After a long time, the common conversation between the Queen Mother and Emperor Yanzhen stopped. Sima Hongyan was already sweating on his forehead, but he didn't dare to change his demeanor.

I heard the Queen Mother say: "Raise your head and let the mourning family see!" ”

Sima Hongyan heard what he was talking to, and hurriedly raised his head slowly.

When the master asked him to raise his head, the rule in the palace was to raise his head slightly, but his eyes should still look at the ground, not directly. Sima Hongyan didn't understand, she looked up at the Queen Mother completely.

The Queen Mother didn't pay attention to this, took a closer look, and praised lukewarmly: "Well, she looks quite handsome!" ”

Sima Hongyan looked at this woman who was quite kind-looking, but there was a chill in his heart.

Because of the Queen Mother's eyes!

The eyes that radiated a little cruelty to themselves. Sima Hongyan thought that he was wrong, but that awe-inspiring feeling would not be wrong.

At this time, the Queen Mother also found that Sima Hongyan's big black eyes were staring at her, and she was slightly angry, and immediately said, "Why are you so unruly?" I really don't know how your father taught you in the first place? ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother was unhappy, Emperor Yanzhen said with a smile: "Don't blame the Queen Mother, after all, Miss Sima is from a military general's family, and many things are informal, if there is anything that offends the Queen Mother, please calm the Queen Mother's anger!" ”

Seeing that Sima Hongyan was a little angry in his eyes, the Queen Mother said: "That's right, the children of the martial artists lack some tutors, and they don't know how to be polite as the ladies of the family." It's really hard for them to keep them in the rules! ”

Sima Hongyan raised his eyebrows and was about to speak. Seeing Emperor Yanzhen's eyes glowing, he shook his head at her slightly.

Sima Hongyan also understood Emperor Yanzhen's reminder, after all, in the deep palace, it is better not to be rash, otherwise if you offend the Queen Mother, I am afraid that no one will be able to protect herself.

Thinking about it in his heart, Sima Hongyan's eyes suddenly drooped, and he changed to a well-behaved appearance, listening to the Queen Mother's reprimand pitifully.

The Queen Mother has lived in the palace for decades, and all kinds of intrigues have long been clear in her chest, how can Sima Hongyan's subtle changes escape her eyes. However, seeing that Sima Hongyan put away his anger in an instant, and then turned into a kitten-like well-behaved appearance, he secretly said in his heart that this woman was really extraordinary.

No matter what the Queen Mother said after that, Sima Hongyan listened with a smile, no matter how ugly the words were, she didn't move at all.

Sima Hongyan was completely unprovoked by words, and the Queen Mother also said meaninglessly. As soon as the voice changed, he asked Emperor Yanzhen: "Your Majesty! I heard that the marriage contract between her and Qi'er was revoked by the emperor's decree. But I don't think this child is as immoral as the rumors, according to the meaning of the mourning family, or still give her to Qi'er, right? ”

No matter how arrogant Sima Hongyan was on weekdays, his expression changed greatly at this moment, and his eyes stared at Emperor Yanzhen in a daze, begging him not to agree.

Emperor Yanzhen also felt strange at this time, and asked, "Why did the Queen Mother say this?" Now that I have decreed that their marriage contract be waived, how can I go back on my word? ”

The Queen Mother sighed and said: "The mourning family doesn't want to embarrass the emperor, but this Qi'er has begged the mourning family many times, and every time she cries bitterly, how can the mourning family bear not to agree to him?" ”

Sima Hongyan was furious in his heart, and secretly scolded: "This damned prince, I didn't expect to find the queen to calculate me, and I had to get me into his hands to be willing!" Hum! Even if the fish dies and the net is broken, I won't let you succeed. ”

Emperor Yanzhen hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Empress Dowager Mingjian!" However, as far as I know, there seems to be no affection between Qi'er and Miss Sima, and it can even be said that there are some minor contradictions. How could he come to beg the Queen Mother to persuade me to take back my fate? ”

The Queen Mother said: "Your Majesty, you only know one and don't know the other!" Qi'er told me that at the beginning, she didn't have a good impression of the original princess, and her character was not in order, so she withdrew from the marriage. However, after a few contacts, I found that this woman was not as unbearable as rumored. He himself didn't even know that he had a little liking for her, but the emperor had already decreed the revocation of their marriage contract, and he had no choice but to ask to come to the mourning family! ”

"Is there such a thing?" Emperor Yanzhen was surprised, looked at Sima Hongyan in confusion, and said in his heart, You haven't told me these things.

As soon as Sima Hongyan saw Emperor Yanzhen's expression, he knew that he would be wrong, and he was so anxious that he almost jumped up.

