Chapter 178: The Prince of the East Palace

Yang Xianrong met the prince on the second day of Sima Zhen's return to the palace, Sima Chi. Yang Xianrong had heard of this name a long time ago, and Sima Yi had also mentioned this younger brother many times, praising him as one of the few talents in the royal family of the Jin Dynasty, but he was young at the time, and he was dedicated to learning and had no intention of entering the office, so Sima Yi still had a little regret when he mentioned him. Yang Xianrong has never seen him, and she has no interest in this person, after she returned to the palace, she has been thinking about how to get this person out of the East Palace and return to Sima Tan's position as the prince. Therefore, when she and Sima Xuanhua were playing with Nian'er in the Xianyang Palace, she suddenly heard Zhang come back to report that the emperor's brother had arrived, she was very surprised, I don't know what this person is doing here? signaled Sima Xuanhua to hide first, and then she asked people to invite him in.

Sima Chi was slender, similar to what Yang Xianrong thought, with a round face with the logo of Sima's family, thick eyebrows, and narrow and bright eyes. Wearing a moon-white robe, with nothing on his body, only a folding fan in his hand, standing there, he is indeed a courteous and courteous aristocratic son.

"I've seen the Queen Mother." Sima Chi's voice was on the thick side, which was a little inconsistent with his appearance.

"No need to be polite." Yang Xianrong retracted his gaze at Sima Chi, pointed to the seat next to him, and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

Sima Chi lowered his head slightly, slowly walked to the back of the table on the side, knelt down on the soft couch, and quietly waited for the next person to pour the tea, he took a sip and said, "Good tea." ”

Now there are wars everywhere, the already small tea plantations are burned down, the deserted are deserted, and it is already a luxury to be able to eat a sip of tea, how can there be any good or bad? As for the tea in the Yang Xianrong Palace, it was also the Chen tea that Yang Shan, the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion, had ordered last year, and she brought some into the palace to moisten her mouth, but she didn't know that it was a good thing. Sima Chi took a casual sip and praised it, which shows that this person is not an honest person.

Sima Chi which one this casual sip of tea, a casual good has caused disgust in Yang Xianrong's heart, he was enlightened at the age of five, learned the set of etiquette in the book, his mother is also from a noble background, he is very strict in teaching etiquette, casually praising other people's gifts is polite, even if Yang Xianrong gave him a cup of soil today, he has to say good, virtual is a little false, but there is no malice.

Sima Chi secretly looked at Yang Xianrong, this kind of non-gentlemanly behavior made him panic, but he had already heard that the current Yang Queen was very good-looking, and she was the top beauty among the nobles in Beijing. The so-called fair lady, a gentleman, Sima Chi is a dignified man, and he also has the pursuit of beauty, and he doesn't dare to do it, so it's okay to look at it secretly.

That one glance was enough to amaze him. Sima Chi is romantic, he thinks he has seen a lot of beauties, even if there are a wife and two concubines in the house, they are all good looks that make men unforgettable at first sight, when he was trapped in Chang'an, Sima Zhen was terrified, but he didn't have so many thoughts, he shrank in his own house to look for Chang'an beauties, and he was uncomfortable reading books and listening to music every day. But the sheep gave him a different feeling, not to mention that his appearance was superior, but the temperament on his body made him unable to take his eyes off.

Yang Xianrong has not been smooth along the way, and people have experienced more and are different, when he was a child, he had no heart and lungs, and he only knew how to play outside all day long, and his father had a plan to develop her man-like temperament, lively and naughty, bold and careful. When she had a children's affair with Liu Yao, her daughter's side was gentle and virtuous, shy and cute. Later, when she entered the palace, it was difficult step by step, and she had to become mature and resolute, practical and steady. After these transformations, Yang Xianrong's body has the charm of a mature woman, plus she is already a mother, and that kind and satisfied appearance is also engraved on her body. Such a woman is something that Sima Chi has never seen, even if there are beautiful women around him, but there is no woman with such a strong aura that makes him willing to bend the man's noble knees and prostrate at her feet.

Seeing that Sima Chi had changed from the initial peek to staring at her for a moment, Yang Xianrong couldn't help frowning, this guy's blazing eyes made Yang Xianrong feel quite uncomfortable, the world said that this Sima Chi was a humble gentleman, and now it seems that he is just a swinger brother.

Yang Xianrong frowned, coughed lightly and reminded Sima Chi to pay attention to the number of courtesies, and sure enough, the man woke up suddenly, and hung his head with a red face.

"The minister is rude, and I ask the mother to atone for her sins." Sima Chi stabilized his mind, deliberately maintained his demeanor, and said: "I have long heard that Niangniang is both talented and beautiful, and she is brave. ”

Yang Xianrong didn't bother to pay attention to Sima Chi's compliments, and asked straightforwardly: "I don't know why His Highness is looking for me today?" ”

"Niangniang is the master of the harem, and the younger brother has come to visit from now on." Sima Chi said.

Yang Xianrong pondered for a moment, Sima Chi's words were too perfunctory, he didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, the two had nothing to do, and the relationship between this uncle and sister-in-law was a little embarrassing, plus Yang Xianrong and Sima Yue were people in the same boat, and this prince was the auxiliary king in front. The two have neither old narratives nor cooperation to discuss, so what is there to visit?

