It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

In the second year of Yongkang, on the day before the spring equinox, Yang Xianrong was directing everyone in Tianyuan Palace to dig out spring clothes and dry them in the sun while the sun was at its peak.

Aunt Qian also divided the little maids into three groups, those responsible for pulling the rope, responsible for drying, and responsible for shaking off the dust... Everyone was also very busy.

Yang Xianrong sat in Tianyuan Palace and watched all this, but felt panicked for no reason.

Yang Xiankang did not enter the palace today. When he came the day before, he said that Master Mao had received an order that the gate of the Beijun Mansion would be closed tomorrow, and no one was allowed to go out without Sima Lun's order. He also complained that Sima Lun had become more tyrannical recently, and his followers actually took over the guards at the Luoyang City Gate and drove the imperial troops back to the Fifth North School, leaving Yuan Jianshuo to stand in the school field and train.

Sima Ying was not in Luoyang these days. He took his people to Yecheng, saying that he wanted to celebrate the 50th birthday of Sima Yong, an imperial uncle with whom he had a good relationship. Before leaving, he went into the palace and asked Yang Xianrong what gifts he wanted to bring back.

He took Yang Xianrong's hand and said softly: "Why have you lost some weight again? Can I bring you some delicious food?"

"No, it will be broken by the time you come back." Yang Xianrong said with a smile, "It's better to see some rouge and gouache."

"The rouge and gouache in the palace are all good things. In places like Yecheng, there are only donkey meat sausages that are not available in Luoyang, and they taste very delicious." Sima Ying looked at Yang Xianrong, and she couldn't even move her eyes away. , "Rong'er, why are you more beautiful these days?"

"Really?" Yang Xianrong smiled even happier. What woman doesn't like others complimenting her on her beauty? She turned around and walked towards the bronze mirror, intending to look at her face. Sima Ying held her back again, "There's no need to look at it, as long as it's in my eyes."

"Hey, don't be like this." Yang Xianrong blushed and couldn't help but stay away from him. "How could the prince do this? This is Tianyuan Palace, and the girl from the Ji family will be coming soon. She wants to talk to the prince about what is on her mind."

"Oh? What can the girl from the Ji family say to me? Isn't she going to get married?" Sima Ying made a serious face.

"I heard that the engagement was broken off, and they said they were looking for another husband." Yang Xianrong also had a serious face, "It is said that someone also found someone to tell the horoscopes, and said that the girls of the Ji family are very lucky. In the future, they will be Phoenix life means you will be rich and noble for the rest of your life."

"Can you be as noble as my Rong'er?" Sima Ying gently stroked Yang Xianrong's hair and the golden phoenix hairpin inherited from the Yang family.

"Then who knows? If any prince falls in love with her, she will naturally become a princess, but she is so noble."

"Where is that prince?" Sima Ying's eyes looked at Yang Xianrong more deeply, and she slowly approached her.

"Hmph, who knows which prince it is? How can I, a person from a deep palace, know so much?" Yang Xianrong turned his head.

"It's not me anyway." Sima Ying turned Yang Xianrong's head over and even laughed, rubbing Yang Xianrong's nose with her nose. "I already have someone in my eyes, and I can't tolerate others."

"Oh oh oh." Yang Xianrong's face turned redder and redder, and he didn't know how to respond to his words. At this time, Huizhu suddenly asked loudly at the door: "The Queen, Manager Zhang said that the emperor came to ask about a missing copybook. Has the Queen seen it?"

Such a sound also startled the two people in the room. They immediately separated and sat on both sides of the tea table. Sima Ying also picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. Fortunately, the tea was still hot. .

In the side hall of Tianyuan Palace, Yang Xianrong has turned this place into her study room, and has moved all the books that Sima Ying left in the Yang family here. She feels that it is not good for her to go out of the palace often and be gossiped about by interested people. , so recently I have been reading books, drinking tea, and chatting with the emperor in Tianyuan Palace. The furnishings in the study are also very simple, because what she likes is the four white walls, the tall bookcases, and the long desk... Sima Ying does understand her thoughts. However, Sima Ying also liked those extravagant gold and silver things, and often brought her some exquisite jewelry and cloth as gifts.

Yang Xianrong looked at more and more things piled up in the room, and felt a little worried. Tianyuan Palace was too small and could no longer hold it.

"Then find another piece of land in the palace just for you to put these things." Sima Ying was quite serious, "How about changing the peony garden southwest of Tianyuan Palace?"

"No, that's where the concubines live." Yang Xianrong quickly stopped his thoughts, "Some people will criticize me."

"Who dares?" Sima Ying stared, "I am the one who wants to do it, and they dare not speak."

"No, definitely don't." Yang Xianrong waved his hand again, stood up, went to the case table to find a book, opened the door and handed it to Huizhu, "Is it this one? The emperor said to him He remembers all the books very clearly. It’s too fussy to find even one missing book. However, I also remember what I said to him before, right?”

"Oh, did the maid pass on the Queen's original words?" Huizhu took the book.

"Hey, don't say it, don't say it." Yang Xianrong immediately shook his head, "Just give it to him."

"Yes." Huizhu said again: "The girl from the Ji family is here and wants to bring you some candied fruits."

"Leave it alone, saying that I am a little tired today and am sleeping." Yang Xianrong glanced at Sima Ying who was sitting upright, "It just so happens that the prince has finished talking about the matter and can send the Ji family girl out of the palace."

"Oh, then, slave, hurry up and say something." Huizhu also saw Sima Ying getting up and walking out, she immediately lowered her head and walked out quickly.

Sima Ying looked at Yang Xianrong and saluted with crooked eyes, "My dear brother, please leave. I will come back in more than a month."

Therefore, Sima Ying is not in Luoyang now. So, why did Sima Lun replace all the defenders and forbidden troops in Luoyang? Could it be...

Just when I was thinking of this, panicked footsteps suddenly came from all over the palace, and then there was the sound of neat running, from far to near. Yang Xianrong stood in the courtyard of Tianyuan Palace and was a little surprised when he heard the sounds outside. How dare someone run in the palace like this?

"Queen, go and save the Emperor! Help! Open the door quickly!" There was a little eunuch's voice.

Huizhu and Cuixi quickly walked to Yang Xianrong, Zhang Liangxue and Luzhu also stood in front of her, while Lanxiang and Yuniang ran out of the side hall and looked in the direction of the door.

The little eunuch looked back at Zhang Liangxue, his eyes full of panic. Because he not only heard the noise outside, but also saw Sima Lun's personal armed guards running over quickly through the crack in the door, and their positions were five steps and one post, ten steps and one post, just like last year's siege of Janan. Such a formation.
