I was a princess in ancient times
Chapter 101
Ji Jingrou raised her hand to straighten the hairpin on Ji Xinxue's head, and said in a tone of helplessness or indulgence, "What are you laughing at?"
"No." Ji Xinxue shook her head and asked, "Who does Elder Sister prefer?"
According to the identities of these five people, if Ji Minyan likes more than one person at the same time, it is not impossible to admit more than one person into the house at the same time, it just depends on how Ji Minyan chooses.
"Guess?" Ji Jingrou blinked and reminded Ji Xinxue, "I once offered advice to Eldest Sister in a letter, but Eldest Sister chose someone else."
Ji Xinxue smacked her face with her hand, lost in thought.
It's a bit difficult to guess, in the past when he predicted Ji Minyan's choice in marriage, he never got it right.
After a while, Ji Xinxue said the answer with hesitation on his face, "The son of the Hou family?"
"How do you know?" Ji Jingrou grabbed Ji Xinxue's arm in surprise.
Knowing from Ji Jingrou's reaction that she guessed right, the corners of Ji Xinxue's mouth curled up in joy, "I just think he is most likely to be seen by Eldest Sister."
Frustrated emotions flashed across Ji Jingrou's face, and she muttered in a low voice, "I thought I didn't get Sister's mind right because I was two years younger than her, but I didn't expect it to be because I wasn't smart enough."
She considers herself to be the closest person to her eldest sister among her siblings in the family. There are some things that her eldest sister will not tell her elder brother or Ming Tong, but she will confide in her in a letter.
When she received the elder sister's letter, she didn't close her eyes for almost two days, carefully thinking about the pros and cons of the five people, and finally suggested that the elder sister choose the dude or Tanhua Lang from the palace as her son-in-law.If you like the son of a small official, you can pass the word to him and take him in as a roommate after the wedding.
Among the brothers and sisters, the eldest sister and the fifth child are the smartest.
Xiao Wu was able to guess the elder sister's choice in just a few breaths, it must be because she was clever enough to think of being with the elder sister.
"Eldest sister has hesitated for a long time between the youngest son of the northern general and the son of the Hou family, and she prefers the son of the Hou family. She hasn't told Aye that she has a choice in her heart, and she plans to talk about it in a few years." Ji Jingrou sighed, carefully Talk to Ji Xinxue about the origin of the son of the Hou family.
The Marquis of Runan is one of the few founding nobles of the Yu Dynasty. He was just an ordinary businessman in the previous dynasty, because when Emperor Wuning was in the most difficult time, he devoted all his family's efforts to provide Emperor Wuning with three months of military supplies, and was able to send his youngest son to him. Send it to Emperor Wuning.
This youngest son is the parachutist, the first Marquis of Runan.
After the death of Emperor Wuning, the Marquis of Runan immediately became an official.The son of the Marquis of Runan borrowed his light to become a close minister of Emperor Qianyuan in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that the son of the Marquis of Runan died under the sword of an assassin because he protected Emperor Qianyuan before he could make his way to the top.The only son of the son of the Marquis of Runan was still young, so Emperor Qianyuan made the younger sister of the son of the Marquis of Runan a noble concubine, and the mansion of the Marquis of Runan was still in the Qianyuan Dynasty for more than ten years.
However, the heirs of the Runan Hou Mansion seem to have had some bad luck.
The only son of the son of the Marquis of Runan became the grandson of the Marquis of Runan after he got married.Fortunately, he didn't become a dead soul under the knife, but he was hit hard on the waist and couldn't stand up anymore.
The Marquis of Runan couldn't bear the fact that his daughter and grandson were killed in the Lieshan Incident, and his grandson was also permanently disabled. After a few months of lingering illness, he died, and his grandson became the new Marquis of Runan.
The new Marquis of Runan learned from the painful experience and decided to let his only son abandon martial arts and follow literature.He spent a lot of money and thought to hire a famous teacher for his only son.I only hope that the only son can be named on the gold list, even if it is the last one.
In order to achieve the goal, the new Marquis of Runan has tried all possible methods.Including but not limited to spending money to send the only son to study in various prestigious colleges, distributing money to support poor students to pray for the only son... Inviting each new class of Jinshi to teach the only son alone in the Runanhou Mansion.
In the end, the new Marquis of Runan gave up this extravagant hope and asked to marry the daughter of the number one scholar for his only son, finally welcoming the Wenqu star of the Marquis of Runan's mansion.
This Wenqu star is Ji Minyan's favorite candidate for son-in-law, and he is currently the son of the Marquis of Runan.
Ji Xinxue lowered her eyes to get rid of the complexity in her eyes.
The background of the Runan Hou Mansion is far deeper than he imagined.As long as the old Marquis is still alive, the connections accumulated by the first Marquis of Runan will not be severed from the Marquis of Runan.
Over the years, the old Lord Hou has exhausted his only son's 'study', and he does not know how many contacts he has accumulated among civil servants.
Although Marquis Runan has only mastered the six senses in reading, he has a very transparent personality, and he can talk about the same things no matter he is with the noble children or scholars.
There are several generations of accumulated background, as long as Runanhou Shizi's real talents and knowledge are worthy of his reputation outside, no matter how unsophisticated he is and unable to accomplish anything in the officialdom, he can at least become a well-known celebrity.
Ji Jingrou picked up the tassels on Ji Xinxue's waist to play with, the gloom in his eyes became more and more intense.
If the elder sister really liked the son of Marquis Runan, she would not still hesitate after making up her mind, insisting on telling Aye about it after a few years.
How could she not guess why the elder sister chose Runan Hou Shizi at all, she just didn't want to think about it.
Aye insisted on keeping filial piety for the first emperor for three years. From the 21st year of Yanguang to the second year of Changping, all the concubines in the harem were drinking Bizitang.
In the third year of Changping, the concubines stopped taking medicine.In the past two years, three nobles have conceived and gave birth to emperor heirs who were promoted to concubines.
They are two princesses and a prince.
The eldest brother is no longer Aye's only prince.
"Axue..." Ji Jingrou's tone was blank, not knowing what to say to his sister.
It's not that she can't accept the existence of younger siblings, because she knows that no matter how many younger siblings there are, Aye's love and indulgence for her will never decrease.
But as long as she thought that the little brother who was just a few months old might threaten the status of the eldest brother, she couldn't help liking the little brother.
Ji Jingrou said in a voice that only she and Ji Xinxue could hear, "It would be great if Aye could make elder brother the crown prince as soon as possible."
That way, she can continue to look forward to the birth of her younger siblings.
Ji Xinxue nodded invisibly, and he also hoped from the bottom of his heart that his elder brother would become a prince soon.
Not only did Ji Jingrou and Ji Mingtong hint in the letter that he felt that there was a gap between him and his younger siblings, but he also felt that the brothers and sisters in the hidden residence and the younger siblings in the palace belonged to two generations.He will love his younger siblings who were born in the palace, but it is difficult to feel dependent.
Who to choose as the prince and when to establish the prince are important matters for the family and the country. Ji Xinxue believes that Emperor Changping will make the most suitable choice.
In recent years, people except Ji Baoshan have gone to the fief to inspect the fief, only Ji Jingyu has remained in Chang'an, and it can be seen that Emperor Changping still prefers the eldest son.
Ji Xinxue didn't want to see Ji Jingrou's depressed look, so she deliberately asked Ji Jingrou if she was interested, "Did Aye choose a relative for the eldest brother?"
If Aye intends to make his eldest brother the crown prince, it will definitely be reflected in the selection of relatives.
After all, the princess is the future queen, or the future queen who is destined not to be supported by her mother-in-law.Without the ability to convince the wives inside and outside, there will definitely be a 'disaster'.
The melancholy on Ji Jingrou's face eased slightly, and a slight smile appeared in his eyes, "Situ's granddaughter, Qianniuwei General Rong Guang's first daughter, or the first eldest granddaughter of Minister of Rites."
Before entering Chang'an, Situ had served as the shepherd of Taiyuan Prefecture for nearly ten years, and he could be called the elder of the Three Dynasties.Rong Guang's status among the generals in Chang'an was second only to Mo Yao and Deng Hongying, similar to Dingbei Hou, but neither Mo Yao nor Deng Hongying had girls of the right age in their families, and Dingbei Hou was not as good as Rong Guang who had a Situ father.
The girl from the Rong family can be regarded as the most prominent girl of the right age among the generals in Chang'an.
