"What kind of orb is it? Take it and show me. Zhao Bohu's words were cold.

Meng Ji trembled and took out a jewel the size of a pigeon's egg from his sleeve, and it was really radiant and radiant, twice as large as the pearl sent by Wu Di. Zhao Bohu glanced at it and said coldly: "Recently, the Hou of Ehou has repeatedly admonished and asked to return the ownership of Tonglu Mountain to the E-State. I said why he was so justified, it turned out that you took this orb! Hum! ”

Meng Ji was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he kowtowed again and again: "Concubine doesn't know! Hoping that the grandfather will forgive the sins, the concubine saw that this jewel was really rare, and thought that her sister gave birth to a daughter as the palm bead of the grandfather, and the meaning was correct. But I don't know that there are these things behind it, and the grandfather forgives the concubine for the crime of ignorance! ”

"You are not ignorant, but short-sighted!" Zhao Bohu flicked his sleeves and reprimanded angrily: "Sure enough, she is the daughter of a concubine, her eyes are shallow, and when she sees something good, she is greedy." That's it, you leave the family affairs to Uncle Mi, go back to the house and reflect! ”

"No!" Meng Ji put down the orb and silently withdrew from the house. She could feel the servants in the hall all casting disdainful glances at her, and she was momentarily ashamed, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.

"The daughter of the concubine, the eyelids are shallow-------" Is it possible that as a concubine, she will never be able to get ahead?

In the main hall of the palace, when Zhao Bohu hurriedly came in, Zhou Li Wang Ji Hu was concentrating on making a small peachwood sword, and the third prince Ji Ci was looking at Brother Wang's arms flying up and down with adoring eyes. When the monarch and the ministers saw that the ceremony was over, they knew that they had state affairs to discuss, so Shaoji very obediently took Zhong Ji with one hand and Ji Ci with the other, and withdrew.

"The king is really getting more and more like an eldest brother now!" Zhao Bohu said half jokingly, half admiringly.

Ji Hu waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "This is also a helpless thing!" Lonely is ashamed of Huang Huan's mother, and can no longer wronged the third brother and second sister. By the way, what is the important matter of the young father's coming? ”

Zhao Bohu saluted and said: "The minister is here to ask the king to issue an edict, the spring plowing season is tight, and all the princes in Beijing are strictly ordered to return to the country within five days to govern the country, so as not to waste the agricultural time." ”

Ji Hu understood that since the funeral of the first king was over, all the princes returned to the country. Now those who still stay in the capital city and refuse to leave are only the Duke of Yu, the Marquis of Ehou and the Marquis of Suihou, who are still in the capital of Ho. The reasons for this are self-explanatory. The Marquis of Ehou has repeatedly asked for the return of the ownership of the Tonglu Mountain, and the Hou refused to give up the Tonglu Mountain, and the two of them quarreled every day, and each asked the Son of Heaven and Zhaogong to uphold justice for their own family. The government and the opposition know all about this matter, and there are many discussions, if there is no conclusion, I am afraid that other incidents will arise.

"Humph!" Ji Hu slapped the case and said angrily: "This Ehou is too much!" In order to appease him, the first king had already canonized his sister-in-law as the queen, and she pressed a mother-in-law on Lone's head. Lone's tone has been forbearing, and now he has to make an inch, and he wants a copper green mountain, isn't it wishful thinking? ”

"King Mingjian!" Zhao Bohu said unhurriedly: "The minister has thought about it carefully. Tonglu Mountain is still continued to be controlled by the country, and it is better to follow the Jianghan country, and the surname Ji is close to the branch, and it should be the important weapon of the Great Zhou. And the country of Hu is the country of Yin Shang, and it has always been in harmony with my Zhou room, and King Wu did not come to the alliance when he came, and his heart was different. A few years ago, they themselves were defeated by the Chu State, and the loss of the teacher humiliated the country, if it was not for the king himself to go on the expedition, the Tonglu Mountain has fallen into the hands of the Chu Man. Now, what is his merit in Hubei, and why did he come to take the Copper Green Mountain? Your Majesty, this is not an example! ”

"Good!" Ji Hu resolutely minded: "Tomorrow's court meeting, the orphan will personally issue an edict, and if the princes do not return to the country within five days, they will be regarded as complicit in rebellion!" In the end, he hated again: "Ehou Yufang dares to be so presumptuous, isn't it relying on his sister's crown of queen?" Lone really hates this kind of being restrained! ”

Zhao Bohu was silent. But Jia, the waiter standing at the door, moved in his heart, and inadvertently straightened his chest, and his placket was lined with a rustling sound, where there was the edict left by King Zhou Yi for him------

In the dormitory of Xuanning Palace, Queen Yi Eyao was holding the jewel in her hand and playing with it repeatedly. She had ordered all the candles to be extinguished, and the temple was dark, but the light of the orb poured out like a bright moon in the dark night sky, illuminating half of the dormitory. With such a treasure, all the palace maids were stunned!

"That Zhaoguo Gong really doesn't know how to lift, as the uncle of the country, the Marquis of Ehou will give such a treasure, and he will return it to his mother like this? It's really ------" the maid muttered indignantly, but she didn't know what words to describe it, so she had to shut up angrily.

"He's not wrong." E Yao said categorically: "With short hands, my brother sent this jewel to get the copper green mountain, whether it is Zhaogong or the king, he is determined to give it, why does he want to accept this jewel?" Not only will he not accept it, but I will not accept it. Tomorrow, you will return this pearl to the Marquis. ”

"But Niangniang, wouldn't the Marquis of Ehou have more dislike with Niangniang?" Uncle Yu asked puzzled.

