I was a princess in ancient times

"Sister?" Ji Xinxue leaned back, avoiding Ji Minyan's hand.

Ji Minyan put down her hands that were still in mid-air with a normal expression, took out a wonton-sized oil paper bag from her waist purse and handed it to Ji Xinxue, and sat down beside Ji Xinxue, "The sobering medicine, the imperial doctor put a lot of honey in it , very sweet."

"Yeah." Ji Xinxue nodded obediently, peeled the black pill from the oil paper, and carefully bit it into her mouth.

The entrance is sweet, and there is a touch of herbal aroma.

This is the freshest pill that Ji Xinxue has ever tasted, bar none!

Ji Minyan had a panoramic view of Ji Xinxue's expression changes.

At the beginning, although Ji Xinxue took the pill happily, her eyes were full of hesitation.Bite down, leaving only a few invisible pits on the surface of the knuckle-sized pill.

After tasting the taste, the phoenix eyes, which were narrowed because of vigilance, suddenly widened, and then bent into a pleasant arc.When I sip it again, the pill immediately disappears in place.

For example, the goshawk she brought back from Gyeongju looks indifferent and fierce on the surface, unwilling to be loved by relatives, but in fact it is a little fool who can be tricked away with a rabbit.

"Tomorrow, I will ask the imperial physician to prepare some hangover medicine for you." Ji Minyan also gave Ji Xinxue the last hangover medicine left in her purse, and reminded, "Don't drink too much every day, Aye will be unhappy."

"Sister, don't worry." A sly smile appeared on the corner of Ji Xinxue's mouth, "I never drink in the palace, Aye can't catch me."

Since the 21st year of Yanguang, Yu Heng brought Tan Jiangnan fruit wine into the palace to look for him.Unfortunately, they were caught by Emperor Changping after they got drunk and were punished brutally.Whenever Ji Xinxue wanted to drink again, she would go to Princess An's Mansion.

Emperor Changping would not personally go to Princess An's mansion to arrest him.

Even if there was something really urgent, he would be able to sober up in time on the way back to the palace.

Ji Minyan could tell that Ji Xinxue was a little... afraid of her.

Except for the three who are immature, all the brothers and sisters in the family will be more or less short of breath in front of her, even Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou are no exception.

When she was still young, Ji Minyan also shed tears quietly because of the fear of her younger siblings.

Ever since Ji Jingrou started to socialize outside, Ji Mingtong has gradually grown up. When the two quarreled with their cousins, they always talked about "my elder sister", and Ji Minyan felt relieved.

As the eldest sister, if she doesn't have dignity, how can she help Aye discipline his younger siblings?

Ji Minyan hoped that while Ji Xinxue was afraid of her, she would also feel that she could be relied on.

Thinking of the queen who is still in confinement and Concubine Zhong Shu who is almost impossible to return to the palace, Ji Minyan looked at Ji Xinxue with softer eyes, patiently and unfamiliarly asked about Ji Xinxue's daily life when he was in the fiefdom.

Finally, it is inevitable to mention that Ji Xinxue was bitten by a poisonous insect last year, which left a scar on her neck.

Ji Xinxue hesitated a little, and told Ji Minyan that he had lied countless times, "When Yu Heng and I went hunting in the mountains, we saw a young deer that hadn't grown up, and wanted to catch it back to the Zhuangzi to raise it. I chased too deeply. When my neck became red and swollen, I realized that I was bitten by a poisonous insect at some point."

"Did you bring insect repellent powder with you?" Ji Minyan frowned slightly.

She remembered that Ji Xinxue needed three female officers.

One of them was Concubine Zhong Shu's dowry maid, who could almost be called watching Ji Xinxue grow up.The other two people came to Ji Xinxue's side when Ji Xinxue went to the Imperial Academy for school.

Ji Xinxue paused before answering, "I brought a purse and lost it while chasing prey."

Ji Minyan shook her head, and reminded Ji Xinxue, "Aye will grant a mansion to people other than Baoshan after the year. When you go out of the palace to open the mansion, only three female officials around you are definitely not enough. If you don't have suitable people around you If I can be promoted, I will go to my grandmother to ask for it. She is the best at training people, and the servants in the palace are all well-rounded. If I remember correctly, the two female officials you usually use by your side are from the grandmother's palace."

It's a pity that those two people have been serving Xiao Wu for too long. They claim to be with Xiao Wu affectionately, and there is no one around them who can threaten their status. They are far less meticulous than before.

