After listening to Bao Xi's words, Mrs. Qi Bo smiled and nodded slightly, the relationship between Bao Xi and Zheng Boyou was rumored in the court, so what she said Mrs. Qi Bo believed it, "What Niang Niang said is that this is a blessing for the little girl." ”

"Another day, if you win the victory, the palace will definitely ask the king to give you a mansion." Bao Xi said, "This dowry for marriage must also be prepared in advance." ”

"We don't dare to slack off, we have long asked the people of the Fuzhong to prepare the dowry of the little girl, for fear that they are not worthy of Sima." Speaking of this, Mrs. Qi Bo also picked up the conversation naturally, and the two of them took out the big and small affairs of the wedding prepared by the mansion one by one, and finally Bao Xi suddenly asked, "I don't know how many sons and daughters Mrs. Qi Bo has?" ”

"There are two daughters and a son, and now the marriage of these two daughters is over, thanks to the blessing of the mother, there is finally a good place to go." Madame Qi Bo replied, her hand pinched the cup in her hand, her fingers lightly tapped the porcelain, and asked, "But I don't know if this son has a marriage contract?" ”

"Not yet," Lady Ziber shook her head, "and the child's mind is not on these matters, so there is no haste to deal with it." After she finished speaking, she knew what she meant by asking this, "I don't know if Niangniang knows which son-in-law has not yet married?" ”

Bao Xi pondered for a moment, "Uncle Song's daughter heard that the raw goods are fragrant and gentle, so I think it is a good choice." ”

"But I don't know if this Song Boke has the intention of marrying his daughter?" Mrs. Ziber asked immediately.

"Is there any, it all depends on the sincerity of the proposal, right?" Bao Xi asked with a smile, "After all, it's a daughter's family, so it's not good for Uncle Song to come and marry someone else, right?" However, this son is famous, and someone has brought a picture album to the palace before, but it's a pity...... In the East Palace, Qin Hou and the prince are still young, and when they are not yet married, this girl is really pleasing to watch! ”

"I have also heard that the daughter of the Song family is as beautiful as a flower, and now Uncle Song is also in the capital, I have to urge the master to talk about this family business, and the little dog should also get married, after all, it is the eldest son, and he has to do something suitable!" Mrs. Qi Bo said, sighed imperceptibly, looked Mrs. Qi Bo's eyebrows up and down, and thought in her heart, "Yes, the marriage of the children is really worrying!" ”

"It's not ......" Mrs. Qi Bo immediately agreed, the two chattered and talked a little, the dinner began to be a little warm, Mrs. Qi Bo said a few words, and she was no longer nervous, and Bao Xi started a family routine, the two talked, laughed, when Bao Xi left, it seemed to be like a sister, and agreed to meet each other next time, Bao Xi invited Mrs. Qi Bo to visit in the harem, she set up a banquet to entertain, Mrs. Qi Bo readily agreed, promised to go to the palace to pay respects after some time.

Xiuxiu helped Bao Xi into the carriage, Bao Xi lifted the curtain on the carriage with one hand, and waved her hand with Mrs. Qi Bo, her face was full of reluctance, and Mrs. Qi Bo smiled, watching the carriage go farther and farther, Bao Xi put down the curtain and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's too strange to have this morning today." ”

"At this point, I haven't retreated from the dynasty yet, I'm just afraid that I'm discussing something, right?" Xiuxiu asked.

Bao Xi nodded slightly, and guessed, "The ** of the Ten is Chu Hou's business!" ”

"Chu Hou ......" Xiuxiu repeated the name, if she was discussing the matter of Chu Hou, it would not be strange to say that it had been so long, "Niang Niang wants to be a matchmaker for the son-in-law of the Song family, but in order to break the relationship between Concubine Song and Mrs. Chu, let the two dislike each other?" ”

"No," Bao Xi shook her head, "although this son of Madame Qi Bo is not very old, he is not very famous. ”

"What fame? Isn't it that the mother also wants to be summoned into the capital for her own use? Xiuxiu asked.

"Don't you dare!" Bao Xi replied, "This Qi Shizi is a gentleman, arrogant and lascivious, greedy for women, there are many women in the family, although the marriage is not decided, but he is well versed in the affairs of men and women, so famous, this marriage is difficult to agree." As for the daughter of Song Bo...... is really a beautiful woman with a gentle temperament. ”

"Didn't that lady hurt her?" Xiuxiu blurted out and asked, and then immediately covered her mouth, "Niangniang should have arranged it freely, right?" ”

Bao Xi smiled, "This daughter is Uncle Song's young daughter, so Uncle Song loves her more, no matter what Concubine Song and Mrs. Chu plan, it is inevitable that there will be a marriage between the two countries." ”

"Now that Niangniang has said that Qi and Song's marriage, Song and Chu can't make an appointment for marriage again?" Xiuxiu asked.

