I was a princess in ancient times

Lin Wei was stunned, and her dull eyes moved down the light blue silk flowers on Ji Xinxue's hair, passed the carnation-colored jacket exposed from the red fox cloak, and fell on the moccasin boots with colorful pearls.

Even though the sky has become dark, Lin Wei, who has good eyesight, can clearly see the phoenix pattern embroidered with gold thread under the colored pearls.

One, two, three... seven.

The phoenix with seven tail feathers is a standard that can only be used by women of the first rank.

Lin Wei secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He must have read it wrong. Most of the clothes of the county king and princess were made of the same fabric by the same batch of embroidered women. It is not surprising that there are jackets of the same style and different styles.

He couldn't wait to confirm this idea, his eyes left the moccasin boots, and when he passed the purple horse skirt, his stiff face gradually eased.The carnation-colored jacket was almost entirely wrapped in the Firefox cloak, with only the hem exposed.The candlelight shining from behind Lin Wei just reflected on the dark pattern embroidered with silver thread on the hem of the carnation-colored jacket. It was a rolling unicorn.

Ji Xinxue waited for a long time but didn't see Lin Wei stepping aside, she looked suspiciously at Lin Wei with her round phoenix eyes, "Huh?"

Lin Wei, who was staring at the dark pattern of the unicorn in a daze, suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately stepped aside to open the door.

He told himself that even if the jacket didn't fit the princess well, even if the hem was exposed from the cloak, and there were dark patterns of unicorns on it, it still didn't prove that the carnation-colored jacket was not the princess's clothes, but the county's. King's clothes.

When Ji Xinxue took Yu Heng's jacket and put it on her body, she thought about how everyone would react when they saw him.

After he left Chang'an again to inspect the fiefdom, he no longer insisted on highlighting his princess status with delicately colored and complicated clothes and standard luxurious jewelry, and his daily attire became more and more casual.

He often only tied his hair neatly into a ponytail, walked around in neat riding clothes, and never deliberately concealed anything from Li Jinhuan and others during his voice-changing period.

If Li Jinhuan and others received a letter from their family and learned the rumors in Chang'an that "Princess Anwu is a princess or a prince", and observed him carefully, they should have already guessed his true gender.

He thought he was mentally prepared.

However, seeing Lin Wei staring at the jacket on him in disbelief, Ji Xinxue still inevitably felt nervous.

These people who have known him for many years, can calmly accept that he is not a princess but a prince, will they think that he is...perverted?

Ji Xinxue walked in along the open door with one hand and one foot, and suddenly had the illusion that she was being scrutinized by various eyes with unknown meanings.

Just when Ji Xinxue felt that his hands and feet were getting heavier and heavier, making it difficult to walk, a pair of powerful hands were placed on his shoulders, pushing him forward with just the right amount of gentle strength.

Yu Heng pushed Ji Xinxue to stop at the brazier, untied Ji Xinxue's cloak and handed it to the side.He pretended not to notice Ji Xinxue's nervousness, and continued their conversation outside the door as if nothing had happened, "I packed a round of luggage the day before yesterday, and we can set off in three days at most. Even if we leave anything behind, we can send servants back to pick it up after the year. "

Ji Xinxue nodded subconsciously, and quietly stretched her stiff shoulders, "We must rush back to Chang'an before New Year's Eve, otherwise Aye will definitely be angry."

He was not at all curious about the consequences of angering Emperor Changping.

Lin Wei managed to convince himself that Ji Xinxue's clothes had nothing to do with Yu Heng, and suddenly felt that his thoughts were a little ridiculous.

So what if the princess really wears the clothes of the county king?

Sooner or later, the princess and the county king are a family, so there is no need to care about the defense of men and women.No one will go out and talk nonsense to ruin the reputation of the princess.

Lin Wei let go of her entanglement, and closed the door neatly under the hesitant eyes of the servants, and strode towards Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue who were warming up beside the brazier, "The king of the county took us to search for rabbit holes all over the mountains and plains, not only today I can eat the whole rabbit feast, tomorrow..."

Looking at the obvious bulge in Ji Xinxue's neck, Lin Wei stopped talking abruptly, and her eyes widened suddenly.

