The emperor has been sick for many years, and he often has a sick body, but this is the first time that he has not been in court for so long. Although the crown prince is in good order, it is inevitable that the ministers will be uneasy.

As soon as the news of the emperor's summoning of Nanrong's envoys came out on this day, the officials came to wait outside the Ninghui Hall early, waiting for the emperor to go to court today. The crown prince and King An were at the front of the queue, and his face was as usual.

When the hour came, the door of the Ninghui Hall opened, and hundreds of officials rushed in, standing in their respective positions. After a while, Emperor Yuan He entered from the apse, and the buzzing in the hall was silent for a moment, and everyone saluted in unison.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

Emperor Yuanhe was dressed in a black and gold dragon robe and was not angry, and under the crown was a pair of sharp eagle-like eyes. But the white hair on the sideburns and the overly pale complexion still reveal the inevitable decay of this Ninety-Five.

Emperor Yuanhe sat down on the wide and cold dragon chair and said in a deep voice: "Zhongqing is flat. ”

His gaze swept downward, and hundreds of civil and military officials were lined up on both sides of the hall, and at a glance they seemed to be no different from before. But if you look closely, you can find that there are many fresh faces among them.

The left minister came out and raised his voice: "The emperor is in poor health, and the ministers are worried. Now seeing the emperor's dragon body is safe, it is my blessing. ”

Although Zuo Xiang's sycophant has no level, he is the most infallible, and all officials echo him.

Emperor Yuanhe bowed slightly, turned to look at Ji Chengyu, who was standing at the head of the hundred officials, and said meaninglessly: "During the days of my quiet recuperation, the prince has made great contributions to the country, and he should be rewarded for his life, what does the prince want?" ”

Ji Chengyu came out of the line to salute and replied calmly: "My father has a good reputation, and my sons just obey my father's orders and do their duty, and they don't dare to take credit." ”

Emperor Yuanhe squinted his eyes and said nothing, and the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became tense. Zuo Xiang glanced at Yuan Hedi's face, and was thinking about how to speak, when he saw Yu Xiang and said: "What the emperor said is extremely true, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can now be in charge alone, and it all depends on the emperor's careful teaching." The emperor's dragon body is the blessing of Dali, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the wind of being a father, and it is also the blessing of the people. ”

Emperor Yuanhe shook his head and chuckled: "Yu Xiang, Yu Xiang, no wonder everyone says you are an old fox." ”

Yu Xiang bowed and saluted, and replied: "The emperor has a false reputation, and Weichen does not dare to be it." ”

Emperor Yuanhe waved his hand and said: "That's it, prince, you are too restrained since you were a child." Since you don't say it, then I will reward myself. This matter will be discussed later, Nanrong's envoy has been waiting outside the palace for a long time, let him in. ”

Fu'an, who was beside Emperor Yuanhe, gave an order, and raised his voice: "Spread the Nanrong envoy to see you." ”

The palace people waiting at the gate of the Ninghui Hall raised their voices to send a message: "It is rumored that the envoys of Nanrong will meet you." ”

The palace people outside the main hall raised their voices unhurriedly: "It is rumored that Nanrong will send the ministers to see you." ”

The envoy sent by Nanrong this time is a tall and thin man who is nearly unconfused, wearing Nanrong's red court clothes, which shows that his official position in Nanrong is not low. It is said to be the confidant of the regent of Namyong.

The man was in the Dali court, and among the hundreds of officials looking around, he could not change his face, bowed down and performed the Dali salute without humility or arrogance, and said loudly: "Nanrong envoy Ma Yan saw the Dali Emperor, and Weichen came on the order of the regent, and I hope that the two countries will summarize the same good and help each other in the same boat." ”

With that, he gestured sideways, and the envoys behind him placed the salutes in the center of the main hall one by one. Then open the chests one by one, revealing the priceless treasures inside.

