The Jin State is very different from the Qi State, the Jin State has not been officially founded for many years, it used to be a fief on behalf of the country, and it did not even have its own palace, even if it is the current Jin Palace, it was the palace built by the previous Wei Emperor in Mocheng for the summer vacation, which is much smaller than the real palace. Emperor Jin got up recklessly, did not pay attention to some things, did not have many years of experience like Qi State, and Emperor Jin was just a reckless man who couldn't read big words in the past.

What's more, the Jin State has been consuming since its founding, even if the Jin Emperor did not expand the harem, it is also a state of no owner in the harem and an empty treasury.

The most important thing is that Wen Ling felt that because of the departure of the Empress Jin, the Jin Emperor estimated that he had lost something, so he didn't care much about these requirements, otherwise how could he reuse the eunuchs.

Three days passed quickly.

In the past three days, Yunying has not received any news about Xiaobao as usual, and Du Yong's appearance seems to be just a flash in the pan.

Mu Xi also wore a formal suit, with a high collar to cover the scar on his neck, and Wen Ling followed him and got into the carriage of the palace.

Mu Xi rode the horse in front, and Wenling's carriage was behind.

Because it is a palace banquet, and the palace people personally access Wenling from the palace, it can be regarded as grand. Along the way, there are also carriages of various noble women, jingling bells, under the heavy snow, trampling out a lively and noisy scene.

Among the several palace people who greeted Wen Ling at the gate of the palace, there were two housekeepers with older grades.

"Slaves and maids see princesses, see princesses."

"Slaves and maids see princesses, see princesses."

The two grandmothers spoke at the same time.

The fatter one is Mama Liu, and the shorter one is Mama Zhang.

Wen Ling bowed, "The two grandmothers are good." ”

The two grandmothers were a little grand, "The princess is here, please, the princess's position and the prince are at the same table, but now the palace banquet has not yet been set up, according to the emperor's order, first invite the princess and the prince to sit in the imperial garden, and snacks and tea are also set up in the imperial garden." ”

In addition to Mu Xi, there were several envoys who sent Wen Ling, all of whom followed behind.

Wen Ling's head.

To be honest, the imperial garden of the Jin Kingdom is really nothing to see.

Now that it's winter again, the garden has been replaced with winter plants, but because of the snow, most of them are covered with snow, so there is nothing to enjoy the scenery. However, the eunuch swept the snow very cleanly, Wen Ling glanced at it when he walked by, the eunuch was relatively strong, even if it was the ice attached to the corner of the steps, it was easily ripped off, Wen Ling glanced at it, and the arms on the sleeves raised by the eunuch were very powerful.

Mama took a few people to walk around, and she felt a little embarrassed.

What to see in this winter?

But Mama Zhang opened her mouth first and said, "This jade pendant on the princess belongs to the second prince." ”

Wen Ling glanced at it.

Mama Zhang looked at the jade pendant, raised her head and said with a smile, "The emperor once gave the eldest prince a bunch of chess-shaped jade pendants, and the second prince gave a sword-shaped jade pendant. ”

Wen Ling smiled, "It seems that Mama Zhang is a close person to the second prince." ”

"Yes...... Mama Zhang said with relief, "The second prince grew up as a slave." ”

Mama Liu on the side saw Mama Zhang and Wen Ling talking, sighed softly, and understood when she saw the jade pendant.

Mu Xi frowned and said, "Princess, it's snowing......"

After hearing this, Mama Liu reacted, "Yes, it's snowing, princess and prince, let's go and sit in the Summer Palace." ”

Yi Yu and the strings followed behind, and Yi Yu couldn't help muttering a few words to the strings.

Not long after sitting in the Summer Palace, I saw a little eunuch in a blue robe rushing over, "The banquet is ready, the emperor invites the princess and the prince to take a seat." ”

"Hmm."

The two grandmothers nodded, and hurriedly took Wen Ling and Mu Xi forward.

Because it is a palace banquet, the three or more products invited are indoors.

At the beginning, when Wen Ling arrived in the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom did not hold a reception banquet, Wen Ling only thought that it was because of his special identity and there was no suitable person, so he did not hold it, but recently Wen Ling can be regarded as understanding.

The Jin Kingdom was not divided into the front banquet and the back banquet like the Qi State, but almost one table.

However, the State of Qi had hundreds of civil and military officials, but the State of Jin did not.

The Jin Kingdom is not even a country with a complete system, because of the lack of manpower, and there are not many ministers, and now they all bring their families, in short, it looks very messy on the outside.

For Wen Ling, it's a bit like when a folk wedding banquet is held, except for a few important tables where the in-laws have to sit at one table, the rest of the people are arranged at random according to their identities.

According to such a banquet, those who generally arrive early are some irrelevant people, and the more people with status, the more they have to make the finale. When Wen Ling came, he could barely be regarded as accepting everyone's courtesy, and those who came from the Qi Kingdom were all at the table.

Fortunately, the upper seat in the room is better, the banquet in the room is where the ministers above the third grade are located, two people have a table, and the envoys of the Qi country, including the Qi country and Mu Xi, occupy four tables. The rest were the courtiers of the Jin state, as well as their wives.

Wen Ling had seen a lot of them on the day he first entered the palace, so most of them were familiar.

Among them is Prime Minister Du, who is now reused by Emperor Jin.

