Chapter 484: The world is unpredictable
Mrs. Chu's words were scathing, and she wanted to turn her sentences into a knife and stick it in Bao Xi's chest, she already knew that the feng shui in this harem took turns, and no one could dominate the king's sole favor for a lifetime, but she could also imagine that Bao Xi's fall from grace would never come so quickly, the king's love for Bao Xi would not be cold, if the king loved Bao Xi, Mrs. Chu might still feel fair in her heart.
Bao Xi is Bao Jue's daughter, she has given her the best since she was a child, she can sing and dance, her posture is enchanting, and she is knowledgeable...... In the end, in order to save the life of his daughter, Bao Jue took the entire Bao family. No one knows what Bao Jue thinks in his heart, maybe he feels indebted, maybe this is a way for him to be loyal to this dynasty, maybe ...... It's just that he already knows the end of his death, and he has nothing to do, so he has to leave something for his bloodline.
Losing to such a person, Mrs. Chu felt that she could feel better in her heart, but if she lost to Xiuxiu, a person in the Zheng Mansion, she felt that the blood in her blood was spurting, and she was restless all over her body, as if she was as uncomfortable as being clawed by a cat. In the end, she can only be the one who reaps the benefits.
Mrs. Chu looked at Bao Xi and smiled very proudly, "If you really don't care, you won't mention that I went to the enclosure with the king." Last year, in order to please you, the king did not hesitate to exempt Uncle Zheng from paying a year's tribute, this year you are still the same, but the scenery is gone, if you say that there is no sadness in your heart, who will believe it? ”
"Originally, this palace didn't care or didn't care about it for you to believe," Bao Xi looked at Mrs. Chu and said, "The matter of the harem is all up to the king, who the king favors and rewards, even if the palace is the head of the harem, it should not be asked, if there are no rules in the harem, it will definitely be messed up!" ”
"After complimenting the rules, isn't it ridiculed?" Mrs. Chu sneered, since she entered the palace, she has been a person without rules, arrogant and domineering, no one in her eyes, relying on the king's favor to step on the bottom line of the harem again and again, but at this moment she mentioned the word rules with Mrs. Chu, which made Mrs. Chu feel extremely funny.
"Oh?" Bao Xi looked at Mrs. Chu, "The women of the harem have always been conscientious in their duties, Mrs. Chu said, when did there be no rules in the palace?" Is it that things are not done in accordance with the etiquette law, or the employment is not recorded in accordance with the etiquette law, which one of the big and small affairs in the harem do I have...... What is it that is not in order? ”
This sentence made Mrs. Chu speechless for a while, and there were many small problems with the praise, but there was never a major problem with the principle, and she never said that with her cold temperament, she simply canceled the worship in the harem...... After thinking about it so carefully, Mrs. Chu sighed twice and changed her words, "When you enter the palace late, you may not know everything, but I am afraid that you will not know it if you are deceived!" ”
"It's better not to know what you shouldn't know!" Bao Xi said, she was not interested in listening to Mrs. Chu's sale of Guan Zi at all.
"Don't even want to hear about the king and Xiuxiu?" Mrs. Chu asked.
"Not interested!" Bao Xi nodded, her eyes looked at the back of the house, she was actually more worried about Nian'er than this matter, she had not retreated, Nian'er came back in a huff, I was afraid that something had happened, nine times out of ten there was an argument with the king in the court, she wanted to care about Nian'er, but she was entangled by Mrs. Chu and couldn't pull away.
"The king had a secret affection for her as early as when Xiuxiu was serving Mrs. Zheng!" Mrs. Chu still insisted on saying, "The king's preferences, even if others don't know, you should know that Mrs. Zheng is tricky and willful, flamboyant and domineering, Xiuxiu is gentle and obedient, the king is because of the relationship between Concubine Rong, so he has to hold her in the palm of his hand, and naturally he is angry with Mrs. Zheng. ”
"I like it!" Bao Xi nodded.
That's it, the king secretly had feelings for Xiuxiu, but he was afraid that Mrs. Zheng was a jealous woman, so he took Sangzhu to test it, and sure enough, Mrs. Zheng did not spare Sangzhu, so she was discouraged from Xiuxiu. In the future, when you entered the palace, it was not a coincidence that the king arranged Sangzhu in the Qiongtai Palace, but he wanted to test you with his heart, you are not like Mrs. Zheng, jealousy is not written on your face, you actually tolerated Sangzhu for so long, and finally got rid of her by Mrs. Zheng's hand. Mrs. Chu told the story of the past, stared at Bao Xi and explained in detail, obviously talking about Bao Xi, but what she explained was as if it was her own experience, Bao Xi herself seemed to be a spectator, sitting on the side and looking at Mrs. Chu, by the way, she asked, "Oh? Is it? ”
"Do you want to deny that you killed Sangzhu?" Mrs. Chu asked, "After Mrs. Zheng died, all the big and small people around her were buried, but Xiuxiu was the only one left. ”
"The king pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade?" Bao Xi followed Mrs. Chu's words.
