I was a princess in ancient times

Ji Xinxue remembered the reminder she heard when she was whispering to Yu Heng, and the smile at the corner of her mouth suddenly froze.

If he remembered correctly, ever since Yan Meng reminded them that the carriage was heavy, the whispers outside the carriage never stopped.

Is it...

Due to his rich imagination, Ji Xinxue subconsciously imagined him staring at Yu Heng's red ears, and the guard outside the carriage staring at the carriage.

Worry appeared in Yan Meng's eyes again, "Your Highness, why are your ears red..."

Yu Heng suddenly got up to stand between Yan Meng and Ji Xinxue, and interrupted her just right, "It's a bit stuffy in the carriage. Let's go down first, we shouldn't keep the elders waiting."

Yan Meng heard the words, immediately let go of the past, took a few steps back, and gave way to the carriage door.

Ji Xinxue adjusted her breathing calmly, and quickly jumped out of the carriage with her burning ears in her ears. She almost couldn't wait to go to the British government, and did not give Yan Meng any chance to ask questions again.

As long as Yan Meng doesn't speak, he won't be frightened.

Whether it is the former British Crown Prince and Yiyun Princess, or Qi Fuwei and Zheng Shi, because of the vacant position of the British Crown Prince and Qi Baixuan who is about to arrive in Chang'an, they are deeply wary of Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue. .

Although the smile on the corner of the mouth was extremely enthusiastic, the obvious unnaturalness in the depths of the eyes could not fool Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng who dealt with the old foxes in the court all day long.

Fortunately, today is the birthday of the British Duchess.

Even if the former British prince and his wife wanted to please Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue, they didn't have much free time to spend on them.

After the two parties greeted each other, Princess Yiyun and Mrs. Zheng surrounded Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng respectively, and went to the main room where the British princess lived.

Because Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue had long stated that they would come to celebrate the British Duchess's birthday in person, and this year happened to be the British Duchess's full birthday, the number of guests at the British Duchess was nearly three times that of last year and today.

The guests who were admiring the flowers in the garden found the traces of the distinguished guests one after another, and while blessing and bowing in the direction of Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng from afar, meaningful lights flashed in their eyes.

When the sudden uproar broke out and the silence was completely restored, the corners gradually sounded with endless whispers.

"I heard that the Minister of Honglu Temple will be able to arrive in Chang'an today."

"Look at the faces of Princess Yiyun and Mrs. Zheng."

"The last time the British Duke celebrated his birthday, the Prince of Xianglin never showed up in the backyard. I don't know if he will take the initiative to accompany the guests today."

……

Previously, people from the British government were invited to visit Princess Anguo's mansion on the second day after Yu Heng returned to Chang'an from northern Xinjiang.

Not only failed to coax Yu Heng to support the members of the Qi clan with military merits, but inexplicably aroused Yu Heng's emotions, so that Yu Heng coughed up blood due to old wounds and fell into a coma. The entire Qi clan was angered by Emperor Changping and had to close the door reflect.

It was because of this that Yu Heng could not stop Yu Heng from asking Emperor Changping to allow Qi Baixuan, who had left Chang'an to go to the south of the Yangtze River for more than ten years, to be transferred back to Chang'an.

Yu Heng received the imperial decree from Qi Baixuan to move left to Honglu Temple, and personally went to the British government to report the letter.

He stood beside the stone lion in front of the British government for half an hour, and Ji Xinxue rushed to take him away.

In just a few days, Chang'an courtiers and people made the most reasonable guesses based on what happened between Yu Heng and the British government.

Xianglin County King missed his father whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years, and wanted to ask Emperor Changping to show mercy and transfer Qi Baixuan back to Chang'an to serve.When he came back from northern Xinjiang, he immediately dragged his seriously injured body to entertain the people of his father's family, which shows that he attaches great importance to this matter.

It's a pity that the British Duke and his wife, for some reason, did not agree with their youngest son, who has been wandering abroad for more than ten years, to return to Chang'an.

There was a fierce dispute between the two sides, and the king of Xianglin County was so angry that he implicated his unhealed injury, so that he coughed up blood and fell into a coma.

Although Emperor Changping favored the King of Xianglin County, he always had clear rewards and punishments.Those who ordered the banning of the British government were only because they committed crimes against the royal family and the county king.

Therefore, the king of Xianglin County and the people of the British government broke up unhappy, and still insisted that when the Great Court Council asked Emperor Changping to allow Qi Baixuan to be transferred back to Chang'an, Emperor Changping would have the idea of ​​appeasing the grievances in the heart of King Xianglin, and deliberately vacated The official post of Minister of Honglu Temple was given to Qi Baixuan who had been an official for more than ten years and had not made any achievements.

