Chapter 50: Baosi's Song
Hong De was waiting for the emperor to let his father return to Bao City. At this moment, he understood that his adopted sister was in the emperor's arms and that he was still temporarily staying in the courtyard before Duke Guo's father's manor. He walked into the courtyard alone and looked at Yi Hua as he muttered to himself," This flower is really good, why is this dewdrop like the tears of a crying person?
The guard Buyu listened from a corner of the courtyard. He understood the Crown Prince's feelings at this moment and said in his heart," You're thinking too much. How can a drop of dew be a tear that a person cries? You are sentimental and sad, so that you will only worry about the loss of scales and manes. It was actually very simple. As long as he was happy, he would be happy.
Honder looked into the distance and said," Looking for the corner of the red building in the sky, that gentleness is an illusion. When I wake up, I can only dispel the sorrow of parting alone. In a hundred years, the world has three dreams, and thousands of miles of heaven and earth are a game of chess. What's there to ask about the floating clouds in the world? I'm just a chess piece, and I'm still at the mercy of others.
At this moment, Honder's state of mind was still at the banquet in the hall. The music that lingered in his ears for a long time, he really wanted to be immersed in a dream and never want to wake up. It was as if only dreams could comfort him. Only in dreams could there be freedom and vastness. Missing him was the most suitable way to express the sustenance in his heart. This was the dream he had last night, the separation during the day, and the reunion in his dream. He could not forget the beauty of their reunion and her appearance, the time that could not be erased, and her reluctant figure when she parted.
At this moment, the housekeeper of Duke Guo's father Shi's residence brought a maid to deliver breakfast to Hong De.
Zi Buyu took it and asked him to leave. He turned to his master and asked him to eat.
Honder didn't feel hungry and let him eat.
Zi Buyu saw that it would be a pity if this good breakfast was wasted, so he opened his bushy mouth and ate it in a few bites. He still felt that it was not satisfying. He still wanted to eat but was embarrassed to ask for it. After all, he was a servant and could not compare with his master.
Hong De was very disappointed at this time. Losing Baosi was like losing the whole world. Naturally, he felt sad. He looked at the little flower saying," The same flower blooms and smiles, only missing a face, who is heartbroken? But I was drawn into such a vast darkness. Giving a branch of spring is a flash of fire, but in whose eyes is it blooming? Half of it was filled with thoughts, but it was broken. Guarding the bright moon, outlining the lost path of the wind and snow, entering the country with dust and flowers, but countless sudden prosperity and desolation? A city of flowers and colors, but because of flowers and dance chaos feelings, but because of poetry volume sorrow into prophecy. How many times do I sing Diana's song? How many ghosts are there among the flowers? Spring is already ten years old on the branches, why long into a song? How many sorrows are brewing in spring?
Zi Buyu looked at his master speechlessly and said in annoyance," Prince, what are you worried about? The most important thing now was to save the emperor and leave Zhou Country. Women were like clothes, there was no more to find. There were plenty of beauties in the world, so why bother with someone who wasn't her? Moreover, it was unknown if Beauty Si had mentioned saving the emperor to the emperor or if she had forgotten about it. We have to think of a way to find a high official to remonstrate with the emperor and release the emperor.
Hong De went to see Guo Gong Shi Fu, but was stopped by the servant.
The butler of Duke Guo's father saw that it was Young Master Hong De and had also benefited from him. He smiled and led him to wait in a hall, promising that when his master was free, he would help him inform him.
Hongde listened and waited in the hall. A servant brought tea.
Zi Buyu was like a wooden stake beside his master, not moving at all.
Guo Gongshi's father was currently hugging his left and right happily. The beautiful woman was serving him. Suddenly, he saw the butler peeping and shouted, Butler.
Seeing that he couldn't hide, the butler quickly bowed and appeared. Your servant is here.
Guo Gong Shi Fu asked: Why are you hiding behind that screen?
The butler was smart, and he quickly hid his peeping and carefully reported that he was here for Young Master Hong De.
Guo Gong's father Shi was just about to have a good time, so he was a little unhappy when he heard it. However, when he thought about the beauties that the other party had offered, he realized that they were all pretty good. Although they could not compare to Beauty Bao Si, they were still first-class goods. The bed brother's martial arts were definitely not bad. He could be said to be well-trained. He had experienced it that night. Thinking of this, he dressed up and walked out. Before he arrived, he came to see Young Master Hongde with laughter.
