In April, the pickaxe capital is also a faction of golden iron horses, swords and swords. The convergence of several snobbery between light and dark, and the interests of people from all walks of life, are crisscrossed in this pickaxe capital, compared to the warblers and birds in March, the spring breeze in April is more depressing and quiet.

Xiuxiu lifted her skirt and ran quickly in this court, from Qiongtai Hall to Dazai Palace, and then from Dazai Palace back to Qiongtai Palace, leaving a water-red figure. She climbed the steps of the Qiongtai Hall with broken steps, and there was a sound of the graceful strings of the guqin in the hall, and the tunes were modulated and frustrated, and the tense rhythm flowed throughout the Qiongtai Palace, like the spring of April.

Xiuxiu carried the red dress and trotted all the way to Bao Xi, put down the skirt and bowed, "Zhao Shangqing said that Yingde sent troops, and he sent someone to report to Zhao Shangqing a few days ago, requesting that according to the king's instructions that day, go to Qi to support and fight against Dongyi!" ”

"Uncle is approved?" Bao Xi asked.

"Zhao Shangqing didn't reply, Yingde had already set off, according to the spies' reply, the soldiers and horses have been set off for a few days, but I'm afraid that if I don't say a word back, it will be too late." Xiuxiu's speed of speech was slightly faster, and she poured out all the matter.

Bao Xi didn't answer, staring intently at the strings in his hand, if Uncle Zhao had the heart to stop it, he would have thought of a way a long time ago. Now he is too late for this sentence, presumably it is also the words he used to perfunctory the king every day, if Yingde's soldiers and horses go to Qi State, Uncle Zhao will not be able to get rid of this matter, but he also knows that Bao Xi will never let this matter develop to that point, I am afraid that Yingde will not be able to get out of the pickaxe capital at all, no matter who stopped it, it will always not affect Uncle Zhao's invitation.

This wishful thinking is indeed good, but everyone is calculated.

"Also," Xiuxiu saw that Bao Xi didn't answer, and continued, "Uncle Zheng has arrived!" ”

"So fast?" Bao Xi raised her head and calculated the time, it should be about half a month to come and go, and now it is not a day, presumably all the way is rushing quickly.

"I arrived this morning, and as soon as I arrived in the pickaxe capital, I rushed to the palace non-stop, maybe I was afraid that Niang Niang had a bad pool, right? After all, Niangniang was in such a hurry, and they didn't know about our situation in Ho Capital in Zheng Guo. Xiuxiu analyzed.

"What about people?" Bao Xi stopped what she was doing and pressed the strings that were still trembling, "Caught by my uncle?" ”

"In the past, Mrs. Zheng was still there, and if the king did not prohibit it, Uncle Zheng could come and go freely, but now...... This Mrs. Zheng is gone, and if he wants to enter the palace, he has to go through the approval of the Dazai Palace layer, but I am afraid that it will take some effort. In the morning, Zhao Shangqing was discussing politics in the early dynasty, and just after the dispersal of the dynasty, he caught up with me to inquire about the affairs of the Qin State, and told me a trivial matter or two, at this moment, he must have talked to Uncle Zheng, and the mother didn't have to worry, the person you called, Zhao Shangqing didn't dare to stop it! Xiuxiu explained, Bao Xi didn't know if Zheng Boyou's cold reception was intentional by Uncle Zhao, but it was indeed long enough to be in the early court today.

The sun began to sink in the west from midday and moved all the way up and down the skyline, emitting beams of red light, and the sunset was dense and the next few days were clear. Night is about to fall, and everyone hurriedly came to Qiongtai Hall to spread the meaning of Uncle Zhao, and asked Bao Xi to go to Dazai Palace.

"What's going on?" Bao Xi looked at the person in front of him and asked.

"Zhao Shangqing wants to set up a banquet in Dazai Palace to entertain Uncle Zheng who came from afar, and Niangniang and Uncle Zheng also have some origins, so Lord Shangqing sent down to invite Niangniang to go to Dazai Palace to go on this trip and catch up with Uncle Zheng." Xiren said, Bao Xi's hand pinched his arm, and he was thinking about this matter in his heart: No matter how high-sounding the reason Zhao Shu said, he did it just to defend himself. In this case, she followed him, and the situation today is not suitable for hard work.

"Go and talk back, you two adults don't have to wait for me, I'll freshen up and go for a while." Bao Xi said that she was about to turn around and walk towards the dormitory, but the other party stopped her again, "Lord Shangqing said, it's just a common meal, so Niangniang doesn't have to dress up deliberately." ”

Bao Xi paused, turned around and glanced meaningfully at this person, what is Uncle Zhao afraid of? She wouldn't discuss with Zheng Boyou how to bring him down, would she?

Bao Xi shook his head, turned around and walked out of the main hall with the people, Dazaigong is still a little lively today, in order to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Zheng Boyou or to please him, Uncle Zhao specially ordered people to come to dance and music, such a lively scene has not been seen for a long time, the Situ priest who had been replaced by Zheng Boyou was almost moldy in the palace, and finally had some errands, and he was excited and excited.

Situ mobilized the people of the dance music, and the news spread for a while. In this way, the people in the palace also know that Zheng Boyou is coming, and the women in each room have sent people to watch outside the Dazai Palace, and now in this situation, Zheng Boyou is really strange, the king is not in the palace, and he is a prince, no matter how you think about it, you can't guess the reason for his appearance.

