Early in the morning of the second day, Yang Xianrong followed Liu Ling into the palace and met Liu Cong, whom she had not seen much when she was a child, and had become the emperor of the Han State when she met again. This Liu Cong is no longer what she remembers, her face is naturally much older, but her bearing is not the same as before, although she has a smile on her face, she is not as playful and noisy as before.

Yang Xianrong knelt down to learn from Liu Ling's appearance, Liu Cong quickly called the two of them to get up, and ordered someone to serve tea first, and then said to Yang Xianrong: "Since you are a family, you don't have to be too polite, I still remember that you used to call me the fourth brother, if you don't dislike it, just like them, and call me brother." ”

"Yes." Yang Xianrong lowered his head slightly in response, then raised his head, looked at Liu Cong calmly, and called out with a smile: "Fourth brother." ”

"Yes, yes," Liu Cong said with a smile: "You are the person that my brother Yao identifies, he is now working the front line, I can't be slow to treat you as a brother and make him worry, so if you have anything to eat or play in Pingyang City, ask Ling'er to accompany you, and if you are not used to living in Liu Yao's mansion, you can put it forward and let the people find a way, and if there is anything else you need in life, you are not welcome, to put it bluntly, in the future, we will all be your family." ”

Although these words are plain, but they soothe the uneasiness of Yang Xianrong for this period of time, in the end, she was the queen of the Jin Dynasty, and now she has become the princess of Zhongshan of the Han Dynasty, although Liu Yao told her that the Huns do not care about these, his family welcomes her to join, but since she was a child, she has always been a little worried, she has been intolerable by the Jin Dynasty etiquette, if she comes to Pingyang and is not treated again, but there is really nowhere to go.

Fortunately, Liu Cong didn't mind, and accepted her arrival with an open mind, he was the emperor of the Han Kingdom, he already had such an attitude, and the Han Kingdom naturally did not dare to criticize her anymore.

Liu Ling also grabbed Yang Xianrong's hand in a timely manner and said, "I'm afraid it will take a long time for Brother Yao to come back, but you really don't have to worry, everything is with me." ”

"Exactly." Liu Cong said: "You grew up with Ling'er as a child, she was lonely when the king of Chengdu was in trouble, and you took her in at risk, you saved her life, you are the benefactor of my Han Kingdom, even if you don't look at Liu Yao's relationship, I don't dare to treat the benefactor slowly." ”

"The fourth brother is serious." Yang Xianrong hurriedly said: "Ling'er is my sister, and it is right to help her." ”

"If you are really bored, you can also go to the county prince of Huiji, I heard that he drinks in the house all day long, I'm afraid that there is less wine companion, you are both from Luoyang, and you are old friends, you persuade him more, relax your mind, he is a talented person, don't waste it, if you have any requirements, you can also mention."

Yang Xianrong reacted for a moment before he remembered who the prince of Huiji County was, listening to Liu Cong's meaning, he was still frustrated when he arrived in Pingyang City. So she nodded and responded to Liu Cong's request.

After saying goodbye from the palace, Yang Xianrong directly asked Liu Ling to take her to Sima Chi's mansion. The hour is still early, the weather is also a little cold, there are not many pedestrians outside, this is the second time Yang Xianrong has seen the street scene of Pingyang City, this street seems to sell antiques and calligraphy and painting shops more, but now there are only a few open.

"If you like it, go in and have a look." Liu Ling said.

"Another day." Yang Xianrong said that her visit to Pingyang this time can be regarded as a light car, and the subordinates she brought with her, except for Zhang Hui and Hu Sheng, were a team of soldiers sent by Liu Yao to escort her, and there were even fewer things with her, except for a few clothes. But when she arrived in Pingyang, she remembered that she couldn't pass the long time after that, even if there was Liu Ling, Liu Ling couldn't accompany her all day, she should really buy some calligraphy and painting and other things.

Liu Yao likes to read, but he doesn't have much time over the years, and there are some military books in the study, which is not what Yang Xianrong is interested in.

Pingyang City is not big, from the palace out of the two or three streets walk is the Huiji County Mansion, the next person at the gate of the palace saw Liu Ling hurriedly went in to report, not long after, the person came back, bowed down and invited the two to go in.

The Huiji County Mansion is said to be a mansion, but in fact, it is a larger courtyard, empty and without any decoration, thinking that Sima Chi is used to living a life of brocade clothes and jade food, and it is indeed wronged to let him succumb to such a place, no wonder he will be frustrated. Although Sima Chi has always been indifferent, even if he became an emperor, he wanted to live a life like idle clouds and wild cranes, but that choice was made by himself, and there was a world of difference from this kind of forced one.

