Chapter 280: Princes Check and Balance
Bao Xi walked into the study, put down the lunch box in her hand, looked at the half-used dinner, and sighed softly, "You are the only king in this harem, but there are so many women, now you want to come...... It was a pity that these concubines could not be dismissed in the first place. ”
Ji Gongyan put down the bamboo slip in his hand, took Bao Xi's wrist, pulled her into his arms, and wrapped his arms around her, "But the widow has found a jealous queen for himself?" ”
"The king regrets it?" Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyu with a smile on her eyes and asked, the whole person was full of temptation.
"It's really a little bit, so that the widow can't ask Lord Yu to recruit beauties from all over the world to send them to the palace in the future?" Ji Gongyan asked, Bao Xi lay in Ji Gongyan's arms and looked up at him, "Then it depends on whether the king has mercy on these beauties, if you send one to die another, I am afraid that the ghost in this harem will not disappear in the future, but it is also strange!" ”
"You're going to be ruthless?" Ji Gongyu asked.
"The concubine can't go down," Bao Xi shook her head, "It depends on what Mrs. Chu means," she turned over and sat up, pointing to the lunch box on the table, "Mrs. Chu sent it, the concubine sent her to serve the ancestral tablet, to pray for the blessing of the world, although this day is shorter, after all, the rules set by the ancestors cannot be abolished." ”
"You can arrange the affairs of the harem," Ji Gongyan nodded, "But it's best not to have any disputes with Mrs. Chu." ”
"Got it," Bao Xi nodded, "The concubine moved back to the East Palace tonight, and the courtesy will be reopened early tomorrow morning. The Hall of Virtue is vacated for the king, and if there is no important business tonight, I will order the people to move all the king's things back, right? ”
"What? Worried about the widow pampering Concubine Cai? Ji Gongyu asked.
"The king also said that the concubine is a jealous queen." Bao Xi said, having said that, it is also to introduce unnecessary disputes for Huachen Hall as little as possible, the open and secret struggle between Concubine Song and Concubine Cai is already an indisputable fact, after all, Mrs. Zheng was the only one at the beginning, and suppressed the two concubines in the time of Huachen Palace, and now she is finally looking forward to the day of her appearance, so she tries her best to get the king's first parent, Fang Ze, and the woman's affairs Ji Gongyan is uneven, so she can only ask Bao Xi to come forward to be this bad guy.
Therefore, the queen must be jealous, otherwise the palace will be chaotic.
Ji Gongyan pinched Bao Xi's nose, "After the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, when all the princes have returned, we will go to Zheng Guo." The widow has just seen the military information that Yu Shi's father got from the Qin State, and now Qin Hou's father's old department is resisting the Dog Rong Division, and when the Wenshuo army arrives, I am afraid that the Dog Rong has been repulsed, although the casualties are heavy, it is also an iron army! ”
Bao Xi said softly, "His old troops are all dead soldiers who were born and died with him, even if all the people who died in battle, they would definitely try their best to protect the territory of the Qin State from being trampled by the iron hooves of the dogs, if it weren't for these people trying their best to protect it over the years, I'm afraid that Qin Hou wouldn't have survived until now." There has always been a grudge between Qin Hou and Yingde, and now that the king has killed Yingde, it is a great kindness to Qin Hou, and the proton incident should be beneficial to the Zhou Dynasty in the future. ”
"You are familiar with Qin Hou's father, so you will bring up this Qin Hou in the future, okay?" Ji Gongyu asked.
Only then did Bao Xi come back to her senses and understand the purpose of Ji Gongyan's move, "The king wants to win the support of as many princes as possible for Bofu?" ”
"Not bad!" Ji Gong nodded.
Bao Xi pursed her lips and bowed her head slightly, "The concubine understands." ”
"After the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, we have to go to Zheng Guo to pick up the bofu," Ji Gongyu said.
"The concubine still has one more matter, discuss with the king," Bao Xi said, "Now that you want to marry Qi Bo's daughter, you might as well let Qi Bo wait for the end of the ceremony, go back to Qi first, send Qi Ji to Zheng State, and ask Zheng Bo to witness the marriage, and the king will marry Qi Ji in Zheng State, so as to dispel Qi Bo's worries and re-marry Qi State." ”
"Qi Bo is also an ambitious person," Ji Gongyan said, "A few days ago, Zheng Qizhi came to the widow and said that this Qi Bo had come to Zheng Qizhi to tell him about his family, and it seems that he wanted to marry Zheng Guoye!" I'm afraid that I will go to the door in a few days to tell Chu Guo about my family. He snorted coldly, "Chuhou Xiongyi and Zheng Qizhi have reached the marriageable age, and they have not yet had a proper room, if you find a suitable woman, the widow will marry these two!" ”
"The daughters of the two Shangqing have also reached the age of marriage, and they are not yet married, so the king might as well give this marriage?" Bao Xi asked.
"It's not proper," Ji Gongyan shook his head, "Since it is a marriage to the princes, it is necessary to ask for the daughters of the princes." ”
"The concubine knows, she will pay attention to this matter!" Bao Xi said, if you want to balance the rights of the princes, you have to think twice about this matter, although women do not interfere in politics, but from a historical point of view, women's words often account for three points of weight, non-achievements in hegemony can not be controlled, looking at today, can have the determination to dominate the world, except for Ji Gong Yan There is really no second person!
Therefore, these princes must not be allowed to marry strongly, otherwise the Zhou Dynasty will be constrained by them.