When Hong De saw Duke Guo's father enter with a smile on his face, he stepped forward and bowed." Nephew is not talented. He has been in Zhou Country for some time and has been bothering Uncle for some time. I hope Uncle can forgive me. However, my nephew is outside, so my mother must be looking forward to it at home. Please advise His Majesty and put in a good word for him to save my father from prison so that we can return to our hometown.
Guo Gong's father was happy and said,"Don't worry, nephew." Even if my nephew doesn't come, I will come forward to intercede. Moreover, your father and I have been friends for generations and served the Zhou Dynasty together. It's just that I've been busy lately and neglected your father's affairs. Otherwise, why would your father be in prison now? Moreover, it was your father who offended His Majesty. This matter naturally cannot be taken lightly and should be considered carefully. Also, for the sake of offering beauty, I naturally offended Empress Shen. I think you know that Empress Shen's power cannot be underestimated. Her backer, Shen Junhou, is also an impressive person.
When Honder heard this, he quickly said,"Yes, yes." Nephew knows Uncle's difficulties. Uncle's great kindness will be remembered by my parents and nephew.
Guo Gong's father said,"In order to save your father, I have to offend Empress Shen." Sigh, so be it! Go back and rest for a while. I'll go to see His Majesty tomorrow and mention this matter.
When Honder heard this, he knew that it wasn't appropriate for him to stay. After all, he was asking for help and couldn't force it. He could only allow the other party to speak freely, saying good or bad things. He then thanked him and left.
Guo Gong Shi Fu's interest was not over, and he gathered together with the beauty group to laugh.
Honder was distressed as he looked at the moon in the sky." He didn't know when he had felt a wave of sadness. Was it just a smile from back then that made him infatuated? Even now, her eyes were filled with confusion. Don't hate Li Shang, the thread of love is endless, facing the ancient corridor in vain, still drunk in the morning wind and waning moon. She was alone and her heart was melancholy. Her heart was locked in a moment of beauty. What made her confused was that charming smile like a flower. How many dreams do I have when my pocket money is gone? Annoyed by the spring breeze is only this little idle sorrow, how can it be seen that this feeling is infinite? Perhaps it was the drifting of a flying flower, a glimpse of the beauty of a floating life, but the sorrow seemed to last forever. Even if it's not a dream language, still come into my heart to complain about heartbreak sentence? I don't know if there is today, take the soul to stay together, a waning moon only with the people who are separated, according to the broken heart?
Empress Shen learned about Bao Si's background from Chun Lan and said angrily," So it was a demon who was causing trouble in the Zhou Dynasty.
At this moment, Qiuxiang walked into the bedroom and bowed. Reporting to the Queen, this servant has learned from Zi that His Majesty has not attended court for three days.
Empress Shen was annoyed when she heard this. Is there no one to persuade Your Majesty? Where were those loyal officials and generals?
Qiuxiang said,"Zi Zi said that the minister of Guo Gong went to see Your Majesty today."
When Empress Shen heard this, she said,"It seems that this Baosi was also introduced to Your Majesty by Duke Guo?"
"That's right," said Qiuxiang. It was said that he, Ji Gong, and Yin Qiu had all benefited from Bao City. Baocheng offered beauty only to save the guilty minister of Baocheng, Bao Xu.
After Empress Shen heard this, she said fiercely, Guo Shifu. Ji Gong and Yin Qiu, you are now the most favored by His Majesty. One day, no matter how much bengong makes you eat, bengong will make you spit it out.
According to historical records, Baosi grew up in Bao Kingdom (now northwest of Hanzhong in Shaanxi Province). In 779 B.C.(the third year of King You of Zhou), King You of Zhou conquered Bao Kingdom. The people of Bao offered Baosi a beautiful woman to surrender. King You loved her like a pearl in his palm and made her a concubine. He was favored in the palace of Zhou. From then on, the six palaces were colorless.