Otherwise, how could he only prepare an insect repellent purse when he knew in advance that Xiao Wu was going to go hunting in the mountains?

At least on Xiao Wu's exposed skin, apply insect repellent powder.

Ji Xinxue completely missed the point of Ji Minyan's words, and only remembered 'leaving the palace to open the house'.

"Aye has delineated which places, can I choose by myself?" Ji Xinxue made no secret of her expectation for Kaifu.

As early as the last time when she returned to Chang'an, Ji Xinxue had quietly selected the location to open the mansion.

The next door to Princess Anguo's mansion was originally the mansion of Duke Qi, the confidant of Emperor Wuning.

After the death of Emperor Qianyuan, Qi Guogong was involved in the battle for the throne between Emperor Jianxing and King Yuan. Unfortunately, his property was confiscated and his family was exiled.

At this point, the house next to Princess An's Mansion was vacant.

It just happened to be used as a princess mansion for him!

Ji Minyan shook her head, "I haven't chosen yet, I'm going to let you choose yourself."

When Ji Xinxue heard this, the smile on his face became even wider, and he regarded the former Duke of Qi's mansion as something in his pocket.

Seeing that Ji Xinxue looked relaxed and no longer as nervous as when she first came here, Ji Minyan mentioned something that might make Ji Xinxue unhappy, "I found a few painters for you, who are best at painting on the face, neck, and wrists. Painting. It can not only cover up scars, but also modify makeup, and it will be delivered to your palace tomorrow."

The smile on the corner of Ji Xinxue's mouth paused for a moment, guilt welling up in her heart again.

This was the third time he felt guilty during the brief communication with Ji Minyan.

The first time was when Ji Minyan reached out to the scarf around his neck and subconsciously avoided it.

The second time was when Ji Minyan asked him about the scar on his neck and lied to Ji Minyan.

Hearing that Ji Minyan went to find a makeup artist who was good at facial makeup because of the scar on his neck that didn't exist, Ji Xinxue felt guilty again.

He suddenly felt a little regretful, and when he saw Ji Minyan reaching for the scarf around his neck, he avoided it.

When Ji Minyan sees him in the prince's uniform on the first day, will she think of what happened today and feel that he is deliberately deceiving her?

"En." Ji Xinxue suppressed all the thoughts that were churning in her heart, and lowered her head deeply, "Thank you, sister."

From an angle that Ji Xinxue couldn't see, Ji Minyan's eyes quickly flashed an inquiring emotion, and she said tentatively, "Let sister see the wound on your neck? I'll find something more convenient for you later, which can be directly attached to the neck." decoration."

Ji Xinxue kept her head down and didn't make a sound for a long time.

After a while, the two spoke at the same time.

"I have some good scar-removing medicine here, you can try them all." Ji Minyan saw Ji Xinxue's resistance, and did not plan to force Ji Xinxue on this matter.

"Yes." Ji Xinxue's voice was barely visible, but she nodded with great force.

Ji Xinxue finally raised his head to look at Ji Minyan. He gave up hiding his emotions and let the tension pour out from his eyes, "Sister, don't be afraid..."

Ji Minyan was not in a hurry to look at the scar on Ji Xinxue's neck, she patted Ji Xinxue's hand hidden under the wide sleeve, "When I was in Guanneidao, I personally went to visit the disabled old generals in northern Xinjiang .Some of them have no eyes, some only have arms or legs. I am not even afraid of those people, how can I be afraid of you?"

Ji Xinxue wanted to respond to Ji Minyan's consolation with a smile, but after trying hard for a long time, she felt that her face was frozen as if frozen, and she turned her head to look away expressionlessly.

The person who will be afraid is not Ji Minyan, but him.

Ji Minyan saw that there was no resistance on Ji Xinxue's eyebrows, so she raised her hand again and reached for the messy silk scarf around Ji Xinxue's neck.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the slender fingers painted with vermilion Kodan gradually approaching, and Ji Xinxue held her breath nervously.He felt like a prisoner tied to the execution platform, and he had already heard the voice of the executioner shouting, "It's three quarters past noon."

How would the eldest sister react when she saw the Adam's apple in his neck?

Will he immediately tell his brothers and sisters who are separated from them by the screen?

Ji Xinxue could only get some comfort when he thought of Yu Heng who was also only separated from him by a screen.

He is not alone.

If his siblings couldn't accept his true gender, he beat and cursed them.

Yu Heng will 'collect the body' for him.

