I was a princess in ancient times
Chapter 160
The thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the second day of ancestor worship in the imperial mausoleum.
Ji Xinxue went to Fengxiang Palace when the sky was still dark.
He never said why he prevented Emperor Changping from going to the Great Court Meeting in advance. Under Emperor Changping's probing eyes, he followed Song Nian as if nothing had happened, and went to the compartment to choose clothes and accessories for Emperor Changping.
Emperor Changping's facial features were magnificent, and only bright colors could set off his grace to the greatest extent.
Ji Xinxue hesitated for a while, and chose the regular clothes with the silver-red pomegranate satin presented by Ye Cheng as the base.
This material looks like an ordinary red, even lighter than many common reds, but as long as it is exposed to sunlight, the color of the whole dress will become more intense visible to the naked eye, and it is thicker than the red of the Central Plains.
The collar and cuffs are embroidered with fine and delicate dragon patterns with gold thread, which will flash when touched by sunlight and candlelight, just in line with the characteristics of the fabric.
Having chosen clothes with such strong colors, the hair crown and accessories cannot be light, otherwise it will feel top-heavy.
Ji Xinxue pondered for a moment, then turned around and went straight to the innermost cabinet. He remembered that the birthday gift Yu Heng gave to Emperor Changping this year seemed to be placed here.
Song Nian followed Ji Xinxue step by step, chatting casually, "What's the happy event today?"
Ji Xinxue personally went to move the round stool in the corner, and took down the wooden box placed on the high place.
The gold hair crown is inlaid with red jade dragons on the left and right, and in the middle is a night pearl that can be seen fluorescently during the day. It is also equipped with a gold waist ornament inlaid with red jade flying dragons of the same color. It is exactly the set of accessories that Ji Xinxue is looking for .
He looked up at Songnian, explaining that it was true or false, "Aye has been sick for a long time, and he will finally show up at Xiaochao. Choosing clothes that can show his spirit will make all officials feel more at ease."
Songnian felt that Ji Xinxue was joking with him, and bowed solemnly, "Your Highness is still considerate."
Ji Xinxue smiled, and walked out of the compartment with the selected clothes and accessories.
Yesterday the imperial mausoleum paid homage to the ancestors, and today he has been sick for many days, and even Emperor Changping, who was absent from the Great Court Meeting because of this, appeared in the Xiaochao Meeting with a radiant complexion.
When the news of the "ancestor's apparition" reaches Chang'an, the courtiers will definitely conclude that the ancestors of the Ji family protected Changping Emperor.
Emperor Changping could easily see through Ji Xinxue's thoughts through the gorgeous robes and accessories.
He smiled, got up and stretched his arms, and waited for Ji Xinxue to serve him to change clothes with peace of mind.
Although the courtiers were not flustered because of Emperor Changping's illness for many days, seeing the radiant Emperor Changping suddenly lifted their spirits, and they no longer remained silent during the court meeting.
Whether it is the upstarts in northern Xinjiang, the courtiers of Chang'an, or the officials who returned to Chang'an to report their duties at the end of the year, they all rushed to express their concerns about Emperor Changping.
They express it either bluntly or tactfully.
Ever since they heard the news that Emperor Changping was unwell, they were worried that Emperor Changping would not be able to eat well and sleep well, so they spent almost all their spare time praying for Emperor Changping.
There are only a few best ways to flatter, but there are double digits of people who are eligible to participate in the Xiaochaohui.
Everyone wants to gain the upper hand, and the result must be that some people are happy and others are worried.
Those who are dissatisfied subconsciously use the tricks that have been tried and tested... to dismantle the "opponent" and then pick the victory of the opponent.
In the past two quarters of an hour, Ji Xinxue once again saw the familiar "head-talking" link.
He blinked, and looked thoughtfully at Emperor Changping with a calm expression.
Although the metaphor is not appropriate, the appearance of the courtiers at this time is really like a male peacock with its tail standing upright.
According to Ji Xinxue's estimate, the news of the 'ancestor's apparition' will probably take one and a half to two days to reach Chang'an, that is tonight or tomorrow morning.
Suddenly hearing someone outside the study door yelling 'Hurry up at eight hundred miles to the imperial mausoleum', Ji Xinxue's eyes were dazed, and she subconsciously reacted the same way as the courtiers, and fixed her eyes on the door.
How can it be so fast?
Is there an accident in any link?
The messengers were not only the Jinwu Guards in soft armor, but also Ji Cheng who was almost dying.
Ji Cheng's knee hit the ground heavily, and he said out of breath, "Your Majesty! Ancestor, Ancestor manifested! Special gift from the late emperor..."
Ji Xinxue's eyelids twitched violently, and she rushed to the side of the already limp person, "Ji Cheng!" What is the former emperor?
If you make it clear, you will be dizzy again!
Fortunately, it was used in the Jinwu Guard, and immediately used clear and orderly language to explain in detail what happened in the imperial mausoleum yesterday, and in time Ji Xinxue's heart that was about to jump out of his chest calmed down.
