Hearing Ji Jiang's voice outside the main hall of the East Palace, Ji Xie was startled at first, and then turned pale. He really didn't expect that Ji Jiang would be so willful, yelling at such an important occasion, and suddenly felt that his face was shameful. He asked the inner servant

Jia glanced at him, and the latter understood and walked slowly out of the hall.

Zhao Bohu's eyes seemed to sweep across Queen Fanji's calm face unintentionally, and he bowed to King Zhou Yi and said, "Your Majesty, the worship has been completed. May I lead the prince to the study now?"

Yi Wang Ji Xie nodded: "The dog is naughty, so I'll do everything for you, young master!"

Fan Ji watched them leave with loving eyes. The chamberlain Jia bowed into the palace, and Ji Jiang followed behind her gracefully: "I pay my respects to the king, and pay my respects to the queen."

King Yi's voice was very cold: "On such an important formal occasion, how can you behave so loudly and yelling outside?"

Ji Jiang was used to being indulgent in front of the King of Zhou. Suddenly seeing him change his face, he couldn't help but feel at a loss: "I haven't seen the king in the past few days. I really have something important to report to the king!"

"You are the master of thousands of vehicles, and you are responsible for everything. How can you, a palace concubine, just see you whenever you want?" Ji Xie slapped the table, turned to Fan Ji and said, "Queen, it is your duty to train the palace concubine. This matter

I'll leave it to you and teach her the rules."

After saying that, he walked away and Fan Ji whispered to Ji Jiang, who was still lying on the ground: "Raise your head."

Ji Jiang raised his head obediently, his pretty face full of tears, and his eyes full of confusion and stubbornness.

"Don't you understand why the king is so angry today? You were so helpless before, but why do you want to fall out with you today?" Fan Ji asked calmly.

Ji Jiang bit her lip and replied, "Please give me some advice, the queen."

"No matter how much the king favors you, he is still the king and the lord of the world. You call him this in front of his ministers and the prince, and act like a child. How can you be embarrassed by the king? Men are the most honorable, let alone the emperor.

Huh? How he gets along with you in private is your business, but in this hall, in front of the ministers, he is the king first. You must remember this."

"So, when a queen becomes a king, is she a husband or a king?" Ji Jiang's eyes were sharp.

"First the king and his subjects, then the husband and wife." Fan Ji answered without any hesitation. This is what she has been thinking and doing in the past few years. I have said enough today. Perhaps every king's woman will realize this sooner or later.

at this point.

"I've said so much, but I don't know how much you can understand. That's all, I'm tired today. By the way," Fan Ji asked casually, "I haven't asked you why you came to see the king?"

"I------I'm pregnant." Ji Jiang's words were very soft, but to Fan Ji, this sound was no less than a thunder------

After the grand Spring Festival, the spring sowing in the first year of the new king began. In ancient Chinese society, which was based on agriculture, everyone from the king to the common people valued this season. The emperors of Zhou Dynasty had a "registered land system" in all dynasties, that is,

A field was selected on the outskirts of King Hogyeong City, and the emperor would plow the fields himself to show his love for agriculture. Important ministers and princes below the emperor also took turns going to the fields to show off their agricultural skills. The queen could not be idle either, and had to stay near her home fields.

He led a group of women, both inside and outside, to pick mulberry trees to show the meaning of "men plowing and women weaving".

Fan Ji is wearing a silk skirt today, with a piece of coarse cloth wrapped around his head.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The scarf is no different from that of ordinary civilian women. Yiji and Naoyangsi are also like her. But Meng Jiang and Ju Ying are different. They are dressed in satin and cotton embroidered skirts, with beads on their heads surrounded by emerald green, but they are not

In response to the situation, in the wild, either the weeds caught the hem of the skirt, or the hairpin ring was caught on the branches, which was very embarrassing. Since Ji Jiang became pregnant, the two of them finally got the opportunity to sleep together. They wanted to take this opportunity to participate in the "Ji Tian"

"The opportunity of the ceremony attracted the attention of King Zhou Yi, but it was self-defeating.

After facing the palace wall and the willows all day, Fanji was finally able to leave the palace today. Facing the green water and green mountains in front of him, Fanji was in a good mood. He kept talking to his son Ji Hu.

"Hu'er, how well did the young master teach you?"

"Okay." Ji Hu replied without thinking: "Young Master tells a short story every day. It's very interesting! It's much more beautiful than what is written in the book!"

"That's good. The young master is a capable person. In terms of seniority, he is still your uncle! You must learn your skills from him and don't be naughty!"

It was said that Cao Cao had arrived. As he was talking, Zhao Bohu walked up slowly from the bottom of the hill and saluted Fan Ji directly. He noticed that the queen's dress was different from the past. Although she was dressed in cloth, she looked like water from a canal.

The pearl was in the box, and he praised: "The strange king is wearing short clothes today. He originally agreed with the queen. Unfortunately for us ministers, the long clothes and long sleeves are too bulky and tight."

Fan Ji said with a smile: "Young master, you are overrated. The ancients created the emperor's land system, not for show, but to let the king experience the hardships of farming and how difficult people's livelihood is. My husband and I are the parents of the world, and the people regard them as parents.

Food is your top priority, so you must cultivate it yourself and practice it with your own body.”

"It is indeed a blessing for the people to have such a wise king and a wise queen in the Great Zhou Dynasty." Zhao Bohu paid homage to Jishou again.