"Your Highness has a heart." Yang Xianrong smiled lightly and didn't say anything more, the meaning of sending off the guest was very obvious. Let's read the book

Sima Chi didn't bother much, got up and bowed and retired. Sima Xuanhuafang walked out of the inner room, she hid behind and witnessed the whole process, and she was also confused at this time, this person came on a hot day, just to praise the current queen's talent and appearance?

"The king of Changsha used to say that this person has no ambitions, but I don't think so." Sima Xuanhua said: "Even if he was young and unambitious at the time, I'm afraid it's not the same now, so many of my uncles and brothers fought for the head and blood just for that bit of power, he witnessed these when he was young, it is impossible not to be edified, and now he occupies the East Palace, which can be said to be the closest position to the throne, if he is willing to give up, I am the first one who does not believe it." ”

Yang Xianrong did not deny Sima Xuanhua's words, but the performance of His Royal Highness the Prince was really strange, if he was unwilling to give up the position of the East Palace to demonstrate, he didn't say a word from beginning to end, stared at himself for a long time, and looked intoxicated. But if he just came to see the beauty, isn't it too presumptuous? In terms of relationship, she is his sister-in-law, in terms of status, she is the queen and he is the prince, they all say that he knows books and keeps etiquette, if he is really so presumptuous, how can he still be called a gentleman?

If you can't figure out Yang Xianrong, you don't want to, but the position of the East Palace is a knife that currently hangs on Yang Xianrong's heart. Sima Yue's actions really made her feel strange, it is said that he hated Sima Hao so much, why was he reluctant to replace the prince he had set up? If he is afraid of losing power, it is even more unreasonable, Sima Chi is in his twenties, how can he not be as easy to control as a teenage child who has not grown all his hair, not to mention that Sima Chi is the son of Emperor Wu, he is higher in seniority, and he is more valued by the clan, but Sima Qin can only rely on the Yang family, the Yang family is now Yang Ting, and Yang Ting is a dog next to Sima Yue, how to calculate, it is more secure to help Sima Qin to the position of the East Palace.

Yang Xianrong was a little confused, since she returned to the palace, she felt that the situation was becoming more and more unclear, she was in it and was surrounded by fog, and she couldn't see the way forward. However, Feng Hang, the only one she trusted, was still dealing with a bunch of messes left by Sima Hao in Chang'an, and the return date was undecided, and she couldn't find someone who understood the overall situation if she wanted to discuss it.

"You say, what does Sima Yue mean by leaving Feng Hang in Chang'an?" Yang Xianrong frowned and asked Sima Xuanhua: "Feng Hang is a strategist, he is good at making plans, but he is not good at handling military and political affairs, Chang'an has a newly arrived Chang'an order, but Sima Yue still left Feng Hang there, why?" ”

Sima Xuanhua understood the meaning of Yang Xianrong's mouth, so he said: "You are saying that he will not let Feng Hang return to Luoyang and will not let you meet." Why? ”

"Feng Hang helped the King of the East China Sea entirely because of me, he was afraid that Feng Hang would be led by my nose when he saw me." Yang Xianrong said: "But what is he afraid of? Who can I rely on but him now? ”

"East Palace." Sima Xuanhua said.

Yang Xianrong somewhat understood, although Sima Qin was young, he was not a peaceful person, having Yang Xianrong by his side was equivalent to having Feng Hang, with Feng Hang's ability, it would not take a few years to help Sima Qin gain a firm foothold, and then it would be liquidated, so Sima Yue, as the auxiliary king, was naturally the first object of the law. Therefore, the king of the East China Sea would rather put the treasure on Sima Chi's body than fall into Sima Qin's arms for the position of the East Palace. However, why did Feng Hang listen to Sima Yue's words like this, let him stay in Chang'an, and he stayed in Chang'an, did he have any handle in the hands of the King of the East China Sea?

Yang Xianrong raised his eyes to look at Sima Xuanhua, who was deep in thought, and suddenly laughed, after this person moved back to the palace from the Fu Mansion, the whole person was different, and even a little different from the original Sima Xuanhua, the string that had been tawning on her body seemed to be loosened, and she didn't have so many cares, she just lived the current life seriously.

"Don't think about it." Yang Xianrong pushed Sima Xuanhua and said, "It's too hot outside, play a game of chess and calm down?" ”

Sima Xuanhua glanced at Yang Xianrong a little confused, also showed a smile, nodded, and said: "I haven't touched these in the past two years, I'm afraid that my skills are rusty, and my mother has to let me." ”

"Don't worry, I'm also a stinky chess basket." Yang Xianrong said that people were put on chess.

As soon as the two of them sat down on both sides of the small table, Zhang Hui hurriedly ran in from outside, bowed over and said to the sheep: "Niangniang, Your Majesty invites you to come over." ”

When Sima Xuanhua heard this, he threw away the chess pieces he had just held in his hand, clapped his hands and got up: "Come on, you go to accompany your father, I'll go back and rest." After that, he glanced at Yang Xianrong with a smile and said, "It's a hot day, thank you for your hard work." ”
