I was a princess in ancient times

Ji Mingtong knew that he couldn't hide what was on his mind, so he managed to stop his tears, and immediately left Princess Anguo's mansion, and hurried back to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing before dark.

She made up her mind that before she forgot about it, she would never set foot in Chang'an again, no matter if she was pretending to be sick or cheating.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng tacitly did not mention the matter that Ji Mingtong told them that Emperor Changping was about to be abolished.According to their usual habits, they first went to the study to deal with the backlog of documents.

Yu Heng was injured, and since leaving Yanzhou, he had no errands on hand.

Lin Zhao and Mo Changshi took care of Princess Chang'an's Mansion and Princess's Mansion in an orderly manner respectively, and Yu Heng didn't need to worry about it.

Yu Heng only took half a quarter of an hour to look at the October account books of Princess Chang'an Mansion and the fief Princess Mansion, and then completely completed all the 'work' for this month.

Usually at this time, he would usually go to the Qionghua Courtyard to pass the time, or search for scriptures and picture albums in the secret compartment in the main room of the Lenghui Courtyard.

If Ji Xinxue was not in the Princess Mansion, Yu Heng would ask Qing Zhu and Zi Zhu to find out the painting tools.

However, at this moment, Yu Heng only wanted to stay where he could see Ji Xinxue when he looked up.

He raised his hand and reached for the documents in the wooden box at the corner of the table.

Although Chang'an started to implement the new policy and tax reform, Yu Heng had already gone to northern Xinjiang.But Yu Heng is no stranger to the New Deal, and can even be called familiar.

When Ji Xinxue was exploring the direction of tax reform in the fief, Yu Heng heard every detail and intention of the new tax reform from Ji Xinxue.

He is more than enough to give Ji Xinxue a shot, and he will never add to the chaos.

Before Yu Heng's hand touched the document, he was held down by the hand that was chasing him.

"Emperor Zhu said, think less..."

The spreading hot air blew into Yu Heng's ears, he turned his head in a strange way, and blocked his mouth that disturbed his mind.

The four eyes meet, each other's eyes are full of affection.

The hands resting on the same place did not know when they changed into a gesture of clasping fingers again.

After a long time, Ji Xinxue firmly pushed Yu Heng away.

He loudly called the people guarding outside the study to come in, and moved the limp behind the screen to the table.

Yu Heng smiled wryly, and honestly went to lie down on the soft bed, his eyes unconsciously followed Ji Xinxue's eyebrows and eyes.

Until he lost his energy, closed his eyes and fell into a light sleep.

Ji Xinxue, who had never changed the Chinese script in her hand, suddenly relaxed her tense shoulders, raised her head and looked at Yu Heng with anger and resentment.

When the Yu Dynasty was first established, there was a small court meeting every three days and a big court meeting every five days.When the small court meeting and the big court meeting are on the same day, the big court meeting is first, and then the small court meeting.

Both Emperor Qianyuan and Emperor Jianxing strictly abided by the rules left by Emperor Wuning. Occasionally, when they were unwell and unable to persist in presiding over the court meeting, they would specifically apologize to the courtiers.

When Emperor Yanguang first came to the throne, he also pretended to be serious about governing, but unfortunately he only pretended for the first few years.Ever since all the aristocratic families except the Yu family moved to Gyeonggi by the emperor's order, Emperor Yanguang showed his true colors.

In Yanguang's last years, the Xiaochao meeting was held every five days, and Emperor Yanguang's figure might not be seen yet, all of which were presided over by Bai Qianli.The Great Court Meeting has become twice a month.

After Emperor Changping came to the throne, he gradually changed the chaotic rules of the last years of Yanguang, but he never explicitly stated that he would go back to the rules of the Jianxing Dynasty, Qianyuan Dynasty, and Wuning Dynasty, leaving enough room for himself.

From the 23rd year of Yanguang to the second year of Changping, the frequency of the small court meeting and the great court meeting changed several times, and finally became stable.

The small court meeting is once every three days, and the big court meeting is once every seven days.When the small court meeting and the big court meeting are on the same day, the big court meeting will be held first, and then the small court meeting will be held later.

Ji Xinxue avoided a small court meeting on the pretext of being unwell, and spent three days at Princess An's mansion with Yu Heng before returning to the palace.

It's another small court meeting.

Just in the situation of Lianchao, the second day of the Xiaochaohui is the Dachaohui.

According to his and Yu Heng's habits, he should have returned to Yuhe Palace one night earlier.The next day Ji Xinxue went to Xiaochaohui, and Yu Heng, who was still on vacation, stayed in Yuhe Palace to wait for Ji Xinxue.