It was said that Ji Gongyu and Baosi were: sitting with their legs folded, standing side by side, drinking with their cups crossed, eating with the same utensils, not attending court in the morning, facing the beautiful women who were "shining brightly when they looked forward to it" all day long. It was obvious that the stunning Baosi would never be forgotten.
Baosi's beauty was that she had a well-developed figure, like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman, with beautiful eyes, red lips, white teeth, dark clouds in her hair, jade-like fingers, and a face like a flower and a moon, which could topple a country and topple a city.
Ji Gong looked at Bao Si: Her tender face was pure and charming without makeup, more like only one flower in a myriad of purple and red was still her bright color, idle flowers faint spring momentum, but gradually more delicate and moving. Her waist was as soft as a willow, and her footsteps were light and light. Even the patterns on her clothes moved with her. The elegant clouds slowly emerged from the peak of the Ecui Mountain. It was clearly a fairy with wings floating in the air. She was indescribably beautiful.
As the saying goes,"The mouth that eats people is soft, and the hand that takes people is short." Guo Gong's father had received benefits from Hong De, so he naturally wanted to help out a little, so he went to see the King of Zhou.
At this moment, the sound of laughter came from Ji Gong You's bedroom. The crisp sound was so melodious that it made the palace that had not been in a long time come alive.
Guo Gong's father was walking toward Ji Gongyou's bedroom. As he walked through the winding bridge and the corridor, he heard the sound of laughter and looked into the distance.
He saw an innocent girl running barefoot on the ground, and Ji Gong Shu happily chased after her.
It turned out that Ji Gong Niao liked Baosi and she became a real woman."A woman's life is like a vegetable seed's life. Wherever it is scattered, it will take root and sprout.”Since the matter between him and Young Master Hongde was already in the past, then let him be in the past. There was no need to entangle himself in the past and cause him extreme pain. Moreover, this man wasn't ugly. He was handsome and liked her too. He also had power over everything. Therefore, he began to think about accepting him. Naturally, he let go of her. Also, she had to find a way to tie this man's heart. Only by winning his favor could she save Bao Xu, the emperor of Bao City.
The maids dressed Bao Si in an orderly manner.
Bao Si looked at the beautiful clothes and thought," Dressed in gorgeous clothes, she was finally unable to control herself. Why? There were too many whys and no answers. There were too many answers, and there was no reason.
Ji Gong was proud of Baosi. Not only was she as beautiful as a fairy, but her smile was also warm. She also saw a kind of vitality and charm from her body that infected her. The 3,000 beauties in his palace were all young ladies of noble families with traditional ideas. They didn't give people a fresh feeling. On the contrary, he felt that Du Baosi had a kind of spirit, courage and innocence.
This person really couldn't talk about it. He could only say," Each has his own preference.
Guo Gongshi's father was stunned by the woman's beauty. He looked at her foolishly, ignoring her path and charging straight in front of her. He was so frightened that he couldn't dodge in time and was about to bow when he saw him.
When Baosi saw that it was the High Official Guo Gong Shi Fu, she was startled. Suddenly saw his embarrassment, he smiled and ran away.
Ji Gongyou, who had come to pursue a beauty but was disheveled, said unhappily when he saw Duke Guo, Aiyo, why are you here? Hurry up and leave! Don't bother me.
Duke Guo, who was already in a panic, was at a loss when he saw Ji Gongyou. After hearing the king's words, he did not dare to say anything and prepared to leave.
Ji Gong only wanted to chase after the beauty, regardless of their usual dignity and lost their demeanor.
Baosi had wanted to run away, but when she saw Duke Guo, she remembered that she was here on a mission, so she turned around.
Ji Gongyou hugged the beauty and said with a smile," I've finally caught you. You can't escape now, right?
Bao Si stopped fooling around and broke free from the hug, asking," Your Majesty, Duke Guo has come. I think he has something to do. Why don't you ask?
Ji Gong Xin said,"I don't know!" Even if there was anything, it was better to talk about it later. Ouch! Don't worry about him
Baosi said,"Lord Guo Gong must have come for something. Why don't you ask?" It was better to ask.
Hearing this, Jigong Ao was a little reluctant, but he still called out," Lord Guo, why have you come?
Guo Gongshi's father hurried over when he heard the call. He still bowed and said with some rationality, I have something to report.