Although there was an unplanned 'ancestor's dream', there was nothing wrong with the most important candidate.
The person who 'appeared' was Emperor Jianxing, not Emperor Yanguang!
Emperor Changping only knew that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng wanted to 'discover' auspiciousness in the process of offering sacrifices to their ancestors, but never carefully investigated how they planned to create auspiciousness.
To him, it was already an extremely rare performance for two lazy people to suddenly work hard and be willing to carefully plan and plan a major event that could deceive the entire court.
It is worthwhile for him to do some convenience for them, such as changing his plan to go to the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors in person due to the sudden wind and cold.
Knowing the specific process of the appearance of 'Xiangrui' from Jin Wuwei, Emperor Changping suddenly regretted it.
If he had known it would be so interesting, he should have found a reason to leave Mo Yao alone in Chang'an, and go to the imperial mausoleum to watch the fun.
The regret in his heart didn't affect the seriousness between Emperor Changping's eyebrows at all, he scolded in a deep voice, "Nonsense! How can you easily draw conclusions on such a serious matter?"
The courtiers who had already been shocked by the picture drawn by Jin Wuwei came back to their senses at the words of Emperor Changping, and the shame in their eyes became stronger and stronger as they looked at each other in blank dismay.
Although no one can bribe Qinghe County King, Xianglin County King and Princess Huai'an at the same time, but...
Such an outrageous thing should not be easily believed.
Compared with His Majesty, they are too restless.
Ji Xinxue knew that with the friendship between Yu Heng and Ji Cheng, since Ji Cheng was asked to report back to Chang'an in person, even if they did not reveal their plan to Ji Cheng, there would be other explanations.
It's a pity that Ji Cheng was so useless, he passed out before he could speak.
Ji Xinxue secretly said 'sorry', covered Ji Cheng's lips with her thumb, and exerted force.
"Huh?" The man with his eyes closed groaned in pain.
At the same time, the calm voice of the Jinwu Guard sounded again.
"After the sacrifice, the King of Xianglin immediately ordered the Jinwu Guards to check nearby to see if anyone was hiding in the dark with musical instruments. The ministers and others dug the ground three feet, but they did not notice any abnormalities."
"Back to the Biezhuang, Xianglin County King Shih ordered the imperial physician to check the pulses of him, Qinghe County King, and Princess Huai'an, and ordered the guests to meet them. The three imperial physicians and the two guests did not feel any difference."
"The left guard of Princess Anguo's Mansion was ordered by King Xianglin to inquire about the news with the surrounding people."
"The common people all say that no stranger has appeared nearby in recent years. On the auspicious time of offering sacrifices to the ancestors, the people and craftsmen in the surrounding villages all saw the sudden appearance of the golden beam of light, and they all called it the emperor's manifestation. The emperor blesses you. Occasionally someone with very good hearing can hear the sound of fairy music and the roar of dragons and tigers."
The Jinwu Guard was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered something he had almost forgotten, and he sped up his speech silently.
"During the sacrifice, Princess Huai'an saw Emperor Jianxing in a dream. Emperor Jianxing gave Princess Huai'an a jade box and ordered Princess Huai'an to hand it over to Her Majesty. When Princess Huai'an boarded a few tables, her hands were empty Nothing, but at the end of the sacrificial ceremony, there was an extra jade box in his hand, the keyhole and the joint could not be found."
"In addition to Princess Huai'an, Prince Qinghe saw Princess An, and Prince Xianglin saw Princess Qin."
"Only Princess An's confession to Prince Qinghe cannot be proven. All the accompanying clans admitted that Princess Qin had confessed to King Xianglin in a dream. King Ling and Duke Heping inspected the altar in person, but found no place to hide the jade box. "
Emperor Changping raised half of his eyebrows, and silently accelerated the speed of tapping his fingertips on the armrest, the regret in his heart deepened.
The common people at the foot of the mountain can also see the golden beam of light, the fairy music, and the dragon's chant, proving that these things are not blindfolded but have really existed.
Tsk, it's a bit of a loss.
But Min Yan and Jing Yu would willingly accompany Xiao Wu to mess around... which is good news.
If Xiao Wu and Feng Lang can always maintain their current positive attitude, maybe they can really get everyone's approval under the circumstance that they are doomed to have fatal flaws.
Thinking of this, Emperor Changping's frown suddenly relaxed.
It doesn't matter even if it can't be done, at least it has proved that the method Xiao Wu told him at the beginning was really a compensation that Xiao Wu and Feng Lang racked their brains to think of, and it was not a bet that he would soften his heart.
Compared with Emperor Changping, he was prepared earlier, and determined that the so-called "ancestral apparition" was Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng's means.After listening to Jin Wuwei's detailed explanation, the courtiers were even more convinced of the "ancestor's apparition".
The remorse in their hearts is no less than that of Emperor Changping.