Such a guess, the more you think about it, the more reasonable it is.

The more reasonable and reasonable, the wider the scope of dissemination.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the old foxes in the imperial court believed in the rumors that suddenly emerged, and even secretly filled in the missing parts of the rumors in their hearts.

Why did the British father-in-law and his wife disagree that their youngest son, who has been wandering abroad for more than ten years, should return to Chang'an?

It must be because the position of the eldest son has not been settled for a long time.

Leaving aside the dispute between the big room and the third room.

As the youngest son, Qi Boxuan was very likely to become the first son when the eldest brother was abolished and the second brother was a piece of mud that couldn't support the wall.He also has a clan king and the eldest son of a celebrity in front of Emperor Changping.

It's fine if he is not in Chang'an, if he returns to Chang'an, maybe one day Xianglin County King will do a very beautiful errand, which will make Changping Emperor Long's heart happy.

Emperor Changping would reward Qi Boxuan with the title of the British Duke, as if he had made the grandmother and mother of the Xianglin County Princess Princess because of his military achievements.

The British couple are parents, and seeing that their youngest son already has the son of the county king as their support, it is natural to want to leave the largest family property to other heirs.

I don't know what Qi Baixuan himself is thinking now, who has just been promoted to the Minister of Honglu Temple with his precious son.

The guests, who are not too serious about watching the excitement, have varying degrees of excitement in the depths of their eyes, secretly looking forward to seeing the demeanor of the most beautiful man in Chang'an in the past.

Standing beside the most beautiful woman in Chang'an, the king of Xianglin County is not inferior.

As the biological father of the King of Xianglin County, Qi Boxuan was even more obsessed with skins when she was young. Princess Lu would rather go against Princess Qin and marry him.

Counting the age, Qi Boxuan and Emperor Changping are only a few years apart, so they can be regarded as the same age.Doesn't this mean that he overwhelmed Emperor Changping and won the title of the most beautiful man in Chang'an?

……

The curiosity of the guests became more and more vigorous, and they gave up the scenery in the garden one after another, and returned to the flower hall of the main house together.

They would rather huddle with other people in the flower hall, relying on the smell of spices to continue their lives, but also satisfy their curiosity in the first place.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng arrived at the flower hall half a step later than the guests because Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng met the British prince who hurried over in the corridor.

The British duchess wore heavy makeup according to her style, wore five layers of court clothes, and a crown of eight phoenixes and seven feathers on her head.

Mrs. Zheng quietly withdrew from the crowd, and personally held two futons and placed them in front of the British Duke and Duchess and the British Duke who had just sat down, and said with a smile, "My mother has been looking forward to the King and His Highness since dawn. Zhong is about to ask once if the county king and His Royal Highness have entered the door. After thinking about it for a few hours, it finally made my mother look forward to the real person."

The guards following Yu Heng strode forward in the eerie silence, occupying the futon firmly, and said in unison, "I wish the old lady a blessing like the East China Sea and a longevity like the South Mountain."

Except for Zheng Shi who was shocked by the guards who rushed over suddenly, and retreated again and again, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, and cast angry and contemptuous glances at Zheng Shi.

It is reasonable to want the king of Xianglin to kneel down to worship his birthday. After all, the British lady is the grandmother of the king of Xianglin.

He even dared to take two futons, implying that His Royal Highness Fifth also knelt down to pray for his birthday.

Could it be that the rumors that the British wife prefers the Zheng family are all lies. The Zheng family has long held a grudge against the British lady, so she wanted to take this opportunity to kill the British lady?

Ji Xinxue had a panoramic view of the faces of the people in the British government, and as if nothing had happened, she took out the gift slip from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Mrs. Zheng, "It's just a small gift, I hope the British princess will accept it with a smile."

The last time he noticed Zheng's was in the sixth year of Changping, when Qi Yanhe was implicated because of the Kange matter.

Although the Zheng family at that time could not be compared with the unfathomable Empress Dowager Su, she could still be regarded as a smart person who could hold her breath.At least he can firmly control the British government, forcing the British government to go against his will and spend all his money to get Qi Yanhe from the clan's government.

In just two short years, Mrs. Zheng has become so short-sighted.Because he felt Qi Boxuan's threat to the position of the son, he couldn't wait to provoke Yu Heng and the British princess with stupid means that were not very good.

