4. Meet in the garden

Sima Yue didn't leave the palace that night.

According to Empress Dowager Li's intentions, she originally wanted to clean up two rooms in her palace and come out, so that Sima Yue would live in the palace in the future, and their ancestors and grandchildren would accompany each other in the morning and evening, but in the end they were politely rejected by Sima Yue.

The reason for her refusal was very simple, King Jiangling specially bought a courtyard here in the capital for her schooling. I heard that the courtyard was next to the Royal Academy, so that she could study in the morning and evening. However, the palace is some distance from the Royal Academy, and it is not very convenient to come and go.

Naturally, this is only a superficial reason, but in fact, she really doesn't want to live in the palace, she is too uncomfortable.

When Empress Dowager Li heard this, she had no choice but to give up. But she still strongly hopes that Sima Yue will live in the palace before she goes to school, so that she can accompany her sooner or later.

When Sima Yue heard this, he had no choice but to agree.

And now, Sima Yue is walking around the palace when he is in the warbler, accompanied by a palace maid specially assigned by Empress Dowager Li.

Empress Dowager Li originally accompanied her out to go shopping. But after all, the old man is old, and the palace is not small, after walking around for half a circle, although she didn't say anything, Sima Yue could still see that she was very tired, so she said some good things and coaxed her to go back and rest first.

Before Empress Dowager Li went back, she specially left the most powerful palace maid next to her, Honglian, to accompany Sima Yue, and then told Sima Yue to go back later.

For dinner, Dean Wang was invited to discuss her admission, and no matter how she said it, she had to let the family see how she looked before deciding whether to accept it or not.

However, Sima Yue said that he was not very concerned about whether he could enter the Royal Academy.

In my last life, I started in elementary school and studied all the way for 16 years. Speaking of which, the last four years of college have passed quite leisurely, but the first twelve years have been a lot of hardship. No, it's been less than a year since she graduated and worked hard in the workplace, and the god of fate made a big joke with her and kicked her here.

I didn't want to come here for less than a month, and in the blink of an eye, I was faced with going to school. Sima Yue sincerely hoped that Dean Wang, who was said to be a very good character, would not look down on her and would not accept her.

So she secretly made a decision, she must show a little bit later, and then a little worse, it is best to let that Dean Wang see her shaking her head and waving her hand repeatedly, and then turn around and leave.

With such careful thoughts, Sima Yue turned around and walked slowly towards the palace where Empress Dowager Li lived.

It was late autumn and early winter, and the flowers in the imperial garden were exhausted, and there were pots of bonsai of different shapes placed beside the path made of stones.

As she walked, Sima Yue looked at these bonsai placed on the side of the road, wondering in her heart what to do later to make that Dean Wang frown when he saw her.

I was thinking about it, and suddenly I heard Yingshi whispering to her next to her: "Princess." ”

Since Emperor Qinglong promoted her to princess yesterday, Yingshi's title for her has also changed.

"Huh?" Sima Yue turned his head to look at her a little dazedly.

But the warbler motioned for her to look ahead.

She followed the warbler's gaze and saw a group of women walking towards her.

In a group of people, there are two young girls who are very well dressed and dressed.

A yellow dress and a red dress, a blue dress and a green skirt, all of which are surrounded by pearls and greens on their heads, and they are rich and powerful.

The path made of stones was not wide, although the girl in the yellow dress and red dress walked in front of the two people, and the girl in the blue dress and green dress was two or three steps behind, but it was basically equivalent to moving forward side by side, which blocked the way of Sima Yue and the others.

So Sima Yue turned to the side of the path, thinking that the group of people on the opposite side would walk over first, and then they would go over again.

I didn't want the two girls on the other side to stop when they saw them.

"The slave maid has seen Princess Anyang, Princess Xinyang."

Honglian suddenly leaned over and saluted the two girls, and said loudly at the same time.

Sima Yue knew that the reason why Honglian was so loud was actually to inform her of the identities of the two girls opposite.

It's just a princess, Sima Yue thought, I'm also a princess, everyone is just equal, am I still afraid of them.

After being forcibly left in her palace by Empress Dowager Li yesterday evening, Sima Yue had already found out the basic situation in the palace. I know that Emperor Qinglong had a total of two queens, the first queen and the Empress Dowager Li were from the same family, both from the Li family of Zhao County. It's just that Empress Li has a thin face, and she lost her fragrance at a young age, leaving behind two sons, it is Sima Yuan, who is now 20 years old and has been canonized as the crown prince, and Sima Xuan, the second prince who has been canonized as the king of Langya and is now 17 years old. The current queen of Emperor Qinglong, surnamed Cui, is from the Boling Cui clan and has a daughter and a son.

The girl in the yellow dress and red dress in front of her is the daughter of Queen Cui, the fourteen-year-old Princess Sima Yu of Anyang. As for the girl in the blue dress and green dress, she was born by Concubine Xian, Sima Jin, who was the same age as Sima Yu and was named Princess Xinyang.

Sima Yu and Sima Jin had never seen Sima Yue, and both of them were looking at Sima Yue at this time.

Sima Yue glanced at them casually, and then looked away at the surrounding scenery.

