Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 28 Pain
The legend that Baosi was favored by the emperor spread like wildfire in the harem of the Zhou Dynasty. One month later, the entire streets and alleys of Beijing were talking about this lucky princess of Baoguo.

As for Jianjiaxuan, the drums and zithers sounded together, day and night.The fragrance of flowers is overwhelming, and the wine is even more intoxicating. From far away from Jianjiaxuan, the ladies in the palace can hear the long and moving melody on the palace stage.

"Auntie, all the ladies in the palaces have lined up people from Jiaxuan to pay their respects to the king. There are more and more people, how can I answer to the above?" the frowning little maid murmured road.

"It's okay, the king has a decree. If there is no one missing, if someone comes to pay their respects, you can just send them away confidently!" Xin Yue smiled kindly.

"Strange, what's going on in Jianjiaxuan?" The maids looked at each other in dismay.Inside the jingling pearl curtain, Ming Gong was embracing Bao Si without any scruples, enjoying the musician's drum, zither, and flute together.

"Your Majesty, why are you so nice to your concubine all of a sudden?" Bao Si's crescent-browed Huarong, who looked like an orchid, showed a hint of puzzlement and bewilderment.

Ming Gong smiled and supported Bao Si's shoulders, and said earnestly, "Because I want to cherish the most precious thing I have!"

"The most precious thing? Your Majesty, what are you referring to?" Bao Si asked even more puzzled.

"That is your pure and holy virgin heart! In fact, I am 35 this year. As the saying goes, people will not be confused until they are [-]. Some precious things will not be more precious until you feel that you are about to lose them!" Mingong's eyes shone charmingly like the starry sky.

"But Your Majesty, there are so many concubines in the harem, as well as queens and noble concubines. What would they think if you only accompany your concubines?" Bao Si asked back.

"I don't care about this widow. They will only use me. None of them are sincere. I have taken such a long detour before, neglected you, and abused you. For all this, I will pay you twice as much compensation. I only hope that you will stay forever. By the widow's side!" Ming Gong grabbed Bao Si's hand and held it in his arms, talking childishly.

"This..." Bao Si's eyes clearly showed fear and confusion.

"Don't worry about it so much, come on, Ah Si, drink!" Mingong picked up the glass and quickly drank it down.

It was already dawn, and all the ministers who were about to go to court got off their carriages and waited in line at the Chaoyangmen Square. Qu Tu got up very early today, and he brought An Tong to make an appointment with the doctor Cheng Rong to discuss strengthening the border Proposals for the construction of the city.

"Young Master Jutu!" With a leisurely smile, Doctor Cheng Rong waved his hand in front of him holding the imperial wat.

"Master Qutu, why are you so listless? Did you drink alcohol last night?" Cheng Rong looked carefully at Quetu's face and couldn't help guessing.

"Your Excellency, you have good eyesight. Our young master drank until the third watch last night, and kept calling Ah Si, Ah Si." An Tong said, stroking his head.

"An Tong, don't talk nonsense!" Jue Tu immediately stopped An Tong, Cheng Rong caressed his beard and said, "A man has to love his sons and daughters, and he has no choice but to do it. If I guessed correctly, the young master heard about the palace's praise of the country. Rumors that the princess is favored by the king?"

"Exactly, Doctor Cheng, I never expected that things would turn out like this!" Qu Tu paused.

"My lord, so before, I advised you to agree to the marriage of the Princess of Qi as early as possible. As the saying goes, the cause and effect are unknown before the time comes. You and Miss Bao Si are destined to miss each other in this life. It is the best choice to let go when it is time to let go!" Cheng Rong persuaded.

"But!" Jue Tu was about to say more, at this moment, the Jingyang bell in Chaoyang Palace rang, and the sun was wide open, and the officials lined up in civil and military squads, and filed in. Above the main hall, Emperor Minggong was holding his hand in high spirits. Sitting on the dragon chair, wearing twelve crowns on his head, he is very mighty.

"Xiao Dezi, declare the decree immediately, Jianjiaxuan Baoguo Princess Baoshi, gentle and gracious, respectful and Minhui, anxious to be crowned imperial concubine, admirable!"

All the ministers of His Highness were boiling, no one expected that the new Princess Baoguo had not been in the palace for long, and she was already sitting on an equal footing with the imperial concubine Jin who ruled the six palaces in the palace.

Jutu's eyes were full of loss and confusion, Ah Si, is it true that we are really missed in this life?

Due to the coronation of the new imperial concubine, Chaoyang Palace had a grand banquet for the officials today. Under the feasting and feasting, Minggong approached Qutu with a bit of drunkenness: "Brother Qutu, the future achievements of the widow depend on your loyalty. Do you know why the widow wants to establish a new concubine today? For power! The strength of the foreign relatives is too great. Queen Jiang and Concubine Jin have half the power of the court behind them. The widow wants to establish a concubine with no background, praise Hou Baogui is utterly loyal, and his daughter is the best candidate!" Mingong's drunken eyes were full of expectation and respect.

"Your Majesty is wise! I will serve the country loyally!" Que Tu's blood was already boiling.

"However, Your Majesty, I would like to ask a question, do you really like the newly established imperial concubine?" As soon as these words came out, it was so clear and calm.

Minggong looked at Qutu in surprise, suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said joyfully, "I just feel that I can't live without her in this life!" In a drunken state, he expressed clearly.

Jue Tu's heart suddenly turned cold: "I hope His Majesty treats her well!"

Jian Jiaxuan, Baosi, dressed in a concubine's full attire and a gorgeous headgear, looked at the glory of the previous court quietly by herself.

"Your Majesty, it's time to enter the palace, the king will be here soon." Axi reminded carefully.