When Ji Gong heard this, she said in her heart,"My lord, you still don't know how to count. You're ruining my good things." Can't you wait until tomorrow? Must it be today? What was the big deal? Was it urgent?
Bao Si said,"Your Majesty, since the minister has something to report, you should listen to him and see what he has to say."
Upon hearing the beauty's words, Ji Gongxue hugged her and asked Duke Guo," What exactly did my beloved minister want to say this time?
After thanking Baosi, Duke Guo reported," Your Majesty, it's about Bao Xu, the guilty minister of Bao City.
Hearing this, Bao Si pretended not to know and asked," Your Majesty, the criminal of Bao City, Bao Xu, is also my foster father.
When Ji Gong Huan heard this, he asked,"What do you mean?"
Bao Si then told her how Madam Jun of Bao City had bestowed her surname and adopted a daughter.
Ji Gongyan listened.
Bao Si said coquettishly to Ji Gong You," Your Majesty, please release ChenQie's foster father! Let him go!
Ji Gongxue looked at the beauty and didn't move. She was so frightened by her delicate voice that she couldn't control herself.
Bao Si then said," According to my understanding, although my foster father's words were inappropriate and offended His Majesty, he had good intentions. He only expressed the wrong direction. He did not deserve to die." His Majesty had also locked him up, and this prison had given him some memory. It had already been so long, and if they continued to dwell on it, they would lose the hearts of the people. In the long run, no one would dare to advise His Majesty in the future.
Ji Gong Huan said happily," Alright, I'll listen to you once.
"Then ChenQie thanks Your Majesty." Bao Si smiled as she bowed.
When Guo Gong Shi Fu saw Baosi's interpreter, he also bowed and thanked her," Thank you for your kind words.
Bao Si said,"No need to be so polite."
Ji Gongyou immediately issued an edict to Duke Guo, saying," Pass on my will and order Bao Xu to resume his original position and reward him heavily. His son, Hong De, also contributed greatly. He gave him brocade and silver to stay in the Zhou Country for a few more days to see the prosperity of our Great Zhou Country and the peace of the people. His trip was not in vain.
After hearing this, Guo Gong thanked His Majesty on behalf of Bao Xu and thanked Baosi again.
Bao Si knew that she was alone in Zhou Country and didn't know anyone else, so she had no one to rely on. Only Duke Guo was an acquaintance. If anything happened in the future, he would definitely rely on him more. Therefore, he said to him very politely, Your excellency, please forgive me! There was no need to be so polite. If it wasn't for you, how could BenGong see His Majesty's face? In terms of thanks, it should be BenGong. If there is anything in the future, BenGong will still rely on you, hope you don't decline.
"How dare, how dare, the Empress is too polite.”When Duke Guo heard this, he was extremely happy. Naturally, he vowed, In the future, if I can do it, I will die for it.
Bao Si was trying to build a good relationship with him, which was just right.
It is said that Hongde and his father Bao Xu took a boat back to Bao City and drank together. Bao Xu saw that his son was so drunk that he still wanted to drink with him, so he asked the waiter to help him down to rest.
Hong De suddenly saw Bao Si coming to visit him, so he quickly got up and told her what was on his mind. He told her that he didn't want to do this and how much he liked her. Bao Si was unhappy and resentful, unwilling to listen to his explanation. She only told him that she had come to see him off because she had given him some face, and then turned to leave. Seeing him leave, Honder hurriedly chased after him. Under the moonlight and starlight, Bao Si's heart softened. Honder hugged her tightly, a sense of happiness surging in his heart. At this moment, Bao Xu walked over and scolded," Hong De, what are you doing? You don't want to live anymore, she's the king's woman. If you do this, you will bring disaster to Bao City! You will be the sinner of the Kingdom of Bao." Empress Jiang also cried." My son, you can't do this. If you do this, you will harm all the people in the city. You will also harm Jun father and mother.”Hong De roared," I don't care. I just want my Sister Wu Chen. I can't be bothered by that much." Why should I sacrifice my love? My love is not wrong. You only know that you want me to sacrifice my love in exchange for the peace of Bao City. But what does all the citizens of Bao City have to do with me? What does our love have to do with the people of Bao City? Just because of that bullsh * t Zhou Wang, you are useless but you want to separate us and tear apart the people you love. Don't you feel a little guilty and cruel? But you don't know how painful it is to break up a pair of lovers, but you don't even give me a little bit of selfishness. Love is selfish. I only want my Sister Wu Chen.”When Bao Xu heard this, he said," Yes, love is selfish, but love can be divided into big love and small love. Sacrificing one's love in exchange for the peace of all the people in Bao City, this kind of selfless love was great love. As the crown prince of Bao City, you don't even have the thought of loving the people. Instead, you stay in your small world. How can you rule the world in the future? How can you protect your people? How will the people believe you?" "I don't care. I want my sister Wu Chen. " Sister Wu Chen, we…" Hong De said but did not see Bao Si. He shouted," Sister Wu Chen, where are you?" Where are you?"
