In the blink of an eye, it was almost the New Year, and it had been snowing outside the house all night, coupled with the north wind, it was really cold. Yang Xianrong hugged the stove, crooked on a couch to read, after reading for a while, he heard the sound of crying next to him, Yang Xianrong put down the book, looked at Su Chen next to him, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Chen walked outside to take a look, and after a while, he came in with Nian'er, and said with a smile: "Your Highness saw the snow and wanted to go out to play." ”

Nian'er saw Yang Xianrong, shouting "Mother", while stretching out to ask her to hug, Yang Xianrong took her daughter, but Xiao Nian'er stretched out a finger and pointed outside the house, shouting: "Snow, snow." ”

"Snow." Yang Xianrong repeated Nian'er's words, and shook his head at her again: "Cold." ”

"Go, go." Seeing that Yang Xianrong had rejected her request, Nian'er immediately twisted in her arms and struggled to run out.

Yang Xianrong couldn't resist Nian'er, so he said to Su Chen: "Then let's play for a while, just dress Nian'er thicker, she has always been in good health, and it should be fine." ”

Seeing this, Su Chen asked the nurse to bring a thick cotton jacket for Nian'er to put on, and Yang Xianrong and Su Chen led the rickety Nian'er to the courtyard. The snow in the front yard has been cleaned, and there is still thick snow in the backyard, the two of them just arrived in the backyard with Nian'er, and she fell into the snow when her steps were not steady, Su Chen hurriedly stepped forward, helped Nian'er up, patted off the snow all over her body for her, and asked with concern: "Does it hurt?" ”

Nian'er laughed "haha", stumbled two steps forward, deliberately pounced, and the whole person fell into the snow again. Su Chen was about to help again, but was pulled by Yang Xianrong.

"Look at her, on purpose, it's fun." Yang Xianrong looked at Nian'er with a smile in his eyes: "Let her be." ”

"If your clothes are wet, you're going to get frostbite." Su Chen said worriedly.

"How can it? Relax your heart. Yang Xianrong said and bent down, grabbed two handfuls of snow from the ground, pinched a snowball and smashed it on Su Chen, and then quickly ran away.

Su Chen suddenly became playful, and also grabbed the snow and played with the sheep, Xiao Nian'er stood aside, watching her mother and Aunt Su chasing her brain in the snow, and she kept clapping her little hands happily.

"You can hear your voice outside," there was suddenly another person in the courtyard, it was Sima Xuanhua, she picked up Nian'er, smiled and said to Yang Xianrong: "They are all mothers, and they are still so unstable." And you Su Chen, you are usually steady, and you are crazy with her today? ”

Su Chen listened to the words, was a little embarrassed, saluted Sima Xuanhua, hugged Nian'er, and carried her back to the room first. Yang Xianrong dusted off the snow on his body, and said to Sima Xuanhua in disgust: "You just disturb my interest." ”

"I don't dare." Sima Xuanhua picked up the sheep and offered her face, touched her cold hand, and said, "You are not afraid of the cold." ”

"Cold, or I'll pull you along." Yang Xianrong said with a smile.

The two returned to the house, Yang Xianrong hurriedly hugged a stove, drank a hot tea, and then said to Sima Xuanhua: "On such a cold day, is there something wrong with me?" ”

"News is coming from Xingyi Fang." Sima Xuanhua said: "There seems to be something wrong with the King of Hejian recently. ”

Yang Xianrong frowned, since Sima missed the last opportunity, he had a disagreement with Sima again, and his power in the court was not as good as before, he

has always been angry, and he has a bad temper at home, and he often gets angry at his wives and concubines, not to mention his subordinates, he is either beaten or scolded, and even his heart is not smooth, he also tortures them with all kinds of cruel means, which makes the entire Hejian palace panic, and everyone is cautious, for fear that they will offend this prince by accident. The king of Hejian often spoke foul language, spoke vainly about the government, insulted the emperor, and his disgust for Sima was written on his face, even if he was sometimes in the court, he did not hesitate to quarrel with him.

In this regard, Yang Xianrong didn't care too much, once he lost power, it was normal to have resentment in his heart, it was good to vent it like this, if he buried this resentment in his heart, it was the root of the bane.

Recently, news came from Xingyi Fang, saying that the heart of the king of Hejian has changed greatly, and his temper has improved a lot in the house.

"Who did he see before he changed his mind?" Yang Xianrong asked.

"Now the only one who has been supporting him is Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu." Sima Xuanhua said: "The two have been in close contact, and the news from the Chengdu palace is also a little strange, the king of Chengdu has been a little mysterious recently, and he does not go to the room of his wife and concubine, and often locks himself in the room, even if he goes out, he does not take anyone with him, and he does not know where to go." ”

"There must be a reason for things to go wrong." Yang Xianrong was a little worried, she said: "It's the New Year soon, don't have anything happen." ”

Yang Xianrong originally wanted to ask Yang Fu to help inquire about the affairs of Hejian Wangfu and Chengdu Wangfu, but the second child of Yangfu's family had just passed for half a day, and she didn't want him to be distracted at this time and worry too much about her, plus the news from the house said that her sister-in-law Lin had not been in good health since she gave birth, and she hoped that her brother could put more thoughts on home.

