At the north gate of the palace, Uncle Zhao had been waiting here for Zheng Boyou's appearance early in the morning, seeing his cyan figure slowly coming from afar, Uncle Zhao took his expression and stared at Zheng Boyou's body, until he walked in, he said, "Uncle Zheng!" ”

"Zhao Shangqing?" Zheng Boyou felt a little strange.

"Knowing that Uncle Zheng is resigning today, the king ordered the old minister to come here and wait for you early in the morning," Uncle Zhao said, "The king is now handling official business in Huachen Palace, and he is also bothering Uncle Zheng to go to Huachen Hall with the old man." He walked in front and made a gesture of invitation to Zheng Boyou, and when Zheng Bo took two steps, the two walked side by side.

"Why does the king handle official business in the Huachen Palace?" Zheng Boyou asked, feeling a little puzzled about this matter.

"I'm afraid that I don't need to ask the old man for this reason, Uncle Zheng should also know it in his heart, right?" Uncle Zhao replied, Zheng Boyou looked at Uncle Zhao, and his voice was very low, "What does Zhao Shangqing mean by this?" ”

"Besides because of the mother, what else can it be?" Uncle Zhao asked rhetorically.

"The king really wants to marry Mrs. Chu and Qi Ji?" Zheng Boyou asked, Uncle Zhao nodded, this matter has been dealt with almost over, these days Ji Gongyan has been busy with this matter and even went to the Xiande Palace, Bao Xi instructed the people in the East Palace to clean up the original place where Shenhou lived, after all, he had to move there, and he couldn't live in the Xiande Hall of the King all the time. And Ji Gongyan is because of Mrs. Chu's entry into the palace, between the Huachen Palace and the second palace of Youyang Palace, he is already exhausted, and then think about his day Qi Ji enters the palace, the road in the future is inevitably too long, and he must not relax for a moment unless he dies.

"Yes!" Uncle Zhao replied.

"Why?" Zheng Boyou asked puzzledly, "Why did the king do this?" She has paid so much for him, can't she wait for him to treat him wholeheartedly once? ”

"You also gave so much for your mother? Have you ever treated you wholeheartedly? Uncle Zhao asked, sneering, "The most unimportant thing in this matter is the reciprocity of pay and return, since the king is not in the Xiande Hall now, it will be inconvenient for Zheng Bo to go to the Xiande Hall alone, and it will be inconvenient to go to the Huachen Hall to resign to the king." ”

Zheng Boyou's hands were clasped together, and he looked at Uncle Zhao incredulously, did the king regret it? He said he didn't care, but now he cares? In that case, why can't he be asked to take her away? Oh...... By the way, Zheng Boyou suddenly remembered that it was she who didn't want to go with him, not that he didn't let go. This thought came to his mind, and it was inevitable that people would feel that they could not face it, and he smiled dismally, "I see." ”

"Uncle Zheng," Uncle Zhao patted Zheng Boyou on the shoulder, "It's better to keep some distance from Niangniang, I don't know if innocence is important to other women, but it ...... to Niangniang."

"I see!" Zheng Boyou repeated again, exhausted, until he stepped into the Huachen Palace, Concubine Cai was helping Ji Gongyan grind, he took the pen on the bamboo slip to approve the official documents of the past few days, saw Zheng Boyou step into the palace with Uncle Zhao, waved his hand, signaling that Concubine Cai could go down, Concubine Cai nodded, retreated from the main hall, Zheng Boyou and Uncle Zhao took a walk forward to pay respects, "See the king." ”

"When will Uncle Zheng leave Beijing?" Ji Gong asked, bowing his head and continuing to write.

Zheng Boyou responded, "I'll leave tomorrow." ”

"Be careful all the way," Ji Gongyan instructed, "Since you don't want to participate in the ceremony, the widow is not reluctant, you took Niangniang out of the palace that day, saved Niangniang's life, Niangniang should have set up a banquet to thank you, but now that the affairs are added, Niangniang is busy dealing with the affairs of the harem, and she is negligent." ”

"No problem." Zheng Boyou replied, "This is the duty of a courtier. ”

"Uncle Zheng is worthy of being the prince of my Great Zhou, if everyone can be like you, the world will be much more peaceful!" Ji Gongyan finally raised his head and looked at Zheng Boyou and said, "The widow returned your entourage to you, Wenshuo will be used again, if he can be the Sima of the court in the future, it is also the credit of your Uncle Zheng, the widow thinks Uncle Zheng should not borrow it, right?" ”

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!" Zheng Boyou replied.

"Originally, it was meant to be practiced for you, if you return to China early, I am afraid that it will be beneficial to miss your wife and children at home, and the widow will not keep you! Originally, she planned to set up a banquet to show virtue, but the mother said that she was not feeling well, so she had to wait until another day to get together again! He can take Twenty-Seven to the capital every day! Niangniang and Twenty-Seven sisters have a deep relationship, and they have not been seen for some days. He smiled and said these words to Zheng Boyou, but Zheng Boyou didn't listen to these words easily, the king didn't care about Niangniang, not him Zheng Boyou, his heart sank suddenly, I don't know what Ji Gongyan wants to do?

