I was a princess in ancient times

If Qi Boxuan really loved Yu Yu as much as he said, at least he wouldn't refuse to return to Chang'an on the grounds that he couldn't face Yu Yu's death.In the correspondence with Chang'an, Bian frequently mentioned Yu Yu's death.

Thinking of Qi Boxuan's ten years in the south of the Yangtze River, and even taking five concubines "with the charm of a beloved wife", Yu Heng's heart, which was not touched by the cries of the British government, suddenly became more cold.

"God is so merciless, he insisted on taking Yu'er away, and even took most of Liulang's soul away." The British lady's crying gradually became hoarse, "If Dalang and Saburo hadn't discovered something was wrong back then, Liulang would have almost..."

The normally decent and elegant British princess suddenly broke down emotionally, buried her head on Zheng's shoulder and wept.

Mrs. Zheng received the hint from the British princess, and immediately took over the quarrel, "Don't worry, Madam, as long as no one mentions younger siblings in front of him, the sixth brother will definitely not be there again... maybe in another ten years, the sixth brother will be able to completely let go of it." , take the initiative to return to your side as a filial piety."

She seemed to be comforting the British princess, but in fact every word was beating Yu Heng.

Whoever makes Qi Baixuan think of Yu Yu when he returns to Chang'an will be the culprit who killed Qi Baixuan.

Yu Heng always maintained the posture of bending over and supporting the low table, covering his mouth and coughing from time to time, not giving the British government any chance to spy on his expression.

The more people in the British government rejected Qi Boxuan's return to Chang'an, the more he wanted to know the real reason why Qi Boxuan hadn't returned to Chang'an for ten years.

After a long time without getting any response from Yu Heng, the British princess and Mrs. Zheng tacitly calmed down, secretly saying that it was a pity.

When they received the invitation from Princess Anguo's Mansion yesterday, they thought that Yu Heng had experienced life and death in northern Xinjiang and finally realized the importance of his clan.

As long as they grasp Yu Heng's rare weakness, they can take advantage of Yu Heng's power for profit.

Unexpectedly, the lively atmosphere finally became lively, all because Yu Heng suddenly mentioned Qi Baixuan, and now there is no room for 'gossip'.

Forget it, as long as Yu Heng's attitude softens, sooner or later he will find another chance...

"The king of the county!"

The sudden violence interrupted the thoughts of the Duke and Duchess of England and Mrs. Zheng. They subconsciously raised their heads and saw Yu Heng's eyes closed tightly, and he fell limply into Lin Zhao's arms.

Hearing the hurried footsteps behind him, Lin Zhao turned his head abruptly, and stared at the British Duke who was the closest to him and Yu Heng with scarlet eyes, unexpectedly making the British Duke's movements hesitant just by his aura.

When the British Duke came back from the brief stupor and anger appeared in his eyes, the Jinwu Guard guarding the door had already heard the sound and blocked him and Yu Heng like a solid city wall.

"Get out of the way!" the British Duke roared in a deep voice.

He is Feng Lang's grandfather.

Feng Lang suddenly fainted, he should be the one standing by Feng Lang's side!

Lin Zhao lowered his eyelids to block the sarcasm inside, grabbed Yu Heng's wrist and carefully judged the pulse.

The pulse is gentle, neither floating nor sinking.

After only two days of recuperation, he was much more stable than when he first returned to Chang'an.

Seeing that Yu Heng didn't get angry because of the people from the British government, the anger in Lin Zhao's heart immediately dissipated.The shock and anger on his face became more and more obvious, and he roared, "Hurry up and ask the imperial doctor with the post from the county king!"

After speaking, Lin Zhao followed Yu Heng's suddenly tense wrist and looked at his palm, gently opened his curled fingers, and picked up the silk handkerchief from his palm.

Following his movements, the blood color in the plain white center was unobstructed in everyone's eyes.