On the day of the ceremony, Bao Xi was dressed in black clothes with gold thread, and the gold thread almost covered the entire long skirt, and the long skirt was embroidered with a hundred birds and a phoenix - meaning that Bao Xi was the master of the harem. Standing high on the altar of heaven, standing side by side with Ji Gongyan, holding incense in his hand to perform the queen's ceremony. Her title has been implemented since this day, and since then, the lord of the harem has become a concubine from the Jiang family, she seems to be a sunny and unusual scenery, but in fact, the burden on her body has become heavier and heavier.
All the princes and scholars present ...... She bowed down as much as she could, and the black pressed one leaned down at the feet of Bao Xi, her face was majestic, and her gestures were magnificent, graceful and luxurious, and her serious expression made people stay away, and she could not help but respect this queen.
At the end of the ceremony, that night was Ji Gongyan set up a banquet to entertain the ministers, the ministers and princes congratulated Bao Xi one after another, Bao Xi returned the salute one by one, she just took a sip of wine, Ji Gong Yan seemed to be very happy, and several princes pushed the cup to change the lamp, and the few princes were already a few glasses of wine in the stomach.
The first to congratulate Bao Xi was Zheng Qizhi, who looked at Bao Xi lightly, but he didn't think so. can call Ji Gongyan and Zheng Boyou, two women who fell in love with men at first sight, Zheng Qizhi injected too much imagination into such a virtual image. When I saw Bao Xiqi, I was naturally very disappointed, and I always felt that she still lacked some qualities as a queen, "Congratulations to Niangniang." ”
"I heard from the king that General Zheng is now at the age of marriage, but he doesn't have a wife. Qi Bo came to the door to say goodbye, but was rejected by General Zheng, saying that he did not want to climb a big country, but he didn't know which woman General Zheng had a crush on? Bao Xi looked at Zheng Qizhi and asked, there was a kind of anger in his eyebrows that was different from Zheng Boyou, and the arrogance in his eyes showed that he didn't put anyone in his eyes, except for the respect when he looked at Ji Gongyan and the kindness when he looked at his brother, the eyes of anyone were as cold as ice.
"If there is turmoil and war is still going on today, how can you be at home? This matter is not firmly remembered! Zheng Qizhi raised the wine in his hand and drank it all. Bao Xi covered it with long sleeves and took a sip of wine, "General Zheng is so concerned about the world is also the blessing of the king, if he has a love for the day, he may wish to talk to the palace directly, and the palace is willing to talk about the general's family affairs." ”
"Thank you, Niang!" Zheng Qizhi responded, after he retreated, he couldn't wait to come to Qi Bo, after Qi Bo congratulated Bao Xi, Bao Xi looked at Qi Bo and said, "It should be this palace to congratulate Qi Bo!" ”
Qi Bo's face immediately became nervous, "The little girl marries into the palace, and she will go in and out with the mother, and obey the orders of the mother." ”
"It's so good, this palace plans to go to the king in person," Bao Xi looked at Qi Bo and said, "I often hear the king mention Qi Ji, she is unusually beautiful and well-behaved, and this palace can't wait to see her!" ”
"Thanks to the mother's love, the little girl will never dare to snub the mother's orders." Ziber said.
"There are many disagreements between this palace and Mrs. Chu, and I don't want to cause any more trouble for myself," Bao Xi looked at Qi Bo and said, the meaning of these words was very clear, and Qi Bo immediately understood, "Weichen understands that there is still a daughter in Weichen's family, and she is about to reach the age of marriage, and she also asks her mother to be the master and talk about a family matter!" ”
"Oh? Qi Bo is really a blessing," Bao Xi said, "but I don't know Qi Ji Fangling? ”
"There are still three years to go," replied Ziber.
Bao Xi covered her mouth, Qi Ji still has three years to reach the age of marriage, but she has already planned for marriage, and she has started to get married at this moment, but she is really a parent, "Qi Bo is really ...... Foresight! ”
"Niangniang smiled, just because the little girl is stubborn and naughty by nature, and she only thinks about family affairs, she can restrain her temperament," Qi Bo said very embarrassedly, and thought for a moment, "Three years...... It's not long before this marriage is left to this palace to worry about, right? ”
"Thank you Niangniang," Qi Bo said, but he was very frightened in his heart, and always felt that since Bao Xi was the queen and was afraid of the king's favor for other women, I was afraid that Qi Ji would not have a good time after entering the palace, and if Qi Ji's behavior offended Bao Xi, I was afraid that his little daughter's life would not be much better in the future!
This is the purpose of Bao Xi's move, to ask Qi Ji to restrain his temperament in this palace, and also to make Qi Bo, who is far away on the shore of the North Sea, have something to fear.
Ziber bowed and then withdrew.
Chu Hou Xiong Yi looked at Bao Xi sitting on the high platform from a distance, and after drinking a drink with the surrounding princes, he hesitated for a while and didn't know whether to go to Bao Xi's place to pay respects, now Mrs. Chu and Bao Xi's disagreement is already known to the whole dynasty, in the eyes of others, Mrs. Chu's ancestral tablet is Bao Xi's selfishness to vent hatred, hesitated again and again, Chu Hou still took this step, walked in front of Bao Xi to congratulate her, Bao Xi looked at Chu Hou with a drink, "It's time to thank Chu Hou in this palace, Chu Hou lives up to the trust of the Japanese Palace." , finally waited for the king's victory to return to the dynasty. ”
As soon as he said this, Xiong Yi was shocked into a cold sweat, he used to worship Shangqing is sealed by Yijiu, and now that the king has brought up this matter again, he is very embarrassed.
