I was a princess in ancient times

On the birthday of the British princess, Ji Xinxue pondered for a long while in front of the closet, but finally did not choose the moon-white robe that almost occupied his entire line of sight, and took out a well-regulated sapphire blue uniform.

He chose a pair of golden koi inlaid with ruby ​​fish scales to hang around his waist, and casually ordered, "Add an enamel clock to the birthday gift."

It should be Qingyun, lowering his eyes to suppress the surprise in his eyes.

Ever since His Highness and the County King asked His Majesty to allow them to marry at the Great Court Meeting, His Highness's concern for the British government has been far greater than before.

Although His Highness presented the secret recipe for firing enamel and the blueprint for making Luozhong a few years ago, the once hard-to-find enamel and Luozhong have gradually become precious but not rare objects like huanghuali furniture.But today, only An Ye can make enamel clocks.

His Highness is extremely filial, as long as all the enamel clocks that can pass various inspections and leave the Anye kiln, seven tenths will go directly to His Majesty's private treasury, and the remaining three will be sent to Yuhe Palace.

Others want enamel clocks and can only count on the generosity of His Majesty or Your Highness.

This is the first time His Highness has let go, and wants to send a bell on the birthday of his wife.

Ji Xinxue was distracted thinking about Qi Baixuan who was about to arrive in Chang'an, and completely ignored Qingyun's little thought, and had already thought of asking the palace people below to be more courteous to the people in the British government, so as not to make him unhappy.

As far as he knew, Qi Baixuan's face was very ugly when he was promoted to the imperial edict of Honglu Temple Minister.Thanks to the receipt of several letters from the British government, I did not do the stupid thing of bargaining with the official.

I hope Qi Boxuan can be more sensible, and don't try to order Yu Heng as his biological father.

Otherwise... Although the British government is easy to use, it is not without substitutes.

Presumably, the Jiangnan Yu clan, who had already moved their family to Huazhou, was willing to "work hard" to get an amnesty from Emperor Changping to allow them to enter the court through the imperial examination.

When it was time to go out, Ji Xinxue suddenly remembered that there were still important matters that he had not explained, so he turned to Qingyun and said, "Everything in the backyard will be handled according to the old rules."

Qingyun knew that Ji Xinxue was very concerned about the things in the backyard, and Chao Ji Xinxue was cautious to confirm whether she had misunderstood the meaning of the words, "The fief sent a few carts of winter pears, and I have already allocated the shares to the palace and princesses. By the way Bring it to Princess Jinming."

Ji Xinxue nodded casually, and walked straight to the door.

Maybe someone will stare at him secretly, but there will never be a fool who will spend the same effort on Ji Mingtong.

The best proof is that Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng have agreed to each other for nearly three years and have not been discovered.

Ji Xinxue can guarantee it.

If he and Yu Heng connected with each other, he would not confess immediately in the court.

In less than three months, all kinds of rumors about him and Yu Heng will spread throughout the court.

How can it be possible to hide the feeling of mutual gratification?

Therefore, Ji Xinxue's failed preparations for "Auspiciousness" were not left in Yuhe Palace, but were packed and sent to Ji Mingtong's residence in the shortest possible time.

For example, ropes made of various strange materials, latex and resin from the south, shells from the east coast, special fabrics from the north, unique gemstones from the western regions... There are even materials for making gouache and a large amount of purified vinegar .

So far, only shells have worked as he expected.

There is only half a month left before the imperial mausoleum worships the ancestors, maybe he should change his mind.

Mo Yao, Bai Qianli... After all, there is still a lot of difference between these two people.

Ji Xinxue raised her head and looked thoughtfully at the general who was guarding the door with a golden knife.

It is far easier to solve Mo Yao than to solve the flaw.

Under normal circumstances, only ancestor worship can be regarded as a major event in the twelfth lunar month. It will gradually become lively when Emperor Changping seals the pen and all the prefectures begin to prepare various feasts for the New Year.

This year is considered a special situation, catching up with the great victory in Northern Xinjiang, since the Guannei Army arrived in Chang'an, the whole Chang'an has been unusually lively.

