"Oh?" Ji Xie was startled, and stroked his hand on his wife's obviously bulging belly, clearly feeling the small but powerful impact, and was at a loss for a while: "Ah Ji, does it ------ matter?" Do you want to call a doctor to take a look? ”

Fanji thought it was funny, and slapped his frightened palm: "He's a villain, he has to move, move his hands and feet!" ”

Hearing this, Ji Xie felt that he was a little out of shape, and scratched his scalp: "I thought that I annoyed you tonight, so I tired the child in my belly." ”

"King, you can watch and deal with Ji Jiang's affairs. As long as it is for the good of the society of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the concubine's own grievances do not matter. Fanji lowered his eyelids, and his tone was helpless and a little firm.

The more she was like this, the more Ji Xie felt guilty, he took Fanji's hand and stroked her still slightly emaciated face: "Aji, I have wronged you these days." Actually, this kid ------ what you didn't want, you just had to give it to ------"

Before he finished speaking, he was blocked by one of Fanji's orchid-like cocked fingers: "King, let's talk about not mentioning the past again." In fact, I was also at fault in the past, as the king said, I was too stubborn, entangled in the past, hurting others and myself. Since I came back from the expedition, I had already made up my mind to leave the past behind, and after that, I only looked forward, and I never drank that soup since. If it weren't for ------"

She shook her head, smiled brightly and happily: "Forget it, don't talk about these unhappy things." In short, after this toss, the concubine also understood a lot of things. The king is in the position of the Son of Heaven, and many things are not for himself. As the queen, the concubine enjoys the worship of the world and respects the mother of the country, so naturally she can't just enjoy it, but also take responsibility. If the king needs to restore the second concubine for the sake of the stability of the country, the concubine can also understand and have no objection. ”

Ji Xie listened with a smile, the love in his eyes deepened, and he took out a bright red thing from behind him. Fanji took it in his hand and saw that it was a red jade concentric lock, a lock buckle, a lock, buckled together is a wishful silk shape, separated and formed, not only polished exquisitely, the jade color is also excellent. Rao is a well-informed queen herself, but such a high-quality red jade is also rare, bright and dazzling red, moist like a hot spring, held in the tender white palm, like a drop of blood.

The clear eyes of the two of them were rendered with a layer of warm fire by this red jade lock. Ji Xie gently rubbed the red jade with his fingertips, and suddenly whispered: "Ah Ji, you make up a veil yourself, and the two of us will wear half of it." Life after life, not separated. ”

Fanji's heart suddenly beats faster, who said that her heart is dead, as long as people are alive, there will still be breathing heartbeats, and there will be longing and anticipation, isn't it? She held back the tears that were about to burst her eyes, slowly leaned against his chest, and whispered, "I must wear it all the time, Dalang." ”

"Aji." Ji Xie hugged her tightly: "Gu already has three sons and two daughters, and soon, you will give birth to another child for Gu." That's enough------"

Fanji didn't understand the meaning of his words for a while, but he still thought it was a good word, and smiled sweetly.

"Congratulations to Grandpa Guo, the word has been passed down in the palace, and after the New Year, Grandpa Guo can return to the throne. No, the king still gives the gizzard, isn't that proof? Uncle Mei, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion, held up a piece of venison in his hand and smiled happily to Zhou Gongding.

Zhou Gongding was happy in his heart, but he still had to hold a shelf in front of the servants, and he stroked his beard: "They are all loved by the Son of Heaven and protected by their ancestors, what is the joy?" He suddenly remembered something, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any news in the palace?" ”

"Nothing else. The queen wants to raise a baby, and the affairs of the harem are all in charge of Eyao, she has been promoted, and now she is the second concubine with Ji Jiang, on an equal footing. The king still spoils the queen alone, and sleeps in the middle palace almost every night, even if there is an occasional summons, he will prepare a bowl of shunzi soup afterwards. It seems that it is an iron heart that allows the harem to only allow the queen to give birth from now on. ”

Zhou Gongding snorted from his nose: "The pet of the special room is also the grudge of the six palaces, and wait." ”

Uncle Mei came up and asked: "Grandpa Guo, now that he has been abolished, Ji Jiang Niangniang has also fallen out of favor, and the queen is dominant, we will have no one to rely on in the palace in the future." ”

"Not necessarily." Zhou Gongding said meaningfully.

"I said that the tree is too high, you have to climb it, now it's okay, your feet are twisted!"

"Prince, don't you want to see if there are any eggs in that bird's nest? I climbed up, and you're still looking down at the wind! And now you're blaming me? ”

On the path of the East Palace, Ji Hu approached step by step with the eight-year-old Wei He on his back, talking with one pair at a time. Suddenly, he bumped into a person, looked up, and was so frightened that he hurriedly threw Wei He to the ground: "Young Master, you are here!" ”

Zhao Bohu didn't bother to pay attention to the game of these two children at all, and asked Wei He anxiously: "Childe, have you seen Duoyou?" ”

"Brother Ziliang? He went back to the Calling House after drinking that day? I haven't been to the East Palace for the past few days! Wei and the childish little face were full of three words: I don't know.