Emperor Yuanhe said with a smile: "The regent has a heart, and I, Da Li, also have this intention, and I am willing to form a good relationship with Rong Guo and make progress together." ”

Ma Yan smiled: "In that case, why don't we marry Qin Jin." The two countries are closely related to each other. ”

Emperor Yuanhe groaned slightly, and Ji Lingyun pretended not to know and asked: "The envoy said this, but for Emperor Rong to come to my Dali to marry Empress Rongguo?" ”

Ma Yan naturally knew that Emperor Yuanhe was knowingly asking, so he got straight to the point and said: "The difference between what Emperor Li said, my Emperor Darong is still young, and it is still early to marry the queen. Weichen came this time to ask for the regent of Darong to marry Princess Dali as the regent.

Although it is not the queen's position, Weichen swears in the name of the regent that Princess Dali will marry me Darong as the regent princess with the gift of the queen. The princess regent's clothing is in no way inferior to that of the queen in the palace, and she will not let the princess suffer the slightest grievance. ”

Ma Yan is so outspoken, but it makes everyone difficult to question. Ji Lingyun secretly gritted his teeth and stopped talking.

Emperor Yuan He opened his mouth and said: "The matter is big, Rong Zhen thinks about it." Later, there will be a banquet in the palace for the envoys to receive the wind and wash the dust, and the envoys do not have to worry, just stay in Dali for a few more days, and take a good look at the beautiful landscapes of my Dali. ”

Ma Yan has been neglected for the past few days, and he also knows that Emperor Dali will not agree so easily. But from his attitude, he could see the meaning of approval, and now he was just posturing, so he put his mind at ease and readily agreed.

In recent years, Emperor Yuanhe's health has deteriorated, although he used to favor Concubine Lan and King Jian, but King Jian is an overwhelmed person, the prince's ability is obvious to all, and the burden on his shoulders is increasing. Seeking Chinese

Whenever the emperor is sick, the matter of supervising the country has always been justified by the prince. Therefore, although it took a long time this time, the affairs of the DPRK and China were not hectic at all, and an early dynasty ended quickly.

The reception banquet of the envoys of Rongguo was set up in Youshi, and Ji Lingyun went to the Ministry of Rites to go around and then returned to the palace.

In the palace, Bai Yanran was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, Su Xin was grooming for her, and Zhu Ling was cleaning up the clothes she was going to wear for a while. But Bai Yanran couldn't help but be distracted, remembering Rong Guo's courtship in her previous life.

In her previous life, Bai Yanran had already turned into a cat, and she didn't know much about this peace.

I only knew that Ji Lingyun tried his best to stop it, but in the end he returned in vain, so he could only watch Lingxi get into the carriage in a wedding dress and marry Nanrong and his relatives.

Nanrong came to ask for relatives this time to show his sincerity, Nanrong envoys not only brought priceless treasures, but also a rare treasure that moved Emperor Yuan and Emperor - the real "Splendid Rivers and Mountains".

Dali has a long history, hundreds of years ago it was just a small country in the East, but it is also a country and a people's peace. Therefore, the ancestor of the Dali royal family, the best Danqing, made a "Splendid Picture of the Rivers and Mountains".

However, later, the smoke broke out, and the war spread to the land of Dali, and several dangers arose, but they all turned the danger into a disaster, but made Dali grow stronger and stronger.

However, at the time of turmoil, the Dali Palace was also burned by the war, and the "Splendid Rivers and Mountains" was nowhere to be found. Not to mention Emperor Yuanhe, I'm afraid even Taizu is not fortunate enough to see it.

Later, when Taizu learned of this, he took great pains to see the painter of this painting to trace it, and when he got a picture of "Splendid Pictures of Mountains and Rivers", he regarded it as a treasure.

I don't know if it's providence, "Splendid Mountains and Rivers" was also lost in the palace change, and was later recovered by Ji Chengyu and dedicated to Emperor Yuanhe as a birthday gift.

Rong Guo found the "Splendid Mountains and Rivers" from nowhere, and specially presented it when he asked for marriage, showing his sincerity.

