Chapter 468: Is a Widow a Superficial Man?
The noise recedes, and the bustling quiet is the most lonely, Bao Xi leaned on the top of the main hall, lying on this couch with one hand supporting her jaw, looking at the cold and messy cups and plates in the East Palace, and now she is in a high position, and now the admiration of thousands of people is painted by Ji Gongyan for her, which feels like a flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, and it is also real and illusory. When the moon was in the sky, the autumn wind was blowing, and the time had fallen into the night, everyone came to report to Bao Xi, "Niangniang, everyone has dispersed, and the hall has been cleaned!" β
"Go to sleep!" Bao Xi waved her hand and sighed.
"Niangniang...... "Niang Niang" Xiren looked at Bao Xi and asked, "Are you still waiting for the king?" β
Bao Xi shook her head and stood up, "The palace will go back to the dormitory first, you don't have to go to the morning tomorrow morning, you can prepare later." β
"Yes!" Xiren saluted, retreated to the side, and watched Bao Xi drag her tired body, dragging the white dress on her body lazily towards the direction of the dormitory, before leaving the main hall, she heard the voice of the person outside the door, and bowed outside the door, "See the king!" β
Bao Xi paused and turned to the door, Ji Gongyan was walking quickly in her direction, dusty, tired, he saw Bao Xi from afar, sped up his steps, stepped forward and pulled up the long skirt on her body for her, with a look of pity, "It seems to be thin again?" β
"Maybe the clothes are a little loose." Bao Xi said.
"Nonsense," Ji Gongyan glared at Bao Xi, "This dress is there, can you still say that it is loose and loose, and it is tight?" He stretched out his hand and pinched Bao Xi's cheek, "I haven't even had some meat recently, just leave the trivial things to the next person to take care of, there are Nian'er and widows in the big and small affairs of the court, and it is important for you to take care of your body." β
"The concubine is fine." Bao Xi said.
"The people from the Tai Hospital have already sued the widow a few times," Ji Gongyan lightly nodded the tip of Bao Xi's nose, stretched out his hand to take her in his arms and walked in the direction of the dormitory, "Say that you have a few pulses, your body is a little weak, you have to make up for it, why don't you tell the widow?" β
"This body is a little weak, and the words that have to be made up are inevitably a little too broad," Bao Xi snuggled up to Ji Gongyan's side and said, "There is nothing wrong with the concubine, the people in the hospital scare the king, the king doesn't have to take it to heart." She raised her eyes and looked at Ji Gongyan and asked, "Didn't the king come to visit the East Palace after hearing from the people in the Tai Hospital talk about the concubine's physical discomfort?" β
Ji Gongyan took a breath, "Why does it sound like a widow rarely comes to the East Palace?" You have to find a reason to come back, isn't this a widow's home? β
"The concubines are just worried that the king has been busy with government affairs recently, after all, the princes who are far away are preparing to leave Beijing." Bao Xi said with a smile.
"It's just that I'm busy with government affairs, so I want to come to the East Palace for a walk," Ji Gongyan pushed open the door of the dormitory, stepped in, turned around and watched Bao Xi step in, and closed the door again, "I can come back here more or less, I don't have to worry about government affairs all the time, those trivial things are not big, but they are really annoying!" He pinched his head, sat down on the bed, walked to the side, picked up the teapot from the table and poured a glass of water, turned around and walked to Ji Gongyan to say that the teacup was handed to him, and then squatted down and lay on Ji Gongyan's knees, "The king should pay attention to his body, and the small things should be handed over to the two secretaries, and the big things will be taken up by themselves." β
"No matter how big or small!" Ji Gongyan sighed, drank all the tea in the cup, pinched the empty cup with one hand, and touched Bao Xi's hair with the other, "The East Palace dinner was just originally wanted to take the time to participate, but I really can't spare this time, how about it?" Nothing went wrong, did it? β
"What's going on?" Bao Xi laughed eating, stood up and took the empty cup in his hand, turned back to the table, lifted the teapot and looked at Ji Gongyan, Ji Gongyan waved his hand, Bao Xi put down the teapot and teacup again and walked to the side of the basin, soaked the handkerchief and handed it to Ji Gongyan, Ji Gongyu wiped his face in a sigh, and returned the handil to Bao Xi, "Dutu's fiancΓ©e has already met?" β
"I've seen it, my name is Jiang Wan." Bao Xi said.
"How?" Ji Gongyu asked.
Bao Xi shook her head.
"Indeed...... Isn't it worthy of digging out? Ji Gongyan's eyebrows were gathered together, and he had previously mentioned the rumors about the prince of Qi from Qi Bo's close courtiers, and Bao Xi called Ji Gongyan Mo anxious, and she was allowed to inquire about this matter, so this year set up an East Palace dinner, at which Jiang Wan made herself exquisite with a pair of sharp teeth, and many wives, concubines and officials came to make peace with her, Jiang Wan returned the salute one by one, the whole person was polite, and she was by no means a willful and reckless rude, and it could be seen from Mrs. Qi Bo's eyes, She has long been accustomed to her daughter's demeanor, and she is not here to show her today.
