Yue Wang Gou Jian

"Your Majesty, it's not an option to procrastinate like this. You'd better go and see the queen. After all, the queen is the princess of Qi. Even if you don't like it, you still need some face from King Qi."

In the Hall of Qinzheng, Wen Zhong earnestly persuaded Yue King Gou Jiandao.

Gou Jian looked at the stack of thick memorials on those cases, all of them were as admonished by Wen Zhong, Gou Jian rubbed his brows helplessly, and said to Wen Zhong:

"Uncle, must it be like this?"

"Your majesty has never been a willful person, I believe you will make the right decision. And Queen Yayu is dignified and virtuous, with a good appearance. She has only been here in the Yue Palace for a few days, and everyone in the Yue Palace praised her greatly. "

"Oh, really?"

Gou Jian thought for a while after hearing Wen Zhong's words, and suddenly remembered something, looked at Wen Zhong and said:

"General Fan has been sick for a week, he is fine."

"Wei Chen went to see him once, he should be fine, but seeing him frowning, I guess it must be a heart disease."

"Heart disease?"

Gou Jian suddenly remembered what he heard from the palace people that day, could it be that Fan Li, who had never been close to women, was so charming with a sword, and Fan Tianya finally fell in love with Hong Luan, and fell in love with the queen's maid, A Xiang.

Goujian was thinking, and suddenly there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, and he said to Liansheng who was waiting beside him:

"Liansheng, drive to Qifeng Pavilion at night."

……

Qifeng Pavilion is brightly lit, and there are music and music everywhere.

Knowing the arrival of King Yue, Echigo Yayu made elaborate arrangements from singing and dancing to food.

"Your Majesty, try this vinegared Yellow River carp."

Echihou Yayu took a piece of fish and wanted to put it in King Yue's bowl, but Goujian stopped him and said:

"Eat the queen, the widow will come by himself."

The whole night, Queen Yayu was busy serving food for Yue King Goujian, which made Goujian feel very uncomfortable.Although he is the second prince of the Yue Kingdom, Gou Jian has not been favored since he was a child, and even the maids and servants have never paid him much attention, let alone let others serve him for dinner.

"I didn't expect that apart from the strong soldiers and horses of the Qi Kingdom, this delicious food is also remarkable."

Gou Jian admired the dishes of the State of Qi made by the queen himself while savoring carefully.

"If the king likes it, my concubine will do it for you every day."

Seeing that the dishes she made were praised by King Yue, Echigo Yayu showed a happy expression.

But Gou Jian was suddenly stunned, and a scene from more than ten years ago suddenly came to mind.

……

"Mother, this dish is delicious."

"If Su Zhi likes it, my concubine will make it for you every day."

……

At that time, the mother was still the concubine of King Yue, and she was not crazy at that time.For many years, he wanted to hear such words from his mother again, but it was already an unattainable luxury.

However, today, he heard this sentence from another woman.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing King Yue's abnormal expression, Ya Yu asked with concern.

Gou Jian regained his composure, looked at Ya Yu, and saw that she had just passed the age of Jin, with a naive and romantic face, thinking that it was not easy for her to leave her hometown and marry a distant country.And these days, even though she deliberately neglected her, not only did she not feel annoyed at all, but she would go to Qinzheng Hall as soon as dawn every day to greet her and give her food.Unable to move slightly in his heart, he smiled faintly at her and said:

"It's nothing, is Echigo still used to being in the palace?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, my concubine is fine..."

As Ya Yu said, she held up the cup and smiled faintly at King Yue:

"This glass of wine, my concubine respects the king."

After drinking for three rounds, Gou Jian was a little tipsy, Ya Yu ordered the dancers to leave the hall, only Gou Jian and Ya Yu were left in the empty hall.

"Queen, why don't you see your personal maid, Ah Xiang?"

Hearing Gou Jian's sudden question, Ya Yu's heart skipped a beat, maybe he discovered something.

"Ah Xiang, she...uh...she accidentally hurt her foot today, so my concubine asked her to go back to her room earlier to rest."

"Oh, so that's the case. The queen is indeed as tolerant and considerate as the palace people said. But there is one thing that needs to be agreed by the queen."

