Chapter 17: First Meeting
Hearing that Sima Yao came to the door in person, Sima Daozi was really a little stunned, counting, he was named the king of Langya at the age of nine, and soon moved out of the palace and lived alone in the palace.
This Ding came here to spread the word, looking quite anxious, it seemed that the situation was urgent, at this time Tao Ge was still changing clothes inside, Sima Daozi wanted to say hello to her before leaving, but in this situation, I am afraid that it will be too late.
Sima Daozi hurried to the front hall, but saw Sima Yao sitting on a chair drinking tea, holding the teacup with a calm expression, and he didn't look like an emperor at all.
When Sima Yao put down the teacup and saw him sideways, he stood up and looked at him, showing a faint smile, and called: "Seventh! ”
Sima Daozi walked over when he heard the sound and stood in front of Sima Yao, the two brothers were very similar in shape, and the age difference was only two years old. He was wearing a blue robe, while Sima Yao was wearing a dark wide-sleeved robe, with Cangyu tied around his waist, and he was extravagant, even if he was wearing civilian clothes, there was an imperial atmosphere between his eyebrows.
"The emperor's brother is driving, the courtier's brother is far away, and it is rude," Sima Daozi stepped forward and bowed down first, Sima Yao hurriedly helped him up, and said: "Our brothers, we still take care of these courtesies." ”
Sima Daozi straightened up, with a shallow smile on his face, and asked, "Brother Huang came over today, what is the matter?" ”
"It's nothing," Sima Yao walked past him and walked straight outside, as if he wanted to walk around the house, Sima Daozi also turned around and followed, walking side by side with him, Sima Yao said: "Lao Qi did not go to the court this morning, nor did he send anyone to the palace to inform me, I thought you had something happening here, so I came to take a look." ”
Speaking of the matter of the early dynasty today, Sima Daozi was supposed to go, who wanted to receive the letter, and rushed to Miaoyinfang, this came and went, he also forgot about the early dynasty, he laughed, and said: "Brother Huang forgives the sin, the younger brother took a break yesterday, and his friends went out to play in the mountains and rivers, and when he returned home at night, he was tired, and he rested early, who knew that he overslept this morning, and when he woke up, he was dizzy, and he forgot about the early dynasty." ”
Sima Yao snorted and said, "Lao Qiyan is heavy, if you don't have an early dynasty, how can I blame you." ”
When the words fell, Sima Daozi lowered his eyebrows and smiled, but did not answer, the two of them were walking towards the backyard. Now in early spring, when a hundred flowers are blooming, the scenery on the left and right is also pleasant, Sima Yao glanced around, naturally it is pleasing to the eye, "I remember the last time, it seems that it was five years ago, when Lao Qi and Rusheng got married, but it was extremely festive." ”
Sima Yao just finished speaking, and happened to see Wang Minhui and Liu walking side by side, so Sima Yao said: "Say Cao Cao Cao will arrive." ”
Wang Minhui and Liu approached, and Sima Yao said: "Rusheng came just in time, go with me and Lao Qi." ”
"Yes."
It stands to reason that with the emperor, Liu, as a concubine, must not be able to get on the stage, but she met Sima Yao again, so it is naturally difficult to retreat, not to mention that after she is a member of the Shu Han royal family, she prides herself on being superior, so she took the initiative to follow.
"I heard that there is a girl named Tao Ge in Lao Qifu, and she killed Chongde's sister-in-law's distant niece, I don't know if this is true or not?"
(Chongde's sister-in-law refers to the Empress Dowager Chu Garlic, the Empress Dowager Chu is titled Chongde, and she is Sima Yao's sister-in-law, not an elder, just a peer)
Hearing this, Sima Daozi was shocked, and Liu was obviously stunned, but the corners of Wang Minhui's lips showed a hint of a smile.
Since Fu'er died, the palace has gone up and down, and only the Liu family has been talking about Fu'er's death all day long, involving the relationship between Sima Daozi and the Empress Dowager Chu, and only the Liu family often thinks about handing over Tao Ge to the Empress Dowager Chu for disposal, and now that Sima Yao actually knows about it, the first one who everyone suspects is naturally the Liu family.
For example, Sima Daozi, when she heard this, she turned her head and glanced at Liu, but Liu's heart was "chuckling", she and Sima Daozi looked at each other, her eyes were full of surprise and grievances, she clearly wanted to tell him that this matter was not revealed to her in the palace.