Ji Xinxue resisted the thought of touching her Adam's apple, and asked, "What about tomorrow?"

He was wearing Yu Heng's jacket because he was too lazy to dig through the closet, and he didn't bring the gauze scarf that he usually wears around his neck when he went out, but he did it on purpose.

Even though his body shape is not as fast as Yu Heng's, and he looks a full circle smaller than Yu Heng who is only one year older than him, he can still be regarded as "burly" compared with women of the same age.

Whether it is the many preparations that Emperor Changping has made, or the irreversible changes in him as he grows older, it will cause him to return to Chang'an, and he will no longer be able to dress up as a princess perfectly.

Anyway, it will be revealed sooner or later, why not reveal it to the friends who have been with me for many years before returning to Chang'an.

Now there is only less than a month left before the Chinese New Year, and he will soon be 16 years old.

He went to Hanzhuyuan to study at the age of seven, and became classmates with Li Jinhuan and Zhang Siyi, almost nine years ago.

Yan Meng came to Hanzhuyuan in Yanguang's 21st year, and has known him for six years.

Lin Wei was Yu Heng's accompanying student in Yanguang's 21st year in Chang'an, entered and exited Taixue together with Yu Heng, and also known him for six years.

They shouldn't break ties with him just because they realized his true gender... right?

"Ming, Tian? What, what?" Lin Wei raised his hand and touched his neck, repeating Ji Xinxue's words with a dull face, not knowing what he was talking about.

Did he see it wrong?

He must have read it wrong!

Yu Heng stood between Lin Wei and Ji Xinxue calmly, holding Ji Xinxue's hand that hadn't warmed up for a long time standing beside the brazier, "I will have rabbits to eat tomorrow, are you happy?"

Ji Xinxue didn't wait for Lin Wei, who was blocked by Yu Heng, to speak for a long time, and nodded absently.

The three people on the other side have not noticed that Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue have entered the door.

Faced with Li Jinhuan and Zhang Siyi's concern, Yan Meng lowered her head deeply. The usual gentle person suddenly became shy, and her voice was like a mosquito, "You don't need to see the imperial doctor, it will be fine in a few days."

"How can you not see an imperial doctor?" Li Jinhuan disapproved, and persuaded, "You can't hide your illness from medical treatment. Many serious illnesses are caused by neglecting the symptoms when they first appeared."

Zhang Siyi slapped Li Jinhuan heavily on the back, and lightly reprimanded, "It's almost the Chinese New Year, so be careful with your words."

When Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng came over, they just heard the second half of Zhang Siyi's words, and asked casually, "What are you avoiding?"

He felt that compared with Yan Guangchao, Changping Dynasty could already be regarded as "a high degree of freedom of speech".

Besides, their friendship for so many years is here, even if Li Jinhuan really said something he shouldn't say, he would not care about it.

Ask about this matter on the spot, lest Li Jinhuan wonder whether he heard it or care about it later, which will affect his relationship instead.

"We see that Yan Meng is not feeling well, and we are now persuading Yan Meng to call the imperial physician to come and see." Zhang Siyi took the initiative to explain, "It's not that the New Year is coming soon, so let Li Jinhuan not say anything unlucky."

Ji Xinxue nodded, Zhang Siyi's family has been a family of etiquette officials for generations, and they are very particular about this aspect.

"It's better to keep it a secret." Because of her personal experience, Ji Xinxue paid more attention to the various rituals of the New Year than in her previous life.

Yu Heng glanced at Yan Meng's pale face, combined with Zhang Siyi's words to 'persuade' Yan Meng to see an imperial physician, he could probably guess what Li Jinhuan said.

Because Ji Xinxue doesn't like to take medicine, he can understand Yan Meng's reluctance to see an imperial doctor.There are some things to remind Yan Meng, "We will leave for Chang'an in three days. If you are unwell, you should stay in Shangluo to recuperate."

Traveling is a matter of physical exertion, and it is the hardest time of the year to travel. If you start with an illness, you will face too much risk.

Yan Meng hesitated for a while, but finally accepted everyone's kindness, "If I am still in poor health when I set off, I will set off from Shangluo to chase you five days later."

