In fact, as long as Sima Yao can come here now and give her a step down, Zhang Guiren may not be willing to apologize.
However, now, since His Majesty the Emperor has not come, Xiao Zhang's airs cannot be downgraded.
Sima Daozi had long seen through her bluff and said nonchalantly: "You are His Majesty's concubine. It is your duty to obey His Majesty. Now I am just asking you to apologize. Don't say, at the banquet that day
, you are indeed wrong for your excessive words, even if you are not wrong at all, you still have to apologize."
"Shouldn't you apologize for causing His Majesty's displeasure?"
What Sima Daozi told is the truth, and it is also the consistent behavior style of his Sima brothers. If you say I am right, I will be right, and if I am wrong, I will be right.
If you say you are wrong, you are wrong, and if you are right, you are also wrong.
For someone like Xiao Zhang, Sima Daozi had long wanted to persuade her that she would have a way out in the harem only if she obeyed His Majesty in everything.
She is not a queen, so why are you trying to be strong?
Sima Daozi taught Zhang Guiren this set of metaphysics. Although Xiao Zhang felt unhappy, he did not insist on it anymore.
"It's not impossible to apologize, but you must let me out earlier!"
"Your Majesty didn't tell the king that you could let me out now?"
Sima Daozi was stunned: "This is really not mentioned."
Sima Yao was drunk at the time and was still being pestered by Pei Jiaoer. It was not easy for him to agree to let Sima Daozi come and take a look.
His whole mind was not clear and he couldn't care about anything else.
As for Sima Daozi, he only had good intentions for a moment and did not think carefully. After getting Sima Yao's order, he hurried over.
"Since you didn't say let me out, why should I apologize?"
Zhang Guiren is not a very minded person. If she could go out now, she would be willing to show off her face and be humble.
However, now that I can't get out no matter what I do, it would be better to just stay in the palace for ten days and do nothing.
Seeing her like this, Sima Yao was really worried. Why is this woman so confused and unable to see the situation clearly?
"You guys, please retreat first." He raised his hand and waved it. The guards of Langya Palace were very sensible and retreated immediately.
However, the few young eunuchs responsible for guarding were in a dilemma and they all left. What would happen if something happened?
Several people looked at me and I looked at you, they all looked helpless. When Sima Daozi saw this situation, he immediately became angry.
"If I tell you to leave, just leave. Why bother?"
"Are you looking for death?"
Sima Daozi was not the kind of person who knew how to joke. His cold look scared the young eunuchs away.
"These scumbags deserve a beating!"
Sima Daozi and Zhang Guiren easily reached a consensus on the matter that eunuchs are all low-life.
Seeing that the person following him was gone, Zhang Guiren also breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Qing was very discerning and quietly stood aside without waiting for anyone to say anything.
But they didn't really avoid it completely. After all, this was Zhang Guiren's own bedroom. If they really let them do something unclear and were caught by others, Zhu Qing's own life would be over.
It is still necessary to keep an eye open and watch what they do to prevent unclear things in the future.
After everyone left, Zhang Guiren's attitude immediately changed.
Even Sima Yao's sweet smile, which he might not have seen for a long time, suddenly appeared on his face.
"Your Highness, why don't you say a few words to the slave family and let the slave family go out as soon as possible!"
After saying that, he poured Sima Daozi a glass of wine. Sima Daozi happily accepted it and touched her tender little hand.
Wow, it’s so slippery!
King Langya is indeed young, and youth is good!
If he could be with King Langya, who would have to serve that drunkard Sima Yao?
Neither of them spoke for a while, but their eyes were drawn, and they were going back and forth with enthusiasm.
This kind of skill is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Do you know why Mr. Zhang has not been so attentive to Sima Yao recently, and the soft words he is good at on weekdays have also become less frequent.
That's all because people's cautious thoughts have drifted to other people.
Why are there drinks on the clean table? Doesn’t that mean Zhang Guiren is acting appropriately?
After those annoying little eunuchs left, Zhang Guiren immediately took action and served Sima Daozi his favorite wine.
If it weren't for the fact that it was broad daylight, the table between the two of them would have been moved aside by her long ago.
"How can I know what the queen is thinking?"
"It's just that with such power, there's nothing I can do about it!" Sima Daozi looked helpless and slumped his shoulders. When Zhang Guiren saw this, he became even more angry.
This is really unreasonable!
