I was a princess in ancient times

Although the conflict between the upstarts in northern Xinjiang and the courtiers in Chang'an has not eased, Ji Jingyu, who is keen to push aside, has rushed to the imperial mausoleum, and Emperor Changping, who can really call the shots, also did not go to court due to 'illness'.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the political affairs in Chang'an are said to be handled by the three princesses, but Ji Xinxue is actually in charge.

Because it was difficult to understand Ji Xinxue's attitude towards them, the upstarts in Northern Xinjiang and the courtiers in Chang'an tacitly chose a temporary truce.

Ji Xinxue stood beside the dragon chair with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her gentle eyes swept over the dark heads of the courtiers below.

Cui Taishi still complained of illness and recuperated at home.

Prince Qinghe, Bai Qianli and Situ had already rushed to the imperial mausoleum under the leadership of Ji Minyan and Ji Jingyu.

Many members of the clan and nobles were also selected by Emperor Changping, and they went to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors with the imperial driver.

Although Emperor Changping stayed in Chang'an because of the sudden wind and cold, the decree he had issued would not be changed easily, and those who were originally targeted still had to leave on time.

Compared with the previous Great Court Meeting, the number of people below has decreased by nearly one-third.The closer you are to the imperial case, the more empty positions there will be.

Sensing the vague tension of the courtiers, the smile on Ji Xinxue's face became more cordial, "Is there something you can't figure out recently? Just say it, and we will work together to find a solution."

It doesn't matter, how could the powerful minister end up tearing his head off in person?

There are almost no one who loves to look for trouble on weekdays.

As long as these people talk enough nonsense and the delay is long enough, Aye, who is waiting for news from Fengxiang Palace, will have to spend more time analyzing the nonsense of these people.

Maybe when Aye realized that he had no intention of preventing Aye from coming to the court, the good news of the imperial mausoleum had already been sent back to Chang'an.

In this way, he no longer has to worry about the problem of his ass blooming.

However, Ji Xinxue never imagined that the "hard stubble" who usually bites people indiscriminately like a mad dog on weekdays, heard his implied words of encouragement.Instead of immediately displaying the characteristics of stalking and climbing up the pole, they took half a step back in unison, bowing their heads docilely and shyly.

When Ji Mingtong saw this, there was undisguised surprise in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to turn his head to Ji Xinxue and said, "Since all the ministers are fine, why not leave the court earlier?"

Ever since my elder brother came back, every big court meeting has to wait until after the Shenshi before the court can be dispersed.

The end of the Great Court Meeting before Sishi seemed so far away that it happened in the previous life.

"Princess Jinming is wise, and the ministers are seconding." The courtiers bowed in unison.

They have summed up their experience through countless lessons of blood and tears.

Whether His Majesty's temper is good or not depends on His Majesty's mood.

In most cases, His Majesty can maintain a large heart.Even if you can see through their tricks, you don't bother to argue with them.

But now it happened to be a rare time for His Majesty, who was always healthy, to fall ill.

No one wants to take the risk of angering Emperor Changping and cause trouble for themselves.

The courtiers were more afraid than Ji Jingrou and Ji Mingtong, who were afraid of trouble, that someone would cause trouble in the court. They wished to disperse the court immediately, and then ran out of the palace as fast as possible to prevent any possibility of angering Emperor Changping.

Ji Xinxue unbelievingly called the stabbing head, and turned to look in the direction of Yushitai, "I heard Liu Yushi scolded Pingbei Hou Shizi in the street yesterday, but there was a misunderstanding?"

Liu Yushi felt the real eyes of his colleagues, immediately fell to his knees, and said without hesitation, "It's just a misunderstanding. Fortunately, Prince Pingbei is magnanimous and has forgiven the offence."

Marquis Pingbei let out a barely audible cold snort, and had no choice but to come out to confirm Liu Yushi's words because of the reminder from the people beside him.

