"We don't seem to have met before, young lady." Sima Yi thought about it and said.

The woman in front of her is not tall, but she is also generous and decent. The phoenix eyebrows and sword eyes have a bit of feminine heroism, and there is a little beauty mole in the center of the eyebrows, and it looks a little more weak and shy. And the clothes on her body look graceful and luxurious, which is different from ordinary female officials. For the sake of caution, he still seemed very respectful and did not leave immediately.

"Sima Gongzi may be a noble person who forgets things, a few months ago, we met once in Wangxiang Tower. However, when Sima Gongzi and King Hui went in a hurry, they may have seen the little woman and didn't pay attention to it. ”

Sima Yi's heart was shocked, after the woman's words, he suddenly remembered the first time he saw Yongdan Princess Xiao Zhan in Wangxiang Tower, when Xiao Zhan was discussing things with a woman, the time was long, he didn't remember it very clearly, now in retrospect, is it the woman in front of him?

"On the day...... Miss Tang, but are you talking to Princess Yongdan? Sima said.

"Exactly." Tang Xi smiled and said, "It seems that Sima Gongzi remembers." ”

Sima Yi smiled embarrassedly, it was no wonder that he could think of something so far ago. Although he met Princess Yongdan for the first time that day, he remembered it many times afterwards, but he basically didn't leave any impression on that woman.

"I wonder what happened to Miss Tang?" Sima Yu said, "If it's okay, I'll go back first." ”

Tang Xi smiled and said, "Why is Sima Gongzi in a hurry to leave? Could it be that the little girl was born so ugly that Sima Gongzi wanted to run away when he saw it? ”

Sima listened to the woman's words, and he felt a little calm. It should be the kind of power that rolls on the field and has more contact with people.

"Miss Tang forgive me, mainly ...... In the next day, I drank and drank greedily, and my body was a little weak. Sima lifted his head and pretended to say.

Tang Xi said "oh", as if he would have come to his senses, and seemed to be very concerned, and said: "Then Sima Gongzi will drink a few fewer glasses in the future, this day is dry, and I drink too much wine." I'm afraid it will hurt my body. ”

"Thank you, Miss Tang, for waking up. That's down there. I took my leave. Sima thought that this Tang Xi was nothing serious, so he was about to say goodbye and leave.

"Wait." Tang Xi said suddenly, "Sima Gongzi didn't say much in the face of the little woman. I'm leaving. It seems somewhat irreverent. No matter how humble the little girl's background is. is also the county lord of the Southern Dynasty, can't Sima Gongzi let the little girl say a few more words? ”

Princess?

Sima Yi thought about it, except for the county lord surnamed Xiao in the Southern Dynasty. Are there any other surnames? Sima couldn't help laughing at himself, and blamed himself for the short time he came to Jiangnan, although he had seen a lot of people around Xiao Ling, but after all, there were many factions of officials in the Southern Dynasty, and some princes and nobles couldn't come out and move around, he didn't know anything about this woman.

"What does Lord Tang have to teach you?" Sima excused himself.

"It's not true to see what you say." Tang Xi glanced at Han Jian and said, "It's not that the little woman is looking for you to have something, but that one of the little woman's juniors wants to meet you privately." Here is her letter. ”

As he spoke, Tang Xi handed a letter to Sima Yi. Sima Yi looked at the envelope, there was nothing on it, and was about to open it to see the contents inside, Tang Xi said: "Go back and look at it again." ”

Sima Yu nodded, and said in his heart, is it still impossible to see people inside?

After that, without Sima Yu's farewell, the woman had already gone to the palace first. When the woman crossed the gate of the palace, the guards were saluting, and Sima secretly said in his heart that the woman really did not deceive. Only when a county lord enters the palace at this level can he be so respectful.

Sima Yi put the letter in his arms and walked in the direction of King Hui's mansion.

Now he is a guest in a foreign country, although he is no longer a hostage, but after all, he only has a friend by his side.

In addition to coming to the palace today, and then accompanying Xiao Ling to walk around Jinling, he rarely came out, mainly because he was not familiar with the place, and he was also afraid that Zhu Tongjing's people would turn against him.

But this time, even if he returned home alone, there was not even a single person to watch on the road. This made Sima Yi feel a little relieved.

"It doesn't seem that I am that important." Sima laughed at himself, and when he stepped into the main gate of King Hui's mansion, he had already come out to greet him.

For the subordinates of King Hui's Mansion, Sima Yi has become the second master of King Hui's Mansion.

Back in the east chamber where he lived, Sima borrowed the candlestick and remembered the letter in his arms, and opened it to see that it was written by a woman. In the letter, the woman invited her to meet her at Nanting, and the time was three days later.

Who this woman is, the letter does not say. Sima Yi was a little strange, and said in his heart, could it be that Princess Yongdan wanted to see him? But I didn't think it was possible.

After all, Sima Yi still has some inferiority, in his opinion, Princess Yongdan is so high that she may not even care who she is, let alone ask him to speak. Even if it was an invitation, it was estimated that he would be persuaded to leave King Hui and defect to Zhu Tongjing.

Sima took a bath and was about to go to bed, but someone came to report that King Hui had come back and wanted to see him.

Sima Yi didn't expect King Hui to come back just over half an hour after entering the palace, and said in his heart, could it be that the court had a result in the discussion of sending troops?

