Chapter 138
Although he didn't do anything, just holding her like this, she was also satisfied. All of a sudden, I was extremely weak: Ziling, Ziling. In fact, this is the happiness I have been longing for. Whenever I open my eyes, I can have a warm embrace that I can rely on.
She lay in his arms and fell asleep again. This time, she slept soundly and peacefully. She had never had such a good dream in her life.
Chen Gonggong's funeral is finally over. In recent years, there have been many wars on the border, especially after Prince Chen destroyed the 100000 troops of the state of Chu. The king of Chu harbors a grudge and feuds between the two countries. Now when he sees the great funeral of Duke Chen, he thinks it is profitable, so he wants to take advantage of it to launch a sneak attack.
Prince Chen's accession to the throne was put on the agenda as soon as possible. To deter the enemy from harassment.
Everything is ready. Three days later, it will be the grand ceremony of the accession to the throne.
The palace, which had just had a funeral, changed its style quickly and was full of joy.
Xia Ji seldom goes out, and many concubines come to visit and flatter her. She is just a light social intercourse. There is no alienation, but there is no warmth. She had been estranged from people since childhood, and did not know how to deal with this group of women. However, they dare not blame her for her slight politeness. After all, she is the Crown Princess and will soon become the new queen.
Because of this, Xia Ji did not cultivate any cliques in the court.
Until Lijie comes to the door. She was Chen Gonggong's favorite concubine in his lifetime. She was actually a queen. Now she is the queen mother, and her status is extraordinary. Because Xia Ji was ill in bed for a long time, there was no time to visit her first. She was very polite, with expensive gifts and beautiful words. Xia Ji, under the guidance of Cui Bi and others, has no bad manners. According to the etiquette, she must visit Yanting where Liji lives as soon as possible.
It was her first visit to Yanting. The decoration of Yanting is very gorgeous. The lower part of Yanting is made of brick and stone. There are five doors with gold nails and red lacquer. There are dragon, Phoenix and flying clouds carved on it. The upper gate tower, the left and right of which are covered with glazed tiles, is gorgeous.
Liji's body is full of pearls and jewels. She is graceful and elegant. The Empress Dowager's momentum is full, but just right. She was very intimate with Xia Ji. She helped her with her hand and gave her a seat. The maid in waiting offered her first-class tea and exquisite snacks.
The last time the Empress Dowager went, Xia Ji was ill and couldn't see clearly. At this time, she looked at Xia Ji carefully. After a long time, she sighed: "the AI family has been married into the palace since she was 15 years old. At that time, the king exclaimed that the AI family was beautiful, so she only gave her the word" Li ". In the past 20 years, the AI family has been proud of its beauty, but no one can compare with herself. However, when she saw the princess today, Fang knew that she was really ashamed of herself... "
"The Empress Dowager really killed Xia Ji. How dare Xia Ji compare with the Empress Dowager? "
Liji laughed: "princess, with respect to the family, you can't find a true sister in the harem with your peerless beauty..."
Xia Ji said faintly: "Xia Ji has been lonely since she was young. How can she find her true heart?? All we have to do is to have a clear conscience. Thank you for your advice. "
Perhaps, because it is not an opponent, not a rival in love, will not compete with a man, between the two people, but surprisingly harmonious.
They said something about their families. Suddenly, a maid in waiting reported that Prince Chen Ling came to greet the Empress Dowager.