He said in a rough voice, "Gouzi grew up in northern Xinjiang. He neglected Liu Yushi first because of his lack of etiquette. Liu Yushi...knows mistakes and corrects them. There is nothing good about it."

Liu Yushi silently clenched the palm under the official robe, and made a note of the rude martial artist in his heart.

Seeing this, the gentleness between Ji Xinxue's brows completely turned into indifference.

Never admit wrong Yushitai?

Are they all generals from northern Xinjiang?

Why did you suddenly become so considerate when Aye wasn't around?

No matter how much he wanted the courtiers to attract Emperor Changping's attention for him, Ji Xinxue couldn't insist on raising the hands of both the generals of Northern Xinjiang and the courtiers of Chang'an to force them to make trouble.

After nearly two months, Ji Xinxue finally saw the sun of Sishi again at the Great Court Assembly.

Ji Xinxue walked out of the hall slowly after the courtiers filed out along the open gate.

He looked up at the sun that had not yet risen above his head, lost in thought.

The goal of making Aye lazy has been achieved, what should be done next to escape the 'beating'?

Ji Xinxue thought about it, but in the end she didn't escape from the palace, and went back to Fengxiang Palace's study as if nothing had happened to deal with the latest paperwork.

Ji Jingrou and Ji Mingtong walked around the garden twice before arriving at Fengxiang Palace.

As soon as they entered the gate of Fengxiang Palace, they saw Chunxiao carrying a little black bear on his back and Qingfeng hugging a green peacock.

"Greetings to Princess Baoding and Princess Jinming." Yan Meng clasped his fists in salute, Chunxiao and Qingfeng had no choice but to bend their knees as a salute because of the little black bear and green peacock.

Ji Mingtong stretched his head close to the little black bear, his brows were full of hesitation.

Why is it a bit like Aye's favorite pet?

But Aye's favorite pet should be in the Royal Beast Garden guarded by the Jinwu Guard.Even if Aye misses his beloved pet and wants to call it to pass the time, it shouldn't be Ah Xue's palace servants who do it.

The little black bear tilted its head and looked at Ji Mingtong for a while, then suddenly opened its mouth to reveal its sharp white teeth and scarlet tongue, and lifted its claws skillfully.

Ji Mingtong raised his hand and patted it without thinking.

"Momo!"

At the same time, Ji Jingrou skillfully took over the green peacock named 'Green Green' from Qingfeng.

Yan Meng whispered, "Your Highness said that His Majesty has been busy for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will feel bored when he is suddenly idle. Not only is his appetite fading, but he is always staring at the void in a daze."

The smile on the corner of Ji Mingtong's mouth paused for a while, and he turned his head to meet Ji Jingrou who also had surprised eyes.

Since Aye claimed to be sick, they were asked to take care of the daily government affairs temporarily.They would go to the back to greet Aye every day, but they didn't notice Aye's abnormality at all.

They also deal with the daily government affairs temporarily, and Ashe has to approve and reply to dozens of papers every day, but they just read scripts and sleep late in the study of Fengxiang Palace to pass the time.

Even so, Ah Xue was still more careful and sensitive than them, and discovered Aye's abnormality before they did.

How could this make them not feel guilty?

Yan Meng counted five in her heart, and continued to say what Ji Xinxue told her, "His Royal Highness specially ordered us to go to the Royal Beast Garden to bring His Majesty's beloved pet. After His Highness finishes processing today's papers, he will also go to talk with His Majesty." .”

"Let's go there first!" Ji Mingtong and Ji Jingrou said in unison.

As long as they occupy all of Aye's time, Aye will have no time to stare at the void!

Yan Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

Before she could finish what His Highness had said, the two princesses offered to accompany His Majesty.

Does she not need to say the rest?

When Ji Jingrou and Ji Mingtong rushed to the bedroom hand in hand, Emperor Changping was thinking carefully about what would happen in the Great Court.

So far, he has not found out that the second son specifically asked him not to show up at the Dachaohui to achieve any purpose.