Sensing Lin Zhao's gaze, Qingzhu in the crowd grabbed Zizhu's sleeve and quietly exited the flower hall.

"The king of the county was coughed up blood by the anger of the British government, and passed out!"

Ji Xinxue almost swore to the sky, and finally convinced the sisters that he really didn't know about Ji Jingyu and Xiao Ning from Yu Heng in advance.

Because she was thinking about leaving the palace to find Yu Heng, Ji Xinxue returned to Yuhe Palace exhausted, and immediately began to process the paperwork.But anything that is not the most important thing is put into the wooden box to be processed first, and only the documents recording the important things are approved.

"Your Highness!"

Before Ji Xinxue could respond, Qingyun opened the door and entered the study, "People from the British government made a big disturbance at Princess An's residence, and the prince was so angry that he coughed up blood and fell into a coma."

The astonishment on Ji Xinxue's face turned into bewilderment.

Making a big fuss at Princess Anguo's mansion?

Not only did they dare to bully Yu Heng, they even intensified and blocked Yu Heng at home to bully him!

Ji Xinxue closed the document that was about to be approved and threw it back on the table, and walked to the door in the blink of an eye, "Send the uncategorized documents to Fengxiang Palace."

Before the words were finished, only the scorching sun and the clear clouds frightened by Ji Xinxue's aura remained in the study.

The cold wind blowing impartially on her face brought Qingyun back to her senses. She remembered Ji Xinxue's order before she left, and subconsciously turned around and walked to the desk.The moment he touched the document, he immediately withdrew his hand and hurried back to the door, letting the palace servants waiting in the wing room to look for the Jin Wuwei.

Yuhe Palace has always had clear responsibilities.

People who usually take care of Ji Xinxue's daily life cannot touch the documents without Ji Xinxue and Jin Wuwei's presence.

Seeing the tall and straight Jinwu Guard from a distance, Qingyun heaved a long sigh of relief.

Many people in the court were afraid of His Highness, so it was not surprising that she was intimidated by His Highness's aura.

When Ji Xinxue rode her horse and arrived at Princess Anguo's Mansion, she happened to see the left guard of the Princess Mansion holding brooms, shovels, crutches... and even dishonorable things like Caidun. who were thrown out the gate.

He tightened the reins, and the first thing he saw was the British duke with a flushed face, then the British duchess with a sweet mouth and a sword, and the British duchess who seemed to be protecting the British duchess on the surface, but actually secretly used the British duchess as a shield, and quietly went to the British duchess Zheng Shi hiding behind.

It's from the British government.

At the same time, the former prince of the United Kingdom and Princess Yiyun, who stood far away from the hustle and bustle, also noticed Ji Xinxue's existence.

The original British prince had just walked half a step towards Ji Xinxue when Princess Yiyun grabbed his arm, "Don't provoke him, I, Aye and the princess will be angry."

Relying on her tall stature, Zizhu quickly passed through the people who were still entangled in front of the gate of Princess An's Mansion, and ran to Ji Xinxue's side.

He held up the neatly folded letter paper and said in a low voice, "Emperor Zhu has already checked the pulse of the Duke, and said that the Duke was coughing up blood and passed out because of his anger and lung injury. This is a new prescription prescribed by Doctor Zhu for the Duke." son."

Ji Xinxue immediately thought of several medicinal herbs that have miraculous effects on coughs but are rare.

When rewarding the Hebei Army, Emperor Changping rewarded many rare medicinal materials, and General Xiaoqi once got... Not only did the letter paper not contain any medicinal materials guessed by Ji Xinxue, there was even no handwriting.

Only the big rooster with head held high and the handkerchief falling from the sky are Yu Heng's painting style.

The Duke and Duchess of England were forced back again and again by the left guard of Princess Anguo's mansion, and it was only with firm will that she could hold back the increasingly intense sense of suffocation.

