I was a princess in ancient times

Everyone ate the whole snake banquet in a lively manner, and dispersed separately.

The next day, Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng went to Princess Huayang's natal home.They have already agreed with Princess Huayang and Princess Huayang's cousin to stay in Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing for a few days.

Ji Xinxue politely declined Ji Mingtong's invitation, and took Yu Heng to the clan's mansion to find Prince Qinghe's son.

Hearing that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng came for Cui Qingsong, a slight smile appeared in the eyes of Prince Qinghe County.He hinted to the two that Cui Qingsong already had a 'master', and even if they could meet someone, it would be a waste of effort.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng looked at each other in blank dismay, both with the same surprise in their eyes.

Cui Qingsong was lucky to be able to fall into the eyes of Emperor Changping.

Merely Qi Yanhe and Cui Qingsong will not make Emperor Changping personally take action, the unlucky days of Grand Master Cui and Yingying are still to come.

Ji Xinxue is worried that the British official's accident will affect Yu Heng.

After leaving the clan's mansion, he used the excuse that he 'escaped' from the palace with great difficulty, and he didn't want to be arrested by Emperor Changping again in a short time, so he encouraged Yu Heng to go with him to the small towns around Chang'an that belonged to Gyeonggi.

Yu Heng never refuses Ji Xinxue's proposal, and this time is no exception.

Because Princess An's Mansion has properties everywhere, they didn't even have someone to pack their luggage.

With two fast horses and one guard, they left Chang'an before the scorching sun headed west at noon, and arrived at Zhuangzi, which is the closest to the city closest to Chang'an, to stay overnight just before dark.

Emperor Changping spent two days revising the New Deal formulated by Ji Xinxue, Yu Heng and Ji Jingyu.

He planned to ask the three of them to personally explain to their confidantes the idea of ​​drafting a new policy, and ordered Songnian to call for them.Only when he saw Ji Jingyu did Emperor Changping know that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng had run away quietly two days ago.Sensing the sudden change in Emperor Changping's mood, Songnian said in a low voice, "The princess and the county king asked the Jinwu Guard to send back some interesting things for you to relieve your boredom."

Emperor Changping subconsciously looked at Songnian's empty hand and asked, "When will they come back?"

Except for Prince Qinghe and Zhong Kan, the confidantes he called were almost all old people who had been loyal to him when they were hiding in the mansion.

Some of these people have already entered the court as officials, but some have no way to obtain official positions openly due to various reasons from their ancestors or themselves.

If the latter wants not to be forgotten by Emperor Changping, he is often better than the former.

Since Emperor Changping came to the throne, the relationship between these people has become more and more delicate, and everyone is racking their brains to outdo each other without delaying business.

The invisible swords and swords among the staff in the past are far more worth savoring than the low-level courtiers who looked at the faces of high-ranking officials in the court meeting.

Emperor Changping wanted Ji Jingyu, Ji Xinxue, and Yu Heng to explain to his staff the idea of ​​drafting the New Deal, because he wanted to personally teach the three of them how to use "extraordinary people".

Song lowered his head at the end and said in a muffled voice, "Princess asked me to tell you a maximum of two months. If you are not satisfied, he can come back earlier."

Emperor Changping suddenly raised his head to look at Ji Jingyu who was snickering, and asked with a straight face, "What are you laughing at?"

None of them worry.

The young one has been outside for a few years, and his mind has become more and more wild. Not only did he run out without saying hello, but he even dared to leave him room for bargaining.

The older one also became more and more presumptuous, and dared to laugh at him in person for his lack of dignity as a father.

Seeing Emperor Changping's cold face and serious tone, Ji Jingyu panicked subconsciously, and at the same time, what Ji Xinxue had said to him emerged in his mind.

'Look at the raccoon slave raised by the little granny, even if it steps on its paw comfortably in the bath, it will still curse like most kittens.In fact, it's not uncomfortable, it's just that raccoon slaves love beauty, and don't like being seen with their hair wet and sticking to their bodies. '

'Aye is like a cat, as long as Aye is uncomfortable and we pretend that we didn't notice that Aye's hair is not smooth, Aye will not continue to be angry. '

Thinking of when Ji Xinxue said these words to him, she was frightened on the surface, but there was a clever look on her brows, Ji Jingyu suddenly became less nervous.

