This night, although Lin Yaxin was curious about what he said to Sister Yun in the afternoon, he would also say that since he was avoiding what she said, Li Yiqian would definitely not tell him. So she didn't bother to think about it, but her heart was still a little tickled like a cat. But thinking about tomorrow, she still told herself to rest early, so as not to lose energy tomorrow.

The next day, Li Yiqian accompanied Lin Yaxin to hang out in the palace. As they walked, they came to the Plum Garden, the place where they "met" for the first time. It's summer, and the scenery in the plum garden isn't as good as it is in winter. It's just that for the two of them, this place is different.

Walking in, Lin Yaxin seemed to instantly think of the first time she came here. At that time, he was still a high emperor to her, he made her dance, he painted for her; At this time, he was the one she was determined to spend time with. At that time, she was still full of apprehension and doubt; At this time, her heart was only full of happiness and joy. Thinking of what she looked like at that time, Lin Yaxin couldn't help but chuckle.

Similarly, Li Yiqian is also full of nostalgia for this place. At that time, he could only use the excuse of letting her dance to satisfy his heart's thirst; At this moment, he hugged her with their child. At that time, his heart was filled with uncertainty about their future; At this moment, his body and mind are filled with a sense of peaceful happiness.

"I thought I had made a painting at that time, and Xin'er didn't throw it away." Collecting the thoughts in his head, Li Yiqian said half-jokingly.

"How could it be thrown away, that was the first painting you gave me."

"Then you have to keep it well, don't let me down! My affection for you is all in that painting. Li Yiqian looked at Lin Yaxin affectionately.

Listening to his sensual words, Lin Yaxin couldn't help but be a little shy, but she still nodded.

Looking at the woman beside him who was blushing because of his words, Li Yiqian's heart moved. "You're so cute."

Lin Yaxin glanced at him coquettishly, although she was ashamed and angry in her heart, she didn't let go of his hand. Along the way, he held his hand tightly, for fear that there would be some accidents. I knew what he meant, how could I take the initiative to let go.

On this morning, the two walked hand in hand through many places in the palace. Including places with special memories and of course more places in general. On weekdays, she feels that there is nothing worth seeing in the palace, but with Li Yiqian by her side today, she feels that even if she is bored to hang out, she will feel extremely sweet.

Time passed quickly, and Li Yiqian knew that Lin Yaxin was heavy now, and he was afraid that coming out for a long time would make her legs uncomfortable, so he took her back to Yuquan Palace when he saw that it was about to heat up. Back in the palace, Mama Lu had already prepared food, and the food suitable for pregnant women specially prepared for Lin Yaxin had the effect of cooling off the heat and would not hurt the body too cold.

After sitting here for a while, Li Yiqian went back first under the pretext that there was something in the Qiangong, and Lin Yaxin asked him to leave very understandingly, without worrying about himself. What she didn't notice was that before leaving, Li Yiqian quietly glanced at Mama Lu, and only after receiving Mama Lu's knowing eyes did she leave with confidence.

In the afternoon, many places in the palace were busy, especially the Tsinghua Palace. The evening is the reception banquet for the envoys of Lan and Yingguo, Wu Yuyan has been busy with this matter for the past few days, except for the rumors yesterday morning when she went out for a while, the rest of the time she almost arranged the palace banquet in the Qinghua Palace.

Even if he took over the investigation of rumors, this afternoon was still dominated by the reception banquet. And after returning to the palace yesterday, in order to prevent useful clues from being destroyed, she launched an investigation in time, and later with Wen Lin's secret help, most of the things have been investigated clearly. I just wait for the final inventory, but these are not as important as the reception banquet, because it involves the face of the country, and no one can afford the unexpected consequences.

And the other concubines who attended the reception banquet were naturally trying to find ways to dress themselves, after all, for many people, there are not many opportunities to see Li Yiqian like tonight, especially after Lin Yaxin entered the palace. Now that Lin Yaxin is pregnant, they naturally have to work hard to attract Li Yiqian's attention, if this is successful, it will be glory and wealth, of course, if it is not successful, there will be no loss.

In the evening, those who were qualified to participate in the banquet had already arrived at the Xinghe Palace where the banquet was held. It was built specifically for large banquets, and its area was more than three times larger than that of the Changxing Hall, where banquets were held in the palace. Because this is a state affair, officials and their families above the third rank of the DPRK and their families are also attended, and the palace concubines also need to go to the division of the third rank.

The first to arrive were some people of relatively low status, and they chatted in groups. It wasn't until the time was almost up that the high-ranking envoys of the Lan Kingdom and the Eagle Kingdom followed Li Yiqian to the Xinghe Palace. They didn't enter the palace late, they just went to Li Yiqian's place first, and they came with them at this time. Also coming with him was the Queen Mother.

