I was a princess in ancient times

The next day, the curfew had just been lifted, and the British government immediately sent someone to report to the palace gate that it was safe.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng first heard the report from the British government, and then they saw the imperial doctor Zhu who came to the palace on purpose.

Qi Boxuan woke up last night and has moved back to the six-bedroom residence.Due to the exhaustion of the journey, he lost his vitality, and I am afraid that he will have to recuperate for a few days before he can enter the palace to thank him.

The British princess did not regain consciousness until the middle of the night. Although she was fine this time, she had been weak for a long time, and every time she fell into a coma, her weakness would become more serious.

In the long run, the situation of the British Duchess is far more critical than that of Qi Boxuan.

Although Qi Baixuan was almost completely emptied by wine, no matter how precious the medicinal materials were, it was impossible to fill up his lost vitality.But with the background of the British government, at least Qi Boxuan can look like an ordinary person.Only slightly afraid of the cold and the sun, and more prone to wind and cold.

The British Duchess is like a wooden barrel that has been repaired countless times in various ways, and may collapse completely at any time due to the pressure of repairing.

Dr. Zhu bowed his head and said, "If the Duchess of the United Kingdom can cultivate her body and cultivate her character from now on, and don't take pleasure in things or sorrow for herself, there is still a chance of life. Otherwise..."

He may not be able to recover from a coma next time.

"Why is her old illness so serious?" Ji Xinxue asked.

Before that, he always thought that the British princess's weakness was just a means to check and balance his daughter-in-law.

Three direct daughter-in-laws, two imperial family princesses, and a former prince's daughter all depend on the face of the British princess to live comfortably.

It even includes the pasta stuffed buns with cabbage... Not only can you feel comfortable looking at the face of the British princess, but she is completely unaware of this, and sincerely regards the British princess as one of the very few people who can be trusted.

This shows that the British princess has a strong desire to control and a spicy mind.

How could such a person just let his body go from bad to worse, gradually getting out of her control.

Unless there's nothing she can do about it.

It is because of unexpected changes that we are powerless, such as Zhong.Or is it simply because from the Yanguang Dynasty to the Changping Dynasty, the British government has become more and more difficult, so the British princess, who is the head of the house, has become more and more unable to do what she wants?

Considering rationally, Ji Xinxue thinks it is the latter.

But combined with emotions, Ji Xinxue hopes to be the former.

Imperial Physician Zhu shook his head, "I have never checked the pulse of the British Duchess before, so I cannot judge the previous situation of the British Duchess."

Yu Heng lowered his eyelashes to block the complexity.

"Let the doctor tell the real situation of the British princess to Princess Yiyun and Mrs. Zheng."

Ji Xinxue's eyelids twitched fiercely, and she raised her hand to cover the corner of her mouth.

Just ask the eldest daughter-in-law, who has been oppressed by her mother-in-law and her eccentric siblings for more than ten years, suddenly learns that her mother-in-law, who is like a mountain, is actually at the end of her battle, and she may die of anger as long as she is a little provocative.

Will this eldest daughter-in-law take risks for years of evil?

Thinking from Zheng's point of view, there is a completely different way of thinking.

The position of the prince of the British government has been vacant for many years, because the original prince was abolished by the late emperor Jinkou Yuyan, the original prince of the British government and Princess Yiyun could only hold on to the identity of the eldest son and wife of the Qi family to prevent the second wife from ascending to the throne.

As we all know, unfilial people are not worthy of being the eldest son and wife of the clan.

Will the Zheng family take risks for huge benefits?

Humanity in the British government...

Tsk, the British government still has such a thing?

Ji Xinxue was worried that Yu Heng would soften her heart, so she immediately changed the subject and asked about Qi Boxuan's situation in detail.

Yesterday, when Yu Heng went to the study to check the invitations of the upstarts in northern Xinjiang, Ji Xinxue asked Jin Wu Wei Wei how many people Qi Baixuan brought back to Chang'an, and got the answer that made him dumbfounded.

Qi Boxuan brought back more than 300 people, including 150 guards and [-] servants.Including Li Niangzi, there are three concubines who are famous and have children, and there are two sons and three daughters.

Among the hundred servants, there are 35 young and beautiful Tongfang.

If it's just like this, it can only show that Qi Baixuan is a hungry ghost, and he deserves to be deficient in yang and yin.

What surprised Ji Xinxue even more was that Qi Boxuan did not bring back all his children and the women who bore children for him back to Chang'an.

In the Jiangnan other courtyard, Qi Boxuan has seven sons and six daughters.