She was not only worried about Yu Heng's situation, but also angry that Lin Zhao and the left guard of Princess An's mansion offended her, and she was even more afraid that today's incident would spread and make the British government a laughing stock in Chang'an.

Several emotions surged wantonly in the bottom of her heart, making her already sick body even weaker, and she frequently supported her legs to pant for breath.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly spotted Ji Xinxue not far away. The British lady's almost exhausted body burst out with unprecedented potential, and ran towards Ji Xinxue at a speed that did not match her age.

"Your Highness! Lin Zhao took advantage of Feng Lang's coma to control the Princess Mansion, slandering..."

Ji Xinxue raised her eyelids, staring at the fallen British princess from above.

Only the stick figure can make Ji Xinxue temporarily put down her worries about Yu Heng, but it will not reduce her anger towards the British government.

Yu Heng did not cough up blood and pass out due to the popularity of the British government as rumored.

These people forced Yu Heng to get rid of them by pretending to be stupefied.

In Ji Xinxue's eyes, no matter what the cause and effect is, it is because the British government bullied Yu Heng too much.

He casually ordered the Jinwu guard beside him, "The British princess has suffered from hysteria, and an imperial physician will be assigned to treat her. Tell the imperial physician first, it is hysteria."

After finishing speaking, Ji Xinxue immediately turned the horse's head and followed the welcoming left guard to the side door of the princess mansion, not giving the people of the British government any chance to pester him.

When the sun was about to set, Song Nian went to Princess Anguo's mansion to visit Yu Heng.

Passed down the oral order of Emperor Changping.

Order the British Duke and others who are still guarding the gate of An Guo Princess's Mansion to leave immediately, and pray for Yu Heng at the British Mansion with peace of mind before Yu Heng recovers from his injuries.

He was meaningfully fair to Britain, "Your Majesty regards the county king as a parent and loves him, and he doesn't want anyone to make the county king feel wronged."

Hearing the words, the British public can only continue the tone of the British princess, insisting that the farce started because of Lin Zhao.

He told Songnian that Yu Heng suddenly fainted because he suddenly knew about the past between Qi Baixuan and Yu Yu, and was overly emotional and then hurt his injuries.

After Yu Heng passed out, Lin Zhao deliberately expelled Yu Heng's relatives in a slanderous way. He wanted to control Yu Heng and Princess An's mansion, and his wolf ambition was clearly revealed.

Song Nian carefully kept Yingying Gong's words in his heart, and promised Yingying Gong that he would relay these words to Emperor Changping.

The next day, Ji Xinxue got up early and returned to the palace to participate in the small court meeting, and asked the Minister of the Ministry of Officials as if chatting, if the governor who has served for more than five years has not made any achievements, is it considered dereliction of duty?

Two days later, a pale-faced Yu Heng appeared at the Dachao Assembly, and publicly asked Emperor Changping to allow Qi Baixuan, who had been serving abroad for ten years, to return to Chang'an.

Ji Xinxue agreed with Yu Heng's request with a gloomy face.

Emperor Changping pondered for a moment, agreed to the two on the spot, and promoted the 70-year-old Honglu Temple Minister to be the prince's junior teacher, and ordered Yuanzhou Governor Qi Baixuan to make up Honglu Temple Minister.

The young master of the prince, who had long been unwilling to pursue an official career, finally stepped into retirement life, grinning from ear to ear, and kowtowed to thank him with extra strength, the courtiers around him were terrified, and hurriedly helped him up.

I'm afraid that the new crown prince's young teacher will be too emotional and make the happy event become...

Because the direct line of the British government went to Princess Anguo's mansion for a banquet, which caused Yu Heng to cough up blood and faint, they still obeyed Emperor Changping's orders.

People from the Cui family and the Chen family tried to prevent Qi Baixuan from returning to Chang'an, but compared with Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue, who were in full swing, they were really soft-spoken, and they could only watch helplessly as Emperor Changping made his decree.

