Chapter 279: Harem Woman, Jealous
Bao Xi can no longer be regarded as an ordinary harem woman for Ji Gongyan, she knows too many things, knows him too deeply, and these are not what he told her word by word, but were broken and discovered by her one by one, Bao Xi is like his left hand and right hand to Ji Gongyan, if he really wants to force her to die for him one day, then his heart must be more unbearable and reluctant than others, and he doesn't even know if he can survive her departure?
Several near-death experiences in the past had made him very frightened.
But he is not only a man, but also the monarch of a country, and what he carries on his shoulders can never be just a child's love. The Great Zhou Dynasty was held back by the various forces of the princes, and the foreign enemies were getting stronger, and the Dog Rong and the Southern Barbarians were eyeing this fertile hinterland. What he wants to do is not just a monarch in the center, but more importantly, he still has the ambition to dominate the world in his heart.
So in a way, they're similar. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to ask Ji Gongyan to be forced to marry Qi Ji, his cheek rubbed against her neck, and said in a whisper-like tone, "The widow can only allow you, even if you can't sleep together in life, you must be in the same hole in death." ”
"That's enough," Bao Xi said softly, very calmly.
……
After Ximen sent him back to the palace, the people of Dazaigong had already waited in the Huachen Hall to wait for Ji Gongyan, and the preparations for the two days of worship were continuous, and he hurriedly sent Bao Xi back to the Xiande Hall and walked towards the Huachen Palace. And after Bao Xi returned to the palace and thought about it, she sent someone to the East Palace to ask if it had been cleaned up over there?
Huanying hurriedly went, turned back after getting the words, and replied to Bao Xi, "The people in the East Palace said that the dormitory has been cleaned up, and it is only waiting for the Niangniang to move into the East Palace after the ceremony!" ”
"Don't wait," Bao Xi said, getting up, "I'll move now." ”
"Now?" Huanying asked in surprise, "Didn't you say at the beginning that you would wait until the end of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony?" ”
Bao Xi's fierce eyes stared at the ring warbler, and the ring warbler closed her mouth and stopped asking, "Yes, Niangniang!" That...... Who do you want to take with you, the man of the Hall of Virtue? ”
"Except for you, the rest of the people continue to stay in the Hall of Virtue!" Bao Xi said, looking up and down a circle of ring warblers, she was anxious to move in order to make room for Ji Palace, so that he could return to Xiande Hall from Huachen Hall to deal with his affairs, Concubine Cai was waiting from the side, Bao Xi was always a little uneasy; The second is that you can hold a morning ceremony and set up a banquet to entertain Qi Bo in the East Palace to discuss the matter of marrying Qi Ji.
And once Ji Gongyan often goes in and out of the Xiande Palace, leaving the ring warbler here, Bao Xi is also not at ease. The ringwarbler was used to being free and loose, and of course he didn't want to follow him, so he pouted his lips and said in a perfunctory tone, "Yes!" ”
"Send someone to clean up," Bao Xi instructed, "This palace will go to Huachen Hall first, and you will go directly to the East Palace after cleaning up!" ”
"Yes!" Huanying made a response, and then got up and walked in the direction of the dormitory, the steps along the way are kicking and tampling, if you go in and out of the Xiande Hall to serve the king, maybe for a long time, you still have the possibility of being pampered, in the end the appearance of the ring warbler is still delicate, who can not do the dream of flying on the branch to become a phoenix. But if you follow Bao Xi, not only will the hope of this matter become slim, but Sangzhu's experience from the past will also make Huanying dare not move.
In addition, Bao Xi always reprimanded the ring warbler, which made the ring warbler have a resentment in her heart, but there was nowhere to vent it.
Bao Xi came out of the Hall of Virtue and walked towards the Huachen Palace, the sun had already deviated from the middle position, and it was about to sink into the ground level. All the way to the gate of Huachen Palace, Bao Xi met Mrs. Chu who also came to find the king, she held the soup that had just been boiled and the food box full of meals, Mrs. Chu respectfully saluted Bao Xi, "See Niangniang, it is rare to see Niangniang come here, and I thought that Niangniang did not dare to step into this Huachen Palace!" ”
Mrs. Chu's words were about Bao Xi killing Mrs. Zheng, and Bao Xi smiled coldly on her face, "Before the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, there must always be a lady in each room who wants to bathe and change clothes and worship the ancestral tablet. This year's situation is special, I am afraid that it will be too late to burn incense and bathe for a month, and now that the palace has taken over the affairs of the harem, this matter will bother Mrs. Chu! Although the days are short, the heart is sincere, and I hope that Mrs. Chu will pray for the blessings of the people in the world, and may my ancestors of the Great Zhou be blessed and protected from the suffering of war year after year! ”
"Why me?" Mrs. Chu looked at Bao Xi dissatisfiedly and asked.
"If Mrs. Chu is unwilling to go, take the trouble to inform Mrs. Wei, now there are only two of you left in this palace, and if you don't go, she will be her!" Bao Xi replied very casually, stretched out her hand and motioned to Mrs. Chu to hand over the soup and food box in her hand to herself, but Mrs. Chu subconsciously took a step back, "I remember that a few years ago, before the king set out on the expedition, he said that since you are a country, you should always do your duty, and you shouldn't put everything on our heads, right?" ”
"Originally, it was the same, but Mrs. Chu is a newcomer in the palace after all, and everyone's eyes are staring at you! What's more, in the past two years, the king has gone on an expedition, and the palace is doing everything about bathing and burning incense every year, does Mrs. Chu think that the palace is targeting you? Bao Xi looked at Mrs. Chu and asked, Bao Xi entered the palace back then, and was criticized because of Ji Gongyan's favor, but in the past three years, her every move blocked the mouths of all the courtiers and princes, and no one was left with a handle. Xiong Ning looked at Bao Xi and nodded, stretched out his hand and handed the food box into Bao Xi's hand, and secretly slandered in his heart: Playing with you is a bit more interesting than playing with Mrs. Qin!
