Like Pearl and Jade - Chapter 63

“This matter has long been finalized, why should Master Sima mention it again?” Zhang Zhonghan said seriously, “Is it important to mention the old thing, is it not sad to provoke the Queen Mother?”

“It’s not early, I’ll leave now.” Zhang Zhonghan didn’t want to be pulled into the water by Sima Hong. No matter what the other party’s thoughts, he made up his mind not to participate, so as not to provoke anger.

Looking at the figure of Zhang Zhonghan hurried away, Sima Hong snorted, turned to see Li Guangji looking at himself with a smile, he clenched his fist, “Li Xiang.”

“Master Sima,” Li Guangji walked in front of Sima Hong, and said unclearly, “Now it’s summer, and the weather is changing. Please pay attention to your body, Master Sima.”

“There is a sense of concern for Lao Li,” Sima Hong said lightly, “Li Xiang should pay more attention to it.”

Li Guangji arched his hand towards him: “Master Sima is right.”

The relationship between the two has always been peaceful on the inside, and each other is fighting each other, so there is nothing to say at this time. After a few words, they will go their own way.

Sima Hong returned home, waved his hand at his son, daughter-in-law and grandson, and looked tired: “You don’t have to wait for me for lunch, I use it in the yard.”

“Yes.” Zheng’s expression was not very good when he saw his father-in-law. He knew that he was worried about Wei Ting recently. After paying a courtesy to Sima Hong, he dared not say anything else.

Sima Hong glanced at Sima Xiang, who was standing in the corner, and left with a sullen face.

“Husband,” Zheng said to his husband, “You go to accompany the old man, so that he doesn’t hold back anything.”

Sima Toe nodded, looked back at his son and daughter-in-law, and whispered: “It’s hard work.”

Zheng smiled and straightened his clothes.

After doing all this, Zheng turned to his son and daughter-in-law and said, “Go back to your yard. There is nothing wrong here.”

Standing in the corner, Sima Xiang followed the cousin, Tangsao, out of the main yard. When Tangsao saw her face was not very good, she asked with concern: “Sanmei’s complexion seems to be not very good in recent days, but her body is unwell? ”

“It’s okay,” Sima Xiang shook his head with a smile, a little embarrassed on his face, “It will be fine in two days.”

Tangsao thought she was talking about the days of the woman’s month, so she nodded in a clear way: “Then take a good rest and don’t blow the wind.”

“Yes.” Sima Xiang responded with a smile, and the smile on his face collapsed only after walking away from her cousin and cousin. She was not worried about Wei Ting, but about the disappearance of Prime Minister Gao Luoguo.

As soon as she agreed with Qi Lian, Qi Lian returned to Gao Luo. Who knew this would happen? At this time, she only hoped that Qi Lian was insulted by the Gao Luo people. If … if it was caught by the Dafeng people, let her majesty know that she was going private with the Gao Luo country’s great minister. Even the entire Sima family is affected.

Although for her, the rest of the Sima family is not particularly important, but she knows in her heart how much influence the family power has on women. Therefore, the Sima family must not have anything to do. The Sima family is down, which means that she is also over.

My girl ’s monthly affairs did n’t come. As a close-in maid, Baomei knew very well that she was puzzled and surprised when she saw the girl lying with her grandma and grandma. .

Back at the small courtyard where she lived, Sima Xiang thought for a long time and decided to tell her aunt that she agreed to the Qian family’s courtship.

But before she left the small courtyard, she saw the housekeeper walk in with a few grandmas. The grandma was wearing the same dress, which was the standard in the palace. She looked at the steward in doubt, not knowing how this happened. thing.

“This is Miss Sima?” The grandma who walked at the front glanced at Sima Xiang, and leaned her head to the housekeeper, with a slightly arrogant attitude.

“Yes.” The butler’s face smiled a little pleasingly.