12 years, nine sons, nine daughters...

What kind of humanoid stallion is this?

Ji Xinxue even suspects that Qi Baixuan's lust is the responsibility of the family.

Doctor Zhu followed Ji Xinxue's question, and with professional words and rich imagination, accurately guessed Qi Baixuan's sensual life in the past ten days.

He suddenly learned to read people's faces like never before, and said in a low voice, "In my opinion, Minister Honglusi has become addicted to this matter. Considering the health of Minister Honglusi, we should add medicinal materials that can calm him down in the prescription." .”

Ji Xinxue raised half of her eyebrows.

Drug impotence?

It's okay, I'm afraid that Qi Baixuan will go crazy because of this, and take his anger on the innocent woman.

Seeing that neither Ji Xinxue nor Yu Heng answered, Imperial Physician Zhu laughed awkwardly for a while, then changed the subject stiffly, and proposed to ask for a pulse for Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue.

Ji Xinxue is as decadent and healthy as ever.

Daily martial arts practice has completely become something that only happened many years ago, and only occasionally go to the martial arts arena to whip the whip, so as to prevent the skills accumulated over the years from leaving home completely.

When Dr. Zhu examined Ji Xinxue's Ping'an pulse last time, he said that Ji Xinxue was feeling stuffy in his chest, so he specially prepared some bitter tea for Ji Xinxue to drink.

Ji Xinxue hates bitter taste the most, especially the weird bitter taste from Imperial Physician Zhu.

As soon as those herbal teas were delivered to Yuhe Palace, he took them to set Ji Mingtong off fire.It is said that the effect is remarkable. After only half a day, the blisters at the corners of the mouth are visibly reduced by the naked eye.

Although Ji Xinxue didn't take the medicine honestly, as Emperor Changping and the courtiers were no longer in a hurry to establish the crown prince, they didn't keep their eyes on him and Yu Heng.The smoldering fire in Ji Xinxue's heart has completely dissipated, and she is strong enough to go up the mountain to hunt... rabbits at any time.

After this period of recuperation, Yu Heng's old injuries also healed at an unprecedented speed.

Long before Ji Jingyu arrived in Chang'an, Yu Heng's cough had completely disappeared, and the decoction used had also changed from healing to strengthening the foundation and nourishing the essence.

The smile on Imperial Physician Zhu's face became more and more real, "There is still the last pack of the auxiliary medicine. Starting tomorrow, the county king will be completely cured with another decoction for seven days, and I guarantee that there will be no hidden dangers left."

Hearing this, Ji Xinxue breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since he discovered the things in the warehouse of Qionghua Courtyard, he often goes there to 'treasure hunt' openly.

All kinds of treasures are interesting, but their new attraction to him is far less than that of the letter paper sandwiched in the storybook.

He can't wait to know the thoughts that he missed before, and he can't bear to dig out all the treasures immediately.I often work alone in the warehouse for a long time, carefully recalling the scene and mood at that time through a few words on the letter paper.

So far, the stationery that has affected him the most is in this book of "Deep Love in Sadomasochism".

This is also the only one among all the scripts that Ji Xinxue read, the names of the two protagonists have nothing to do with him and Yu Heng.

The handwriting on the letter paper still belonged to Yu Heng, but the tone of voice was completely different from Yu Heng's.

Talk about 'Princess Anwu' in the tone of the common people.

According to the content and time of the record, it should be recorded when Yu Heng came back from Northern Xinjiang and finally reached the area of ​​Gyeonggi.

There was news that he would ask his cousin Zhong Twelve Lang for the title in the Great Court, and there was news that he could not wait for Yu Heng for a long time, and he was about to break out of prison, so he frequently communicated with General Qianniuwei Dingbeihou who was in charge of city defense... …

These things have become rumors through the mouths of the people, and it is inevitable that they will be beyond recognition.

When it was rumored that he and Zhong Twelve Lang, the people at least still remembered the marriage contract between Princess Anwu and Xianglin County King. Although intentionally or unintentionally, they turned to the side that everyone liked the most, but there was still some sense of proportion.

It is said that when he was in close contact with the Dingbei Houfu, the common people were more conservative, guessing that Princess Anwu and the girl from the Dingbeihoufu fell in love.But in Yu Heng's ears, it had a different meaning.

……

The place where someone else's name should have been on the letter paper was blacked out by Yu Heng, and his own name was replaced in the blank space.

Ji Xinxue felt Yu Heng's sadness through this naive behavior, and guessed without a teacher why Yu Heng's old injuries in northern Xinjiang became more and more serious.

