Thinking of himself, Zi Yusi was also frightened. He suddenly thought of a person and asked directly: "How is Prince Xi doing now? I heard that Zhao Gonghu asked the Marquis of Qi for this person. Could it be ------"

Gao Xumi stroked his beard and said: "Song Gong, there is no need to worry. I am still aware of the serious relationship between this and will not leave myself a way out. Zhao Gong did have this invitation, but I have rejected it, and so has he."

He was an obedient person and did not dwell on this issue. Today, Wang Zixi is still at his old place in Yingqiu, and the prince has even added a fiefdom in his name. After all, it is better to keep this card in hand.

"

After serving tea to see off the guests, a hint of disdain and sullenness appeared on Zi Yusi's handsome face: "Humph! A man with a head and a rat at both ends!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Eighth Division of Zhou Dynasty suffered a disastrous defeat in the first battle against Qi. It can be seen that the Zhou Dynasty is no longer what it used to be. Given time, why worry about not being able to achieve great things?" Rongyi advised in a low voice.

Zi Yusi glanced at him sideways: "Why do you always avoid that Zhao Gonghu? Are you afraid of him?"

Rongyi's face froze and he responded: "It's actually because we had a chance encounter in Tonglu Mountain. This person is very thoughtful and has a photographic memory, so I have to be careful."

The autumn wind is bleak, and the red maple leaves outside Shangqiu City have also begun to fall. The pieces dance in the wind like gorgeous autumn flowers, which is really beautiful. Zi Fufu, with fluttering clothes, came to Zhao Bohu and Wei

Many friends saw me off.

"After seeing you for thousands of miles, you will eventually have to say goodbye. This place is far away from the city gate. Brother Zihe, please say goodbye here!" Zhao Bohu advised.

Zifu's father moved his lips, as if he had something to say that was difficult to say. Zhao Bohu knew it well: "Brother Zihe has done the most great work on this mission. When I return to Haojing, I will report to my king."

, send my wife back to Song Dynasty, so that you, husband and wife, and your son can be reunited."

Zifu's father had tears in his eyes and bowed deeply: "I can't say thank you for the great kindness. If the king will not allow it, please also ask Zimuxiu to go his own way. You only need to take care of Jiang's mother and son for me, so that they won't be without food and clothing. Brother Fool."

I feel so grateful in my heart.”

"Where are you talking? To be honest, Qi is not a concern for this envoy, but Song - if it weren't for brother Zihe, it would never be possible. I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life, and I will never forget it.

"

Wei Duoyou listened impatiently: "Thank you, thank you, are you finished? I just hope that Mrs. Jiang's child will not be like you, just another square piece of wood!"

Zhao Bohu frowned and was about to reprimand him, but Zifufu didn't take it seriously and pulled him back with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I am indeed a square piece of wood. This metaphor is very interesting! I'm used to it, and no one will do it in the future.

I’m not used to being called these three words, hahaha!”

Zhao Bohu must have watched Zi Fu's father turn around and drive back to the city before he left. Seeing the worry on his handsome face, Wei Duoyou asked strangely: "What's wrong with you, Zi Mu? Are you worried?"

"Young Master Song of the Song Dynasty is really very scheming when he worships this person. Brother Zihe is so arrogant, how do you deal with yourself?"

"I don't think so. Song Gong would not understand the so-called weapon that avoids rats." Wei Duoyou asserted very boldly.

"I hope so."

"Then should we go back to Haojing directly? I almost want the prince and young master to reconcile." Wei Duoyou asked happily.

"No, we have to go to Luoyi first and then go west." After saying that, Zhao Bohu raised his whip and spurred his horse to go west.

"What are you doing in Luoyi? Just wait for me--" Kui Duoyou also raised his whip and spurred his horse on, chasing after the cloud of dust raised by the horse's hooves.

Why was Zifu's father granted the title of Confucius? From then on, he took Confucius as his surname and became a minister of the Song Dynasty. In the generation of Kong Fujia, he was framed by the governor Hua Du and his whole family was executed. Only one young son fled to Lu.

Zi still took Confucius as his surname, and it was passed down to Confucius after several generations. Therefore, why Zi Fufu was the ancestor of the sage Kong is a story for another day.

After being busy for a month, Fanji's small courtyard finally became deserted. The number of beautiful concubines who came to the door to kowtow in the morning became increasingly rare. Sometimes, no one even came for two or three days in a row. People who didn't know it thought Zhou

The king abolished this rule. In fact, it was just that the Yi king seemed to have gradually lost interest in these women. What was even more strange was that a month had passed, and no news of pregnancy had been reported by any of the concubines or beauties.

The drums sounded at dusk, and thirty beauties filed into the front hall of the middle palace. All sixteen vermilion doors were open. There were two rows of long tables in the hall, and fourteen portions of porridge and bean paste were placed on each long table.

The sesame dumplings were waiting for breakfast. The servant Jia stood at the head of the hall with a smile on his face and said loudly: "Today is the middle of the month, and the king has given all of you beauties a breakfast. You must taste it with your heart, so as to live up to the king's kindness.

"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the meal!" Everyone bowed down.

For a moment, the hall was filled with fresh fragrance, and all the beauties were beaming with joy. Because of the presence of Jia, the chambermaid, no one dared to talk or laugh loudly, and only the sound of bowls and chopsticks was heard. After a while, the dishes on the table were empty, and Jia, the chamberlain, was there.

He showed a satisfied smile and clapped his hands: "Come on, bring it up!"