The rest of the courtiers either wanted to form a good relationship with Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, or they didn't think much of the position of Honglu Temple Minister at all, and they didn't bother to find a reason to prevent people who had left Chang'an for ten years from returning.Or they wanted to use Qi Baixuan's return to Chang'an to prevent Yu Heng from gaining more power when Emperor Changping rewarded Yu Heng for his military exploits, so they kept silent.

The courtiers combined various news to analyze the farce that happened outside Princess An's mansion, and most of them came to the same conclusion.

Seeing that Duke Ying's position in the court is becoming more and more marginal, Qi Shi wants to have Qi Baixuan who has been training abroad for ten years come back to assist Duke Ying.

However, the Duke of England was almost without grace in front of Emperor Changping, and he was not sure that this matter would be done, so he focused on King Xianglin who had just returned from northern Xinjiang.

From the fact that Xianglin County King held a family banquet at Princess Anguo's Mansion, and more than 50 people from Qi's family were present, it can be seen that Qi's family has premeditated.

Otherwise, how could the Duke of England still bring the separated concubine and offshoots to Princess An's mansion even though he knew that the king of Xianglin County was injured?

Obviously, he wanted to persuade the king of Xianglin County through the large number of people.

After the king of Xianglin coughed up blood and fell into a coma, His Royal Highness asked the officials of the official department.

'A governor who has served for more than five years has not made any achievements. Is it considered dereliction of duty? '

It just happened to be able to match Qi Boxuan.

What happened next confirmed the speculation of the courtiers again.

Xianglin County King went to the British Palace but was stopped outside the door. The majestic County King, like a naughty child who made a mistake, was thinking about it beside the stone lion in front of the British Palace.

His Highness the Fifth Arrived in time and immediately took away Xianglin County King.

Although there are still many places that are not yet clear in this matter.

For example, why didn't the king of Xianglin County immediately agree to the British government to transfer his biological father back to Chang'an to work, but changed his mind after coughing up blood and fainting.

But one thing is for sure.

Harshly treating Xianglin County King and offending the Fifth Highness the British government has become a joke in Chang'an.

Ji Xinxue was also puzzled.

Yu Heng wanted Qi Boxuan to return to Chang'an, all he had to do was ask Changping Emperor in private.

Even if you want to take revenge on the British government, you don't have to be so troublesome.

There is really no need to make such a big commotion.

Based on Ji Xinxue's understanding of Yu Heng, Yu Heng, who has a strong self-esteem, clearly hates being someone who needs sympathy in other people's mouths.

Yu Heng put the peeled grapes in his hands to Ji Xinxue's mouth, and said in a low voice, "I want to know if there is any inside story about the death of my grandmother and A Niang."

Ji Xinxue was stunned, the sweet grape juice unfortunately flowed into the trachea, and she suddenly coughed faintly.

inside story?

He remembered that Yu Heng's mother died of illness.

My grandmother died suddenly in an accident on the way back to Chang'an from Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.

The lord of Xianglin County had been in bed for nearly two years before his death, so I won't mention it for now.

The animal horde that the old princess encountered near Chang'an was indeed suspicious.

Yu Heng wrapped his grape juice-stained hands with a handkerchief, and carefully gave Ji Xinxue his breath.

Ji Xinxue leaned against Yu Heng exhaustedly, her eyes filled with distress.

There are many estrangements with the father's family.

It is suspected that the father's family had preyed on his grandmother and mother.

This is the difference between quantitative change and qualitative change.

Yu Heng suddenly stretched out his hand to block Ji Xinxue's eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Not long after my grandmother died suddenly, Mo Changshi left Chang'an. I think he might know something."

"Why didn't he..." Ji Xinxue stopped this stupid question.

Mo Changshi just took care of Yu Heng as a young master, and he might not know Yu Heng as well as Lin Zhao did. It is human nature to be hesitant about this kind of matter involving both Yu Heng's mother and father.

