I was a princess in ancient times
Chapter 107
Yu Heng, who had finished worshiping his ancestors, entered the palace before noon.He first went to Fengxiang Palace to pay his respects to Emperor Changping, and had dinner with Ji Xinxue who happened to be in Fengxiang Palace.
After lunch, Emperor Changping wanted to write blessings to the clan, nobles and courtiers.Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were in charge of sorting out the roster and deciding which family to send the words written by Emperor Changping.
Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng didn't have time to gossip until the prince of Qinghe County asked to see Emperor Changping to discuss the details of ancestor worship on New Year's Eve and Yuan Day with Emperor Changping.
"The fourth sister already knows my gender." Ji Xinxue told Yu Heng in a low voice what happened the day before yesterday, "Yesterday, the fourth sister participated in six banquets in a row to see her Adam's apple, and left Princess Huai'an's mansion at dawn this morning to go to Duke Lu Go to the palace to have a banquet."
If Ji Jingrou hadn't just mentioned this matter casually, and instead focused on the various news from the banquets of the Rong family and the Zhang family, there was really no right time to speak, and Ji Xinxue would almost have said that Ji Mingtong was suddenly keen on banquets. Tell Ji Jingrou the reason.
Not counting the three immature younger siblings, there are five siblings in total, and Ji Baoshan, who is only half sensible.Two of the four people already knew his real gender, including Ji Mingtong who couldn't hide it.
Ji Xinxue felt that it would be better to confess in advance than to wait until the first day and suddenly appear in front of the unprepared Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou in the prince's uniform.
In case they realized that Ji Minyan and Ji Mingtong had known his gender in advance on the first day, besides complaining that he had concealed it for many years, they would also blame him for being partial.
Yu Heng lowered his eyelids to block the obscurity. Before he entered the palace, he had already heard about Ji Mingtong's successive banquets yesterday.
Another person knows Axue's secret.
He restrained the irritability caused by this thought, and said to Ji Xinxue with a normal expression, "I thought Princess Jin Ming went to banquets everywhere because of the rumors."
"Rumor?" Ji Xinxue immediately thought of something that made Ji Mingtong break down, "Is it related to Kang Ge?"
Yu Heng nodded, and told Ji Xinxue the news he heard outside the palace.
Starting from yesterday, the news that Kang Shiwulang raised his wife suddenly spread throughout Chang'an. Not only were there rumors in the banquets of various governments, but also the people on the streets of Chang'an could say something about Ziwu Maoyou.
"I had someone check it out. The house in Qinghe Hutong was transferred to Kange five years ago. The little lady in the house was a personal maid who had served Kange for ten years. She was redeemed three years ago and became a citizen. Now Already six months pregnant."
Ji Xinxue counted the time, her eyes gradually deepened.
Ji Mingtong left Chang'an for fiefdom in the second year of Changping, and reunited with Kang Ge in the same year.
Kange's personal maid redeemed her body and became a citizen three years ago, also in the second year of Changping.
Even if the rumors that suddenly spread in Chang'an cannot be ruled out, it was deliberately done by someone with a heart.
Kang Ge's behavior of letting the redeemed maid live in his private house cannot be pushed to the person who spread the rumors.
"I want to drive Kang Ge out of Chang'an, and never allow him to appear in front of my sister. My sister also agrees to deal with this matter in this way, but Aye said that I want Kang Ge to have a 'good' year in Chang'an." Ji Xinxue said Face with hands, lost in thought.
He still couldn't figure out what was so special about Kang Pavilion.
Although the aristocratic family was able to gain a glimpse of life at the end of the Yanguang Dynasty with the help of the Cui family, the end of the Yanguang Dynasty happened to be a time when all forces in the court tacitly waited for the new emperor to ascend the throne and then exert their strength.
To put it bluntly, it is a radish and a pit. At that time, there were radishes in all the pits with fertile land. Even if the aristocratic family could enter the court, they could not occupy an important position, and could only eat leftovers that others did not want.
Under such circumstances, except for the Qi family and the Cui family who have never been in decline, the life of the rest of the family can only be said to have changed slightly, which is far from being called recasting the glory of the family.
Randomly find a second-rank official or a third-rank official who holds real power in the court, and they will give the so-called aristocratic family a face.
This is after considering that the aristocratic families are connected with each other, and the Qi family and the Cui family will not watch the rest of the aristocratic families being bullied, so they did not include the fourth-rank officials with real power.
According to the current situation, the head of the Kang family has the highest official rank, which is the third rank.
It's a pity that it is an honorary title without any real power.The person with the most real power served as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he was Cong Sipin. This person was not Kang Ge's biological father, but Kang Ge's uncle.
So Kang Ge said that he was a descendant of the family, leaving aside the messy false name, but he was the grandson of the third-rank official, the son of the sixth-rank official, and he was not the eldest grandson or the eldest son.
Even if he could climb up to Ji Mingtong, no one would think that Kang Ge would become Ji Mingtong's son-in-law.
Unless Ji Mingtong cried, made troubles, and hanged himself three times, he would not marry unless he was Kang Ge, and he would die or live for Kang Ge.
The fact is that Ji Mingtong cares more about Princess Huayang and Ji Cheng, who have played since they were young, and can do the most "rebellious" things for Kang Ge, only to prevent Princess Huayang and Ji Cheng from sending Kang Ge away.
The mere Kang family, the mere Kang Pavilion, is there anything special about it that deserves Emperor Changping's attention.
"Maybe it's not because of the Kang family, but because of the aristocratic family." Yu Heng said without any scruples what Ji Xinxue deliberately avoided, "The Qi family and the Cui family use their power to protect the rest of the family, and the rest of the family will naturally have to contribute their efforts to repay Qi. Shi and Cui Shi."
Ji Xinxue saw a slight change in Yu Heng's expression when he mentioned the Qi family, and changed the subject calmly, "Aye mentioned the marriage of the brothers and sisters yesterday, let me ask you if there is a girl you like, and he will marry you .”
There are still so many people in the court, even if there is a real problem with the family, there is no need for Yu Heng to kill relatives righteously.
Yu Heng lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the golden auspicious cloud on his robe.
He already has a marriage contract, why give him a marriage?
"No, I don't want to get married." Yu Heng raised his head again, staring into Ji Xinxue's eyes and said, "You... brothers and sisters are not married yet, so I'm not in a hurry."
"Yeah." Ji Xinxue nodded, "It was Prince Qinghe County who reminded Aye not to delay your marriage, and Aye asked me to ask you."
"Do you remember what you promised me?" After all, Yu Heng couldn't hold back, and said the words that were almost blurted out just now.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Yu Heng regretted it.
Why can't I hold back?
What if Ah Xue noticed his greedy and terrifying thoughts and thought of staying away from him?
Being able to stand beside Ah Xue as a close friend is already a great fortune, and he should be satisfied.
Knowing what to say at this time, and diverting from what he said just now, so that the past jokes will be buried in the memory forever, Yu Heng can't open his mouth no matter what.
He was not reconciled.
This is something that A Xue promised him personally, why can't he mention it?
The longer he stares at Ji Xinxue, the more afraid Yu Heng is that the dirty thoughts that are churning in his mind day and night will reveal their clues along his eyes.
He tried his best to control his longing and jealousy for non-existent people, waiting for the verdict from Ji Xinxue.
Do you still remember what you promised him?
As long as he doesn't marry a wife, take a concubine, or find a roommate, Axue will not marry a wife, take a concubine, or find a roommate.
After waiting for Ji Xinxue's answer for a long time, Yu Heng inevitably had other thoughts.
Could it be that the words he has always kept in his heart are just jokes spoken casually in A Xue's eyes?
No, Ah Xue will never perfunctory him, and she will definitely not forget what she promised him.
Could it be that Ah Xue already has someone he likes and wants to marry a wife, so he asked him if he wanted to marry a wife?
No, he was inseparable from A Xue all day long, if A Xue had someone he liked, he must have discovered the clue long ago.Besides, Ah Xue had nothing to say to him, and would take the initiative to tell him.
Could Ah Xue have sensed his dirty thoughts and wanted to warn him through marriage?
……
After an unknown amount of time, the light in Yu Heng's eyes completely dissipated.
He couldn't bear any risk of being completely pushed away by Ji Xinxue.
