Afterwards, the gifts given by the little prince and princesses were more childlike, making Emperor Huiwen laugh heartily.

The queen's seat was vacant, so the highest-ranking concubine took the lead in congratulating her. The concubine gave her a jade pillow polished with thousand-year-old jade, which was said to help calm the mind. Emperor Huiwen asked Leng Yi to accept the gift without saying a word, but Concubine Yu The picture of hundreds of animals serving the dragon, embroidered together with the concubines in the harem, greatly pleased Emperor Huiwen.

Then the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs presented the gift. Originally, as the head of the hundred officials, Mo Xuan should be the first to present the gift, but Qingyun told Emperor Huiwen that Mo Xuan and her had prepared a gift together, so from Lin Bingquan and Han Jingwen, Li Zhengxun and the others started, and the ministers congratulated them in order of rank.

After everyone had finished presenting their gifts, Emperor Huiwen looked at his beloved daughter and smiled and said, "Jiu'er, I can't wait to see your gift."

Qing Yunsu waved her hand, and eight purple-clothed guards walked to the center of the banquet carrying a scroll, and then slowly unfolded the scroll. A picture about three feet wide and five feet long suddenly came into view. Everyone could see the picture. There are mountains, rivers, city walls, avenues, and markers of various colors.

Everyone looked at the painting with wide eyes, and some even stood up in surprise to get a better look.

Emperor Huiwen looked shocked, then stood up, strode to the scroll with the support of Qingyun, stretched out his hand to touch every part of the scroll, and said with excitement: "Jiu'er, is this the topographic map of our Jin country? "

"Back to my father, this is indeed the topographic map of our Jin Kingdom. It was completed by the concerted efforts of your ministers, Prime Minister Han, as well as the purple guards and secret guards. However, most of them were visited by Prime Minister Han himself during his rest period. Place." Qingyun glanced at Mo Xuan, then pointed to the scroll: "Father, please look, this is the capital, this is Beiyuan County, this is Yanmen Pass, this is Chu State, this is Zhou State, this is Liang State... Also, this is Fengyin Mountain, this is Dongyuan River, this is the official road leading to the Daxia tribe..."

Under Qingyun's explanation of the vast country of Jin, every inch of land seemed to be clearly visible in front of everyone's eyes.

Sima Rui, Sima Qi and Sima Xian looked at Qing Yun in amazement and doting, while Sima Yue had a look of admiration on his face, admiring Qing Yun so much.

The expressions on the faces of the imperial concubine, Sima Chun, Lin Bingquan, and the Taiwei group changed drastically.

The rest of the people looked at each other, looked at Qingyun, and then at Mo Xuan, with different expressions.

When Prime Minister Han was ten years old, he left the capital to rest in Taifu Han's hometown due to his frail health. He succeeded him as prime minister for only a month, so how could he be so close to the Ninth Princess?

Could it be that under the guise of going back to his hometown to rest, Prime Minister Han secretly conducted field investigations on the orders of the Ninth Princess to draw this national topographic map?

But ten years ago, the ninth princess was only five years old. No matter how smart she was, she wouldn't have thought of drawing such a picture, right?

Taking in everyone's expressions, especially the subtle changes on Lin Bingquan's face, Qingyun had a cryptic smile on his lips.

In fact, she had never thought of drawing such a topographic map, but once she heard Bingying say that it would be great if there was a map. No matter whether she was marching, fighting, or visiting somewhere, it would be clear at a glance.

She asked Bingying what a map was, and Bingying gave her a rough explanation.

So she thought about drawing a map and told Chen Yu. Chen Yu also thought the idea was very good and said that he had visited many places while collecting herbs.

After making up her mind, she sent people to go to each place in person, with the capital as the center, extending in all directions, and recorded the local terrain. With the assistance of Bingying and Yan Nuo, it took nearly a year to draw such a map. A national topographic map.

There are also detailed maps of each county, but she does not intend to let outsiders know.

At this time, not only the civil and military ministers of Jin were shocked, but also Chu Yunyi and the envoys from other countries were inexplicably horrified.

Looking at the unparalleled Qingyun, Princess Wuyun's eyes flashed with shock, and there was also a hint of envy and sullenness.

When she first saw Qing'er, she knew that Qing'er's mental strategy was outstanding, just because Sima Chun was willing to hide his extraordinary talents.

Now, Qing'er actually thought of drawing such a rare topographic map. It's no wonder that the Jin Emperor doted on Qing'er so much. Not only did he consult Qing'er on everything, he even broke the ancestral system for Qing'er. No matter what his father did, If you pamper her, you won't let her do whatever she wants.

She admired Qing'er, envied Qing'er, and at the same time hated Qing'er. If Qing'er hadn't used the imperial uncle's incident to stir up civil strife in Zhou Dynasty, Zhou's financial and military losses would not have been so heavy. Even if she tried her best to govern, she was afraid that It would take at least ten years for the Zhou Kingdom to return to its previous strength and prosperity.

What made her feel even more disappointed was that the sisterhood between her and Qing'er for many years was gone due to their different stances.

At this point, there was nothing she could do, she just hoped that one day they would not meet each other in war.

Emperor Huiwen couldn't put it down and caressed the huge topographic map, exclaiming excitedly: "Okay, okay, it's really good!" Long Yan was delighted.

Obviously, for this birthday, Sima Rui's snow-lined clothes, Sima Yue's military chess, and Qingyun's national topographic map made him most satisfied.