Since the founding of the country, the Zhang family has sent out officials from generation to generation. Although they are civil servants, their future is more stable than that of nobles.
From Emperor Wuning to Emperor Changping, the emperors of the Five Dynasties shared eight Ministers of Rites, six of whom were from the Zhang family.
In addition to the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taichang Temple, and Zongren Mansion all had ritual officials, most of whom were competent by the Zhang family or disciples of the Zhang family.
Even though the Ministry of Rites is recognized as a government office for the elderly, and the official positions related to the rituals are all official positions for the elderly, it is still not to be underestimated to reach the Zhang family's level.
The Zhang family teaches the eldest daughter the strictest, and has always been a model for a family with a hundred daughters.Civil servants want the Zhang family's network, and the nobles and generals want to have the aristocratic atmosphere of the Zhang family.
When the aunt of the girl from the Zhang family got married, Chang'an didn't know how many jokes were made.In the end, the prince's son of Qinghe County asked Emperor Yanguang for a marriage with his old father at home, and successfully embraced the beauty.
Ji Jingrou suddenly remembered that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were surrounded by people from the Ministry of Rites, and added, "Maybe it's your sister who accompanied you."
"It has already been decided, only choose from these two people?" Ji Xinxue asked, "Let brother choose by himself? What does elder sister say."
Ji Jingrou nodded, "Aye asked the elder brother to choose from these two people, and he didn't say it couldn't be someone else, but the elder brother is not the elder sister..."
Ji Xinxue understood in seconds that the eldest brother had never said 'no' to Aye, and there was no girl who insisted on marrying him.Unless he suddenly rebelled, the eldest brother would never suddenly have the idea of rebelling against Aye in marriage.
"The elder sister said that the elder brother should make up his own mind about the marriage, and she specifically reminded me in the letter that I am not allowed to give the elder brother any advice." Ji Jingrou turned to look at the smart younger sister beside her, "If you were the elder brother, who would you choose? ?”
Ji Xinxue knew what Ji Jingrou meant.
It's not asking him, if he is the elder brother, who would he choose to join hands with him for the rest of his life and share weal and woe.It was asking him, if he wanted to be the prince, who would he choose to be the princess.
He thought carefully for a while, and wrote the word "Zhang" on Ji Jingrou's palm.
The Rong family was in the Yanguang Dynasty, and they suddenly became popular in the eyes of Emperor Yanguang, and then they cooked oil in the Changping Dynasty, becoming an upstart in one fell swoop.
However, the Zhang family started from the Wuning Dynasty and has developed steadily until today.
Although in terms of power, the Zhang family is far inferior to the Rong family, but in terms of stability, the Rong family is far inferior to the Zhang family.
Whether it is out of selfish considerations or from the analysis of objective factors, Ji Xinxue feels that Emperor Changping will remain at its peak for at least two to thirty years.
Ji Jingyu has a gentle temper, does not contend with the world, and treats his father with utmost filial piety, so he will never have the desire to wait.
In just 20 years, the Rong family stood at the pinnacle of power in the Yu Dynasty, and it seems that they can go further.If self-cultivation cannot keep up with the power, it is inevitable that the foundation will be unstable, and Ji Jingyu may be dragged down by tricks at some point.
Because the Rong family rose rapidly, the low-level officials who surrounded the Rong family were, in all likelihood, eager for quick success and quick success, and could easily affect the mentality of the Rong family from the bottom up.
In contrast, the Zhang family already has the first princess of Qinghe County, who is guaranteed income from droughts and floods. Even if there is another prince and concubine who is expected to become a crown prince, he will not easily take risks.
In case...Emperor Changping finally chooses someone else, the Zhang family can also protect Ji Jingyu.
Ji Jingrou carefully felt the handwriting on the palm of his hand, and the brows that had just been stretched for a long time frowned again.The right candidate in her mind is a girl from the Rong family.
It's different from the smart sister's choice, alas.
After talking about the elder sister and elder brother's marriage, Ji Xinxue naturally thought of Ji Mingtong.
After the new year, Ji Mingtong is seventeen.I started to choose a consort earlier, and then carefully prepared the details of the big wedding. I got married between the ages of 19 and 20, and the time was just right.
"She, she won't be able to settle down for a while." Ji Jingrou lazily shook her head, and suddenly understood why Emperor Changping urged Ji Minyan to get married more and more urgently.
Ji Mingtong was also choosing a son-in-law, and most of them had already been rejected by Princess Huayang and Ji Cheng before Ji Mingtong saw him.
Ji Mingtong believed whatever these two said, and he refused to meet anyone, and directly used the reasons he heard from Princess Huayang and Ji Cheng to veto the person Emperor Changping had chosen for her.
There are three unmarried brothers and sisters in front of Ji Mingtong. Emperor Changping has limited patience with her, and seeing that Ji Mingtong is full of childishness that has not yet grown up, he knows that he is pestering Huayang, who is engaged to the natal nephew of the virtuous concubine, all day long. The eldest princess played with Ji Cheng who was already on errand, and simply ignored Ji Mingtong.
"The gentleman surnamed Kang next to Fourth Sister was sent away?"
Ji Xinxue squinted her eyes happily, hearing so many inside stories about the marriages of her brothers and sisters, it was finally something that could make people feel relaxed.
Ji Jingrou chuckled, remembering when Ji Xinxue was still in Chang'an, Ji Mingtong swayed wildly between the "lover" and Ji Xinxue, Ji Cheng, and Princess Huayang.
She ruthlessly broke Ji Xinxue's fantasy, "You, Hua Yang, and Ping Guogong haven't killed him yet, how could he be willing to leave Xiaosi? Anyway, he can't become Xiaosi's consort, so I didn't mention him. So as not to spoil your good mood."
The smile on Ji Xinxue's face froze immediately, and she looked at Ji Jingrou sadly.
As the sky was getting dark, Ji Jingrou loudly asked the Jin Wuwei outside the carriage to fetch her clothes and bedding, and wanted to sleep with Ji Xinxue.
Ji Xinxue blinked nervously, trying to persuade Ji Jingrou to give up the idea.He lowered his head on purpose, and said in a frustrated tone, "I often make unpleasant noises when I'm sleeping soundly at night, and my sister will be so disturbed that I can't sleep."
Ji Jingrou stared at Ji Xinxue with a smile that was not a smile, and snorted coldly, then suddenly got a strange look, "The king of Xianglin County can fall asleep, but I can't?"
She raised her hand, intending to pinch Ji Xinxue's face, but in the end she only tapped on the side of Ji Xinxue's ear.
Don't move your face, such a beautiful face will never leave any marks.
In the future, if she finds out who dares to touch Ji Xinxue's face, she must fight that person desperately!
Ji Xinxue's brows showed obvious guilt, and her emotional intelligence was full at the critical moment, "We all had insomnia during that time, and we slept alone until dawn, so we got together. I can't bear my sister to be unable to sleep because of my noise. Sleep."
Hearing this, Ji Jingrou lowered her raised eyebrows slightly, but she still couldn't hold back her ready-to-move hand, and lightly touched Ji Xinxue's side face, "It's okay, sister is happy to see you, even if she can't sleep!"
I can't feel the traces of makeup at all, it really is natural white!
Ah Xue is the good president, looks like Aye, and is naturally fair like Concubine Zhong Shu, picking out all the good points!
From the moment Ji Jingrou mentioned Yu Heng, Ji Xinxue could no longer refuse to sleep with Ji Jingrou.
As long as you use the excuses of 'I'm not used to sleeping with people', 'I don't want others to see the scar on my neck'...'I can't sleep when someone is around', I will definitely face 'You haven't treated your sister yet' Heng is close. ' the soul questioned.
After thinking about it, Ji Xinxue realized that only by directly confessing her gender to Ji Jingrou, could she refuse the proposal of sleeping with feet without hurting her feelings.
He put his hand on the silk scarf around his neck, with hesitation in his eyes.
"Princess, go and see the king." Lin Wei's voice came from outside the carriage, "The king suddenly got motion sickness and has already vomited twice. No matter how we persuade him, he refuses to take medicine."
Ji Xinxue immediately forgot about the danger of falling asleep, and rushed out of the carriage, "What's going on?"
He had never seen Yu Heng get motion sickness before, could it be the wind and cold?
Lin Wei immediately raised his arms to help Ji Xinxue get out of the carriage, and said repeatedly, "I, the king of the county, Yan Meng, and Zhang Siyi were playing bird cards to pass the time. The king of the county suddenly looked ugly and jumped out of the carriage in a hurry. Wang was vomiting on the side of the road. It has been at least half an hour since then."