"Master, what's the matter with coming up?"

"The king wants the prince to go plow the fields and set an example for the officials and the people."

"Although Hu'er is still young, he should be like this." Fan Ji took off the mulberry leaf basket from Ji Hu's back, leaned over and gave his son a few words, and then he was relieved and allowed him to follow Zhao Bohu down the mountain.

Nuanyangsi held the basket of mulberry leaves and watched the two people leave. She said with deep emotion: "Your Majesty, the prince has become more and more sensible and courteous since he became a disciple of Mr. Zhao."

"Zhaozi Mu's reputation as a wise man has spread all over the world. My son has him as his assistant, so why should I worry?"

"Despite this, the queen should not take it lightly." Naoyangsi looked serious: "Concubine Ji is already four months pregnant, and it seems that she is pregnant with a boy. The king loves her so much that he not only keeps giving her rewards, but also exempts her.

The ritual of paying homage to the central palace now does not even include grand ceremonies such as "Jitian". I heard that Jihou was not very comfortable in the east. He was busy connecting with surrounding princes and seemed to want to expand his territory. The queen had to guard against it.

ah!"

"How are you doing?" Fan Ji asked.

"In my opinion, it's better to strike first before the child is born ------"

"Shut up!" Fan Ji shouted: "How can I be so innocent? What's more, that's my bloodline with the surname Ji, Hu'er's brother, how could he have such a despicable plot? Stop this idea as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Naoyangsi's whole body felt cold, and she quickly lowered her head and replied: "No! I made a mistake. I also think about the queen and the prince------"

Fan Ji sighed softly: "That's all, the so-called 'swallow's passage leaves traces', everything in the world can't be contained, unless it is not done. Although Ji Jiang is favored, the king's woman is like this spring flower blooming.

How can there be an invincible one even if there is a problem? Let her go. As long as my son, the crown prince, is as stable as Mount Tai, he will pamper whoever he likes and give birth to as many princes as he likes."

The Emperor's "Residence Field" Ceremony is the most important event in spring. Countless people in Haojing City rushed out of the city to watch. The streets in the city seemed much empty for a while, especially at the South City Gate. No one noticed that a horse

The fast horse was rushing from the palace to the countryside. The rider on the horse was dressed in the uniform of a messenger and carried a bamboo tube specially used by the Zhou royal family to deliver urgent messages.

On the outskirts of Haojing, by the Fengshui River, King Ji Xie of Zhou Yi was teaching Prince Ji Hu step by step how to use a rake to turn the ground: "The ground should be as deep as possible, so that the ground can be turned deep -------"

Little Ji Hu's face was covered with sweat, and she looked up at her father in admiration: "Father, it's amazing that you can do such a good job!"

King Zhou Yi laughed loudly: "Your grandfather taught the lonely king step by step like this back then. Hu'er, you are much better than your father back then!"

The king of Zhou and his son were a kind father and a filial son, and they were enjoying themselves happily. The ministers on the side also stroked their beards and smiled, and they were in harmony. But at this time, someone came to spoil the fun.

Zhou Gongding held a bamboo tube in his hand, knelt on the edge of the field, and shouted: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the Marquis of E. Please take a look at it!"

Ji Xie removed the wax seal on the bamboo tube, shook open the silk book inside, and glanced at it, his face suddenly became clouded. The attentive ministers also found that King Zhou's hand holding the silk book was trembling, and everyone understood:

Something big is bound to happen!

King Zhou Yi put away the silk book and hurried to the fields, leaving two words: "Go back to the palace!"

Since the "Ji Tian" ceremony ended hastily, the Haojing Palace has been shrouded in heavy dark clouds. After King Zhou Yi returned to the palace, he did not have a major dynasty. He only summoned Zhou Zhao Ergong, Guo Gong and other clan officials to hold court meetings in the side hall.

The discussion continued at noon until late at night, but there was no result. It seemed that they broke up unhappy. It seemed that the king of Zhou did not even take a bite of lunch or dinner. The people in the palace were talking about it. I don’t know why. Gradually, some people who were better informed

I found out some reasons: It turns out that the Chu State in the south actually claimed the title of king! This is really shocking.

The chamberlain Jia stood in the middle of the inner hall of the middle palace, answering the Queen's questions one after another.

"Yes, queen. The king has not eaten yet. He has kicked out all his servants and locked himself in the study alone. No one is allowed in."

"The State of Chu actually arrogated the title of king. It's so bold! No wonder the king is so angry." Fan Ji said.

The chamberlain Jia curled his lips and said, "Who says otherwise? It was enough for Chuzi to proclaim himself the king. He also made all three of his sons kings. The eldest son Xiong Wukang was the king of Juyan, the second son Xiong Zhihong was the king of E, and the youngest son Xiong was the king of E.

Zhichi became the king of Yue Zhang and guarded three important places in the middle section of the Yangtze River."

"King E? What's going on? Has the State of E been annexed by the State of Chu?"

"That's not true. I was just forced to move fifty miles north, so I asked the king for help. I heard that Chu Zixiongqu also planned to send troops to attack Sui and seize the opportunity to seize the Tonglu Mountain. The king was so anxious that he couldn't eat anything."

Fan Ji nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. Let's go down and receive the reward."

"Thank you Queen!"

As soon as the chamberlain Jia left, Fan Ji ordered: "Change my clothes!"