Because he didn't dare to express his intentions, and he was afraid that someone far away in Chang'an would make a decision that would alienate the two of them, so he would rather use his body as a bet, and wanted to return to Chang'an sooner.

This made Ji Xinxue's guilt, remorse, pity and other emotions unknowingly converge into a heart disease.

As long as she heard Yu Heng's cough, no matter what she was doing, Ji Xinxue would immediately go to Yu Heng's side.

In less than half a month, Ji Xinxue could recite almost all medical books related to lung injury.

He hates soups and medicines the most, especially the weird-tasting soups prescribed by Zhu Taiyi, but when Yu Heng takes the medicine obediently and refuses rock candy and dried fruit sweets, he will take the initiative to kiss Yu Heng to share the bitterness.

Finally hearing the news that Yu Heng's injury is about to be fully recovered, how could Ji Xinxue not be excited?

It's a pity...Yu Heng will set off to worship his ancestors in the imperial mausoleum in the future, but he has to stay in Chang'an to handle the daily government affairs for Emperor Changping, so he can't watch Yu Heng take the last dose of medicine on time.

There must be him or Yu Heng watching the 'ancestor's apparition' in person at the imperial tomb.

Daily government affairs can be done without him, but he has more important things to do in Chang'an than daily government affairs.

Yu Heng took a panoramic view of the light and frustration in Ji Xinxue's eyes, leaned into Ji Xinxue's ear and said, "If these things are all successful, can there be a reward when I come back?"

After finally connecting with the person he has admired for many years, and eating and living together day and night, it is really difficult for him to control the urge to get closer to Ji Xinxue.

however……

He could only get a superficial kiss when he was taking medicine the next day.

When he came back from the imperial mausoleum, his injuries had healed, so Axue no longer had to worry that his intimate behavior would affect his emotions and aggravate his injuries.

The reward Yu Heng wanted was a kiss without a time limit, but Ji Xinxue, who often went to the warehouse of Qionghuayuan for 'exploration', subconsciously thought of the scorching breath in the warehouse of Qionghuayuan.

As expected of someone who can save up the entire warehouse of Qionghua Courtyard, to be so... so straightforward.

Ji Xinxue resisted the thought of feeling the temperature of her ears, and nodded, her voice was barely audible, "Yes."

Yu Heng stared fixedly at the ruby-like earlobes, and suddenly understood why Ji Xinxue always stared at his ears.

Really nice looking.

If you can feel the scorching heat...

The moment their fingers touched the earlobe, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng lowered their heads at the same time to avoid each other's sight.

Doctor Zhu, who had quietly retreated to the corner, stared blankly at the window frame. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the two retreating at the same time, and he subconsciously turned around and squatted down.

Think about the various precious medicinal materials that have been obtained from serving the county king in the past few months, and think about the 500 taels of gold that His Highness promised him just now.

It doesn't matter, he can squat here forever!

Because of the tacit agreement to reward each other for accomplishing the things in the plan, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng subconsciously separated because of shyness. Although there was a little regret in their hearts, it was more anticipation and motivation.

The two adjusted their mood silently, and immediately returned their attention to business.

Yu Heng took Imperial Physician Zhu out of the palace and went to the British government to visit the British wife and Qi Boxuan.

Ji Xinxue went to Fengxiang Palace, hoping to get some advice from Emperor Changping on 'how to tame the Turks by establishing a stable mutual market in northern Xinjiang. ' suggestion.

To show his sincerity, Ji Xinxue deliberately brought all the results of his and Yu Heng's hard work for more than half a month to Fengxiang Palace.

Emperor Changping carefully read the content presented by Ji Xinxue, and the interest in his eyes became more and more intense.

"You came just in time." He shook the document in his hand, and generously told Ji Xinxue the latest news from northern Xinjiang, "The rest of the Rouran army defeated the Turkic royal family, killed all the Turkic royal families, and formally took over the Turkic royal family. Site."

Ji Xinxue was stunned.

The Turks and the remnants of the previous dynasty fell out, but the remnants of the previous dynasty won?

Even though he deeply hated all the evil things done by the remnants of the previous dynasty, Ji Xinxue still couldn't deny it. When he realized that the rest of Rouran was a force supported by the remnants of the previous dynasty, a subtle sense of refreshment emerged in his heart.

The alien race that had been stalemate with the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of years was completely defeated by the Central Plains people after all.

Ji Xinxue couldn't wait to unfold the secret letter that Emperor Changping handed him.

The so-called Rouran is a branch of the Huns, and also a foreign race that ruled the area north of the Great Wall before the Turks.

