But Sima Zhan's move, for Sima Jingling, is really a pediatric trick, it is all left over from the people who used to oppose Sima Jingling, but for some people, it is still very useful.

A newcomer who didn't seem to be very old and Sima Jingling hadn't seen it was very indignant about the current situation.

He stood up with a serious face and said to Sima Jingling in an accusatory tone:

"Your Highness, your actions are really inappropriate."

Sima Jingling didn't raise her head when she heard this, and indifferently drank all the water and wine in her hand, and then asked interestingly: "Oh? What's wrong with this palace, why can't this palace itself be clear? If this adult has any opinions, it is better to give some advice on this. ”

If it is a smart person, or a minister who has been immersed in officialdom for a long time and has a keen sense of smell, then when he hears Sima Jingling say this, he should stop the loss in time and stop saying anything more about it.

It's a pity that the one in front of me is really a stunned young man.

After listening to Sima Jingling's words, not only did he not stop talking, but he really said seriously,

"There are three things that Your Highness did just now. Although Her Highness is now the eldest princess of the Southern Imperial Kingdom, her identity is still different from that of Her Majesty, and she should answer Your Majesty's questions with an extremely casual attitude.

Second, no matter what mistakes Your Majesty has, you can't point them out in public and lose Your Majesty's face, and besides, Your Majesty didn't make any mistakes just now.

The third is that since Your Majesty has confessed your mistakes to Your Highness in advance for the sake of brotherhood, then you should be magnanimous and grateful for forgiveness and the slightest hint of trepidation, not as lukewarm as you are now.

The above three points, no matter which point is singled out, are enough to be called disrespectful.

Your Highness is not aware of these mistakes of your own, and your Highness's problems are far more serious than what I said. ”

When the old ministers at the banquet heard this man's words, they all gasped, and at the same time they felt that this person was so bold, they also mourned in their hearts for his predetermined ending.

Is this person really not clear, how Princess Jinning became Princess Jinning?

They cautiously looked at Sima Jingling, who was sitting on the upper seat, and only felt that Princess Jinning at this moment was exuding a terrifying momentum all over her body, as if she might swallow the kid in front of her who didn't know the height of the sky at any time.

There are also some newcomers, although they have not yet learned the power of Sima Jingling, but they are people who know how to judge the situation, and when they see the atmosphere of the scene now, they feel that there is something wrong with it, so they all bow their heads, drink the wine in the glass in front of them, and dare not say anything, nor dare to do anything.

With a "pop", Sima Jingling placed the cup in her hand on the table in front of her.

Then the hearts of the ministers also followed the sound of the cup colliding with the table and "chuckled", as if they were the cup, which was placed on the table at once, and they could feel the coldness on the table.

Sima Jingling's face was obviously smiling, but her smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, but there was some coldness.

"This palace doesn't seem to have seen you, I don't know where you came from, and now you're in the court, what are you doing?"

The man didn't think that Sima Jingling meant anything else, so he bowed slightly and replied to Sima Jingling:

"The minister's background is not so noble, and he is not from the capital, but he was jointly elected by the villagers of Shili.

His Majesty Chengde's Holy Grace can have a place above the court, although it is only a small book and history order. "This reception banquet held by Sima Zhan for Sima Jingling is huge and very grand, basically including all the officials and princes in the court of the Southern Imperial Kingdom.

Because the distance on the road was not too far, Sima Jingling was not able to ask Chun Tao more details.

But these are nothing, after all, during the time she went to the Northern Proud Kingdom, she did not completely cut off the internal connection with the Southern Imperial Kingdom.

She only reduced her sense of presence in the affairs of the court on the surface, but behind the scenes, she still paid attention to the situation in Nanyu's country.

Especially about Sima Zhan's growth in this regard, she has always learned about it through her own channels.

It's just that when I met Sima Zhan, I was shocked to see the changes in myself in person, which was far more than what was described in the letter.

As for the bigger changes in the Southern Imperial Kingdom, that is the great change of blood experienced by the four major families.

