Bao Xi stood up from the water, there was still a faint pain in her lower abdomen, but there was no trace of frowning, she was as white as jade, she came out of the water and pulled up the white robe on the shelf and draped it on her body, spread the hair behind her, turned to look at Twenty-seven and said, "What you said just now can already make the two of us be condemned to death!" ”

Twenty-seven and four looked down, and then realized that today's Qiongtai Hall was no longer yesterday's Qiongtai Palace. She turned her head to look at Bao Xi, and seemed to suddenly understand something, now this Qiongtai Hall seems to be lively, people come and go, there is no shortage of people to call, the hall is even more glamorous every day, even the most subtle carving and hollowing of the candlestick has not fallen the slightest dust.

But you can no longer tell which of them can be trusted, and which one is a dagger with poison - see the blood seal. Every word, every look, and every action is being speculated and recorded, and it is really like walking on thin ice and trembling.

Ji Gongyan seems to be extremely fond of Bao Xi, but this favor is always conditional, and now Bao Xi is just a canary in a cage, exchanging her free body for glory, but all this is not what she wants. The true feelings exchanged for conditions are just a flash in the pan, and sooner or later they will always wither.

Twenty-seven covered his mouth and said in a very panicked manner, "Niang Niang forgives her sins!" ”

"Zheng Situ will definitely be like me, and he will protect you in this life," Bao Xi patted Twenty-seven on the shoulder, which was the greatest relief to her, and she couldn't think of a better sentence other than that.

Twenty-seven sobbed and shook her head, "Niangniang," she knelt on the ground suddenly, and made a loud "bang", "Twenty-seven doesn't want to leave Niangniang, even if she serves Niangniang in this palace for the rest of her life, Twenty-seven is willing." ”

"A lifetime of ......," Bao Xi repeated these three words, "Do you know what it means to be a lifetime?" ”

"That is, from birth to death, when the mother is unlucky, Twenty-seven will also go with you," Twenty-seven looked at Bao Xi, his eyes were burning, and he said very earnestly, Bao Xi shook his head, "The meaning of a lifetime is that if you want to stay here, you must become the king's woman, be his concubine like me, accompany him, compete with other women in the palace for favor, fight for your life and death, and if you are not careful, your life will be at risk, and you will never recover." ”

Twenty-seven shook his head violently, "Twenty-seven don't, Twenty-seven just wants to follow Niangniang around, Twenty-seven will not compete with Niangniang for favor." ”

"The women of the harem are all the women of the king." Bao Xi lifted Twenty-Seven's chin with her hand and whispered in her ear, "If you are willing, I can open my mouth and ask the king to keep you in the palace." ”

"Don't!" Twenty-seven shook his head vigorously.

Bao Xi put down the hand that was holding Twenty-seven, and dragged the long skirt out of this room, she stepped on the ground barefoot, without making a sound, her head was raised high, black hair poured down her back like a waterfall, and the white robe was very solemn, like an inviolable queen, and the brilliance around her body was brilliant, which made people look sideways.

Late at night, Zhou Ting's banquet slowly kicked off, and the sound of music gradually became noisy. The crowd in the front hall fell into the joy of Qi State's defeat of Dongyi, and I don't know when, the protagonists of the banquet turned into Qi Bo and Zheng Boyou, and the crowd congratulated them one after another, and even Zhao Shudao and Yu Shi's father all showed flattery to these two.

Mrs. Qin sent someone to say that after Shen, Bao Xi pushed out the errand to go to the ancestral hall to worship, Shen Hou only then looked around and found that the signs of the king had long been gone, he didn't know when he had left the front hall, she wanted to stand up and go to the Qiongtai Hall to find Bao Xi Xingshi to ask for guilt, but only then did she lift her body, Uncle Zhao took him with a drunken spirit to pay homage to Shen Hou and pay tribute to her, so that everyone surrounded Shen Hou until late at night, the ministers dispersed, and Shen Hou was already exhausted.

This time of year is the busiest time, and Dazaigu is especially the case. Officials of all sizes had to count the tributes and accounts sent from various places to have a general understanding of the situation of the Zhou Dynasty each year. Three days later came the Celestial Worship Ceremony, during which all the people were busy, and after the autumn harvest was the busiest season for the officials of the DPRK and China, and the people of the whole country could rest for a while at this time.

Ji Gongyan has to meet with different princes in the front hall in turn, discuss different state affairs, most of the time he is drowsy, and the lord Shangqing listens or makes a judgment on his behalf, and this year's situation is the same as in previous years.

On the second day of the East Palace, Bao Xi took off her plain white robe, put on a red water show long skirt, the long skirt dragged down, the body of the step and the bead hairpin intertwined, although there was no makeup but also looked very luxurious, she folded her hands in front of her, step by step slowly from the east palace to the east palace, with a majestic breath in her face, as if in this hall, she is the queen of the high, waiting for everyone to greet her.

"See Empress Shen." Bao Xi said, not even bending his knees slightly.

Empress Shen slammed the teacup in her hand on the table, and made a loud noise, and the whole person suddenly got up, trying to press down Bao Xi in such a posture, "Have you put me, the queen, in your eyes?" ”

Bao Xi looked at Empress Shen, her eyes were full of faint incomprehension, so she didn't answer, waiting for Empress Shen to continue.

