Rebirth of the ghost concubine of the confused country

Chapter 78 The Winner is King and the Loser is Kou
Empress Li nodded and smiled wryly, with a hint of self-mockery and dissatisfaction with her son in her voice.Because, although she understands her situation, she still refuses to give up. She doesn't want to admit in front of her son that in the eyes of the emperor, she is really a thing of the past.

"Concubine Mu, if you don't make up your mind, it will be too late when Nan Gongxun comes back! Concubine Mu!"

Seeing that her mother was still stubborn at this time, Nangong Xi couldn't help but said anxiously.

"Okay, Ben Gong knows. You go down first, and I will find a way some other day."

With a wave of her hand, Empress Li finally made up her mind.

Nan Gongxi was afraid that Empress Li was just perfunctory to herself, so she said again: "Mother and concubine should recognize the status quo."

After finishing speaking, he stared at Empress Li for a long while before bending down to salute and retreating.

Another ten days passed, and it was rumored in the Hou's residence that the emperor had appointed a new beauty, Ji Meiren.

When he heard about this for the first time, Zhu Zixin was reading a book, put down the book immediately, and said: "The speed is really fast!"

"Isn't that right? I heard that Beauty Ji was selected by the empress for the emperor. The dance was so beautiful that the emperor was immediately fascinated by her, and even praised her for her graceful posture."

Standing behind Zhu Zixin, Xiao Cui told Zhu Zixin what she had heard.

"Oh, really? The prince really has a way. It's really difficult for him to find such a talented and beautiful woman in such a short period of time."

Zhu Zixin had no choice but to admire Nangongxi's efficiency.

"No, this woman was found by the queen mother."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Zixin finished speaking, Nan Gongxi walked in.

Zhu Zixin was half lying on the bed reading a book at that time, when she heard this, she hurriedly sat up straight and wanted to salute when she stood up, but Nan Gongxi had already quickly arrived at her bed, put her hand on her shoulder, and said, "Don't be too polite, You have done me such a great favor, and I have to say thank you to you."

"What kind of busy is this, I just said casually, the only way to solve the real conflict between you and King Ji is to kill the fish."

Zhu Zixin hit the nail on the head.

"what do you mean……"

Nangongxi's eyes rolled a few times in an instant, and her complexion also changed a few times. Finally, she looked into Zhu Zixin's eyes and asked.

"What can I mean? There is only one emperor. If everyone wants to sit on the throne, there will naturally be a fight. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This is the truth everyone knows!"

Zhu Zixin smiled easily.

"You're right! Zixin, sometimes your knowledge is wider than that of a man. I'm really ashamed of myself!"

Nangong Xi said with emotion, after finishing speaking, he leaned over anxiously and sat on the head of her bed.Zhu Zixin always felt that this seemed a little too intimate, so he got up uncomfortably, got out of bed, and sat down at the Eight Immortals table.

"Oh, by the way, the queen mother is already trying to find a way to tell the father that she wants you to divorce the king of Ji. She asked you to wait patiently. It will only be a few days."

Nangongxi suddenly remembered that she came here to tell Zhu Zixin the news, so she said.

"Really?"

Zhu Zixin raised his voice, and then took a sip of the tea that Xiao Cui had just served.It seems that there is not much interest in this matter.

"Zixin, aren't you happy to hear the news?"

Nangong Xi's voice was a little lost, it seemed that her performance was a bit unsatisfactory.

Zhu Zixin hurriedly nodded emphatically, and said, "Happy, happy!" If this matter really succeeded, she would be really happy!It's just that she knows what it means to divorce, so she can't be happy.

Seeing her nodding, Nan Gongxi immediately showed a smile, and said again: "Some day, I will tell my father about your marriage. In this way, we can be together in a legitimate way."

"Pfft...cough...cough...cough..."

Coughing violently, Zhu Zixin almost threw the teacup out.

She really wanted to divorce Prince Ji, but... she really didn't want to be engaged to the prince, alas!
"Then I'll leave first if there's nothing to do! I'll come see you another day!"