Ji Jingrou also poked her head out of the carriage, "Did the imperial physician take a pulse? I have some good medicine."
Lin Wei hurriedly cupped his hands to Ji Jingrou, "The imperial doctor said it was just motion sickness, because the king of the county had a severe attack today because of the cold wind. As long as he took medicine, he could relieve the symptoms of headache and nausea, but the king of the county refused to take medicine and wanted to push through."
"How can this work?" Ji Jingrou also supported Lin Wei's arm and jumped out of the carriage, striding to chase after Ji Xinxue who had already run away with her skirt in her hands, "Let the imperial doctor boil the medicine directly, and cook more, if he still refuses to take the medicine , and asked someone to pour the medicine down."
Lin Wei fell into silence, the king of the county refused to take the medicine, of course he had to coax the king of the county to take the medicine, how could he do it?
Ji Jingrou didn't hear Lin Wei's answer, thinking that Lin Wei didn't hear her clearly, so he deliberately repeated what he just said.
She didn't hear Lin Wei's answer again, she looked at Lin Wei in surprise.
Lin Wei nodded heavily under Ji Jingrou's increasingly impatient gaze, and turned to look for the imperial physician.
Fortunately, when the princess of the future county treats the king of the county, she has always been very patient, not as rough as Princess Baoding... No, there is no future princess of the county anymore.
Lin Wei sighed melancholy, and unknowingly quickened her pace.
Ji Jingrou and Lin Wei delayed for some time, and spent time looking for the carriage where Yu Heng was, just in time to see Ji Xinxue striding into the carriage with her skirt in hand.
She paused in her steps, with hesitation in her eyes.
I haven't seen her for nearly two years, and the changes that have happened to Ah Xue seem to be a bit big.Not only has his stature become taller, but his skills are also much sharper than before.
Could it be that Ah Xue finally got rid of her liking for sleeping in and getting up early every day to practice martial arts?
It's strange why she hasn't heard of it at all.
Panting and walking to the front of the carriage, Ji Jingrou saw the low stool in the shadow, and the doubts in her heart dissipated instantly.
It turned out that it was because of the low stool that Ah Xue 'jumped' into the carriage so lightly.
Ji Xinxue pushed open the curtain and strode into the carriage.He couldn't tolerate other people at all, only Yu Heng who was lying in the innermost place, "What's going on? Are you uncomfortable?"
Li Jinhuan, who was sitting at the door with his sword in his arms, handed the stove by his side to Ji Xinxue, and said in a low voice, "It's all right, I'll be fine when I get to Chang'an."
Ji Xinxue picked up the hand stove and rolled it over her body in a hurry, not caring whether the charcoal powder rolled out of the hand stove would damage the delicate clothes, and strode towards Yu Heng who had been silent all along.
They still have at least three days to go to Chang'an, and they can only recover after arriving in Chang'an. How can they be fine.
Approaching Yu Heng, Ji Xinxue's eyes caught off guard and broke into the smiling phoenix eyes, and the heart in her throat dropped suddenly.
He raised his hand and touched Yu Heng's forehead, "How is it, where is it uncomfortable?"
The cold and dry touch on his hands made Ji Xinxue startled that he ran too fast just now, and his palms were full of sweat, so he quickly took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the sweat stained on Yu Heng's forehead.
Yu Heng let out an invisible laugh, and said in a low voice, "I'm really fine. If..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt Ji Xinxue's face approaching him quickly.
The moment their foreheads touched, Yu Heng not only felt the presence of the other party through the blink of an eye, but could even feel the warm breath that did not belong to him.
He subconsciously looked down.
It's pink lipstick.
No, he watched with his own eyes that Ah Xue applied the transparent paste on her lips with the pulp of her little finger. This was Ah Xue's original lip color.
Yu Heng's powerless arm by his side suddenly tightened, his fingers were ready to bend, and a voice that almost drowned out reason suddenly sounded in his heart.
'Keep him, don't let him go. '
The moment he raised his hand, cold air rushed over his face, and it was Ji Jingrou's voice randomly, "How is Xianglin County King?"
Yu Heng put down his hand quietly, watching Ji Xinxue get further and further away from him.
I don't know when Ah Xue will make lip balm next time, and whether he will ask him if he wants it as usual.
Ji Xinxue said to Ji Jingju who was parked at the door of the carriage, "I don't have a fever, I'll ask the imperial doctor if I can eat."
"It's fine if you don't have a fever." Ji Jingrou nodded, "I have already ordered the people just now to let the imperial physician boil the medicine."
After finishing speaking, Ji Jingrou looked at the person beside him, "Is there any pastry that can fill your stomach?"
What's wrong with this man?
Knowing that King Xianglin was unwell, he actually held his sword and faced the corner of the car, not paying attention to the situation of King Xianglin at all times.
She knew that Axue had sensed whether King Xianglin had a fever by pressing his forehead against his forehead just now. The picture looked so imaginative, but King Xianglin was ill!
Li Jinhuan still kept his posture facing the 'corner', "Someone has already gone to get pastries."
It was not until it was confirmed that Yu Heng had no fever that Ji Xinxue was in the mood to ask why Yu Heng fell ill suddenly.
Li Jinhuan repeated what Lin Wei said to Ji Jingrou, "Get a good rest tonight, and the symptoms of motion sickness will be relieved, otherwise the symptoms will be worse tomorrow."
Yu Heng shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine, I'll recover within three days at most."
Ji Xinxue patted Yu Heng's arm angrily.
"You don't understand medical principles, how do you know...it's okay." Ji Xinxue's mind suddenly flashed. When he just rushed into the carriage, Li Jinhuan also told him that Yu Heng would recover in three days.
Three days, they still have three days to go back to Chang'an.
If he hid in Yu Heng's carriage for three days on the grounds of taking care of Yu Heng, he would be able to avoid falling asleep with Ji Jingrou.
Under Ji Xinxue's persuasion, Yu Heng happily ate the cake, but still firmly refused the indescribable tranquilizer.
Seeing that Ji Xinxue put all her thoughts on Yu Heng, Ji Jingrou hesitated for a while, but finally went back to her guard of honor and fell asleep, instead of insisting on falling asleep with Ji Xinxue.
The people who fell asleep were still Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Ji Xinxue and others arrived outside Chang'an City on the 21st of the twelfth lunar month. Ji Minyan, Ji Jingyu, Ji Mingtong, and Ji Baoshan all waited specially at the Shili Changting Pavilion to pick them up and return to the city.
I haven't seen them for nearly two years, and everyone has undergone major or minor changes.
Among them, Ji Minyan is the oldest, she will be 21 years old after the new year, her appearance has hardly changed, but her demeanor has become more calm with the naked eye.
Both Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou are two years younger than Ji Minyan.
Although Ji Jingyu didn't look like Emperor Changping in appearance, his broad shoulders, long hands and long legs were just like Emperor Changping.He was originally the same height as Ji Minyan, but now he is half a head taller than Ji Minyan.
Ji Jingrou's stature has hardly changed, she is still only a little shorter than Ji Minyan.
When she hadn't left Chang'an back then, apart from the joy and excitement of leaving home, there was also almost invisible hesitation and hesitation between her brows.Now all these emotions have been hidden in her eyes, and they will no longer be easily peeped by outsiders.
Then there are Yu Heng and Ji Mingtong who are the same age.
Because she was inseparable from Yu Heng all day long, although Ji Xinxue noticed that Yu Heng's clothes became more and more empty when she wore them, she never felt that Yu Heng had changed a lot.
It wasn't until Yu Heng stood at the same place with Ji Jingyu, who had changed so much, that people couldn't tell that there was a two-year difference between them just by looking at their height and figure, that Ji Xinxue was startled by Yu Heng's growth.
Ji Mingtong, who has been taller than her peers since she was a child, has hardly grown taller, and has been overtaken by Ji Xinxue, who is half a head shorter than her.The changes in her body are all in her appearance, the shadow of Emperor Changping on the corners of her eyes and brows has gradually softened, but she is not as resembling Emperor Changping as she was when she was a child.
She is not like a queen, but she has a bit of the charm and charm of Concubine Su.
Seriously, the old saying "whoever raises like whom" should be true.
Ji Baoshan will be nine years old next year, when her body shape is changing rapidly, but the baby fat on her face has not decreased but increased, like a beautiful donut.