To deter courtiers and establish majesty?

The second son's attitude towards the courtiers was unprecedentedly gentle, and he didn't deliberately seek trouble from anyone. How can we talk about deterrence?

To buy people's hearts and pave the way for becoming a prince?

This guess is also unreliable. As the person in charge, he only has a gentle temper and no majesty, so he will only be regarded as a puppet that is easy to handle by the courtiers.With Xiao Wu's intelligence, he would never make such a stupid mistake.

……

Could it be that the second son is only planning today, and there is still a long time before closing the net, so he can't find out the clues immediately?

"Aye!"

Ji Jingrou and Ji Mingtong's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and then the tender cry of a cub.

Emperor Changping looked at the door thoughtfully, and signaled Jing Zhe who was guarding the corner to open the door.

Ji Jingrou immediately rushed towards Emperor Changping with the green peacock in his arms, and said with a smile, "Aye, Lulu has grown a new tail feather."

Ji Mingtong brought the slightly bulky little black bear, so it was inevitable that he would be left behind.She turned her head to the little black bear and shook her head, gave up her little friend, and rushed to Emperor Changping at a faster speed, "Aye, you promised me that you would give me Lulu's first egg!"

"Aren't you already pre-ordered Black Cub, why do you still want Lulu's first egg?" Ji Jingrou looked at Ji Mingtong disapprovingly, the desire between his brows was clearly revealed.

When Ji Mingtong heard the words, his eyes immediately became defensive, "You ask Aye, Aye has already promised me."

Ji Jingrou stood between Ji Mingtong and Emperor Changping with a smile, and raised his hand to embrace Ji Mingtong's shoulder, "My good sister, I also like green and black, can you let me have one?"

Before the words fell, the green peacock, which finally smelled freedom, suddenly took off from Ji Jingrou's arms, staggered and landed on the imperial case in front of Emperor Changping, stretched its neck and tried to rest its head on Emperor Changping's palm.

The feathers floating on the surface of the body fell down one after another, making it look pitiful as if it had been severely trampled not long ago.

Ji Jingrou raised her hand subconsciously, wanting to press the floating feather on the green peacock again, but the green peacock let out a terrified cry and almost flew into Emperor Changping's face.

Fortunately, Emperor Changping had rich experience in raising birds, and he caught the green peacock's paw at the first time, so that he could avoid the disfigured ending in time.

Emperor Changping looked helplessly at Ji Jingrou who was full of embarrassment, "You..."

He raised his eyebrows, and suddenly threw out the green peacock in his hand, and opened his arms to hug the little black bear that suddenly rushed towards him like a hunter.

The green peacock has not fully grown up yet. Although it can fly, it is only capable of flying. Its clumsy posture is completely opposite to its elegant and beautiful appearance.

It hovered around the head of Emperor Changping, the feathers on its body fell faster, stretched its neck angrily and neighed at the little black bear.

At this time, the little black bear didn't see Ji Mingtong's cleverness and obedience at all. It supported Emperor Changping's shoulders and stood up. Not to be outdone, it raised its head and roared back. Peacock.

Not to mention the dumbfounded Ji Jingrou and Ji Mingtong, even Emperor Changping laughed out of the unprecedented excitement.

He easily lifted the little black bear on his lap and pressed it under the chair, and lightly reprimanded, "Be honest!"

Ji Jingrou and Ji Mingtong subconsciously straightened their chests, and when they looked at each other, they all had the same guilty conscience.

The little black bear makes a delicate voice that belongs to a cub, and its dark eyes and sitting posture on the ground make it very cute.

However, the green peacock gradually flew low, and when it tried to get close to Emperor Changping, the cute little bear suddenly jumped to a height that made Ji Jingrou and Ji Mingtong scream, and even climbed up the bookshelf by the wall.

Emperor Changping took off the peacock feathers on his robe blankly, and turned to look at his daughters who were nervously watching the green peacock's escape.

