Chapter 475: Waiting for the King's Fortune (3)

Sima Yi said that he was interested in Princess Yongdan Xiao Zhan, but Xiao Ling did not express whether he would help, but just laughed for a while.*

Finally, Sima Yi felt a little ashamed of laughter. Sima Yi said, "Is things that funny?"

"Hey, Brother Sima, I'm sorry, it's... I'm a little unexpected. I used to send you beautiful women, but you didn't even look at them even when you opened your eyes. I thought you like men, which made me worry for a long time. Now you don't mean others, but you just mean my niece. Oh, it's easy to do this, but it's easy to do, and it's hard to do it." Xiao Ling said, sighing for no reason.

"How can I explain this?" Sima asked seriously.

Xiao Ling said: "My niece is the eldest princess of the Southern Dynasties. She can marry anyone else, but Brother Sima, you are a middle-aged man from the Northern Dynasties. Now the Northern Dynasties are so chaotic that they have little to do with you, but if I asked me to talk to my sister-in-law about this matter, I would probably not speak up, and I would have refused because of Brother Sima's identity."

Sima Yi nodded helplessly and said, "What he said makes sense."

"And," Xiao Ling added, "even if my princess agrees to win over talents like Brother Sima, after all, the little prince's niece is very close to the Zhu now. She was the general named Zhu, who was forced to stay in Jinling. The relationship between you... is difficult to deal with. I am afraid that even if the little prince's niece marrys you, her heart will not be on you."

Sima Yi was a little suspicious of himself when Xiao Ling said it, but when she thought of the arrogant Princess Yongdan, she felt that such a noble woman who was out of the world and seemed to be indifferent to the world, how could she be "mistakeable" with Zhu Tongjing, who was like a face-to-face Zhu Tongjing? It was probably because Zhu Tongjing wanted to show kindness to her. In addition, she had always been closer to Zhu Tongjing, so she was misunderstood by outsiders.

Xi Shi appeared in the eyes of the lover. In Sima Jie's eyes, Xiao Zhan not only had a beautiful and noble figure, but also had noble ambitions that transcend the world.

"It depends on humans. As long as King Hui helps a little, whether the matter is successful or not depends on the will of God." Sima Zhi said.

Xiao Ling smiled and said, "This is the plan for others and the success is the heaven. Haha, Brother Sima, come and have a drink. Don't say anything unhappy, tomorrow I will tell my sister-in-law about you and the niece of the little prince. Maybe the sister-in-law will be for my sake and can't say that she agrees to this marriage even if she agrees to the marriage."

Sima Yi sighed helplessly. Although Empress Dowager He is not an extremely smart person, in this Southern Dynasty regime, Empress Dowager He has a remarkable status and will he like him, the proton of the Northern Dynasties? A young young man who doesn’t even have fame? And he also knew that Xiao Zhan left a deep impression on him. But in Xiao Zhan’s eyes, he was a passerby, and his words were just polite words.

At the subsequent banquet, Sima Yi was a little absent-minded because of Xiao Zhan's affairs. It seemed as if he knew that the lover in his dream was going to get married, and the groom was not the loneliness and helplessness of his own.

Xiao Ling was quite interested. Even when he was in the second day of the morning, he was still interested in watching the scenery on the river, and even singing and drinking, without any fear of the cold wind in the cold winter night.

But at this moment, a follower hurriedly ran over and arrived in front of Tongque Bridge. The person was stopped by someone outside. Then a letter was passed on to Xiao Ling's hand. At this time, Xiao Ling was drinking a little too much wine and his head was already starting to be confused.

"Brother Sima, please help me see what is written on it?" Xiao Ling looked at the secret letter carefully for a while before finally handing the letter to Sima to borrow.

"Prince, this...no." The entourage who came to deliver the letter looked at Sima Yi nervously. He meant that this letter was related to the secrets of the Southern Dynasty, so how could it be read to "outsiders" at will?

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ling glared at the entourage and said coldly, "Brother Sima is my friend, my friend... do you understand? You don't understand even after you say it. Brother Sima, what are you saying?"

"It's the Northern Dynasty." Sima Yi scanned his eyes and understood it, and said casually.

"Northern Dynasty? Oh, that's what happened to you, Brother Sima, uh? What happened to the Northern Dynasty? Did your friend have something wrong? Seeing that Brother Sima's face was a little serious, could it be... your friend... was killed? Don't be sad. Just follow me in the future. We have good luck and hardships. I am not much worse than your friend, right? Apart from quoting scriptures... it may not be better than him..."

Sima sighed. Xiao Ling was really drunk and his drunken words were all over the place. However, he could also see that Xiao Ling was a little worried about the fact that he often mentioned "that friend". Although Xiao Ling didn't say it on weekdays, he still minded it. With the help of alcohol, he said some words.

"Help King Hui return to the mansion and ask someone to clean up the things." Sima Yi ordered the people from the mansion of Hui.

"Yes, Master Sima."

The servants of the Prince Hui's mansion obeyed Sima Jie. The main reason was that King Hui believed Sima Jie too much, not only regarded him as a friend, but also regarded him as a counselor and military advisor, and only consulted Sima Jie to discuss everything. King Hui didn't believe anything else, but once Sima Jie said it, no matter how strange it was, Xiao Ling believed it.

