Chapter 180: Sima Chi's intentions
Just when Yang Xianrong hadn't figured out Sima Chi's intentions, he went to the Xianyang Hall for the second time to meet the queen. Without the estrangement last time, but with each other's inquiry, the two sat on both sides of the table and drank tea silently. Compared with Yang Xianrong's suspicion and scrutiny, Sima Chi was much calmer, he held the quilt and slowly sipped tea, but his eyes glanced at Yang Xianrong's face from time to time, and the heat in it made Yang Xianrong extremely uncomfortable.
coughed lightly, Yang Xianrong opened his mouth first: "His Royal Highness the Prince......"
Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Sima Chi raising his hand, and he said slowly: "Soon it won't be, you are my sister-in-law, we are also close, if you call me 'Ah Chi' like your family in the future." ”
Yang Xianrong frowned again, with her acquaintance with Sima Chi, she really couldn't pretend to be so affectionate. So she didn't answer this, but said, "You said that you will not be the prince soon, what do you mean by that?" ”
Sima Chi smiled, approached Yang Xianrong a little, and in the face of her dodge, he didn't feel that there was anything too much and said: "Since the last time, I have been in love with Niangniang. ”
Yang Xianrong was stunned, and reacted instantly, this person who knew books and kept etiquette on the surface was such a swinger, and he dared to do such an indecent act in this Xianyang Palace, she was extremely angry, raised her hand and gave Sima Chi a slap, and said coldly: "Your Highness, please respect yourself." ”
Sima Chi touched his hot cheeks, smiled nonchalantly, sat up straight, and said: "I love Niangniang, frank and open, there is nothing that can't be said, I have neither done anything to force Niangniang, nor have I asked Niangniang to return the same love to me, I don't know what Niangniang is afraid of?" My mother may think I am frivolous, but if I don't speak my mind, won't what I want to say be even more abrupt? ”
Yang Xianrong was stunned, Sima Chi's appearance in these words made her vigilant, she didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so she didn't speak.
Sima Chi smiled nonchalantly, kept playing with the not delicate tea cup in his hand, and said, "What Niang Niang wants and hopes for is not the position of the East Palace?" What if I am willing to give up that position? ”
Yang Xian's face did not change, but his heart beat the drum, this person told her so bluntly what his mind was going to do? If she has no intentions, she doesn't believe it, and this idea is that everyone has to run for their lives or futures. "I'm afraid this position of prince is not something you can give up if you want to." Yang Xianrong said lightly.
Sima Chi nodded, it seemed that the sheep queen had already known that he had found Sima Yue, and not only did she not believe him, but she was also very wary of him, Sima Chi smiled self-deprecatingly, he was so big, but no woman had been so wary of him.
"No one can stop what I, Sima Chi, have decided." Sima Chi continued, and mercilessly said those little Jiujiu in Yang Xianrong's heart, leaving no room left: "If I ascend the throne as the emperor, you as my sister-in-law will not be able to enjoy the title of the queen mother, if I am a loving and righteous person, I will open you a partial courtyard in the palace to support the elderly, but you and I are not familiar with each other, and we can't talk about friendship, if I drive you out of the palace, throw you into a nunnery to eat fasting and chant Buddha, if I am a little more ruthless, I order you to go to the funeral of Your Majesty, you have to be obedient." Sister-in-law, before you went to Kim Yong City, you did everything possible to get involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty, but you were also afraid that your fate would be in the hands of others, and now you are trying your best to come back, and you are even more afraid that your majesty will have nothing to rely on when you go, and you will lose your life. Maybe you don't think about yourself, but you are a person with children and daughters, and you have to think about them. ”
Sima Chi was right, Yang Xianrong calmed down after a cold sweat, the other party had already picked out the words so clearly, then she didn't have to hide what seemed to be unseemly, the two were nothing more than a deal, if Sima Chi could really give up the position of the East Palace as he said, she couldn't consider what he wanted from herself.
So, Yang Xianrong let out a sigh of relief and said, "I don't believe that you are a saint, can you tell me bluntly what you want?" "Zilang literature
At this time, Sima Chi put away his cynical attitude, put down the cup in his hand, and took out an object from his arms and handed it to Yang Xianrong. Yang Xianrong took the thing, but found that it was a small slingshot, which should be a child's thing, she looked at Sima Chi in wonder, not understanding what it meant.