"It's broken!" Zhao Bohu handed over a silk book in his hand, and his words were full of reluctance and desolation: "He left again, every time he was like this, he said he would leave, and he was not prepared at all." ”

There are a few big characters written on the silk book in cinnabar, which is concise and to the point: I will go back to the grassland! Zhao Bohu held Wei He's shoulder and asked, "You guys drank on Chinese New Year's Eve, did he say anything?" ”

Wei He's delicate eyebrows furrowed, as if he was carefully searching for his memory: "He seems to say that everyone has a home, only he is a lonely ghost, and he wants to go back to the grassland to find his own home or something." That's about what it means! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Bohu's hand loosened, turned around in a daze, and muttered: "It's me who ignored him, making him feel that he is a lonely ghost, wandering alone, it really shouldn't be!" ”

Ji Hu looked at his depressed back, and for some reason, he felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell why.

According to King Zhou Yi's original idea, he would wait until after the spring festival to restore Ji Jiang. But the arrival of an obituary accelerated the process: the death of the marquis of Ji, and the loss of the heir of the prince.

So, just after the New Year, King Yi passed down an edict: the second concubine Ji Jiang was lifted and reinstated. But he lost the right to associate the six houses forever.

The main room of the dormitory in the middle palace is quiet, the window sill is just half a grid, blowing into the early morning falling on the courtyard flowers and plants a little frost breath, the east table is placed on the small double unicorn protection Ganoderma lucidum purple jade incense burner, the mouth of the stove curls out fragrant cigarettes.

Ji Jiang hung his head and stood in front of the curtain under the guidance of the inner servant Jia, waiting for the summons of King Zhou and the queen. There was a faint conversation between the Son of Heaven and his wife in the room.

"Now that someone has come to greet me, why didn't the king call me up in the morning?" This was the queen's slightly disgusted tone.

"You must not have slept well last night, so what's the matter if you wake up later? It's not a big deal. Ji Xie didn't sound angry at all, but extremely gentle and concerned. Ji Jiang felt bitter in his heart, and tightly grabbed the handkerchief in his hand, as if it was Fanji's neck.

There was a sound of rustling clothes, thinking that Fan Ji was getting up: "Rao is like this, the king should also have breakfast first, and he doesn't have to wait for his concubines." ”

"You don't have to go to court early today, so why wait for you? What's more, there is a little bit of horizontal and vertical cushioning! ”

These few sentences of dialogue are full of the mutual respect and love of ordinary couples, plain and timeless, with a long aftertaste, and the listeners all have a sense of quiet years. But Ji Jiang only felt that his heart was whipped by their conversation, and he kept bleeding.

I don't know how long it took, but I only heard King Zhou Yi's voice: "Let her in!" ”

The chamberlain Jia lifted the curtain, Ji Jiang walked in, knelt in the middle, and didn't dare to look up: "Concubine to the king!" Greetings to the Queen! Thank you to the king and the mother for their love, so that the concubine can be restored to the second concubine, thank you! ”

Ji Xie raised his eyes and saw that she was wearing a brocade jacket trimmed with dark blue silk thin gray squirrel skin, and she was only wearing some plain and delicate silver jewelry, and a thin silver chain on her chest was pendant with a piece of extremely precious mutton fat white jade, which was warm and clear. This all-round dress does not apply the etiquette of filial piety for the father, but also is decent and elegant, and it obviously took a lot of thought.

"Uncle's matter, you don't have to be too sad, after all, you are also a person who has enjoyed his old age. The second concubine is going to mourn! Ji Xie's words were very official, but he couldn't hear half of the affection, and Ji Jiang was quite unwilling. When she raised her eyes, she saw that Fanji was sitting in front of the dresser, and her combing mother was inserting hairpins for her, and Ji Xie's eyes were staring at her back, and she was reluctant to move away.

Ji Jiang gritted his teeth and stepped forward: "Mama, let the concubine come and wait for the mother to make up." As he spoke, he seemed to be going to snatch the hairpin.

Ji Xie was taken aback, stepped forward, took the golden hairpin, and frowned: "There are people serving here, you can go back to Qiuliao Palace." The queen is pregnant and needs to recuperate, and in the future, like other palace concubines, if there is no summons, do not come to the middle palace to say goodbye, so as not to disturb the queen. ”

The tone is majestic and indefensible. Ji Jiang's movements froze for a moment, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he lowered his head sadly and moved away with nostalgia. The chamberlain Jia had already opened the curtain and suddenly heard a voice: "Wait a minute! ”

Ji Jiang turned back hopefully, Ji Xie turned around and said: "Gu has sent someone to send the second prince back to Qiuyu Palace, you will have children in the future, don't have any other thoughts, you have your own benefits." ”

"No!" Ji Jiang almost gritted his teeth and said this word.

As soon as he stepped out of the curtain, a very soft sneering voice from Ji Xie came from behind him: "Ah Ji, this hairpin is crooked, it's just that!" Let's let Mama come! ”

"There is a specialization in the art industry, you are so unconvinced." A chuckle followed.

When people are unlucky, drinking cold water will also stuff their teeth. Out of the gate of the Middle Palace, within two steps, Ji Jiang ran into Huang Huan who was holding the third prince again.

"Say hello to the second concubine! I haven't congratulated the mother on the reinstatement! It's just that the mother is mourning her father, otherwise she will invite all the sisters to gather in the Autumn Palace, and rush to this bad luck. Huang Huan's face was full of spring breeze, half mocking and half teasing.