The last "miracle" recorded in the history books happened 2000 years ago. All the immortals joined hands to celebrate the emperor's birthday.
Not only did the honored emperor live to the age of 88 without any disease or disaster, but the courtiers who participated in the birthday banquet also lived a long life and died well.
If they can also go to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors, can they also... Sigh.
After Ji Xinxue's unremitting efforts, Ji Cheng finally opened his eyes against the completely swollen crowd. He stared at Ji Xinxue's direction lazily, as if he still couldn't fully recover, "Princess?"
Ji Xinxue shook her head, raised her hand to cover Ji Cheng's mouth, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, you can go to sleep."
There is no need for Ji Cheng to explain himself, the courtiers have already firmly believed in the "ancestor's appearance".
Because of the news from the imperial mausoleum, the courtiers were all absent-minded and lost in thought, and even completely forgot about the flowers that had already been pulled out of their heads.
It wasn't until the Xiaochaohui ended and Emperor Changping strode away that the courtiers came back to their senses under the reminder of the palace staff, and walked out of the palace in twos and threes.
Ji Xinxue brought Ji Cheng back to Yuhe Palace with a stinky face, and sure enough, he saw Ji Mingtong with a bright smile at the gate.
He stood between the two of them, and asked Ji Mingtong helplessly, "Where is Sister?"
Since Emperor Changping fell ill, Ji Mingtong ate and lived with Ji Jingrou all day long, but when Ji Cheng came back, he left Ji Jingrou and came to Yuhe Palace... As an insider, Ji Xinxue felt guilty for Ji Mingtong.
Ji Mingtong grabbed Ji Xinxue's arm and pulled it out of her sight. He couldn't tell whether he was relieved or complaining, "When my sister went to find Xuanwei, she always avoided me on purpose."
Ji Xinxue backed away along the strength of her arm, and turned to ask Ji Cheng about the details of the process of worshiping the ancestors, mainly to test out what happened to the so-called "ancestor entrusting dreams".
Ji Cheng honestly cooperated with Ji Xinxue's inquiry, and told Ji Xinxue what he saw and heard without reservation.
"Feng Lang asked me to bring you a sentence." He said slowly, "Let it be."
The mystery in Ji Xinxue's heart dissipated immediately.
He got it.
King Qinghe is old, no matter how energetic he is usually, he will show fatigue when he is tired, and he really dozed off during the ancestor worship process.
The so-called thinking day by day and dreaming at night, if the king of Qinghe County is still thinking about Yu Heng recently, it is not surprising that he would dream of Princess An.
Yu Heng just took advantage of the situation and offered Ji Minyan a more reasonable way to take out the jade box.
Compared with the original plan, Ji Minyan insisted that the jade box fell from the sky and followed the golden light to her hand, to test the confidence of the accompanying people in their eyesight.
Now tell everyone directly that Emperor Jianxing ordered her to hand over the jade box to Emperor Changping, so it was more natural that the jade box suddenly appeared on her.
Two days later, the news of the auspicious signs in the imperial mausoleum finally reached Chang'an from the imperial mausoleum.
The news of the common people came from merchants who happened to pass by nearby villages and small towns when they worshiped their ancestors in the imperial mausoleum.
They either saw the golden light that suddenly appeared, or heard the sound of fairy music and the roar of tigers and dragons, they took it for granted as an auspicious sign, and couldn't wait to tell others.
In just a few days, the news about the auspiciousness from heaven spread all over Gyeonggi-do, and spread to the surrounding Guannai, Shannan and Hadong provinces.
Because Ji Minyan had the jade box that Emperor Jianxing ordered her to hand over to Emperor Changping, when the people who went to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors returned to Chang'an, Emperor Changping personally took them out of the city to greet them in court clothes.
The people did not know where they got the news, and they left the city one day earlier, and stayed overnight outside the city gate in small groups, wanting to get close to the people who went to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors, and to get auspicious atmosphere.
Ji Xinxue rode a horse and followed the guard of honor of Emperor Changping, turning her head frequently to look for the people who were following far behind, her brows becoming more and more worried.
Emperor Changping had a panoramic view of Ji Xinxue's reaction, and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Why are you frowning on a good day to welcome the ancestor's will? Could it be that you are worried that the ancestor will be dissatisfied with me and punish me?"
Sensing the threat in Emperor Changping's eyes, Ji Xinxue immediately came back to his senses, and made a veiled promise, "The ancestors only appeared because they were satisfied with Aye's achievements, how could they be dissatisfied with Aye."
Emperor Changping lazily responded, the smile on the corner of his mouth remained unchanged.
Ji Xinxue tightened her grip on the horse's belly, and whispered to Emperor Changping, "Do you want to expel the people in advance?"
The remnants of the previous dynasty have not been completely eradicated. The more people there are, the easier it is to pose a threat to Emperor Changping's safety.
If he had known that today would be so lively, he would not have suggested that Emperor Changping go out of the city in person to receive the 'Emperor Jianxing's reward'.
