"Did he really say that?" Next to the lotus pond in the middle palace, Fanji is leaning on the pavilion railing, and is leisurely sprinkling bait into the pond, and his attitude is very comfortable.

"yes." The sheep smiled with a smile on his face: "I heard that Zhao Gongzi, ah no, Zhao Gong immediately summoned the head of the house, beat a few slaves who love to chew their tongues, and threw them out for sale." Now, who in the Manchu Mansion dares not to hold the new lady? Unless you eat the bear's heart and leopard gall. ”

"My niece, my life is really inch, and my father-in-law is gone as soon as she enters the cave room. Her mother-in-law also died early, and her new daughter-in-law who has not yet completed a round house is thin-skinned, how can the old cheeks inside and outside the house not bully her? Alas, I don't know how many grievances she has suffered in private, and it is not easy to endure it by herself! ”

"Fortunately, there is a good aunt who supports her. When Uncle Guo left Beijing, he repeatedly told my man that he would like to thank the queen for being a good matchmaker! He also said, "She stepped forward and lowered her voice and said, "In addition to the funeral in the Zhaofu next year, I will come again and marry the two concubines in the palace who are about to marry as concubines." It is also lest others chew their tongues and say that the Yue family does not pay enough attention to this family business. ”

Fan Ji couldn't help laughing, and laughed out loud: "My brother is really interesting, how can he marry a daughter and squeeze out like this?" In fact, he was too worried, Zhaozi Mu is not a womanizer, what does it matter if he has a concubine? Could it be that he is still afraid that this good son-in-law will change his mind? ”

The badger sheep was so obedient that he slapped his leg for Fanji: "That's it." The queen's niece, the princess of Fanguo, and the prince's cousin, are they not worthy of the status of a princess? What are you afraid of! But," she turned pale, and handed over a Tong book: "Niangniang should still worry more about the affairs in the inner palace." ”

Fan Ji opened the booklet and glanced at it and threw it aside: "I'm impatient to look at it, you can choose what is important and tell me." ”

"No! This month, except for the first day of the new year, the fifteenth was on Niangniang's side, and then there were two nights when Huang Huan was summoned, and the rest of the days were shared equally between Ji Jiang and Deng Man, who had just entered the palace. It seems that the king is quite satisfied with the tribute girls this time. ”

"What? Ji Jiangxue is obedient? Didn't pretend to have a headache and brain fever to pull the king to Qiuliao Palace? There was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of Fanji's mouth.

"That's still a good training for the mother. Last time, the crown prince triumphed in the south, Ji Jiang made such a fuss, and there were already ministers who gave advice, and the king also lost his temper in Qiuliao Palace, and now she doesn't dare. I think Ji Jiang won't be proud for long. ”

"A hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, I'm afraid it's not so easy." Fanji looked at the pool, where a few cyan buds were already sticking out of the water, timidly ------

When the lotus flowers in the middle palace began to spit out new stamen, Ji Hou finally came to Hojing. With his arrival, the pavilion specially provided for the princes to visit Beijing became lively. Every day from early morning to the beginning of curfew, the flow of people in and out of the museum is endless, and the horse-drawn carriages at the door come and go like flowing water.

The two handymen sat on a bench at one end, looking enviously at the other end of the bench as they ran without touching the ground, sweating their heads. said indignantly: "It's really more human than human, it's infuriating!" Look at them, even the handymen who lead the horses earn a lot of money, how can they be like us? It's deserted! ”

"Isn't it? There was no way, Yi Cheng assigned the two of us to clean the room for Qi Shizi and serve the call. Who doesn't know that the relationship between Qi Hou and the king is not very good, who will take care of him in this pickaxe capital? Ji Hou is different, Jiang Niangniang is already the second concubine, she is the most favored in the palace, and she gave birth to the second prince, which is the hot time. Who doesn't rush to stammer? ”

"I heard that Ji Hou could have arrived in Hojing last month. Originally, when passing through Luoyi, he received the king's order to cut 3,000 acres of Qi State's fiefdom there to Ji Guo as a sacrificial field, so it was delayed. ”

"Really?" The younger ones were very surprised: "In this way, when the Marquis of Qi took in Wang Zihui, he really offended the king, and he was beating him!" Oh, it's not why this Qi Shizi came from? Don't you pay compensation to the king? ”

"Isn't it a reparation?" The older one was dismissive: "If you really want to pay compensation, shouldn't you drive the prince away or take him back to the king for disposal, this is obviously to test the truth, is it good?" Shh——,h ”

A young man dressed in a floor-length costume walked in from outside, looked at the flow of people coming and going on the other end, frowned and shook his head, and turned back to close the door.

Outside the pavilion, a cart had been parked for several hours. During this period of time, the officials, suzerains, and rich families who sought to see the marquis of Ji were like carps crossing the river, and no one noticed this ordinary carriage at all.

