Chapter 170

Xu Shi heard people's voices, and the orioles on the bushes immediately spread their wings and flew away.

The woman frowned slightly, and put down the brush in her hand casually.

The old mammy glanced at half of the painting, and was surprised that she had disturbed the princess's interest, so she quickly put down the tea bowl to make amends, "I don't know, I disturbed the princess, so I ask the princess to punish her."

The woman raised her hand indifferently, finally picked up the bowl of ginseng tea, drank half of it slowly, and finally remembered something or someone, but there was a touch of sadness between her brows.

"Mommy, where is Brother Bao's army?"

"I heard that we are four hundred miles away from the capital, and we will be entering the capital in less than three days." The old mother bowed in response, and finally added on her own initiative, "The emperor has become more and more irritable these days. Two palace men were killed with sticks. The three thousand Imperial Forest Army had already climbed the palace wall, but... alas, everyone knows that they are no match for the rebel army, they are just blocking the car with their arms!"

A complex look flashed in the princess's eyes, with a faint hint of shame, and finally returned to innocence, like a deep and peaceful lake.No one can understand whose shadow is reflected in the center of her lake...

The old mother wanted to say something, but she heard a report from a palace maid outside the door, "Your Highness, the emperor sent someone to invite you to the Tai Chi Hall."

The princess frowned again, and raised her eyes to signal the old mother to ask a question.

The old mother hurried to the door, asked a few words in a low voice, and came back to report, "The messenger eunuch of the Taiji Palace didn't know anything, and only said that Concubine Xiao Gui had just been favored."

A trace of disgust was added to the princess's expression, as if her ears were stained with filth after hearing the words Xiao Guifei.

But the old mother hesitated and said, "At this time, the emperor is afraid that he has a bad temper. Why don't I go for a walk and say that the princess is not feeling well."

The princess shook her head, got up and said, "No, I'd better go to the palace. Brother Huang, maybe you have something to say?"

The old mama still wanted to persuade her, but she remembered the golden arrow that sent half of Sima's family home, and vaguely understood the guilt in the princess's heart, so she quickly took a red fox fur and waited for her to put it on, and finally recruited four The grand ladies went out together.

The eight eunuchs stepped forward, blowing the slightly cool wind, and soon arrived outside the Tai Chi Hall.A eunuch and court lady saw it from afar, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, her expression full of excitement and joy.

Who doesn't know that Princess Qingcheng is as beautiful as a fairy, and she really has a compassionate heart like a fairy.Even though she seldom came to the Tai Chi Hall, and would quarrel with the emperor every time, as long as she was allowed to meet a palace servant to be tortured, she would definitely open her mouth to intercede.Although some people were executed more cruelly by the furious emperor, there were still a few who survived.

If the entire imperial palace is now a hell, then the princess is the only ray of sunshine in the hell, everyone can't wait to stick to her side and never leave.Pray for redemption and drive away fear too...

Bu Tuo stopped firmly at the entrance of the main hall, and the princess helped the old mother down, not wanting to frown tightly as soon as she walked into the entrance of the main hall.

The originally spacious and luxurious hall is not much better than a pig's nest in a farmhouse.Wine jars, wine bowls were thrown all over the place, and something was sprinkled on the carpet, which had dried up until only maroon was left. Sima Quan was half lying on the imperial concubine's couch with his chest open and back, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and half lying on the bed. It was draped around the waist, wrinkled out of shape.

Sima Quan didn't expect the girl to come so quickly, he glanced at the entrance of the hall with his eyes blindfolded, and immediately woke up from the drunkenness, sat up quickly and laughed, "Yalan, you're here, sit down!"

Sima Yalan lowered his eyes halfway to hide the disgust and dislike in his eyes, but spoke calmly and politely, "Nowadays it's getting warmer and colder, Brother Huang should also take care of the dragon's body, put on your clothes before it's too late."

Sima Quan blushed when he heard this, and hurriedly put the dragon robe on his body, and finally scolded all the court ladies and eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground, "Don't hurry up and clean it up, do you want me to do it myself? If you dare to neglect, you will all be killed!"

All the eunuchs and maids gritted their teeth with hatred in their hearts. They tried to tidy up the hall several times, but every time they were either thrown out by wine bowls, or simply dragged out and killed with sticks.Now they speak as if they didn't take good care of them. They are really wronged and afraid. They wish that the rebels would attack in the next moment and chop this tyrant into eight pieces.

Sima Yalan covered his nose and mouth with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice, "The palace people around the emperor are all good, and they do their best on weekdays. Don't be so easy to kill the emperor, it's always a life."

Sima Quan waved his hand indifferently, and replied, "You have lived in the nunnery for a long time, and you are so soft-hearted. If these lowly maidservants don't kill a few to make rafts, I'm afraid they will dare to bully me!"

Sima Yalan sighed secretly, it wasn't that she was cruel, and easily gave away half of Xihao's world for the sake of a man she cared about.It's really that the emperor's brother is too tyrannical and extravagant. The country built by the ancestors of the Sima family, and Xihao, which the ancestors tried their best to govern, cannot be destroyed in the hands of the emperor's brother.As long as Brother Fan has a little talent and a little responsibility, she will not act like this.