Mo Yao, who was sitting on the frame with the golden knife in his arms, suddenly said, "No need."
The Jinwu Guards have already laid a net of heaven and earth in advance, and if the remnants of the previous dynasty dare to attack today, they will definitely lose their money.
Ji Xinxue turned her head to look at Mo Yao, and took the initiative to look away.
Although he didn't understand the deep meaning in Mo Yao's eyes, he was willing to believe in Mo Yao's ability, and also believed that Emperor Changping would not trust the wrong person.
He gradually fell behind the guard of honor of Emperor Changping, and ordered the guards accompanying him to go to the rear to prevent the people from approaching the guard of honor of Emperor Changping, so as to protect the safety of the people in case of accidents.
At least it can keep the people calm and avoid being injured due to panic.
At noon, the team going to the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors appeared in everyone's sight.
Ji Minyan was wearing court clothes, standing solemnly on the carriage frame at the front, holding up the jade box that Emperor Jianxing had handed over to her with both hands.
Ji Jingyu and Yu Heng were also wearing court clothes, standing by Ji Minyan's side respectively.
The rest of the people, the clan in front, the nobles and courtiers behind, knelt down neatly towards Emperor Changping.
Ji Xinxue's eyes lingered on Yu Heng for a while, then he got off the horse neatly, and knelt down at the same time as the people on his left and right.
Seeing this, the people in the distance also knelt down spontaneously.
For a moment, only Emperor Changping and Ji Minyan holding the jade box were left standing.
Ji Minyan kept holding the jade box high and jumped out of the carriage, strode towards Emperor Changping, and said loudly, "On the day of ancestor worship in the imperial mausoleum, my great-grandfather handed this object to my daughter, and asked her to present it to Aye."
Emperor Changping nodded, reached out to pick up the jade box, "It's hard work."
The texture of the jade box is so delicate that there are no gaps or traces of keyholes.
Before Emperor Changping could ask, Ji Minyan had already mentioned the characteristics of the jade box aloud, and said guiltily, "Daughter is ashamed, I don't remember whether my great-grandfather explained how to open the jade box."
Emperor Changping raised his hand to help Ji Minyan who was about to kneel down, "It's okay, I..."
Before the words fell, there was a sudden commotion nearby.
Ji Xinxue never imagined that it was not more and more people who went wrong, and it was not Emperor Changping who suffered the first disaster.
It was the Jinwu Guard who had the problem, and the Jinwu Guard was the first to suffer. More precisely, the assassin was the first to suffer.
The assassin who suddenly exploded had not had time to get close to Emperor Changping before he was pushed to the ground by the people beside him. Before he could cause panic, his jaw was removed and he collapsed limply on the spot.
Ji Xinxue got up and ran to the assassins, checking their badges one by one.
Junwu, Junwu, Junwu... or Junwu.
In the 21st year of Yanguang, Emperor Changping had split the Jinwu Guard. Neiwu and a very small number of Junwu stayed in the Jinwu Guard, and the rest were merged into the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.
There were nearly a hundred Junwu who were captured alive suddenly, this ratio is too outrageous.
"It may not be Junwu from Jinwu Guard, maybe it's just a counterfeit." A familiar voice rang in Ji Xinxue's ear.
"How is it possible?" Ji Xinxue held the temperature on her arm subconsciously, "Junwu who is not Jinwuwei, it is impossible to appear here..."
wrong!
Although Mo Yao and Jin Wuwei were solely responsible for the safety of Emperor Changping, it was limited to Chang'an.
As long as Emperor Changping leaves the range of Chang'an, all military defenses in Chang'an will deploy manpower to protect Emperor Changping.
According to the usual practice, in addition to the Jinwu Guard, there will also be people from the Habayashi Guard, Qianniu Guard, and Daying in the suburbs of Beijing.
Ji Xinxue carefully observed the assassin's belt badge again, and immediately noticed something was wrong.
The weight is wrong.
The belt of the Jinwu Guard should not be so light.
Ji Xinxue raised her head and looked around, her eyes were full of bright anger.
It has been eight years since Changping, yet someone still dares to pretend to be the Jinwu Guard to assassinate Emperor Changping?
Yu Heng patted Ji Xinxue on the back, took off the waist badge and handed it to Li Jinhuan who was beside him, and ordered, "Go back to Beijing immediately to find Princess Xuanwei, and send people to surround Cui Taishi's mansion and the British Duke's mansion, and there is no need to have anything to do with them." There is no need to restrict their movements for any communication."
Ji Xinxue's heart moved slightly, and she looked thoughtfully at the assassin who was being quietly dragged away.
He leaned close to Yu Heng's ear and asked in a low voice, "Do you think it's...they?"
It is really strange that so many 'trash' assassins were quietly prepared just to frighten Emperor Changping for a moment.
If it was a family that was caught by the remnants of the previous dynasty and had to do something, but didn't want to die, things would become much more reasonable.
