During the Zhongyuan Festival, Sima Yue suddenly wanted to feast the ministers, and in the name of Sima Zhen, he said that he wished peace in the world and peace in the Jin Dynasty. The world is not peaceful, the Jin Dynasty is stormy, Sima Yue's self-deception is just to show his current spring breeze. The death of the big and small princes who can fight with him in the court, the loss of power, it can be said that no one can shake the power of the auxiliary government in his hands, at least the internal worries have been solved, the external troubles, and after this midyear festival, I will do it again.

Since it is the emperor who wants to feast the ministers, the place is set in the palace, all the ministers in Beijing above the fourth grade are invited, everything is arranged, Sima Yue set foot in the Xianyang Hall for the first time, he did not come to see the sheep to offer his face, but to inform Sima Zhen that this banquet is very important, he has to attend.

Sima Zhen opened his sleepy eyes, understood Sima Yue's intention, he shook his head, pointed to the sheep and asked, "Can the queen go?" ”

"The queen is a female ......" Sima Yue said, the previous dynasty was the world of the masters, even if Yang Xianrong was the queen, it was not suitable to participate in such an occasion, there was no such rule in ancient times.

"I want to spend the Midyear Festival with my family." Sima Zhen said seriously: "I want the queen to participate, and I want the third princess to go too, if you are difficult to do, it is good to change it to a family banquet." After that, he was angry: "If the queen doesn't go, I won't go either." ”

Sima Yue was stunned, and looked at Sima Zhen seriously, and the news from the palace to him showed that Sima Zhen was getting more and more confused, but in fact he seemed to be more sober than before. Sima Zhen is the emperor in the end, and this banquet is held in his name, and it is really unreasonable if he does not attend. After thinking about it, it didn't seem to matter that the queen attended the banquet, Sima Yue compromised, and then he glanced at Yang Xianrong, and said, "Then invite the queen to also participate in this Zhongyuan banquet." ”

Yang Xianrong This is the first time I have seen Sima Yue, his complexion is black and red, it should be the color of the battle for a long time, he is very tall, and his gray hair shows that he is not young, but his body is very tough, and he does not show a trace of old age because of his age.

"The prince is gracious, and I am embarrassed." Yang Xianrong smiled.

Sima Yue didn't say much, but when he left, he suddenly said to Yang Xianrong: "This banquet, the deceased of my own mother will participate, and I will leave enough time for the two of you to catch up with the old days when we meet this time, and the mother doesn't have to be in such a hurry as last time." ”

Yang Xian's face did not change, and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

Sent Sima Yue away, Yang Xianrong glanced back at Sima Xin, at this time he had just woken up, his spirit was still good, the sun outside had sunk in the west, although the heat at noon had not completely dissipated, but it was also much cooler, so Yang Xianrong simply helped Sima Xin to go out for a walk, he had been locked in the Xianyang Hall for too long.

The Imperial Garden is the best time for the scenery, a piece of green and lush, occasionally a few small flower beds dotted among them, the flowers are flying around busy with all kinds of butterflies, the head is an unknown bird chirping non-stop, not far away can also hear the sound of water rushing down from the rockery, a vivid and peaceful scene.

Sima was very affectionate, took the hand of the sheep Xianrong, and said, "I will come every day in the future, okay?" ”

Yang Xianrong smiled and nodded. The two walked from the west to the east in this garden, and when they were about to walk back, suddenly three figures jumped in front of them, it was Sima Tan, Ah Qi and Xiao Hu. When the three of them saw the emperor, they all knelt down to say hello, Yang Xianrong smiled and shouted, but Sima Zhen's eyes were full of doubts, he obviously didn't know who these three people were, his eyes swept over the three of them in turn, and suddenly stopped at Sima Tan's body, and raised his hand to touch his head.

"Son?"

Sima Qin was a little stunned, not knowing how to react. Yang Xianrong hurriedly said: "This is Qin Er, the current prince, your nephew." ”

"Prince?" Sima Zhen was confused, "Isn't the prince a child?" When was the change? As he spoke, he was anxious: "Yu'er is deeply loved by his father, and he can't change it." ”

Yang Xianrong hurriedly signaled the three of them to leave with his eyes, Sima Zhen is now sober and confused, but no matter when, he thinks about his children, often chatters, and when he is sober, he can say that he knows that several of his children are dead, and the sadness will pass after a while, but when he is confused, he can't mention these things, he will be furious, and throw whatever he catches at hand, until he is so tired that he falls asleep again.

The three children left, Yang Xianrong coaxed Sima Zhen to go to the Xianyang Palace, just now she was careless, she wanted to take the opportunity to introduce Sima Qin to Sima Zhen, which left a little impression on him, but he suddenly became confused, so he asked Sima Shu again.

"Why isn't Yu'er the prince anymore?" Sima asked with a heartfelt hum, he didn't give up on this question just because Sima Qin left, he would be more persistent when he was confused than when he was sober, and he wouldn't give up asking questions without getting an answer that he was satisfied with.

"Who's Yu'er?" Yang Xianrong had no choice but to pretend to be confused.