His bedroom has been refurbished according to the layout of Yuhe Palace, enough for green peacocks to fly away.

As long as the green peacock doesn't hit its head suddenly, the exhausted little black bear can't catch it.

Until the little black bear with its teeth and claws suddenly shrunk into a small round black ball on the top of the bookshelf, and the green peacock also stopped on the shelf where the parrot was originally placed, turning its neck stiffly to comb the air, Ji Jingrou and Ji Mingtong only realized it later To the dullness in the room.

Mo Yao was standing at the open door holding the golden knife that never left his body, looking at 'Little Black Tuanzi' and 'Green Parrot', as if he was thinking about which bear skin is soft and warm, which feather is beautiful and suitable for making cloak.

Ji Mingtong coughed lightly, and walked forward with the same hands and feet facing Emperor Changping's gaze, completely unaware of what he was talking about, "Why does Mo Mo want to catch Lulu?"

Emperor Changping leaned lazily on the back of the chair, pointed to the bookshelf by the wall and said, "Ask it."

Ji Mingtong approached Emperor Changping cautiously, pinched Emperor Changping's shoulders attentively, and nonsense seriously, "Is Mo Mo jealous that Lulu is more colorful than its fur, thinking that Aye likes Lulu more?"

Ji Jingrou secretly thought that Ji Mingtong was brave, and immediately ran to the other side of Emperor Changping to pinch his shoulders, and agreed with a smile, "It must be so. On the way here, I hugged Lulu all the time, and I didn't see any reaction from Momo."

Emperor Changping glanced at Ji Mingtong with a half-smile, and closed his eyes helplessly.

Silly girl, she just knew how to poke him in the heart.

Compared with the jealous little black bear and green peacock, Ji Mingtong and Ji Jingrou's attitude of not caring about being set off by other brothers and sisters as green leaves is even more rare and precious.

Ji Mingtong immediately felt that Emperor Changping's attitude was relaxed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became brighter and brighter.

Thinking that she was not as caring about Emperor Changping as her younger brother who was almost as busy as a spinning top, but Emperor Changping easily forgave her for her unintentional mistake, the guilt in Ji Mingtong's heart became more intense.

She made up her mind to occupy all of Emperor Changping's free time with Ji Jingrou, and not give Emperor Changping any chance to stare blankly at the void.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Ji Xinxue, who was staring at the unfolding memorial in a daze, was deeply relieved when he received the news that the two little padded jackets had gone to warm his old father.

As long as Ji Mingtong and Ji Jingrou can wait for two days and the news of the imperial mausoleum reaches Chang'an, he will be able to escape this time.

As for next time... let's talk about it next time.

In the eighth year of Changping, the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The eldest son of the emperor Lingwang, the king of Xianglin County, and the eldest daughter Princess Huai'an, who had just returned from northern Xinjiang, went to the imperial mausoleum to offer sacrifices to the ancestors for the ill Changping Emperor.

The sacrificial ceremony was presided over by the King of Qinghe County, assisted by the Minister of Rites.

The Prince of Xinyang, the Prince of Xinyang, the Prince of Qinghe, the Marquis of Dingbei, the Marquis of Siyong, Bai Taibao, Ma Situ... Dozens of clansmen, nobles and courtiers accompanied him.

The sacrifice began at noon, with Princess Huai'an as the head, King Ling and King Xianglin as assistants, followed by the clan, nobles and courtiers in sequence.

Prince Qinghe personally took out the Panlong jade pendant that Emperor Changping had carried with him for many years from the brocade box, and tied it around Princess Huai'an's waist.

He took two steps back and chanted the sacrificial oration loudly.It explains the reasons why Princess Huai'an worshiped the ancestors for Emperor Changping, Emperor Changping sent troops to defeat the Turks and Mohe, regained the land of Mohe, continued to implement the New Deal, and made the people live and work in peace and contentment.