A middle-aged man dressed as a domestic servant approached the place where the curtain was, and said in a low voice: "Guogong, according to your instructions, I have informed all our protégés in Beijing that they are old and old, and relatives and friends from near and far have come to visit Ji Hou, and everyone has prepared their own gifts, so we don't need to worry about it." Grandpa Guo, do you want to go in and hand over the name thorn? ”

A deep voice came from the car: "No need, let's go home!" ”

The servant was taken aback: "Return, go home?" He didn't understand what it meant that his old man changed to a carriage early in the morning and came here to observe for a long time, and it took his old nose to go home without even seeing anyone.

"Mabel, get in the car!" Zhou Gongding commanded.

Mabel entered the carriage with a question mark on his belly, and the carriage galloped slowly. Zhou Gongding glanced at him: "Many people in this city know you, so you have to ride with me, understand?" ”

"This little one understands. It's just that the master arranged so many people to visit Ji Hou, but he avoided it, and the little one didn't understand what it meant? ”

Zhou Gongding was in a good mood today, stroked his beard and said, "Okay, the head of the road back to the house, it doesn't hurt to talk to you." Although Ji Jiang competed with the queen for favor in the palace, he still speculated about the king's intentions everywhere. Ji Xie's kid is defensive of me, how can she not know? If I do so aggressively, the father and daughter will be wary. ”

Mei Bo took a cushion and put it on his waist, and began to pat himself on the back: "That's why the master arranged for Ji Diao to enter the Qiu Liao Palace to serve, but it was really a good move!" ”

"It's a crucial move, but it's not the most brilliant yet." Zhou Gongding said proudly: "People's desires need fertile soil to grow wildly. Maybe at the beginning, Ji Hou's father and daughter just took advantage of the king's favor, but seeing so many people rushing to tie themselves up, can they not think of their part? Of course, this is also their own business. In the future, there will be an accident, and I will just say to those people how Ji Jiang Niangniang is favored, they need to have a relationship with each other, what's wrong with that? ”

Mabel's eyes lit up: "The master is really clever, little admiration!" ”

Ji Hou stood in the main hall of Qiuliao Palace, squinting and scanning everything around him. He has never seen such gorgeous and valuable furnishings in his life, the four walls are decorated with pearls and green feathers, dazzling and bright, and the windows are sparse and green, and the picture is cloudy fairy. After the case, there is a painted openwork lacquer seat screen, the screen is carved with deer, phoenix, finch and other things, and painted with vermilion, gray green, gold, silver and other color lacquer, euphemistic and vivid, exquisitely clear, beautiful.

"Daughter, it seems that the king really spoils you the most!" Ji Hou walked around the hall and finally came to a conclusion.

Ji Jiang pursed his lips and didn't answer, but the attendant on the side answered quickly: "Then you don't need to say!" Uncle Guo, you don't know, this month, more than half of the time the king stays in my Qiuliao Palace. It's hard for other mothers to see the king! ”

"Mouthy! Not down yet! Ji Jiang was half angry and half angry, bowed down and retreated, leading the left and right to retreat outside the hall and wait.

Ji Jiang bowed slightly to his father: "I heard that my father has newly acquired the land of Luoyi, and he hasn't congratulated him yet!" ”

"It's just 3,000 acres of sacrificial fields, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning!" Ji Hou shook his finger and smiled: "However, no matter how you say it, it is all a gift from the king, our father and daughter must know how to be grateful!" I heard, are you happy again, daughter? ”

Ji Jiang's face flushed: "Father is so well-informed!" I just let the doctor see it yesterday, and it's been two months. ”

"That's good, now that you have given birth to your father, if you have another son, even the queen will not be able to compare with you." Ji Hou put down the tea bowl and said with regret: "Speaking of which, the queen's mother country is not the viscount, but I am the marquis, two levels higher than the fan country." If it weren't for the fact that the king was seized the throne by King Xianxiao back then, she was only worthy of being a concubine to marry, what could she do with this throne? Straight is the time, the luck is also. ”

"By the way," Ji Hou asked again, "I heard that the king and the queen have been on good terms for a long time, is it true?" ”

A trace of doubt flashed on Ji Jiang's face: "Zhou Li Youyun 'wife and old man also have two royals in a month', so on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, the king will go to the middle palace to accompany the queen if he can't move." But whether it is very reluctant, or because of etiquette, the daughter does not know. The two interlocking fingers flashed in front of him, and Ji Jiang couldn't tell what status Fan Ji was in Ji Xie's heart.

Ji Hou was very confident, and waved his hand: "Naturally, it is due to etiquette, how can the queen be younger and more beautiful than you and be understanding?" I heard that the new Dunman has a Sacred Heart, so you have to be careful! ”

Speaking of Deng Man, Ji Jiang was relaxed: "Father doesn't have to worry, the king is just a freshness, he once told his daughter personally." Deng Manmei is beautiful, but he doesn't understand the style, and he is too boring. In my opinion, this woman is not to be afraid. ”

"Although, now that you have a body, it is not good to serve the king anymore, so let your sister Meng Jiang help you share one or two. You are sisters, and you have entered the palace together, so you still have to support each other. ”

Ji Jiang's face was slightly pale, he bit his lip tightly, and squeezed out a "um" from his throat, which was considered to be a promise. Meng Jiang is better than Deng Man, Huang Huan or the queen! She comforted herself.