Because next year will be unfavorable to the ancestors, Emperor Changping has rushed to the imperial mausoleum to appease the ancestors, and will not return to Chang'an until the 25th of the twelfth lunar month.
After talking briefly, everyone rushed directly to Princess Huai'an's mansion where the plaque had already been hung.
Ji Mingtong hadn't seen Ji Xinxue for a long time, and just as he was thinking hard, he directly dragged Ji Xinxue to her carriage.
Yu Heng also did not refuse Ji Jingyu's invitation to ride in the carriage together, he regarded Ji Jingyu and Ji Cheng as brothers from the bottom of his heart, and since he hadn't seen Ji Jingyu for a long time, he would also have thoughts in his heart.
Ji Jingrou hugged Ji Minyan's arm, her voice was full of gratitude, "Fortunately, there is a elder sister, otherwise I would be a poor little nobody wants."
Ji Baoshan, who was standing on the other side of Ji Minyan, heard the words, crashed into Ji Jingrou's arms like a pony ball, tightly hugged Ji Jingrou's waist with both hands, and said sweetly, "There is also Baoshan, Baoshan also wants the third sister!"
Ji Minyan raised her hand and tapped Ji Jingrou's forehead, "Go to Mingtong or Jingyu's carriage and see if they kick you off."
"No! Even if they dislike me and don't want to ride with me, they can't push me out of the car, or I'll go to Aye to complain." Ji Jingrou smiled so proudly, she didn't believe it. Comparable to her.
As expected, Ji Minyan had nothing to say, and took the lead in turning around and walking towards the carriage.
Ji Jingrou chuckled, wanted to hug Ji Baoshan, tried several times but failed, and realized that she could no longer hold her younger sister, so she honestly took Ji Baoshan's hand and followed Ji Minyan.
Ji Xinxue picked up the cake that Ji Mingtong specially prepared for him and put it into his mouth, and asked curiously, "Why didn't Princess Huayang and Duke Heping come?"
Based on the friendship between them, if there is nothing wrong between the two of them, they will meet him and Yu Heng at the ten-mile long pavilion like last time.
The smile on the corners of Ji Mingtong's eyes froze immediately, and he leaned on Ji Xinxue's shoulder with a soft pillow in his arms, "Ji Cheng has an errand, and he went to the Imperial Tomb with Aye. Yingying...was angry with me again, I already knew I was wrong gone."
Ji Xinxue resisted the thought of rubbing Ji Mingtong's head, and asked patiently, "What's wrong?"
Since Kang Ge reappeared beside Ji Mingtong, Ji Mingtong and Princess Huayang were either quarreling or on the way to quarrel.
Fortunately, the two never got really angry, and Ji Mingtong always regarded Princess Huayang more than Kang Ge.
Ji Mingtong said in a muffled voice, "She went to trouble Kang Ge because she didn't win the quarrel with me. I, I couldn't be more angry, thinking that she was also engaged, so I went to trouble her cousin, but she and I angry."
In the end, Ji Mingtong felt that he was even more aggrieved, and his tone was already crying, "I've never been angry with Kang Ge and her."
Ji Xinxue raised her hand and patted Ji Mingtong's back regularly, trying to hold back the smile accumulated in her throat.
If he couldn't help laughing, Ji Mingtong would ignore him for at least half a day.
After a while, Ji Mingtong restrained his crying, and said again, "I know I was wrong, her cousin is different from Kang Ge. The trouble I have with her cousin is to embarrass the concubine Xiangui, grandma and little grandma will also Difficult."
After all, Ji Xinxue couldn't hold back his smile. He skillfully found a clean handkerchief from the third-story cabinet at hand to wipe Ji Mingtong's tears, and whispered his advice to Ji Mingtong, "Go and cry in front of Princess Huayang, she It will definitely soften your heart.”
Ji Mingtong held onto the hem of Ji Xinxue's clothes, his eyes, which had just been washed by tears, seemed to be spotless, full of surprises, "Really?"
Ji Xinxue nodded seriously, "Really."
"Tomorrow, no, find Yingying to go to your palace in the afternoon." Ji Mingtong looked at Ji Xinxue eagerly. She was afraid that if she went to find Princess Huayang in person, she would be turned away by the angry Princess Huayang.
Ji Xinxue nodded happily.
Before Ji Xinxue returned to the palace to invite Princess Huayang to create an opportunity for Ji Mingtong to apologize, Ji Mingtong met the long-awaited Princess Huayang at Princess Huaian's mansion.
"Yingying!" Ji Mingtong jumped out of the carriage, went straight to Princess Huayang, hugged Princess Huayang tightly, tears poured out of his already red and swollen eyes, "You broke your promise!"
They clearly made an agreement, only quarreling and not getting angry.
The people present have long been used to the virtue of Ji Mingtong and Princess Huayang quarreling every day and getting together every day.
Ji Jingrou smiled and waved to Princess Huayang, which was a greeting after a long absence.
Ji Xinxue pointed to the water mark on her shoulder and mouthed to Princess Huayang.
She, knew, said, was wrong.
After everyone left, Princess Huayang escaped from the embarrassment. The movement of her raising her hand to pat Ji Mingtong's back was not at all as gentle as Ji Xinxue's, and said angrily, "Why are you crying? They thought I was there bully you."
Ji Mingtong hiccupped and spoke intermittently, "Last time, when you were crying, you not only went to my grandmother and the virtuous concubine for comment, but also went to the prince and concubine of Qinghe County."
Embarrassment appeared on Princess Huayang's face again, and she wiped Ji Mingtong's tears with her sleeve, "It's not that you are stupid."
Seeing that Ji Mingtong was about to cry again, Princess Huayang quickly reasoned with Ji Mingtong, "It's up to the two of us to have someone beat Kange. If you let someone beat your cousin, not only my aunt will take care of this matter, the queen mother and The concubine also wants to appease uncle and aunt."
"I know I was wrong, so I won't fight next time." Ji Mingtong nodded against his red and swollen eye sockets, his cuteness made people feel distressed.
"It's fine if you know you're wrong." Princess Huayang put Ji Mingtong into her arms, patted Ji Mingtong on the back indiscriminately, and said in a low voice, "If you want to hit your cousin later, don't let the guards around you do it. You told me It is only natural for the guards to fight and the princess to fight the son-in-law, no one cares."
Ji Mingtong immediately laughed through his tears, and hugged Princess Huayang tightly, "Yingying, you are the best."
Princess Huayang snorted softly and asked, "I'm better or Ji Cheng?"
Ji Mingtong hesitated for a while, "Of course it's you."
"I am better or Princess Anwu?" Princess Huayang still refused to let Ji Mingtong go.
This time, Ji Mingtong hesitated for a longer time, and suddenly withdrew from the arms of Princess Huayang, holding Princess Huayang's hand, and went to the dining hall, "Let's go to eat quickly, don't let elder sister and elder brother specially waiting for us."
"Ji Mingtong!" Princess Huayang stomped her feet resentfully, making an extremely angry voice, but she never broke free from Ji Mingtong's hand.
The two walked into the side hall hand in hand, and sat in the empty seat on Ji Xinxue's right with lowered eyebrows.
Ji Minyan turned her head and told the female officer behind her, "Let the kitchen serve the food."
The female officer blessed herself and quietly left the side hall.
Satisfied with wine and food, Ji Xinxue used the method of "sacrificing to Ji Mingtong" to escape from Ji Baoshan who seemed to be "a hundred thousand whys". I didn't even bother to open my eyes.
Feeling the warm touch on her forehead, Ji Xinxue let out a satisfied sigh, picked up a hot towel and covered her face, taking it for granted that the person who is so caring is Yu Heng, "I will find a chance to ask Bantan Changjie's house in the future. The fruit wine on the table will go back and be treasured, the aroma of the wine is so mellow, it must be a treasure left a few years ago."
A familiar yet unfamiliar female voice responded to Ji Xinxue's words, "You don't need to look for opportunities. You and Jingrou haven't returned home for a long time. I'll give each of you a jar of fruit wine from five years ago."
Ji Xinxue paused to wipe her face, then opened her eyes suddenly.
The person standing beside him was the person he was going to beg for wine.
"Sister." Embarrassment appeared on Ji Xinxue's face, and she immediately changed from lying on the soft bed to sitting upright on the soft bed.
In front of the master, thinking about other people's things... It's really embarrassing.
A smile suddenly appeared on Ji Minyan's face, she raised her hand and reached for the messy silk scarf around Ji Xinxue's neck, "I treat you like Jingyu and Mingtong, you don't need to be polite to me because of things outside of you."