When Sima Jingling left, the Wang family had already suffered a serious blow because of the matter of seeking a position.

If it weren't for the deal reached between Sima Jingling and the Wang family, it would not be surprising that the Wang family would be removed from the four major families in Beijing.

However, the Wang family was indeed greatly injured because of this incident and could not maintain his position as the head of the four major families.

Compared with the Wang family, the original four families in the capital were the most miserable is the Ning family.

King Qin lost early in the seizure of the throne, and he also deliberately rebelled, and even the Ning family behind him died cleanly.

The original respect for the famous family disappeared overnight, which is enough to make people wake up and sigh.

Therefore, because of the defeat of the Ning family, the rising star Zhang family who made up for it is enough to be cautious and cautious, and he will not touch the slightest dangerous thing, highlighting a sleekness and a what is called Mingzhe self-preservation.

Therefore, the new four families in the capital are the Xie family, the Gu family, the Zhang family and the Wang family.

Originally, the old four families, the Xie family was located at the end of the four.

However, due to the blow of the Wang family itself, it will not be able to recover its glory for a while, and the Xie family has ushered in its own development opportunities.

And the Xie family is good friends with the Gu family, and the Gu family itself is not a person who likes to compete, as long as there will be no accidents to Prince Chu in the end, and they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, their Gu family will be satisfied, so they don't care about the so-called ranking of the four families.

The reason why the Xie family used to rank at the bottom of the four was not because they had no property and couldn't make money, or because they had no people in the court and no influence; It is because there are huge differences and shortcomings among the Xie family.

Part of the Xie family is ambitious and self-interested people who only think about their own future and interests; Some of them are people who are content with the status quo and only want to be blessed by their ancestors and clans, and do not want to survive on their own strength at all.

As for the remaining part, like Xie Qingyun, the eldest son of the Xie family and the new head of the Xie family, he seeks a way to change the Xie family, so that the Xie family can regain the prosperity of the pre-lease period.

As a result, under the leadership of Xie Qingyun, this part of them carried out a drastic liquidation and rectification of the Xie family.

If there are those who do not obey orders, Xie Qingyun also changed his previous elegant image, and used extremely strong means to make them not only not submit to his majesty.

was really unconvinced, Xie Qingyun didn't talk any nonsense, and directly removed them from the Xie family tree, even if the elders of the clan came to stop them, they showed no mercy.

The fate of these people who were driven out of the Xie family genealogy can actually be imagined.

On weekdays, everyone looks down and doesn't look up, especially their families who are both political and businessmen, and the news is naturally much better than ordinary people.

These people do business or do things, in fact, they rely on the identity and name they represent behind them.

These people don't have the identity of the Xie family, if they want to do something, they must run into walls everywhere, and they can't do it at all, especially after everyone sees Xie Qingyun's such a firm and strong attitude.

If these people who were kicked out, if they could put down their bodies, just like those ordinary merchants in the Southern Imperial Kingdom, and start with a small business, then they would not be unable to survive.

But they really can't save face.

In this way, whether they can solve the problem of food and clothing by themselves is a problem, and how can they do what they once wanted to do, or go back to take revenge on Xie Qingyun?

Xie Qingyun liquidated those in the group who didn't do things and those who wanted to do other things, and the rest of the Xie family were all people who did practical things and had the ability.

They joined forces and worked together, and after developing for a period of time, they successfully became the heads of the new four major families in the capital.

When Sima Jingling's sedan chair arrived at the banquet venue, Xie Qingyun happened to have just arrived here, and was standing at the door with others to greet him.

Sima Jingling glanced at Xie Qingyun on the sedan chair, and found that although Xie Qingyun had become the first master worthy of the name, his face was still the same as that Sima Jingling had seen at the beginning, with the appearance of a humble gentleman, and he couldn't see at all that this was the head of the Xie family with thunderous means that no one in the capital dared to underestimate now.

After Xie Qingyun stopped in Sima Jingling's sedan chair, he turned around and waited for Sima Jingling to get off with the people at the door, and respectfully saluted Sima Jingling.

