Volume 2 Reversal of the Song One Hundred and Forty-Five Heart Knots
"This, with a beautiful face, hooked up at home. Webber went to Hokyung, and she hooked up with my man, and I ------ I was going to tear her face! "The young lady hated and wanted to go out.
"Think again, young lady!" Yun'er hugged her thighs stubbornly: "That Guan Ji is not the young master's concubine, the young lady wants to fight, she is a woman of the uncle, she can't move!" If the young lady acts rashly, she can just go to the evil seed in her womb, and the child is gone, who dares to say that it is not Weber's? At that time, she will buckle this basin on the young lady's head, even the master will not be able to pass the test! ”
"What then? Just because of her with a daughter and two husbands, my Shi family is not at peace? The young lady shouted hatefully and unwillingly.
"The slave maid has an idea, Madame can throw out this hot potato, and she can stop the young master's thoughts!" Yun'er peeked at the face of the mistress and said softly.
"Dump to whom?" The young lady asked in a low voice.
Yun'er Zhengse said: "Mrs. Wei Gong and Uncle Wei have always been on good terms, and they are worried that they don't have the handle to handle the king!" If the young lady enters the palace and informs the lady about the concubine, the lady will definitely take the woman into the palace to give birth, and then the matter of the concubine will be with the Shi family and the young lady. She entered the palace, and the young master couldn't see her again, so he naturally changed his mind, so wouldn't it be good? ”
"But ------" Mrs. Shi Shao hesitated a little: "If Mrs. Tai knows that she is only two months pregnant, she will know that it is not Wei Bo's, and then she will ask the guilt and my Shi family, what should I do?" ”
"Oh my young lady!" Yun'er explained: "The person was taken in by Mrs. Tai, and she still doesn't eat this dumb loss, and she covers up a little by herself?" Besides, she wished that Ji had a handle in her hands, how could she shout so easily? Besides------" Seeing that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and said: "This time, Gongzi and the country have made immortal contributions, but the prince is rejected by the Son of Heaven, and the world knows it. Who can say what will happen in the future? It's better for the young lady to sell in front of the lady in the palace, and leave a way back for the Shi family in the future, right? ”
"You're right." The young lady praised: "My father-in-law is bent on betting on Wei Boyu, it's like putting all his eggs in one basket, and if he falls, it's all gone." I really should find a way out for my husband. ”
The oblique moon is crystal clear, and the room is full of gloomy light. A woman covered in plain veils walked slowly into the back bedroom of the Wei Palace under the guidance of the maid's palace lamp, which was the bedroom of the Marquis of Xian.
Mrs. Qi was reclining on the couch, and although she had changed her underwear, she didn't seem to mean to go to bed immediately, obviously waiting for someone. When the woman came into the room, Ying Ying knelt down and said, "The concubine asks Mrs. Wei for peace." ”
"You're Guan Ji?" Mrs. Qi straightened up and asked.
"The concubine is the concubine, Mrs. Meng Wei did not give up, and took the concubine to the palace, I am very grateful." Guan Ji was dressed in plain clothes, her face was covered with a veil, and the green lights in the room were shining, which made her figure extremely cold and lonely.
"You don't have to thank Bengong." Mrs. Qi waved her sleeves and said, "The young lady of the Shi family specially entered the palace for your business, showing that you are pregnant." Since it is Wei Bo's flesh and blood, naturally he can't be left outside, otherwise how can my Ji surname Wei's face exist? You don't have to thank me, it's still your own belly! By the way, how many months are you pregnant? ”
Because of the veil, Guan Ji's face couldn't be seen clearly, but her voice was a little trembling and uneasy: "Mrs. Yu, it's been four months since ------. ”
Four months? Mrs. Qi sneered in her heart: Sure enough, she was a treacherous and slippery, pregnant with the evil seed of the Shi family, and wanted to get away with it like this. Well, let's do what you want. She continued: "It's been four months, and it must have been there before Wei Bo left. In this way, the palace has been instructed to go down, and another side room will be opened in this palace for you to raise the fetus. There is no need to share a room with the other concubines of the king, and they will not be blushing. ”
"Thank you, Mrs. Tai, for taking care of you!" Guan Ji was relieved, and there was a bit of genuine gratitude in her tone.
Seeing that she seemed to have the intention of saying goodbye, Mrs. Yan was quite unhappy in her heart, and said abruptly: "You have been wearing this veil since you entered the room, and now you have to live under the same roof with the palace for a long time." You can't keep showing your true colors? ”
"Mrs. Tai's anger is relieved!" Guan Ji knelt down and pleaded: "This is Uncle Wei's instructions before leaving, ask the concubine to cover her face with a veil as much as possible, and don't show it to others easily." ”
"Oh? Is it? Mrs. Qi snorted coldly: "You listen to him like this? I heard the young lady of the Shi family say that you were not always masked when you were in the Shi family, and the father-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Shi family have all seen your true face. Now that he has entered the Wei Palace, he has to cover his face in front of the palace, is it because he is despising the palace? ”
"Mrs. Forgive! The concubine came from Lu Lane, and she was afraid that her words and deeds would be vulgar, and she was afraid that she would lose her posture in front of Mrs. Tai, so she covered her face. Since Mrs. Tai has orders, the concubine should remove the veil. ”
Guan Ji gently removed the veil, and Mrs. Qi felt that the candle on the table flickered, as if the whole room was lit up. I don't know how long it took for Mrs. Qi to let out a long breath and said slowly: "No wonder Weibo wants you to wear a veil------ you are too much like her------
Guan Ji was puzzled in her heart, and asked timidly: "Who does Mrs. Tai say the concubine looks like?" ”
"Nothing? Stand down! Mrs. Qi waved her sleeves tiredly, and Guan Ji had no choice but to retire.
