King's Landing [Rebirth]

For the first time, Prime Minister Wang, who has always been handsome and graceful, sprayed wine in front of the civil and military officials of the court.

It would be fine if he was sitting in the corner, when everyone was busy peeking at the second prince, how could he notice if someone was spraying wine beside him?You can spray rice.

However, the prime minister's seat is really eye-catching. When everyone looked at the second prince, it was difficult not to catch a glimpse of him from the corner of their eyes.

There was silence in the hall for a while, all eyes were on him, and the scene with a good memory recalled the scene when the Prime Minister fainted in the early morning fashion, and the shock was quickly replaced by indifference.

The prime minister looks like a god, but in fact he can do any embarrassing thing, so he should not be surprised.

In this regard, the emperor who was repeatedly angered to the point of liver pain felt the deepest.

The emperor took his seat, and all the officials left the table. When the princes turned around and stood still at the front, they all knelt down to pay respects.

The emperor said "Excuse me", turned his gaze to Wang Shuzhi, and said with a smile, "What happened to the prime minister?"

Wang Shuzhi was wandering in the sky, and finally regained his senses, clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves, suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart, bowed slightly, and replied: "I accidentally choked, and I have no shape."

The emperor was slightly surprised when he saw that he had changed from his usual smirk, and stopped talking, he waved his hands and said, "No problem."

After seeing the ceremony, it was time for the official banquet. The emperor only said a few words casually, and did not deliberately mention Sima Rong.

Lu Zixiu's official position is not too high, so he sat a little far away, and because he dreamed of Yuan Sheng at night, he was a little absent-minded. At this time, he slowly raised his head and glanced at Sima Rong's face inadvertently.

"Bang!" The hand shook violently, and the wine cup fell on the table.

Looking at him from left to right, he felt that today was really strange, so he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Zixiu stared at Sima Rong without blinking. When he heard the question, he lowered his eyes and retracted his gaze. He took a deep breath and waved his hands to prevaricate, but his heart couldn't calm down no matter what. A mess.

Until now, except for those who sat far away in the hall, most people had already seen Sima Rong clearly. Some of them had been in and out of the prime minister's mansion and the shogun's mansion, and felt that he was a little familiar, so they could only attribute the reason to the royal blood.

The emperor and the first queen, can they not be familiar with each other?

As for Wang Chi in the Prime Minister's Mansion, who had been deprived of his slave status and was reused, he was not a servant after all. Although he was famous in Beijing, his status was humble and he hadn't really caught the eyes of these big shots.

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, only Wang Shuzhi and Lu Zixiu noticed something strange.

Sima Rong had been paying attention to the reactions of the crowd, and seeing that almost all of them were within his expectations, he breathed a sigh of relief, then cast his gaze towards Wang Shuzhi who was diagonally opposite, and frowned subconsciously.

When I first entered the hall, I noticed that Wang Shuzhi had lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for more than a month. Now, when I looked carefully, I saw some dark red blood in his eyes, and his heart seemed to be stabbed hard, and it hurt. The ensuing remorse made him a little overwhelmed, and he quickly lowered his eyes to cover up his emotions.

Wang Shuzhi was unusually silent today, took a sip of wine, glanced at Sima Rong from time to time, saw that he was drinking tea and eating vegetables except for talking, the wine in front of him was hardly touched, he couldn't help raising his eyes slightly.

Yan Qing didn't drink alcohol either.

"I am the second prince, and the second prince is me." The drunken words that I heard that time suddenly sounded in my mind.

Wang Shuzhi tightened the flagon in his hand, then let it go quickly, pinched the center of his brows, closed his eyes and laughed silently under the cover of his wide sleeves.

Yan Qing, it's hard for you to hide it from me!

Acting cautiously, with a deep mind, has a sworn feud with the Yu family, repeatedly targets the prince, intends to kill him, and never mentions his father...

Everything is explained.

The only difficulty is that this is his real appearance, why is it exactly the same as Yuan Sheng?Moreover, she has been suffering from illness and living in the palace, why did she suddenly come to the prime minister's mansion alive and kicking?There are eyes everywhere in the palace, there is no reason to secretly cure the disease without disturbing anyone...

Puzzling!Puzzling!

Sighing, he raised his eyes to look at Sima Rong's obviously thin face, and happened to meet his turned eyes. Wang Shuzhi's breathing was stagnant, and he only felt the deep familiarity in those deep black eyes, which attracted him so much that he wished to rush over to kill him immediately. Pulled into the arms.

Sima Rong struggled to look away from his scorching gaze, the slight heat from the tips of his ears spread all the way to his whole body, he took a sip of tea to suppress the sudden heat.

Wang Shuzhi lowered his eyes and laughed silently.

After the palace banquet was over, Sima Rong officially entered the eyes of the courtiers. Although he had been crowned as Prince Rui, he still lived in the palace. Apart from accompanying the Empress Dowager, he read and wrote in his own palace, with a look of indifference to the world.

The emperor was obviously very satisfied with him. After thinking for a while, he called his confidant again: "How is King Jing?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there is no movement in Prince Jing's mansion. Apart from visiting the palace, His Royal Highness is practicing martial arts in the mansion. He doesn't see any guests. Many adults have been shut down by him."

The emperor thought of those ministers, and his face was slightly cold: "Huh! Normally, King Jing is not in his eyes, but now the wind is turning quickly."

