Fuji [Four Beauties]

Song Ci stood obediently behind Mrs. Goujian. Mrs. Goujian paid a visit, and she followed her.She lowered her head so low that she didn't seem to feel the hostile gazes coming from all directions.

Queen Wu's eyes stayed on Song Ci all the time, and she didn't care much about what Mrs. Goujian said.Because that vixen is so beautiful, with that appearance, the legendary Baosi and Daji are no more than that.

If the king really brought her into the palace, what place would she have in the harem?As a result, Queen Wu felt an unprecedented crisis.

Mrs. Goujian also noticed that Queen Wu's mood fluctuated.Also as a woman, her husband is also very lustful, so of course she sympathizes with Queen Wu's feelings.It's a pity that their positions are different now, she must help Xi Shi to complete the plan of Yue Guo.

"This is Miss Xishi, who came to the Kingdom of Wu with her courtier's wife. Miss Xishi has a gentle personality and is very filial to her parents. Unfortunately, her parents died of illness a few years ago. Miss Xishi is determined to mourn for her parents for six years to show her filial piety. In [-], her filial piety was well-known in the country of Yue. After I heard about it, I went to Zhuluo Village, the hometown of Xi Shi, to meet her. At first sight, I hit it off very well. Xi Shi is not only pure and filial in heart, but also proficient in weaving. She weaves The yarn is even and fine, as thin as nothing. So, my wife asked her to help me and teach the villagers weaving and spinning skills. This time when I came to visit the queen, my wife specially selected dozens of pieces, and my wife wove them by herself. Dedicate the fine yarn to the queen." Speaking of Mrs. Goujian, she turned her head and gestured to Song Ci.

Song Ci and the people who came with them walked forward holding the cloth, and someone came to take the yarn from their hands.Queen Wu didn't even look at it, she waved her hand casually and asked someone to take it down.How could she care to look at this thing now?

"I came here this time to greet the Queen, and to ask the Queen's permission to let the minister's wife mourn for the Queen Mother to show her grief and filial piety. The minister's wife is willing to accompany the Queen Mother's spirit day and night, and I hope the Queen Mother will give you permission .”

Upon hearing this, Queen Wu sneered in her heart.She said why Goujian's wife took the initiative to come to the palace to see her, she was waiting here, she really thought she was a fool.If Mrs. Goujian was asked to watch the spirit, the vixen would have to follow.They are not guarding the spirit at all, they are simply guarding the king, who wants to take the opportunity to seduce the king who is going to pay homage every day.

Queen Wu said in a lukewarm voice: "Ma'am, you are interested. However, as the Queen Mother of Wu, it is my duty to guard the spirit of the Empress Dowager, so I won't bother you."

"The Queen's benevolence and filial piety are the blessings of the Wu Kingdom, and the minister deeply admires them. Since this is the case, the minister is willing to lead the Yue Kingdom Mission to pay homage to the Empress Dowager."

Queen Wu sneered again in her heart, and tried another trick if it failed.No matter what, you all want to go to the Empress Dowager, how can this Palace let you do so?

"The empress dowager's mourning hall is located at the gate of the outer palace. It is the outer mourning hall, where the officials worship. Madam is the wife of the king, so it is inconvenient to meet Wu foreign ministers. There is also the empress dowager's mourning hall in the palace for the concubines in the palace. Worship. Madam has this intention, so you can go with me to worship."

When Queen Wu talked about this, Mrs. Goujian had nothing to say.She wanted to take this opportunity to create an opportunity for Xi Shi to get in touch with Fu Chai.It's a pity that the queen of Wu saw through it, and this plan failed.

Seeing Mrs. Goujian's repeated defeats, Song Ci's heart did not fluctuate.She quietly followed Mrs. Goujian, and went with the queen of Wu to the empress dowager's mourning hall in the palace.Along the way, Song Ci lowered his head, seemingly not looking sideways, but secretly observing the situation in the palace.

Different from the State of Yue, the State of Wu, which was very powerful at this time, had huge and magnificent palaces and a magnificent atmosphere.Song Ci once heard a saying that even all the buildings including Gusu City were built under the supervision of Wu Zixu.Wu Zixu was skilled in wind and water, and the capital he built was quite like a royal capital.Now it seems that Wu Wang's palace is indeed very extraordinary.

The Empress Dowager's mourning hall is located in the palace far away from the bedroom where the queen lives.It takes half an hour to drive there from the palace where the queen lives.As a show of kindness, Queen Wu invited Mrs. Goujian to take the same car with her, and the others took other cars.

This is exactly what Song Ci wanted.After getting into the car, Song Ci cautiously peeked at the terrain of the palace through the gap in the car curtain.Of course she has no plans to break into the palace at night, she doesn't have that ability yet.Even if there is, there is no need to break into the palace.However, Song Ci's current situation is not optimistic. She must grasp as much information as possible, which may come in handy someday.

It was during the national mourning period in the state of Wu, and the palace was filled with solemnity.The expressions of the palace people who came and went were very solemn, and they did not dare to show the slightest expression of laughter.Even Song Ci, who was sitting in the carriage, felt a very heavy sense of depression.The palace is really not a place for people to stay, Song Ci couldn't help sighing.

