Xue once still had a hint of fantasy about this, if the prince could find Sima Cheng before the enthronement ceremony, then she could retire this crown.

So far, the matter of "Sima Ji returning to the palace to ascend the throne as emperor" has only relied on Lu Yi's way through various counties and counties to post notices to calm the people, but the enthronement ceremony is different, it is a sacred ceremony from the center of power to the common people.

The black and white words on the notice will be vividly displayed in front of the world at that moment, and the face of the snow will be remembered in the hearts of the people of Dayu, which is the real announcement to the world.

Xue is now just wearing court clothes, going in and out of several palaces, meeting ministers every day, although doing what the emperor does, but in her heart she has always thought that she is acting for Sima Ji, but on the throne hall, she will accept the canonization of heaven and the worship of all people, this feeling is different.

In fact, the enthronement ceremony, the snow has been half-pushed and half-done, and it has been delayed for more than a month, and she thinks she is ready. However, when Sima Yun showed the enthronement ceremony one by one in front of Xue, she found that the hurdles in her heart still existed, but it was time to escape.

If the enthronement ceremony is delayed for one day, there will be more danger of snow, and if it goes on like this, she can only face it head-on.

Xue sat alone in the empty imperial study, staring blankly at the door, the sun outside the house was shining brightly, but it could not shine into Xue's heart.

……

"Cheng Gongzi seems to have nothing to do with the enthronement ceremony."

Sima Cheng, Pei Xuanling and Sima Cheng were walking on the stone road in the palace, and Pei Xuanling suddenly said something.

Sima Cheng was slightly stunned, but did not answer, but Sima Yun's face changed instantly, showing a look of surprise, and hurriedly approached Sima Cheng and asked:

"Really? Your Majesty didn't tell you that? ”

Sima Yun always thought that among these sons, Sima Cheng was the one in Xue's heart, and Sima Cheng's attitude towards Xue was obviously better than his own, so he was unhappy for a while, but he didn't expect that it would be like this now.

"I don't know what Your Majesty has decided if I don't need one of my personal guards to know."

"Oh~" Pei Xuanling said meaningfully.

When Sima Yun heard this, he felt that Sima Cheng's words sounded like they had nothing to do with him, but in fact they revealed a faint resentment, he couldn't help but smile slyly, and asked Sima Cheng in a low voice:

"What's wrong? Did you quarrel with Your Majesty? “

Listening to Sima Yun's words, Sima Cheng's body shook, and he suddenly stopped, looking at Sima Yun like looking at something strange, Sima Yun found that Sima Cheng had stopped, and quickly turned his head to look.

At this time, Sima Cheng immediately returned to his usual plain and cold appearance and took a new step.

Seeing that Sima Cheng didn't answer, Sima Yun guessed by himself.

"Are you stealing Your Majesty's osmanthus cake and making Your Majesty unhappy?" In Sima Yun's impression, Xue seemed to like eating these small pastries.

When Sima Cheng heard this, his face showed a trace of helplessness, he had traveled thousands of miles to give people Taishi cakes, how could he steal that kind of thing.

Sima Yun was still silent, but his face seemed to be ugly, and he immediately changed his words and said:

"That'...... It's just stealing the golden cinnamon wine in the palace, right? “

Sima Yun actually knew that Sima Cheng was not interested in these things, and he also knew that the golden cinnamon wine in the palace was brought back by Sima Cheng, so he wanted to provoke Sima Cheng to see if he could hear anything from his mouth.

This time, Sima Cheng seemed to be a little unable to listen to it, and replied coldly:

"Did you drink all the golden cinnamon wine in the palace?"

"I didn't, when I went back, I was already drunk by General Yang." Sima Yun smiled and hurriedly waved his hand.

After that, Sima Yun talked about something that was not, Sima Cheng was a little bored when he listened, perhaps because Sima Yun's first sentence was right, in order to let Sima Yun stop for a while, Sima Cheng asked:

"What day is the enthronement ceremony?"

Sima Cheng suddenly asked solemnly, and also asked Sima Yun, the great Honglu, who was solely responsible for the matter, Sima Yun also immediately put away the appearance of hanging a child just now, and replied solemnly:

"The fifth day of the ninth month, the day of Jiazi."

On the fifth day of the ninth month, there was less than half a month, Sima Cheng secretly calculated in his heart, Sima Yun wanted to show off the results of his conscientious work with Sima Cheng, but seeing that Sima Cheng began to stop talking again, he nunu mouthed, leaned over again, and said jokingly:

"What, you're starting to care about Your Majesty? "Hee-hee" Sima Yun deliberately hid his face and pretended to smile shyly.

As a result, Sima Cheng naturally got a roll of the eye, but is this "concern"? For a moment, this thought flashed through Sima Cheng's mind.

"What is the day of Jiazi?" Sima Cheng saw Sima Yun's thoughts, so he asked according to his meaning.

"Among the heavenly and earthly branches, A and Zi are ranked first, and both A and Zi correspond to the number of 'nine', and 'nine' is the number of heaven, so it is especially suitable as the day of enthronement." Sima Yun said, "Moreover, after King Wu of the Western Zhou Dynasty conquered Yin Shang, he set the world on Jiazi Day in February, so the national fortune lasted for 800 years, and it can be seen that Jiazi Day is an auspicious day......

Along the way, Sima Yun's eyebrows fluttered and he said a lot of things about the astronomical calendar, and Sima Cheng also heard the truth, and before he knew it, the three of them came to the gate of the palace.

Sima Cheng said goodbye to Pei Xuanling and Sima Yun, Sima Yun showed a reluctant look, Pei Xuanling looked at his sad appearance, and couldn't help but kindly remind:

"The day of enthronement is approaching, you have to come to the palace every day, what is there to worry about." As he spoke, he patted Sima Yun on the shoulder, and then turned to Sima Cheng.

"Cheng Gongzi, you also heard Your Majesty say just now, she wants these preparatory officials to enter the palace in advance and talk about calligraphy and painting, but it should be more than just talking about calligraphy and painting......

Pei Xuanling wanted to speak and stopped, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Maybe Your Majesty has other plans, but that's not something that can be judged below." Sima Cheng bowed his head slightly and replied respectfully.

"But this time, didn't Cheng Gongzi know? Yun Gongzi is busy with the enthronement ceremony, or you will prepare for the elegant meeting in the palace this time, how about it, later, I will go and bring you to Your Majesty. ”

Sima Cheng still didn't answer, Pei Xuanling was not annoyed, leaned into Sima Cheng's ear, and whispered:

"Cheng Gongzi also knows that the sons of these reserve officials are like wolves and tigers, and when the time comes, they may eat His Majesty to the bones, is Cheng Gongzi going to stand by and watch?"

When Sima Cheng heard this, his eyes immediately revealed anger, Pei Xuanling seemed to sense Sima Cheng's unkindness, and hurriedly took two steps back, but still looked at him with a smile.