It was late at night, and Guan Ji had already been gone for a long time, but Mrs. Ji tossed and turned, unable to sleep for a long time. She simply got up and paced outside. Guan Ji's face appeared repeatedly in front of her eyes, and her mood that had been calm for many years couldn't help but set off waves.
These two faces are so similar! No wonder Wei Yu took the charge of "not marrying with the same surname", and at the risk of being deposed, he accepted this woman as an outer room, and went to great lengths to place her in Shifu before going to Beijing------ no wonder! No wonder.
She thought about how amiable the woman known as "the first beauty of the grassland" was when she first entered the palace, she smiled like a light cloud, and spoke like a spring breeze, who in the palace didn't love her? She loves herself so much, and loves this little girl who has just entered the palace as if she were her own sister, but what about herself? ------
Even though time has changed, but when I dream back at midnight and think of her, how can I not be empty-hearted? I heard that she was not doing well after remarrying, and she was even more like a fish in her throat, as if she was a thief who had stolen other people's valuable treasures.
"Sister Kui------" she sighed, "Do you hate me?" I really ask this question, can I not hate? Even I hate myself, let alone you. ”
Yes, she is weak-hearted. Sister Kui is a knot in her heart that she can't untie in her life, she will think of her when she sees Guan Ji, and she will think of her even more when she sees Kui Duoyou. Alas! Duoyou------ this young man should have been like Wei He, a dignified prince of the country, but now he has been expelled from the Wei clan, everything is thanks to her! They are all self-inflicted sins, where will this retribution fall in the future?
Kui Duoyou was galloping on the ancient gallop on the northwestern border of the country, not knowing that someone was talking about him. A few days ago, after going out of the north gate, he headed straight for the lonely bamboo country in the northwest. The final destination of this envoy was the Kingdom of Wuzhong, contacting the newly enthroned King Zhiyu to jointly crusade against the Kui Nu, and at the same time allied with the Patriotic Nation, so that the two countries could communicate with each other and no longer interfere with each other.
If you go straight north from Chaoge, it is the territory of Kui Rong, although this road is close, but it does not work. Therefore, he chose to pass through the Lonely Bamboo Country from the northwest direction, and then enter the territory of Wuzhong, although it was necessary to detour, but it was more secure. For the sake of convenience, he and his entourage pretended to be merchants and traveled all the way with a few carts of gifts for the Endless Kingdom. Lone Bamboo is the same as Wu Ji is the country of Rong Di, there is only one Lone Bamboo City, and the rest are nomadic tribes.
Seeing that the Lonely Bamboo City was in front of him, Kui Duoyou was very happy in his heart.
Outside the city of Suiyang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, in the temporary camp. Wei Boyu listened to Shi Jiao's report from Shi Jiao, who came in a hurry, and was taken aback: "What? The soldiers have already withdrawn? Then won't I return in vain as the Eighth Master of Zhou? ”
"Exactly. Mrs. Tai asked her ministers to come and ask the general to send the army back to Luoyi and return the military talismans. Shi Jiao said.
Wei Boyu was extremely unwilling: "It is not easy for my army to go on the expedition, if we return like this, won't the widow lose face in front of King Zhou?" No, since the army has already reached this point, why not just move forward and exterminate Kui Rong and Endless, wouldn't it be a big achievement? ”
"Your Excellency!" Shi Jiao knelt down and admonished: "After this battle, Chaoge has been seriously injured, the whole country has run out of grain and grass, and the common people and the army need to rest. There are regulations for the Eighth Division of Chengzhou to go to the army, and the loss of food, grass and weapons required is provided by the country where it is located, so I really can't afford to defend the country! ”
Wei Boyu took a few steps forward, grabbed Shi Jiao's collar and forced his gaze: "Doctor, to tell the truth, is it Mrs. Tai who does not let the widow make meritorious contributions, or is the grain and grass committee in the country really exhausted?" ”
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Tai does mean this, but this ------ is also true! Before Rong Di's defeat, there was a plague of locusts within a radius of 50 miles from Chaoge, and he was afraid that the harvest of the coming year would also be affected. Now that the grain and grass in the city are exhausted, the minister came this time and took the mission to borrow 200,000 stone corn from the Song State to return to the country. War, I really can't afford to defend the country. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent Kui Duoyou to the Rongdi Grassland to make peace! ”
"That's it!" Wei Boyu slammed his fist on the wall pillar: "Then let the general return to Yuyi with the soldiers, and you and I will leave tomorrow to return to China!" ”
The Guzhu Kingdom, like the Wuzhong Kingdom, has received the title of the Zhou royal family, and the titles are not high, and they are all viscounts. However, after the drowning of King Han of Zhou, the two countries no longer submitted to the Zhou family with peace of mind, and began to proclaim themselves kings in the north. The emperor is far away, and Zhou Tianzi can't control it so much.
Although it was not long apart, because of the desert barrier, Guzhu had little contact with Weiguo. Therefore, for this small country, Kui Duoyou is far less familiar than Kui Rong. It is only known that its land area and national strength are far inferior to those of Wuzhong, and its people are also semi-nomadic and semi-agrarian, serving as soldiers in wartime and serving as civilians in peacetime.
