Chapter 300: Caught in Injustice
Ji Gongyan came late for the dinner in the evening, and I don't know if I deliberately gave my aunt a dismount, so that all the guests waited for a lot of time. He took a long time to deal with things, and the crowd shuttled back and forth in the Zheng Mansion, no one knew what was going on, and no one knew where these people suddenly appeared from, but the Zheng Mansion was very unfamiliar with these visitors, but they didn't dare to block their entry and exit.
For Bao Xi, Mrs. Zheng is a crucial chess piece in the Zheng family, after all, the Zheng Mansion was once taken care of by her, and no one knows how many cronies and how many people can use it. If she wants to help one of her sons, the other son will definitely be at a disadvantage, and the old lady's attitude is not clear.
All afternoon, Bao Xi's time was spent on grooming and dressing up, and in the evening, Bao Xi finally decided on her makeup, which was still plain, lightly pulled up, and no powder...... The scabbed marks on her face were ignored by her, and she didn't feel it at all, which made people unconsciously ignore her face itself, and were shocked by the graceful and elegant appearance, and shocked the guests sitting in the whole room. Bao Xi held Ji Gongyan, without any expression on his face, so plainly glanced at the people sitting in the room, and then let go of his hand on Ji Gongyan's arm, stood with his hands down, stood on the side of the guest of honor, waited for Ji Gongyan to fall, and then sat down after him.
Ji Gongyan looked at the old lady and smiled, "Old lady Zheng." ”
"King," Mrs. Zheng seemed to salute, but in fact, she regarded herself as an elder and in her tone, standing and looking at Mrs. Zheng, who stared at Mrs. Zheng without squinting, and called "Mrs. Zheng" in the same way, and there was no emotion in her tone.
Old Madam Zheng stared at her face, she didn't dodge in the slightest, and really ignored the injury on her face.
Maybe Bao Xi is not very beautiful, but she is beautiful in Ji Gongyan's eyes, and she is also beautiful in her heart, this is the ultimate self-confidence, and no one will think that she is not beautiful anymore.
Digging Tu pulled Nian'er to sit down together, Twenty-seven stared at Bao Xi's face for a long time, I don't know what happened to his mother, looked up at Du Tu's eyes full of doubts, Di Tu looked at Nian'er and then looked at Bao Xi, and asked, "Niangniang's illness is better?" ”
"Thank you for your concern," Bao Xi said, "and it's all right." ”
Dutu covered his mouth a little embarrassed, coughed twice, and everyone present also turned their eyes to Bao Xi, looking at her in surprise, thinking that she might not have figured out the situation yet. The digger explained, "I am not a candidate for the son of the world. ”
"You are both the son-in-law and the eldest son, Uncle Zheng once said that if you unfortunately die in the capital and succeed to the throne, what should you be if you are not the son of the world?" Bao Xi looked at the digging tu and asked, this balance quickly tilted, towards Zheng Boyou's side, Bao Xi looked at the digging tu with the majesty of the elder, which was irrefutable.
Obviously she is of the same age, but she can't feel the breath of her peers at all, so she had to look down at Nian'er beside her, and Nian'er cried out when she looked at her mother "Wow......", rubbed down from the chair and ran towards Bao Xi, hugging her thighs, "Mother, don't leave Nian'er!" ”
The young Nian'er made up her mind to have a cold war with her parents, but now that she saw Bao Xi's appearance, the whole person couldn't help but pounce over, and then looked at the injury on Bao Xi's face, and her heart was even more distressed. ”
Nian'er looked at Ji Gongyan and called timidly, "Father," and then turned back and shrunk into Bao Xi's arms, stretched out her white and tender little hand to touch Bao Xi's cheek, and asked Bao Xi softly, "Mother, does it hurt?" ”
Bao Xi shook her head and patted Nian'er, "Mother is late." ”
Nian'er shook her head, turned over from Bao Xi's body, stood on the ground and ran back to the position beside Dutu, climbed onto the table seriously, and looked at Ji Gongyan's eyes a little timid, but the brilliance in this bright eye was telling Ji Gongyan that if he wanted to hurt his mother, he would definitely spare no effort to protect her.
Ji Gongyan looked at Nian'er's appearance, he was indeed becoming more and more like him, and laughed softly, "In a blink of an eye, Nian'er is so old, the last time I saw him in infancy, he was just an unweaned child!" ”
"These days, the prince is teaching the prince archery and reading, and the prince is really talented, and he learns very quickly at a young age!" The eldest lady took advantage of this opportunity to immediately help her son say something, Ji Gongyan looked up and down, Bao Xi did not ask for her own opinion, and it was evident that she wanted to protect Zheng Boyou, although she was uncomfortable in her heart, she also knew that Bao Xi's intention this time had nothing to do with love.
"The prince is not very old, he is knowledgeable and a little good at archery, although he has little strength, and he does not shoot far, but he is very good at the head, and the mother is only afraid that the prince has spent a lot of effort in the palace. It is really admirable! He was very aware of his current situation, and he also knew the weight of Bao Xi's words in Ji Gongyan's ear, and the son who could be recognized by her should already be half of Zheng Guo's son.