Nangong Xi said again.

Zhu Zixin knew that he was really busy, but he came here to tell her about it. It seemed that he really took it seriously.

"Ugh!"

Seeing Nangongxi walk out the door, Zhu Zixin couldn't help but sighed again.

*
Within a few days, news of the triumphant return of Ji Wang Nan Gongxun's army spread throughout the streets and alleys.

The emperor brought the newly-appointed Ji Meiren and ministers to greet him outside the city, and greeted Nan Gongxun back in a mighty manner, so majestic!
Zhu Zixin just laughed it off, and said to the silly Xiaocui: "It seems that there will be a fight in the palace!"

Xiaocui heard the words and asked, "Who is fighting whom?"

"Naturally, those women in the harem!"

Zhu Zixin laughed.

"Oh!"

Xiao Cui seemed to understand but half understood, and said again: "What's so aggressive about being well-clothed and well-fed?"

After finishing speaking, he went to busy with the work at hand.

But Zhu Zixin fell into deep thought, yes, what is there to be aggressive about being well-clothed and well-fed?

But it's just for the man, for the man's favor.Woman, I have been trapped by love all my life, and I can't see it!If you look away, you are trapped by money and power!Can't think about it!
She didn't want to, never want to live like this.Zhu Zixin secretly made a decision in his heart.

*
The emperor's harem, regardless of the dynasty or generation, is like a sea. No matter how calm the surface is, there are dark tides and turbulent inside.

No, on this day, when Nan Gongxun came back from a victorious battle, the day when Concubine Ying felt proud had arrived, she had already dressed herself up in fancy dress, and was only waiting for the emperor to announce the lifting of the ban.

However, she waited from morning to night, but she never got the edict.Even his own son, who he thought would be the first to meet him in Chiyang Palace, didn't even see his shadow.

It wasn't until the third day that Concubine Ying heard that the emperor had accepted a beautiful lady Ji a few days ago, and had long since forgotten himself. As soon as his son Nan Gongxun came back, he was surrounded by these ministers and princes and went to the capital. Celebrating in the most prosperous Yuelai Restaurant!It was either this treat or that treat for several days in a row, and up to now I still haven't been able to find time to see her.

"Forget about me, forget about me!"

When she heard about this, Concubine Ying still hoped that the emperor would come,

Only now did I know that the emperor has a new love!When she heard Lu Yi tell her about this, she was stunned for a moment!After a while, he finally murmured.

"My concubine, you don't have to be so sad. In fact, His Royal Highness Ji Wang can't get away. When he is free, he will definitely come to see you. If you go to court, I believe that King Ji will naturally intercede for you in front of the emperor." Yes. Besides, the emperor loves you a lot, so how could he forget you so quickly? It must be the new Ji Meiren who has been pestering you all day long. Your Majesty, it's why he can't spare time to see you, you must think about it."

Seeing the imperial concubine like this, the green clothes couldn't help being relieved.

"Hmph, why is it that only the newcomers laugh, but who hears the old ones cry? This palace also understands the truth. Before, the emperor also accepted some beauties, Zhaoyi, concubines, and concubines? But the result? It’s not a few days before he came to this palace, but this time, he actually forgot about this beauty Ji! Who is this beauty Ji? Why has this palace never heard of it before? Pass?"

With a sneer, the sadness in Concubine Ying's heart spread again, however, as if remembering something, she asked again.

"My servant heard that Ji Meiren was originally from the country of Zero, and she danced very well. The queen has always kept her by her side. This time, it seems that the queen dedicated her to the emperor."

Green Yi told Concubine Ying all the news she heard.

"Empress? She actually...she doesn't mind multiple people competing with her? What is her purpose?"

Concubine Ying frowned, at this moment, she forgot to be sad, and a trace of uneasiness filled her heart.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly stood up, walked two steps, sat down in front of the chair again, and said: "It seems that she has only one purpose for doing this, and that is to deal with this palace! It will be so!"

