Since ancient times, there has been a lot of life, and there will be no emperor in the next life.

As the daughters of the emperor's family, their fate may be destined at birth, becoming a relative, or a bargaining chip to win over ministers.

It's like a commodity, it's easily given away, and there's no power of choice, except for just a few people.

Compared with Sima Han, Dongyang's performance is remarkable, in other words, it is also decent, there is no brilliance, and there is no gloom, like the royal children of other eras, they grew up quietly and were sent out. It's no different.

After learning about this, Dongyang's instinctive reaction was to refuse, but when she thought of her father, she felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart, and the awe that appeared in her father's heart since she was a child made her have no courage to refuse, but like ordinary people, when something can't come up with a countermeasure, she will seek help from others. And his sister, Sima Han, is the first candidate, but the only candidate.

It's just that now he is seeing that his imperial sister is silent, and the appearance that Zhang Hua is not salty or light just now, which makes Dongyang feel like he has been abandoned. With two twitches of her shoulders, she jerked to death again.

"Don't cry." After Sima Han heard Dongyang's sobbing voice, he spoke, and Dongyang immediately quieted down like a cat that had always been docile.

"After a while, I will go to my father to inquire about what this matter is, and if it is really a foregone conclusion, I will try to save it."

"Thank you, Sister Huang." Dongyang said.

Sima Han nodded, then came to Dongyang, pinned the trace of green silk she hung down behind her ear, and looked at Dongyang gently: "Clean up your appearance, and now go with me to see the queen mother." ”

"Yes. Sister Huang. ”

Immediately, the group of three people walked forward, because they had to think about things, so they did not continue to ride in the carriage, all the way, it was very quiet, and no one broke the silence.

Unconsciously, the three of them entered Empress Shangguan's bedroom.

"You're here." After Empress Shangguan saw her two daughters coming, her sad face forced out a smile.

However, after seeing the last of the voices she wanted to see the most, she immediately sat up and became very uneasy: "You come... See me? ”

Empress Shangguan asked Zhang Hua stiffly, Zhang Hua looked at this mother, who had become very haggard because of his own mistakes, and he nodded

"Have you eaten it?" Empress Shangguan didn't know how to get along with this strange son. She asked politely.

"Queen Mother, we are here to eat with you." Sima Han said cooperatively on the side, Empress Shangguan was stunned for a moment, and then unconsciously looked at Zhang Hua.

Zhang Hua nodded. Empress Shangguan was immediately overjoyed.

"Good! Good. The queen mother asked the imperial chef to prepare lunch. ”

Instructed the maidservants to go down and arrange, especially what Zhang Hua liked to eat when he was a child, Empress Shangguan never forgot it.

Zhang Hua saw all this in his eyes, he couldn't help but complicate his heart, after all, he is not a ruthless to thorough person, Queen Shangguan's feelings for "Sima Rui", which made Zhang Hua, an "outsider", couldn't help but be moved, Queen Shangguan and her busy figure also wanted Zhang Hua to do something for her.

Unconsciously came to Queen Shangguan, Zhang Hua wanted to speak and stopped, what did she want to say, Queen Shangguan looked at Zhang Hua's appearance, and she was nervous and pinched her nails into the flesh without knowing it.

"Give me... Give me some time. After Zhang Hua hesitated again and again, he said intermittently, after Empress Shangguan heard it, tears continued to fall like a line, Zhang Hua took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to her, Empress Shangguan took it and nodded constantly: "The queen mother is waiting for you, she will always wait for you." ”

The scene in front of him made Dongyang, who had just stopped his tears, inevitably have a tendency to burst into tears again, this time, even Sima Han couldn't resist, took a deep breath, raised his head and held back his tears.

Then, after wiping her tears with the tears handed over by Zhang Hua, Empress Shangguan spread out her handkerchief, not knowing what to think, but after seeing that the handkerchief in her hand was a woman's handkerchief, she couldn't help but be curious

"This handkerchief... Is it the girl's? Empress Shangguan asked Zhang Hua with a smile, Zhang Hua paused, and replied vaguely: "A... Old friend. ”

Empress Shangguan nodded lightly and didn't continue to ask anything, but looked at her appearance. She seemed to have guessed something.

What happened to Zhang Hua and Yang Zhongling, Sima Han had mentioned a sentence or two in front of Empress Shangguan, and at this moment, Zhang Hua's somewhat sad expression could naturally make her guess something.

did not continue the topic, Empress Shangguan did not want her children to suffer anymore, as a mother, such a choice was just instinctive.

Subsequently, this family, in the absence of Sima Yan, also talked about something, but Dongyang's mood was not high, so that Empress Shangguan found out, and after asking in three or two sentences, Empress Shangguan knew what was going on.

"You can give it a try, but you can't do too much, otherwise it will only backfire." Empress Shangguan told Sima Han

Empress Shangguan knew very well the ability of her daughter, and at the same time, she felt scared, if Sima Han was a man, Empress Shangguan didn't know what the situation would be now.

Maybe if you show your strength in front of Sima Yan, then the effect will only backfire. Sima Han nodded after hearing this.

Zhang Hua on the side, feeling that he was about to learn something he didn't want to know, walked out with the reason that he wanted to see it.

When I came to the back hall, a garden, and looked at the weeping willow in front of me, which was originally dry but now full of vitality, Zhang Hua couldn't help but look fascinated.

New sprouts had already sprouted from the willow branches, and the feeling of the birth of life filled his chest, making him addicted and unable to extricate himself.

And at this moment, a middle-aged man in a yellow shirt, after seeing the back of Zhang Hua, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a few shocking looks.

Quickly reach out to stop the maidservant, the eunuch, who is about to kneel and salute. He seems to not want people to disturb Zhang Hua, very sensitive.

The man let out a sigh of relief. Shaking his head: "This day will come after all." Why am I still afraid..."

That's right, this man is Sima Yan, who originally came here to discuss with Empress Shangguan about Dongyang's marriage, but after learning that Sima Han was accompanied by a man himself, he seemed to know something.

After inquiring about the location of Zhang Hua, Sima Wei looked at the emaciated and tall back, and showed a gratifying smile: "It's quite tall." ”

Then, after a moment's hesitation, Sima Yan looked at the back of a painting with complicated eyes, and then walked forward
