Although Yao Jin knew the poem, he was limited to the general literal, and he was not very clear about the specific sources and allusions. She saw Emperor Li with a look of approval on her face, and felt that it was not good for her not to say something next to her, but she was really not good at poetry, and she was afraid of making many mistakes, so she smiled after thinking about it: "Since the lord of Lixin County happens to be a peony, why don't you give her this flower from your father?"

"Naturally, it is to be given, but it is not such a gift. The emperor patted Yao Jin's hand dotingly, and said to Murong Zihua: "The third prince of Murong, this county lord of Lixin, is the county lord of the mansion of the widow's sister Xunyang Eldest Princess, and she is also the candidate for the imperial concubine carefully selected by the widow for the third prince, her temperament, appearance and virtue are all superior in my Li Dynasty clan." At this time, the beauty is in front of her, and the aria is a delicate peony, why don't the three princes give this peony to the beauty, which is in response to the sentence that the prince just received, "there are flowers that can be folded and must be folded". ”

Murong Zihua got up in response, walked to Yao Jin's side, and broke off the flowers on the peony in the bottle, but instead of going to Lixin, he looked at Yao Jin and said: "Only the peony is true to the country, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom." Peony is the most noble category of flowers, and it should be given to the most noble lady of heaven present today, Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

After that, Murong Zihua bowed, gently placed the peony on Yao Jin's hand, and raised his eyes to look at Yao Jin slightly, how gentle his eyes were, and such a handsome guy with a dashing demeanor, Yang Ying was excited to see it below, his face was red, and he felt that the flower was too lucky, and he hated to turn himself into a petal. And Princess Ya, who seemed to be the most enviable in the audience, didn't react at all, and was motionless on the spot like a wood, fortunately when Yao Jin's somewhat dazed eyes fell on Lixin below, seeing the girl's ashamed face, biting her lip as if she was about to bite blood, and her sister Taili County Lord on the table also frowned slightly worriedly, and the eldest princess Xunyang was even more gloomy on one side, Yao Jin finally came back to his senses, and didn't even look at Murong Zihua, hurriedly put the flower in front of the queen, knelt down and said:" After the peony is a flower, although it was given by the three princes of Murong, the sons felt that this flower was the most compatible with the queen mother, and came to make hairpins for the queen mother. ”

Yao Jin's words can be regarded as being in a hurry, and he is reasonable, and it also makes up for a little bit of Lixin's face. And Murong Zihua's expression was natural, and there was no objection, Emperor Li also nodded slightly, Yao Jingang was distracted, but unexpectedly, the Murong prince next to him suddenly said again: "Now the princess is not the queen, naturally it is the most suitable for the queen to wear this flower, and after the princess is called in the future, it will naturally be the most compatible with the peony." ”

Are you sick?!Yao Jin couldn't help but roar in his heart, and hurriedly looked at the queen, hoping that she would quickly nod her head and put the hairpin in her head and finish the play quickly.

In fact, there was nothing to do with the queen here, but now Yao Jin suddenly turned her focus to her, which made her a little confused, seeing that everyone had no objection, the queen had to nod, and the hairpin was like this hot potato "after the flower".

After a palace banquet, Yao Jin didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food or drink a few glasses of wine, but he was tired as if he had climbed a mountain. Seeing that the palace banquet was over, she was about to hurry back to Chenghuan Xiaozhu to see the situation of Yuebai, and then digest the amount of information that was a bit large today, but Li Nan came head-on.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, Your Majesty invites you to go to the Zichen Palace. ”

"Did my father say anything?"

"Not really, I guess I want to talk to the princess. ”

Li Nan had his usual smiling face, but Yao Jin snorted twice in his heart: "Homely, I think it's a report on the daily work of the family!" She touched Yang Ying next to her and said, "You go back and see that Xia Yue Baike has woken up, watch over her, and then let Long Wan wait for me outside the Zichen Palace." ”

"Yes. ”

"Let's go, Nan Gonggong. ”

When Yao Jin arrived at the Zichen Palace, Emperor Li had not yet returned, and Li Nan had already received orders, and had dismissed the palace people in the inner hall in advance, and he himself had withdrawn. Yao Jin stood directly under the dragon chair, fiddling with the waterwheel on the rockery, and suddenly remembered the first time she came to Zichen Palace, as if it was just yesterday, she was wearing the clothes of a palace maid, and she couldn't raise her head and knelt at the door, groveling and embarrassed. From that day to this moment, it has only been a few months, but Yao Jin's side has already undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Here you are, sit down. ”

Yao Jin heard this familiar and unfamiliar voice, as if a long time ago, every time she entered Shu Dingshan's office, that person would also say, you are here, sit. But where should she sit at this moment? Yao Jin looked at the chairs next to him, and when ministers came to discuss matters in the past, they were all sitting there, and Yao Jin felt a relative: I am just one of your courtiers.

Seeing that Yao Jin was stunned, Li Huang ignored it, took a sip of the tea on the table, and said slowly: "Told him?"

"Above the main hall, there is no suitable opportunity, tomorrow I will have a banquet in Chenghuan Xiaozhu, and I will talk to him again. ”

"Between today and tomorrow, there are still a dozen hours, how do you make sure he doesn't say something to others?"

"Not to mention whether anyone believes him or not, even if he wants to say it, who will he tell him? And it is difficult to guarantee his own identity, but he is also a prince-"

"But the widow is the emperor. Emperor Li put down the teacup heavily, and said in a low voice: "The identity of the royal family is the most intolerant of the slightest deviation, not to mention the emperor himself, do you know that as long as there is a chance now, the king of Xishan will rebel at any time!"

Yao Jin was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Is the situation already so tense......

Emperor Li slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "The widow has left him in the gilded platform in the palace, and he will visit the Ten Thousand Gardens with him later, play chess and drink tea, and then have dinner." Remember, at the end of dinner, Li Nan will go to send you a Buddha jumping over the wall, the Buddha jumping over the wall is a famous dish in Fujian, and then you will go to the gilded platform on the grounds of sending the Buddha to jump over the wall, be sure to get things done!"

"The question is, why did he promise me?" Yao Jin frowned, "This person is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if he asks for any unusual conditions, Your Majesty, will you give me the permission to promise him?

......

Li Huang closed his eyes, he was thinking about every possibility, thinking about every way to deal with it, and after a long time, he finally opened his eyes: "At most, you can allow him, nine cities and one river." ”

Yao Jin was stunned, and asked rhetorically in an unbelievable tone: "Nine cities and one river are the most important places for commerce and trade in the south, the waterways are developed and the area is wide, among which there are two important towns in Huiling, and Huishan is the plug in the south of the Li Dynasty, if these places are not given to the Min State, then what barriers are there between the Li Dynasty and the Min State?"

"If the king of Xishan is reversed, there will be no barrier in the entire north, and then the Wei State can drive directly to the south, which is more important, strong Wei and the small Min State?"
