The next day, there was nothing to do, and public opinion about Wang Meng's death suddenly stopped.

When the people of Qi Mansion saw Yin Li, they no longer had a hostile eye.

Tomorrow, the post of the Queen Mother's banquet in the palace will also be delivered early.

Dian Xingyue was careful, she said that when she went to the palace for the banquet, she had to dress decently, not to lose Yin's face, and reminded Yin Li to go to the market shop to buy a new set of clothes for the banquet. After buying the clothes, Dian Xingyue took them back to the room and ironed them, and when they were returned to Yin Li, the clothes exuded a faint fragrance, and the smell of Dian Xingyue was full of touches.

As soon as this day passed, the next morning, it was still early to go to the feast.

The eunuchs in the palace suddenly stopped, and the queen mother ordered Yin to be engraved into the palace immediately.

Yin Li didn't dare to hesitate, and the eunuch who followed the decree entered the palace first.

The eunuch led Yin Li into the palace, and then sent him to Renshou Palace and retired on his own.

Renshou Palace is a harem palace, where the Empress Dowager Dong is entertained and enjoys singing and dancing.

The palace is not large, with a red carpet, and there are palace maids coming in and out, fiddling with tables, chairs and utensils.

Yin Li looked left and right, neither the queen mother nor anyone entertained him, and was about to arrest a palace maid for questioning, when the figure at the door flickered, it was Guang Han who arrived.

Yin Li looked at her for the first time and couldn't help but be stunned.

Compared with the Empress Dowager Dong, this Guanghan is about ten years younger.

She wore a military crown on her head, a tight-fitting blue coat, and a short sword at her waist.

In addition, his expression is cold and arrogant, his eyes are like frost, he is really heroic and charming.

Yin Li gave a hug salute and said, "Your Excellency, where is the Queen Mother?"

Guang Han leaned against the door, holding his waist sword, and looked him up and down without hesitation, his eyes were like two sharp blades, staring at Yin Li extremely uncomfortable. In fact, Yin Li could not be seen casually, his two pupils were black and red, extremely strange, Guang Han only looked at each other slightly, frowned, and looked away.

She stepped out of the door and said lightly, "Come with me." ”

Out of Inshou Palace, through a flower corridor, in front of a lake is a lake.

There is a small pavilion in the middle of the lake, and there is a stone bridge from the shore to the pavilion.

From a distance, there were people in the pavilion, it was the Empress Dowager Dong and two palace maids.

Guang Han only took Yin Li to the shore, and pointed to the Empress Dowager to order him to go by himself.

Yin Li crossed the stone bridge, walked to the pavilion, and saw the Empress Dowager Dong sitting on the railing, catching food and feeding the fish.

He stepped forward lightly, knelt down, and shouted softly: "The minister knocks on the Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Dong turned around, said with joy, bent down and stretched out her hand to hold him up: "You are here, Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, get up quickly, when there are no outsiders in the future, you don't have to kneel around, the mourning family knows that your temperament is very similar to your father, and you don't like to be restrained, let's laugh and laugh today, we should talk, just like you normally, how about it?"

After speaking, he stroked the back of Yin Li's hand, his eyes were stupid, and the autumn waves rippled.

Yin Li leaned back and said in a terrible voice: "Queen Mother, why are you looking at me like this?"

"Oh, seeing you is like seeing an old friend, just feeling nostalgic for a while. ”

Empress Dowager Dong retracted her gaze in a panic, turned her head and touched her face, and when she cleaned up her appearance, she turned her head and smiled, beckoned Yin Li to sit down on the pavilion chair, and said: "You look like this, exactly the same as your father when he was young, that day in the Yamen of the Ministry of War, the mourning family was startled when they saw you, I thought it was your father who came back, if you weren't entangled in lawsuits, the mourning family would have pulled you into the palace at that time." ”

Yin Li smiled: "Yes, I had to thank the Queen Mother for her protection that day, so that I could get rid of my crimes." ”

"It's rare that you understand the heart of the mourning family. Empress Dowager Dong patted Yin Li's shoulder, got up and grabbed a handful of fish food, and threw it to the water: "Actually, the mourning family should protect you, the Yin family is canonized by the first emperor, and there is no distinction between high and low and noble with other marquis, but for a thousand years, the Yin family has been bullied, and the nine countries have degraded the Yin family in private, isn't it tantamount to disobeying the first emperor by doing so, and the mourning family can't stand them relying on the strong and bullying the weak, so they come forward to help you." It's just that after helping you, the mourning family found that they seemed to have done something wrong, and they were not convinced, and they were afraid that they would lay the root of the curse for you. ”

