A gentle drizzle falls inadvertently.

This made Sima Liang, who was originally sitting in the courtyard, move to the east wing.

Looking at the rain scene, he gradually became distracted.

Then, Sima Liang moved a chair and sat at the door.

In this situation, he reached out to catch the rain.

"It's raining, and it's more than half past autumn." Sima Liang was a little confused.

Footsteps could be heard in the house.

"Xianggong, the autumn wind is like a tiger, don't get sick anymore."

With the sound of admonition, Mu Yu came to Sima Liang's side.

Before he could respond, a lady's cloak was placed on him.

Immediately afterwards, a small white and slender hand pulled Sima Liang's hand back.

"Xianggong, what a big man. Also likes to catch rainwater. ”

Mu Yu glanced at Sima Liang.

Then tie him with a cloak and a belt.

After doing this, Mu Yu took two steps back and looked at Sima Liang.

Immediately, a silver bell-like laugh came.

"Xianggong, wearing a cloak of a concubine, looks quite like a beauty."

Sima Liang pulled his cloak, and then smiled warmly.

Then, he turned to look at Mu Yu and made an orchid finger.

"Wouldn't that be nice, so we could be sisters."

Sima Liang's yin and yang weird voice was very ridiculous.

This made Mu Yuxiao's voice gradually presumptuous.

"I really should let Sister Bao'er watch this scene."

"Bo'er? She should be trying on a wedding dress. You won't let me see it, or you can sneak a look at it and tell me. ”

Sima Liang pointed to the main house.

Mu Yu's gaze followed what he pointed and also looked at the main house.

At the same time, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

However, only for a moment.

Mu Yu's mood changed so quickly that even Sima Liang didn't notice it.

"It is a bad sign for the couple to see each other before marriage, wearing wedding dresses or wedding dresses."

"Besides, the wedding is coming, and in a few days, the husband will be able to see it, so why rush for a while."

Regarding Mu Yu's previous sentence, Sima Liang didn't believe it at all. But the other party's latter sentence does have some truth.

Therefore, he is not in a hurry for this moment.

Suddenly, Sima Liang noticed Mu Yu's body, trembling slightly.

Look at the other party's thin clothes, he is a little distressed.

"When it's cold, go back to the house. You don't have to go out of your way to accompany me. ”

"Isn't this afraid of being lonely?"

As he spoke, Mu Yu got into Sima Liang's arms and rubbed his chest with his head.

"It won't be cold that way."

"Little Clever Ghost."

Sima Liang tapped Mu Yu's nose. Then he hugged the other party's thin body a little tighter.

After that, he just hugged Mu Yu and looked at the rain scene.

As the other side said, there are many fewer people accompanying Sima Liang's cranky thoughts.

"Before, there were few people in the palace who served me. When it rains, I'm basically alone. At that time, there was nothing to play but to watch the rain. ”

"Now, it's good to have you with me."

Sima Liang smiled contentedly. Then he heard a soft snoring.

Looking for the sound, Mu Yu, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, was still smashing his mouth.

"Asleep?"

Sima Liang looked at Mu Yu, who was curled up in his arms like a little rabbit, and was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that the other party could fall asleep so quickly in this position.

"Maybe I tossed too long last night."

Thinking of last night's absurdity, Sima Liang was a little embarrassed.

Although he was a little tired of holding Mu Yu like this, he didn't want to wake up the other party.

In this way, Sima Liang observed the other party and slept.

So well-behaved, so thin, so small.

On weekdays, Sima Liang didn't notice it.

But now, take a closer look. He found that Mu Yu's figure was thinner than Bao'er.

"I guess I didn't listen to persuasion, and I didn't eat well."

Sima Liang thought of the reason.

He ordered many times, so that Mu Yu didn't have to deliberately control his body.

When Sima Liang could see it, the other party did so.

But when he was not there, it is estimated that Mu Yu is still the same as before.

"Are you afraid that I like the new and hate the old? It seems that Mu Yu is very insecure. ”

Sima Liang guessed the reason, but he didn't have a good solution. After all, trust is not something that can be built in a short period of time.

He looked at the rain again, thinking that no matter how busy he was in the future, he would have to squeeze out more time in the back house.

After all, no matter how big the backyard is, it is also a cage.

