Ban Ling seems to understand whether he understands or not, but if he can understand people who have experienced death, his thinking will change greatly. After all, her father is a soldier, has participated in wars, and has experienced countless brushes with death, and his emphasis on life is indeed different from ordinary people.

Ban Lingruo was silent, and Sima Hongyan continued: "The desire to marry the royal family is that I used to entrust my fate to others. What can I get back? So now I'm changing, I'm going to take my destiny into my own hands, I'm going to make myself strong. I won't let anyone decide my life or death anymore! I'm talking about this, do you understand? ”

Ban Lingruo looked at Sima Hongyan, who was determined to be self-conscious, and suddenly found that this was what attracted her and admired her. Sima Hongyan is no longer an accessory to men, she wants to be her own master.

This sister did things unexpectedly, not because she had a weird personality, but because she clearly knew what she wanted, and with her, she seemed to see a new world.

Looking at Ban Lingruo with a serious face, Sima Hongyan smiled and said, "Actually, little sister, you don't have to think too much about my affairs, when you see through it one day, you will naturally understand!" Ordering the divorce gave me freedom, and without the restraints, I could do what I wanted to do freely. ”

Ban Lingruo said: "Then do you know who was the person who created the rumors to frame you in the first place?" ”

Sima Hongyan said indifferently: "Does it matter who it is?" Although this man's purpose was not good for me, I got great benefit from it. Rumor-mongering has always been a common method in the royal harem, and whoever can benefit from it is naturally the person who attacked me in the first place, I don't have to bother to investigate at all, and I will naturally know after a while. ”

"That's just as well!" Ban Lingruo nodded and said, "You are blessed by misfortune, and it makes sense not to care." But ...... emperor? ”

Sima Hongyan said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, he also understands!" ”

Ban Lingruo was confused again, and he didn't know why.

Sima Hongyan explained: "He knows my mind through three things. The first thing is the 'Jiangshan Yonggu' I gave him at the Chongyang banquet. The second thing is that I went to participate in the martial arts event and won three championships in a row. The third and most important thing is my advice to him about the women's army. ”

Ban Lingruo thought about it for a long time, but still didn't understand.

Sima Hongyan had to say in detail: "Everyone knows that the country is actually ginger, and I use the most ordinary thing to combine it with the rivers and mountains of Yanling, which shows that the ideal in my heart is no longer to marry into the emperor's family." ”

Speaking a little dry, Sima Hongyan took a sip of tea and continued: "In the past, I was the most well-behaved person in Qinghan's words. And he rarely shows his face on weekdays, and he is weak. But after the divorce, I participated in the martial arts event and won three championships in a row, which shows that I am no longer confined to the deep boudoir and want to be a useful person.

Finally, there is the matter of the women's army that I proposed to General Liao, so that I want to tell everyone that women are by no means soft, women can do big things, and women can do things that men can't. ”

Ban Lingruo admired it very much after hearing this, and praised: "It turns out that my sister has her own ideas for everything she does, no wonder she is very different from others and never clichés." ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Don't praise me, in fact, what I mean is very simple, that is, to tell those who want to beat me up that I am not easy to mess with." I don't provoke others, and it's better that others don't provoke me. I still learned this from Yan Hong. ”

Ban Lingruo said: "It's no wonder that the emperor wants to entrust you with a heavy responsibility, you are no longer the weak Sima Hongyan you used to be." ”

"Oops!" Sima Hongyan sighed: "I originally thought that the emperor would not let me do the matter of forming a women's team at all. Unexpectedly, he insisted on letting me do it. ”

"You really don't want to do this errand?" Ban Lingruo was also a little puzzled.

