The sound of the piano was still melodious and cold. Sima Yixuan and Sima Rong were relatively silent, listening to the sound of the piano quietly, each with their own thoughts.
Suddenly, Sima Rong seemed to have remembered something, and said with a smile: "By the way, Your Majesty, there is such a good tea, it is really unreasonable not to let Yi'er come over to try it, why not let her come over and have a drink together?"
Sima Yixuan did not comment. Gan Nan secretly glanced at Sima Rong and wondered why he was so generous. He had always liked Cong Yi'er so much. Now that Cong Yi'er was staying in his house, he should be careful not to let the emperor see it.
That's right, why is it so urgent?
Liu He immediately went to invite Cong Xiai and Cong Yi'er. After a while, he heard the sound of someone approaching, and Liu He's voice could be vaguely heard. He didn't seem to mention that Sima Yixuan was here in his words.
"The prince said that this tea is new, and specially invited Miss Cong and Princess Ai to try it. Princess Hui is inconvenient and not suitable for drinking tea, so the prince did not invite her."
Hearing the voice behind him, Sima Yixuan still didn't look back. Hearing Cong Xiai's voice, he was surprised and said softly: "So your emperor is here. Then let's stay away."
"It's okay." Sima Rong said happily, "The emperor is also happy today and in a good mood. Come to the mansion to have a cup of new tea. You are not outsiders, so why should you avoid it? Come on, Yi'er, come and sit."
Cong Yi'er didn't seem to be surprised. She walked to the table with Cong Xiai, bowed quietly, and said gently: "I have met the emperor."
Sima Yixuan looked at Cong Yi'er indifferently and waved his hand, "That's all, there are no outsiders, no need to be polite, just sit down wherever you want."
Cong Yi'er sat down at the table, looking calm. Gan Nan had a rather strange feeling. It seemed that if he didn't know about the emperor and Miss Cong, he would think that they didn't know each other at all, or were not familiar with each other.
, just a stranger. Cong Yi'er's attitude made his heart tighten, which was an inexplicable feeling of distress. Cong Yi'er lost a lot of weight, became more and more energetic, and his expression was also light, neither close nor distant.
appearance.
"Are you feeling better?" Sima Yixuan looked at Cong Xiai and asked calmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I'm feeling much better now." Cong Xiai said gently, "It's just that I accidentally caught a cold a few days ago. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Cong Yier took the tea handed over by Sima Rong, took a sip, smiled, and said in a calm tone: "It already smells like summer, and the sunshine seems much brighter. Thinking about it, I really feel nostalgic. If
I will really miss it if I leave."
"Where are you going?" Sima Rong was stunned and asked.
Cong Yier smiled faintly and said, "You are really sensitive. I just said it casually. Where can I go? I'm just thinking about it."
"By the way, you have to bless the emperor. He already has a queen now. To be precise, he should have a queen soon. The emperor personally helped him choose her. She is a beautiful and lovely woman." Sima
Rong smiled and said, "I just heard it mentioned by the Supreme Emperor today. It seems that my grandfather is very happy. I heard that he is the prime minister's daughter?"
Gan Nan suddenly understood that this was Sima Rong's intention! He immediately looked at Cong Yi'er.
Cong Yier gently put down the tea cup in her hand, her face was calm, and there was no trace of sadness or joy. It was as if Sima Rong was just a stranger and had nothing to do with her. "How could the Daxing Dynasty not have a queen? This is so gratifying.
It's a congratulatory thing. Your Majesty, it's time to congratulate you properly. I heard from Xiai that the prime minister's daughter is a well-educated person who is excellent at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The Emperor has a good eye."
Everyone was stunned. Cong Yi'er's words sounded so calm and gentle, without the slightest surprise. It seemed that this was the most normal thing. However, everyone knew that she was supposed to be the one Sima Yixuan wanted to marry.
Man, why didn't she react to this news at all?
Sima Yixuan smiled bitterly in his heart and tightened in pain, but he couldn't show it on his face. He just said lightly with an indifferent voice and expression: "Thank you."
Cong Xiai lowered her head, she was already married, what could she do? Why did her heart still hurt so much when she heard that he was going to marry another woman? The medicine was still hidden close to her chest, but she never had the courage to take it.
Like A'e asked, "Do you really have the courage to forget Prince Xuan?" She couldn't forget, really couldn't forget!
Cong Yi'er smiled faintly. She always smiled so faintly. She looked distant and indifferent, as if she was always half-heartedly distracted. "Xiai, there is Arhat grass over there. I can use it to make puppies." Her eyes looked at her.
Looking at the large patch of foxtail grass in the sun, it's called Arhat grass, a more beautiful name, and it grows in an inconspicuous corner.
Sima Yixuan watched Cong Yi'er stand up. She had lost weight, and her clothes moved slightly with her movements in the breeze. She was elegant and calm, but she was far away and unreachable. She picked a lot of them.
Arhat grass has a calm smile on its face, and there is deep sadness in the smile. In each movement, it slowly disperses all the sadness.
Her hands were weaving quietly, with a faint expression on her face. The green and furry dog's tail grass was quietly woven together in her hands, clustering into a cute puppy. There was a faint smile on her lips.
Laughing, but not seeing happiness.