"You still have to tell him that the matter of Tonglu Mountain will not be mentioned again in the future, and this palace will not be able to help him." E Yao thought about it for a while, and added: "One more sentence, after the elder brother's children grow up, if they want to marry the king, this palace can plan for the mother country." ”

She smiled bitterly and muttered to herself: "A woman who can't have children has no roots in her husband's family, and her mother's family is the only one to rely on." I don't dare to offend anyone! ”

Chaoge East City, when the time comes, the market is full of people coming and going, bustling. It's the busiest time of the day. A two-horse van slowly drove through the market and stopped in front of a pharmacy. A woman wearing a hat slowly got out of the car with the help of a maid, followed by a man dressed as a servant. The woman was dressed in a plain gauze brocade robe, with a plain gauze scarf on her face, slender and delicate, full of immortals, and when she looked at it coldly, she was as hazy and mysterious as the moonlight.

About half an hour later, the woman came out of the pharmacy, her steps a little stagnant, obviously not as light as when she came. Before leaving the door, she suddenly turned back to the medicine shop and said, "Tomorrow at this time, my maid will come to get the medicine." You'll need to be ready. Her voice rustled, like an early morning mist, rippling in all directions.

"Okay, you, you can't miss Madame." The shopkeeper replied aloud.

The carriage starts, and it gallops around the corner, and then disappears. Another young woman dressed as a servant woman flashed into the pharmacy, and without saying anything, she sat in front of the middle-aged man's desk, and without saying a word, took out a piece of copper cake and threw it on the case. The copper cake weighed half a catty, and Lang Zhong's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and he asked repeatedly: "This eldest sister, how do you see it?" ”

"Needless to say, what kind of disease does that lady have?"

Anyway, I don't know who it is, for the sake of the copper cake, what can't be said? Lang Zhong replied without hesitation: "That masked lady is two months pregnant. ”

"What? Two months? Are you sure it's two months? Not four months? The servant woman raised her voice first, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then lowered her voice and asked.

"Look at what you said, although you are not talented, it is not wrong to be a few months pregnant. It's two months, and there's nothing wrong with that. Being questioned about his medical skills, Lang Zhong was a little displeased.

The servant woman ignored it and continued to ask, "Then she is here to prescribe fetal pills?" ”

"That's the weirdness of that." Lang Zhong stroked his beard and said: "She wants to prescribe an abortion pill with her, this is the first child, and it is obviously a dangerous thing to have an abortion rashly." But the masked lady was very resolute, and she could only respond. ”

The servant's eyes rolled, and a set of words flowed out of her mouth: "Lang Zhong, that one just now is the young lady of my family." Because of the quarrel with my son-in-law, I insisted on having an abortion, and my wife was in a hurry. Tomorrow, the maid will come to get the medicine, and trouble the doctor to change a good pair of fetal pills with her. ”

After finishing speaking, he took out two more copper cakes and said softly: "When the young lady gives birth to a child, my wife will be thanked." ”

Lang Zhong couldn't help but accept the copper cake, got up and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

After guarding the palace, the woman dressed as a servant changed into a palace dress and whispered in Mrs. Qi's ear for a long time. At the end, he added: "The slave has bought Na Langzhong and replaced the abortion pill with a fetal pill, and Mrs. Tai can rest assured." ”

A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of Mrs. Qi's mouth: "Hmph! Wei Yu has been gone for almost four months, if he is two months pregnant, he will naturally be the wild seed of the Shi family. No wonder she had an abortion quietly, but it was good to end the matter before Wei Yu came back. This palace can't let her be so relieved, how can such a good handle be let go gently? You're smart! ”

The palace woman couldn't help but be overjoyed when she received this compliment, and hurriedly offered a plan: "Mrs. Xie praises, but if Guan Ji fails to have an abortion once, she must change her pharmacy and do it again." Mrs. Tai still has to try to bring her into the palace and put her under her nose, so that she can't turn over the tricks. ”

"Why doesn't Hongu want this?" Mrs. Yi frowned and said, "It's just that now, everyone knows that I am not on good terms with Weber. If I come forward so openly to bring that Guan Ji into the Wei Palace, I'm afraid that it will be too deliberate, and if there is anything in the future, I can't figure it out. That's how hard it is. ”

"Mrs. Don't worry!" The palace maid flattered: "The slave maid has a maiden niece, who is listening to the young lady of the Shi family. As long as Guan Ji is pregnant revealed through her, the Shi family is afraid of things, and they will definitely send that woman to the palace. ”

Mrs. Qi's eyes lit up, and she said to the palace woman: "In this way, you quickly go to your niece, and say ------" She whispered something in her ear, and the palace woman understood: "Mrs. Tai is really extremely intelligent, so it will be foolproof, and the slave and maid will leave the palace." ”

In the Chaoge City, the mansion of the Shangdaifu Shijiao family is second to none in terms of scale and momentum. After all, it is the home of important ministers who have been the secretary of state for generations, not to mention the master, even the house slaves and maids are very decent to enter and exit.

But at this time, the young lady of the Shi family, that is, the wife of Shi Jiaoyan's eldest son, was shrouded in gloom and misery in her heart. Because she had just learned an earth-shattering news from her maid Yun'er - her father-in-law raised Wei Bo in the outer room of the house, and she was two months pregnant.
