The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 625 You Should Consider Early Moon
Bo Shuang lowered her head and drooped her eyebrows, and said softly: "Eighth son may be overthinking, the king should just like children, I am a humble servant, born in a family of ropes, pivots, jars and windows, and have little knowledge. The king is the true dragon emperor, how could he be interested in a person like me who wears a thorny hairpin and a cloth skirt?"

Ji Qiong shook her head and continued to persuade: "Bo Shuang, why are you so modest? Who wouldn't be moved by your stunning beauty? You are noble, gentle and virtuous, who wouldn't like you? I know that you admire heroes, that's why you are willing to marry Jing Ke, you definitely don't like ordinary men."

"But the king is the greatest man in the world."

Bo Shuang still kept his head down and said nothing.

Ji Qiong asked solemnly, "Isn't the king a wise and virtuous man?"

Bo Shuang quickly shook his head. He dared not remain silent anymore.

"Isn't your Majesty extremely wise and courageous?"

Bo Shuang then shook her head.

"Isn't your Majesty magnanimous and righteous?"

Bo Shuang continued to shake her head vigorously.

"Isn't your Majesty a master of both civil and military affairs?"

"Is your Majesty not extremely talented?"

"Isn't the king majestic and heroic?"

"Isn't the king handsome and heroic?"

Bo Shuang's neck was sore from shaking.

He said quickly: "Your Majesty is a dragon and phoenix saint, naturally rare in the ages, my late husband can never be compared with Your Majesty."

"But I am a criminal's family member, of low status, how dare I marry a noble?"

Ji Qiong said to himself: "The king is rich and powerful, and he controls all directions. All land under heaven belongs to the king, and all people in the world are his subjects. All people in the world are his subjects and concubines."

"Whether you are marrying up or not is not up to you. As long as you are alive, you belong to the king."

"To be favored by the king is a blessing that many people dare not even think about. I don't know how many of my sisters want to be noticed by the king, but the king has a very good eye and it is difficult for ordinary people to catch his eye."

"They are all royal ladies, but now they have become slaves and are living in poverty. It is a life worse than death."

"Zaoyue is still young now, ignorant in her cradle, but what about in the future?"

"So, from the moment I can remember, I have to be a slave?"

When Bo Shuang heard this, his heart was shocked and he clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

Ji Qiong continued, "Although you were born in an ordinary family, you are also a free person, with a father and a teacher to teach you, and you grew up in peace and happiness. But what about Zaoyue? If you don't transfer to the palace as soon as possible, you will still be a slave, and grow up as a slave from childhood. What will you become?"

"You can't even protect yourself, how can you teach Zaoyue? Where do you and your daughter get the time and energy?"

"The King never forces any woman he wants, but that doesn't mean anyone can refuse the King."

"Whatever the king wants, he will get."

"There are too many people who want to be favored by the king. If you don't seize the opportunity when the king is interested and has the idea, once the king is no longer interested, there will be no chance again."

"In this world, there are countless possibilities of falling into the abyss, but how many opportunities can a person have to change his fate?"

"If you don't seize it when you can, you will only regret it later."

Bo Shuang lowered his head and said nothing, his lips were bleeding from biting them.

Ji Qiong continued, "Besides, this is to show your obedience. Whether the hatred has disappeared or not, words are never as good as actions."

"Do you really still have any resentment in your heart?!"

Bo Shuang's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she raised her head abruptly, and said hurriedly: "Eighth son, I have no resentment at all. Your Majesty is so magnanimous and magnanimous, how dare I have any resentment? How could I be such an ungrateful person?"

Ji Qiong said softly: "Loyalty that can only be expressed with words is not worth mentioning!"

Bo Shuang pursed her lips tightly, her eyes were already red, and she was torn between her conscience and her desires, feeling extremely conflicted.

Ji Qiong continued in a cold voice: "It doesn't matter what I think. I believe you. But if someone else thinks so and spreads rumors, it will be a disaster."

"There's no need to slander the king. As long as the queen and Madam Yunmeng hear about it, it will be a disaster of great magnitude."

Bo Shuang collapsed on the bed, not caring about the mess on the bed, and buried her head in tears silently.

Ji Qiong sighed, leaned over and hugged Bo Shuang, his tone became gentle, and he comforted her softly: "Bo Shuang, you also said that things have passed, and we should look forward. The king is not wrong."

"Since you don't hate the king, why do you have to resist him? Is it an insult to be his woman, a man as great as the king?"

Ji Qiong leaned close to Bo Shuang's ear and whispered softly, "The king is the most loyal and righteous, and never treats his own people badly. If you are favored by the king, Zaoyue can live like a princess."

"When Bai Xueji entered the palace, she was only four or five years old. She was just a little slave, but Bai Xueji was loved by the Queen Mother and grew up like a princess. The king likes Zaoyue. If you are favored, how can Zaoyue suffer?" "Besides, if you are lucky enough to give birth to the king's heir, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, Zaoyue will be happy and worry-free with younger brothers and sisters to take care of him."

Bo Shuang only felt that Ji Qiong's words in her ears were full of bewitching power.

