Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 171
"What?" Sima Yalan's face suddenly turned pale, if someone really sent the letter to the rebel army camp and sent it to that person, then she would have no face in the future.She is not cheap goods, a hostage in exchange for Jiangshan!She is a princess, Xihao's most beautiful and noble princess, she wants to stand beside him dignifiedly, she wants his love and respect...

"Okay, I understand. You go down!"

The big court lady looked suspiciously at the master slowly sitting back on the soft couch, not understanding why the master was not in a hurry.But she didn't dare to ask any more questions, she bowed her head and backed out.

The old mother probably guessed something, and asked hesitantly, "Princess, I need to use the third..."

Sima Yalan lowered his head and straightened his messy sleeves, and it took him a long time to raise his snow-white face, his eyes were full of determination.

"Mommy, is 'Speechless' still there?"

The old mammy shook her hands and subconsciously stared, "Princess, do you want to..."

Sima Yalan nodded, pursed her two pink lips, and finally opened them gently, "Yes, it's time for the emperor to rest."

The old mammy couldn't hold on any longer, and the half-picked tiles fell down again.

"Grand...princess, that's murder..."

Sima Yalan waved his hand lightly, took out the last golden command arrow from an unremarkable small sandalwood carved box beside him, rubbed it lightly for a long while before placing it on the table.

"You personally send this command arrow to General Jin, the commander of the imperial forest army, and tell him to seal off the palace after an hour, and no one is allowed to enter or leave except the handbook of this palace. In addition, order the black robe to intercept the letter."

"Yes, princess." The old nanny took the command arrow with trembling hands, and finally couldn't help asking again, "Then you..."

"I haven't cooked for many years. Today, I personally cook a few dishes. Brother Huang...tasting wine to enjoy the spring!"

The old mama's face immediately turned three points pale, and she quickly bowed her head and retreated.In Liuxianyuan, it is still as peaceful and elegant as before. Fresh water and millet are placed in the bird tray hanging under the eaves of the corridor, which attracts a few birds to grab food and sing crisply from time to time.

The old mother sighed for a long time, if the concubine was in the spirit of heaven, how sad would it be to see the eldest son and the young lady having today's dispute?
She tightly squeezed the Golden Order Arrow in her hand, finally stuffed it tightly into her bosom, and walked out of the palace.Just like what the princess said, the Sima family's country is doomed to be destroyed in the hands of the emperor. Now that the princess is trying her best to restore it, the Sima family can at least preserve the honor and wealth of generations...

Poor chicken feet, drunk dates in honey sauce, osmanthus and lotus root, all kinds of side dishes are freshly baked.Sima Yalan finally let go of her slightly frowning eyebrows, she never felt that there was anything cute about such dirty things that a slave should be responsible for.Before the concubine mother died of illness, she insisted on teaching these three side dishes.It's a pity that she hates the smell of lampblack and the greasy kitchen, and she hasn't done it once in many years.Today, I can only make an exception for...

It was rare for Sima Quan not to be drunk, and he was announcing the dowry order from the Ministry of Rites, when he heard his younger sister come over with wine and food to make amends, his expression was unavoidably smug.So he waved away the trembling Minister of Rites, and announced the girl to come in.

Sima Yalan changed out of her palace attire, and wore an ordinary light-yellow brocade jacket, plain pleated skirt, and simply pulled her hair back, without the help of a maid, she carried the food box by herself, and just walked out of the palace gate When he came in, Sima Quan was a little dumbfounded.It seems that many years ago, when both the concubine mother and the king father had not passed away, the younger sister liked to dress like this. The concubine mother often said that she was the little flower fairy bestowed by heaven to the Sima family.Difficult to wait, the family often sits in the garden, eating snacks made by the mother and concubine, it is rare that there are no outsiders to disturb, very quiet and comfortable.

Now that I think about it, although sitting on the throne is wonderful and doing whatever I want, I will never get back that time.

Sima Yalan didn't disturb the emperor's ecstasy, and slowly opened the food box, took out a few plates of snacks and a white jade long-necked pot, and finally smiled slightly, "Emperor brother, but are you still angry with me? I did it on purpose. How about a few plates of snacks and a few drinks with Brother Huang, as an apology?"

Sima Quan came back to his senses, and was flattered to hear these words. Even when his father, king, and concubine were both alive, his noble and extremely noble sister had never been so close to him.

"Ahem," he coughed twice before recovering his voice. He tried his best to pretend to be arrogant, waved his hands and said, "We are all one family, why would I be angry with you? Let's do it, let's talk to brothers and sisters."

There was still a smile on Sima Yalan's beautiful cheeks, she raised her hand to hold a piece of lotus root for her elder brother, and urged, "Brother, try this sliced ​​lotus root first, I put a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus honey. Remember when you were young, your favorite mother This snack made by my concubine was almost so sweet that my teeth were broken, and my concubine refused to make it for you afterwards."

"That's right," Sima Quan's expression faded from arrogance, and he became a little more melancholy, "In a flash, my mother and concubine have passed away for six years, and you... have grown into a big girl."

