I was a princess in ancient times
Chapter 152
News of Emperor Changping's sudden illness spread outside the palace.The courtiers racked their brains to analyze whether Emperor Changping ordered Princess Huai'an, Princess Baoding, and Princess Jinming to handle political affairs on their behalf. Whether it was a casual order or a ulterior motive, they all tacitly used various excuses to change their original plan and avoid entering the palace. The princesses are asked to make up their minds for Emperor Changping.
After Hubu Shangshu and Bingbu Shangshu left Fengxiang Palace, only the three sisters were left in the study.
Ji Mingtong stood in front of the window, staring blankly at the old plum tree in the courtyard, deep in his eyes was a deep and indelible melancholy.
Although the cold wind of Dongyue is bitter, it will not hurt her... because her heart has been frozen for thousands of miles.
A Xue just likes her childhood sweetheart's fiancé, and if she wants to grow old with her fiancé, she will get mad at Aye.If Aye finds out about her and Ji Cheng one day... Sigh.
Ji Jingrou's mood is no less relaxed than Ji Mingtong's.
She and Ji Mingtong got up together, first turned around twice in front of the Babao grid by the wall, then unconsciously walked to the window on the other side in a daze, went to the cubicle to arrange the position of the hairpin in front of the bronze mirror, and returned to the Babao grid again. In front of Baoge, and then go to the window in a daze...
Every time during the process of changing positions, Ji Jingrou would subconsciously look for Ji Minyan's figure from the corner of her eyes.
Yesterday she was praying to her ancestors in the ancestral hall of the Princess Mansion to bless Ah Xue to make her wishes come true, when she was surprised to hear that the Jinwu Guards came looking for her.Knowing that Emperor Changping had lifted the restraint on Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, and shortly after Ji Xinxue left Fengxiang Palace, he suddenly felt unwell and needed to rest in bed.
Although the imperial physician swore that Emperor Changping was fine, Ji Jingrou's heart was still not at peace.
Whether it was resting in the front yard of Prince Jia's Mansion in the past, or occasionally taking a nap in Fengxiang Palace in recent years, Ji Jingrou has never had a nightmare, but last night was an exception.
At this moment, Ji Jingrou's mind is full of scenes from nightmares.
If there was a chance to regret it, she would definitely not have gone to visit the younger brother who was grounded by Aye with the elder sister the day before yesterday.That way, she won't hear words that make her sleepless and sleepless at night.
Ji Jingrou has not yet been able to figure out why the eldest sister and younger brother think that she has the possibility of becoming a princess.
Even if neither the eldest brother nor the younger brother can become the crown prince, if one has to find a crown daughter who satisfies both of them from among the sisters, this person should be the elder sister.
A Buhanbing's status is not suitable to be the biological father of the next prince, and there is Ji Mingtong, the prostitute daughter, and Ji Baoshan, who is younger and easier to train than her.
No matter what, it shouldn't be her turn!
But the two smartest of the brothers and sisters thought she was the most suitable person to be the princess.
Gee.
Ji Minyan, who has always been sensitive, did not notice the irritability of the two younger sisters at all, because she was also very irritated.
Although Jingyu is generous and magnanimous, it is easy to get the favor of strangers, but it is difficult to have clear emotions.If he hadn't liked it to the bottom of his heart, he would never have made a private decision for life behind Aye and Xiao Ning's back.
Jingrou...Since Xiao Wu mentioned the possibility of the princess the day before yesterday, Ji Minyan began to think about it, so she immediately found that Ji Jingrou was avoiding her calmly, occasionally looking at her with not only a hint of vigilance in her eyes, but also There seems to be no fear.
Ji Minyan thought about it, and felt that things had returned to the original point.
As long as Ji Xinxue speaks, all problems can be easily solved.
Even if Ji Jingyu was willing to separate from Xiao Ning, he might not be able to reborn and become a prince who completely satisfied Emperor Changping and his courtiers.
Even if Ji Jingrou completely changed his attitude towards the Crown Princess and suffered a lot for it, there was still no guarantee that he would be able to become an excellent prince.
Ji Minyan even thought about the possibility of replacing Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou with herself.She tried not to think about the blue eyes that seemed to contain the vast sky in the back of her mind, but only thought that it must come from the resistance of the court and the people.Then it is even more impossible to demand Ji Jingrou to be brave.
Even if it is her, there is no guarantee that she will become the first princess since ancient times with the support of her two younger brothers.
Only Ji Xinxue, as long as she is willing to marry a wife and have children, can immediately put an end to the 'mystery of the prince'.
There was regular knocking at the door, followed by Songnian's voice, "Princess, I have an order from Your Majesty."
He strode into the study, and before he had time to carefully distinguish the three sisters who were clearly in different corners, what kind of aura they were shrouded in, he immediately said solemnly, "Tell them that they don't have to stay in the study, and they won't come again this afternoon." Someone is coming."
This is what Emperor Changping told Songnian yesterday and told Ji Minyan and others at noon today.
Because of Ji Xinxue who was suddenly thrown out of the bedroom and Emperor Changping who fell into anger again, Songnian almost forgot about it.
Ji Mingtong was the first to respond, "I'll go to Tranquility Palace to have dinner with my grandmother and little grandma."
Ji Jingrou was afraid that Ji Minyan would talk to her about the princess again, so she said without thinking, "I'm going to Tranquility Palace too."
Ji Minyan nodded absently, and said casually, "Go."
She stays in the study.
Song Nian thought of Ji Xinxue leaving Fengxiang Palace and rushing to Tranquility Palace immediately, and kindly reminded Ji Mingtong and Ji Jingrou, "If the princesses go early, maybe they can meet His Highness Fifth and King Xianglin."
Ji Minyan raised her head abruptly, her tired eyes suddenly became sharp, "Are they in Tranquility Palace?"
"His Highness heard that His Majesty fell ill, so he went to the palace to visit His Majesty. The county king and His Highness entered the palace together, and first went to Tranquility Palace to greet the ladies. When His Royal Highness left Fengxiang Palace just now, he went in the direction of Tranquility Palace." Song Nian said as usual. Being considerate, she immediately told Ji Minyan and the others what she could say.