Before the Xiaochao meeting, the two tacitly did not mention the matter of entering the palace.

The imperial palace and court halls are actually places with the most rules.

Ji Xinxue couldn't bear to see Yu Heng tossing around with him, and she was also afraid that when they had just fulfilled their long-cherished wish, their words and deeds would show flaws and make the same mistakes as Ji Jingyu.

However, he was really reluctant to leave Yu Heng, first he seemed to have no intention of letting Qingzhu prepare the pot, and then he kept silent about returning to the palace during the meal.Make up your mind to squeeze the seat in front of the palace with the courtiers tomorrow.

Although Yu Heng was also reluctant to leave Ji Xinxue, but he was even more reluctant to see Ji Xinxue get up early and wait for the palace to open in the cold wind.

After discovering that Ji Xinxue was deliberately delaying the meal, Yu Heng suddenly changed his mind.

He put the remaining meat rolls and various green leafy vegetables from Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing into the boiled copper stove pot, and pointedly said, "Eat it quickly, or you won't be able to catch up with the time when the palace gate will be released." .”

It is impossible for them to hide in Princess An's Mansion forever.

As long as Ji Xinxue and Ji Xinxue don't appear in front of Emperor Changping at the same time, there should be no problem in a short time.

As for the future...why think about things so far away, the elders' urge to marry, Emperor Changping's abolishment, Ji Jingyu's return to Chang'an, these things will inevitably find him and Ji Xinxue sooner or later.

"I'll have time to enter the palace tomorrow morning." Ji Xinxue put down her chopsticks, "You are not allowed to go anywhere until your injuries are fully recovered."

Yu Heng looked down at the clear soup at the bottom of the bowl and shook his head, "How can I be so delicate, I..."

Ji Xinxue interrupted Yu Heng with a sneer, "It's not that she's weak, it's just that the recovery speed is getting slower and slower because of repeated injuries."

The word "just" with a particularly weird tone seemed to fall directly into the bottom of Yu Heng's heart, making his eyes suddenly darken.

I want to refute Ji Xinxue, but not at the dining place.

Ji Xinxue should be forced to take back these two words in the private space where only he and Ji Xinxue are in.

This process must be very interesting.

Yu Heng put the cushion behind him on his lap as if nothing had happened, and his voice suddenly became hoarse, "When the injury is about to recover, the recovery will be slower. Doctor Zhu is alarmist."

Ji Xinxue suddenly felt something was wrong, and the irritation in her eyes gradually turned into suspicion.

He looked at Yu Heng carefully from top to bottom, and threatened casually, "If you leave the root cause of the disease and die young, I will raise some young and strong little boys."

Before Ji Xinxue could finish speaking, the cushion on Yu Heng's leg completely lost its effect.

Little white face?

impossible!

Knowing that Ji Xinxue's words were intended to provoke the general, Yu Heng had no choice but to fall into the trap.

This sentence made Yu Heng even more uncomfortable than Ji Mingtong revealing that Emperor Changping had chosen Ji Xinxue as the crown prince, and that he would designate Ji Xinxue as his concubine soon.

Seeing that the smile in Yu Heng's eyes disappeared suddenly, Ji Xinxue felt that Yu Heng didn't care about his body and deserved to be jealous.

What if Yu Heng takes this sentence seriously and it will affect the recovery of the injury even more?

He held Yu Heng's hand, interlocked his fingers skillfully, and solemnly made a promise, "Don't worry, even if you die young, I won't find a bad boy."

"But I don't know how long the days ahead will be. Are you willing to leave me alone to watch the sunrise and sunset and the various states of beings?"

Of course not.

Just thinking about what Ji Xinxue said, Yu Heng felt extremely distressed.

He leaned forward and kissed Ji Xinxue's eyelid.

Dry and delicate, there is no crystal clearness when looking at it with the eyes.

Sure enough, she was coaxing him again.

It's okay, he's happy with it.

I just hope that Ji Xinxue won't get bored, and it will be like this for the remaining decades.

In order to avoid premature death due to old injuries, Yu Heng not only did not mention the matter of entering the palace, but also ate two more bowls of clear soup with little water.

Fortunately, he got the reward he wanted for his compromise, so it wasn't a loss anyway.

"Your Highness, there is a letter from Northern Xinjiang."

Suddenly, there was almost no sound from outside the door.

Ji Xinxue took up the cold warm water and drank it in one gulp, trying to calm the scorching heat on her face.

Feeling that his throat was no longer tense, he let the people outside the door come in loudly.

This person was wearing the most common clothes, with a face that blended into the crowd without any memory, and a wooden sign with strange patterns was hung on his waist.

