091 The Royal Family of Internal and External Troubles
Small families have the disadvantages of small families, but big families also have the troubles of big families. Small families understand their own weakness and know that it will be difficult to survive alone, so they understand the importance of unity. Born in a big family
The people in the family are accustomed to living a pampered life and are unaware of possible dangers, so many times, they only think about themselves.
Especially for families with numerous entangled interests, intrigues and intrigues are inevitable.
Although the Wang family cannot compare with the five first-class families in terms of strength, those who can have their own place in the imperial capital are, if not first-class, then second-class. Moreover, the Wang family is also highly regarded by the Jin royal family, and its influence and interests are even greater.
It's huge, so naturally some intrigues are inevitable.
If it were normal times, these intrigues and overt and covert battles would naturally not affect the overall situation.
However, now that the whereabouts of Wang Su and several elders are unknown, and there is even a 90% chance that they are all dead, the Wang family has completely lost someone who can stabilize the situation. Wang Yuanji is very clear that some people in the family are now
He has already begun to use his brain, either planning to seek refuge with Sima Cheng or preparing to reap benefits.
Some people even came over from time to time to hint that she should understand the situation and marry Sima Cheng.
For the sake of their own survival and interests, these people were obviously ready to give up on her. Of course, there were only a few who dared to do so blatantly. There were still a few who still adhered to their principles and were unwilling to surrender to Sima Cheng, while many more remained neutral.
, silent.
However, as time passed, just a few days later, when the entire imperial capital was enveloped in a tense atmosphere, there were fewer and fewer neutral people, and more people began to lean towards the former, causing the Wang family to be completely divided into
Two factions.
Even before Sima Cheng sent anyone to call, internal fighting had already begun in the family. This situation made Wang Yuanji feel very uncomfortable, but she never expressed any opinions from beginning to end.
Although she is not a dull person, she does not have much experience in family management, and to be honest, no matter how much she talks at this time, it is not as convincing as a sword.
The only thing she can rely on is her own sword, and she will only rely on her own sword. Of course, if possible, she is not averse to relying on someone, but for now, the current scene is not that person.
It can be solved.
Although she knew very well that no matter how hard it was, he would definitely come!
Wang Yuanji was thinking about her thoughts and practicing her sword in the yard. Not long after, the maid suddenly ran over and said, "Miss, the princess is here."
"Princess?" Wang Yuanji seemed stunned for a moment, then said: "I understand, I will go to greet her right away."
"There's no need, I'm already here." Before Wang Yuanji could sheath her sword, a girl in gorgeous clothes walked in from outside the courtyard and said, "I came uninvited, Yuanji, you won't blame me, right?"
The person who came was none other than Sima Qingshuang, the princess of Jin Dynasty.
Sima Qingshuang is about the same age as Wang Yuanji. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has outstanding qualifications. She is a rare figure in the royal family for decades. If Wang Yuanji had not been there, she would have been qualified enough to become the number one young person in the Jin Kingdom.
status.
What's even more valuable is that she also has great leadership talent. She is commanding the entire Imperial Guard. After the emperor left and disappeared now, most of the power of the Jin Kingdom fell into her hands.
When Wang Yuanji saw her arriving, she immediately greeted her with a smile, "Haha, the princess is joking. It's rare for Her Royal Highness to come to see me. How could I be angry?"
Facing different people, Wang Yuanji has different attitudes. If it is the kind of person she hates or hates, she will treat it coldly without any pretense, or she may even not say a word and just draw a sword. But when
When she faces someone with whom she has a certain affection, no matter what she says or does, there is a feeling of spring breeze.
From a certain point of view, this can be regarded as talking about people and talking about ghosts.
When the princess arrived, Wang Yuanji first asked the maid to prepare tea and snacks, and then she and Sima Qingshuang sat in the yard and started chatting. Not long after chatting, Sima Qingshuang asked: "Yuanji, how is the situation here?
?”
Wang Yuanji knew what she was asking, and said with a wry smile: "What else can be done? Sima Cheng has put too much pressure on the Wang family. Many people in the family have begun to consider their options. If they weren't still worried about something, I'm afraid they wouldn't wait until Sima Cheng
If we send people to fight, the Wang family's centuries-old foundation will be destroyed by internal fighting."
