Walking through the courtyard gate, Sima Liang came to the middle courtyard.

Looking at the study with the fire lit up, he wondered.

"Is there a pile of gifts in there, too? But I didn't see anyone walking in. ”

After a few days of setting up, this study room is ready for normal use.

This belongs to Sima Liang's private place.

He specifically instructed him. If he is not there, no one else is allowed to enter at will.

Although there was nothing in it, it was unsightly, but violating his own orders still made Sima Liang unhappy.

With a sense of accountability, he stepped onto the high platform.

Crunch.

The door was pushed open.

The main hall without lights is slightly dark.

There was a silent study, only some firelight shining from the other side of the table.

"No one?"

Sima Liang saw that no one responded when he pushed open the door, and he was a little puzzled.

With his thoughts in mind, he walked to the table.

Then, Sima Liang saw a person sitting motionless behind the desk with his back.

He took a brief look at the other party's clothes, but didn't see any clues.

"Hey, who are you and why are you in my study. Didn't the next person tell you that this is my private place, and you can't enter it at will? ”

Out of politeness, Sima Liang's voice of accountability was not loud.

Because he doesn't know the identity of the person who came, if it is an important person, it will not end well.

Didn't you hear? Or what's the situation?

Looking at the guy who didn't react and still sat back, Sima Liang's doubts deepened.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the other party had not reacted, he stepped forward directly and walked to the back of the case.

Subsequently, Sima Liang's expression changed rapidly, and finally showed joy.

Then, he gave a gentle nudge to the man in the chair.

"Sixth brother, why did you come early. I'm still sleeping here, and it's not like there's no place for you to sleep in the house. ”

This unreasonable person who broke into Sima Liang's study was Sima Xiu, the seventh prince.

"Don't make a fuss, you're sleepy."

The Seven Princes in the dream didn't seem to hear Sima Liang's words, but continued to close their eyes and fall asleep.

"Dead boy." Sima Liang sighed. Then in the other person's ear, he clapped his hands vigorously.

Then, the Seven Princes were frightened and fell off their chairs.

"Thunder?"

"No, it's not."

"Who disturbed my sleep."

"Huh."

"It's the sixth brother."

The Seventh Prince got up from the ground with a look of surprise on his face.

"You really don't pick a place, you can sleep so well while sitting." Sima Liang mocked angrily.

The Seventh Prince straightened up and smiled.

"Isn't it like you didn't sleep well on the boat? In order to have two more days, I secretly came early by boat. ”

When Sima Liang heard that the other party was using the same means as himself, he instantly smiled.

"You kid plays this too."

"That's not it. The people and horses of the land route announcement are slow. I guess I won't be there until the day after tomorrow, so I'll be there today by water. I can play for two or three more days. ”

Looking at this younger brother, who thought and behaved similarly to himself, Sima Liang's smile became more and more prosperous.

"And how did you avoid the people who traveled with you?"

"There's a fifth brother to help me."

"Fifth brother?"

Sima Liang smiled playfully.

"Sixth brother, what's wrong?"

"It's fine."

Sima Liang thought that when he came to Yancheng, the fifth prince almost revealed his bottom. And this time when he came to Yancheng, the other party actually helped the Seven Princes to cover up.

Maybe it's just a family. He chuckled.

Next, Sima Liang and the Seven Princes chatted about some parents and some changes in the capital.

Due to the reunion after a long absence, they chatted very speculatively.

So much so that after a long time, Xiao Shunzi knocked on the door and shouted, but neither of them heard it.

When Sima Liang heard it, he looked out the window and found that it was already dark.

"It's so fast, it's already night. Presumably Xiao Shunzi asked us to eat. ”

"Let's go. Use the meal first, and then choose the yard where you rest. Come to my house, and don't entertain you. ”

Sima Liang hugged each other affectionately, and then walked out of the study.

As soon as they went out, the two began to shout.

"The rain has stopped?"

"The stars are so bright after the rain."

……

At the same time, another prince surnamed Sima looked at the same sky.

"Seventh brother, you should go to Yancheng. He's heartless, carefree. ”

Speaking of these five princes, he smiled helplessly.

But he didn't laugh long.

"The sixth brother is beautiful this time, opening a house, marrying, plus rewards, and so many people are touting. The downturn over the years can be said to have been swept away. ”

"It's really enviable." The Five Princes sighed.

Suddenly, without warning, he clenched his fists and slammed into the makeshift table.

Click.

Bang dang.

Flimsy small table with broken corners.

All the dishes on the table fell to the ground.

"Why, the same thing. He will be able to get so much, and I will be demoted to Yanbei. ”

"It doesn't matter if my father prefers the second brother and the crown prince, why can the sixth brother get more than me."

"Obviously I'm the hardest working one, but I have nothing, and I've come so far."

"If I can have the position of the crown prince, I will definitely do better. If I can be as favored as my second brother, I will definitely be stronger. If I can have the support of the sixth child, why am I so tired, why should I take risks and do so much. If only I could ......"

At the end of the words, the five princes were blank and collapsed on the chair. His weak hands hung down at his sides, as if his body had been drained.

His terrifying appearance made the accompanying subordinates dare not approach at all.

After some selection, the cook was pushed out.

He mustered his courage and walked to the side of the five princes.

"Your Highness, what's wrong. Is it an unappetizing dish? ”

The fifth prince glanced at each other, and then at the people who were afraid of him on the side.

Then, he showed a smiling smile.

"It's okay, I can't eat. You can do as usual, and leave me alone. And don't bother Lao Qi, if he's hungry, I'll tell you to do it. ”

After saying these words, the fifth prince continued to collapse in his chair.

Looking at the bright starry sky overhead, he closed his eyes.

Yang Yu, who was not far away, looked at the changes in the five princes and sighed a little.

"The fifth prince is also a capable person, but it's a pity that the biological mother and a few brothers have too much advantage. If it is in another dynasty, there may be a few chances. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Yu also began to sigh.

"As soon as the war in the northwest starts, won't the military exploits of these two princes come? Although it is now a court of literati, the royal family still holds power by force. The nine towns in the northwest are the elite of the royal lineage, and the second prince is really among them, establishing prestige. This storage seat is already half of it. ”

"If the second prince rises alone, the crown prince can still compete. But these six princes are mixed into the court, and the princes' faction is about to fight with Li Dang. Under the elimination of one and the other, the rise of the second prince cannot be curbed at all. ”

Yang Yu drank a glass of water and sighed again.

"I don't know how my father and His Majesty discussed, but they were able to give the six princes Pingnan and the two towns the right to train soldiers. Aren't you afraid, he divides one side? ”

"And my father asked me and the prince to be careful of the Rong family. Why is that? Didn't the Rong family let the crown prince come into contact with him? ”

"The royal matter is too complicated."

Yang Yu put down the cup in his hand and looked in the direction of Yancheng.

"I really don't want to go back. Taking a princess wife feels like offering a bodhisattva. Having sex is like a routine. It's better to sleep with a concubine. ”

"The most important thing is that a woman's family is smarter than her father-in-law. There are some things, I ask her to answer, although it can solve the problem, but the feeling of being pressed on the head, really, alas. ”

Yang Yu pressed the bridge of his nose, looking uncomfortable.
