"But, but Murong Zihua is just a prince, not a prince and not an emperor, what use can nine cities and one river be for him?"

Emperor Li showed a sneer: "With nine cities and one river, he is not just a prince, even if he doesn't fight himself, I'm afraid the prince of Fujian will not let him go." Let them go to infighting, and we can concentrate on solving the king of Xishan. ”

Yao Jin didn't answer, she walked to the chair next to her and sat down, went through what the emperor said just now, and finally said: "Nine cities and one river are our last hole cards, I try not to go this far, see what conditions he opens." ”

Li Huang nodded, leaned back on the dragon chair a little tiredly, and after a while, he suddenly asked: "In your opinion, does he look down on the concubine of the Xunyang family?"

Yao Jin said casually: "I don't like a concubine, do you still want to marry a princess." ”

"If he really wants to marry, the widow will not object, of course, after he becomes the king of Min. The emperor looked at Yao Jin, his titular daughter, the most noble girl of the Li Dynasty, she was dressed today, with a small flower between her eyebrows, wearing a sixteen-layer feather yarn tail long skirt, the crystal white feather yarn was faintly filled with the soft light of pearls, which was inlaid between the layers of feather yarn by skilled craftsmen, and the softness of the pearls eased her own sharpness a little, so the original arrogant demeanor showed a little bit of the delicate beauty of the little daughter, "It's just a widow, I still want to keep you by my side for a few more years." ”

"Really?" Yao Jin pulled the corners of his mouth and sneered silently, "It's because I haven't gone to Wei and Qin yet, and I haven't helped you settle the King of Xishan!"

"Yao Jin, sometimes speaking so sharply may not be of any real benefit, how can your personality not improve a little?" Emperor Li's face did not change, and he still looked like a loving father.

"Oh, that's not as good as this, you first bring me and your relatives to the Wei Kingdom, and when the matter of the King of Xishan is settled, I will come back, and you will marry me to the Fujian State again, at that time, maybe Murong Zihua has turned over and become the emperor of the Fujian State with the Nine Cities and One River, and then I will help you recover the Nine Cities and One River, what do you think of Yao Jin's plan?"

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Li suddenly changed his face and landed on the table with a heavy palm, "Do you think that the widow has to marry you back and forth, and without you, the widow can't succeed?!"

Yao Jin saw Shu Dingshan who became the emperor so angry for the first time, his heart was pounding, but he refused to admit defeat: "Do you have a better and more cost-effective chess piece besides me!"

Silence, as if the silence was about to explode at the touch of a touch, Li Huang didn't say a word, but the majesty of the Son of Heaven shrouded her, Yao Jin's heart was still a little afraid, her heart kept asking herself and comforting herself: What are you afraid of, what is there to be afraid of, the big deal is a life!

But where does she only have one life? She still has Yuebai, as well as Jin Liancheng, whose life and death are uncertain, Li Zheng, who is eyeing her, and even Yang Ying, who lives by her-Yao Jin finally softened, she slowly knelt down, kowtowed three times, and said: "The son is rude, please forgive my father." ”

The emperor was expressionless, just closed his eyes again, and said slowly: "Go down and prepare, don't miss tonight's business." ”

The so-called nine cities and one river does not mean nine cities and one river, but refers to the entire southern region of the Li Dynasty region close to the Min Kingdom, where the climate is similar to the Fujian Kingdom, but because it is on land, there are still four distinct seasons. Because there are many small rivers and lakes in this area, and they are connected with each other, some come from the Neijiang River, and some lead to the South China Sea, so the waterways are developed and the products are abundant, among which Lingzhou, Huizhou and other big cities are prosperous and not inferior to the important towns of the capital. Yao Jin flipped through some information on the nine cities and one river, and also had his own plans in his heart: if the gold and silver could not impress Murong Zihua, then there was no need to hand over all the nine cities and one river at once, and there was also a lot of land south of Linghui, which could be given to Murong Zihua, so it seemed more secure to leave Linghui and Huishan as a fortress.

Long Wan was worried when she saw Yao Jin coming back from the Zichen Palace, she just went to visit Lin Yuebai who woke up, and she stayed in the side hall to flip through the book and read the map, she was a little worried in her heart, and she made a bowl of purple rice porridge hot and hot, this is the third time she has brought it in.

"Your Highness, you barely ate much at today's luncheon, and there is still a long time before dinner, so let's pad your stomach first?"

Yao Jin didn't raise his head, waved his hand and said, "Fortunately, I'm not hungry." You send it to Miss Lin, she didn't eat much at the luncheon. ”

Long Wan had no choice but to retreat, and as soon as she arrived at the door, Yao Jin raised her head and asked, "Has the prince's brother been here?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to the Tai Hospital to get the medicine for Miss Lin, and sent a lot of supplements, saying that he was not available now, and he would come to visit him in the evening. ”

Could it be that this guy also followed the emperor to accompany Murong Zihua? Yao Jin thought about it, the emperor was eager to talk to Murong Zihua, and Li Zheng must be too, but even if he kept following Murong Zihua, it was useless, and the emperor would not give him any chance to be alone with Murong.

Yao Jin thought of Li Zheng's pretending to be serious and impatient, and couldn't help but feel a dark feeling in his heart, so he put down a scroll of maps in his hand and said with a smile, "Then I'm not busy, let's go to Yuebai, I'll eat some porridge with her, I must have more appetite for the beautiful woman." ”

This time, Yao Jin and Lin Yuebai chatted with each other, and Yao Jin told him how to fly flowers, pick peonies, and how to give hairpins to the queen. Lin Yuebai was surprised by Murong Zihua's performance, while sympathizing with Lixin, and on the other hand, she asked Yao Jinna if Prince Murong was interested in her, although Yao Jin's head shook like a rattle, Yang Ying was still excited and nodded again and again, and finally suffered several big eyes from Yao Jin.

That Li Huang accompanied Murong Zihua, and the prince enthusiastically followed him, visiting the garden, drinking tea and playing games. Li Nan, as the great eunuch beside the emperor, did not dare to slack off, and naturally waited carefully everywhere on the side, until dinner time, he did not steal a moment of idle time, while Emperor Li was changing clothes, he hurriedly came out to drink a small sip of hot tea served by the attendant, and asked again and again in his heart: This little Fujian country has no hope of succeeding to the throne of the third prince, accompanied by the prince is already a guest of honor, why is even His Majesty so enthusiastic, where is this like a prince, it is like the king of Fujian!

The dinner was set on the gilded platform, and the main guests were only Emperor Li, Prince Zheng and Murong Zihua, so it was more comfortable than the palace banquet at noon, the prince seemed to like the customs of Fujian very much, and said a lot of interesting things, although Murong Zihua did not show great enthusiasm, but he should also be just right. Li Huang seemed to be in a happy mood, and took out the treasured pear blossom spring wine. This wine originated from the Liao country that had long perished, the process of making the method has long been lost, there are only dozens of cans in the palace, the wine is full of fragrance as soon as it is opened, and the gilded platform is built on a high place, the scenery and the air are already good, the moonlight sprinkles in at night, it is really like the elixir of the fairy pavilion, it is intoxicating.