Sima Zhen stopped, looked at Yang Xianrong, and said, "My son, my son Sima Shu, the prince, when the prince of the dynasty, how can you not know him?" "Every day

Yang Xianrong frowned, pursed his lips, and said with a look of grievance: "When the concubine entered the palace, she didn't have this person, how could she recognize it?" ”

Sima Zhen was stunned: "Aren't you mother?" Yang Xianrong shook his head, and Sima Zhen was confused again: "Then who is the mother?" After asking, he fell into deep thought, and suddenly smiled after a while: "His mother's surname is Xie, and she is a palace person, and the first emperor rewarded me." Xie is good-looking, and Xiao'er's appearance follows her, and when I take Xiao'er to you, you will definitely like him, that is a good child, and his father often praises him for being smart. ”

"Yes, he is the child of His Majesty, and he must be gifted and intelligent." The sheep offered good words and coaxed.

Sima Zhen immediately waved his hand and said, "It's not like me, it's not like me, I'm stupid." ”

Yang Xianrong laughed, and seeing that Sima Cheng had forgotten to ask about the East Palace, he pulled the topic away again and led him back to the Xianyang Palace. It was already completely dark, and after dinner, Sima Zhen cried out that he was sleepy, and fell asleep again on the bed.

In the next few days, the palace was a lot more lively, inside and outside were preparing for the Zhongyuan Festival banquet, the palace has not held such a large-scale banquet for a long time, plus Sima Yue attached great importance to this matter and mobilized half of the people in the palace, so the palace that had been lifeless suddenly became lively, and people came and went quite popularly, even a villain like Nian'er found that these days were different from the past, and it seemed that the palace was more interesting.

Within a few days, the palace was decorated, everything was cleaned, the porches were decorated, the palace lamps were installed, and the palace people wore new palace clothes and talked and laughed back and forth, which was indeed a new atmosphere.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Yang Ting came to the Xianyang Hall uninvited, and still sat down as big as before, but when Lin Xin served him tea, he ignored Yang Xianrong who was sitting on the side, and reached out and touched Lin Xin's hand. Lin Xin panicked, shook his hand, spilled half of the tea, and poured it all on Yang Ting's sleeve.

Lin Xin hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, and Yang Ting wiped his sleeves unhappily while reproaching: "Clumsy." ”

"It's hot, and it's dry in a while." Yang Xianrong gave Lin Xin a look, let her go down first, and then said to Yang Ting: "Second brother, this is my Xianyang Palace, you don't have to go too far." ”

"What did I do?" Yang Ting said disapprerovantly, obviously impatient with Yang Xianrong's accusation. "The girl here is expensive, and the other people who want to enter my general's mansion have not used any means?"

This made Yang Xianrong irritable, Yang Ting was ambitious in the past, but now it is too ostentatious, for fear that others will not know that he is high and powerful, and he is even more unscrupulous outside, even she who lives in the palace knows that he has placed a house outside, and all the beauties he likes are either bought or robbed and sent there for him to play. Nearly ten days ago, his wife found out about this matter, made a lot of trouble in the house, and sought help from her mother's family, which caused this matter to be widely known to the people in the court, but no one dared to ask and no one dared to care, and even someone who was good at drilling the camp also sent his wife and concubine and daughter to the family, which made Yang Ting more and more unscrupulous.

"My sister-in-law is about to give birth, don't make trouble." Yang Xian tolerated his anger and persuaded him.

"Moti, that crazy woman." Yang Ting rolled up his sleeves, and there was a bloody mark on his arm, and he said angrily: "Have you seen it? Your good sister-in-law's masterpiece, if I had known that she was such a shrew, I would never have married her, and if it weren't for the sake of the fetus in her womb, I would have divorced her early. Speaking of a lady's show, it's not as good as traveling south, isn't it good to be quiet? ”

Yang Xianrong didn't want to take care of Yang Xianrong, and besides, it was a private matter in his house, so she didn't want to ask more, but asked coldly: "What are you doing here today?" ”

"Naturally, it's for tomorrow's Midyear Festival banquet." Yang Ting shook his clothes again before he said, "What did you say when you went to see Feng Hang that day?" ”

Yang Xianrong frowned, isn't it too late to ask about things that have been going on for so long? So she said: "The student just greeted the teacher, and then saw that his mansion was not full of people, so he asked someone to help clean it up, is it inappropriate?" ”

"Is there something wrong, or will it be my turn to ask you now?" Yang Ting smiled and said, "Feng Hangqi, the King of the East China Sea attaches great importance to it." Tomorrow's banquet, the king of the East China Sea said, give you time to catch up with your master and apprentice. ”

"What do you mean?" Yang Xianrong asked, this is not the first time she has heard this, the last time the king of the East China Sea came to say the same thing, she didn't care at the time, but now that she hears it, this word does mean something.

"What can it mean?" Yang Ting said again: "Feng Hang is a little stubborn, he resigned from the King of the East China Sea once before and was left behind, he doesn't seem to be very happy in his heart, the King of the East China Sea wants you to persuade him, and now that you are back, he is still a little uneasy to serve the court." ”

Resign? This is another thing that Yang Xianrong doesn't know, and what Yang Ting said is probably not entirely for her to simply persuade, it seems that there is a dislike between Feng Hang and Sima Yue, but Feng Hang is talented, and Sima Yue doesn't want to let go for the time being, so he thought of Yang Xianrong. But Yang Xianrong doesn't even know what happened, where does this persuasion start?

"What do you think I'm here for?" Yang Ting smiled and said, "If you want to know what happened to Feng Hang, I'm here to tell you." ”