"Yes, the king is reluctant to be ruthless to Xiuxiu, and staying by your side is to wait for Xiuxiu to give Xiuxiu a name one day. If today's time and location are just right, Xiuxiu has become a female queen, and the next step is to be a lady, and then rise step by step. Mrs. Chu looked at Bao Xi meaningfully.
"Oh? Step by step, I had to give way to her! Bao Xi said.
"Do you think there won't be such a day?" Mrs. Chu asked.
"What does Mrs. Chu think?" Bao Xi asked rhetorically.
"You just pretend that you don't care with me, can you not be disturbed in the slightest? The king favors Xiuxiu, this relationship is not trivial, the king loves you well, but he loves you so he shouldn't do it to the people around you, but now he doesn't care about your feelings and moves his favor for Xiuxiu from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, do you think ...... Which is more important to the two of you? What's more......" Mrs. Chu looked at Bao Xi up and down, "You can't have children now, you can't conceive children, but Xiuxiu is different...... If she has a son and a half daughter, do you think you can keep your position as a son? It's a good thing to be like a show. ”
"Which point?" Bao Xi asked.
"You're not as obedient as her." Mrs. Chu said.
"Thank you Mrs. Chu for pointing out the shortcomings of this palace, it's just that the internal affairs of my East Palace are upside down, and I can't allow others to point fingers!" Bao Xi looked at Mrs. Chu and said word by word, Xiuxiu is a person from the East Palace, no matter how she looks at her, she can't help others to come and say irresponsible things, not to mention that Mrs. Chu's words are true and false, Bao Xi is very clear in her heart, just like the king's speculations about himself that day, it is easy to push the process from the end, but it is because this process is pushed down too smoothly that it seems full of loopholes, Bao Xi did not mention this to Mrs. Chu, just stretched out her hand and looked out of the door, "Mrs. Chu, please?" Don't tell me to call someone to drop off guests! ”
"I don't know what to do!" Mrs. Chu watched Bao Xi pop out these four words from between her teeth, then flicked her sleeves and walked towards the door, suddenly stopped when she walked to the door, and turned to look at Bao Xi with a meaningful smile, "You believe me, sooner or later, one day, this Xiuxiu is going to fly on the branch to be a lady!" ”
"Thank you, Mrs. Chu, for the mention!" Bao Xi said, watching Mrs. Chu go farther and farther, the tense nerves were completely relaxed, and then walked towards Nian'er's room, before he could walk in, he saw Nian'er running towards his room, just now he was behind the main hall listening to the conversation between Mrs. Chu and Bao Xi.
"Nian'er?" Bao Xi called.
Nian'er, who was running wildly, heard the queen mother calling herself, and immediately stopped and turned her face to look at Bao Xi, who walked steadily to Nian'er's room without any change in the speed under her feet, called Nian'er in, and told him, "Close the door!" ”
Nian'er turned her head and closed the door, then walked over and knelt in front of Bao Xi, "Nian'er didn't deliberately eavesdrop on Mrs. Chu's conversation with her mother, it's just ...... It's just that Nian'er saw that the morning was gone, and she wanted to go to her mother, so she went over, and happened to hear what you said. ”
"What are you looking for me?" Bao Xi nodded slightly, and pulled up Nian'er on the ground.
"The child is not behaving well in the court today, Nian'er is afraid of affecting the queen mother, so she asks her father to scold!" Nian'er said aggrievedly, the six-year-old child's immature little face was full of grievances, and she snuggled in Bao Xi's arms, "Mother...... The child doesn't want to be a prince anymore, it's too much pressure to be a prince, what do you do, everyone watches, so that Nian'er's hands are not hands, feet are not feet, and now I don't know how to do it! ”
"You argued with your father in the court?" Bao Xi asked.
"Nope!" Nian'er shook her head and bit her lower lip.
"Tell the truth!" Bao Xi said.
Nian'er lowered her head and nodded, "Father asked me if Jin Bo Qixuan said that the Jin Kingdom has been plagued for many years, and next year's New Year's tribute can be less, Nian'er felt that it was okay, so he said yes...... But Zhao Shangqing mentioned that Nian'er couldn't say that, and Nian'er felt that other countries had never mentioned this matter, and it was not good for Jin to set a precedent, so he came back with half of the child's previous words, and his father was quite dissatisfied with the child, so that the child didn't know and didn't express his opinion. ”
"And then?" Bao Xi touched Nian'er's hair and asked.
And then ...... Then someone said that the Qin soldiers were now stationed on the border between the Qin State and the Shen State, and the father felt that the Qin soldiers were trying to help Yijiu seize the position of the crown prince, so he questioned Uncle Qin. Yu Shangqing asked me to speak, I was terrified, I only thought about what made my father angry just now, where did I know whether Uncle Qin had the intention of rebellion, I panicked...... So I told my father that I had no ideas and didn't want to express my opinion, so my father got angry and fought with the child! He said and put his face in Bao Xi's arms, "The child didn't pay attention in his heart, whether Uncle Qin was a trustworthy person or not, and the child didn't know, why did everyone come to ask the child's opinion?" The child is only six years old...... "The more Nian'er talked, the more sad she became, and in the end, she simply cried "wow", and coquettishly in Bao Xi's arms.