"I promised you... if you don't marry a wife, I won't marry a wife?" Ji Xinxue hesitated.In Yu Heng's view, the time was extremely long, but for Ji Xinxue, it was only long enough for him to analyze what Yu Heng was asking based on what he was communicating with Yu Heng, and then think about it for a while.
Yu Heng's dim eyes suddenly became brighter, and the pear dimple on the left side of his face, which was easily unwilling to see people, was also deeper than ever, as if it was filled with mellow pear wine.
Infected by Yu Heng's emotions, Ji Xinxue also smiled brightly, but felt a faint sense of disobedience in her heart.
Yu Heng didn't expect to hear Ji Xinxue's answer when he had given up getting the answer and was about to lead the topic elsewhere. He was overjoyed, completely irrational, and couldn't wait to ask, "You will keep your promise, won't you?"
Ji Xinxue nodded, feeling more disobedient in her heart.
When I was 13 years old, I said such words, it was a pure and lovely child's words.
When he was about to turn 17, he still insisted on the promise of the year...
The probing in Ji Xinxue's eyes made Yu Heng belatedly aware of his gaffe.
He put on the finely crafted mask again, and said calmly, "Just remember our agreement. You have someone you like, don't hide it from me, I won't let this agreement delay your lifelong event."
"Or do you already have someone you like?" When he asked this sentence, the superficial smile on Yu Heng's face turned into a sincere indulgence.
It doesn't matter, Ji Xinxue will find that the person she likes is not worthy of liking, and it doesn't count as delaying a lifelong event for their agreement.
Ji Xinxue shook her head, subconsciously wanted to explain carefully but felt that there was nothing to explain, she could only express firmness in her tone, "No, I never had the idea of getting married."
It is not surprising that the 17-year-old still insists on the promise of childhood.
When he heard that Emperor Changping wanted to match Ji Mingtong and Yu Heng, he worried that if they got married, and he would have a conflict with Ji Mingtong, Ji Mingtong and Yu Heng would ignore him at the same time, wouldn't he be more naive than Yu Heng.
Besides, he was usually worried that when Yu Heng got married in the future, whether the Princess of Xianglin County would wish Yu Heng to alienate him because she cared that he had been engaged to Yu Heng for several years.
These worries are all because he and Yu Heng regard each other as very important, and marriage is another very important thing in life.
When the dust settles in a few years, when he and Yu Heng think back on all the thoughts they have now, they might laugh so hard that they can't drink.
Emperor Changping stayed with the Prince of Qinghe County for dinner at Fengxiang Palace, and specially asked Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng to serve drinks.
As soon as Ji Xinxue stepped into the side hall, she felt a strange look from the prince of Qinghe County.
First, it stayed on his face for a long time, then gathered at the silk scarf around his neck, and finally went all the way down, landing in an indescribable position.
Ji Xinxue subconsciously hid behind Yu Heng.
It must be Emperor Changping who revealed his true gender to Prince Qinghe, and Prince Qinghe looked so presumptuously.
Ji Xinxue can understand that the prince of Qinghe County knows that he is the lord, and it will be strange to see him again, but... remembering that Ji Minyan used a menstrual belt to test him, and when Ji Mingtong didn't believe that the lord would have an Adam's apple, he also subconsciously looked at it. In an indescribable position, Ji Xinxue couldn't think of how to complain about the prince of Qinghe County.
Yu Heng stood in front of Ji Xinxue, staring at Prince Qinghe Prince's eyes gravely, "Uncle."
"Well..." Sensing Yu Heng's undisguised hostility, Prince Qinghe coughed lightly, and turned his eyes to Emperor Changping's face as if nothing had happened, with suspicion appearing between his brows, "You really didn't lie to me?"
In the three generations of the clan, and even in the whole of Chang'an for a hundred years, there was no beauty with a better appearance and bearing than Xiao Wu. How could it be the prince?
He could understand that Emperor Changping had a headache about the heir, and he also felt that Xiao Wu was more suitable to be a prince than Xiao Er.With the audacity of Emperor Changping, it's not that he couldn't let his daughter pretend to be his son to inherit the throne.
"Yes, I deliberately lied to Uncle Wang just now." Emperor Changping replied with a smile on his face, raised his wine glass to signal to Prince Qinghe, drank it down, and said, "Apologize to Uncle Wang."
Seeing this, Prince Qinghe's eyes became more suspicious.He picked up the jug to fill the empty cup in Emperor Changping's hand, and suggested, "It happens that Ji Cheng has nothing to do all day, and he is too busy to pet cats and dogs to pass the time. Aye and Aniang's brains hurt from making trouble, so let him bring Fenglang and Auntie together." Xiao Wu went to the hot spring village to play."
Emperor Changping sneered, "Chinese New Year is coming soon, what hot springs are you going to? Let them go to the banquet honestly, whoever decides the marriage first, I will reward you a lot!"
The prince of Qinghe County showed his approval.
It should have been married earlier. Compared with previous dynasties, the imperial family of the Yu Dynasty has not been considered as flourishing.
The prince of Qinghe County no longer cared about Ji Xinxue, who would not change for the time being, whether it was the princess or the prince, and instead asked about Ji Minyan's marriage, "Will the Jinwu Guard who went to investigate Ah Buhan Bing come back?"
If you have to choose a son-in-law from among the princes of other races, Abu Hanbing can be said to stand out.
The Turkic prince is already an abandoned son of Turkic, but he is still ambitious, trying to use the power of the Yu Dynasty to kill Turkic all day long.
Prince Nanzhao came to Chang'an to meet Emperor Changping and learn the culture of the Yu Dynasty, and he would leave Chang'an sooner or later.
Abu Hanbing was only Mohe Khan's nephew, and his status in Mohe Khan was far from that of Mohe Khan's own son, and he had never had the possibility of inheriting the position of Khan.
Mohe Khan sent him to Chang'an could not be called giving up, and he would not bother to let Ah Buhanbing go back.
Emperor Changping nodded, and the unhappiness on his face was even worse, "Abuhan Bing is just an orphan adopted by Ahbuhan's real brother, and he is regarded as a real prisoner of Ahbuhan. The movement from Henan Road and Huainan Road spread to Hebei Road, alarming Ah Buhan. Hanzhen, Turkic and Nanzhao sent envoys to Chang'an one after another, Ah Buhanzhen remembered the prisoners who had been deprived of their surnames and gave them surnames again."
Compared with the genuine princes sent by Turkic and Nanzhao, Emperor Changping was really not satisfied with Mohe's perfunctory.
The prince of Qinghe County pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think?"
A Buhan Bing actually has a deep hatred with A Buhan, which is a bit troublesome, but it is just trouble.
"Not much." Emperor Changping put down his wine glass, and looked at Prince Qinghe's son with condemnation.He picked up the jug at hand and filled the small bowl in front of Prince Qinghe, "Drink!"
At least during the Chinese New Year, he didn't want to think about Ji Minyan's marriage anymore.
Emperor Changping had a 'happy' chat with the Prince of Qinghe County, and they both took wine jugs to refill each other again and again, without giving Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng a chance to show off.
Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, who were originally here to serve drinks, ate dinner slowly, and left Fengxiang Palace under the disgusted eyes of Emperor Changping.
When he was about to reach Yuhe Palace, an old eunuch with a lantern came up to him. He said that Ji Jingyu had something important to discuss with Yu Heng, and he asked Yu Heng to go to Ji Jingyu Palace.
Ji Xinxue deliberately said to Yu Heng, "I also have something to say, remember to come back."
If he didn't say this, according to Ji Jingyu's habit, he would definitely not let Yu Heng leave after the palace gate was locked.
If Yu Heng hasn't entered the palace for three days, he hasn't had a good night's sleep for three days, so he must not miss the pillow that was sent to the palace on his own initiative!
Watching Yu Heng leave with the old eunuch, Ji Xinxue continued to walk in the direction of Yuhe Palace, and saw an unexpected person at the gate of Yuhe Palace.
"Brother?"
If it hadn't been for sure that the old eunuch was Ji Jingyu's confidant, Ji Xinxue would have suspected that Yu Heng had fallen into a trap.
Ji Jingyu nodded, and said softly, "I want to talk to you, so that Fushun can call Yu Heng away first."
"It just so happens that I have something to say to brother." Ji Xinxue said with a smile.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, first tell Ji Jingyu that he is a man, and then find a chance to confess to Ji Jingrou tomorrow.
As a younger brother, he has to be level with a bowl of water.
