Baozhu was always a little restless at the banquet, and Qi Fengyu's words clearly suggested that Baozhu was the woman that night.
But what's strange about Baozhu is that Qi Fengyu has no intention of exposing himself, but instead just enjoys Baozhu's panic and confusion. There is a hint of wooing in his words.
Baozhu's seat was diagonally opposite Qi Fengyu's male guest seat. Baozhu was so stiff that he didn't dare to turn his face all night, for fear of seeing Qi Fengyu's eyes that seemed to be able to see through his own heart.
"Congratulations to the emperor brother, two emperors have been added in one day. This kind of honor is really enviable to me." Just when Baozhu was thinking randomly, Qi Fengyu's voice suddenly sounded, causing Baozhu to hold the The hand holding the wine glass trembled.
Baozhu finally had a legitimate reason to turn his gaze away, and saw Qi Feng Yu looking at Qi Junce with a smile on his face with interest.
Since Qi Junce suddenly gave birth to two eldest children, he has been laughing so hard that his teeth are almost coming out. Every day he is either in Hengwu Palace or Weiyang Palace, or on the way to Hengwu Palace or Weiyang Palace.
Baozhu seemed to be able to sense that Qi Junce was not more affectionate towards Jiang Heng because he kept Qingtang by his side. Of the two parties, he was more interested in the little princess.
Lian Ma Dong couldn't help but said: "This is your Majesty's favorite little princess."
Qi Junce's eyes were so gentle that he almost shed tears, immersed in the cute look of Qingtang sleeping soundly.
"Good luck to my daughter," Qi Junce said. "My daughter doesn't have to suffer and suffer. In the future, if she has a father, she will have everything."
Baozhu looked at Qi Junce's fatherly appearance and comforted herself that he was the child's biological father after all, while suppressing the disgust that almost made her explode when Qi Junce approached Qingtang.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. This is also my concubine's honor." Baozhu said politely.
Qi Junce reluctantly admired it for a while before handing Qingtang over to the wet nurse. Seeing that the wet nurse had entered the inner room and was out of sight, she turned around without feeling satisfied.
Yue Nu served a small group of tea, and Qi Junce tasted it carefully. After a while, he put the tea cup down and looked directly at the orb.
Baozhu touched her face with some embarrassment and asked, "Is there something on my face? Why is Your Majesty looking at me like this?"
Qi Junce took Baozhu's hand that was resting on the coffee table and placed it on his own hand. Rubbing Baozhu's soft fingers, Baozhu suddenly felt horrified.
Qi Junce smiled and said: "You and Heng'er have given me a child. You are the great contributors to the Li Kingdom."
Bao Zhu smiled appropriately, always pretending to be meek, and said, "It is really my concubine's responsibility as a palace concubine. It's your majesty's favor."
Qi Junce sighed and stared forward. Baozhu raised his head with some confusion, looked at Qi Junce and cursed in his heart not knowing what to do again.
"Now that the position of the Queen is vacant, it is inevitable that the people of the former court and the harem will be in doubt. Now, I also have a headache." Qi Junce said.
Baozhu's eyes rolled, could Jiang Heng be the queen? ! Then this is all good news for them.
Baozhu hid the excitement in his heart and asked in a pretense of confusion: "Your Majesty, don't bother me. The post is a matter of great importance to the country and even the entire country. You can't be careless."
Qi Junce breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "I don't know, but because of the bloody storm caused by the latter, the chaos in the previous dynasty is a lesson for others."
Baozhu thought about it carefully. The chaos in the previous dynasty was caused by Queen Huo's struggle for the throne. Qi Junce had a psychological shadow since then. Queen Gu Linqing really did not do her duty well enough, which inevitably made him feel that the post was worse than empty. With.
But even if this is the case, Baozhu also wants to work hard, even if it is to make the road between himself and Jiang Heng easier in the future.
"Then, Your Majesty," Baozhu tilted his head and asked, "What do you think?"
Qi Junce looked into Baozhu's clear eyes and spoke his heart: "I don't want to establish another queen. Too many people have suffered bloody injuries because of this. I despise it and would rather stay in the air."
Baozhu felt disappointed for a while, but then quickly changed, maybe not, which is also a benefit.
Nowadays, the concubine with the highest status in the palace is Jiang Heng. You can't promote another one to make others complain.
"But what is difficult for Your Majesty is that the vacant post means that people are restless, and it also means that there is no leader in the huge harem." Baozhu said Qi Junce's hesitation, and Qi Junce looked at Baozhu with a look in his eyes. A little more praise.
"No one knows me better than the jewel." Qi Junce said.
"Below the queen are the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine." Qi Junce paused for a while, "I want to make you the Imperial Concubine, and Heng'er, the Imperial Concubine."
Baozhu's heart suddenly opened up, and now there is no queen in the palace, and the imperial concubine has the same position as the deputy queen.
Thinking of this, Baozhu's heart began to fill with joy. But seeing the slightest hesitation in Qi Junce's eyebrows, Baozhu gritted his teeth and decided to push him.
Baozhu calmly stood up and stood in front of Qi Junce, knelt down and kowtowed. Qi Junce quickly wanted to help her up and asked her what she was doing.
Baozhu waved his hand to reject Qi Junce's move, and raised his face that he couldn't bear to punish even if he did something big wrong.
"Your Majesty, I do not seek the position of a noble concubine. I would like to pray for the little princess and ask for a favor like your Majesty." Baozhu said solemnly.
Qi Junce looked at her, frowned slightly and asked, "You are the most comfortable to me, and you have never asked for anything. Just tell me, and I will agree to it."