Although he still can't understand how Tanuki Xinxue loves beauty through Tanuki slaves, Aye doesn't love beauty, and he comes to the conclusion that Aye is like a cat.

But he believed that Ji Xinxue had always been close to Emperor Changping and knew Emperor Changping better than him.

Ji Jingyu quietly clenched her hands and then loosened them, summoning up her courage to look up at Emperor Changping.

He still can't take the initiative to say witty words to coax Emperor Changping to show his face like his sisters, at least he won't be panicked because he 'thinks' that Emperor Changping is angry.

The father and son looked at each other for a while.

The tension that almost turned into substance in Ji Jingyu's eyes quickly eased, and turned into a calmness similar to that in Emperor Changping's eyes.

Because Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were not around, Emperor Changping could only use his precepts and deeds to his sons and daughters in the plan to become counselors pointing Ji Jingyu.

The tax reform policy proposed by Ji Xinxue, Yu Heng, and Ji Jingyu is very good, and the flaws left by lack of experience and not sophisticated ideas are also obvious.

In two days, Emperor Changping only changed the two most controversial places that were likely to cause disputes among all parties.Other details, large and small, were changed by the person who received the secret edict today.

These puppets can have a name in front of Emperor Changping, so naturally they will not lack real talents.

It's just that they are doomed not to be pure because of their pursuit of fame and fortune, and competition for the emperor's favor.

In their eyes, the opportunity to show off to the eldest son of the emperor is also a scarce bargaining chip that they must fight for.

Poor Ji Jingyu was surrounded by counselors, like a fat sheep falling into a pack of wolves.

At the beginning, the counselors also called it 'Wen Dou'. They tried their best to find more loopholes in the New Deal, and proposed solutions to this problem, showing their abilities.

As the undiscovered flaws become fewer and fewer until they disappear completely, the counselors can only focus on the flaws found by others, and they have exactly the same idea by coincidence.

Although someone has found this flaw and proposed a solution to the problem, King Ling has not yet adopted that person's solution.He can provide better and better solutions to King Ling, so that King Ling can remember him.

The aides are very intense, and often when someone just pauses to think, the person who has been waiting for a long time will take over the conversation, first pretending to praise what the former said, and then change the subject and start "but '.

Some people with eclectic methods will also sort out the elders of a hundred schools of thought on the spot as their own ideas.

Ji Jingyu really couldn't keep up with the train of thought of the staff, so he could only temporarily abandon thinking, and carefully memorized every word the staff said in his heart, so that he could think about it slowly when he was free.

Emperor Changping relaxed on the back of the chair, looked at the eldest son with a smile on his face, and hinted that Songnian would bring the gadgets that Ji Xinxue ordered Jin Wuwei to send back to pass the time.

The next day, when some people wanted to repeat the same trick to 'steal' other people's ideas, Ji Jingyu quietly ignored these people, not giving them a chance to mess around.

Emperor Changping was both happy and helpless when he discovered Ji Jingyu's progress.

Among his children, those who have not yet shown their character are not counted for the time being.

In terms of intelligence, no one can match Ji Xinxue.

In terms of diligence, no one can match Ji Jingyu.

With Ji Xinxue's intelligence, nine times out of ten, she would find something abnormal when the staff members just started talking about each other and competing for credit.

Ji Jingyu's change of attitude overnight must be because after leaving Fengxiang Palace yesterday, he carefully recalled the process of talking with his staff, which is enough to show his diligence.

It's a pity...as the eldest son, it's too 'empathetic'.

Emperor Changping suppressed the sigh at the corner of his mouth, and remembered Ji Jingyu's various reactions in his heart.

When the crisp bell rang, the staff subconsciously looked in the direction of the bell.

It's time for them to leave.

Emperor Changping left Ji Jingyu alone, and said firmly, "You don't like Li Sha and Liu Bai."

Every time these two people talk, Ji Jingyu will interrupt them calmly, and then look at others, not giving them a chance to speak.