Because she wanted to tell Ji Jingyu the secret, Ji Xinxue didn't take Ji Jingyu to the flower hall.He took Ji Jingyu to the greenhouse, and specially asked the palace servants to bring warm water.
Ji Xinxue was not worried that Ji Jingyu would be so angry that he would pour hot tea on him, but he was afraid that Ji Jingyu would be too shocked and pour hot tea on himself.
Ji Jingyu carefully looked at her younger sister who had grown up unknowingly.
In his memory, for a long time, Ji Xinxue was the thinnest among the sisters.
Coming back from the fief this time, Ji Xinxue's figure changed the most.
It's a pity that Yu Heng, who returned to Chang'an together with Ji Xinxue, has changed even more in appearance, so that Ji Jingyu has not really felt like a younger sister until now.
This made Ji Jingyu hesitate about what he wanted to say.
"What do you want to tell me?" Ji Jingyu felt that he needed to think again about how to speak.
"Brother, speak first." Ji Xinxue was afraid that she would speak first, and Ji Jingyu would not want to say anything.
The two looked at each other, and it was no surprise that the one who compromised was Ji Jingyu.
"I will beg Aye to set a wedding date for you and Feng Lang as soon as possible after the next year. Don't be in a hurry...cough cough" Before she finished speaking, Ji Jingyu's face was flushed with embarrassment, and her voice became smaller and smaller. "If you were pregnant before marriage, this child may not be recorded in the jade plate of Princess An's Mansion."
Although the title of the younger sister can also be inherited, whether it is from the perspective of the clan or the court, the title of An Guo Princess Mansion is more important.
If the younger sister only wants to have one child, it is best that this child can be safely recorded in the jade plate of Princess An's Mansion, otherwise the younger sister will have at least two.
In addition, unmarried pregnant women have to face all kinds of gossip.
Ji Jingyu really couldn't bear to see Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng have a smooth journey, but they encountered twists and turns when the good things were about to come true. Seeing that Yu Heng refused to change after repeated admonitions, he could only endure the embarrassment to remind Ji Xinxue.
Ji Xinxue had a horrified smile on his face, he didn't understand why Ji Jingyu had such...outrageous worries.
Before he had time to think about it, the words of explanation had already blurted out, "Brother, don't worry, Yu Heng and I will never have children."
Hearing this, Ji Jingyu was not relieved, but even more worried.
He grasped the robe by his side, unconsciously leaned his upper body forward, and hurriedly said, "Who has a problem with his body? What did the imperial doctor say, can he recover?"
"No!" Ji Xinxue was more anxious than Ji Jingyu, and quickly raised her trembling hands to untie the silk scarf around her neck.Because of too much force, the silk scarf was torn into two pieces.
Ji Jingyu, who was focusing all her attention on Ji Xinxue, immediately saw the Adam's apple hidden under the silk scarf.The anxiety on his face froze in an instant, and the upper body that was leaning forward pressed tightly against the back chair, and said in a hoarse voice, "What is this?"
"It's the Adam's apple, brother." Ji Xinxue took half a step forward, grabbed Ji Jingyu's hand on her lap and brought it closer to her neck, explaining seriously, "Yu Heng and I just simply slept together. That's all."
Ji Jingyu blinked his empty eyes, and let Ji Xinxue play with it like a lifeless puppet, passively feeling the obvious curvature of his Adam's apple.
After a while, Ji Jingyu raised his head and looked at Ji Xinxue carefully.
From the three-tailed phoenix hairpin on Ji Xinxue's head to the golden phoenix tail hanging between her forehead, to the graceful willow-leaf eyebrows, the shimmering phoenix eyes, the straight and delicate nose, the thin and straight lips, and the real Adam's apple, Hidden in the girdle is a slender waist that can be grasped...
Ji Jingyu understood what Ji Xinxue's words meant, but there was only one thought in her mind.
'My sister has an Adam's apple. '
His eyes followed the boots, which were not too big among girls, and returned to the original path, staying at the girdle embroidered with phoenix patterns.
Ji Xinxue endured her shame and whispered, "I..."
No, even my elder brother can't walk the bird, he can't accept it.
"Feng Lang said that you have been sleeping together every day since you were 12 years old. He deliberately pretended to be pitiful, so you agreed to him." Ji Jingyu said incoherently.
If Xiao Wu was a younger brother, not a younger sister, why didn't Feng Lang defend himself when he was misunderstood or even beaten?
Ji Xinxue counted the days, nodded lightly, and told Ji Jingyu that the two slept together because of insomnia at first, but now it has become a habit.
Hearing this, Ji Jingyu's expression became more and more complicated, and he carefully explained to Ji Xinxue how he injured Yu Heng by mistake.
Finally knowing why Ji Jingyu attacked Yu Heng, Ji Xinxue felt that he was more confused than when he didn't know the truth.
Not to mention that Yu Heng's drinking capacity is far better than him, so he won't get drunk easily.
Even if he is really drunk, Yu Heng is not in the habit of making conversation, let alone being provocative on purpose.
The Yu Heng in Ji Jingyu's mouth was like a complete stranger to him.
The two looked at each other silently for a long time before Ji Xinxue spoke again, explaining to Ji Jingyu a reasonable explanation about the matter of 'concealing the gender', and finally said, "Brother, if you don't believe me, you can ask A yeah."
Ji Jingyu nodded silently, looked at Ji Xinxue for several rounds, and then walked away with heavy steps.
Not long after, after waiting for a long time in Jijingyu Palace, Yu Heng, who finally realized that something was wrong, hurried back to Yuhe Palace, with faint sweat on his forehead.
Ji Xinxue had already changed into loose clothes that were old and not old. He leaned against the wall with his hands folded over his chest, watching Yu Heng change his clothes and wipe his face with fixed eyes.
It was only when Ji Xinxue was trying to connect the recently discovered abnormities together that the aberrant details were randomly piled up in different corners, accumulating to a shocking level.
Although every violation has a reasonable explanation, but there are so many places that need to be explained... No matter how deep his filter on Yu Heng is, he can't say that this is a normal phenomenon.
Yu Heng, do you have... unusual thoughts about him?
That's why after drinking, he provoked brother because of that kind of thing.
Care about whether he still remembers the joke when he was twelve or thirteen years old.
Perhaps Ji Jingrou's guess was right, the person who attacked the honorable children who were making noise outside the city one after another within three days was also Yu Heng.
"Brother, what did you say to you?" Yu Heng removed the hot towel from his face, and looked at Ji Xinxue inquiringly.
Ji Xinxue blinked, and said slowly, "We are not allowed to mess around and hurt ourselves before marriage."
While speaking, Ji Xinxue stared closely at Yu Heng's eyes, trying to find evidence that could confirm his suspicions.
Embarrassment appeared on Yu Heng's face, and he whispered, "I have already explained this to brother."
Ji Xinxue asked, "When?"
"The last time I was drunk." The embarrassment on Yu Heng's face became heavier, and he hesitated to tell Ji Xinxue what he said to Ji Jingyu after he was drunk.
Compared with the version that Ji Jingyu told Ji Xinxue not long ago, because Yu Heng was already drunk at the time, he spoke vaguely in many places, and he smiled wryly, "I knew that brother would say something similar to the words in the script, I'm sure I'll read it in another script."
Ji Xinxue didn't respond to Yu Heng's words, and the inquiry in her eyes didn't decrease at all.
It was like this again, whenever he felt that Yu Heng's behavior was strange, Yu Heng could always explain his behavior with a suitable reason immediately.
It was as if he felt strange in the morning that the 17-year-old Yu Heng still remembered the childish promise of "I will not marry you if you don't get married" when she was twelve or thirteen years old.Yu Heng immediately said that if he had someone he liked, their agreement would be void.
With a normal face, Yu Heng put his hand on Ji Xinxue's shoulder, pushed Ji Xinxue towards the bed, and said in a helpless tone, "Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to the princess' mansion to get the storybook. I know that the conversation between my brother and I was very similar to the dialogue in the script, and even the two punches that brother punched me were exactly the same as the plot in the script."
Ji Xinxue believes that with Yu Heng's intelligence, she will not tell lies that can be easily exposed, but she feels inexplicable unwillingness in her heart.He turned his head abruptly, "Third Sister came to the palace to look for me today, let me persuade you to restrain yourself."