Yu Heng stared greedily at the person he hadn't seen for a long time, and said hoarsely, "I don't know either."
Try it, you won't lose money.
Anyway, for Princess Xuanwei, it's just a half-day holiday for his subordinates.
The sudden change did not affect Emperor Changping and Ji Minyan who were attracting much attention.
Emperor Changping glanced over the swaying assassins, and stayed for a while longer on Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, who had been together at the same place since some time, when he suddenly felt that the jade box in his hand was a bit heavy, and wanted to throw it out.
Maybe if it hits something, it will open automatically.
He lowered his eyes to suppress his inexplicable thoughts, and according to Ji Xinxue's instructions, he carefully felt the bottom of the jade box with his fingertips, and sure enough he felt a barely detectable bulge.
Press down hard.
More and more obvious gaps gradually appeared in the center of the seamless jade box.
Ji Minyan's tone was full of undisguised surprise and joy, "This jade box has been in the hands of my daughter for many days, and it has never changed. It opened automatically when it was in Aye's hands. It is indeed..."
Worthy of what?
Because of being too excited, Ji Minyan's mind was left blank, staring at Emperor Changping for a long time without saying a word, so anxious that tears fell down her cheeks like broken beads.
The courtiers who were also attracted by Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng who were standing next to each other all came back to their senses, looking at the jade box in Emperor Changping's hands full of awe.
Especially the courtiers who followed Ji Minyan to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors.
They all carefully observed the jade box in Ji Minyan's hands, and made sure that there were no gaps in the jade box.
Seeing that the eldest daughter was crying miserably as if the sky was falling, Emperor Changping immediately forgot about the annoying second son, and hurriedly opened the jade box to comfort his daughter.
"Look... it's a dragon scale."
Even though he had learned from Ji Xinxue that there were dragon scales and jade pendants in the jade box, and when he saw the 'dragon scale' illuminated by the sun in five colors, Emperor Changping still couldn't regain his senses.
He took out a palm-sized 'Dragon Scale' and held it high above his head so that everyone around could clearly see the five-color light that flowed when the dragon scale moved.
Perhaps the top gem or jade is as magnificent as this 'dragon scale'.
However, he was used to seeing gorgeous gemstones and jade, but this was the first time he saw 'Dragon Scale'.
It is still engraved with Changping's year name and his former title "Jia" on the front, and his name "Dragon Scale" on the back.
If the knife work of the lettering can be more exquisite, maybe the 'Dragon Scale' will be more perfect.
Emperor Changping restrained the appreciation in his eyes, looked around at the sluggish looks of the people around him, and suddenly felt that the second son who was holding his head up and smirking was much more pleasing to the eye than before.
Ji Xinxue felt Emperor Changping's gaze, and thought to herself that the courtiers in this class are not good, and they always lose the chain at critical moments.
He squeezed his throat, raised his arms and shouted, "It's dragon scales! Your Majesty is really a real dragon!"
Instead of dissipating the shock and obsession in the eyes of the people around, they all turned into frenzy.
"True Dragon!"
"Your Majesty is a real dragon!"
……
Although the people in the distance can't see the specific shape of the 'dragon scale' clearly, for them, the multicolored light is far more convincing than the shape of the dragon scale.
Only dragon scales can have such a magnificent color!
Emperor Changping didn't believe in real dragons, nor in Long Live.
He stared fixedly at Ji Xinxue, only in his mind was Ji Xinxue's arrogance as he held up the hand that was holding hands with Yu Heng's ten fingers to demonstrate to him.
Ji Xinxue sensitively sensed something was wrong, the smile on her face gradually stiffened, and she whispered, "Aye... you don't look very happy?"
Yan Meng immediately said, "Your Majesty got the dragon scale, how could you be unhappy?"
Yu Heng rubbed his red ears, his phoenix eyes were full of bright smiles, he didn't listen to Qing Ji Xinxue's words at all, and nodded perfunctorily.
After a long time, the courtiers and common people whose voices were already hoarse stopped calling one after another.They reluctantly stared at the place where the 'Dragon Scale' used to exist, as if they wanted to remember the trajectory of the colorful light falling back to the jade box forever in their minds.
Emperor Changping took out the jade pendant and found that his name had already appeared on the jade pendant that had no traces of engraving.
In the fifth year of Emperor Jianxing, a small country in the south presented a piece of glass-like, almost transparent jade.
What's even more rare is that although the background color of the jade is almost transparent, there is a refreshing green at every distance.
Emperor Jianxing loved this piece of jade very much. He took out the best part of the water head and ordered the craftsmen to carve a flying dragon on the green part, just like an ice dragon lying on a green field, and engrave the name of the eldest son on the back.When the eldest son was named as the prince and the eldest son's mausoleum was expanded, he was put in the eldest son's tomb.
After many years, the youngest son of Emperor Jianxing gradually grew up, smart and smart, just like the eldest son.On the fifth birthday of his youngest son, Emperor Jianxing ordered craftsmen to carve the remaining jade into jade pendants, one of which was engraved with the name of the second son and the other with the name of the youngest son.