"You don't have to be modest!" Ji Gongyan looked at Du Tu and laughed, "The widow has long heard Uncle Zheng talk about you, you can be literate and martial, I don't know if you are married now?" ”
"Not married yet!" Digging shook his head.
"Then there is a ready-made family business," Bao Xi immediately picked up the conversation, looked at Dutu and said, "Qi Bo's second daughter ......" Before she finished speaking, Old Madam Zheng "coughed" twice, "The king has worked tirelessly to come from afar, and the old man has set up a banquet to entertain you, how can I talk about Dutu, Dutu's marriage is naturally worried about his parents, and the king doesn't have to worry too much!" ”
Everyone's eyes suddenly moved from the body of the digging to the old lady's body, love the house can reach the house, the old lady does not like the eldest lady is a well-known thing, so he also likes to dig the son of the world, no matter how far he goes, in the eyes of the old lady, this digging is not so much the son of Zheng Guo as the external response of the Jin Kingdom.
"This palace just happens to have such a ready-made marriage at hand, and it is also a talented woman!" Bao Xi looked at the old lady and said, this attitude makes people sweat a little, although Zheng Boyou is still in power, but the position of the prince is not stable, and this Zheng Bo's position is not hot! However, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, Zheng Boyou and Zheng Qizhi are the sons of the old lady in the end, it is impossible for her to throw away a non-care, pursue some kind of balance of rights, but reach an agreement with Ji Gongyan's position, Ji Gongyu heard that Bao Xi and his aunt were about to have a dispute, so he took Bao Xi's hand, "Zheng Qizhi's uncle has not yet married, how can it be the turn to dig this junior, the happy events in the family, there must be a sequence, since it has just passed the year of the weak crown, this matter is not in a hurry, after one or two years, Let's discuss it when Zheng Qizhi has a family. ”
"Yes," Bao Xi had to close her mouth this time, looking at Ji Gongyan pursed her lips slightly, looked at the old lady and sighed, now she finally understands why Zheng Boyou, as the son of the world, willingly went to the capital city to be a proton, probably because she didn't want her mother to feel embarrassed because of the power struggle between herself and Zheng Qizhi.
"How is the old lady doing lately?" Ji Gongyan looked at the old lady and asked.
"This Zheng family doesn't have so many things in the palace, and the old body doesn't need to worry about anything, so it's naturally good!" The old lady replied, this made Ji Gongyan nodded, "The ability of the widow is limited, and the capital has been in chaos for a while, and Uncle Zheng has to come forward to relieve the widow." After he finished speaking, he took Bao Xi's hand and looked at her and Nian'er, "Nian'er? He screamed.
"Yes!" Nian'er set her sights on her father.
"Now that your mother has become the queen of my Great Zhou, you should call her the queen mother in the future!" Ji Gongyan said, Nian'er looked at Bao Xi and asked, "What does the queen mean?" That...... Is Nian'er still my mother's son? ”
Bao Xi nodded.
"Queen Mother," Nian'er tried to call her, and Bao Xi nodded slightly, which made Nian'er grin, "Father, Nian'er understands." The estrangement between him and Ji Gongyan seems to have disappeared in an instant, after all, blood is thicker than water, and the love between father and son is deep, and this sentence of the father is much smoother than the game just now.
"You'll be an adult in the future," Ji Gongyu pointed at Nian'er and said, "I have to protect your mother!" ”
"Yes, father, Nian'er will definitely protect her mother!" Nian'er looked up at Bao Xi with a stubborn little face, Nian'er sat on the opposite table of Bao Xi, and next to her sat the panicked Twenty-seven, looking at Nian'er and looking at Bao Xi, she really felt uncomfortable and stood up and looked at Nian'er and said, "Nian'er is sitting here, right?" ”
"You sit!" The old lady pressed Twenty-Seven's arm.
"Nian'er and Dutu are both juniors, and it is right to sit on opposite seats." Bao Xi looked at Twenty-seven and said, telling her to settle down and sit beside her, "Twenty-seven has been married to the Zheng Mansion for many days, and she can be favored and taken care of by the old lady, and the palace is really grateful!" Twenty-seven grew up with the palace since childhood, like sisters, entered the palace with the palace, and protected the palace many times, if it weren't for the twenty-seven, I was afraid that the palace would not be able to sit here today. She spoke lightly to the old lady, which seemed to be said to the old lady, to express her gratitude to the old lady for taking care of her, but in fact it was said to the eldest lady, and the implication was "Twenty-seven is my person, you try it!" ”
"The old body can't see that Niangniang and Twenty-Seven are sisters and sisters." The old lady snorted coldly.
"Twenty-seven has done a lot for the main palace, and the main palace has done for the twenty-seven...... Too little, indeed. Bao Xi looked at Twenty-Seven and said, the apologetic tone made Twenty-seven a little panicked, and shook her head vigorously, "That's not the case, Niangniang!" Niang Niang is twenty-seven ......"
"You don't say a word," the old lady scolded Twenty-seven and closed her mouth, "If Niangniang really treats you as a sister, she should give you an identity when she marries into the royal court, and let you serve the king. ”
"That's not the case...... Twenty-seven shook her head vigorously, feeling that her mouth was full and she couldn't explain it, and the old lady had completely fallen into injustice.