"Huh?" A dark color flashed in Yu Heng's eyes. When he looked up, he saw Ji Xinxue's serious expression. He temporarily gave up the remarks he had prepared a long time ago, and said with a smile, "Even if the people in Chengyehou's mansion know, it is I who asked them to take their The scandal is spreading all over the place, and they dare not come to trouble me. It’s not that I forced Mr. Sanlang to keep the oiran as his concubine. As long as the oiran goes to make trouble, the scandal of Chengyehou’s mansion will spread throughout Chang’an sooner or later.”
"You only meddled in the affairs of the Marquis of Chengye?" Ji Xinxue looked at Yu Heng inquiringly.
Did he really think too much?
All kinds of violations collide one after another because of coincidences. Are all 'reasonable' explanations really reasonable?
"What else is there?" Yu Heng looked back at Ji Xinxue in confusion.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Ji Xinxue turned her head first, "It's okay."
Fortunately, he didn't directly ask Yu Heng if he had unusual thoughts about him.
Otherwise, I am afraid that I will have to find a seam to spend the rest of my life in order to forget the embarrassment of being passionate.
After a night without dreams until dawn, Ji Xinxue felt refreshed for a long time, and incidentally forgot the embarrassment of yesterday.
He sat up and stretched to relieve his fatigue, and said to Yu Heng with a smile, "Today we can not only see Ah Buhan Bing, but also girls from the Rong family and girls from the Zhang family."
Having said that, Ji Xinxue's eyes were full of worry, "I don't know if my brother was hit by me, and it shouldn't affect his choice of concubine?"
Judging by the reactions of his brothers and sisters, his women's clothing seems to be very successful.
Don't let Ji Jingyu have a psychological shadow, and stare at the neck first when seeing a girl.
Yu Heng raised his hand and patted Ji Xinxue's arm, and comforted him calmly, "It's okay, the queen mother gave girls from the Rong family and girls from the Zhang family a few years ago that only concubines can wear palace clothes, and they will wear palace clothes today."
Ji Xinxue was stunned for a moment before realizing what Yu Heng meant. For a moment, she didn't know whether to annoy Yu Heng to laugh at him for having no breasts, or to lament that Yu Heng knew so much about his figure that could be seen in palace clothes.
Once again, it proved that his worries yesterday were unnecessary.
Yu Heng is very straightforward.
Because it was a palace banquet on New Year's Eve, Ji Xinxue had to wear a palace dress even if she had no breasts, so he specially asked the embroiderer to prepare small shawls of various materials in advance.
Yu Heng has always dressed up faster than Ji Xinxue. He only needs to change into the county king's regular clothes after washing, tie his hair in a crown, and hang a semi-permanent golden unicorn and other accessories around his waist. A good position is waiting for Ji Xinxue to dress up.
Ji Xinxue raised her head and put on gouache, and complained in a low voice, "If I could change my clothes as quickly as you, that would be great."
"You look better than me after you finish your makeup." Yu Heng replied.
These words made Ji Xinxue straightforwardly feel the happiness that hard work will be rewarded. He raised the corners of his mouth reservedly, "I look better than you without makeup."
It's amazing to have the best looking Aye.
The two palace servants entered the door with low eyebrows, one walked towards Ji Xinxue who was closing his eyes, and the other walked towards Yu Heng holding the wooden box.
The maid who came to Ji Xinxue spoke first, "Your Majesty has an order 'let Xiao Wu dress plainly.'"
Ji Xinxue opened her eyes suddenly, "Su Jing?"
It's really embarrassing, who doesn't wear the big red and purple clothes during the New Year's festival, wishing to dress himself as an eight-treasure stand to show his status and power.
If he dared to be too vegetarian, Kai Dynasty would definitely be overwhelmed by the imperial censor's memorial.
There are at least a hundred and eighty crimes such as disrespecting the father and violating ancestral laws.
Ji Xinxue waved away the servants of Fengxiang Palace, looked at the bright and generous beauty in the bronze mirror, and said loudly, "Feng Lang, Aye, tell us to dress plainly!"
He cannot be allowed to face the impeachment of the officials alone.
Yu Heng chuckled, walked up to Ji Xinxue with the open notebook, and asked humbly, "Which color do you think is plain?
In Yuhe Palace, there are many common clothes of the county king that he has never worn, and they can be seen in almost any color.
Ji Xinxue looked towards the closet.
plain...
Red and purple are definitely not acceptable, big green looks old and is also a rich color, royal blue is never considered a plain color, and courtiers make trouble for those who cannot wear too plain.
"Raven blue?" Ji Xinxue pointed to the only dark color in the closet and said, "I remember you also have clothes of the same color, which were cut from the same fabric at the time, and you have never worn them before."
Because the crow blue color is too dull, neither he nor Yu Heng like it.
Yu Heng raised his head from the script and glanced at the closet, "I'll send someone to find out if that dress is in Yuhe Palace."
After finishing speaking, he put the story book in front of Ji Xinxue, "The story book is here. The conversation between my brother and I was here."
Ji Xinxue looked intently.
Let’s look at the content first, it’s almost completely in line with what Ji Jingyu and Yu Heng told him, it’s really outrageous.
Looking at the handwriting and binding, both can be called clean and tidy, and it is by no means a high-quality product that can be produced overnight.
He closed the story book and looked at the author's signature on the cover. Although he felt familiar, he couldn't remember where he had heard it. He thought it was a well-known author.
Ji Xinxue coughed lightly, to cover up the embarrassment of being affectionate, pointed to the place beside the bed and said, "Put it in the cabinet next to the bed, and I'll look at it when I come back tonight."
Two quarters of an hour later, Ji Xinxue finally improvised a set of clothes that were both simple and dignified without losing manners, and rushed to the place where the banquet was held together with Yu Heng.
Today's New Year's Eve feast, he only has three tasks.
Find Abuhan Bing and see how beautiful Abuhan Bing really is.
Show kindness to the girls from the Rong family and the girls from the Zhang family.Although he can't help Ji Jingyu choose a concubine, he can help the sisters and lead the girl from the Rong family and the girl from the Zhang family to say a few more words.
Find an opportunity to confess your gender to Ji Jingrou, so that when Ji Jingrou suddenly sees him in the prince's uniform tomorrow, and finds that Ji Minyan, Ji Jingyu, and Ji Mingtong are not surprised, his anger will only increase.
As for the cute little sister Ji Baoshan.
She was too young, and had almost forgotten all the repressions of the Yan Guang Dynasty.She knew about this matter, and she might not be able to control her thoughts and temper. It was really not suitable for her to know the inside story on the New Year's Eve banquet.
The palace banquet began at this hour, and courtiers and family members entered the palace one after another at Chenshi.
Emperor Changping personally went to meet Prince Qinghe, and went hand in hand with him to Anfu Palace, where palace banquets were held.
Seeing that although King Qinghe refused to go to court despite being sick all the time, his complexion was very good and he was full of energy, Emperor Changping was overjoyed, and bestowed wishful wishes to each of the juniors who had been with King Qinghe these days.
King Qinghe looked around, but he didn't see King Ling and the princesses, and asked, "Where are Huai'an and the others?"
Emperor Changping smiled, "Minyan and Jingrou have already gone to Fengzao Palace to entertain guests, Jingyu and Mingtong are at the courtiers' place, Xiaowu and Fenglang may be delayed by something, Baoshan is taking care of the youngest son."
Before he finished speaking, the seemingly absent voices outside the hall suddenly became noisy.
Emperor Changping and King Qinghe looked at the door at the same time.
It was rare for Mo Yao, who was wearing a red robe, to walk in with a golden knife in his arms. He paused for a while under the watchful eyes of Emperor Changping and Prince Qinghe, and walked slowly to Emperor Changping's side to stand still.
Today the palace is mixed with fish and dragons, he has to personally protect His Majesty.
Helplessness appeared in Emperor Changping's eyes, and he took the initiative to ask, "What's going on outside?"
Mo Yao's always calm eyes flashed almost invisible timidity very quickly, "The Queen of Qinghe County and the two eldest princesses praised Princess Anwu, and the gentlemen and girls heard the movement and came to watch the fun."
Fortunately, the clothes on his body are convenient for climbing over the wall, otherwise he would have to let the Jinwu Guard open the way to enter Anfu Palace.
The smile on the corner of Emperor Changping's mouth froze suddenly, and he was silent for a while before opening his mouth, "What praise do uncles and aunts praise him for?"