"Aren't they planning something behind their backs?" Sima Xuanhua said: "I want to regain the position of auxiliary government." ”

Yang Xianrong shook her head, of course she didn't know what the two were planning, but she often had a hidden worry, this time they helped the king of Changsha Sima to seize power, that is, they offended the king of Hejian and the king of Chengdu together, needless to say, the king of Hejian was narrow-minded, and he must have written down this hatred. As for the king of Chengdu, he is not a simple character, between the king of Hejian and the king of Qi both wooed him, he never showed his attitude, until the king of Hejian promised him the position of the prince, and now the position of the prince is lost, he has to be tied to the king of the river, he must be unwilling, but this person is thoughtful, and not as swaggering as the king of the river, it is difficult for others to know what he is thinking, therefore, compared to the king of the river, Yang Xianrong is more worried about the king of Chengdu.

"If the two of them are in power, we will not end well." Yang Xianrong said.

Both of them were silent, Yang Xianrong had no other way, Feng Hang had also returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors in the past few days, and she didn't even have anyone to talk to. Sima came to greet him two days ago, and the two chatted a few words, Sima is a vigilant person, and he did not relax because he seized power, he strengthened his vigilance in the palace and the palace, but he was afraid that the king of Hejian would do reckless things such as assassination under his impulse.

"That's it," Yang Xianrong sighed: "We're just scaring ourselves now, and when the climate warms up after the year, I will ask my eldest brother to help us figure things out, and in addition, you let the people in Xingyifang also pay attention to it, and look at the Hejian Mansion and the King of Chengdu."

Mansion, in addition to these two princes visiting each other, what other people they haven't seen, and then find out the details of these people one by one, let's analyze what these two people want to do. ”

"Then," Sima Xuanhua was still not at ease: "If it is the New Year's season, what will they do?" ”

"I'll let Sima be vigilant again, all the people and things that have recently entered the palace must be checked again and again before being released," Yang Xianrong said: "Rest, let it be fate." ”

"Actually, if you want me to say, you, forget it, do what you say." Sima Xuanhua wanted to speak and stopped, looking very embarrassed.

"What's wrong? But it doesn't hurt to say that. Yang Xianrong looked at Sima Xuanhua curiously, and now that the matter is over, there should be nothing between the two of them that cannot be spread out.

"I want to say," Sima Xuanhua still hesitated, and said carefully: "Isn't your sister the daughter-in-law of the king of Chengdu?" She should have known something. ”

If it weren't for Sima Xuanhua mentioning it, Yang Xianrong really didn't think of Liu Ling, not only because the two had not been in touch for more than a year, but also because she had promised Liu Ling, the intrigue between the court and the court, and the grievances and grievances that she and her husband Sima Zun had no intention of participating, if she took advantage of the feelings of the two and took something out of her mouth, the friendship between the two would come to an end.

Yang Xianrong was very embarrassed, she thought about it, and said: "The enemy we are with now is Liu Lingfujun's father, it is difficult to say whether Sima Zun will be implicated, I really can't make a decision." ”

Sima Xuanhua shook her head, she didn't agree with Yang Xianrong's idea, so she said: "If we win, we can not hold Sima Zun accountable, he does not want to be an official in the court, and we can even let him leave Beijing and live that kind of idle cloud and wild crane life." But if we lose, do you think the King of Hejian and the King of Chengdu will let us go? When the time comes, will your sister have a way to save us? ”

Yang Xianrong had to admit that Sima Xuanhua's words made sense, and only when he was in power did he have the right to speak, otherwise, he would only have the share of being slaughtered, but taking into account their young friendship, Yang Xianrong really couldn't bear it.

"If you think about it, it's just as soon as possible, we don't have much time." Sima Xuanhua sighed, his father's incompetence meant that his wife and children could only find a way to save themselves, and in the face of so many powerful vassal kings, what could the two weak women do? Sima Xuanhua said helplessly: "Sometimes I really hate my father, he is the king of a country, but after so many years of reign, what has he done?" To be honest, my mother is ruthless, but in the face of so many tigers and wolves, if she is not ruthless, there is only one way to die. Sima Xuanhua put his hand on Yang Xianrong's body: "You don't have my mother's ruthlessness and courage, and you never wanted to get the same power as my mother, but now, we are just saving our lives, and we have no way back to this day." ”

Yes, Yang Xianrong only forced herself to be involved in this troubled world for Nian'er's future, but since it was a troubled time, she had no right to choose, and if she wanted to keep her daughter, she could only be ruthless, and then ruthless.

Yang Xianrong nodded and agreed to Sima Xuanhua's request, she wanted to invite Liu Ling into the palace to talk about sisterhood. Just as he was about to let Su Chen go to deliver the word, Zhang Hui hurriedly ran in from the outside and brought all the cold air outside the house into the house.

"What's the panic?" Yang Xianrong said dissatisfied.

Zhang Hui gasped and said, "There is news from Yangfu that Grandma Lin is dead. ”
