Xue was startled by Sima Cheng's sudden voice, and even her breath stagnated for a few seconds, she turned around, glanced at him angrily, and then punched Sima Cheng on the arm like a child, as a way to vent her dissatisfaction.

Sima Cheng's complexion did not change, his long figure was like a straight pine, standing behind the snow, at this time, Jiang Gonggong on the side leaned over and reminded respectfully:

"His Royal Highness is already His Royal Highness, and in the previous dynasty, he would no longer do such a child's act."

Jiang Shangyi's voice was deep and slow, Xue came back to her senses, nodded embarrassedly, and didn't dare to act rashly.

At this moment, Xue was still immersed in the solemn atmosphere of the previous dynasty, suddenly, Sima Cheng leaned over and approached Xue, Xue felt his breath, looked up, only to see Sima Cheng's face getting closer and closer, she was stunned for a while, her body could not move, and behind her was a white jade carved railing, there was no way back, and finally, she simply turned her head sideways and closed her eyes in fear.

Then, Xue only felt something move on her head, and suddenly understood something, but when she opened her eyes again, Sima Cheng had already withdrawn, leaving only a purple shadow.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Xue's face, and she hurriedly helped her hair bun, and lowered her head and tidied up her court clothes in a panic, a little at a loss.

"Your Highness, it's all right." Sima Cheng's voice was like a spring breeze, "Just now, His Highness looked sideways into the distance, so that the crown of his hair was moved sideways, and his subordinates have already straightened His Highness." Sima Cheng's tone was gentle, and in this hall of cold bricks and ice tiles, it was like a ray of sunshine that never existed.

"And ......" Sima Cheng raised his eyes to look at Xue's bun and said, "...... Your Highness is beautiful. ”

The snow brain was like lightning flashing, and it was blank.

Sima Cheng was praising her just now...... Pretty?!

That soft word dissipated between the solemn red walls and green tiles, Xue only felt that her heart seemed to skip a beat, she looked up suddenly, only to find that Sima Cheng's eyes were looking above her, it should be ...... It's looking at your own bun.

Originally...... It's beautiful in Aunt Kwannin's bun.

Xue looked flustered, he could only flick his sleeves widely, lowered his head, and strode into the Wishing Pole Hall, Sima Cheng and Jiang Shangyi hurriedly followed Xue's steps, and the figures of the three disappeared outside the hall corridor.

As I walked in the snow, my mind flashed back to what I had just done.

Although she was a little dissatisfied with Sima Cheng's ambiguous praise, when she looked up just now, she seemed to see a smile on Sima Cheng's face......

The thin lips are gently raised, with a looming arc, without evil spirits and cunning.

It turns out that Sima Cheng looks so good when he laughs......

……

However, in front of the main hall separated by a wall, on the way to the Taiji Hall, the officials had already gathered in twos and threes, whispering something.

Presumably it was yesterday that the Queen Mother returned to the palace with the young man in white, which caused a lot of uproar, and these ministers also heard about it more or less, plus the previous remarks that "the prince is in exile among the people", and if you put the two things together to consider who the young man in white is? The answer is imminent.

Today's former dynasty, the atmosphere is obviously more impetuous than in the past.

"Lord Wang, have you ever heard that the Queen Mother returned to the palace yesterday."

The person who interrogated was Tian Cao Shangshu Zheng Li, Zheng was a member of the Xingyang clan, Tian Cao was in charge of agricultural affairs, and he was not obviously biased towards Taiwei and Situ, but Tian Cao's affairs were inseparable from water conservancy fortifications, and Zheng Li turned out to be Sima He's retainer, and he was also promoted by Sima He, so whether it was officialdom or private, the two often interacted.

"Wasn't the day of returning to the palace already set by the ceremonial officer? Why did Lord Zheng say this? ”

One of the six people who replied, Zuo Min Shangshu Wang Gu, Langya Wang, the ancestors had several filial sons, so they were deeply loved by the local people, and entered the officialdom when they were old, not fighting or grabbing, and being cautious in words and deeds.

"Why should Lord Wang pretend to be confused, now who doesn't know in the streets and alleys, yesterday, there was a young man in white who returned to the palace with the Queen Mother" Zheng Li covered his face and whispered: "But I heard that the young man was wearing a hat, and no one saw his true appearance." ”

"Then in that case, Lord Zheng should not listen to false rumors and make unintentional speculations." Wang Gu was calm, but his eyebrows had already shown a disdain for such gossip in the streets.

"But......" Master Zheng looked embarrassed, and muttered in a low voice:

"Soon after the death of the imperial brother, it was rumored that the son of Tao Guifei, Sima Ji's sister and brother were not dead, but they were just rumors among the people, so everyone said...... That person has eight achievements and is His Royal Highness Ji. ”

Wang Gu didn't reply, touching his beard, his brows furrowed.

At this time, an official passed by Zheng Li, but as soon as he heard the conversation between the two, he stopped, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Zheng Li tilted his head and said to the man with a smile:

"This is not Lord Shangshu Lu in the palace, by the way," Zheng Li seemed to remember something, patted his hand, and happily seemed to have found a soulmate.

"Lord Lu must have heard about this, after all, Lord Lu is in charge of the security of the capital and the palace, and thanks to Lord Lu yesterday, the Queen Mother was able to return to the palace safely."

When Lu Zhong heard this, his face was a little strange, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately bowed again, and said respectfully:

"Let Master Zheng laugh, this is a matter of duty."

Wang Gu gave up his hand, signaled to take a step forward and left, Zheng Li and Lu Zhong were still standing in place, Lu Zhong glanced at Zheng Li, and asked tentatively:

"In this way, what should the two adults in the front hall do?"

When Zheng Li heard this, he looked around, grabbed Lu Zhong's arm, and whispered to him:

"It is said that it was the prince who rescued His Royal Highness Ji's sister and brother from the palace back then, so most of them have ......"

"In this way, Lord Situ ......" Lu Zhong's eyes widened in horror.

Zheng Li glanced at him, and the two of them quickened their pace, walked hurriedly, and walked towards the main hall.

Lu Zhong lowered his head, his face was calm and calm, but in fact, his heart was already up and down, like a thorn in his back.

Lu Zhong was originally also a righteous and upright Dayu official, but he had a group of wives and concubines in the family, and he was very fond of his son-in-law in his early years, so that his son-in-law was stubborn by nature, and he also inherited his father's hobby of being close to women, but at the end of the year, in order to occupy the daughter of a farmer, the younger brother of the farmer's family was beaten to death, and Lu Zhong had to beg Sima Lie in order to maintain the stubborn sister-in-law in the family, and finally gave the farmer the post of supervisor of Xingyang Hongqu, which was considered to have calmed down the matter.

In exchange, he became the first official in the Six Shangshu to explicitly defect to Sima Lie, secretly assisting Sima Lie, becoming his minion, waiting for an opportunity.

Situ and Taiwei have not arrived, above the court, the ministers have begun to discuss, these seven years, Dayu has always been not peaceful, the early dynasty is often interrupted, every time the ministers come to the palace, they are cautious, serious, for fear that a sentence will invite the disaster of killing, so a court meeting down, the ministers are often silent, today is the first time.

Cao Renbai also sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and immediately stopped the minister's broken words before the adults arrived.

So, is this Dayu about to change the sky?
