Huan Rong

On the day Huan Wen returned to Beijing, there was a big banquet in the mansion.

Sima Huan and Princess Nankang sat at the head together, and Huan Rong and Huan Yi took their seats in turn.Mrs. Li and the other two concubines could not attend the table. In the end, it was Princess Nankang who decided to set up another low table and a standing screen on the lower right side of Sima Huan.

"All sit down."

Mrs. Li generously agreed, and smiled like a flower facing the main table.

Murong and Ma were a little trembling, and looked more and more pitiful.It's a pity that Huan Da Sima Sao didn't even glance at him, he just waved his hands casually, his eyes only paused for a moment on Mrs. Li, and then raised his glass.During the entire family banquet, I only talked to Princess Nankang and her two sons, and the concubine room did not exist.

Huan Wen toasted, Princess Nankang could sit down, Huan Rong and Huan Yi stood up at the same time, respectfully said: "Father, drink up!"

"good!"

Huan Wen was born in a noble family but was promoted to the army. He stayed in the barracks all year round and had an extraordinary capacity for alcohol.

In the blink of an eye, half a pot of hot wine was drunk, and his complexion did not change at all.Huan Yi inherited a lot from his own father, after three cups, his face was only slightly red, but Huan Rong couldn't hold it anymore.

"Exchange honey water for my lord."

When Princess Nankang spoke, the servants immediately removed the wine cups and brought new honey water.

Huan Rong heaved a sigh of relief, Huan Wen couldn't help frowning, looking at Huan Rong with a little displeasure.

"Gua'er is already in the year of dancing elephants, why can't he drink alcohol?"

"Master, Gua'er has been in poor health since he was a child." Princess Nankang didn't give Huan Da Sima any face, and said with a smile, "In addition to being injured a few days ago, I have been recuperating these days. Three lamps are already too much. My husband should always be considerate. .”

Dare to say that Guaer is not, believe it or not, she rushed directly to the aunt to arrest him? !Do you think it's enough to play a few boards and give some pearls?

Huan Rong is the converse of Princess Nankang, whoever touches him will be unlucky, and Sima Huan is no exception.

"Come on." Huan Wen raised the wine cup, raised his head and drank it down, looked at Huan Yi who was cutting open the leg of lamb, and said, "Since you have achieved success in martial arts, come with me to Gushu next month."

Huan Yi froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Princess Nankang.

A teenage boy, even though he bears the name of being stupid, is not really stupid after all.Since the death of his biological mother, he has been following Princess Nankang and has a natural closeness to his aunt.Sima Huan would occasionally talk to him when he thought of it, but afterwards he would always be bullied by his three brothers.

For a long time, Huan Yi completely avoided his own father, which made Sima Huan even more displeased with him.

Now, Sima Huan suddenly became "closer" to him and wanted to take him to the Gushu military camp. Huan Yi's first reaction was not joy, but panic.

Seeing Huan Yi's blank expression, Huan Wen frowned again.

Princess Nankang sneered, put down the wine cup with a bang, and said, "My husband will leave Jiankang next month? Are you going to stay in the mansion or go to camp outside the city?"

"Naturally stay in the mansion." The topic changed, and Huan Wen was distracted.Huan Yi suddenly felt the pressure relieved.

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient." Princess Nankang smiled, but her words were like ice balls.

"There are more than a dozen beauties waiting in the big camp outside the city. I heard that they are all in good color, no less than the Murong family that was sent a few days ago. Da Sima Yue will come back once a long time, won't you miss her?"

After the voice fell, the air in the room suddenly condensed.

Princess Nankang didn't take it seriously, she raised the wine cup against the screen and drank half of it with a smile.

Huan Rong shuddered on the spot, and the drunkenness went down by eight points.Looking up at the couple, the hairs on the back of their necks stood on end.

"Why did Xijun say that?" Huan Wen narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "It's just mere servants, Xijun doesn't like to dismiss them."

"Oh?" Princess Nankang raised the corners of her lips, "Is the husband willing?"

"Why don't you give up?"

"If that's the case, let the husband stay." Princess Nankang put down the wine cup, Jin Buyao shook gently, her red lips were full, and a cold arc was reflected in the slightly turbid wine.