But Sima Daozi just looked at her for a moment, and he looked back in a blink of an eye, where was there still a chance for Liu to exonerate himself.
"Brother Huang," Sima Daozi explained unhurriedly, "Fu'er's death is strange, not just as simple as others see, Taoge...... It must have been wronged. ”
Hearing this, Sima Yao laughed heartily, looked at him sideways, and only said: "Lao Qi is dedicated to defending Tao Ge, and he seems to have a heart for her?" ”
Sima Daozi was silent, Sima Yao smiled, and then said: "How can the woman that Lao Qi loves be a wicked person." ”
This seems to be a reference, and most of the people understand it, probably except for Liu and Zhou Yuan.
Sima Yao said, turned around, and said, "Don't worry, this matter has been settled, and there will be no more chaos." ”
Everyone walked a few more steps, and walked to the Lisi Courtyard for no reason, Tao Ge had already changed into clothes, she couldn't find Sima Daozi when she went out, and she didn't see Ru Qianqiu, so she simply sat on the stone bench under the begonia tree in the courtyard and waited, she was facing the study, with her back to everyone, and then she heard the movement behind her, and turned around.
Sima Daozi saw her sitting in the courtyard from a distance, for fear that she would turn back, but she still turned back.
Tao Ge gave birth to a face exactly the same as Wang Fahui, Sima Yao saw her, naturally shocked, and full of suspicion, Sima Daozi saw him so stunned, and his heart was also really panicked, fortunately, Tao Ge is now dressed as a man, although that face is very similar to Wang Fahui, but it will not make Sima Yao move the idea of taking it for himself.
Sima Yao always looked at her in a daze, but Tao Ge didn't seem to see it, her eyes were only on Sima Daozi, she got up to greet her, stood in front of Sima Daozi, stretched out her arms, and asked with a smile: "Is it good-looking?" ”
Since Tao Ge didn't notice it, and Sima Yao didn't ask, then he went with the flow.
Sima Daozi stared at her and smiled slightly: "It's good-looking." ”
"What's a good idea?"
"Like a jade son, a son is like a jade." This was specially said by Sima Daozi.
Hearing the praise, Tao Ge smiled like a flower, and couldn't help but sigh, shook his hand and unfolded the folding fan that Sima Daozi put in the study, and said: "Doesn't it look like an immortal who came out of the painting?" ”
"Like, like it," Sima Daozi was quite doting in his words, and Wang Minhui and Liu were a little apprehensive.
"Azusa ......"
Tao Ge was rejoicing, and suddenly heard this low call, she heard the voice, only to notice that the Xuanyi man was always looking at her, she was stunned, and said inadvertently: "Huh? ”
Sima Daozi froze, Sima Yao also frowned, Wang Minhui saw the situation and hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege, stood in front of Sima Yao, and blocked in front of Tao Ge, and said: "Your Majesty, tomorrow is the anniversary of my cousin's death, I don't know what to prepare in the palace, the concubine thinks, go to the palace tomorrow to pay homage to my cousin." ”
Your Majesty?!
Tao Ge was stunned, the princess called him Your Majesty, he was not Sima Yao......
Surprised, Tao Ge looked back at Sima Daozi unnaturally, and Sima Daozi stretched out his hand to pull her behind him, as if to protect her.
Sima Yao suddenly came back to his senses and said: "The palace is ready, if you want to worship, if you want to worship, you can enter the palace tomorrow morning." ”
Wang Minhui responded softly: "Yes." ”
"There are still some things in the palace, so I won't stay longer," Sima Yao said and turned around, looked at Sima Daozi again, and said, "Old Seven, I will come back another day." ”
"Yes."
Sima Yao glanced at Tao Ge again when he was leaving, but Tao Ge didn't see it, and naturally he didn't know that he had a little pity in his eyes......
Everyone should have sent Sima Yao outside the mansion, but he resigned and had to give up.
Seeing Sima Yao leave, Sima Daozi turned around and pulled Tao Ge to go back to the study, Liu knew that he must have misunderstood, so he hurriedly followed, quite sad and aggrieved: "Lord, this matter is really not what the concubine said......
Sima Daozi ignored it.
Liu was resentful, and when he saw Tao Ge's figure, he couldn't wait to peel her and cramp before he stopped!
Wang Minhui also turned around and left the courtyard, and the moment she turned around, the smile on her pale cheeks became more and more distinct.
This thing really does the best of both worlds!