Mo Yao thought for a while, and summed up the long praise in the most concise language.
"The appearance of Luoshen."
After lunch, Emperor Changping wanted to write blessings to the clan, nobles and courtiers.Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were in charge of sorting out the roster and deciding which family to send the words written by Emperor Changping.
Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng didn't have time to gossip until the prince of Qinghe County asked to see Emperor Changping to discuss the details of ancestor worship on New Year's Eve and Yuan Day with Emperor Changping.
"The fourth sister already knows my gender." Ji Xinxue told Yu Heng in a low voice what happened the day before yesterday, "Yesterday, the fourth sister participated in six banquets in a row to see her Adam's apple, and left Princess Huai'an's mansion at dawn this morning to go to Duke Lu Go to the palace to have a banquet."
If Ji Jingrou hadn't just mentioned this matter casually, and instead focused on the various news from the banquets of the Rong family and the Zhang family, there was really no right time to speak, and Ji Xinxue would almost have said that Ji Mingtong was suddenly keen on banquets. Tell Ji Jingrou the reason.
Not counting the three immature younger siblings, there are five siblings in total, and Ji Baoshan, who is only half sensible.Two of the four people already knew his real gender, including Ji Mingtong who couldn't hide it.
Ji Xinxue felt that it would be better to confess in advance than to wait until the first day and suddenly appear in front of the unprepared Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou in the prince's uniform.
In case they realized that Ji Minyan and Ji Mingtong had known his gender in advance on the first day, besides complaining that he had concealed it for many years, they would also blame him for being partial.
Yu Heng lowered his eyelids to block the obscurity. Before he entered the palace, he had already heard about Ji Mingtong's successive banquets yesterday.
Another person knows Axue's secret.
He restrained the irritability caused by this thought, and said to Ji Xinxue with a normal expression, "I thought Princess Jin Ming went to banquets everywhere because of the rumors."
"Rumor?" Ji Xinxue immediately thought of something that made Ji Mingtong break down, "Is it related to Kang Ge?"
Yu Heng nodded, and told Ji Xinxue the news he heard outside the palace.
Starting from yesterday, the news that Kang Shiwulang raised his wife suddenly spread throughout Chang'an. Not only were there rumors in the banquets of various governments, but also the people on the streets of Chang'an could say something about Ziwu Maoyou.
"I had someone check it out. The house in Qinghe Hutong was transferred to Kange five years ago. The little lady in the house was a personal maid who had served Kange for ten years. She was redeemed three years ago and became a citizen. Now Already six months pregnant."
Ji Xinxue counted the time, her eyes gradually deepened.
Ji Mingtong left Chang'an for fiefdom in the second year of Changping, and reunited with Kang Ge in the same year.
Kange's personal maid redeemed her body and became a citizen three years ago, also in the second year of Changping.
Even if the rumors that suddenly spread in Chang'an cannot be ruled out, it was deliberately done by someone with a heart.
Kang Ge's behavior of letting the redeemed maid live in his private house cannot be pushed to the person who spread the rumors.
"I want to drive Kang Ge out of Chang'an, and never allow him to appear in front of my sister. My sister also agrees to deal with this matter in this way, but Aye said that I want Kang Ge to have a 'good' year in Chang'an." Ji Xinxue said Face with hands, lost in thought.
He still couldn't figure out what was so special about Kang Pavilion.
Although the aristocratic family was able to gain a glimpse of life at the end of the Yanguang Dynasty with the help of the Cui family, the end of the Yanguang Dynasty happened to be a time when all forces in the court tacitly waited for the new emperor to ascend the throne and then exert their strength.
To put it bluntly, it is a radish and a pit. At that time, there were radishes in all the pits with fertile land. Even if the aristocratic family could enter the court, they could not occupy an important position, and could only eat leftovers that others did not want.
Under such circumstances, except for the Qi family and the Cui family who have never been in decline, the life of the rest of the family can only be said to have changed slightly, which is far from being called recasting the glory of the family.
Randomly find a second-rank official or a third-rank official who holds real power in the court, and they will give the so-called aristocratic family a face.
This is after considering that the aristocratic families are connected with each other, and the Qi family and the Cui family will not watch the rest of the aristocratic families being bullied, so they did not include the fourth-rank officials with real power.
According to the current situation, the head of the Kang family has the highest official rank, which is the third rank.
It's a pity that it is an honorary title without any real power.The person with the most real power served as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he was Cong Sipin. This person was not Kang Ge's biological father, but Kang Ge's uncle.
So Kang Ge said that he was a descendant of the family, leaving aside the messy false name, but he was the grandson of the third-rank official, the son of the sixth-rank official, and he was not the eldest grandson or the eldest son.
Even if he could climb up to Ji Mingtong, no one would think that Kang Ge would become Ji Mingtong's son-in-law.
Unless Ji Mingtong cried, made troubles, and hanged himself three times, he would not marry unless he was Kang Ge, and he would die or live for Kang Ge.
The fact is that Ji Mingtong cares more about Princess Huayang and Ji Cheng, who have played since they were young, and can do the most "rebellious" things for Kang Ge, only to prevent Princess Huayang and Ji Cheng from sending Kang Ge away.
The mere Kang family, the mere Kang Pavilion, is there anything special about it that deserves Emperor Changping's attention.
"Maybe it's not because of the Kang family, but because of the aristocratic family." Yu Heng said without any scruples what Ji Xinxue deliberately avoided, "The Qi family and the Cui family use their power to protect the rest of the family, and the rest of the family will naturally have to contribute their efforts to repay Qi. Shi and Cui Shi."
Ji Xinxue saw a slight change in Yu Heng's expression when he mentioned the Qi family, and changed the subject calmly, "Aye mentioned the marriage of the brothers and sisters yesterday, let me ask you if there is a girl you like, and he will marry you .”
There are still so many people in the court, even if there is a real problem with the family, there is no need for Yu Heng to kill relatives righteously.
Yu Heng lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the golden auspicious cloud on his robe.
He already has a marriage contract, why give him a marriage?
"No, I don't want to get married." Yu Heng raised his head again, staring into Ji Xinxue's eyes and said, "You... brothers and sisters are not married yet, so I'm not in a hurry."
"Yeah." Ji Xinxue nodded, "It was Prince Qinghe County who reminded Aye not to delay your marriage, and Aye asked me to ask you."
"Do you remember what you promised me?" After all, Yu Heng couldn't hold back, and said the words that were almost blurted out just now.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Yu Heng regretted it.
Why can't I hold back?
What if Ah Xue noticed his greedy and terrifying thoughts and thought of staying away from him?
Being able to stand beside Ah Xue as a close friend is already a great fortune, and he should be satisfied.
Knowing what to say at this time, and diverting from what he said just now, so that the past jokes will be buried in the memory forever, Yu Heng can't open his mouth no matter what.
He was not reconciled.
This is something that A Xue promised him personally, why can't he mention it?
The longer he stares at Ji Xinxue, the more afraid Yu Heng is that the dirty thoughts that are churning in his mind day and night will reveal their clues along his eyes.
He tried his best to control his longing and jealousy for non-existent people, waiting for the verdict from Ji Xinxue.
Do you still remember what you promised him?
As long as he doesn't marry a wife, take a concubine, or find a roommate, Axue will not marry a wife, take a concubine, or find a roommate.
After waiting for Ji Xinxue's answer for a long time, Yu Heng inevitably had other thoughts.
Could it be that the words he has always kept in his heart are just jokes spoken casually in A Xue's eyes?
No, Ah Xue will never perfunctory him, and she will definitely not forget what she promised him.
Could it be that Ah Xue already has someone he likes and wants to marry a wife, so he asked him if he wanted to marry a wife?
No, he was inseparable from A Xue all day long, if A Xue had someone he liked, he must have discovered the clue long ago.Besides, Ah Xue had nothing to say to him, and would take the initiative to tell him.
Could Ah Xue have sensed his dirty thoughts and wanted to warn him through marriage?
……
After an unknown amount of time, the light in Yu Heng's eyes completely dissipated.
He couldn't bear any risk of being completely pushed away by Ji Xinxue.
"I promised you... if you don't marry a wife, I won't marry a wife?" Ji Xinxue hesitated.In Yu Heng's view, the time was extremely long, but for Ji Xinxue, it was only long enough for him to analyze what Yu Heng was asking based on what he was communicating with Yu Heng, and then think about it for a while.
