There are a total of six concubines left in the palace, and when I heard that Xuanji was going to come to visit, they all turned out the gorgeous clothes and jewelry at the bottom of the box early and dressed them carefully, trying to be elegant and dignified, grand and unassuming, and extravagant and not 'glamorous'. Starting

In order to avoid letting the queen go to the 'door' one by one to meet and run left and right, the six of them discussed and specially chose to gather in the Minghe Palace of Concubine Lu, who had the highest position, so that the queen could see all of them in one place.

Although the palace 'women' who serve them have repeatedly said that the queen is a very easy and easy-going person, it is difficult for these 'women' who have been trembling in the harem for so many years to trust others anymore.

When the emperor was still the crown prince, the queen 'got' all the wives and concubines in the backyard of the prince's mansion, and before the emperor ascended the throne and officially canonized the queen, he began to clean up the harem.

Although the queen is still very polite to their "elders", the momentum of dominating the harem is there, can such a queen be a good man and believe in a 'woman'?

These "old 'women'" naturally have no conflict of interest with the queen, but if the queen is not pleasing to the eye, life will not be better. But if they want to pull down their faces to please and flatter this "junior", they are a little worried that they will fall into the traces, and the anti-sectarians will look down on them, and I am afraid that there will be no place to stand in this palace in the future.

Just in the anxiety of several 'women', the queen rushed in, and the voice of the old eunuch Liu Gonggong outside the Minghe Palace came in: "The queen has arrived!" ”

A beautiful 'woman' with a plain face and a pink and green dress walked into the palace 'door' with a smile, and the beauty looked up at the six noble 'women' dressed up in front of her, and stayed in place for a while.

Xuanji turned her head and glared angrily at Ke'er next to her: Didn't I ask you to spread the word that it was just an ordinary meeting, and it didn't need to be too grand?

Ke'er glared back very aggrievedly, and said in her heart: I obviously said according to what you said, who knew that their not very grand pomp was also so grand!

Xuanji laughed dryly, turned his head slightly, bowed slightly, and made an ordinary greeting salute, raised his head and said with a smile: ".starter"

She was married as the lord of Ningguo County. In front of the concubine, she still called herself "Ning Yue".

The six concubines were also embarrassed. The palace 'girl' came to spread the word that the queen would come to visit today. It's just a homely affair. It doesn't have to be grand. They all thought it was a kind word. Who would have thought that the queen's land would not be grand, and it would really be so unceremonious. Ordinary people's new daughters-in-law and 'women' go out of the 'door' and see people at will.

"It's good that the six concubines are here. I just have a gadget for you to use for your usual leisure. In the past, many people loved to play in the Prince's Mansion. "Since it's here. You can't go back and change into formal clothes and come back again. Xuanji put aside the embarrassment. Start the conversation. Began to sell the "quintessence of the country".

The six concubines looked at each other. But it's not good to go against the queen's good intentions. So he had to let the eunuch move into a mahjong table. Pretend to be interested and sit around and play cards.

Xuanji specially brought a few "familiar hands" here. One-on-one coaching. The six concubines are all smart people. But in an hour, I 'touched' the 'door' road. The more you play, the easier it becomes. Originally, I was just trying to pretend to make the queen happy. By the time it had been, it had become a matter of total devotion. Completely forgetful.

Xuanji stayed in the Minghe Palace until dinner time before leaving. Originally, the six concubines who were in high spirits didn't really want to let go. As a result, Ji Jianshen sent someone to invite the queen. That's why I had to let her go first.

Xuanji left two palace 'girls' who were familiar with mahjong to play, and took the remaining few people all the way to the palace.

The little eunuch sent by Hong Wang said. The emperor is dining in the royal room today, probably because there are too many official duties.

After playing for most of the day, Feiyang's good mood came to an end at the moment he stepped into the palace.

Ji Jianshen, Ji Siyuan, Zhang Qiaoyu and Zhao Zheng are all here, the four of them have a dignified look, and it must be a very exaggerated thing to make these four people look like this.

Ji Jianshen looked up and saw Xuanji coming, and beckoned her to come over.

Xuanji walked up to him and asked, "What happened?" ”

Ji Jianshen smiled: "There is very bad news, but you can eat with me first." "There was a smile on his face. But there was no smile in his eyes. If it weren't for the fact that this matter was too big to hide from Xuanji, he didn't want her to know at all.

Xuanji blinked and said, "Say it now, if you hang my appetite like this, I can't eat the 'meat' even more." ”

Zhang Qiaoyu silently sent an urgent report to Xuanji, on which hundreds of words were written in a scribble about the massacre of the village that occurred at the border. Xuanji bit her 'lip' and finished reading the full text, then raised her head and said, "Can the residents of the villages in other places bordering Yue Guo be resettled now?" ”

Several people present looked at each other when they heard this, they were all worried about Xuanji's reaction when she found out about it, but they didn't expect her to know for the first time that it was not sad but to ask such a question.

Ji Siyuan hesitated: "You...... Aren't you sad? ”

Xuanji frowned and said, "How can you not be sad?" More than 4,000 lives! But isn't the first thing to think about now is to prevent such a thing from happening again? ”

Zhang Qiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes." The emperor has ordered the border army to inform the people of Jiguo outside the border passes in batches to pack up their belongings and retreat to the passes. ”

"Hmm. These people have been settled, and the young and strong forces can take care of logistics and chores for the border army. With a job, you can settle down in a new place with peace of mind. Xuanji continued to ponder the resettlement of "new immigrants".

When she looked up, she saw that the four men were all staring at her with strange eyes, and said strangely, "Why are you looking at me like this!" ”

After all, Ji Siyuan couldn't hold back his words: "Yue rebelled against the choice to slaughter the village on the day of the wedding between my father and you, and he clearly wanted to demonstrate to you, we are afraid that you will feel guilty and uncomfortable!" ”

"Why should I feel guilty? It was Yue Wei who killed people and set fires, what can I do if he wants to pervert? Why should I feel guilty for his mistakes? Xuanji looked puzzled. The four of them were speechless, they underestimated Xuanji's ability to bear it too much, and overestimated her kindness and compassion.

Seeing a person killed on the spot in order to save himself with his own eyes is completely different from reading the newspaper and seeing many people slaughtered, especially for Xuanji from modern society, similar to the news of the dead man collapsing the building can be seen every day, if you want to be sad, then you have already died of depression.

The point is that although Xuanji has a good conscience, she doesn't have a virgin to take other people's faults on herself, and there are many ways for Yue to retaliate against her, including sending killers to kill her, and indiscriminately killing innocents is also his choice, if a person wants to be perverted, he can't stop it!

Instead of grieving the mistakes of others, it is better to cheer up and imagine how to prevent the harm from happening again and minimize the damage caused by those mistakes.

"I only hope that the Holy Monarch and the Holy Monarch and his father will find a way to deal with this perverted madman as soon as possible, and don't give him a chance to continue to kill innocents!" Xuanji looked at Ji Jianshen's father and son and said, "It's better to 'hand' over the dirty work of fighting and killing to these warlike men."

Ji Siyuan was a little embarrassed by her sentence of "Holy Monarch", but Ji Jianshen sighed and said: "If you want to disappoint the Holy Monarch's queen mother, it will take at least a few years to defeat Yue Wei." ”

To fight a protracted war, it is necessary to rely on Xuanji to stabilize the rear.
