Chapter 44: The Future Is Unclear

Yuankang nine years in a blink of an eye, a few days of the New Year, Luoyang city in the heavy snow continuously, a few days down, the city also accumulated thick snow, people go to visit relatives and friends because the road is not smooth also stopped, the street is deserted, only some children are not afraid of the cold in groups in the snow to spread joy.

For a few days, Yang Xianrong only went to his grandfather's house with his parents to pay New Year's greetings, but several cousins married elsewhere, and several cousins were a few years older than her, so he couldn't play anywhere, so he could only follow his mother to watch his father and grandparents and uncles drink and talk about things in the court.

She didn't know much about the things in the court, but she could know some news about the prince. Since that day Sima Shu left the palace, he and Jia Nanfeng have become more and more stiff, he even ran to the Taiji Palace, and complained to his father about the queen's crimes, but Sima Zhen was too afraid of Jia Nanfeng, and without waiting for Sima Shu to finish speaking, he let him leave the Taiji Hall quickly. After that, Sima Shu seemed to have opened his mind, no longer messing around like before, and began to secretly make friends with some courtiers, wanting to accumulate some of his own power and take the opportunity to fight back.

"It's too late," Sun Yi shook his head and said, "If he had the heart back then, he could still do something in secret, maybe he could pull Jia Nanfeng down, and now he wants to tear his face with the queen on his face, how can the queen allow him?" ”

When Yang Xuanzhi heard this, he was a little puzzled: "The prince has been gaining momentum recently, and the queen has no one to rely on." ”

"You are simple-minded, and you see the problem so superficially," Sun Yi slapped the table, and was a little angry at Yang Xuanzhi: "The people in the court are all cronies of the queen, and the prince was too bastard before, and everyone has offended him, is there anyone who is willing to help him?" How could the queen rely on such a man? ”

Yang Xuanyi thought, it seems to mean so, he looked at Yang Xianrong, remembered that he almost sent her to the East Palace before, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed in his heart that it was dangerous, but he also looked at Sun Yi differently, he was an old man in the East Palace, seeing that it was not good for his own family, he gave up when he said that he would give up the prince, and he really showed no mercy.

Sun Hui then said: "During this time, the ministers began to promote the prince, and the queen was unmoved, I don't know if it was to test everyone or this was simply her plan, and when the prince was fluttering, she would find a flaw to abolish him or kill him." ”

"I'm afraid it's all there." Sun Yi sighed: "To the prince, we have done our best to be benevolent and righteous, and we still have to find ways to protect ourselves in the future." I met Sun Xiu that day, after all, he is a brother of the same clan, but he still thinks of us, even if I am old, you have someone to rely on. ”

A few people, you talked about it word by word, thinking about how to protect yourself in the future, only Yang Xianrong is still thinking about Sima Shu, no matter what, the affection of playing in one place when she was young is really indelible, she always hopes that no matter what, Sima Shu can have a good ending, even if he can't be the emperor, he can spend the rest of his life in peace.

On the second day of going to his grandfather's house, Yang Xianrong didn't care that the snow was still falling in the sky, so he insisted on going to Liu's house. Liu Ling and Liu Yao were both there, and the two of them were in a panic and took a game of Go, but because both of them were not good at the level, they were not interesting, so they were very happy to see Yang Xianrong coming.

"It's so cold outside, why don't you notify me first, I'll go out to pick you up." Liu Yao dusted off the snowflakes on the head of the sheep and grabbed her hand again: "Why is it so cold?" I'll cover you up. Then he wrapped Yang Xianrong's hand with both hands, and Yang Xianrong stood still, and Liu Yao held her hand to warm her.

Liu Ling looked at the two of them with a smile, and didn't say a word, and when they sat down slowly, she snatched Yang Xianrong's hand from Liu Yao's hand, and said to him: "How to say that this kind of work should be done by my sister, don't you understand the truth that men and women don't kiss?" ”

"Go," Liu Yao glanced at Liu Ling: "Mouthy." ”

Yang Xianrong also grimaced at Liu Ling: "Why can't my brother cover my sister's hands?" ”

"Are you really stupid or fake stupid?" Liu Ling shook off Yang Xianrong's already warm hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "Does my brother lack a sister?" ”

Yang Xianrong understood what Liu Ling meant, and deliberately did not take this stubble. Since Liu Yao was transferred back to the capital, the contact between the two has become more and more ordinary, Liu Ling has joked even more outrageous, I can't just give Yang Xianrong a dress up and let Liu Yao marry back, before, Yang Xianrong was teased and blushed, but now I am used to it, not only do I not feel embarrassed, but sometimes I choke back.

Yang Xianrong will soon be fourteen years old, and she knows a lot about men and women, Liu Yao understands her thoughts, but she doesn't know whether she should accept it, if she likes Liu Yao, she does like him, but the two have known each other for so long, and she can't figure out what kind of liking she likes him. This kind of thing, she is not good at asking others, and she can't understand the attitude of her parents, her mother doesn't seem to want her to marry so early, and her father is more like what he is waiting for, she can't understand.

