The national law of Yanling is different from other places, and those who can become ministers of the state are treated extremely generously by the imperial court. Not only does he have a high amount of money every month, but he also buys a house for you, and he will also reward some yellow and white things from time to time. In the hearts of every Yanling people, it is their responsibility to be able to enter the court and become an official all their lives.

But don't think that if you become an official, you can enjoy glory and wealth and do whatever you want. The imperial court is still very strict in the management of officials, and the most severe is the "Ten Laws for Officials". Generally speaking, it means that you can't break the law, you can't do nothing, you can't do a good job, and you can't make a mess. In short, do you want to enjoy the high treatment given to you by the state? Then come to work diligently.

Although the state does not strictly prohibit women from being officials, basically the women of all official families are good and virtuous people who do not go out of the door. Their pursuit is to be able to be a man's virtuous helper. In particular, he is proud to be able to marry into the royal family and become a relative of the royal family.

Since he has his own goals, none of the princes and ministers in today's princes and ministers have made sufficient preparations in advance, and they only hope to take this opportunity to make a splash.

And these are things that Sima Hongyan is not interested in at all. Now she has no worries about food and clothing with her father's title, and as long as she doesn't die, the country will support her.

Of course, the law of the country stipulates that only her generation will be raised, because the emperor's family is not a fool, and if the younger generations no longer have people who serve the country, the country does not need to spend state money to support a group of useless people.

After the eldest prince asked him to appear on the martial arts, young people immediately came to the stage to show. or demonstrate martial arts, or display piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and some people have written a few articles on governing the country and read them. Anyway, he used all his housekeeping skills to win the emperor's approval.

Sima Hongyan watched a few games, but it was just that Wenchen's child was good at writing, and the military general's child was good at martial arts. You come and go, leaving no stone unturned.

There are a few women who come on stage to either play a song, sing or dance, or write a poem, or do an essay, and the most unfortunate one goes up to talk about the three obedience and four virtues. Anyway, coming and going is just to show how virtuous and prosperous he is.

Of course, there are also those who perform well, among them, one of the men named Guo Zidi is extremely outstanding in martial arts, and the other is Fan Liangyi, whose articles are deeply popular. Among the women, a girl named Ban Lingruo has the same book with her hands, which is very powerful, and a girl named Shi Jinyan can play more than ten kinds of musical instruments, which is amazing.

After watching more, he will feel the same, Sima Hongyan's interest has decreased greatly, and he secretly thinks that this boring banquet will not know when it will end. is doing nothing, looking left and right.

At this time, a person walked in front of her, Sima Hongyan looked up, but she didn't expect it to be Yan Qi, the eldest prince who had broken off the marriage contract with her.

The eldest prince sat down opposite her, and said in a very soft voice: "Long time no see, how are you lately?" ”

Sima Hongyan glanced at him with slanted eyes, and asked in a strange manner, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

The eldest prince smiled gracefully and said, "Can't you come and say a few words to you if you're fine?" Today you have done an outstanding job and won the favor of my father, and I am very happy for you. ”

Sima Hong's face was expressionless, and he coped: "Thank you, thank you." The eldest prince is so busy, don't waste time with me, go get busy. ”

The eldest prince still had that indifferent expression and asked, "What?" You just don't want to talk to me? ”

Sima Hongyan suddenly felt that this person was so thick-skinned, she regretted her marriage at the beginning, which made her lose face, and now she is chatting with herself lightly, which is really a bit shameless.

Too lazy to go around in circles with him, Sima Hongyan asked bluntly: "Your Highness, you can say whatever you want!" ”

Today's Sima Hongyan is really different from the reserved and shy Sima Hongyan he knew before. Even the words are so straightforward. The eldest prince was a little unable to go up and down.

After hesitating, the eldest prince said: "Actually, it wasn't my intention to withdraw the marriage contract at the beginning......

