Chapter 138: The Monarch of the Great Shore
How many sleepless nights have always been exchanged for a reliance Bao Xi s head rested on Ji Gongyan s shoulder, her hand on his chest, her eyes slightly closed, trembling slightly, and her face rubbed against his body before she realized.
The nurse came once at night, fed Bofu, and he never cried all night, as if he was born aware of his own ill-fated fate, and Bofu This child seems more well-behaved and quieter than other children.
Ji Gongyan, like Bao Xi, also slept until dawn, and he held her hand on his chest, as if he had found a harbor to dock, without having to drift in the wind and rain. He couldn't help but reach out and take her in the crook of his arm, then leaned closer to her, staring at her features carefully.
Twenty-seven in the morning hurriedly stepped into Bao Xi's dormitory, pushed the door as usual, forgot to knock on the door, "Niang Niang......" Before she could speak, she saw Ji Gongyan lying on the bed, the two of them slept in clothes, and snuggled together. Ji Gongyan reopened the eyes that had just been closed, looked at Bao Xi who was still sleeping, made a silent gesture to Twenty-seven, gently put Bao Xi on the pillow, covered her with the futon before getting off the bed, pointed to the door, and motioned for Twenty-seven to go out and wait.
Twenty-seven Mu stood at the moment, but she didn't expect Ji Gongyan to suddenly come to Qiongtai Hall to spend the night, and she didn't receive any news, so she didn't know what to do for a while? She saw Ji Gongyan give instructions, so she nodded violently and withdrew from the door of the dormitory.
When Ji Gongyan came out of the inside, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The king forgives the sin, Twenty-seven has just returned from the Xiande Palace, so I don't know that the king has returned from the Huachen Palace." Twenty-seven was anxious to report the situation of the Xiande Hall to Niangniang, and Xiuxiu and I couldn't do many things, so I rushed in. ”
Twenty-seven said that Ji Gongyan came back to Qiongtai Palace, the word "come back" is very special, Ji Gongyan reminisced, chuckled, frowned again and asked, "What's the situation on Mrs. Zheng's side?" ”
"Last night, the medical officers of the Tai Hospital finally came back, and after completing the procedure, they are just about to ask Niangniang! I don't know where Mrs. Zheng's mourning hall should be located? Although people are walking in the Xiande Palace, the Xiande Hall is the main hall of the king, and Mrs. Zheng has always been a person from the Huachen Palace...... "Twenty-seven pursed her lips in embarrassment, she came back to ask for instructions on this matter.
"Put it in the Huachen Palace." Ji Gongyan made the master and replied.
"Yes!" Twenty-seven responded, "Then I'll go back first?" She said, gesturing out the door.
"The matter of the wake ......" Ji Gongyan spoke very slowly, and said here for a while, Twenty-seven thought he was asking her and blurted out, "I have discussed with Xiuxiu, and the two of us will take turns to guard the spirit of Mrs. Zheng." ”
"No need," Ji Gongyu shook his head, "I'll go!" ”
"This ......" Twenty-seven opened his mouth in embarrassment, looked at Bao Xi's bedroom, and then turned to look at Ji Gongyan, "I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules, there has been no precedent for the king to guard the spirit of the harem since ancient times." ”
"There are no rules, that's the widow's wife." Ji Gongyan let out a long sigh, what he owed to Mrs. Zheng had to make up for her one by one after her death, even if she could no longer receive it, he could be regarded as a peace of mind for himself. The mourning hall should be set up for seven days and seven nights, and the seventh day is Mrs. Zheng's soul return night, and she must wait for her to come back to see everything in the world she is nostalgic for, so that she can enter the earth for peace, and then set foot on the Huangquan Road, drink Meng Po soup, and never know Ji Gongyan passing by. Their fate is all in this life, and Ji Gongyan hopes that Mrs. Zheng will not marry into the royal family for the rest of her life, which is an endless disaster.
"Yes," Twenty-seven nodded, looking at Ji Gongyan's appearance, his heart couldn't help but feel a little sour, "The king...... Why didn't you come to see Madame Cheng before she died? She couldn't help but ask, "Everyone is gone, no matter how much you care, how can you feel it?" If you come to see it before you die, it's a comfort, and it's a little satisfying to go, right? ”
Ji Gongyan turned his head, his hands clenched tightly into fists.
Twenty-seven knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he couldn't help but want to ask, he was not by his side when Bao Xi had a miscarriage, and he was not by his side when Mrs. Zheng had a difficult birth, although he was a high monarch, but in the final analysis, he was also their husband, the only person they could rely on and trust, and the only person they looked forward to seeing in pain and despair.
"After dealing with the affairs of the mourning hall, I will go back to the Qiongtai Hall with Xiuxiu." Ji Gongyan didn't give any explanation to Twenty-seven, just commanded.
Twenty-seven nodded, thinking of Xiuxiu without Mrs. Zheng early in the morning, presumably to be handed over to Qiongtai Palace, she responded to Ji Gongyan, "Yes!" ”
"You are ready to prepare, after Mrs. Zheng is buried, you will marry Zheng Guo." Ji Gongyan said, as expected by Bao Xi, after Mrs. Zheng's death, it will be the turn of Twenty-seven to get married, but I am afraid that this time I will break all the rules, and even three years of filial piety will not wait for the end of the year to forcibly let Twenty-seven marry into the Zheng family, and from then on Twenty-seven will be Zheng Boyou's concubine, a princess, and Mrs. Zheng Guo, which can be regarded as the king's statement, so that those who try to impeach Zheng Boyou know his attitude.
