Chapter 288: The peach blossoms on the human face are red
Ji Gongyan left the East Palace and went in the direction of the front hall, the time was not early, the sun in the east gradually climbed up, revealing a white glimmer, and the whole earth moved from night to day, little by little let the world recover its original appearance from the darkness. Bao Xi instructed someone to clean up the food box for the morning meal, and Huan Ying looked cramped and uneasy, as if Bao Xi was deliberately snubbing her.
This goes to Zheng Guo, once Xiuxiu turns back from there, the ring warbler will be struggling in the palace. She stood outside the house of the East Palace and waited for the ladies of the palace who came to pay homage, and when Mrs. Chu came, Huanying looked left and right for a while, and then whispered, "Mrs. Chu!" Then he prayed.
Mrs. Chu nodded slightly, her expression was tight and her face was serious.
"In the morning, the king went to the morning court," Huanying leaned next to Mrs. Chu and said, Mrs. Chu nodded again, when she looked serious, she was less delicate, which made people look a little scary, and Huanying didn't know what Mrs. Chu wanted to hear from her mouth, so she had to continue, "The king and Niangniang are going to Zhengguo, and they will be ready these days!" ”
Mrs. Chu still just nodded, but did not speak.
"The king said, let the slave and maid accompany him all the way!" Huanying whispered, this made Mrs. Chu finally interested, "Oh? ”
"The mother is angry with the slave!" Huanying muttered, seeing Bao Xi's intentional cold reception as her anger, but she didn't know that Bao Xi was just too lazy to spend too much effort on her, and now Huanying was walking in front of her like a dead person. Dying in the palace, people will say that Bao Xi competes with his slaves and maids for favor, and the dispute between master and servant is too unbearable to say...... But who knows what happened when you die outside?
Ji Gongyan's intentions, Mrs. Chu couldn't understand. Judging from the history of Ji Gongyan's pampering but cheating with Sangzhu in the Qiongtai Palace, she thought that Ji Gongyan's temperament was always difficult to determine, and she was particularly interested in the maids around her woman. Since he thought so, a smile appeared on his face, and he patted Huanying's shoulder, "Do you know which way to go to Zheng Guo here?" ”
"When the king and the mother talked about it, the slave heard some ......" Huanying told Mrs. Chu in detail what she had heard, where to go, how many days to stay, no matter how big or small, Mrs. Chu smiled with satisfaction, her face was finally cloudy and clear, she saw a bright appearance, looked at Huanying and continued to ask, "Will the king return to the East Palace later?" ”
"Return," Huanying nodded, "When I left in the morning, I said that I had come back here!" The slave really doesn't understand......"
"Don't understand what?" Mrs. Chu asked.
"I don't understand, since the king likes Mrs. Chu, why should he waste time on the queen of praise?" Huanying asked, always feeling that the king's words and deeds were really too contradictory, since he liked Bao Xi so much, but he used the Xiande Hall to hide Jiao, and protected Mrs. Zheng everywhere, looking at Bao Xi Sheng was extremely honorable, but Mrs. Zheng didn't know how proud she was!
"In a man's heart, there has never been only love and love, not to mention, he is the monarch, the only man in the world who is called a king," Mrs. Chu snorted coldly and said, slandering in her heart that if Huanying can see through this matter, then she will not be a little Xiren now, that Sangzhu is in a hurry, but she is much smarter than Huanying, if it weren't for the fact that she was in a hurry to put Bao Xi to death, I am afraid that it would ...... It won't die so quickly and so miserably! Mrs. Chu looked at the warbler, and she didn't know why, the people brought out by Bao Xi always seemed to have an enmity with her, and everyone was in a hurry to kill her!
"The slave doesn't understand," Huanying shook her head.
"If you understand, you will be a lady!" Mrs. Chu said impatiently, Huanying quickly closed her mouth, and walked to the front to guide Mrs. Chu, she has this color, and when the ladies entered the East Palace, Huanying retreated and waited outside the door. Mrs. Wei is now sitting in the position closest to Bao Xi, although the position in Ji Gongyan's heart is the weakest of the three ladies, but after all, she has been in the palace for the longest time, and she has become the most powerful among the ladies, she looked at Mrs. Chu who entered the door later and the ring warbler beside her, and looked at Bao Xi again, and seemed to be able to guess what Mrs. Chu was planning, and the corners of her mouth were slightly filled with a smile.
After the morning greeting was over, it was still Mrs. Chu who stayed at the end and did not leave, Mrs. Wei walked to the door and felt that something was wrong, turned her head and looked at Mrs. Chu and Bao Xi again, both of them were waiting for a fierce battle, as if they were going to fight a vicious battle, she smiled slightly and stepped out. You just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and finally stand on the weaker side and balance the power a little. She has always been good at things with mud, but also because she has been in the palace for too long, she seems to have figured out Ji Gongyan's temperament, Ji Gongyan, as the king of a country, will never allow anyone to be alone in the harem, dominant, even if it is praise, she guesses, Ji Gongyan is not allowed.
Mrs. Chu waved her hand, and the concubines, wives, and female queens in her palace retreated first. Mrs. Chu looked at the maid who served Bao Xi today, and waited for her to withdraw before saying, "What? Is it easy to use the warbler? ”
"Mrs. Chu is wide enough!" Bao Xi said.
"It's just that the rumors and rumors spread in the East Palace outside, and it won't help for Niangniang to be angry with Huanying! On the contrary, it made people see the joke, I also said a few days ago that the king, you can't stay in the Youyang Palace and not return to the East Palace, in the end, the queen is the wife! Mrs. Chu looked at Bao Xi and said, as if she was chatting, staring at her expression carefully.