"No." Ji Xinxue shook her head and asked, "Who does Elder Sister prefer?"
According to the identities of these five people, if Ji Minyan likes more than one person at the same time, it is not impossible to admit more than one person into the house at the same time, it just depends on how Ji Minyan chooses.
"Guess?" Ji Jingrou blinked and reminded Ji Xinxue, "I once offered advice to Eldest Sister in a letter, but Eldest Sister chose someone else."
Ji Xinxue smacked her face with her hand, lost in thought.
It's a bit difficult to guess, in the past when he predicted Ji Minyan's choice in marriage, he never got it right.
After a while, Ji Xinxue said the answer with hesitation on his face, "The son of the Hou family?"
"How do you know?" Ji Jingrou grabbed Ji Xinxue's arm in surprise.
Knowing from Ji Jingrou's reaction that she guessed right, the corners of Ji Xinxue's mouth curled up in joy, "I just think he is most likely to be seen by Eldest Sister."
Frustrated emotions flashed across Ji Jingrou's face, and she muttered in a low voice, "I thought I didn't get Sister's mind right because I was two years younger than her, but I didn't expect it to be because I wasn't smart enough."
She considers herself to be the closest person to her eldest sister among her siblings in the family. There are some things that her eldest sister will not tell her elder brother or Ming Tong, but she will confide in her in a letter.
When she received the elder sister's letter, she didn't close her eyes for almost two days, carefully thinking about the pros and cons of the five people, and finally suggested that the elder sister choose the dude or Tanhua Lang from the palace as her son-in-law.If you like the son of a small official, you can pass the word to him and take him in as a roommate after the wedding.
Among the brothers and sisters, the eldest sister and the fifth child are the smartest.
Xiao Wu was able to guess the elder sister's choice in just a few breaths, it must be because she was clever enough to think of being with the elder sister.
"Eldest sister has hesitated for a long time between the youngest son of the northern general and the son of the Hou family, and she prefers the son of the Hou family. She hasn't told Aye that she has a choice in her heart, and she plans to talk about it in a few years." Ji Jingrou sighed, carefully Talk to Ji Xinxue about the origin of the son of the Hou family.
The Marquis of Runan is one of the few founding nobles of the Yu Dynasty. He was just an ordinary businessman in the previous dynasty, because when Emperor Wuning was in the most difficult time, he devoted all his family's efforts to provide Emperor Wuning with three months of military supplies, and was able to send his youngest son to him. Send it to Emperor Wuning.
This youngest son is the parachutist, the first Marquis of Runan.
After the death of Emperor Wuning, the Marquis of Runan immediately became an official.The son of the Marquis of Runan borrowed his light to become a close minister of Emperor Qianyuan in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that the son of the Marquis of Runan died under the sword of an assassin because he protected Emperor Qianyuan before he could make his way to the top.The only son of the son of the Marquis of Runan was still young, so Emperor Qianyuan made the younger sister of the son of the Marquis of Runan a noble concubine, and the mansion of the Marquis of Runan was still in the Qianyuan Dynasty for more than ten years.
However, the heirs of the Runan Hou Mansion seem to have had some bad luck.
The only son of the son of the Marquis of Runan became the grandson of the Marquis of Runan after he got married.Fortunately, he didn't become a dead soul under the knife, but he was hit hard on the waist and couldn't stand up anymore.
The Marquis of Runan couldn't bear the fact that his daughter and grandson were killed in the Lieshan Incident, and his grandson was also permanently disabled. After a few months of lingering illness, he died, and his grandson became the new Marquis of Runan.
The new Marquis of Runan learned from the painful experience and decided to let his only son abandon martial arts and follow literature.He spent a lot of money and thought to hire a famous teacher for his only son.I only hope that the only son can be named on the gold list, even if it is the last one.
In order to achieve the goal, the new Marquis of Runan has tried all possible methods.Including but not limited to spending money to send the only son to study in various prestigious colleges, distributing money to support poor students to pray for the only son... Inviting each new class of Jinshi to teach the only son alone in the Runanhou Mansion.
In the end, the new Marquis of Runan gave up this extravagant hope and asked to marry the daughter of the number one scholar for his only son, finally welcoming the Wenqu star of the Marquis of Runan's mansion.
This Wenqu star is Ji Minyan's favorite candidate for son-in-law, and he is currently the son of the Marquis of Runan.
Ji Xinxue lowered her eyes to get rid of the complexity in her eyes.
The background of the Runan Hou Mansion is far deeper than he imagined.As long as the old Marquis is still alive, the connections accumulated by the first Marquis of Runan will not be severed from the Marquis of Runan.
Over the years, the old Lord Hou has exhausted his only son's 'study', and he does not know how many contacts he has accumulated among civil servants.
Although Marquis Runan has only mastered the six senses in reading, he has a very transparent personality, and he can talk about the same things no matter he is with the noble children or scholars.
There are several generations of accumulated background, as long as Runanhou Shizi's real talents and knowledge are worthy of his reputation outside, no matter how unsophisticated he is and unable to accomplish anything in the officialdom, he can at least become a well-known celebrity.
Ji Jingrou picked up the tassels on Ji Xinxue's waist to play with, the gloom in his eyes became more and more intense.
If the elder sister really liked the son of Marquis Runan, she would not still hesitate after making up her mind, insisting on telling Aye about it after a few years.
How could she not guess why the elder sister chose Runan Hou Shizi at all, she just didn't want to think about it.
Aye insisted on keeping filial piety for the first emperor for three years. From the 21st year of Yanguang to the second year of Changping, all the concubines in the harem were drinking Bizitang.
In the third year of Changping, the concubines stopped taking medicine.In the past two years, three nobles have conceived and gave birth to emperor heirs who were promoted to concubines.
They are two princesses and a prince.
The eldest brother is no longer Aye's only prince.
"Axue..." Ji Jingrou's tone was blank, not knowing what to say to his sister.
It's not that she can't accept the existence of younger siblings, because she knows that no matter how many younger siblings there are, Aye's love and indulgence for her will never decrease.
But as long as she thought that the little brother who was just a few months old might threaten the status of the eldest brother, she couldn't help liking the little brother.
Ji Jingrou said in a voice that only she and Ji Xinxue could hear, "It would be great if Aye could make elder brother the crown prince as soon as possible."
That way, she can continue to look forward to the birth of her younger siblings.
Ji Xinxue nodded invisibly, and he also hoped from the bottom of his heart that his elder brother would become a prince soon.
Not only did Ji Jingrou and Ji Mingtong hint in the letter that he felt that there was a gap between him and his younger siblings, but he also felt that the brothers and sisters in the hidden residence and the younger siblings in the palace belonged to two generations.He will love his younger siblings who were born in the palace, but it is difficult to feel dependent.
Who to choose as the prince and when to establish the prince are important matters for the family and the country. Ji Xinxue believes that Emperor Changping will make the most suitable choice.
In recent years, people except Ji Baoshan have gone to the fief to inspect the fief, only Ji Jingyu has remained in Chang'an, and it can be seen that Emperor Changping still prefers the eldest son.
Ji Xinxue didn't want to see Ji Jingrou's depressed look, so she deliberately asked Ji Jingrou if she was interested, "Did Aye choose a relative for the eldest brother?"
If Aye intends to make his eldest brother the crown prince, it will definitely be reflected in the selection of relatives.
After all, the princess is the future queen, or the future queen who is destined not to be supported by her mother-in-law.Without the ability to convince the wives inside and outside, there will definitely be a 'disaster'.
The melancholy on Ji Jingrou's face eased slightly, and a slight smile appeared in his eyes, "Situ's granddaughter, Qianniuwei General Rong Guang's first daughter, or the first eldest granddaughter of Minister of Rites."
Before entering Chang'an, Situ had served as the shepherd of Taiyuan Prefecture for nearly ten years, and he could be called the elder of the Three Dynasties.Rong Guang's status among the generals in Chang'an was second only to Mo Yao and Deng Hongying, similar to Dingbei Hou, but neither Mo Yao nor Deng Hongying had girls of the right age in their families, and Dingbei Hou was not as good as Rong Guang who had a Situ father.
The girl from the Rong family can be regarded as the most prominent girl of the right age among the generals in Chang'an.
Since the founding of the country, the Zhang family has sent out officials from generation to generation. Although they are civil servants, their future is more stable than that of nobles.