He was originally a Jinwu guard, but since he was given to Ji Xinxue by Emperor Changping, he has become Ji Xinxue's personal guard.

From Emperor Qianyuan to Emperor Jianxing, they all had the hobby of giving guards to their children.

During the Jianxing dynasty, the dark guard camp was still in the exploratory stage, and the number of people who could successfully leave the dark guard camp was limited. Every prince and princess could get very few dark guards, and the safety was mainly guaranteed by ordinary guards.

It was the turn of Emperor Yanguang who had a weird personality, and Emperor Changping, who was known as the most favored by the emperor, could only get the Song Nian who had been "destroyed" by training.

But at this stage, the Dark Guard Battalion has achieved unprecedented development, and the number of people has increased by leaps and bounds, and they are all incorporated into the Jinwu Guard Neiwu.

Therefore, when Emperor Changping bestowed guards on his sons and daughters, he could do whatever he wanted.

From Ji Minyan to Ji Baoshan, everyone has fifty Jinwu guards who only obey their orders, not including those who obey the orders of Emperor Changping to protect them.

Half a month ago, Ji Xinxue dispatched all the private guards around him to investigate Xiao Ning in northern Xinjiang.

"During the investigation of Colonel Xiao, the 'Golden Monkey' discovered in northern Xinjiang that the hidden guards beside Princess Huai'an were also investigating this matter. I'm not sure if the other party found his trace." The Golden Monkey took out the envelope with half a finger behind it. , presenting both hands to Ji Xinxue.

Ji Xinxue nodded, not paying attention to what the private guard said.

Yu Heng noticed that the pattern of wax paint was familiar, and subconsciously looked at the ruby ​​ring on his left hand.

It was Feifeng and Tayun Qilin on the ruby ​​ring who were chasing.

It's a pity that Ji Xinxue didn't give Yu Heng the time to read it carefully, she already tore open the envelope neatly, divided the letter inside into two parts, and stuffed them into Yu Heng's hands.

Xiao Ning, following her mother's surname.

His ancestor was the vanguard of Emperor Wuning in the past, but unfortunately he was seriously injured before Emperor Wuning went south and could no longer charge forward.

Therefore, he was left in northern Xinjiang as a general, and shouldered the responsibility of preventing the Turks from taking the opportunity to attack.

In the remaining decades, the Xiao family gradually withered.By the time of Xiao Ning's mother's generation, only Xiao Ning's mother and Xiao Ning's mother's two cousins ​​remained.

The older cousin was born with Qi deficiency, could neither hold a sword nor have the talent to be a military adviser.He simply left northern Xinjiang early and found a suitable place to recuperate, in order to live a few more years.

The other cousin is the complete opposite of the elder cousin. He has been skilled in bowing horses since he was a child, and is brave and good at fighting.Even when northern Xinjiang and Turks are relatively stable and there are few wars, they can still make outstanding achievements repeatedly.

Xiao Ning is this person's biological daughter.

She was supposed to be General Xiao's niece, not his daughter.

Ji Xinxue put down the letter paper in her hand with a complicated face.

Having met the 'princess' Zhou Wan, he will inevitably think more when he hears that there are orphans without parents.

But when he first sent the Jinwu Guards to investigate Xiao Ning, he really didn't expect Xiao Ning to have a relationship with the 'Princess'.

After all, the war in northern Xinjiang had just ended, and Ji Jingyu, as the "most conspicuous target", not only did not make any wrong decisions, but also won the battle, playing a vital role in the process of rushing to rescue Yanzhou.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Xiao Ning, who was rumored to have had a profound influence on Ji Jingyu, did not take the opportunity to "trick".

If Xiao Ning had the same position as the remnants of the previous dynasty.

As long as she feeds Ji Jingyu a poison or directly assassinates Ji Jingyu when the situation in Northern Xinjiang is the most tense, Northern Xinjiang will immediately fall into chaos.

The result of the Turkic and Mohe coalition forces attacking the Yanzhou North Great Wall may not be as it is now.

Thinking of this, Ji Xinxue silently grabbed Yu Heng's wrist, and the fear in her heart gradually turned into cold sweat on her back.

Yu Heng raised his hand to embrace Ji Xinxue in his arms, his eyes still fixed on the letter paper.

General Xiao's elder brother, who was only in his late teens, has become a high-spirited major general, the son-in-law who rides the dragon and flies fast in everyone's eyes.

However, as a genius, he will always do things that ordinary people cannot understand.

It's like never losing a tough record, or falling in love with a foreign captive.

In the tenth year of falling in love with a foreign prisoner, Xiao Ji brought his cousin, who served as a general in the army, to the battlefield.