The two leaned together silently, like two little beasts snuggling up to each other. Although there was no communication between words, they were able to throw away their chaotic thoughts and gain peace because of the existence of the other party.

It's a pity that when the tax collection in various places is coming to an end, Ji Xinxue steals half of the free time, so she has to follow Jing Zhe, who is looking for someone, to go to Fengxiang Palace to work as a cow and a horse.

Watching Ji Xinxue leave, the softness in Yu Heng's eyes disappeared immediately.

Zizhu picked up a copper basin filled with warm water and stopped in front of Yu Heng, and said in a low voice, "The old general said that Jiangnan sent another letter, please take the time to return to the mansion."

Yu Heng cleaned up the stickiness between his fingers carefully, and deliberately changed into brightly colored clothes before leaving the palace and returning home.

When Lin Zhao saw Yu Heng, his eyes were filled with distress, "Did you have a bad cough yesterday?"

Why is his face so pale?

Yu Heng rubbed his already stiff face, and silently raised his palm to show Lin Zhao.

Below the bony fingers are covered with large and small white 'spots'.

Before leaving the palace, Yu Heng suddenly became curious when he saw the unopened gouache next to the bronze mirror.

When he found out that something was wrong, his face was almost white.

After carefully washing my face several times, I still couldn't completely wash off the traces of gouache.

No wonder Ji Xinxue used to be unhappy every time she applied gouache.

Lin Zhao lowered his head with a strange expression, lest Yu Heng see the smile in his eyes and become angry from embarrassment.

On the contrary, Yu Heng was more calm than Lin Zhao, and took the envelope with a normal expression.

Jiangnan's letter has never been signed, and this time is no exception.

' On October 23, his seventh son was born. '

' On October 25, his fifth daughter was born. '

'October 26, he misses you a little bit, and pulls me back to recall the time when I was still in Chang'an.

He thinks the governor of Yuzhou's daughter is virtuous and beautiful. He originally planned to hire her to be my wife, but he also thinks that I am just a bastard and not worthy of her. He wants her to be your princess or side concubine. He is considering how to say in the letter this matter. '

On October 27th, he was drunk again, and told my aunt that Princess Xianglin was good everywhere, but his domineering temper hurt others and himself, and he cried bitterly for half the night.The next day it was windy and cold, and I was bedridden for three days. '

On October 31, General Yuan Zhouwei sent him two beauties, whom he named Nianyu and Siyu respectively. '

……

'My sister's marriage cannot be delayed. '

Yu Heng quickly glanced at the contents of the letter paper, his gaze stayed on the events of October 27th and October 31st for a while, but his cold expression did not change at all.

When this letter was sent, Qi Baixuan had not received the news of his transfer to Chang'an.

"How old is Qi Zhu's younger sister?" Yu Heng handed the letter to Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao will put this letter together with the previous ones so that he can check it anytime he needs it in the future.

"She was born in the first month of the lunar year. She is 14 years old now, and the fifteenth year has passed." Lin Zhao can tell things related to Yu Heng at any time without thinking too hard.

Yu Heng stared at the envelope lost in thought.

He received the first letter from Qi Zhu in the third year of Changping.

The letter said: On the day of the princess's funeral, he secretly ordered Xiu Niang to sew a set of princess court clothes for the concubine's room. When he was drunk, he hugged the concubine's room and shouted sorry.

Yu Heng remembered very clearly that when Princess Baoding was out for a banquet that day, she was furious and hurriedly sent someone to look for Ji Xinxue.When he received the letter, he was alone in the princess mansion, because of the contents of the letter, he vomited out his lunch.

He knew that Qi Zhu's letter had ulterior motives, but he couldn't remain indifferent.

Facts have proved that Qi Zhu did not lie, so Qi Zhu will have the opportunity to continue sending him letters.

If it wasn't for Qi Zhu, although he respected and admired the Prince of Qinghe County and Emperor Changping even more, he would not look at Qi Boxuan with contempt and disdain.