Honder was anxious and woke up from his dream. He found himself on a boat and looked at the sky full of stars and the moon reflected in the water. He could not help but feel a little poetic to relieve his boredom. He could not help but mutter to himself, Heaven sent me stars and moon, and the green mountains gave me ten thousand clouds. The pine tree wants to hold my hand, but the white cloud holds my waist. It seems that clouds rise to become immortals, but who knows that my heart is swept away by clouds?/ I am happy to live in Linquan Mountain. When I am free, I come to the river boat to pick wild flowers. It was like a few acres of land in front of the ship, half planted with stars and flowers. Occasionally I hear people talking about the waves, listening to birds say what flowers laugh at who?/ The sunrise rises and sets, and the moon comes to invite me to drink my fill. Yesterday I found a cool place to drink and make merry, surpassing the immortals. Return to the mountain forest and enjoy yourself, no matter how leisurely you have been./ The wind and moon are good companions, and the lonely stars lie on the river. Although it was no longer a common dream, it still made people feel a little excited. A river of spring water, a home, clean and bright, earning laughter.
Not mentioning that Bao Xu had returned to Bao City after being reinstated, and not mentioning that Duke Guo had praised Bao Si for his family's good words in front of Hong De, just mentioning that there were other beauties in the Ji Palace who could not see the king, naturally jealousy came and hostility came.
Empress Shen could also see the feminine side of the other beauties and united everyone to fight against Bao Si. She knew that relying on her own strength was not enough.
That beauty Mi of Chu. the beauty of the State of Song has a foot's worth of silk. The beauties of Qi State, Jiang Lushi, and Qin State, Ying Li, were both madams. Seeing that Empress Shen rarely summoned them, they each had their own ulterior motives. It was also because Empress Shen usually did not like them.
Baosi was favored by Ji Gongyou and became the real woman of the king. She was overjoyed and naturally forgot about her lingering feelings with Hong De. So what if she didn't forget? Her laughter deeply enchanted Zhou Wang.
On this day, Bao Si was walking around in her bedroom barefooted, looking carefree.
After all, Empress Shen was the queen. Seeing that Bao Si ignored her existence, she took advantage of the King's absence and led a group of concubines to the Wuchen Palace.
Why was it still called Wuchen Palace? The Prince of Zhou favored Baosi and gave her a name for her new bedroom. She loved the name " Wuchen ", so she wanted to establish the name " Wuchen Palace ", which was allowed.
Bao Si might be young and not fully familiar with the palace affairs, but she did not expect that she would have to pay her respects to Empress Shen when she came to Zhou. It was because the King loved her so much that she did not have the opportunity to escape. Just now, she wanted to relax and indulge, but her superior suddenly came, making her not know what to do and not know the other party.
The maids that Ji Gong rewarded to serve Bao Si were old men in the back palace. Although they were not old and had been in the harem for several years, they knew Empress Shen and quickly whispered to their master who the visitor was.
When Bao Si heard this, she quickly bowed to Empress Shen with Lian Qiao and the other maids.
Empress Shen came to see Beauty Bao Si, but she was very unhappy to see that her bedchamber had been named "Wuchen Palace" in such a short time since she came to Zhou Country. Seeing her bare feet in her bedchamber without any regard for etiquette and shame made her angry. She simply did not want to reason with such a person.
When had Bao Si ever seen such a sudden scene? The beauties were fierce, their eyes wide open and their hearts beating fast.