Grandma looked at Sima Xiang from head to toe. After confirming that Sima Xiang was correct, she nodded to several other accompanying grandma, and then said to Sima Xiang, “Miss Sima, noble in the palace, please, please You follow us. ”

“I don’t know which nobleman in the palace summoned it?” Sima Xiang felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he was a little blessed to Grandma. “Please also express clearly.”

“The reputation of the nobles in the palace, in fact, I can say to the humble people,” said Grandma with a smile, “I will know when the girl meets in the palace.”

Sima Xiang frowned, but it was the grandmother in the palace who had taken carelessly to the family to take people away. This was too much to give Sima a face. She glanced at the housekeeper who lowered her eyebrows, and then looked at the direction of the main courtyard without movement.

Did the old man and the aunt agree?

“It is the honor of the courtiers to summon the nobles in the palace,” Sima Xiang said with a smile. “Please also take the mother for a moment, and wait for the courtiers to salute the elders in the family before entering the palace with you.”

“Three girls, my wife said, the affairs of the nobles in the palace must not be delayed,” the housekeeper said to Sima Xiang. “These rites at home are not important.”

“I see.” The smile on Sima Xiang’s face was as usual, but the hand hidden in the sleeve shivered slightly.

The carriage that came to pick up Sima Xiang was very gorgeous, and there were guards on both sides of the carriage, even the car of the county monarch.

“Girl, is it the emperor …” Baomei, who followed Sima Xiang on the carriage, saw that the carriage was so exquisite and could not help but say, “This carriage is so beautiful.”

Hearing Bao Mei’s words, Sima Xiang’s heart moved, recalling the beautiful face of His Majesty today, with a hint of blush on his cheeks.

In the main house of the Sima family, after listening to the report from the housekeeper, Zheng sighed: “I know.”

After her daughter sent a letter back a few days ago to make her pay more attention to Sima Xiang, she became more alert to Sima Xiang. Just now, someone suddenly came to the palace, saying that Sima Xiang might have committed something. To take her to the palace for interrogation, she gave her a little thought and agreed.

Now she calmed down, and she felt a little regret in her heart. If Sima Xiang had made a big mistake, what would happen to Sima’s family? If she temporarily drags people away from taking Sima Xiang, maybe they still have time to deal with the beginning and the end, now it can only be passive.

“Sister-in-law, you don’t have to think about too much,” said Mrs. Sun, the second wife of Sima’s family sitting under her head. “Your Majesty, Shengming, will not involve anyone who is not related.”

“I hope so,” Zheng rubbed his forehead. “We still need someone to go to Sanshu, and Xiangya is taken away from us. We will always give him an explanation.”

I don’t know what happened recently, the days are getting worse.

The Sun family sneered in his heart. Sima Yue thought about Sima Xiang’s daughter at this moment. He lingered in Qinlou Chuguan’s wind and moon all day long, for fear that even his own name would be forgotten.

Knowing that the second brother and sister have a must for the third room, Zheng is not good to mention the third room in front of the Sun, but talk about other things.

Although she didn’t want to admit it, when Sima Xiang was taken away by the palace people, she was relieved. She didn’t know what was going on. She couldn’t like Sima Xiang as a junior.

The carriage went straight all the way, and it never stopped halfway. Listening to the sound of horseshoes treading outside, Sima Xiang was a little curious. Why hasn’t he walked to the palace gate for so long?

Suddenly, the carriage bumped a bit, and after a further journey, she realized that the surroundings were much quieter. She wanted to lift the curtains to see it, but she was afraid of committing taboos and had to suppress the impulse.

I don’t know how long it went, the carriage stopped, and she heard a sharp **** voice from Waiman.

“Girl Sima, please get off the carriage.”

Eunuch? Her heart moved, is it really the emperor …

With her hands shaking, she opened the curtain and saw the handsome young man standing opposite him and the **** and guard standing behind him.

She hurriedly got off the carriage and bowed to Yingying Yingying: “The courtesan and daughters see your majesty, long live majesty.”