"Your Majesty has betrayed your ministers and concubines. If you want anything your Majesty wants, you can just say it. How can you not agree to it?"

"The widow wants to be a matchmaker for General Fan and Ah Xiang. I wonder if the queen agrees?"

"what?"

Ya Yu's delicate body was startled suddenly, and the wine glass in her hand almost fell to the ground. She never expected that Gou Jian would make such a request, but once Si Xi showed up, everything would be ruined, but if she refused Gou Jian at this time, Then all the planning tonight will be in vain.

"What's the matter, is there any embarrassment for the queen?"

Seeing that Ya Yu looked a little strange, Gou Jian asked.

"No...it's nothing... Ah Xiang's marriage to General Fan is a blessing she has cultivated for several lifetimes. Yayu thanked the king on behalf of Ah Xiang."

Ya Yu offered another glass of wine to Gou Jian.

……

"What night is it tonight, the boat is in the middle of the boat..."

"What day is it today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince..."

"Being ashamed is good, don't be ashamed..."

"I'm so annoyed, I've learned that the prince..."

"Mountains have trees and trees have branches..."

"My heart pleases you, you don't know..."

I saw Fu Chai wearing a blue robe inlaid with gold thread, and holding a folding fan, walking slowly from a distance. The wind blew gently, and his clothes rolled. The gods descended to earth.

Gradually, Fu Chai's face became clearer and clearer. His eyes as deep as a pool of water, his straight nose, and his sword eyebrows that slanted into his temples all looked familiar.

He stood in front of him, leaned forward slightly, slowly stretched out his left hand, and made an inviting gesture:

"Suzhi, let's give up this world. From now on, the two of us will retreat to the mountains and forests, cook wine and taste tea, and travel hand in hand, how about it?"

The blue silk on his shoulders danced with the wind, the corners of Fu Chai's lips were slightly raised, his smile was as warm as spring, but his deep eyes were like the whirlpool in the deep sea, almost swallowing people's souls.

Gou Jian just stared at it like this, and couldn't help raising his hand to hold the hand that Fu Chai stretched out to him.He looked up at Fucha, with two sparkles in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice:

"it is good!"

At this moment, Gou Jian only felt a pain in his chest, and looked down, only to see that the dagger had already sunk into his heart.

Heartache, it really hurts!

I saw Fu Chai's handsome face gradually distorted, and a voice that was so cold that there was almost no warmth rang in my ears:

"You killed my royal father, today I will kill you to pay for my royal father... die..."

The handle of the dagger stuck in his heart was turned suddenly by Fu Chai, and Gou Jian felt that his whole heart was about to be crushed, and he couldn't breathe due to the pain.

"Um……"

Gou Jian's eyes flicked open, but he saw a bright red in front of him, a red tent, a red quilt, and a woman wrapped in red pajamas.

"Your Majesty, you are awake!"

Ya Yu was wearing loose pajamas, with her hair loose, sitting on the edge of the bed, seeing Gou Jian wake up, her face was three parts joyful and seven parts shy.

Gou Jian seemed to have not recovered from the dream, and felt a severe pain in his heart. Seeing Ya Yu's enlarged face on top of his head, he was startled, sat up from the bed, looked around, asked coldly:

"This is where?"

"Your Majesty, this is the Fengfeng Pavilion."

"Xifeng Pavilion? Last night, I..."

Gou Jian stroked his forehead, feeling a little dizzy, and seemed unable to remember some things.

"Last night, Your Majesty... Your Majesty is good or bad..."

Ya Yu's big watery eyes looked at Gou Jian affectionately, and then looked away, revealing a shy face.

"I……"

Gou Jian tried his best to recall what happened last night, what happened after he was drunk, but he couldn't remember anything, he glanced at Ya Yu's slightly open neckline from the corner of his eye, the looming traces of love had already explained everything.

Unexpectedly, I did that to her last night.

"Sorry……"

Gou Jian suddenly looked at Ya Yu and said.

"The concubines are the king's people. Serving the king is the duty of the concubines. The king's words like this are depressing the concubines."

Ya Yu lowered her head and said shyly.