It was the biggest victory in northern Xinjiang during the Yanguang period. The Guannei Army wiped out [-] Turkic cavalry and captured [-] young men. Their own losses were less than one-third of the opponent's.

The coach was not Xiao Ji who disappeared on the battlefield, but Xiao Ji's cousin, a previously unknown food general.

Many generals of the Guannei Army acquiesced to this matter, and when writing the application for credit, they credited Xiao Ji's cousin with the credit that should have belonged to Xiao Ji.

Half a month later, it was already General Xiao's cousin who went home to recuperate under the pretext of being pregnant. After only five months, a baby girl was born who was much stronger than ordinary babies.

General Xiao named him Ning, claiming that everything in the Xiao family would be left to Xiao Ning.

During the investigation of the Jinwu Guard, various events that happened that year were restored in detail.

The so-called alien captives were not from the Turks, but the Rouran Meiji that the Guannei Army snatched from the Turks and bought from the Western Regions.According to the old practice, these Rouran beauties will be 'rewarded' to the generals in the Guannei army according to their military merits.

As the most energetic young general at that time, Xiao Ji was especially loved by the old generals. He was assigned three Rouran beauties, which aroused the red eyes of his colleagues, and they ran against him for a long time.

Half a year later, Xiao Ji betrothed the two Rouran beauties to his personal guards as wives.

Then he begged the old general to preside over the marriage for him, claiming that he would marry Rouran Meiji who stayed in the mansion as his wife.

Of course the old generals would not allow Xiao Ji to do such an outrageous thing, but Xiao Ji has made up his mind, and his ability can support his waywardness.In desperation, the old generals could only respond to Xiao Ji.

No one expected that on the eve of the wedding, Xiao Ji suddenly regretted it, visited the old general and his colleagues one by one, and claimed that the wedding was cancelled.

In the following ten years, Xiao Ji never married a wife, nor did he mention that he would marry Meiji Rouran in the mansion as his wife.

Jin Wuwei finds the old servant who served Xiao Ji's general's mansion back then, and learns that the lives of Xiao Ji and Rouran Meiji are far from the peace and happiness that everyone guessed.

Ji Xinxue made a conclusion based on the records in the letter paper.

"The domineering general fell in love with a spy, and the spy thought he knew nothing, but actually he knew everything. 's story.

From Zhou Wan, who was highly praised in the south of the Yangtze River, to the Zheng family who dominated the British government and was still the most popular daughter-in-law, to the Lin family who enjoyed preferential treatment in Cui Taishi's residence.

None of them are stupid.

The same goes for Rouran Meiji.

At the beginning, Rouran Meiji would be confused because she couldn't achieve her goal, and hesitated because of Xiao Ji's unpredictable attitude.As the time spent day and night getting longer, she finally found that 'he knows everything'.

In ten years, Rouran Meiji gave birth to three children.

Neither of the first two children survived.

When Rouran Meiji was pregnant with her first child, because Xiao Ji refused to agree to her request no matter what, she jumped down from a high place cruelly, and the child was aborted.

When she was pregnant with her second child, Xiao Ji agreed to her request when she ascended again.

However, in that battle, the undefeated general still won the victory and wiped out all the Turks who dared to offend.After all, the news reached Rouran Meiji's ears through Xiao Ji's strict defense.

Rouran Meiji smothered the boy with obvious alien features to death with a soft pillow.

When Xiao Ji heard the news, he was still on the battlefield, disregarding the obstructions from left and right, he ordered people to massacre the captives, and ordered his personal guards to send the heads to Meiji Rouran.

Not long after this incident, Rouran Meiji was given drugs to prevent her from having children.

However, five years later, she became pregnant again.

Ji Xinxue stared blankly at the letter paper recording the process of Rouran Meiji quietly recuperating her body, and really didn't understand what kind of ecstasy the remnants of the previous dynasty gave Rouran Meiji.

Having two children together failed to make Xiao Ji change his mind, why did he go to great lengths to conceive a third child?

Xiao Ji compromised again because of the child in Rouran Meiji's womb.

So there was the biggest victory between the Guannei Army and the Turks during the Yanguang Dynasty.

This time Xiao Ji personally guarded the door, waiting for Rouran Meiji to give birth.

He handed over his newborn daughter to his cousin, and told Rouran Meiji about the victory of the Guannei army. Not surprisingly, Rouran Meiji picked up the dagger he deliberately placed by the bed and stabbed him through.

According to the old servant's recollection, General Xiao knew Xiao Ji had the will to die a long time ago, and he was not very sad when he saw Xiao Ji lying in a pool of blood.