Jin Yang looked down at the woman who was standing outside the eaves of Fu Shen. She has a graceful posture and a complexion of snow. Because she lowered her head and showed a beautiful neck, this is a stunner that makes many men tempted.

Gently twisting the finger on the thumb, Jin Yang raised his hand slightly, and some of the grandmaes who were standing behind Sima Xiang suddenly came forward, covered them, grabbed their arms, and dragged her to look aside Rise in a dilapidated palace.

“Woo!” Sima Xiang’s eyes widened in horror, struggling to look in the direction where Jin Yang stood, only to see that the man stood expressionless, like a lifeless ice sculpture, ice cold stinging.

She did not know where the strength came from, but she rushed forward and grabbed his sleeve.

He Ming immediately changed his face, wanting to push away Sima Xiang, he saw his majesty, and kicked Sima Xiang away.

He was stunned at the time, watching Sima Xiang being held by the eunuchs and grandma, but nothing happened yet.

Sima Xiang struggled even harder, but this time her grandma and **** took extra care to make her exhaust all her strength and could not break away.

Fear hit her like a flood of tide. She had never been as scared as she was at this moment. What glory and wealth, what power and glory, all turned into smoke.

The wide-open palace gate is like a big beast’s blood basin. When she was dragged in, she felt that her life was also swallowed by this dark palace.

“Miss Sima, offended.” Several grandmothers pushed her into a cell and locked the door.

“What are you doing?” Sima Xiang flew to the door, pulling the copper lock, the copper lock was not moving, but her hand was turned red, “Let me go.”

“Miss Sima, it’s better to be quiet when you enter this place,” He Ming walked outside her cell. “Your Majesty is quiet, if you continue to quarrel, our family will only cut your tongue.”

Sima Xiang was stunned and looked at He Ming with a frightened face. After a while he shivered and said, “I am a distinguished lady of the family, you can’t treat me like this.”

The place was stuffy and hot, with a musty smell, and there were no windows around it. It was breathless.

He Mingwen said with a sneer, yin and yang strangely said: “Our family has never seen a family lady who dare to start with her own mother. Miss Sima really opened our eyes.”

“What are you talking nonsense about?” Sima Xiang said angrily. “Grandpa He, even if you are a front servant, you can’t be so bloody.”

He Ming saw her face full of anger and looked wronged. She shook her head and said with emotion: “Miss Sima, if she puts her thoughts on the right path, she must be a big man.” Used on loved ones.

Sima Xiang bowed her head and didn’t speak. She didn’t know how much He Ming knew, or how much the emperor knew.

“Miss Sima doesn’t have to argue this right in front of our house, right or wrong, your majesty already knows, even for the embroidered shoes you threw into the abandoned well, someone has found it for you, can Miss Sima have a look?” He Ming laughed. Said, “It’s just that there is blood on it, and it looks like the past is not bright.”

“Not me!” Sima Xiang gritted his teeth. “My mother had committed suicide when I went.”

“Our family has already said that, Miss Sima does not have to explain this to our family, our family is not interested in your behavior,” He Ming smiled gradually, and became more serious. “Just you want to collaborate with foreign enemies and frame the queen. Our mother had to take care of the matter. ”

“I don’t understand He Gonggong’s words.” Sima Xiang suddenly looked up behind He Ming, his eyes also stained with a little glory.

He Ming looked back and saw that His Majesty came over, he bowed back to the side, and then set up a table bench with other eunuchs for Jin Marting, and even served hot tea.

Sima Xiang’s hot eyes suddenly dimmed. She leaned on the door and slowly knelt on the ground: “Sima Xiang, a courtier, has seen your majesty.”

Jin Yang took a sachet and placed it on the tip of his nose. The sachet was embroidered with a blessing character. The embroidery was not very good, but the slight mint fragrance in the purse was very refreshing.