"There's Mrs. Lauchu!" Bao Xi looked at Mrs. Chu and said.
"I once heard that Niangniang had several miscarriages and could not conceive, since I am proficient in medical skills, I may be able to treat incurable diseases that others can't treat, after the ceremony, Niangniang might as well let me diagnose and treat?" Mrs. Chu suddenly spoke, but Bao Xi's mood did not fluctuate, she just nodded, "I am tired of Mrs. Chu, and the palace has thanked me first." ”
"It's okay, it's just a convenient thing," Mrs. Chu said, "I should really pray for my mother this time, Doctor Bao doesn't know if he is a person who knows the art of war?" The battlefield is not comparable to the court, life and death are just overnight, Niangniang must be very worried, right? ”
"Not really," Bao Xi said as she looked at Mrs. Chu, "Isn't there still General Wen Shuowen?" Since he is the person ordered by the king, he can't even hold a few Qin lands, right? Qinling occupies the natural danger, since ancient times, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if this battle is lost, it is really impossible to say! She said lightly, Xiong Ning didn't expect Bao Xi to understand this, her face was stunned, and she passed by in a flash, Bao Xi didn't continue, and made a gesture of invitation to signal Mrs. Chu to leave, Xiong Ning made a gesture of resignation, turned around but gathered all his expressions, his hands were clenched tightly, and he muttered, "You can retreat from the battle of the dog Rong, but I don't know...... What about the Nanban dispute? The corners of her mouth curled into a smile again, how did Empress Jiang get rid of Mrs. Qi back then, but now she can probably repeat her old tricks and get rid of Bao Xi.
Bao Xi pushed open the door of Huachen Palace, just as Concubine Song was in the main hall and ordered the people in the hall to clean the Huachen Palace. ”
Bao Xi greeted, Concubine Song got up and immediately walked two steps to Bao Xi and stretched out her hand to take the tray in Bao Xi's hand, Bao Xi shook her head, "No need, I will go down, and resume the daily morning ceremony tomorrow." ”
"Yes, sissy." Concubine Song responded, since Concubine Cai stood on both sides of the king every day, Concubine Song had a lot of grievances in her heart, just because she found that the person who came to the king that night was Concubine Cai instead of herself, so she was left out in the cold, and naturally she was very dissatisfied with Concubine Cai, "The king is in the study, but Niangniang is going?" ”
"Hmm!" Bao Xi nodded, and then ordered, "Then go to the palaces and halls to inform you, right?" ”
"Yes, the concubine knows. Concubine Cai is serving the king," Concubine Song said, stretching out her hand to guide Bao Xi in the direction of the study, "She just went to the dining room to serve the king's dinner, I'm afraid she wants to give the mother a heart!" ”
"It's not the intention of this palace." Bao Xi glanced at the lunch box in her hand, and said calmly to Concubine Song, the harem is treacherous, everyone wants to borrow a knife to kill people, but the seemingly calm Huachen Hall is also constantly surging inward, I hope this Qi Ji is a smart woman, otherwise she can't control other women, and she will eventually get into trouble.
Concubine Song was puzzled by Bao Xi's words, but she just nodded and didn't dare to ask more, and knocked on the door of the study.
Concubine Cai's voice came from inside, "Who?" ”
"It's me," Concubine Song said, and Concubine Cai said in place of the king, "Is there anything wrong?" The king is busy, but I'm afraid he won't have time to meet his sister. ”
"It's the queen mother who is here!" Concubine Song said, smiling slightly, her eyes full of anticipation to watch a good show. Concubine Cai inside was really taken aback, turned to the king and asked, "The king?" ”
"Go open the door!" Ji Gongyan was sitting on the chair and was flipping through the bamboo slips in her hand, Concubine Cai took advantage of this gap to mess up her hair and clothes, and trotted all the way to the door and opened the door of the study, "I don't know if the mother is coming, I miss the welcome!" ”
"I'm afraid I don't dare to bother!" Bao Xi looked at Concubine Cai and said, looking up and down at her appearance.
"The king is inside," Concubine Cai said, looking at Bao Xi's unkind face, a slight look of smugness rose in her heart, Bao Xi looked at Concubine Cai and ordered, "There is Concubine Lao Cai to help the king clean up, and he will move back to the Xiande Hall later today." ”
"What?" Concubine Cai asked, there has never been a precedent for a queen to decide when the king should live, she looked at Bao Xi in surprise, and Bao Xi turned to Concubine Song, who immediately bowed down and said, "Yes, Niangniang, the concubine understands." ”
Bao Xi waved her hand and told Concubine Song to go down, but Concubine Song pulled Concubine Cai, who was still stunned, "Don't go yet?" ”
Concubine Cai was still stunned for a moment, and was pulled back by Concubine Song, while Bao Xi pushed the door in, and Ji Gongyan's voice came from inside, and asked faintly, "With a little concubine, are you also jealous?" If you are always like this, I am afraid that the widow will not be able to bear it. ”
