Tianzhu, Mengzhou Mansion, the regent princess received a summons from the Central Plains, from Jinling to Tianzhu, Guanshan thousands of miles, even the carrier pigeon passing through the post station also walked for 20 days.

The princess received the news,

"Ancestor worship, is it time for the annual festival again?"

The Great Sacrifice is a common event of the descendants of the Zhao family of the Song Dynasty, when the Hai Song Dynasty opened the country and set the system of expanding the territory and sealing the territory, in order to avoid the future with more and more feudal princes around the country, the fief is getting farther and farther away, and the centripetal force of the central court of the Great Song Dynasty gradually disappears with the distance and time, so the court has set up this annual princes around the Zhao descendants, even if they are thousands of miles away, they must send their immediate family members to participate in the ceremony.

Over the centuries, the Grand Festival has evolved into an extremely important form of strengthening ties between the central court and neighboring vassal states, as well as presenting the image of each country.

As the central court, it naturally attaches great importance to this kind of thing, and every time it is a big deal, it is necessary to show the authority of the central court in front of the princes and declare the existence of sovereignty. But it is difficult to say about the following vassal states, sometimes some countries are naturally willing to participate in this occasion, after all, the same vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty, this is also an important diplomatic occasion, between the princes, whether it is political or economic, there are many times this kind of demand.

However, some subject countries do not necessarily think so, relatively speaking, they are more willing to get rid of the influence of this behemoth and live their own small life.

Tianzhu, as one of the three overseas feudatories of the Great Song Dynasty, should set up a special envoy group to go to Jinling in the Central Plains to participate in the big sacrifice ceremony according to the regulations, after all, if you want to go, Tianzhu is not only the Anwang domain, and the other Hou Bozi Nan are going to go according to the regulations, but the trouble is that who wants the head of this envoy group to be.

Zhao Jieyu herself, of course it is not feasible, the lord of a country, of course, cannot be moved lightly, she doesn't even have a child now, even if she can't find a suitable person in the country?

As for the brothers and sisters, that's impossible, her brothers who are strong enough are all in prison now, and the Imperial Senate has not yet expressed its attitude on the matter of her eldest princess, and the two families are still frozen here. How could she send her brother to Jinling, wasn't that giving away the handle that could threaten her position?

But it doesn't seem good not to participate, and the opportunity is rare.

Zhao Jieyu is only a regent after all, for example, this big ceremony is an excellent diplomatic occasion, if the envoy arrives in Jinling, if it works well, it may not be able to dredge up the relationship with the Imperial Senate, so that the Son of Heaven and the Senate will agree with her as the regent, and straighten her position to be the queen of Tianzhu and the king of Nu'an.

This is Zhao Jieyu's own careful thoughts, after all, she is a woman, she always cares more about other people's opinions, regent, regent, no matter how the name sounds, it doesn't sound good, I always feel that this son is not coming from the right way, in addition to this big ceremony, where is there a better opportunity to communicate with the Son of Heaven and the Senate.

Is it better to let Li Zhe go out? No, as soon as this idea came out, Zhao Jieyu herself vetoed herself and let Li Zhe go to the Central Plains, it was too dangerous, Li Zhe's identity was different, and I don't know if the Jinling Imperial Court found it, if they have found it, this is definitely a meat bun beating a dog, and it will never go back.

Zhao Jieyu tried her best to put herself in, and finally managed to trap this stranger around her, how could she let him be taken away by others.

The last time that Yu Hongchen came to test Li Zhe, he almost scared Zhao Jieyu into a cold sweat, but fortunately, Li Zhe didn't know how at that time, he was clever, and he escaped the temptation carefully prepared by Yu Hongchen.

Since I missed that time, it is said that the imperial court should no longer doubt it, after all, there are too many people in this world, even if the department of the imperial court is strong, it is impossible to waste manpower and material resources on Li Zhe's head all the time.

If he Zhao Jieyu hadn't been in charge of this mysterious department of King An's domain at the same time, and he was personally mentioned by his own father, I am afraid that he would not have been able to think of Li Zhe so easily.

This kind of alien thing is too bizarre.

If it weren't for Wu Zong himself to pass down this secret, I'm afraid no one would have guessed it in normal times.

Who would have thought that there would be such a person in this world?

Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is a bit feasible to let Li Zhe go, after all, the only one who can really reassure her about this whole Tianzhu business is Li Zhe.

Zhao Jieyu simply has a feeling that no matter what is in this world, as long as it is handed over to Li Zhe, there is simply nothing that Li Zhe can't do.

Unconsciously, the princess almost developed a disease, Li Zhe's dependence.

Speaking of which, it has been half a year since Li Zhe arrived in Yanzhou, and the princess has almost sorted out the mess he left in Mengzhou Mansion.

Whether it is a canal or a gold mine, they are all excellent bargaining chips, and with this bargaining chip, the princess has already taken care of all the people who were dissatisfied in the Anwang Domain, and it is time for Li Zhe to come back and get married.

Get married!

Even the eldest princess Zhao Jieyu didn't know how many times she had thought about it in private.

Zhao Jieyu looked at the lotus flowers in the pond, it was the middle of summer again, and the lotus flowers in the pond were blooming refreshingly.

"Squire! Do you miss Li Zhe? ”

The servant sword serving next to him was stunned when he heard this, obviously the princess thought about it, why didn't she ask about this without care.

"I didn't think about it, why should I think about it?"

Zhao Jieyu smiled, this girl, I still remember the awkward thing between Li Zhe and her.

"Why don't you want to, Shi Jian, don't forget, when the time comes, the palace will marry Li Zhe, and then you will also accompany the palace to marry? That's your husband, too. ”

Two blushes immediately appeared on the sword's face,

"If you don't marry, if you don't marry, if you don't marry, even if the princess marries, I won't accompany me, at most, I will go to Li Zhe's mansion to make trouble with him, so that he can't eat the princess, so that he was such a bastard at the beginning?"

"Huh?"

When the princess heard the word "bastard" in the sword, she was furious, and her pretty face was frosty,

"Presumptuous! Shijian, I think I'm too indulgent to you, to the future colt, to the husband of the palace, how can you be so reckless, you don't forget your identity. ”

"Yes!"

As soon as the princess was angry, the sword was immediately silent, and immediately turned over and knelt on the ground.

"I'm sorry, the sword is vain, please punish the princess!"

"Humph!"

The eldest princess snorted,

"Punishment, I remember, and when I have a chance to watch out for your skin in the future."

"Yes!"

The sword was aggrieved.