Yes, everything is over, why are you still insisting on it?

I am just a nobody, a blade of grass. It is a great honor for me that the king, who is so high and mighty, is willing to pay attention to me.

There is nothing shameful in crawling under the king, and everyone crawls under the king.

And, Zaoyue, my child.

Jiang Zaoyue's cute little face appeared in front of Bo Shuang, leaving her speechless.

But at this moment, Jing Ke's face appeared in front of Bo Shuang again, and Jing Ke seemed to be looking at her expressionlessly.

Bo Shuang was heartbroken. Her husband died because of the King of Qin. The person her husband hated most in his life was the King of Qin. Did she really have to crawl under the King of Qin?

The King of Qin has already ordered the Eighth Son to take good care of Zaoyue, and has also promised that Zaoyue can accompany the princess to school, and it may not be impossible for her to regain her freedom in the future.

The King of Qin is kind and generous. Would he bother with a little girl like me?
Bo Shuang sobbed silently, buried her head under her arms, biting her forearm hard to keep from making a sound, but she could no longer control her tears and they fell like rain.

Ji Qiong didn't say anything else, but just hugged Bo Shuang and gently stroked her back.

After a long time, Bo Shuang finally stopped crying and calmed down. She stood up and bowed to Ji Qiong, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, but I am stupid. Please give me some time to think about it."

Ji Qiong was a little disappointed, but she believed that Bo Shuang could not escape.

Ji Qiong nodded, sighed and smiled, "Get up. I know you can't make up your mind right now. The king may not come back until someday. You have plenty of time to think about it."

"Alas, I am a useless person. The king is so majestic, but I can't satisfy him. No wonder he doesn't want to come to me."

"I think you are favored by the king, and you also want to have an extra helper. If the king can enjoy himself, he can come to Bugao Palace more often, which will be a good thing for everyone in the palace."

"Life in the palace is really hard now. Only by relying on the king's favor can we and the children be better. Well, forget it, let's not talk about it. We can still live. You can think about it slowly. This kind of thing will lose its fun if you are unwilling to do it. If you make the king unhappy, it will backfire."

Bo Shuang lowered her head, not knowing what to say, and finally just responded with "yes".

When Bo Shuang returned to her own cabin, she found that Jiang Zaoyue had woken up. The child was not making a fuss, but just looking around with her big eyes wide open.

When he saw his mother coming back, he immediately smiled. Although he couldn't speak yet, he opened his little arms for a hug.

Bo Shuang walked quickly forward and picked up Jiang Zaoyue hastily. The child must be hungry.

However, Bo Shuang had no milk since she gave birth to the child, and had to rely on porridge to feed the child. Fortunately, the child had the internal strength of two masters and the nourishment of innate true qi, otherwise he would not have been raised so well.

Bo Shuang had stayed at Ji Qiong's place for a long time, and now there was no ready-made porridge, so she could only prepare to cook another pot quickly.

There were many people living in Bugao Palace. Ji Qiong was respectful to Bo Shuang and also felt sorry for the child, so she assigned him a separate room. Although the room was not big, it was really good. You know, even Ji Qiong's sisters had two or three people in one room.

Ju Rong and her friends were even worse off, as six of them had to live in one room.

Just when Bo Shuang simply coaxed the child and was about to put the child down to cook, someone knocked on the door.

It was Ji Qiong's personal nanny, Nanny Hui, followed by several maids, all holding things in their hands.

Bo Shuang hurriedly invited a few people into the house. As soon as they came in, the room was empty in an instant.

Madam Hui had a kind and friendly smile on her face and said with a smile: "Miss Bo Shuang, the king told me yesterday to take good care of the child. Ba Zi asked me to bring some daily necessities to the child."

Nanny Hui looked at the child with her eyes rolling around, smiled knowingly, full of love and doting, and hurriedly took out a box of food from the maid behind her.

"I guess the child is hungry now. I have some honey cheese, which is made from goat's milk and honey. It is the most suitable food for children. Let's eat it first."

"Bazi knows that Miss Bo Shuang is weak, so he has sent someone to get a wet nurse. She will arrive tomorrow at the latest. You can just endure it for one more day today."

Bo Shuang listened to what Nanny Hui said, and saw that Nanny Hui had taken the child and was feeding him. She saw the child wolfing down the food, eating with such satisfaction and happiness. She wanted to say no, but she couldn't.

In the end, he could only bow and thank them: "Thank you very much, my king, for your reward. Thank you very much, my dear son, for your reward."

"Thank you for your hard work, Ma'am. Thank you for your help."

While feeding the child, Madam Hui said with a smile on her face, "Miss Bo Shuang has been very helpful to us all the time. Why should I thank you for that?"

"But we still need to be grateful to the king and Bazi. With the king's orders, no one dares not to take care of them. Bazi can also take good care of you with a legitimate reason."

"Besides, forget it. Let's not talk about it for now. Miss Bo Shuang will know it in the future. Miss Bo Shuang is not without support in this palace."

Bo Shuang was curious, but it was not appropriate to ask too much now. Besides, her mind was so confused that she didn't want to delve into it further.