"Is Aye still angry?"
"When Xiao Wu left Fengxiang Palace, his expression was ugly...is there any difference from usual?"
"Did Aye and Xiao Wu quarrel?"
The three sisters spoke at the same time.
Song Nian's expression gradually became strange, he smiled wryly and shook his head, "I don't know."
Without His Majesty's consent, he cannot speak.
Besides, although he didn't understand what kind of changes happened between His Majesty and His Highness because of the short conversation, he was very clear in his heart.If one-sided explanation of the situation at that time was made according to the princesses' inquiries, it would mislead the princesses in all likelihood.
Ji Jingrou and Ji Mingtong looked at each other with the same worry in their eyes.
If things started to develop in a good direction, Songnian's expression would definitely not be so solemn.
Ji Minyan's eyes gradually became deeper.
She has fulfilled her promise and tried her best to help Xiao Wu get Aye's forgiveness.
It's a pity that Xiao Wu didn't seize this opportunity.
The three sisters went straight to the Tranquility Palace but were in vain. Disappointment appeared on their brows when they heard Concubine Su tell them that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were still in Tranquility Palace, one was changing because of dirty clothes, and the other was in the yard breathable.
"I'm going to find..."
The three sisters spoke at the same time.
The moment Ji Jingrou's gaze met Ji Minyan's, she faltered for a second, and immediately went to the vacant seat next to Queen Mother Su.
She has the closest relationship with Ji Minyan, and she is most afraid of the majesty of her elder sister.
In contrast, Ji Xinxue, who often asked her for gossip, seemed much more cordial.
Therefore, she dared to explain to Ji Xinxue in private that she had no intention of becoming a princess, but she did not dare to let Ji Minyan know that she was "no prospect", for fear of seeing disappointment on Ji Minyan's face.
Ji Minyan turned to look at Ji Mingtong.
She wanted to talk to Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng alone.
Ji Mingtong smiled and stretched out his hand to Ji Minyan, "Come on, let's go together."
Watching Ji Minyan and Ji Mingtong leave hand in hand, Ji Jingrou picked up the teacup silently.
In the future, she will have a daughter who looks like Axue and has a personality like Mingming.
Because her appearance is not as good as Aye, the appearance of the son-in-law must be far superior to Concubine Zhong Shu.
Thinking of this, Ji Jingrou suddenly raised his head to look at Empress Dowager Su, his eyes were full of light, and he said in a positive tone, "At the end of the fifth year of Emperor Changping, Aye asked Sister to choose a son-in-law from among five people. Is there a very good-looking one?" The son of a petty official?"
Because he would be surrounded every time he went out, the beautiful son of a small official didn't even dare to go out easily, so he could only stay at home all day.
Empress Dowager Su nodded, and thoughtfully glanced at the blush that suddenly appeared on Ji Jingrou's cheeks, "Xuanwei and Fu'er both wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law, so they fought hard for this. In order not to hurt each other's feelings, they agreed to give up at the same time."
"I remember him." Concubine Su clapped her palms and smiled, and said to Ji Jingju, "The imperial envoy who just happened to be on a mission in Jiangnan Road returned to Chang'an, and he also liked him as a son-in-law. I thought it was a sure thing, but I didn't expect the king of Xinyang County to enter the palace directly. Ask for the grace of marriage for your granddaughter."
Ji Jingrou gradually recalled his vague impression of these things.
In the sixth year of Changping, Yu Heng had just left Chang'an to go to northern Xinjiang, and Ashe was always depressed.
She felt sorry for A Xue who was picked on by the courtiers all day long because she violated the interests of the courtiers, but also felt that A Xue always felt lonely, and she almost focused all her attention on A Xue, so she inevitably neglected other things.
Xuanwei is the daughter of 'Brother Huang', and Fu'er is the eldest granddaughter of Qinghe County Prince's Mansion. The fight between the two daughters for husband really caused quite a commotion back then.
Concubine Su put her hand on the center of Ji Jingrou's eyebrows, she could clearly see that the emotion in Ji Jingrou's eyes was remorse, she still joked with her with great interest, "It can be seen that this son is destined to be the son-in-law of the clan, he can't be a son-in-law, but he is also a guest of honor."
Ji Jingrou sighed, and looked at Concubine Su sadly.
It's only because she didn't know how beautiful men are when she was young, so what kind of beauty would someone Xuan Wei, Fu'er, and Princess Yi Yu fall in love with at the same time?
Not only Concubine Su was amused by Ji Jingrou's reaction, Empress Dowager Su also showed surprise on her face, "Do you really want him to be your son-in-law?"
Ji Jingrou embraced Concubine Su and Empress Dowager Su's arms, the embarrassment in his eyes became more and more intense, "I want a son-in-law who is more beautiful than him."
It's best not to be born as the son of a petty official. She can be a commoner, a craftsman, or a criminal official!
Elder sister, elder brother, and younger brother are all because the person she loves is not suitable for reserve positions. She has no love, so she can only use beautiful people to make up the number.
"Why do you suddenly start caring about marriage?" Concubine Su looked at Ji Jingrou gently, her eyes full of tolerance, like looking at an ignorant child.
Ji Jingrou nodded solemnly, "Because my son has grown up."
Xiao Wu is capable and courageous, able to stick to the bottom line and fight for the life she wants even when Aye and elder sister disagree.
She doesn't have Xiaowu's ability and courage, so she can only plan ahead and choose the future she likes most within the scope of her choices.
Disapproval appeared in Concubine Su's eyes.
What's the use of being beautiful?Sooner or later you will lose your beautiful skin.
She was about to persuade Ji Jingrou to think about lifelong affairs when she suddenly felt the strength on her shoulders.
Empress Dowager Su shook her head at Concubine Su, and raised her hand to embrace Ji Jingrou into her arms.
As long as Ji Jingrou really liked the beautiful skin of the son-in-law when she got married, it was enough.
