It's night.

The lights of the Qiongtai Hall have never been extinguished, and the orange flickering candlelight in the center of the main hall has been lit all the way to the front of Dazai Palace, and the noise has covered the silence of the night, and the pearls held by the people who come and go back and forth reflect the candlelight in front of the hall, full of luxury.

Spread the will of the king of Zhou and reward the new lord of Qiongtai Palace.

The people carried the copper plate carrying the expensive reward and shuttled through the harem, and every step was very cautious, and the eyes were firmly fixed on the tray in their hands, and they did not dare to make a mistake. Twenty-seven and Sangzhu stayed up all night, and every time they arrived, the two of them crossed the same thing on the bamboo book, and the long scroll seemed to never end.

This reward, the number of entries and the high value of the reward are unprecedented: from the phoenix hairpin, step shake to the cloth, the gorgeous costume to the jade, Huang Cong is all missing. Since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Tianzi has never had the luxury of rewarding the harem. And Ji Gongyan's reward for Bao Xi even exceeded Bao Xi's due status, and even made her only stand shoulder to shoulder with herself in terms of etiquette, above anyone else in the harem.

What's more, Ji Gong Xuan Doctor Yin Qiu entered the palace and entered the palace, the doctor who was still asleep hurriedly got up from the bed, hurriedly changed into court clothes and trotted all the way to Qiongtai Palace, and after a while and a half, the sky will be slightly white, revealing a thin glow. The king of Zhou has a decree and orders the doctor Yin Qiu to write today's reward on the stone drum, and set up the stone drum outside the Qiongtai Palace.

The writing of stone drums has always been used by the Zhou Dynasty to record the virtues of meritorious officials, and to sing praises of virtue. Ji Gong ordered Yin Qiu to do this, which was to abandon the ancestral etiquette, and seemed to do everything he could to prove that he had a soft spot for Bao Xi. Throughout the night in the capital city, everyone was in a state of panic.

The guests at the door of Shenhou's mansion were in a hurry, and from Shenhou down, it was Uncle Zhao who took him as the head of the old ministers, and he brought a group of people to ask Shenhou to stay, but the door of Shenhou's mansion has been closed, and only a few people were left to reply, "The lord has already slept, please come back tomorrow." ”

And in the harem, the East Palace of Empress Shen is also quiet. It's just that the candle flame has not been extinguished in the entire Hou Palace, and the ladies and concubines in each room are pacing uneasily, King Zhou's performance is too abnormal, and everyone is curious about what method this new lord of Qiongtai Hall used to charm the king so much.

Madame Qin sat in front of the hall with a solemn and pale expression, holding a porcelain cup in her hand, her eyes staring at the calm water surface but forgetting to sip.

"Mrs. Qin?" The woman standing beside her whispered.

Madame Qin put down the glass of water dissatisfiedly, looked up at the woman who called her, and frowned, as if complaining that she had interrupted her contemplation.

"Why don't you go to Shenhou to find out?" The woman asked.

"No, you don't." Mrs. Qin stood up, "Tell them to turn off the lights, I'm sleepy." ”

"This is not an unusual act of the king," reminded the woman, "the king has always been very fond of his wife, but I am afraid that if this new lord takes the king's heart, the king will not come again." ”

"Since I had that madwoman, the number of times the king has come to me has been very small, do you still need to worry about this?" Mrs. Qin reprimanded coldly, the crazy woman she scolded in her mouth was the lady Zheng who was extremely favored by the king, she was pampered and arrogant and often rampant in the harem, and she was rude to Empress Shen, and she made countless enemies in the palace in just one year. If this child is born and happens to be a boy, the mother will definitely be more expensive than the child.

"Madame, don't say that, the king is just ......" The woman wanted to persuade one or two more, but Mrs. Qin stretched out her hand, "Some people are more anxious than me, I'm not in a hurry!" She smiled coldly and walked towards her bedroom, where the palace where Madame Qin lived had all the lights extinguished.

Immediately followed by the East Palace of Empress Shen, then Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Zheng, and gradually the entire harem was pitch black, leaving only the Qiongtai Hall alone.
