Du Rong's words can be regarded as making me feel like an initiation, and my head suddenly cleared up a lot.

In fact, I am so sluggish in this regard, also because I have never encountered it before, when I was in the academy, although everyone fought very well in private, but also read the book of sages, and then followed the emperor to run around, into the court as an official, this kind of thing is even more unavoidable, although most of the officials of the Qin State are mixed with Pei Lu, but they also know a little bit about my temper, there is really no need to make trouble for myself in this matter, and now that I have arrived in the Qi Kingdom, I am really hard, and I have to be careful and careful in everything.

I blinked and reached out to him, a flattering smile on my face, "Take it all, I'll defend myself." ”

When Du Rong saw me like this, he was actually amused by me.

He took out a small white jade carved vase from his sleeve and put it in my hand, and said with a smile, "There are three antidote pills in here, you have to be careful, don't lose it." ”

"Just three?" I was dissatisfied, "You're too stingy, why don't you have a big bottle?" ”

Du Rong's face darkened, and he said in a bad tone, "It's not enough to suffer a loss once, how many times do you have to eat?" ”

I ducked my head under the covers, afraid to speak.

Du Rong chuckled lightly and stood up, "You have a good rest, don't think about dealing with official business all day long, I should leave now, and I'll come back to talk to you in a few days." ”

I looked at him and nodded muffledly.

Du Rong put the gauze tent for me, jumped out of the window, and disappeared into the dim night.

Seeing him leave, I closed my eyes and fell asleep in a daze.

Three days later, in the morning, the palace held a banquet.

I brought Bai Zhihuan into the palace for a banquet, but this banquet was not specially set up for us, but for the nineteenth birthday of Princess Huizhong, the only princess of Qi Kingdom today.

"My lord, today is the princess's birthday, will the gift we have prepared be too shabby?" Bai Zhi still looked at the jade box in his hand, a little worried.

Now their status in Qi State is the envoy of the envoy, every move may bring different results, today's princess's birthday, Qi Guo deliberately waited for the hour to come and then inform them, it was clearly deliberately difficult for them, but the adults were not in a hurry, it seemed that they had already prepared, and her preparation was this small jade box and an ordinary folding fan in the jade box.

A dignified princess of a country, no matter how good a fan is, she can't look down on it, right?

"She was originally a golden branch and jade leaf that grew up in a rare treasure, and any congratulatory gift was shabby in her eyes." I waved my hand, not worried at all, "Instead of spending energy to find treasures, it is better to just do it, save time, effort, and money." ”

Bai Zhi also saw that I looked confident, but he didn't say anything anymore, and followed me all the way into the main hall with the jade box.

All the ministers of Qi in the palace have already arrived, only Emperor Qi, Empress Qi, Princess Huizhong and Gu Yuancheng have not come. With a slight sweep of my eyes, my heart was clear, and I was led by the little eunuch to my seat and sat down.

"Shen Xiang." When Wei Ren saw me coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet you, "Because of His Majesty's summons yesterday, I couldn't treat you well, and I don't know if these people under my hands have neglected you?" ”

"Wei Shangshu is serious, you have been entertaining the prime minister for two days, how dare the prime minister think that you and other officials have neglected the prime minister because he didn't wait for a day?" I smiled and got up.

"That's good, that's good." Wei Ren nodded reassuringly, and said with a smile, "Originally, the Prime Minister wanted to receive you in person, but there have been a lot of matters in the palace recently, so he can't pull away, and I hope that Shen Xiang can forgive me." ”

"That's nature." I said.

"Is this Lord Shen Xiang of Qinguo?" The gentle and soft voice came from far and near, and a figure in a purple dress came slowly from outside the hall.

The palace bell jingles, the steps are shaken and moved gently, the layers of purple skirts are like frost flowers blooming, the gorgeous outline of golden silk plum blossoms, the flowers are faintly hidden on the long hem of the gorgeous palace skirt, the faint fragrance of plum blossoms is diffused in the air, and the stars are intoxicating dream shadows.

Beautiful eyes, beautiful women, shocking, not stained with dust.

Such a peerless woman must be the famous Princess Huizhong.

Sure enough, I haven't made a move yet, and the rest of the ministers have already stood up and saluted, and Wei Ren next to me immediately whispered to me after saying "no need to be polite" in Huizhong, "This is Princess Huizhong, Your Majesty's most beloved imperial sister." ”

I nodded at him, and then bowed to the woman who was looking at me, "Shen Qingzhi, the envoy of the Qin Kingdom, has seen Princess Huizhong. ”

"Lord Shen Xiang doesn't need to be polite, how can I stand it?" Huizhong took a few steps faster and stepped forward to help.

"Today's princess's birthday, I should pay tribute to the princess." I smiled, and then gestured to Bai Zhi, and took the jade box he was holding, "I went to the banquet in a hurry, and I didn't prepare any good gifts, only the contents of this jade box, I hope the princess can like it." “

Although Huizhong was surprised that the minister of a country only took out such an inconspicuous jade box as a congratulatory gift, she didn't feel anything disgusted, and took the jade box with a light smile. Love me

"Won't the princess open it and take a look?" I reminded softly.