"After my mother died, she was raised by Empress Xianyang for a period of time." Sima Chi said slowly: "At that time, I was six years old, immersed in the grief of losing my mother, and I also had a strong hostility towards my kind and kind mother-in-law. This slingshot is a gift from him. ”
He? Yang Xianrong's heart was stunned, the figure that had been blurred for a long time instantly appeared in her mind, and her eyes were red, it was really a long time since no one mentioned him, since the day he died, this person has been forgotten by more and more people, and even as close as they once were, she rarely thought of him, but now there is a person who has remembered him for several years, remembered his goodness, and cherished the gifts he gave. That's nice.
Yang Xianrong stabilized his emotions, looked at the slingshot in his hand, and asked, "How do you know that I am an old acquaintance with Brother Sima Shu?" ”
"Although he is my nephew, he is a few years older than me, we talk very well, talk about everything, are close partners, even if he later moved to the East Palace, I also live in the palace, and the contact between them is not as frequent as in the past, but whenever I enter the palace, I must get together with him." Sima Chi's eyes were bright, and that period of time should be a rare and precious time in his life, "He told me that he had a friend outside the palace, a lively girl, surnamed Yang." You may not know, my nephew was thinking about you, he always told me that you were beautiful and cheerful, and that you were a very attractive girl, but you were too young at that time, and the situation he was in was too complicated, so that little bit of thought was suppressed by him. Later, his heart changed greatly, and he became more and more alienated from you, but in fact, he was still sensible, and he was afraid that he would be reprimanded by Jia Nanfeng if he was involved in you. ”
Yang Xianrong's heart was surging, these old things were what she had experienced, but she didn't know anything, and her last impression of Sima Shu also stayed on his strangeness and impersonal feelings, she was disappointed in him, and she was dissatisfied with him, until he finally died, she was also relieved, but she never thought about the struggle and pain he experienced at that time. She could blame it all on her young ignorance at the time, but now that it was mentioned, she felt nothing but heartache.
"You are the person he values, and I should protect you for him in return for his kindness in protecting me, and in order to fulfill the affection between us. It's a pity that I'm weak, I can't do much, two years ago I was in a hurry at home but helpless, today all I can do is to give up this position that is a little hot for me, it's not a big deal, you can not believe me, you can also be suspicious of me, but you don't have to reject me, at least in this matter, I won't lie to you, let alone use him to deceive you. ”
Looking at Yang Xianrong's sad and remorseful look, Sima Chi knew that she also had deep feelings for Sima Shu, although the two did not grow up together, but like him, in the saddest and sadest time when Sima Shu lost his grandfather, it was the girl who was still young at the time who accompanied him through those years.
Sima Chi hurriedly raised his smiling face, put on that cynical appearance again, and continued: "If you believe it, I don't have to be grateful to me, I, Sima Chi, am not talented, and I can't afford this heavy responsibility." Besides, I saw my poor nephew change from a handsome man with a dashing demeanor to a crazy maniac, I was born into a royal family, grew up in troubled times, and what I saw was to fight for power and profit, and my head was bloody, and I thought that I didn't have the ability to work for others, and I didn't have the ability to let others die for me. My biggest hobby in life is to read books, listen to music, wine in hand, beautiful people in the arms, chic and wanton, why be trapped within the walls of this palace, there is no peace in my life. Whether I say this out of sincerity or falsehood, I think Niangniang knows better than me in her heart, you have the same ambitions as me, but I am luckier than you, I can choose but you can't. So you can be regarded as fulfilling me and helping me. ”
Yang Xianrong was still immersed in the shock brought by Sima Chi today, and it seemed that there was a providence in the dark, and after she and Sima Shu got acquainted, they formed a continuous relationship with the East Palace. From Sima Shu to Sima Qin to Sima Chi, the three men who lived in the East Palace all had a relationship with her from different aspects, and had a non-negligible influence on her, and finally did their best to protect her. This big palace, it turned out to be this place that made her feel warm.
agreed to Sima Chi's request, and Yang Xianrong personally sent him out of the Xianyang Palace. When he returned to the dormitory, Sima Zhen had just woken up, and his mind was quite clear, he looked out of the house and asked, "Who is here?" ”
"Sima Chi." After Yang Xianrong finished speaking, he looked at Sima Zhen's puzzled expression, and then said: "Your younger brother, the original King of Yuzhang, the current prince." ”
Sima Zhen suddenly realized: "Ah Chi." Saying that, he looked a little confused again, and said: "Ah Chi is very good, his father loves him very much, and even Xiao'er is very good with him." Saying that, he looked up at Yang Xianrong and asked suspiciously: "Ah Chi has come to see me, why didn't he come?" ”
Yang Xianrong was stunned, tears flowed out, the edict that ordered to kill Sima Shu was personally given by Sima Zhen, now he is old and confused, but he thinks of his only son, and soon after, he will go to see him, I don't know if he was sober at that time, and whether he had the face to face him.
