Before Baozhu could take a breath, the queen came to visit again. Baozhu had no choice but to put on a coat and hurried to pick him up.
The queen hurriedly held up Baozhu, held her hand affectionately and said no gifts, no gifts. Bao Zhu could only force out a smile and act with the queen.
After sitting down, the queen waved her hand, and all the flowing fabrics and supplements were brought into the Moon Pavilion.
"You, you have been ill these past few days, and I am very worried." The queen said in a nonchalant manner, and then summoned a little palace maid, carrying some fine wild ginseng.
"This is to replenish your body. You are still young, so you can't let the root cause of the disease fall on you."
Bao Zhu looked at the queen, whose expression showed no flaws at all, and gave an unmistakable smile.
After chatting here and there for a while, the queen still had no intention of leaving. Bao Zhu felt a little tired and coughed twice.
The queen calmly took a sip of tea without even touching the water with her lips, and then started talking again.
"Yesterday, Your Majesty came to Yaohua Pavilion and said that by the Jinghu Lake, the flowers are in full bloom now and the scenery is very beautiful." The queen lowered her eyes and shook the fan in her hand.
"I'm invited to go on an outing tomorrow to enjoy the flowers. It's a pity that I'm not suitable for walking around too much today. It would be bad if it disturbs His Majesty's interest."
Baozhu's heart skipped a beat, as Baozhu heard these words.
"Yes, your Majesty, you should also pay more attention to rest." Bao Zhu said, shaking the Queen's hand.
The queen's eyes moved to look at Baozhu, her eyes full of light.
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore and will go back first." As if she had received an answer, the queen left with satisfaction.
Watching the Queen's mighty group of people walk away, Baozhu sighed helplessly. What is coming can never be avoided.
The next day, Baozhu got up early and asked Yue Nu to go to the pharmacy to fetch flower petals and spread them all over the water in the tub.
Baozhu stepped into the bath and couldn't help but shiver all over.
Yue Nu wiped Baozhu's arm in confusion, "My concubine, why do you have to take a bath so early and use so many petals? The fragrance is so strong that it can be felt throughout the Moon Pavilion."
In the mist, Baozhu's eyes were misty, like a bottomless lake.
Baozhu took a deep breath and lay back on the edge of the barrel. "Yue Slave, yesterday the Queen said that His Majesty would go to Mirror Lake today."
Yue Nu hummed without raising her head, as if she still didn't know what Baozhu's intention was.
"Yue Slave..." Baozhu murmured, as if asking Yue Slave, but also as if he was asking himself. "Do you want to leave the palace?"
Yue Nu raised her head as if she had just woken up from a big dream, looked at the orb with some disbelief, and said with a trembling tone: "I... slave naturally wanted to, but it is His Majesty's will that I have no choice but to do so."
Baozhu breathed a long sigh of relief and stared blankly at the mural on the top. "Yue Slave, these days are almost over."
By Mirror Lake.
The emperor of the Li Kingdom was promoted to the throne when the country was ruined and the family was in ruins. At that time, Qi Junce was just an idle prince.
Once the country was about to be destroyed, he had no choice but to take on the responsibility of the country as the eldest brother. He was worthy of being an emperor who was tempered in the flames of war. His methods were fierce and vicious. Over the years, the Li Kingdom had occupied a dominant position among other countries like a sudden rise.
The Mi Gen Kingdom went from being the dominant overlord to becoming a tributary of the Li Kingdom, and had no choice but to bow before absolute military power.
At this moment, Qi Junce is already over 40 years old, but his figure is still tall and tall. Standing by the mirror lake, he looks like a green pine.
Time has also left traces on the face of such an emperor, but when Qi Jun was weak, even if he was just walking in the capital and riding a horse, there would still be a steady stream of purses and sachets coming from all directions.
However, during the battle in Cangwu City, the sword attacked by the Lord of Cangwu City split his left eyebrow in half, leaving a scar that looked like a crescent moon.
On the contrary, this emperor has left an image of being calm and unruffled. His perennial sternness always makes people feel a little gloomy.
Qi Junce stood by the Jinghu Lake with his hands behind his back. After a long time in this Floating Scale Palace, he initially thought it was sparse with flowers and plants. After being neglected for these years, it has increased dramatically.
The colorful flowers put together are also inexplicably beautiful.
It is a rare luxury for Qi Junce to avoid disturbing state affairs and watch flowers in peace. The attendants around him didn't even dare to show their dignity for fear of disturbing the emperor's elegance.
But at this moment, a beautiful song seemed to come from the sky, and the wind suddenly picked up, ruffling the calm lake surface.
Qi Junce looked around, frowning, trying to find the source of the sound. Ma Dong, the internal official who had served him since childhood, immediately volunteered to drive away the singing woman, but Qi Junce waved him away.
Qi Junce followed the singing and slowly walked into the flowers.
Pushing aside the flower branches that were blocking the way, there was a woman in pink and purple clothes sitting on a grassy field among the flowers, with her back to Qi Junce.
Surrounded by flying butterflies, the woman sang a lingering love song. Her beautiful black hair was spread out casually, with a wreath of roses on her head.
Qi Junce approached slowly and looked at the woman who was still weaving a garland. It seemed that there was no such person in his harem.
Click - Qi Junce's footsteps suddenly crushed a dead branch, and the woman's singing stopped abruptly, and she slowly turned her head.
