Chapter 43: Notoriety
Just when Jia Nanfeng began to prepare for the abolition of the crown prince, the child she secretly carried into the palace that was born to her by her sister died young, which was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, so that Jia Nanfeng, who was full of joy and expectation, was instantly poured through his head like a basin of ice water. The child walked in the nurse's arms, and the cause of death was unknown, so the nurse and the palace maid who took care of the child were all executed by Jia Nanfeng, and even the imperial doctor who treated the child, although when he arrived, the child had already gone, but he still did not escape the end of being punished, he was kicked out of the hospital and was never allowed to enter the palace again.
After the death of the child, Jia Nanfeng felt unlucky, so he quickly took the child out of the palace, found a good place to bury it, and only said to the hundreds of officials in the court that the child Fubo died of illness, and never mentioned a word about this child again, and even did not include this child in the genealogy.
Jia Nanfeng finally accepted the fact that she had no queen, and finding an obedient heir became something she had to consider carefully, she once again set her sights on Sima Shu, no matter what, Sima Shu has no power behind him, and he himself is a playful master, plus so many years have passed, except for him, Jia Nanfeng has no good candidate.
Just when Jia Nanfeng was about to give up the struggle, news came from the East Palace, Sima Shu learned that the little prince had died young, and he was very excited, and he was even more drunk in the East Palace, and said wildly: "The middle palace of heaven is the world, and it will be my Sima Shu's world in the future." ”
Jia Nanfeng was furious when she heard this, and the little thought of supporting the East Palace just now disappeared in an instant, she cast her eyes from the East Palace to the clan of the Sima family, wanting to find an obedient and weak person to be her pawn to continue to rule the world, but it is not easy, Jia Nanfeng knows in his heart that today's calm and calm is only the surface, and there is a turbulent undercurrent hidden under this calm and calm, none of the descendants of the Sima family are vegetarians, they are all eyeing this throne, and now they don't do it, but there is no reason to do it, But once this calm is broken, then the Jin Dynasty will usher in a bloody storm, which is not something that Jia Nanfeng can control.
Jia Nanfeng's thoughts, Sima Shu didn't know, he stayed firmly on his crown prince's throne, waiting for the arrival of the second child.
Halfway through the eighth year of Yuankang, Jiang Jun gave birth to another son, named Sima Zang.
"This kid is a lucky star," Sima Shu teased his youngest son, smiling from ear to ear: "Maybe it's because he's here, and the others will have to make room for him." ”
This is what Jia Nanfeng said, he just wants to stand up his waist now, and some of the situations in the court also give him the illusion that he has finally been able to keep the clouds open and see the moon. This illusion is caused by the fact that after Jia Nanfeng lost his son, the East Palace became lively again for a while, and those people in the court felt that the queen had no other choice, so it was a sure thing for Sima Shu to sit on the dragon chair in the future, so after Sima Zang was born, there were not a few people who sent congratulatory gifts.
Jia Mi has been serving in the East Palace, but because of Jia Nanfeng, the prince has always been hostile to him, plus he snatched away the beauty that the prince fancied, therefore, Sima Shu has never been lukewarm when he sees him, Jia Mi feels wronged, and left the East Palace after asking Jia Nanfeng and accepted the position of waiter. In a high position, he is like a fish in water in the court, and because he is the queen's nephew, everyone is afraid of him and scolds him, which makes the young Jia Mi's life like being in the clouds.
Sima Shu got a son again, and Jia Mi also had to join in the fun, so he prepared a congratulatory gift and went to the East Palace. Sima Shu was playing with a group of girls and boys in the courtyard, and was happy, when he saw Jia Mi coming, his face changed instantly, and he immediately beckoned everyone to run to the backyard to continue playing.
When did Jia Mi suffer such slow treatment, not to mention that he still brought a gift to congratulate him, and in anger, he threw away the gift and went to Xianyang Hall to find his aunt to complain. Jia Nanfeng heard Jia Mi tell him what happened, but he was not angry, but said lightly: "It's not a day or two since he didn't want to see you, you have to go to him to find him, who is to blame?" ”
Jia Mi was not convinced: "He can have a good life today, it doesn't depend on you, he thinks how great he is." ”
"No matter how bad he is, he is also a prince," Jia Nanfeng sneered: "The emperor's own son, the only heir to that dragon chair, are you comparable?" ”
"So what? It's not a matter of your words to be abolished. Jia Mi drank a cup of tea and slammed the teacup on the small table.
Jia Nanfeng glanced at Jia Mi, then at the teacup he threw on the table, and asked lightly, "Is it?" ”
Sima Shu has not been out of the palace for a long time, taking advantage of the crisp autumn weather, he took two people out of the palace at will, every time he goes out of the palace, he will not forget to get together with Yang Xianrong and Liu Ling, counting, it has been two years since the last meeting with them, not that he doesn't want to come out, but when Jia Nanfeng is pregnant, he really can't come out and recruit some more right and wrong, and now his status in the East Palace is stable, so he has the interest of playing outside.