Several rounds of various banquets were held, and there was no end in sight.

The conflict between the courtiers in Chang'an and the upstarts in Northern Xinjiang became more and more serious during the banquets, revealing a ferocious appearance.

In a word, no one can look down on anyone.

The courtiers of Chang'an felt that the upstarts in northern Xinjiang were rising too fast, and even relied on Emperor Changping's preferential treatment to overwhelm them in a faint manner.

The upstarts in Northern Xinjiang are not fools, so how could they fail to notice the change in the attitude of the courtiers in Chang'an.

They also look down on the courtiers of Chang'an, thinking that the courtiers of Chang'an are treacherous foxes who know that they are not as brave as tigers but want to overwhelm the tigers, and keep slandering the real dragon.

I don't know when, every time there is a big court meeting, both sides will pick out many faults of each other because of trivial matters, insisting on asking Emperor Changping to tell who is right and who is wrong.

Ji Jingyu likes to see harmony in the court the most, and will always take the initiative to stand up to smooth things over, trying to turn the upstarts in northern Xinjiang and the courtiers in Chang'an into friendship.

It's a pity that his ears are too soft, because he has been with most of the generals of the Guannei army day and night, and he will always unconsciously fall into the verbal trap of the upstarts in northern Xinjiang.Obviously trying to persuade the fight from an impartial standpoint, but in the end somehow turned into a complaint for the upstarts in northern Xinjiang.

Ji Xinxue witnessed the whole process of Ji Jingyu's wet shoes by the river, and felt that it was outrageous.

In this matter, Ji Jingyu is not even as good as Ji Mingtong.

Because Ji Mingtong knew how many weights he had, he would never open his mouth to give Chang'an courtiers and Northern Xinjiang upstarts a chance to drag her into the water.

A Buhanbing also had a close relationship with the generals of the Hebei Army.

As long as someone wants to coax him to speak, he pretends not to understand Yu Chao's official language, and repeats what others have said to him with a blank face.

If he hadn't seen the scene where Abuhanbing promised Emperor Changping that he would take good care of Ji Minyan, he answered fluently and even quoted scriptures, maybe Ji Xinxue would really believe in Abuhanbing's evil.

Also getting along day and night with the generals of the Guannei Army, Yu Heng's personal friendship with the generals of the Guannei Army... far exceeds that of Ji Jingyu.

No matter how vicious their attitudes were when the upstarts in Northern Xinjiang and the courtiers of Chang'an found fault with each other, they never tried to pull Yuheng into the water, and even when Ji Jingyu subconsciously looked at Yu Heng, they calmly pulled Ji Jingyu's attention back force.

It is clear at a glance who is a 'true brother' and who is a 'tool man'.

Ji Xinxue looked at his silly elder brother with melancholy eyes, and found helplessly that Ji Jingyu was not completely unaware that the Northern Xinjiang generals were taking advantage of his petty thinking.

With Ji Jingyu's generosity, not only can he accommodate the small thoughts of the generals of Beijiang, but also feel from the bottom of his heart that the generals of Beijiang are right.That's why he ignores the status quo that he is not a human being inside and outside, and speaks for the generals of Northern Xinjiang again and again in the big and small courts.

Emperor Changping sat on a high place, he could see all the expressions of the people below, and suddenly felt itchy in his back teeth.

He has long recognized the simplicity and honesty of his eldest son, and he is not disappointed with his recent behavior, and he does not intend to force his eldest son to change.

Such a sincere character is suitable to be a virtuous king who can assist the hero.

What disappointed him was Ji Minyan.

Emperor Changping has noticed that Ji Xinxue gave up supporting Ji Jingyu to become the prince after talking with him, but he never told Ji Minyan.

The reason... Ji Xinxue knew in her heart that Ji Minyan could not accept such a result until he could prove that no matter who became the crown prince, the life of the sons of the hidden mansion would not change.He didn't want to have a fruitless quarrel with Ji Minyan, so he chose to temporarily put this matter aside.