Cong Yier's heart ached so much that she was about to go crazy. However, she could only weave the puppy in her hands with all her heart, using all her concentration to distract the pain in her heart. She no longer loved her, she really didn't love her anymore.
Is everything so simple? Or, it has always been just a dream. I refused to wake up, and now I have to wake up.
"Haha, she is really beautiful and cute." Sima Rong said happily. Now, he can talk to Cong Yi'er freely. It is really a very happy thing. Sima Yixuan became the emperor and had to choose a new one.
The queen, no matter what the reason was, he got such an opportunity out of thin air to marry Cong Yi'er. This was his luck. He sat next to Cong Yi'er and took the money from Cong Yi'er's hand.
She passed the knitted puppy and asked, "Can you give it to me?"
"I want to send Xiai off." Cong Yi'er said calmly, without sadness or joy.
Sima Yixuan felt annoyed because Sima Rong was obviously doing this for him. He coughed slightly, and Sima Rong looked up at him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Liu He, go and let me know.
There are good meals prepared in the mansion, and my nephew will definitely stay with the emperor to eat in the mansion today."
Sima Yixuan said coldly: "Well, there are still many things to deal with in the palace. I don't have time to stay here. You can eat by yourself. I mean, you are still an unmarried woman, so you should be more careful.
To prevent others from gossiping."
Cong Yi'er didn't even raise her head, and said slowly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I just ask Your Majesty to remember to call Miss Cong. If your title at this time is spread, I'm afraid that Yi'er will also be gossiped about."
of."
Sima Yixuan said angrily: "This is my world. How do I call you? Does it have to be agreed by the people in the world?"
Cong Yier said calmly: "It's up to you."
Gan Nan's heart skipped a beat. The emperor was angry. Normally, the emperor would not show anger on his face like this. Only Cong Yi'er could control the emperor's emotions so easily.
"You guys step back, I have something to say to Yi'er." Sima Yixuan said a little stiffly.
Sima Rong seemed to not want to leave, but after hesitating, he stood up and left. He smiled at Cong Yi'er and said softly: "How about I let the house cook your favorite dish?"
"Okay." Cong Yi'er said simply.
"Sima Rong." Sima Yixuan was a little annoyed and scolded, "Is it so difficult to retreat?"
"No." Sima Rong said with a smile, "The emperor personally gave the decree to allow his nephew to marry Yi'er. When she stays in Prince Rong's palace, no one will dare to gossip, right? The emperor does not need to blame Yi'er.
, She is a guest invited by my nephew, she did not deliberately stay away. "
Sima Yixuan gave Sima Rong a cold look, indifferent and speechless.
Cong Xiai stood up and said softly to Sima Rong: "Your Majesty, since the Emperor is looking for trouble, it would be better to stay away."
Sima Rong hesitated for a moment, then smiled softly, and said as if unintentionally: "Yes, maybe the emperor wants to talk to Yi'er. Yi'er, please give me a good blessing for the emperor. As you said, the future queen empress
He must be an outstanding person, and I am really happy for the emperor. Your Majesty, I wish you to stay here. If you have something to say, please speak slowly. The ministers will leave first. This is to prepare a sumptuous meal. I hope the emperor can stay in the mansion and have dinner together.
.”
Cong Xiai lowered her head and followed Sima Rong away. A voice quietly passed into Cong Yi'er's ears, "Yier, if anything happens, call me at any time. I'm not far away. Your Majesty, he should not
I will make things difficult for you, but I don’t know what happened, so I have to do it.”
Cong Yi'er didn't react at all. She sat quietly, but her heart was already ups and downs, and her whole body was tense, as if she would tremble at any time.
"You should retreat first." Sima Yixuan didn't look back and said calmly to Gan Nan who was standing behind him, "I want to be alone with Yi'er for a while without anyone disturbing me."
Gan Nan responded and retreated.
"Yi'er." Sima Yixuan said calmly, pointing to the chair in front of him, where Sima Rong was sitting just now, "Come and sit here, I have something to ask you."
Cong Yi'er sat quietly without moving, and said calmly: "You can also hear the emperor's words here. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Sima Yixuan paused and said gently, "Do you like Sima Rong? He likes you very much. He has mentioned to me several times that he wants to marry you into the family. What do you think?"
Cong Yier smiled slightly, but she sighed in her heart, people are really strange animals, how can they still laugh in this situation?! How can people deceive themselves like this? She just wants to find someone with no one at this time.
Stay in a quiet place and don't let anyone notice. "The emperor has many things to do every day, so why worry about Cong Yi'er's personal affairs so much? There should be no need to report to you who Cong Yi'er likes and doesn't like. This should not be related to Daxing.
The kingdom of the dynasty, right?"
"Yi'er, like this, I'm really -" Sima Yixuan couldn't express the pain in his heart, seeing Sima Rong approaching Cong Yi'er so closely and taking away the small Arahant from Cong Yi'er.
When he was making a puppy made of straw, when he saw Sima Rong's fingers touching Cong Yi'er's hand intentionally or unintentionally, his heart was about to collapse. In fact, he really didn't want anyone to touch Cong Yi'er.
For example, his life cannot be desecrated by anyone. However, "If you can really accept Sima Rong, I can marry you immediately, and you can become Sima Rong's and only one. No woman can ever share it with you."