Ji Jingyu nodded honestly, he would never lie to Emperor Changping.

Emperor Changping didn't intend to teach Ji Jingyu that being usable and liking it are two different things, and Li Sha and Liu Bai are not qualified to make Ji Jingyu go against their preferences.

He asked calmly, "Why don't you deal with them."

Ji Jingyu said seriously, "They are Aye's confidantes."

Emperor Changping's tense shoulders and neck gradually relaxed.

Without asking specifically, he can be sure that Ji Jingyu's idea comes from Queen Wang.

Emperor Changping scoffed at the respectable theory of cats and dogs around his elders, but he was not in a bad mood at this time.

Wrong thoughts can be corrected with time and energy, but natural dispositions are extremely difficult to change.

He asked Ji Jingyu to sit beside him, patiently erasing the traces left by Queen Wang on Ji Jingyu's body.

In the past five days, under the guidance of Emperor Changping, Ji Jingyu has made rapid progress, gradually changing from being led by the nose by the staff to being able to make the staff think in the direction he wants with just a few words.

The new policy of tax reform was completely perfected, and the people whom Emperor Changping had been waiting for also entered the palace hand in hand.

Duke Ying and Grand Master Cui tried their best to deal with Qi Yanhe's affairs, but they still failed to be completely indifferent to all kinds of news coming out of the clan's mansion.

They came to beg Emperor Changping to let Cui Qingsong and Qi Yanhe leave the clan mansion. For this reason, they were willing to compensate Princess Jinming as Patriarchs of the Qi family and Patriarch of the Cui family, and even made concessions to the clan.

Emperor Changping held up the teacup to cover the sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Family Patriarch?

Now, apart from the Yu family, which aristocratic family has the qualifications to negotiate with the clan.

"It's just two juniors, so it's worth your trouble?" Emperor Changping asked casually.

Taishi Cui and Duke Ying knelt down side by side, and kept silent about the younger generation, only saying that they did not want Cui and Qi to be criticized like Kang, Chen and Zheng.

They even suggested that Emperor Changping execute Cui Qingsong and Qi Yanhe privately, as long as the common people don't know that they were charged with disrespect.

When Emperor Changping heard the words, he let out a chuckle, and waved his hands tolerantly, "It won't happen."

He said to the two with great interest, "I heard that the aristocratic family has many records about the former royal family. I don't know if it is true or not?"

The two old men were able to give up their old faces for Qi Yanhe, and ran to Fengxiang Palace to sing a big show.

Shouting things out, taking retreat as an advance...they wouldn't dare to accept his tricks?

Cui Taishi and Yinggong not only dared to take over, but also dared to involve the Yu family who had been reclusive for many years.They claim that since the establishment of the Yu Dynasty, the Yu family has experienced the least turmoil and preserved the most ancestral relics.

Emperor Changping nodded, and followed the words of Taishi Cui and Duke Ying to ask about the Yu family, and exchanged clichés with the two of them calmly.

Taishi Cui and the British official carefully tested how much Emperor Changping knew about the Yu family.It hints at Emperor Changping that when the Yu family was in the south of the Yangtze River, they not only had personal relationships with the Bai family, which seemed like fire and water on the surface, but also had contacts with more than half of the convicted officials.

Emperor Changping didn't need to bother, he could see why Grand Master Cui and Duke Ying suddenly mentioned the Yu family.

He casually perfunctory Cui Taishi and Yinggong, leading them to say more things they didn't want to say in order to achieve their goals.

After a long time, Taishi Cui and Ying Yinggong realized that something was wrong, and calmly brought the topic back to Cui Qingsong and Qi Yanhe.

They asked Emperor Changping to release Cui Qingsong and Qi Yanhe from the clan mansion as soon as possible, and Cui and Qi were willing to pay any price for this.

If Emperor Changping really didn't want to let them go, they hoped that Emperor Changping would kill the two quietly to vent his anger on Princess Jinming. For the sake of Cui Shi and Qi Shi being veterans of the Yu Dynasty, they would not announce the cause of Cui Qingsong and Qi Yanhe's death.

