King Lingyu

Two days later, Sima Lingyu brought the empress dowager's birthday gift prepared for her by the third sister to the palace to face the saint.

Sima Lingyu was wearing a gorgeous purple dress, with a delicate jadeite chain around his waist, which was priceless to anyone with a discerning eye.A piece of yellow eagle-shaped brocade was sewn on her shoulder, which was particularly eye-catching. It was a status symbol of the royal relatives and relatives. Others, no matter how high the official position was, were not allowed to use the eagle-shaped brocade as any decoration.

A Yue dressed up as a school boy's follower and walked not far behind Sima Lingyu.Weapons were not allowed in the deep courtyard of the palace, but Ayue's weapons were secretly hidden in his waist. A fine soft sword and some small silver needles were skillfully buried in his belt.The guards at the palace gate couldn't find out at all.

A young eunuch led the way in front, followed by A Yue and two strong men, carrying a birthday present for the Empress Dowager.

The imperial palace is magnificent, many times bigger than Prince Dun's mansion, but Sima Lingyu has no intention of admiring it, and Ayue behind him is also very vigilant, no matter when and where, his central task is to protect the safety of his master, at all costs .

Sima Lingyu was in a low mood. Before entering the palace, he received a letter written by Sima Lingyun brought by Junli. In the letter, there was only one question, "Are you still my sister's original Yu'er?"

Sima Lingyu knew that Sister Yun must have heard the rumors in the capital. She wanted to be in front of Sister Yun, and told her in person that she hadn't thought about her all the time these days. That kiss also had some indescribable emotions.No one was there at the time, and she didn't have to show it to anyone, but she kissed her anyway.

So, in this way, is she still Sister Yun's original Yu'er?She also hurriedly wrote a note to Sister Yun with her own handwriting, "Sister, trust me, we will discuss it in detail when we meet." After congratulating the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, she must explain it to Sister Yun as soon as possible.

Thinking of Liu Xiangyi, Sima Lingyu frowned even tighter, she finally failed her!She still clearly remembered that two nights ago, Liu Xiangyi was so joyful and shy when facing her question, she thought she would take her away, but she said that she would give her enough money to ask her to start a new life.

Liu Xiangyi asked her tearfully why she didn't want her, did she think she was in a brothel?How should Sima Lingyu answer this, she said in her heart, Liu Xiangyi in the brothel is better than many other women, and she, Sima Lingyu, doesn't care whether she is from a brothel or not.However, she already had Sister Yun in her heart, she couldn't let Sister Yun down, and Liu Xiangyi didn't even know that she was a woman.

So, Sima Lingyu just said, "We met at the wrong time!" She couldn't know that she couldn't afford to promise, but let her have hope.When Liu Xiangyi heard her answer, she cried and laughed again. It turned out that everything was her wishful thinking.She rejected Sima Lingyu's generous alms-"redemption for her".Sima Lingyu originally thought that everything was just a play, but who could tell her why her heart ached when she saw Liu Xiangyi crying?

Sima Lingyu was thoughtful all the way, until the little eunuch leading the way stopped suddenly. Because Sima Lingyu was thinking about something, he didn't notice that the little eunuch stopped suddenly and almost bumped into him.

The little eunuch knelt down to the person on the opposite side, "Your servant knocks on the eldest princess!"

I saw a beautifully dressed woman standing less than a foot away from Sima Lingyu. This woman was good-looking, but according to Sima Lingyu's visual inspection, she was probably as old as a peach or plum, but her hair was not combed up. boudoir.Princess?Could it be that this person is the sister of the current emperor?

Before Sima Lingyu could speak, the woman on the opposite side preemptively said, "Who are you? Why didn't you kneel when you saw this princess?"

The little eunuch hurried back, "Eldest Princess, this is the son of Prince Dun, and he is here to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her birthday. Didn't you see the eagle on Lord Belle's shoulder?"

Sima Lingyu noticed that although the little eunuch bowed down to the eldest princess, his tone of reply was not respectful.

The eldest princess didn't say anything, just stared at Sima Lingyu.There was no eagle mark on her body, but her eyes were as keen as eagles, which made Sima Lingyu very uncomfortable.

She had heard people say that the eldest princess was cute and smart when she was young, but when she was a teenager, she got a strange disease and her temperament changed drastically. Sometimes she was stupid, sometimes crazy, and even the empress dowager dared to contradict her.No one knew why the eldest princess suddenly became like this, but since then, she has lost the empress dowager's favor. Although both the emperor and the emperor were born to the empress dowager, the treatment is very different.The empress dowager and the emperor wanted to marry her to a foreign tribe in the frontier, but they didn't expect her to sneak back to the palace several times.This made the royal family lose face, and also angered the empress dowager, who ordered that because the eldest princess was seriously ill, unless she gave permission, the eldest princess was not allowed to enter her longevity palace, nor to leave the palace for half a step.

Sima Lingyu cupped her hands and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, the eldest princess ran away.

Seeing this, the little eunuch shook his head, "Master Belle, don't take offense. People in the palace have long been used to the temper of the eldest princess, and the emperor and empress dowager have also confessed that the etiquette and treatment are all in accordance with the status of the eldest princess, but in fact No one cares about her anymore. She hasn't seen the emperor and empress dowager for several years."

When Sima Lingyu heard the words, there was a tinge of pity in his heart, but more doubts.Those eagle-like eyes just now made her unforgettable.

While speaking, he had arrived outside the Longevity Palace. According to the rules, he had to meet the Empress Dowager first, and then attend the dinner.The person who heard the report said that the Empress Dowager was paying respects to the Buddha in the side hall, and she asked Lord Belle to wait in the main hall, while A Yue waited at the entrance of the hall.

Sima Lingyu was invited in, and was served by court ladies and eunuchs serving tea, thinking that the Empress Dowager still eats fast, recites Buddha's name, and twists incense to make offerings every day?I am afraid that I have done too many bad things, so I have to hug my feet!Back then, the empress dowager harmed many people in order to make her son the emperor and eliminate dissidents.

After about half an hour, the empress dowager came out from the main hall and took the throne.Sima Lingyu got up quickly, walked to the center of the hall, flicked his sleeves, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed, "Yu'er sees the Empress Dowager, I wish the Empress Dowager a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity like Nanshan. I hereby present a small gift, and I hope the Empress Dowager will accept it with a smile." !"

Sima Lingyu's third sister helped her prepare a huge hand-embroidered "Thousands of Longevity Picture", which is ten meters long and seven meters wide. When fully unfolded, it can just hang on the wall behind the empress dowager's seat. .If you look closely, you can see that each character of longevity has its own merits, and the stitches are exquisite and flawless.

The empress dowager was very happy when she saw the huge "Thousands of Life Picture". She walked up to look at it and couldn't help admiring, "It's so delicate, I'm afraid even the embroiderers in the palace don't have such good craftsmanship."