Sima Yu was born by the queen of the Middle Palace, and since he can remember, he has lived a life like the stars and the moon, and he has long been accustomed to everyone's admiration and awe. Seeing that Sima Yue didn't care about her so much, he was already very uneasy in his heart.

"Red Lotus," she asked, raising her chin and in a very bad tone, "who is this person?" Can anyone enter or leave the Imperial Garden? Why don't you fork it out quickly? ”

Although Honglian is just a maid, she has served the Empress Dowager Li for many years, and her position in the palace is still very high. It's Emperor Qinglong, and he hasn't been so vicious when he spoke to her.

But Honglian listened to Sima Yu's words, but did not show the slightest dissatisfaction on her face, but still had a decent smile on her face, and said softly: "Back to Princess Anyang, this is the daughter of King Jiangling, Princess Duanhua." ”

When Sima Yu heard this, he glanced at Sima Yue with disdain, and then said with disdain: "Oh, it turns out that you are the fool that my queen mother said about you." ”

Sima Yue felt for a while that this Sima Yu's IQ was actually quite anxious.

You say that she pulls hatred for herself, but what she said just now is not clear that she also pulled hatred for her mother? Thanks to this Sima Yu, she met a magnanimous her, if it was the original Sima Yue standing here now, I am afraid that it would be directly swept away with a whip.

"yes, I'm that idiot." Sima Yue was not angry, but smiled with a smile.

It's just an underage girl who doesn't know the height of the sky, forget it, she's an adult with a big heart, so she doesn't bother to bother with her.

I didn't want Sima Yu to hear what she said, and the disdain on her face became even stronger for a while.

"A fool is a fool, and people don't know how to be angry when they point their noses to their faces and say that they are stupid, but they are happy as if they are praising her. Ah Jin, you said, it's strange that Wang Jun will accept her into the Royal Academy. ”

Although Sima Jin next to her is also a princess, her son is more expensive than her mother, and the gold content of the princess born to her concubine is not as high as the gold content of the princess born to the queen of the middle palace.

So she also hurriedly echoed and smiled: "Not really." It's just a fool, thanks to the king of Gangneung, he sent her to the capital to go to school, and he also wanted to enter the best royal academy. In my opinion, her stupidity is also hereditary? ”

Hey, that's a bit of an exaggeration.

Aside from the relationship between the royal monarch and the minister, King Jiangling is the uncle of Sima Yu and Sima Jin, and the younger generation speaks of the elder like this, which is not just described by the words "I don't know the sky, the earth, the earth, and the thickness".

Sima Yue felt that it was necessary for her to discipline Empress Cui and Concubine Xian for their daughters.

So she looked at Sima Yu, stretched out her hand to her, and said with a look of sudden realization on her face: "Oh, I know who you are." You're the princess who wanted to go to the Royal Academy, but in the end the dean didn't accept anything. ”

Not being able to enter the Royal Academy has always been the biggest pain in Sima Yu's heart, and she thinks it is a great shame, so she never allows anyone to mention it. But I don't want to be said so bluntly by Sima Yue now, and I said it in front of so many people.

She was furious, her pretty face turned red, and regardless of her status as a princess, she hurriedly walked a few steps forward, looking like she was going to beat Sima Yue.

Sima Yue is naturally not afraid of Sima Yu. Just kidding, how can I say that she is also an adult, just like Sima Yu, in her eyes, she is just a child who is in junior high school. If you really want to make a move, she can't beat her?

So she raised her chin slightly, and looked at Sima Yu who came over angrily without fear.

Sima Yu originally wanted to rush over and slap Sima Yue a few times. But I didn't want her to just come to her, and a maid next to her rushed out to block Sima Yue.

The maid was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a beautiful face, but the coldness in her eyebrows and eyes was like an ice pick, unabashedly coming towards her.

After all, Sima Yu was pampered and brought up, and the people she saw every day were all holding her, and when she saw such a person as Yingshi, she stood there in horror and didn't dare to move.

Honglian was originally standing next to her, thinking that it was just a quarrel between a few children's families, and as a maid, she was wise enough to protect herself. I didn't want to see this matter getting worse now, and there was a tendency to change from moving to doing, so I hurriedly said: "This gravel road is the most uneven, Princess Anyang be careful under your feet." ”

While shouting at the palace maid behind: "Don't you still support Princess Anyang?" If the princess has a mistake, can the queen spare you? ”

He turned around again and said respectfully to Sima Yue: "It's not too early, the Queen Mother is still waiting." Princess Duanhua, let's go back first. ”

Without a trace, she pointed out the people standing behind Sima Yu and Sima Yue, who really deserved to be the people who had been in the palace for so long.

How could Sima Yue not understand? As the saying goes, more things are better than less, although she is good to have the queen mother as a backer behind, but Sima Yu's backer behind him should not be underestimated, so let's accept it when I see it.

So she stopped talking, and planned to go straight to it.

But she understands, it doesn't mean that Sima Yu will understand.

"Stop," Sima Yu blocked her way, her little face was still flushed with anger, "You are just the daughter of a little prince, and you dare to not salute when you see this princess?" If you don't understand the rules so much, how did your father and mother teach you? ”

Sima Yue stood still, looked at the face in front of her, and thought to herself, should she fight or not?