Emperor Changping's eyes swept across the booklet at hand, and the smile on his face suddenly became real.

As an emperor who is filial to his father, friendly to his brothers, and kind to veterans.

How could he kill the direct descendants of the old official's family or make the old official pay 'any' price because his daughter was wronged a little?

"How long have they been in the clan mansion?" Emperor Changping asked.

As soon as Song Nian opened his mouth, the British Duke took the lead.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it has been 24 days since the seventh day of the first month."

"24 days..." Emperor Changping pondered for a moment, then said with a smile, "Since Ji Mingtong is fine, we can lock them up for another six days. I will go to my aunt in person later to intercede for them."

Duke Ying and Grand Master Cui would suddenly enter the palace to beg Emperor Changping to release them under the pretext of family glory, because they heard that the prince of Qinghe County was very strict with Cui Qingsong and Qi Yanhe.

Prince Qinghe not only did not give Cui Qingsong and Qi Yanhe the soft food sent by Taishi Mansion and Guogong Mansion, but also asked them to clean the toilets of the Zongren Mansion like prisoners in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Even Grand Master Cui, who didn't care much about Cui Qingsong, almost fainted when he first heard the news.It was not because he was worried that Cui Qingsong would be dizzy, but because he was dizzy from anger.

Taishi Cui felt that the prince of Qinghe County allowed Cui's wife to get close to filthy things, which was no different from blatantly humiliating Cui's family.

Even if it was only half an hour later, there was new news from the clan's mansion.Although the prince of Qinghe County asked Qi Yanhe and Cui Qingsong to clean the toilet, but for the sake of his family background, he did not force them to do it themselves and face the toilet directly, but only asked them to observe how the young servant cleaned the toilet.It can't change the mood of Cui Taishi and British Duke.

Ying Yingzheng was so pissed off by Princess Yiyun and Mrs. Zheng, she couldn't imagine what kind of crazy ideas Mrs. Zheng would have when she knew that Qi Yanhe was cleaning the toilet in the clan's mansion.He even had the dangerous thought of taking the risk and poisoning Zheng Shi first.

Sitting quietly in the study all night, the British Duke finally gave up this crazy idea.

Cui Taishi and the British Duke reached a unified opinion after a long absence.

Cui Qingsong and Qi Yanhe can no longer be allowed to stay in the clan mansion.

The Duke of England promised to compensate Cui for all his losses, so Grand Master Cui agreed to go to the palace together to beg Changping Emperor for mercy.

Hearing that Emperor Changping easily promised them that Qi Yanhe and Cui Qingsong would be let go in six days, Duke Ying and Taishi Cui were shocked.

so easy?

Before entering the palace, they had already made preparations for the Changping Emperor's Lions to open their mouths, which would cause their vitality to be seriously injured.For this reason, they specially prepared another plan.

If Emperor Changping's request was too much, they would intentionally provoke Emperor Changping and try to make Emperor Changping deal with Cui Qingsong and Qi Yanhe quietly.

The British Guild immediately poisoned Mrs. Zheng before the news spread, and then told the remnants of the previous dynasty far away in Turkic that Qi Yanhe was executed by Emperor Changping because he said something that should not be said in the clan mansion.

He was afraid that Mrs. Zheng would expose her identity because of Qi Yanhe, so he had no choice but to execute Mrs. Zheng.

It is difficult for the British Duke to say whether Emperor Changping's tolerance at this time is what he wants to see.He kowtowed to thank Grand Master Cui beside him with complicated emotions, and left Fengxiang Palace with flamboyant steps.

When the limelight passes and no one pays attention to Qi Yanhe, he will definitely send the troublemakers from Sanfang far away.

The British Duke, who was temporarily relieved, never imagined that the next six days would be the longest six days he had experienced in most of his life.

Is it more than just living a life like a year?

Even if there are nine princes as grandchildren, Concubine Su's favorite people are still Emperor Changping, Ji Xinxue and Ji Mingtong.

It was rare for Emperor Changping to beg her, and it was to vent his anger on Ji Mingtong. Concubine Su happily changed into a concubine's dress, and rushed to the clan's mansion with the palace servants of Tranquility.