As soon as this remark came out, it made it even more difficult for the people who were worried about her to rest assured. They all advised her to put her body first. If she couldn't set off with them, she might as well wait for the warmer spring weather before returning to Chang'an.

"What kind of disease can be sure for five days..." Ji Xinxue saw the embarrassment on Yan Meng's face, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind.He put aside his gaze on Yan Meng's face, and persuaded Zhang Siyi, who was trying to persuade Yan Meng to put her body first, "Just as long as she knows."

Li Jinhuan suddenly realized that someone was missing, "Where's Lin Wei?"

A guilty conscience flashed in Ji Xinxue's eyes, and she subconsciously raised her hand to cover the position of her Adam's apple.

Yu Heng poured a cup of warm water for Ji Xinxue, and said slowly, "I am heating the brazier."

"Why is he weaker than me?" The corners of Zhang Siyi's mouth raised a mocking arc.Today Lin Wei said that he was physically weak seven times in total. He thought Lin Wei's body was strong, but he didn't expect to secretly cook a brazier.

Zhang Siyi's deliberately loud words successfully awakened Lin Wei who was falling into self-doubt.He had no time to worry about Zhang Siyi's naive revenge, he walked cautiously to the edge of the screen, and looked at the crowd who were sitting around, waiting for the servants to pack their prey.

Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue were meeting each other and whispering, Zhang Siyi was looking in the direction of the screen with his arms and head, as if eagerly waiting for the next opportunity to say that he was weak.

Li Jinhuan was eating pastries to pad his stomach, and his expression was no different from usual.

Yan Meng leaned back on the chair with a pale face, holding a cup of warm water and taking small sips.She was unwell, and her face was ugly, which was normal.

Everyone is normal...so he must have read it wrong just now!

Lin Wei quietly retreated behind the screen, raised his arm and wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his head, and waited until the lingering panic in his heart completely subsided, then walked towards the direction where the crowd was sitting as if nothing had happened.

Sure enough, Zhang Siyi was holding grudges. On the surface, he greeted Lin Wei with care, but he couldn't leave the word "xu" in every sentence, and even said that he would give Lin Wei a tonic.

Lin Wei took advantage of the situation and sat beside Zhang Siyi, casually answering Zhang Siyi's greeting.

Zhang Siyi was still in the mood to joke with Lin Wei, but found that Lin Wei was still out of his mind and seemed to be unwell. The non-malicious sarcasm in his eyes gradually turned into concern, and he turned to order the servant to make ginger soup for Lin Wei.

"Did you take off your cloak too quickly when you were sweating, and you were blown by the cold wind?" Zhang Siyi raised her hand and placed it on Lin Wei's forehead. She was relieved when she found that the temperature was not high, and asked again, "Are you dizzy?"

"It's okay." Lin Wei dealt with Zhang Siyi absent-mindedly, but after all, she couldn't hold back the pain in her heart as if a rabbit was digging a hole, and quickly glanced at Ji Xinxue's neck.

The inconspicuous shadow nestled neatly in the very center, making it difficult for Lin Wei to pretend not to see it.

Zhang Siyi, who was worried about Lin Wei, immediately noticed Lin Wei's sluggishness, and he followed Lin Wei's straight gaze.

Lin Wei saw Zhang Siyi's movements out of the corner of his eye, and asked softly like a thief, "Did you see it?"

Hesitation appeared in Zhang Siyi's eyes, and she asked Lin Wei, "What did you see?"

"You didn't see it!" Lin Wei's eyes widened in disbelief.

He firmly believed that Zhang Siyi would not be able to keep calm when he saw the princess' Adam's apple, so he subconsciously thought that Zhang Siyi didn't see it.

Could it be that he was really confused by the cold wind and had hallucinations?

Yu Heng suddenly mentioned the matter of going back to Chang'an, and told everyone not to forget the important things.If there is anything unfinished in Shangzhou, it must be carefully explained to the servant.

After the business was finished, the servants had already moved the packed prey and the grill to the side hall. Spicy whole rabbit, cold shredded rabbit... steamed rabbit and other dishes were also placed on the table.

Zhang Siyi took the initiative to put the barbecue meat brought to him by the servant in front of Lin Wei, and looked at Lin Wei with a strange kindness in his eyes, "Eat more, go to bed early at night, and wake up tomorrow will not be uncomfortable."