Empress Shen's words were thrown out, but it seemed that she was sinking into the sea, which made her feel a little embarrassed, and the next sentence was even more angry, "On that day, you personally took away the errand of serving the ancestral tablet from me, and now the two-month period has not expired, but you have committed a taboo first, if my fortune is damaged in the coming year, can you afford this responsibility?" ”

"Has the queen ever been angry with her wife and concubines?" Bao Xi looked at Empress Shen, stretched out a hand and pointed at the ladies and concubines, and asked for them.

"Joke!" Empress Shen snorted coldly, "The women of the harem should try their best to help the king take care of the affairs of the court, how can this palace be angry with others because of such a trivial matter?" What's more, since ancient times, there has been no exclusive favor in the harem, don't think that once you gain power, you will be able to prosper in the harem for a long time, and the end of the glory and favor is usually extremely miserable! ”

"That's it," Bao Xi withdrew the hand she had just stretched out, turned her back to Empress Shen and said, "Niang Niang still has such insight, how could the ancestors have the same knowledge as me and be angry with the fortunes of my dynasty and the people of the Great Zhou?" She pursed her lips and walked out the door.

"Stop for Hongu!" Empress Shen scolded, "Paying homage to the East Palace is a rule that has existed in my dynasty since the establishment of the dynasty, and the palace has not yet allowed you to leave......" Before she finished speaking, Bao Xi just threw down a sentence lightly, "The king has had an edict since Bao Xi entered the palace, and the rules in the palace do not have to be followed." As for serving the ancestral tablet, after Niangniang is a country, the head of all the people should also fulfill his filial piety. ”

After Bao Xi said this, he walked farther and farther, his figure became smaller and smaller, and gradually disappeared from the field of vision of the East Palace, and the young prince of the East Palace held the master of the back hall and looked up at his nurse and asked, "Who is that person?" ”

"Qiongtai Palace!" The nurse said.

"How could she speak to the queen mother like that?" The prince asked angrily, since he was born, he had never seen anyone dare to be so domineering in front of Empress Shen, his heart was full of resentment towards Bao Xi, and the nurse said, "That's a demon girl, who specializes in seducing the king and killing my Zhou Dynasty!" ”

"Someday, I will kill her by my sword!" Prince Yijiu snorted coldly, and his hand was clenched into a fist.

Mrs. Qin looked at the back of Bao Xi leaving, she had changed too much in the past day, from the previous incident of the demon concubine of the country, she had already spied out that the purpose of Bao Xi was to take a step back to cover her edge, so it may not be her idea to set off disputes again. In this harem, the only one who can support this woman is the unpredictable king.

"Niangniang," Madam Qin said as she looked at Empress Shen, "I'm afraid that this Bao Xi doesn't have the courage to dare to talk to you like this." ”

"What do you mean?" Shen Hou asked.

"I'm afraid that the king is dissatisfied with your actions, and he will spit it out with his mouth." Mrs. Qin looked at Empress Shen and smiled a little weirdly, "A few days ago, the king asked me about the deployment of the army of the Qin State, originally there was nothing to do with Zheng Guo to go to the Qi State to fight, but the king had to use Zheng Qizhi, who had never been on the battlefield, just because the concubine got the news that the dog Rong was eyeing me Da Zhou. She looked at Empress Shen's face as she spoke, and when she was working together to deal with the demon concubine Bao Xi, Mrs. Qin more or less revealed that she had evidence of Shenhou's treason and collaboration with the enemy, and then said this at this moment, the purpose was naturally to make Empress Shen Zhanghuang.

Shen Houguo was a little nervous, and his breathing became irregular.

"It's strange to say, the forces of my Qin State have always been strong, and several dog Rong attacks were intercepted by my brothers with troops, and they won a complete victory, defeating the dog Rong's army several times. Now, Inu Rong is making a comeback, eyeing the land of the Central Plains of China, and seems to be fully prepared, I don't know if there is another hidden meaning in this? Mrs. Qin looked at Empress Shen and said slowly, her words suddenly turned to the current war in the Zhou Dynasty, and Mrs. Wei on her side immediately felt a trace of displeasure, "Fighting is a matter for men, we just need to take care of the harem and don't let some people with intentions take advantage of the situation to make trouble, Mrs. Qin can't help but pull the topic too far." ”

When Empress Shen heard Mrs. Wei stand up and divert the topic, she immediately picked up her words, "Now that the princes have come to see you, the ministers of Dazai Palace are busy, we can prepare for the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens according to the previous arrangements and plans, don't make any more trouble!" ”

"Yes!" Madam Qin raised her eyebrows, "The concubines are just speculating that the king probably wants Empress Shen to set an example for the hundred women and worship them in the ancestral hall." Otherwise, according to Bao Xi's identity, how dare he talk to his mother like this? After she said this, she stood up, "I may wish to temporarily replace the ancestors in the ancestral hall tonight, I think the ancestors will also understand." ”

"No need," said Empress Shen, "now that the government of the DPRK and China is busy, it is naturally the most appropriate to go from the main palace." ”

The corners of Madam Qin's mouth slightly provoked a smile, and she didn't say anything more. Today's autumn is not better than the end of summer a few days ago, there is still some residual temperature in the middle of the night, the cold of autumn wraps the entire ancestral hall, Shen Hou in addition to the worship of the matter but also pious worship, there can be no one to serve beside him, at most he can only wait outside the hall, which is not to mention the burning of charcoal fire to keep warm.

After a night, Shen Hou was a little exhausted, and the morning meeting was also weak and sore, and after the second day, he simply ordered the people to stop the morning service in the East Palace, and on the third day, he was bedridden, tired and sore, and was afraid that it was a cold. In previous years, the king and queen had always presided over the ceremony, but this year, things seem to have changed slightly.
