Just when she was angry, she rushed to the side yard, pointed at Meng Jiang, who was coaxing her daughter, and scolded her: "What have you done all day long? You can't even coax a girl."

?”

Meng Jiang looked tired: "Sister, Meng Ji hasn't been feeling well these days. She always wakes up at night and is prone to tossing during the day. She will be fine after a hundred days. Please forgive me, sister!"

"Excuse me?" Ji Jiang sneered: "Who are you going to forgive me? They are all born from concubines. The one I call Bo Ji, who was raised under the queen's knees, is not the same as the princess. But you can only be called Meng Ji, princes.

When we come to propose marriage, we only ask for Bo Ji by name, but you are not mentioned at all. What’s the use of you looking at her like a ball? In the future, Bo Ji will only be given as a dowry concubine and a side concubine of the Prince of Qi.

, just like you."

"Ah -" the baby girl suddenly burst out into a loud cry. Ji Jiang became even more angry. He rushed to the cradle and poked the child's face, leaving a slight blood mark immediately: "Why are you crying? I can't say anything about you yet."

Already?"

Meng Jiang didn't dare to come up to stop her. She just kowtowed to the ground and said, "Sister, please. Meng Ji is the king's daughter after all--"

Shu Diao also stepped forward to pull Ji Jiang's sleeve, and then she stopped and left bitterly.

Meng Jiang quickly picked up her daughter and gently stroked her injured face: "My child, my mother is incapable of protecting you, oh oh oh ------"

A bright hand handed over a brocade handkerchief. Meng Jiang looked up and saw it was Ju Ying. Tears immediately fell down like broken beads: "Sister Ying, our life as concubines is so miserable! Even our own

I can’t even protect my children!”

Ju Ying also had a look of indignation: "Just think of me as a human being. You are her sister and the biological daughter of Marquis Ji! Even when your father comes, he won't let you see him. When he is favored, he will drive you to live with me.

Living together, as soon as she got pregnant, she called you back to keep the king close to you. This is completely treating you like a toy. We all have to think more about ourselves."

Ji Jiang vented his anger and felt better. He returned to the inner room, leaned against the railing, and leisurely watched the palace maids and chambermaids cleaning up the mess that he had just made. Suddenly he remembered that there was still business that he had not taken care of, and asked Shudiao

Said: "Have you heard everything clearly?"

Shu Diao waved the silk fan in his hand and smiled flatteringly: "Actually, the king was not willing to agree to Qi Hou's proposal, but he changed his mind after a trip to the middle palace. It is probably the queen's.

The idea is to settle the old feud with a country like Qi, which will naturally consolidate the crown prince’s position in the future. The queen is very good at planning!"

"I knew it was her!" Ji Jiang punched his fist and made a shallow hole in the mattress next to him: "She just doesn't like me and is trying every means to attack me and Ji Guo. Huh! Your Majesty has just ascended the throne.

It’s not certain who will win!”

"That's right!" Diao Diao rolled his eyes and decided to add another insult: "But if this happens, Ji Hou's face will not be able to rest. People all over Hao Capital are rushing to curry favor with him.

Why? Isn’t it just because the empress is the king’s most beloved concubine, so as soon as Ji Hou enters the post house, the people who come to pay homage are like crucian carp crossing the river. But now, alas! How can Mr. Hou still have the face to shine in front of others? Listen!

He said that he had decided to return to his country at night."

"What?" Ji Jiang stood up and stamped his feet anxiously: "If you run away with your tail between your legs like this, wouldn't you become the laughing stock of the whole Hao capital? No, we can't just let it go!"

"Why don't you please ask your Majesty again to see if this matter can be changed?"

"The king's decree has been made, can it still be changed?" Ji Jiang hesitated.

"How do you know if you don't try? Your Majesty is pregnant. Even if the King refuses to agree, he will still feel that you owe your Majesty a favor. What's the harm?"

Ji Jiang made up his mind: "Yes, I will go and see the king right now."

After walking off the chariot, Ji Jiang suddenly felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen. She frowned and made a "hiss" sound in her mouth. Shu Diao noticed it and immediately held her hand and asked: "Empress, what's wrong?"

The main hall was in front of him, Ji Jiang shook his head: "It's okay, help me in."

The door of the palace was open, and there were only two servants on duty at the door. Suddenly, the voice of King Zhou Yi came from inside: "Yi Cheng came to report this morning. Ji Hou left the city in the early morning and returned to his country. I am alone here.

I feel really bad in my heart. I think back when my uncle was running around for the orphans in the Central Plains, but now due to the situation, he can't agree to his marriage proposal. Alas - it's also helpless!"

Ji Jiang held his stomach and shook his body. Did his father return to China so quietly? How aggrieved and disappointed he must be!

Another man's voice came out, it should be Zhou Gongding: "If your Majesty really wants to compensate Ji Hou, why not betroth Meng Jiang's daughter to Ji Shizi, they are both flesh and blood cousins, wouldn't it be better to marry each other?"

Ji Jiang felt an unknown anger in her heart, and she didn't care about the communication anymore. She pushed aside the little chamberlain who wanted to stop her, and stepped in: "Your Majesty, is my concubine's mother country so miserable?"