A team of waiters came forward, each carrying a wooden tray, with a bowl of steaming soup on it. The waiter Jia smiled and said: "As a rule, this is a newly prepared high-quality abortion pill, everyone.

Drink them all, so that they can spread their branches and leaves for your Majesty as soon as possible!"

This is not the first time. All the beauties raised their medicine bowls and drank up their necks. Only one woman looked suspicious and sniffed the medicine bowl again and again, seeming to be very hesitant. The chambermaid Jia walked up to her and said displeasedly.

Asked: "Fox Ji, why don't you drink?"

A look of doubt and fear flashed in Fox Lady's eyes, and she hesitated: "My lord, my spleen and stomach have been unwell recently, and I cannot smell the bitter medicine, so it is difficult to swallow it."

"This is a gift from the king, how can you not drink it? Wouldn't it be contempt for the emperor?" Although the voice of the chamberlain Jia was low, his tone was very stern.

Fox Princess couldn't help it, she raised her neck and took a big sip, then she seemed to be sick, frowned and begged for mercy from Chamberlain Jia. Chamberlain Jia waved her hand impatiently, Fox Princess lowered her head and rushed out------

"What are you talking about? Your Majesty, in the name of a pregnancy-inducing medicine, actually gave you a child-preventing soup?" Ji Jiangxing's eyes widened, and she sat upright, staring at Yi Ji who was sitting next to her. This matter

It was so incredible, she couldn't believe it.

"It's absolutely true." Yi Ji said with great certainty: "Hu Ji has been with me for many years, and she prepared the Bizi soup for me. How can I not recognize the smell? But what does the king mean by this? It is really disturbing.

People are elusive.”

Ji Jiang thought for a while and said proudly: "There is nothing to ponder. Your Majesty gave them medicine, but never gave it to us. He probably disliked the fact that these women were of low origin and did not want them to give birth to princes and concubines."

That’s fine, it saves us the trouble.”

"This is a good thing, but it's -------" Yi Ji leaned closer again: "According to the empress's original plan, she was going to do some tricks in the dining room and give these women red flowers.

At that time, we tried to trick the queen. But now that Fan has been living in seclusion, and the king has done this again, the original plan cannot be carried out."

"Don't worry," Ji Jiang blew the tea foam in the bowl and said calmly: "She lives in seclusion, but the palace order around her is not good enough. Now they can't trust the food in the Shangshan Room and insist on starting their own business, then

If the task of fetching water and tea has not come up, how can Niyang Si not come out? Humph! She has the status of a queen to protect her, but she may not have the old dog next to her as well, just wait and see!"

Yi Ji had a look of realization on his face: "Oh, your Majesty is so wise!"

The rising sun in winter is warm, like soft cotton wool covering the skin, and the bare branches above the head sway gently with the breeze. The sky is bright, the sun is flat, the mountains and rocks are quiet, and all the scenery is so calm and calm.

There is a shallow blue water between the front hall of the middle palace and the outer palace gate. A short bridge five or six steps long is paved with bluestone slabs more than two feet wide. The sound of water floats. At the end of the short bridge is a pavilion.

Ji is sitting in the pavilion and playing the xun. Looking across the water, the scenery is as light as smoke, and the scenery and sound are excellent.

The sound of the xun suddenly became low, and E-Shan's eyes were full of ever-lasting affection, and she glanced at King Zhou Yi who was standing by the pavilion railing from time to time. However, despite her glare, Ji Xie never had the intention to look back, and the look in E-Shang's eyes gradually dimmed.

"Your Majesty," after the song ended, E-sun stepped forward and called out, "But I don't play well?"

Only then did Ji Xie come back to his senses, his eyes flashing: "Ah, no, you played very well. I was just looking at the fish in the pond and lost my concentration for a moment."

E Shi went over and took a look. There was a thin layer of ice on the water. There were only a few fish under the transparent ice. It took a long time to move. There seemed to be nothing to see. But Ji Xie could see.

She was lost in thought and murmured: "You don't know, in the past, when we were in the dormitory, the queen often took Gu Gu to fish together. Every time she caught a fish, she would be very happy, roll up her sleeves and want to cook fish soup for Gu to drink.

"

"I heard that the empress lived alone in the middle palace a few days ago and has depleted seventy-eight percent of the fish in this pond. If the king doesn't like it, wait until spring gets warmer and put a few dozen more fish in this pond.

?" E-sun suppressed the sourness in her heart and persuaded softly.

Ji Xie glanced at her and said casually: "Tomorrow, prepare the congratulatory gifts for me. Mrs. Zhao has given birth to a son, and Gu Yi can't think of what to give her. Think carefully about it for Gu Gu."

"Isn't it this time that the concubine has the final say in this matter?" E Shan asked in a low voice.

When mentioning the second concubine, Ji Xie frowned and said with displeasure: "There are many things she does that are inappropriate, I don't feel at ease. If--" He shook his head: "I'll leave this matter to you.

My lord, Duke Zhao said this time that he broke the Song-Qi alliance and solved a big hidden danger for me in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so I must give him a good reward. You have always been cautious and impartial, and this has your own benefits."

"Promise! I will do my best," E-sun said happily.

"Queen, is she okay?" Ji Xie suddenly asked in a low voice.

E Sui was startled, then realized what she was doing, and replied: "Your Majesty, I haven't been out much these days, and I haven't seen your Majesty in person for nearly a month. However, the imperial eunuch beside her once quietly said to me, "Can I help you?"

Try to get some egg-laying hens so that I can replenish my health."