Could it be that after the British government learned the lessons of the six years of Changping, the way to train the Zheng family is to raise the Zheng family to be stupid?

It turns out that it takes a long time for smart people to become completely stupid.

Mrs. Zheng took the gift list and immediately trot to the side of the British Duchess.

She first praised the items recorded in the gift list from the beginning, and then hinted in words that Ji Xinxue gave such an important gift because she respected the British princess.With just a few words, the British princess, who had a cold look in her eyes, stretched her brows and smiled again.

"If I remember correctly, only the concubine of Qinghe County and the princesses of the clan have received His Royal Highness's enamel clock. Among the married women, you are the first one to receive the enamel clock on your birthday!" Beside the lady, he raised his finger high.

Not only the British princess was happy to hear this, but the smile on Ji Xinxue's face gradually became real.

He not only gave enamel clocks to the royal family members, but also rewarded courtiers and wives.

Zheng's skillful use of language skills insisted on saying that "birthday" received the first copy of the enamel clock, and the British Duchess really deserved it.

The guests in the flower hall were happy to see Mrs. Ying and Ji Xinxue, and they did not hesitate to say a few good words on the birthday of the birthday.

All of a sudden, the entire flower hall was full of words such as 'Madame', 'Send the bell', and 'Friendship'.

Yu Heng pondered for a moment, then took out the gift list and handed it to Qingzhu.

He said to the British princess, "The fiefdom has just sent a Luo clock inlaid with agate stones. I thought I would send it to you after the craftsman carefully checked the team. It happens to be a pair with the enamel clock that Axue sent."

Although he didn't know why Ah Xue was happy because the guests joined in the fun, he hoped that Ah Xue's joy would last longer.

The smiles on the faces of the guests were slightly stagnant, and they subconsciously thought of the messy relationship between King Xianglin and His Highness the Fifth Highness.

Tsk, gifts have to come in pairs.

Except for the very mature and prudent people who shut up silently, the others were more eager to join in the fun.

They didn't have the guts to please Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng by implying that they were made in heaven, so they could only start with the enamel clock and Luo bell, using the bell as a metaphor, and secretly scratching Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng's itches.

As a 'tool man', the British Duchess also followed suit, laughing from ear to ear amidst many compliments.

No one dared to think that she wanted to be close to Yu Heng, but Yu Heng mocked her for her insignificant things.

She threw the enamel clock and agate clock on the man's face!

If it wasn't for Feng Lang's filial piety, how could His Royal Highness take the initiative to give her the bell?

Ji Xinxue was surprised by Yu Heng's words, and quickly put down the teacup in hand.

Sending clocks for birthdays can make a pair?

Simply poisonous.

He held back tenaciously for several breaths, but in the end he couldn't completely hold back the continuous smile, and he turned sideways to cover the lower half of his face with Yu Heng's broad shoulders.

While no one would think there was anything wrong with his smile, but...

It wasn't until the descendants of Qinghe County Prince's Mansion and Ji Cheng came to celebrate the birthday that the bustle in the flower hall suddenly subsided.

Everyone is not a fool.

The person who can't hear His Highness the Fifth Highness being compatible with Xianglin County King the most may not be His Majesty, but the second person who can't hear this must be Qinghe County King or Qinghe County Prince's son.

Prince Sun of Qinghe County and Ji Cheng felt that the atmosphere was not right, and they all cast questioning glances at Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng.

Ji Xinxue raised her hand to cover her mouth and shook her head at the two.

Today, for the sake of him and Yu Heng, there seem to be a lot of people who came to celebrate the birthday of the British Duchess.

"Duke! Madame! Liu Lang is back!"

A voice full of joy spread from the courtyard to the room, and the cracking attracted everyone's attention.

Ji Xinxue looked at Yu Heng subconsciously. Before she could think about it, her palms were interlocked with the fingers of the person beside her.

Although Yu Heng was already extremely disappointed with Qi Boxuan, but the word 'biological father', the feelings he had spent with him day and night, all the expectations he carried after his mother passed away early... how could it be possible that just because of 'disappointment' was exhausted.

Ji Xinxue remembered what Qingzhu had told him quietly.

On the eve of Ji Jingyu's arrival in Chang'an, Yu Heng stood alone under the old plum tree in Lenghui Courtyard until midnight.

On that day, Yu Heng and Mo Yao went to the Jinwuwei Yamen to check the records about the British government before and after the sudden sudden death of Princess Qin.

So far, he still doesn't know what Yu Heng saw that day.