If Sima Liang often doesn't go back, the loneliness of the people in the courtyard can be imagined.

He can't change it, and he won't change it, the ideas of people in this era.

The only thing Sima Liang can do is to make his small home more warm and warmer.

This is the concern and obsession of his two lives.

A cool breeze blew, accompanied by raindrops drifting onto Mu Yu's face.

The other party frowned, and subconsciously leaned into Sima Liang's arms.

"It's a little cold outside, let's take her to bed and sleep."

Sima Liang got up very gently, afraid of waking up Mu Yu, who was sleeping soundly.

But together, he almost didn't stand firm.

After all, holding each other for a long time, under heavy pressure, the legs will inevitably be uncontrollable.

However, fortunately, Sima Liang quickly adjusted.

He slowly entered the back room, and then gently put Mu Yu on the bed.

"Awake? Oh, it's good that I didn't wake up. Sima Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

Just Mu Yu, leaving his embrace, suddenly said a dream word.

Sima Liang didn't understand what the other party said, but he was startled by this sudden voice.

After calming down, he covered Mu Yu with a quilt.

After appreciating it a little, Mu Yu's sleeping appearance. Sima Liang got up and returned to the door.

After sitting down, he looked at the main house, which was still non-moving.

"It's been so long, hasn't Bao'er tried on the wedding dress?"

Bang bang bang.

With the sound of treading water, the old butler entered the courtyard with an umbrella.

"Your Highness, someone has come to the palace."

"Got it."

Sima Liang nodded, and then closed the door of the east wing.

Then, he followed the old housekeeper out of the small courtyard.

After twisting and turning, Sima Liang was taken to the hall in the main courtyard.

As soon as he came out of the back hall, he saw a young eunuch with his back on his back.

That little eunuch last time? Sima Liang guessed.

Sure enough, the other party heard footsteps and turned his head. Then he revealed a familiar face of Sima Liang.

This person is the little eunuch who reads the holy decree on the day of putting salt.

"Your Highness, congratulations."

The other party bowed, and Sima Liang also politely returned the salute.

"I'm tired of my father-in-law."

"How can you say that it is tiring, how can a slave work hard for His Majesty."

Although the little eunuch is young, his words and deeds are very sophisticated.

Since it was not a formal decree, Sima Liang did not have to kneel down to make a big salute.

He invited the little eunuch to sit down.

"Although it was the second time we met, I didn't know my father-in-law's name. And in the palace in the past, it seems that I have never seen my father-in-law. I don't know which father-in-law you worked under before. ”

In fact, the last time, Sima Liang wanted to get to know this little eunuch, but he didn't have the opportunity at that time.

This time, the other party can also send an edict, and I want to get a lot of trust from the emperor or Zhao Gonggong.

For the new messenger, Sima Liang naturally will not let go of the opportunity.

He took the initiative to pour a cup of tea and handed it to the other party.

"Your Highness is gracious. Such a courtesy, the slave was a little frightened. ”

The little eunuch held the teacup in both hands.

"The minion's surname is Lin, you can call me Xiaolinzi. Previously, he had been working under Zhao Gonggong. However, it is a trivial matter of serving tea and water, and it is normal for His Highness not to remember. ”

Sima Liang thought about it for a while, and it seemed that there was indeed a little eunuch who had been following Zhao's father-in-law. But he couldn't confirm it.

However, he did not say what he thought. After all, it is still necessary to pretend on the surface.

"It turned out to be Grandpa Lin. The father-in-law is young, and he has repeatedly taken over the big responsibilities, and he has been appreciated by the father-in-law of Zhao and trusted by his father. Now, the future is promising. ”

Sima Liang's compliment made Xiao Linzi a little frightened.

He hurriedly excused himself.

"Your Highness, that's so polite. The slave is just a domestic slave, and His Royal Highness is raising love. What a big task, the future. The minion didn't dare to think about it. As long as they can do what they are told, the slave will be satisfied. ”

Father-in-law Lin is right to think so. But there is no need to belittle yourself like this. After all, the people who can run errands for His Majesty can be counted on their fingers. My father-in-law is already very powerful. ”

This compliment, Xiao Linzi did not shirk as before. Rather, after thinking about it, I accepted it.

