General, please stay

Chapter 357
Zichen Palace.

There were quite a few people in front of the queen mother, all of them were wives and ladies from various families, as well as the few concubines of Yan Junming.They gathered together lively and lively.Judging by the Queen Mother's expression, she should be in a good mood.

Qi Gui smiled and went forward to salute, saying: "The concubine is for the empress dowager, and the empress dowager is paying her respects."

Guoguo was wearing a small official uniform, and she was the most conspicuous among all the people. Sitting next to the queen mother, she smiled at Qigui from a distance, then jumped down and said with a smile, "Mother."

Then he pulled Qigui and sat beside him.

Chess Gui swept his eyes.Most of Yan Junming's concubines are here.Among them were two demotions a few days ago, Zhu Zhaorong was deposed as a commoner due to theft and then restored to the rank of talented person because of his father's military service, and Xin Zhaoyi was demoted to a beauty because of offending the king.Only Concubine Liu Gui was still ill, and Wang Jieyu was given to death because of being burdened by the family.

For the rest, Concubine Jiang Shu even took the eldest son with her.

Seeing that child, Qi Gui's eyes lit up.

When the queen mother saw it, she said with some pity: "It's much better, after all, it's not really a deaf person. Concubine Shu must have contributed to this."

Concubine Jiang Shu hugged the child and said with a smile: "It was the queen mother who found a famous doctor for the eldest son of the king, and the concubine is just following the doctor's advice."

"That also shows that you have done your best. The eldest son of the king will have to repay you well in the future."

Speaking of which, even Concubine Jiang Shu didn't expect that a child that she didn't even want at the beginning made her a concubine in this harem, whether it was the queen mother or the king.Concubine Liu Gui is not doing anything right now, she has the highest status, and the most favored princess is getting close to her again, so she has taken advantage of everything.

Concubine Jiang Shu shyly said a few words.

Guoguo said: "Madam, I want to go to the library with my mother."

The Empress Dowager gave her a look, and said with a smile: "What's the rush? Your mother just came here, let her sit here for a while. All these imperial servants and misses have never seen your mother before."

After she said so, Qi Gui naturally had to stand up one by one to greet everyone.

A fat lady said: "The princess looks really small, she doesn't look like someone who has given birth to so many children at all."

Another thin lady said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Zhang who cured the eldest son of the king is a miracle doctor. Not only is he proficient in traumatic orthopedics, but he is also good at gynecology. Princess, you are very close to the water."

Qi Gui frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "Master Zhang is a military doctor, but he learned from Yunyin Mountain and made a lot of military exploits on the battlefield. He also comes to the mansion to talk to the general in his free time, but he is indeed a concubine." Take advantage."

Guoguo said displeasedly: "That's my father's knowledge of people. Master Zhang's previous reputation was not so obvious, right? Besides, Guoguo privately thought that Master Zhang had saved the lives of countless soldiers on the battlefield. Also an amazing person."

How can you become that doctor who only cares about women's illnesses and health preservation in the mouth of your group of women!
To Qigui's surprise, Guoguo's words were more effective than hers. These people immediately stopped chirping and lowered their heads, just laughing.

The queen mother has become more and more tired of these women recently, she just waved her hand and said: "Qigui, you come to Ai's house."

Qigui passed obediently.

The queen mother asked her: "This baby has been bumpy on the road for a long time, do you feel uncomfortable when you come back?"

Qi Gui shook his head, and said softly: "If Hui Niangniang said, I don't feel any discomfort."

The Empress Dowager said: "That's good. You young people, you don't know the seriousness, you ran out as soon as you said you would run, completely disregarding the consequences. I don't know that there are old people who are worried about you."

Even looking at the concubine, I haven't seen her like this!The girls bowed their heads in silence.

Concubine Jiang Shu was the only exception, she was also favored, so she was not jealous, she held the child in her hand, and said with a smile: "My lady, you are not old at all. But the chess belongs to the princess, the queen mother really misses you very much."

Lu Xiuyi suddenly said in a strange way: "Could it be that the empress is still trying to coax the princess?"

What a mess this is...

Concubine Su gave Lu Xiuyi a cold look.

Guoguo took the initiative to save the siege, and said, "Mother, tell us what happened along the way."

The return of chess is an afterthought, but I finally understand it.Looking at this line of imperial orders, the timid girls they brought with them, and the expressions of these concubines, she finally understood.Now that the world has decided, it is time to choose a concubine for Yan Junming!

Thinking of this, thinking of Guoguo, Qi Gui's expression became a little gloomy.

Guoguo said: "Mom?"

Qi Gui forced a smile, and said: "This journey is just a tour of mountains and rivers, so I don't know if it's fun or not."

Concubine Su Taigui took the initiative: "I heard that Lord Shi took you back to Chen Ping and moved out the tomb of Queen Chen?"

Qi Gui smiled and said: "Going back to the Empress Dowager, the decision was made hastily, and I didn't go back to Beijing to ask for the imperial decree first."

The world has been in chaos for more than 100 years, and so many battles have been fought, but massacres of cities are not very common.In recent decades, the most famous thing is that Zhao Jing was slaughtered, and King Zhao died in the palace with all his relatives and children.