The person who was most unwilling to accept this result was Rouran Meiji, her Chinese was very good, and everyone in the house heard her shouting for the doctor at the top of her lungs that day.

Although Xiao Ji only asked General Xiao to take good care of Xiao Ning, he didn't mention Rouran Meiji's future.But in General Xiao's heart, it was Rouran Meiji who forced Xiao Ji to death, how could Rouran Meiji be tolerated.

She was thinking of her niece in her arms, so she didn't do anything to Rouran Meiji herself.

Before the soldiers who heard the order stepped forward, Meiji Rouran suddenly pulled out the long sword on Xiao Ji's chest and killed herself.

So far, Xiao Ning has become an orphan without father and mother, and half a year later he has become the jewel in the palm of his aunt.

When Xiao Ning was ten years old, his uncle and elder brother died in battle.

At the age of 12, my aunt was lingering on the sick bed, and it was hard to overcome the serious illness after all.

In the letter paper recording the investigation results, it didn't say whether Xiao Ning knew his background.

Only a few meaningful words.

When Xiao Ning was young, she was skilled at bowing horses, and her skills could crush Lang Jun who was two years older than her.

After General Xiao passed away, Xiao Ning, who originally wanted to go to the Pioneer Camp, suddenly changed his mind and became a famous general.

When Ji Jingyu led troops to rescue Yanzhou and fought against the Turkic soldiers outside the Great Wall who refused to leave, Xiao Ning stood by Ji Jingyu's side, and once easily pulled out the five-stone heavy bow and took the enemy's commander-in-chief flag thousands of miles away.

Xiao Ning inherited Xiao Ji's talent, but was willing to be as mediocre as the original General Xiao.

Ji Xinxue carefully tidied up the messy letter papers, and suddenly felt uncomfortable with a blockage in her throat.

Maybe it's because of the connection between Gang and Yu Heng, he can't listen to tragedies like Xiao Ji and Rouran Meiji at this time.

Yu Heng asked difficult questions for Ji Xinxue.

'Where are General Xiao and Meiji Rouran buried? '

The private guard silently remembered the negligence in his heart, and replied, "General Xiao is buried in the ancestral land of the Xiao family, and Meiji Rouran is buried in a barren tomb outside the North Great Wall."

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng looked at each other.

The barren graves outside the North Great Wall are where the Turkic soldiers who died in battle were buried.

For a moment, they didn't know whether to lament that General Xiao was too ruthless, or praise General Xiao for being free and easy.

The two were not immortal couples, they were buried inside and outside the Great Wall, and never saw each other again, which might be the best ending.

Because of the story of Xiao Ji and Rouran Meiji, both Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng clung to each other unconsciously at night, and they had to stick their limbs tightly together in order to fall asleep.

The next day, when it was still daylight, Ji Xinxue consciously opened her eyes.

After running away from the Xiaochaohui twice in a row, even if Emperor Changping didn't come to Princess An's Mansion in person, he would specially ask Ji Minyan or Ji Jingrou to visit him at Princess An's Mansion.

If Ji Minyan and Ji Jingrou found out that he was different from Yu Heng, whether they went to the palace to complain to Emperor Changping or concealed it for him, it would make things more complicated.

Feeling the movement of the person in his arms, Yu Heng suddenly tightened his arms.There was no trace of sleepiness in the eyelids that opened suddenly, but the tone of voice was really not sober, "Axue?"

Ji Xinxue lowered her head and kissed Yu Heng's eyes, forcing Yu Heng to close her eyes again.

While breaking free from Yu Heng's bondage, he kept gently patting Yu Heng's shoulder with his palm, and said softly, "I have to go to Xiaochaohui to order my hair, and I will come back no matter how late, remember to leave a light for me."

Seeing Yu Heng nodding in frustration, Ji Xinxue kissed Yu Heng heavily on the lips again, walked around the screen lightly, and went to the cubicle to wash.

The person who seemed to have fallen asleep again quietly opened his eyes.

The clear and sleepy eyes stared fixedly at the direction of the compartment, through the gap under the screen, watching the scarlet clothes float out of the compartment, and quickly headed for the door.

After the room fell completely silent, Yu Heng slowly closed his eyes, and let out a barely audible voice like a dream, "Okay, leave the lamp for you."

Because she got up early enough, Ji Xinxue could enjoy a rich variety of breakfast in the princess mansion, instead of eating steamed buns in the carriage with the cold wind or charcoal smoke.

When pinching the palace door to open the key, he reached the front of the convoy.Ji Xinxue nodded in satisfaction, opened the curtain of the car and exchanged greetings with the people on the left and right.