Only then did Gou Jian realize that the woman in front of him was already the queen he was marrying.

After the wedding, he had never been to the queen, and the government and the public were quite critical. Although he came to Qifeng Pavilion last night after hearing Wen Zhong's words, he was not prepared at all.Who would have thought that after drinking, she would become sexually indiscriminate and have a consummation with the queen in a daze. In this way, she could silence all the people in the court.

However, Gou Jian didn't know how to face Ya Yu for a while, so he hurriedly put on his clothes, walked out the door and said to Ya Yu:

"It's still early for the widow to go to the Palace of Qinzheng to deal with official duties. The queen should rest first."

……

In the Hall of Qinzheng, all the ministers stood in front of the book case of Goujian, king of Yue, with serious expressions.

At this time, the Yangtze River was flooded, and several villages and towns around the Yangtze River in Yue State were flooded, and the people were displaced.Appeasement of the refugees is a top priority, but the ministers have different opinions on where the funds for disaster relief will come from.

"Your Majesty, I feel that we can add three levels of taxes to villages and towns that have not been affected by the disaster, and use it for disaster relief."

The senior doctor Jie Zixiu said.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not! A king is like a boat, and the hearts of the people are like water. Water can carry a boat or overturn it. When a king first ascends the throne, he should put the well-being of the people of the world first. Security situation."

The doctor's language is admonishing.

"Master Wenzhong is right."

"It is not advisable to use exorbitant taxes and taxes to relieve the victims, if there is drinking poison to quench thirst."

Ministers have supported Wen Zhongdao.

"Doctor Wen Zhong, is it too serious? This disaster relief is intended to stabilize the hearts of the people. How can there be a saying that it is against the hearts of the people?"

The senior doctor Jie Zixiu said.

"Your Majesty, the refugees are in urgent need of appeasement, but taxes should not be raised lightly. In my humble opinion, it is better to make the king's list known to the world, and then order the people to pay millet, bestow titles below the middle doctor, and determine their positions by the amount of money donated. That's it It can solve the emergency of the Yangtze River flood, and it can also solve the danger of no one in the court."

Fan Li stepped forward and said.

"General Fan's method is wonderful..."

Wen Zhong and the rest of the officials nodded.

"But Your Majesty..."

Jie Zixiu wanted to say something else, but Gou Jian stopped him and said:

"Jieqing doesn't need to say much, just follow Fan Qing's words and raise money for official positions to relieve the flood disaster of the Yangtze River."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Seeing Liansheng stumbling into Qinzheng Hall, he seemed very happy.

"Liansheng, I want the ministers to discuss important matters. How can you be so reckless?"

Goujian saw that Liansheng had been in the palace for a year, but he still didn't know the etiquette in the court. He thought that he spoiled him too much, so he couldn't help frowning slightly, and scolded him.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is very happy. Just now, Qifeng Pavilion ordered someone to pass on a message, saying that she has just been treated by the imperial physician, and she is already a month pregnant."

Liansheng ignored Gou Jian's scolding at all, ran to Gou Jian and knelt down in a staggered way, with an excited expression on his face.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty..."

When all the ministers heard the good news, they all bent down and knelt down to congratulate, except Fan Li who seemed to be in a daze and stood motionless on the spot.

Seeing this, Wen Zhong hastily tugged at the corner of Fan Li's clothes, and Fan Li finally came to his senses, and knelt down together with all the officials.

The one who reacted slower than Fan Li was their Wang Goujian.When he heard the good news reported by Liansheng, his head buzzed and suddenly went blank.After a short period of blankness, thousands of thoughts came rushing in like a tide.

Apart from being drunk that night, I never went to Qifeng Pavilion again, but I never thought that the queen would be pregnant with my child.That was his own child.

He thought that he would never have the blessing to have a child in this life, but the heavens took pity on him and gave him one.What virtue and what can I do in this life, I am so favored by God.

After a long silence, Gou Jian finally came to his senses, and said to Lian Sheng in an uncontrollable excited voice:

"Show the Qifeng Pavilion!"

……

"General Fan, are you okay?"

When the ministers left the Hall of Qinzheng, Ling Gufu suddenly noticed Fan Li's pale face, looking lost.