Famous, not only because of the original tragedy.Also because of the delicate relationship between Chen and Zhao.When it comes to in-laws, Chen and Zhao are inextricably linked, and have been allies for hundreds of years.When Zhao State was destroyed, troops were still sent to aid Chen, and the eldest princess of Zhao State was still the queen of Chen State.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for the only remaining blood of the Zhao family to want to move the tomb of his eldest sister from Chen Ling.

Concubine Su said with pity: "This is as it should be."

Guoguo said: "Mother, this can be written in the history books."

The crowd laughed.

Concubine Jiang Shu asked curiously: "I have read some books...Since the princess was able to escape at that time, it must have been extremely dangerous, right?"

Now, Qi Gui has been able to bring up these matters relatively calmly.Seeing that the Queen Mother and Concubine Su turned their heads, she knew that this was what everyone wanted to hear.On the contrary, Guoguo looked at her worriedly.

The queen mother coughed lightly, and said: "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. If you want to talk about it, you can ask Guoguo to write it in the history books."

Everyone laughed again.

Qi Gui smiled and said: "Your Majesty loves you so much, there is nothing you can't say. This has to start when the concubine was six years old..."

Because of a mistake by Qin Tianjian, she was sent to the temple as a good princess and stayed there for six years.

"...the year the country died, Chen Qie was only 12 years old and knew nothing. The city was slaughtered on the mountain, but no one remembered that there was such a princess as Chen Qie. It happened that Chen Qie and two senior sisters went to play in the forest that day. Then I saw Chen Jun slaughtering wantonly in the nunnery. The concubine met the only remaining old troops of Zhao State, that is, the iron-blooded eight cavalry. They went down the mountain safely under the escort of the cavalry master."

Then someone asked, "Then how did you get out of the city?"

Qi Gui turned his head, smiled at the girl who was Fang Erba at that time, and said, "He walked out."

The girl's mother said: "Naturally, she came out. But at that time, wasn't King Chen closing the city?"

"Yes, the city is closed. However, there are corpses everywhere in the city. Chen Jun is busy looting and killing people everywhere, and they all gather outside Zhao Wang's palace in order to get a share of the pie. It was also because the ministers and concubines were lucky that they stumbled along the way and came out."

Sounds...not fun at all.

Many people shuddered when they heard it, and got goosebumps all over their bodies.Some people even wiped their tears secretly.

After Qi Gui finished speaking, his expression was calm, and he brought the tea beside him to drink.

Concubine Jiang Shu said again: "Then how did you meet Marquis Wu?"

Qigui turned around, asked Guoguo, and said with a smile, "Should this also be written in the history books?"

Guoguo said embarrassingly: "This, you can't write indiscriminately..."

The girls burst into laughter again.

Someone said: "No matter what happened in the past, the princess is a blessed person after all. Who in the capital does not know that Marquis Wu dotes on the princess, and he is really spoiled to the bone."

Chess returns and laughs it off.

The Queen Mother looked at her, thoughtfully, and said: "Chen Guo, is there anything that hasn't been fixed yet?"

Qi Gui hurriedly said: "Going back to your mother, the eldest sister of the concubine brought the two twin concubine sisters to marry. At that time, because of the rush of time, the tombs of the two concubine sisters were not found. According to the concubine As far as we know, the two elder sisters are in Chen Gong, and their identities are Xiu Yi and Zhao Rong respectively."

The queen mother said: "What do you mean, you want to move your two concubine sisters out?"

Qi Gui's eyes darkened, and said: "Although the deceased is dead, but the concubine..."

Concubine Su was a little excited, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said, "Madam, then King Chen betrayed his faith and killed his wife and son. Even though this is a state war, the Zhao family has blood, how can they share the same hole with the thief?"

Guoguo also said: "Yes, ma'am, if you don't agree, my mother will have to go to Chen Wangling to look for it for a long time. She looks like this..."

The queen mother said helplessly: "The Ai family didn't say no."

Qi Gui hurriedly said: "My concubine thank you for your kindness."

The Empress Dowager said: "Don't just be happy. The Ai family has done this for you, so you can stay in Beijing. If you feel bored, go read books with Guoguo and select Zhao Shi. You can't think about running around anymore. .”

Qi Gui's heart warmed up, and he said gratefully: "Yes, my concubine knows."

She is also a sensible person.When Concubine Jiang Shu spoke before, she hadn't reacted yet, but when Concubine Su Taigui spoke, she felt...

Concubine Su is not such an impulsive person.

These, I am afraid, have been discussed before.Yan Junxing promised that he would kill King Chen after entering Beijing.But Chen Wang was easy but unable to move.All of you here are noble wives who are number one in the capital, and women's mouths are the most unreliable.This coming out of Zichen Palace, after going out, it must be widely spread.

King Chen has already been notorious for a long time, but when he was still the king, this incident was gradually forgotten.It's different now, he's just a prisoner, and if someone takes the lead in stepping on him, then everyone will be happy to be thrown into trouble.