When Rong Situ saw Ji Xinxue's smiling face, he immediately thought of his granddaughter whose whole heart was on His Highness Fifth, and said with a smile, "Why is Your Highness so happy, but there is a happy event coming?"

"Huh?" Ji Xinxue raised her hand and touched her chin, tried her best to flatten the corner of her mouth, and said solemnly, "You read it wrong."

Rong Situ wanted to ask again, but the curtain of the car had already fallen.

Confusion appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly had doubts about his previous thoughts.

Ji Xinxue had a guilty conscience, so when she got out of the car, she purposely put on a straight face, ignoring the smiling faces of the courtiers around her, and strode towards Fengxiang Palace's study in strides.

Emperor Changping raised his eyelids to look at the angry man, and scolded with a smile, "What kind of face do you put on in Fengxiang Palace? I don't care if you haven't seen anyone for a few days."

When Ji Xinxue saw Emperor Changping suddenly, his knees felt weak for no reason, and he gave a big gift without seeing the futon.

"Greetings to Aye." He said honestly, "I wanted to go to the palace with Feng Lang to greet Aye a few days ago, but I was afraid that Aye would find us annoying, so..."

"Nonsense." Emperor Changping interrupted Ji Xinxue, "You have a lot of crooked thoughts, and you are the most capable of hitting back. Why did I ever argue with you about this?"

Ji Xinxue suppressed the melancholy in her heart, showed a shy smile, and used Song Nian's strength to stand up before the courtiers entered the door.

He didn't lie.

On the day when Yu Heng had a high fever, the idea of ​​coming to Emperor Changping to confess immediately came to his mind countless times.

Only with the consent of Emperor Changping, can Yu Heng's uneasiness completely dissipate.

Hearing Ji Mingtong tell him that Emperor Changping not only had thoughts of abolishing the empress, but also had a detailed discussion with Ji Minyan, Ji Jingyu and Ji Mingtong because of this matter.

It was only then that Ji Xinxue completely dismissed the idea of ​​confessing his relationship with Yu Heng to Emperor Changping immediately, and begged Emperor Changping to grant him and Yu Heng.

Prior to this, Emperor Changping had never told him that he liked him to become the prince, and planned to pave the way for him after he was abolished.

Since Aye doesn't talk about "Wu De" first, but quietly plans to establish a prince, don't blame him, no, don't be too double-standard, please lightly slap him when you find that he doesn't talk about "Wu De".

There is still nothing new about Xiaochaohui.

Inquiring about the tax audit, discussing the establishment of the Dudu Mansion in Mohe, making insinuations that Princess Huai'an finally set a wedding date, should the wedding of Princess Baoding and Princess Jinming be prepared in advance...

Ji Xinxue passed the two boring hours by recalling the details of getting along with Yu Heng in the past few days, and the corners of her mouth gradually raised a subtle arc.

Not only did Emperor Changping feel that the presence of Ji Xinxue, who had always been silent, was too strong, so he looked at Ji Xinxue frequently, the courtiers also always looked at Ji Xinxue from the corner of their eyes.

However, Ji Xinxue turned a blind eye to everyone's probing eyes, and stared at the bamboo-leaf hair crown on Zhong Kan's head.

Zhong Kan coughed lightly, trying to regain Ji Xinxue's mind.

Not only did he fail to get the desired result, but he felt more and more eyes on his body, and suddenly felt like a dumb man eating coptis.

He really didn't know why His Highness was so happy today.

The small court will end at noon, and Emperor Changping will leave the courtiers to have lunch in Fengxiang Palace according to the old practice.

It is said that they have lunch at Fengxiang Palace, but in fact they are served from the big kitchen, the taste and appearance are indescribable.Because it is a special gift from the emperor, no ingredients can be left.For a long time, it has been disliked by the courtiers, and it is far inferior to the meals provided by the small kitchen in the front hall for the courtiers to rest.

Today the courtiers did not immediately decline Emperor Changping's meal as usual.

They looked at Ji Xinxue and Zhong Kan out of the corner of their eyes, and secretly thought about the possibility of using the lunch time to get their words out of their mouths.

Ji Xinxue didn't pay attention to the careful thoughts of the courtiers at all, thinking that he was about to become a great demon, she showed a very cute smile to Emperor Changping, "I haven't entered the palace for many days, I really miss the food in Aye's palace."

Zhong Kan looked at the expressions of everyone in the study and said with a smile, "The last time I ate in the palace was on His Majesty's birthday."

When the courtiers heard this, they immediately told Emperor Changping that they hadn't stayed in the palace for a long time, and they missed the taste of the imperial dining room very much.

Emperor Changping sneered, don't think he doesn't know how much these people despise the Imperial Dining Room on weekdays.Every time he had to stay in Fengxiang Palace to eat, his old face was wrinkled like a bun.

