Chapter 3 Lunch
The discussion in his bedroom disappointed Xiong Jing, and he recalled Xiang Yan's remarks about attacking Qin and unable to save Zhao. At this moment, he felt that he had made a serious mistake: it should not agree to revival Ying at the repeated requests of Cheng Jie and others. This is an extremely irrational strategy.
The Valley of Dongzhou is already being bred, and the State of Chu does not lack food and fodder but only soldiers, especially soldiers who can fight. Taking this as a consideration, the strategy of restoring Ying is completely wrong, which is equivalent to abandoning the soldiers who can fight in Zhao in exchange for soldiers who cannot fight in the old Ying.
The mistake had already happened, but before the mistake happened, no one realized how serious the mistake was. The veins on Xiong Jing's forehead swelled up and his hands were rubbing together. He was angry that he had made such a mistake. Isn't this the mistake of Qin Mugong recruiting 300 savages for the Chinese people?
Restoring Ying enabled both the Zhu clans and the Yushi to obtain fiefs, but saving Zhao and Zhao people were betrayed again and again. Everyone would choose the former instead of the latter, but at this time the Chu State could not choose the former.
Xiong Jing's expression changed drastically, Naoji, Li Qi, Lan She thought he was worried about the battle situation and dared not say much, but there was one thing that could not be reported. Naojiu coughed: "King, Xiang Bo..."
"I have seen Xiang Bo's book." Xiang Yan wrote a letter to apologize, and Xiong Jing had already seen it on the way back to Yingdu. The defeat was responsible for Xiang Yan, but it was not all for Xiang Yan. He just overestimated the Qi army and did not pay attention to the difference between the Chu army and the Qi army.
"No." What Xiong Jing said was not the same as what Naoji said. He had a bitter face: "Xiang Bo is about to die."
"Ah?!" Xiong Jing's eyes widened, stared at Naojiu, and then stared at Lan She and Li Qie.
"That's right." Lan She said. "In the war, the Qin people gathered Jing crossbow and shot it, but Xiang Bo was not careful..."
"Why don't you repay me!" Xiong Jing was in chaos. He could not accept Xiang Yan's death, but the reality is that Xiang Yan was seriously injured and was about to die.
More than ten days ago, Xiang Yan and Wang Jian fought in Anyang. Wang Jian set up two battles in this battle. After the battle was fought in the front, they were quickly defeated. The Chu and Qi coalition immediately rushed. The result of the rush was that the slow artillery fell to the end. When the Qin army rushed forward with a second array waiting to be worked hard, the Qi army was about to collapse. Xiang Yan rushed forward to stabilize the front line. More than 20 Jing crossbows had been prepared by the Qin army suddenly shot...
The 400,000 Qin troops led by Li Xin were elite, and the Qin troops led by Wang Jian were not far behind. What was even more terrifying was that Wang Jian captured the Chu army's psychology and understood the weaknesses of the Chu and Qi coalition. When the Qin army collapsed, the Chu army with high morale would surely be expelled. When the Qi army saw the Chu army running, they naturally followed. Due to the retaliation of the Qin army, the Chu army could withstand, but the Qi army was about to collapse.
If this was a dignified battle, the Chu and Qi coalition would definitely win and the Qin army would be defeated. However, Wang Jian chose the Benzhu battle with higher requirements for discipline, morale and command, and the Qi army would collapse immediately.
"Beizhou! Buyan is going to Daliang." He had just returned to Ying and had not yet offered prisoners to Taimiao, the king was going to Daliang. Naoji, Lan She, and Li Qi were all puzzled, but the king's words were orders, and the king's orders were immediately passed on to his ward.
"Great King, the Queen Mother asked the King to come to Ruoying Palace for lunch..." The queen of the Sanchao bowed. The king suddenly returned to Yingdu and suddenly wanted to go to Daliang. He was a little uncomfortable. "Princess Yingnan came to Ying."