These flowers live in the wind and snow. The days were filled with music and dance. The concubines and concubines who only knew how to be jealous of each other, loved jewelry, burned incense, and played the zither were all flustered when they saw Bao Si being so favored. They all wanted to see how beautiful this beauty from Bao City was and what charm she had to seduce the king so much, so they all followed her. Empress Shen appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually feeling very uneasy and didn't know what to do.
Empress Shen's maid seductively saw through her master's thoughts, so when she entered and saw Bao Si's unruly appearance, she went up and gave her a loud slap, even lecturing her," Do you think the palace is your home? I don't care if you want to run around barefoot, but you still dare to talk. Was it a place where he could speak his mind? This slap told you that this palace was not a place where etiquette and music were broken. When you come here, you should abide by the rules and discipline. You should also know propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame.
When Bao Si was beaten, no one dared to make a sound and obediently listened to the lecture.
Lian Qiao saw that her master had been beaten up and was still suffering from this kind of vexation, so she frowned and looked over.
She was not coquettish at all. When she saw the unconvinced look on Lian Qiao's face, she became even angrier." Why? Are you still not convinced?"”As he spoke, he rushed forward and was about to fight again.
Empress Shen had a guilty conscience after all. She knew that Bao Si was favored and did not dare to make trouble or stay any longer. She also wanted to withdraw her troops before the king retired. Seeing that her maid still wanted to show off, she quickly stopped her, It was fine if this little girl was insensible. She was from the countryside and had no education. How could she know the palace rules? Today BenGong has no ill intentions, just to remind you, don't not know how to abide by the rules, one day you don't even know how to lose your life. Go back to the palace.
Bao Si still politely said,"Farewell, Queen."
Empress Shen led a group of people away, and many palace maids followed. The madams followed, and the guard of honor was very imposing.
Empress Shen saw the other concubines bid farewell and left, leaving only a few of her maids, so she said," Charming!
The charming woman walked out and said,"I'm here."
Empress Shen said,"Go to the court today and wait for His Majesty to retire."
She said coquettishly.
Empress Shen said,"When you see His Majesty, tell him that I have prepared good wine and dishes for His Majesty to return." You know, you've caused quite a bit of trouble today. She was in His Majesty's good graces, but you hit her. If His Majesty finds out, your life will be in danger.
Jiao Mei cried when she heard that and quickly said, Please come back and save me, Queen.
Empress Shen said,"Isn't this move by Bengong trying to round up this situation and dispel Your Majesty's doubts?" It's just that in front of that slut, BenGong can't control her mouth. You can leave now! Let BenGong think about it.
"Here! This servant will take her leave." As she spoke, she stopped crying and stood up.
Empress Shen said,"Go ahead!"
The flirtatious woman retreated.
"Today, BenGong wants to advise Your Majesty not to think about beauty and put the country's affairs first.”Empress Shen looked at Jiao Mei's receding figure and said. She was actually afraid that Bao Si would report her and take revenge, so she cursed Jiao Mei in her heart," This ignorant thing keeps causing trouble for me. If it's not done well, it might even bring trouble to me. How can I protect myself? I have no choice but to give up her to protect me.
Lian Qiao saw Empress Shen and the others leave and quickly greeted her master with concern, Does sister hurt?
"It doesn't hurt. It's not a problem." Bao Si said as she caressed her hot face," Even a maid was so capable, it showed Empress Shen's power!
Lian Qiao saw that her master's face was red and swollen and said anxiously," Aiyo, my sister's face is swollen. Who was she? Why was she so vicious?
Hua Mei, a maid beside her, said,"She is the person beside Empress Shen. Her name is Jiao Mei."
Lian Qiao said unhappily,"Her master has never said a word. Why is she, a maid, so arrogant and domineering?" It was clearly a dog abusing its power.
Hua Mei said, Yes. People in the palace could be turned upside down like the palm of one's hand. Who knew who would be able to do it in the future?
Bao Si didn't say anything. She seemed to have understood something. Living with a man with many women wasn't something she could do as she pleased. Flowers would bloom and wither eventually. Thinking back to her orphan background, she was a woman with a deep hatred. He was an abandoned child without parents, a domestic slave of the Bao Kingdom, and a sex slave of the Zhou Dynasty. These three lowly statuses constituted all of his suffering. Thinking of this, she could no longer smile.
