Ji Gongyan's fire-like temperament finally calmed down under Xiuxiu's words, and most of the anxious emotions in his chest disappeared for a while, and his brain was finally able to function as usual, he looked at Xiuxiu and asked, "Widow Nian'er...... Isn't it too much? ”

Xiuxiu nodded.

"What about Uijiu?" Ji Gongyu continued to ask.

"It's too much, it's just a child, a child who wants to behave in front of the king, in order to get the king's attention, you just don't give Yijiu enough, the more tyrannical and extreme he is, and the more he turns his disappointment with you into hatred for his mother. Does the king now want to destroy his second son with his own hands? Xiuxiu asked.

"What should the widow do?" Ji Gongyu asked.

"The concubine doesn't know," Xiuxiu said truthfully, "It's just that between men, the concubine thinks she can say anything honestly and unfairly, doesn't she?" ”

"Where the hell are they?" Ji Gongyu looked at Xiuxiu and asked, "You must know." ”

"On the edge of the Qingshui River, Empress Bao left with Nian'er, so I sent someone to follow them back to report a letter, Empress Bao just took Nian'er to play, and the king didn't have to take it to heart." Xiuxiu said, instead of easing Ji Gongyan's mood, these words seemed to add fuel to the fire, making his mood that had just calmed down "rub" and ignited the fire again, "Play? Still in the mood to hang out at this time? ”

"The King?" Xiuxiu screamed, trying to make Ji Gongyan regain her composure, she knew why Bao Xi would take Nian'er to play, she just wanted to give Nian'er an ordinary childhood, Xiuxiu heard their conversation, and now this explanation is in her mouth, but she just didn't say it, "Xu Nian'er went with Niangniang, right?" ”

"Central?" Ji Gongyan's hands were tightly clasped together, "If she wants to play, she will play, and if she wants to leave the palace, she will leave the palace, and in the future, she will not be the prince, will she not do it?" It's better to just go out of the palace and live the life of idle clouds and wild cranes! The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and finally he turned around and strode towards the Qingshui River.

Nian'er was spearing fish with a fork, and his unskilled craftsmanship made him have little effect, and he couldn't catch a fish for a long time. Bao Xi called Nian'er on the shore, "No, let's go back, right?" Change the ...... I'll teach you this matter another day, and Brother Dutu will teach you? ”

"No!" Nian'er said stubbornly, "I can do it." After he finished speaking, he quickly forked into the water, several times he tried to find some doorways, now the fork into the water, and his own position will have a little deviation, is this little deviation, repeatedly made him lose his head, several adjustments this time stunned fork to a rainbow trout, Nian'er was full of excitement and jumped and screamed, but forgot that the stones in the river are very slippery, he stumbled over, fluttered on the water a few times and did not move.

Bao Xi's heart tightened, and she rushed towards the river, shouting on the shore, "Nian'er! Nian'er ......"

The water surface was calm, I couldn't see that someone had fallen into the water just now, and the large splash that had just been splashed had fallen into silence at the moment, Bao Xi was in a hurry, and jumped into the river without thinking about it, and Ji Gongyan, who had just arrived in the distance, saw this, and was also in his heart, as if he was scratched by someone's heart, and shouted, "Bao Xi......" The emotions that were still burning in anger just now have disappeared most of them at this time, and now he only cares about Bao Xi's safety and why she jumped into the river...... He rushed towards the riverbank, and Bao Xi was fluttering in the water, the water was not too deep, she was still able to stand firm, but her heart was anxious like an ant on fire, tears kept rolling in her eyes, "Nian'er...... Nian'er ...... You're coming out, don't scare your mother, where are you? She shouted, and tears fell into the river.

Hearing Bao Xi shout like this, Ji Gongyan's heart was also in a daze, but before he could rush over, he heard a childish shout popping out of the river, "Niang ......" Nian'er jumped out of the water, holding a bright red rainbow trout in her hand, jumped up and hugged Bao Xi's neck, her legs were tightly clamped around her waist, kissing her cheek, "Mother...... Nian'er is fine, but she just sees that her mother is unhappy and wants to tease her mother! ”

"Do you know you're scared me to death!" Bao Xi yelled at Nian'er, she had never used such a loud sound, she almost deafened Nian'er's ears, Nian'er was stunned for a moment, "Let's chirp" another kiss on Bao Xi's cheek, and then put her little face against Bao Xi's cheek, and smiled in her ear, "Hehe...... Nian'er grew up with his brother Dutu since he was a child, he is familiar with the nature of water, and he takes Nian'er to play in Zheng Guo's river, Nian'er is a fish in the water, and it will never go wrong! I'm worried about my mother, it's a child, there won't be a next time! ”

Bao Xi cried out and hugged Nian'er, "You scared your mother to death, do you know ......" She said that tears couldn't help but flow, for the first time she felt a kind of heartbreak in her liver and intestines, this fear of loss, for a while robbed her of all her senses, Nian'er hugged Bao Xi's neck and kissed her cheek lightly, "The child doesn't dare, the child won't dare in the future!" His immature voice came, like rain and dew moistening the dry earth, which made Bao Xi's heart burn with a warm feeling.