"I...it's fine..."

Fan Li raised the corners of his lips slightly, pulling out a bitter smile.

"Looking at your pale face, could it be that you have not recovered from the wind-cold disease?"

Ling Gufu looked at Fan Lidao with a probing look.

"Maybe, just take some medicine."

He was already upset at this moment, and he was not in the mood to respond to Ling Gufu's concern at all, so he cupped his fists at him and said:

"Thank you General Gufu for your concern, I will take my leave first."

"Master Wenzhong, is General Fan alright?"

Looking at Fan Li's back as he drifted away, Ling Gufu asked Wen Zhongdao who was standing beside him with a puzzled face.

"I'm afraid that General Fan has a heart disease, and the person who untied the bell has to tie it..."

Wen Zhong shook his head, sighed, with a secretive expression on his face, but Ling Gufu was confused and confused.

……

Oh... have a baby...

His king finally had a child.

The child must have looked as beautiful as his king.High nose bridge, slender eyebrows, androgynous face, and feather-like eyelashes fluttering gently with the wind.

As long as he thought of this face, Fan Li's heartbeat would speed up uncontrollably.

She once naively thought that even if she couldn't have this person for a lifetime, as long as she was by his side as Fan Li, watching him, guarding him, mourning what he mourned, and enjoying what he liked, that would be enough.

But why is his heart so painful?Is he jealous of the woman in Qifeng Pavilion and the child in her womb that belongs to the person he loves?

"Bastard, can you grow eyes when you walk?"

Suddenly, I heard an angry scolding in my ear, looking for the reputation, I saw Jie Zixiu yelling at a woman dressed as a maid.The maid turned her back to him, Fan Li couldn't see her face, but seeing her bent down and bowed again and again, it was obvious that she kept apologizing to Jie Zixiu.

"Come here... Pull me down and give me a [-]-big board."

Jie Zixiu kicked the girl away and ordered his followers to say.

"On the matter of disaster relief in the court, all the ministers overwhelmingly supported Mr. Wen Zhong. I'm afraid that Jie Zixiu is worried about it. This girl is really unlucky, but she just bumped into his anger."

Thinking about it, Fan Li secretly sympathized with the girl, and was about to step forward to rescue her, but saw the Queen Mother of Qifeng Pavilion running over in a hurry, and said to Jie Zixiu:

"Master Jie, the girl doesn't have eyes when she walks, so she bumped into you, how offended, I hope you have a lot of adults, and spare the little girl this time."

Wang Momo is a popular person around the queen recently, of course Jie Zixiu knows the seriousness, but a person as favored as Wang Momo came here to intercede for a little girl, Jie Zixiu was curious for a while, and said:

"As we all know, the palace servants who come out from Mama are the best, why did such a rude girl come out today, not to mention bumping into me, not even saying an apology, I can see it today Let her off for the sake of face, but she has to be brought back to be disciplined. It's fine if you offend me. If one day you accidentally offend the emperor, I'm afraid that your life will be lost, mommy... "

"Master Jie's lesson is that Ah Xiang is the queen's dowry girl, she is new here, she has not yet learned some etiquette, and she is a dumb girl, just now she also wanted to apologize to the Lord, but she couldn't say anything."

Grandma Wang said.

"It turned out to be a mute, no wonder."

Jie Zixiu glanced at Ah Xiang, muttered, then winked at his entourage and said:

"Even so, let her go."

Wang Momo pulled Ah Xiang over, thanked Jie Zixiu, and then led Ah Xiang towards Xifeng Pavilion.

Looking at the backs of Wang Momo and A Xiang going away, Jie Zixiu's expression became gloomy. The ministers in the court bullied him, but he didn't expect that even the palace people looked down on him. Could it be that without the support of the first queen, Did he really only end up being bullied?

At this time, Jie Zixiu suddenly noticed that there was an extra note in his hand. When he opened it, he saw that it read:

"At midnight tonight, let's talk about Fengfeng Pavilion. Xiaoxi!"

Jie Zixiu opened his eyes wide, as if he was frozen.

Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, could it be that he is back?

Jie Zixiu shuddered violently, looked around, saw no one was around, put the note in his mouth quickly, and swallowed it alive.