Empress Jianxing preferred the youngest son, and deliberately ordered the craftsman to engrave the name of the youngest son on the piece of jade preferred by the craftsman in Shuitou, and give the second son the one that was slightly worse.
Under the urging of Emperor Jianxing and the Empress, the craftsmen first finished carving the jade pendant for King Fu before starting to carve the jade pendant for Emperor Yanguang.
Emperor Yanguang didn't know where he heard the news, so he broke into the palace where the craftsman carved the jade pendant with his sword in his drunkenness, and pierced his heart with an arrow.
Because the jade pendant that had been carved but had not been engraved with a name was stained with the blood of the craftsman, Emperor Jianxing casually ordered someone to put it into the warehouse.
From then on, no one in the know dared to mention this piece of jade, except that King Fu, who knew nothing, walked around wearing his jade pendant all day long.
Naturally, no one would know that after Emperor Yanguang ascended the throne, for some reason, he allowed the favored concubine Ji to choose at will from the private treasury of Emperor Jianxing and Empress Jianxing.
The Empress Dowager Su happened to know the origin of this jade pendant, and she sealed it at the bottom of the box as soon as she found out that this jade pendant was in her hands for no reason.
Emperor Changping rubbed his fingertips lightly, unable to see the old and new characters of 'Linyuan', so he lowered his eyes to get rid of the complexity.
"Aye?" A guilty conscience flashed in Ji Minyan's eyes.
Although she participated in Ji Xinxue's plan, she didn't know what was in the jade box beforehand, let alone the meaning of this jade pendant that she had never seen before.
Emperor Changping shook his head, strode to Qinghe County King and Xinyang County King, held the jade pendant in front of their eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Do uncle and uncle know the origin of this jade pendant? Why did grandfather give it to you?" Give me."
"This……"
"impossible!"
Shock appeared in the eyes of Qinghe County King and Xinyang County King.
Ji Xinxue went to Fengxiang Palace when the sky was still dark.
He never said why he prevented Emperor Changping from going to the Great Court Meeting in advance. Under Emperor Changping's probing eyes, he followed Song Nian as if nothing had happened, and went to the compartment to choose clothes and accessories for Emperor Changping.
Emperor Changping's facial features were magnificent, and only bright colors could set off his grace to the greatest extent.
Ji Xinxue hesitated for a while, and chose the regular clothes with the silver-red pomegranate satin presented by Ye Cheng as the base.
This material looks like an ordinary red, even lighter than many common reds, but as long as it is exposed to sunlight, the color of the whole dress will become more intense visible to the naked eye, and it is thicker than the red of the Central Plains.
The collar and cuffs are embroidered with fine and delicate dragon patterns with gold thread, which will flash when touched by sunlight and candlelight, just in line with the characteristics of the fabric.
Having chosen clothes with such strong colors, the hair crown and accessories cannot be light, otherwise it will feel top-heavy.
Ji Xinxue pondered for a moment, then turned around and went straight to the innermost cabinet. He remembered that the birthday gift Yu Heng gave to Emperor Changping this year seemed to be placed here.
Song Nian followed Ji Xinxue step by step, chatting casually, "What's the happy event today?"
Ji Xinxue personally went to move the round stool in the corner, and took down the wooden box placed on the high place.
The gold hair crown is inlaid with red jade dragons on the left and right, and in the middle is a night pearl that can be seen fluorescently during the day. It is also equipped with a gold waist ornament inlaid with red jade flying dragons of the same color. It is exactly the set of accessories that Ji Xinxue is looking for .
He looked up at Songnian, explaining that it was true or false, "Aye has been sick for a long time, and he will finally show up at Xiaochao. Choosing clothes that can show his spirit will make all officials feel more at ease."
Songnian felt that Ji Xinxue was joking with him, and bowed solemnly, "Your Highness is still considerate."
Ji Xinxue smiled, and walked out of the compartment with the selected clothes and accessories.
Yesterday the imperial mausoleum paid homage to the ancestors, and today he has been sick for many days, and even Emperor Changping, who was absent from the Great Court Meeting because of this, appeared in the Xiaochao Meeting with a radiant complexion.
When the news of the "ancestor's apparition" reaches Chang'an, the courtiers will definitely conclude that the ancestors of the Ji family protected Changping Emperor.
Emperor Changping could easily see through Ji Xinxue's thoughts through the gorgeous robes and accessories.
He smiled, got up and stretched his arms, and waited for Ji Xinxue to serve him to change clothes with peace of mind.
Although the courtiers were not flustered because of Emperor Changping's illness for many days, seeing the radiant Emperor Changping suddenly lifted their spirits, and they no longer remained silent during the court meeting.
Whether it is the upstarts in northern Xinjiang, the courtiers of Chang'an, or the officials who returned to Chang'an to report their duties at the end of the year, they all rushed to express their concerns about Emperor Changping.
