At this time, Zixiang came in from outside the door, gently put the tea in his hand on the coffee table next to him, bent his knees slightly towards Yao Jin, and said, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the slaves and maids are afraid that the palace maids in the study are not sensible and do not serve well, so they will all be sent down." The slave and maid are outside the door, and if there is anything to do with Your Highness, call the slave and maid. ”

With that, she withdrew to the door and closed it. At this time, there were only three of them left in the room, and Xuan Nu looked Yao Jin up and down with concern, and unconsciously walked to her side: "I heard that His Royal Highness was not in good health a while ago, but now he is all well?"

"It's all right, it's all right. By the way, I knew you were coming, I drank happily at noon today, and now I don't know how the amount of alcohol has deteriorated, but three or two glasses are almost drunk, but fortunately, Zixiang prepared a sobering tea - well, I am still drinking. Yao Jin sat down with a smile and pushed the pastries in front of him in front of Xuannu, "These are the famous spots of the Qilin Hall in the capital, and the new ones sent in today are all special offerings in the palace, and they can't be eaten outside, and they are similar to Xiao Nanguo - oh no, the taste is different from that in the south, how about you taste it." ”

Seeing that Yao Jin was happy, although she didn't have the appetite for dim sum at the moment, she couldn't bear to brush her mind, so she took a piece and ate two bites, shook her head with a smile, and put it down: "It's so sweet, Xuannu really can't get used to it." ”

"The women of this palace are as sweet as their lives, and they are about the bitterness of life, so they love sweetness. Yao Jin glanced at the pastry, "I miss Lu Tao's craftsmanship a little, her dim sum has always been light and refreshing." ”

Hearing Lu Tao's name, Xuannu's smile was also a little gloomy, and Wang Xiang, who was kneeling in the hall and didn't get up or speak, glanced at it, and said softly: "I haven't cleaned it for some days, and my sister's grave must have grown new grass." ”

Yao Jin saw that Wang Xiang was still silent, so he said to him: "If it wasn't arranged by Your Majesty this time, in fact, I don't want to see you, because I'm afraid that everyone will be sad to see you, and I'm afraid of seeing you like this." Wang Xiang, everything has already settled, you should know better than anyone else that today's situation is already the best situation under the worst outcome - except, except for Fu Jiang......"

Hearing Yao Jin's sad tone, Wang Xiangfang slowly raised his head: "Whether Your Highness sees us or not, as long as you know that Your Highness is okay, I will feel at ease." As His Highness said, everything has settled, even Lord Zhao has gradually accepted this fact, the people of Nine Cities and One River have gradually returned to their old lives, and the little Nanguo that once existed in every inch of the land of Nine Cities and One River has disappeared into the world—but Your Highness!"

Yao Jin's eyelids jumped, and his eyes fell on Wang Xiang's somewhat excited face, he was still so bookish, but he was no longer the former Mr. Xiang, he no longer belonged to Xiao Nanguo, no longer waiting for her in the study of Nanguo Mansion morning and evening, no longer her Zhiduoxing-Yao Jin slowly lowered her eyes, her voice seemed to be a little depressed, but she was extremely calm: "But you Wang Xiang, once had my golden mouth and jade words to wish you to be the king and worship the prime minister, so even if Xiao Nanguo is no more, I am no longer there, but you should not be absent!"

"But the prime minister is only willing to follow His Highness!"

"Bastard!" Yao Jin picked up a tea bowl and smashed it at Wang Xiang, there was a thin blanket on the ground, the tea bowl just wiped Wang Xiang's shoulder and rolled to the side, the tea bowl was not broken, but the tea in the bowl was all sprinkled on his clothes without exception, and instantly a large unsightly tea stain was reflected in Wang Xiang's originally very simple gray and blue robe, and the whole person was a little embarrassed.

"I don't have a choice! When I stepped into this palace city, when His Majesty threw the scroll of the territory of the Xiaonanguo in front of me, I had no choice at that time! I could only hand over the Xiaonanguo-" Yao Jinsan stepped in front of Wang Xiang in two steps and dragged him up, "Because I have no capital, I have no bargaining chips! I can't exchange you and Lin Yuebai's future for the name of the so-called lord of Xiaonanguo! I can't risk everyone's heads landing anytime and anywhere to bet on whether you can come and rescue me!" I also know that Xiao Nanguo does not have the capital to be the enemy of the Li Dynasty at all! But you have a choice, you have! Wang Xiang, you can choose to make meritorious contributions in the court of the Li Dynasty, and you have a full of talents to display! You have a choice, why do you want to say such stupid things and make such a useless choice! You can obviously have a better way to go!"

"But in the future, Xiao Nanguo will definitely be able to fight against the Li Dynasty! As long as Your Highness persists, as long as Your Highness persists! How do you know that we can't, how do you know that we don't want to fall for you-"

Before Wang Xiang's words fell, Yao Jin slapped him heavily in the face. He was a little incredulous, and then wailed: "Your Highness, how do you know that we are not willing to sacrifice our lives for our little southern kingdom like Fu Jiang!

"If you want your life to exchange my empty name as the lord of a small southern country, then am I still a human being? What am I?

"Even if I take the life of my king, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times, I will never regret it, and I will never want to see His Highness locked up in such a place!"

"Even if I had to choose 10,000 times, I would still hand over Xiao Nanguo, because that was my only choice. Yao Jin slowly let go of her hand and slowly walked to a candlestick, her back was to Wang Xiang, her long hair was curled into a crescent shape at the back of her head, and a jade comb carved with a large peony was inserted on it, the cold green jade color made Yao Jin's black hair a little gray, her voice was a little hoarse, and she said softly: "I know, what you said and what you didn't say, I know it in my heart." Just like the few months I spent in this palace city, I could only survive, survived the ridicule and ridicule of the whole world, survived the death of Fu Jiang in front of my eyes, and there may be many unknown sufferings waiting for me in the future - however, since people are alive, no matter what situation they fall into, they should strive to choose the best way to live and live better. Because as long as you are alive, the future is promising-your future has infinite possibilities, in the court, in the history of the Li Dynasty, leave your name as the king, to realize your infinite future - Wangxiang, this is your best choice!"