"There is indeed some truth in what Your Highness said. Belittles the slave himself, but secondly, it is not good to let others think that Zhao Gonggong or His Majesty does not know people. ”

Sima Liang saw that the other party was on the road, and he was ready to take advantage of the victory to pursue and say a few more good words.

But Xiao Linzi didn't give him this opportunity.

The other party took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Sima Liang.

"Your Highness, this is Your Majesty's edict to you. Take a look, if you have any doubts, you can put forward your opinions. The slave will convey it to His Majesty. ”

"I'm tired of Father-in-law Lin."

Sima Liang took the letter, looked at the envelope, and then opened it.

Because this is the content that will be announced, and it is only a draft, it is not encrypted.

Pulling out the letterhead, Sima Liang looked at the entries on it.

While watching, he also showed an exaggerated expression. Is there still an exclamation.

The small forest on the side is not surprised. Just calmly watching.

"I'm so frightened that my father should give me such a reward. I was so touched by that. ”

Sima Liang hid his face excitedly, as if he was crying.

"Long En is mighty, His Royal Highness is a prince, and it is normal to get more favoritism. Your Highness doesn't need to get too excited. ”

Xiao Linzi's persuasion is very effective. Sima Liang wiped the corners of his eyes and recovered some.

"What my father-in-law said is that in the future, I will have to share more troubles for my father in order to be worthy of such love."

"Your Highness has a heart, Your Majesty will be very pleased. I've also read the content, can Your Highness have any doubts or dissatisfaction with any of them? ”

"Doubts? Dissatisfied? How could it be, I didn't have time to be happy. ”

Sima Liang looked happy, as if he was convinced of the content of the letter.

"That's good, then the minion will reply truthfully. If this edict is proposed, His Highness can dispose of it himself. Even if it is announced in advance, it doesn't matter. ”

"By the way, it is more convenient for Your Highness to come down recently, and the official will may take up some of your time."

"October 20th. On that day, the palace opened, and it was also my marriage. Coupled with the reward of the father, let's have a triple happy event. Sima Liang replied after a little thought

"Your Highness opens a mansion and marries? What a great joy it is. The minion came empty-handed, which was really abrupt. ”

Xiao Linzi showed an annoyed expression.

"Gonggong Lin brought the edict, which is the best gift. Why bother sending anything foreign. If you are the one who sends the holy decree, I must keep you for half a day and fulfill the friendship of the landlord. Sima Liang comforted.

"Your Highness is really good at talking, then I'll see you in six days."

Sima Liang heard the meaning of the other party's words.

He beckoned the old butler to come over, and then spoke something in his ear.

Then, Sima Liang looked at Xiao Linzi again.

"Father-in-law, are you going to go back directly?"

"Yes."

"My father-in-law is really hard, traveling thousands of miles. I haven't sat down for a while, and I'm going back again, which is really hard. ”

"Your Highness, let's bring it up again. This is the emperor's grace, and he will not be tired of anything. ”

……

After a while, the old butler came over with a stack of silver tickets.

Sima Liang took the silver ticket and pushed it down in front of Xiao Linzi.

"It's a small meaning, it's like water money on the public highway."

"This, this, too much. Not so good. ”

Xiao Linzi pretended to resist, but his eyes kept looking at the thickness and denomination of the silver ticket.

"What's more, my father-in-law is working so hard, drink more water, what's wrong?"

Sima Liang saw that the other party had an idea and began to pave the steps.

"This ...... Well, His Highness is so kind, and the slave refuses to shirk it, it really can't be justified. The slave accepted the money. ”

Xiao Linzi very skillfully folded the silver ticket, and then put it in his pocket.

Bribery is always effective, and the other party who accepts the money is much kinder.

"Your Highness, you are really kind-hearted and approachable. If you come back in the future, or pass by the place under His Highness, you will definitely come to visit again. I hope that when the time comes, His Highness will not dislike the minions and bother. ”

"Why, my father-in-law is here, I will take good care of it."

……

The two politely exchanged words for a long time, and Xiao Linzi reluctantly left.

Sima Liang also sent the other party to the door.

When he returned to the main hall, he took out the edict and looked at it again.

"The content is almost the same as in the secret letter, it is this proposed edict. It's kind of interesting. ”

"I don't know if it's my father's extra intention, or if I'm thinking too much."

Sima Liang stared at the last line of the letter.

Proposed edict: Yang Zhong.
