Chapter Thirty-Eight: Once a Memory

Since the plan was drawn up on the 11th, King Jing's Mansion seemed to have been shrouded in a dull atmosphere, pressing everyone out of breath, until there was one day left before the ancestor worship, Ning Ying passed the day's itinerary, which was no different from expectations, and at that moment, everyone's hearts were relieved for a moment.

That night, Sima Jing, Shen Xing, Yi Xue, and Yang Hui gathered around the table to eat a table of wine and delicacies, which was the first and probably the last time.

It's like congratulating reunion, and it's like lamenting parting.

When the meal was halfway through, Sima Cheng returned to the house, and he didn't know where he went, so when he arrived at the dining hall, he sat directly next to Yi Xue, and the personal guards naturally wanted to be in the closest place to the master, and now Yi Xue was also used to it, and continued to eat calmly.

When the five of them arrived and the group sat at a table, who knows when and in what capacity they will sit together in such a scene......

The most cheerful person at the dinner table is naturally Yang Hui, who can't stop when he sees good wine, except for Yi Xue, the other three people all know Yang Hui's alcohol, and they are not surprised, and he has worked the hardest these days, so he went with him.

The depressed emotions in Sima Jing's heart were also temporarily alleviated, and he had a few drinks with Shen Xing with great interest.

Sima Cheng had already eaten outside, he never held chopsticks during the banquet, and most of the time he was listening to everyone's chatter, halfway, Yang Wei repeatedly persuaded him to drink, but Yi Xue didn't drink, so Sima Cheng refused on the grounds of "guard", in fact, Yi Xue felt that it was okay, but Sima Cheng was still unmoved.

Although the delicious delicacies in the dining hall were full of fragrance, since Sima Cheng sat beside her, Yi Xue always felt that some other flavors were mixed in, and when she focused on identifying what it was, she actually smelled it and went directly to Sima Cheng, and when she reacted, the tip of her nose was only a fist away from Sima Cheng's shoulder.

Yi Xue sat down quickly in a panic, secretly glad that she was not discovered, so she pretended that nothing had happened, and quickly picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, but she didn't know if she was weak or what, she always felt that someone was staring at her, and the stuffed tofu in the bowl was going to play Tai Chi with Yi Xue, but she refused to obey.

The words during the banquet were endless, and when Yi Xue was still struggling with the piece of tofu, Sima Cheng next to him naturally scooped the piece of tofu into the bowl of Yi Xue with a spoon, and then said to Yi Xue:

"Your Highness, your subordinates' spoons are new, please eat them with confidence."

This time, Sima Cheng took the initiative to lean over, and for the strange taste just now, Yi Xue was even more sure.

Isn't that the taste of women's rouge gouache!

It was supposed to thank Sima Cheng for scooping the tofu, however, once he determined what the taste was, Yi Xue's expression was not good, and he nodded to him indifferently, Sima Cheng glanced at Yi Xue, feeling that her reaction was a little strange, but he didn't say anything.

Anyway, in his eyes, Yi Xue was originally a strange prince.

Most of the banquet has passed, Sima Jing and Shen Xing have left the table at some point, and only Yi Xue, Sima Cheng, and Yang Wei are left on the table.

Whenever Yang Hui drinks to his heart's content, the way to play drunk is to talk nonsense, but fortunately, it is just a bit too much, Yang Hui is as powerful as a cow, if he is drunk and crazy, he has to do it, and it is estimated that no one can help him.

Thinking of the smell of rouge and gouache on Sima Cheng's body, Yi Xue suddenly lost her appetite, and barely ate the last piece of tofu just now, if she leaves, Sima Cheng will inevitably follow, until now, Yi Xue has always felt that he is a righteous gentleman, and he is calm when he encounters trouble, not to mention the previous things, and now he treats her respectfully, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with him. But this inexplicable rouge gouache smell, is it ...... Don't...... Sima Cheng is the kind of hypocrite who steals incense and steals jade!?

Yi Xue didn't dare to think about it, but before she figured out what was going on, she didn't want to be alone with Sima Cheng, and if she left a drunk Yang Hui, she couldn't bear it, so she continued to sit in the dining room.