Lin Wei glanced at Ji Xinxue who was gnawing on the rabbit's leg. With the movement of swallowing, the bulge on Ji Xinxue's neck inevitably became active.

The trance on his face became more obvious, and he obediently ate the barbecue that Zhang Siyi brought to him, without tasting anything.

Although Ji Xinxue is not sharp, Lin Wei's eyes are too straightforward.

He resisted the thought of catching Lin Wei's gaze, deliberately slowed down his eating speed, and silently guessed how Lin Wei would ask.

Until Yu Heng couldn't stand it anymore, and held Ji Xinxue's hand.Only then did Ji Xinxue realize that his stomach was aching from the stretch, but he was holding a rabbit leg to his mouth.

Facing Yu Heng's disapproving gaze, he subconsciously thought of destroying the corpse, and stuffed the rabbit's leg into Yu Heng's mouth.

Ji Xinxue said wittily, "I specially brought you the rabbit leg, is it delicious?"

Yu Heng let out a muffled laugh with his rabbit's leg in his mouth, and answered irrelevantly, "It's an honor."

Without waiting for Ji Xinxue to ask, Yu Heng said why he felt honored, "I am the only person who ate a whole rabbit leg besides you."

Ji Xinxue subconsciously looked at the bones on the table.

One, two, three, four, five... 23 rabbit leg bones.

Yu Heng enjoyed the last rabbit leg, and immediately left with Ji Xinxue, who was already overwhelmed.

Yan Meng drank the only Xiaoshi tea left in the teacup, and her complexion was many times better than when she first entered the door.She smiled and bid farewell to Li Jinhuan and others, preparing to go to bed early.Take the time to take good care of your body, and strive to set off with everyone and rush back to Chang'an.

"Yan Meng." Lin Wei called out to Yan Meng who had already got up in a hoarse voice, and said with difficulty, "Do you think the princess...is unusual."

"Unusual?" Doubt appeared in Yan Meng's eyes, and she asked tentatively, "Because you will be able to return to Chang'an soon, so the princess is very happy today?"

"It's not happy! It's unusual!" Lin Wei touched the Adam's apple in his neck.

The doubt in Yan Meng's eyes was even worse, she looked at Zhang Siyi and Li Jinhuan blankly, trying to get a reminder from Zhang Siyi and Li Jinhuan.

Zhang Siyi was silent for a while, suggesting to Lin Wei, "Princess is like this on weekdays. Last month, he thought the pink jasmine embroidered on the cloak was not good-looking, so he gave the cloak to Yan Meng, and he always wore the cloak of the county king when he went out. He also said that the king's cloak is bigger and more wind-proof, and asked someone to make a new cloak for him according to the size of the king's cloak."

Lin Wei nodded hastily, but her nervousness and anxiety did not ease.

He no longer cares whether the princess wears the clothes of the king of the county.

Li Jinhuan saw through Lin Wei's troubles during the meal. He gently reminded Lin Wei, "You want to ask about the scar on the princess's neck? In recent years, when the princess saw people, in order to cover the scar on her neck, she always wore All kinds of silk scarves. I think I forgot to wear silk scarves because I came here in a hurry.”

"Scar?" Lin Wei looked at Li Jinhuan in surprise, "That's obviously..."

"That's a scar." Li Jinhuan interrupted Lin Wei, "Did you forget? When she came to Shangluo from Anye last year, the princess was bitten by a poisonous insect on her neck. Not only did her voice become hoarse for a long time, but she also left an ugly scar."

Lin Wei looked at Li Jinhuan in a daze, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and he hurriedly left a sentence, "I'm not in a good mood, go back to rest earlier." ' and strode away.

Li Jinhuan was right, it was Scar.

His mind was damaged by the wind today, so he was frequently dazzled.

After Yan Meng also left, Li Jinhuan and Zhang Siyi got up and rushed back to their residence.

The more Zhang Siyi recalled Lin Wei's reaction, the more he felt something was wrong. He whispered to Li Jinhuan, "Did Lin Wei misunderstand what you meant?"