I am afraid that there are only two people who can understand, one is Empress Shen, and the other is Mrs. Qin. Mrs. Qin couldn't hold back her emotions and paced back and forth in Youyang Palace, and everyone was sent out four or five by her, but she didn't bring any news back. I can't wait to go to Dazai's palace and say to Uncle Zhao, "I'm also here to help." ”

In her opinion, this matter must be implicated in the Qin State, if she can't reply to the news today, she might as well inquire about the tone of the Hou Shen on the pilgrimage tomorrow. Thinking like this, her anxious heart calmed down, and before she could sit down, someone came to pay her respects, "Mrs. Qiyu, Bao Niangniang is going to Dazai Palace for a banquet!" ”

Mrs. Qin stood up again.

Bao Xi was dressed in white, plain face to the sky, her hair was lightly pulled, a few were scattered behind her, her steps were very light and barely made any sound, if it weren't for Zheng Boyou who looked up and saw her first in front of the corridor that entered the house, Uncle Zhao was afraid that she wouldn't notice her before she sat down, she said to Uncle Zhao in a slightly complaining tone, "Uncle is in a hurry, and I don't have time to dress up, and now I am rude in front of Uncle Zheng." ”

"You've always been in and out of the harem like this, if you freshen up, it's surprising!" Uncle Zhao took the general Bao Xi to look at it, she knew that what he was wary of was that she took advantage of the time to freshen up and start preparing some letters or something, but fortunately, when Uncle Zhao was not ready, he handed the letter to Zheng Boyou, but Bao Xi herself didn't know what to write in the letter.

"See the mother!" Zheng Boyou stood up and saluted Bao Xi.

Bao Xi bowed slightly, watched Zheng Boyou sit down, swept over Uncle Zhao's belt, and asked tentatively, "Uncle Zheng came from afar, I will hold a banquet in Qiongtai Hall another day, and Uncle Zheng will give me some thin noodles." Now that Nian'er is half a year old, she is becoming more and more like a king, and her handsome appearance is really cute. ”

"The banquet is exempt," Uncle Zhao said, "Now that the king is not in the harem, it is always inconvenient for men to enter and exit, what does the mother have to announce Uncle Zheng, although it is said in my Dazai Palace!" ”

Zheng Boyou glanced at Uncle Zhao, and then turned to Bao Xi to look meaningfully, her guess was really good, Bao Xi would send a letter to Twenty-seven through the post station, and sure enough, it was because of a dispute with Uncle Zhao. But at the moment, he can't ask anything, but I'm afraid that he won't be able to bring back any information if he comes to the capital on this trip. If so, why did Bao Xi summon herself to this trip?

Probably Bao Xi didn't expect that Uncle Zhao would do so much, right?

"If Niangniang and Lord Shangqing have any orders, they will definitely go to the soup and fire if they can!" Zheng Boyou looked at Bao Xi and Uncle Zhao and said, Bao Xi gave Xiuxiu a color, Xiuxiu picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Zheng Boyou and Uncle Zhao, and said in a very light tone, "What can I tell Uncle Zheng?" Just ask, Twenty-seven is doing well in Uncle Zheng's mansion? ”

"Everything's fine." Zheng Boyou replied.

"Really?" Bao Xi looked at him and asked, "That's not what I've heard. ”

Zheng Boyou looked at Bao Xi's eyes, and Bao Xi took out two pieces of cloth from his body and handed them to Zheng Boyou, "Twenty-seven Yu I have written twice, and the Jin Kingdom intends to form an alliance and force Zheng Bo into a dilemma, but now this matter has been over?" ”

"This matter has been settled!" Zheng Boyou looked at the cloth handed by Bao Xi, Twenty-seven didn't mention his situation in a word, Zheng Boyou looked at Bao Xi suspiciously, as if he didn't understand how she knew that Twenty-seven was not doing well, and from Zheng Boyou's eyes, Bao Xi, who peeked out this doubt, said, "The eldest lady can affect the affairs of your Zheng Guo, how can she easily let go of Twenty-seven who is competing for favor with herself?" What's more, it's not the right time for the twenty-seventh to pass the door, and several funerals of your Zheng family collided together, and I'm afraid that everyone is still in mourning, right? ”

"Lao Niangniang remembers." Uncle Zheng replied, there was nothing to say.

"Uncle Zheng handled the alliance very well," Uncle Zhao interjected, "but what else does you need help with?" Although Uncle Zheng spoke, I also have some suitable people in my hands, if Uncle Zheng is weak in Zheng Guo, I am willing to send some people to serve. ”

"That's not necessary, the king sent my entourage back from Zheng State a few days ago." Zheng Boyou replied.

"Your entourage ......" Uncle Zhao's pupils shrank rapidly at this moment, and he looked at Zheng Boyou and asked a little incredulously, "Didn't your entourage be involved in the case and provoke the war, should be executed by the king?" ”

Zheng Boyou looked at Uncle Zhao and smiled, "It's okay for others to say this, is it appropriate for Lord Zhao to say this?" ”

"If you want to talk about business, you don't have to call me here, you've been talking all day, is there anything you haven't said?" Bao Xi raised the wine glass and looked at Uncle Zhao and Zheng Boyou and said, Zhao Shudao could only laugh "haha", patted his thigh with his hand, and then took the wine glass and drank the wine in the cup, Zheng Boyou looked at Bao Xi, pursed his lips, and slowly swallowed the wine.

Bao Xi's fingers tapped on the wall of the cup, and this conversation went back and forth, and she became more and more aware in her heart of what Uncle Zhao was doing now!