Lian Qiao saw that her master couldn't smile for the entire day, didn't speak, and didn't even eat or drink. She knew what was going on in her heart.
Bao Si suddenly asked," His Majesty is coming back. None of you are allowed to tell anyone about what happened today. Do you understand?"
All the maids replied, Here.
Bao Si asked again, Sister Lian Qiao, is my face swollen? Did the hot compress go down?
Lian Qiao came over and said,"There are still some red marks. It's much better."
Bao Si said,"Take, you and Hua Mei bring the powder."
He and Hua Mei brought a powder box.
Bao Si said to the two maids,"Just apply the powder evenly and don't let His Majesty see it."
As soon as Ji Gongxue left the meeting hall, she hurried to Wuchen Palace.
At this moment, when she saw the king, she quickly went up and bowed. Your Majesty, the Queen is waiting for you in the bedchamber. She says she has something to discuss with you.
Ji Gong said,"I know. I'll be there soon."
The charming woman was delighted when she heard this and went to report to Empress Shen.
Ji Gong Huan was anxious that Hou Hou would see Baosi, so he rolled into the gold-consuming tent without saying anything.
Bao Si seemed to have lost her passion for love. She seemed to have a normal life of " watching the flowers bloom and wither ". The time when the flowers bloomed in her heart seemed to have been slapped into silence.
Ji Gongxue thought that she wasn't wild enough and was more like a violent storm, but she was full of passion.
Baosi's emotions were indifferent and there was no passion burning. She thought about how she had been helping her parents pick mushrooms at home. She was a little girl who washed clothes. However, she didn't know what to do now that she didn't have to do these things. Sometimes, she would think of Brother Hongde, and sometimes, she would think of Brother Si Zengjian. She didn't know why, but she just didn't like the palace.
Ji Gong Huan saw that the beauty was not smiling and asked," What's wrong with you?
Hearing this, Bao Si pretended nothing had happened and said," Nothing!
Ji Gongyou looked at the red marks on the beauty's face and asked," What happened to Qing's face?
Bao Si touched her face and said, Oh! I have a toothache.
When Ji Gong Huan heard this, he called out,"Men, summon the imperial doctor."
Hearing this, Bao Si hurriedly said,"Your Majesty, don't call the imperial doctor." ChenQie had a toothache, but it's much better now.
Ji Gong Xin said,"It's good that you're fine." Today, I am in the court, but my heart is not in the court.
Hearing this, Bao Si said,"State affairs are more important than love."
Ji Gong said,"Do you know that I have no heart, but my heart is with you?" I've crushed my love for you and hidden it in all the nonsense. Love is the beginning, love is the end. I only love you for the rest of my life. I have no one else in my heart.
Hearing this, Bao Si sighed," Many people have said the word 'like' to ChenQie, but ChenQie was unmoved. Only that one person, I don't know if it was
Seeing that the other party wanted to say something but hesitated, Ji Gong Huan said, I truly like you. I'm a love-struck man from heaven. I grew up for you and stayed in a place for you. Ever since I met you, my heart can't hold anyone in the world. Even the romantic love is just like this, but only you.
Hearing this, Bao Si said," Your Majesty, please don't do this. This will ruin the Great Zhou Empire. It's my fault."
Ji Gongyou said,"For this picturesque country, I did not hesitate to change all my fates, even if my blood stained the streets and alleys of this city." Since meeting Qing, I don't think about anything else. There's only Qing in my heart. You are my most beloved for half my life, so what if I give up my life for you?
Baosi asked,"What does Your Majesty like about me?" Could it be because ChenQie looks good? However, even good flowers had a time to bloom and wither.
Ji Gong said,"I love you not only because of your appearance, but also because of my appearance when I am with you." You see, my eyes are full of Qing, and Qing's eyes are also full of me.
Hearing this, Bao Si said,"Your Majesty, how about I play a song for you?"
Ji Gong said happily: What musical instrument can you play?
Bao Si said,"I'm good at playing the zither. It depends on what kind of music Your Majesty likes."
Ji Gong said,"Then play a song. Play the song you're good at."