"Feng Lang?" Ji Jingyu found that Yu Heng was distracted, followed Yu Heng's gaze to look at the screen embroidered with a hundred birds facing the phoenix, and his eyes flashed.Although it was doubtful, he said in a positive tone, "Xiao Wu is hiding there."

Yu Heng came back to his senses abruptly, realizing that he only knew that Ji Jingyu had said a lot to him, but he didn't remember anything, and shyness appeared on his face, "Yes, Princess Huai'an is also here."

Ji Jingyu shook her head with a smile, "Since sister is here, what are you worried about?"

Yu Heng was silent for a while before nodding, "Brother is right."

He was worried that Ji Xinxue would fall asleep behind the screen and Princess Huai'an would find her Adam's apple in her neck.

Forget it, now there are only ten days left before the first day, and if you deliberately conceal it, it will inevitably hurt Princess Huai'an's heart, and it will run counter to Ah Xue's idea of ​​not wanting to create a estrangement with his brothers and sisters.

Ji Minyan's warm fingers touched Ji Xinxue's mandible, but she didn't follow the trend to lift the silk scarf.She carefully caressed the messy folds of the silk scarf so that it fit perfectly around Ji Xinxue's neck, leaned into Ji Xinxue's ear and said, "Sister gave you two jars of Jiangnan fruit wine from five years ago, don't tell anyone about it."

"Sister?" Ji Xinxue turned her head abruptly, and the round phoenix eyes that had long since left were reappearing traces of her childhood.

Ji Minyan, who had already reached the screen, turned to Ji Xinxue and said, "I'll have someone deliver the scar-removing ointment to your palace tomorrow, and send someone to tell me which ointment you think works best, and I will offer it to you." Fang's people will also send it to you."

Because Ji Minyan was behind the light, Ji Xinxue couldn't see the expression on Ji Minyan's face clearly, so she nodded to show that she heard Ji Minyan's words.

After a long time, Ji Xinxue fell on the bed again, and raised her hand to touch the silk scarf around her neck.

All his attention was on his neck just now, and it is certain that the silk scarf never left his neck from beginning to end, and Ji Minyan's fingers did not touch his neck either.

Ji Xinxue recalled that in the past two years, he showed concern about the scar on his neck.

Everyone must wear a silk scarf.

In Shangzhou, almost everyone did not know that Princess Anwu had a wound on her neck and was always wearing silk scarves of various colors. Even the female family members in Shangzhou began to admire silk scarves.

Wherever the trend of silk scarves spreads, the people there will know how much Princess Anwu cares about the scar on her neck.

Many times, because the fief's wife mentioned the scar on his neck, he suddenly turned his face.

He didn't want those people to know his true gender in advance, nor did he want to accept the scar-removing medicine that they worked so hard to find.Scaring them with a temper tantrum is the most time-saving way.

……

Well, no matter how you analyze it, his image of a stinky princess who can't accept imperfection has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The complex emotions in Ji Xinxue's eyes turned into guilt in the end.

It's he who thinks too much.

The elder sister didn't doubt his gender, but only cared about the scar that the younger sister cared about very much.

Because he was too nervous, the eldest sister still couldn't bear to lift the silk scarf.

When the key of the palace gate was about to be released, all the people left Princess Huai'an's mansion, went into the palace to greet Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su, and had dinner lively.

Ji Minyan, Ji Jingrou and Yu Heng didn't care about the time when the key was released from the palace gate.

Although Ji Minyan and Ji Jingrou have opened a mansion outside the palace, their residence in the palace still belongs to them, and they can return to the palace for a short stay at any time.

Yu Heng habitually wanted to leave with Ji Xinxue, but Ji Jingyu grabbed his arm.

"What are you doing with Xiao Wu?" Ji Jingyu shook his head, and said to Yu Heng, "Come on, I have asked someone to clean up your room in advance."

"No need!" Ji Xinxue grabbed Yu Heng's other arm and said without thinking, "He slept with me."

The cold wind came head-on, blowing away the smell of alcohol from Ji Xinxue's forehead. He opened his sleepy eyes and glanced at the glazed tiles on the distant palace, suddenly feeling something was wrong.

He was having dinner with Empress Dowager Su, Concubine Su and his brothers and sisters just now.

……

This is not a fiefdom, but the Chang'an Palace!

Ji Xinxue suddenly lost her alcohol, and turned her head stiffly to look at the people around her.

The sky was too dark, and he couldn't fully see Ji Jingyu's facial features. Just looking at his figure and the prince's regular clothes, he looked very much like Emperor Changping when he was still in the residence.

Ji Xinxue immediately threw off Yu Heng's arm, turned around and ran away, "I'm leaving first, and you guys should also rest earlier!"