After a short while, a handsome young man appeared at the door.

Ji Xinxue quietly squeezed the fingers she was holding with Yu Heng.

Looking at the slightly familiar face of this person, it seems that there is a shadow of Qi Zhu.

Yu Heng looked back at Ji Xinxue with a blank face.

He hadn't seen him for ten years, and he had long forgotten Qi Zhu's appearance.

They usually correspond, and they are not so boring as to attach portraits.

The handsome young man looked around, his eyes paused for a moment on Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue who were exchanging glances, and then turned to the British Duke and his wife sitting in high positions.

Before the servant could fetch the cushion, he landed on his knees and said in a deep voice, "The unfilial grandson pays respects to grandpa and grandma. Aye can't stand running around day and night, so he can only walk slowly after entering the city. I'm afraid grandpa and grandma are waiting for you." Impatient, I ordered my grandson to report to my grandfather and grandmother first."

Mrs. Ying took the handkerchief that Mrs. Zheng handed her and pressed it to the corner of her eyes, bursting into tears, "My son, come and let grandma see."

Qi Zhu walked in front of the British princess on his knees, showing a simple and honest smile, "Grandmother is much younger than her grandson's dream, and my grandson almost didn't dare to recognize her."

Hearing this, the Duchess of England barely closed her mouth, and the superficial love immediately became much more real.

Seeing the familiar hypocrisy, Ji Xinxue's tense heart eased a little.

Not seen for many years, Qi Zhu has evolved from an immature white lotus to the ultimate green lotus, and his ability to fool people is far better than before, which shows how bad his living environment is.

As long as the father is qualified, the child will not become like this.

Only through Qi Zhu's behavior of sending letters to Yu Heng and the contents of those letters, we can see Qi Boxuan's incompetence and selfishness.

He couldn't even fool Qi Zhu, let alone Yu Heng.

The guests in the flower hall also didn't care about the "moving" grandchildren's relationship between the British princess and Qi Zhu.

Although Qi Zhu is not as conspicuous as Yu Heng, he can still be called attractive.

Besides, 'the nine sons of a dragon are all different', Emperor Changping also has many heirs, so far the only one who inherits his appearance is the Fifth Highness, and there is no one who can stand out from the blue.

Maybe Qi Zhu, or even the king of Xianglin County, could only have Qi Baixuan's appearance and bearing.

The appearance of Qi Zhu made the guests even more anxious to see the once most beautiful man in Chang'an who stayed in the flower hall to compliment the British lady, and looked at the door frequently.

After an unknown amount of time, someone finally entered the door again.

The visitor was eight feet tall, with a pale face, and his eyes looked like withered peach blossoms.

It can be vaguely seen that the tall nose is somewhat similar to Yu Heng and Qi Zhu.

It's a pity that the most attractive part of Yu Heng's face is his star-like eyes, while the smile on Qi Zhu's mouth is the most touching.

The guests looked at each other in disbelief.

This person, could it be...

It shouldn't be!

People may grow old, but they will not completely change.

At least the distance between the eyebrows and the contours of the facial features will not be completely deformed.

Even according to the current appearance of this person, with his eyebrows stretched without a bottom line, he has nothing to do with 'Chang'an's most beautiful man'!

To praise him for his good looks, he has to look at the face of the British government before he can say it.

There must be something wrong.

This person is not Qi Boxuan, Qi Boxuan is still behind.

The visitors passed the guests one by one and knelt down in front of the British Duke with tiger eyes and tears.

"Aye!"

Suddenly there was the sound of a chair falling to the ground in the corner, which was particularly obvious in the flower hall that had fallen into eerie silence since then.

Princess Xuanwei, who wore a six-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head, turned her head indifferently and walked towards the door. For the sake of Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, she didn't utter any evil words.

In vain she came from the palace to see the 'beautiful boy'.

It's better to look at your father more.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng looked at each other with the same doubts in their eyes.

When did Princess Xuanwei come to congratulate the British princess on her birthday? Why didn't they have the slightest impression?

"Are you going to see her?" Yu Heng whispered.

Ji Xinxue shook her head immediately.

Although Princess Xuanwei looked very uncomfortable, he was so wronged that he seemed to be able to beat a bull with his bare hands.

But at this moment, he just wanted to be by Yu Heng's side.

Following Princess Xuanwei, several clan princesses and county heads quietly got up from an inconspicuous corner, and walked towards the door in a daze.

Who spread the rumors about Qi's Liulang being a celestial being?

Stand up bravely.