They express it either bluntly or tactfully.
Ever since they heard the news that Emperor Changping was unwell, they were worried that Emperor Changping would not be able to eat well and sleep well, so they spent almost all their spare time praying for Emperor Changping.
There are only a few best ways to flatter, but there are double digits of people who are eligible to participate in the Xiaochaohui.
Everyone wants to gain the upper hand, and the result must be that some people are happy and others are worried.
Those who are dissatisfied subconsciously use the tricks that have been tried and tested... to dismantle the "opponent" and then pick the victory of the opponent.
In the past two quarters of an hour, Ji Xinxue once again saw the familiar "head-talking" link.
He blinked, and looked thoughtfully at Emperor Changping with a calm expression.
Although the metaphor is not appropriate, the appearance of the courtiers at this time is really like a male peacock with its tail standing upright.
According to Ji Xinxue's estimate, the news of the 'ancestor's apparition' will probably take one and a half to two days to reach Chang'an, that is tonight or tomorrow morning.
Suddenly hearing someone outside the study door yelling 'Hurry up at eight hundred miles to the imperial mausoleum', Ji Xinxue's eyes were dazed, and she subconsciously reacted the same way as the courtiers, and fixed her eyes on the door.
How can it be so fast?
Is there an accident in any link?
The messengers were not only the Jinwu Guards in soft armor, but also Ji Cheng who was almost dying.
Ji Cheng's knee hit the ground heavily, and he said out of breath, "Your Majesty! Ancestor, Ancestor manifested! Special gift from the late emperor..."
Ji Xinxue's eyelids twitched violently, and she rushed to the side of the already limp person, "Ji Cheng!" What is the former emperor?
If you make it clear, you will be dizzy again!
Fortunately, it was used in the Jinwu Guard, and immediately used clear and orderly language to explain in detail what happened in the imperial mausoleum yesterday, and in time Ji Xinxue's heart that was about to jump out of his chest calmed down.
Although there was an unplanned 'ancestor's dream', there was nothing wrong with the most important candidate.
The person who 'appeared' was Emperor Jianxing, not Emperor Yanguang!
Emperor Changping only knew that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng wanted to 'discover' auspiciousness in the process of offering sacrifices to their ancestors, but never carefully investigated how they planned to create auspiciousness.
To him, it was already an extremely rare performance for two lazy people to suddenly work hard and be willing to carefully plan and plan a major event that could deceive the entire court.
It is worthwhile for him to do some convenience for them, such as changing his plan to go to the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors in person due to the sudden wind and cold.
Knowing the specific process of the appearance of 'Xiangrui' from Jin Wuwei, Emperor Changping suddenly regretted it.
If he had known it would be so interesting, he should have found a reason to leave Mo Yao alone in Chang'an, and go to the imperial mausoleum to watch the fun.
The regret in his heart didn't affect the seriousness between Emperor Changping's eyebrows at all, he scolded in a deep voice, "Nonsense! How can you easily draw conclusions on such a serious matter?"
The courtiers who had already been shocked by the picture drawn by Jin Wuwei came back to their senses at the words of Emperor Changping, and the shame in their eyes became stronger and stronger as they looked at each other in blank dismay.
Although no one can bribe Qinghe County King, Xianglin County King and Princess Huai'an at the same time, but...
Such an outrageous thing should not be easily believed.
Compared with His Majesty, they are too restless.
Ji Xinxue knew that with the friendship between Yu Heng and Ji Cheng, since Ji Cheng was asked to report back to Chang'an in person, even if they did not reveal their plan to Ji Cheng, there would be other explanations.
It's a pity that Ji Cheng was so useless, he passed out before he could speak.
Ji Xinxue secretly said 'sorry', covered Ji Cheng's lips with her thumb, and exerted force.
"Huh?" The man with his eyes closed groaned in pain.
At the same time, the calm voice of the Jinwu Guard sounded again.
"After the sacrifice, the King of Xianglin immediately ordered the Jinwu Guards to check nearby to see if anyone was hiding in the dark with musical instruments. The ministers and others dug the ground three feet, but they did not notice any abnormalities."
"Back to the Biezhuang, Xianglin County King Shih ordered the imperial physician to check the pulses of him, Qinghe County King, and Princess Huai'an, and ordered the guests to meet them. The three imperial physicians and the two guests did not feel any difference."
"The left guard of Princess Anguo's Mansion was ordered by King Xianglin to inquire about the news with the surrounding people."
"The common people all say that no stranger has appeared nearby in recent years. On the auspicious time of offering sacrifices to the ancestors, the people and craftsmen in the surrounding villages all saw the sudden appearance of the golden beam of light, and they all called it the emperor's manifestation. The emperor blesses you. Occasionally someone with very good hearing can hear the sound of fairy music and the roar of dragons and tigers."
The Jinwu Guard was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered something he had almost forgotten, and he sped up his speech silently.