From Emperor Wuning to Emperor Changping, the emperors of the Five Dynasties shared eight Ministers of Rites, six of whom were from the Zhang family.
In addition to the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taichang Temple, and Zongren Mansion all had ritual officials, most of whom were competent by the Zhang family or disciples of the Zhang family.
Even though the Ministry of Rites is recognized as a government office for the elderly, and the official positions related to the rituals are all official positions for the elderly, it is still not to be underestimated to reach the Zhang family's level.
The Zhang family teaches the eldest daughter the strictest, and has always been a model for a family with a hundred daughters.Civil servants want the Zhang family's network, and the nobles and generals want to have the aristocratic atmosphere of the Zhang family.
When the aunt of the girl from the Zhang family got married, Chang'an didn't know how many jokes were made.In the end, the prince's son of Qinghe County asked Emperor Yanguang for a marriage with his old father at home, and successfully embraced the beauty.
Ji Jingrou suddenly remembered that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were surrounded by people from the Ministry of Rites, and added, "Maybe it's your sister who accompanied you."
"It has already been decided, only choose from these two people?" Ji Xinxue asked, "Let brother choose by himself? What does elder sister say."
Ji Jingrou nodded, "Aye asked the elder brother to choose from these two people, and he didn't say it couldn't be someone else, but the elder brother is not the elder sister..."
Ji Xinxue understood in seconds that the eldest brother had never said 'no' to Aye, and there was no girl who insisted on marrying him.Unless he suddenly rebelled, the eldest brother would never suddenly have the idea of rebelling against Aye in marriage.
"The elder sister said that the elder brother should make up his own mind about the marriage, and she specifically reminded me in the letter that I am not allowed to give the elder brother any advice." Ji Jingrou turned to look at the smart younger sister beside her, "If you were the elder brother, who would you choose? ?”
Ji Xinxue knew what Ji Jingrou meant.
It's not asking him, if he is the elder brother, who would he choose to join hands with him for the rest of his life and share weal and woe.It was asking him, if he wanted to be the prince, who would he choose to be the princess.
He thought carefully for a while, and wrote the word "Zhang" on Ji Jingrou's palm.
The Rong family was in the Yanguang Dynasty, and they suddenly became popular in the eyes of Emperor Yanguang, and then they cooked oil in the Changping Dynasty, becoming an upstart in one fell swoop.
However, the Zhang family started from the Wuning Dynasty and has developed steadily until today.
Although in terms of power, the Zhang family is far inferior to the Rong family, but in terms of stability, the Rong family is far inferior to the Zhang family.
Whether it is out of selfish considerations or from the analysis of objective factors, Ji Xinxue feels that Emperor Changping will remain at its peak for at least two to thirty years.
Ji Jingyu has a gentle temper, does not contend with the world, and treats his father with utmost filial piety, so he will never have the desire to wait.
In just 20 years, the Rong family stood at the pinnacle of power in the Yu Dynasty, and it seems that they can go further.If self-cultivation cannot keep up with the power, it is inevitable that the foundation will be unstable, and Ji Jingyu may be dragged down by tricks at some point.
Because the Rong family rose rapidly, the low-level officials who surrounded the Rong family were, in all likelihood, eager for quick success and quick success, and could easily affect the mentality of the Rong family from the bottom up.
In contrast, the Zhang family already has the first princess of Qinghe County, who is guaranteed income from droughts and floods. Even if there is another prince and concubine who is expected to become a crown prince, he will not easily take risks.
In case...Emperor Changping finally chooses someone else, the Zhang family can also protect Ji Jingyu.
Ji Jingrou carefully felt the handwriting on the palm of his hand, and the brows that had just been stretched for a long time frowned again.The right candidate in her mind is a girl from the Rong family.
It's different from the smart sister's choice, alas.
After talking about the elder sister and elder brother's marriage, Ji Xinxue naturally thought of Ji Mingtong.
After the new year, Ji Mingtong is seventeen.I started to choose a consort earlier, and then carefully prepared the details of the big wedding. I got married between the ages of 19 and 20, and the time was just right.
"She, she won't be able to settle down for a while." Ji Jingrou lazily shook her head, and suddenly understood why Emperor Changping urged Ji Minyan to get married more and more urgently.
Ji Mingtong was also choosing a son-in-law, and most of them had already been rejected by Princess Huayang and Ji Cheng before Ji Mingtong saw him.
Ji Mingtong believed whatever these two said, and he refused to meet anyone, and directly used the reasons he heard from Princess Huayang and Ji Cheng to veto the person Emperor Changping had chosen for her.
There are three unmarried brothers and sisters in front of Ji Mingtong. Emperor Changping has limited patience with her, and seeing that Ji Mingtong is full of childishness that has not yet grown up, he knows that he is pestering Huayang, who is engaged to the natal nephew of the virtuous concubine, all day long. The eldest princess played with Ji Cheng who was already on errand, and simply ignored Ji Mingtong.
"The gentleman surnamed Kang next to Fourth Sister was sent away?"
Ji Xinxue squinted her eyes happily, hearing so many inside stories about the marriages of her brothers and sisters, it was finally something that could make people feel relaxed.
Ji Jingrou chuckled, remembering when Ji Xinxue was still in Chang'an, Ji Mingtong swayed wildly between the "lover" and Ji Xinxue, Ji Cheng, and Princess Huayang.
She ruthlessly broke Ji Xinxue's fantasy, "You, Hua Yang, and Ping Guogong haven't killed him yet, how could he be willing to leave Xiaosi? Anyway, he can't become Xiaosi's consort, so I didn't mention him. So as not to spoil your good mood."
The smile on Ji Xinxue's face froze immediately, and she looked at Ji Jingrou sadly.
As the sky was getting dark, Ji Jingrou loudly asked the Jin Wuwei outside the carriage to fetch her clothes and bedding, and wanted to sleep with Ji Xinxue.
Ji Xinxue blinked nervously, trying to persuade Ji Jingrou to give up the idea.He lowered his head on purpose, and said in a frustrated tone, "I often make unpleasant noises when I'm sleeping soundly at night, and my sister will be so disturbed that I can't sleep."
Ji Jingrou stared at Ji Xinxue with a smile that was not a smile, and snorted coldly, then suddenly got a strange look, "The king of Xianglin County can fall asleep, but I can't?"
She raised her hand, intending to pinch Ji Xinxue's face, but in the end she only tapped on the side of Ji Xinxue's ear.
Don't move your face, such a beautiful face will never leave any marks.
In the future, if she finds out who dares to touch Ji Xinxue's face, she must fight that person desperately!
Ji Xinxue's brows showed obvious guilt, and her emotional intelligence was full at the critical moment, "We all had insomnia during that time, and we slept alone until dawn, so we got together. I can't bear my sister to be unable to sleep because of my noise. Sleep."
Hearing this, Ji Jingrou lowered her raised eyebrows slightly, but she still couldn't hold back her ready-to-move hand, and lightly touched Ji Xinxue's side face, "It's okay, sister is happy to see you, even if she can't sleep!"
I can't feel the traces of makeup at all, it really is natural white!
Ah Xue is the good president, looks like Aye, and is naturally fair like Concubine Zhong Shu, picking out all the good points!
From the moment Ji Jingrou mentioned Yu Heng, Ji Xinxue could no longer refuse to sleep with Ji Jingrou.
As long as you use the excuses of 'I'm not used to sleeping with people', 'I don't want others to see the scar on my neck'...'I can't sleep when someone is around', I will definitely face 'You haven't treated your sister yet' Heng is close. ' the soul questioned.
After thinking about it, Ji Xinxue realized that only by directly confessing her gender to Ji Jingrou, could she refuse the proposal of sleeping with feet without hurting her feelings.
He put his hand on the silk scarf around his neck, with hesitation in his eyes.
"Princess, go and see the king." Lin Wei's voice came from outside the carriage, "The king suddenly got motion sickness and has already vomited twice. No matter how we persuade him, he refuses to take medicine."
Ji Xinxue immediately forgot about the danger of falling asleep, and rushed out of the carriage, "What's going on?"
He had never seen Yu Heng get motion sickness before, could it be the wind and cold?
Lin Wei immediately raised his arms to help Ji Xinxue get out of the carriage, and said repeatedly, "I, the king of the county, Yan Meng, and Zhang Siyi were playing bird cards to pass the time. The king of the county suddenly looked ugly and jumped out of the carriage in a hurry. Wang was vomiting on the side of the road. It has been at least half an hour since then."
