984. Easy to change but old people's heart 54
Shoukang Palace
The fourth prince Sima Yi, who had regained his status as a legitimate prince, was sitting in front of the table, plucking the strings of the piano. He played a plaintive and moving "Autumn Feeling" flawlessly, but if you are a person with superb piano skills, you can naturally hear the traces of it.
The traces of indifference and mockery, the clang of the piano, are the ruthlessness that plays on people's hearts.
Zhen Shan closed the book and looked at the boy in black clothes who was playing the piano. The black brocade clothes on him erased the tenderness of the child and added a coldness and indifference that should not be present at this age. No one could see through the undercurrent hidden in the dark eyes.
Little brat, my thoughts are getting deeper and deeper.
I'm afraid that in a few years, she won't even be able to distinguish his emotions from the music.
"Sister, don't you like this piece of music?"
Sima Yi pressed the strings and saw her lost in thought. He smiled softly and asked.
Zhen Shan looked at the smile on his lips and raised his eyebrows slightly, "No, you play very well."
Sima Yi shook his head, "That's not what my sister's eyes told me."
Zhen Shan raised his hand and lightly touched his eyebrows, "Are you there?"
"My lord, your highness."
Sima Yi wanted to say something else, but Concubine Wan, who looked like a mistress, walked in.
After Zhen Shan and Sima Yi left Qionghua Palace, Xiao Qian and Concubine Wan also wore human skins and followed them to Shoukang Palace, nominally sent by the Queen Mother to take care of the fourth prince.
These two people, oh no, the two ghosts are now considered double agents. On the surface, the Queen Mother used them to spy on Sima Yi, but in fact they were chess pieces placed by Zhen Shan and Sima Yi with the Queen Mother.
All we can say is that they are all werewolves, it just depends on who is more capable.
"What's wrong?"
Sima Yi looked at Concubine Wan and asked.
"The few imps we sent captured some of the pawns placed by the Queen in Shoukang Palace."
Sima Yi plucked the strings and said, "I am not the master of Shoukang Palace."
Concubine Wan's eyes flashed, "Yes, sir, Your Highness, I will take my leave first."
"Um."
Zhen Shan smiled lightly and said, "Concubine Wang gave birth to a little princess for your father a few days ago. The emperor seemed very happy."
Sima Yi also smiled, with a gentle and harmless expression, "Yes, there are many princes in the harem, but the princess is dying."
"The concubine Wang comes from a noble family. She is a virtuous and virtuous woman with good character. I think your father will be more interested in giving birth to a princess this time."
"Well, my father really likes her very much and often praises her conduct."
Zhen Shan tapped her bare fingers on the table, "Earlier, you and the concubine Wang had some minor misunderstandings. Why not take advantage of this little princess's 100-day banquet to make it clear, so as not to leave any suspicion and let others take advantage of it in the future."
The smile on Sima Yi's lips deepened and he nodded, "What my sister said is that I will go to the Queen Mother later and ask her to come forward in person to give the concubine and the little princess dignity. It is the gift of this hundred-day banquet. I don't quite understand.
I have to ask my sister to help me think about it."
Zhen Shan did not refuse, "This is a small matter."
"By the way, sister, do you still remember Sima Hu?" Sima Yi Zhuangruo asked casually.
Zhen Shan's expression remained unchanged, "Remember, what happened to him?"
"Recently, he and his mother seem to be having a lot of conflicts. Yesterday they even had a quarrel in front of the father."
"seem?"
"The Queen was very dissatisfied with his companion, and often made things difficult for her in private. I heard that this time my mother made him faint as a result of punishment, and also gave him a high fever. My Eighth Emperor brother was so distressed that he went straight to his father.
Go and let Father make the decision."
When Sima Yi talked about this, his face seemed helpless, as if he was a little troubled by the absurd behavior of his mother and brother.
Zhen Shan's red lips twitched slightly, "I thought before that the relationship between mother and son was unbreakable."
"I thought so too, but I didn't expect... ugh!"
"Your mother-in-law hasn't even become a mother-in-law yet, and she has a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It's not easy."
"It's hard for elders to get involved in things like relationships, so why doesn't the Queen Mother understand? The Eighth Emperor Brother is also in a difficult position."
Sima Yi shook his head helplessly, and Zhen Shan just wanted to roll his eyes. When he sighed, could he hide the gloating in his eyes first?
What about emotional issues?
Does the little boy recognize Lou Le as his sister-in-law?
I wonder if Sima Hu and the others would be very moved if they found out?
"You also think Lou Le is a good match for your Eighth Emperor brother?" Zhen Shan smiled meaningfully.
"It does seem that he is right. The Eighth Emperor takes him with him every day. In the study room, anyone who comes near Lou Bandu, the Eighth Emperor looks like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, with an unhappy and hostile look on his face."
"After all, it is fate from the past life to this life, and the feelings are deep."
Sima Yi's eyes moved slightly, "Past and present life?"
Zhen Shan smiled faintly, "Well, but they are still young now and may not understand their feelings well. As the elder brother, you should also care about your younger brother when you have free time on weekdays. You can't let him miss his destined person.
Regret for life."
Sima Yi raised his eyebrows, "Sister is right, but I don't quite understand why my father tolerated Lou Le staying with the Eighth Emperor. Could it be that my father has given up on him?"
Zhen Shan asked back: "Do you think it's possible?"
Sima Yi shook his head, "After all, the Eighth Emperor is a son that his father has placed high hopes on for many years. Even if he is disappointed now, he will not give up just because he wants to."
Zhen Shan: "As an emperor, he will not put all his bets on one person. He is happy that you are excellent. Sima Hu also has a status in his heart. He is still waiting for you to restrain each other in the future. No emperor likes his son.
Capable enough to take his place."
The smile in Sima Yi's eyes was slightly cold, "That's true."
"Long Yang's habit is not nice to hear, but as a man, it doesn't matter if you are more romantic, as long as you don't show it openly, right? As for Lou Le, the head of the Lou family should have promised your father some benefit, and now,
Their fates overlap, so even if the emperor doesn't want his son to get involved with a man, what can he do?"
Zhen Shan leaned weakly on the couch, holding a bookmark and playing with it, "Besides, wouldn't it be better for you if Lou Le stayed with Sima Hu? A son who is excellent and obedient and perfect in everything, with a useless one,