Yu Heng's dim eyes suddenly became brighter, and the pear dimple on the left side of his face, which was easily unwilling to see people, was also deeper than ever, as if it was filled with mellow pear wine.
Infected by Yu Heng's emotions, Ji Xinxue also smiled brightly, but felt a faint sense of disobedience in her heart.
Yu Heng didn't expect to hear Ji Xinxue's answer when he had given up getting the answer and was about to lead the topic elsewhere. He was overjoyed, completely irrational, and couldn't wait to ask, "You will keep your promise, won't you?"
Ji Xinxue nodded, feeling more disobedient in her heart.
When I was 13 years old, I said such words, it was a pure and lovely child's words.
When he was about to turn 17, he still insisted on the promise of the year...
The probing in Ji Xinxue's eyes made Yu Heng belatedly aware of his gaffe.
He put on the finely crafted mask again, and said calmly, "Just remember our agreement. You have someone you like, don't hide it from me, I won't let this agreement delay your lifelong event."
"Or do you already have someone you like?" When he asked this sentence, the superficial smile on Yu Heng's face turned into a sincere indulgence.
It doesn't matter, Ji Xinxue will find that the person she likes is not worthy of liking, and it doesn't count as delaying a lifelong event for their agreement.
Ji Xinxue shook her head, subconsciously wanted to explain carefully but felt that there was nothing to explain, she could only express firmness in her tone, "No, I never had the idea of getting married."
It is not surprising that the 17-year-old still insists on the promise of childhood.
When he heard that Emperor Changping wanted to match Ji Mingtong and Yu Heng, he worried that if they got married, and he would have a conflict with Ji Mingtong, Ji Mingtong and Yu Heng would ignore him at the same time, wouldn't he be more naive than Yu Heng.
Besides, he was usually worried that when Yu Heng got married in the future, whether the Princess of Xianglin County would wish Yu Heng to alienate him because she cared that he had been engaged to Yu Heng for several years.
These worries are all because he and Yu Heng regard each other as very important, and marriage is another very important thing in life.
When the dust settles in a few years, when he and Yu Heng think back on all the thoughts they have now, they might laugh so hard that they can't drink.
Emperor Changping stayed with the Prince of Qinghe County for dinner at Fengxiang Palace, and specially asked Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng to serve drinks.
As soon as Ji Xinxue stepped into the side hall, she felt a strange look from the prince of Qinghe County.
First, it stayed on his face for a long time, then gathered at the silk scarf around his neck, and finally went all the way down, landing in an indescribable position.
Ji Xinxue subconsciously hid behind Yu Heng.
It must be Emperor Changping who revealed his true gender to Prince Qinghe, and Prince Qinghe looked so presumptuously.
Ji Xinxue can understand that the prince of Qinghe County knows that he is the lord, and it will be strange to see him again, but... remembering that Ji Minyan used a menstrual belt to test him, and when Ji Mingtong didn't believe that the lord would have an Adam's apple, he also subconsciously looked at it. In an indescribable position, Ji Xinxue couldn't think of how to complain about the prince of Qinghe County.
Yu Heng stood in front of Ji Xinxue, staring at Prince Qinghe Prince's eyes gravely, "Uncle."
"Well..." Sensing Yu Heng's undisguised hostility, Prince Qinghe coughed lightly, and turned his eyes to Emperor Changping's face as if nothing had happened, with suspicion appearing between his brows, "You really didn't lie to me?"
In the three generations of the clan, and even in the whole of Chang'an for a hundred years, there was no beauty with a better appearance and bearing than Xiao Wu. How could it be the prince?
He could understand that Emperor Changping had a headache about the heir, and he also felt that Xiao Wu was more suitable to be a prince than Xiao Er.With the audacity of Emperor Changping, it's not that he couldn't let his daughter pretend to be his son to inherit the throne.
"Yes, I deliberately lied to Uncle Wang just now." Emperor Changping replied with a smile on his face, raised his wine glass to signal to Prince Qinghe, drank it down, and said, "Apologize to Uncle Wang."
Seeing this, Prince Qinghe's eyes became more suspicious.He picked up the jug to fill the empty cup in Emperor Changping's hand, and suggested, "It happens that Ji Cheng has nothing to do all day, and he is too busy to pet cats and dogs to pass the time. Aye and Aniang's brains hurt from making trouble, so let him bring Fenglang and Auntie together." Xiao Wu went to the hot spring village to play."
Emperor Changping sneered, "Chinese New Year is coming soon, what hot springs are you going to? Let them go to the banquet honestly, whoever decides the marriage first, I will reward you a lot!"
The prince of Qinghe County showed his approval.
It should have been married earlier. Compared with previous dynasties, the imperial family of the Yu Dynasty has not been considered as flourishing.
The prince of Qinghe County no longer cared about Ji Xinxue, who would not change for the time being, whether it was the princess or the prince, and instead asked about Ji Minyan's marriage, "Will the Jinwu Guard who went to investigate Ah Buhan Bing come back?"
If you have to choose a son-in-law from among the princes of other races, Abu Hanbing can be said to stand out.
The Turkic prince is already an abandoned son of Turkic, but he is still ambitious, trying to use the power of the Yu Dynasty to kill Turkic all day long.
Prince Nanzhao came to Chang'an to meet Emperor Changping and learn the culture of the Yu Dynasty, and he would leave Chang'an sooner or later.
Abu Hanbing was only Mohe Khan's nephew, and his status in Mohe Khan was far from that of Mohe Khan's own son, and he had never had the possibility of inheriting the position of Khan.
Mohe Khan sent him to Chang'an could not be called giving up, and he would not bother to let Ah Buhanbing go back.
Emperor Changping nodded, and the unhappiness on his face was even worse, "Abuhan Bing is just an orphan adopted by Ahbuhan's real brother, and he is regarded as a real prisoner of Ahbuhan. The movement from Henan Road and Huainan Road spread to Hebei Road, alarming Ah Buhan. Hanzhen, Turkic and Nanzhao sent envoys to Chang'an one after another, Ah Buhanzhen remembered the prisoners who had been deprived of their surnames and gave them surnames again."
Compared with the genuine princes sent by Turkic and Nanzhao, Emperor Changping was really not satisfied with Mohe's perfunctory.
The prince of Qinghe County pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think?"
A Buhan Bing actually has a deep hatred with A Buhan, which is a bit troublesome, but it is just trouble.
"Not much." Emperor Changping put down his wine glass, and looked at Prince Qinghe's son with condemnation.He picked up the jug at hand and filled the small bowl in front of Prince Qinghe, "Drink!"
At least during the Chinese New Year, he didn't want to think about Ji Minyan's marriage anymore.
Emperor Changping had a 'happy' chat with the Prince of Qinghe County, and they both took wine jugs to refill each other again and again, without giving Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng a chance to show off.
Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, who were originally here to serve drinks, ate dinner slowly, and left Fengxiang Palace under the disgusted eyes of Emperor Changping.
When he was about to reach Yuhe Palace, an old eunuch with a lantern came up to him. He said that Ji Jingyu had something important to discuss with Yu Heng, and he asked Yu Heng to go to Ji Jingyu Palace.
Ji Xinxue deliberately said to Yu Heng, "I also have something to say, remember to come back."
If he didn't say this, according to Ji Jingyu's habit, he would definitely not let Yu Heng leave after the palace gate was locked.
If Yu Heng hasn't entered the palace for three days, he hasn't had a good night's sleep for three days, so he must not miss the pillow that was sent to the palace on his own initiative!
Watching Yu Heng leave with the old eunuch, Ji Xinxue continued to walk in the direction of Yuhe Palace, and saw an unexpected person at the gate of Yuhe Palace.
"Brother?"
If it hadn't been for sure that the old eunuch was Ji Jingyu's confidant, Ji Xinxue would have suspected that Yu Heng had fallen into a trap.
Ji Jingyu nodded, and said softly, "I want to talk to you, so that Fushun can call Yu Heng away first."
"It just so happens that I have something to say to brother." Ji Xinxue said with a smile.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, first tell Ji Jingyu that he is a man, and then find a chance to confess to Ji Jingrou tomorrow.
As a younger brother, he has to be level with a bowl of water.
Because she wanted to tell Ji Jingyu the secret, Ji Xinxue didn't take Ji Jingyu to the flower hall.He took Ji Jingyu to the greenhouse, and specially asked the palace servants to bring warm water.