Bao Zhu nodded and stared at the hem of her skirt and said: "I would like to request for all the concubines in the harem to allow the more senior concubines to be promoted to the throne. Bao Zhu, I would like to be the unique Concubine Chen in His Majesty's heart."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Junce held up Baozhu and remained silent for a long time.
Bao Zhu's heart was pounding, wondering if such a risky move was too much.
Qi Junce summoned Ma Dong, and Ma Dong bowed to wait.
"Now, all the palace concubines except Concubine Chen will be promoted to one level. Concubine Shu will be promoted to Concubine Shuhuang. She will take charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. The canonization ceremony will be in accordance with the queen's order." Qi Junce said.
Ma Dong's originally smiling face slowly changed from confusion to shock, and he stuttered and asked: "Ah...?"
Qi Junce did not blame him for his mistake and continued: "Concubine Chen will reward you with a hundred taels of gold and food for two thousand households."
Baozhu curled his lips, Qi Junce agreed, and it was better this way.
Bao Zhu stood up to thank him, and Ma Dong hurriedly went to draft the edict.
The harem of Li Kingdom has never been so lively. The concubines were promoted at the same time, which was truly a supreme honor.
The careless Concubine Cheng also came to comfort Bao Zhu about her regret of not being promoted to the throne. Bao Zhu smiled and said nothing because this was the result she wanted.
At the banquet in the blink of an eye, Baozhu was confused by Qi Fengyu's words, not knowing whether they were blessings or intentional taunts.
"Feng Yu, you are quite old now. I intended to offer you a marriage but you declined repeatedly. Only you have the courage." After Qi Junce said this, he laughed heartily.
Qi Fengyu also had a smile hidden on his lips, but did not answer Qi Junce's words.
Qi Junce smiled and said, "I wonder if Feng Yu has a woman he likes, so he refuses to get married?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looked at Qi Fengyu tacitly, with nostalgic expressions of affection on their faces.
You must know that the reputation of this King of Yangcheng can be compared with that of His Majesty in his youth.
"My brother does have a woman he likes," Qi Fengyu admitted readily. "But that woman doesn't seem to have me in her heart."
Everyone started chattering, wondering what kind of woman even the prince would reject. Baozhu suddenly felt a bad premonition and picked up the wine glass, trying to cover up his uneasiness.
"Oh?" Qi Junce became interested, "What kind of woman is she that even my brother can't look down on?"
As if Qi Fengyu was deliberately seducing Qi Junce, the hall that was noisy just now fell silent, everyone was quietly waiting for Qi Fengyu to talk about a romantic affair.
Qi Fengyu sighed, whetting everyone's appetite.
"Sigh, I didn't even see that woman's face clearly. She just broke into my room on a romantic night, came quietly, and left quietly."
Qi Fengyu's eyes deliberately met Baozhu's, and Baozhu immediately lowered his head and took a sip of wine.
"Finally, I entered Zhouzhuang like a dream butterfly, and there was no trace of it again." Qi Fengyu said.
Qi Junce sat up straight with an incredible smile on his face, "There is such a bold woman in this world. I don't know where I met Feng Yu. I will find it for you!"
Baozhu gritted his teeth and glanced at Qi Junce. Just shut up and give it to you.
Qi Fengyu rolled his eyes and deliberately slapped Baozhu's body back and forth.
Hearing such a description, he knew that the orb was meant for him, his heart almost rose to his throat, and his hands were clenched tightly under the cover of his sleeves.
Qi Fengyu smiled slightly, "Outside the palace, or maybe in my brother's dream."
After hearing what Qi Fengyu said, Baozhu's stiff body relaxed, his hands stretched open, and he rolled his eyes silently.
Qi Fengyu seemed to be teasing him intentionally, so it seemed that he had to be careful.
After the banquet, Baozhu went straight to Hengwu Palace, startling Jiang Heng who was about to settle down.
Baozhu didn't have time to explain, so he pulled Jiang Heng into the inner room and immediately asked about Qi Fengyu.
Although Jiang Heng was a little confused, he still knew everything about the pearl: "King Yangcheng has been raised under the Queen Mother's knees since he was a child. Although he is not his biological son, he is better than his biological son."
Jiang Heng took Baozhu and sat down, and continued: "If nothing else, although these two brothers are not from the same mother, they have a very good relationship and both have outstanding looks."
Xiaoman brought tea and interrupted Jiang Heng. Baozhu immediately urged him to continue.
Jiang Heng said dumbfounded: "But King Yangcheng's talent in various fields is mediocre, and he was still young during the disaster, so he escaped. Now he is your majesty's only brother."
Bao Zhu frowned and listened to Jiang Heng finish these words. It sounds like King Yangcheng does not pose a threat, but what does he mean by helping her?
Jiang Heng noticed Baozhu's silence, put away his smile and asked, "What's wrong?"
Baozhu wrinkled his face in distress, and after thinking about it, he told Jiang Heng about the unexpected incident with King Yangcheng.
Jiang Heng was so shocked that his eyes widened and he shouted, "What!"
Just as the two of them were staring at each other, Yue Nu hurriedly ran over and said, "My Lady, the wife of the envoy of the Mi Gen Kingdom wants to see you."
Bao Zhu was a little surprised. It was true that envoys from various countries were invited to tonight's banquet, but they were all sitting at the outer table and he didn't see it.
And why did the envoy's wife ask to see him? Thinking about it, I don't think it's a good thing. But after thinking about it again and again, I still felt that I should go there.
Baozhu and Jiang Heng said goodbye in a hurry and came to the villa. When they opened the door, they saw their unexpected face.