"This is a special report to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, and I hope that the ancestors will bless Dayu with good weather and good weather, and my emperor will live forever."

As the mid-air ending sound spread in the mountains, Ji Jingyu rang the sacrificial bell, and Yu Heng personally lit the incense stick in Ji Minyan's hand.

Ji Minyan held up the unbreakable incense sticks, and walked towards the altar that was built in advance in full view of everyone.

Suddenly, a beam of golden light visible to the naked eye shrouded the entire altar impartially. Ji Minyan's expression changed slightly, and she changed from the dignified and solemn before, and walked into the golden light in two steps in three steps.

"The ancestors have appeared!"

Ji Cheng who was standing in the center of the clan roared in disbelief.

Before the words were finished, a beautiful music sounded from all directions that had never been heard by those present.

Everyone who was stunned in place looked at each other in blank dismay.

Could it be... Could it be?

The Jinwu Guard walked towards the leader quietly, but after all, he still didn't dare to step into the altar located in the golden light range, stopped beside Ji Jingyu and said, "The situation is different, I sent people to check around..."

"What's different?" Ji Jingyu grabbed the collar of the Jinwu Guard, the excitement in his eyes almost turned into reality, and his voice immediately overwhelmed all the whispers behind him, "This is the ancestor's manifestation! The ancestor recognized Aye's achievements!"

As Ji Jingyu grabbed the Jinwu Guard and knelt down, the clan headed by Qinghe County King and Xinyang County King knelt down one after another, with almost fanatical excitement and joy in their brows.

Although Xungui and the courtiers still had doubts in their hearts, they didn't dare to deny rashly that 'the ancestors recognized Aye's achievements', and they knelt down one after another, following the direction of the golden beam of light and looking into the distance.

The generals even raised their guards by coincidence, carefully distinguishing where the sound like fairy music came from, but finally came to the conclusion that there are fairy music everywhere.

The fairy music played for half a quarter of an hour, and other sounds were mixed into it.

First, there is the crisp rooster crowing, then rabbits, sheep, cattle, deer... The roar of the bear and the roar of the tiger.

As the sound of Xianle became smaller and smaller, everyone felt that when the "Ancestor Appearance" came to an end, the dragon's chant resounding through the heavens and the earth seemed to whistling past their ears, and Xianle suddenly became clear and thick.

No one doubted the authenticity of the "ancestral apparition" anymore, and everyone knelt respectfully, for fear of being rejected by the ancestor emperor and the real dragon because of their lack of sincerity.

In a corner where no one could see, Ji Minyan took out two palm-sized jade boxes from under the altar and held them in the palm of her hand.

I don't know how long it took before the sound of fairy music disappeared completely. One after another, people bravely looked up and looked around, and found that the golden light covering the altar also dissipated at some point.

Yu Heng raised his head counting the time, and reminded in a deep voice, "Azu, the ancestor worship is over."

King Qinghe, who was about to be completely stiffened by the cold wind, suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes were sharp.

He looked around, with sadness in his eyes, "I seemed to be dreaming about Huanggu just now. Huanggu asked me to take good care of Fenglang. Only when he is at ease can she be at ease there. Have you seen your ancestors?"

The clan members looked at each other in blank dismay.

This……

Could it be that Princess An agrees with King Xianglin and His Royal Highness Long Yang?

When such news is sent back to Chang'an, isn't it true that His Majesty can no longer go against the wishes of his ancestors.

Yu Heng closed his eyes and said hoarsely, "I saw my grandmother."

The clan members who had been skeptical about King Qinghe's words were both stunned and shocked when they heard the words.

As we all know, Princess Anguo's mansion has the largest lineup of ancestor worship every year.

Is it because the King of Xianglin County is willing to worship his ancestors, so there are more than one ancestors in Princess An's mansion who are willing to show up?

The clan members were quiet for a brief moment, and asked questions in a hurry.

"Does her old man have any instructions?"

"What orders does Princess Qin have?"