Ji Xinxue was not worried that Ji Jingyu would be so angry that he would pour hot tea on him, but he was afraid that Ji Jingyu would be too shocked and pour hot tea on himself.
Ji Jingyu carefully looked at her younger sister who had grown up unknowingly.
In his memory, for a long time, Ji Xinxue was the thinnest among the sisters.
Coming back from the fief this time, Ji Xinxue's figure changed the most.
It's a pity that Yu Heng, who returned to Chang'an together with Ji Xinxue, has changed even more in appearance, so that Ji Jingyu has not really felt like a younger sister until now.
This made Ji Jingyu hesitate about what he wanted to say.
"What do you want to tell me?" Ji Jingyu felt that he needed to think again about how to speak.
"Brother, speak first." Ji Xinxue was afraid that she would speak first, and Ji Jingyu would not want to say anything.
The two looked at each other, and it was no surprise that the one who compromised was Ji Jingyu.
"I will beg Aye to set a wedding date for you and Feng Lang as soon as possible after the next year. Don't be in a hurry...cough cough" Before she finished speaking, Ji Jingyu's face was flushed with embarrassment, and her voice became smaller and smaller. "If you were pregnant before marriage, this child may not be recorded in the jade plate of Princess An's Mansion."
Although the title of the younger sister can also be inherited, whether it is from the perspective of the clan or the court, the title of An Guo Princess Mansion is more important.
If the younger sister only wants to have one child, it is best that this child can be safely recorded in the jade plate of Princess An's Mansion, otherwise the younger sister will have at least two.
In addition, unmarried pregnant women have to face all kinds of gossip.
Ji Jingyu really couldn't bear to see Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng have a smooth journey, but they encountered twists and turns when the good things were about to come true. Seeing that Yu Heng refused to change after repeated admonitions, he could only endure the embarrassment to remind Ji Xinxue.
Ji Xinxue had a horrified smile on his face, he didn't understand why Ji Jingyu had such...outrageous worries.
Before he had time to think about it, the words of explanation had already blurted out, "Brother, don't worry, Yu Heng and I will never have children."
Hearing this, Ji Jingyu was not relieved, but even more worried.
He grasped the robe by his side, unconsciously leaned his upper body forward, and hurriedly said, "Who has a problem with his body? What did the imperial doctor say, can he recover?"
"No!" Ji Xinxue was more anxious than Ji Jingyu, and quickly raised her trembling hands to untie the silk scarf around her neck.Because of too much force, the silk scarf was torn into two pieces.
Ji Jingyu, who was focusing all her attention on Ji Xinxue, immediately saw the Adam's apple hidden under the silk scarf.The anxiety on his face froze in an instant, and the upper body that was leaning forward pressed tightly against the back chair, and said in a hoarse voice, "What is this?"
"It's the Adam's apple, brother." Ji Xinxue took half a step forward, grabbed Ji Jingyu's hand on her lap and brought it closer to her neck, explaining seriously, "Yu Heng and I just simply slept together. That's all."
Ji Jingyu blinked his empty eyes, and let Ji Xinxue play with it like a lifeless puppet, passively feeling the obvious curvature of his Adam's apple.
After a while, Ji Jingyu raised his head and looked at Ji Xinxue carefully.
From the three-tailed phoenix hairpin on Ji Xinxue's head to the golden phoenix tail hanging between her forehead, to the graceful willow-leaf eyebrows, the shimmering phoenix eyes, the straight and delicate nose, the thin and straight lips, and the real Adam's apple, Hidden in the girdle is a slender waist that can be grasped...
Ji Jingyu understood what Ji Xinxue's words meant, but there was only one thought in her mind.
'My sister has an Adam's apple. '
His eyes followed the boots, which were not too big among girls, and returned to the original path, staying at the girdle embroidered with phoenix patterns.
Ji Xinxue endured her shame and whispered, "I..."
No, even my elder brother can't walk the bird, he can't accept it.
"Feng Lang said that you have been sleeping together every day since you were 12 years old. He deliberately pretended to be pitiful, so you agreed to him." Ji Jingyu said incoherently.
If Xiao Wu was a younger brother, not a younger sister, why didn't Feng Lang defend himself when he was misunderstood or even beaten?
Ji Xinxue counted the days, nodded lightly, and told Ji Jingyu that the two slept together because of insomnia at first, but now it has become a habit.
Hearing this, Ji Jingyu's expression became more and more complicated, and he carefully explained to Ji Xinxue how he injured Yu Heng by mistake.
Finally knowing why Ji Jingyu attacked Yu Heng, Ji Xinxue felt that he was more confused than when he didn't know the truth.
Not to mention that Yu Heng's drinking capacity is far better than him, so he won't get drunk easily.
Even if he is really drunk, Yu Heng is not in the habit of making conversation, let alone being provocative on purpose.
The Yu Heng in Ji Jingyu's mouth was like a complete stranger to him.
The two looked at each other silently for a long time before Ji Xinxue spoke again, explaining to Ji Jingyu a reasonable explanation about the matter of 'concealing the gender', and finally said, "Brother, if you don't believe me, you can ask A yeah."
Ji Jingyu nodded silently, looked at Ji Xinxue for several rounds, and then walked away with heavy steps.
Not long after, after waiting for a long time in Jijingyu Palace, Yu Heng, who finally realized that something was wrong, hurried back to Yuhe Palace, with faint sweat on his forehead.
Ji Xinxue had already changed into loose clothes that were old and not old. He leaned against the wall with his hands folded over his chest, watching Yu Heng change his clothes and wipe his face with fixed eyes.
It was only when Ji Xinxue was trying to connect the recently discovered abnormities together that the aberrant details were randomly piled up in different corners, accumulating to a shocking level.
Although every violation has a reasonable explanation, but there are so many places that need to be explained... No matter how deep his filter on Yu Heng is, he can't say that this is a normal phenomenon.
Yu Heng, do you have... unusual thoughts about him?
That's why after drinking, he provoked brother because of that kind of thing.
Care about whether he still remembers the joke when he was twelve or thirteen years old.
Perhaps Ji Jingrou's guess was right, the person who attacked the honorable children who were making noise outside the city one after another within three days was also Yu Heng.
"Brother, what did you say to you?" Yu Heng removed the hot towel from his face, and looked at Ji Xinxue inquiringly.
Ji Xinxue blinked, and said slowly, "We are not allowed to mess around and hurt ourselves before marriage."
While speaking, Ji Xinxue stared closely at Yu Heng's eyes, trying to find evidence that could confirm his suspicions.
Embarrassment appeared on Yu Heng's face, and he whispered, "I have already explained this to brother."
Ji Xinxue asked, "When?"
"The last time I was drunk." The embarrassment on Yu Heng's face became heavier, and he hesitated to tell Ji Xinxue what he said to Ji Jingyu after he was drunk.
Compared with the version that Ji Jingyu told Ji Xinxue not long ago, because Yu Heng was already drunk at the time, he spoke vaguely in many places, and he smiled wryly, "I knew that brother would say something similar to the words in the script, I'm sure I'll read it in another script."
Ji Xinxue didn't respond to Yu Heng's words, and the inquiry in her eyes didn't decrease at all.
It was like this again, whenever he felt that Yu Heng's behavior was strange, Yu Heng could always explain his behavior with a suitable reason immediately.
It was as if he felt strange in the morning that the 17-year-old Yu Heng still remembered the childish promise of "I will not marry you if you don't get married" when she was twelve or thirteen years old.Yu Heng immediately said that if he had someone he liked, their agreement would be void.
With a normal face, Yu Heng put his hand on Ji Xinxue's shoulder, pushed Ji Xinxue towards the bed, and said in a helpless tone, "Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to the princess' mansion to get the storybook. I know that the conversation between my brother and I was very similar to the dialogue in the script, and even the two punches that brother punched me were exactly the same as the plot in the script."
Ji Xinxue believes that with Yu Heng's intelligence, she will not tell lies that can be easily exposed, but she feels inexplicable unwillingness in her heart.He turned his head abruptly, "Third Sister came to the palace to look for me today, let me persuade you to restrain yourself."
