A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 164 People can change

Tao Hua was taken aback, and quickly bowed her head in salute: "Thank you for your majesty's grace."

The emperor was about to continue to say something, but Li Jin who was standing next to him said in a daze: "Shouldn't the princess of our country marry Nan Wang as his concubine? Why is she dressed like this?"

Taohua lowered her head and raised her eyebrows, wondering if they haven't explained this clearly?
Shen Zaiye smiled: "Just now I was busy giving national gifts to each other, but this matter needs to be explained slowly at the banquet."

Li Jin frowned, his eyes were full of inexplicable emotions, his eyes fell on Jiang Taohua, and he never moved away, so that everyone around him noticed something strange, even the emperor looked at him, and then looked at him again. Look at the peach blossoms.

Shen Zaiye stepped forward unhappily, stood in front of him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, let's take your seat first."

Concubine Lan Gui also quickly smoothed things over, she came up and helped the emperor to walk in: "The banquet is ready, Your Majesty, take a look, is there anything wrong?"

"Of course I don't worry about your work." Emperor Mingde smiled, and the people behind followed him.

Li Jin took the opportunity to go to Jiang Taohua's side, but there was always Shen Zaiye in front of him, who seemed to be standing in front of him inadvertently, but no matter how he went around, he couldn't get around.

"Prime Minister Shen." Li Jin finally couldn't help but ask, "Did I offend you in any way?"

Shen Zaiye turned his head, glanced at him lightly, and said with a smile, "Prime Minister Li thinks a lot, you and I have never met, and there is nothing to offend."

"Then..." Then why does he always feel a little bit against himself?
Nodding politely, Shen Zaiye didn't talk to him again, turned around, grabbed Jiang Taohua next to him back into his arms, and said in a low voice, "Watch the road carefully."

Tao Hua was taken aback for a moment, blinked her eyes and looked up at him, and said emotionally: "Master, you are a man today!"

"Oh?" Stretching out his hand to secretly pinch her waist, Shen Zaiye asked with a nonchalant smile, "You mean, you're not usually a man?"

"No no no." Nestled in his arms obediently, Tao Hua said sincerely: "You are always a man, really!"

Shen Zaiya curled his lips, looking at the livid face of the person behind him from the corner of his eyes, he felt a childish sense of satisfaction for a moment.

Li Jin looked at the two people in front of him in shock, and didn't understand what was going on for a long time. He didn't react until he entered the main hall and sat down and saw the two people sitting at the same table.

The person Jiang Taohua married was Shen Zaiye, not Nanwang? !

"Your Majesty!" Unable to sit still for a moment, Li Jin cupped his hands as soon as he took his seat and said, "I don't understand, what is going on with our princess's marriage?"

"This is also a romantic relationship." Concubine Lan Guixi sat down on the main seat, and Emperor Mingde said after tidying up his clothes: "Originally, the princess of your country was indeed promised to King Nan, but there was a mistake in the middle. I entered the prime minister's mansion. My prime minister in Great Wei is not inferior to the prince, and your princess is not at a disadvantage."

How could this be?Li Jin's face turned pale, he looked at Shen Zaiya and Jiang Taohua, and then at Prince Nan beside him.

Although Nan Wang has been promoted to prince and now has the only position in Wei, but he is still young, if Tao Hua marries him, she will feel better, after all, she will not like children younger than herself.But Shen Zaiye...

How could it be Shen Zaiya!
With a slight smile, Tao Hua looked at him calmly and said, "I am living a good life in Dawei. It doesn't matter who I marry. The important thing is that if it is because of me, Dawei and Zhao Guoxiu have a good relationship for a hundred years. It’s not in vain either.”

"Princess is very right." Concubine Lan Gui smiled coquettishly: "Looking at the love between the princess and the prime minister, we must be friendly with the state of Zhao for a lifetime."

Emperor Ming De gently squeezed Concubine Lan Gui's hand, the latter was taken aback, and immediately shut up.

If Zhao's national strength is strong, then Wei can still live in harmony with them all the time.But now the state of Zhao is worsening day by day, its troops are depleted, and its border defenses are weak.It's not that he didn't have this plan, so he can't say too much now.

Li Jin pursed his lips, looked deeply at Peach Blossom for a long time, and said with downcast eyes: "Since the princess is doing well now, I feel at ease."

What do you have to worry about?Taohua couldn't help but secretly rolled her eyes, saying that it was the same as how great she was and how much she cared about her, did she forget when she was dying?Did you forget when you ignored her and Chang Jue?I can't remember the stupid things I have done, and the look of thinking that I am a lover is really annoying.

In the past, she would be moved by Li Jin's nice words and affectionate eyes, but now that she has grown up, she knows how to see the essence of a man through these superficial things.Everything depends on the result rather than the process. Whether a person treats himself well or not, don't listen to what he says, but just look at what he does.

"Since the two countries have married, they are one family." Emperor Mingde said with a smile: "If Zhao Guo has any difficulties, feel free to ask me, and those who can help will try their best to help."

Li Jin was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Taohua again.

