Sima Lanting actually didn't know why he came back, maybe it was because the rain was too heavy, maybe it was because there was still a beauty here, although he couldn't get it, he could still stay with her for a while. Maybe I'm still as hot as before, and I won't be interested anymore when I look at it.

But in the end, he realized that he was wrong.

The rain didn't stop until the second half of the night, Sima Liangyi had already gone back with the sacrificial dance, and Chen Lianxin couldn't bear it early and went home. Sima Lanting was left alone to sit alone until the second half of the night, and finally sighed and got up to leave.

It was raining for a long time at night. Sima Lanting looked at the people who were still beside the carriage and said, "Early in the night, you don't have to enter the palace with me on a cloudy day, you go to find and pick up Qingqi and them first." ”

Qingye's eyes were stunned for a moment, and finally he still believed that Sima Lanting came out, and he said excitedly: "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Following.

Sima Lanting looked at the emperor in the high position, and his eyes fluctuated slightly.

"Son-in-law, see father." Sima Lanting didn't wait for me to speak, looking at this father, he only brought him endless resentment.

Sima Yucheng looked at his son, who had grown a lot taller in front of him, and didn't say anything.

The contradiction between the two was formed five years ago, and it can even be said that it was formed when Sima Lanting was born.

As soon as Sima Lanting was born, his biological mother was connected because of the mistakes made by the clansmen. Originally, she couldn't have been able to give birth to a little prince. But because of Sima Yucheng's ruthlessness, in order to leave a place for his favorite concubine at that time, he gave Sima Lanting's biological mother to death together. I didn't remember any friendship, and I forgot whose support made him where he is today.

"Since you learned about this five years ago, you automatically asked Ying to go to the south, and now that so much time has passed, have you still not forgiven Zheng?" Sima Yucheng broke the silence, and the words he said did not match the expressionlessness on his face.

Sima Lanting didn't speak, but the hand hidden in the cuff clenched into a fist.

"Tonight is a reception banquet for you, Zheng has heard about what you are doing in the south, and you have done a good job." When Sima Yucheng said this, he finally had a little approval on his face.

Since the matter was known to Sima Lanting five years ago, the way the two got along was even stranger than before.

Sima Lanting always thought that he had killed his biological mother, so he would not be liked by Sima Yucheng. Let Sima Yucheng snub himself all the time, who would have thought that he would be told such a thing by his adoptive mother, Concubine Hui.

"It's what a retainer should do." Sima Lanting lowered his eyes and replied.

Sima Yucheng looked at the son in front of him, and finally sighed, saying that he didn't regret what he had done before, but now he didn't know how to face it. I also thought about changing the current status quo, but I couldn't let go of my dignity as a father and emperor.

After all, it is still good for you to have an extra son on your side, and you don't have to worry about it every day.

"You step back first, if you want to go and see your mother's palace, you can go by yourself, Zheng allows you to come and go in the harem at will today, but also pay attention to a little measure." After Sima Yucheng finished speaking, he waved his hand and let people retreat.

After Sima Lanting retreated, he went directly to the inniss.

In the East Palace, the sacrificial dance was arranged in the courtyard on the left after returning from discussing with Sima Liang in the evening, and it was not called out until almost sunset.

The sacrificial dance looked at the prince in front of him, and saluted in a proper manner, although he was very reluctant, but he was still a person who could carry it.

Sima Liangyi poured a cup of tea for the sacrificial dance, beckoned her to come over and sit down opposite, without raising his head, and said: "The crown princess will enter the mansion in two months, and your time is only two months, and our plan for Sima Lanting has changed, so sacrifice is necessary, but whether you can keep it depends on your own creation." ”

"My creation?" The sacrificial dance sneered, and said nonchalantly: "This is the first time I have met His Highness, and His Highness has really chilled my heart by treating me like this." ”

Sima Liangyi looked up into her eyes and asked, "Our purpose is the same, and it's just that the process has changed, but the result has not changed." ”

The sacrificial dance didn't say much, just bowed his head and tea, looking very precious.

Looking at her, Sima Liangyi had a lot of thoughts, and finally said: "Then you prepare, tonight you will temporarily enter the palace with the main palace, the plan is postponed, you are ready, get familiar with it first." ”

After finishing speaking, he left first, leaving a sacrifice dance, and then a group of people came over and led the sacrifice ruthlessly to the Spring Snow Palace.

In the bustling palace, there are hundreds of palace maids who are busy packing up and preparing for this palace banquet, and the people of the Ministry of Rites and the queen are still discussing the accident that has just occurred.

Wu Cheng knelt in front of the queen and said with sincere fear: "Queen Mother, what should we do, we didn't think that such a thing would happen." ”

The queen looked at the broken cup and held her forehead, not knowing what to do. In the end, I could only helplessly think of a solution: "Forget it, when the emperor blames it, just find someone to make a scapego." ”

The cup is the only one, or the last time the Khitan people came to make peace with the emperor, the emperor has always liked it, and every banquet is used for this, but now it has been broken by the fourteenth princess.

The fourteenth princess is still young, only eight years old, she is where Concubine Ning is, and Concubine Ning is the cousin of the queen, they have a good relationship when they are not out of the cabinet, and they have been supporting each other in the palace.

Until last year, he was framed and sent to the cold palace, and he went crazy.

Now there is only this little princess left, and the queen herself has no daughter, and all of them are very good to the fourteenth princess, and they are treated like their own daughters, not to mention that now that her own sister has become like this, she doesn't want her daughter to suffer anymore. I can only think of a way to keep the fourteenth princess who has been unfavored.

Wu Cheng knew that the queen had always been kind-hearted, and there was definitely no way to get along with each other like this. You can only take the decree and find a scapegoat.

The queen looked at the fourteenth princess who was still shedding tears on the side, and felt a little distressed, but thinking that such a thing happened, she had to punish her, lest she not have a long memory and would commit it again.

Concubine Ning has been in the palace for a long time, and she has never had an heir, this child is what she has been looking forward to, and she has always spoiled her, and that one spoiled the child like this. Many things, the children who grew up in the palace were white at a young age, but the fourteenth princess still has a lot of things that are not clear at this age.

It's really worrying what to do if there is no one to protect her.

"Sima Hui!" The queen shouted to her in a louder voice.

Sima Hui's tears fell even more fiercely after hearing this, and he slowly walked to the queen's side, pulled her clothes and begged: "Queen Mother, I ...... I'm not ...... Meaning, please don't ...... Hit me. ”

In the past, once Sima Hui made a mistake, Concubine Ning punished her for not being allowed to go out to play, but she only came to Jiaofang Hall last month under the queen's struggle, and after arriving at the queen, she saw that many maids who made mistakes were beaten. mistakenly thought that the queen would also beat her. The queen has been busy with affairs this month, so she didn't take much care of her, and there were many worries every day, which always made her anxious, and she was also worried when she came back and waited for me.

Sima Hui was always frightened when he saw her face.

The queen looked at the poor child, her heart ached, but she still said ruthlessly: "You are not allowed to go to the palace banquet tonight, you are in your own house, and you can't go anywhere." ”

Sima Hui was stunned, listening to Xie Xinxin's idea of not beating himself, and then remembered that he couldn't go out to play, and he began to sob.

Then Xie Xinxin couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked someone to take her back first, and then strictly guard her.
