Chapter 163: Empress Dowager Xie
Sima Xun'er really followed Yang Yu and came to Sima Yu's imperial study to talk, the two wanted to be old, but they could say a lot of things, and they would live their own lives after separation, but at first the two looked at each other speechlessly, Sima Xun'er knew a lot of etiquette between the palaces after all, and waited for the palace maid outside the door!
"Have you kept the jade pendant I gave you?" she asked.
Yang Yu was a little restrained, and said "Hmm!" softly.
"But don't you want to enter the Guanglin Academy, just take out my jade pendant, and you will be able to enter the admissions!" Sima Xun'er said.
"Does this jade pendant really work?" Yang Yu really didn't expect it.
"Of course, this is given to me by the first emperor, it is a royal thing of the Great Jin Dynasty, you take it to the gentleman of the academy, he will definitely recognize it, holding this thing is equivalent to the presence of the first emperor in person, and the gentleman of the academy has an agreement with the first emperor!"
Yang Yu smiled bitterly: "Actually, I didn't know at the time, even if I took this jade pendant to the Bamboo Forest Courtyard, it would be useless for people to accept me in the face of the first emperor, not to mention that at that time, people would never accept me!"
"Why?" Sima Xun'er was puzzled.
"At that time, I was a person who couldn't cultivate the Dao!" Yang Yu explained: "At that time, I didn't know that my body was completely unable to cultivate the Dao, and if I wanted to cultivate, I could only cultivate the Martial Dao, I just wanted to go to other courtyards to find a way to cultivate the Dao!"
Sima Xun'er sighed: "You are really a fool, the Guanglin Academy is in my Great Jin, which is equivalent to the cultivation place of the pillars of the imperial court, the students in it are not all cultivators, many young talents with letters of recommendation enter the academy for further study, and after they come out, they can become the future official substitute of my Great Jin, and they will also be the ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty in the future! Even if you can't cultivate, this is a good future for you!"
Yang Yu laughed and said: "I'm not here, if I can't cultivate, then why should I go to the academy?"
"Then ...... you now?" Sima Xun'er looked at him with inquiring eyes.
Yang Yu nodded and said: "That's right, now that I have embarked on the path of cultivation, and on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, the day of enrollment in the Guanglin Academy, I will go again, this time I still don't need to recommend, but enter the academy with my own strength!"
"The recommendation system is the result of the final negotiation between my Great Jin Imperial Court and Xuantian Sect, are you really so sure?" Sima Xun'er was a little unconvinced.
Yang Yu smiled: "Don't worry, I'm sure!"
Sima Xun'er looked at Yang Yu and said: "When you were by the fire, it seemed like this, and you were also full of confidence in whether you could enter the school after entering Beijing, by the way, you had a friend by your side at that time, what was his name?
Sima Xun'er mentioned Shi San, so that Yang Yu was silent for a while, yes! I haven't seen Shi San for more than three years! I don't know what happened to him! Collecting his thoughts, Yang Yu laughed.
"Back then, I was a poor boy in rags, and I told stories next to the fire and got acquainted with today's eldest princess, Princess Yunhua at that time, and now I still tell a few stories, and I got to know His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty today, don't you think it's very interesting?"
Sima Xun'er smiled mischievously and said, "What story did you tell the emperor's brother?
Yang Yu said: "You still like to listen to stories as much as you used to?"
"Yes, the imperial sister just likes to listen to stories! Sometimes she says that I read a lot of books, and there must be a lot of stories, and she asks me to tell her stories!" A voice suddenly appeared behind the two, which startled Sima Xun'er.
Yang Yu had already sensed that Sima Yu behind him was eavesdropping, so he turned around and said, "Your Majesty hasn't slept all night, why are you so energetic?"
Sima Yu jumped over, moved a chair, sat down and said: "I'm excited, I can't sleep with excitement at the thought that I can find a way to deceive that old thief! Brother Yang, according to your method, within a year, I will be able to grasp the real power and eliminate the old thief's opposition to the party!"
Sima Yu and Sima Xun'er have a good relationship, and they won't hide many things from her, so they said these words in front of her.
"So you're talking about these things! No wonder! I always feel that the emperor's brother is not such a story-loving person, aren't you afraid of being so bold?" asked Sima Xun'er.
"Don't worry, Brother Yang is the identity of a secret guard, and no one dares to disturb him within ten zhang of the imperial study, by the way, Sister Huang, how do you know Brother Yang?" Sima Yu said nonchalantly.
At this moment, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the voice of a eunuch from the Yellow Gate said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has arrived!"
This voice suddenly made the faces of the three people in the room change in fright! Empress Dowager Xie lowered the curtain, that was a real power figure, and there was financial support from the Xie family behind him, and he had always been very strict with the little emperor, and Sima Yu was afraid from the bottom of his heart.
Sima Xun'er's face was pale and she was also very scared, this Empress Dowager Xie has not been very good to herself, if she is harsh on Sima Yu, then she is disgusted with herself.
At this time, it is obviously impossible to slip away, Sima Xun'er is still standing outside the door of his personal palace maid, obviously unable to hide, Yang Yu smiled and said: "I'll avoid it, you can meet the Queen Mother, remember, tomorrow is the Peony Flower Festival, it is a very lively thing, and it is a big deal for the two of you!"
The meaning of Yang Yu's words has a special meaning for Sima Yu, but it is not the case for Sima Xun'er, thinking of this tomorrow's peony flower meeting, Sima Xun'er can't help but be gloomy.
The two sisters and brothers tidied up their appearances and prepared to take over, after Yang Yu flashed like a screen, not long after, he heard the sound of ringing bells, and someone walked into the imperial study! Yang Yu was curious, so he released his perception to perceive this rumored Empress Dowager Xie.
"Erchen knocks to see the queen mother!" said the Sima brothers and sisters in unison.
"Hmm!" a faint woman's voice sounded, "Kaoru'er is here too?"
"After returning to his mother, the son came to see the emperor studying, and wanted to ask him about the Peony Flower Festival tomorrow!" Sima Xun'er said respectfully.
Empress Dowager Xie hummed lightly again, obviously Sima Xun'er's lie had passed, but at this time, Empress Dowager Xie said in a somewhat sharp voice: "Emperor, why are your eyes red, did you stay up late last night, what books did you read?"
"After returning to my mother, last night the child was reading the "Book of Rites" to coincide with tomorrow's grand event, and there were foreign envoys visiting, thinking that my Dajin is the country of the upper state, and I can't let those foreign envoys underestimate it in terms of etiquette!"
Empress Dowager Xie said: "The etiquette of the imperial court is responsible for the Taichang doctor and Da Honglu and others, Your Majesty does not have to worry about this, tomorrow's flower party will be held after the early dynasty, and it will have its own arrangements at that time!"
"Yes!" Sima Yu replied respectfully.
"Xun'er, do you know that tomorrow's envoy from the Great Zhou and the Great Han is here to propose marriage to the imperial court, you should indeed prepare early!" Empress Dowager Xie said coldly.