Huizhong raised his eyes to look at me, answered, and opened the jade box.

Only a rosewood fan was quietly placed in the jade box, and a small plum blossom jade fell from the handle of the fan, although it was exquisite, there was nothing else unusual.

Huizhong looked up at me, and just wanted to politely thank me, but I took the first step to open my mouth, "If the princess doesn't pick it up and try it, how do you know if this fan doesn't fit?" ”

Huizhong looked at me in surprise, seeing that I was just smiling, but her eyes were implied insistence, her brows were slightly furrowed, in order not to dismiss my mind, she picked up the fan and opened it according to her words, and this time she opened it, and her eyes could not be removed.

Bai Zhi has always been curious about the magic of this fan, but now seeing Princess Huizhong's eyes stunned, her expression was both happy and sad, and she couldn't help but turn sideways slightly to look at the red sandalwood folding fan in her hand.

There is nothing strange on the fan surface, just a simple painting of a horizontal oblique plum blossom, the plum blossom is proud, but there are a few petals scattered under the flower branches.

If you say that this horizontal oblique plum blossom picture, it really has a different flavor of everyone, but if you make a fan, there is no inscription in the blank space of the large area, it is not the best in the fan.

But why did Princess Huizhong see it with a cherished look in her eyes?

"How did you get this fan?" Huizhong suddenly raised his head, and his words were eager.

I looked at her like this, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

The goddess has a heart, and the king has no dreams.

"Lord Meiyan has a little friendship with him, I heard that his plum blossoms are very good, so he asked him to paint a fan, I wanted to collect my treasures, coinciding with the princess's birthday, so I cheekily took this to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, the princess can not blame." I smiled and made a gesture that counted as an apology.

"How can I blame you?" Huizhong hurriedly helped each other, and then carefully put the folding fan back into the jade box and hugged it in his arms, "Lord Shen Xiang, I like this congratulatory gift of yours very much, thank you for bringing me such a precious thing, I want to lose my company first, and then come to thank you later." ”

I staggered away and smiled as she left.

Wei Ren had witnessed everything that was happening in front of him, although he had never thought that if he hindered Shen Xiang a little, she would lose face, but now this situation was something he didn't expect at all.

What jade boxes, folding fans, plum blossoms, if these were not prepared in advance, how could she take them casually? And it's still on the right hit?

"Wei Shangshu? Wei Shangshu! ”

Wei Ren came back to his senses, and his frost-white beard trembled.

"Why is Wei Shangshu so good?" I chuckled and teased, "Could it be that Wei Shangshu also wants a red sandalwood fan?" ”

Wei Ren hesitated, not knowing how to answer, but at this time, the voice of the eunuch outside the main hall came, and he was suddenly relieved.

All the ministers in the palace knelt down to greet him, and when Wei Ren bowed his head, I bent down, chuckled and whispered to him, "How can Rosewood Mountain bring out the grandeur of an adult?" When it is the black and white chess pieces made by Meiyu on Ziying Mountain, it is the most popular for adults. ”

The old man's body stiffened, Wei Ren's face quickly turned pale, he trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at me.

"Wei Aiqing, what's wrong with you?" Li Dai saw Wei Ren with a panicked expression at a glance, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he opened his mouth in confusion.

"Wechen...... Wei Chen ...... "Wei Ren lowered his head in shock, and his body trembled even more" Back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen occasionally felt cold yesterday, and when he got up this morning, he felt weak and lightheaded, originally Wei Chen wanted to support this old bone to do more for His Majesty, but now Wei Chen really can't hold on, and I hope Your Majesty can grace Wei Chen to retire first. ”

Li Dai looked at Wei Ren gently, raised his hand and said, "Wei Aiqing, get up quickly, all the Qing family should also get up." After speaking, he took He Muxin's hand and sat down on the main seat of the main hall together, and Gu Yuancheng, who was behind them, also sat down beside me.

"Wei Aiqing still has to hold on to his body first, I have to rely on you for many things." Li Dai gently advised, "Aiqing should go back to the house to rest now, I will give you enough time to recuperate, and when Aiqing is well, you will come to see me again." ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Wei Ren bowed and saluted, and hurriedly withdrew from the hall.

"Okay, today is Huizhong's birthday, so Aiqing doesn't have to be too restrained because of me." Li Dai smiled and said to the ministers below, "Huizhong has always been my most cherished imperial sister, today I will give her a good celebration, come on, go and invite Princess Huizhong over." ”

The eunuch in the palace was about to invite Her Royal Highness the princess according to the emperor's order, but she didn't expect Princess Huizhong to have arrived outside the main hall.

"Imperial brother, imperial sister-in-law." Huizhong happily stepped forward to salute Emperor Qi and Empress Qi.

"Huizhong, come, sit next to the imperial sister-in-law." He Muxin directly held Huizhong's hand, pulled her down to his side and sat down, "Today is your birthday, your royal brother and sister-in-law have congratulatory gifts to give you." ”