Ji Gongyan didn't mention anything about going to Zheng Guo at all, but simply instructed this, gave Zheng Boyou a Fang Zun, and engraved his merits for saving his mother, and then asked Uncle Zhao to take him away. This conversation seems to be okay with Uncle Zhao, and he is also frightened when he hears it, the meaning of the king's dialogue seems to be that Zheng Boyou and Zheng Qizhi have their own abilities. In this way, Zheng Qizhi was born and died as the king, and he could kill Zheng Qizhi because he saw Zheng Boyou's vision, and Uncle Zhao had to pinch a cold sweat for himself, especially when he found that Yu Shifu knew much more than he did, which shows that he was not a chess piece that had to exist in this chess game of Ji Gongyan.

"The king has nothing else to explain?" Zheng Boyou looked at Ji Gongyan and asked, Ji Gongyan was also looking at him, and asked puzzledly, "Is there anything else that the widow didn't think through?" ”

"Where's the prince's suit?" Zheng Boyou asked.

"That's right," Speaking of this matter, Ji Gongyan suddenly remembered something, and turned to Uncle Zhao, "Zhao Shangqing, can you find a time to announce Nian'er's name?" ”

"Yes, King!" Uncle Zhao responded with a voice, now that Yi Jiu is far away in Shenguo, it is only a matter of time before he is deposed, and there is no need to continue to hide the name of Bofu, Ji Gongyan wants to let Bofu sit firmly in his position, but I am afraid that he still needs to correct his status as a sister-in-law when he is young.

Seeing that Ji Gongyan deliberately diverted the topic, Zheng Boyou was also an interesting person, so he didn't continue to ask, just said goodbye to Ji Gongyan, and retreated from the Huachen Hall and strode ahead; And Uncle Zhao was ordered to send Zheng Boyou out of the palace, and followed his footsteps behind. Zheng Boyou walked a few steps suddenly, suddenly stopped, and saw a piece of scorched earth that was originally blocked in front of the Huachen Palace, and learned that people were cleaning the dark ground here day and night, and Ji Gongyu had already ordered to double the size of the lotus pond and cover the position of the Qiongtai Palace, and the burned palace would not reappear.

Zheng Boyou's heart was full of sourness, now that he can't see Bao Xi anymore, it's also good, he forced himself to smile, Uncle Zhao took a step forward and stood beside him, "The king has ordered to rebuild this place into a lotus pond, and there will be no Qiongtai Hall from now on!" ”

"Niangniang is now the master of the East Palace, why do you need Qiongtai Palace?" Zheng Boyou replied.

"Alas......" Uncle Zhao sighed, "I don't want the changes here to be so great in the past three years, when Niangniang was just favored, she groped from the palace to my mansion and pushed you to the position of Situ, this matter is like yesterday, how can three years have passed in a blink of an eye!" ”

Zheng Boyou squinted at Uncle Zhao, "Why do you want me to be this Situ?" ”

"At the beginning, the king was to clear the obstacles for Zheng Qizhi," Zhao Shudai said truthfully, "borrowing the power checks and balances between the princes and the ruling faction, and putting you in the position of Situ." The king didn't expect Niangniang to help you, for this matter, the king snubbed Niangniang, so that Qiongtai Hall was silent and cold for a while, but Niangniang is Niangniang after all, that is, ordinary people feel that there is no way out, Niangniang always has her way, pushing Sangzhu as a concubine, above herself, in order to change the king back to Qiongtai Palace. ”

"She's not such a person," Zheng Boyou said as he looked into the distance, "Zhao Gong still doesn't know this niece of hers, she has never been such a person." ”

"Oh?" Uncle Zhao looked at Zheng Boyou and asked, "So what does Uncle Zheng think she pushed you to be this Situ for?" ”

Zheng Boyou smiled, turned around and walked towards the outside of the palace, "She didn't have any ideas, she was just panicked when she first entered the palace." ”

……

"Niangniang," Huanying stumbled in from outside, since that day she learned to be obedient after opening her mouth by Bao Xi, in front of Bao Xi is somewhat restrained, but behind the back there is no repentance, because the king did not blame her, she so unscrupulously chewed the root of her tongue behind her back and other people, completely forgetting who she was.

Bao Xi frowned, and looked at Huanying with some impatience, "What's so urgent?" ”

"Uncle Zheng is here!" Huanying said that the relationship between Bao Xi and Zheng Boyou is now a secret that everyone knows in the palace, and she inquired in the morning that Zheng Boyou would come to the palace today to bid farewell to the king, and at this moment she couldn't help but run back to tell Bao Xi that she felt that Niang Niang needed to know about it.

"Where are you from? Hall of Virtue? Bao Xi asked, her face expressionless.

"No, I went to Huachen Hall to pay homage to the king, saying that I was leaving, I'm afraid I'm going to leave at this time, won't Niangniang go to take a look?" Huanying asked, saying this, Bao Xi frowned hesitantly, looked at Huanying, and pinched his temples with his hand, "Except for the people who come to the Xiande Hall to pay homage and need to report to me, there is no need to talk about the others." With that, she turned around and threw off her wide sleeves and walked into the dormitory.

She pushed open the window of the dormitory, leaving the palace from the Huachen Palace, the road in front of the Xiande Hall is a must-pass, open this window, and what comes in from the outside is the tree-lined path, Bao Xi looked at the road below, and Zheng Boyou happened to pass by at this time, and looked up and saw Bao Xi looking at him.

It was a little worried, and a little reluctant, seeing Zheng Boyou's praise seemed to be frightened, stunned for a moment, he looked at her and smiled, nodded slightly, it was a response to her worry, she looked at him and laughed, waved her hand gently, and was a blessing to him all the way.

His farewell ended with that.