"It's a lie to say you don't want to do it." Sima Hongyan said: "But I am the most inappropriate candidate, in addition to the reason I said to the emperor today, if I am asked to take the responsibility, in fact, there is still the most trouble." However, the emperor's cunning and cunning were beyond my expectations. ”

Ban Lingruo asked, "Why?" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "If he does this, he may push me to the forefront again!" It's so impressive that my every move is very restricted. Even if I were to be held fully responsible, it would be under the watchful eye of the public. ”

Ban Lingruo smiled: "Yes! The original ordinary Miss Sima family is now shining, maybe tomorrow you will become a strange person in Yanling, sister! ”

Maybe what Sima Hongyan and Ban Lingruo didn't expect was that after returning from the palace that day, in less than two days, Sima Hongyan had already shocked Yanling again!

For Sima Hongyan to be favored by the emperor alone, various legends quickly began to circulate among the people. The most said thing is: The emperor took a fancy to Sima Hongyan and wanted to take her as a concubine. Even when he repented of his marriage to the eldest prince, it was so that he could hold a beauty! But this is also generally considered to be the most unlikely statement, the emperor and his son snatched his wife, this kind of upside-down thing, the emperor would never do it.

Others say that Sima Hongyan may be the illegitimate daughter of the emperor, and she was fostered to Sima Yongcheng's house at the beginning, so she will treat her differently today. However, this statement is too unbelievable, and few people believe it.

In short, the rumors have given full play to the people's open minds and the fine tradition of nonsense. Enrich and render your own whimsical ideas, and everyone will follow the clouds. In fact, in the hearts of the people, there is no purpose to hurt anyone, just to add some ridiculing topics to the boring time after tea and dinner.

Who made you stand out in the limelight, and why did you stand out and not others? There must be a reason for this, I don't know what the reason is so I can't guess? This has been the driving force behind rumors for thousands of years: curiosity!

Are the rumors scary? Most people are still afraid, otherwise Sima Hongyan would not have committed suicide by taking poison for the sake of fame. Is it really scary enough to kill people? It depends on the psychological capacity of the parties. Like Sima Hongyan, who doesn't take her reputation seriously at all now, she likes to say whatever she likes to say outside, and she also claims to have increased her popularity.

can't bear to seek death and life, which makes others think that this is a lack of heart and no face to see people. Anyway, no matter what you do, rumors can give you the right reason.

The center of this rumor is Sima Hongyan again, and Sima Hongyan is indifferent to becoming the center of people's discussion again. As if this matter had nothing to do with herself, some rumors even reached her ears, and she also commented with a smile, saying that the rumor-mongers were so unqualified!

The more Sima Hongyan took it seriously, the stronger the sense of mystery became, and it fully hung up the appetite of the common people. Guess and guess, the common people are confused!

For the overwhelming rumors, Qinghan was so angry that she cried, she wondered why Miss was so miserable? Last time, the young lady drank poison. It's only been a long time, and it's been another time, even worse than the last time. In case the young lady can't think about it anymore and looks for a short time, she may not be able to live again.

Who knew that Qinghan's worries were completely superfluous, her young lady should eat and drink, and she was still happy and comfortable! After returning from the palace, every day is to eat, chat, practice martial arts, yoga, and sleep with Ban Lingruo, as regular as you want, and there is nothing abnormal.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the day of the temple examination. The so-called palace test is not another competition. Instead, the emperor summoned hundreds of civil and military officials, conducted a comprehensive evaluation of each winner, and arranged official positions according to individual abilities and characteristics. In other words, it can also be said to be a form of asking the ministers of the DPRK and China to accept students in disguise.

When new talents come to the imperial court to serve as officials, there must be such a process. Each minister has the scope and responsibilities of his jurisdiction, and new officials must learn from these old ministers for a few years. Lao Chen does not mean that he is old, but that he has been in office for a long time and is already very familiar with his position. The ministers in the court have to bring newcomers to teach newcomers every year, which is also a law of Yanling officialdom for many years. Therefore, there has never been a situation where there has never been a shortage of positions in Yanling.

However, not every year the selected people can stay in the DPRK, and here it is also about survival of the fittest. If you are not suitable to be an official, you will be given some bereavement benefits, and you can continue to be a good citizen.