She has been struggling in Emperor Yanguang's harem for many years, what appalling means of torture has she never seen?Only the Empress Dowager Su would still regard her as a naive little lady.

Concubine Su followed Emperor Changping's request to torture Qi Yanhe in a way that would cause pain but would not leave any root or wound.

Although Cui Qingsong did not really enjoy the same treatment as Qi Yanhe, he was no less frightened than Qi Yanhe.It's just that the pretentious howling became more and more dramatic, which attracted Taifei Su, who was holding the raccoon slave, to take a few more glances.

This is the most unbearable punishment Qi Yanhe has encountered after being imprisoned in the clan mansion for so long.

Even when they were punished by Prince Qinghe County for cleaning the toilet, Qi Yanhe and Cui Qingsong just stood at the farthest distance from the toilet, weeping in grievance.

At this moment, in the unbearable torture, for the first time in his life, Qi Yanhe felt that death was very close to him, and then he felt unspeakable fear.

As the unpleasant smell of urine and feces gradually spread down Qi Yanhe's waist, Qi Yanhe's emotions completely collapsed, and he suddenly opened the jailer who was holding him, and shouted A Niang, Aye, grandfather, and grandmother.

Cui Qingsong clenched his fists, hiding the deep hatred in his eyes.

The moment he threw himself on Qi Yanhe, Cui Qingsong just pretended to collapse, and his emotions really collapsed, crying no less than Qi Yanhe.

"I really didn't want to harm Princess Jinming, I dare not! Why don't you believe me? Please, let me go home!" Cui Qingsong was almost fainted by the smell all over his body, and shouted hoarsely, "It's Kange! Kang Ge threatened me that I owed him 700 taels of silver. If I don't help him, he will tell me about it, Aye."

The emotional cry not only aroused Qi Yanhe's sympathy, but the well-organized words also just reminded Qi Yanhe why they were tortured by Concubine Su.

Princess Jinming!

Qi Yanhe, who was emotionally broken, no longer had any rationality to speak of, only the increasingly clear 'run away! 'Two words.

Under the guidance of Cui Qingsong, he said without thinking, "Grandfather said that Kang Ge is promising and will become a great weapon in the future, so let me not ignore him, so..."

Speaking of this, Qi Yanhe felt that the suffering he had suffered these days was all because of the British Duke who loved him the most on weekdays, and his voice became more and more aggrieved, "If it wasn't for my grandfather's confession, I wouldn't take care of Kangge!"

Emperor Changping promised Yingying Gong and Cui Taishi that when Guan Qi Yanhe and Cui Qingsong would be released in six days, he was grateful for the kindness of Yingying Gong and Cui Taishi, and specially allowed them to visit Qi Yanhe and Cui Qingsong in the clan mansion.It's a pity that the two of them came by accident, just half a step behind Concubine Su.

The Crown Prince of Qinghe County told them that Concubine Su was in a bad mood, and that if she was disturbed by them, she might become even more angry, so she waited outside the door with them.

When Qi Yanhe first started crying, Yinggong and Grand Master Cui just frowned.

Smelling the stench wafting through the crack of the door, Duke Ying and Grand Master Cui held their noses and backed away, with horror and disbelief in their eyes.

Qi Yanhe?

Cui Qingsong?

Why did His Majesty agree to let them go?How nice to deal with these two scourges quietly!

The same thought flashed through their minds.

Qi Yanhe's behavior of pushing the blame on Duke Ying without hesitation made Duke Ying and Grand Master Cui's thoughts even stronger, and even wanted to rush in to solve the evil in person.

Fortunately, although Prince Qinghe ran away at the first moment when he noticed something was wrong, Huo Yu remained steadfast in the stench, promptly reminding Grand Master Cui and Duke Ying who wanted to break in to stop Qi Yanhe's 'nonsense'.

Duke Ying and Grand Master Cui tried their best but failed to shake Huo Yu, so they could only crane their necks to listen to the voice from the door, thinking quickly about how to describe what Qi Yanhe had missed.

