In the imperial study of the Eastern Shang Kingdom, Xiahou Yan looked at the mountains of twists and turns in front of him in an irritated mood, in the past few days, he has secretly sent many people to the coastal area to investigate the situation, and even did not hesitate to use the spies planted in Yuanchu to investigate, but Jian Ning seemed to have completely disappeared, and there was no one alive or dead.

"Prince, do you need your subordinates to go to the cliff where Miss Jane fell into the sea to investigate?" Feng Yang saw that Xiahou Yan's temper had become more and more unstable recently, and he would get angry at the people who were waiting below at every turn, so he took the initiative to mention it.

But Xiahou Yan didn't agree with what Feng Yang said, pushed those headaches aside, stood up and walked a few steps, and suddenly asked, "Is there any news from the princess?" ”

Feng Yang immediately replied: "Back to the master, the princess has sent back news that there is nothing for the time being." ”

"Nothing? Nothing has been found for the time being......" Xiahou Yan muttered these four words.

"Your Royal Highness, we and Emperor Yuanchu have sent a large number of people to find|excellent|excellent|small|say|more|new|most|fast|www.uuxs.cc|find but find nothing, and now it is normal for the princess to have no clues for a while......" Feng Yang explained lightly on the side.

He didn't actually have much contact with the princess, and he didn't know the princess too well, so there was no need to explain it to her, but Feng Yang had to think more about his sister Feng Zi.

Xiahou Yan was silent for a long time, and after walking back and forth for a few steps, he said to Feng Yang: "Pass the book to Emperor Yuanchu, and in a month, this palace will visit Yuanchu on behalf of the Eastern Shang Kingdom." First, I apologized for the princess's behavior some time ago, and second, to relieve the princess's pain of missing her relatives. ”

When Feng Yang heard this, he immediately looked at Xiahou Yan in surprise and said, "Your Highness think twice!" You have just consolidated your position and obtained the important task of supervising the country, so you must not leave the country at this moment to give others a chance to take advantage of it! ”

"This hall has its own sense of proportion, and I don't need you to remind me!" Xiahou Yan's tone was filled with faint anger. Full of majesty.

"Your Highness, even the queen mother will not agree to do this!" Feng Yang suddenly knelt in front of Xiahou Yan and said earnestly, "Please also ask Your Highness to put the country first." If His Royal Highness is really worried about Miss Jane, his subordinates will definitely try their best to share His Highness's worries. ”

"Feng Yang, has this hall been too tolerant of you recently? How dare you disobey the orders of the main hall! Xiahou Yan's eyes shot a murderous aura, and he said coldly. Remember. Your master is the main hall, not the queen! ”

"Feng Yang is guilty, it's just ......"

Feng Yang's words were not finished. was ruthlessly interrupted by Xiahou Yan: "If you know that you are guilty, you can't go down and receive punishment!" ”

Feng Yang couldn't, and after kowtowing to Xiahou Yan, he had to go down to receive the punishment.

After Feng Yang left, Xiahou Yan took out a hairpin that was not expensive from his arms. His fingers gently rubbed the white camellia blooming on the hairpin. This was what Jian Ning gave him that day, and promised him a condition. Although he was not Xiahou Yan in Jian Ning's eyes at that time.

The day after Jian Ning was named a princess, she was in Bingmo and Bingjin. Accompanied by the ministers, they set out from the palace and went to the altar at the easternmost point of the island.

Because it is necessary to bow down to the god of the sea at the moment of the first rise of the sun to show gratitude to the god of the sea. So before dawn, Jian Ning was ready with the help of Granny Hai and Bing Jin.

Originally, Jian Ning thought that it was not yet dawn. There shouldn't be anyone on the way from the palace to the altar, but what she didn't expect was that she had just walked out of the palace gate. And he saw the crowds of people on both sides. and the thousands of ships with lights on, which gave Jian Ning a great visual impact at once.

She looked at Bing Jin in surprise and asked, "These people...... Why ......"

All of a sudden, Jian Ning didn't know how to ask. Being watched by so many people. Jian Ning was even more embarrassed. I always feel that I am not qualified to be their princess, and I am not qualified to be loved by them.

"Mo has already issued the edict of making you a princess to every household last night, and the people naturally want to come and see the holy daughter that the sea god has given them! Because that's what will bring them good luck. Bing Jin explained with a smile on the side.

Jian Ning sometimes really doesn't understand the people of Binglan Country, they are sometimes very advanced, such as in the formulation and implementation of laws, as well as in the study of the whole people. But sometimes they are extremely ignorant and backward, for example, in the matter of what saints are there in the sea god.

However, after thinking about it, Jian Ning could also understand their god-worshipping mentality, after all, Binglan Country was a country built on the sea, and its survival was greatly affected by the sea. And the almost cursed phenomenon of the royal family made them believe in the existence of the sea god.

When the people saw Jian Ning, they all had a pious mentality, and they always had a bright smile on their faces. Under the light of the sporadic torches, such a smile gave Jian Ning an extremely warm feeling, which also made Jian Ning gradually relax and no longer be so nervous.

Surrounded by the people all the way, Jian Ning followed Bingmo and Bingjin to the easternmost altar of the island. Presiding over this ritual was a white-haired old man in Binglan Country.