Ji Jingrou also poked her head out of the carriage, "Did the imperial physician take a pulse? I have some good medicine."
Lin Wei hurriedly cupped his hands to Ji Jingrou, "The imperial doctor said it was just motion sickness, because the king of the county had a severe attack today because of the cold wind. As long as he took medicine, he could relieve the symptoms of headache and nausea, but the king of the county refused to take medicine and wanted to push through."
"How can this work?" Ji Jingrou also supported Lin Wei's arm and jumped out of the carriage, striding to chase after Ji Xinxue who had already run away with her skirt in her hands, "Let the imperial doctor boil the medicine directly, and cook more, if he still refuses to take the medicine , and asked someone to pour the medicine down."
Lin Wei fell into silence, the king of the county refused to take the medicine, of course he had to coax the king of the county to take the medicine, how could he do it?
Ji Jingrou didn't hear Lin Wei's answer, thinking that Lin Wei didn't hear her clearly, so he deliberately repeated what he just said.
She didn't hear Lin Wei's answer again, she looked at Lin Wei in surprise.
Lin Wei nodded heavily under Ji Jingrou's increasingly impatient gaze, and turned to look for the imperial physician.
Fortunately, when the princess of the future county treats the king of the county, she has always been very patient, not as rough as Princess Baoding... No, there is no future princess of the county anymore.
Lin Wei sighed melancholy, and unknowingly quickened her pace.
Ji Jingrou and Lin Wei delayed for some time, and spent time looking for the carriage where Yu Heng was, just in time to see Ji Xinxue striding into the carriage with her skirt in hand.
She paused in her steps, with hesitation in her eyes.
I haven't seen her for nearly two years, and the changes that have happened to Ah Xue seem to be a bit big.Not only has his stature become taller, but his skills are also much sharper than before.
Could it be that Ah Xue finally got rid of her liking for sleeping in and getting up early every day to practice martial arts?
It's strange why she hasn't heard of it at all.
Panting and walking to the front of the carriage, Ji Jingrou saw the low stool in the shadow, and the doubts in her heart dissipated instantly.
It turned out that it was because of the low stool that Ah Xue 'jumped' into the carriage so lightly.
Ji Xinxue pushed open the curtain and strode into the carriage.He couldn't tolerate other people at all, only Yu Heng who was lying in the innermost place, "What's going on? Are you uncomfortable?"
Li Jinhuan, who was sitting at the door with his sword in his arms, handed the stove by his side to Ji Xinxue, and said in a low voice, "It's all right, I'll be fine when I get to Chang'an."
Ji Xinxue picked up the hand stove and rolled it over her body in a hurry, not caring whether the charcoal powder rolled out of the hand stove would damage the delicate clothes, and strode towards Yu Heng who had been silent all along.
They still have at least three days to go to Chang'an, and they can only recover after arriving in Chang'an. How can they be fine.
Approaching Yu Heng, Ji Xinxue's eyes caught off guard and broke into the smiling phoenix eyes, and the heart in her throat dropped suddenly.
He raised his hand and touched Yu Heng's forehead, "How is it, where is it uncomfortable?"
The cold and dry touch on his hands made Ji Xinxue startled that he ran too fast just now, and his palms were full of sweat, so he quickly took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the sweat stained on Yu Heng's forehead.
Yu Heng let out an invisible laugh, and said in a low voice, "I'm really fine. If..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt Ji Xinxue's face approaching him quickly.
The moment their foreheads touched, Yu Heng not only felt the presence of the other party through the blink of an eye, but could even feel the warm breath that did not belong to him.
He subconsciously looked down.
It's pink lipstick.
No, he watched with his own eyes that Ah Xue applied the transparent paste on her lips with the pulp of her little finger. This was Ah Xue's original lip color.
Yu Heng's powerless arm by his side suddenly tightened, his fingers were ready to bend, and a voice that almost drowned out reason suddenly sounded in his heart.
'Keep him, don't let him go. '
The moment he raised his hand, cold air rushed over his face, and it was Ji Jingrou's voice randomly, "How is Xianglin County King?"
Yu Heng put down his hand quietly, watching Ji Xinxue get further and further away from him.
I don't know when Ah Xue will make lip balm next time, and whether he will ask him if he wants it as usual.
Ji Xinxue said to Ji Jingju who was parked at the door of the carriage, "I don't have a fever, I'll ask the imperial doctor if I can eat."
"It's fine if you don't have a fever." Ji Jingrou nodded, "I have already ordered the people just now to let the imperial physician boil the medicine."
After finishing speaking, Ji Jingrou looked at the person beside him, "Is there any pastry that can fill your stomach?"
What's wrong with this man?
Knowing that King Xianglin was unwell, he actually held his sword and faced the corner of the car, not paying attention to the situation of King Xianglin at all times.
She knew that Axue had sensed whether King Xianglin had a fever by pressing his forehead against his forehead just now. The picture looked so imaginative, but King Xianglin was ill!
Li Jinhuan still kept his posture facing the 'corner', "Someone has already gone to get pastries."
It was not until it was confirmed that Yu Heng had no fever that Ji Xinxue was in the mood to ask why Yu Heng fell ill suddenly.
Li Jinhuan repeated what Lin Wei said to Ji Jingrou, "Get a good rest tonight, and the symptoms of motion sickness will be relieved, otherwise the symptoms will be worse tomorrow."
Yu Heng shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine, I'll recover within three days at most."
Ji Xinxue patted Yu Heng's arm angrily.
"You don't understand medical principles, how do you know...it's okay." Ji Xinxue's mind suddenly flashed. When he just rushed into the carriage, Li Jinhuan also told him that Yu Heng would recover in three days.
Three days, they still have three days to go back to Chang'an.
If he hid in Yu Heng's carriage for three days on the grounds of taking care of Yu Heng, he would be able to avoid falling asleep with Ji Jingrou.
Under Ji Xinxue's persuasion, Yu Heng happily ate the cake, but still firmly refused the indescribable tranquilizer.
Seeing that Ji Xinxue put all her thoughts on Yu Heng, Ji Jingrou hesitated for a while, but finally went back to her guard of honor and fell asleep, instead of insisting on falling asleep with Ji Xinxue.
The people who fell asleep were still Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Ji Xinxue and others arrived outside Chang'an City on the 21st of the twelfth lunar month. Ji Minyan, Ji Jingyu, Ji Mingtong, and Ji Baoshan all waited specially at the Shili Changting Pavilion to pick them up and return to the city.
I haven't seen them for nearly two years, and everyone has undergone major or minor changes.
Among them, Ji Minyan is the oldest, she will be 21 years old after the new year, her appearance has hardly changed, but her demeanor has become more calm with the naked eye.
Both Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou are two years younger than Ji Minyan.
Although Ji Jingyu didn't look like Emperor Changping in appearance, his broad shoulders, long hands and long legs were just like Emperor Changping.He was originally the same height as Ji Minyan, but now he is half a head taller than Ji Minyan.
Ji Jingrou's stature has hardly changed, she is still only a little shorter than Ji Minyan.
When she hadn't left Chang'an back then, apart from the joy and excitement of leaving home, there was also almost invisible hesitation and hesitation between her brows.Now all these emotions have been hidden in her eyes, and they will no longer be easily peeped by outsiders.
Then there are Yu Heng and Ji Mingtong who are the same age.
Because she was inseparable from Yu Heng all day long, although Ji Xinxue noticed that Yu Heng's clothes became more and more empty when she wore them, she never felt that Yu Heng had changed a lot.
It wasn't until Yu Heng stood at the same place with Ji Jingyu, who had changed so much, that people couldn't tell that there was a two-year difference between them just by looking at their height and figure, that Ji Xinxue was startled by Yu Heng's growth.
Ji Mingtong, who has been taller than her peers since she was a child, has hardly grown taller, and has been overtaken by Ji Xinxue, who is half a head shorter than her.The changes in her body are all in her appearance, the shadow of Emperor Changping on the corners of her eyes and brows has gradually softened, but she is not as resembling Emperor Changping as she was when she was a child.
She is not like a queen, but she has a bit of the charm and charm of Concubine Su.
Seriously, the old saying "whoever raises like whom" should be true.
Ji Baoshan will be nine years old next year, when her body shape is changing rapidly, but the baby fat on her face has not decreased but increased, like a beautiful donut.
Because next year will be unfavorable to the ancestors, Emperor Changping has rushed to the imperial mausoleum to appease the ancestors, and will not return to Chang'an until the 25th of the twelfth lunar month.
