Bao Hongde's expression flickered a little, and she didn't dare to look directly at Bao Xi's gaze, which made Bao Xi feel that her guess was probably not far from ten, her hand was very stiff on the table, and she looked at Bao Hongde and said again, "What did he say?" ”

"Father said," Bao Hongde's tone was staggering, "you are forming a party for personal gain, controlling the government and government, and confusing the world." If you want me to resign after entering the palace no matter what, and return to Baocheng, I must not ......" His words paused at this point, speculating on Bao Xi's emotions, and he didn't know whether to say the rest of the words or not?

"What must not be?" Bao Xi asked.

"You must not help the abuse of ......" Bao Hongde's eyes drooped, and he didn't dare to stare at Bao Xi anymore, Bao Xi's heart was like being stabbed heavily, thinking that he should know his father best, but now he made such an evaluation of himself. She asked herself, don't feel sorry for this country and the people of the world with her words and deeds, but now that she is notorious, the Bao family has become the person in the world who wants to put her to death, and she calmed down for a long time before she spoke, and she couldn't hear the slightest wave in her tone, "Your entry into the palace on an errand has nothing to do with me, it was your uncle who recommended you to the king, and my brother doesn't have to worry about the anger of others, if you insist on resigning......"

"I've never worried about these things!" Bao Hongde hurriedly explained, "I'm just worried about you, if I say a lot to you today, I'm just afraid that these will not be good for you in the future!" ”

Bao Xi sighed softly, looking a little helpless, "Uncle Qin ...... you entered the palace" She said and paused, "It should be said that it is the Marquis of Qin, what did he say?" ”

Bao Hongde immediately smiled, "What does it have to do with him when I enter the palace?" With that, he unnaturally tugged at the placket of his shirt, put on a serious expression to Bao Xi, and then smiled reluctantly.

Bao Xi didn't say any more, but just asked, "Baocheng belongs to the Qin State, no matter what, you should go to Youyang Palace to greet Mrs. Qin, right?" ”

"This should be," said Bao Hongde.

Bao Xi nodded, stood up and called Xiuxiu outside the door in, "Send my brother to Youyang Palace, and then go back to the house, let's rest early today." Although the court doesn't open the morning court now, but the affairs of Dazaigong always have to be dealt with, and my brother has a tired journey and rests early. She said and waved her hand at Bao Hongde, the long hem of her clothes fluttered, there was an indescribable majesty, she stood very straight, making people feel that they needed to look up, Bao Hongde wanted to talk to Bao Hongde again, but now it all seemed to be so out of place.

Xiuxiu turned to Bao Hongde and looked at him, and Bao Hongde said, "I'll see you and Nian'er another day." ”

Bao Xi nodded, looking at Bao Hongde who was out of the palace, she turned around and turned back to her bedroom, propped up the window with a thin wooden pole, she lay on the side of the bed and looked at the lotus pond outside, irrepressible tears fell one by one, and her eyelashes soon became frosty, very uncomfortable. She didn't seem to feel it at all, just looked into the distance so distractedly, in the summer of this year, he also jumped into the water to pick the lotus flower for Mrs. Zheng, came out of the water and ran towards the Huachen Hall with a wet body, the whole person looked so brisk, in a blink of an eye, there was no Mrs. Zheng in the Huachen Palace, and there was no king in the palace, leaving her alone to bear the burden of a daughter, but no one was willing to share it.

"When the hell are you going to come back?" Bao Xi sobbed quietly, she had not heard from Ji Gong Yan for a long time, all she heard from Dazaigong was military information, except for the daily march and food and grass, there was no other news, and she had never asked someone to bring a word to Bao Xi.

Bao Xi hugged herself tightly, this was the only comfort she could give herself.

The end of the year is approaching, and this year is destined to not be easy.

The sky was getting darker, and the north wind was blowing colder and colder and filling the whole room, so Bao Xi reached out to close the window, wiped the tears on her face, washed and applied a little powder, and covered her red and swollen eyes.

Someone came in and asked when Bao Xi was going to eat?

Bao Xi turned to look out the door, "Is Xiuxiu back?" ”

Xiren shook his head, "Sister Xiuxiu hasn't come back yet, she ordered us to remind Niang Niang to eat when she went out in the afternoon." ”

"Wait for her, right?" Bao Xi said, walking towards the outside of the house.

Xiren nodded, "Do you want me to send someone to take a look?" ”

"It's okay," Bao Xi shook her head, "I should be back soon." ”

It is impossible for Bao Hongde to stay too late in Dazaigu, and Xiuxiu should already be on his way back at this moment. Sure enough, not long after, she stepped into the door of the Qiongtai Palace, and the people in the front hall told Xiuxiu Niangniang to wait for her to eat together in the back hall.

"Didn't you say that you wanted to remind the mother to eat on time?" Xiuxiu took off the cloak on her body as she spoke, and her body was still cold, and her face was red from the cold.

"Niang Niang said to wait for you!" The man replied.

"Got it," Xiuxiu hurriedly walked towards the back hall, the house was lit with charcoal fire, emitting a scorching temperature, "Niangniang is not in good health, and it will be uncomfortable if you don't have to eat again." ”

"I'm not so squeamish," Bao Xi said softly, "I'm not in a hurry for this moment, not to mention that there is no one to dine with me, and it is not interesting to be alone." She sighed.