Wang Yinyou talked about Yingnan. During the period when Xiong Jing was not in Yingdu, Concubine Zhao asked someone to take Yingnan to the Chu Palace in advance. His son wanted to get married in advance, and Concubine Zhao, who was a mother, knew that. The Chu army defeated the Qin people and regained the old Ying, the land of his ancestors. To achieve this achievement, it was just a trivial matter to add the crown in advance.
The son was determined to marry Mi Xuan and Gui Kejia from Qi State, who was very likely to marry his son together. Although Yingnan was not a queen, he was also a wife. He could get a bed with his son in advance by entering the Chu Palace in advance, and he could get pregnant and have a child in advance by combining his bed in advance. According to the theory of etiquette and law, Gui Kejia was a princess, and Yingnan was also a princess. If Yingnan could give birth to children first, even if he was not the eldest son, he would be the eldest son.
Concubine Zhao was very thoughtful, especially now that Zhao State is in danger and is about to perish, her heart has become even more delicate. Xiong Jing could see her intentions clearly at a glance, but she could not help.
"I don't know if my mother is happy?" In Ruoying's palace, there was a beautiful man in pure clothes sitting in the seat where Mi Qi often sat before getting married. This was Ying Nan. Xiong Jing bowed to Concubine Zhao, and Ying Nan bowed to Xiong Jing.
"My mother is safe." Concubine Zhao looked at Xiong Jing in front of her. Her son was in a fierce growth season. She was already seven feet or eight inches tall, which was higher than ordinary people. She was still as thin as a young man and did not look strong.
"My mother was not feeling well recently, so she asked Yingnan to come to Yingdu to accompany her mother." Concubine Zhao pointed at Yingnan, she smiled and saluted Xiong Jing again, and Xiong Jing also bowed to her.
On one hand, she was her beloved niece, and on the other hand, she grew taller and taller, becoming more and more like the son of a wise king. Concubine Zhao was filled with joy. While signaling to gather the chef to eat, she spoke. "The mother is not involved in government affairs, I hope you get married as soon as possible. Get married as soon as possible, and you will be able to reproduce as soon as possible. Ying Nan is well-behaved and virtuous, and is comparable to ordinary women. Even if she is a wife, the king should not treat her poorly."
"Auntie..." Ying Nan was embarrassed by Concubine Zhao's words, and lowered his head after being slightly embarrassed.
Concubine Zhao was not embarrassed at all. The marriage between Chu and Qi was not something that she, the queen mother, could change. It was related to the interests of Chu and the whole world. Her son liked Mi Xuan and went thousands of miles to Qin to steal people. A woman in Yan and Zhao was strong, but she was weak; a man was weak, but she no longer dared to disobey her son's wishes.
What Zhao Concubine can do now is to make Ying Nan the second queen of Chu, and her throne may be praised by the concubine, but not by Mi Xuan. Mi Xuan is not a princess, and she has no family background. She is more like the king's favorite concubine. When the king is favored, everyone flatters. Once the lust is declining, everyone will avoid it. Mi Xuan is twenty-three years old, and her son will be favored by her for seven or eight years at most, and her lust will become declining.
In Ruoying's palace, Concubine Zhao matched her son and niece, and Yingnan also offered a Zheng dance during this period. Zhao's daughter was graceful and good at dancing. Judging from her dance posture, Yingnan was not worse than Mi Xuan. It was indeed better than Mi Xuan, but Xiong Jing couldn't find the feeling she felt when she watched Mi Xuan perform her dance in Chen Ying.
The Ruoying Palace where Concubine Zhao lives was so lively, while Mi Xuan's Lanhua Palace was deserted. The broth in the copper tripod boiled and boiled, and Xiong Jing was not seen. Xiu Zhu, who had gone out for a walk, entered the room and said anxiously: "The king was having lunch at the empress dowager, and Princess Yingnan also danced to the king..."