Ji Jingyu stared at Yu Heng inquiringly, and it was rare for someone who had always been short-tempered to turn pale, "You and Xiao Wu..."

Concubine Su has never concealed her preference for Ji Mingtong and Ji Xinxue. She knows that Ji Xinxue likes to drink fruit wine, so she personally sits next to Ji Xinxue with the jug and refills Ji Xinxue frequently.

Sitting on the other side of Ji Xinxue, Yu Heng also drank a lot of wine under Concubine Su's loving gaze.

Fortunately, his drinking capacity was deeper than Ji Xinxue's, and he was hardly drunk.

At this time, Ji Jingyu stared at him as if he was staring at a hungry wolf, but Yu Heng suddenly became drunk, and said in a strange way, "We have been sleeping together since the second year of Changping."

Ji Jingyu's face changed drastically when he heard the words, and the anger flowed all the way up in his heart, and he said in a low voice, "In the second year of Changping, she is only 12 years old!"

The expression on Yu Heng's face was more cheerful, "I'm 13 years old."

No one who really loves his sister can calmly accept such a provocation, even if his temper is as mild as Ji Jingyu's.It was the first time he had the thought of hitting someone, and when he returned to his senses, his right fist had already swung on Yu Heng's face.

Yu Heng fell to the ground following the light force on his face, the pain in his heart was far greater than the pain on his face.

He has picture albums and story books that can fill the entire room, and of course he knows that the "sleep" in Ji Jingyu's words has a different meaning from the "sleep" he and Ji Xinxue used.

so what?

He didn't want to explain.

'A Xue's elder brother found out that he and A Xue had tasted the forbidden fruit before marriage, and beat him up. '

The pain on his face hasn't gone away yet, Yu Heng has already started to envy 'him'.

He saw Ji Jingyu help him up with a face full of guilt, firmly grasped Ji Jingyu's arm, stared into Ji Jingyu's eyes and said, "Axue found out that I couldn't sleep all night, that's why I softened my heart. "

Ji Jingyu's face that had just eased up became tense again.

The corner of Yu Heng's mouth curled up triumphantly, "Axue doesn't know that I pretended not to be able to sleep on purpose."

"Stop talking!" Ji Jingyu grabbed Yu Heng's arm with his backhand, "You're drunk."

Yu Heng turned a blind eye to Ji Jingyu's anger, and the pride on his face increased instead of diminishing, "I have to take at least seven or eight refreshment pills every night, so that every time Axue wakes up in the middle of the night and sees the standing Me at the window."

How did Ji Jingyu know that what Yu Heng said happened when Yu Heng just knew that Chu Mo's death had something else going on.

At that time, Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue were going to Shishou Mountain in Jingzhou to 'supervise the battle'.

Because the temporary camp was too simple, they lived in the most comfortable and spacious carriages day and night.

Because Ji Xinxue had been poisoned by Feisi grass and Beetia worm, it was very easy to wake up at night, ranging from five or six times to as many as a dozen times was considered normal.

In the early days, Yu Heng did have trouble sleeping because of Chu Mo's death.Later, he deliberately took the pills for awakening the mind, because he wanted to observe the reason why Ji Xinxue was awakened, so that the imperial physician could prescribe medicine for Ji Xinxue.

After hearing Yu Heng's words, Ji Jingyu took it for granted.

Yu Heng secretly ate the refreshing medicine as a pastry, deliberately stood outside Ji Xinxue's window, and made noises from time to time so that Ji Xinxue found that he couldn't sleep all night, just to be with Ji Xinxue...

Even knowing that Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue had a marriage contract long ago.The two are childhood sweethearts and love each other, and sooner or later they will become a loving couple, and Ji Jingyu can't stand the prospective brother-in-law trying to coax his 12-year-old sister at that time.

He couldn't bear it anymore and threw a second punch at Yu Heng's face.

The servant in the distance ran towards the two in panic as early as Ji Jingyu's first punch.

The palace people stopped where they were because they saw Ji Jingyu taking the initiative to help Yu Heng who had fallen to the ground.

They didn't dare to speculate on what happened, so that the King Ling, who had never done anything before, threw his fist at the King Xianglin who had always been loved.I was afraid that if I approached the two rashly, I would hear something I shouldn't have heard, so I quietly retreated back to the original place.

Seeing King Ling punching Xianglin County King again, the palace people didn't dare to delay any more, rushed to the two of them, and urged Ling King to calm down, wanting to take over Xianglin County King from Lingwang's hands.

