Because he had to attend to King Zhou Yi's illness, Fanji spent almost twenty days in a secret room filled with herbs and incense, and almost never left the main hall. Finally, Ji Xie recovered from his illness and went to court.

Only then did she have the opportunity to take a walk in the Royal Garden to get some fresh air.

However, I hadn't been to the garden for two or three months, and it turned out that I had gone from winter to early summer. The peaches and plums in the garden were all gone, acacias were flying, and even some lotus flowers in the pond were beginning to bud. Fanji felt like he was separated from this world for a moment.

Unknowingly, she walked along the poolside to the vicinity of Zeshui Palace. A burst of laughter from a young woman could be heard in the distance. Fanji couldn't help but her heart moved. She remembered that Qi Jiang seemed to have been living here. Then she lifted up her skirt and walked towards the wooden bridge.

Go.

The pool is sparkling, and the early summer sunlight reflects on the water, like a pile of undulating gold, dazzling the eyes. There are several women squatting by the waterside, picking water chestnuts, with their skirts pulled to their waists, holding up their trouser legs, standing

In the water, there is a natural charm.

Fan Ji looked amused and couldn't help but laugh out loud while standing on the bridge. Unexpectedly, the three women heard him. The leading woman was dressed in brocade and hurriedly took the other two women in common clothes to tidy up their skirts and walked to the bridge.

He knelt down and worshiped, and said loudly: "My lord, I pay my respects to the queen!"

"You must be Qi Jiang, right?" Fan Ji slowly got off the bridge, helped her up, and asked curiously: "Have you seen me?"

"Yes. On the day when the queen returned to the palace, the king led you all the way to the East Palace. My daughter saw her graceful appearance on the roadside, so she recognized her." Qi Jiang raised his head slightly and replied.

Fan Ji saw Qi Jiangjun's long and soft eyeliner, soft and subtle chin, and her pair of long, slightly raised eyelashes did not move at all during the conversation, like silent butterfly wings, and her beautiful face was as calm as water. Although she was dressed up,

She is simple and elegant, but exudes a sense of calmness. She seems to have a temper that is not easy to control. For such a woman, the only way is to go straight.

"I heard that you had quite a few adventures when you lived in Zeshui Palace." Fan Ji decided to go straight in.

Qi Jiang said calmly: "It doesn't matter. It's just that someone was pretending to be a ghost. My daughter and the two girls around me beat the pretender to a bloody head and fled."

Fan Ji heard it funny and joked: "Aren't you afraid?"

"What do you have to be afraid of, my lord?" Qi Jiang straightened his chest and said, "I have no enmity with Empress Deng Man. She has never seen me. Even if she really turned into a ghost, she would never look for me."

The right person is the right person!"

Fan Ji praised: "You can think so clearly, it's because the pretender has underestimated you!"

"If you don't have anyone to rely on, you will naturally have to figure everything out."

Yanyang Si on the side frowned. She felt that Qi Jiang's words were too offensive, but seeing Fan Ji's expression as usual, she lowered her head and said nothing. Qi Jiang seemed to understand that his words were offensive, and apologized again.

Said: "My rude words have offended the queen, please forgive me!"

"It doesn't matter," Fan Ji shook the handkerchief: "You are not a concubine in the palace yet, so you don't have to abide by those red tapes. I heard that you are the posthumous daughter of Marquis Xiangui, regardless of whether you are the first Marquis Ai.

The current Hu Hous have daughters who are about the same age as you, so why not send them here instead of sending you to the palace?"

A strange expression appeared on Qi Jiang's pretty face, one part aggrieved, four parts angry, and a little helpless: "Your Majesty is a smart person, how could you not know? If it is really a good thing, my two princes will

How could the eldest brother not send his legitimate daughter? I am the only one who has no one to rely on."

Yes, King Zhou Yi has killed Qi Aihou, how can he accept, love and dote on his sister? She came into the palace just as a means and tool to appease Qi Huhou. What's more, there is a brother who killed his brother.

How could she be happy if the daughter of the culprit was here? Everyone knew this. How could Qi Jiang not know that he was so smart?

"Okay," Fan Ji said with a flick of his sleeve: "I understand what you mean. As a woman, I would like to advise you that women are born to be miserable. If you can't think better of everything, you will cause trouble for yourself.

It’s better to relax your mind and look ahead, that’s the right thing to do!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she walked onto the wooden bridge. Qi Jiangmu stood there blankly, seeming to chew on the few words she left ------

With sharp eyes, Fan Ji saw a hunchbacked figure in a black robe and leather crown from a distance walking down the steps of the main hall, walking quickly away, and said to himself: "Isn't that a fortune teller? Why did the king summon him?"

"Your Majesty, you don't know that you have been accompanying the king, but now rumors are spreading in the palace that there is something strange about the king's illness." Luoyang Si said in a low voice.

"Oh? This is strange. Could it be that she is shouting to catch the thief?" Fan Ji said sarcastically.

The two slowly climbed up the steps. Jia Zheng, the chamberlain, was guarding the door of the palace. Just as he was about to open his mouth to shout, Fan Ji stopped him: "Don't disturb the king!"

A woman's voice came from inside, so delicate and gentle that she was almost dripping with water. If it wasn't Ji Jiang, who could it be?

"Your Majesty, you still don't believe what I said. This time the fortune tellers have made predictions. You can't help but believe it. 'If a girl comes from the east, she will hide me from Zichen'. This means that a woman from the east will be detrimental to your Majesty."

Ah! The king has always been in good health, but he fell ill as soon as he returned to the palace. Isn't it because of the broom star? During these days, in addition to Mrs. Zhao, Qi Jiang was a later comer in the palace. Mrs. Zhao was the wife of a minister, and it was not

It's not her who came from the east. Isn't it very clear who she is talking about? When Qi State wanted to send a daughter away, I felt it was inappropriate, but the queen insisted. Now that the person has been sent, what can I do?

"

Naoyang Si was so angry that she pinched Fan Ji's sleeves tightly and her face became very tense. But Fan Ji's heart moved, and a bright light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. It turned out to be like this! This was Ji Jiang's purpose. It turned out that her

The target is Qi Jiang. She wants to strangle this possible harem enemy in the cradle. This is her ultimate goal!

"However, after all, Xin Qihou has just ascended the throne and needs Gu's support to establish his power. Gu can't let him lose face too much!" Ji Xie's tone was rather embarrassing.

Hearing this, Fanji knew that he could no longer remain silent, so he coughed heavily. The chamberlain Jia understood and shouted: "The Queen is here!"

Fan Ji slowly entered the palace, and Ji Jiang stood in front of the king's case and bowed obediently, but his face was raised high, which was quite provocative. King Zhou Yi sat in front of the king's case and greeted: "

The Queen is here! Just in time, I have something to discuss with you!"

Fan Ji walked to the second table and sat down, straightening his sleeves, without any intention of continuing. Ji Xie understood, turned to Ji Jiang and said, "Okay, I have something to discuss with the Queen. You can go back to the palace!"

Ji Jiang looked unwilling, but did not dare to refute, and knelt down bitterly and resigned.