Listening to Su Xian's calm and disgusted question and Cui Qingsong and Qi Yanhe's choked-up answers, they almost couldn't hold back their temper and fought with each other first.

Grand Master Cui felt that the British government raised such an idiot as Qi Yanhe, and there were no bones that deserved to be implicated, so why should they implicate the Cui family and other aristocratic families?

Ying Gong had been patient with Grand Master Cui for a long time, and recently, because of Qi Yanhe, he frequently begged Grand Master Cui in a lowly manner. When his self-esteem was most sensitive, he turned into anger and glared at Grand Master Cui viciously.

It is clear that Cui's husband has a problem.

He can guide Qi Yanhe to say even more stupid things just right every time, but he doesn't even know to shut up!

Cui also has such an idiot, Grand Master Cui still has the face to accuse him?

joke!

Just as Taishi Cui and Yingying became more and more emotional, and could not bear the urge to do something, the closed door suddenly opened, and a strong and strange smell spread over the sky.

Not to mention that it was because Ying Gong and Taishi Cui, who were sulking and having difficulty breathing, even Huo Yu, who had always been expressionless, instantly became distorted.

Concubine Su with a frosty face stopped in front of Taishi Cui and Duke Ying, and said coldly, "Why are they here! Didn't Your Majesty say that they will be released in six days?"

Huo Yu replied respectfully, "Your Majesty has authorized Grand Master Cui and British Duke to visit Cui Qingsong and Qi Yanhe."

Concubine Su snorted coldly, "The sinner has a new confession, so it's inconvenient to meet outsiders. Your Majesty, I'm the one to speak and take them away."

Taishi Cui and Yingying were dazzled by the diamonds on Concubine Su's hair accessories, and it was difficult not to see the phoenix hairpin that only queens and queen mothers can wear.

Thinking of Concubine Su's position in the hearts of Emperor Changping's mother and son, Taishi Cui and Duke Ying barely suppressed the lingering anger in their chests, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thanks to His Majesty's kindness, I can only come to visit the unworthy descendants. Please be sympathetic to the embarrassment of the old minister. Calf love."

Concubine Su didn't even look at the two old men, she took out two small tokens from her sleeve pocket and showed them to Huo Yu, and said in a deep voice, "Throw them out, and then go report to sister, I want to be in the clan The government is interrogating criminals, and they have not returned to the palace for a few days."

Duke Ying and Grand Master Cui caught a glimpse of the token, and their expressions changed drastically.

Not only the token of Empress Dowager Su, but also the token of Emperor Changping!

Before they could utter a complete sentence, Huo Yu had already grabbed them and strode towards the outside of the clan mansion.

"Damn it!" The British Duke looked at the plaque of the Clan Mansion, tightly grasping the long sword at his side,

For a while, I didn't know whether it was more anger or more fear.

Su Xian, that bitch, clearly made up her mind to find something out of him from the two idiots.

Although Qi Yanhe never knew the secrets of the Zheng family, but...if he was not careful, the whole family would be implicated, how could he not be worried?

Taishi Cui leaned against Jianfu while covering his chest, silently waiting for the rumble in his chest to stop.

Qi Yanhe, Zheng Shi, Qi Shi, British Duke...

The more names there were in his mind, the faster Taishi Cui's heart beat, and suddenly his eyes were closed tightly, and he completely lost consciousness.

The next day, the Great Court Meeting.

Emperor Changping, who had always been calm, was rarely overjoyed, and proposed to implement a new deal.

The courtiers all used the reason that Emperor Changping had just implemented the New Deal in the second year of Changping, and some extremely remote places had not had time to implement the New Deal in the second year of Changping as an excuse.It is said that there will be a new policy in a short period of time, it is suspected that the order will be changed overnight, and it is very likely to cause the people to panic, so I advise Emperor Changping not to act too hastily.

Emperor Changping pondered for a long while, reluctantly retreated, and proposed to implement the New Deal temporarily only in the southern part of Gyeonggi and Guannei Province, and the northern part of Shannan East and West Provinces.

The courtiers still shook their heads. Even though these places were the first areas to implement the New Deal in the second year of Changping, there was no guarantee that the New Deal had been fully applied.