Soon, they arrived at the mourning hall of the Queen Mother, and Queen Wu led Mrs. Goujian in to worship.According to the rules, Song Ci and the others are not qualified to enter the mourning hall, they can only salute outside.When he got here, Song Ci suddenly discovered a bug in his plan.No, it should be said that it is a blind spot of my own knowledge.

Song Ci didn't know much about the etiquette system of this era.Before she said that she would guard the spirit of the queen mother, according to the concept of dignity and inferiority of people in this era, it was an unrealistic idea.The queen mother's spirit cannot be guarded by anyone who wants to guard it.Even those who just sweep in front of the Mausoleum of the Empress Dowager must be carefully selected.It is impossible to send someone who is not a person with a clean family background, a reliable identity, and a lot of trust.

Realizing his own bug, Song Ci immediately concluded that this road was impracticable, and it was impossible to escape Gusu through this.

Song Ci immediately had another question. She didn't realize the ancient etiquette of respect and inferiority, but it didn't mean Wu Zixu didn't know it.Why didn't he refute this when he met Wu Zixu yesterday?Was he too angry to forget?

Song Ci, who was standing outside the mourning hall, was thinking in his heart while following the crowd to salute.Or, what she didn't know was ignored by herself.

Soon, Queen Wu and Mrs. Goujian came out of the mourning hall.Song Ci temporarily put away his wild thoughts and followed them into the car.

In the car, Mrs. Goujian said to Queen Wu again: "The queen works hard day and night in the palace. It is very hard. The ministers are willing to serve the queen in the palace and serve tea and water for the queen. I hope the queen will not despise the vulgarity of the ministers."

"Impossible, madam is the king's wife, how can she be a slave?"

"In the past, my husband Gou Jian was a servant of the king, serving him day and night. As the wife of Gou Jian, I should follow suit."

"Today is different from the past. Now Yue is my subject of Wu, and my wife is also a subject of my Wu. Ministers are not slaves, so they should not be confused."

Seeing that Queen Wu refused again and again, Mrs. Goujian said: "In this case, please let Xishi serve the queen instead of my wife. Xishi is a citizen of our country of Yue, that is, a person of Wu. It is only natural for her to serve the queen. of."

After going around for a long time, I came back to the topic again, Queen Wu sneered in her heart.There was no way to get that vixen to the mourning hall, so he wanted to get it by my side.You want to seduce the king right under my nose, stop dreaming.

"Miss Xishi is deeply loved by his wife, and she followed her to the country of Wu. How can I take away my wife's love because of my own selfishness. I will accept the cloth sent by my wife. My wife's heart is my own. Madam Gong received it, Madam will stay in Gusu City with peace of mind, don’t need to think about it. Presumably Madam is also tired, so you don’t have to accompany me, go back and rest.” Not wanting to listen to Madam Goujian’s sweet words, Queen Wu stepped down Eviction order.

Mrs. Goujian took the gift from the Queen of Wu and left the palace angrily.

Back at the Yue embassy, ​​Mrs. Goujian, who had returned in vain, said helplessly, "The queen of Wu has seen through our scheme and won't give us a chance. So, how can Miss Xishi get close to Fucha?"

"Madam Jun, don't worry. Although things didn't go as we imagined, they didn't go bad. Queen Wu didn't give us a good face today because Madam Jun took me and wanted to push me to Her. Now that she has seen through it, then we will change our strategy. From tomorrow on, Madam Jun must go to the palace to pay her respects every day. Of course, you can’t take me with you in the future. With me, no matter how much Madam Jun pleases her, She won't give Mrs. Jun a good look. As long as she doesn't take me there and flatters her, there is always a chance to curry favor with her. "

"But in this way, how can Miss Xi Shi get close to Fu Chai?"

"Don't worry, Mrs. Fan, Doctor Fan has passed on my strategy. You only need to find someone, and that person is Bo Chu, Dazai of the Wu Kingdom. Bo Chu has always tried every means to curry favor with Fu Chai. As long as you find him, he will be happy to use me to curry favor Fucha, I don’t worry about having a chance to get close to Fucha. However, Dr. Fan told us that we have just come to Gusu City, so we can’t act rashly for now, and we have to wait and see for a while to gain a firm foothold. In the future, we will slowly find a way to contact Uncle Dazai. It's too hasty."

Song Ci's words made Mrs. Goujian see hope.Things have come to this point, and we can only take one step at a time.

Mrs. Goujian breathed a sigh of relief, Song Ci was not feeling well.All day long, I have to find ways to make up all kinds of rhetoric to stabilize Mrs. Goujian.Seeing Mrs. Goujian's happy face, Song Ci really couldn't be happier, this kind of deceitful feeling is not good.However, in any case, her goal was achieved.After successfully entering the Wu Palace, Mrs. Goujian's attention was shifted to Queen Wu.I also accidentally discovered a loophole in my plan, which is relatively satisfactory.

Now, the plan has taken the first step, all Song Ci has to do is wait.

The hard work paid off, and after a few days, Song Ci finally got the news he wanted:

The palace of the king of Wu was haunted, and the ghost of the queen mother appeared in the palace, causing panic in the palace.