"Ah! Your Majesty, what should I do?"

When Lvyi heard this, she panicked and asked.

"Hmph, now, the only hope of this palace is my emperor's son!"

Concubine Ying lost her temper in an instant, and said sadly.

"Imperial concubine, then, do you want this servant to find a way to go out of the palace and tell His Royal Highness King Ji about your empress' situation?"

Lvyi said urgently.

"no need!"

Shaking her head slowly, Concubine Ying said with a sad face, "I believe that if Xun'er knew about this, he would definitely come to save me. If you go out of the palace and are caught, wouldn't you Killed my prince!"

"This……"

After listening to Concubine Ying's words, Lu Yi realized just how reckless she was. The empress must have taken precautions against Concubine Ying for doing such a thing. How could she have the chance to leave the palace?

Another day passed like this, and on the second day, Nan Gongxun woke up, rubbed his temples, and lay down on the bed for a while, then sat up lazily, thought for a long time, suddenly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, hurriedly rush out.

Ever since he came back from the battlefield, the emperor rewarded him in the Golden Luan Hall and gave him a lot of gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, and some rare treasures. He was dragged by these ministers and princes to eat and drink After a few days, he originally thought that he had made great achievements, and his status in the eyes of his father and king was naturally no better than before. He wanted to take this opportunity to win over some ministers, so he held back and wanted to go to the palace immediately to find his mother and concubine. The idea, but to socialize for a few days first.At this moment, when he thought of his mother and concubine, he couldn't wait to go to Chiyang Palace.

"My lady, my lady, His Royal Highness Ji Wang is here! His Royal Highness Ji Wang is here, he is here to see you!"

Early in the morning, Lvyi rushed in from the outside, beaming and said to the noble concubine.

"Ah! Really? My Xun'er is here?"

Hearing this news, Concubine Ying, who was still sluggish just now, suddenly regained her spirits. She hurriedly adjusted her appearance in the mirror, and then hurriedly left the gate of Chiyang Palace.

Since the ban had not been lifted, she could not go out, and naturally Nan Gongxun could not come in either.

"Xun'er, my Xun'er..."

Concubine Ying rushed to the door, and saw Nan Gongxun standing outside the door at a glance. Seeing him, she ran two steps forward, but she was blocked by the guards at the door.

"Xun'er, you're finally back! You don't know how much Concubine Mu is worried about you! Just come back, just come back!"

Concubine Ying said with a smile while wiping her tears.

"Mother Concubine, I'm fine, I'm just worried about Mother Concubine. Don't worry, Mother Concubine, I will come to see Mother Concubine first, and when I go to court, I will immediately ask Father Emperor to release your ban. In this way, Our mother and son can be reunited!"

Nan Gongxun frowned slightly on his rarely expressive face, and said in a hoarse voice.

"Well, my concubine knows that my Xun'er is the most filial."

Concubine Ying said with a smile, but the tears could not be stopped no matter what.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she turned her head to Lv Yi and said, "Quick, hurry up and get the snacks I prepared for Xun'er."

Lvyi bowed and hurried away.

Concubine Ying turned her head to Nan Gongxun and said, "That's bean paste cake made by my concubine herself, your favorite! These few days, concubine mother makes it every day, just waiting for you to eat it."

"Well, my son must eat more."

Nan Gongxun also comforted Concubine Ying.

After Lvyi brought the bean paste cake, Concubine Ying held it in both hands and handed it to the door. Nan Gongxun took one and put it in his mouth, chewed it, and said: "Mmm, it's delicious, mother The bean paste cake made by my concubine is the best in the world."

"Xun'er!"

Concubine Ying wiped her tears, and said to Nan Gongxun: "It's getting late, you go, don't forget to ask your father for mercy!"

"Well, the minister has gone there!"

Nan Gongxun swallowed a mouthful of bean paste cake and said.

"Go..."

Caressing the fence, Concubine Ying waved her hand.
