After the three of them finished their meal, Feng Hongyu put down his chopsticks and stood up.
Yu Yiluo noticed the jade pendant tied around Feng Hongyu's waist, then stood up and walked to her, pointing at the jade pendant around her waist.
"Can I see your jade pendant?"
Feng Hongyu was stunned, thinking that she liked it, so she smiled and took off the jade pendant from her waist and handed it to her.
"Princess, please look! Everyone in the royal family of Li Kingdom wears a jade pendant like this."
Yu Yiluo took the jade pendant, looked at the familiar pattern on it, and frowned slightly.
The pattern on Feng Hongyu's jade pendant is the same as the one her grandfather gave to her uncle and mother that day, except for the color of the jade.
How could the jade pendant worn by the royal family of Li Country be the same as my grandmother's? Could it be that my grandmother is related to Li Country?
[That shouldn't be the case. The book doesn't mention that my grandmother is from the country of Li.]
[No wonder I thought that jade pendant looked familiar. The book described the jade pendant worn by the princess, and it had the auspicious dragon and phoenix pattern on it.]
Yu Yiluo returned the jade pendant to Feng Hongyu.
"You people in Li Country all wear this jade pendant. Is it a symbol of status?"
"That's right," Feng Hongyu hung the jade pendant back on her waist. "Except for the Crown Princess and the Queen Mother, which are mutton-fat white, the jade pendants of the other royal family members are all emerald green."
[The half that mother has is mutton-fat white.]
With something on her mind, Yu Yiluo urgently needed to go back and confirm whether the jade pendant in Concubine Xian's place was indeed mutton-fat white. The prince knew her temper, so after Feng Hongyu left, he sent her back to Zuihua Palace.
As soon as Yu Yiluo entered Zuihua Palace, she threw herself into Empress Xian's arms.
"Mom, I'm back."
Empress Xian hugged her and raised her hand to touch the tip of her nose.
"Did you go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's place?"
Yu Yiluo nodded.
[Hehe, I also got to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs I had been craving, although there were only two pieces.]
Empress Xian: “…”
No wonder he was as happy as a cat stealing fish, it turned out that he had eaten pork ribs.
"Mother, where is the jade pendant that your grandfather gave you?"
Concubine Xian stood up, took the jade pendant and handed it to her, "Luo'er, why do you suddenly want to see this jade pendant?"
"The jade pendant of the Princess of Li Kingdom is very similar to this one."
Yu Yiluo confirmed that the jade pendant was indeed mutton-fat white and returned it to Empress Xian.
"Luo'er, do you think this jade pendant has a great origin?"
Empress Xian picked her up and walked to the table to sit down, then picked up a copy of Liguolu and opened it.
"Mother saw it too, but the Queen of Li Country is still alive, and your grandmother can't be the Queen of the previous generation given her age."
My father told me that my mother was an orphan. When my father was injured, my mother saved him. They fell in love with each other, so my father brought my mother back and married her.
"Yes, if my grandmother was truly from the Li Kingdom, and possessed such a noble jade pendant, then the people of the Li Kingdom would definitely come looking for her. However, the book doesn't mention the Queen of the Li Kingdom looking for her."
Yu Yiluo got down from Empress Xian's arms, walked to the window and whistled.
Soon, a chubby bird flapped its wings and landed on the windowsill in front of Yu Yiluo.
Yu Yiluo frowned.
[Why is there a fat one here? It should be flying very slowly. I should get a new one.]
Empress Xian: “…”
Yu Yiluo let go of the fat little bird in front of her, replaced it with a slim one, and whispered to the bird.
"Go to Li Country and see if the Queen is looking for someone."
After saying that, he opened his hands and the bird flapped its wings and flew away.
…
The next day.
While Yu Yiluo was still sleeping, she felt herself being helped to sit up and change clothes.
It was not until they arrived at the main hall that Yu Yiluo's sleepiness was driven away by the sound of talking.
[I'm so sleepy! I almost forgot that today is the day for the envoys from both countries to see the divine flowers. After seeing the divine flowers, the envoys from both countries should leave.]
[By the way, the divine flower didn't bloom last year, but it should bloom this year, otherwise Daddy wouldn't be so calm.]
The envoys of the two countries stood up and said in unison: "Your Majesty, can you please let us see the divine flowers of Tianqi today, so that we can take some of the blessings bestowed by the goddess back to our country."
"That's natural."
The emperor waved his hand, "Lord Luo, bring up the sacred flower."
Luo Ji came out holding the magic flower in both hands, and pretended to be mysterious by covering the magic flower with a red cloth.
"Your Majesty, why is this sacred flower covered with a red cloth?"
The two envoys were confused, but Yan Fan, who was sitting in the center of the ministers, sensed something. It was suspicious that the magic flower was not taken out last year, and the emperor did such a thing this year. Could something have happened to the magic flower?
No, he couldn't let the envoys of the two countries know about this incident, which would cause trouble and affect his ability to remove the emperor.
Coming back to his senses, Yan Fan winked obscurely at the woman in red next to the emperor. The woman in red was wondering when the Sixth Princess would bring him medicine, and she kept eating fruit in her hands, not noticing Yan Fan's wink at all.
Hongyi didn't notice it, but Yu Yiluo did.
【What is Yan Fan doing there, winking and making faces? 】
Yan Fan originally wanted Hongyi to take this opportunity to perform well in front of the emperor, but Hongyi was either only concerned with eating or staring blankly at the female members of the family, and didn't notice him at all.
He was so angry that he wanted to slap the man in red a few times.
"The sacred flower is not for anyone to see, so it must be covered with a red cloth."
Luo Ji walked to the center of the hall, placed the sacred flower on the long table in the center, and said with a bow, "Your Majesty, the sacred flower has been brought out."
"Lift the red cloth."
At the emperor's command, Luo Ji lifted the red cloth, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the divine flower.
The magical flower in the bottle was still in bud form and had not yet bloomed.
The bearded envoy stood up and pointed at the sacred flower, "Your Majesty, are you kidding us? This sacred flower hasn't even bloomed yet."
Yu Yiluo was also puzzled.
[Daddy, what is this? Bringing out a divine flower that hasn't even bloomed yet? Are you trying to make me show off?]
Li Yunhe stood up and said, "Just because it hasn't bloomed yet doesn't mean it won't bloom later."
As he said this, he looked at Yu Yiluo.
"Your Highness, Princess, I'm sorry to bother you with this divine flower in full bloom."
The bearded envoy sneered, "Are you joking, sir? The fact that the divine flower hasn't bloomed means that Tianqi is no longer under the protection of the goddess."
When I return to the country and tell the Khan about this, he will definitely agree to attack Tianqi together with the Princess of Li.
Yu Yiluo walked from the top to the front of the magical flower and thought to himself.
[You really want me to show off. 】
She raised her hand to touch the magical flower. The moment she touched the magical flower, the bud that was originally tightly closed quickly opened, and then the buds next to it emerged one after another and opened as well.
The flower is bright red, like blood. The pollen on the stamens slowly floats around the magical flower when it blooms, like stars in the sky, which is very beautiful.
[Hey, I haven't even used the cheat code to show off yet, how come the magic flower has already bloomed?]
【Don’t mention it, it’s actually quite pretty. 】
[And why does Li Yunhe always have this mysterious confidence in me? Previously the lychee tree, now the divine flower. Could he be my little fanboy?]
[No wonder he was so happy when I just praised him casually. It turns out he thinks of me as his idol.]
"This," Luo Ji said in shock, "Your Majesty, since the founding of Tianqi, there have never been so many divine flowers in bloom."