In Ji Minyan's mind, Ji Jingyu is still the best candidate to inherit the crown prince.

Song Nian quietly put the Baihuo Kucha by Emperor Changping's hand.

Emperor Changping picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp, looking at Yu Heng who seemed to be dozing off with complicated eyes.

He originally thought that among the juniors who grew up around him, Ji Xinxue and Ji Minyan were the smartest.Because of Ji Xinxue's broad mind and free and easy personality, she is less restrained, so she is better than the eldest daughter.

Ji Jingyu, Yu Heng, Ji Jingrou, Ji Cheng, Ji Mingtong, and Huayang are slightly behind.

Among these people, Ji Jingyu worked the hardest, so he was at the forefront.

Yu Heng is more than intelligent, but he is hard to change if he doesn't want to make progress. Ji Cheng and Ji Jingrou are still undecided, and they want to make progress but have not made up their minds to make progress. Ji Mingtong and Hua Yang don't mention it.

Now it seems that he was the one who missed.

In order to argue with Ji Jingyu about who is right and who is wrong, Ji Minyan watched Ji Jingyu frequently make mistakes in the court, completely ignoring that her most important things have been taken away by the silent Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue Walk.

Originally, the courtiers in Chang'an had unknowingly favored Ji Jingyu because of Ji Xinxue's public statement that he would complete the marriage contract and marry Yu Heng.

Even if Emperor Changping disclosed Xiao Ning's life experience, it did not shake the Chang'an courtiers' thinking.

After all, Emperor Changping has only three sons so far, one is young and adopted, and the other is deeply involved in Longyang.Not to mention that Ji Jingyu chose to marry the offspring of a hero as his concubine, even if he married a woman of a different race as his concubine, he would still be the most secure and reliable among his brothers.

Ji Minyan, who wanted Ji Jingyu to be the crown prince the most, watched Ji Jingyu get farther and farther away from the crown prince because of fighting spirit, without realizing it.

She thought that Ji Jingyu would temporarily offend the courtiers of Chang'an who had no other choice by speaking for the generals of Northern Xinjiang now, but he could maintain his prestige among the generals of Northern Xinjiang.

What he did was just not wise, but not stupid either.

Little did he know that the northern generals had already made a choice between Ji Jingyu and Yu Heng, and the courtiers in Chang'an were also heartbroken by Ji Jingyu, and looked at Ji Xinxue frequently.

Yu Heng finally noticed the line of sight from above, looked up, his black and white eyes were clear, only calm.

After a long time, the anger in Emperor Changping's eyes eased slightly, and he looked away as if nothing had happened, and a few invisible loves flashed quickly in his eyes.

He didn't believe that the current situation had nothing to do with Yu Heng.

However, as long as Yu Heng didn't plot against Ji Jingyu and just did his own thing, Emperor Changping would not feel that Yu Heng was at fault.

Fighting for power is a matter of the weak preying on the strong.

If Yu Heng, who has been unmotivated for many years, did not start to change because he wanted to stay with Ji Xinxue, Emperor Changping would be more pleased.

No matter how Jin Wuwei investigates, Yu Heng can be regarded as innocent.

He just performed so well in the process of "accompanying the prince to study", so that the northern generals were more partial to him, and subconsciously considered his situation to avoid embarrassing him.

Because of Yu Heng's beating, the northern generals even voluntarily gave up trying to encourage Ji Jingyu to sidestep.

Emperor Changping used the cover of the imperial case to strangle the tiger's mouth. It was his stupid son who saw the injustice and insisted on protecting the weak and strong man who had just arrived.

It wasn't until the sun gradually turned to the west that Emperor Changping, amidst the voices of everyone pleading for the decision, issued fifty warnings to those who provoked the trouble as always.

Ji Xinxue shook her head as she watched the eye contact between the courtiers full of swords and swords.

Before the two sides have no distinction, the process of the Great Court will hardly change significantly.

Unless he perfects his plan to establish a stable mutual market in northern Xinjiang as soon as possible, the courtiers in Chang'an and the generals in northern Xinjiang will change from quarrels over trivial matters to real interests.