The new and old sets of decrees are gradually transitioning, and it will take three to five years for them to be completely stabilized.

If a new order is issued at the time when the old and the new are changing, let alone the common people, the officials of the county government or the government government may not be able to guarantee that they will never make mistakes.

Emperor Changping was rejected by courtiers one after another, and his face became more and more ugly.

When he played the Guozijian examination at the Guozijian sacrificial wine, he got up suddenly and strode away from the court hall, because the pen holder with his wide sleeves on the ground seemed to have a sense of presence in the sudden silence.

Song Nian, who never made mistakes, was rarely stunned on such an important occasion as the Great Court Meeting, and his pace was not as calm as before.He hastily yelled to retreat, and immediately chased in the direction where Emperor Changping left.

The courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, their brows filled with surprise.

If they had known that His Majesty would have such a big temper, they should have used more tactful words when they advised them just now.

The moment Emperor Changping stepped into the study, his tense face immediately eased, and there was even a faint smile on his face.

He asked Mo Yao who was in front of the case, "How is it?"

"Grand Master Cui and British Duke both sent people to watch outside the clan mansion, and even asked the family members of the clan to try to lure the concubine out of the clan mansion. The head of the Zheng family..." Mo Yao will be in order from yesterday to today , all the small actions the family made, told Emperor Changping in detail.

Emperor Changping nodded and confessed, "Tell Xuanwei, and tell Princess Yiyun about the ugly behavior of Qi Yanhe and Cui Qingsong yesterday."

Mo Yao nodded, seeing that Emperor Changping had no other orders, he immediately turned to look for Xuanwei.

Emperor Changping looked at the fading light spots on the ground, and raised his hand to touch the folder in his sleeve pocket.

Within three days, Duke Ying and Grand Master Cui will come to beg him again for Qi Yanhe.

At the same time, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were visiting the market in Huazhou.

This was the second city they passed through from Chang'an in a hurry.

Compared with the previous city, Huazhou is much more prosperous. Walking on the road in the afterglow of the setting sun, there is a strong fragrance in the nostrils.Every two streets, there will be alleys with stalls.From the outer city to the inner city, the things on the stalls are getting more and more gorgeous.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng changed into low-key clothes, and started shopping along the outer city stalls that only had hair ropes and red and white coarse cloth.

Although from their point of view, they don't like the things on the stalls in the outer city at all.However, the two of them still walked past each booth with great interest, and did not hurry to the inner city because of this.

During this period, Ji Xinxue bought a wooden hairpin with ordinary carving and common wood, but it was particularly suitable for his eyes.Two bolts of green cloth that are not dense enough, but the color is refreshing.The two cloth tigers, whose embroidery and materials are eye-catching, have an extremely cute demeanor...

Compared to Ji Xinxue who only buys things that are pleasing to the eye, Yu Heng's "sweeping" has almost no rules.

The stall owner who sells bamboo bowls and chopsticks looks like Yu Heng's book boy Qingzhu, buy it and give it to Qingzhu when you go back.

There is a long life lock in the brass jewelry booth. The pattern on it matches Ji Mingtong's zodiac sign. Buy it and give it to Ji Cheng when you go back.

Among the stalls selling purses and cloth heads, there was a piece of cloth head in color, which looked like the navy blue dress Ji Xinxue wore during the New Year’s Eve palace banquet. Buy it and keep it as a souvenir when you go back.

……

When they officially entered the inner city, the servants around Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng had already changed three times.

Smelling the scent in the air, Ji Xinxue wanted to eat even though she wasn't hungry, so she suggested, "Let's eat first?"

Yu Heng shook his head, grabbed Ji Xinxue's shoulders and continued to walk towards the stall, "We'll eat after we finish shopping at these stalls."

Recently, Ji Xinxue has been having difficulty restraining her appetite, and Yu Heng is worried that Ji Xinxue will accumulate food.

Because she was thinking about eating, although the food at the stalls in the inner city was much more refined than the ones in the outer city, and the variety and variety became more abundant, Ji Xinxue lost her previous interest.

