General, please stay

Chapter 276

But after thinking about it, Guoguo gave up the idea of ​​putting Yan Junming on the table.After all, he is the king, so if he wants to kill him, he still has to leave some leeway.That's still bad luck.

So Guoguo said: "Uncle Wang, Guoguo is so poor that he doesn't dare to play cards. But he also wants to make a fool of himself. Is it your fault if you lose?"

Yan Junming said generously: "Okay, it's mine."

Immediately, the atmosphere at the gaming table changed.

The queen mother and the imperial concubine remained calm.Qigui suppressed a smile.

First of all, the more you lose in chess, the smaller you get. Guoguo even won two games.Then it was a fiasco.

Guoguo seemed a little uneasy, looked at Yan Junming, and said, "The cards haven't been made yet."

Yan Junming said: "It's okay, there will always be times when you can't do it. It's a risky thing. You just do it. If you lose, you will be counted as Uncle Wang."

With these words, Guoguo feels more at ease.

Then he boldly lost several times in a row.Qi Gui not only won back all the output just now, but even won some broken silver.

Yan Junming didn't care, he just smirked.

The noble concubine couldn't help but said: "If you continue to spoil the Princess like this, sooner or later you will be spoiled."

The Queen Mother doesn't care.Anyway, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.Besides, the girl's family is not married, so shouldn't she be thinking about being good for her mother's family?If my own mother doesn't protect her, who else will she protect?

Yan Junming didn't take it to heart, and said with a smile: "The child is just playing around, not to mention Guoguo has always been modest, I am not afraid that she will learn to be bad."

Qi Gui felt a little embarrassed, and said: "Forget it, why don't you come to the table to play, Your Majesty."

The Queen Mother looked up at her.

Qi Gui said awkwardly: "Today, I am in a hurry to go out..."

The queen mother said helplessly: "Aren't you hungry again? Zeng Baolin, it's just right, let someone pass some snacks."

Naturally, Chess Gui thanked the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother just refused to let her go to the table, and let her play while waiting for food.Qigui had no choice but to wink at Guoguo, telling her to restrain herself.

Guoguo deliberately blacked out two more chess pieces, and then gave Qigui the cards himself.

In this way, Yan Junming and the chess were returned to the rotation pit, and the atmosphere on the card table was peaceful and harmonious.

This is much better than what Qigui expected at the beginning.At least you don't have to vomit blood after losing, and what you just lost is likely to be won back by Yan Junming.

Play and play until evening.

When Yan Junxing came out of the palace, he saw his carriage waiting at the gate of the palace, which had not been seen for a long time.He was stunned, thinking how could she be willing to go out in such a cold day?
Opening the curtain of the car, he saw his lazy wife. He was immediately happy, and said, "Is the sun coming out from the west today?"

Qi Gui was dozing off, when he heard it he said angrily, "It came out from the west, and it's not warmer than usual."

Because I was dozing off just now, I feel even colder now, holding the heater in my hand, and sticking it to my face.

Yan Junxing got into the car and closed the door.Hearing what she said about today's incident, she laughed happily and said, "You should also be at the hands of Mrs. Wang. She has been having a violent temper recently."

Entering the palace today, Qi Gui also felt something was wrong, at this time Yan Junxing raised it, and she asked, "What's wrong?"

Even Yan Junxing heard the wind, so it can be seen that it is not a trivial matter.

"It's not the concubines who are tossing about."

In the earliest days, the harem was considered harmonious because it was deserted.There are only a few concubines in total, and Yan Junming's attitude is also cold, so it's hard to tell who he likes more.

As soon as Concubine Liu Gui became pregnant, this balance was broken.

For a month or two, Yan Junming attached great importance to this noble concubine again.He will be in the harem for a month, and it will only take seven or eight days.Among them, Concubine Liu Gui took up five or six days of it, but she couldn't go to bed, which was equivalent to occupying the latrine and not shitting.

Although it only took a month or two, Yan Junming faded away.He was not more enthusiastic about other concubines, and the harem changed from seven or eight days to two or three days.

The women in the palace were restless.Including Concubine Liu Gui, they were all ready to move.

Almost every few days, something happens.

First, Xin Meiren cheated her pregnancy, and later she shifted the responsibility to the imperial physician, saying that the imperial physician misdiagnosed her.Later it was Zhu Zhaorong's turn, because of her father's meritorious deeds, she was a bit arrogant, she danced around for a while, and then it was the Empress Dowager who came forward and suppressed her.

The Empress Dowager was naturally in a bad mood, feeling that the rules were all for nothing to these concubines.

"Fraudulent pregnancy?"

"Well, if her father wasn't still on the battlefield, she might not be able to escape."

Qi Gui sighed and said, "There are many right and wrong."

I can't help thinking that if I live in such a place all the time in the future, how comfortable will my life be?

Yan Junxing glanced at her, and said: "It's all because there is no one in the middle palace. Otherwise, with the queen suppressing, the concubine and concubine are separated, and these concubines can calm down a little bit."

Qi Gui muttered, noncommittal.

The Chinese New Year is when the weather is the coldest.

Marquis Wu's mansion has a small population, and most of them are children, so the Chinese New Year was simply arranged, and then the couple brought their two older children into the palace to attend the New Year's banquet.

After the new year, Yan Junming ordered soldiers and set off.Didn't even wait until the first month came out.