"King Langya, tell me honestly, has your Majesty never mentioned me in the past two days?"
"That Pei Jiao'er, is he by His Majesty's side every day?"
Isn't this asking questions knowingly? Everyone has already entered the palace, and Sima Yao can still let it go without enjoying it. How is that possible?
"My queen, you don't have to say that. Your Majesty always has to have some newcomers by his side."
"snort!"
"Newcomer!"
"Isn't it you who introduced the newcomer to His Majesty?"
"Besides, she is already married, so she is not considered a newcomer!"
Tsk tsk, this Xiao Zhang, it’s wrong to talk like this. The so-called old and new are always relative, there are no certain rules.
As long as Sima Yao likes him now, he is a newcomer.
Zhang Guiren was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked Sima Daozi in the calf. Sima Daozi smiled and didn't take it seriously at all.
"Mother, this is not good."
"Hitting is affection, scolding is love. Could it be that the empress is my brother's relative?"
The two of them were flirting like this without anyone noticing, and they didn't make too much noise, but they didn't dare to do anything practical and scandalous. At best, they just stayed at the level of touching.
Zhang Guiren finally smiled.
"Let me ask you, why did you introduce that Pei Jiao'er to His Majesty?"
"If I fall out of favor, you will have one less person to turn a deaf ear to His Majesty. Don't you think it's a pity?"
This breakthrough point was found very well, which shows that Xiao Zhang still has some sense.
For Sima Daozi to be trusted by Sima Yao in this way, it was indispensable that the people around him played the drums and turned their backs on him.
The biggest contributor is Zhang Guiren and Wang Guobao.
Both of these two people have an unclear relationship with Sima Daozi. Rather than saying that they support Sima Yao, it is better to say that they use Sima Yao's hand to consolidate Sima Daozi's power and push Sima Daozi's status further and further.
The higher.
Even now, some voices are gradually emerging. Those treacherous sycophants who surround Sima Daozi all day long even hope that Sima Daozi will directly become the emperor, and Sima Yao can go and have a rest.
"What a pity!" Sima Daozi said vaguely with yellow soup in his mouth.
"Think about it, if I could sit on that throne, wouldn't your little side wind be unnecessary?"
In front of Zhang Guiren, Sima Daozi spoke his heart frankly. He was sure that Zhang Guiren and he were of the same mind.
"His Highness said it was easy, can he really do it?" Zhang Guiren did not hide it at all.
However, compared to the sworn Sima Daozi, Zhang Guiren was still a little less courageous. Although Sima Yao was drunk all day long, it had to be said that he was still very strong. If he wanted to abdicate in favor of someone more powerful, he would have no choice.
It is different from wishful thinking.
Sima Daozi leaned forward and blew into Zhang Guiren's ear: "Be careful, it's all up to you!"
"Look at me?"
"what can I do?"
The wind in her ears tickled her, and she quickly retracted her body. Although, the courtyard was safe at the moment, no one could tell whether someone might be spying on her.
If someone sees this and spreads his talk to Sima Yao, with his suspicious personality, Zhang Guiren will definitely not look good.
Perhaps Sima Daozi could escape unscathed.
"Of course you are helping me confuse the Sacred Heart!"
"Think about it, if His Majesty the Emperor were in high spirits now and took matters into his own hands, would those government affairs still be left in my hands?"
Sima Daozi pointed out the problem. He had a huge appetite. Even though Sima Yao now relied heavily on him and would hide almost all major military and state affairs from him, he was still not satisfied.
What's the point of hearing second-hand news from Sima Yao? Isn't it that you have to be controlled by your own brother?
These government affairs should be handed over directly to his hands, Sima Daozi, so that they can be put to their best use.
The key point is, Sima Yao relies on Sima Daozi and praises him as a heroic young man every day. Sima Daozi is even more exaggerated than Sima Yao.
Not only did he take Sima Yao's praise to heart, but he also added various auras to it. He really thought that he was Zhuge's mighty son Sun Quan when he was still alive!
In fact, he is not even worthy of carrying someone's shoes.
"Of course not."
"So, do you want me to entangle His Majesty so that he has no time to deal with government affairs?"
As I said a long time ago, although Zhang Guiren has an arrogant personality, he is not stupid either. Sima Daozi nodded happily: "That's exactly what I mean."