He ordered Leng Yi to lead people to hang the topographic map in the Jinluan Hall. Thinking that every day when he entered the Jinluan Hall and raised his eyes, he could see the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers of the Jin Kingdom. Emperor Huiwen's heart was filled with enthusiasm, and his laughter became louder and more joyful.

But what puzzled everyone was that Emperor Huiwen did not reward the Ninth Princess, Mo Xuan and others in public, but took the Ninth Princess's hand back to sit on the dragon throne. What exactly was going on?

Seeing the surprised and suspicious looks of everyone, Emperor Huiwen naturally understood what everyone was thinking, and then said majestically: "Publish the decree, the purple guards and secret guards assisted the ninth princess. Prime Minister Han has worked hard to draw the topographic map, and he has given each of them a hundred taels of gold and ten hu of pearls. Twenty pieces of brocade, as for Jiu'er and Prime Minister Han, I will give you a big reward later."

Jiu'er and Mo Xuan only want him to fulfill their relationship. If he rewards him in public, Jiu'er may be too concerned about him to speak up, but Mo Xuan will definitely bring up the old matter again. If he doesn't agree, it would be a loss of dignity. Xiao, I will regret it if I hurt Jiu'er's heart in public.

Before, he was still hesitant about whether to grant a marriage, but now he is not in a hurry, because Chu Yunyi is obviously prepared this time, and he will look at the situation before making a decision.

Qingyun understood that her father still refused to agree to her marriage to Chen Yu, and thought that today was her father's birthday. At the same time, she thought of how she had violated her father's wishes in her previous life, resulting in her father and daughter never seeing each other again until their death. In the end, she regretted it so much, He didn't say anything, just looked at Mo Xuan and shook his head without any trace.

Mo Xuan smiled affectionately in return, telling her to rest assured that he would not embarrass her on such an occasion. However, the eyes he looked at Emperor Huiwen were as deep as the sea.

Xiyan is destined to be my wife, and no one can stop her!

There are no absolutes in the world, and it is still unclear who Jiu'er's wife is until the end! Emperor Huiwen stared back at Mo Xuan not to be outdone.

Let's just wait and see! An evil smile appeared on Mo Xuan's lips.

Okay, I want to see what you are really capable of! Emperor Huiwen's slender eyes were shining with a faint light.

Seeing the two people fighting silently, Leng Yi rolled his eyes: Childish!

Starry eyes flickered between Mo Xuan and Chu Yunyi. Sima Xian's face was as calm as the wind, and his eyes were as calm as the wind.

Although these two people are both dragons among men, one is short-lived and the other is the king of a country. Obviously, neither of them is a good match for Jiu'er, and the candidates he is most satisfied with are always Situ Jingyu and Lou Haiyang, because

The two of them are not prominent and have no great ambitions, so they are of no harm to Jiu'er.

However, it seems that the father has some plans, so he will wait and see how things get better.

Mrs. Han had been paying attention to her son. Although she could not understand the meaning of the eyes between her son and the emperor, she was keenly aware that the emperor seemed not to want her son to be with Jiu'er. It seemed that he was concerned about his son's health. She couldn't help but dim her eyes.

After all, it was she who harmed her son.

Feeling the depressed mood of his wife beside him, Han Jingwen felt pity in his heart. He quietly held her cold hand and whispered: "Relax, Ming Ji is extremely smart and will definitely find a way to persuade the emperor to agree to this deal."

Regarding the marriage, Jiu'er has a deep love for Ming Ji. He solemnly made a promise in front of you and me that day that he will never leave Ming Ji in this life! You, sooner or later, will drink Jiu'er's cup of daughter-in-law tea.

"

"I feel sorry for Ming Ji, and I feel deeply ashamed of Jiu'er." Mrs. Han sighed with tears in her eyes: "It's really hard for these two miserable children."

Han Jingwen nodded with deep sympathy: Ming Ji could not live to be twenty-five years old, Jiu'er had been withered since childhood and suffered from cold poison every month. Aren't their lives miserable?

Yun Fei left his seat, and Long Ying appeared. They both knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Wei ministers (subordinates) thank the emperor for your kindness on behalf of the purple guards (secret guards)!" After receiving Emperor Huiwen's order, they all returned to their respective places.

Picking up the wine glass on the table, Qingyun smiled at Emperor Huiwen and said, "My sons and ministers, I wish my father happiness, longevity and health, and that our Kingdom of Jin will last forever!"

Everyone also stood up and raised their glasses.

"Okay!" Emperor Huiwen's joy was beyond words, and he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing Emperor Huiwen put down his wine glass, everyone drank the fine wine in their hands and sat down one after another.

Waved to Leng Yi, Leng Yi then filled up another glass of wine for Emperor Huiwen. Emperor Huiwen raised his glass and said to Chu Yunyi and others: "Emperor Chu, Princess Wuyun, King Liang Sui and envoys from various countries can come to our country to congratulate you.

I am very happy and would like to thank you all for coming all the way!"

Chu Yunyi and other envoys from various countries raised their glasses one after another: "Your Majesty Jin, you're welcome. We wish Emperor Jin a long life!" Seeing Emperor Huiwen drink the wine from the glass, the envoys all raised their glasses and drank.

Emperor Huiwen glanced at Leng Yi. Leng Yi understood and was about to arrange for the dancer to enter the stage to add to the fun. Suddenly, a sharp and frightening voice sounded, 'Ah...', which almost penetrated everyone's eardrums, and everyone's expressions suddenly changed in shock:

Who is so unruly that he yelled at the emperor's birthday banquet?