It's a pity that an emperor who dared not go out to fight the enemy, but only dared to sit in the palace and kill his slaves with a stick of wine, is a disgrace to the Sima family!

After all the courtiers cleaned up the hall and retreated respectfully, Sima Yalan said lightly, "Brother Huang called me, is there something wrong?"

Sima Quan swallowed unconsciously. Although this girl was a few years younger than him and a compatriot, he never understood what she was thinking.Except for the fact that she likes Gong Zhiming, it seems that there is nothing in this world that can change her expression a little bit, so that sometimes he suspects that this girl really fell from the sky.

Earlier, he made a decisive move, poisoned Gong Zhiming to death, and took over Xihao's power firmly.The younger sister had a big fight with him, and even now he still remembered her blood red eyes, if it wasn't for the two of them having the same blood, she might really want to kill him.

Now that Gong Zhiming is back from the dead, she has just returned to the palace.He wanted to open his mouth to marry him, but he was somewhat frightened.

He raised his hand and poured a cup of herbal tea vigorously, then pretended not to care, and said, "Lan'er, you are not too young now, you have enough, and it stands to reason that you should get married. I don't know if you have a man you like , no matter whose family he is, you can tell Brother Huang that Brother Huang will make the decision for you to marry him."

Sima Yalan's heart trembled, she straightened her back subconsciously, and replied in a low voice, "Thank you, brother, for thinking about me. I made a great wish to pray for my father for three years, and now it's still half a year away. I know the kindness of brother, brother." . But let’s talk about it later.”

"Uh," Sima Quan's words were blocked tightly, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, and said patiently, "Lan'er, when my father was still alive, I once said that I wanted to promise you to you." Gong Zhiming. Although there was no engagement ceremony and no tokens exchanged, this marriage contract is still counted. I am afraid that Gong Zhiming is thinking of you now, otherwise he would not be so aggressive. Why don't I send someone to send a letter today and choose I will get married to you two days ago, and I will send you a dowry to the state capital south of Lishui. Look..."

"Your Majesty!" Before Sima Quan could finish speaking, the old nanny's eyes widened in shock, and the veins on her forehead were stretched out with anger. There are too many tokens to exchange. Besides, even if there is a marriage contract, if the princess is married at this time, what will the princess become? How can the princess's face be saved? Also, now that the general Gongzhi is about to come to the city, how can it be possible to return half of the princess if he marries the princess? country?"

"Bad maid!" Sima Quan became completely annoyed when Lao Di'er was exposed, raised his hand and smashed a tea bowl, and finally ordered someone to drag the old mother down.But Sima Yalan stood up, with a cold look on his face, which was a bit more vivid than the fireworks in the previous story, "Is the emperor going to have Mammy killed again? Have you forgotten that Mammy serves the mother and concubine?" Until the end of life!"

The old mother also knelt down on the ground at the right time, and began to cry, "Mother, why did you go so early? The princess was left to grow up alone, and now she has to be sent out by the emperor as goods! Mother, are you here?" Come and take a look, the princess is so pitiful!"

Sima Quan's face turned livid, wishing he could strangle this old woman who was as rambunctious as a village woman to death, but as the sister said, this old woman has served the old concubine for half her life, no matter how angry he is, he can't ignore his mother's affection.

"Forget it, I will spare you old woman today. Get out!"

The disappointment in Sima Yalan's eyes grew stronger, "Brother Emperor, let's find another way to return to Jiangshan. I will never marry like this. If the ancestors of the Sima family complain in the future, then I will personally marry you." apologize."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked out holding the hand of the old mother, leaving behind Sima Quan who smashed all the things crazily, roaring like a trapped beast, "I am the master of the world, you can do whatever I want you to do." Can't resist! Even you look down on me, don't you? Good, good!"

Sima Quan's hair was disheveled, his eyes were red, and he stretched out his hand to grab the trembling eunuch holding the pen, "Write, write to Gongzhi immediately, if you want to marry the princess, let Xihao Jiangshan come out, otherwise I will reward the imperial sister with a cup of dove poison." The number one beauty, Princess Qingcheng, he will never see her again! Haha, haha! Pass down the order and prepare the princess dowry, the thicker the better, my imperial sister is married, and she must not be wronged!"

He laughed crazily, the eunuch Bingbi trembled into a ball of fright, he didn't know what ghost symbols he drew on the blank edict, and finally ran away...

In Liuxianyuan, the old mother saw that the knuckles of the princess holding the tea bowl had turned white, and hurried forward to comfort her in distress, "Princess, princess, calm down! The emperor is also desperate, and he is in a hurry to go to the doctor..."

Sima Yalan couldn't bear it anymore, raised his hand and smashed the tea bowl into pieces, "The ancestors of the Sima family are all outstanding people, even the father and mother are wise and reasonable, why did he give birth to such a fool?"

The old mama sighed in her heart, being able to force the princess who has always been ignorant of the world into swearing, it can be seen that she is annoyed to the limit!

"Princess calm down, I just explained it to the emperor, this matter will definitely not be brought up again..."

Xu is that the old mama was not going well today, and she was almost killed with a stick just now. Just after she finished speaking, a big palace lady came to report, "His Royal Highness, there is a decree from the Taiji Palace! The emperor issued an order. Prepare... the dowry, I heard that a letter was sent to the rebels..."