A ray of sunshine happened to break through the clouds and sprinkled evenly on the woman's body. It was gently coated with a layer of golden light, illuminating the woman's porcelain white skin and peerless face.
Even though I have seen many Yingying Yanyan's Qi Junce, I feel like my breath is stagnant.
Baozhu looked at Qi Junce who was a little stunned, knowing that he had achieved half of his goal, and then tilted his head, his eyes full of purity.
"Who are you?" Baozhu's voice was like pearls falling on a jade plate, falling into Qi Junce's heart so easily.
"Who are you?" Qi Junce quickly came back to his senses and looked at the orb in front of him calmly.
Baozhu did not reply to his words, but followed Qi Junce's lowered eyes to the ground. With a sound, Qi Junce took a step back unconsciously.
Only then did Qi Junce realize that he had stepped on not only a dead branch, but also a blooming rose.
Baozhu stood up from the ground, pretending to be calm and continued to look at the emperor of Li Kingdom, but in his heart he was actually panicking.
"You stepped on my flower." Bao Zhu said coquettishly, with a pout at the corner of his mouth.
This made Qi Junce very curious about this little girl. This was the first time in many years that a woman dared to talk to him like this.
"I did it unintentionally. Could it be that you want me to compensate you? Do you know that I am..." Before Qi Junce finished speaking, Yue Nu's shout sounded at the right time.
Baozhu pretended to be panicked and looked around, then stuffed the half-woven garland into Qi Junce's arms.
He said angrily: "Without that one, we can't make it. I'll give it to you. Don't step on other people's flowers casually in the future."
Before Qi Junce could come to his senses, Baozhu lifted up his skirt and ran away with the flying butterflies.
Qi Junce held the fragrance in his arms, and before he could call out to the treasure, the beauty just disappeared in front of his eyes.
Qi Junce couldn't help but laugh. At this time, Ma Dong and his party also followed. They were very surprised to see such a majestic emperor holding a garland in his arms.
Qi Junce chuckled and handed the wreath to Ma Dong again. "Go and find out who the woman who sang just now is."
After Baozhu and Yue Nu reunited, they hurried to Lan Yue Pavilion. Baozhu's heart almost jumped out of her chest, and she couldn't help but gasp.
Yue Nu worriedly supported the treasure and asked, "Girl, is this all right? But His Majesty doesn't even know who you are."
Baozhu paused and bit his lower lip. In fact, she wasn't completely sure. As an emperor who had seen all kinds of women, she couldn't seduce him with vulgar charms.
The best thing is to let Qi Junce come to the door on his own initiative. If Qi Junce can take the initiative to find the orb, then half the battle will be won.
"Yue Slave, no matter what, we must fight hard for our future." After Baozhu said this, he strode back to Lan Yue Pavilion.
Back in the palace, Ayan was wiping the vase and was a little surprised when he saw the orb running back in a hurry.
"Where did your concubine go in such a hurry?" A Yan asked with concern.
Bao Zhu grabbed the tea cup on the table and drank it all in one gulp. The tea suppressed the panic just now.
Baozhu still couldn't help but trembled, and turned around to look at Ayan. "Ayan, what kind of person do you think His Majesty is?"
Ayan murmured a little at a loss, and Baozhu smiled understandingly. "It's okay, it's just you and me at the moment, just tell me."
After listening to Baozhu's words, Ayan dared to continue: "I feel that Your Majesty is a... nostalgic person."
Baozhu was a little surprised by Ayan's words, "Oh? Where do you start talking about this?"
Ayan pursed her lips, continued to wipe the vase on her hand and said, "The Concubine Rong of Youchun Garden was the queen that Your Majesty most wanted to make at first."
Baozhu Bagua's heart was instantly ignited by Ayan, and she immediately moved a small stool and sat next to Ayan.
"I didn't know there was such a thing, tell me quickly." Baozhu's eyes were shining, making Ayan feel a little embarrassed.
"Concubine Rong was originally the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother. Her whole family died in the war while helping His Majesty in the war. We have been childhood sweethearts with His Majesty," Ayan said.
Baozhu held her face and said, "Oh, young and affectionate."
"Later, I had no choice but to marry the current Queen, but Concubine Rong's love is unmatched by anyone, even..." Ayan paused and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Even if Concubine Rong committed a capital crime in the end, she still didn't have the heart to punish her. She just moved to another palace, and the concubines were treated as usual."
After Ayan said this, Baozhu thought of the crazy Concubine Rong, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in her heart. Could it be that this is the case?
Baozhu originally wanted to continue listening, but Haitang hurried in from outside and told Baozhu that the internal official Ma Dong was here.
Baozhu knelt down respectfully and listened to Ma Dong's propaganda: "Tonight, His Majesty is hosting a banquet in the Everlasting Moon. Please invite Concubine Song to attend the banquet."
The Baozhu had some mixed feelings. Firstly, it meant that His Majesty already knew that she was the woman just now. Secondly, the Baozhu had to break into the deep silence of the palace.
Baozhu took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
He raised his head and saw Ma Dong's smiling face, with a flattering look on his wrinkled face.
"Concubine Song, your luck lies ahead."
After leaving these words, Ma Dong and his party left. Except for Yue Nu, who knew about it, Haitang and the others were all confused.