The confidant shut up wisely, not daring to answer.

The emperor asked again: "Where is King Yi?"

King Yi is the fourth prince.

The confidant replied respectfully: "His Royal Highness Wang Yi has started to move around in recent days, and occasionally has contact with some adults."

"Which people?"

The confidant reported a series of names.

The emperor listened with a dark face, and finally showed surprise: "There is no Prime Minister Wang?"

"No, I heard that because Prime Minister Wang declined the marriage with Xi Shi, Xi Taiwei annoyed him. The two families have not seen each other for a long time, even King Yi..."

The emperor nodded noncommittally, then sighed.

All he can grasp is the news from Jingzhong. Even in Jingzhong, if someone sincerely obstructs him, there will be times when he will be powerless.

As for other places, it is even more difficult to reach out due to the huge power of the powerful clans.

Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the emperor has always felt this kind of helplessness, especially after the capital was moved to Jiankang, the Sima family became more and more powerless.

The emperor was upset, and asked again: "What happened to Prince Rui's residence?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Prince Rui's Mansion has been completely renovated, and we will be able to move in in a few days."

Prince Rui's Mansion is a ready-made house, perhaps out of the emperor's suspicion, this house was chosen to be far away from Prince Jing's Mansion.

Sima Rong had nothing to say on his face, but he sneered in his heart: If you really have the heart, there will be no problem if you are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, why should you be afraid of such a small distance between yourself and the emperor?On the contrary, under the eyes of the emperor, it is safer to do so.

After a period of time in the palace, Sima Rong cautiously avoided the actions of various concubines and did not fight back. In the eyes of others, he seemed rather weak, and it was nothing more than good luck that he has been safe and sound until now.

The women in the harem looked down on her so much, but the relatives from all walks of life became more vigilant after getting the news, and they all reminded: Is it just luck that I didn't fall once?Be careful!

The concubines disagreed.

Sima Rong laughed secretly. Compared with the poisonous concubine Yu, the methods of these concubines are not in his eyes, but after a long time, they will be a little tired, and they can breathe a sigh of relief after moving out. Although the ministers outside are not worried, they will not let it go. He's tired of it.

When she was about to leave the palace, Concubine Xi sent some palace attendants, both men and women, who spoke in a high-sounding manner, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Sima Rong almost laughed out loud, and then refused without hesitation: "Thank you for your kindness, the people for the palace have already been selected, so don't worry about your concubine."

Concubine Xi smiled kindly: "This...the so-called gift from the elders is irresistible..."

Sima Rong lost his patience, curled the corners of his lips, and his eyes turned cold: "In this palace, the only elders of this king are the father and the queen mother, and the noble concubine is only in charge of the phoenix seal. Even this king has to interfere in choosing someone?"

Concubine Xi Gui was used to seeing his gentle appearance in the past few days, she was shocked when she suddenly saw his face change, and she was extremely embarrassed when she said "Phoenix Seal on behalf of Zhang" on her heart. After finding a step, when he turned around, there was resentment in his eyes.

Really underestimated him!

When Sima Rong moved into Prince Rui's residence, he naturally had a big banquet, and all the ministers who were eager to make a move finally waited for the opportunity to test the depth.

In the prime minister's mansion, Wang Shuzhi took off all the portraits on the wall one by one without pretending to be other people's hands, rolled them up carefully and cherished them, and piled them into a big pile. After a long time, he called someone in: "Put it in the box, you must not lose one piece."

Afterwards they took the box to Prince Rui's residence for a banquet.

In front of everyone, the two met with many politenesses, and even kept their eye contact to a minimum, for fear of revealing their flaws if they were not careful.

While pushing the cup to change the cup, Wang Shuzhi held his hand through the cover of his sleeve.

Sima Rong's fingertips trembled slightly, and his heart, which had been empty for the past few days, was suddenly filled with many emotions. He only glanced at him briefly, and the deep pool in his eyes suddenly became stormy.

"Among the congratulatory gifts I gave to His Highness Prince Rui, there is one special thing." After Wang Shuzhi finished speaking in a low voice, he quickly let go of his hand.

Sima Rong moved his fingertips, and his heart was empty again.

After the wine was over, Sima Rong called the housekeeper, "Where are the gift lists, my lords?"

The housekeeper respectfully handed over the gift list.

The steward was arranged by the emperor, and there were quite a few such people in the mansion, Sima Rong knew it well, took the gift list, glanced at him, and waved him to leave.

He quickly found Wang Shuzhi's gift list, took a few more and mixed them together, called a reliable servant, and ordered: "These congratulatory gifts are all moved to the next room, there are calligraphy and paintings inside, be careful."

"Yes."

When the butler heard the news, he only thought that he was fond of calligraphy and painting, and didn't think much about it.

After the congratulatory gifts were moved, Sima Rong pushed back the others, flipped through the pile that Wang Shuzhi sent, his eyes fell on a box, he took it out and opened it.

After a long time, he slowly stretched out his hand.

As the scrolls were unfolded one by one, Sima Rong's eyes trembled slightly, and he looked at them very seriously. He obviously had never drunk, but he felt drunk.

After reading all the portraits and counting them, it coincided with the day of separation.

Sima Rong caressed these portraits, dazed, with tenderness in his usually cold black eyes.
