Sima Yue originally faintly sensed that Wang Jun should like her.

It's just that she is not very confident, and thinks that Wang Jun's goods are a giant bull fork, and he is also the patriarch of the Taiyuan Wang clan and the dean of the Royal Academy. The second is that although Wang Jun's goods are ambiguous enough to her sometimes, sometimes they are very strict and serious, so she can't tell what kind of trouble he wants to make at all.

So as soon as this shocking sentence came out, Sima Yue's first reaction was to ask repeatedly: "You said that Wang Jun likes me?" What does he like about me? Are you sure you read that right, he really likes me? Why do you think he likes me? ”

Yingshi is a person who doesn't talk much, but now the repeated bombardment of Shang Sima Yue can only be explained one by one.

"The slave maid thinks that there is no need for any reason to like someone, just look at the right eye. As for why I think Dean Wang likes the princess, well, I think Dean Wang's eyes on the princess are not quite the same as ours, and the slave can't say that feeling. In short, Dean Wang must like the princess, and this slave will never be mistaken. ”

"He likes me, he really likes me"

Sima Yue sat down in a chair beside him like a noodle rolled in boiling water, and kept saying this sentence in his mouth.

With every word, she felt that a heart in her chest was rising a little, and in the end, it was almost going to rise to the sky.

She hated Wang Jun right in front of her for a while, grabbed his hand and asked him fiercely, do you really like me? But she didn't dare, she was afraid that when the sentence came out, she would be ridiculed by others, how could I like you little girl?

Sima Yue felt that his heart was like frying in an oil pan, and he was worried about turning it over.

It's just that I haven't been worried for long, and someone from the palace has come.

The person who came was Eunuch Li, leading a few small eunuchs and guards, saying that he had been instructed by Empress Dowager Li to take Princess Duanhua and King Langya into the palace.

When Sima Yue entered the palace a few days ago, Empress Dowager Li specially told her how to spend the winter vacation. According to the meaning of the Empress Dowager Li, the winter vacation is very short, and if you go back to Jiangling, it is estimated that it will take nearly a month to go back and forth on the road, and the time is wasted on the road, which is not worth it. Therefore, the meaning of the Empress Dowager Li is not to let her go back to Jiangling, but to write a letter to ask the king of Jiangling and the princess of Jiangling to come to the capital, and everyone will reunite and have a lively New Year together.

But King Jiangling has always been unable to let go of what happened back then, so even though Empress Dowager Li and Sima Yue jointly wrote a sincere letter to the past, they were finally rejected by King Jiangling.

King Jiangling means that since Sima Yue was born, he has not accompanied Empress Dowager Li for so many years, so let Sima Yue accompany Empress Dowager Li to celebrate the New Year this year. And because the first day of the Lunar New Year next year is a good day for Sima Yue and Lu, it is just a good day for Empress Dowager Li to preside over her ceremony. At the end of the letter, he said earnestly that his son was not filial and could not wait by the side day and day, and could only wish his mother good health day and night in Jiangling. In the end, he called Emperor Qinglong over and counted them well.

So although it was only the first day of the winter vacation today, Empress Dowager Li couldn't wait to send someone over to welcome her into the palace.

After Neijian Li told Sima Yue the message of the Empress Dowager Li, he bowed respectfully, saying that he would go to Sima Xuan next door to read the message of the Empress Dowager Li again.

Although Emperor Qinglong also had more than a dozen children, among so many grandchildren, the only ones that Empress Dowager Li valued the most were Sima Yuan, Sima Xuan and Sima Yue.

Of course, Sima Yue needless to say, she is the daughter of her most beloved youngest son, and she has not met for so many years, so she naturally loves her very much. Sima Yuan and Sima Xuan are because their queen mother is from her Zhao County Li family, and protecting the two of them is equivalent to protecting her Zhao County Li family.

Li Neijian went next door, and Sima Yue began to pack up everything he wanted to take to the palace.

Finally, after everything was tied, Sima Xuan also came in from the main entrance.

Sima Xuan thought that he had just gotten up, and as soon as he came to her, he first softened his body in the chair, and then shouted continuously: "Is there anything to eat?" I'm starving to death. ”

Sima Yue hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so poetry and painting hurriedly brought breakfast over.

Although it is more appropriate to call it lunch now.

Breakfast is Yutian fragrant rice porridge, steamed cakes, chrysanthemum roasted wheat, osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake, and a few pickles.

As soon as Sima Yue saw the osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake, he immediately thought of Wang Jun.

As soon as she thought of Wang Jun, her heart that had just calmed down immediately rippled again.

She bit the tip of her chopsticks and thought to herself, does he really like me? Alas, it's a pity that he has already gone far away, otherwise it would be a big deal to pull down his face and ask him, but fortunately, he is here to speculate and speculate.

"Hey, hey," there was a sudden sound in her ears, and she suddenly came back to her senses, and looked up to see Sima Xuan stretching out his hand and dangling it in front of her eyes.