He turned to look at Songnian, "Go to the imperial dining room to pass on the lunch, and tell the master on the stove all the thoughts of all the ministers."

Songnian lowered his eyes to hide his sympathy, "Yes."

As we all know, the cook in the imperial dining room has only one way of expressing happiness.

Increase the amount.

Ji Xinxue raised her hand to her chest, and suddenly heard the unpleasant memory of the last time... I have forgotten when, and I suddenly tasted the cakes of the imperial dining room.

As far as he knows, most of the people in the imperial dining room are old people left from the Yanguang Dynasty.

Ji Xinxue seriously suspected that Emperor Yanguang arranged a group of cooks in the imperial dining room because he had no money in his private treasury.

Zhong Kan saluted Emperor Changping with a spring-like smile on his lips, and said regretfully, "It's a pity that I have to calculate the latest spoils that the Guannei Army sent to Chang'an yesterday, so I don't have time to stay in Fengxiang Palace for dinner."

Seeing that the courtiers were all looking at him, Ji Xinxue subconsciously took half a step back.

They...wouldn't have thought that he would go to the Imperial Dining Room with them, right?

In the end, Ji Xinxue, who had left a 'sinister' impression in the hearts of the courtiers, obediently followed Emperor Changping to the side hall for dinner.

Zhong Kan hurriedly rushed out of the palace, to the household department to catch up with work.

Only the courtiers went to the palace dedicated to meals, all of them 'jumping with joy', waiting for the delicacies in the imperial dining room.

During lunch, Ji Xinxue seemed to mention Xiao Ning inadvertently, "I heard that Captain Xiao frequently killed the heads of enemy generals in the Yanzhou battlefield, and his courage is far beyond usual."

Emperor Changping looked at Ji Xinxue with a half-smile, "What do you want to say?"

"Hmm..." After a short hesitation, Ji Xinxue still didn't directly ask Emperor Changping what he thinks of Xiao Ning's Rouran Meiji Niang, and said euphemistically, "I heard that Captain Xiao is not like a mother, but more like an uncle?"

In the past few days, while he was concentrating on staying with Yu Heng, he carefully analyzed the reason why Emperor Changping chose him as the prince in his heart.

Ji Jingyu is a little...ahem.

Otherwise, with the legitimate eldest son, the prince who has been a princess for 18 years will not be able to inherit the throne.

However, Ji Jingyu did not suddenly become such a character.

Ever since Ji Xinxue left the small courtyard and saw Ji Jingyu, Ji Jingyu had the same temper as before, and Emperor Changping still trained Ji Jingyu according to the standards of heirs for more than ten years.

The only thing that can be called a turning point recently is that Ji Jingyu's red luan star moved, "quietly" fell in love in northern Xinjiang, and did not tell Emperor Changping.

Ji Xinxue first considered without Ji Jingyu, and then excluded him, who else could Emperor Changping make the crown prince.

Xiaojiu or daughters who have been adopted by King Shu.

Even if Ji Minyan married Abu Hanbing on the basis of mutual affection, the political factors represented by this marriage cannot be ignored.

If Ji Minyan wants to take the lead, first of all, it must be guaranteed that Ji Minyan will not have a son of Abu Hanbing. This is very painful for Ji Minyan and Abu Hanbing.Referring to the experience of the founding empress and Yu Qi, there is no guarantee that Abu Hanbing will run back to Mohe in anger.

If Ling Ji Minyan doesn't have a biological child, she will adopt a child to Ji Minyan in the future.

Ji Xinxue felt that he and Yu Heng could also accept this, so why bother Ji Minyan and Abu Hanbing to give up the chance to have each other's blood because of the throne?

If Ji Mingtong wants to stay with Ji Cheng, it is also impossible for him to inherit the throne.

Among the grown children, only Ji Jingrou and Ji Baoshan remained.

A successful establishment of a prince can convince the people.They honestly followed the laws of the Yu Dynasty and lived step by step according to the government's instructions.Even if the throne changes, their property and life will not be affected.

Emperor Changping was thinking about the prince's affairs even though he was in his prime, so he must want to reassure the people.

Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, and the adopted Xiao Jiu and Xiao Ten are too young, and the future is full of uncertain possibilities, so they are not in the scope of consideration for the time being.

Ji Baoshan, as a "little girl" who has no brothers and sisters of the same age at the top and no brothers and sisters of the same age at the bottom, has been loved by her elders and brothers and sisters in a short period of time, and her arrogance is almost as arrogant as Ji Mingtong.