Sima Jie was a celebrity in front of King Hui, so no one dared to offend him. In fact, Sima Jie did not do anything to harm King Hui. He helped King Hui gain a foothold in the court and won the respect of the people in King Hui's mansion.

Xiao Ling had already fallen asleep. With the help of his followers, the two got onto the carriage. Soon after, the carriage arrived in front of the Hui Palace. At this time, there were some people in front of the Hui Palace. Sima Yi got off the carriage and looked carefully before he realized that it was the person from the palace.

"Oh! What's wrong with Your Highness Hui?" The people in the palace spoke sharply, and Sima Zhi knew that he was an eunuch when he heard it.

These eunuchs seem to respect Xiao Ling very much on weekdays, but in fact they are just because the empress dowager relies on King Hui. After being in the back, these people will gossip and may not take King Hui seriously.

"After drinking too much, how many father-in-laws, are there anything wrong?" Sima Yi was also the "spokesperson" of King Hui. At this time, Xiao Ling couldn't take care of himself, so he stepped forward to receive the people from the palace.

"The Empress Dowager asked King Hui to come to the palace. What should I do? Master Sima, should His Highness Hui go in and wake up first? The Empress Dowager's affairs... must not be neglected." The eunuch who came to pass the message was a little anxious. Seeing that his errand could not be completed, he would definitely be punished after he went back.

Sima Yi thought about it, needless to say, the Empress Dowager's search for King Hui this time was also related to the Northern Dynasties. Sima Yi learned from a secret document that the overall situation in Luoyang in the Northern Dynasties has been settled, and the Eastern King's Army will enter Luoyang at any time. Although he had long expected that Jiang had the ability to fulfill the important task of defending the king and fighting against rebellion, he did not expect that things would come so quickly.

With the rise of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, the Southern Dynasties will inevitably be nervous and should quickly discuss countermeasures. The plan to send troops to the Northern Dynasties that had not been implemented before may change due to this incident.

"Several father-in-law, wait a moment, King Hui will follow him to the palace." Sima Yi knew that King Hui could not be absent from this matter, otherwise he would miss the discussion on the major matter.

After explaining to the person coming from the palace, Sima borrowed it and asked someone to find wine and tea for Xiao Ling to drink.

Xiao Ling was still very depressed. Apart from smirking, he would only suddenly shout twice, as if he would quickly avenge him.

"King Hui, the Queen Mother asked you to enter the palace. Get clean up and go into the palace." Sima said.

"Empress Dowager? Which empress dowager? I remember it is so kind and kind, and I often give me candy. Haha..."

Sima sighed and knew that Xiao Ling was talking nonsense again. The empress dowager Xiao Ling said was not the current Empress Dowager He, but the late Empress Xu of the previous dynasty, and Empress Xu was also Xiao Ling's grandmother generation.

"Help King Hui get into the sedan chair and go to the palace." Sima Jie knew that he couldn't listen to what he said to Xiao Ling now. He could only let him blow the cold wind on the road to see if he could let him vent his wine.

Sima Yi looked at the sky, and the moonlight was still bright. At this time, Xiao Ling should have fallen asleep. Xiao Ling always boasted that he had a good alcohol tolerance, but after all, he was just a half-baked alcoholic. He would get drunk after drinking a few more glasses. But today Xiao Ling seemed to be more drunk, and I don’t know if he missed Daxiliu or Qiansuli too much.

Xiao Ling entered the sedan chair, and the sedan chair headed towards the direction of the Jinling Palace. Sima was worried, so he accompanied him all the way.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the group was stopped by the palace guards. The eunuch went up to explain the purpose of the visit. After the guards confirmed that the person in the sedan was King Hui, they released it. However, Sima Jie, who was a foreign minister, could only stay outside the palace and wait.

"Give King Hui a few more cups of tea on the road to sober up." Sima Zhi said.

"I understand, Master Sima."

Because Xiao Ling had the privilege of riding in the palace, the entourage of Prince Hui's mansion would personally escort him to the inner garden of the palace. Sima Jie just gave a few words. If Xiao Ling was so unbearable when summoning Empress Dowager He, he would probably cause trouble.

After entering the palace, Sima Jie breathed a little relieved.

For him, the overall situation of the Northern Dynasties was settled, which was a good thing. After all, Jiangdu was in power, that means that Han Jian had firmly held the position of King Dong and had made contributions to the king. In the future, he would be able to defeat Xidu and Beichuan in order to follow the trend.

But in his heart, he was a little disappointed, because he was in the Southern Dynasties and he didn't know what his former friend was now.

"Is this Sima Young Master?" Suddenly a female voice came from Sima Yi's side. Sima Yi was stunned at first and wanted to draw the sword, but remembered that he did not carry a sword. He turned around and saw a woman standing behind him.

"What is this lady?" The light of the lantern at the entrance of the palace was not strong. Sima Yi carefully identified it. It seemed to be familiar, but he didn't remember where he had seen it.

"Little woman Tang Xi, I have met Mr. Sima." The woman said with a smile.
