much? ”
Bao Xi looked at Twenty-Seven and shook his head, but he didn't explain, just asked, "Did Shenhou come to the pickaxe capital?" ”
"I heard that no," Twenty-Seven shook his head, "I only sent a doctor to Hojing to pay tribute and pay homage to the king, so no one wants to come back to Hojing after leaving, right?" ”
"Where's Uncle Qin?" Bao Xi asked again.
"No," Twenty-Seven shook his head, "I said it would only arrive at noon, and the shelf was big!" Now that the State of Qi and Dongyi are at war, the king definitely doesn't want the dog Rong to attack my Great Zhou from the west again, and the State of Qin lives in a fortress, so it is rare to put on a show, and also to save some face for the lady of Qin, who is not favored by all the organs. ”
Bao Xi nodded, the current situation is a bit complicated, that day Ji Gongyan told her what Bao Jue did today, her heart was as cold as water, and she had a desperate mood about her situation, in her mind and in front of her eyes was a fog, not only did she not want to see anything but also couldn't see anything clearly. Now that the whole person has calmed down and sobered up, and then recalling everything Ji Gongyu said that day, it is inevitable that there will be some suspicions.
He knows his father's character very well, if he says that Bao Jue does not recognize her as a daughter and allows others to impeach and frame, it is impossible, but if Bao Jue collaborates with the enemy and treason, and the matter falls into contradictions, in that case, why should he have a bad relationship with Bao Jue and dislike her for causing trouble to the country and interfering in politics? The only explanation is that Ji Gongyan, who received the news, was deceived by others, and the only person who deceived him was this relied on Qin Bo.
What does Qin Bo want to do like this? After thinking about it, there is probably only one purpose to correct Mrs. Qin, but Mrs. Qin has not come out so far, so she has achieved the latter position...... Bao Xi's heart twitched violently, and she felt pain for a while, she covered her heart, her brows tightened.
"Long live my king!" The people outside the door shouted, completely disrupting Bao Xi's thoughts and Twenty-seven's words, Twenty-seven's expression rose, and he became brisk, turned his head to look outside the door and looked at Bao Xi again, "I just thought that the king would send someone to announce the decree, who would have thought that he would come by himself?" After that, she jumped up and opened the door of the dormitory, and after a while, she saw Ji Gongyan striding over, and he seemed to have lost some weight after not seeing him for a few days, and he showed an indescribable fatigue all over his body. ”
"Let's go down!" Ji Gongyan waved his hand and walked straight towards Bao Xi.
Bao Xi reclined on the side of the bed, the whole person has been cleaned up and looked at the lotus pond outside the window, the lotus leaves are gradually withering and turning into dry yellow in autumn, a lake has become a huge piece of jasper, the Huachen Hall on the opposite side is now without Mrs. Zheng, too many things have happened in this year, from life to death and from death to life, it is a kind of luck to be able to usher in the end of the year.
Ji Gongyan was also taken aback when he saw Bao Xi, he thought that according to Bao Xi's temperament, he must be without powder and plain today, so he came a little earlier, and there was an hour before noon, and he came a little earlier because he was worried that Bao Xi had not yet dressed up, "This is not like you." ”
Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyan, "When I got up in the morning, I felt panicked, and I always felt like something big was going to happen." ”
"So you put on your dress and put on your makeup?" Ji Gongyan asked, he found that today's Bao Xi did not pay homage, which was different from the past.
"Well," Bao replied softly, "I'm afraid I'll use it." ”
"Shenhou is sick," Ji Gongyu said.
"I just told you about it." Bao Xi replied, walking towards Ji Gongyan from the side of the bed, he hadn't seen him for three days, and the fatigue on his body was clearly visible, "You look tired." ”
Ji Gongyan pinched the bridge of his nose, "It's like this at the end of the year, the princes have too many things!" There was some dissatisfaction in his tone, "According to the old system of the Zhou Dynasty, the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens was presided over by the widow and the queen, and now that Empress Shen is sick, her position has to be replaced." ”
"Empress Shen is sick, so naturally there will be a lady instead." Bao Xi said, help Ji Gongyan sort out the clothes on his body, his clothes are very untidy, if he goes out of Qiongtai Hall with such a big belly, I am afraid that people have a new rhetoric.