If the son-in-law can't please Ji Jingrou with anything other than his beautiful skin, when the son-in-law gradually loses his beautiful skin, Ji Jingrou can choose someone more beautiful.
Ji Minyan and Ji Mingtong went further and further away according to the palace staff's reminder.
Ji Mingtong gradually slowed down and discussed with Ji Minyan in a low voice, "There are so many forked roads here, will we get separated from them? Why don't we wait here..."
"You wait here." Ji Minyan nodded happily, and almost couldn't wait to shake off Ji Mingtong's hand.
Ji Mingtong shook his head frantically, wishing he could wrap himself around Ji Minyan like an octopus.
With Ji Minyan walking faster and faster, as if she was going to catch a rape, how dare she let Ji Minyan go find someone alone?
Even if Ji Mingtong tried every means to delay Ji Minyan's progress, he still couldn't compare with Ji Minyan who often practiced martial arts with Abuhanbing.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the two panting, managed to meet Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng who were cuddling intimately together.
Ji Minyan's eyes swept over Ji Xinxue's red and swollen lips, and landed on the folds and scratches of the hem of the clothes, and said straight to the point, "I have something to talk to you alone."
"Why can't I listen?" Ji Mingtong immediately protested.
Ji Minyan was almost pissed to death by this little idiot who specially dragged her back, and only with the last of her rationality did she not anger Yu Heng, saying 'you can listen, only Yu Heng can't listen', and maintained her dignity.
Sensing Ji Minyan's anger, Ji Mingtong immediately ran behind Ji Xinxue, bravely protecting his younger brother, "Grandmother and little grandma are waiting for us. Let's go back to the flower hall first, and then you can whisper."
Ji Xinxue saw Ji Mingtong's brave and timid appearance, as if his whole heart was soaked in warm water.
He exchanged glances with Yu Heng, bowed his head and said in Ji Mingtong's ear, "It just so happens that I have something to tell my sister. You and Feng Lang walk in front, and my sister and I walk behind. Just walk slowly, sure. I won’t make grandma and little grandma wait in a hurry.”
Ji Mingtong nodded, walked around to Yu Heng's side, trying to block Ji Minyan's gaze with Yu Heng's tall figure.
When the eldest sister couldn't pick a son-in-law and was unwilling to get married, she also tried her best to speak up for the elder sister in front of Aye and grandmother.
She is not guilty!
Ji Minyan's attention had long shifted from Ji Mingtong to Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, and she had a panoramic view of the tacit understanding of the two's eye contact.
"Sister" Ji Xinxue raised her arm, motioning for Ji Minyan to join her hand.
The sky does not know when it will start to snow again, if Ji Minyan is wearing high-soled shoes, it is easy to slip.
Ji Minyan's eyes flashed extremely complicated emotions, she coldly rejected Ji Xinxue, and took the lead to take the lead.
Ji Mingtong's guess was right, she was looking for someone fake, but the trouble she was having with Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng was real.
Ji Minyan is willing to intercede for Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng in front of Emperor Changping, the premise is that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng can seek the forgiveness of Emperor Changping, and it is not that they have repeatedly defeated Emperor Changping.
"What happened yesterday?" She turned her head to look at Ji Xinxue, her eyes full of questioning.
Ji Xinxue smiled gently. If he had faced Ji Minyan's cold face yesterday, he might have been very sad.
Fortunately, he only faced the eldest sister's questioning after he had a long talk with Aye today.
How relaxed is Ji Xinxue's mood at this time, how grateful Ji Xinxue was to follow the thoughts in her heart yesterday and go to Princess An's mansion to find Yu Heng.With the help of the most sympathetic person, I can sort out my thoughts as quickly as possible, and come up with the most suitable solution to various current problems.
Among them is the hidden huge conflict between him and Ji Minyan.
First of all, Ji Minyan may not mind the matter between him and Yu Heng.
Only now that he and Ji Jingyu are surrounded by wolves, their status is in jeopardy, and they will completely miss the position of prince at any time, Ji Minyan can temporarily put down his anger towards him and Yu Heng, and turn his thorns towards outsiders.
When Emperor Changping considered his proposal, he would not consider the establishment of a prince for the time being.
Ji Jingyu will be eliminated directly in all likelihood, while he will be "asked to kill after autumn".
The dust of the biggest crisis has settled, but Ji Minyan's wish to keep the crown prince among her brothers and sisters in Qiandi has not been satisfied for a long time.
Ji Minyan would not blame Emperor Changping for this incident, only blame him for not living up to expectations, and blame Yu Heng for ruining his future.There is a very high possibility that because he is in the state of "Qiuhou Wenzhan", he will try his best to separate him and Yu Heng, so as to seek his "acquittal" and become the perfect candidate for the crown prince again.
Secondly, even if Ji Minyan could still keep calm in the face of the deeply obsessed emperor, and didn't resent him and Yu Heng because she couldn't fulfill her long-cherished wish for many years, she would still discover another deception.
Ji Xinxue promised Ji Minyan the day before yesterday that she would do her best to keep the throne among the brothers and sisters who were born in Qiandi.
However, he told Emperor Changping today.
Regardless of whether Emperor Changping chooses the first suggestion: keep a secret edict and use Ji Xinxue to take care of it, and choose the prince after six years.Or the second way: still choose Ji Xinxue as the prince, and allow Ji Xinxue to use adoptive methods to solve the problem of heirs.
Ji Xinxue will choose "virtuous" instead of "relatives", and choose the most suitable person to inherit the painstaking efforts of Emperor Changping.
According to the strange "long crooked" methods of the brothers and sisters in Qiandi, Ji Jingrou and Ji Baoshan may not be able to give birth to a suitable heir...
There is no impenetrable wall in the world, besides, Emperor Changping's trust and reliance on his eldest daughter has always been no less than that of his sons, and Ji Minyan is also sensitive enough.
Maybe at some point, Ji Minyan will notice Ji Xinxue's 'deception'.
