Chapter 6: The Beauty Arrives at Court

  She was said to be the adopted daughter of the man who sold mulberry bows and arrows. It is said that her adoptive father, due to the difficulty of raising a young child, sent her to the wife of Ji Da. The two experiences of being abandoned were fortunately only in her infancy, and did not leave any painful shadows on her.

  Among the green hills and clear waters, she has also grown into a beautiful scenery in this landscape, pure and elegant, enough to add charm to the green hills.

  Bo Yu's imprisonment became a major concern for his family. Bo Yu's son, Bo Hongde, came to the countryside to collect taxes and met this woman by chance. At first sight, he was shocked and thought she was a heavenly beauty. He did not expect that in such a remote and poor mountain village, there would be a stunning beauty who could charm the whole city.

  At this time, Bo Hongde's heart was moved by the thought of his father being imprisoned for three years, suffering who knows how much hardship, yet still unable to escape this calamity. But now, this little girl seemed to bring him a glimmer of hope. Bo Hongde inquired about the neighbors and learned that this little girl was fourteen years old, merely an adopted daughter of the Ji family. After returning home, he immediately reported back to his mother, saying that if they could buy her and present her to the Emperor, perhaps it would be possible to pardon his father's unpardonable crime. This was also the strategy used by San Yisheng when he bribed King Zhou and rescued King Wen of Zhou. His mother ordered him to go and take care of it immediately.

  Hong De's filial piety is commendable, and he was able to cater to his father's preferences, which shows that he is also a clever person. However, he forgot that his father was imprisoned for speaking the truth, so rescuing him in this way doesn't it go against his father's principles?

  Perhaps he did not think of this. And his tribute to King You of Zhou, Bao Si, also became the fuse for the turmoil of the Zhou Dynasty.

  Baohongde found Baosi and bought her back home at a high price. As a beauty, Baosi now lacks only packaging. Baohongde deeply knows that to make Zhou Youwang infatuated at first sight, there is still much work to be done. So in the mansion, he had Baosi's body nourished, purchased high-end clothing, and taught her etiquette. A fourteen-year-old little girl suddenly changed from doing chores every day to becoming a dignified young lady in brocade clothes.

  After Baosi was fully elevated in terms of temperament and etiquette, Baohongde took her to Haojing.

  Of course, to start with, my father's crime deserves ten thousand deaths. However, as a family member, we tried every means to redeem this unforgivable sin. How to redeem it? Offer the beautiful woman Xi Shi and beg for your forgiveness.

  King You of Zhou immediately declared an order to summon Bao Si into the palace. Indeed, she was a beauty beyond compare, radiant and dazzling. The other beauties presented from various places were truly insignificant in front of her. King You immediately issued a decree, ordering Bo Zhou to be released from prison and reinstated to his original position. From then on, King You did not hold court for ten consecutive days.

  King You of Zhou lived with Bao Si in the Jade Pavilion from then on and never entered Queen Shen's palace again.

  After becoming the queen, she was a noble and kind-hearted person, basically waiting to be bullied by others. As the empress, she really didn't have the cunning of Empress Lü or the decisiveness of Empress Wu. Even towards King You of Zhou, she actually deeply loved him. This can be inferred from her reaction when she learned that Bao Si had gained favor. Unlike other queens, she didn't resort to any schemes or tricks, and instead directly went to reprimand Bao Si while King You was still around. It's easy to imagine that Queen Shen would end up getting hurt herself.

  Bao Si came from a poor family and was educated by Bao Hongde, so she was naturally familiar with the etiquette of the palace. However, she did not go to see the empress. It was clear that going to see the empress would definitely lead to humiliation, why bother? Of course, this was also because of Zhou Youwang's favoritism. In this deep palace, young Bao Si also began to have her own principles.

  Afterwards, day after day, she shed tears, and towards Empress Cao, she was so resentful that her teeth itched, but there was nothing she could do. It can be seen that Empress Shen was indeed a kind-hearted person, who had no understanding of the palace's sinister plots and poisonous designs. The more helpless she felt, the more her hatred grew.

  The crown prince Yi Xuan was deeply worried, and the mother and son discussed it. This is all because of the evil woman Bao Si causing chaos in the palace. The crown prince Yi Xuan is not a wise person either. If King You of Zhou were a wise ruler, how could he be infatuated with Bao Si? Or looking at it from another perspective, if King You of Zhou was so foolish, even without Bao Si, there would be other beauties. Anyway, the evil woman is indispensable.

  After being abandoned by King You of Zhou, the Marquis of Shen also retreated to the land of Shen. As the crown prince, what he should do is probably just go wherever it's cooler and be careful to stay alive.

  For many years, living in luxury and comfort has made Yizong unable to tolerate others bullying his mother. He must make this wicked woman suffer humiliation. Crown Prince Yizong informed Empress Shen that everything would be taken care of tomorrow and he would definitely avenge his mother's grievances.

  Tomorrow is the first day of the lunar month, and all ministers must pay their respects to the emperor.

  Taking advantage of King You of Zhou's early morning court session, Crown Prince Yijiu ordered his trusted attendants to rush to the residence of Bao Si on the Jade Platform, intentionally picking flowers in disarray. The palace maid on Bao Si's side saw the commotion and rushed to the Jade Platform, asking if the Eastern Palace was so powerful? The two groups of palace maids quarreled and argued incessantly. Bao Si heard the noise and stepped out of the Jade Platform, but before she could speak, she was suddenly grabbed by her hair. It turned out that Crown Prince Yijiu had staged a "snake-out-of-the-cave" scheme and personally took action!

  One was Zhou Tianzi's pampered concubine in the palm of his hand, and the other was the crown prince who came out to avenge his mother. Without saying a word, they began to fight fiercely. The palace maids on both sides were already stunned, too ruthless, directly using force, no one dared to offend, after being stunned for half a day, all knelt down and kowtowed, begging the crown prince to spare their lives!

  No need to say anything, everyone knows what's going on.

  At this moment, King You of Zhou returned from his morning court, and was shocked to see Bao Si like this. Although Bao Si was young, she was indeed clever. She knew that the favor she had received had already offended many people, and even if she continued to receive favor, she could not be compared to Queen Shen. So at this time, she chose to show weakness. Sometimes, being in the right but not forgiving others is not a way to solve problems, while showing weakness can often evoke sympathy from others and achieve unexpected results. Especially with King You of Zhou, who doted on her.

  According to Bao Si's words, the Crown Prince was acting on behalf of his mother, and that temper would not rest until one side died. And she was already six months pregnant. To avoid this struggle and preserve her life, she begged King You of Zhou to let her leave the palace, to preserve the lives of both mother and child.

  King You of Zhou originally thought that the crown prince Yi Yu was like this, which was naturally the idea of Queen Shen. However, if he let Yi Yu kill Bao Si, it would be unbearable. To avoid such a conflict, he could only let the crown prince leave. So he issued an edict to send Crown Prince Yi Yu to the state of Shen and have him educated by Marquis Shen. It can be said that at this time, King You of Zhou was just trying to avoid the intensification of the contradiction between Crown Prince Yi Yu and Bao Si, otherwise he would not have sent the crown prince to the state of Shen, which was equivalent to sending him to his maternal grandfather's home, where there were many opportunities for trouble.

  In this matter, the only one he didn't consider was his beloved wife, Shen Hou. Since the crown prince was punished and expelled from the palace, Shen Hou fell into an even deeper mental crisis. Her husband now belonged to someone else, her son had been sent away by that ruthless father to live with his grandparents, and she truly became a lonely person, spending every day crying. However, this sorrowful yet peaceful life wouldn't last long either.