Seeing her come in, King Zhou Yi was very unhappy and scolded: "Why are you so rude? This is a place where government affairs are handled alone. Besides, there are foreign ministers here. You barged in without even saying hello, like this."

What does it look like?”

Zhou Gong was sure to understand and immediately said goodbye: "Your Majesty, I still have government affairs to deal with, so I'll take my leave first."

King Zhou Yi nodded, and Zhou Gongding turned around to meet Shu Diao at the door. The two exchanged meaningful glances. Unfortunately, neither Ji Xie nor Ji Jiang noticed this.

After scolding the left and right, Ji Jiang knelt down on the ground and said with tears on his face: "Your Majesty, my father is feeling miserable! In order to help your Majesty successfully succeed to the throne, he traveled around among the countries in the Central Plains. We, Ji Kingdom,

All the treasures in the treasury were empty. Song Wei Cao Chen, which country confiscated the precious tripods, jade, beauties and horses from our Kingdom of Ji? Your Majesty, my father has spent everything for you! But now, he just wants to ask for help.

To marry Wang Ji as the crown prince’s wife, the king actually refuses to agree to this request, how can it not chill him?”

These words made King Zhou Yi look ashamed. He helped Ji Jiang up and said with concern: "You are pregnant. You are running around under the bright sun. Don't let your baby get pregnant!"

He took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped Ji Jiang's tears, and comforted him: "Cousin, please calm down. I will definitely find a way to compensate my uncle, for sure!"

"How to compensate?" Ji Jiang choked and asked: "This old man has lost so much face in front of the civil and military officials of the court. How can he have the face to come to the capital in the future? I don't care, please change Boji to Xu Jiguo. My father

Only women can save face."

"Nonsense!" King Zhou Yi was also angry: "Is this child's play? I have made a promise to Qi, how can I change it overnight? This matter is definitely not allowed! Is the face of your father and daughter more important or the stability of my country in Zhou Dynasty?"

Ji Jiang saw that he was really angry and knew that his request was too much, so he took a step back: "Your Majesty, in this case, I am not unsympathetic to you. It's okay to follow Duke Zhou's method just now, but Meng Jiangzhi

How about my daughter be renamed Zhongji, recorded in my concubine’s name, and promised to my brother as the crown prince’s wife?”

Ji Xie sighed, came up to coax her and said: "Cousin, brothers, uncles and uncles are the order of legitimate sons and legitimate daughters. Guruo promised you, where did he put the queen?"

Ji Jiang couldn't hold back her anger any longer. She stood up in a hurry and said, "This won't work, and that won't work either! Your Majesty only thinks about the Queen. Why did you ever think about our mother and son?"

She suddenly shut up, her eyes wide open, showing fear. King Zhou Yi was frightened, shook her shoulders and asked: "Cousin, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Jiang lowered her head and saw that there were three or two drops of bright red blood on the ground under her feet. She panicked and hurriedly held Ji Xie's hands: "Your Majesty, save me, save our children!"

Ji Xie shouted: "Quick, call the doctor!"

In Qiuliao Palace, the palace people were busy, bringing out a basin of bright red blood from time to time, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood. Fanji stood in the outer room and kept giving orders to this and that: "Nurse, put the

The second prince should take him to Meng Jiang. The child staying here will offend the blood." After a while, he asked the chamberlain Jia: "Has anyone arranged to clean up the main hall? That is the place where the king handles government affairs. No dirt should be left.

.”

After everything was arranged, Fanji opened the curtain and came in. He saw Ji Xie sitting on the couch outside, looking miserable, like a child who had gotten into trouble and not daring to raise his head. As soon as he walked in, he held her hand and kept talking.

: "Queen, it's Gu's fault. I should have promised her everything and shouldn't have fought with her. I really regret it!"

"Your Majesty!" Fan Ji wanted to bring this lost child back to a rational state: "You are the king of the world, so naturally you have to put national affairs first. It is said that 'the emperor has no family affairs'. How can you easily change national policy because of a woman?

What's more, I just asked the palace people of Qiu Lia Palace. Ji Jiang lost his temper in the palace for a long time and smashed everything that could be smashed. He must have moved his fetus. This matter has nothing to do with the king.

She is too willful!"

"Even so, I only made her angry!" King Zhou Yi grabbed his hair and pulled it back desperately, as if he wanted to pick up his scalp.

Just at this moment, an old doctor came out of the inner room. King Zhou Yi and Fan Ji immediately came forward to greet him: "How is it?"

The old man bowed deeply and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the second concubine is so angry that she is running around in this hot weather. She is really pregnant. Less than a year after she gave birth to the second prince, she became pregnant again before her body recovered.

, it should take good care of itself and should not be moved lightly. Alas!" He shook his head: "This fetus is gone!"

King Zhou Yi felt dizzy for a while, and Fan Ji supported him and turned around and asked: "Then ------ can the second concubine give birth to a dragon heir for the king again in the future?"

"Well------" the old man stroked his gray beard, with a troubled expression on his face: "I can't say for sure, but the king should be prepared. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the second concubine to have children again in the future!"
