Love's handover of the embroidery to Lady Xu paid off on the third day, and when Lady Xu handed over a small bag of broken silver to Love, Love, who had been depressed for many days, finally smiled.

Such a little silver was not enough for Love to buy half a small box of rouge in the past, but for her in the current situation, this bit of broken silver made her see the way forward and see hope.

The weather gradually warmed up, and on the way back, the three masters and servants passed by the water pavilion, and Love saw a few snow-white swans falling on the water, and they were in a good mood today, so the three of them sat in the water pavilion and rested on the railing.

Lantian couldn't help but pour out the broken silver from his purse, counting it little by little, Yu Nuan was on the side, and there were stars shining in his eyes.

The three masters and servants were relaxing here, and suddenly heard a melodious sound of the piano, and the three of them followed the sound in unison, and saw that in the flowers not far away, the one called Rou Ji was stroking the piano.

And Sima Chao, who has never liked singing and dancing, was sitting in front of her, listening with great interest, and seemed to be very intoxicated.

Yu Nuan looked at the two of them and muttered in a low voice: "A foxy look." ”

Lantian was still worried about Sima Chao's decision to send her down that day, and she said with disdain: "I heard that the eldest prince has been very fond of this concubine in the past few days, not only calling her to accompany her every day, but also rewarding her with endless jewelry. It's just a cheap fox, I really can't imagine that the eldest prince is such a womanizer. ”

Luo Fu glanced at Sima Chao and Na Meiji not far away, and said lightly, "Let's go." ”

After Love took the maidservant away, the murmuring of the harp in the spring day also came to an abrupt end, not because the girl's hand slipped, but because the person listening to the harp across from her suddenly pulled away.

Sima Chao returned to the study, and Chang Shunxi followed up and said: "Eldest son, Master Zhang just ordered someone to send a secret letter, which contains a list of some rebel ministers, so that you can keep an eye on it." ”

Sima Chao said: "I know." With that, he pressed the secret letter under the bookcase.

Shunxi replied: "General Xie sent an invitation, saying that he was holding a banquet in the mansion tonight, and invited you to the banquet." ”

Sima Chao replied: "You go and push, just say that I have something to do tonight." ”

Shun Xi saw that Sima Chao was not interested, and he replied tentatively: "Also, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent two more Meiji over, do you want to meet them." ”

When Sima Chao heard this, he slapped the case heavily, and said angrily: "What Meiji, call me out." ”

Shun Xi saw that Sima Chao was suddenly angry again for no reason, he was so frightened that he shrank his neck and hurriedly retreated.

"Eldest Prince, what's wrong with you?" As soon as Shun-hee stepped back, Rou-hee walked in slowly.

Sima Chao raised his eyes when he heard the sound and asked, "Who let you in?" ”

His face was gloomy and his tone was unkind.

Rou Ji blinked, and replied aggrievedly: "The eldest prince is fine, but where did the slave family not serve thoughtfully and displease the eldest prince?" ”

Sima Chao rubbed his eyebrows and replied lightly: "You're fine, I'm busy, you can go down." ”

Rou Ji saw that Sima Chao refused to deal with her, she wanted to be coquettish in front of him, but glancing at Sima Chao's sinister gaze, she endured it again, Rou Ji bowed slightly to Sima Chao, and reluctantly retreated.

When she got out of the study, she still glanced inside unwillingly.

In the past period of entering the mansion, in terms of pampering, Sima Chao has indeed treated her very well, he only saw her and raised her to a concubine with a wave of his hand, which is a great opportunity for a lowly woman like them.

Although Rou Ji was happy, for some reason, she was very unsteady in her heart.

Before she arrived at Wangchun Hall, she saw her cousin Sima Chuge wandering at the gate of her courtyard from a distance.

Love's name was called, and she stepped forward, and when Sima Chuge saw Love, he pulled her and cried.

Love, soothing her cousin, led her into the house, and asked, "How can you come out?" ”

The aunt was demoted to a side room, and Sima Zhengren helped the Xie family, who had the highest rank in the concubine room, into the main room, which Xie had always been at odds with Aunt Love, and since she became the main room, she treated her aunt's two children harshly in every way, looking at them like thieves, and they were not allowed to leave the yard when they were idle.

Sima Chuge sorbed and replied, "I secretly ran out to find you without telling my stepmother." ”

Love hurriedly asked, "But what happened?" ”

Sima Chuge cried and said, "Cousin, my father forced me to enter the palace as a concubine. ”

Today's saint is over sixty years old, and mediocre, greedy for beauty, the harem is not only a large number of palace concubines, but also a miasma, intrigue, into the current emperor's harem, it is like jumping into a fire pit.

Luo Fu was surprised: "The Sima family already has a daughter who has entered the palace as a concubine and is in a high position, so why send you to the palace to waste your life in vain." ”

In order to consolidate their status, the family will send the women in the clan into the palace, Sima Chao's sister Sima Chuyu has been in the palace for many years, because of the Sima family, she is now in the position of the concubine, and the Sima family wants to rely on nepotism to consolidate the status of Sima Chuyu is enough.

Sima Chuge wiped his tears and replied: "Father said that the eldest sister has also been able to give birth to an heir over the years, so he wants me to enter the palace, eldest sister, what should I do?" ”

The Sima clan is ambitious, and if the daughter of the Sima family gives birth to a prince, it will definitely be more conducive to the Sima family's seizure of power.

Love thought for a moment and asked, "My aunt has already planned for your marriage in the past, and she has always wanted to marry you to the little general of the Yongping Hou Mansion, and we are also close to the Yongping Hou Mansion, I don't know if you know about this?" ”

Sima Chuge nodded when he heard this: "My mother revealed this matter to me, and I and my cousin Zhou Shang of the Yongping Marquis Mansion are also in love, but I am afraid that in this life, we are destined to be inseparable." ”

In her last life, Sima Chuge entered the palace in the second year she married Sima Chao, and since she entered the palace, Luo Fu has never seen her again, and Luo Fu only heard that she was seriously ill in the palace for the last time, and she couldn't even recognize people every time she got sick. It can be seen that in his previous life, Sima Chuge's life was also miserable after entering the palace.

Love said categorically: "Fate needs to be fought for by yourself, since you are in love, you can leave here with him and fly away." ”

When Sima Chuge heard this, he looked at Luo Fu in disbelief and said in surprise: "Cousin, what are you talking about?" As the daughter of the Sima clan, how could I do such a thing? ”

Luo Fu took Sima Chuge's hand and said to her slowly: "Since Sima doesn't treat you as flesh and blood, why should you be stubborn about this." If you enter the harem, your life will be over, it is Sima Chuyu She has been in the palace for so many years, although she is beautiful on the surface, but how can she talk about happiness, if you don't plan for yourself, you will end up miserable in that cruel court in the future. ”

What woman doesn't want to be with her sweetheart, who wants to spend her life in vain with glory, Sima Chuge just doesn't have the courage.

Sima Chuge listened to Love's words, she stopped crying, and replied sneeringly: "Cousin, you let me think about it." ”