However, not long after Ling Xiyuan got married, Ji Lingyun unexpectedly learned that "Splendid Mountains and Rivers" was not as good as "Splendid Mountains and Rivers", but in fact, it had already been destroyed, and what Nanrong brought was just a fake.

In his previous life, although Ji Lingyun learned the truth, it was not too late and he couldn't change anything. But in this life, Bai Yanran can expose Nanrong's tricks in advance, and may be able to exchange for a glimmer of life for Lingxi.

And Bai Boren is now working at the Hanlin Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, and it is justified to expose the truth, just to see if he has the courage.

Seeing Ji Lingyun coming back, Bai Yanran looked abrupt and asked, "How?" ”

Ji Lingyun approached and took the gilded jade begonia in Su Xin's hand and shook it, put it on for her with his own hands, and comforted: "There is no shortage of calligraphy and painting among the things brought by Rong Guo, all of which have been deposited in the Hanlin Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, and the rest will be handed over to Brother Boren." ”

Bai Yanran couldn't tell the truth about the matter, she could only say that she let Bai Boren take over her position, and secretly replaced the calligraphy and paintings sent by Rong Guo with fakes, so as to frame Rong Guo, she couldn't help but feel worried.

But since Rong Guo dared to use the fake "Splendid Mountains and Rivers" to deceive Emperor Yuan He, it must be a vivid imitation, but I don't know if Bai Boren can find out the strangeness.

So far, I can only do my best and obey the destiny of heaven.

When the carriage of King An's Mansion arrived, I saw the carriage of the Prince's Mansion parked in front of the palace gate from a distance. The carriage stopped, the curtain of the prince's mansion was lifted, and Ji Chengyu and Qi Simin got off one after another.

Ji Chengyu looked at Ji Lingyun, and the faces of the two of them faded from the indifference of the early dynasty, and they both had a somewhat dignified look. Qi Simin wanted to be more exposed, with a worried face, he came over and grabbed Bai Yanran's arm and said, "What should I do?" I heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that the emperor has decided to let Lingxi go to Nanrong and kiss. I heard that as long as the emperor relented, Nanrong immediately set off to come to greet his relatives with a dowry, and I don't know if I can see him again. ”

Xile also said with a bitter face on the side: "The princess persuaded my young lady, the young lady has been sleeping and eating for several days for the sake of Princess Lingxi." Don't wait until Princess Lingxi has not gone to kiss, Miss's body will collapse first. ”

Bai Yanran patted Qi Simin's hand comfortingly, everything was not known at the moment, and it was inconvenient for her to say anything. She turned her head to look, and she didn't know what Ji Chengyu said to Ji Lingyun, and the atmosphere between the two was extremely tense.

At the dust-washing banquet for receiving foreign guests like this, not only the emperor and the harem concubines, but also the prince and the important ministers of the court were also seated at the same table, and the two prime ministers on the left and right of the left and right prime ministers were naturally listed.

At this time, the emperor and queen had not yet arrived, and Zuo Xiang and Yu Xiang were doing their best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and they were pushing the cup and changing the lamp with Ma Yan, and they were talking very happily. Of course, they are all old foxes, keeping their eyes on them, knowing that they can't get drunk, and they also know what to say and what not to say.

Bai Yanran and Qi Simin sat next to each other, and on this occasion, Ji Chengyu and Ji Lingyun naturally did not have the time to sit idle, and soon left their seats. Bai Yanran talked to Qi Simin, but she didn't feel difficult.

It's just that the two of them were talking, and there were two more women dressed as graceful and luxurious ladies in front of them, and the two people who came uninvited were Mrs. Zuo and Mrs. Yu.

Bai Yanran was in her heart, sure enough. Although Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Zuo just looked at it as ordinary as they came to say hello, their eyes were frequently looking at Qi Simin, probably for their daughter who was to be married at home.

Finally sent these two away, Qi Simin patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, she obviously saw the thoughts of these two people, and sighed: "This princess is really not good, I don't know what it will be like when people enter the door in the future." ”