Xiuxiu carefully looked at the complimentary expression, "Niang Niang is crying? ”

Bao Xi pursed her lips and shook her head.

"Don't lie to me," Xiuxiu sat down opposite Bao Xi and sandwiched the food into her bowl, "Now that Bao Gongzi has entered Beijing, is Niangniang homesick?" ”

Bao Xi shook her head.

"That's thinking about the king again," Xiuxiu said with a smile, "The king has been going for more than a month, right?" It should have also arrived in the Qi country, I'm afraid that the two armies will fight soon, right? ”

"Now that I have lost the opportunity, I'm afraid I can't afford a moment's delay!" Bao Xi nodded, picked up a chopstick and stuffed the food into his mouth, "Why did you come back so late?" ”

"Mr. Bao seems to have something to report to Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Qin told me to go down, and I found an opportunity to go back secretly." Xiuxiu looked at Bao Xi and said, "I don't hear it very clearly, but one thing should be right, Qin Hou transferred part of his troops to the vicinity of Baocheng." Mrs. Qin and Bao Gongzi are discussing how to go back as soon as possible, and elect another Qin general to take up the position of Bao Gongzi to strengthen Qin's power and status in the court. ”

Bao Xi nodded slightly, "When you go on a pilgrimage tomorrow, you go to Dazaigu to ask your uncle and ask him to come here after the pilgrimage?" ”

"Yes," Xiuxiu said again, "Mr. Bao seems to be very concerned about Niangniang, and asked me a lot of things along the way, and also asked why I didn't see Twenty-Seven Things. ”

"Just tell the truth," Bao said.

Xiuxiu nodded, "On the way, Gongzi Bao also asked me who would take care of Nian'er after my mother gave birth to Nian'er?" I said that the king has to worry about, and people dare not snub their mother. ”

"I'm afraid I can't hide this matter for too long," Bao Xi sighed softly, I don't know what will become when this word reaches her father's ears, do you think that she killed Mrs. Zheng and took her son, thinking of this, Bao Xi's heart suddenly sank, she couldn't sit still anymore, and suddenly stood up.

"What's wrong with the mother?" Xiuxiu swallowed the food in her mouth, and then stood up and looked at Bao Xi and asked.

"I'm going to see Nian'er," Bao Xi said, and she was even worried that one day when Nian'er grew up and knew the truth of the matter, what kind of mood Bao Xi and the king would have.

Bao Xi sat on the edge of Nian'er's bed, gently patting Nian'er's mattress, he seemed to feel Bao Xi's appearance, immediately opened his eyes, looked at Bao Xi's "giggle" smile, and stretched out his hands to hold Bao Xi.

"Niangniang, don't worry, Nian'er is so clingy to you, even if you know that he is not Niangniang's biological child, she will definitely love you as a mother." Xiuxiu comforted Bao Xi softly, and Bao Xi patted Nian'er's back, "I sleep with Nian'er at night, help me warm up the dormitory first." ”

"Yes, sis!" Xiuxiu responded and walked towards Bao Xi's bedroom, walking faster and faster, with a slight smile on her face.

After the pilgrimage on the second day, Bao Xi hurriedly resigned and returned to the palace, looking at Uncle Zhao, who was waiting in the palace, and exclaimed, "Uncle." ”

"Niangniang," Uncle Zhao saluted.

"Uncle, please come back to the court." Bao Xi stretched out his hand and said, Uncle Zhao nodded slightly, and walked into the small wing room behind Bao Xi, "But what did you hear from your brother?" ”

Bao Xi nodded, "Now my brother really holds the military power of the Qin State in his hands, and Yingde will hold the heavy troops in Baocheng, I am afraid that he is coveting the Chu State." ”

"It's not that simple," Uncle Zhao shook his head, a deep sadness appeared on his face, he was originally worried about the occurrence of this matter, and now it has really verified Yingde's deployment of troops, I am afraid that the future fate of the Zhou Dynasty is destined to be bumpy.

"What is Yingde going to do?" Bao Xi asked nervously, but Uncle Zhao just smiled and shook his head, "Maybe I'm too worried!" ”

"If my uncle doesn't trust me, why should he let me pry my brother's mouth?" Bao Xi gathered all the expressions on her face, looking a little impersonal serious, she had already stood up from her chair, and made the appearance of sending off the guest at any time.

"The king intends to use this expedition to reclaim the rights in the hands of the princes!" Uncle Zhao suddenly blurted out, "Originally, he didn't let me tell you about this matter......" He said and sighed, Ji Gongyan didn't want to involve Bao Xi in this power battle, and he didn't want her to fall deeper and deeper, and she couldn't extricate herself.

"He ......" Bao's tone suddenly softened, and he blinked, "Have you sent a letter recently?" ”

Uncle Zhao nodded.

Bao Xi moved her mouth, wanting to ask something, but in the end, she didn't say anything, and changed the topic, "Yingde wants to coerce the surrounding small countries to join the Qin State and argue with the king?" ”

Uncle Zhao nodded with a sad face.

"For now?" Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and asked.

Uncle Zhao shook his head again.