Bao Xi snorted lightly, "This palace is negligent, which one is not used to use which one, and it is so particular?" ”
"The weather is good today," Mrs. Chu glanced at the sunlight outside the window, and picked up the glass of water on the table, "Mrs. Chu still has something to say, don't beat around the bush!" ”
"Niang doesn't mind going outside with me, does she?" Mrs. Chu asked, "Now that the Qiongtai Hall has been demolished and the lotus pond has been rebuilt, just outside the gate of the Huachen Palace, it has just become a pool, and it has not had time to release the water." ”
"Okay!" Bao Xi dragged her long skirt and stood up, walked forward, walked to the door, turned around, paused and looked at the ring warbler and asked Mrs. Chu, "Mrs. Chu said, should the palace take the ring warbler?" ”
"Niangniang doesn't dare to be alone with me?" Mrs. Chu asked.
"Alas......" Bao Xi sighed, "It's all for Mrs. Chu to say!" You don't need this person, it's the palace to be careful, use it...... Mrs. Chu wants to be alone with me again, and this master is not easy to do! ”
"It's not that I spread this word, it's just that now in this harem, it is said that you are not in harmony with Huanying, and the master and servant are angry, and it is not very good to say it." Mrs. Chu said, walking on Bao Xi's side, walking towards the original Qiongtai Palace, a magnificent palace that was now scorched, and then dug up, filled with new soil, and about to be put into water.
Last year, in this door today, the peach blossoms on the faces of the people were red.
The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze.
Bao Xi's expression was a little trance, staring at the place where Ji Gongyan jumped into the pool to pick lotus flowers for Mrs. Zheng, she was full of emotion in her heart, and shook her head slightly.
"Mother?" Mrs. Chu shouted, and Bao Xi suddenly turned her head to look at Mrs. Chu, "Huh? ”
"What? Revisiting the old place evokes the sadness of the mother? If this temple is gone, it is gone, just as the people are gone. This Huachen Hall was built for me that day, but now everyone only remembers Mrs. Zheng! Mrs. Chu's words have a bit of self-deprecation, it seems that she is moved by true feelings, no matter what, she is true to Ji Gongyan, she looks at Mrs. Chu, the taste in her heart is not good, there is only love in this world, and she does not pay attention to the ratio of pay and return.
"Bengong also remembered Mrs. Zheng," said Bao Xi, looking into the distance.
"Did you think of Mrs. Zheng, or did you think of Uncle Zheng?" Mrs. Chu's voice was cold, and Bao Xi suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Mrs. Chu, "What do you mean by Mrs. Chu?" ”
"Now that I want to go to Zheng Guo, facing Uncle Zheng, I'm afraid that my mother can't calm down in my heart, right?" Mrs. Chu looked at Bao Xi and asked.
Bao Xi looked at Mrs. Chu's face and did not change, but just asked, "What did the king tell you?" ”
"Which thing? Are you going to Zheng Guo, or are you in love with Zheng Bo? Mrs. Chu asked, and immediately said again without waiting for Bao Xi to answer, "Niangniang never thought about why the king still wants to take you to Zheng Guo even though he knows the affection between you and Uncle Zheng?" ”
"What do you want to say?" Bao Xi turned to Mrs. Chu and asked.
"Something happened, Niangniang is afraid that she doesn't know yet, the old department of Dongyi has taken refuge in Beidi," Mrs. Chu said, "Now that the north is being defeated, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold it for too long." You also know that the Marquis of Chu and I are not really brothers and sisters, so I am not afraid to tell the truth, the State of Chu has always wanted to be the king and dominate the continent of Kyushu, and the first king has been trying his best to curb the development of Chu's power when he was alive, but the first king mistakenly believed the rumors in his later years, killed a large number of loyal ministers and good generals, women, children and young daughters, and the Zhou monarch lost its past prestige in the entire Kyushu, and the power of the Zhou monarch was shaky. The state of Chu is ready to take advantage of this time, but I am afraid that it is not small. At this moment, Beidi attacked, and the north of Jin was defeated, and in the long run, only the reinforcements of the pickaxe capital were left. The situation of the Qin State is too busy to take care of itself, and Zheng Qizhi and Zheng Boyou seem to be safe and sound, but in fact, they are dangerous; I am afraid that the only one who can go on the expedition is ...... There is only the state of Chu, once the state of Chu runs through Kyushu and goes from the land of the southern barbarians to the north of Jin to fight, it is equivalent to dividing the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou into two and dividing the east and west...... Can the mother understand the consequences? ”
Bao Xi's heart was suddenly shocked, Ji Gongyan had never told her about all this.
In the East Palace, Ji Gongyan ended the early dynasty and turned back, wanting to urge Bao Xi to start Zheng Guo's trip as soon as possible. He has already instructed Uncle Zhao to bring, there is no need to report if there is no important matter in the past few days, prepare horses, cars, and accompanying troops, and prepare to set off from the pickaxe capital. He turned back to the East Palace, and collided with the hurried Huanying, who threw himself straight into Ji Gongyan's arms, and the whole person froze and was stunned.
Ji Gongyan frowned slightly, I don't know why the people in the East Palace are becoming more and more unruly, and he smiled slightly when he saw that the other party was Huanying, revealing a gentle expression. Huanying's face turned pale, and the first thing she did when she came back to her senses was to kneel on the ground and say vigorously, "The king forgives the sin, the slave didn't mean it!" With that, she pulled her dress down, trying to show off the twin peaks she had always been so proud of.