As early as the fourth year of Changping, various rumors began to circulate in Chang'an about "Princess Anwu is still a princess or a prince". Zhang Siyi guessed the authenticity of the rumors from various coincidences.

He had never heard of poisonous bugs that could make a person hoarse for fifteen months and leave scars that had to be covered with silk scarves.

The princess trusted them, so she was willing to reveal such a secret to them.

Unless the princess told them the truth about such a big event, even if they found out, they should not tell others about it or talk about it in private.

Zhang Siyi never mentioned anything about the princess's gender in the letters sent home.

He knew that what Li Jinhuan said in the side hall was to mention Lin Wei, so that Lin Wei understood the meaning of pretending to be confused.Thinking back on Lin Wei's reaction, he always felt something was wrong, Lin Wei seemed to really believe Li Jinhuan's words.

Li Jin hugged the knife tightly in his arms, and said in silence for a while, "The king of the county will explain it to him."

Both he and Zhang Siyi are willing to serve the princess and the county king for years of love.

Even though he realized that the princess intends to reveal her true gender to the people around her, and Chang'an's rumors may be a pavement for the princess to restore her identity in the future, he never told anyone about it.

He believed that Zhang Siyi would make the same choice.

However, Li Jinhuan had to admit that his and Zhang Siyi's allegiance was far from that of Lin Wei.

As a retainer, Lin Wei only has the county king in his heart.Not only can he die for the county king without hesitation, but everyone in his family has this awareness.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Wei is particularly unable to accept the princess's true gender.As a military commander, he is obviously not careless, but he has repeatedly ignored the flaws that the princess deliberately revealed, and he is not even willing to guess that the princess of the future county is actually a lord.

Li Jinhuan can only be thankful that the county king accepted this matter earlier than everyone else.

Lin Wei always avoids facing the truth for the sake of the king of the county. As long as the king of the county can convince Lin Wei that 'he can accept that his fiancée is actually the prince', Lin Wei can accept the true gender of the princess.

The next day, Yu Heng took Lin Wei out alone, and no one knew what Yu Heng had said to Lin Wei.

But everyone could see that Lin Wei, who had barely regained his energy in the morning, returned to the other courtyard, with frustration in the corners of his eyes and brows like a puppy that accidentally fell into ice water.

Fortunately, Lin Wei was only frustrated, and did not hide from Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue.

Three days later, Ji Xinxue and others left Shangluo and headed towards Chang'an.

After half a month, when Ji Xinxue was only two days away from Chang'an, she met Princess Baoding's guard of honor. It was Ji Jingrou who also delayed her return to Chang'an at the last moment.

Ji Xinxue was dozing off with a soft pillow in her arms when she heard that the scouts were coming to report that she would soon meet Princess Baoding.Even if the journey is just a change from sleeping in the bedroom and study to sitting in the carriage every day for him, Ji Xinxue will still be awakened by various sounds at night and become listless.

"Third Sister?" Ji Xinxue broke out of the sleepy state in an instant, raised her hand suddenly to touch her neck and hair, and said repeatedly, "How long will it take to meet Third Sister? Slow down immediately and call Qingyun and Caishi Come."

If I had known that I would meet Ji Jingrou on the road today, he must have dressed honestly after waking up!

Yu Heng raised his head from the storybook to look at the panicked Ji Xinxue, and said slowly, "Princess Baoding will know about this sooner or later."

Ji Xinxue picked up the box containing various silk scarves and put them on her lap. The tension on her face remained unchanged, and she honestly told Yu Heng the most sincere thoughts in her heart, "I'm nervous."

If it is simply counted by the time spent together, the time Li Jinhuan and Zhang Siyi spent with him was no less than the time spent with him by their brothers and sisters at home.

But Ji Xinxue was far more nervous when she thought about telling her siblings her real gender than when she planned to reveal it to Li Jinhuan and Zhang Siyi.

When Yu Heng thought of Ji Xinxue's deepest knot in his heart, his heart suddenly softened.He put down the notebook in his hand, walked over to Ji Xinxue, and helped Ji Xinxue choose the clothes and accessories to wear in the meeting.

Today's Ji Xinxue can no longer be like before, just by trimming her sword eyebrows into the shape of willow leaves, wearing women's clothes and combing her hair in a bun, she can perfectly disguise herself as a girl.

