Chapter 160: No Regrets
Uncle Zhao looked at Bao Xi and shook his head, he had never heard from Ji Gongyan's mouth that the name of a certain concubine he had pampered in the past was called Lu Ning. Of course, ordinary women are pampered, and King Zhou will not mention it in front of Uncle Zhao, he doesn't know that it is naturally very ordinary, "This woman ...... What's the difference? ”
"The concubine's departure from the palace is already unusual!" Bao Xi said.
"What else?" Uncle Zhao asked, knowing that Bao Xi must rely on more than just this.
"This woman has long known what method I used to keep the other women and women behind, so she has already figured out how to send me a trick. She is not only very smart, but also seems to insist on leaving the palace, and before leaving, she also said a word to me, and she will thank me for letting her out of the palace today! Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and narrated, Uncle Zhao's expression was also a little more solemn because of this, Bao Xi is now the most favored woman in this palace, it can be said that it is unlikely to leave the palace, so if we meet again in the future, either the Zhou Dynasty will fall, the country will be ruined, or this woman will marry into the palace and become the new love of the king.
"He means to marry into the palace?" Uncle Zhao asked, because it is difficult to predict both Guopo and Wang Bang, the only thing that can be guessed accurately is the path he is going to take.
Bao Xi nodded, "I think that's what it means, that's why I think it's strange." ”
"If that's the case, why do you want to leave the palace now?" Uncle Zhao looked at Bao Xi and asked, Bao Xi shook his head, "I just couldn't figure it out, so I came to ask my uncle for an explanation." What does my uncle have in mind? ”
Uncle Zhao shook his head, "Lu Ning...... It should be a woman who is offered from Lu Di, and if she can become a concubine, she must have also rewarded her father with a lot of money. I'm afraid that she is also from a noble scholar, but she is going to marry back after leaving the palace this time, so what she wants is the position of lady. ”
"It shouldn't be," Bao Xi shook her head, "If you want the position of the lady, then as long as you can get the favor of the king, this position will naturally be hers, but Xiuxiu said that Lu Ning has been closed since he entered the palace, and it seems that he is avoiding the favor of the king. ”
"Hiding from the king......" Uncle Zhao repeated the words, and his face suddenly became ugly, "Can you tell me about the woman's face and appearance?" ”
"Pale face, very thin, big eyes, but very flexible eyes......" Bao Xi relied on her only impression to recall Lu Ning, who had a relationship that day, and before she finished speaking, Uncle Zhao took up his own words, "The face is very small, the lips are very thin, some have no rules, and how many pockets do you have on your back?" Looking like a teenage girl? ”
"How does Uncle know?" Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao.
Uncle Zhao opened his mouth, but he didn't spit out the words, and finally just patted Bao Xi's shoulder, "It's nothing, you don't have to worry too much about this matter, it's just a concubine, don't worry about it." Anyway, from childhood to adulthood, the person who the king values and cares about the most is you, and he has broken so many examples for you, which is enough to prove his intentions. ”
"Why did my uncle suddenly talk to Bao Xi about these things?" Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and asked.
Uncle Zhao touched his nose, and then grinned, "I heard that you went to the East Palace today," he deliberately diverted the topic, and Bao Xi had no choice but to nod and stop asking, but he felt more and more that this Lu Ning's body must not be simple, and her name was indeed not called Lu Ning, but since Zhao Shuda thought that it was good that she didn't know about it, she didn't plan to dig into it anymore, so she left this matter behind.
"Yes, you can't just leave the matter there and leave it alone, right?" Bao Xi nodded, "The king really left me a big problem here, on one side is the prince, on the other side is the queen, if I look at it as nothing, I am afraid that it will be another day, and others will get sick and dirty, and I will be the way!" ”
That being said, it's not necessarily true. It also depends on this day, who is the queen and who is the prince! Uncle Zhao laughed, he had already understood Ji Gongyan's intentions, and named the child Bofu, Bo refers to Yijiu, and obedience refers to obedience, but this simple name is full of Qiankun, it means to abolish the prince, Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and shook his head, "Uncle, you can't talk nonsense." ”
"Yes, yes," Uncle Zhao nodded and laughed, "So you plan to find Empress Shen to deal with the affairs of the palace?" ”
"The ritual of reopening the harem, the rewards and punishments are clear, if someone is late or does not come, the mother will report the list to the palace, and the uncle will cut these people's money for this week, and in the long run, presumably everyone will no longer be unsightly." Bao Xi said.
"You're helping Shen Hou Liwei." Uncle Zhao pointed to Bao Xi.
Bao Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm not interested in the back position, not to mention, Liwei is not only reflected in the matter of pilgrimage. She paused, as if there was another greater ambition hidden in her breast, and soon picked up her words, "There is another matter, and I ask my uncle for help." ”
"You say," Uncle Zhao nodded.