"Get out!" Ji Jingyu scolded the palace servants who came to surround him, and tightened the hand holding Yu Heng's collar, "Yu Heng, do you know what's wrong?"

Yu Heng was immersed in his imagination and did not want to wake up, so he nodded obediently, "Brother, I know I was wrong."

He cherishes A Xue so much, why is he willing to taste the forbidden fruit with A Xue before marriage, and give others the opportunity to talk about A Xue behind his back.

Ji Jingyu's expression softened slightly, and the anger receded from his heart. Looking at Yu Heng's swollen left cheek and the cracked right corner of his mouth, an uncontrollable guilt rose in his heart.

Seeing that the king of Xianglin County had already admitted his mistake, the palace servants also softened the ugly face of King Ling, and hurried back to King Ling, and said cautiously, "I will carry the king of Xianglin County on my back..."

where to go?

The key to the palace gate has been locked, and the King of Xianglin County must not be able to leave the palace.

King Ling beat Xianglin County King like this, can he let Xianglin County King live in his palace?

Ji Jingyu signaled the palace servants to help Yu Heng on his back, and walked steadily to his bedroom.

"You and Axue are young, and the days to come are still long, so we need to think more about the future." Ji Jingyu advised earnestly.

"En." Yu Heng replied in a muffled voice.

Ji Jingyu's footsteps paused, and he felt a cool touch between his neck.

When the shadow of the palace could be vaguely seen, Ji Jingyu said in a voice that only he and Yu Heng could hear, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you."

Yu Heng, who seemed to be asleep, raised his hand to cover Ji Jingyu's mouth, "I should hit you."

Don't talk, he wants to keep the story in his dream longer.

Apart from Ji Jingyu's tossing and turning, Ji Minyan also had trouble falling asleep that night.

Ji Jingyu felt guilty for what he did to Yu Heng, but Ji Minyan stayed up all night watching the news of Changan's noble daughter.

According to the old practice, after the prince gets married, he will accept a child within six months.

The female officer cut out the already dim candles, and cautiously persuaded, "Princess go to bed early, and you can leave things that don't matter until tomorrow."

Ji Minyan said 'hmm', with a bitter arc on the corner of her mouth.

Of course she knew that the choice of Prince and Ruren was not an important matter.

Ji Jingyu didn't even choose a princess, and the process of getting married would take at least a year.By the time it's time to recruit children, maybe the right-age noble girls have already changed groups.

However, as long as she thinks that her marriage was delayed from the first year of Changping to the fifth year of Changping, and it will be delayed until the sixth year of Changping, she can't help but worry about Ji Jingyu.

The female officer quietly exited the room, and Ji Minyan continued to stare blankly at the piled documents.

In fact, looking at your daughter's information is just an excuse to pass the time, and she is just a child. As long as the person appointed by the princess of Jingyu is not outrageous, she can directly decide.

She can't sleep.

If you close your eyes, it's either someone from the Runan Marquis Mansion, or the new concubine concubine in the palace.

bother.

"Princess, are you asleep?" A soft female voice suddenly came from outside the door.

The female officer in a brocade blue robe walked to Ji Minyan's side slowly, started to tidy up the documents spread out from the corner of the table, and said in a soft voice, "Princess Baoding just came back today, so she didn't make a fuss about meeting the princess. Mian, it can be seen that he has grown up."

Ji Minyan put her hand on her forehead and sneered, "Don't worry, she was caught by Baoshan today, and you can see her tomorrow."

Seeing that mentioning Princess Baoding did not make Ji Minyan happy, Wu Tong calmly changed the subject, taking advantage of the opportunity to talk about Ji Baoshan's recent anecdotes.

Ji Minyan couldn't bring up any jokes, she bent her knuckles and tapped on the table, "Who woke you up and asked her to sweep the yard and not enter the house again."

Wutong sighed, and put all the neatly packed documents into the box, not daring to hide anything from Ji Minyan, "I dreamed about the princess getting married, and I woke up happily. I heard that the princess was not asleep, so I wanted to come and see Princess."

The anger in Ji Minyan's heart kept choking in her throat, and she looked suspiciously at the female officer in blue who was looking at her kindly.

When she was born, Indus was given to her by Queen Mother Su of Su Zhaoyi as a female officer. She took care of her from childhood and her position in her heart was second only to Queen Wang.

"Who is the son-in-law?" Ji Minyan asked.

The pity in Wutong's eyes was even worse, "I woke up before I saw the appearance of the son-in-law."