"Just you say so much." Cui Xiu blamed, "The king was pure and filial. After returning to Ying, he asked the Empress Dowager for help. This is the common practice of etiquette."
Cui Xiu was worried that Mi Xuan was unhappy. After all, she was not favored by the Queen Mother Zhao Concubine, and she was not the princess of any country, and she had no support from the mother country behind her. You must not underestimate the mother country and mother family behind the queen and concubines. It is because there is a mother country and mother family behind her that the etiquette in the bedroom is not less than that in the court outside the road. Every time she goes to a room and closes her bed, it is a major diplomatic meeting. Without a mother country and mother family, the treatment will be different. Cut your nose today and enter the cold palace tomorrow. It is purely a toy for the king, and it depends entirely on the king's mood.
Although Cui Xiu tried her best to calm down the fact that the king went to Ruoying Palace for lunch, Mi Xuan's longing eyes still lost its luster. You must know that Xiong Jingwu had sent someone to tell her that she would have lunch at Lanhua Palace. From Shangcai's return to Yingdu and learned that Yingnan had entered the palace, she knew Concubine Zhao's intentions, but she could not do anything.
"Take it down." Mi Xuan had no appetite.
"The king moved all the Mi clan to Chu State for the queen. He was so dedicated, why should the queen be worried?" Cui Xiu persuaded patiently.
"But I am not the princess of any country." Mi Xuan said in a loss.
"Zhao State is about to perish. If the world is not our Chu State, the countries will eventually be swallowed by Qin State. So what if it is a princess?" Cui Xiu held a bowl of rice to Mi Xuan, and Xiu Zhu helped Mi Xuan cut meat. "It is a princess who should cry and ask the king to protect his mother country. The king is already tired of managing government affairs every day, and he still has to listen to the princesses' requests and send troops to rescue Zhao and Qi to rescue Wei quickly. He will inevitably be unhappy when he hears it..."
Cui Xiu was old and advised people to be unknowingly. As Mi Xuan listened, she finally broke her sorrow and laughed. When a bowl of rice was about to be finished, a voice came from outside the hall: "Xuan'er..."
"King." Everyone was shocked. Mi Xuan stood up and attended, and she blew the cup on the ground without realizing it.
"Let's go." She was about to salute, but Xiong Jing hugged her and hugged her out of the hall. Mi Xuan's face was full of joy, while Xiong Jing had a calm face, fortunately, smiling at her from time to time. There was the waiting king's carriage below the steps. When Mi Xuan and his servants helped him put on the skin, Xiong Jing had already picked her up in the waist and sent her to the carriage.
"The king is rude..." She was being hugged by a man like a bag of corn. Mi Xuan liked this feeling, but she complained. What else she wanted to say, the man's lips were blocked, and she began to dizzy, forgetting where she was and what had happened just now. After a long time, when she was about to suffocate, Xiong Jing let her go, and the carriage was filled with heavy breathing.
‘Hiss, hiss—’ After a breath, the exquisite dress was roughly torn apart by Xiong Jing. The dress was white in color, but the whiter than the dress was the slender and crystal jade legs under the dress. After tearing the dress, Xiong Jing buried his head in these jade legs that he had been thinking about day and night, rubbed his cheeks constantly, and sucked the fragrance between his legs, and then he breathed a deep and deep breath.
"King..." Mi Xuan's eyes were blurred. The temple was over. She thought the king was going to ask for her in the carriage. She did not refuse this at all, but hoped that this moment would come soon.
Touching the silky crystal jade long legs, Xiong Jing kissed and said, "Buying should go to Daliang as soon as possible... Mother wants to... have lunch in Ruoying Palace... so that's all..."
As the man touched and kissed, Mi Xuan's face became redder and she felt that she was all wet, which was very ashamed. But thinking that she only loved this man in this life, she suddenly hugged Xiong Jing's head tightly, guiding him to kiss him more and more, reaching the most sensitive tip of his heart.