He Ming recognized at a glance that this was the queen’s empress who had been interested a few days ago and embroidered her majesty. Such a small sachet has been embroidered for a whole month, but your majesty is still a rarity. It is hanging on the body all day, and I take it out and smell it if there is nothing wrong. Weird.

Jin Yang glanced at Sima Xiang who was kneeling on the ground, and did not call. He put the sachet in his arms and turned to He Mingdao, “What do you say over the Sima family?”

“Going back to the emperor, the Sima family said that the three girls in the Sima family were seriously ill and no foreigners could be seen.” He Ming whispered, “Master Sima still wants to enter the palace to ask for guilt, but he is stopped by the slave-servant.”

“Huh.” Jin Yang nodded. “They still know what’s wrong.”

Although Sima Hong is ambitious, he will never do anything to confuse the enemy and sell his country. So when he knew that Sima Xiang had secretly colluded with Qi Lian, if He Ming didn’t help him quickly, he was afraid that he would be in the face of He Ming. Kneel down.

The Sima clan has been passed down for hundreds of years. Although each generation has dumb and incompetent people, there is absolutely no betrayal of the country and no way to betray the country. It is up to the family to fight and rob again in the country. If collusion with foreign enemies, it will exceed the bottom line of the Sima clan.

It is precisely because of this that Sima Hongcai agreed to let the royal family take Sima Xiang, and even thanked Jin Yang. If this is a big issue, no matter whether their big house will be affected in the end, but their Sima family will sweep the ground. The glory of the first-class family can no longer be maintained.

He Ming smiled and agreed, and turned his head to look at Sima Xiang’s eyes, just like looking at a dead person.

Only then did Sima Xiang realize that she had been abandoned by the family. She was imprisoned by the emperor in this hidden prison, but in the eyes of outsiders, she was seriously ill and recuperating at home.

Thinking about this, she laughed dumbly, she burst into tears, and then said to her majesty: “Your majesty is a good means to hold the handle of Sima’s house, and let the Sima family bear your great grace. , Thinking more than others. ”

Even if her incident broke out, the emperor could not bring down the Sima family, which might cause the Sima family to rebound. On the contrary, it is not as good as it is now. It grasps Sima’s weakness and nibbles at Sima’s forces a little, making Sima a toothless tiger and eventually a dog that can only wagging his tail.

But even so, at least the Sima family’s name has been preserved for hundreds of years, and if the Sima descendants are struggling, they can also be reused by the royal family, and Qingshi has a name. Only if she became the only victim, she would not know it until she died.

Jin Yang frowned, not intending to argue with Sima Xiang, so he got up impatiently, preparing to leave here.

“I really regret that at the time because of my soft heart, Gu Rujiu did not die on the horse farm!” Sima Xiang sneered. “If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t be wrong, step by step, to the point where I am today.”

Jin Marting stepped in and looked back at the woman in jail. He said coldly: “Every step you take is chosen by yourself. What do you do with others?”

“Oh,” learning that she was hopeless to be rescued, Sima Xiang’s anger had already surpassed her fear. She looked at the emperor above her, and she stopped as she mentioned Gu Rujiu. The jealousy in her heart burned like a wildfire. ” If it were n’t for the Li family ’s son who held her back for a while and delayed my plan, what could she have today? ”

“You bitter, wicked bitter, what kind of grievance did the queen’s mother and you have to do with you?” He Ming cursed, “You are like a viper, but you complain that others are better than you. How is this? reason?”

“Reason?” Sima Xiang stared at He Ming with wide eyes, just like looking at a fool. “There is no reason to say this in this world. I came from a family, and I said that I have a good look, but what use is it in me? From my parents ’point of view, I am a marriage item that can be sacrificed for my family at any time. My brother and I are the same father and mother.