If Ji Minyan discovers Ji Xinxue's deception, Ji Xinxue is already the emperor, he can use countless ways to dispel Ji Minyan's concerns and prove that he is right.
If Ji Xinxue was still a princess, prince, princess, or prince at that time... To be honest, Ji Xinxue was not sure that she could stop Ji Minyan's irrational thoughts in time, and she was even more afraid that there would be an irreparable gap in the relationship between brothers and sisters.
In the final analysis, Ji Minyan's biggest concern in the selection of the prince comes from 'party disputes'.
This is also the risk that Ji Xinxue, as the most suitable candidate for the crown prince, is destined not to have a biological child.
Ji Xinxue lowered her head and leaned close to Ji Minyan's ear, a cunning flashed in her eyes, "Aye thought of the late emperor yesterday, that's why I got mad."
First find a common enemy who will definitely attract Ji Minyan's attention, and find a place where Ji Minyan can vent her anger hidden in her heart without any scruples.
At the same time, we started to suppress the layout of the party struggle, trying to make Ji Minyan see the effect during the period of "Qiuhouwenqiu".
Ji Minyan suddenly stopped in her tracks, her tone could not hide her shock, "The first emperor?"
Why did Aye think of the late emperor because of A Xuexi Longyang? Could it be that the late emperor...
She shook her head violently, shaking the strange thought out of her mind.
Even if the first emperor loved Longyang privately, Aye would not be angry about it.
It should be thinking about the fact that Ah Xue was almost used as a medicinal material, and remembering the powerlessness back then.
"Aye said that he must not be the same as the first emperor, and even cried out because of it." Ji Xinxue raised her arms and used her wide sleeves to shield Ji Minyan from the cold wind, and a coldness gradually emerged between her brows, "I didn't sleep all night yesterday, Thinking about Aye's words, I was shocked to realize that the late emperor had passed away for nearly ten years, and he was still bothering Aye like a gangrene."
For so many years, Emperor Changping is like the perfect counterpart of Emperor Yanguang.
After Emperor Yanguang came to the throne, he mutilated the younger brother of one mother, forced his biological mother to death, massacred his half-brothers, and frightened his half-sisters to death.
After Emperor Changping came to the throne, he was not only extremely filial to the Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su, but also extremely benevolent and righteous to the concubines.Changed the title of Princess Dehui, who grew up in front of the Empress Dowager Su, to Huayang, and gave her a land and food.
Although the other honest half-sisters are not as good as the eldest princess Huayang, they finally enjoy the treatment that only emperor daughters can have after the death of their "child-hating" father.Even King Xiang, who once fought against Emperor Changping, was forgiven and cared by Emperor Changping.
If it hadn't been for the Jiang family pushing King Li to be a scapegoat, with Emperor Changping's tolerance, they might not even have attacked King Li who had caused him countless troubles.
Emperor Yanguang was extremely free-wheeling about the affairs of the court, not only the small court meeting never showed up, but the grand court meeting also depended on his mood.
Emperor Changping has been on the throne for nearly ten years, and has never been absent from the Great Court Meeting and the Small Court Meeting due to personal reasons.Compared with the first emperor, he treated himself almost harshly.
Ji Xinxue remembered very clearly that last May, Emperor Changping had to go to the Xiaochaohui despite the dissuasion of the imperial physician because of his greed for cold and cold, and sat with the courtiers who were chattering until the west of the sun.
What was originally just dizziness turned into a high fever.
In the next half month, every time Emperor Changping's condition improved, it would be repeated due to the big court meeting or the small court meeting, and it took nearly two decades to fully recover.
If Emperor Changping had listened to the imperial physician's advice at the very beginning, he would have recovered in just two days.
Emperor Yanguang had a small belly, and was extremely harsh on those who served him, beating and scolding at every turn, even punching and kicking, taking pleasure in punishing the palace servants.
Emperor Changping was just the opposite, he was a benevolent emperor who restrained himself.
Ji Xinxue saw with her own eyes that Emperor Changping was unhappy because the palace servants destroyed the things he had loved for many years, but in the end he just kicked the palace servants out of Fengxiang Palace, and allowed the palace servants to take away the money and treasures they had accumulated over the years.
Regarding the treatment of Mo Yao and Bai Qianli, Emperor Changping was even more magnanimous rarely seen in history books.
……
One thing, two things can be said to be a coincidence.
However, Emperor Changping was completely opposite to Emperor Yanguang in every way.
Especially last year, Emperor Changping knew that there were no important matters in the Dachaohui and the Xiaochaohui. Whether or not he sat in person would not affect the overall situation.
No matter how you look at it, it's not normal.
Ji Xinxue's prediction was right, Ji Minyan hated Emperor Yanguang no less than he and Yu Heng.
As he cited more and more things, the anger on Ji Minyan's face became more and more intense, and unconsciously, she completely forgot what she originally wanted to say to Ji Xinxue.
"Sister, we have to help Aye completely get rid of the shadow of the late emperor." Ji Xinxue stared into Ji Minyan's eyes with burning eyes.
Ji Minyan's eyes were full of trust in Ji Xinxue, and she said in a firm tone, "You already have an idea."
Although there will be almost no footprints of the Jinwu Guard in the Tranquility Palace, Ji Xinxue still kept her voice to a minimum.
A vaguely smiling voice came out of Ji Xinxue's mouth and entered Ji Minyan's ears, even the falling snowflakes couldn't detect a single word.
"Aye is wise and mighty, destined to be famous in history, and I can't let irrelevant people tarnish Aye's reputation."
Ji Minyan's heartbeat became faster and faster, and the light in her eyes could almost melt the flying snow in the air.
She didn't even dare to breathe harder, for fear of missing any breath sounds.
Ash was right!
The first emperor was so harsh on Aye, why should he take Aye's glory in the history books as a matter of course?
Ji Minyan looked up at her younger brother who was already half a head taller than her, and could already guess what Ji Xinxue would say next.
She felt that the thoughts in her mind should not exist, but she also desperately hoped that she had guessed correctly and wanted to be confirmed by Ji Xinxue.