Huan Wen laughed loudly, and immediately waved back the maidservant, scooping up wine for Princess Nankang himself, as if the nervousness just now was an illusion.

Huan Rong secretly wiped off the cold sweat, is this really a couple?

Huan Yi looked up, his expression even more disturbed.

Behind the screen, Murong and Ma remained silent.

Murong shivered faintly, thinking of his performance when he first arrived in Jiankang, he wished he could turn back time.

Knowing this, she would rather stay in the barracks.Her slender hand brushed her lower abdomen, her gaze became firm again.Even for the unborn child, she can't just be cowardly!

Mrs. Li does not need to be served by a servant, she pours her own drink, her beautiful eyes meet her head from time to time, she smiles slightly, and drinks the whole cup with her head raised.

Murong was full of worries and did not pay attention to her actions.Mashi tilted her head indistinctly, frowned slightly, and vaguely realized that the other party's thoughts did not seem to be on the husband.

But, is it possible?

After drinking for three rounds, beautiful maidservants filed in and danced to the sound of piano and drums.

Sima Huan and Princess Nankang drank together. They seemed to be happy on the surface, but in fact they were saying something clever, and there was no trace of warmth in their eyes when they looked at each other.

It was night, and Huan Wen rested in the room of Princess Nankang.

The lamps placed in the room were extinguished one after another, and the husband and wife were lying on the same bed but sleeping with their backs facing each other, not even half intimate.

Huan Rong went back to the room, changed out of the dark clothes that smelled of alcohol, and put on only a spacious overshirt and leaned against the low couch, staring at the three-legged lamp in a daze.

A Gu untied the silk scarf to comb his hair, and asked, "May I use some millet porridge?"

During the family banquet, Huan Rong was full of wine and didn't eat anything at all.When they returned to the room, they were still in a daze, Xiao Tong and Ah Gu were very worried.

"No need." Huan Rong shook his head.How could he have the heart to eat at this time.

Sima Huan wanted to take Huan Yi to Gushu, but at first he didn't think much about it, and was happy for Huan Yi.It wasn't until Princess Nankang dropped the wine cup that she faintly realized something was wrong.

If it's a good thing, Princess Nankang won't turn Da Sima's face off on the spot.

Think about it carefully, do you really love talents and think your son is suitable for joining the army, or do you have other plans?If it was the latter, it would be too chilling.

Thinking of a certain possibility, Huan Rong couldn't help closing his eyes, the back of his head throbbed with pain, his heart beat one after another, and the cinnabar mole felt faintly hot.

"Your Majesty, you should use some more, or you will definitely feel uncomfortable at night." A Gu tried hard to persuade him again.

Huan Rong pinched the center of his brows, and when the pain subsided slightly, he nodded slowly and said, "Then use half a bowl."

"promise."

A Gu put down the rhino horn comb and went to fetch millet porridge himself.The little boy made the bed neatly and knelt down beside Huan Rong.Perhaps Huan Rong's face was too ugly, he opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

When A Gu came back, there was silence in the room, only the sparks falling into the lamp oil made a few crisp sounds.

"Your Majesty, please use it."

A Gu put the bowls and chopsticks and asked Huan Rong if he wanted to add sugar.

"No, that's fine."

The thick corn porridge is fed into the mouth, flows down the esophagus into the stomach, and the body warms up accordingly, and the headache is greatly relieved.Huan Rong stopped thinking about it, and used the second half bowl of millet porridge with pickled vegetables.When I put down the spoon, I was still a little bit unsatisfied.

"Your Majesty, rest for a while before going back to sleep." A Gu put away the lacquer bowl and said, "Slave will come as soon as he goes."

Huan Rong nodded, but did not ask A Gu where he was going.When the door was closed, he unfolded a roll of bamboo slips, which was a gift from Xie Xuan a few days ago.

Seeing that Huan Rong wanted to study, the little boy quickly got up and brought two three-legged lamps, turned on the wicks and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to add another lamp?"

"No, that's fine."

Huan Rong looks like he is reading a book, but his mind has already flown elsewhere.

