Chapter Seventy-Eight: The New Year is Approaching
At that time, Yang Xianrong entered the palace, because of the relationship between relatives and relatives, and the sheep family is not an important family, so Yang Xianrong and the family correspondence as long as it is not too frequent are not checked. Later, Liu Yao had an accident, and Yang Xianrong's nervousness attracted Sima Lun's attention, and he was afraid that the Yang family would still follow the Liu family behind him, so he began to check the correspondence between Yang Xianrong and the Yang family. After that, Yang Tingcai inquired about the relationship everywhere, and finally contacted a small leader in the Su Guard Army named Yan Sheng through Liu Yao, who was originally in the same battalion as Liu Yao in the Yamen Army, and the relationship was very good, but Liu Yao was transferred to the Su Guard Army but did not succeed, so he took the position. Because of this relationship, and he also wanted to save Liu Yao, and he also had an old lady at home who needed money to see a doctor, so he took the errand of delivering letters and helped to pass the letters that were inconvenient to be checked back and forth in and out of the palace.
As soon as Yan Sheng got the letter handed to him by Yang Annex, he knew that it was written by Liu Yao, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Liu Yao, are you okay?" ”
"Okay." Yang Fu replied: "He married a wife in Marudu, and I'm afraid he won't come back." ”
Yan Sheng's expression darkened, and he laughed helplessly: "He still owes me a drink, I also bathed and changed clothes that day, and prepared two glasses of wedding wine, ready to drink on the way to see the two of them leave." ”
Yang Fu didn't want to mention the past anymore, so he hugged his fist at Yan Sheng and said, "Please." ”
Yan Sheng quickly handed the letter to the Xianyang Hall through his own people, Su Chen looked at the unfamiliar font on the envelope, and handed the letter to Yang Xianrong with a little doubt, and as soon as Yang Xianrong saw the words on the envelope, his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and his hands trembled and told Su Chen to close the door, she hid in the house alone, calmed down for a while, and then carefully opened the letter.
In the few letters in the letter, he told Yang Xianrong that he had met a woman who could spend his life with him, and reassured her that he would stay with that woman in distant Goguryeo and would not come back. After that, the two of them, one parted and two wide, and they were fine.
Yang Xianrong didn't expect that she was waiting for such news, she didn't know whether to be relieved or sad, she knew that this was the best ending, but in her heart, there was always a trace of unwillingness, the two people who were supposed to leave together, he had forgotten the promise he had made to her, and lived the life she had always longed for with another person.
Yang Xianrong read the letter over and over again, not noticing that she was already in tears, which startled Su Chen, who had come in to check because she was a little worried, she took the letter in Yang Xianrong's hand, read it back and forth, and took advantage of Yang Xianrong's inattention, so she used a fire fold to lead it to burn.
"What are you doing?" Yang Xianrong was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab it, but Su Chen ran a few steps to the side, and when Yang Xianrong caught up with her, there was only a small horn left in the letter. Yang Xianrong glared at Su Chen angrily: "You are too much. ”
"Mother asked herself, is this thing kept?" Su Chen said: "Besides, I'm afraid you can memorize this letter." ”
Yang Xianrong sat down on the ground in frustration and said, "Actually, it really doesn't matter much. ”
"What's wrong?" Su Chen sat down beside Yang Xianrong and asked with concern, "Who got the letter?" ”
Yang Xianrong glanced at Su Chen: "He." ”
Su Chen understood and smiled: "There is no one else who can make you look like this except him." But he didn't mention this stubble anymore, and said: "Lin Xin and Lin Shuang learned some tricks from somewhere, do you want to go and see it?" ”
"What trick?" Yang Xianrong didn't want to go out of this door, but Su Chen was interested
Her vigorous appearance made her unbearable to ruin her interest.
Su Chen got up, also helped Yang Xianrong up, and said, "You will know when you go to see it." ”
Yang Xianrong followed Su Chen to the courtyard, and several palace ladies and eunuchs in the Xianyang Hall were there, regardless of the cold, they looked at Lin Xin and Lin Shuang who were surrounded in the middle one by one. Yang Xianrong took a closer look, there were three bowls upside down on the table in front of Lin Shuang, she put a copper coin in her hand into one of the bowls, and then quickly changed the position of the three bowls, letting the onlookers guess which bowl the copper coin was in. Several people's eyes could see clearly, and they all saw the position of the bowl with the copper coin on the left, so they guessed the left side, only to see Lin Shuang smile slyly and open the bowl on the left, which was empty, and everyone was in an uproar. They opened the bowl in the middle again, but there was still no copper coin in it. Everyone was talking about it, and they were about to open the third bowl, when Yang Xianrong stepped forward, touched Lin Shuang's sleeve, and put his hand into it, and took out a copper coin.
"Niangniang," Lin Shuang asked in surprise, "How do you know that the copper coin is in my sleeve?" ”
"When I do this trick, you don't know what you're doing." Yang Xianrong said with a smile. This trick was taught to her by Liu Yao, when they were still young, they often played in the West Market, there are many such jugglers in the West Market, relying on small tricks to coax others of copper coins, Yang Xianrong was also deceived of two copper coins, and then Liu Yao saw through the man's trick, and handed over the trick to Yang Xianrong. Yang Xianrong said again: "Besides, you can't do this trick, in case someone has to open the third bowl, you won't be able to explain?" ”
"Is there any other way for the mother?" Lin Shuang hurriedly asked.
