Chapter 147: The Siege of the Palace

On the day of Mrs. Zheng's burial, the sky was clear, just like when she was alive - the sun was boundless.

Empress Shen was ordered by Ji Gongyan to stay in the East Palace to educate Yijiu, so he was not allowed to leave without permission, and now the funeral ceremony is also replaced by Bao Xi, leading the ladies of the harem, concubines, and wives...... A cadre of people to the earth for the peace of Mrs. Zheng to pay respect and blessings, the steps of the ceremony are complicated, a whole day finally came to an end, Bao Xi let the nurse temporarily take the Bofu away from her dormitory, now a major event is over, she can finally sit on the edge of the bed to rest for a while, looking out of the window Huachen Palace.

The next thing is how to deal with this murder and the murder case of Uncle Qin, there must be a reasonable ending!

Ji Gongyan has not yet circled the concubines who will replace Mrs. Zheng, and now the situation in the harem is a little incomprehensible to everyone.

Take off the white clothes, you have to change into red clothes, the funeral of the Zheng family is over, and now Twenty-seven will put on the new wedding dress and embark on the long road to Zheng Guo. She hesitated in front of the door of Bao Xi's bedroom, stretched out her hand and wanted to knock on Bao Xi's door, but she didn't dare, today's funeral ceremony, Bao Xi didn't look at Ji Gongyan from beginning to end, this subtle change was not noticeable to others, but Twenty-seven could feel it.

Twenty-seven's waiting for marriage made her feel extremely nervous, and the night she spent with Zheng Boyou, the two of them seemed to have reached some kind of contract, let go of all the barriers in their hearts, and calmly faced this unexpected marriage. This is something worth looking forward to for Twenty-seven, after all, Zheng Boyou is a good person, even if he doesn't love you, he will protect you with the greatest tenderness. But Ji Gongyan is not, Twenty-seven wants to talk to Bao Xi, but he feels that it doesn't seem appropriate.

"What's wrong?" Xiuxiu walked up to Twenty-Seven and asked as she looked at her strange appearance.

Twenty-seven turned to Xiuxiu, blinked his eyes, pursed his lips and smiled, pulled Xiuxiu's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Can you tell me about the Zheng family?" ”

"Are you looking for a mother to talk about this?" Xiuxiu pointed to the door of the dormitory, looked at Twenty-seven and asked, "Then why don't you knock on the door and go in?" You are now a princess by the king, and your mother and you are like sisters, and you go far to get married, she should also send you some blessings. There is nothing to ask about the affairs of the Zheng family, the eldest lady is no different from Uncle Zheng, and she has no heirs after giving birth to a son, and she has been looking forward to spreading branches and leaves for Zheng Bo's concubine. If you marry, she won't treat you badly, as long as you do your duty. ”

Twenty-seven pulled Xiuxiu and led her away from the door of the dormitory, "Can't you whisper this?" ”

"We're not saying anything unsightly!" Xiuxiu frowned puzzled, since the funeral ended, she moved to Qiongtai Palace, and from now on she will be a good person, going in and out of her left and right, and protecting her. Mrs. Zheng also explained this matter before her death, as if she had expected that she would die because of childbirth, Xiuxiu only regarded it as a woman's intuition.

"Can't you see that the mother and the king are quarrelling?" Twenty-seven looked at Xiuxiu and asked, "Now that Niangniang is unhappy because of the king, I still ask her about the wedding and ask her to give me blessings, obviously to poke her sore spots!" ”

"Quarrelsome?" Xiuxiu looked at Twenty-Seven a little puzzled, "I can't see it, wasn't it okay at the big ceremony just now?" ”

"What's alright?" Twenty-seven glared at Xiuxiu, "If there was no gap between Niangniang and the king, she wouldn't have avoided the king's eyes everywhere just now when she gave the ceremony, he looked at her, but she didn't look at him." You just came to Qiongtai Palace, you don't understand many things, Niangniang's personality is like this, most of the mood is pressed in the bottom of my heart and I don't want to tell others. If she doesn't say it, you have to ask, even if you can't ask, let her know that there are always people who care about her. ”

Xiuxiu pursed her lips, "Why is it so troublesome?" Mrs. Zheng has something to say directly, a bad mood is bad, a good mood is good, the mother doesn't laugh, she doesn't cry, who guesses? ”

Twenty-seven looked at Xiuxiu and felt very aggrieved, she had followed Bao Xi for so many years, and she was very clear about Bao Xi's words and deeds, but Xiuxiu was different, she was originally someone else's knowledge, and now she was pulled to a hard fortress for Bao Xi, and Bao Xi's character will definitely accommodate a lot. Twenty-seven suddenly took Xiuxiu's hand, looked at her and asked, "Why don't we go and ask the king, you marry me!" Shall I stay in the Qiongtai Hall for you? ”

"Don't toss, I don't want the king to be angry, so I will drag the two of us to the funeral of my wife." Xiuxiu glanced at Twenty-Seven and waved her hand, "Okay, okay, I'll take a look over there, you hurry up and prepare your affairs!" Now there are very few people who have the opportunity to marry princes or ministers of the court, and you are rarely lucky, so hurry up and go to Zhang Luo! It's always dangling in front of us, which is annoying. She snorted and turned back to the door of Bao Xi's dormitory, knocked lightly, Bao Xi raised her head and said, "Come in!" ”

"Mother?" Xiuxiu walked into the room and watched Bao Xi salute.

"Coming?" Bao Xi asked softly.

"Well, I just moved from Huachen Hall to see if Niangniang needs anything?" Xiuxiu said.