Ji Gongyan in the distance saw this, and the anger in his chest that had just stopped "soared" again, he was angry for no reason, he didn't know what he was angry about, he turned around, and went back to the Xiande Hall without even saying hello, and did not step into the East Palace again.

Bao Xi, who came back that day, was replaced with a serious illness and a high fever that did not go away. Her body was already weak, and the autumn sun was immersed in the river, and the cold river water soaked her skin, and the whole person kept shivering, unable to dispel the coldness in her heart. Bao Xi was bedridden, her body was deeply curled in the quilt, Ji Gongyan did not come to the East Palace for a few days, and the morning advice of the East Palace was canceled for a while, Xiuxiu hid in her room and didn't know whether she should come to pay her respects, let alone whether she should come to report to Bao Xi that day Ji Gongyu was angry and came to the East Palace to ask about the crime.

The news of Bao Xi's serious illness, no one dares to tell Ji Gongyan, everyone knows that the prince and the king have some disagreements these days, Ji Gongyan is in and out of the Xiande Hall every day, and has never been to the East Palace again, this anger seems to have been very widespread, and Nian'er has not been to the court for a few days, taking care of the seriously ill queen mother in the harem.

Ji Gongyan didn't know about this matter, and after the early dynasty of this day, he brought Uncle Zhao into the study of the Xiande Palace, "What did Zhao Shangqing complain about after listening to the praise of his son recently?" Ji Gongyan asked in a chatty tone, while looking at the bamboo slip in his hand.

Uncle Zhao shook his head, "Wei Chen hasn't heard of this matter yet, can I need Wei Chen to go to the East Palace?" ”

"If you don't know, forget it......" Ji Gongyan sighed, "You pay close attention to the news of the Qin State, and you pay close attention to the news of the recent days." ”

"Win away and go to the East Palace these days," Uncle Zhao said, after hesitating again and again, he still told Ji Gongyan the possibility of speculation in his heart, "After all, Win Kai has been assisting the prince for a long time, and the prince is only afraid that he is a person who misses the old feelings, and the matter of Qin Guo's transfer of troops, whether it is out of Win Kai's will or not, the prince may not let the king move his people, the king may wish to take a look at the prince's opinion on this matter, if the father and son are so evil, I am afraid that they can only let others see the joke." ”

"How can a widow be a father, do you still want you to teach?" Ji Gongyan slammed his table and made a loud noise, which made Uncle Zhao stunned for a moment, then took two steps back, bowed down to Ji Gongyan and said, "Weichen knows his mistake!" ”

"Alright, go down!" Ji Gongyan waved his hand, frowned slightly, and muttered in his mouth.

Uncle Zhao stood in place and hesitated for a long time, although he was very unwilling to offend Ji Gongyan, but he still said, "If the king wants to know the news of the prince, he might as well go to the East Palace to visit him in person, so as to know what the prince thinks in his heart." If there is any gap with Niangniang, if you are willing to explain to Niangniang, Niangniang will definitely listen. ”

"Enough!" Ji Gongyan was like a cat whose tail had been guessed, and he shouted, which made Uncle Zhao take the whole person in shock, retreated again and again, and said in his mouth, "Weichen is discussing, Weichen is discussing...... Please forgive the king...... "When he retreated to the door, he immediately turned around and walked briskly towards the outside of the Xiande Palace, which made him inexplicably remembered Yijiu and Shenhou that day, after Shenhou was abolished and Yijiu was expelled, Ji Gongyan's attitude towards the East Palace seemed to be like today.

Uncle Zhao expected that King Zhou would be disgusted with Bao Xi sooner or later, but he never imagined that at this juncture, the prince had just been established, and he was anxious to correct his new love Xiuxiu, and discussed with her several times how to arrange Xiuxiu to be a wife in Huachen Hall without causing others to discuss, and several plans proposed by Uncle Zhao, such as asking Dutu to recognize Xiuxiu as his sister or inviting other princes to come forward and accept Xiuxiu as his daughter, etc., failed to satisfy Ji Gongyan. It's like he has to give Xiuxiu the status of a lady at the moment, which is really unreasonable for the harem.

Uncle Zhao thought that what Xiuxiu lacked was an identity and a background; And what Ji Gongyan wanted to give Xiuxiu was an original her, and she sat in the position of lady justifiably. After thinking about this matter, Uncle Zhao was able to say only that, "Since ancient times, mothers are expensive by their sons, and children are expensive by their mothers, if the king wants to make Xiuxiu his wife, he is afraid that he will have to fight for Xiu Niangniang's stomach and conceive a child!" ”

King Zhou looked thoughtful, making Ji Gongyan feel disheartened for Bao Xi, this matter was also something he wanted to put Bao Xi in the back seat and did his best to think about it, but now things are still these things, but the object of thinking is completely different. Uncle Zhao was cold in his heart, just because what he had relied on over the years was nothing more than the favor that Bao Xi had received, if the king had been disgusted with Bao Xi, I was afraid that he would only have the share of repeating the mistakes of Shen Hou and being expelled from the court, and he would be replaced by a group of courtiers who were useful to Xiuxiu.

Watching Uncle Zhao take out of the Xiande Palace, Ji Gongyan's fingers lightly tapped on the table, thinking a lot in his heart, and then stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall, counting the days, he hadn't visited the East Palace for more than a week, even to see Xiuxiu should also appear.