Listening to Bing Jin's introduction, this old man is the priest of Binglan Country, and he waits by the altar all year round.

The process and etiquette of sacrificing to the gods Bing Jin had already explained to Jian Ning in detail, and Jian Ning did not have any differences. After Jian Ning finished kowtowing, the white-haired priest stepped forward, wrote the word "Bingning" on a piece of yellow paper with a red pen, and said some words of praise to the god of the sea and praying for good luck, and then threw the paper into the sea.

After this procedure, the ritual is completed. Next, it's time for the festivities. The people of Binglan Country respect and love Jian Ning very much, and some bold women will come forward to hug Jian Ning.

But such an occasion is really not suitable for pregnant women, so after watching it from the side for a while, Bing Jin was helped by Ren Ling to go back to the palace first, leaving Granny Hai to take care of Jian Ning.

In Fengyi Palace, Le Ling was holding the letter that Dongshang had just received, and his face was obviously dignified, he was finally coming.

"Fengzi, groom me." After Le Ling burned the letter, he immediately walked outside the house.

"Princess, where are you going?" Feng Zi asked suspiciously.

The princess rarely steps out of Fengyi Palace on weekdays, and Fengyi Palace does not accept outsiders, so Leling only applies a little powder every day.

"As the master of the harem, now that Concubine Yi has been missing for many days, this palace has come forward to share the emperor's worries." Le Ling said lightly.

Although Le Ling said calmly, she was extremely surprised when she heard it in Feng Zi's ears, why did the princess suddenly take care of these things?

Le Ling didn't want to get involved in these chaos, but now the situation is different, and the imperial brother will come to Yuanchu soon. If he still ignores the world like this, he will inevitably be dissatisfied with himself, and his situation will be even more passive.

Feng Zi carefully put on a luxurious and cumbersome queen's palace dress for Leling, and then combed Leling's hair bun, and inserted the golden phoenix hairpin into Leling's black hair one by one.

After making preparations, Feng Zi asked: "Princess, the slave maid has already sent someone to inquire just now, the emperor is in the imperial study at the moment, but the princess is going to the imperial study?" ”

"No, go to Ningshou Palace to say hello to the Empress Dowager." Le Ling said lightly while walking out with elegant steps.

She knew that Dongshang's letter of state must not have reached Long Zeye's hands yet, so instead of arousing his suspicion in the past now, it was better to go to the Empress Dowager first to establish a good relationship. Although Le Ling didn't go out, he also knew that the influence of the Empress Dowager in Yuanchu should not be underestimated.

Feng Zi didn't ask any more questions when he heard this, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair for Leling.

After arriving at Ningshou Palace, Le Ling left the rest of the people outside and only brought Fengzi in.

The Empress Dowager was chanting in the Buddhist hall and didn't see anyone, but when she heard Aunt Hebi say that it was the Empress who came to ask for peace, the Empress Dowager still saw her out of accident.

"The concubines see the Empress Dowager, I wish the Empress Dowager a long life and good health." Leling walked the standard Fuli Road.

"Get up." The Empress Dowager said lightly, "You rarely go out on weekdays, and it's even rarer to come here to mourn here, why do you think of it today?" ”

"On weekdays, the concubine is rude, and recently I heard that the Empress Dowager is very troubled by Concubine Yi's sister, and the concubine is worried about the Empress Dowager's health, so she specially came to relieve your worries." Le Ling's voice was gentle, and she replied with a little worry.

"The mourning family is happy and quiet, so I don't want you to come to say hello every day, and you can't be rude." The Empress Dowager glanced at Le Ling and continued, "But as the master of the harem, it is really a dereliction of duty for you to ignore the affairs of the harem. If it were someone else, maybe the mourning family would have deposed the emperor a long time ago! ”

Le Ling had long expected this to be the result, the Empress Dowager has never been easy to fool. Immediately knelt down and confessed his mistake: "The concubine is guilty." Due to the dereliction of duty of the concubines, the Empress Dowager bothered. Therefore, this time, the concubine wants to make meritorious service and share the worries of the emperor and you. ”

Because of Jian Ning's incident, the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the emperor had a rift, and the emperor's temperament changed greatly, which almost became the empress dowager's heart disease.

"Oh? Do you have a good way to relieve the worries of the mourning family and the emperor? You must know that the emperor used his true feelings for Jian Ning. The Empress Dowager looked at Le Ling with some curiosity.

"According to the humble opinion of the concubine, the most important thing at the moment is not how to persuade the emperor to give up looking for Concubine Yi's sister, but to help the emperor find it together."

"The emperor ignores the country and the society for a woman, why does the mourning family still help him mess around?" The Empress Dowager glanced at Le Ling coldly and said, "The queen doesn't want to use the power of the mourning family to help you please the emperor!" ”

"The Empress Dowager is a clear guide, and it is definitely well thought out that the concubines will build like this." Le Ling then slowly explained, "Now that the emperor is bent on finding Concubine Yi's sister, if he tries his best to stop the emperor, not only will he not be able to persuade the emperor to return, but it is very likely to backfire and make the emperor completely give up this country."
