Yao Jin walked to the front of the main hall of Zichen Palace, stopped, she looked up at the heavy twilight, and suddenly said, "It's going to be dark." ”

"Yes, today's clouds are dark, I'm afraid it's going to rain, Your Highness be careful about your step-" Li Nan carefully helped Yao Jin across the threshold, seeing that she was holding the sandalwood box tightly in her hand, Li Nan's movements stopped for a moment, and then he straightened out Yao Jin's long skirt more lightly, bowed down and said: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside, and the old slave will not accompany you in." ”

"Well, thank you Anan. ”

After seeing Yao Jin enter the palace, Li Nan's mood became more depressed for no reason, the dull air seemed to make it difficult to breathe, he slowly walked outside the hall, half-squinted at the constantly surging clouds in the sky, gray, white, dark gray or ink, and muttered: "It's going to rain, in this palace, it's going to rain again......"

And at this moment, the main hall of Zichen Hall is brightly lit, and it looks lively and beautiful from a distance, but in the huge hall, except for the emperor Li Yao, who is sitting on the throne, there is actually no one else, and there are only countless candles in the empty hall that are dancing with each other, it seems to be happy and happy, but it is silent to no sound. Yao Jin once again felt that the atmosphere of this Zichen Hall was strange and depressing, she only walked a few steps, but far away from the eyes of the people on the throne, she did not want to move forward, raised the thing in her hand above her head, and slowly knelt down with her legs bent until her forehead touched the ground, Yao Jin felt a hazy luster on the oily and shiny floor, which seemed to make her heart settle again, so she closed her eyes and said loudly:

"Minister Li Yaojin, I would like to give your Majesty a congratulatory gift to the nine cities, one river and thirteen counties of Xiaonanguo, just to welcome the Lin family Yuebai to the throne of the queen!

Silence, the density of the air suddenly became very large, and it was so heavy that it was difficult to breathe. Yao Jin's words were like small gravels thrown into the sea, silent, and there was no response. On the high dragon chair, Li Yao didn't speak, and no sound came, he seemed to be waiting, or maybe he felt that Yao Jin's words were not sincere enough- Of course, Yao Jin knew how familiar an emperor was with using silence to narrow the distance between himself and his subordinates, to intimidate his courtiers into seeking something, at this moment she suddenly remembered the first emperor, and thought of how she saw the first emperor and his subordinates fighting in this hall when she was a female official in the Zichen Palace, and suddenly she felt that this person in the main hall at this moment was really far better than the first emperor.

Okay, since even Xiao Nanguo gave it to you, why should I care about my poor dignity! Yao Jin bit her lip fiercely, dragging her knees step by step, her luxurious clothes dragged on the smooth floor, very slow, and painful, the road of several meters seemed to take several hours, when she finally knelt on the carpet, the extremely soft brocade carpet, the fabric and its friction made a hissing sound, like a poisonous snake spitting out a scarlet letter, and slashed down on Yao Jin's heart, and like a kitten's sharp teeth slowly gnawing at her heart, fine and continuous pain. It wasn't until Li Yao said "okay" softly that Yao Jin stopped moving, and the hot pain on his knees, about the torn wound and the material of the underwear, stuck to his knees greasy, very uncomfortable. Yao Jin subconsciously glanced at his knees, then gently put down the sandalwood box in his hand, leaned over to the ground, and said, "Thank you for Your Majesty's grace, long live Your Majesty." ”

"Where's the twist?"

"The folds and the territory of the Little South are all in this box. ”

"Present it. ”

Yao Jin's lips were already bitten and were about to bleed, she took a deep breath, calmly answered "yes", got up and put the sandalwood box in front of Li Yao's case, and then returned to the hall to kneel. She didn't even raise her eyes during the whole process, and Li Yao didn't move his gaze to her for half a minute, the two of them were like two conjoined babies who had grown together for many years and finally separated, familiar with each other, but they hated each other so much that they didn't even want to look at each other.

Li Yao carefully inspected the territory of Xiaonanguo presented by Yao Jin, this territory was originally made by someone he sent, but at this time he still looked very carefully, and Yao Jin kept kneeling underneath and never moved. When Li Yao saw somewhere, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he asked, "What about the Arrow Islands?"

Yao Jin looked up in surprise, and only after a moment did she say, "That's not yours." The Alor Islands don't belong to me, and they don't belong to you!

Looking at her fierce gaze, Li Yao couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so nervous? It's just a few small islands, and the widow doesn't care about it, so let's go to the small island country of Fujian." ”

Yao Jin ignored him, lowered his head again, and remained silent. After another half a pillar of incense, at this time Li Yao had already finished reading the layout and the fold, because the content on the fold was short and clear, and it was the same as what Yao Jin said when he entered the hall, he had no doubt, so he rolled the map carefully and put it back in the box, looked up and asked: "Yao Jin, where are you going to go after that?"

Yao Jin didn't raise his head and said: "Where am I going, what does it have to do with you, Your Majesty the Emperor!"

"Of course it matters! Your golden book and jade seal are all there, and you are still the princess of Heya of the Li Dynasty - oh no, now that you are the eldest princess of the widow, your stay has a lot to do with the widow. ”

Yao Jin raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, "I have peeled off my skin, removed my bones, and drank blood, do I have anything else on my body that you Li Yao can use? Are you still willing to let me go?"

Li Yao smiled playfully and replied, "How can the imperial sister say that? You are the eldest princess of the widow, and of course the widow hopes that you can live well." ”

Yao Jin tilted his head and glanced at him, ignoring him. Li Yao was not angry, and said generously: "Okay, since you have known the widow for many years, the widow will not bend with you." You Yao Jin really have nothing to worry about, but as long as you are still Yao Jin, there are things worth paying attention to in you. ”

"Where?"

"Because Yao Jin is not only the eldest princess Yao Jin, you are also the best friend of the widowed queen Lin Yuebai, and the word Yao Jin is probably the most concerned name of Yuebai in the world at this moment. Now that she is pregnant, if you can stay in the palace to accompany her, and you can happily be your eldest princess, safe and rich, with your best friends by your side, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Yao Jin seemed to be a little surprised, but then he was very angry, struggled to stand up, held his aching knee, and said loudly: "She is pregnant, but you will let her be locked up in that place without a name and no point, you, you are really vicious!"

"The widow also just learned that she is pregnant!Yao Jin, don't be too presumptuous!" Li Yao's face suddenly changed, and his cold gaze fell on Yao Jin, "The widow can calmly listen to your presumptuous words for so long, just because it is for the sake of Yuebai's face!"

Yao Jin laughed, she felt ridiculous, and felt pathetic, turned around and looked around, as if she wanted to ask someone next to her, but there was obviously no one around, so she said to Li Yao again: "For Yuebai's sake? I'm afraid that Yuebai will be the first to oppose your idea! Presumably she doesn't know at all, you are thinking about her like this!"

"Naturally, she was not in good health, but now that she is pregnant at the beginning of her life, she is still unstable, and she thinks a lot, where do you want to get so much-" Li Yao slowly stood up, "Yao Jin, putting aside the matter between you and the widow, don't you really want to accompany Yuebai, just like you did back then, watching her and her children grow up day by day and spend a good life together......"
