Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 86
Wuwang Palace, Zide Hall.

At this moment, Qingji is reviewing a mountain of memorials!

In this era, because papermaking had not yet been invented, the memorandums submitted by the ministers and local officials were all written on bamboo slips and submitted to the palace.

Therefore, the bamboo slips one after another were piled up into a hill without knowing it. Qingji reckoned that the bamboo slips placed on one side weighed two hundred catties!

Fortunately, as the Dazai, Ji Zha did his duty and corrected it earlier, so let Qingji take a look at it again and give him some instructions.

Otherwise, Qingji is really busy now!
"Your Majesty, the Queen asks to see you."

At this time, Xiong Zidan, the commander of the guards who had been guarding the entrance of the hall, suddenly came in and reported.

Ji Kou?
Qingji frowned.

Ji Kou is the queen of Qingji, with a noble status.

But Ji Kou also has a very sensitive identity - Yue Si, the daughter of Yue Wang Yunchang!
Now Wu and Yue are still at war, so Ji Kou's presence in the Wu Palace has become rather embarrassing.

Of course, Qingji doesn't mind Ji Kou's status as the princess of Yue Kingdom.

The marriage between him and Ji Kou is a political marriage, but they are husband and wife after all, and they should have loved each other and raised eyebrows!

Qingji was already kind enough to Ji Kou, at least after he returned from the class of Zhenzi, he was lucky enough to visit Ji Kou twice...

"Let her in."

"promise!"

After Xiong Zidan stepped back, not long after, Ji Kou entered Zide Hall with a bowl of soup.

This bowl of soup also exudes a kind of heat, and the aroma is so strong that Qingji can't help but put down the brush in his hand and look around!
Ji Kou still has that glamorous appearance, but on her delicate face, she has added a kind of charm of a young woman with a flower letter. This kind of charming charm is indescribable.

I saw Ji Kou in a gorgeous palace attire, holding a bowl of soup, walking slowly in front of Qingji.

"Queen, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty has worked very hard on the affairs of the state. It is very regrettable that the ministers and concubines could not share the worries of the King. So I made a bowl of fish soup. Please have a taste of it to relieve your fatigue."

"The queen has a heart."

Qing Ji chuckled, and asked Ji Kou to put the bowl of soup on the table, but Ji Kou had already scooped up a spoonful of soup and wanted to feed Qing Ji to drink it!

Qing Ji shook his head, but still opened his mouth, letting Ji Kou feed him a spoonful of soup.

He wasn't worried that Ji Kou would poison the soup, because Gein couldn't do such things with the latter's heart, and it wasn't necessary.

Furthermore, any meal in the palace, especially the meal that Qingji wanted to eat, would be tasted by a dedicated court lady to see if there was any abnormality, and then it would be served for Qingji to eat!
This seems quite cumbersome, and sometimes Qingji can only eat leftovers, but this is a helpless move!
Sometimes having too many enemies is not necessarily a good thing!
"The taste is very delicious. I didn't expect you to have such cooking skills, Queen!"

Qingji gave a compliment.

"Your Majesty, my concubine's culinary skills are very average, they are just good at making soup."

Ji Kou lowered his head and replied quite decently.

Her voice has a strong Nong accent unique to Jiangnan water town, as if she has glutinous rice in her mouth, sweet and not artificial, which makes people have endless aftertaste.

Listening to Ji Kou's words can sometimes be regarded as a kind of enjoyment!
"My lord, let my concubine rub your shoulders for you?"

"The queen will still do this?"

Qingji asked in surprise.

"Understood."

Hearing this, Qingji simply stretched his arms, lay on Ji Kou's lap, and asked her to massage his bones.

Ji Kou's technique is quite unfamiliar, obviously she just learned it not long ago, her soft and boneless little hands were gently pushing and holding Qingji's back, which made Qingji enjoy it quite a bit, and gradually closed her hands. eyes.

Sneaking in from a busy schedule, many times it really makes people feel happy.

"Queen, you might as well speak up if you have something to say."

Qing Ji glanced at it, saw Ji Kou's hesitation to speak, and told her to say it was okay.

Ji Kou snorted, revealing her white and delicate neck, and said softly, "My lord, the imperial doctor just went to the palace supervisor Rumeng for diagnosis and treatment."

"Is Rumeng sick?"

"No, Your Majesty may not know about it. At first, my concubine also thought that Rumeng was ill, but after the diagnosis and treatment by the imperial doctor, Rumeng was for Ximai..."

"..."

Happy pulse?

Qingji was stunned for a moment.

The palace supervisor is the female official with the highest official position in the Wu Palace. The current palace supervisor is Rumeng, who has been lucky to be celebrated several times after a long drought and rain.

Now that the imperial doctor has diagnosed a happy pulse, doesn't that mean that Rumeng is pregnant, and the child in her stomach is a taboo?
"The widow knows, let people take good care of Rumeng, there must be no mistakes."

"The concubine obeys."

As for what happened between Qingji and Rumeng, Ji Kou, who is the queen, has naturally heard of it.

However, Ji Kou was not dissatisfied.

Although women are jealous, Ji Kou doesn't want her husband, wives and concubines to be in groups, to give all the love to herself, instead of sharing the love of her husband with other women.

However, Qingji is the king of Wu, so it is destined to be impossible to have only one woman and one queen in this life!

Ji Kou couldn't help but asked curiously: "Your Majesty, since Rumeng is already pregnant, why doesn't Your Majesty take advantage of the situation and formally enshrine her as a concubine?"

"The widow has already talked to Ru Meng about this, but she insists on refusing, so the widow will let her go."

Qingji respects Rumeng's choice.

Anyway, there is not much difference between female officials and concubines in essence, they are both women who belong to Qing Ji!
As long as Qingji is willing, he can visit a court lady anytime and anywhere, and no one else dares to gossip about it!

However, now that Rumeng is pregnant, Qingji has to worry about his future heir.

It would be fine if Rumeng gave birth to a daughter, but once she gave birth to a son, she would be Qingji's eldest son, the eldest son of a concubine!
According to the patriarchal system since ancient times, establishing a descendant, establishing an elder, establishing a virtuous, abolishing an elder and erecting a young is the way to bring disaster.

However, a concubine is a concubine after all, and the status of the eldest son of a concubine is inferior to that of a concubine!
And if Qing Ji gave birth to a son with Queen Ji Kou, he would be the first son, the eldest son!
The rest of the concubines, no matter how old or young, are actually not qualified to compete with the eldest son.

Of course, unless Qingji has the desire to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones, or intends to establish a virtuous person, but this is very likely to lead to the disaster of Wu Guo and lead to civil strife!

"My lord, I heard that your lord has sent Da Xingling Bo Tong as an envoy to Wuyuan. I don't know my father... King Yue, do you have any response?"

Ji Kou asked cautiously.

"The queen's news is well-informed."

Qingji chuckled, then changed into a comfortable position, continued to lie down, resting his head on Ji Kou's knee, and said, "There is no news from Wuyuan. However, your father Wang Yunchang can also be called a generation Heroes, as the saying goes, those who know current affairs are heroes!"

"Thinking about it, the king of Yue should be able to understand current affairs and agree to reconcile with the state of Wu and exchange information."