"The crown prince Yijiu is now ordered by the king to think behind closed doors in the East Palace, and he is not allowed to step out of the door. I always think that this is inappropriate, and the gap between Yijiu and the king lies in the king's little concern, so I advocate that Yijiu care about the government. Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and said, this is the last important thing she came to today.
"Concerned about the government ......and politics," Uncle Zhao twisted the words in his mouth, "You want to repair the relationship with Yijiu?" ”
Bao Xi nodded.
"Difficult!" Uncle Zhao blurted out and said, "This matter is too difficult!" ”
"I just knew that it was difficult, so I came to ask my uncle for help," Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and said, holding his arm, but really pretending to be a niece, Uncle Zhao looked at Bao Xi and smiled, "You! Others are fair and unselfish! I only think that you are love has become an idiot, and there are no regrets! I'll think about how to arrange the affairs of Yijiu, I can't let him meddle in the government, once he intervenes, then if he makes a decision in the future, will we listen or not? Listen, this *year old kid is making a decision that is *out of ten* inappropriate; If you don't listen, I'm afraid that it will only deepen the contradiction between the king and Yijiu......" he said with a long sigh.
"It's all up to my uncle to decide this matter!" Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and said.
"You," Uncle Zhao pointed at Bao Xi, "The heart eye has calculated on my head, okay, you can rest assured, ask Yijiu to come and find a way to let him watch, instead of participating." ”
"Thank you, uncle," said Bao Xi, "then my uncle will be busy first, and I will take my leave." ”
"By the way," Uncle Zhao said with a look at Bao Xi, "A few days ago, your brother sent someone to deliver a letter. ”
"What does the letter say?" Bao Xi stood still, turned to Uncle Zhao with great difficulty and asked.
"I'll be in the capital in a few days," Uncle Zhao said back.
"Daddy...... Is there any news? Bao Xi hesitated to ask, and Uncle Zhao just shook his head, "I didn't say anything." ”
Bao Xi pursed her lips and nodded, "Sorry uncle," she turned around and left Dazai Palace, with a sour feeling in her heart, whether she was good or King Zhou, she wanted to redeem the decline of the Zhou Dynasty brought by King Zhou Li as much as possible.
Now, Ji Gongyan can be said to have exhausted the organs, but all this cannot be said by others, but can only be admitted. I don't care about other people's misunderstandings, but her father's resolute attitude makes her feel like she is on the verge of a cold abyss, and her heart is as cold as iron. The daughter he taught single-handedly, but now he can't read about it.
On the second day, she went very early, and she guessed that many people were watching her movements, and she had to make a gesture earlier. On this day, the harem ladies got up very early, so early that they might not have gone to bed at all last night, and now that autumn is going to winter, the earth is cold, and the sky is still a little dark, and the heavy cold is pressing, and the people who walk by are huddled in their clothes, and their breath will emit a white fog.
People became lazy and reluctant to step out.
This kind of weather makes people worry about the soldiers and horses of King Zhou, and the garrisons everywhere are afraid that some people will suffer from typhoid fever before they arrive in Qi State, and if they don't get enough care, maybe this disease can kill people. Bao Xi's heart was like being caught, she always imagined everything to the worst, slept very restlessly all night, and finally sat up from the bed in panic, looking at the empty and dark night, her heart beat for a long time and could not be calm.
Bao Xi got up early in the morning to bathe and change clothes, and when Xiuxiu came to serve, she found that Bao Xi had already put on a long skirt and was tying her hair.
"Niangniang," Xiuxiu saluted, took the grate in Bao Xi's hand, and gently pulled up her hair and combed it one by one, "I'm sorry, Xiuxiu got up late." ”
"It's okay, I just can't sleep." Bao Xi said.
"Niang Niang is worried about today's pilgrimage?" Xiuxiu asked.
Bao Xi shook her head, put her hands on the table, and played with the pearl hairpin given by the king uneasily, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, but she couldn't see the picture in front of her at all, and she only heard her brother mention the grand picture of the battlefield fight and the golden iron horse when she was a child, she sighed and was full of uneasiness.
"Niangniang...... Xiuxiu asked tentatively, "Are you missing the king?" ”
Bao Xi nodded, but he didn't shy away from it, "Marching and fighting, no more than anything else, such a cold winter, I'm really worried." ”
"The king has his own heavenly blessing, so the mother will relax her mind, right?" Xiuxiu said with relief.
"He also told me when he left," Bao Xi raised his eyes and looked at Xiuxiu, "If good and evil are rewarded, he should probably take his life to pay what he owes in this life, right?" He didn't even have confidence in the war...... her eyes flickered, and she paused for her words, not to say these discouraged words before the war had even begun.