Yang Wei was drunk and hazy, holding an empty wine glass, staring at Yi Xue for a while, and looking at Yi Xue very uncomfortable. Suddenly, Yang Hui spoke up and said:

"Temple...... Your Highness, I ...... I am a sheep, do you remember? The first time I've met you...... It's in the peach concubine...... In the palace of the peach concubine...... That's ...... me."

Before he finished speaking, he pointed to Sima Cheng, who was sitting next to him.

"It's me with this kid...... Do you have an impression of taking you and your sister out of the palace? The sheep pouted.

Yi Xue was caught off guard by Yang Huan's memories of killing, and tried to recall the scene seven years ago, when she cried and begged her mother not to leave her and her younger brother, and then her eyes were black and unconscious, so she really didn't remember seeing him and Sima Cheng that day, but Sima Cheng also went? How old was he then......

Seeing that Yi Xue didn't speak or was not annoyed, he was drunk and smoky, and his words were not very neat, he suddenly put down the wine glass, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and then waved his hand and said:

"It's okay if Your Highness doesn't remember, you just woke up at that time...... I just didn't expect it...... After all this time, I can still see you again, it's just ...... It's just a pity for your sister......" Yang Hui suddenly had a sad look on his face, and there seemed to be something shiny in his eyes.

Sima Jing didn't tell Yang Wei and Sima Cheng that she was Sima Yixue instead of Sima Ji, firstly, because the matter is big, and the fewer people who know about it, the better, and secondly, he also wants to let Yixue rehearse in advance, after all, if you want to pretend to be another person, you have to deceive the people around you first.

So what Sima Jing told them was that Sima Yixue was missing.

Yi Xue didn't expect that the big-shouldered and thick-waisted general in front of him was actually a person who valued love and righteousness, and he still remembered her after so long, and was sad and sad for her, very surprised and at the same time felt a little comfort in his heart.

Sima Cheng looked indifferent and unmoved, as if he was used to seeing this scene.

And back then, it was he and Yang Wei who took the two sisters and brothers out of the palace.

Although Sima Cheng was only ten years old, under the careful teaching of Sima Jing and Yang Huan, his martial arts were no longer inferior to the sixteen or seventeen-year-old generals, and it was related to the court, Sima Jing naturally wanted to hand over this matter to a trustworthy person, and Sima Cheng was also a member of the royal family in terms of identity, so he followed.

However, Sima Cheng was young at that time, and he didn't remember the scene very well, and most of the memories of that time were that when he and Yang Huan were drinking, when they were drunk, Yang Huan would mention this matter and the princess.

"At that time, His Royal Highness was weak, I handed over the token of Tao Guifei to your sister, she was not afraid of danger, she took good things and ran away with you, not like a girl at all......"

Before Yang Huan's words fell, Yi Xue suddenly remembered the person who gave her a cloth bag and a somewhat rough voice like a general, the person in front of her seemed familiar, Yi Xue couldn't help but burst into tears, it turned out to be him. At this time, Yang Wei continued:

"Now that he has become such a gentle and jade-like son, if Princess Yi is alive, she should also be a slim son-in-law, if not...... Seeing you reunited with King Jing, I will have no regrets in my heart. After Yang Wei finished speaking, he suddenly got up, carried the empty wine jug, and stumbled to the outside of the hall.

Yi Xue was stunned, did not answer for a long time, there was a mist in front of her, and she vaguely saw that Yang Huan's back was about to fall, and she just wanted to go up to help her but was stopped by Sima Cheng, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain was seen by Sima Cheng in his eyes, Sima Cheng was also stunned, looked at each other, and said after a while:

"Don't look at him stumbling like this, he won't hurt himself."

I saw that the back staggered from side to side, and every time I was about to fall, I could turn to the other side in time, and so on. But looking at it, Sima Cheng frowned, even if Yang Hui was usually drunk, he would not be so staggering, and before he could figure it out, he saw Yang Huo fall at the door.

Yi Xue wiped away her tears and glared at Sima Cheng angrily, as if to say, "Didn't you say that he wouldn't fall?" You liar. ”

Sima Cheng looked innocent, shrugged his shoulders, and hurriedly passed on the servants in the mansion to let them carry the sheep to the West Pavilion.