Before he finished speaking, Sima Hongyan raised his hand to stop him and interrupted him: "If Your Highness wants to explain this to me, then there is no need to say it again!" To be honest, I don't regret it, and I think it's good to cancel our marriage contract, so Your Highness, you don't have to blame yourself for anything. On the contrary, we should all be happy. ”

The eldest prince wondered and asked, "Happy?" Rejoice what? ”

"Still don't understand?" Sima Hongyan said: "Anyway, I don't know you, you don't know me, and two people who don't know each other can't get married." This arranged marriage kills people, it just so happens that we are all free after the withdrawal, you can go to the girl you like, shouldn't you be happy? ”

The eldest prince was stunned by her words, and began to think that she was talking angrily, but looking at her completely inappropriate expression and calm appearance, it was not like it at all.

The eldest prince stared at Sima Hongyan for a while before he continued: "I mean, if you want, I can ask my father to marry you to me." ”

Sima Hongyan's eyes widened, and he waved his hands and said urgently: "Don't don't, don't, you don't!" I'd love for you to find someone else. I didn't want to marry you, and I don't want to marry you! ”

The eldest prince Huo Ran got up and said a little angrily: "Hongyan, you weren't like this before!" You didn't marry me at the beginning! ”

Sima Hongyan was so shocked that he stood up and said, "Your Highness, you remember, the original matter doesn't count, just what I said today, okay?" From today onwards, you are you and I am me. If you continue to marry your Miss Liao, don't worry about me anymore. ”

Listening to Sima Hongyan's words, the eldest prince's face softened a little, and he said, "So you are angry because I want to marry Liao Yunhan?" As long as you say that you are willing, I will go and ask my father to withdraw from the Liao family. Originally, you and I were married husband and wife, but today you have won the favor of your father, and if I go to beg my father again, he will definitely give us permission regardless of his previous suspicions. ”

The more he talked, the more confused he became, Sima Hongyan was really anxious about this self-righteous prince.

Her face changed, she was as cold as frost, and said to him without saving face: "Your Highness, you take yourself too seriously. You didn't understand what I said for a long time? I'll say it again, I don't have a half-dime relationship with you, marry whoever you like, don't pester me again, you know? ”

Such an unceremonious refusal made the eldest prince furious, and he waved his hand to fight.

Who knows, Sima Hongyan was not afraid, he faced it awe-inspiringly, staring at him coldly with his eyes, not dodging or dodging.

The eldest prince's outstretched hand in the air couldn't be beaten, and he flicked his long sleeves, snorted, and left angrily.

The surrounding people were once again stunned and silent! Who is this Sima Hongyan, how can anyone dare to offend?

The eldest prince returned to the main stage angrily, and Emperor Yanzhen didn't seem to see anything, still watching the performance on stage. The second prince, Yan Ze, quietly ran to the eldest prince's side and said softly, "Brother Huang, what's wrong?" Why is it so hot with that little girl's hair? ”

The eldest prince had nowhere to vent his anger, and said angrily: "This person simply doesn't know how to lift!" ”

The second prince thought for a while, guessed a few points, and said with a smile: "Could it be that the imperial brother can't forget her affection?" ”

The eldest prince was silent, although he was angry, he was really still thinking about Sima Hongyan in his heart. Especially today, she can be clever and eloquent, intelligent and clever, and even her father is very appreciative, and she can't help but regret revoking her marriage contract. Thinking back to the awe-inspiring and fearless spirit when I talked to myself just now, I couldn't help but be stupid.

Seeing that the imperial brother was a little confused, the second prince smiled secretly in his heart. However, this Sima Hongyan actually made the eldest prince so abnormal, but he had some skills, and the second prince couldn't help but wonder secretly in his heart.

Sima Hongyan and the eldest prince had such a scene, and Liao Yunhan saw it clearly, and even the dejected appearance of the eldest prince after he went back was also seen by her. couldn't help but be jealous, and the silver teeth were bitten.

Although the Nine Emperor Princes did not leave the main stage, Sima Hongyan's every move never left his sight, until the eldest prince was angry and left, the Nine Emperor Princes sighed and thought thoughtfully!

A big party finally ends in a series of vignettes.

Although there were many outstanding young talents, everyone only remembered one person's name: Sima Hongyan.