They promised not to let the guards do anything.

After a few breaths, more than three quarters of the people got up at the same time and walked towards the door. The movement was so loud that those who were hugging their headaches and crying lightly about their parting feelings raised their heads in panic.

"What's the matter?" asked the British Duchess.

Everyone who came into contact with the Duchess of England shook their heads blankly.

The grandsons of Qinghe County Prince's Mansion and Ji Cheng saw the family members leaving the banquet one after another, all of them looked numb and staggered, as if hitting a ghost in the daytime, they chased them out worriedly.

Hearing the reasons for their anger and disappointment, Ji Cheng immediately sold his elder brother and turned back to the flower hall.

When he walked to Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng's position, he happened to hear the question from above, and his face was suddenly full of subtlety, and he couldn't help but look at Qi Boxuan more.

Ji Xinxue stretched out her finger and lightly tapped Ji Cheng's shoulder.

Ji Cheng suddenly came back to his senses, and said in an inaudible voice, "They didn't know where they heard about Qi Bai...Uncle Qi used to be 'the most beautiful man in Chang'an' and came here on purpose, but now he is a little disappointed."

Ji Xinxue was stunned, "The 'Most Beautiful Man in Chang'an' isn't me, Aye?"

Ji Cheng immediately forgot what he was going to say, and even doubted his memory.

Did he remember it wrong, or did the clan sisters and nieces say it wrong?

Yu Heng looked thoughtfully at Ji Xinxue's perfect profile.

Not only does he draw Ji Xinxue himself in his spare time, but he also spends a lot of money to collect the "Portrait of the No. [-] Beauty in Chang'an" among the people.

The painting building will use the "Portrait of the No. [-] Beauty in Chang'an" as an attractive name, so these portraits are numbered deliberately.

Each portrait of Ji Xinxue is numbered Yu Wuliu.

Yu is the Yu Dynasty.

Five represents the fifth emperor, referring to the Changping period.

Six means that this is the sixth "Chang'an No. [-] Beauty" in the Changping Dynasty.

Although he only cared about Ji Xinxue, he never asked who the first five "Chang'an No. [-] Beauty" in Changping Dynasty were.But the painting building will have records, just send someone to ask later.

Because most of the guests left at the same time, the rest subconsciously got up from their seats and walked towards the door.

Ji Cheng chatted with Ji Xinxue again, and then left.

For the sake of Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue, it was already the greatest kindness of Qinghe County Prince's Mansion to personally come to congratulate the British Duke's wife on her birthday. He and his eldest brother would not stay at the British Duke's Mansion for dinner.

With the departure of the guests, the emotions of the long-lost reunion in the flower hall were completely condensed.

Qi Baixuan who had moved from the center of the crowd to the corner suddenly closed his eyes and fell down at some point at some point, causing everyone to be in a hurry, so they didn't have to worry about not being able to cry.

Because of Yu Heng's token, the imperial doctor came very quickly.

Doctor Zhu held Qi Boxuan's wrist, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more stiff.

Deficiency of yang and deficiency of yin, dare to use the medicine of tiger and wolf...

Two quarters of an hour later, Ji Xinxue finally analyzed Qi Baixuan's situation based on the long speeches cited by the imperial doctor Zhu.

Summarize in one sentence.

Taking drugs every day, and counting daughters at night, her body is already exhausted.

Half an hour later, I was shocked to hear that the guests had not just left the flower hall, but all the guests had left the British residence, and the British wife also fainted from excitement, so the imperial doctor Zhu had to prescribe another prescription for Gu Ben Pei Yuan.

He thought to himself, given the frailty of the Duke and Duchess of the United Kingdom and the minister of Honglu Temple, the county king is really strong and impressive.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng took advantage of the Qi clan's scrambling to take care of the British princess, and quietly retreated to the corridor, looking at each other with helplessness in their eyes.

Don't go, waste your time here.

Let's go, I can't save face.

so troublesome.

Thanks to Ji Sung for reaching out to them.

Empress Dowager Su sent people to the British government to call them away on the grounds that Concubine Su was unwell and recruited Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng to wait for her illness.

The people in the palace therefore mistakenly believed that Yu Heng was being bullied in the British government.

From the Empress Dowager Su and the Concubine Su, down to Ji Jingyu and Ji Mingtong, they all carefully greeted Yu Heng, for fear of touching his sadness.

Before falling asleep at night, Song Nian went to Yuhe Palace, and asked Yu Heng calmly if it was convenient for him to go to the imperial mausoleum to worship his ancestors.
