Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 20 Encounter
"Let's talk." There was a slight smile in the tent. "Princess Baoguo, Your Majesty is kind, as long as your request is not excessive, Your Majesty can consider it." Chong Hua announced to Bao Si.

Bao Si's heart trembled slightly, and she kowtowed solemnly: "Your Majesty the Queen, the foster father of this servant, Marquis Bao, was wronged, please be sure to learn from the King, Your Majesty the Queen."

"Is this the case? Yes, Baoguo sent you here just to atone for Houhou Bao. I think the king will keep his promise." Empress Jiang responded easily.

"My servant, thank you for your kindness!" Bao Si felt a little more at ease in her heart, and thankfully kowtowed three times again. Axi, who was following behind, saw Bao Si's forehead swollen, and couldn't help feeling distressed, and secretly tugged at Bao Si. Si's sleeve said: "Princess, a little thought is enough."

The summoning this time was much more comfortable than the concubine Jin's punishment. After Baosi kowtowed and stepped back, she was in high spirits when Chonghua suddenly stepped forward and saluted, "Princess Baoguo, what do you think of your empress?"

"Your Majesty is dignified and generous, and she is a very nice person. The servant girl is very grateful!" Bao Si said with enthusiasm in his eyes.

"Well, princess, this palace has always been full of bloody storms and dangers, but don't be afraid. If you have any grievances with Concubine Jin, you can file a complaint with the queen as much as possible. After all, the queen is the master of the palace, and she will definitely be fair. And it was broken." Chonghua said happily.

"Then bring your maid to thank the Queen for protecting you. The servant will definitely not disappoint the Queen's kindness." Bao Si seemed to understand something, and hurriedly saluted to thank her.

After Chonghua left, Axi pouted all the time and asked strangely: "Princess, why do you want to thank the queen so many times?"

"Fool, can't you see it? The fact that the King came to Yuxiu Palace in time to save us today is clearly a letter from the Empress Dowager Queen, she is our savior!" Bao Si slightly annoyed.

"Oh, so that's the case, then the princess will no longer be afraid of that vicious woman, Imperial Concubine Jin." Axi said happily.

Because Xinyue, the foreman of Chaoyang Palace, was seriously injured, Xiao Dezi replaced her and arranged for Baosi's master and servant to live in Jianjiaxuan of Chaoyang Palace according to the imperial edict. The rainy plantains are dripping outside the thin curtain, making people feel refreshed.

"Princess, your title in the palace has not been promulgated by the king yet, so you can wait here for the time being." Xiao Dezi saluted respectfully.

"Okay, Eunuch De, thank you very much, Axi, for your reward!" Bao Si hurriedly saluted, and hinted that Axi would take the money.

Xiao Dezi was sent away, and Baosi lived in the harem for a month, but she never waited for the king's summons. Whether Baohou was pardoned by Zhou Tianzi because of her arrival, Baosi didn't know anything, and she was anxious. Next, remembering Chonghua's parting words, he sent Axi to find Chonghua for news.

"Princess, don't worry, Axi and I have a few good sisters in the palace. Axi will definitely find out what gossip is going on." Go to the female officer Zhonghua.

At dusk, Axi rushed back happily and told Baosi the good news of the previous court: "Princess, I am overjoyed. The old Hou Ye was released the day he rescued us in the king, and now he is returning to Baosi safely." on the road to the country."

"Thank God, I have finally repaid Lord Hou for saving his life!" Bao Si smiled happily, knelt down and kowtowed to Dongfang a few times.

"Princess, but our affairs are not so optimistic. Since the king arranged us in, the news has been cut off. It seems that the suave king has completely forgotten us!" Ah Xi complained. road.

"It's good to forget!" Bao Si's eyes suddenly appeared the delicate face of Emperor Minggong whom he had seen a month ago with trepidation.

"Your Majesty has thousands of beauties in his harem, but what are we? Perhaps, His Majesty has already thrown us away. If we beg His Majesty to let us go back at this time, I don't know if it is possible." Bao Si murmured muttered to himself.

"Ah! Princess, this servant heard me right, do you want to leave the palace? This is impossible. As long as she is a woman who has entered the palace, she will never be able to get out." Axi gaped.

"But, I'm in Baoguo, so I already have one." When Baosi said this, her little face couldn't help but flush red, like peach blossoms in March.

"Oh, princess, you already have a man you like in Baoguo, who is he, can you tell Axi?" Axi interrupted with interest.

"He is also a suave and stalwart man, skilled in bowing and horses, ambitious, gentle and affectionate, his name is Que Tu!" With longing eyes, Bao Si leisurely said the name of Que Tu.

"Oh! Princess, then he must love you very much, so why would he be willing to let you enter the palace?" Axi put his hand on his chin and gossiped.

"Perhaps, this is fate. If there hadn't been a major accident in our Xia family and Lord Hou saved me, maybe things would have been different!" Bao Si subconsciously caressed the colorful thin curtains, and leisurely looked at the scenery outside the window.

"Report to Your Majesty, the prince of Baoguo is seeking an audience!" Some melodious musical instrument blew into Baosi's ears in the sound of the edict from the previous court.

"Axi, did you hear the word Dutu from the previous dynasty just now?" Bao Si's heart suddenly stirred up a layer of ripples.

"It seems that there is such a name, princess. Could it be your lover who came to Beijing to look for you?" Axi joked with a smile.

"Ju Tu, is it really you?" A spark sparked in Bao Si's heart. "Axi, let's go, let's go to Qianchao to have a look!" Bao Si lightly took Axi's little hand, and walked along the winding path like a fairy flying from the sky.

"Is it Dr. Cheng Rong? I don't know what will happen when the king summons you this time?" In the distance, the voices of courtiers' conversation really came.

"That voice is obviously him!" Bao Si only felt that her tears had unknowingly soaked the front of her clothes.

"Master Jutu, did you come to the capital just for me this time?" Bao Si began to think wildly.

"Princess, what are you doing? A concubine is not allowed to slip away to the former court. This is the family law of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As a beauty, you must be cautious, and be careful of restless people who keep spreading rumors and attacking you!" Chonghua took a look. Ban Xiaogong just blocked Baosi and Axi's way at this moment.

Bao Si hurriedly lowered her head, like a rose in the rain: "Sister Chong Hua, Bao Si knew it was wrong."

"It's good to know you're wrong, princess. In fact, in the past month, the imperial concubine Jin of the West Palace has been finding someone to spread rumors outside to slander you Baoguo. If it weren't for the kindness of the queen and empress, she would not be able to support you, and Lord Baohou would not You will return to Baoguo so smoothly, so please obey the queen's arrangement." Chonghua warned.