If the princess really likes the son of the Marquis of Runan, she will ask "Is the son-in-law the son of the Marquis of Runan?"

Wutong has already recognized the fact that there is no way to make Ji Minyan happy, so he said whatever he wanted, and it was all to pass the time with Ji Minyan, "When you went to pay your respects to the queen mother and the concubine, the princess mansion sent a message that the 27th of the twelfth lunar month is the birthday of the Marquis of Runan , the Marquis of Runan will invite relatives and friends to get together, and ask the princess to show her face."

Ji Minyan nodded, "Spare longevity peaches, and a pair of enamel bowls. If Jingrou and Mingtong are free, I'll take them there."

Let them take the time to look at Mr. Chang'an more, so that they don't get confused like her and make Aye anxious.

Wutong nodded and asked in a low voice, "Princess Anwu..."

Ji Minyan took a sip of the tea cup that had been chilled a long time ago, "I didn't touch Xiao Wu's silk scarf."

In case the rumors and her speculations are false, it is true that Xiao Wu never let the silk scarf leave her body because she cared too much about the scar on her neck, and she might be sad for a while when she saw that scar.

It's not that there are other ways to confirm the guess, why make Xiao Wu sad.

Ji Minyan raised the corners of her mouth, and whispered something to Wutong in a low voice.

Wu Tong showed surprise, and looked at Ji Minyan with admiration and pride, "Princess is smart, I will arrange people to prepare it, and I can bring the things tomorrow."

Ji Xinxue thought that he was finally able to sleep on the bed, and got drunk twice in one day, and would sleep for at least seven or eight hours before getting up.

He deliberately ordered the maid before going to bed to send someone to report Concubine Zhong Shu's safety when the palace gate opened the next day.Tell Concubine Zhong Shu that he will sleep in first, and then go to Zhuangzi to visit her in the afternoon.

Before going to bed, Ji Xinxue suddenly thought of the last problem, which might reduce the quality of his sleep.He called Qingyun loudly, and explained, "If Fenglang comes to see me tomorrow morning, tell him to wait for me in the study, and don't need to wake me up."

When Ji Xinxue lay down on the bed warmed by Mrs. Tang, and closed her eyes contentedly, she never thought about the possibility that he would toss and turn all night and wake up frequently.

During the journey, at night there was the sound of cold wind, howling of wolves, and the sudden neighing of a horse... He never opened his eyes twelve times for no reason!

Ji Xinxue opened her eyes suddenly when turning over again, forced her sleepy eyes to stare at the cloth tiger beside the pillow, lost in thought.

why.

When he opened his eyes last time, what he saw was a dark blue bed net.

Ji Xinxue spent a long time thinking but couldn't sort out her troubled thoughts, unknowingly fell into a deep sleep again, and then suddenly opened her eyes in the feeling of sudden weightlessness.

Strangely, the tiger disappeared and turned into agarwood carved in the shape of a lotus.

Ji Xinxue struggled to overcome the drowsiness, and sat up on the quilt with a tired face.He looked around, lost in thought.

This is Chang'an Palace, there will be no more strange noises to disturb his sleep.

The female officers and maids around him all knew his old disease of waking up easily at night, and there was not even a night watchman in the house, let alone a sound.

He also didn't recognize pillows and quilts.

So, why does he wake up frequently?

Forget it, I'm too sleepy, I'll think about it when I wake up.

Ji Xinxue relaxed her body, allowing her head, which was completely in chaos, to hit the pillow, and had a dream that was always awakened.When he opened his eyes full of anger, he happened to meet Shangbu Tiger's big piercing eyes.

Why did he turn over again?

Um?Why use the word 'again'.

Ji Xinxue turned into a supine position, and the exhaustion from the long days of driving and riding became more and more intense, but the sleepiness completely disappeared.He carefully recalled the mood when he woke up every time, and only remembered the cloth tiger from various angles, the dark blue bed curtain and the wood lotus carved from agarwood.

It wasn't until the first ray of light in the morning light shone on Ji Xinxue's eyes along the gap between the bed curtains that Ji Xinxue's already numb face suddenly came to light.

It was Yu Heng who killed him!

Every time he woke up when he turned over, he found it strange that when he opened his eyes, what he saw changed from a cloth tiger to a dark blue bed curtain, and then to a lotus carved from agarwood.

Because he has long been used to being suppressed by the domineering and domineering Yu Heng who sleeps all night.No matter how many times you open your eyes at night, your sleeping position will not change.

Ji Xinxue wiped her face, grabbed the cloth tiger next to the pillow and threw it into the distance.