"Huh?" A dark color flashed in Yu Heng's eyes. When he looked up, he saw Ji Xinxue's serious expression. He temporarily gave up the remarks he had prepared a long time ago, and said with a smile, "Even if the people in Chengyehou's mansion know, it is I who asked them to take their The scandal is spreading all over the place, and they dare not come to trouble me. It’s not that I forced Mr. Sanlang to keep the oiran as his concubine. As long as the oiran goes to make trouble, the scandal of Chengyehou’s mansion will spread throughout Chang’an sooner or later.”
"You only meddled in the affairs of the Marquis of Chengye?" Ji Xinxue looked at Yu Heng inquiringly.
Did he really think too much?
All kinds of violations collide one after another because of coincidences. Are all 'reasonable' explanations really reasonable?
"What else is there?" Yu Heng looked back at Ji Xinxue in confusion.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Ji Xinxue turned her head first, "It's okay."
Fortunately, he didn't directly ask Yu Heng if he had unusual thoughts about him.
Otherwise, I am afraid that I will have to find a seam to spend the rest of my life in order to forget the embarrassment of being passionate.
After a night without dreams until dawn, Ji Xinxue felt refreshed for a long time, and incidentally forgot the embarrassment of yesterday.
He sat up and stretched to relieve his fatigue, and said to Yu Heng with a smile, "Today we can not only see Ah Buhan Bing, but also girls from the Rong family and girls from the Zhang family."
Having said that, Ji Xinxue's eyes were full of worry, "I don't know if my brother was hit by me, and it shouldn't affect his choice of concubine?"
Judging by the reactions of his brothers and sisters, his women's clothing seems to be very successful.
Don't let Ji Jingyu have a psychological shadow, and stare at the neck first when seeing a girl.
Yu Heng raised his hand and patted Ji Xinxue's arm, and comforted him calmly, "It's okay, the queen mother gave girls from the Rong family and girls from the Zhang family a few years ago that only concubines can wear palace clothes, and they will wear palace clothes today."
Ji Xinxue was stunned for a moment before realizing what Yu Heng meant. For a moment, she didn't know whether to annoy Yu Heng to laugh at him for having no breasts, or to lament that Yu Heng knew so much about his figure that could be seen in palace clothes.
Once again, it proved that his worries yesterday were unnecessary.
Yu Heng is very straightforward.
Because it was a palace banquet on New Year's Eve, Ji Xinxue had to wear a palace dress even if she had no breasts, so he specially asked the embroiderer to prepare small shawls of various materials in advance.
Yu Heng has always dressed up faster than Ji Xinxue. He only needs to change into the county king's regular clothes after washing, tie his hair in a crown, and hang a semi-permanent golden unicorn and other accessories around his waist. A good position is waiting for Ji Xinxue to dress up.
Ji Xinxue raised her head and put on gouache, and complained in a low voice, "If I could change my clothes as quickly as you, that would be great."
"You look better than me after you finish your makeup." Yu Heng replied.
These words made Ji Xinxue straightforwardly feel the happiness that hard work will be rewarded. He raised the corners of his mouth reservedly, "I look better than you without makeup."
It's amazing to have the best looking Aye.
The two palace servants entered the door with low eyebrows, one walked towards Ji Xinxue who was closing his eyes, and the other walked towards Yu Heng holding the wooden box.
The maid who came to Ji Xinxue spoke first, "Your Majesty has an order 'let Xiao Wu dress plainly.'"
Ji Xinxue opened her eyes suddenly, "Su Jing?"
It's really embarrassing, who doesn't wear the big red and purple clothes during the New Year's festival, wishing to dress himself as an eight-treasure stand to show his status and power.
If he dared to be too vegetarian, Kai Dynasty would definitely be overwhelmed by the imperial censor's memorial.
There are at least a hundred and eighty crimes such as disrespecting the father and violating ancestral laws.
Ji Xinxue waved away the servants of Fengxiang Palace, looked at the bright and generous beauty in the bronze mirror, and said loudly, "Feng Lang, Aye, tell us to dress plainly!"
He cannot be allowed to face the impeachment of the officials alone.
Yu Heng chuckled, walked up to Ji Xinxue with the open notebook, and asked humbly, "Which color do you think is plain?
In Yuhe Palace, there are many common clothes of the county king that he has never worn, and they can be seen in almost any color.
Ji Xinxue looked towards the closet.
plain...
Red and purple are definitely not acceptable, big green looks old and is also a rich color, royal blue is never considered a plain color, and courtiers make trouble for those who cannot wear too plain.
"Raven blue?" Ji Xinxue pointed to the only dark color in the closet and said, "I remember you also have clothes of the same color, which were cut from the same fabric at the time, and you have never worn them before."
Because the crow blue color is too dull, neither he nor Yu Heng like it.
Yu Heng raised his head from the script and glanced at the closet, "I'll send someone to find out if that dress is in Yuhe Palace."
After finishing speaking, he put the story book in front of Ji Xinxue, "The story book is here. The conversation between my brother and I was here."
Ji Xinxue looked intently.
Let’s look at the content first, it’s almost completely in line with what Ji Jingyu and Yu Heng told him, it’s really outrageous.
Looking at the handwriting and binding, both can be called clean and tidy, and it is by no means a high-quality product that can be produced overnight.
He closed the story book and looked at the author's signature on the cover. Although he felt familiar, he couldn't remember where he had heard it. He thought it was a well-known author.
Ji Xinxue coughed lightly, to cover up the embarrassment of being affectionate, pointed to the place beside the bed and said, "Put it in the cabinet next to the bed, and I'll look at it when I come back tonight."
Two quarters of an hour later, Ji Xinxue finally improvised a set of clothes that were both simple and dignified without losing manners, and rushed to the place where the banquet was held together with Yu Heng.
Today's New Year's Eve feast, he only has three tasks.
Find Abuhan Bing and see how beautiful Abuhan Bing really is.
Show kindness to the girls from the Rong family and the girls from the Zhang family.Although he can't help Ji Jingyu choose a concubine, he can help the sisters and lead the girl from the Rong family and the girl from the Zhang family to say a few more words.
Find an opportunity to confess your gender to Ji Jingrou, so that when Ji Jingrou suddenly sees him in the prince's uniform tomorrow, and finds that Ji Minyan, Ji Jingyu, and Ji Mingtong are not surprised, his anger will only increase.
As for the cute little sister Ji Baoshan.
She was too young, and had almost forgotten all the repressions of the Yan Guang Dynasty.She knew about this matter, and she might not be able to control her thoughts and temper. It was really not suitable for her to know the inside story on the New Year's Eve banquet.
The palace banquet began at this hour, and courtiers and family members entered the palace one after another at Chenshi.
Emperor Changping personally went to meet Prince Qinghe, and went hand in hand with him to Anfu Palace, where palace banquets were held.
Seeing that although King Qinghe refused to go to court despite being sick all the time, his complexion was very good and he was full of energy, Emperor Changping was overjoyed, and bestowed wishful wishes to each of the juniors who had been with King Qinghe these days.
King Qinghe looked around, but he didn't see King Ling and the princesses, and asked, "Where are Huai'an and the others?"
Emperor Changping smiled, "Minyan and Jingrou have already gone to Fengzao Palace to entertain guests, Jingyu and Mingtong are at the courtiers' place, Xiaowu and Fenglang may be delayed by something, Baoshan is taking care of the youngest son."
Before he finished speaking, the seemingly absent voices outside the hall suddenly became noisy.
Emperor Changping and King Qinghe looked at the door at the same time.
It was rare for Mo Yao, who was wearing a red robe, to walk in with a golden knife in his arms. He paused for a while under the watchful eyes of Emperor Changping and Prince Qinghe, and walked slowly to Emperor Changping's side to stand still.
Today the palace is mixed with fish and dragons, he has to personally protect His Majesty.
Helplessness appeared in Emperor Changping's eyes, and he took the initiative to ask, "What's going on outside?"
Mo Yao's always calm eyes flashed almost invisible timidity very quickly, "The Queen of Qinghe County and the two eldest princesses praised Princess Anwu, and the gentlemen and girls heard the movement and came to watch the fun."
Fortunately, the clothes on his body are convenient for climbing over the wall, otherwise he would have to let the Jinwu Guard open the way to enter Anfu Palace.
The smile on the corner of Emperor Changping's mouth froze suddenly, and he was silent for a while before opening his mouth, "What praise do uncles and aunts praise him for?"
Mo Yao thought for a while, and summed up the long praise in the most concise language.
"The appearance of Luoshen."