About 600 years ago, when the Central Plains was still the Yan Dynasty, the Turks moved eastward and began a 50-year war with Rouran.

In the end, the Turks completely took root outside the North Great Wall.

The Rouran people could only flee to the north and west in embarrassment or become slaves of the Turks.

Most of the Rouran people who occupy the north instead of the Turkic royal court are slaves of the Turkic people, and there are also a small number of Rouran people who have just migrated from the north to the south.

They destroyed the Turkic royal court at any cost, slaughtered all the Turkic royal families, and couldn't wait to establish the king's tent and declare themselves the new king of the grassland.

It's not that the Rouran people don't want to wipe out all the Turks in the grassland.

However they couldn't.

Although the Turks were defeated, only Wang Ting lost all his cards and had just lost popular support because of the war with the Yu Dynasty, so he had almost no ability to resist.

Although the rest of the Turkic tribes are equally difficult to resist Rouran, they will not be easily overtaken by Rouran.

If they are willing to unite and fight Rouran, it is still unknown who will win in the end.

So the grasslands are in a very weird state.

The remnants of the previous dynasty had the kindness to rebuild the old Rouran who had been a Turkic slave, and he could be regarded as a friend in need.

They reached an alliance with Xin Rouran, who had migrated from the north to the south, to completely drive out the Turkic people who were still unwilling to give up the grassland.

However, the grassland can only have one king tent.

Today's grassland king is the old Rouran Khan. When he announced that he was the new grassland khan, he respected the remnants of the previous dynasty as the Ming King, and the leader of the new Rouran, Uluolanjike, was the Suiwang.

Leaving aside the remnants of the court for the time being, the old Rouran and the new Rouran have been separated for hundreds of years, and their languages ​​have changed to varying degrees.Many old Rouran people can only speak Turkic fluently, and a small number of old Rouran people who can speak ancient Rouran language cannot avoid the embarrassment of guessing when they talk to Xinrouran people.

The new king's tent in the grassland is north of the original Turkic royal court, and it can be said that the grassland regime in the past few hundred years is farthest from the Great Wall.

The Turkic people didn't want to give up the place where they had lived for hundreds of years. In order to avoid the pursuit of Rouran Wangzhang, they could only cautiously approach the North Great Wall.

They still had fresh memories of the disastrous defeat that happened not long ago, so they didn't dare to provoke Yu Chao any more, and they didn't want to fight Rouran to their death, so they could only rely on their familiarity with the terrain to survive.

The Guannei Army took a panoramic view of the ongoing "cat and mouse game" on the grassland, carefully recorded it on letter paper, and sent it to Chang'an urgently within eight hundred miles.

Emperor Changping was very satisfied with the current stability of the court, and originally planned to wait until March next year before letting the courtiers know about the changes in the northern neighbors.

Because the documents presented by Ji Xinxue fit the current situation of the grassland, he temporarily changed his mind and revealed the news of the grassland to Ji Xinxue in advance.

Ji Xinxue repeatedly studied every word on the letter paper, and suddenly there were too many flashes of inspiration in his mind, but he had no specific ideas.

Originally, he set up a stable mutual market in northern Xinjiang, and he could only do business with Turks and Mohe, but now there is another Rouran.

Turks and Rouran have blood and blood feuds, old Rouran and new Rouran have irreconcilable contradictions from language to customs, and the remnants of the previous dynasty have completely changed from darkness to light, becoming the Zeng family of the grassland... and the west can play mahjong Compared with the liveliness of the city, Mohe in the east is too simple and honest, which seems out of place.

In any case, the more chaotic the neighbors, the more stable the Yu Dynasty.

The sudden emergence of the old Rouran and the new Rouran almost completely smashed the Turkic hope of recuperating for the future.

Emperor Changping lazily leaned on the soft pillow, and ordered, "Go back and think about this matter carefully, and discuss it after the opening of the court in the next year."

Ji Xinxue immediately returned to her senses, and taking advantage of Emperor Changping's good mood, she seized the opportunity to apply for convenience, "The king of Yuanbei County and his elder brother are as familiar with Beijiang as Feng Lang. If there is something you don't understand, can you ask your elder brother?" them?"

"No." Emperor Changping shook his head without hesitation.

If you want to be a prince, you must first understand that the higher the position, the more lonely you are, and not everything can be entrusted to people you trust to work together.

When he found out that the eldest daughter's competitiveness had not changed, but had become more serious, Emperor Changping suddenly realized that it was his indulgence that raised the eldest daughter's arrogance.