The rope on Buhuo's body was pulled, and Qingyun, who was on duty next door, rushed over immediately, "Master, what's wrong?"

"If Feng Lang comes looking for me, let him come in directly."

Even through the bed curtain, knowing that Qingyun couldn't see his expression, Ji Xinxue still raised her hand to cover her face.

Fortunately, Qingyun was considerate and didn't ask why Ji Xinxue changed his mind overnight. After answering in a low voice, he quietly backed out.

Ji Xinxue slept intermittently for a while again, and when the sun completely shone into the room, Yu Heng didn't wait for Yu Heng to accompany him to sleep back into the cage.

He yawned and pulled the cloth tiger, washed and dressed, and was going to Zhuangzi to visit Concubine Zhong Shu.

Considering Concubine Zhong Shu's mood, Ji Xinxue only drew the shape of her eyebrows and applied lip balm, but did not soften the edges and corners of her face with water powder.

He ordered the maid to comb his hair to give him a bun suitable for embellishing the eyebrows, and then covered half of his face and Adam's apple with a veil.

The head is decorated with light blue silk flowers and white hosta, the eyebrows are embellished with lotus-shaped sapphires, half of the face and neck from the eyes down are hidden in pea-green silk scarves with lotus patterns drawn with silver threads middle.

Thanks to Emperor Changping for giving him a pair of phoenix eyes that look forward and shine.

The effect of such a simple dress is not weaker than the effect of carefully softening the edges and corners of the face with water powder, and then dressing up.

When he arrived at Zhuangzi, he acted according to Concubine Zhong Shu's face.

Concubine Zhong Shu wanted to see her son, so he let go of her hair and took off the silk scarf.

Concubine Zhong Shu wanted to see her daughter, so he always wrapped the silk scarf around her neck.

Ji Xinxue blinked at the bronze mirror, and asked casually, "Has Feng Lang left the palace?"

If Yu Heng hadn't left the palace yet, he would just be able to send Yu Heng back to Princess An's mansion.

Qingyun paused for a moment to adjust the hem of the skirt, "I'll send someone to ask."

Ji Xinxue nodded, not aware of Qingyun's abnormality at all, and instructed, "Go and see the gift I prepared for Auntie, don't make any mistakes."

"Yes" Qingyun left, winked at Caishi, and reminded Caishi not to say catchy words and affect Ji Xinxue's mood.

Little did they know that Caishi didn't care about anything except Ji Xinxue on weekdays, and didn't even know what she was worrying about.

Not long after, Qingyun left and returned, his expression was more rigid than when he left, he didn't dare to look at Ji Xinxue's expression at all, he lowered his head and said, "The king of the county said that there is an urgent matter in Princess An's mansion, and he has already left the palace first."

Ji Xinxue nodded, focusing all her attention on the peace talisman in her hand for Concubine Zhong Shu.

After all, Yu Heng is the head of Princess An's Mansion, and he didn't go back to Princess An's Mansion on the first day back in Chang'an, so he should have gone back earlier the next day.

Because Ji Xinxue had prepared many gifts for Concubine Zhong Shu, she also wanted to see if Concubine Zhong Shu would welcome him, and considered staying in Zhuangzi for a few days.Although the princess guard of honor was not used, the combined number of carriages used did not reduce the momentum at all.

Sitting in the first carriage, Ji Xinxue specially ordered colored stones to accompany him, recalling Concubine Zhong Shu's various little habits with colored stones on the road.

"Princess!" Qingyun's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage, faintly crying.

Surprise appeared in Ji Xinxue's eyes, she raised the curtain at hand, and immediately saw Qingyun with her head bowed deeply, "What's wrong?"

"I have something to report, can the princess allow you to go in?" Qing Yun spoke very slowly, but her tone was the same as usual, as if the crying just now was just Ji Xinxue's illusion.

Ji Xinxue turned to look at Caishi, and found that Caishi was also in a daze, and said in a deep voice, "Come."

Female officers can call themselves 'I' rather than 'slave'.

Qingyun has been with Ji Xinxue for many years, except when she first came to Ji Xinxue's side, she was extra cautious, and would only call herself a 'slave' when she made a mistake.

She was dragged into the carriage by Caishi and immediately fell to her knees, "Princess, there is something I didn't tell you."

"I sent someone to ask the king of the county if he wanted to go out of the palace with you. The palace man came back and told me that the king of the county has a wound on his face."

Qingyun bit her lower lip nervously.