Bao Xi shook her head again, "I'm afraid that the future of this digging will not be easy, it's really a ruthless character." β
"A character who is more ruthless than you?" Ji Gongyan stood up and untied the pocket on his body, Bao Xi put down the handkerchief in his hand, turned around to take off the cold clothes on his body, glanced at Ji Gongyan and shook his head helplessly, "The concubine didn't joke with the king. β
Ji Gongyan hugged Bao Xi's waist, untied her clothes for her, rubbed her nose against Bao Xi's cheek with a smile, and kissed her neck, "The widow didn't joke with you, the little girl is young, move your heart, you can spy at a glance, is she ruthless or you are smart?" He said that he hugged Bao Xi on the couch and pressed her under him, and he couldn't wait, "Digging has its own blessings, if a man can't even tame his own woman, how can he be in charge of a piece of land?" He untied the dress on Bao Xi's body, "If you can do this, it is enough, and you don't have to worry about the rest, whether this marriage is evil or auspicious, you and I can't help it." β
Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyan and nodded, and she only hoped that Di Tu and Jiang Wan could really get along for a hundred years and respect each other like guests, she put her head on his chest and said softly, "The concubine just thought of Qi Bo's daughter who was preparing to enter the palace back then, if she was asked to enter the palace, with such a smart attitude and a graceful demeanor, I am afraid that the king will fall in love at first sight." β
"If a widow loves you, will he love your wisdom and beauty?" Ji Gongyan frowned slightly, "How can a widow be so superficial?" You're still too idle in the East Palace to have this cranky mood! As he spoke, he kissed Bao Xi's lips and tongue, and pulled up the brocade quilt on the side to cover the two of them, and the quiet night seemed quieter and quieter at this moment, empty and long.
Jiang Wan's marriage with Dutu, just a few days later, Xiuxiu's injuries had recovered most of the time, and after she was able to get up, she immediately went to Bao Xi's bedroom to pay homage to Bao Xi. There were brocade boxes on the table in the dormitory, and when she heard a knock on the door, she closed the brocade boxes one by one and said, "Come in." β
Xiuxiu pushed open the door, stepped in in a long aqua red dress, saluted Bao Xi sitting in front of the table, and said softly, "See Niangniang." β
"Close the door!" Bao Xi said.
"Yes!" Xiuxiu turned around and closed the door, and took a few more steps towards Bao Xi, "Xiuxiu's body has recovered most of it, and she made a special trip to greet Niangniang." β
"Okay, almost?" Bao Xi stood up and walked towards Xiuxiu, turned around her twice, and nodded slightly, "The complexion is still a little bad, this hurts the muscles and bones, I'm afraid it will take some time to recover." β
"Thanks to my mother's concern, it's no longer a problem." Xiuxiu responded.
"Are you okay?" Bao Xi carefully stared at Xiuxiu's eyes, Xiuxiu's face was shy, step by step backwards, the deer in her heart bumped into each other, I don't know how many meanings are in Bao Xi's meaningful words, I lowered my head and didn't know how to deal with it, Bao Xi patted Xiuxiu's shoulder, and turned around and walked towards his desk, "The injury on the body is no matter how serious it is, and it is good and fast, but the injury in the heart is difficult to heal no matter how light it is." Tomorrow is the big wedding of Dutu, do you want to meet him tonight? β
Xiuxiu shook her head, "Xiuxiu knows that she is wrong. β
"You're not wrong," Bao Xi said, pushing the brocade box in front of her to Xiuxiu one by one, "These are some medicines that nourish the body, you take them and eat them, and the injuries on your body will heal faster." β
"Xiuxiu didn't dare to accept it." Xiuxiu said, "Thanks to Niangniang's memory, Xiuxiu's skin is rough and thick, and her body recovers quickly, so she doesn't need these precious medicinal materials to nourish, so Niangniang still keeps it by her side, right?" In autumn and winter, it is inevitable that there will be some wind chill, and eating more can always resist this cold weather. β
"As long as it is the lady in the palace, each is very noble, this palace is the head of the harem, it is within the duty of the king to take care of these people, if you are so polite as me, this palace can use the identity of the lord of the East Palace to suppress you, you are the size of the female queen in my palace, even if you are out of the East Palace, you are a lady, and you have to listen to the arrangements of the palace, right?" Bao Xi looked at Xiuxiu and asked, which made Xiuxiu speechless and lowered her head.
"If you don't accept it, I have to ask someone to boil the soup and send it to your palace every day." Bao Xi looked at Xiuxiu and said, Xiuxiu suddenly raised her head when she heard this, and shook her head vigorously, "Xiuxiu doesn't dare to bother Niangniang, I'll take it!" β
"When did you become so polite to me?" Bao Xi asked.
"Being in the East Palace, every word and deed, the entire harem is staring, Xiuxiu doesn't want to be talked about, he is just a well-known person, it doesn't matter, and no one is staring, but now after all, she is the queen of the princess, Xiuxiu doesn't dare to rely on the friendship with the mother anymore and loses her courtesy." Xiuxiu replied, and her heart was inexplicably stunned, this person's friendship with people was how strong he once thought, and it will always change after a long time, the world is impermanent, and it is probably so helpless.