Caishi and Qingyun came from the carriage behind, and immediately began to dress up Ji Xinxue after cleaning their hands.

First carefully clean up the stubble around Ji Xinxue's lips, and then carefully modify Ji Xinxue's face with gouache.

Fortunately, although Ji Xinxue has started to grow a beard, the stubble is thin and soft, and the pores are also extremely fine. As long as it is removed in time, no flaws will be seen.

Ji Xinxue's appearance is very similar to that of Emperor Changping. Although the facial features are so exquisite that men and women cannot be distinguished, but the outline of the face is extremely heroic. Unless it is preconceived, it is difficult to be mistaken for the gender.

Thanks to his youthful stature and lack of broad shoulders like Emperor Changping, he could continue to pretend to be a princess after careful makeup.

Every time she puts on makeup, Qingyun puts flowers of different shapes on Ji Xinxue's eyebrows.Turn Shu Lang, who belonged to a young man, into a graceful demeanor.

In order not to make the flowers on her forehead stand out, Ji Xinxue could only choose luxurious jewelry, and then choose luxurious robes for the luxurious jewelry.

It took a full half an hour, when Qingyun and Caishi were sweating finely on their foreheads, Ji Xinxue finished dressing up, from a handsome and gentle young man to a beautiful and graceful princess.

Because she was too lazy to go out in winter, Ji Xinxue, who hadn't put on makeup for a long time, looked at the beauty in the bronze mirror, and inevitably regretted that no one of her sisters could inherit the appearance of Emperor Changping.

If he could have a younger sister whose facial features were exactly like Emperor Changping's, he would definitely bring the most gorgeous clothes and jewelry to her.

Little did he know that when he looked at his reflection in the mirror and felt regretful, there were also people who looked at him looking in the mirror and felt regretful.

Yu Heng lowered his eyes to cover the astonishment in his eyes, took out a buyao with various gemstone tassels from the dowry, and inserted it on the side of the peacock's crown, "Make more jewelry after the year, and Mo Changshi sent a box of clear ones a few years ago." Sapphire, make a complete set of 28 heads."

"No, every season there is jewelry that is put away before it can be used in time. It is enough if you don't make new jewelry. What else do you want to make?" Ji Xinxue disliked the bad angle of Yu Heng's stepping and shaking, and pointed to the peacock crown The position behind said, "Move the step shaker here, just enough to hang with the peacock's tail feathers."

Yu Heng adjusted Bu Yao's position according to Ji Xinxue's request, and said in a melancholy tone, "If you don't fight now, maybe you won't have the chance to wear it in the future."

Ji Xinxue paused for a moment with her hand holding the bronze mirror, and raised her eyelids to look at Yu Heng.

He seemed to hear regret from Yu Heng's tone?

Yu Heng looked at Ji Xinxue without dodging, and discussed, "A few days ago, armbands were popular in Chang'an, so I happened to wear a few more. First, five each made of gold, silver, and jade. If there is not enough, add more. "

Ji Xinxue looked down at the beautiful woman in the bronze mirror, with reluctance in her eyes, "Okay."

After finally raising such a big account, suddenly there is a crisis of shutting down the server, alas.

"Princess, I can already see Princess Baoding's guard of honor." Jin Wuwei said loudly outside the carriage.

Yu Heng held Ji Xinxue's hand, bent down and whispered in Ji Xinxue's ear, "Don't be afraid, the first emperor has passed away for many years, even if Princess Baoding knew that you were the lord, she wouldn't be threatened by your presence Feel."

Ji Xinxue was silent for a while, but after all, she couldn't overcome the emotion of worrying about gains and losses. She picked up the gauze scarf on the dowry and carefully wrapped it around her neck, "Aye said in the letter, if I don't know how to tell my brothers and sisters about this , I will wear the prince’s regular clothes to pay him New Year’s greetings on the first day of the year.”

After Emperor Changping came to the throne, he entertained his ministers and family members with a palace banquet on New Year's Eve. On the first day, he had to find time alone to take his children to pay New Year's greetings to Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su.

Ji Xinxue appeared in the prince's uniform on the first day, needless to say anything, it would remind others of the raging rumors in Chang'an.

