Due to the illness of accompanying King Zhou Yi, Fanji stayed in a secret room filled with herbs and incense for almost twenty days, and almost never left the main hall. It was easy to survive until Ji Xie's illness recovered and went to court, so she had the opportunity to go to the imperial garden to take a breather.

However, I haven't visited the garden for two or three months, and I have gone from winter to early summer, and the peaches and plums in the garden are grateful, and the acacia is flying, and even some lotus flowers in the pond have begun to bud. Fan Ji had a feeling of being separated from the world for a while.

Unconsciously, she walked along the poolside to the vicinity of Zeshui Palace, and there was a young woman's laughter in the distance, and Fan Ji couldn't help but feel a move in her heart, and she remembered that Qi Jiang seemed to have been living here. Then he lifted the hem of his skirt and walked towards the wooden bridge.

The pool is sparkling, and the early summer sun reflects on the water like a pile of undulating gold. There are a few women squatting on the water's edge to pick water chestnuts, their skirts are dragged to their waists, holding their trouser legs, standing in the water, with a natural charm.

Fanji looked funny, and couldn't help but stand on the bridge and laugh, who would have thought that the three women would hear it. The woman at the head was dressed in brocade, and hurriedly took the other two women in cloth to tidy up their skirts, walked to the bridge and knelt down, and said loudly: "The courtiers meet the queen!" ”

"Presumably you are Qi Jiang, right?" Fanji slowly got off the bridge, helped her up, and asked curiously, "Have you seen me?" ”

"Yes. On the day when Niangniang returned to the palace, the king led you all the way to the East Palace, and the courtiers saw the demeanor of Niangniang on the side of the road, so they knew it. Qi Jiang raised his head slightly and replied.

Fanji saw Qi Jiang Jun's long and soft eyeliner, soft and subtle jaw, and between the answers, the pair of slightly curled long eyelashes did not move at all, like quiet and immobile butterfly wings, and the beautiful face was as quiet as water. Although she is dressed elegantly, she exudes a calm atmosphere, and she seems to be a difficult character. For such a woman, there is only one way to go straight.

"I heard that when you lived in Zeshui Palace, you had some adventures." Fanji is determined to go straight in.

Qi Jiang said leisurely: "It's okay. It's just that someone is pretending to be a ghost, and the courtier took the two girls around her to beat the person who pretended to be a ghost to the head and bleed, and fled in the wilderness. ”

Fanji listened to it funny and quipped: "You're not afraid? ”

"What is there to fear about the courtiers?" Qi Jiang straightened his chest and said: "I have no grievances with Deng Manniang, I haven't seen me in person, even if she really turns into a ghost, she will never find me as an irrelevant person!" ”

Fan Ji praised: "You can think so clearly and clearly, it is the person who pretends to be a ghost who underestimates you!" ”

"People who don't have anything to rely on naturally have to figure everything out."

The badger sheep on the side frowned, she felt that this Qi Jiang was too aggressive to speak, but seeing that Fanji's expression was as usual, she also lowered her head and said nothing. Qi Jiang also seemed to understand that his words were a little offended, and then he apologized and said: "The courtier's words are rude, and she bumped into the queen's mother, please forgive her sins!" ”

"It's okay," Fan Ji shook the handkerchief in his hand: "You are not a concubine in the palace now, so you don't have to abide by those red tapes." I heard that you are the daughter of the widow of the Marquis of Xianqi, whether it is the first Marquis of Wai or the current Marquis of Hu, there are daughters who are about the same age as you, why don't you send them here and send you to the palace? ”

A strange expression appeared on Qi Jiang's pretty face, three points of grievance, four points of resentment, and another point of helplessness: "Niang Niang is a smart person, how can I not know?" If this is really a good thing, how can my two eldest brothers, who are princes, not send their own daughters? I'm the only one who has nothing to rely on. ”

Yes, since King Zhou Yi killed the Marquis of Qi Ai, how could he accept and love his sister? Her entry into the palace was just a means and tool to appease Qi Huhou. What's more, there is a daughter of the culprit who killed her brother, what happiness does she have? This is understood by everyone, Qi Jiang is so smart, how can he not know?

"Okay," Fan Ji flicked his sleeves and said, "Your mind is understood." is also a woman, this palace advises you, women are born with real hardship, if you can't think about everything for the better, it is to add to your own blockage. It's better to relax your heart and look ahead with your eyes ahead, which is the right reason! ”

As soon as the words fell, she had walked onto the wooden bridge. Qi Jiangmu stood in place in a daze, as if chewing on the words she left behind------

Fanji's eyes were sharp, and he saw a figure in a black robe and a leather crown walking down the steps of the main hall from a distance, walking away quickly, and muttering to himself: "Isn't that a divination official?" What did the king call him for? ”

"Niangniang, you have been accompanying the king I don't know, and now there are rumors in the palace that the king is very sick." The sheep said in a low voice.

"Oh? This is strange, could it be that she is a thief shouting to catch a thief? Fan Ji said sarcastically.

The two slowly climbed the steps, and the chamberlain Jia was guarding the door of the hall, and was about to open his mouth to shout, but Fan Ji stopped him: "Don't disturb the king!" ”

There was a woman's voice inside, delicate and gentle about to drip water, which one is not Ji Jiang?

"The king, the concubine said that you still don't believe it, this time the diviner has taken the hexagram, can you not believe it?" There is a woman from the east, obscure me Zichen', this means that a woman from the east will be detrimental to the king! The king has always been in good health, but he fell ill when he returned to the palace, isn't there a broom star? During these days, in addition to Mrs. Zhao in the palace, this Qi Jiang was later, and Mrs. Zhao was the wife of a minister, and she didn't come from the east, so she was not her. Isn't it clear who this is talking about? When Qi Guo wanted to send a daughter, the concubine felt that it was inappropriate, but the queen insisted on it. Now that someone has sent it, how can it be good? ”

The sheep was so angry that he pinched Fanji's sleeves tightly, and his face was very tense. Fanji's heart moved, and suddenly there was a bright color in front of him, so it was! Ji Jiang's purpose is here, it turns out that her goal is Qi Jiang, to strangle this possible harem enemy in the cradle, this is her ultimate goal!

"However, after all, the new Marquis of Qi has just ascended the throne, and he needs Lone's support to establish his authority, and Lone can't sweep his face too much!" Ji Xie's tone was a little embarrassed.

Hearing this, Fan Ji knew that he couldn't be silent any longer, so he coughed heavily, and the chamberlain Jia understood, and shouted: "The queen has arrived!" ”

Fanji slowly entered the hall, Ji Jiang stood in front of the Wang case, and saluted obediently, but his face was raised high, which was quite provocative. King Zhou Yi sat in front of the king's case and beckoned: "The king is coming back!" It just so happens that there is something to discuss with you! ”

Fanji walked to the second seat and sat down, straightened his sleeves, and did not mean to pick up the stubble. Ji Xie understood, turned his face to Ji Jiang and said, "Okay, Lone and the queen have something to discuss." Go back to the palace! ”

Ji Jiang looked unwilling, but he didn't dare to refute, and knelt down hatefully.