If the interests are big enough, they are afraid that there will be too little time to bury their heads in the fight for the profits, so how can they have time to quarrel?

Ji Xinxue ignored the British Duke's earnest gaze, grabbed Yu Heng's arm and strode out.

You can go to the British government to celebrate the birthday of the British wife, and meet Qi Baixuan, the most beautiful man in Chang'an, but you don't have to go with the British government.

Sensing the carriage started to move, Ji Xinxue immediately lay on Yu Heng's shoulder, and said in a barely audible voice, "I thought about it carefully, if I can't be perfect in things, I can only find a way from people."

With the consent of Emperor Changping, he has made many arrangements in the imperial mausoleum.

According to the original plan, when the imperial mausoleum offered sacrifices to the ancestors, there would suddenly be "celestial music" from all directions, golden light from the sky and roars of various beasts, and finally dragon roars and dragon scales and jade pendants revealed from the golden light.

Now that the 'Xianle', all kinds of animal roars, and dragon roars have been prepared, he uses private guards to hide countless copper pipes in all directions of the ancestor worship place.

No matter how sensitive the Jinwuwei's ears are, they can only hear the sound of the brass pipes, and cannot distinguish the positions of the 'voice actors'.

When this matter is over, the copper pipes are pulled to the enamel kiln, which is environmentally friendly and affordable.

In fact, this is the copper pipe to be supplied to the enamel kiln.

Golden Light from Heaven and Dragon Scale are also in the final stage of debugging.

As long as Qin Tianjian doesn't roll over on the day of the ancestor worship, and chooses a cloudy day by mistake, Ji Xinxue will not roll over.

Embody gold light in the way that high-purity natural diamonds refract sunlight.

In a short period of time, the Jinwu Guard may find the diamonds that have been integrated into the environment, but it is too late to track down the person who cast sunlight on the first diamond in the distance.

As early as when Emperor Changping came to the throne, Ji Xinxue had planned to arrange auspicious scenes, and prepared many things one after another like ants moving house, including the dragon scales in the imperial tomb's ancestor worship plan.

The raw material of the dragon scale is the deep sea shell in the south.

People in this era only polished seashells or conch shells for decoration, usually only in villages and towns near the sea.No one knows yet, but carefully polishing all the unevenness of the deep sea shells can result in natural ornaments that glow in the sun.

Ji Xinxue once sent people to the fishing villages on the southeast coast to look for big shells, as long as they were big enough, there was no other requirement at all.

He and Yu Heng personally selected the shells with colorful light to keep, carefully explained to the craftsman how to polish them, and then racked their brains to think about what the dragon scale should look like.

It took really five years to get five 'dragon scales' of different sizes, with five colors on the front and back in the sun.

Ji Xinxue chose from thousands of choices, and decided to use the largest "Dragon Scale" with a white background as one of the protagonists of this auspicious event.

The current problem is how the dragon scale and jade pendant fell from the sky in full view.

Ji Xinxue first thought of a gliding aircraft, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that it did not fit the miracle, so she gave up the idea.

Then he thought about hot air balloons.

Ji Xinxue tried to use latex tree sap, natural resin and pine resin to make balloons, and then made hydrogen gas from purified vinegar and lead powder.

Repeated battles and repeated defeats, repeated defeats and repeated battles, can only give up.

During this period, Ji Xinxue also thought about designing organs underground, looking for other spiritual animals, and trying to make sky-swapping monkeys...

Thinking about it now, putting Mo Yao to death in Chang'an was the most time-saving and labor-saving way.

Without this keen and stubborn person, other people would not raise objections even if they felt that the process of the miracle was a little subtle.

After all, this is a miracle, or the authentic work of the ancestors and the real dragon affirming the achievements of Emperor Changping.

Wouldn't denying the existence of miracles be the same as denying the achievements of Emperor Changping?

Yu Heng subconsciously hugged Ji Xinxue's waist, so as not to make Ji Xinxue feel uncomfortable due to the unstable carriage.