"Abolish the temple title of the first emperor, and degrade him as a commoner." Ji Xinxue raised the corners of her mouth, with a cold smile in her eyes, "Aye, you are an emperor, why would you waste time on a sinner who has been stinking for thousands of years, right?"
After Hubu Shangshu and Bingbu Shangshu left Fengxiang Palace, only the three sisters were left in the study.
Ji Mingtong stood in front of the window, staring blankly at the old plum tree in the courtyard, deep in his eyes was a deep and indelible melancholy.
Although the cold wind of Dongyue is bitter, it will not hurt her... because her heart has been frozen for thousands of miles.
A Xue just likes her childhood sweetheart's fiancé, and if she wants to grow old with her fiancé, she will get mad at Aye.If Aye finds out about her and Ji Cheng one day... Sigh.
Ji Jingrou's mood is no less relaxed than Ji Mingtong's.
She and Ji Mingtong got up together, first turned around twice in front of the Babao grid by the wall, then unconsciously walked to the window on the other side in a daze, went to the cubicle to arrange the position of the hairpin in front of the bronze mirror, and returned to the Babao grid again. In front of Baoge, and then go to the window in a daze...
Every time during the process of changing positions, Ji Jingrou would subconsciously look for Ji Minyan's figure from the corner of her eyes.
Yesterday she was praying to her ancestors in the ancestral hall of the Princess Mansion to bless Ah Xue to make her wishes come true, when she was surprised to hear that the Jinwu Guards came looking for her.Knowing that Emperor Changping had lifted the restraint on Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, and shortly after Ji Xinxue left Fengxiang Palace, he suddenly felt unwell and needed to rest in bed.
Although the imperial physician swore that Emperor Changping was fine, Ji Jingrou's heart was still not at peace.
Whether it was resting in the front yard of Prince Jia's Mansion in the past, or occasionally taking a nap in Fengxiang Palace in recent years, Ji Jingrou has never had a nightmare, but last night was an exception.
At this moment, Ji Jingrou's mind is full of scenes from nightmares.
If there was a chance to regret it, she would definitely not have gone to visit the younger brother who was grounded by Aye with the elder sister the day before yesterday.That way, she won't hear words that make her sleepless and sleepless at night.
Ji Jingrou has not yet been able to figure out why the eldest sister and younger brother think that she has the possibility of becoming a princess.
Even if neither the eldest brother nor the younger brother can become the crown prince, if one has to find a crown daughter who satisfies both of them from among the sisters, this person should be the elder sister.
A Buhanbing's status is not suitable to be the biological father of the next prince, and there is Ji Mingtong, the prostitute daughter, and Ji Baoshan, who is younger and easier to train than her.
No matter what, it shouldn't be her turn!
But the two smartest of the brothers and sisters thought she was the most suitable person to be the princess.
Gee.
Ji Minyan, who has always been sensitive, did not notice the irritability of the two younger sisters at all, because she was also very irritated.
Although Jingyu is generous and magnanimous, it is easy to get the favor of strangers, but it is difficult to have clear emotions.If he hadn't liked it to the bottom of his heart, he would never have made a private decision for life behind Aye and Xiao Ning's back.
Jingrou...Since Xiao Wu mentioned the possibility of the princess the day before yesterday, Ji Minyan began to think about it, so she immediately found that Ji Jingrou was avoiding her calmly, occasionally looking at her with not only a hint of vigilance in her eyes, but also There seems to be no fear.
Ji Minyan thought about it, and felt that things had returned to the original point.
As long as Ji Xinxue speaks, all problems can be easily solved.
Even if Ji Jingyu was willing to separate from Xiao Ning, he might not be able to reborn and become a prince who completely satisfied Emperor Changping and his courtiers.
Even if Ji Jingrou completely changed his attitude towards the Crown Princess and suffered a lot for it, there was still no guarantee that he would be able to become an excellent prince.
Ji Minyan even thought about the possibility of replacing Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou with herself.She tried not to think about the blue eyes that seemed to contain the vast sky in the back of her mind, but only thought that it must come from the resistance of the court and the people.Then it is even more impossible to demand Ji Jingrou to be brave.
Even if it is her, there is no guarantee that she will become the first princess since ancient times with the support of her two younger brothers.
Only Ji Xinxue, as long as she is willing to marry a wife and have children, can immediately put an end to the 'mystery of the prince'.
There was regular knocking at the door, followed by Songnian's voice, "Princess, I have an order from Your Majesty."
He strode into the study, and before he had time to carefully distinguish the three sisters who were clearly in different corners, what kind of aura they were shrouded in, he immediately said solemnly, "Tell them that they don't have to stay in the study, and they won't come again this afternoon." Someone is coming."
This is what Emperor Changping told Songnian yesterday and told Ji Minyan and others at noon today.
Because of Ji Xinxue who was suddenly thrown out of the bedroom and Emperor Changping who fell into anger again, Songnian almost forgot about it.
Ji Mingtong was the first to respond, "I'll go to Tranquility Palace to have dinner with my grandmother and little grandma."
Ji Jingrou was afraid that Ji Minyan would talk to her about the princess again, so she said without thinking, "I'm going to Tranquility Palace too."
Ji Minyan nodded absently, and said casually, "Go."
She stays in the study.
Song Nian thought of Ji Xinxue leaving Fengxiang Palace and rushing to Tranquility Palace immediately, and kindly reminded Ji Mingtong and Ji Jingrou, "If the princesses go early, maybe they can meet His Highness Fifth and King Xianglin."
Ji Minyan raised her head abruptly, her tired eyes suddenly became sharp, "Are they in Tranquility Palace?"
"His Highness heard that His Majesty fell ill, so he went to the palace to visit His Majesty. The county king and His Highness entered the palace together, and first went to Tranquility Palace to greet the ladies. When His Royal Highness left Fengxiang Palace just now, he went in the direction of Tranquility Palace." Song Nian said as usual. Being considerate, she immediately told Ji Minyan and the others what she could say.
"Is Aye still angry?"
