King Lingyu

When the imperial garden was already very lively, a father-in-law first walked up to the eldest princess and Sima Lingyu, and made a big gift, "I have seen the eldest princess and Mrs. Foreboss. The emperor and the empress dowager have ordered you to go to the Yuhua Palace for the evening." meal."

Sima Lingyu and the eldest princess agreed to go to Yuhua Palace first, and heard the voice of the father-in-law behind him, "The Empress Dowager has a decree, please come to Yuhua Palace to share the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

When everyone arrived, Sima Lingyu and the eldest princess were already seated.Every time the banquet in the palace is the same, the seats are strictly according to the rank.Since Sima Lingyu was the forehead son-in-law, he sat next to the princess on the left hand side of the empress dowager.

At the beginning of the banquet, the emperor and the empress dowager briefly said a few polite words to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.After that, enjoy various singing and dancing performances and the like.Lively is lively, but nothing new.

During the dinner, Sima Lingyu saw the emperor winking at her, and thought he had something to ask her, but today, maybe the empress dowager saw that the eldest princess was polite to her, and she was in a good mood, and asked this and that with concern, so she also left no.In fact, it wasn't that the eldest princess was being polite to her all of a sudden, it was really just because Sima Lingyu was by her side. If she contradicted the empress dowager, she was afraid that the empress dowager would turn her anger on Sima Lingyu, so she had to force a smile.

After suffering like this for half an hour, the Empress Dowager finally said that she was tired and was going back to Yanshou Palace to rest, and let everyone have fun.She also knew that when she was here, these young people were uncomfortable and always reserved.Fortunately, Su Ying didn't make any trouble today, it seems that her temper has softened after marriage.

As soon as the empress dowager left, the emperor couldn't sit still any longer, and after winking with Sima Lingyu, he walked out of the hall and arrived at the entrance of Wande Hall.

Sima Lingyu talked to the eldest princess again, and also got up and left the hall. She didn't know that Jingwen Gege followed her just after she came out.

Jingwen Gege didn't know that Sima Lingyu was going to meet the emperor, she was just eager to find an opportunity to explain to her, the princess was always in the palace, she couldn't say anything, she still had so many eyes!

As a result, Sima Lingyu just walked towards the emperor, the emperor turned around, Sima Lingyu raised his hand and saluted, "My brother has seen the emperor!".

The emperor patted Sima Lingyu on the shoulder, "You are here!"

Naturally, the emperor also saw Jingwen Gege behind Sima Lingyu, and said, "Isn't this Jingwen Gege? Why do you come out to get some air?"

The emperor originally wanted to arrange for them to meet alone tonight, but it seems that there is no need to bother. "Forehead son-in-law, you haven't seen Jingwen Gege yet, have you? Come, let me introduce you."

Sima Lingyu turned around when she heard the words, and found Jingwen Gege behind her.

The emperor continued, "Jingwen Gege is the youngest daughter of Prince Su. She likes to dance with guns and clubs, and she is as good as a man. She is especially good at dancing whips. She likes to dress up as a man and go around the city on weekdays!"

Sima Lingyu looked at Jingwen Gege and listened to the emperor's words, as if he had just woken up from a dream. "Brother Huang, you don't know, this is not the first time that my younger brother and Jingwen Gege have met."

"Oh? Why, did you know each other before?" The emperor asked Sima Lingyu, but he looked at Jingwen Gege.

"Yes, brother," Jing Wengege saw the emperor was there, and she didn't know how to explain it to Sima Lingyu, but she didn't expect the emperor to help her, and there was a hint of joy in her heart. We met when we were listening to books in the city half a month ago, but at that time—"

"Oh, I understand. You were a woman disguised as a man at the time, right?" The emperor suddenly realized that the two of them had known each other a long time ago, and it was easier to handle things because of their emotional foundation.

"So that's the case. No wonder I met Jingwen Gege in the Yanshou Palace just now, and I felt very familiar." Sima Lingyu said emphatically, "Brother Huang, this capital is really big or small. I know Jingwen Gege well. , did not reveal their identities to the other party, did not expect that they are all members of my Sima family."

"Haha," the emperor smiled, "That's very good. At the beginning of next month, I will arrange to go hunting in Mount Meng. You come too."

"Your brother obeys!" Sima Lingyu guessed that this was specially arranged by the emperor for her and Jingwen Gege, and sure enough——

The emperor asked Jingwen Gege again, "Would you like to go with me?"

Jingwen Gege naturally wanted to see it, but women were never allowed to participate in this hunt.She subconsciously glanced at Sima Lingyu, "Chenmei has long wanted to witness the grand hunting scene, but—"

The emperor saw Jingwen Gege's concerns, "I will make an order when the time comes, and I think you, Ama, will agree. It's just that you'd better wear men's clothes, it will be more convenient."

"Yes, my sister obeys!" Jingwen Gege was very happy in her heart. She was not a delicate woman by nature. Although she was not proficient in riding and shooting, she liked it very much.

"Then it's settled like this. Let's go back and drink. Don't let down the beautiful scenery of the full moon." The emperor led the two into the hall again.

Sima Lingyu and Jingwen Gege walked behind the emperor, Jingwen Gege secretly tugged on Sima Lingyu's cuff, and whispered, "Tomorrow's old place!"

Sima Lingyu understood, smiled and nodded.

By the way, the banquet ended late, and when everyone was almost gone, the emperor took a chance and called Sima Lingyu aside, "Have you started preparing for what I told you last time?" The emperor meant that Sima Lingyu It's a matter of swapping posts.

Sima Lingyu shook his head helplessly, "Brother, don't worry, this matter will take some time to start."

"Why?" The emperor was indeed a little anxious, and now the empress dowager has not delegated power for a long time.

"Currently, my brother's house is not clean. I didn't clean up the eyeliner of all kinds of people, so I didn't dare to act rashly. I was really afraid of ruining the matter of the emperor." Sima Lingyu was telling the truth. The empress dowager's eyeliner If she doesn't get rid of it for a day, she can't move for a day. "However, don't worry, Brother Huang, it will be soon."

A Yue came to report almost every two days, and someone from the house disappeared for no apparent reason, and those who disappeared were all members of Steward Qi's family.Sima Lingyu also saw with his own eyes that Steward Qi was worried recently, and sometimes looked flustered.

It was the Eldest Princess who made the move, so she would save herself the trouble. She thought that all the eyeliners on her site would have to be cleaned up sooner or later, but she didn't expect the Eldest Princess to do it before her.

After the banquet was over, when Sima Lingyu and the eldest princess returned to the Prince Consort's mansion, it was already past time, she sent the eldest princess back to her room, and she also went back to her room.

Not long after entering the room, Steward Qi knocked on the door and said he had something important to do.Sima Lingyu opened the door, only to see that Steward Qi entered, closed the door, turned around and knelt down in front of her with a plop.

Seeing this, Sima Lingyu hurried to help him, "Steward Qi, what are you doing? Speak up if you have something to say."

Not only did Steward Qi not get up, but he continued to kowtow to Sima Lingyu, saying, "My lord, this slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die, please spare this slave!"

Sima Lingyu probably guessed what was going on, but still pretended not to know, "Steward Qi, what are you talking about, I don't understand, you should get up and talk first."

Steward Qi still didn't get up, but stopped kowtowing, "My lord, even if this slave has a hundred heads, he doesn't dare to take care of his affairs. The slave is coerced by others, and he has no choice but to do this."

"Steward Qi, you've confused me, what's going on, and why are you coerced by someone?"

Just one question made Guan Jia, who was kneeling on the ground, burst into tears.