Unless there is an opportunity to grow suddenly in the future, it is really not suitable for taking on important responsibilities.

As an elder brother, Ji Xinxue hopes from the bottom of her heart that Ji Baoshan will not encounter something that requires her to grow up suddenly.

After such an inventory, Ji Jingrou is the only person suitable for the crown prince in a short period of time.

Even Ji Minyan, who has been relied on since childhood, never thought of the possibility of becoming a prince, let alone Ji Jingrou?

Moreover, although there was a female emperor in the Yu Dynasty, only the founding emperor was a female emperor.If Emperor Changping wants to make Ji Jingrou the crown daughter, both Emperor Changping himself and Ji Jingrou will face unprecedented resistance.

The result obtained is contrary to Emperor Changping's idea of ​​establishing a prince in his prime in order to stabilize the people's hearts.

After thinking about it, Ji Xinxue still thinks that Ji Jingyu is the most suitable person to be a prince.

The eldest son, tolerant and magnanimous, able to accommodate others, although his ears are soft, he is very able to distinguish between close and distant, and unconditionally believes in brothers and sisters at critical moments.

Although Xiao Ning's biological mother is a spy, Xiao Ji's loyalty to Yu Chao is obvious to all.She was able to hide the radiance of her body after the death of General Xiao, and she was willing to be a food general, so it could be seen that she was indifferent to fame and fortune.

Perhaps only the bright pearl of northern Xinjiang, which is so dazzling that people can't look away when it shows its sharpness, but is safe in nature, can attract Ji Jingyu, who is also open-minded and restrained.

Having such a prince and princess is not necessarily a bad thing for the subjects of the Yu Dynasty.

Unless all those who can advise Ji Jingyu encounter an accident at the same time, Ji Jingyu is the most suitable candidate no matter how you count.

Most importantly, Ji Xinxue reached the final conclusion while clutching her aching conscience.

Among the brothers and sisters who have grown up, only Ji Jingyu is diligent and diligent.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Emperor Changping signaled Ji Xinxue to prepare vegetables for him with his eyes, and said casually, "Aren't you also like this, not like a mother but like an uncle."

Ji Xinxue immediately brought the plate from a distance to Emperor Changping's hand, without noticing the helplessness in Emperor Changping's eyes.

Aye currently prefers him as the prince, and must be very satisfied with him in every aspect.

In other words, being like an uncle and not like a mother is a compliment, not a mockery.

He knew Xiao Ning's real life experience, and Aye would definitely know it too.

Does this mean that Aye not only has no objection to Xiao Ning's real background, but because of the ever-victorious general Xiao Ji, Xiao Ning's impression points have increased?

Thinking of this, Ji Xinxue intentionally repeatedly mentioned Xiao Ning's brave performance in the Yanzhou Battle.Most of these deeds are similar to those of the young Xiao Ji when he emerged.

Because the hook in Ji Xinxue's words was too straight, it was difficult for Emperor Changping to ignore it.

He put down his chopsticks, and looked thoughtfully at the flying look on Ji Xinxue's brows.

As an emperor, he hopes that Ji Xinxue's current behavior is to promote Ji Jingyu and Xiao Ning's marriage, causing Ji Jingyu to lose his potential power to fight for the throne.

Emperor Changping would never feel that Ji Xinxue was cruel to his brother because of this.

Only those who share the same political philosophy as him and have the ability to hold on to the position of prince are qualified princes.

On the other hand, Ji Jingyu, as the eldest son, lost the crown prince because of marriage, which is the most decent and pleasant reason.

However, as a father, Emperor Changping was too familiar with Ji Xinxue's appearance at this time.

Going back five years, every time Ji Mingtong got into trouble, Ji Xinxue would tell jokes like this, begging for mercy for Ji Mingtong with all her heart.

Thinking that Ji Mingtong had been in five years and hadn't caused a catastrophe for Ji Xinxue to intercede, Emperor Changping suddenly thought, "Time flies, the children grow up, and he is also old." ' with emotion.

He raised his hand to caress the top of Ji Xinxue's head, and said in a gentle voice, "I have already drawn up an imperial decree to marry Jingyu and Xiao Ning. If Jingyu doesn't mention it, I won't give him a child."

If you can't display your ambitions, you can live your life well if you live happily.

Ji Xinxue's body stiffened suddenly, and she blinked nervously, "Aye?"

Help, why is Aye suddenly so kind?

Could it be that he wants to make his eldest brother the crown prince before he returns to Chang'an?

Emperor Changping skillfully touched the hair crown on Ji Xinxue's head, his eyes were full of pity, and he said with emotion, "You have been sensible since you were young, but you will be the youngest next year, but you will be the youngest next year."