“If I am not cruel to treat myself better, who else is good to me, and who is planning for me?” Sima Xiang’s face smiled a little, “Sima Li and Li Churou have good lives, and they are not dead to me.” In your hands? So instead of reasoning, it is better to rely on your own means. ”

He Ming felt cold in his heart, and a woman who could strike her own family was so cruel that he was not even as good as him. No matter how hard he thinks, no matter how hard he is, he still has a tender heart for his parents and brothers.

“It’s all a family girl, why can Gu Rujiu be more comfortable than me?” Sima Xiang’s face was more jealous, “It’s so uncomfortable to see her smiling innocently and innocently. ,do you know?”

“What on earth does she deserve to be treated differently by your arrogant sons?” Sima Xiang suddenly looked at Jin Yang, “I am prettier and more talented than her, why do you like her?”

She was exhausted, her face twisted, her eyes full of jealousy and anger.

“In my eyes, it is enough to be more beautiful than all women in the world for a long time,” Jin Yang’s eyes fell on her face. “You are not comparable to her.”

“At least, she won’t see others live better than her, so she wants the lives of others.”

“That’s because she hasn’t lived like me,” Sima Xiang sneered. “If she is me, I’m afraid she will be no better than me.”

Jin Yang frowned, and after a while said: “Comparing you with my queen is an insult to her.” After that, he didn’t want to look at Sima Xiang again, turned and walked away.

Sima Xiang was like a lightning strike, staring blankly at the back of the emperor. There was a voice roaring inside, which was unfair, it was unfair!

If she can live in an environment like Gu Rujiu, she will be as innocent and carefree as Gu Rujiu, is she willing?

After the emperor left, He Ming disgusted the next **** and said, “Record what Sima did and send it to Sima Hong and Sima Peng to let them see the upbringing of the Sima family girl.”

Sima Xiang was sitting against the prison door, and when he heard these words from He Ming, he chuckled and said, “I’m already a dying person, and I’m not afraid of what other people think of me.”

“Miss Sima thinks too much,” He Mingpi said with a smile instead of a smile. “You can’t die. This is a peaceful world, how can you talk about life and death?”

How can such a person die easily?

“Miss Sima is unconscious, and she can help her to wake up,” He Ming said wryly, “Miss Sima, remember not to mention the queen’s name at will next time. ”

Respect is different? Sima Xiang looked at He Ming bitterly, but she was lashed into the bone marrow by her.

But said that the master of the three-room Sima family, Sima Peng, suddenly vomited blood and died, and the servants of the three rooms searched for Sima Yue, and finally found the drunk Sima Yue in a Fengyue building.

When Sima Yue woke up, Sima Peng had regained consciousness, and the people in the big room and the second room were guarding him.

Seeing his son come in, Sima Peng gasped and let the servants in the room back down, and then took out the letter sent from the palace, and looked at the Baomei who was sent back to Sanfang with the letter. The son said, “Look at this letter too.”

Sima Zhi saw that the people in the big room and the second room were extremely ugly, especially Ersao’s eyes were crimson. He looked at him like an enemy, so he took the letter from his father uneasy.

Before reading the letter, he knelt in front of Sima Peng’s bed and wept more than once: “Father, the son is not strict in teaching the daughter, causing such a disaster.”

The Suns couldn’t bear it anymore, grabbed Sima Yue forward and tore it up. Sima Bao saw her wife like this, sitting still with red eyes, allowing the wife to scold and beat her cousin.

“Fine,” Sima Hong stood up tremblingly, pointing at Sima Yue who was kneeling on the ground, “Don’t disturb your third uncle to rest, what’s the matter, and I’ll talk about it tomorrow.” Said, he sighed , “I’m old too, it’s time for a job.”

“Father!” Sima Toe supported Sima Hong with red eyes. Forty men, crying, could not restrain themselves.

For a time, the whole room fell into a miserable atmosphere.

In the Zichen Hall, Gu Rujiu approached Jin Yang, and had not spoken yet. The smile on his face sank first.

“Your Majesty, where is the daughter’s fragrance?”

This kind of incense is a rare spice that only aristocratic family can afford.