The unfamiliar touch and intimacy not only made Yu Heng's eyes gradually freeze, but even his voice became hoarse quietly, "What should I do?"

Ji Xinxue resisted the desire to speak, and raised her hand to write on Yu Heng's back.

The seemingly invisible touch was transmitted to Yu Heng along the slightly heavy winter clothes, disturbing Yu Heng's mind.He obviously wanted to know what Ji Xinxue wrote, but there was another voice in his heart tirelessly urging him to stop Ji Xinxue's actions.

So much so that when Ji Xinxue put down her hands and raised her head with sparkling eyes, Yu Heng's eyes were only blank.

Ji Xinxue did not criticize Yu Heng for being slow.

He looked at Yu Heng from top to bottom, his eyes lingering behind his red ears for a while.From the half-lying posture on Yu Heng's body, to sitting close to Yu Heng's thigh in a small corner.He reached out again and wrote on Yu Heng's thigh.

From such an angle, even if Yu Heng still couldn't distinguish the handwriting he left by touch, he could still see it with his eyes.

Ji Xinxue thought absently.

Next time I see Imperial Physician Zhu, ask Feng Lang why the back of his ears are always red.

I don't know if Chinese medicine in this era has a way to prepare for the measurement of allergens.

At the same time, outside the carriage.

Yan Meng, who was riding a horse and following outside the carriage, suddenly stopped her back, and turned her head like a young tiger that suddenly woke up to look at the carriage that suddenly trembled violently.

"Your Highness?" Worry appeared on her brows, "Jun Wang?"

"It's okay!" Ji Xinxue, who was concentrating on writing, said without raising her head.

Yan Meng's tense shoulders and neck gradually relaxed, and she reminded, "The carriage is already heavy, your Highness should be separated from the Duke."

As soon as these words came out, the guards around the carriage turned their heads to look at the carriage.

Neither Ji Xinxue nor Yu Heng wanted to give the British government any extra face, so they didn't use the princess ceremonial guard or the county king's ceremonial guard, and only used ordinary carriages that went between the imperial palace and Princess Anguo's mansion.

Because the frame is so light, when both of them are sitting in the right corner, there is a very noticeable weight bias from the outside.

The atmosphere outside the carriage gradually became strange, but the people inside the carriage did not notice it.

Ji Xinxue rubbed her back in a perfunctory manner, even if she responded to Yan Meng's words, almost all her attention was devoted to the hand that was writing on Yu Heng's thigh.

Yan Meng dreamed that the condition of the carriage did not improve, thinking that the people inside hadn't heard her clearly, so she spoke again with a much louder voice than before.

"His Royal Highness is separated from the county king, the carriage is already heavy."

If the carriage is not restored to normal in time, the carriage may suddenly tip over halfway.

The guard on Yan Meng's right coughed, tightened his reins calmly, and gradually fell behind Yan Meng.

Seeing this, the guard on the other side grasped the reins subconsciously, and said hesitantly, "General Zhonglang, no, there is no need to be so loud."

"Why?" Yan Meng frowned, "What if your Highness and the county king didn't hear it?"

The guards looked around, deeply feeling that they could not do this kind of reasoning with Aunt Jinwuwei's aunt, and they had to let the strong men of Jinwuwei come.

However, everyone who met his gaze turned their heads at the same time, and some even couldn't wait to step up their horses' bellies to explore the way ahead.

Seeing that Yan Meng didn't get a response, he not only wanted to continue to remind, but also reached out to lift the curtain on the car window. The guard was shocked, and quickly stopped Yan Meng with the saber at his waist.

"Grandma! Your Highness and the county king..." Inconvenient!

The guard's eyes wandered back and forth, and finally found the right words, "In case His Highness and the Duke are disturbed, the brothers will follow suit."

Yan Meng patted away the scabbard that was blocking her hand, and anger gradually spread in her eyes, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your Highness and the county king are the most magnanimous, how could they get angry because of such a trivial matter!"

at the same time.

Ji Xinxue was so frightened by the sudden soprano that her hands slipped, and she was caught off guard by the banner of the Chinese army.