Princess Nankang was born in the Jin Dynasty and was the emperor's aunt.Huan Rong is the only son of Princess Nankang, and the blood of the Sima family flows on his body.Such a family background is capital, and it is also a short board on the bright side.

Putting down the bamboo slips, Huan Rong yawned.

The reason is not difficult to understand, but how to deal with it is a problem.

Before Huan Yi had a reputation for being dull, Sima Huan naturally didn't pay attention.Now Princess Nankang has the intention of teaching, and he is getting close to Huan Rong... No wonder Princess Nankang almost dropped the wine cup as soon as Sima Huan spoke.

Huan Rong shook his head lightly.

It's a good thing he wasn't the original owner, otherwise, how aggrieved would it be to meet such a scumbag father?

Old things are not over and new worries come again, Huan Rong throws away the bamboo slips, lays down on the low couch and sighs.

It's really not easy to be an ancient man!

There was something on his mind, Huan Rong couldn't sleep well all night.Aroused by A Gu with two dark circles under his eyes, he changed into his outer robe while yawning, and stumbled when he came out of the inner room, almost hitting the door frame.

"Lang Jun, be careful!"

Patting his cheeks with both hands, Huan Rong didn't dare to lose his mind casually.When he walked out of the corridor, he found that Huan Yi was waiting for him, his expression was not as serious as usual, and he obviously had something on his mind.

"Brother."

"Brother."

Huan Yi stepped forward to meet him, frowning so much that he could kill a fly.

"Brother, is something wrong?" Huan Rong asked.

Huan Yi looked around, took Huan Rong to take two quick steps, and said in a low voice, "Brother, I've been thinking about it all night."

Huan Rong remained silent, waiting for Huan Yi to continue.

"I want to stay in Jiankang, I don't want to go to my uncle with my father."

"Why?"

"My brothers are all there." Huan Yi said honestly, "I don't like being with my brothers, they often bully others."

Huan Rong deliberately said: "Brother, you don't want to make meritorious deeds?"

"I don't want to." Huan Yi shook his head and said, "I never thought about this. The reason for practicing martial arts is because my mother said that I can protect my younger brother from being bullied by Yu Youzhi."

"Brother is practicing martial arts for me?"

"Yes." Huan Yi didn't feel any pressure.

Huan Rong started to have a headache again.

Huan Yi's intention moved him, but if Sima Huan made up his mind, he would definitely take Huan Yi to Gushu, the reason was completely valid, who could stop him?

"Brother, don't casually tell others what you said today."

"I know." Huan Yi nodded heavily, "I'm only talking to brother."

"Don't tell Mom?"

"My younger brother knows, and of course my mother will know too." Huan Yi grinned foolishly.

"..." Should I say that this person is really careless or wise?

The brothers came to the front room together, but Sima Huan was not there, only Princess Nankang was sitting in front of the couch, with a bronze mirror in front of her, and two maidservants knelt behind her, combing her hair.

"Mother."

Huan Rong and Huan Yi saluted, but did not enter the inner room, but knelt and sat by the door.

"Stay and eat with me."

"promise."

Princess Nankang didn't enter Taicheng today, and she didn't let the maidservant wear a bun. She just pulled her long hair behind her head and inserted a gold hairpin diagonally.It was supposed to be a gentle dress, but it made people feel cold.

Huan Rong knew in his heart that his mother's appearance was probably due to Sima Huan.

When the mother and son were eating, Sima Huan's carriage had already arrived in front of Taicheng.

This meeting with the Son of Heaven was firstly to report the garrison of Zheqi, and secondly, Sima Huan was determined to teach the Yu family a lesson.

Huan Rong's injury was largely the fault of the concubine, but Huan Yi was humiliated several times, and Huan Rong was caught in the Shangsi Festival, and the Yu family couldn't get rid of it.

Sima Huan doesn't get close to his son-in-law, and he doesn't like dull son-in-law, which doesn't mean outsiders can bully him!

The frame passed the government offices on both sides of Yujie Street, and the creaking sound of the axle seemed to be a signal sent in advance, indicating that Sima Huan had officially returned to Jiankang, and a storm was coming above the court hall.