……

"Master Fan, so you are really here."

There was a sudden call in his ear, and Fan Li turned his head, only to see Lian Sheng standing not far away, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Just now when he learned that the girl who bumped into Jie Zixiu was the queen's dowry maid, A Xiang, he couldn't help being curious, so he followed Mother Wang and A Xiang all the way, and unknowingly, he arrived outside Qifeng Pavilion.

What he saw that night was obviously the King of Yue, but the next day there were rumors in the palace that he wanted to do something wrong with the queen's maid Axiang, and Fan Li was confused for a while.The face of the King of Yue has already been burned into his brain, engraved in his heart, and he can't get rid of it. Even if he is drunk, he will never recognize the King of Yue, unless the maid named Axiang looks very similar to the King of Yue Goujian.It's a pity that along the way, Ah Xiang kept her back to her, and couldn't see her face at all.

"I searched everywhere for General Fan, but I couldn't find it. Someone in the palace told me that General Fan had taken a fancy to the queen's maid Axiang, and I was afraid that he would come to Qifeng Pavilion at this moment. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect General Fan to come. here."

Seeing Lian Sheng's wicked smile, Fan Li didn't bother to explain to him, he was the King of Yue's attendant, he was looking for him so eagerly, he was afraid that the King of Yue had something important to discuss with him, so he asked Lian Sheng:

"Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"

"General Fan, you are going to be overjoyed. Just now the king issued a decree to marry you and Ah Xiang. You should go to the Palace of Qinzheng to receive the decree and thank you..."

"what!"

Fan Li's whole body shuddered suddenly, he glared at Liansheng, and then hurriedly ran towards the Hall of Qinzheng.

"Running in such a hurry, is General Fan impatient to get married?"

Looking at the back of Fan Li going away, Lian Sheng covered his lips with his hands, showing a wicked smile.

……

"General Fan, you are here."

In the Hall of Qinzheng, Gou Jian was reviewing the memorial, and when he saw Fan Li coming in a hurry, he put down the pen in his hand, stood up, and smiled at him, saying,

"General Fan has worked hard for the country and has reached the age to start a family. The widow has secured a marriage for you. I believe you will like it, General Fan."

"The humble minister only wants to serve the country wholeheartedly, and has no intention of starting a family. I implore the king to take back his order."

Fan Li suddenly knelt down on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed three times to Goujian and said, looking at him.

"Fan Qing, you don't know who I am marrying for you, so you hurriedly refused, I'm afraid you will regret it later."

Gou Jian smiled, stretched out his hand, and prepared to pull Fan Li up.But seeing Fan Li insisting on kneeling on the ground, looking at him with both eyes, he said resolutely:

"Your Majesty, Fan Li has absolutely no regrets. Please take it back, Your Majesty."

Seeing Fan Li's decisive reaction, Gou Jian had no choice but to accept the idea of ​​teasing Fan Li, and said truthfully:

"The widow knows that Fan Qing is interested in the queen's maid, A Xiang, so I specially asked the queen for A Xiang, and gave you as a concubine. Doesn't Fan Qing like it?"

Gou Jian looked at Fan Li, trying to see a happy expression on his face, but to his disappointment, Fan Li didn't.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. This minister has absolutely nothing wrong with Ah Xiang."

Fan Li said.

"But people in the palace are spreading rumors that Fan Qing treated Ah Xiang on the night I got married..."

"Your Majesty, Fan Li already has his own heart, but that person is definitely not Ah Xiang."

Fan Li suddenly interrupted Gou Jian's words, and looked straight at Gou Jian with anger, grievance, anxiety, and some complex emotions that Gou Jian had never understood.

For all these years, Fan Li has always been obedient and gentle. He has never seen Fan Li's expression like this. For some reason, Gou Jian felt a trace of inexplicable fear in his heart.

"Oh, since that's the case, I don't know who Fan Qing wants to belong to. As long as Fan Qing likes it, I will definitely do my best to fulfill it."

"But he... doesn't like me..."

Fan Li raised his head and took a deep look at Gou Jian, then lowered his head and closed his eyes, concealing the slight sadness in his eyes...
