An Riyan, who was depressed due to Meishuang's accidental fall into the water, took the purple ribbon gold seal of the "pro-Qin Wawang" given by Xiao Luo himself, and added countless rewards such as silk and silk cloth, a specialty of Qin, indicating that it opened a precedent for exchanges between the two countries.

So far, An Riyan has successfully completed the task.

Princess Ziqing, who was locked up by him before he left, was excited when she heard that he had returned safely, and surrounded An Riyan to ask long and short questions.

Thinking of Ziqing's bad idea on Meishuang, An Riyan was unwilling to deal with her too much, seeing An Riyan's depressed and absent-minded expression, Princess Ziqing said strangely, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" You should be happy that this mission has been successfully completed."

Seeing that An Riyan still couldn't lift her spirits, she leaned close to An Riyan's ear as if she wanted to verify something, "Brother, I heard that the woman surnamed Lin also went with you, why didn't you see her come back?" ”

An Riyan glanced at her and said angrily, "Why are you asking this?" ”

Ziqing was a little annoyed, "Have you taken gun medicine?" I didn't come back, but I died and pulled down, hum! ”

Princess Ziqing felt that she had said too much, and An Riyan asked her with a gloomy face, "Who did you hear that she was sick?" ”

"Not really!" Princess Ziqing disguised, "Isn't it sick if you don't come back?" ”

An Riyan closed her eyes, "She, never come back"

Princess Ziqing originally got a word from Concubine Chen, and she wanted to take this opportunity to inquire about Meishuang's true condition, but now when she heard it, she was simply a wish, and suddenly her face couldn't hide the surprise, and there was a layer of shyness, "Brother, I think about it, I want to stay"

An Riyan was too lazy to deal with Ziqing's self-inflicted affection for the emperor of the Great Qin State, and only cared about his own thoughts.

This time, he came to visit the Great Qin State and brought a handwritten letter from Queen Himiko, which had two meanings, one was to request the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Great Qin State and send envoys to each other; The second is that it is inevitable for the Yamatai State to swallow up the Donglai Kingdom, and I hope that the Great Qin State will not interfere with them.

In exchange, he must follow Queen Himiko's instructions and cooperate with the emperor of the Great Qin Kingdom to find those treasures, and until the treasures are found, Princess Ziqing must remain in the palace as a hostage, including, of course, Meiru, who he wants to take away

Although he didn't have much hope for Meishuang's peers at first, it turned out that even if they worked together, without Meishuang, the mission would have been a failure.

Along the way, Meishuang left a deep impression on him, her intelligence, hardship, well-informed and calm in the face of danger all made An Riyan impressed in his heart, he didn't expect the ending to be like this, it is embarrassing, is it really a thin face?

Thinking of this, An Riyan was sad for no reason, now that the overall situation has been decided, the purpose of coming has been achieved, but An Riyan is not happy at all, Princess Ziqing nagged a lot and he didn't listen to a word.

Seeing An Riyan's tired and lazy expression, Princess Ziqing comforted him a few words and found an opportunity to share happiness with Concubine Chen.

After leaving his homeland for a few months, and the news of Meishuang's death, An Riyan was disheartened, and he had no intention of staying, so he only told Princess Ziqing not to be too naïve, and set off for Yamatai the next day.

- When no one was around, Xiao Luo stared at the relics of Meishuang sent by Qizhou on the table in the imperial study, and sat for most of the hour.

Zhan Lu Sword, the unopened Golden Dragon Decree and a letter written by Mei Shuang herself, although Dao Shi Jieyu committed a serious crime, she was lost and asked the emperor to forgive her not to sin her family, and she died soon after her illness, hoping that the emperor would accumulate virtue for her.

Gonggong Li watched the emperor's expression change beside him, and he didn't feel sorry for the emperor in his heart, and he was even more sorry for the ending of the reborn Lin Yuxiang.

Thinking of the queen mother's reproach to the emperor, he could only sigh deeply, the emperor is also difficult, but who can understand the emperor's inner thoughts, but the person has gone, and it is too late to say anything

-- Time flies, summer goes to autumn, autumn goes to winter solstice.

The second day of the second month of February in the second year of Tianwu.

It's the annual "Neutralization Festival" again, and there is a peaceful atmosphere in the palace of Zishuo City. The harem concubines all got up early in the morning and began to dress up.

"Zhonghe Festival" is also called "Spring Ploughing Festival", and the folk call it "Dragon Raising Head", which means that spring is coming, all things are recovering, and the dragon begins to move, indicating that the agricultural activities of the year are about to begin.

For the common people, February 2 is a big day, there is a saying among the folk "February 2, according to the beams of the house, scorpions and centipedes have nowhere to hide", the common people want to get rid of pests on this day, the most common is to light candles, shine on the beams and walls to get rid of scorpions, centipedes, etc., in addition, but also to pray for rain, let God bless the harvest of the year.

Similarly, according to the usual practice, on this day, the emperor of the Great Qin State should lead the civil and military officials to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens, in addition to ordering the civil and military officials to personally plough one acre and three points of land, in the palace to "the imperial mother to send food, the royal driver to plough the land", the emperor personally took care of one acre and three points of land, to show the imperial court "heavy agriculture and mulberry, ploughing the field", more show the harmony of the emperor and queen.