"Isn't it..." Feeling the touch that shouldn't exist, the apology he hadn't finished condensed suddenly, and his unbelievable eyes flicked across Yu Heng's slender eyelashes, which were as long as crow feathers, and fell behind his almost glowing red ears .

Red ears, the flag of the Chinese army.

Chinese army banner, red ears?

Many images suddenly appeared in Ji Xinxue's mind.

He blew on Yu Heng's eyes and found that Yu Heng's ears suddenly turned red.

At that time, he thought that Yu Heng had come across something he was allergic to.

He woke up from a nap and found that Yu Heng was lying beside him pretending to sleep, his ears were as red as fine rubies.

At that time, he thought that Yu Heng was suffering from allergies, so he pretended to be asleep.

……

The smile in Ji Xinxue's eyes grew from nothing and quickly spread to every corner, as beautiful as a night full of stars.

He leaned close to Yu Heng, who couldn't hide his embarrassment, and nibbled on the earlobe that was "allergic" without warning, and there was joyful surprise hidden in his suddenly enlightened tone, "So your allergen is... um."

Like a beast that has been waiting for a long time, Yu Heng shows the posture of a hunter when the prey takes the initiative to provoke him, which can be called a steady and ruthless direct attack.

Ji Xinxue wrapped her arms around Yu Heng's neck with her backhand, and kissed back passionately.

Sneak attack without warning, punish him for allergies!

The change of the carriage once again caught the attention of Yan Meng and the surrounding guards.

Yan Meng stared fixedly at the carriage which was returning to normal at a very slow speed, and asked, "Is there something wrong with the carriage?"

The guard, who was about to sneak away while Yan Meng wasn't paying attention, kept smiling with difficulty, "General Zhonglang is too worried, there will be a special person to check the carriage every time before departure."

"Then why did it fall back so slowly?" Yan Meng hit the point straight, "Shouldn't it return to normal immediately when His Highness or the county king changes positions?"

Unable to laugh, he could only fake a smile, the guard shook his head dully, "I don't know."

Yan Meng shook her head in distaste, secretly thinking that it would be too risky to use a light-framed carriage for convenience.

She raised her hand to the car curtain again, "Let me ask."

Another guard stopped Yan Meng, and said in a solemn voice, "Maybe it's because of the posture of His Highness and the county king that the carriage fell back so slowly."

Yan Meng responded, looking thoughtfully at the carriage that had completely returned to normal, "What posture will..."

"General Zhonglang!" The sweaty guard quickly interrupted Yan Meng's "[-] whys", "The king of the county will drive to the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors in the last ten days, will you accompany?"

Yan Meng shook her head, "I want to stay in Chang'an to protect His Highness, and Li Jinhuan and Lin Wei should accompany me."

They have demonstrated their skills for many years in the Northern Xinjiang Great Victory, and they have obtained corresponding official positions. This time, going to the imperial mausoleum with the county king will not only protect the county king, but also the glory of entering the court for the first time.

The guards didn't dare to pause, and immediately responded, "General Li and Lieutenant Lin..."

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage entered along the gate of the British government and stopped in front of the second gate.

The former prince of the United Kingdom, Deputy Qi, Princess Yiyun and Mrs. Zheng are waiting here in person.

The guards of Princess An's Mansion surrounded the carriage calmly, not giving anyone from the British government any chance to get close to the carriage.

Yan Meng was always thinking about the sudden weight of the carriage and its slow fall, so she personally lifted the curtain to ask Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng to get off, worrying that the two of them would encounter difficulties on the road that would be inconvenient for them to speak out.

She saw that Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue were sitting on both sides of the carriage, and there was almost no difference from when they got in the carriage except for a little red face, so she completely let go of her worries.

Ji Xinxue had a guilty conscience and was not as thick-skinned as Yu Heng, so it was really hard for her to bear Yan Meng's probing gaze, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Meng said slowly, "Just now the carriage was suddenly on the heavy side for a long time, and then slowly fell back, was your Highness surprised?"