Seeing this, Yu Heng had no choice but to take Ji Xinxue to find a stall selling snacks first.

Turning a corner, I happened to see a stall selling fried beans.

It can satisfy your cravings, and can be eaten as a snack without taking up space.

"Come, come, come! Take a look! The newly arrived Fortune Stone, as long as you have five copper coins, you have the chance to become a rich man!"

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, who were waiting for the fried beans to come out of the pan, followed the voice and saw only the back of their heads.

Ji Xinxue glanced at Luo Zhong, who was near the crowd and was being protected by seven or eight guards with knives, and asked the stall owner curiously, "What is that?"

Although Huazhou is more prosperous than other places.But at this time, the people living in the surrounding villages have almost left the city, the county government has almost time to get off duty, and restaurants and other places with good business near night have already started preparing dishes to welcome guests... There will be so many people Surrounded here, Ji Xinxue was very surprised.

Casino?

A wealthy man will never be a brothel.

The owner of the stall is a chubby young woman who looks a little rich. With the aesthetics of this era, she is worthy of the reputation of "Fried Bean Shih Tzu".

Just keep 'Fried Bean Shih Tzu' open.

Otherwise, it will change into 'Fried Beans Li Kui' in seconds.

"That's Yujinlou, a place that sells gold and silver jewelry, and stones with jade in them." The stall owner replied heartily, not minding the voice that didn't match his appearance at all, and even raised his head proudly.

"Elder Sister, have you ever learned boxing skills? Your hands are really steady." Ji Xinxue praised.

Although frying beans for a long time can also make the hand stable, it will not be so stable that it will not shake when holding a large iron pan that can hold three or five kittens.

If the stall owner likes Ji Xinxue, he puts the beans into the frying pan with a bold and unrestrained posture, "Sister is really discerning. I think you and your brother-in-law also have kung fu. If you want to learn from each other, you can go to Tanghulu Lane in the north of the city. That's my master, Liu General! There are also many of my senior brothers and sisters."

After hearing what the stall owner said, Ji Xinxue subconsciously raised her head to look at Yu Heng.

Yu Heng stared blankly at the only meat and vegetables on the stall, his eyes full of longing.It seems that the wolf has been hungry for three days and three nights, and it is hard to find food that can fill its stomach.

...It seems that he is indeed the one who is delusional.

In the past, when he met people who didn't know the truth and teased him and Yu Heng, he was never embarrassed, and he never felt that Yu Heng would react to such words.But now, he would look at Yu Heng's expression before clearing up the complicated thoughts that suddenly appeared in his mind.

However, Yu Heng only has meat in his eyes, not him.

Another day of self-indulgence.

"If you want to eat, let the elder sister fry it." Ji Xinxue waved her hand proudly, pointing at the ribs that carried Yu Heng's gaze, her tone was inexplicably fierce, "It's all fried, let's eat slowly."

"Okay!" The stall owner responded cheerfully, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more enthusiastic.

Because of Ji Xinxue's natural and generous attitude, the stall owner was willing to chat with Ji Xinxue for a while, and asked them if they were foreigners.

Ji Xinxue admitted generously, "Our family is in Chang'an, and we have to go out to play recently."

The stall owner gave a thumbs up and praised from the bottom of his heart, "No wonder he is full of luxury, so he is from the capital."

Ji Xinxue looked down at the clothes on him and Yu Heng.

Almost all of his body was silver jewelry with pearls, and on his finger was a gold ring with rubies.Although the gauze scarf around the neck is not made of expensive materials, there are large and small white pearls hanging on it.

Yu Heng's head was only tied with a cloth belt of the same color as his clothes, and the golden unicorn around his waist changed from palm length to finger length.

Dressing up in gold and silver in this way is indeed 'extravagant' in the eyes of ordinary people.

The eldest sister is really good at boasting!

Ji Xinxue reciprocated, from the aroma of the eldest sister's fried beans and pork ribs, to the eldest sister's strong figure and martial arts, to...

no more.

Because of Yu Heng's sudden eye pain, Ji Xinxue was busy blowing Yu Heng's eyes, and had no time to chat with the stall owner.