"Nature." Yang Xianrong said: "I can let the copper coin in the bowl, and others can't guess it." ”
"Niangniang is really a god," one of the prisoners hurriedly patted the sheep's ass and said, "Niangniang will show us a hand." ”
Yang Xianrong waved his hand: "Not today, it's warmer another day, I'll let you open your eyes again." ”
Yang Xianrong returned to the room with a smile, and asked people to add a brazier, and it took a while to warm up, Su Chen came in and added tea to her, and then said, "After a turn outside, are you in a better mood?" ”
Yang Xianrong nodded: "Let me remember some things when I was young." She looked out the window and murmured: "At that time, Liu Yao was a young hero, with great ambitions, saying that he wanted to become a bigger hero than his father, for this reason, he read poetry and books, practiced martial arts hard, and did not dare to slack off for a day, and now, let him be trapped in that cold Goguryeo, I don't believe he will be like this for the rest of his life, he is helpless now, but if one day, he has the opportunity to come back, he will definitely come back." ”
"But he's married." Su Chen said.
"I know." Yang Xianrong glared at Su Chen, as if he was disgusted that she had to mention this, and then said: "He is a hero, and now Jiaolong is trapped in the pool and there is no way, but I can't help him, I must find a way to get him back." ”
The New Year is approaching, and all the palaces have begun to wipe and sweep, eager to clear all kinds of chaos of the year and usher in a festive and peaceful New Year. After cleaning, the palace began to be lit up again, creating a festive atmosphere.
Yang Xianrong hugged Nian'er, holding a small palace lamp, running around in the courtyard of the Xianyang Palace, and Xiao Nian'er made a cry from time to time. After playing for nearly a pillar of incense, the nurse took the child away, after all, it was cold outside, and she was afraid that such a young child would not be able to stand it and get sick. Yang Xianrong's face was red from the cold, but he was still excitedly directing the people in the palace to hang lanterns.
"You still keep saying that Nian'er is young, I think, you are not much older than Nian'er
。 Su Chen took out a cloak and draped it on Yang Xianrong, and said with a smile.
"It's New Year's, don't you have to laugh a little?" Yang Xianrong said: "Otherwise, when I think about it after this year, I won't be very happy from beginning to end." She said and asked again: "Can someone from Changle Palace send someone to ask?" ”
"I've been there, and the people on the princess's side are doing more neatly, and they're all resting now." Su Chen said: "The new clothes for the New Year have also been delivered, you have personally spoken, and the Shangyi Bureau does not dare to slack off." ”
"That'll be fine." Yang Xianrong smiled with satisfaction, and ran to direct the palace people to work again.
is having fun, Sima Zhen entered the Xianyang Palace, calm face, looking not very happy, he usually only has music to listen to, dance to watch, meat to eat, wine to drink, rarely unhappy times, today like this, Yang Xianrong really has not seen.
She immediately greeted her, and she didn't see any courtesy, she directly grabbed Sima Zhen's arm, and said with a smile: "Why does Your Majesty look like this?" ”
"Shang'er, that kid is sick." Sima Zhen sighed: "I am such a grandson, and God will take it away for me." ”
Yang Xianrong's heart sank, Sima Shang is Sima's youngest son, his two elder brothers went with his father, only he was left with a single seedling, when Sima Lun was in power, this child was driven out of the East Palace, suffered a lot of crimes, and then Sima Zhen came back, Sima did not wait to see this child, and had to set up a son of the king of Qinghe as the prince. Sima Shang is the son of the former prince, the only grandson of the emperor of the dynasty, Yang Xianrong did not give birth to a son, it is said that this East Palace should also be Sima Shang's residence, but Sima insisted on going his own way, confined Sima Shang in a mansion outside the palace, leaving only a nurse and two eunuchs to serve, he was already weak, and now he is also seriously ill.
"A child, King Qi will not let go." Yang Xianrong frowned, and said bitterly: "Brother Ma Yu will not be at ease in the sky. ”
"I sent someone to see the child, and I also asked the imperial doctor to come over, but those watchdogs didn't let me in, and the person sent by the emperor in my dignified manner, that Sima didn't let me in." Sima Zhen stomped his feet: "I'm angry." ”
"King Qi is arrogant and domineering, and it is not a day or two, and hundreds of officials are complaining, and his reputation among the common people is not good." Yang Xianrong said: "Even the king of Chengdu and the king of Hejian have separated from him. ”
Sima said impatiently: "I am still the emperor, I have angered me, and I will not let him be this auxiliary minister." ”
Sima Zhen is obviously angry, he has no power in his hands, what can he take away the position of auxiliary government of others, if this word spreads, I am afraid that Sima Yi will be angry and learn from Sima Lun to take the throne, won't he have to obediently move to that Kim Yong City to be his emperor?
Yang Xianrong smiled and pulled Sima Zhen into the hall and said comfortingly: "Your Majesty doesn't like King Qi, which king do you like?" ”
"The King of the River." Sima said sincerely: "He wants to establish Shang'er as the emperor's grandson." Moreover, he sent me a lot of things, and he was willing to give them to me what I liked, unlike the King of Qi, who buckled the ropes, and all the good things were moved to his house, and he didn't want to give me anything. ”
"What does Your Majesty like?" Yang Xianrong asked with a smile.
"Of course I like the words and drawings of those people." Sima Zhen smiled and looked at Yang Xianrong: "It's not that I like it, the queen likes it, and I will ask the queen for it in the future." ”
"Then," Yang Xianrong paused, and continued: "Since the emperor likes the King of Hejian, let's ask the King of Hejian for things in the future, okay?" ”
"Nature." Sima said sincerely: "Let King Qi play by himself." ”
