Li Pin lay down for a while and got up and put on the traditional clothes here under the service of the maid, the light blue long skirt was inlaid with strings of gems, and there was a crisp sound under the movement, the maid smiled and put on a forehead ornament composed of seven-colored gems on Li Pin's forehead, and the delicate gems shone in the warm light.
Li Pin's wrist also carries gems of the same color, and the snow-white feet lined with it are more and more cute. After packing up, Li Pin followed Bi Se to the council hall with a little trepidation, not knowing how the king thought of her existence, and whether her return was a mistake.
Li Pin's steps became lighter and lighter, for fear of disturbing the sleeping gods in this palace and seeing the aggression of her, an outsider. When she arrived in the council hall, Bise slowly left here first, and she had to rush back to the palace first to settle the princess's luggage.
Li Pin slowly pushed open the door, looking at a gray-haired old man with a hunched body who had his back to her, there was an inexplicable sourness in his eyes, and he hesitated Li Pin walked in, looked at the old man and said respectfully, "Your Majesty." ā
The old man turned his head slowly, the face that showed wisdom was gradually aging, it was covered with wrinkles, and only the bright eyes told Li Pin how talented this old man used to be. The old man looked at Li Pin with excitement on his face: "Sining, you are finally back." ā
Li Pin looked at this face full of kindness and smiled lightly: "Yes, I'm back." ā
The old man saw that Li Pin was not restrained, and sat on the chair by himself and said, "I'm afraid you also know, I'm old now, and I can't last long." You should also know that your mother was supposed to continue to protect the country in my place, but the accident was always so sudden, and now the new successor is still too young, he is not yet three years old. ā
Li Pin looked at the old man and nodded nervously: "I told the high priest about this, I am willing to fulfill my responsibilities on behalf of my mother, but I don't want to stay here now, the king should also know that I am married, my husband is the prime minister of another huge empire, and he also has duties that he must fulfill, and I love him very much." ā
The old man said a little lonely: "You kid have to say these things when we meet for the first time, I know it, so I will stand here and guard this country for the time being, until you are done dealing with your private affairs and can afford to bear the fate of this country. ā
Li Pin asked what he had been confused about for a long time: "Why me, can't others?" I believe there are a lot of good people in this country who can take on this responsibility. ā
The old man smiled and said: "It can only be you, you are her child, an existence that can be accepted by the people, a person who will be respected by all the people in the whole country, only you are the most suitable, child, are you willing?" Taking on this huge responsibility? ā
Li Pin said firmly with tears in his eyes: "I am willing, your lordship, I can only trouble you to hold on for a while, and when I finish dealing with my personal affairs, I will be a qualified person to assist the new monarch." ā
The old man slowly stood up, hugged Li Pin and said, "Bless you, my child." I look forward to your coming, knowing that whether you can contribute to this country or not, that you can live is the best gift that God has given us. ā
Li Pin slowly hugged the old king, and she saw his sincere love for her: "Thank you." "Thank you all for making my existence meaningful.
The king let go of Li Pin and said with a smile: "After we have finished talking about business, let's talk about some idle things!" You probably don't know that you and your mother seem to be the same stubborn, and you want to hear about your mother? ā
Li Pin's eyes had a different demeanor: "Okay." "Being able to be closer to her mother in this way, a little closer, is the best gift she's ever received.
"Your mother is my brother's child, my brother led the troops to fight for the peace of the country, and finally unfortunately died on the battlefield, sister-in-law is a very gentle but stubborn woman, she helped a lot of poor people, and innovated a lot of embroidery methods, at the moment when I learned that my brother died in battle, my sister-in-law also went with my brother. Your mother was only four years old that year, and she grew up under the noses of the whole city. The old man said softly.
"My mother?" Li Pin asked suspiciously, how could it be under the noses of the people?
"At that time, I was very busy when I had just become a king, and your mother was very naughty, and she thought that this palace was too lonely, so she often ran out to play, and the people came and went to know your mother. Your mother is very beautiful and very kind, she often goes to the people to play, and when she hears that the people have any problems, she asks the guards to solve them, so the people have always liked your mother and worshiped your mother as a child given to them by God. The old man patiently explained, as if he had been sitting here telling the story of her parents to the naughty little girl.
"Mother is so good, am I embarrassed her by doing this?" Li Pin covered his face in shame and said.
"No, you are as kind as your mother, and then one day, your mother still went out to play as usual, but never came back, and everyone was frantically looking for your mother, but there was no news. Later, the people were grateful for what your mother and your grandparents had done, and every time they left the country to do business in a foreign country, they carried your mother's portrait with them, hoping to find some clues. The old man's eyes moistened.
Li Pin was very moved, and his heart for this country slowly became warm, and the discomfort and nervousness at first seemed to have completely disappeared in this conversation, only a strong affection and joy and the tranquility flowing in the blood: "Mother......"
"Then we found you, and in a situation of near-despair, we found you. With you, I am relieved, and Xinjun is also guarded. The old man said with great joy.
Li Pin said with some hesitation: "Actually, without me, the high priest can also help assist the new monarch." "How can I be so important in your hearts.
"Sining, the high priest is not allowed to meddle in political affairs, he is only responsible for confirming the new monarch's usual ancestor worship and communication with the gods. Ordinary government affairs were handled by ministers in cooperation with the king. The old man said with a smile.
Li Pin blinked his eyes and nodded, so that there is no vital interest between them, so that the high priest can maintain absolute justice!
The old man touched Li Pin's head and said, "Let's talk for a while, you're so tired today, just rest early!" Learn the etiquette in the palace first, and then half a month later will be the princess's canonization ceremony. ā
"Okay." Li Pin smiled shallowly, without a trace of hesitation.