"With Aye here, I feel more confident." Ji Xinxue smiled wryly, because the person in front of him was Yu Heng, so he could calmly face his own weakness.

Yu Heng's consolation hit his most uneasy place, he didn't dare to mention this matter to his brothers and sisters alone, he was most afraid that they would feel that his birth was a drag on them.

Even though he knew in his heart that his brothers and sisters had never been afraid because of his gender, Ji Xinxue still couldn't face the slightest possibility of being hated by his brothers and sisters.

The movement outside became more and more noisy, and a faint voice calling for 'Princess Baoding' came into the carriage, but Yu Heng calmly kept leaning over Ji Xinxue's ear, "I will accompany you to pay New Year's greetings to His Majesty that day."

The tension between Ji Xinxue's brows eased visibly with the naked eye, but instead she held Yu Heng's hand and nodded heavily.

How could he have forgotten that Yu Heng would also pay Aye New Year's greetings alone on the first day.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted from the outside suddenly, followed by Ji Jingrou's excited voice, "It's not in vain that I specially calculated the time for you to set off from Shangluo, it's finally not in vain..."

Ji Jingrou looked at the person in the corner who was almost face-to-face, the smile froze in the corners of her eyes and brows, "Excuse me."

After finishing speaking, she gently lowered the curtain of the car, looked back at the four characters of "Princess Baoding" on the high flag in the distance, and fell into thought.

Aye was right, it was time for her to find a son-in-law.

Yu Heng exited the carriage, greeted Ji Jingrou, and went to find Li Jinhuan and others to pass the time.

Under Ji Xinxue's repeated urging, Ji Jingrou finally agreed to put his hand on Ji Xinxue's arm, and stepped into the carriage reservedly.

She sat down under Ji Xinxue's service with a stern face, after all, she still didn't hold back the growing smile in her eyes, grabbed Ji Xinxue's arm, let Ji Xinxue sit next to her, and looked carefully for almost two My sister who I haven't seen in years.

From the glimpse outside the carriage just now, she only noticed the intimate posture of Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng. Now that she was facing Ji Xinxue, Ji Jingrou was startled by Ji Xinxue's change.

It's hateful that this kind of girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, who can be both happy and angry, was easily given to a debt collector surnamed Yu by Aye a few years ago!

Ji Jingrou covered her chest in pain, "It would be great if I could be like Aye."

When Ji Xinxue heard this, because of the worries in her heart, the unfamiliar feeling towards Ji Jingrou immediately dissipated completely.

Since he is the only one who has inherited the beauty of Emperor Changping among his brothers and sisters in the family, it is not good for Ji Xinxue to talk more about this topic, so as not to poke Ji Jingrou's hurt heart again.

"Sister, why did you return to Chang'an at this time?" Ji Xinxue thought that Ji Jingrou would return to Chang'an at least half a month earlier than him.

Ji Jingrou waved his hand, and the regret on his face became more intense, "It's not because the elder sister and the fourth daughter both complained about Aye's urging marriage in their letters. I'm afraid that I won't be able to escape this trouble when I return to Chang'an, so I want to go back later."

She regretted it.

How could she be so obsessed with thinking that Xiao Wu would help her share Aye's attention?

Xiaowu has the king of Xianglin County, the person who has the least worries about urging marriage.She stood at the same place with Xiao Wu and King Xianglin, forming a stark contrast, wouldn't it attract Aye's attention even more?

unwise.

Curiosity appeared in Ji Xinxue's eyes, and she urged, "What did elder sister say?"

Regarding Ji Minyan's selection of a son-in-law, he has been eating it for almost six years.There are new flavors every time, never get bored.

In the second year of Changping, both he and Ji Jingrou felt that Emperor Changping asked the virtuous concubine and Qinghe county prince's son-in-law to personally draw up candidates for the son-in-law, and Ji Minyan would definitely choose a son-in-law from among them to marry.

Unexpectedly, three years later, the people on that list had married wives and had children one after another, but Ji Minyan still had no intention of getting married, not even a roommate.

Ji Jingrou hugged Ji Xinxue's arm tightly, and leaned against her younger sister who was already the same height as her before she knew it, feeling a sudden surge of pride in her heart.