Qi State is already at the end of its strength, lingering and panting.If there is no accident, Yan Junming will be able to take down the entire country of Qi before the spring begins.Yan Junxing officially began to serve as regent, and he was much busier than before.

After the Lantern Festival, Yanjing began to have a month of sunny days, which was the time for the snow to melt.It seems that Yanjing was not only cold earlier last year, but also warmer earlier this year.

Qi Gui finally stopped being lazy like a dead snake all day long.The plan for a year is in spring, and she also started to tidy up the whole house.It was for this reason that she went to the palace to bring Guoguo back.

In Zichen Palace, facing the displeased Empress Dowager, Qi Gui carefully smiled.

"It's the beginning of spring, and many things in the mansion have to be taken care of. Seeing that Guoguo is thirteen, it's time to learn some housekeeping skills, and it will be easier to manage when she gets married... The concubine thought, why not take her back first , one is to help the concubine, and the other is to let her learn by herself."

The Empress Dowager said: "Guoguo is smart, you don't need to learn. As for you, there are only a few people in your house, and there is a concubine to help. It doesn't mean that there are no capable mothers. Could it be that you can't deal with it?"

Qi Gui said helplessly: "You are smart, you have to learn a little bit... Although in the past, I did housework at home, but I haven't done anything about the beginning of the new year."

Guoguo took the initiative and said: "Mother, the brothers and sisters are still young, and my mother and aunt are too busy. Guoguo can help take care of the children when he goes back."

After hearing this, the queen mother said: "Then go back and have a look, and help your mother. Remember that after finishing your work, you still have to go to the palace to accompany Ai's family."

Guoguo smiled and said: "Okay. Guoguo went back to help Madam, and will come back to accompany Madam soon."

Qi Guixin said, you think beautifully.

But right now she doesn't show her face, she just takes Guoguo out of the palace happily.

Guoguo's expression was not very good-looking, as if she still had something on her mind.

When the mother and daughter returned to Marquis Wu's mansion, she was still a little out of her wits, and when someone went to clean it up, Qi Gui talked to her, but she didn't hear her.

"Guoguo? Don't you want to come back with your mother?"

Guoguo shuddered and said, "Mom?"

Qi Gui looked at her and didn't speak.

Seeing her expression, Guoguo also sighed, and said, "Mother, don't be angry, Guoguo will tell you everything."

Qi Gui sat her down and said, "Speak, mother, listen."

"It's not that Guoguo doesn't want to come back with mother, it's just that there are some things in the palace that Guoguo can't let go."

"what's up?"

"It's Concubine Liu Gui... With Guoguo in the palace, at least her mother and child can be kept safe. Now that Guoguo is gone, I'm afraid her situation will be even more difficult. No matter what, she is pregnant with the king. Uncle's heir. Uncle Wang is now on the expedition, we can't let him be on the front line, are you still worried?"

Indeed, without Guoguo's overt and covert protection, how would Concubine Liu Gui's life be so easy?Still getting more and more arrogant day by day.And she didn't know at all that she had accepted Guoguo's favor.

Qi Gui said: "Wait, what does your uncle's noble concubine have to do with you? What's going on?"

Guoguo lowered her head and said: "Guoguo said, mother, don't be angry. Concubine Liu Gui has changed a lot since she became pregnant. It doesn't matter if she is jealous, but she is also very annoying. And she is eager to beg for a man. , she also took medicine in private. Guoguo managed to change her sachet and the medicine she was taking."

"medicine?"

"She got the prescription from her natal family. She usually made it into a sachet and took it with her, or made it into a pill and took it every day. She thought she could use this method to change a woman into a man."

"absurd."

Guoguo sighed: "It's really absurd. Guoguo looked up her prescription, and she couldn't understand it, and there was a small amount of cinnabar. After taking it for a long time, it is an abortion product. But she is sure that this product is contained in many elixir. Yes, it must have a miraculous effect."

"Then how did you do it?"

"Every once in a while, Guoguo will ask someone to change her medicine in private. She has no foundation in the palace, and she doesn't think that the people around her are unreliable, and she doesn't see anything wrong, so she still takes it like this. Although it is necessary to prepare sachets and pills with a similar taste, it will not produce any tonic, but at least it is harmless."

Even if Concubine Liu Gui has no foundation in the palace, Guoguo can already instruct people in Changchun Palace!And without anyone noticing it!

Guoguo said: "I'm afraid that Guoguo will stay outside the womb, and she won't be able to change her medicine regularly, or the palace people will be lax and let her find out, I'm afraid that her fetus will not be safe."

Qi Gui took a deep breath and said, "Let's ignore that Concubine Liu Gui for now, Mother asks you, does the Empress Dowager know about this?"

Guo Guo said: "I don't know. The Empress Dowager never mentioned it."

Qi Gui said: "You live in Zichen Palace, and you live under the eyes of the Empress Dowager every day. The Empress Dowager didn't mention it, there are only two possibilities. One is that the Empress Dowager is a fool. One eye, one eye closed."

Guoguo didn't expect this level, and was stunned.

The Queen Mother is naturally not a fool.That should be, open one eye, close one eye.

Qi Gui sighed: "You don't have to worry about Concubine Liu Gui, after all, she is the heir of the king, how could the queen mother take it lightly? In the past, you were just jumping ahead, so the queen mother was happy to have a leisurely time."