Sima Yi was a little relieved after all, and hurriedly went to the main hall to see Xiao Ling. At this time, Xiao Ling seemed to be in good spirits, but she was still saying hello while walking.

"Hey, Brother Sima, I'm back!" When Xiao Ling saw Sima Yi, her spirits were better, and she smiled and stepped forward.

"I've seen King Hui." Sima bowed.

"Brother Sima, why are you still doing so much at this time? Where did we come from drinking before? Oh, look at my brain, suddenly it's cloudy, as if I vaguely remember someone coming to deliver the letter. After sobering up, the person was already in the palace. It's a real delay. Xiao Ling said with some disappointment.

"It's not a big deal, the letter is from Steward Li." Sima excused himself.

"I've seen it, and it's said that there is a change in the war in the north, alas! The affairs of the Northern Dynasty are too chaotic, unlike our Southern Dynasties, where Ding is Ding Mao is Mao. By the way, Brother Sima, when I came in just now, I heard them say that you came back alone, and there was no danger on the road, right? ”

Sima Yi smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

"That's good, I'm afraid that you will be targeted by the one surnamed Zhu on the road. When I saw him in the palace before, I really wanted to kick him. This time, the Queen Mother also summoned us to discuss this matter, alas! After all, there will never be a unanimous opinion on the matter of sending troops. ”

Sima nodded.

At present, the Southern Dynasties basically hold two views on the matter of sending troops to the north. In the past, the two parties were separated, Xie Rumo supported sending troops, while Empress Dowager He opposed sending troops. Now there are several opposing parties, Xie Rumo's position on sending troops remains unchanged, but Zhu Tongjing's side is wavering on the matter of sending troops, so that Empress Dowager He even has the intention of sending troops, but just said that she wants to wait for the right time. At this level, the north is almost pacified, and there is no follow-up.

Xiao Ling sat down and wiped her face with a towel, as if she was a little tired.

Sima Yi asked: "King Hui, there is a county lord surnamed Tang in the court, I don't know who?" ”

"The surname Tang? Which Don? You mean Lord Enron? Xiao Ling asked a little inexplicably.

"Perhaps...... Be. Sima said, "It seems that the county lord also entered the palace today, and he was summoned by the Queen Mother." ”

"There is still a county lord entering the palace today? How did I not know? The county lord of Anran is the righteous sister of my imperial brother, but this woman has a bit of a strange temper, and her husband's family has not married her before, so she was exterminated because of rebellion. And then she became an old aunt, haha, I saw it when I was a child, and I forgot what she looked like for many years. ”

Sima Yi listened to this story and seemed to be a little "complicated", and then thought about Tang Xi's speech at that time, and mentioned that it was a junior of Tang Xi who wrote to him. If the county lord of Anran is the righteous sister of the former emperor, then Princess Yongdan should call her aunt.

"Brother Sima, what's the matter? I'm the royal sister...... Got you? Xiao Ling saw that Sima Yi was a little absent-minded, and asked curiously.

"It's okay, today in front of the palace, there is a county lord who claims to be surnamed Tang Mingxi, gave me a letter, and when I came back, I realized that someone invited me to meet."

There is no big secret between Sima Yi and Xiao Ling, this kind of thing, he thinks it should be explained, otherwise Xiao Ling will think that he eats inside and out.

"Oh. That's my imperial sister. My imperial brother-in-law's family is surnamed Tang, and she originally followed the surname Xiao, why has she changed her surname to Tang now? Strange and strange. Who is the person who wants to see Brother Sima? ”

Sima shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

As he spoke, Sima Yi handed the letter to Xiao Ling to read. Xiao Ling read the letter, suddenly stood up from the chair, looked at Sima in surprise and said, "Oh, Brother Sima, this handwriting ...... It seems to be my little queen's niece. Aren't you interested in her? Haha, is she ...... too? The heart is in you, ready to come to a flower before the moon, that ......"

Sima Yi coughed, Xiao Ling said too "obscene", but his heart still jumped a few times.

But he soon calmed down again, just like he initially analyzed, even if it was Princess Xiao Zhan of Yongdan who was looking for him to meet, Xiao Zhan would not have a personal affair with a man or a woman.

"King Hui, this matter ...... Don't you think it's weird? Sima said.

"Strange? What's so weird? Although my imperial niece has gotten closer to Zhu Tongjing, she is also a good girl, can she still ask you for anything to do? ”

Sima sighed, what he said to Xiao Ling was obviously not the same thing.

"King Hui, now I am not a hostage of the Southern Dynasty, I am free to move, I can say that I can come and go freely. When I was imprisoned by Zhu Tongjing, the princess had never seen her, and now I want to meet, either to talk about the Northern Dynasty, or to have a relationship with you, King Hui. ”

Xiao Ling thought for a while, nodded and said, "Oh, Brother Sima, you don't have to think about it." Since you are interested in my little niece, can I still prevent you from going to see her? Even if the little emperor's niece was provoked by the surnamed Zhu, she came to you and me, I believe that with Brother Sima's character, she will not abandon me from the beginning......"

"Ahem, cough ......" Sima couldn't help coughing twice when he heard the words "chaos at the beginning and abandonment at the end".

"Forgive me, forgive me. It's not a good thing to say, it's ...... For me from the beginning? Haha, Brother Sima, I wish you a hundred years of good harmony with my little imperial niece. Give birth to a few little babies early, and when she is far away from the surname Zhu in the future, I will burn high incense. (To be continued......)