At this time, the Queen Mother said: "What's more? Ze'er told me that Qi'er had secretly met with her a few times in private, but due to the emperor's will, this Sima girl didn't seem to dare to agree to Qi'er! ”

Sima Hongyan was even more angry, and said in his heart: "Damn! How can there be such a thing as Yan Ze's bastard here? ”

Emperor Yanzhen was taken aback and asked, "Ze'er? ”

The Queen Mother said: "He and Qi'er have always been close, so naturally they want to help the imperial brother." ”

Emperor Yanzhen was really unexpected, and asked Sima Hongyan: "What the Queen Mother said is the truth?" ”

Sima Hongyan hurriedly said: "Go back to the emperor!" Never! ”

Hearing Sima Hongyan's words, the Queen Mother was unhappy and said, "Why are you such a woman who doesn't know what to do?" With your unbearable reputation, it is rare that Qi'er is still interested in you and does not care about your immoral behavior. Although I can't marry you as a princess anymore, taking you as a concubine is also your creation. If you don't know how to be grateful, how dare you refuse? ”

actually wanted to take herself as a concubine, what Yan Qi did made Sima Hongyan unbearable. didn't care that the person in front of him was the Queen Mother, and asked: "Queen Mother, you only listened to Yan Qi's one-sided words, but have you asked me what I think?" ”

The Queen Mother said with extreme contempt: "What do you think? Does your idea matter? ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Queen Mother! If I don't want to, you can't force me to give me to Yan Qi, right? In the past, when there was a marriage contract, I had nothing to say, after all, it was my parents who were married, and I couldn't be disobedient. But now the emperor has decreed the cancellation of the marriage contract, the so-called Chrysostom, and the eldest prince begs you to force the emperor to go back on his word. In the eyes of the courtiers, this kind of behavior of trapping the emperor and distrusting the world is really unfilial! ”

The Queen Mother said angrily: "Bold! You dare to judge the royal family, who gave you the guts? ”

Emperor Yanzhen hurriedly persuaded: "The Queen Mother is angry! He said to Sima Hongyan again: "Sima Hongyan, it is presumptuous to dare to talk to the Queen Mother like this!" ”

Sima Hongyan was not afraid at all, and said: "Queen Mother, Emperor! Isn't there any truth to what I'm saying? Wouldn't the people of the world think like this? The prince's marriage contract is like child's play, for the sake of one person's selfishness, it changes back and forth, do you think the behavior of the prince is filial piety? ”

The Queen Mother was speechless, her face full of anger, but she couldn't refute it.

Sima Hongyan continued: "Your Majesty, since you issued the decree to withdraw the marriage, Prince Yanqi did not know how to avoid suspicion, and harassed me three times and twice. In order to lure me into marrying him, she even said that she would regret marrying the Liao family again, and this kind of behavior was considered unrighteous by the courtiers! ”

The Queen Mother and Emperor Yanzhen glanced at each other, but they didn't expect Yan Qi to say such a thing.

Sima Hongyan said: "Such an unfilial and unrighteous person, even if my Sima Hongyan has a bad reputation, I don't bother to marry him." ”

Daring to scold the prince for being unfilial and unjust, the Queen Mother was furious and shouted: "What nonsense! The dignified prince of Yanling, how could he say such a thing? It must be your nonsense and deliberate planting. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "If the queen mother doesn't believe it, you can call the eldest prince and the second prince, and you will know as soon as you ask!" ”

The Queen Mother was so angry that she wanted to call someone to announce the two princes. Emperor Yanzhen pulled the empress dowager's arm and said, "The empress dowager is calm and don't be impatient." This matter is about the prestige of the royal family, and the Queen Mother still thinks twice. ”

In fact, Emperor Yanzhen naturally knew his son, and Sima Hongyan swore by it, and he had long understood in his heart that this matter was not Sima Hongyan's nonsense. If he really called his two sons to testify and prove that the matter was true, where would the queen mother and her face go.

But when the Queen Mother was angry, how could she think of this, and when she saw the emperor stopping her, she was even more angry and said, "What does the emperor mean by this?" Can't you still believe this slut? Sima Hongyan instantly turned into a slut in her mouth.

Emperor Yanzhen said: "I definitely didn't mean that! Whatever they had said before, I didn't care. But if I were to change my will and do what I would do that would go back on your word and break my promise, I wouldn't do it! ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother's anger was still not gone, Emperor Yanzhen said again: "The Queen Mother! General Liao Da is the general of our town, and he bears the heavy responsibility of guarding the country. His eldest daughter has been married to Qi'er as the princess, if the words of regret and marriage reach the ears of General Liao, whether Qi'er says it or not, I am afraid it will cause unease among the ministers, which is not good for my Yanling. I think Qi'er is actually just a momentary willfulness, I go back and persuade him well, I think he wants to take Sima Hongyan as a concubine, so let's stop it! ”