"Come here today, but what's the matter?" Liu Yao handed Yang Xianrong a cup of hot tea, and said with some disgust: "With such a heavy snow, I'm not afraid of getting sick." ”

"It's nothing, I went to my grandfather's house yesterday and heard them mention the prince," Yang Xianrong told the two of them all the things he heard yesterday, and at the end, he sighed: "I listened to this, and I was not in a good mood, so I wanted to talk to you." ”

Liu Yao and Liu Ling also fell silent after listening to Yang Xianrong's words, although Liu Yao and the prince did not have a deep friendship, but in the end, they knew each other, and they didn't want him to have any bad results in the future, Liu Ling even hoped that Sima Shu could escape this catastrophe because of the affection hidden in his heart when he was young.

"What's bad is that," Liu Yao said, "Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the prince can't fight the queen, but only he doesn't know." ”

"We should have figured out a way, at least we should remind him that we can't look at him like this." Liu Ling frowned tightly and said, "Rong'er, your grandfather's family is still working in the East Palace, can't you mention the crown prince?" ”

Yang Xianrong shook his head: "The previous mention of the prince was not taken seriously, my grandfather and they have now chosen Mingzhe to protect themselves, but I am afraid that they will not say anything more." As for those subordinate officials in the East Palace, my grandfather said that those who still want to stay with the prince are stupid people, and they can't help much. ”

"Where's your master?" Liu Yao asked, "Isn't he a god?" ”

Yang Xianrong shook his head: "I won't tell you anything, my master has never taken a fancy to the prince, but he has a little hope that the prince will fall." ”

"Huh?" Liu Ling couldn't understand what Feng Hang meant: "Is it possible, he still supports the queen?" ”

Yang Xianrong hurriedly shook his head, he didn't want his sister to have a bad impression of the master, in fact, although Feng Hang did not support the queen, he also said that now the queen is in power is the best result, once the queen has an accident, the government will be in chaos, and the prince may not be able to ascend the throne. It is not certain who can ascend to the throne, and what kind of dark time the Jin Dynasty will enter.

Feng Hang's words were only said to Yang Xianrong, and Yang Fu also told her this, in Yang Xianrong's impression, Feng Hang and Yang Fu were the smartest people, they both said such things, then things must go on like this.

"If the crown prince's defeat is decided, leaving is the best choice," Liu Yao continued: "It's just that the whole world is not the king's land, he has been the prince for so many years, and no one will let him go." Seeing Yang Xianrong and Liu Ling showing sad expressions again, Liu Yao smiled and said with relief: "Forget it, everyone has their own fate, now that nothing has happened, we have booked a bad ending, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still happily preparing to welcome the third child, maybe, everything will go in a good direction, don't worry." ”

Yang Xianrong also cheered up and handed Liu Yao a sweet smile. Seeing this, Liu Ling coughed lightly, deliberately stroked his forehead, and said, "Oh, my head hurts, go back to the house to rest first, brother, you can accompany Rong'er well." After speaking, he did not leave the concern of Yang Xianrong, waved his hand at the two, and went back to the room.

"Sister Ling'er......" Yang Xianrong looked at Liu Yao inexplicably, this person was just fine, how can he say that he is sick?

"Ignore her," Liu Yao looked outside the house, the snow had stopped outside, and the yard had not been cleaned, so he suddenly became interested: "Do you want to play in the snow?" ”

Yang Xianrong's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly. This is absolutely not allowed at home, her mother is afraid that she will be frozen and sick, her father thinks that it is unseemly for a girl to play like this, not to mention that the snow in the yard of the house will be cleaned up as long as it falls, leaving no time for her to play.

Liu Yao pulled Yang Xianrong and ran outside the house, immediately fell to the ground and rolled, so that the mixed body was stained with white, and beckoned Yang Xianrong: "Do you dare to try?" ”

"Then why don't you dare?" Yang Xianrong said that he was going to lie down, but when Liu Yao was not defensive, he picked up a large handful of snow and sprinkled it towards his face, looking at Liu Yao's flustered appearance, she laughed and was about to run away, but she was caught by Liu Yao, who was quick-eyed, Liu Yao held her with one hand, and grabbed a handful of snow with the other, and was about to wipe it on her face.

"Brother Yao's life." Yang Xianrong hurriedly begged for mercy, while hiding his face in Liu Yao's arms.

Liu Yao smiled and threw away the snow in his hand, and simply held the sheep in his arms, but he was reluctant to let go, so he simply hugged her tighter. Yang Xianrong stood in Liu Yao's arms, her heart was pounding, she had never stood with a man so closely, she could clearly hear Liu Yao's heartbeat, she could smell the smell of his body, and she could feel his heat.

"Rong'er, wait for me for two more years, and I will definitely marry you." Liu Yao said quietly but firmly.

Yang Xianrong raised her head a little confused, and saw Liu Yao's affectionate gaze at her, since she was a child, the bits and pieces of her relationship with Liu Yao returned to her mind, she felt a burning sensation on her face, and her heart seemed to beat faster, as if she wanted to break free from her chest.

"Brother Yao......" Yang Xianrong called softly.

"Will you be my wife?" Liu Yao flicked the broken hair that was blocking Yang Xianrong's eyes, and looked at her clear and deep eyes: "If you are willing, I will be sent by you in this life, and I will never leave you half a step away." ”

Yang Xianrong blinked his eyes and nodded heavily: "Okay." ”
