邻 = 令 + 阝 : Li Qingzhao (li) just entered the encampment ((e)n2) and sees that her new neighbour (邻) is the Imperator (阝). The Imperator tells her that since he is the imperator, she will have to listen to him how to tend her garden. After listening for a while Li Qingzhao pulls out her name tag (令) and shows the imperator that she is a representative of the emperor, so that the imperator has no power over her.