"You should rest early, the wedding of the twenty-seventh day after tomorrow, we will be busy tomorrow." Bao Xi said, waved her hand, signaling that Xiuxiu could go down, Xiuxiu followed Bao Xi's eyes and saw that it was the main hall of Huachen Palace, she didn't reply to Bao Xi's words, but said, "I didn't know that the dormitory of Qiongtai Hall was facing the main hall of Huachen Palace." ”

"In this way, even if the king is here, he can see that Mrs. Zheng is over there." Bao Xi stretched out his finger and pointed to the main hall opposite, the emotions in these words Xiuxiu couldn't be heard, but he was by no means happy.

"Maybe it can also be said the other way around, even if the king is in Huachen Palace, he can see Niangniang." Xiuxiu said.

Bao Xi looked at Xiuxiu and pursed her lips, "Twenty-seven is talking nonsense to you again, right?" ”

"Niangniang and Twenty-seven really have a heart-to-heart," Xiuxiu laughed and covered her mouth.

"Twenty-seven speaks openly, whatever comes to mind, don't worry about it," Bao Xi stood up and got off the bed and looked at Xiuxiu, "In the Qiongtai Palace, there is nothing to do Zhang Luo, just follow the previous way." ”

Xiuxiu looked at Bao Xi and shook her head, "Twenty-seven prepared a daily bamboo slip for me," she stretched out her hand to show Bao Xi, "It's so long," her arms were stretched out to the top and still trying to reach outward, which made Bao Xi's face soothe and shook her head slightly, "This Twenty-Seven!" ”

"How worried is Princess Twenty-Seven about me, she should go to the dining room every morning to get Niangniang's breakfast, she has to list which chefs to find, Niangniang's tastes, what breakfast she likes to eat, what topics to talk about with the chef, and what kind of work to instruct when she comes back, and what to say to which Dazaigong officials regularly and irregularly," Xiuxiu said and shook her head, "Twenty-seven's heart, I'm afraid that there is really no one in the harem." ”

"It's a little reluctant to marry her to Uncle Zheng," Bao Xi sighed, if it weren't for the situation, she would never have moved this thought, but now that she has reached this point, she can only pray for God's mercy.

"When I sent Mrs. Zheng to the palace, the housewife and the master also said that they were reluctant, and they were very distressed." Xiuxiu looked at Bao Xi and said, her expression was a little depressed, "Niangniang should also know what people outside think of the king, entering the palace is the same as going to Huangquan, everyone changes color when they hear it." Back then, Yu Shi's father relied on his power to ask the princes from all over the country to loot the local people, and offered a woman to the palace every year. The lord proposed that if anyone was willing to enter the palace, he would make up some money, so at the beginning, some women from poor families took the initiative to ask to enter the palace, but when they entered the palace, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there were fewer and fewer people coming. ”

"I had no choice but to send Mrs. Zheng into the palace?" Bao Xi asked.

Xiuxiu nodded, "The master and the mistress discussed, this matter can't go on in such a cycle, the second young master at that time said that he might as well send Mrs. Zheng into the palace, if the lady is favored, the Zheng family will be able to speak in the court in the future!" This matter was unanimously approved by the Zheng family, only the lord and the housewife were a little reluctant, and the red makeup of ten miles on the day of the lady's wedding was not spectacular, which made the rest of the Zheng family very envious, but as for Mrs. Zheng secretly wiping her tears on the sedan chair, only I know about this matter. ”

"Mrs. Zheng doesn't want to marry?" Bao Xi asked.

"Of course not!" Xiuxiu shook her head, "I'm afraid that if Niangniang hadn't been forced to do so, she wouldn't have been willing to enter the palace, right?" ”

Bao Xi didn't answer, just asked, "And then?" ”

Later, when she entered the palace, everything was the same as the second young master thought, Mrs. Zheng was favored, and since then, she has been overwhelmed by all the harem women, and everyone is envious. But Mrs. Zheng was terrified every night, because she found that she was in love with this king who was criticized by the world, and what was even more terrifying was that she found out about Concubine Rong, knowing that she and Concubine Rong looked very similar, and the king's favor for Mrs. Rong came from apologies to Concubine Rong. Madame has only one wish in this life, that is, she hopes that the king can treat her as herself, but it's a pity that ......" Xiuxiu shook her head, "She didn't wait until today until she died." ”

Bao Xi shook her head, "If I guessed correctly, it is the second young master who said that Mrs. Zheng is similar to Concubine Rong, right?" ”

Xiuxiu nodded, "The second young master comes to the pickaxe capital with the master every year to have fun with the king, and Mrs. Zheng is very favored, and she runs rampant in the harem every day." So the second young master came to pour this pot of cold water, and Mrs. Zheng woke up like a dream, and after several temptations to the king, she finally believed in this fact. ”

"Concubine Rong has never been an unscrupulous person, I am afraid that it is General Zheng who regards Mrs. Zheng as Concubine Rong, because she will not forget her aunt with a gentle personality and a good face, so she will be so dissatisfied with the flamboyant Mrs. Zheng." Bao Xi said to Xiuxiu, "Love is always the most clear thing for onlookers, maybe the king will soon let go of Mrs. Zheng, but when she is still alive, he is sincere to her." Even after death, the king will also put Mrs. Zheng in the underground palace of the back position, if the king is a hundred years, it is to be buried with Mrs. Zheng, he is willing to be in the same cave with her, and then marry her in the next life, and talk about the front edge. This true affection is commendable. ”

Xiuxiu blinked her eyes and almost cried, "I'm here to comfort my mother, why did I become my mother to comfort me?" ”

"One comforts another, and never compares anything worse." Bao Xi said.

"How can you comfort that?" Xiuxiu asked puzzled.

"In this world, there is only the truth, the most touching and emotional." Bao Xi's expression was flat, but there was a sense of relief, she remembered what Uncle Zhao said that day, her advantage was beyond ordinary patience, and she could just wait forever.