Bao Xi shook her head, "When Mrs. Qi Bo talked about it, didn't I just say that whether or not to marry depends on the sincerity of the person who asks for marriage?" I didn't say that I asked the king to marry the two, so it can only be that Qi Bo say a family affair and Chu Hou say a family affair, depending on how Uncle Song chooses! ”

"Anyway," Xiuxiu pondered for a moment, "Although Chu Hou has a punishable heart, after all, he puts all his thoughts on the government and politics, and the affairs of men and women are rarely mentioned, and his appearance is even more magnificent...... How do you look at it, marrying Chu Hou is much better than marrying Qi Shizi, right? ”

"Yes!" Bao Xi nodded, "No matter how Uncle Song chooses, after all, he has offended one of the princes, and they are wrestling with each other, and the king can sit back and relax for some time!" ”

"I see!" Xiuxiu laughed, "Niangniang is really thoughtful, so if there is a gap between Concubine Song and Mrs. Chu, she will no longer be able to plan and succeed?" ”

"I'm a little hesitant," Bao Xi sighed as she looked at Xiuxiu.

"...... What to hesitate about? Xiuxiu asked puzzled.

"What Mrs. Chu and Concubine Song are planning, I can guess it, Mrs. Chu is stubborn, strong, stubborn, and willful, and the king is gradually annoyed by this, but after all, she is a person who the king has brought back from afar and grew up together, and her understanding of the king may not be lost to me, if she is a little restrained, the king may not like it again." Bao Xi said softly, sitting in the carriage with a trance-like expression, "And this atroverted thing is what Concubine Song is good at, and the cooperation between the two is nothing more than Concubine Song helping Mrs. Chu to be favored, and Mrs. Chu helping Concubine Song to do the position of this lady...... "Things are like a mess, there are several threads, and there seem to be many ways to draw threads, but no one knows what will be what will be drawn out of the thread that is caught?"

"Look at what Niangniang is worried about, the king is the only one in his heart and eyes, how can he still take others to heart?" Xiuxiu said with relief, but she felt wrong when she said this, how could Bao Xi be a person who would be jealous and jealous, "Isn't it that Niangniang wants to let this king out?" ”

"Mrs. Chu loves the king deeply, if this love can be reciprocated, she will definitely defend the interests of the king desperately, and the position of the Marquis of Chu will be in jeopardy." Bao Xi said, Xiuxiu can understand this, but she still can't help but ask, "People's hearts are not goods, Niang Niang did this, pushing the king out, how should the king understand this matter in his heart?" ”

"That's why I'm a little hesitant!" Bao Xi's breath trembled slightly, "There are too many things to worry about now, and I can't always find a good way to do things after thinking about it." Forget it......" she sighed, "I'll leave that for now, right?" After returning to the palace, first listen to how the king is in the early court. ”

"Yes!" Xiuxiu nodded, her expression revealed a trace of worry, but it was inconvenient to say more, she could understand this kind of thought, if it was to make Mrs. Chu favored in favor of the king's ambition, if it was her, she would not hesitate to sacrifice her personal interests to fulfill Mrs. Chu. It's a pity...... People's hearts just can't be understood by the gains and losses of interests, now they can only take one step at a time, maybe there is no need for the fulfillment of praise, Mrs. Chu can also be favored, if the truth is so, it is not as good as praise and concession.

On this day, the morning court retreated very late, Bao Xi and Xiuxiu came back from lunch in the Qi Mansion, and still did not see the shadow of the king, so Bao Xi sent someone to the front hall to inquire about the news, and by the way to see when he could retire from the court, so as to instruct the dining room to prepare the king's meal. The people who heard the news came several times and passed back the things that were being discussed in the main hall, which was nothing more than whether the Marquis of Chu withdrew his troops or not, and how to reward the dog Rong for this defeat? The Marquis of Chu asked for several cities in the Qin State, but I am afraid that I can't give it, and the two of them are in a see-saw situation on this matter, and they are unable to draw a conclusion.

The sun was gradually sinking in the west, and then it was almost submerging in the horizon, and the news of the front hall hurriedly came back to report that Bao Xi had retired from the court today, and the matter had not yet reached a conclusion, so it had to be left as a topic for tomorrow. Before the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, there must be a conclusion on this matter, either the king took a step back and gave up the interests of the Qin State, or the Marquis of Chu took a step back and gave up these cities.

How will Himenomiya decide?

How will Chu Hou decide?

If Ji Gongyan decides to take a step back and sacrifice the interests of this Qin State, I am afraid that it is fundamental, and the Marquis of Chu will successfully separate the relationship between Qin Hou Yingkai and Ji Gongyan, so that Yingkai knows that the so-called goodwill of the King of Zhou to the princes is nothing more than pushing the princes out when necessary to prevent disasters for himself. After hearing this, Bao Xi could imagine the feeling of tension in the court today, and the crowd rushed out of the front hall and walked towards the palace gate in a black manner.

In recent days, Uncle Zhao has been full of sadness, since he came back from hunting in the wilderness, Ji Gongyan no longer looks for himself to deal with the important affairs of the court, and rarely asks for his own opinions. I'm afraid it's a matter of the hunting ground, Ji Gongyan thought that he said it, and his trust in himself in the past was no longer there, Chuhou Xiong Yi caught up with the steps of Uncle Zhao in front of him, and walked side by side, "In the past few days, Zhao Shangqing's face is not very good-looking!" ”

"Chu Hou?" Uncle Zhao was stunned, looked at the people around him and greeted.

Chu Hou smiled and nodded, "Completely different from Zhao Shangqing, this Father Yu Shi has a spring breeze, he should be very respected, very proud, right?" ”

"Hasn't Father Yu always been like this?" Uncle Zhao said, and he was wary of Xiong Yi in his heart.
