Chapter 2: Counting Marriages

In the palace, after the dedication, Qi Jiang cried his eyes into fat walnuts.

Ji Yao's younger brother, Prince Shensheng, said: "The spies reported that the Qin people can only eat rice and millet during the New Year's holidays, and they eat coarse millet and even tree bark on weekdays. Sister is delicate, where can I endure those sufferings? ”

Another younger brother, Yiwu, said: "This matter is not so bad, my sister is in the Jin Kingdom, she is the most noble princess, ten miles of red makeup to marry in the past, the King of Qin still dares to let our sister be a concubine, she must be the wife after a country." The suffering that the second brother said is just a home for ordinary people. Isn't there also poor people in our Jin Kingdom who can't afford to eat? ”

Another younger brother's son-in-law sighed with heavy ears: "How is Tianhuang noble? What about ordinary people? After all, my sister is not free! You can't leave it to your heart's content. ”

Shen Sheng and Yi Wu are Ji Yao's half-brothers, Ji Yao and Xianhou naturally favor them, but when it comes to being old and serious, observing people's feelings, it is not as important as the son of his biological mother who died early.

After listening to Chong'er's emotion, Yiwu smiled proudly: "What's so difficult about this, when the second brother becomes the king in the future, he will take his sister back to the Jin State from the Qin State, and let my sister want, who do you want to marry?" ”

"Presumptuous!" After the dedication, which had been silent, he could be regarded as finding an outlet, and scolded Yiwu with a stinking scolding, "Your father is still alive and well, just discuss the matter after his death in my Qi Palace, and make decisions for the prince, how many heads do you have, so I don't know the severity." ”

After the dedication, it has always been a flowing water, a graceful and luxurious mother of the country, not easy to get angry, and when you get angry, you must have a target.

With a thunderbolt, the case in front of him was overturned, and the bronze beast-faced wine utensils fell to the ground.

Yiwu was so frightened that he even rolled and crawled, and knelt down, and the other three sisters and brothers were also frightened and didn't dare to gasp.

The chaotic hall was quiet all of a sudden, and after offering a slight smile, he slowly walked in front of Ji Yao, stretched out his hand to comb Ji Yao's black hair hanging on his chest, and tidied up Ji Yao's clothes, and finally his eyes fell on Ji Yao's not very protruding ...... Chest.

Ji Yao's frightened body stiffened: "The queen mother ......"

After the dedication, he sighed, and was very reluctant: "In the blink of an eye, Bo Ji is so old that he is going to get married." ”

Where's the big one? She's only fifteen!

Ji Yao was weak and tentative: "Queen Mother, can you ...... Don't get married? ”

After the dedication, he turned around, looked at the palace wall in the distance, and said leisurely: "Qin and Jin are thousands of miles apart, and the convoy to send relatives cannot travel day and night, and there will be a little rest at the post station of the two countries." ”

Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu! Ji Yao's heart was excited, and he really thought that when he reached the border of Qin and Jin, he would either run away to Yiqu or slip away to Chu State.

"Birge!" After Xianhou's eyes were suddenly full of guilt, and with her sons, she knelt straight and straight towards Ji Yao with tears.

Her mother knelt down for her, and Ji Yao hurriedly bowed her head and kowtowed: "You have tormented your son, queen mother." ”

After the dedication, he touched Ji Yao's hair Xuan'er, and said seriously: "Bo Ji, as the mother of the country, we have a fragrant car and a golden palace, jade food and gorgeous clothes, do you know that those peasant girls, since they were young, they have to follow their mothers to pick mulberry and raise silkworms, raise livestock, and be poorer, and even go to the field with their father and brother to farm, often hungry and unclothed. ”

Ji Yao smiled bitterly: "I know what the queen mother means, and I won't be rewarded for nothing." Since he has been worshiped by the people, he must have the responsibility of the king's concubine. But after my mother, when I married the Qin State, I was forced to make a living for the people of the Jin Kingdom, or my father's selfish desire to dominate the world. ”

After the dedication, he sighed: "Bo Ji, think about it, the field of the Son of Heaven is thousands of miles, the prince and Hou Tian are 100 miles, the uncle is 70 miles, and the son and the man are 10 miles each." According to Zhou Li, Wang Ji, there was no sealing of the field, but your father gave you a hundred miles of sealing the field, and it cost thirty stones, which has surpassed the crown prince Shensheng. Why does your father love you more than your brothers? ”

