Section 21 The eldest princess Yao Jin

On the eighth day of the sixth month, Li Yao, the new emperor of the Li Dynasty, ascended the throne and changed the name of the year to Yong'an, which is also known as the first year of Yong'an. Yao Jin entered the palace as the eldest princess to congratulate and watch the ceremony, and among the royal relatives who were qualified to enter the palace, she was the only one who had the closest blood relationship with the new emperor, and because she was now the lord of the Xiaonan Kingdom, her identity was naturally noble and abnormal, and even the time she entered the palace, the people next to her were all staggered.

The carriage into the palace to the street near the palace, Yao Jin got off the carriage and transferred to the wide step with bead curtains hanging on all sides, under the body was covered with a cushion made of ice silk finely braided, sixteen tassels of golden steps hung neatly behind the head and on both sides, the black hair was all coiled up, tied to the top of the head with a gold crown, the earrings on both sides were carved from a whole piece of mutton fat white jade A pair of diamond-shaped earrings with auspicious cloud patterns, and then inlaid with fine tourmaline beads on the lines, under the heavy and gorgeous ornaments, Yao Jin seemed to feel that even his ears were going to be torn apart, the closer he got to the palace, the more depressed he felt, and it seemed that even every breath felt laborious, but Yao Jin still tried her best to maintain the dignity that an eldest princess should have, she could feel the curious eyes of people from both sides of the road far away, almost every onlooker tried their best to see the legendary eldest princess of the Buyu, she was twenty years old, she was still in the boudoir, she had the highest level of identity in the world, power, vast and prosperous territory and endless wealth, how could such a woman be summed up by the words "the proud woman of the sky"? People's envious eyes have turned to Yao Jin's steps, but with a girl's face, there is only one woman in her heart who is over thirty-five years old, who has endured hardships but has lost a lot, as if she has gone through most of her life. When she stepped into the gate of the palace again, and saw again these palace buildings, pavilions, walls and tiles that she should be familiar with but did not want to remember at all, the past that she thought she had forgotten long ago rushed to her in an instant.

Seven years ago, she came into this world out of nowhere, and five years ago, she left this place in puff to pursue the freedoms she had longed for. However, five years have passed, and now she no longer dares to say absolutely, never again, because every absolute and eternal she has said has been ruthlessly slapped in the face by reality, ruthlessly torn apart and thrown on the ground, and can no longer be picked up. She finally understood that in this world, no matter how hard she tried, she had never gotten the kind of freedom she wanted, and although the years of indulging in crying and laughing were pitiful, now they were finally gone, what would her future be? Yao Jin glanced back at the endless palace wall, and felt dazed and a little scared for the first time in his heart.

Because Yao Jin came back as the eldest princess this time, it was naturally the harem that entered first. Although there has been no news in the palace recently, she thought that Li Yao had ascended the throne, Lin Yuebai should have entered the harem as the queen, even if she had not yet been sealed, she must have a very high status in this layer of palace walls, she would definitely know the news of the eldest princess's entry into Beijing to congratulate her, and she would definitely let the eunuch lead her to see her first. Thinking of this, Yao Jin's heart was a little more expectant, but the two little eunuchs led her all the way, she didn't see the two little girls beside Lin Yuebai to greet her, and most of the eunuchs and palace maids she met along the way were eye-catching, and occasionally one or two were slightly familiar, but they avoided it in fear the moment their eyes touched. Yao Jin didn't care about this, the group walked to the vicinity of Wan Huayuan, she stopped and looked at this almost the most beautiful and exquisite garden in the world, remembering the reunion with Lin Yue in the White House here, at that time Li Zheng was still the prince, Li Jiaoqian was still the palm of the King of Xishan, and Emperor Li at that time was still protecting himself, although they had already had dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction at that time, everything was still complete and beautiful, but now- Yao Jin looked at the sky in the north, at this time, the hot breath of the south, can he fly over thousands of mountains and rivers to the icy and snowy Wei land? Are Long Wan and Li Zheng okay in the Snow Clan? I heard that Li Jiaoqian has been in the Changqing Palace to the Yuan Concubine, has she forgotten that she was the county lord of the Li Dynasty? And that person, the person who always suddenly appears in front of her and always overwhelms her, Wen Zihua, is he okay......