Ji Gongyan doted on Mrs. Zheng, and introduced Zheng Qizhi as his best friend in life, now that these two have died in the west, Ji Gongyan is extremely sad, plus Bao Xi's partial help, and Twenty-seven's marriage, no one will be so eyeless. What's more, the army of Qi under the leadership of Qi Bo fought against Dongyi and was defeated one after another, if it wasn't for the timely arrival of the reinforcements of the Chu State and the return of a game for the Qi State, I am afraid that there will be no Qi State at this moment, and they will not need to talk about it at all.
In this way, it is even more difficult to criticize Zheng Qizhi, and even the previous charges that could be impeached and participated in a book have become a monument to praise virtue, everyone has suffered a loss this time, and they don't even know whose hands they fell?
Twenty-seven saluted and bowed very meekly to Ji Gongyan, expressing a kind of compliance and gratitude, and now she can face the matter of joining Zheng Guo calmly, just like the panic of Bao Xi who first entered the palace, and she grabbed Ji Gongyan tightly, and now she can deal with it freely. She stood up and exited the Qiongtai Palace, and then rushed down the steps, even if she was running, she also straightened her waist, strutted high, and tensed her face, from now on her words and deeds represented the king, is the attitude of praise.
"Twenty-seven seems to have grown up," Bao Xi said behind Ji Gongyan, who looked at his back for a long time.
"Are you awake?" Ji Gongyu nodded slightly.
Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyan and pursed her lips, "I'll go release the water, the king will take a bath and change clothes, I have to change this clothes." She looked up at Ji Gongyan, the first king passed away, the queen mother was a big man, he could have fun in the palace, and asked for beautiful women from all over the country. And now that Mrs. Zheng is negligent, he will change to a plain voice and guard her spirit in Huachen Palace, which can be regarded as giving Zheng Guo an explanation.
"Pass the widow's will to Uncle Zhao and let Zheng Boyou enter Beijing immediately, there must be no mistake!" Ji Gongyan came out of the warm water and instructed Bao Xi that he was going to keep the spirit for seven days, and the rest of the things could only be brought by Bao Xi and Uncle Zhao, who were the two people he trusted the most in this palace.
"Yes," Bao Xi responded, helping Ji Gongyan change into the clothes of the guard, he raised his hand and stood in front of her, speaking very slowly, from time to time, as if he was conducting a significant speculation, after a pause and asked, "How is Uncle Qin?" ”
Bao Xi raised her head sharply and looked at Ji Gongyan in surprise.
The news of Uncle Qin's death was also the news she got at the same time as Ji Gongyan yesterday, the two of them have been together all night, who is he asking when he says this? Bao Xi was silent for a while, then raised her head and asked, "Do you want me to go to Xuanyu Shi's father to see me?" He should have been paying attention to the affairs of Uncle Qin's Mansion all night, and the people in the palace might have put all their thoughts on Mrs. Zheng. ”
"No need, the widow doesn't want anyone to disturb Madame." Ji Gongyan shook his head and sighed.
"The concubines will pay attention," Bao Xi said, continuing to focus on Ji Gongyan's plain clothes, "According to the etiquette of the princes, Uncle Qin needs to be sent to the State of Qin for burial, and it just so happens that Yingde is here, and it is only appropriate for him to send Uncle Qin back to the fiefdom, but this time Yingde entered Beijing, it should not be for this matter." ”
"He didn't know that Uncle Qin would die before he came!" Ji Gong snorted coldly.
"Do you need him to send Uncle Qin back to the fiefdom?" Bao Xi asked, unsure of how Ji Gongyan arranged the war in Qi State.
Ji Gongyan nodded and pulled Bao Xi, "You don't want to confront Qin Guo head-on, ask Uncle Zhao to take Father Yu Shi!" You just need to pass the order down, Yingde is not a fuel-efficient lamp, everything is handled by the widow," he held the face of Baoxi, his face was extremely nervous, from this alone it can be seen that Yingde is by no means an easy person to deal with.
Bao Xi has a lot of friendship with the Qin family, and she has heard a little about Yingde, and she doesn't want to have any confrontation with Yingde from the front, so she nodded.
Bao Xi tied the last strap on her clothes, patted Ji Gongyan's wide robe, took a step back, looked up at her, her eyes were full of reverence, she pursed her lips, and her expression was very calm.
Ji Gongyan looked at himself in the mirror, compared to yesterday when he came to Qiongtai Palace, he was much cleaner, he returned to his old sturdy appearance, swept away the decadence and unbearable accumulated on his body, and soon returned to report to Ji Gongyan that the mourning hall had been set up, but Xiuxiu refused to leave Mrs. Zheng's side.
"Let her be, it's only been a few days," Ji Gongyan waved his hand and walked out of the Qiongtai Palace, Bao Xi and Twenty-Seven eyes saw Ji Gong Yan leave, his back was getting smaller and smaller, but his appearance was getting taller and taller in Bao Xi's heart.
