Xiuxiu looked at Bao Xi's calm expression and was a little surprised, and took a deep breath but didn't know what to say? There seemed to be some willfulness in Bao Xi's words, but she was never a willful person, Xiuxiu hesitated for a long time before asking, "Is it ...... What happened last night? ”

Bao Xi shook her head, "I just feel tired." ”

Xiuxiu understood the meaning of these words, because Mrs. Zheng also once said that in this harem, the matter of hypocrisy and wrongdoing is the most troublesome. But she has always regarded Bao Xi and Mrs. Zheng as two completely different people, thinking that Mrs. Zheng felt that the difficult days were just an understatement here in Bao Xi, but now Bao Xi said these words, Xiuxiu realized that Bao Xi and Mrs. Zheng are just an ordinary woman who loves Ji Gongyan, and no one has an iron heart and can be invulnerable.

No matter how strong a person is, he will always hold on to it, and sooner or later he will not be able to hold it out.

"It's been three months, and the king will definitely come back before the Spring Festival next year." Xiuxiu looked at Bao Xi and comforted, "If you give up like this now, won't your previous efforts be in vain?" ”

"There is no difference between the king coming back and not returning, and the days in this palace have no end until he dies." Bao Xi shook her head.

"But the king gave you the harem before leaving, and now he doesn't care about it......" Xiuxiu's words were not finished, and Bao Xi interrupted her, "Didn't he leave me here and leave it alone?" ”

"Niangniang is angry with the king?" Xiuxiu looked at Bao Xi and asked, as if she didn't expect Bao Xi to have such a side.

"I'm just a chess piece in their hands, no one cares whether a chess piece lives or dies, and the chess player only wants to win the whole game." Bao Xi looked at Xiuxiu and said, this made Xiuxiu frown and asked, "They?" ”

Bao Xi nodded.

"What did the mother say...... Is it Zhao Shangqing? Xiuxiu seems to have come back to this taste, Bao Xi is not angry with others, but with her uncle, she and Uncle Zhao have a main harem and a main government, but in the end, Bao Xi still has to obey Uncle Zhao's orders, and now she is probably fed up.

Bao Xi neither admitted nor denied it, which made Xiuxiu know that she guessed * not far from ten, "But what about the king?" If Niangniang is angry with Zhao Shangqing and throws the king's instructions aside, then after the king returns to the dynasty after the victory, what do you have to feel when she sees the mess in the Qiongtai Palace? ”

"He never asked me to take care of the harem in a harmonious manner," Bao Xi said, and the step she has come to now is just her own initiative, "that is, when I come back and see that the harem is happy, I am afraid that the king will not be happy at all, in this case, why should I disobey their will, what they want me to do, I can do it, and I don't have to work so hard." ”

Xiuxiu opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, so she had to close her mouth again and eat the food in her mouth, Bao Xi's expression was indifferent, she couldn't see what she was thinking, and she couldn't say whether these words were angry or serious? Bao Xi was chewing the food in her mouth, and she was still thinking, if sleeping with Bao Hongde could show the movements of the Qin State, would Uncle Zhao still send him to his brother's bed?

She felt that Ji Gongyan couldn't do this kind of thing, but Uncle Zhao could! In comparison, Uncle Zhao is the one who is more unscrupulous in order to win or lose.

"What if Zhao Shangqing wants to see Niangniang?" Xiuxiu looked at Bao Xi and asked, Bao Xi said without thinking, "I don't see." ”

"Yes!" Xiuxiu had to do as she was told.

In this way, Bao Xi really passed more than half a month of idle days, including the Spring Festival, other palaces, other palaces were full of lights, only the Qiongtai Hall was gloomy, and the people who came to visit were also blocked out of the door. It's just that on the night of the New Year's Eve, Bao Xi called the whole hall to eat a meal of shabu-shabu, and the breath in his mouth was full of white smoke, filling the banquet.

The closure of the Spring Festival has aroused the suspicion of many people.

In the first few days, the people who came to visit were relatively large, but they were all blocked by Xiuxiu, and then there were fewer and fewer people. People's memories always seem very limited, and the praise does not appear, and after a long time, the suspicion is gone, and it becomes a faint forgetting. Only Bao Hongde still came to the door every day, trying to get Bao Xi's forgiveness, he took countless excuses for himself, but Xiuxiu prevaricated with a sentence of "not seeing" every day, so that he couldn't even see Bao Xi's face. In this way, the guilt in his heart is increasing day by day, and the hatred for Ji Gongyan is also circling up.

Shen Hou didn't come over anymore, but occasionally sent someone over to ask about the situation, she began to worry that Bao Xi's closed-door thank you was someone behind the move, although Xiuxiu said that she was seriously ill, but maybe she was actually under house arrest. Therefore, every day of the pilgrimage, Empress Shen always has to take a closer look at Mrs. Qin, and now that Bao Xi is closed, the happiest person is Mrs. Qin, which makes Empress Shen feel more and more that something big should happen.

Uncle Zhao also came twice, but Xiuxiu blocked the door, "Niangniang said she didn't see anyone!" ”

"Including me?" Uncle Zhao asked.

"Anyone naturally includes Zhao Shangqing!" Xiuxiu nodded, this made Uncle Zhao frown, "When is Niangniang going to open the door to meet people?" ”

"Niangniang has no such plans!" Xiuxiu said.