When Ah Xue returns to Chang'an, she will see who has the courage to compete for the title of 'Chang'an's No. [-] Beauty'.

The eldest brother is not a hungry ghost, how could he marry back to the palace because of the title of the most beautiful woman in Chang'an, no matter whether it is fragrant or stinky.

Don't they think that the eldest brother's side concubine doesn't need Aye's nod?

Ji Jingrou had already made up her mind to go back to Chang'an, how to embarrass the person who tried to use the title of "the most beautiful woman in Chang'an" to win King Ling, she was in a good mood immediately, and carefully told Ji Xinxue the latest news she got from Ji Minyan.

"The eldest sister said that Aye urged her to choose someone from the Turkic prince, the Nanzhao prince, and the Abuhan Ice of Mohe. If you really want, you can put them all in the princess mansion, but you must officially get married within half a year. The son-in-law is still the same. There are five candidates."

Compared with the list of sons-in-law three years ago, there were only men with good reputations, good temperament, who were neither young nor old, this time the list provided by Emperor Changping to Ji Minyan was still five names, but it could be called all-inclusive.

There is the youngest son of a general in Northern Xinjiang, who has been proficient in horse bow and horse since he was a child, and sooner or later he will go to Northern Xinjiang to show his skills.

There is a son of the Hou Mansion, who can write at the age of three, and can be a teacher at the age of five. He has the reputation of a prodigy since he was a child.It's a pity that he is too straightforward, and often pokes people's hearts in communication.

There is a man from the public house, neither a young man nor a young man. He has been favored by his ancestors since he was a child. He has made no achievements in literature and martial arts. He only excels in entertainment. He can be called the most entertaining man in Chang'an.People who can play better than him have been contaminated with whoring and gambling early on, and they are not as clean as him.

There was a student from a poor family, and Emperor Changping specially selected him as Tanhualang, not only because he was young and handsome, worthy of the reputation of Tanhualang, but also meant to regard him as a candidate for his son-in-law.

Being able to become Tanhua as a student from a poor family requires knowledge and perseverance, needless to say.The only disadvantage is that he has little money and no real estate. He has relied on relatives and friends for many years and owes a lot of favors.

For Ji Minyan, this is not a shortcoming.

Finally, there is a gentleman from a small official family. It is said that because he is too handsome, he dare not go out easily, for fear of being surrounded by young men and ladies in the streets and alleys.

When Ji Xinxue heard that Emperor Changping wanted Ji Minyan to choose someone from Turkic Prince, Nanzhao Prince and Abu Hanbing to live in his room, she leaned against Ji Jingrou's smiling face and leaned forward.

He had thought that the Turkic prince would have white skin, a high nose bridge, and blue eyes, and he was looking forward to seeing the Turkic prince in Chang'an.

As a result... none of them guessed right.

The real Turkic prince has black skin, short nose, and black eyes, and his demeanor is far inferior to that of Chang'an's Langjun, and he can't speak Yu Chao's words.

When Prince Nanzhao and Abu Hanbing arrived in Chang'an, Ji Xinxue had already rushed to the fiefdom again, so he could only get to know them in Ji Jingrou's letter.

Prince Nanzhao's appearance can only be considered ordinary, but when facing Ji Minyan, he has enigmatic self-confidence.He once said in front of Ji Minyan that if Ji Minyan was his concubine, he would definitely treat Ji Minyan well. People in Nanzhao are very easy-going and easy to get along with.

After reading Ji Jingrou's letter, Ji Xinxue had to admire the courage of Prince Nanzhao.

Ah Buhanbing's time in Chang'an was too short, and Ji Jingrou's letter only said that he was good-looking, but he didn't say how good-looking he was.

With the disappointing Great Turkic Prince and the Puxin Prince of Nanzhao first, Ji Xinxue really finds it hard to believe that Abu Hanbing will be better than the man Ji Minyan can choose from in Chang'an.

Let the eldest sister choose one of these three people to take into the mansion... It is really embarrassing for the elder sister.

Ji Xinxue seriously suspected that Emperor Changping wanted Ji Minyan to recognize the excellence of the five consort candidates.Only then will the princes of other races be accepted as concubines as a prerequisite for the wedding within six months.