Seeing that Yao Jin seemed to be stuck in a memory, the little eunuch who led the way didn't dare to urge, and waited quietly aside, when suddenly a familiar figure approached quickly not far away, Yao Jin took a closer look, and found that it was Li Nan who came.

"Knock on Her Royal Highness the eldest princess! Old slave Li Nan, knock on Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Li Nan was a little excited, and when he knelt down, he was also a little trembling.

Yao Jin hadn't seen Li Nan for a long time, and when he saw that his hair had turned a lot whiter, he pulled him up cordially and said with a smile: "Anan, I haven't seen you for a long time, this has always been good?"

Li Nan heard Yao Jin call him "Anan", and suddenly burst into tears, wiped the corners of his eyes and replied: "Her Royal Highness Princess Xie is worried, everything is fine with the old slave." It's just that the first emperor is gone, and the old slave's heart is empty......"

Yao Jin paused, turned his head to look in the direction of Zhengjin Palace, and hung his head for a moment in silence. After a while, she raised her head and saw that Li Nan was still dressed in the uniform of a great eunuch, so she said: "Anan, you are still the great eunuch next to the new emperor, it can be seen that the first emperor and the new emperor still value you." ”

"That's Your Majesty now, and I still see the old slave's old bones, the old slave is grateful, but ......" Li Nan wanted to speak and stopped, and after a while, he finally wiped away his tears and raised his head and straightened his chest, glared at the two little eunuchs who led the way, and said loudly: "Two little rabbit cubs, how can you serve Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and let Her Royal Highness stand under this big sun!

The two little eunuchs were stunned, looked left and right, there was no shady road around here, and the road they took was not wrong!

Li Nan raised his foot and kicked the little eunuch who was closer to him: "Why don't you go to get an umbrella?"

The little eunuch reacted, hurriedly pulled his companion to salute, and ran away in a puff of smoke. Yao Jin knew that Li Nan was deliberately supporting the two of them, so he walked up to Li Nan and whispered, "Anan, do you want to say something to Princess Ben?"

Li Nan shook his head slowly: "No, Your Highness, the old slave is following His Majesty's will to take you to meet someone." Please come with the old slave. ”

Yao Jin was followed by the dumb maids from the Nanguo Mansion, she thought about it, and asked the dumb maids to settle elsewhere with Li Nan's men, and she followed Li Nan towards another path. I don't know how long I walked, these roads were all unknown to Yao Jin, the road became narrower and narrower, and the farther and farther, Yao Jin only felt that the trees were dense and the surrounding environment was becoming more and more quiet. Turning a cobblestone path that was too narrow to be narrower, Yao Jin's eyes suddenly opened up: an extremely delicate courtyard came into view, with white walls, ink tiles, and the architectural style of this palace that was extremely incompatible, and there were two young little eunuchs guarding the door, and they were not surprised to see that Li Nan was coming, so they stepped forward and saluted: "Nan Gonggong, you are here." ”

Li Nan nodded, and said to Yao Jin: "Your Highness, it is inconvenient for the old slave here to go along, please go in by yourself, there are naturally people waiting for you." ”

Seeing that Yao Jin was a little hesitant, Li Nan said again: "Your Highness, rest assured, the old slave will always be waiting here, no matter when Your Highness comes out, no matter how late it is, the old slave will be waiting for you here, and then accompany you to see Your Majesty." ”

At this time, Yao Jin had already guessed who the people in this courtyard were, although he didn't understand why this was happening, but he didn't have time to think about it, nodded and walked quickly towards the door.
