Sima Yan was about to step into the hall when two red figures passed by her like a gust of wind and rushed straight into her.

Sima Yan didn't have to think about it, and she knew that the Fourth Princess and Princess Yue were running in front of her. In this palace, who were there two people who came in and out, like shadows, liked to wear red, and were "courageous" to rush around?

However, what day is today? They are all in a hurry.

As soon as Sima Yan's question arose, she heard Princess Yue's excited voice: "Grandmother, is it true? Sister Yao'er is going to be my sister-in-law?"

The fourth princess also pulled the empress dowager's sleeve: "Grandmother of the Emperor, they said that the father-in-law Shunzi went to pass on the marriage order, and sister Yaoer and us will be a family in the future. Isn't it, Grandmother of the Emperor?"

The Empress Dowager pointed to the two cheerful little girls and smiled at Mama Liu, "Oh, these two children are even better than Ning'er." After that, she looked at Princess Yue lovingly, "Yes, Yao'er will be your sister-in-law from now on, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Do you like it?" Yue'er is also on the 11th this year, and when she gets married in a few years, she will still have to go out from Prince Yong's mansion.

Qi Yueling nodded straight: "I like it, I like it so much. Grandmother, when will my sister-in-law come in? Do I also want to go back to the royal palace to accompany my sister-in-law?"

The fourth princess Qi Sihan hurriedly muttered: "And I, I want to go to your palace to play. No, stay for a while. You must prepare my yard and I want to stay for a while."

Qi Yueling curled his lips: "How could I ever hear of a princess living outside the palace?"

The fourth princess thought, "No, right? She quickly changed her words: "Yes, Sister Yaoer should live with you in the palace."

The Queen Mother laughed: "Look. Look, the two little little unconsciences, and before her sister-in-law entered the door, she threw the emperor's grandmother aside."

The Fourth Princess and Princess Yue snuggled beside the Empress Dowager and said in unison: "Where is it? The Emperor's Grandmother is the most important thing in our hearts."

The Queen Mother laughed again. She was in such a good mood today. Xiao Yaoer is just a little lucky star. Well, with the two little pistachios in front of her, her knees will be more lively in the future.

The three grandparents and grandsons played happily. They didn't notice that Sima Yan, who had just entered the hall gate, looked pale and shaking, thanks to the maid around her who supported her.

At this time, Sima Yan's mind was blank, and she kept repeating the words "Give Marriage, Yao'er, Sister-in-law". She was still one step late, and the marriage imperial decree had already left the palace. It was too late, too late...

Mother Hua sighed inwardly, held Sima Yan's shoulder, and reminded softly: "Girl."

The girl was out of control. What the girl had to do at this time was to go forward to salute the queen mother, instead of standing there alone. Fortunately, the queen mother and the others were happily talking about the marriage. They didn't notice that they came in at all.

Sima Yan woke up and felt even more sad. She seemed to have been left to a corner that everyone had forgotten.

Trying to endure the tears that were almost bursting into his eyes, Sima Yan used the cover of her wide sleeves to seal her eyes, calmed down, and went forward to salute.

The Empress Dowager realized that someone had just reported that Princess Yan was coming, and she was completely forgotten by her two precious granddaughters. She smiled and said, "Yan'er is here, sit down soon. She is in the hairpin, she is the big girl. We Yan'er is getting more and more beautiful and charming."

Sima Yan was deliberately dressed up today, wearing a blue embroidered plum blossom dress. It was pure and bright, with a light and soft texture, bright color like flowers, making her skin look like a cream. The clouds were covered with thick clouds, and a glazed peony was inserted into the steps of the flower. Her beautiful eyes were flowing, her face was like lotus, and her breath was like orchids, which made people feel a love and pity.

The Empress Dowager sighed secretly that there are no outstanding Jinshi like Xia Shujie and Yu Zhengran in this year's new Jinshi, who are both civil and military, who are both civil and military. In her opinion, the best one is the top scholar in martial arts, and her grandson Qi Haoning. Unfortunately, Ning'er did not like Sima Yan. Alas, things didn't go as expected, and this child was just a fate with Ning'er.

Suddenly, the empress dowager had a thought: Yan'er is already in the forefront, and the marriage has not yet been settled. Yan'er, who is a good student in the new Jinshi, looks down on her. Looking around, there is really no suitable candidate. It is better to point Yan'er at the second prince, after all, she is a prince's concubine, and at least a princess in the future.

Although the second prince already has a concubine and many concubines, Yan'er is the official concubine when she comes in, and she has her own support. The second prince and Concubine Ma dare not treat Yan'er unfairly.

As for whether Sima Yan has feelings for the second prince, the empress dowager really doesn't think it is important. She didn't like the first emperor before marrying the last emperor, but she secretly admired a young general. The general rode a horse and sat in the sedan chair, and saw it through the curtain, and fell in love with the heroic figure. Unfortunately, the general already had a wife and a half-year-old son.

Later, after marrying the late emperor and becoming the princess, she still lived a good life. Two years later, the general died in battle. She felt a little grateful after regret. If she married the general, wouldn’t she have to be a widow? I wonder if it was because of that special relationship, she gave a lot of concern and help to the general’s wife and children, and inadvertently attracted the touching of the soldiers in the army and their support for the late emperor. Not long after, the late emperor was made the crown prince, and it was a big credit to her, which could be considered a mistake.