The prince invited, Yang Xuanzhi naturally hurriedly released his daughter out of the house, the prince has been gaining momentum in the past few months, and even the wind direction in the court has changed, if he still had doubts before, now he is eager for the prince to choose a concubine again, and send Yang Xianrong to the palace as soon as possible.
Yang Xianrong arrived at Liu's Mansion first, and after calling Liu Ling, the two went to Xishi together. This West Market may not have been here for a long time, and my father always said that it was a mixed place and would not let her come to this kind of place. The West Market hasn't changed much, but it's much more lively than before, with a lot of people stopping in front of each stall, and everyone's faces are filled with relaxed smiles.
The two found Sima Shu in the West Market, he still stopped in front of the stall selling meat, so he hurriedly stepped forward, and congratulated him first, he has not seen him for a long time, he is already the father of two children, and it seems that he has indeed grown a lot, and he has become more and more stable.
Sima Shu also looked at the two of them with a smile, looked at them for a long time, and said, "You two haven't changed much, it's just that this Ling'er girl is getting more and more beautiful and peugeot." ”
"What about me?" Yang Xianrong hurriedly asked.
"Grown up," Sima Shu pinched the sheep's face: "However, it's still like that." ”
The three of them joked, and the butcher who sold meat looked at them, all these years have passed, and the stall has not changed its owner, and it is still the person who was pestered by Sima Shu to recognize the master. When he saw Sima Shu coming, he could still recognize him, and greeted him with a smile: "Little brother hasn't given up the idea of selling meat yet?" ”
"No, no," Sima Shu said, "I haven't practiced my techniques much over the years, do you dare to let me try?" ”
"Why don't you dare?" The butcher said and handed the knife into Sima Shu's hand: "Come, let me see what you are." ”
While talking, a woman came over with a basket, she wanted to buy two catties of pork, Sima Shu was not ambiguous, his hand was up and down, he took a piece of meat and put it on the scale, no more, no less, exactly two catties, Sima Shu smiled proudly at the butcher, and handed the meat to the woman.
After the woman returned satisfied, Sima Shu returned the knife to the butcher, and was about to leave with Yang Xianrong and Liu Ling. ”
The butcher shook his head, and the latter was so anxious that he circled the ground and said, "What a big living person, how can he be gone?" Isn't it ......."
"What's wrong?" The butcher hurriedly asked.
"My brother didn't come home after finishing yesterday evening, I asked all the way, and some people said that they saw someone taking them away in a sack, and my mother was so anxious that she was sick, if it was true, then ...... Wouldn't that be a way to live? Hou Sheng wiped away his tears as he spoke: "How can you fall in love with my brother?" ”
"Why not?" The butcher said, "Your brother looks handsome, is it not normal to be looked at?" ”
The latter listened and wiped his tears and left, and the sheep did not know why, so he asked the butcher what was the matter, and the butcher looked around and said mysteriously, "You don't know this?" Seeing that several people shook their heads, the butcher laughed: "You are really young ladies and young men, you don't know what everyone knows on the street." ”
"What's the matter?" Yang Xianrong urged: "Don't sell Guanzi." ”
"Where did the young and good-looking man on the street go? I sent it to the palace. What are you doing in the palace? Satisfy the queen's cravings. The butcher asked and answered by himself, and said with a nose and eyes: "The emperor is a fool, who doesn't know?" The queen was not satisfied, so she asked people to take people on the street, and after being used, they were all killed, and none of them came back. ”
Sima Shu's face turned green when he heard this, he never knew that Jia Nanfeng was so lewd. Just wanted to speak, but the butcher said again: "Didn't the queen give birth to a child some time ago?" I heard that it wasn't from the emperor, and I don't know where the wild seed came from, but fortunately I didn't feed it, otherwise the world of the Sima family would have changed its surname. ”
Sima Shu couldn't listen to it anymore, no matter what, his father was still the current emperor, but the queen's reputation was so stinky that the streets knew it, he was really angry, he lifted the butcher's stall, pressed the butcher to the ground, punched and hit, and waved the tricks to the critical place, the butcher struggled at first, and then lost his life, Yang Xianrong and Liu Ling remembered the eunuch who was kicked to death that day, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Sima Shu, but Sima Shu was angry, not only did not listen to persuasion, but also threw the two girls out with a wave of his hand, Liu Ling got up and asked the two people who were following Sima Shu to quickly pull him away, but the two inner eunuchs had learned Sima Shu's temper, so how dare they step forward to stop them, they all hid far away and acted in a hurry.
Finally, Sima Shu stopped, and Yang Xianrong hurriedly stepped forward to check on the butcher's situation, the man had fainted, but he was still breathing. And Liu Ling cared about Sima Shu, and his right hand was red and swollen, and he made a big move.
After venting his anger, Sima Shu let the two little yellow keepers take the fainted butcher to a medical hall, leaving a few taels of silver and leaving, as for Sima Shu, he no longer had the mood to play outside, and hurriedly returned to the East Palace.
