"Jingle bell", there was a sound of something breaking inside, followed by the persuasion of the palace maid: "Niangniang wants to open some!" You still have the second prince! Then Ji Jiang's heart-rending cry cut through the stagnant air.

Ji Xie wanted to rush in to soothe him, but he couldn't drag his legs for some reason, he was really a little scared. Afraid to face Ji Jiang and face her heart-wrenching pain, he didn't even dare to see her bright autumn eyes------ he flinched, and Fan Ji persuaded slightly: "The king is also tired, there are so many people waiting here, let's go back to the palace!" ”

With just such a sentence, he followed Fanji out of Qiuliao Palace like an obedient child.

After Ji Jiang gave birth, the Qiu Yu Palace, which had been cooking oil on a blazing fire and full of flowers, quickly fell silent. Although King Zhou Yi continued to send various high-end supplements, since that day, he has never stepped into the Qiu Yu Palace. Of course, there are no new favorites in the harem, and most of the time, Ji Xie spends the night in the main hall alone.

The night sky at the end of summer was unusually quiet, reflecting a dim light in the imperial garden, and a miserable white crescent moon loomed, like a sharp orchid finger, crystal clear with a touch of warmth that wanted to talk. Ji Xie walked slowly along the path, the grass and trees in the garden were quiet, and the osmanthus on the branches and the lotus flowers in the pond competed with each other to spit out a faint fragrance, cold and fragrant.

I don't know how long I walked, Ji Xie only felt a little more comfortable. The chamberlain Jia asked inappropriately: "Is the king tired?" Why don't you go to which lady to rest? ”

Ji Xie smiled bitterly: "Which mother?" I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to be alone. ”

yes, where can he go? Autumn Palace? Although he was also concerned about Ji Jiang, he was really afraid to see her resentful eyes, just like seeing a creditor, and he was stunned in his heart. The other concubines will stare at him without saying three words, which is too boring. He is willing to talk to the queen, but ------ is not the first day of the new year and not the fifteenth, and there is nothing to discuss, is it necessary to calm himself when he is upset? Doesn't that seem to be too useless?

Alas - he sighed, there is a huge harem, and there is no one who can say a confidant?

He was about to say "Go back to the palace!" Suddenly, out of nowhere, there was a burst of music, low and tactful, soft and melodious, soothing and sad, like a woman in the quiet night whispering------ Ji Xie unconsciously listened to the idiot, and followed the sound.

The weather is humid at night, and a slender woman is sitting on the edge of the mountain rock not far away------ the moonlight is like water, the mist is filled, the music has stopped, and Ji Xie still feels that the aftermath is endless.

"What's the sound?" Ji Xie asked, the woman turned around and was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The king forgives the sin, the slave and maid blow the Xun on a moonlit night, disturbing the holy car!" ”

"Do you recognize Lone? And keep your head up. ”

The woman looked up, and under the moonlit night was a beautiful and somewhat familiar face. Ji Xie frowned and asked, "Lone seems to have seen you, what is your name?" ”

"The little girl Eyao, on the day she entered the palace, she visited the king with other Jianghan tribute girls."

"Oh, it turned out to be you." Ji Xie vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a woman who showed her face in front of her with Deng Man and Huang Huan. Because the other two tribute girls were far superior to her at that time, they did not attract attention. But perhaps the delicate and pitiful posture of this woman under the moonlit night is even more moving, and at this time, it seems that it is very eye-catching.

"You say, this thing is Xun, then I listened to you play, very sad, but why?"

E Yao bowed her head and replied: "Xun is a musical instrument produced by the slave's homeland, and it is played here because of the longing for his hometown. ”

The chamberlain Jia stood up and shouted: "Bold! Now that you have entered the palace, you have to serve the king as your top priority, how can you be homesick? ”

"Definitely!" Ji Xie glanced at him: "Thousands of miles away from home, homesickness is also human nature!" Your brother has already established another country, you don't have to worry too much, everything will be fine. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Eyao bowed deeply.

Ji Xie suddenly asked: "Now that you have entered the palace, do you have any wishes?" ”

E Yao raised her eyelids in confusion: "Wish? ”

"For example, your brother has a desire to reclaim the Copper Green Mountain, and this is his wish. But is that what you want? Ji Xie said tentatively.

E Yao was taken aback, and couldn't help but kowtow and said: "The slave and maid will never think of such a part." This is a state affair, how can I be influenced by a little palace concubine? The slave and maid just want to be safe and smooth in the palace, and they will be satisfied if they can be surrounded by flesh and blood in the future! ”

Ji Xie stroked his short beard under his chin and smiled: "Safe and smooth, surrounded by flesh and bones?" Once upon a time, Lone also had such days, but unfortunately, since he ascended the throne, everything has changed! ”

There was a hint of bitterness in his tone, and his eyes became a little hollow, as if he saw another person through her, and he was a little scared.

"That's it, you can go back to the palace with me!" Finally, he commanded.