The empress dowager also had a little selfishness. She also knew that the second prince and the Ma family were ready to move, and Sima Yan grew up beside her. She thought she was still very sure of Sima Yan's wisdom and loyalty. If Sima Yan could make the second prince settle down, it would be a good thing.

The empress dowager did not care about any grandson as the queen mother. What she cared about was that no grandson could violate the kingdom and interests of her son, and could not disobey the emperor. The empress dowager was a typical woman who was obedient to the three and four virtues who "followed the father at home, followed the husband when he got married, followed the son when he died". She considered everything from the emperor's interests. Therefore, the empress dowager's family has always been very peaceful and had to restless.

Sima Yan heard the Empress Dowager praise her for being "sexy and charming", but she felt even more sad. No matter how beautiful she is, the Empress Dowager chose Xia Shuyao as Prince Yong's concubine.

Hua Mama was once the palace maid in the empress dowager's harem, and she knew the empress dowager very well. She secretly glanced at it from pity to contemplation in her eyes. She sensitively guessed that the empress dowager probably had a conclusion about Sima Yan's marriage in her heart.

Seeing Sima Yan still sitting there with dull eyes, Hua Mama was secretly anxious. No matter who she married, if Sima Yan wants to live a good life in the future, she still cannot do without the protection of the empress dowager.

How could the empress dowager not know the worries of her girl? It must be that Prince Ning was unwilling. The joy on Prince Ning’s face just now clearly showed that he was very satisfied with the marriage with the girl Xia family. Since Prince Ning liked Xia Shuyao, how could his girl be happy if she barely married? Besides, the decree of marriage has been issued now.

Now, we can’t annoy the Queen Mother anymore!

Hua's mother made up her mind and decided to tear off Sima Yan's wounds so that she could see the reality clearly. She would completely give up and achieve great success only if she had a great destruction.

After making up his mind, Hua Mama asked, "Empress, are you so happy? Did Prince Ning's marriage be decided? Just now, the old slave saw Prince Ning leave from a distance, and his face was filled with joy."

It just so happened that the empress dowager also intended to let Sima Yan realize the reality and replied with a smile: "The boy was naturally proud. He had been asking for help from Ai's family to marry the Yao'er girl from the Marquis of Yongping's Mansion. Unfortunately, Yao'er was still in the filial piety period and did not return to Beijing. Finally, the girl returned to Beijing, so he was anxious. He came to the palace early in the morning to urge Ai's family."

Every word of the empress dowager hit Sima Yan like a hammer. She was infatuated with her desire to attract Qi Haoning's attention, and even wanted to take the initiative to ask the empress dowager for her, but she had already asked the empress dowager for marriage, but she was asking for another woman. No wonder she had heard that the empress dowager was planning a marriage for Prince Ning before, but suddenly there was no following.

Why? Why? Why? Are you inferior to Xia Shuyao?

Princess Yue's seemingly unintentional words sprinkled a handful of salt on Sima Yan's wound: "Grandmother, you don't know. Brother is afraid that Sister Yaoer doesn't like him, and is afraid that someone will take him away first, so don't worry? Before Sister Yaoer returns to Beijing, her brother always goes to the Yongping Hou Mansion to inquire."

The Empress Dowager pointed at Princess Yue's forehead and said angrily: "This child, I will reveal your brother's shortcomings. Be careful that Ning'er will be angry."

Princess Yue is worthy of her brother: "Haha, I'm looking for Sister Yao'er. Sister Yao'er is here, so my brother can't bear to be angry. Grandmother, can Sihan and I go to Yongping Hou Mansion to find Sister Yao'er tomorrow?"

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "You sister Yaoer must come to the palace to thank you tomorrow. You don't have to make excuses to go out of the palace and run wildly. Every time you leave the palace, you are reluctant to come back."

When they heard that Shu Yao was about to enter the palace, Princess Yue and the others stopped quarreling to leave the palace. Anyway, they stayed in the Yongping Marquis' Mansion when they left the palace. Every time Shu Yao entered the palace, she would bring Xiaoguai and Huohuo together, which was not much different from their visit to the Yongping Marquis' Mansion.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Sima Yan, who was sitting there silently with a pale face. It was not that he didn't care about it, but there was no way, right? He couldn't let Sima Yan be the concubine for Qi Haoning? Why did Sima Yan also named Princess Yan by the emperor? If she was asked to be a concubine, wouldn't the soldiers who followed General Sima back then be disheartened? The Empress Dowager herself couldn't bear it.

It would be even more impossible to let Xia Shuyao be his concubine. Not to mention Shuyao is also a great hero. Jin Xida and Xia Shujie are as strong as the emperor's right-hand man. Even Qi Haoning himself would not agree. His admiration for Shuyao and his nervousness can be seen. Two heartless things, Yue'er and Sihan.

The Empress Dowager decided to summon Duke An Guo’s wife to the palace in the next two days to talk about Sima Yan’s marriage. If a girl is old or not, she will stay and stay and become a revenge. The marriage can be one or two years later, but the engagement cannot be delayed. There are not many girls from aristocratic families who have not yet decided on their marriage. (To be continued.