Uncle Zhao clenched his fists violently, "What did Niangniang tell you?" ”

"Niangniang said that she didn't see anyone, and she didn't say the reason no matter how she asked." Xiuxiu looked at Uncle Zhao and said, "Lord Shangqing, please don't embarrass us little ones, if the master is unhappy, pull us to kill and fight, it's all according to their wishes." Niangniang's words are ordered, I dare not disobey, and I hope Zhao Shangqing will forgive me. ”

"Twenty-seven's letter from Zheng Guo has arrived, hand it over to her!" Uncle Zhao handed Xiuxiu a sealed letterhead in a bamboo tube.

"Yes!" Xiuxiu replied.

"When will she be willing to see someone, send someone to Dazaigu to call me!" Uncle Zhao said, brushing his sleeves and turning around.

"Yes!" Xiuxiu only had time to respond to Uncle Zhao's back, and at this moment, Bao Xi was sitting next to Nian'er with the little doll with the bolted line and teasing Nian'er in the air, causing him to let out a "giggle" laugh, Nian'er is getting bigger and bigger, and the child who is less than a year old is growing crazy every month, and his appearance is becoming more and more exquisite, not like the folds of being born.

Xiuxiu thanked the guest, turned back to the dormitory, looked at Bao Xi and said, "Zhao Shangqing came here just now!" ”

"Well," Bao Xi nodded, didn't even ask what he said, what Uncle Zhao would say, Bao Xi's heart was as clear as a mirror, her eyes seemed to have only room for Nian'er alone, if it was said that the king was victorious at this moment, I don't know if the king asked to see, Bao Xi saw or not? But it is not unheard of for Bao Xi to turn away Ji Gongyan, Xiuxiu pinched the cloth in her hand, looked at Bao Xi and thought for a long time before she spoke, "It was said that Twenty-Seven sent someone to send a letter." ”

"Show me." Bao Xi said, even the letterhead is too lazy to read, in addition to teasing Nian'er is eating and sleeping in the past few days, her weak body has slowly plumped up.

Xiuxiu shook off the cloth, sighed, sat on the side and unfolded the cloth, Twenty-seven never mentioned his own good and bad in his heart, and talked about what happened to Zheng Guo. Since the last time he said that he would go with the flow, Zheng Guo's situation has become more and more bleak, Zheng Guo's scholars have set aside Zheng Bo's rights, and the orders he issued have fallen on deaf ears, and only one or two cronies around him can be regarded as useful.

The alliance with the Jin State made Zheng Guo's national strength grow rapidly in a short period of time, so to a certain extent, it was judged that Zheng Bo was an incompetent monarch who did not know how to judge the situation. Zheng Boyou tried to turn the tide, but he couldn't do it, and he stayed closed in the study all day long.

Xiuxiu looked at it and laughed out loud.

Bao Xi turned to Xiuxiu and looked at her, "What's wrong?" Zheng Guo's problem solved? ”

"No," Xiuxiu smiled and shook her head, "Jungkook's problem is even more serious. ”

"And you're still laughing?" Bao Xi was a little puzzled.

"Twenty-seven letters said that Uncle Zheng closed himself in the study all day long, and everything in the world is a coincidence." Xiuxiu looked at Bao Xi and said, "This Zheng Bo and Niangniang's behavior just happened to be accepted, it is enough to see that Zheng Guo's affairs are becoming more and more difficult now, Niangniang really doesn't plan to care?" ”

"I just want to manage it, but I'm afraid that I have more than enough heart and not enough power." Bao Xi sighed and shook her head.

"If it doesn't matter, Zheng Bo loses the power of his own princes in Zheng State, then Twenty-seven will also be implicated in the end, but I'm afraid that life will not be easy." Xiuxiu said.

"Uncle Zheng is gentle as jade by nature, I'm afraid that if he is a Situ, he will still be competent, and it is also a good choice to ask him to give advice and become a doctor and sergeant, but to take the power in his hands and be a prince and a hegemon, I am afraid that Uncle Zheng is too far behind." Bao Xi shook his head, what Zheng Boyou lacked was ruthlessness and iron fist, and all this was a bit excessive in his weak brother, so it was no wonder that Ji Gongyu would choose Zheng Qizhi instead of Zheng Boyou.

"But just leave it alone, Zheng Guo is just afraid that it will be chaos." Xiuxiu said.

"Let it go, it's not my turn anyway," Bao said.

Xiuxiu had no choice but to nod, took the cloth and asked, "How do you reply to Twenty-Seven?" ”

"Let's put it there for now, I'll talk about it another day, I'm tired, I'm going to rest!" Bao Xi stood up and told the nurse to come and nurse Nian'er, she turned around and walked out of the room, Xiuxiu followed, "But Niang Niang has just gotten up?" ”

"I'm sleepy again." Bao Xi yawned and walked towards the dormitory, Xiuxiu looked at the cloth in her hand embarrassedly, and frowned, this letter Uncle Zhao probably hasn't read it yet, because the wax seal on the bamboo tube is still intact when it is sent, maybe he thinks that the topic of the two women's family is not suitable for a big man, but he doesn't know that there are some big things hidden in this cloth.

Xiuxiu made up her mind, and after seeing Bao Xi enter the dormitory, she hurried towards Dazai Palace, and now that Zheng Guo is in crisis, she, as Zheng Guoren, must not let the situation develop, Bao Xi is unwilling to act, so Uncle Zhao, who is the lord of Dazai Palace, should not ignore it, right?
