"Thank you, Your Majesty." My Gongjin replied and stood up, raised his cheeks, and showed an innocent smile at the Golden Emperor. At this time, I looked around, but I never saw Shang Jinming's figure, and I suddenly felt empty in my heart, as if there was no barrier to protect myself.

"Well, I am very relieved that you won the competition this time, and you deserve to be the heroine of our Dajin." The Golden Emperor raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth rose, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face showed joy.

I hurriedly shook my head, "Your Majesty has praised it, where do I dare to call it a heroine?" It's just that I learned some fist and foot kung fu, and I win a little better than ordinary women. Our Dajin heroine, of course, is none other than the eldest princess of Holy Grace. ”

When Emperor Jin heard this, his face suddenly turned hideous, like a cold air flashing through his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and his face showed a kind smile again.

I think it was probably because Emperor Jin remembered something, or maybe he looked away, so he didn't take it to heart. It's just that I secretly think about how to respond to the next words.

"This competition with the Northern Wei Dynasty, although two wins in three games, but after all, one game was lost, the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, please see you yesterday, saying that Sima An was a little unsuitable, and if he can win a game, he can already show his strength." As he spoke, Emperor Jin measured his cheeks, pointed to Gonggong Chen behind him, motioned for him to show me a seat, raised his eyebrows, and continued, "What the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty mean, they still want to designate a candidate for harmony, in order to show that Dajin likes the Northern Wei Dynasty, but this time they are willing to deign and choose the daughter of a nobleman other than the princess." ”

I immediately understood what Emperor Jin meant, and thought that Jin Ming came to report yesterday, at this time, Emperor Jin was afraid that he really listened to Liu Mu's nonsense, and wanted to designate me as a candidate for harmony. I lowered my head, my eyebrows flickered a few times, as if to hide my sight, and then I said lightly, "Then do they want to designate the daughter of a feudal king who has military exploits and dominates one side?" ”

Emperor Jin's eyes suddenly lit up, and a pair of sword eyebrows, which were a little gray, frowned tightly. I knew my temptation had worked.

So I said slowly, "Your Majesty, you have to think twice, although the Northern Wei Dynasty is aiming to marry my Dajin this time, it has always maintained a high profile from the beginning, where is that feeling of asking for others." Then, they made excessive demands one after another, but in the end they voluntarily gave in, condescending? Even the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty is just a barbarian land, why should the noble daughter of my clan marry? What's more, he still wants to ask for the daughter of the overlord of my Dajin side, and his intentions are obvious. I raised my eyebrows slightly, the corners of my mouth flashed an imperceptible curvature, and then quickly retracted, my cheeks still calm as water.

Emperor Jin frowned, his eyes narrowed slightly, nodded, and said while turning around and walking back towards the golden throne: "Well, you are thoughtful, then the Northern Wei barbarians have to guard against it." ”

I sat quietly in the temple, not in a hurry.

At this time, a small eunuch came from outside the hall quickly, "Your Majesty, the imperial guard Lord Dutong asks to see you." ”

"Huh? Why did he come, didn't he let him cultivate today? The Golden Emperor smiled and quipped. Let him in. ”

Shang Jinming came from far away from outside the hall, tall and majestic. Walk quickly in front of the temple, bow down and bow down to bow down.

"Well, get up, there are no outsiders, no need to be formal." Emperor Jin said gently, "By the way, didn't you ask you to cultivate today?" ”

"Hmmm······" He hesitated in reply, and then said, "Your Majesty, the minister has been thinking about the corruption case of Li Xi, the town guard of Beiguan, that you mentioned earlier, and after thinking about it, I feel that the place where the case occurred is a garrison and should not be delayed for a long time, or it should be solved quickly, so the minister has come to ask for an order today and go to Beiguan to investigate." After that, he measured his head, shifted his cold gaze to me, and paused, "Deputy Lieutenant Bai is also here today, but it's also for this?" ”

His words changed very quickly, and I immediately understood his intention, although Emperor Jin had never mentioned the matter of peace with him, presumably he still didn't worry about me dealing with it alone, so he thought of an excuse and entered the palace to help me. Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a warm current in my heart, and I am very grateful.

"Well, you're right, Beiguan is the offensive and defensive place of my Dajin and Beiyan, and the corruption of the generals is bound to be very widespread, without further ado, you will leave tomorrow, remember, don't leak the news, I want to know as soon as possible who dares to collude with that Li Xi?" Emperor Jin ignored Jin Ming's words, and just looked very angry.

Jin Ming was stunned for a moment, but he didn't want to ask anything again, so he had to bow down and take the order, ready to retire.

Emperor Jin nodded, and just as he was about to step out of the hall, Emperor Jin suddenly seemed to remember something, "Jin Ming." ”

He quickly turned around.

"This matter is at the border gate, and it may be related to Beiyan, in this way, you go with Duxue, he is thoughtful, and you can take care of each other, and the two of you must find out the mastermind of the corruption case."

"Yes, I obey." The two of us answered the call together.

Seeing that Emperor Jin looked tired, we took the opportunity to retire.

As soon as I left the hall, Shang Jinming grabbed my arm, and with a little force, dragged me to the corner on the west side of the palace gate. "What did you say?"

I feigned confusion and raised my cheeks to reveal an innocent and chaotic look.

He held his breath, turned around, and his tone softened suddenly, "What did you say to Your Majesty, he obviously seemed to have identified you yesterday, why did he change today?" ”

"Haha." I laughed, "Naturally, I have grasped the mind of our majesty!" ”

He turned around angrily, his eyes falling on me hard, but he stopped talking, his right hand shook off heavily, and the sound of his clothes cutting through the air made a sound. "Don't forget Your Majesty's mission tomorrow, I will go to the Hou Mansion early in the morning to wait for you." Then he turned and left.

I watched him walk farther and farther away, and I was actually a little unbearable, because I knew that he was there to care about me, and I teased him. I just think of his cold appearance on weekdays, either putting on a show of being a metropolitan adult, or blaming me for what I did wrong, so I just want to be angry with him.

Back to the Hou Mansion, during the evening dinner, I heard the report of Steward Chen that the palace had spread the word, and the person who was with the relatives this time chose the little daughter of Sinanbo, saying that His Majesty did not see anyone again today, but he had been staying in the Chengqian Palace to read, and then he directly let Chen Gonggong pass the decree in the evening.

Sinanbo is said to be His Majesty's cousin, he had made a compilation in the palace in his early years, and he had no great achievements, because he was the only son in the family, he inherited the title of his old father, and now he is enjoying his life. His daughter can be regarded as a noble daughter of the Dajin dynasty, and I heard that she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her appearance is also first-class, so this identity is perfect as a candidate for harmony.