"So, be careful. I introduced Mrs. Pei to the palace not to share your favor, but to attract more people to your majesty so that I can take more of the court affairs into my hands."
"You don't know that the desire of those ministers in the imperial court to sideline me is getting stronger and stronger."
"They don't want the Sima family to get back on their feet at all. They just want to continue to use us as a memorial tablet and enshrine it there."
"Before, I still hoped that my eldest brother could eradicate the traitors in the court. Now it seems that I have to do this myself!"
Sima Daozi's eyes were on fire and he gritted his teeth and said.
He is not bragging, nor is he deliberately deceiving Xiao Zhang. What he is saying now is his deepest true thoughts.
"So, His Highness wants to replace him?" After saying these words, Xiao Zhang himself shuddered.
This is too scary!
Why should she know such a confidential matter? It felt like it was completely beyond her control.
Now that the mask has been torn off, Sima Daozi no longer intends to hide it. Zhang Guiren poured him another glass of wine. He drank it down and felt that it was not enough, so he simply snatched the wine jar and drank it himself.
Pour yourself and drink.
In less than a moment, I finished five bowls in a row!
Drinking makes you brave!
After five bowls of wine, Sima Daozi felt as if he had been injected with chicken blood. His eyes glowed red and he began to speak awkwardly.
But even though I was tongue-tied, I felt more courageous.
The thoughts that I usually kept in my heart and didn’t dare to reveal to others came out one by one.
"certainly!"
"I am more suitable for the position of emperor than my eldest brother!"
"When I become emperor, be careful and you won't be lonely. Following me is much better than following your elder brother!"
"Be careful, you will be blessed when the time comes!"
He made such a loud noise that Zhang Guiren was very nervous. He wanted to stop him, but he couldn't. Fortunately, all the young eunuchs had been sent out, otherwise they would have caused big trouble.
"Be careful, don't worry, I won't let that old man torment you!" Sima Daozi lay on the table and was already going to meet Duke Zhou.
There is something good about him. Although he has a bad drinking habit and cannot do without a bottle of wine all day long, he is not so noisy after he is drunk.
But it is quite difficult to say a few drunken words without laughing out loud or singing and dancing.
Zhang Guiren wanted to call his guards in quickly and deal with it, but he suddenly heard these words and stopped immediately.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
Could it be that he has any next plans?
At this time, Sima Daozi was on the verge of falling asleep, drooling, but his eyelids were opening and closing, but he was still conscious.
"Your Majesty, please tell me immediately!"
Zhang Guiren was also anxious. He didn't care that there might be an informant around him, so he pushed him a few times. It was obvious that Sima Daozi did not intend to say this last drunken remark.
And these words were closely related to her Xiao Zhang. If she didn’t seize the opportunity to ask them this time, when Sima Daozi woke up, she wouldn’t be able to ask a single word!
"Medicine!"
"Pei Jiao'er has medicine on her body!" Sima Daozi murmured.
"Is there any medicine?"
"What medicine?"
"Poison!"
Zhang Guiren suddenly became nervous and thought to himself, this Pei family's way is quite wild!
He actually used ruthless moves right from the start, which, I have to say, impressed Xiao Zhang. She gave Sima Daozi a few more hints and urged him to continue talking.
Not to be missed!
"It's not poison."
"It's... a medicine that makes people happy!"
A happy pill?
Zhang Guiren had little experience and was young, so he really couldn't understand what he was saying. He kept asking questions, and Sima Daozi finally uttered a few words vaguely at the last moment before falling asleep.
"It's medicine to be taken internally."
Um, is it that kind of thing?
Zhang Guiren’s little face turned red!
The medicine taken internally sounds elegant, but in fact it is not a secret in the inner palace. Isn't there such a medicine that can double people's energy and make them particularly brave?
This so-called medicine was also very popular in the ancient palace. There were hundreds of women in the harem, but there was only one emperor.
The emperor, the emperor, is such a good errand, the flowers are becoming more and more charming, and there are little beauties like green onions everywhere. The emperor loves this one and can't let go of that one.
The body is gradually being hollowed out...
How can I survive without taking some big tonic?
Therefore, these various tonics, which were marketed to the emperor to strengthen his body, became very popular in the inner palace, although it was unclear whether they were tonics or pleasure medicines.
Zhang Guiren collapsed on the ground, completely stunned.
I didn’t expect that Mr. Pei could do this!
How could she fight against such a capable person!