"Princess Qin and my grandmother are close friends in the boudoir, did you speak for my grandmother?"

……

"Grandmother has something to say to Uncle Wang of Xinyang." Yu Heng stared down at the jade pendant on his waist, the black color in his eyes was too thick to melt away.

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at the prince of Xinyang County.

The prince of Xinyang County was both frightened and pleasantly surprised, but in the end he mustered up his courage under the urging eyes of the Prince of Xinyang County, and asked stammeringly, "Xiang, Aunt Qin, what can you tell me?"

Yu Heng raised the corners of his mouth and deliberately slowed down his speech, "Grandmother said, you don't have to pay back the 2 taels of silver you borrowed from her on April [-]th in the fifth year of Yanguang. It's the lucky money she gave you all these years .”

"Ah...ah?!" The prince of Xinyang County was already timid. Hearing this, he immediately felt that he was missed by people who had died for many years, and he said quickly, "It's me, Aye, who said that Aunt Xianglin is not bad. Some money, so I don't have to worry about..."

The King of Xinyang County quickly covered the mouth of Prince Xinyang County's son, the anger in his eyes almost turned into substance.

waste!

Yu Heng didn't look back at the farce behind, and said slowly, "In addition to Uncle Xinyang, my grandmother also asked me to speak to Aunt Yirong, Aunt Yihuan, Uncle Yudu..."

The last two words were as light as being blown away by the cold wind, making the people whose names were called shiver.

The bolder Yihuan county head immediately said loudly, "After so many years, my niece never forgot my aunt's kindness. Please rest assured, aunt, my niece will definitely treat Fenglang as her own child!"

Seeing this, the rest of the distraught clans repeated the words of Yihuan county magistrate one after another, and the prince of Xinyang county was no exception.

Seeing that the 'Ancestor Apparition' was about to become a large-scale confession and remedy scene, King Qinghe shook his head in disappointment.

If he hadn't really fallen asleep in the cold wind just now, and dreamed that Huanggu was lying on the soft place in front of the familiar window and said to him with a smile, "Xiao Qinghe, you have to take good care of Fenglang for me. Only he can live freely." , Bao'er, An'er and Yu'er won't make trouble with me."

He would definitely think that Feng Lang was being naughty.

When the aunt passed away, it was the most difficult time for Princess Anguo's mansion. Fortunately, Yu An donated money and accumulated a lot of praise in the clan. It also made everyone think of the care that Aunt Anguo took for her nephew when she was still there. Princess Anguo's mansion can be passed on smoothly until now.

With Yu An's temperament, it's rare to be able to tell Feng Lang something private, how could he be full of trivial matters?

King Qinghe interrupted everyone's discussions and asked again if anyone else had seen their ancestors.

If not, he will read the concluding sacrificial speech, officially ending this year's ancestor worship in the imperial mausoleum.

No one responded for a long time, and the disappointment in Qinghe County King's eyes became more and more intense, and he could only put his hope on Yu Heng.

Feng Lang is young, maybe he can talk more with his ancestors.

It's just that there are so many people nowadays that Feng Lang only picks out unimportant things to say.

Yu Heng, who was being given high hopes by the King of Qinghe County, used the cover of his wide sleeves to break off the bead chain on his wrist, and handed it to him quietly. Attention Jinwu Guard.

Although this Jinwu Guard is dressed the same as others, he does not belong to the imperial palace. He is Ji Xinxue's personal guard given by Emperor Changping. He has been completely separated from the Jin Wu Guard in the palace and only obeys Ji Xinxue's orders.

The wooden bead engraved with the word "Yu" passed through the gap between Ji Minyan's arm and body, and landed in front of Ji Minyan impartially.

Ji Minyan picked up the wooden bead, the thoughts in her mind suddenly became clear, and she said in a hoarse voice, "I dreamed of my great-grandfather, and he handed me a jade box with his own hands, asking me to hand it over to Aye."