Yin Li smiled dryly: "You also know about crying and mourning. ”

Empress Dowager Dong narrowed her eyes and smiled: "The prince of Yin Di went to cry about the funeral of the great Si Nong of the Qi Kingdom, how should this mourning be crying so that it is logical and not suspicious? ”

Yin Lixin said: "You can guess that I am fake crying." ”

After thinking about it, he said: "This thing is not strange, grandpa did have instructions for me, but I forgot about it for a long time, and now that Lord Wang is dead, grandpa can't tell him what he told him in person, so there was only one the night before, I think the funeral in front of the coffin can be regarded as the completion of grandpa's instructions." ”

Empress Dowager Dong looked at him sideways, and her pupils flashed a hint of infatuation.

Then he squinted and smiled: "You are really alert, do you think that the mourning family is playing tricks on you, the mourning family is just a gossip, not to mention that you can fool others with these words, but I still owe a little fire, others don't know, but I know that you can use such a strange trick, it's not strange at all, because your father is such a person." As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, you are your father's son, and your brain is naturally different from others. ”

"My father, I don't remember exactly, is the Queen Mother very familiar with my father?"

Yin Li sighed secretly, only to feel that his vest was hairy, and he was busy changing the topic.

He likes the Queen Mother very much, and he talks to her very cordially, but at the same time he is uneasy.

Kindness comes from the Queen Mother's delicacy and gentleness towards him, like a relative.

The uneasiness is that the Queen Mother has insight into his heart, and the Buddha has made him a transparent person, with no secrets at all.

"I'm more familiar with your father. ”

The topic turned to this, and the Empress Dowager Dong looked at herself and became obsessed, her eyes full of memories.

She froze in a daze, the fish food in her hand falling to the ground between her fingers, but she didn't realize it.

It wasn't until Yin Li stood next to her and coughed lightly that she came to her senses: "Oh, the mourning family has lost her mind, okay, don't talk about your father, I summoned you in advance today, I just want you to accompany me to gossip, I heard that Nanyang Hou loves the people like a son, and Yin people are diligent and unremitting, I want to listen to your nagging." Come, let's go to the Imperial Garden, talking as we go. ”

The two stepped out of the pavilion and walked slowly across the stone bridge to the opposite Imperial Garden.

Yin Li should only accompany the Queen Mother to walk and chat, and he will answer whatever the Queen Mother asks.

However, all the questions asked by the Empress Dowager Dong were about the governance and people's livelihood of Yindi.

She asked questions carefully, listened carefully, and expressed her concern, which touched Yin Li very much.

Prior to this, the Son of Heaven also despised Yin Di, and rarely asked about Yin Di, and there was never such a detailed question as Empress Dowager Dong in history.

The two talked about walking, and walked around most of the imperial garden, but they always felt that this was not enough.

Empress Dowager Dong listened to the sufferings of so many Yin people, shook her head and sighed: "The mourning family still thinks that although Yin Land is thin, the population is also small, and it is expected that it will not be so bleak." The Yin people make a living from farming and medicine as a business, which is originally good, but it is only because the land is poor and sparsely populated and the power is too weak that they have been repeatedly exploited and blackmailed by the powerful countries. ”

Yin Li gritted his teeth and said: "The soil of my Yin land is strange, suitable for growing yams, and our medicines are rare in various countries, but every time they trade, they always do not buy them at the market price, and they exploit them layer by layer, which makes people very angry." If I had half the land of other countries, I would not have lived so poorly. ”

Empress Dowager Dong smiled: "Haha...... Good boy, are you asking for a seal from the mourning family?"

Yin Li hugged his head and bowed: "The minister doesn't dare, although Yin Di is thin, it is enough to settle down." ”

Empress Dowager Dong stopped her hand and said: "The mourning family wants to seal you more land, but it's a pity that this fief since ancient times needs to establish a world-famous feud to be obtained, and if the name is not right, the mourning family can't help, unless in the future, when my Hyuga Empire is in danger, you can take on the heavy responsibility and establish immortal achievements, and then you can naturally be rewarded." ”

Yin Li muttered, "Meritorious service?"

"In a few days, the Guozijian exam will start, take the exam well, when you are admitted to the Guozijian and succeed in your studies, there will naturally be a time when you will make contributions in the future. Empress Dowager Dong laughed, the tone of her words was different, especially when she said the word "meritorious service", her tone was raised, obviously with hints and encouragement.

How could Yin Li not understand these extraneous voices, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

Empress Dowager Dong helped him up, but stopped at the point and stopped talking.

She led her hand in the direction of Tianshou Palace: "Let's go, let's go to the banquet." ”