Seeing Li Yiqian coming, everyone hurriedly saluted. Li Yiqian asked everyone to be polite with a smile on his face, and helped the Queen Mother to walk towards the highest throne. The people below sat in their respective positions according to their position. What is surprising is that the position belonging to Lin Yaxin is vacant.

"This Xin Zhaoyi really doesn't understand the rules, and the reception banquet for receiving foreign envoys can be late." Zhao Qin complained bluntly. Although she spoke in a very small voice, she still let Liu Yuyang, who was standing next to her, hear it, and explained her with a smile: "Don't talk about Sister Concubine De, Sister Xin is pregnant, be careful." ”

"Hmph, can't so many of us compare to her alone?!" Zhao Qinyue was even more uncomfortable in her heart.

Just when Li Yiqian sat down and was about to announce the opening of the banquet, Zhao Qinyue suddenly said loudly: "Your Majesty, the concubine sees that Sister Xin has not come yet, do you want to send someone to see what happened?" ”

As soon as her words came out, she couldn't help but be the queen mother, and even the officials and envoys from the two countries sitting below were a little displeased. A palace concubine is late for the reception banquet, isn't this a clear slap in the face? The civil officials really don't understand the rules when they come out of their homes. Some officials in Huaguo have great hostility towards Xin Zhaoyi, who is now the favorite harem.

"Well, send someone to see what happened to make her late for such an important occasion today." Lin Yaxin belongs to the harem in the end, so the Queen Mother spoke before Li Yiqian, and everyone had no opinions.

Some people's eyes showed a good show, including the envoys of the two countries, and the battle in the harem of Huaguo was fought for the state banquet, which was really interesting.

Just when the Queen Mother's order was about to be passed out, Wu Yuyan stood up. "Back to the emperor, the queen mother, before the banquet, Zixing of Yuquan Palace hurriedly ran to tell the concubine that Xin Zhaoyi suddenly felt weak, and had already asked the royal doctor to go back to see him, I am afraid that he will not be able to attend the palace banquet. So I specially sent someone to tell the concubine, and the concubine saw that Zixing was sweating urgently, and asked her to hurry back to take care of Sister Xin. ”

"In that case, then don't bother with that." The Queen Mother spoke, and naturally no one said this anymore.

At the end of the day, the palace banquet officially began.

The envoys of the Lan Kingdom and the Eagle Kingdom stood in the center and saluted Li Yiqian, expressing the greetings of the emperors of various countries to the Chinese Emperor. Li Yiqian also politely asked them to sit down. After a while, someone from Lan Guo's side suddenly stood up. Except for the people of Arashi, the rest of the people looked at that person in confusion.

I saw that he first bowed, and then said in a fluent common language: "A few days ago, my country asked your country a difficult question, dare to ask His Majesty the Emperor, do you know if there is a capable person who can help us solve our doubts?" ”

Yesterday afternoon, he was suddenly told by the imperial brother that he had raised the problem of the chaotic chess game with the emperor of Huaguo, although he didn't like him to make a claim, but he quickly understood the imperial brother's thoughts. After all, having been imprisoned by them for so long, it is understandable that he wants to take revenge. What's more, this kind of thing can make Huaguo ugly, and of course he is happy to see it. So there was no reluctance to bring it up at this time.

Those who knew looked at him with embarrassment, and those who didn't look at him with a blank face. Among them, military generals like Liu Shiyuan are the mainstay, but looking at the ugly expressions of those ministers, I know that things are not going very well.

"Dare to ask the envoy of Languo, I don't know what question you are asking? Why is there no mention of this in the official letter? Although I was unhappy that the emperor was hiding it from them, this was a public occasion, and protecting the country's face was the first priority. The implication of his words is that this should not be a "problem" that you Lan people deliberately came up with to lose the face of Huaguo.

"Our imperial brother has already communicated with the emperor of your country on this matter, and this general will know as soon as he asks that my Lan country will not lie about such a trivial matter." The envoy saw that Liu Shiyuan's words were very accusatory, so he was not very polite when he spoke to him.

"There are a lot of capable people in my country, a chaotic chess game is not difficult for us, in time, we will definitely be able to find someone who can break this game, the envoy of Languo should not be too anxious." Wang Song, as the head of civil officials, naturally wants to stand up and speak on this occasion.

It wasn't until now that those people in the harem were really sure that the chess game that Lin Yaxin said yesterday was true. Because most of them were born in military generals' families, they didn't care much about watching those civil officials make a fool of themselves at this time.

"How many capable people are there? How could it be that a small chaotic chess game could not be solved! The envoy of the Lan State had already been prompted, and at this time, he vigorously mocked the incompetence of the officials of the Chinese State.