Sima Chi staggered out of a room on the side, yawned, and said dissatisfiedly: "I know that my sister-in-law will come today, but I came too early, it's really torturous." ”

Yang Xianrong glanced at Sima Chi, and said angrily: "You are getting lazier and lazier." ”

"There's nothing to do, won't you live up to such a beautiful day if you don't sleep?" He stretched out his hand to the house and made a "please" gesture, saying, "Two of you in the room, please." ”

Liu Ling looked at Yang Xianrong, she knew that the two of them must have something to say, maybe these words were not convenient to say in front of her, so she simply did it to the end, and simply shirked that she had something to do, and retired first. Yang Xianrong followed Sima Chi into the house, which was too simple, and a few sheets and a few futons surrounded the charcoal fire.

"Simple is a little simpler, but I'm alone, and I don't want anything, it's good." Sima Chi was a little embarrassed to invite Yang Xianrong to sit down, and said: "Besides, it's someone else's realm, so we still have some eyesight." ”

Yang Xianrong didn't dislike the simplicity here, but he felt a little sad, Sima Chi was the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, and once he lost the country, he ended up in such a depressed situation. But thinking about it in another direction, he managed to save his life, and he was not even locked up, although he lived in a shabby house, he was full of three meals a day, and even the wine did not restrict him from drinking, which was not bad.

But this is the end of this life.

Sima Chi couldn't stand the sheep's eyes, and clasped his fists and said to her: "Don't look at me with such pity, compared to other monarchs who have died, I'm not bad." ”

"The Jin Dynasty is not dead yet." Yang Xianrong corrected, there is nothing more cruel than saying from the mouth of the king that the country is dead, not to mention that Sima Chi said it so lightly, as if it was none of his business.

"Didn't your husband go to fight Chang'an? Sooner or later. Sima Chi fell silent, he glanced at Yang Xianrong, sighed and asked, "What about you?" Are you still used to it in Binh Duong City? ”

"Nothing unaccustomed." Yang Xianrong raised her eyes and looked at Sima Chi, the distance between the two of them was close this time, she finally saw Sima Chi's appearance clearly, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, there were a few white threads on his head, and his face was still like that, but he looked a little tired, his beard was messy, and he hadn't taken care of it for a long time. A sloppy look. Yang Xianrong sighed: "Anyway, it's much better than you." ”

Sima Chi laughed when he heard this: "That's that, you still have this hope in your heart." ”

"How?" Yang Xianrong said: "Or I implore His Majesty of the Han Kingdom to introduce you to a girl, and you will have hope and cheer up." ”

Sima Chi frowned when he heard this, and was a little embarrassed: "The girl is good, but why should I cheer up?" You don't want to talk to me about anything like revitalizing the Jin Room, I have no horses, and I don't have that ability, and the Jin Room is hopeless. Don't tell me anything like that, I don't have the perseverance, I don't have the courage, I see through it now, life is short, there are too many things to worry about, it's better to let go and have fun. ”

"Happy?" Yang Xianrong sneered: "Are you happy?"

"Are you happy to be a captive?" Sima Chi slapped the table: "Of course I'm not happy, so I'll find a way to make myself happy, understand?" ”

"By drinking?" Yang Xianrong asked.

"Exactly." Sima Chi nodded heavily, and then said: "It's okay to have a girl just now, I originally thought that the Huns, that girl was five big and three thick, but you can see some of the things I've seen these days, such as Princess Liu Ling, are pretty good-looking." ”

"Don't even think about it." Yang Xianrong glanced at Sima Chi: "What is Liu Ling's identity?" Leaving aside her identity as the sister of the emperor of the Han Kingdom, she is still your brother's daughter-in-law, you don't have to mess around. ”

"It's because she is Liu Cong's own sister, Liu Yao is still Liu Cong's younger brother, they are called precious, I will eat soft rice with a little more fragrant, and you don't need to look disgusted as soon as you enter this room." Sima Chile said.

Yang Xianrong realized that Sima Chi was just teasing him, she didn't know whether to praise him for his good temperament or scold him for not being able to change eating, she just frowned and gave him a blank look, not wanting to say anything.

"How do you get along with your cheap son?" Sima Chi asked again.

"Can you speak properly?" Yang Xianrong's tone was a little unhappy, and she could see that Sima Chi was indeed unwilling to do this on purpose, but no matter how much he complained, no matter how angry he was, things were already like this, since he had no intention of making another career, why would he throw away the resentment in his heart at will, not even a child?

Sima Chi hurriedly waved his hand: "Okay, okay, Liu Yao's son is also your son, how do you get along?" ”

"I took him when he was young, and he had feelings for me." Yang Xianrong said nonchalantly, she didn't want to talk to Sima Chi about the matter between her and Liu Yao, because she obviously felt that Sima Chi's curiosity and questioning about her was completely based on unwillingness. However, in just a few months, his mentality has completely changed, and he is not the original open-minded Sima Chi. However, Yang Xianrong can understand that he and himself can be regarded as prisoners, but they are different after all.

"Last time Liu Cong held a banquet, I saw that child, who was very similar to his father." Sima Chi said lightly: "I also met Liu Ling's son, who is also my nephew." This fate......"

"Do you have to be like this?" Yang Xianrong asked.

Sima Chi glanced at Yang Xianrong and asked, "Which one?" ”