"When Xiao Wu left Fengxiang Palace, his expression was ugly...is there any difference from usual?"
"Did Aye and Xiao Wu quarrel?"
The three sisters spoke at the same time.
Song Nian's expression gradually became strange, he smiled wryly and shook his head, "I don't know."
Without His Majesty's consent, he cannot speak.
Besides, although he didn't understand what kind of changes happened between His Majesty and His Highness because of the short conversation, he was very clear in his heart.If one-sided explanation of the situation at that time was made according to the princesses' inquiries, it would mislead the princesses in all likelihood.
Ji Jingrou and Ji Mingtong looked at each other with the same worry in their eyes.
If things started to develop in a good direction, Songnian's expression would definitely not be so solemn.
Ji Minyan's eyes gradually became deeper.
She has fulfilled her promise and tried her best to help Xiao Wu get Aye's forgiveness.
It's a pity that Xiao Wu didn't seize this opportunity.
The three sisters went straight to the Tranquility Palace but were in vain. Disappointment appeared on their brows when they heard Concubine Su tell them that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were still in Tranquility Palace, one was changing because of dirty clothes, and the other was in the yard breathable.
"I'm going to find..."
The three sisters spoke at the same time.
The moment Ji Jingrou's gaze met Ji Minyan's, she faltered for a second, and immediately went to the vacant seat next to Queen Mother Su.
She has the closest relationship with Ji Minyan, and she is most afraid of the majesty of her elder sister.
In contrast, Ji Xinxue, who often asked her for gossip, seemed much more cordial.
Therefore, she dared to explain to Ji Xinxue in private that she had no intention of becoming a princess, but she did not dare to let Ji Minyan know that she was "no prospect", for fear of seeing disappointment on Ji Minyan's face.
Ji Minyan turned to look at Ji Mingtong.
She wanted to talk to Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng alone.
Ji Mingtong smiled and stretched out his hand to Ji Minyan, "Come on, let's go together."
Watching Ji Minyan and Ji Mingtong leave hand in hand, Ji Jingrou picked up the teacup silently.
In the future, she will have a daughter who looks like Axue and has a personality like Mingming.
Because her appearance is not as good as Aye, the appearance of the son-in-law must be far superior to Concubine Zhong Shu.
Thinking of this, Ji Jingrou suddenly raised his head to look at Empress Dowager Su, his eyes were full of light, and he said in a positive tone, "At the end of the fifth year of Emperor Changping, Aye asked Sister to choose a son-in-law from among five people. Is there a very good-looking one?" The son of a petty official?"
Because he would be surrounded every time he went out, the beautiful son of a small official didn't even dare to go out easily, so he could only stay at home all day.
Empress Dowager Su nodded, and thoughtfully glanced at the blush that suddenly appeared on Ji Jingrou's cheeks, "Xuanwei and Fu'er both wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law, so they fought hard for this. In order not to hurt each other's feelings, they agreed to give up at the same time."
"I remember him." Concubine Su clapped her palms and smiled, and said to Ji Jingju, "The imperial envoy who just happened to be on a mission in Jiangnan Road returned to Chang'an, and he also liked him as a son-in-law. I thought it was a sure thing, but I didn't expect the king of Xinyang County to enter the palace directly. Ask for the grace of marriage for your granddaughter."
Ji Jingrou gradually recalled his vague impression of these things.
In the sixth year of Changping, Yu Heng had just left Chang'an to go to northern Xinjiang, and Ashe was always depressed.
She felt sorry for A Xue who was picked on by the courtiers all day long because she violated the interests of the courtiers, but also felt that A Xue always felt lonely, and she almost focused all her attention on A Xue, so she inevitably neglected other things.
Xuanwei is the daughter of 'Brother Huang', and Fu'er is the eldest granddaughter of Qinghe County Prince's Mansion. The fight between the two daughters for husband really caused quite a commotion back then.
Concubine Su put her hand on the center of Ji Jingrou's eyebrows, she could clearly see that the emotion in Ji Jingrou's eyes was remorse, she still joked with her with great interest, "It can be seen that this son is destined to be the son-in-law of the clan, he can't be a son-in-law, but he is also a guest of honor."
Ji Jingrou sighed, and looked at Concubine Su sadly.
It's only because she didn't know how beautiful men are when she was young, so what kind of beauty would someone Xuan Wei, Fu'er, and Princess Yi Yu fall in love with at the same time?
Not only Concubine Su was amused by Ji Jingrou's reaction, Empress Dowager Su also showed surprise on her face, "Do you really want him to be your son-in-law?"
Ji Jingrou embraced Concubine Su and Empress Dowager Su's arms, the embarrassment in his eyes became more and more intense, "I want a son-in-law who is more beautiful than him."
It's best not to be born as the son of a petty official. She can be a commoner, a craftsman, or a criminal official!
Elder sister, elder brother, and younger brother are all because the person she loves is not suitable for reserve positions. She has no love, so she can only use beautiful people to make up the number.
"Why do you suddenly start caring about marriage?" Concubine Su looked at Ji Jingrou gently, her eyes full of tolerance, like looking at an ignorant child.
Ji Jingrou nodded solemnly, "Because my son has grown up."
Xiao Wu is capable and courageous, able to stick to the bottom line and fight for the life she wants even when Aye and elder sister disagree.
She doesn't have Xiaowu's ability and courage, so she can only plan ahead and choose the future she likes most within the scope of her choices.
Disapproval appeared in Concubine Su's eyes.
What's the use of being beautiful?Sooner or later you will lose your beautiful skin.
She was about to persuade Ji Jingrou to think about lifelong affairs when she suddenly felt the strength on her shoulders.
Empress Dowager Su shook her head at Concubine Su, and raised her hand to embrace Ji Jingrou into her arms.
As long as Ji Jingrou really liked the beautiful skin of the son-in-law when she got married, it was enough.
If the son-in-law can't please Ji Jingrou with anything other than his beautiful skin, when the son-in-law gradually loses his beautiful skin, Ji Jingrou can choose someone more beautiful.