Speaking of this, Wang Yuanji was also a little helpless. Although the Wang family had a certain status in the imperial capital and would not be timid even when facing people from the five major families, in general, the foundation was still too shallow.
The current glory of the Wang family is basically all because of Wang Su and the emperor's regard for the Wang family. In the eyes of some people, the Wang family can only be regarded as a nouveau riche. Therefore, when Wang Su and several elders have all disappeared, external pressure
Once pressed, the shortcomings of the Wang family were completely exposed.
On the contrary, although the truly first-class families such as the Yan family and the Ye family are in a similar situation, there has been no change in the family. They are still in good order and will not panic due to the disappearance of the family head.
"I never thought that a scumbag like Sima Cheng would appear among the royal family. I'm really sorry for you, Wu Ji." Sima Qingshuang can imagine the pressure Wang Yuanji is under now that the Wang family is facing external and internal troubles.
How huge it is, because her current situation, except that she is not forced to marry, is similar to Wang Yuanji.
She usually managed the imperial capital in an orderly manner, but now, less than a few days later, she felt as if half of it had escaped her control. This feeling made her very uneasy and stressed.
"Sima Cheng is Sima Cheng, and the princess is a princess. You don't need to apologize on his behalf." Wang Yuanji chuckled.
Sima Qingshuang nodded, and then comforted: "But Yuanji, you don't have to worry too much. I contacted the emperor three days ago, and he will bring people back soon. As long as the emperor is in charge,
I'm sorry that Sima Cheng can't stir up any trouble... In short, I will never let you be forced to marry him!"
The imperial brother Sima Qingshuang mentioned was Sima Kong, the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty. He once pursued Wang Yuanji, but was declined by Wang Yuanji. However, he was very graceful and stopped pestering after being rejected. He is currently studying at the Jianwu Academy.
This time, the Emperor of Jin mobilized most of the royal family's masters for the ancient holy objects. The only forces left in the imperial capital were the Imperial Guards who could be controlled by Sima Qingshuang and some dead soldiers. This power could only maintain the daily life of the imperial capital.
order, but could not suppress the suddenly strong Sima Cheng.
Wang Yuanji was not surprised that Sima Qingshuang would summon Prince Sima Kong at this time.
Listening to Sima Qingshuang's vowing tone, Wang Yuanji did not respond, but said seriously: "Actually, I think that instead of focusing on me, the princess should pay more attention to the palace guards. Sima Cheng's behavior may not
It’s so simple on the surface.”
"What do you mean?" Sima Qingshuang couldn't help but be stunned.
"If it was just Sima Cheng, he might have been able to do something like forced marriage if he had a hot head, but this happened too coincidental." After a pause, Wang Yuanji said in a deep voice, "The holy object appeared, His Majesty and several
All the masters from the big family are missing in Tianqi Mountain. It has only been two days since the news reached the imperial capital. Instead of sending people to find his father, Sima Cheng forced me to marry him. This thing itself is strange enough.
What’s even more strange is that his retainers actually obeyed his ridiculous instructions..."
Sima Qingshuang's eyes suddenly twitched, "What do you mean?"
"According to my understanding of Sima Cheng, given his personality, it is difficult for him to have such thunderous methods, so I guess the person who is really leading these events is not Sima Cheng, but the mighty prince Sima Ling. But I
I don’t think Prince Shenwei would do anything for a little woman like me.”
Wang Yuanji looked at Sima Qingshuang and said seriously: "So I think that Sima Cheng is probably just trying to attract attention by forcing me to marry so blatantly. If this is true, then there must be a huge conspiracy behind them!"
"You... said it very well." After hearing Wang Yuanji's words, Sima Qingshuang frowned immediately. In fact, with her wisdom, she should have thought of this earlier, but because of the chaos and tension in the imperial capital in recent days,
The atmosphere made her lose some sense of proportion, which led to her ignoring the past.
But now that Wang Yuanji has pointed this out, Sima Qingshuang also understands that the matter seems to be more serious than she imagined.
If this matter was really planned by the mighty prince Sima Ling for a long time, it would be reasonable for her to be unable to stop it with her means and strength.

My head is a little groggy today, and with Calvin, I'm not very good at coding this chapter, so I'll just make do with it.