As he was talking, he took a bite of the lotus root slices, and sighed, "Well, it has the same taste as the mother and concubine. Back then, the mother and concubine said that women should learn crafts. After marriage, you will be filial to Weng Gu. You don't want to , and have been making trouble for two days. Now, you are going to get married. Lan'er, I am your elder brother, so naturally I will not harm you. You also liked to follow that person since you were a child, and marrying him is also a wish fulfilled , don’t twist with me, okay?”

Sima Yalan's long eyelashes were trembling, covering up all the disgust in her eyes, and there was a touch of determination in her expression, but when she raised her head, she smiled gently and well-behaved, holding the hip flask firmly.

"Brother Huang is right. I had a temper tantrum earlier. Isn't this an apology for Brother Huang?" As she spoke, she raised her hand and filled the wine glasses in front of Sima Quan and herself.

"I offer a toast to Brother Huang!"

"Okay, you can drink it if you want." Sima Quan was very happy, and raised his hand to pick up the wine glass.Unexpectedly, there was a close-eyed eunuch at the side, who pinched the silver needle and stepped forward to test the poison.

Sima Yalan probably felt suspicious, and immediately turned cold.When Sima Quan saw it, he immediately kicked the eunuch out, and shouted, "Blind dog slave, can my imperial sister still be poisoned? Get out!"

The eunuch was so frightened that he ran to the corner of the hall, knelt down and dared not get up.

Only then did Sima Yalan return to his smiling face, clinked glasses lightly with Brother Huang, and drank it down in one gulp, then wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.

Sima Quan also raised his hand and drank it, and finally asked in confusion, "Is this the daughter red brewed in 18 years? The imperial sister won't take out your wedding wine?"

"Brother Huang guessed right." Sima Yalan nodded, put down the handkerchief lightly, and smiled strangely, "This is the twenty altars of daughter red that my father buried in the plum garden when I was born, just waiting for me to marry It's time to take it out to entertain guests."

"Nonsense! Why did you take it out before the day came?" Sima Quan stared, but finally joked again, "Could it be that the imperial sister is impatient and wants to get married immediately?"

Sima Lan nodded, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he said softly, "Since I was 13 years old, I have been looking forward to marrying Brother Bao. Back then when my father talked about our marriage, I was so happy that I almost went crazy. Li embroidered the wedding dress and got married as soon as he came back. However, my wedding dress was embroidered. But he was killed by your bowl of poisoned tea."

Sima Quan faintly felt that there was something wrong, but his sister's words still made him a little embarrassed and annoyed, "Let's forget what happened back then, why bother to bring it up again. Besides, that person's life is hard, didn't he come back to life?"

Sima Yalan sneered, rubbing the calluses on his fingertips with his fingers, "It's easy for the emperor to say, do you know how many times I read the scriptures for this? He made great contributions to Xihao, and he just pacified Teller. I was killed by you, Brother Huang really didn't care about the love he grew up with."

Sima Quan was annoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help shouting, "Are you blaming me? You have a deep bond with him, but I never regarded him as a brother? But whenever he was around, when did my father praise me? , People who don’t know, I’m afraid they think he is the little county king of the palace? Even you, don’t you also get closer to him!”

Xu Shi remembered his unsatisfactory childhood, so Sima Quan picked up the jug and poured another glass, and simply drank it.

Sima Yalan's eyes flickered, but he stopped talking.

Now it was Sima Quan's turn to regret it, his younger sister was about to marry for the sake of the Sima family, so it was hard to let her be wronged again.So, he softened his tone and said again, "Don't hold on to the past, you are going to marry now. But in the future, don't forget that you are Xihao's most honorable princess. If he bullies you , you just send the letter back, I will make the decision for you!"

Sima Lan's sneer was even stronger, and he mocked, "Brother Huang sent me like a commodity, just to get back half of the Sima family. Do you think that person will still treat me like a jewel? Even if I send the letter back, the emperor Could it be that my brother will personally seek justice for me? I am afraid that my brother may have passed out in the arms of some concubine drunk!"

"You are presumptuous!" Sima Quan was so angry that his sister pointed his nose at him and scolded him for being incompetent, he stood up abruptly, and when he wanted to scold him again, he suddenly felt dizzy, stars shot out in front of his eyes, and he fell headfirst land.

The maids and eunuchs in the main hall were shocked, and they were about to step forward to investigate, but Sima Yalan raised his hand to stop him.She squatted down and saw that the emperor's mouth was crooked, his hands and feet were twitching, and she couldn't help feeling happy, and whispered in her elder brother's ear, "Elder brother, don't worry, I will marry Brother Bao. But I You must stand beside him dignifiedly, and look at Xihao's magnificent country together with him. As for the dowry, I have already given the half of the country that the emperor promised me to Brother Bao in advance."

The doubts in Sima Quan's eyes became more and more intense, but suddenly a ball of light burst out, and his face turned livid, his hands and feet twitched even more violently, and his teeth were chattering loudly.

Seeing that he was about to bite his tongue, Sima Yalan reached out and took a pair of chopsticks and walked in, and then continued, "Brother Huang, you must have guessed it? Yes, I ordered Feng Yong to surrender. The Sima family Rather than destroying the country in your hands, you should give me a helping hand. In the future, I will become a queen and give birth to a child to inherit Xihao's great country. I think the ancestors of the Sima family will agree with them in Jiuquan with a smile on their faces."