Because the king of the county personally ordered the palace people not to tell the princess about this matter.That's why she didn't tell the princess about the injury of the county king without the princess asking.

In the case of the princess, there really shouldn't be any conflicts with the King Ling.

Ji Xinxue raised the curtain and looked out of the carriage.

Surrounded by barren land, they have left Chang'an.

Except for my brother, no one dared to do anything to Yu Heng. Even if someone had the guts of a bear, he would be punished immediately. Qingyun would not deliberately hide this matter from him.

When he asked Qingyun to go to elder brother's palace to ask Yu Heng if he wanted to leave the palace with him, the sky was already bright and the palace gate had already been unlocked.

Yu Heng is very strong in his bones, if he gets angry because of the injury on his face, he will definitely leave his elder brother's palace immediately like he left the British government overnight when he was a child.

Ji Xinxue bit the tip of her tongue to keep calm, and finally did not let the team turn around, and said loudly to Jin Wuwei beside her, "speed up, don't worry about the bumps."

Yu Heng didn't want him to know, so he pretended not to know, and gave Yu Heng a day to think about how to tell him about it.

Returning to the city at night, he went to Princess An's mansion to block Yu Heng.

If Yu Heng dared to avoid him, he would go directly to ask brother.

It wasn't until she could vaguely see Zhuangzi's outline through the car window that Ji Xinxue looked at the kneeling Qingyun and said coldly, "It was Bijuan who reminded you."

The sweat on Qingyun's forehead fell silently, and he never dared to lie to Ji Xinxue again, "Yes."

Ji Xinxue nodded, "You will be fined for half a year, and you won't do it again next time."

The elder sister was right, he was about to open a mansion, and there were only three female officials around him, including Caishi who only took care of him and didn't care about other affairs, it seemed cramped, and the vacancy of female officials should be filled as soon as possible.

Caishi is as old as Mrs. Zhong, and she has long given up the idea of ​​getting married, and he will give Caishi a pension.

Bijuan was eight years older than him, and Qingyun was three years older than him, they were both in their prime years, and he would entrust someone to find a husband's family for them.

Regardless of whether Bijuan and Qingyun are married or not, there will always be a place for them in the Princess Mansion, but the female officer around him who is in charge of all matters must be a clear-headed person.

I hope Qingyun doesn't make mistakes again.

When Qingyun heard that Ji Xinxue said that she would be fined for half a year, Qingyun immediately raised her heart in her throat.

After a while, she didn't hear the follow-up punishment, the tension in her eyes gradually turned into blankness, she boldly raised her head, and quietly glanced at Ji Xinxue.

Ji Xinxue didn't look at Qingyun, he took off his veil and left the carriage straight away.

Qingyun reached out and grabbed Caishi who was about to get off the carriage, "Sister Caishi?"

Caishi knew what Qingyun wanted to ask, and immediately said, "Yes, the princess is kind, and I only punish you for Yueyin."

For their personal servants who always get rewards from the princess, as long as the princess doesn't say that they are not allowed to serve, even if they have no monthly silver for the rest of their lives, it is not a punishment for them.

After all, if the princess casually rewarded them with a piece of jewelry, it would be enough for them to earn moon money for decades.

Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar figure at the gate of Zhuangzi, the only anger left in Ji Xinxue's heart dissipated, and she strode towards Concubine Zhong Shu.

No matter where Concubine Zhong Shu lived, as long as he came to visit Concubine Zhong Shu, Concubine Zhong Shu would wait outside the door in person.It was like this when she was in Qixia Courtyard, and it was also like this when she was in Jianjia Palace. Now she is in Zhuangzi, Concubine Zhong Shu still hasn't changed her habits.

Ji Xinxue solemnly saluted Concubine Zhong Shu, "Greetings to Aunt."

Concubine Zhong Shu held Ji Xinxue's arm firmly, and said repeatedly, "Aniang knows you know how to be polite, let's go in and find a futon, this place is too dirty."

Ji Xinxue raised her head and looked at Concubine Zhong Shu carefully.

Nearly two years passed, Concubine Zhong Shu not only did not grow old, but looked younger.

I don't know if it's because the important matter that has been suppressed in my heart for many years has finally come to fruition. She is really as she said, as long as she knows that Ji Xinxue is good and sees Ji Xinxue every now and then, everything will be satisfied.

It was because the damage done to her by the half pill she had taken was gradually making up for it, which made her look radiant.

As soon as he approached Zhuangzi, Ji Xinxue saw the little pony probing his head in the distance and the two different groups of people huddled together.