Why? On the one hand, it is rare and expensive, Ji Yao is the only prince of the Jin Kingdom, of course, the ambitious dedication is not stupid, giving her such a favor, the picture is to wait for the price and sell the day, on the other hand, Ji Yao himself also has the ability: "The queen mother, the son's rewards are the income of helping the father to conquer the world. ”

Then he shook his head disapprenously: "Besides, in the palace, my father's favorite is not his sons. ”

Xianhou sneered: "You can also see that in the palace, your father is not the most partial to you, so who is he most biased?" ”

Ji Yao didn't think twice: "Xiqi." ”

After the dedication, he asked: "Then why is your father the most favored son Xiqi?" ”

"Father's favorite is Li Ji." Ji Yao originally wanted to be angry, but after all, it was his mother, and he couldn't bear it, "It's not my favorite, but I'm temporarily confused by Li Ji." ”

"It's not confusing, your father is the mother and son who are exclusively favored by Liji. Do you remember, Becky? When Xiqi was three years old, his mother was ill for a month. ”

"I remember that at that time, the State of Qi also sent envoys to visit the queen mother."

"That's what I pretended." After the dedication, he held Ji Yao's hand and looked at Shen Sheng, who was trembling and kneeling on the ground, "Because I overheard, your father, in order to curry favor with Li Ji, wants to abolish the position of Prince Shensheng and establish Xiqi instead." ”

"Ahh

Shen Sheng, who was trembling, was even more worried, "The queen mother save me." ”

After the dedication, he snorted coldly: "I saw it!" Your brother has only this virtue. ”

In the end, it was his own son, and after the dedication, he said with pity: "But Shensheng, as the crown prince, is not at fault. Kind and humble, but a little cowardly. He is not liked by your father, but when Shen Sheng was born, I had lost the favor of your father.

However, fortunately, Li Ji, that slut, still has eyes, and her mother is our prisoner, so she doesn't dare to agree to your father rashly. Otherwise, the fish will die and the net will be broken, and the group of tigers and wolves under Shen Sheng's hands will definitely defend the position of Prince Shen Sheng to the death.

When I heard that, I feigned illness. Then write to your grandfather, your father saw that when I was a soldier of the Qi State, he naturally did not dare to act rashly.

But now, your grandfather has passed away, and the new King of Qi is my nephew. In the troubled times, if you come, you will gather, and if you go, you will disperse, who knows if he will help me, an aunt I have never met. ”

After the dedication, the hands of the four children were folded together, "In this Jin Palace, your father is no longer the original father." There is only Li Ji's mother and son in her eyes, if she mentions it again, she will change Xiqi. Where will there be a place for our mother and son. ”

Ji Yaoxunran: "Could it be that if I marry Qin State, I can solve the Shensheng crisis?" ”

"Marriage is the will of your father. If you resist marriage, you will definitely be angry with Shensheng, Xiqi grew up, and Li Ji was not a hostage girl who had no relatives in the Jin Kingdom back then, she worked hard in the court for many years, and the limelight gradually flourished.

We can't afford to miss a single step now. "After the dedication, she closed her eyes, "The queen mother is also Wang Ji, and when she was sent to the Jin Kingdom, she was only thirteen years old.

First serve the first king, then your father. Among the sufferings...... The queen mother is a woman, if there is a way, how can I be willing to let you experience it again.

Over the years, the queen mother has never restrained you for a day, but she hopes that every day by your mother's side will be happy and lively. But Boji, the queen mother can only protect you for fifteen years, and marriage is a fate that Wang Ji can't escape.

The queen mother knows that you are smart and clever, and if you don't want to, no one can force you.

But think of the queen mother, your brothers, and the cronies who follow us.

If you escape, what will we do, what will Shen Sheng do? ”

In the eyes of guilt and warning after the dedication, Ji Yao was full of despair and helplessness: "Could it be that I only have one way to marry Qin State?" Marry someone I've never met, or even hate. ”

After the dedication: "You not only have to marry to the Qin State, but you also have to be like Li Ji who grabbed your father's heart, so that the King of Qin likes you and obeys you." ”
