Sima Ying is the sixteenth son of the former emperor Sima Yan, and her mother concubine Cheng Cairen has a low status, but she finally has a son who has promoted her status and promoted to concubine. In addition, as he grew older, Sima Ying became more and more handsome and upright, and Sima Yan liked him more and more.

When Sima Ying was thirteen years old, his marriage was on the agenda. That is, General Hua has also been dead in battle for three years, and Hua Zhi, who has completed the period of filial piety, can prepare for marriage.

Sima Yan promised that once Sima Ying got married, he would have a fief and become a king. Concubine Cheng thought that this was also cost-effective, once she left Luoyang, Sima Ying would be more free, and there would be no need to intrigue with these people from the Sima royal family.

Therefore, when she looked at Huazhi and Yu again, her eyes softened a lot.

General Hua's martial arts are superb, and the Yu family also has good skills, so Hua Zhi has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and often practices martial arts with Sima Ying and other princes like a boy, and his life is also very good.

At that time, Sima Zhen was already the position of the prince, and he was much older than them, so when he walked over from the martial arts training ground, he took a look, occasionally posed as a brother, and rewarded him with some ice cheese on a hot summer day.

The martial arts arena of Luoyang Palace is also very large, in addition to the forbidden army practicing here on weekdays, it is the princes who compete here, and every move is very serious.

The words and sentences in "Guangling Watching the Soldiers" written by Cao Pi back then were still hung on the high platform of the martial arts arena, "The spear becomes a mountain forest, and the Xuanjia shines brightly." The fierce general is furious, and the courage is rampant. ”

Sima Yan is still martial arts, and once said: "The martial arts must be practiced hard, and the iron beam sharpens the embroidery needle, and the work will be natural." When the princes heard such words, they naturally had to behave.

However, since the wedding date with Sima Ying was set, Hua Zhi no longer competed, but just watched Sima Ying compete with the royal brothers from the sidelines. Sima Ying actually didn't like it, because these royal brothers had different thoughts, and often made some small moves during the competition, causing the opponent to be injured.

For example, the Ten Emperor Brothers have just received the saddle rewarded by the emperor, and the next moment they will hurt their legs in the competition; The sixth emperor brother got a big bow from the emperor, and his clothes were likely to be torn inexplicably in the martial arts arena; When the Thirteen Emperor Brothers were rewarded with a bowl of cheese, someone would attack him in the abdomen...... And so on, all kinds of small actions are constant, and it is impossible to prevent them.

Especially Sima Ying, a younger son who is more and more liked by Sima Yan, has encountered more and more small situations, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Concubine Cheng has already warned her son to compete with them less.

But Hua Zhi likes it very much, and prefers to see Sima Ying fall those imperial brothers, she thinks that her future husband is the best general and prince of the Great Jin! He is a person to be proud of all his life!

On this day, just after breakfast, the princes gathered in the martial arts arena again. General Anbei Yan Xun was fighting fiercely with Xianbei Murong Diao in Changli, killing and wounding tens of thousands of people. Sima Yan planned to send a prince to supervise the war, also to cheer up the soldiers.

Although the battle was fierce, it was obvious that the Great Jin side was about to win. At this time, no matter which prince goes, he will pick the fruits of victory, which is a reward deliberately given by Sima Yan, and it will also make this prince weigh when he is crowned king in the future.

Not only did the princes stand in the center of the martial arts arena, but even some princes came to join in the fun, planning to have a martial arts competition, and the winner would go to "pick peaches".

Although Sima Ying is young, her skills have always been in the front, and she is naturally the object of everyone's attention. He won five in a row and sweated profusely on the summer heat. The onlookers and the forbidden soldiers were very impressed by his good skills, and Huazhi was extremely happy when he heard it. She pretended to be Sima Ying's personal entourage and followed him, although she couldn't play, she helped with clothes, wiped sweat, and prepared food and other things very quickly.

Hua Zhi was still quietly analyzing other people's martial arts routines for him and telling him some precautions. The two of them exchanged heads and had a pretty good relationship.

When the crown prince Sima Zhen came over, he looked at it for a while, felt bored and wanted to leave, and the eunuch Zhang Du next to him whispered: "You want to reward these brothers with something to show that your imperial brother cares about them." ”

Sima Cheng was already very fat at that time, and he was so hot that he always wanted to open his chest. The little eunuchs around him have been standing by and fanning him, but with little success. "You can give it to me, I have to go back and sleep for a while."

Zhang Du thought about it, so he asked people to make a few large barrels of cheese and carry it over, saying loudly that it was a reward from the prince. Everyone kowtowed again, and the scene became even more enthusiastic.

Sima Ying doesn't like sweets, and she doesn't like to drink cold food. He handed Hua Zhi a bowl of cheese that he had just scooped from the bucket to Hua Zhi, who was sorting out the clothes that Sima Ying had just taken off, all sweating, and he also got her hand.

"Why are you sweating so much?" Hanae asked him with a smile.

"Oh, Brother Fourteen said that splashing some water would be cooler, so I poured half a bowl of water on my body, but I felt uncomfortable, so I wiped it, and my clothes were wet." Sima Ying also laughed, "Brother Fourteen is so stupid, he gave me this broken bowl, you take it first, and throw it to him later." ”

"Okay." Huazhi reached out to catch the broken bowl, but unexpectedly the broken bowl cut his thumb and bled out.

"Hey, why are you so careless?" Sima Ying complained, "Put it down and go wash it." ”

When Huazhi saw that there was blood, she panicked a little, and accidentally touched the cheese bowl again, almost spilling it. Sima Ying frowned again, "Don't be frizzy, you drink this bowl of cheese first, and then go wash the wound and then come over to help me tidy up my clothes." ”

"Okay." Hua Zhi was very obedient, and her mood was much better after drinking the cold cheese, "The Sixteenth Prince is really the best, I like you." ”

The sudden confession made Sima Ying stunned. Then he laughed too, urging Huazhi to treat his wound quickly, and then came over to see him continue the competition.

But until the competition was over, Huazhi did not come back.

After all, Sima Ying is young and physically exhausted. In the end, it was the fifth prince who won the victory and was assigned to the front line by Sima Yan and got this glorious opportunity.

Now that there are results, the princes disperse and go back to rest. There are a lot of people, and it's also messy when everyone gets together. Sima Ying waited for a while before returning to her residence.

But after I went back, I didn't see the flower branches, and even the domestic servants said that they hadn't seen the flower branches.

Sima Ying felt strange in her heart, so she sent someone to find it, and also went to Yu's side to ask. According to common sense, the flower branches always have to be sticky with him, and they will not be separated for a moment. But now, where did she go?