"Yue'er, what do you think about so distractedly? I called you for a long time, but I didn't see you react. ”

Sima Yue's face turned slightly red, and he stretched out the chopsticks in his hand to knock on the back of Sima Xuan's hand.

"You don't care what I think, eat your food."

"I've already eaten it, and I've been waiting for you for a long time. Are you going to go or not? ”

Although Sima Yue didn't eat a few bites, her heart was now full of thinking about whether Wang Jun really liked her, and where could she still have the heart to eat.

Putting down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, the warbler had already put all the things he was going to bring into the carriage.

The north wind was cold, and Sima Xuan was too lazy to ride a horse, so Tian shamelessly climbed into Sima Yue's carriage, found a comfortable position to nest, and then began to talk with her without a word.

Sima Yue always remembered in his heart whether Wang Jun really liked her, where was he in the mood to pay attention to him? It's just a perfunctory casual treat.

Sima Xuan chatted for a while, then suddenly sat up straight, clapped his hands and smiled with her: "I almost forgot, my eldest brother came back a few days ago, saying that he really wanted to see you." We'll see my eldest brother later. ”

The eldest brother mentioned in Sima Xuan's mouth is naturally Sima Yuan, the crown prince of the dynasty.

When Sima Yue first came to the capital, Sima Yuan happened to patrol the sky on behalf of the sky and went to the southern provinces to inspect for his son, so he never saw him.

Sima Yuan, at the age of twenty and ten, was appointed as the next prince. He is calm and quiet, and he is the first student to graduate after Wang Jun became the dean of the Royal Academy.

Sima Yue silently gave all the information about Sima Yuan in his heart, and then thought that if this Sima Yuan could graduate with Wang Jun's approval, it would naturally mean that his grades in all subjects were excellent. So, he's actually a very powerful person, isn't he?

At the moment she guessed, the carriage had already entered the palace gate.

A few days ago, there was heavy snowfall, and there was snow everywhere, but the roads in the palace had already been cleaned by the palace and the inner supervisor, and only there was a thick layer of snow on the glazed tiles overhead.

Originally, when I entered the palace, I was going to sit in a sedan chair, but after this kind of sedan chair without any cover was sat up, it was blown by the small north wind, and it was really going to be blown into a popsicle.

It's better to walk.

So Sima Yue stopped the sedan chair and got down and walked by himself.

When Sima Xuan saw it, he immediately climbed down from the sedan chair and walked with her.

The two of them walked and talked all the way, but they didn't feel cold. It's just that after walking like this for a while, I saw a sudden noise in front of me.

Sima Yue had a gossip heart, so he immediately came to watch.

It turned out that Princess Sima Yu of Anyang was reprimanding Gong E.

That Gong E didn't look very old, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and on such a cold day, she knelt directly on the cold ground, her whole body trembled, and she was being crackled and smacked by an internal supervisor.

Sima Yue stood next to him for a while, and immediately understood the ins and outs.

It turned out that Sima Yu passed by here in a sedan chair, and he didn't watch out for an ice ridge that suddenly fell under the eaves. Although it didn't hurt her, it scared her a lot. She immediately became angry, and asked her to call the palace eunuch who was in charge of cleaning up the place today, and then ordered her to kneel on the ground, and asked one of the eunuchs with her to come forward and slap her in the mouth.

According to the rules of the palace, you can't slap Gong E's face, unless the other party has done something extremely desty, because face is the foundation of a woman's rise and fall in life. Sima Yu came up like this and directly ordered to smoke other people's mouths, which was actually a bit excessive. And she still asked the inner supervisor to slap the face of the palace lady with the sole of her shoe, so that the palace lady will not be able to raise her head and be a person in the palace in the future.

Sima Yue whipped the palace lady into tears, but he didn't dare to shout bitterly, just gritted his teeth and endured it there.

Sima Yue felt a little unbearable for a while, and was about to step forward to say a few words, but remembering the dispute between her and Sima Yu last time, it was estimated that if she opened her mouth to intercede for that Gong E, Sima Yu was afraid that she would be more annoyed, and the punishment for that Gong E would be heavier.

So she quietly pulled Sima Xuan's sleeve, and motioned for him to open his mouth to ask Sima Yu for a favor with her eyes.

Sima Yu was originally facing away from the two of them, but she didn't see the two of them standing here. Now Sima Xuan saw that Sima Yue asked him to intercede for Nagong E, so he planned to turn to Sima Yu and say it well.

It's just that he had just taken two steps when he heard a cold voice behind him: "What are you doing here?" ”

Sima Yue turned around when he heard the sound, and saw a young man walking steadily behind him.

Judging by his appearance, he is five or six points similar to Sima Xuanchang, but compared to Sima Xuan's jumping aura, this person knows at a glance that he is a calm and introverted person.

Sima Yue thought, this must be the legendary prince Sima Yuan.