For the concubines who have just entered the palace and don't touch the spring water, they can't even distinguish between leeks and wheat seedlings, they are used to wearing silk and satin in the palace, and now they are fresh and interesting to wear the peasant women's clothes distributed by the Internal Affairs Office, and they are looking forward to participating in the "Neutralization Festival" ceremony in the palace for the first time.

In the middle of the day, the concubines of the palace gathered in the Changqing Hall to wait for the arrival of the emperor. When they had nothing to do, the concubines and concubines of the palace made fun of today's dress, and some sensitive topics were inevitably discussed when they talked.

The "Neutralization Festival" pays attention to "the queen mother sends food, and the royal driver ploughs pro-ploughing". But the emperor has been on the throne for more than a year, and two queens have been deposed, and now the harem has no owner, and the "queen mother" is gone, but what should I do?

"Someone has to send food to the emperor on behalf of the queen" I don't know which fast-talking concubine saw that Concubine Chen was coming from afar, and deliberately shouted loudly.

Concubine Chen's face was silent, but she was like drinking honey in her heart, thinking that if she could really have the honor of "sending food" to the emperor today, it would not be far from the back seat that had been vacant.

- In the palace of the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager Ming couldn't sleep on the fourth watch, and Xiao Luo, who had finished the morning court, was sitting in front of her couch, drinking the hot tea offered by Aunt Yu.

Tourmaline gold crown, bright yellow dragon robe, a generation of emperors show their style.

The world has been decided, Gaozu's wish has been fulfilled, that batch of treasures has been seen again as he wished, and Nangong Nuo, the king of Zhao who has been hiding in the deep palace for many years, has exposed his true face, and there has been no news since Qishan fled, and his henchmen were taken together, and he couldn't make any more waves. It stands to reason that the world should be peaceful, but the face of the knife and axe is still as cold as ice all day long.

Now that I look closely, there is a faint dark blue under my eyes, which is caused by staying up late.

Since she heard Mei Shuang's murderous letter from Concubine Chen, the Empress Dowager Ming was shocked in her heart, and she couldn't help but blame her son for a while-the Great Qin State, with a population of tens of millions, is there no capable person? I want her to go on an adventure with a girl's house! You just can't see her! I can't see that there is a considerate person in front of the mourning family, and it is not for that Chu Xiruo!

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager Ming was so angry that she almost vomited blood. I didn't want to deal with him, but in the end it was my own, and I was angry, but in the end I was still distressed.

After thinking about it, he put down the gilded teacup in his hand, and said lightly, "The emperor should still take care of the dragon's body, and he doesn't need to go to the mourning house from time to time to say goodbye, but those concubines need you even more, and you should also prepare for today's 'Neutralization Festival'."

Speaking of harem concubines, the Empress Dowager Ming added another blockage in her heart, alas, saying where there are troubles, you said that all of them are like flowers and jade, slender and delicate beauties, and they are like human spirits when they play with each other, one is better than the other, but none of them can cage the emperor's heart.

His son is standing at thirty, and there is no son and half daughter under his knees, which is really worrying about him, let alone her, who is not anxious for the emperor in the palace. The key ugly words are still to come, and some people actually wonder if the emperor is not good at that aspect, and he can't give birth, does he want the country of Great Qin to be cut off?

These words made the Empress Dowager Ming not sleep well for three days, thinking that Meishuang was favored by the emperor for many days and there was no sign of a dragon fetus, and she was a little suspicious and shaken when she thought about it too much, so she couldn't sleep well.

I asked the maids in the Meishuang Palace in private, and they all said that it was normal, and she had no choice but to give up.

Looking through the history of the harem, the number of times the emperor has favored the women of the harem is simply a handful, and most of the time is spent on official duties.

Alas, although it is a good thing for a man to take care of the country, but not having an heir is not equivalent to zero in the end?

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager Ming could only sigh deeply.

I don't know what's going on with my son, although he is not close to women, but the paranoid mind of infatuation is simply a hundred cows can't pull it back.

Knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, she still knows a little about her son's temperament.

Xiao Luo's current situation is false if it has nothing to do with Meishuang's death, it is Chu Xiruo before, he doesn't seem to be in his current state, so her previous complaints are all about it, but she still knows it in her heart.

Let's talk about the emperor's attitude towards Meishuang, if you want to say that he doesn't like Meishuang, but he doesn't hesitate to run out of the palace to remove the Gu poison for him, and when he returns to the palace, he will place it in the back garden where it is difficult for idle concubines to set foot in, not to mention the grace of blessing every day; But if he said that his son liked Meishuang, but he never mentioned that he would give him a name, he got along with each other so namelessly; Moreover, after weighing it for a long time, she was finally asked to take risks.

Therefore, it is difficult for outsiders to see through the affairs of the two of them, but she is like a mirror in her heart.

The most powerful evidence is that I heard that Meishuang lost contact with them soon after they went up the mountain, and the emperor was not calm, and he couldn't wait to fly over to find it. After finding the traces of Meishuang and the others, he immediately drafted an order, as long as Meishuang came out safely, he would seal it immediately. Do you think this is a table that cares about plum cream?

Well, seeing that his son seems to have cultivated some relationship with Meishuang to blossom and bear fruit, but people are not as good as heaven after all, Meishuang went on that damn secret mission, although it was successful, but in the end it never came back.

Therefore, she saw that her son's soul seemed to be gone