When the badger sheep lifted the brocade curtain in the back bedroom of the middle palace, Fanji was closing her eyes, and Ji Sang was combing her hair. She split her head with a sentence: "Queen Mother!" The king took Eyao back to the palace. ”

"Got it." As soon as Fan Ji responded, he "sizzled" and looked back at Ji Sang: "What's going on with you this day?" What do you can't do? ”

"The slave is distracted, please forgive the mother." Ji Sang knelt down and begged for mercy.

Otter Yang Ji took the jade comb in her hand and waved her hand: "I'll come here!" Nothing can be done well. ”

Fanji's long hair was shiny to the knees, and the badger sheep was carefully combed, and chattered: "Niangniang has no last resort, the slave is served!" That Eyao's appearance is not outstanding, how can Niangniang be able to calculate that she must be able to enter the eyes of the king? ”

Fan Ji curled the corners of his pale red mouth and smiled: "Ji Jiang has a small birth, the king is guilty, and it is when he is in the lowest mood. With a supple temperament and a petite body, Ejiao is most suitable for soothing the king's heartache. What's more, Yi Ji sees that it is useless, and only she can barely top it! ”

"Niangniang really worked hard for the king!" The sheep sighed.

Fan Ji had already changed into cinnamon-colored bedclothes and was about to sleep, when suddenly the hairy Ji Sang came in again, and said in a snort: "Niangniang, that ------ Jiang is here!" ”

"Which Jiang clan? Make it clear! ”

"It's Meng Jiang, she said that there is something important, and she must ask to see Niangniang!"

"It's so late, she can really pick the time! Niangniang," the badger turned her face and said, "Why don't you let her come back tomorrow!" ”

Fan Ji thought for a while, sat up from the bed and sat up, and ordered: "Lead her in quietly, don't let others know!" ”

"No!" Ji Sang came out in response.

After a while, Meng Jiang came in with a sad face, and without saying a word, he knelt down and kowtowed a few times: "Queen Niangniang, please help the concubine!" Except for you, the concubine can't count on anyone else! ”

Fanji motioned to the deer sheep to help her up, and asked, "But you came here for your daughter's business?" ”

Meng Jiang's face was pale, and he spoke with a little timidity: "Since the queen already knows, the concubine will say it directly." The second concubine intends to adopt my daughter, and the king feels guilty about her and will definitely agree. But my child is still so young, she snatched it just to compete with her mother, how could she take care of her? I beg the queen to take pity on the concubines, and to intercede with the king, so let my daughter stay with me! ”

After speaking, he kept kowtowing, and his forehead was faintly oozing blood. Fanji was also a little unbearable, after all, how innocent was the child, she muttered: "It's all mothers, why can't I understand it?" Let me take my time in this matter, if the king insists on doing so, then there is no way to do it. ”

Meng Jiang was overjoyed: "As long as the mother speaks, there will be no reason." This harem concubine is like a spring flower blooming stubble after stubble, but only you are the evergreen tree that blooms undefeated. ”

Fan Ji smiled dumbly: "You are obedient, much better than your sister-in-law." ”

In the Autumn Palace, Ji Jiang leaned weakly on the moire pillow, his face was pale, and his once smart eyes were now dim. Ji Diao knelt in front of the couch, holding a bowl of tonic soup and coaxing her to drink: "Niangniang, you have to take care of your body." You've also seen that since the aftermath of the battle, the king has never set foot in the palace gate. If you don't feel sorry for yourself, then others can't point to you! ”

Ji Jiang described it as withered, and he was weak when he spoke, and he looked disheartened: "Why don't I know? The words you have persuaded me every day are all good, and I am blamed for being blindly strong, and in the end I just suffered a loss for myself. ”

"Niangniang," Ji Diao put down the copper bowl: "You should know that the queen is the eldest in this harem, and the king will spoil you again, as long as she is covered on her head, you and the second prince will never come out." This woman is thoughtful, you have already offended her, and now there is still a king, she doesn't dare to make a mistake. If the crown prince ascends the throne one day, let alone this harem, even Niangniang's mother country will be at her mercy. Niangniang can't help but plan early! ”

"But what can I do? The king is not coming to me? Ji Jiang was sad.

Ji Diao encouraged her: "Although the king didn't come, he must feel guilty about his mother." Niangniang, you should know that a man's guilt and self-blame can also be the foundation that makes you stand in the harem. The most important thing is that the mother should cheer up, concentrate on serving the king, and don't mention the miscarriage again. The more you don't mention it, the more guilty the king becomes, what do you say? ”

Ji Jiang fell into deep thought------

When the hibiscus blossoms bloom and the autumn breeze is cool, the situation in the Hokyo Palace has changed somewhat. First of all, Ji Jiang has regained her favor, and the apologetic King Zhou Yi is very fond of her, and almost responds to her requests. The rewards of the Autumn Palace accounted for almost one-third of the palace expenses. And then Eyao, who has been unknown, suddenly became a new favorite, and was promoted from a tribute girl to the lord of a palace, which can be regarded as a sudden rise. The good news is that Deng Man and Huang Huan are happy one after another, and King Yi's harem has a wide range of heirs, and they are thriving.