As soon as the curtain of the sedan chair was opened, after everyone heard Sima Jingling's "no courtesy", they all looked up slightly at Sima Jingling, and they couldn't help but be shocked in place, and then marveled in their hearts.

Although this princess Jinning has been away from the Southern Imperial Kingdom for a few months, her demeanor is still the same, a pair of bright, bewitching but sharp eyes are still the same as before leaving, extremely imposing, making people feel frightened at a glance, as if all thoughts have been seen through.

Everyone didn't dare to look any further, and quickly lowered their heads again.

They heard the footsteps of Sima Jingling getting off the sedan chair, and felt that Sima Jingling was walking in their direction step by step, and then brushed them again, leaving a faint fragrance, which made people addicted and a little trance-like.

Sima Jingling paused as she passed by Xie Qingyun's side.

She glanced at Xie Qingyun with great appreciation, and then said to him: "Congratulations to the head of the Xie family for getting what he wanted, even if he has not had time to congratulate the head of the Xie family, it is a rude of the palace." ”

Xie Qingyun bowed his head slightly, and saluted Sima Jingling:

"Your Highness's words are serious. The minister is just an inconsequential ordinary person, and he really can't afford His Highness's high hopes. His Royal Highness has this intention, and the minister is already very satisfied. ”

Sima Jingling shook her head with a smile, but she didn't say anything more, and then motioned for Xie Qingyun to enter with her.

Xie Qingyun made another gesture, and then followed quietly half a step behind Sima Jingling, listened to Sima Jingling's words, and then took advantage of the right opportunity to respond to a few words at any time.

After Sima Jingling and Xie Qingyun's figures gradually moved away, a burst of discussion suddenly broke out in the group of people at the door,

"It turns out that Her Royal Highness Princess Jinning is still as strong as ever, obviously she hasn't done anything yet, but as soon as she looks at me, I can't help but be afraid, this is really, Yu Wei is still there!"

"What is this, don't you think that Her Royal Highness Princess Jinning is like a non-human, after this long journey, there is no fatigue on her face, and the whole person is still so radiant and radiant, it is simply ......"

The man didn't finish his sentence, but everyone agreed.

Although most people don't believe it very much.

However, others don't believe it, it's all someone else's business, and in Yu Agui's own opinion, the most important thing is Sima Jingling's opinion.

He snuggled quietly beside Sima Jingling, and remembered Sima Zhan's eyes in his heart, from being completely relaxed at the beginning to being ready for battle.

Although Sima Jingling didn't see Sima Zhan's eyes, she clearly felt the change in Ah Xuan's mood.

She didn't say anything, as if nothing had happened, and walked into the banquet hall and sat down in her seat.

Everyone sat down, and Sima Zhan announced the start of the banquet with a very excited mood.

The hall suddenly resounded with a beautiful sound, which made people intoxicated, and no one thought about some bad things in this world anymore.

After eating and drinking for a while, Sima Zhan picked up the conversation.

He asked Sima Jingling:

"Sister Huang has been out for so long, where have you gone, and you have a good time?"

Sima Jingling ate the dish that Apu held for her, smiled slightly, did not hide it, and said directly: "There are so many interesting places in this world, after the palace left the capital, I went all the way north, and I went directly to Beiaoguo." ”

"North Proud Country!"

The courtiers let out an exclamation, and then whispered.

Sima Zhan also looked surprised when he heard this, and then said worriedly:

"I thought that Imperial Sister you were just going outside for a stroll, but I didn't expect to go to Beiaoguo.

I heard that the Northern Proud Kingdom is in great chaos now, Imperial Sister, you haven't been affected, have you? ”

A chill flashed in Sima Jingling's eyes, and then replied with a smile: "How can that little chaos in Beiao affect the palace?" Your Majesty, you may be a little worried. ”

Sima Zhan's throat choked, and then he said with a slight loss: "It's that I can't speak a little, and I ask the imperial sister not to blame." ”

When Sima Zhan said this, Sima Jingling naturally couldn't say anything, so she could only smile slightly, let her taste and experience it herself.