Wen Ling glanced at it, although he was older, he did have some resemblance to Du Yong.

Prime Minister Du seemed to feel Wen Ling's gaze, and turned his head to her and Mu Xi bowed slightly.

Wen Ling sat down for a while before Emperor Jin came over.

After half a month, Emperor Jin's body didn't seem to be very good, and he was supported by the old eunuch next to him, holding a handkerchief in his hand and coughing several times. Because of Mu Xi's reminder, Wen Ling deliberately observed for a while, although Kang Yi was also an elderly eunuch, his back and pace were much more stable than that of Emperor Jin, and he was indeed a martial artist.

After the banquet began, Wen Ling took a sip of fruit wine.

During the period, Kang Yi said a few words, saying that it was the meaning of Emperor Jin, probably just a few words, probably the changes and summaries of the Jin Kingdom this year, Wen Ling listened, but today is the New Year's banquet, what Kang Yi said is good news, and the affairs of the government are not unclear to mention, the main thing is to let the fight eat and drink happily, which can be regarded as a year-end reward. When they went home for a while, they all had to receive their own rewards, Wen Ling smiled, but he was also toasted halfway, and there were several noble girls who had the courage to take the initiative to invite Wen Ling to get together again after the banquet, and Wen Ling smiled and agreed.

To be honest, my face was almost laughing.

Halfway through, Wen Lingzai finally couldn't hold it anymore, so he asked Yi Yu to help him out and find a clean room to go to the toilet.

It was snowing lightly outside, and Wen Ling was not in a hurry to return to the banquet, and this kind of palace banquet was also hindered by her identity. And it was also a little embarrassing, Emperor Jin wanted her to marry Gu Rin, but she got along with Gu Xun. Sitting behind the rockery, I rested for a while, and I also got rid of the slight drunkenness brought by the fruit wine, but I saw a middle-aged man surrounded by several palace people next to him, looking around.

"Who's that?" Wen Ling asked.

Yi Yu followed and got up.

The middle-aged man was dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, and several palace people behind him were helping to use a black jar to load the snow on the tree.

"What are they doing?" Wen Ling felt a little curious.

How could there be a Taoist in the Jin Palace?

After hearing this, the palace people next to him hurriedly said, "That's Zhang Tianshi, who is responsible for alchemy for the emperor." ”

"Alchemy?" Wen Ling was stunned when he heard this word.

"Yes, the emperor's health was not good two years ago, and the imperial doctors in the palace were helpless, and it was Zhang Tianshi who entered the palace to treat the emperor's illness, which made the emperor better." The palace man said, "And Zhang Tianshi is very powerful, he can know what people are thinking in their hearts." ”

Know what's going on in people's minds?

Wen Ling didn't believe it.

A few little eunuchs took the jar and asked the robed man, "Heavenly Master, how are these?" ”

Zhang Tianshi looked at it and nodded, "It's okay." ”

Turning his head, he happened to see Wen Ling looking at his group curiously, pondered for a moment, and took the initiative to step forward, "Poor Dao see the princess." ”

"You guys, what are you going to do?"

There is snow water to store, which can be used to make tea in the spring of the next year, but the people of Fangcai Palace say that it is alchemy, can this snow water also be alchemy?

"Oh...... This is the heart protection pill refined for the emperor, this refining heart protection pill needs to take four dews, this winter snow is only one of the dew, and the others are spring dew, summer rain, and autumn frost. Zhang Tianshi said in a deep voice, looking like a very orthodox Taoist.

But to be honest, Wen Ling doesn't like this Zhang Tianshi very much.

Wen Ling didn't know the Taoist, Nian Yun believed in the words of the Master of Kongming before, and he was also a powerful person, but most masters don't seek fame and fortune, but this master appeared in the palace, if he doesn't seek fame and fortune, it can't be said.

Slowly retracted his gaze and bowed his head.

His face was pale, in Wen Ling's eyes, this Heavenly Master did not have an identity worthy of her respect, and was about to turn around, but he heard Zhang Tianshi take the initiative.

"Seeing each other today is to have a fate with the princess, and the poor road can be a blessing for the princess." Zhang Tianshi spoke, but smiled after seeing Wen Ling's eyes, "The princess can not believe it, but the poor Dao has to be counted because of the luck of the Heavenly Dao." ”

After that, he took out a few copper plates from his cuffs and threw them into the sky.

Several copper plates fell.

Zhang Tianshi squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, but after a while, his eyes widened suddenly, and his expression raised slightly.

Wen Ling's face was expressionless.

Yi Yu was fooled by Zhang Tianshi's actions, and frowned, "What is wrong with you?" ”

Zhang Tianshi took back the copper plate and looked up at Wen Ling, and said, "According to the hexagram, the princess may encounter trouble these days, and when the princess goes out, she should be extremely careful." ”

Yi Yu frowned, and said "What trouble will happen." ”

Before he could say anything, Wen Ling said, "Thank you Heavenly Master for reminding me, this palace will pay attention." "Take it away.

Wen Ling walked very calmly, and the gaze behind him remained for a long time, until the corner was gone, and Wen Ling rubbed Fang Ling's straight little face.

"Why didn't the princess listen to what Zhang Tianshi said? In case the princess is really in trouble......" Yi Yu said a little worriedly, and the most important thing is that there have been a lot of things in charge of his own family recently.