Who would have imagined that when Princess Xianglin was alive, Li Shi, the daughter of the guilty minister, made frequent concessions.

The princess of Xianglin passed away, but the Li family was forced to have no place to stand by all kinds of women who looked like the princess of Xianglin. Even Li's sons and daughters changed from Qi Baixuan's treasures to field grass.

There was a mockery in Yu Heng's eyes, and he said to Lin Zhao, "Pay attention to whether there are any husbands who are of the right age for her in the family of the left guard, the left guard, and the middle man."

As an elder brother, it is impossible for him to find a good husband for Qi Zhu's younger sister, but he is not stingy with rewarding smart people.

The current way of getting along is most suitable for him and Qi Zhu.

Qi Zhu did things for him, and he rewarded Qi Zhu.

Surprise appeared in Lin Zhao's eyes, and he casually reported a few names, "I'll take another look and choose the most suitable person for the girl."

After all, she is Yu Heng's sister in name, and the Princess Mansion came forward to protect the matchmaker and betrothed her to the home of General Zuowei Zhonglang. Everyone is happy, which is in line with the Princess Mansion's position.

As for 'she' is Li Niangzi's daughter.

Lin Zhao didn't mind.

The person who caused the princess to be depressed and die young may be the old lady of the British government, the kind-hearted British husband and wife, or the competitive Princess Yiyun, the duplicitous Zheng , Qi Boxuan who always disappointed the princess.

The only thing that won't be Mrs. Li, who can't protect herself.

Back then, if there was no Mrs. Li, there would be Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Chen...

When Mo Changshi left Chang'an, he said that Mrs. Li was just an ordinary smart person, so the princess died, but she was alive.

Even Mo Changshi, who watched the princess grow up, only sighed when he mentioned Mrs. Li, without disgust, which shows how insignificant Mrs. Li's position in the British government is.

Yu Heng nodded, and handed over the matter to Lin Zhao with confidence.

He left the study room, turned around along the corridor, crossed several hanging flower doors, and stopped at Qionghua Courtyard which was two courtyards away from Lenghui Courtyard.

If Ji Xinxue were here, he would definitely find that the internal structure and layout of the Qionghua Courtyard was exactly the same as that of the main hall of the Yuhe Palace.

Yu Heng habitually went to the warehouse first.

In the warehouse of Yuhe Palace, in addition to the large cabinets on the four sides, there are also countless small cabinets, all of which are Ji Xinxue's favorite jewelry or jewelry that has not been worn yet.

The Qionghua courtyard is also full of well-arranged cabinets, but inside are not clothing accessories or jasper gems, but Yu Heng's treasures.

After entering the door, Yu Heng turned right and looked through the latest picture albums sent to the princess mansion from bottom to top.

Half an hour is enough for him to flip through ninety picture albums.

Among them, 75 albums were neatly piled up on the ground, waiting for Lin Zhao to deal with them.

Yu Heng asked Qingzhu to send the remaining fifteen albums to the main room to replace the albums in the hidden compartment of the Babu bed.

The original picture albums in the dark compartment were placed on the bookshelves deep in the warehouse according to the colors of the colored feathers in them.

Qing Zhu nodded yes, and first handed the invitation to Yu Heng that had just been sent to the Princess Mansion.

Yu Heng casually glanced at the content above, and said coldly, "You go to Qinghe County Prince's Mansion to find Ji Cheng, and let him handle the flower banquet at Princess Huai'an's mansion in three days."

When he was "coughed up blood" by people in the British government, Ji Cheng avoided the flower banquet at Qinghe County's palace on the pretext of taking care of him.

When he was 'rejected' by the British government, Ji Cheng used an excuse to comfort him and escaped the flower banquet at the Xinyang County prince's residence.

This time, it was Ji Cheng's turn to express his feelings for the flower banquet at Princess Huai'an's mansion.