After talking briefly, everyone rushed directly to Princess Huai'an's mansion where the plaque had already been hung.
Ji Mingtong hadn't seen Ji Xinxue for a long time, and just as he was thinking hard, he directly dragged Ji Xinxue to her carriage.
Yu Heng also did not refuse Ji Jingyu's invitation to ride in the carriage together, he regarded Ji Jingyu and Ji Cheng as brothers from the bottom of his heart, and since he hadn't seen Ji Jingyu for a long time, he would also have thoughts in his heart.
Ji Jingrou hugged Ji Minyan's arm, her voice was full of gratitude, "Fortunately, there is a elder sister, otherwise I would be a poor little nobody wants."
Ji Baoshan, who was standing on the other side of Ji Minyan, heard the words, crashed into Ji Jingrou's arms like a pony ball, tightly hugged Ji Jingrou's waist with both hands, and said sweetly, "There is also Baoshan, Baoshan also wants the third sister!"
Ji Minyan raised her hand and tapped Ji Jingrou's forehead, "Go to Mingtong or Jingyu's carriage and see if they kick you off."
"No! Even if they dislike me and don't want to ride with me, they can't push me out of the car, or I'll go to Aye to complain." Ji Jingrou smiled so proudly, she didn't believe it. Comparable to her.
As expected, Ji Minyan had nothing to say, and took the lead in turning around and walking towards the carriage.
Ji Jingrou chuckled, wanted to hug Ji Baoshan, tried several times but failed, and realized that she could no longer hold her younger sister, so she honestly took Ji Baoshan's hand and followed Ji Minyan.
Ji Xinxue picked up the cake that Ji Mingtong specially prepared for him and put it into his mouth, and asked curiously, "Why didn't Princess Huayang and Duke Heping come?"
Based on the friendship between them, if there is nothing wrong between the two of them, they will meet him and Yu Heng at the ten-mile long pavilion like last time.
The smile on the corners of Ji Mingtong's eyes froze immediately, and he leaned on Ji Xinxue's shoulder with a soft pillow in his arms, "Ji Cheng has an errand, and he went to the Imperial Tomb with Aye. Yingying...was angry with me again, I already knew I was wrong gone."
Ji Xinxue resisted the thought of rubbing Ji Mingtong's head, and asked patiently, "What's wrong?"
Since Kang Ge reappeared beside Ji Mingtong, Ji Mingtong and Princess Huayang were either quarreling or on the way to quarrel.
Fortunately, the two never got really angry, and Ji Mingtong always regarded Princess Huayang more than Kang Ge.
Ji Mingtong said in a muffled voice, "She went to trouble Kang Ge because she didn't win the quarrel with me. I, I couldn't be more angry, thinking that she was also engaged, so I went to trouble her cousin, but she and I angry."
In the end, Ji Mingtong felt that he was even more aggrieved, and his tone was already crying, "I've never been angry with Kang Ge and her."
Ji Xinxue raised her hand and patted Ji Mingtong's back regularly, trying to hold back the smile accumulated in her throat.
If he couldn't help laughing, Ji Mingtong would ignore him for at least half a day.
After a while, Ji Mingtong restrained his crying, and said again, "I know I was wrong, her cousin is different from Kang Ge. The trouble I have with her cousin is to embarrass the concubine Xiangui, grandma and little grandma will also Difficult."
After all, Ji Xinxue couldn't hold back his smile. He skillfully found a clean handkerchief from the third-story cabinet at hand to wipe Ji Mingtong's tears, and whispered his advice to Ji Mingtong, "Go and cry in front of Princess Huayang, she It will definitely soften your heart.”
Ji Mingtong held onto the hem of Ji Xinxue's clothes, his eyes, which had just been washed by tears, seemed to be spotless, full of surprises, "Really?"
Ji Xinxue nodded seriously, "Really."
"Tomorrow, no, find Yingying to go to your palace in the afternoon." Ji Mingtong looked at Ji Xinxue eagerly. She was afraid that if she went to find Princess Huayang in person, she would be turned away by the angry Princess Huayang.
Ji Xinxue nodded happily.
Before Ji Xinxue returned to the palace to invite Princess Huayang to create an opportunity for Ji Mingtong to apologize, Ji Mingtong met the long-awaited Princess Huayang at Princess Huaian's mansion.
"Yingying!" Ji Mingtong jumped out of the carriage, went straight to Princess Huayang, hugged Princess Huayang tightly, tears poured out of his already red and swollen eyes, "You broke your promise!"
They clearly made an agreement, only quarreling and not getting angry.
The people present have long been used to the virtue of Ji Mingtong and Princess Huayang quarreling every day and getting together every day.
Ji Jingrou smiled and waved to Princess Huayang, which was a greeting after a long absence.
Ji Xinxue pointed to the water mark on her shoulder and mouthed to Princess Huayang.
She, knew, said, was wrong.
After everyone left, Princess Huayang escaped from the embarrassment. The movement of her raising her hand to pat Ji Mingtong's back was not at all as gentle as Ji Xinxue's, and said angrily, "Why are you crying? They thought I was there bully you."
Ji Mingtong hiccupped and spoke intermittently, "Last time, when you were crying, you not only went to my grandmother and the virtuous concubine for comment, but also went to the prince and concubine of Qinghe County."
Embarrassment appeared on Princess Huayang's face again, and she wiped Ji Mingtong's tears with her sleeve, "It's not that you are stupid."
Seeing that Ji Mingtong was about to cry again, Princess Huayang quickly reasoned with Ji Mingtong, "It's up to the two of us to have someone beat Kange. If you let someone beat your cousin, not only my aunt will take care of this matter, the queen mother and The concubine also wants to appease uncle and aunt."
"I know I was wrong, so I won't fight next time." Ji Mingtong nodded against his red and swollen eye sockets, his cuteness made people feel distressed.
"It's fine if you know you're wrong." Princess Huayang put Ji Mingtong into her arms, patted Ji Mingtong on the back indiscriminately, and said in a low voice, "If you want to hit your cousin later, don't let the guards around you do it. You told me It is only natural for the guards to fight and the princess to fight the son-in-law, no one cares."
Ji Mingtong immediately laughed through his tears, and hugged Princess Huayang tightly, "Yingying, you are the best."
Princess Huayang snorted softly and asked, "I'm better or Ji Cheng?"
Ji Mingtong hesitated for a while, "Of course it's you."
"I am better or Princess Anwu?" Princess Huayang still refused to let Ji Mingtong go.
This time, Ji Mingtong hesitated for a longer time, and suddenly withdrew from the arms of Princess Huayang, holding Princess Huayang's hand, and went to the dining hall, "Let's go to eat quickly, don't let elder sister and elder brother specially waiting for us."
"Ji Mingtong!" Princess Huayang stomped her feet resentfully, making an extremely angry voice, but she never broke free from Ji Mingtong's hand.
The two walked into the side hall hand in hand, and sat in the empty seat on Ji Xinxue's right with lowered eyebrows.
Ji Minyan turned her head and told the female officer behind her, "Let the kitchen serve the food."
The female officer blessed herself and quietly left the side hall.
Satisfied with wine and food, Ji Xinxue used the method of "sacrificing to Ji Mingtong" to escape from Ji Baoshan who seemed to be "a hundred thousand whys". I didn't even bother to open my eyes.
Feeling the warm touch on her forehead, Ji Xinxue let out a satisfied sigh, picked up a hot towel and covered her face, taking it for granted that the person who is so caring is Yu Heng, "I will find a chance to ask Bantan Changjie's house in the future. The fruit wine on the table will go back and be treasured, the aroma of the wine is so mellow, it must be a treasure left a few years ago."
A familiar yet unfamiliar female voice responded to Ji Xinxue's words, "You don't need to look for opportunities. You and Jingrou haven't returned home for a long time. I'll give each of you a jar of fruit wine from five years ago."
Ji Xinxue paused to wipe her face, then opened her eyes suddenly.
The person standing beside him was the person he was going to beg for wine.
"Sister." Embarrassment appeared on Ji Xinxue's face, and she immediately changed from lying on the soft bed to sitting upright on the soft bed.
In front of the master, thinking about other people's things... It's really embarrassing.
A smile suddenly appeared on Ji Minyan's face, she raised her hand and reached for the messy silk scarf around Ji Xinxue's neck, "I treat you like Jingyu and Mingtong, you don't need to be polite to me because of things outside of you."