Originally, she was asked to make peace, but she had no hope of making any progress in the relationship between the two countries, but she turned out to be so powerful that the emperor of Wei could say this?
Jiang Taohua also had a meal herself, and quickly glanced at the main seat, then looked at Li Jin, frowned and shook her head slightly.

What's the meaning?Li Jin didn't understand what she wanted to express. Emperor Mingde was still waiting. He thought for a while and said, "There have been a lot of natural and man-made disasters in the Zhao Kingdom recently, and there is a shortage of food. If the Great Wei has enough food and grass, I wonder if I can borrow one or two." ?”

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters?" Emperor Mingde sighed a little: "This is really not good. I will discuss with the officials who govern millet later, how much food you are short of, just transport it from the granary of Wei."

Li Jin was overjoyed, he didn't expect the Emperor of Wei to be so generous, and hurriedly came out to salute: "Your Majesty, I thank you on behalf of Zhao Guo."

Tao Hua closed her eyes, thinking that her father, who was far away in the country of Zhao, was really confused. After all, he was visiting a powerful country, and he would send someone like Li Jin who only knows romance and is not good at power.How many catties and taels does she have, can Emperor Mingde borrow so much food?This is clearly spying on Zhao Guo's reality, this fool can't even read her eyes!
What a match made in heaven with Jiang Suheng!
Sensing her emotions, Shen Zaiye squinted his eyes, but didn't say anything.The banquet began, with the sound of silk and bamboo, dancers swaying, and delicacies were also served.

Tao Hua originally wanted to turn grief and anger into appetite to have a good meal, but Shen Zaiye seemed to have a knot in his brain today, either serving her food, or reaching out to wipe the corners of her mouth for her. He couldn't help saying: "The prime minister is becoming more and more gentle."

Smiling awkwardly, the hands under the peach blossom sleeves gently grasped Shen Zaiye's thighs, his lips did not move, and his voice came out from between his teeth: "Master, the person opposite is obviously not your opponent, why are you doing this? "

"I am happy." Shen Zaiye smiled, and stuffed another piece of venison into her mouth: "He likes to watch it, so let him watch it enough."

Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Taohua looked at Li Jin on the opposite side who had been drinking, thinking that the two monarchs and ministers had discussed today to cheat Li Jin together, right?It's okay to cheat him, but there is Zhao Guo behind him, a person who doesn't know what to say when he's drunk, in case he says something that shouldn't be said...

"Prime Minister Shen."

Before she finished worrying, Li Jin really stood up, his face was slightly flushed, and his eyes were not clear-eyed: "Do you really like our princess?"

Seeing that there was a good show, Emperor Mingde put down his chopsticks, took Concubine Lan Gui's hand and watched with great interest.Concubine Lan Gui smiled apologetically, and her eyes fell on Shen Zaye, which was a bit complicated.

Shen Zaiye raised his eyes, smiled politely and said, "She is the mistress of my prime minister's mansion, and she is also Shen's official wife. Is there any reason not to like her?"

"Then do you know what she likes and what she hates?" Li Jin sneered: "The princess has been married for almost half a year. If you are sincere, these questions are not difficult to answer, right?"

With a jump in her heart, Tao Hua wanted to take the plate on the table and throw it at him!

On what occasion could you ask such a question?Is it appropriate in his capacity?He wants to die, can he not pull her back?

Shen Zaiye's eyes were dark, but he still had a smile on his face, and said calmly: "She likes money, eats meat, basks in the sun, hates betrayal, hates deception."

"Wrong." Li Jin shook his head: "She likes folk candied haws, but hates sesame seeds."

The surrounding area became lively, and many people lowered their heads and whispered, looking at Li Jin and Jiang Taohua with more meaning in their eyes.Shen Zaiye narrowed his eyes, and was about to say something more, but Taohua reached out and held him down.

"People's tastes will change." She smiled gently: "The candied haws that I liked when I was a child are nothing unusual when I grow up. The sesame seeds that I hated when I was a child are not so difficult to swallow when I grow up. My grandfather is right, now I like money, meat and sunshine, and hate betrayal and deceit, this is something that will never change in my life."

After all, he touched Shen Zaiye's arm and said, "I thought I didn't understand this, but I didn't expect you to care so much about my concubine even though you haven't said it..."

Shen Zaiya paused, and took a deep look at her: "Now you know that I treat you well?"

"It's because I'm stupid." Peach Blossom's eyes glowed, "Master is the best person in the whole world for my concubine!"

Emperor Mingde laughed and teased the case: "It's a good thing that you and your husband have a harmonious relationship, but this is still above the state banquet. Let's go home and talk about the rest."

"I'm rude." Shen Zaiye quickly cupped his hands, and Taohua also nodded, and after turning around with a smile, he gave Li Jin a hard look.

Li Jin pursed his lips and said nothing, his eyes were dull. After being stared at by her, he sat in his seat and didn't say a word again.Yang Wanqing next to him hurriedly smoothed things over: "Prime Minister Li and the princess love each other as brothers and sisters, and it is reasonable to care about the princess's fate, but it seems that the princess is doing well, so the ministers are relieved."