He couldn't bear to use strong means to change the eldest daughter's character, and he absolutely couldn't just watch the second son pamper the eldest daughter in the same way again.

Let A Buhan Bing and Ji Jingyu participate in this matter, is to divide the credit between two people.

Emperor Changping was happy to see Ji Xinxue's generosity to his family, so he had to remind him.

The prince is the crown prince first, and then the younger brother.

Only when Ji Xinxue understands this matter first can Ji Minyan understand this matter.

Because he was still angry with Ji Xinxue, Emperor Changping didn't bother to speak clearly.

Destined not to have a biological child, how difficult is it to get the approval of the courtiers to become the prince?

If Xiao Wu worked hard for a few days and then became lazy, and returned to the previous appearance of letting things go, wouldn't his teaching now be in vain?

Go and realize it yourself.

Ji Xinxue saw that although Emperor Changping still had a relaxed smile on his face, his attitude was very firm, and he didn't intend to continue explaining.He nodded obediently, and after inquiring about other news about northern Xinjiang, he left with a secret letter and was satisfied.

The day before Yujia set off from Chang'an to worship the ancestors in the imperial mausoleum, Emperor Changping suddenly had a high fever.

Many imperial physicians and imperial physicians took turns to check the pulse, but none of them could explain the reason for Emperor Changping's sudden high fever.

Emperor Changping complied with the request of the Tai Hospital and Baiguan, and gave up the idea of ​​going to the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors in person.Let Princess Huai'an, King Ling, and King Xianglin go to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors on his behalf.The government affairs are handled by Princess Baoding, Princess Anwu and Princess Jinming.

The next day, Emperor Changping dragged his sick body on the palace wall to watch the people who went to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors set off.

Once again entrusted with the important task of handling the government affairs, Ji Jingrou and Ji Mingtong's face did not see the sadness from last time.

As soon as she entered the study, Ji Jingrou went straight to the rocking chair, "Yesterday, the sisters were arguing at my place till midnight, so I have to hurry up and take a break. If Song Nian or Jingzhe come, please remember to wake me up in advance."

Ji Mingtong was half a step late, so he could only go to the soft place, "Are they very lively recently?"

The person who can be made a sister by Ji Jingrou is either the princess or the county princess.Even if she is not the daughter of the clan, she is still a goddaughter of the clan like Princess Xuanwei.

Ji Mingtong was originally a daughter of the clan and had a close relationship with Qinghe County Prince's Mansion, so even if she didn't pay special attention to the movements of the clansmen, she could probably sense it.

It's a pity that the recently lively clan women think she is childish on weekdays. Although they never say it clearly, they often deliberately don't bring her to play.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingtong inevitably felt aggrieved.Suddenly he strode towards Ji Jingrou who had closed his eyes, and insisted on asking Ji Jingrou to tell her why the bustling clan girls thought she was childish.

Ji Jingrou sneered, and put her finger on Ji Mingtong's forehead, "When you get married, they won't avoid you anymore."

Although Ji Mingtong is arrogant, he is generous and doesn't bother to trouble others, so his popularity in the clan is not bad.

They would avoid Ji Mingtong because Ji Mingtong's heart was too... Really, they were afraid that Ji Mingtong would go out to mess around after listening to their nonsense, and Emperor Changping, Ji Minyan or Ji Xinxue would feel that Ji Mingtong was at a disadvantage, and they would settle accounts with them for this.

Although Ji Xinxue is not as majestic as the first two, Yu Heng is not only majestic, but also the clan's 'Ghost Seeing Sorrow'.

When Ji Mingtong heard the word 'marriage', he felt guilty at first, and then he was angry. He went straight to Ji Jingrou's itchy spot with his hands, and acted like a baby with confidence, "My good sister, tell me now!"

When she gets married, won't she be excluded by the clan sisters for the rest of her life?

Ji Jingrou was so sleepy after being disturbed by Ji Mingtong, she immediately stood up and resisted, insisting on teaching Ji Mingtong a lesson.

However, Ji Mingtong's attitude was too persistent, and Ji Jingrou couldn't bear to continue showing off. She also had the same worries as the clan sisters in her heart, so she fooled Ji Mingtong with the recent jokes that the clan sisters used to make fun of.

"They are making fun of Honglu Temple Minister who is touted as 'the most beautiful man in Chang'an', bah! Yellow-skinned cucumber is very useless!"

Ji Xinxue put down the ink brush, and looked helplessly at the sisters who were flirting with each other.

It was obviously the work of three people, but they not only skipped work confidently, but they even thought he didn't exist at all.