Ji Minyan and Ji Mingtong went further and further away according to the palace staff's reminder.
Ji Mingtong gradually slowed down and discussed with Ji Minyan in a low voice, "There are so many forked roads here, will we get separated from them? Why don't we wait here..."
"You wait here." Ji Minyan nodded happily, and almost couldn't wait to shake off Ji Mingtong's hand.
Ji Mingtong shook his head frantically, wishing he could wrap himself around Ji Minyan like an octopus.
With Ji Minyan walking faster and faster, as if she was going to catch a rape, how dare she let Ji Minyan go find someone alone?
Even if Ji Mingtong tried every means to delay Ji Minyan's progress, he still couldn't compare with Ji Minyan who often practiced martial arts with Abuhanbing.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the two panting, managed to meet Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng who were cuddling intimately together.
Ji Minyan's eyes swept over Ji Xinxue's red and swollen lips, and landed on the folds and scratches of the hem of the clothes, and said straight to the point, "I have something to talk to you alone."
"Why can't I listen?" Ji Mingtong immediately protested.
Ji Minyan was almost pissed to death by this little idiot who specially dragged her back, and only with the last of her rationality did she not anger Yu Heng, saying 'you can listen, only Yu Heng can't listen', and maintained her dignity.
Sensing Ji Minyan's anger, Ji Mingtong immediately ran behind Ji Xinxue, bravely protecting his younger brother, "Grandmother and little grandma are waiting for us. Let's go back to the flower hall first, and then you can whisper."
Ji Xinxue saw Ji Mingtong's brave and timid appearance, as if his whole heart was soaked in warm water.
He exchanged glances with Yu Heng, bowed his head and said in Ji Mingtong's ear, "It just so happens that I have something to tell my sister. You and Feng Lang walk in front, and my sister and I walk behind. Just walk slowly, sure. I won’t make grandma and little grandma wait in a hurry.”
Ji Mingtong nodded, walked around to Yu Heng's side, trying to block Ji Minyan's gaze with Yu Heng's tall figure.
When the eldest sister couldn't pick a son-in-law and was unwilling to get married, she also tried her best to speak up for the elder sister in front of Aye and grandmother.
She is not guilty!
Ji Minyan's attention had long shifted from Ji Mingtong to Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, and she had a panoramic view of the tacit understanding of the two's eye contact.
"Sister" Ji Xinxue raised her arm, motioning for Ji Minyan to join her hand.
The sky does not know when it will start to snow again, if Ji Minyan is wearing high-soled shoes, it is easy to slip.
Ji Minyan's eyes flashed extremely complicated emotions, she coldly rejected Ji Xinxue, and took the lead to take the lead.
Ji Mingtong's guess was right, she was looking for someone fake, but the trouble she was having with Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng was real.
Ji Minyan is willing to intercede for Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng in front of Emperor Changping, the premise is that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng can seek the forgiveness of Emperor Changping, and it is not that they have repeatedly defeated Emperor Changping.
"What happened yesterday?" She turned her head to look at Ji Xinxue, her eyes full of questioning.
Ji Xinxue smiled gently. If he had faced Ji Minyan's cold face yesterday, he might have been very sad.
Fortunately, he only faced the eldest sister's questioning after he had a long talk with Aye today.
How relaxed is Ji Xinxue's mood at this time, how grateful Ji Xinxue was to follow the thoughts in her heart yesterday and go to Princess An's mansion to find Yu Heng.With the help of the most sympathetic person, I can sort out my thoughts as quickly as possible, and come up with the most suitable solution to various current problems.
Among them is the hidden huge conflict between him and Ji Minyan.
First of all, Ji Minyan may not mind the matter between him and Yu Heng.
Only now that he and Ji Jingyu are surrounded by wolves, their status is in jeopardy, and they will completely miss the position of prince at any time, Ji Minyan can temporarily put down his anger towards him and Yu Heng, and turn his thorns towards outsiders.
When Emperor Changping considered his proposal, he would not consider the establishment of a prince for the time being.
Ji Jingyu will be eliminated directly in all likelihood, while he will be "asked to kill after autumn".
The dust of the biggest crisis has settled, but Ji Minyan's wish to keep the crown prince among her brothers and sisters in Qiandi has not been satisfied for a long time.
Ji Minyan would not blame Emperor Changping for this incident, only blame him for not living up to expectations, and blame Yu Heng for ruining his future.There is a very high possibility that because he is in the state of "Qiuhou Wenzhan", he will try his best to separate him and Yu Heng, so as to seek his "acquittal" and become the perfect candidate for the crown prince again.
Secondly, even if Ji Minyan could still keep calm in the face of the deeply obsessed emperor, and didn't resent him and Yu Heng because she couldn't fulfill her long-cherished wish for many years, she would still discover another deception.
Ji Xinxue promised Ji Minyan the day before yesterday that she would do her best to keep the throne among the brothers and sisters who were born in Qiandi.
However, he told Emperor Changping today.
Regardless of whether Emperor Changping chooses the first suggestion: keep a secret edict and use Ji Xinxue to take care of it, and choose the prince after six years.Or the second way: still choose Ji Xinxue as the prince, and allow Ji Xinxue to use adoptive methods to solve the problem of heirs.
Ji Xinxue will choose "virtuous" instead of "relatives", and choose the most suitable person to inherit the painstaking efforts of Emperor Changping.
According to the strange "long crooked" methods of the brothers and sisters in Qiandi, Ji Jingrou and Ji Baoshan may not be able to give birth to a suitable heir...
There is no impenetrable wall in the world, besides, Emperor Changping's trust and reliance on his eldest daughter has always been no less than that of his sons, and Ji Minyan is also sensitive enough.
Maybe at some point, Ji Minyan will notice Ji Xinxue's 'deception'.
If Ji Minyan discovers Ji Xinxue's deception, Ji Xinxue is already the emperor, he can use countless ways to dispel Ji Minyan's concerns and prove that he is right.