"If it doesn't agree, the ladies naturally have their own affairs." Ji Gong said.
"If it doesn't agree with reason, what does it matter to the king?" Bao Xi looked up at Ji Gongyan and asked, her hand was grabbed by Ji Gongyan, he exerted some strength to make her feel a little painful, she frowned and looked at Ji Gongyan, he said, "The widow is not here to ask for your opinion, and you don't need to express any opinion on this matter!" ”
"You should ask," Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyan, and her tone was as slow as ever, "Mrs. Qin participates in the work of the sacrifice, I can do it for her, but the heavy soldiers of the Qin State behind her, there is no lady and concubine in the entire Zhou Dynasty who can replace it, why does Uncle Qin refuse to give this face king?" ”
"Impossible!" Ji Gongyan roared.
"The king doesn't want Uncle Qin to attack the capital at this moment, right?" Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyan and asked, "If he wants to save face, he will give it to him, it can be worth a few dollars, it is nothing more than a breath in your heart, power is like this, if you want to take it first, you must give it first." Qin Bo refused to send troops to the Qi country on the occasion of Shenhou's treason with my father's collaboration with the enemy, and even stepped on the time of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony to go to the capital city, maybe next year today he will refuse to come to participate in the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony for more serious reasons, or even ...... Refuse to pay the New Year's tribute, and at that time, everything will be in water. ”
"The widow doesn't need you to tell the widow how to do it, all you have to do is to be obedient and do what the widow says." Ji Gongyan grabbed Bao Xi's neck and whispered in her ear, and Bao Xi also whispered in his ear, "The king is too good-looking." ”
"Then do you give it or not?" Ji Gongyan caressed Bao Xi's cheeks, a rare smile appeared in his eyes, kissed Bao Xi's lips, probed the tip of her tongue, stroked her waist, pinched her waist, and slowly stroked upwards, she actually had a feeling of love for her, Bao Xi's hand against Ji Gongyan's chest, gently pushed him away some distance, and looked up at the wayward king in the crook of his arm, "Great King, the time to worship the heavens is almost here." ”
"Why tell them to wait?" Ji Gongyan looked at Bao Xi and asked, then leaned down and sucked her lips and tongue deeply, holding her tightly in his arms, he had lost her for too long, and now that he finally found her back, he was more and more reluctant to let go.
The crowd of Wuyang and Wuyang on the Sacrificial Square, the princes and scholars from the vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty gathered here, filling the entire flat land, the Temple of Heaven is located in the center of the square, leaving a path on the way from the royal court to the Temple of Heaven, the black robes on the body of Ji Gongyan and Bao Xi are embroidered with gold threads, which are very appropriate and reveal a bit of royal atmosphere, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are in an uproar, although they have long guessed that the person who replaces Empress Shen is probably the most favored Bao Xi today, and I really feel a little surprised to witness it with my own eyes at this moment.
The minister standing next to Uncle Zhao arched his hand to Uncle Zhao and said, "Congratulations to Lord Shangqing, Niangniang is now favored and favored, I'm afraid that I ......" He lowered his voice halfway, "I'm afraid that in the future, the position of my queen of the Great Zhou will definitely be owned by Niangniang." ”
"It's nonsense to summon the princess," Uncle Zhao said lightly, "Now that the king is looking for Bao Xi to replace Empress Shen, it is just because the ladies perform their duties and this matter happened suddenly, so he made this expedient measure." He said that after leaving the court, he looked at Qin Boying's face, he had just arrived in the capital of Hao, and went to the front hall to pay homage but was informed that the king was in the Qiongtai Hall at the moment, and he thought that his daughter who fell ill after Shen Hou fell ill was undoubtedly the best substitute, but what he saw at this moment was still this prestigious Bao Xi standing on the side of Ji Gongyan, her face was solemn, and her gestures were full of infinite majesty, like a queen and a king standing side by side.