If Ji Xinxue was still a princess, prince, princess, or prince at that time... To be honest, Ji Xinxue was not sure that she could stop Ji Minyan's irrational thoughts in time, and she was even more afraid that there would be an irreparable gap in the relationship between brothers and sisters.
In the final analysis, Ji Minyan's biggest concern in the selection of the prince comes from 'party disputes'.
This is also the risk that Ji Xinxue, as the most suitable candidate for the crown prince, is destined not to have a biological child.
Ji Xinxue lowered her head and leaned close to Ji Minyan's ear, a cunning flashed in her eyes, "Aye thought of the late emperor yesterday, that's why I got mad."
First find a common enemy who will definitely attract Ji Minyan's attention, and find a place where Ji Minyan can vent her anger hidden in her heart without any scruples.
At the same time, we started to suppress the layout of the party struggle, trying to make Ji Minyan see the effect during the period of "Qiuhouwenqiu".
Ji Minyan suddenly stopped in her tracks, her tone could not hide her shock, "The first emperor?"
Why did Aye think of the late emperor because of A Xuexi Longyang? Could it be that the late emperor...
She shook her head violently, shaking the strange thought out of her mind.
Even if the first emperor loved Longyang privately, Aye would not be angry about it.
It should be thinking about the fact that Ah Xue was almost used as a medicinal material, and remembering the powerlessness back then.
"Aye said that he must not be the same as the first emperor, and even cried out because of it." Ji Xinxue raised her arms and used her wide sleeves to shield Ji Minyan from the cold wind, and a coldness gradually emerged between her brows, "I didn't sleep all night yesterday, Thinking about Aye's words, I was shocked to realize that the late emperor had passed away for nearly ten years, and he was still bothering Aye like a gangrene."
For so many years, Emperor Changping is like the perfect counterpart of Emperor Yanguang.
After Emperor Yanguang came to the throne, he mutilated the younger brother of one mother, forced his biological mother to death, massacred his half-brothers, and frightened his half-sisters to death.
After Emperor Changping came to the throne, he was not only extremely filial to the Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su, but also extremely benevolent and righteous to the concubines.Changed the title of Princess Dehui, who grew up in front of the Empress Dowager Su, to Huayang, and gave her a land and food.
Although the other honest half-sisters are not as good as the eldest princess Huayang, they finally enjoy the treatment that only emperor daughters can have after the death of their "child-hating" father.Even King Xiang, who once fought against Emperor Changping, was forgiven and cared by Emperor Changping.
If it hadn't been for the Jiang family pushing King Li to be a scapegoat, with Emperor Changping's tolerance, they might not even have attacked King Li who had caused him countless troubles.
Emperor Yanguang was extremely free-wheeling about the affairs of the court, not only the small court meeting never showed up, but the grand court meeting also depended on his mood.
Emperor Changping has been on the throne for nearly ten years, and has never been absent from the Great Court Meeting and the Small Court Meeting due to personal reasons.Compared with the first emperor, he treated himself almost harshly.
Ji Xinxue remembered very clearly that last May, Emperor Changping had to go to the Xiaochaohui despite the dissuasion of the imperial physician because of his greed for cold and cold, and sat with the courtiers who were chattering until the west of the sun.
What was originally just dizziness turned into a high fever.
In the next half month, every time Emperor Changping's condition improved, it would be repeated due to the big court meeting or the small court meeting, and it took nearly two decades to fully recover.
If Emperor Changping had listened to the imperial physician's advice at the very beginning, he would have recovered in just two days.
Emperor Yanguang had a small belly, and was extremely harsh on those who served him, beating and scolding at every turn, even punching and kicking, taking pleasure in punishing the palace servants.
Emperor Changping was just the opposite, he was a benevolent emperor who restrained himself.
Ji Xinxue saw with her own eyes that Emperor Changping was unhappy because the palace servants destroyed the things he had loved for many years, but in the end he just kicked the palace servants out of Fengxiang Palace, and allowed the palace servants to take away the money and treasures they had accumulated over the years.
Regarding the treatment of Mo Yao and Bai Qianli, Emperor Changping was even more magnanimous rarely seen in history books.
……
One thing, two things can be said to be a coincidence.
However, Emperor Changping was completely opposite to Emperor Yanguang in every way.
Especially last year, Emperor Changping knew that there were no important matters in the Dachaohui and the Xiaochaohui. Whether or not he sat in person would not affect the overall situation.
No matter how you look at it, it's not normal.
Ji Xinxue's prediction was right, Ji Minyan hated Emperor Yanguang no less than he and Yu Heng.
As he cited more and more things, the anger on Ji Minyan's face became more and more intense, and unconsciously, she completely forgot what she originally wanted to say to Ji Xinxue.
"Sister, we have to help Aye completely get rid of the shadow of the late emperor." Ji Xinxue stared into Ji Minyan's eyes with burning eyes.
Ji Minyan's eyes were full of trust in Ji Xinxue, and she said in a firm tone, "You already have an idea."
Although there will be almost no footprints of the Jinwu Guard in the Tranquility Palace, Ji Xinxue still kept her voice to a minimum.
A vaguely smiling voice came out of Ji Xinxue's mouth and entered Ji Minyan's ears, even the falling snowflakes couldn't detect a single word.
"Aye is wise and mighty, destined to be famous in history, and I can't let irrelevant people tarnish Aye's reputation."
Ji Minyan's heartbeat became faster and faster, and the light in her eyes could almost melt the flying snow in the air.
She didn't even dare to breathe harder, for fear of missing any breath sounds.
Ash was right!
The first emperor was so harsh on Aye, why should he take Aye's glory in the history books as a matter of course?
Ji Minyan looked up at her younger brother who was already half a head taller than her, and could already guess what Ji Xinxue would say next.
She felt that the thoughts in her mind should not exist, but she also desperately hoped that she had guessed correctly and wanted to be confirmed by Ji Xinxue.
"Abolish the temple title of the first emperor, and degrade him as a commoner." Ji Xinxue raised the corners of her mouth, with a cold smile in her eyes, "Aye, you are an emperor, why would you waste time on a sinner who has been stinking for thousands of years, right?"