"During the sacrifice, Princess Huai'an saw Emperor Jianxing in a dream. Emperor Jianxing gave Princess Huai'an a jade box and ordered Princess Huai'an to hand it over to Her Majesty. When Princess Huai'an boarded a few tables, her hands were empty Nothing, but at the end of the sacrificial ceremony, there was an extra jade box in his hand, the keyhole and the joint could not be found."
"In addition to Princess Huai'an, Prince Qinghe saw Princess An, and Prince Xianglin saw Princess Qin."
"Only Princess An's confession to Prince Qinghe cannot be proven. All the accompanying clans admitted that Princess Qin had confessed to King Xianglin in a dream. King Ling and Duke Heping inspected the altar in person, but found no place to hide the jade box. "
Emperor Changping raised half of his eyebrows, and silently accelerated the speed of tapping his fingertips on the armrest, the regret in his heart deepened.
The common people at the foot of the mountain can also see the golden beam of light, the fairy music, and the dragon's chant, proving that these things are not blindfolded but have really existed.
Tsk, it's a bit of a loss.
But Min Yan and Jing Yu would willingly accompany Xiao Wu to mess around... which is good news.
If Xiao Wu and Feng Lang can always maintain their current positive attitude, maybe they can really get everyone's approval under the circumstance that they are doomed to have fatal flaws.
Thinking of this, Emperor Changping's frown suddenly relaxed.
It doesn't matter even if it can't be done, at least it has proved that the method Xiao Wu told him at the beginning was really a compensation that Xiao Wu and Feng Lang racked their brains to think of, and it was not a bet that he would soften his heart.
Compared with Emperor Changping, he was prepared earlier, and determined that the so-called "ancestral apparition" was Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng's means.After listening to Jin Wuwei's detailed explanation, the courtiers were even more convinced of the "ancestor's apparition".
The remorse in their hearts is no less than that of Emperor Changping.
The last "miracle" recorded in the history books happened 2000 years ago. All the immortals joined hands to celebrate the emperor's birthday.
Not only did the honored emperor live to the age of 88 without any disease or disaster, but the courtiers who participated in the birthday banquet also lived a long life and died well.
If they can also go to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors, can they also... Sigh.
After Ji Xinxue's unremitting efforts, Ji Cheng finally opened his eyes against the completely swollen crowd. He stared at Ji Xinxue's direction lazily, as if he still couldn't fully recover, "Princess?"
Ji Xinxue shook her head, raised her hand to cover Ji Cheng's mouth, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, you can go to sleep."
There is no need for Ji Cheng to explain himself, the courtiers have already firmly believed in the "ancestor's appearance".
Because of the news from the imperial mausoleum, the courtiers were all absent-minded and lost in thought, and even completely forgot about the flowers that had already been pulled out of their heads.
It wasn't until the Xiaochaohui ended and Emperor Changping strode away that the courtiers came back to their senses under the reminder of the palace staff, and walked out of the palace in twos and threes.
Ji Xinxue brought Ji Cheng back to Yuhe Palace with a stinky face, and sure enough, he saw Ji Mingtong with a bright smile at the gate.
He stood between the two of them, and asked Ji Mingtong helplessly, "Where is Sister?"
Since Emperor Changping fell ill, Ji Mingtong ate and lived with Ji Jingrou all day long, but when Ji Cheng came back, he left Ji Jingrou and came to Yuhe Palace... As an insider, Ji Xinxue felt guilty for Ji Mingtong.
Ji Mingtong grabbed Ji Xinxue's arm and pulled it out of her sight. He couldn't tell whether he was relieved or complaining, "When my sister went to find Xuanwei, she always avoided me on purpose."
Ji Xinxue backed away along the strength of her arm, and turned to ask Ji Cheng about the details of the process of worshiping the ancestors, mainly to test out what happened to the so-called "ancestor entrusting dreams".
Ji Cheng honestly cooperated with Ji Xinxue's inquiry, and told Ji Xinxue what he saw and heard without reservation.
"Feng Lang asked me to bring you a sentence." He said slowly, "Let it be."
The mystery in Ji Xinxue's heart dissipated immediately.
He got it.
King Qinghe is old, no matter how energetic he is usually, he will show fatigue when he is tired, and he really dozed off during the ancestor worship process.
The so-called thinking day by day and dreaming at night, if the king of Qinghe County is still thinking about Yu Heng recently, it is not surprising that he would dream of Princess An.
Yu Heng just took advantage of the situation and offered Ji Minyan a more reasonable way to take out the jade box.
Compared with the original plan, Ji Minyan insisted that the jade box fell from the sky and followed the golden light to her hand, to test the confidence of the accompanying people in their eyesight.
Now tell everyone directly that Emperor Jianxing ordered her to hand over the jade box to Emperor Changping, so it was more natural that the jade box suddenly appeared on her.
Two days later, the news of the auspicious signs in the imperial mausoleum finally reached Chang'an from the imperial mausoleum.
The news of the common people came from merchants who happened to pass by nearby villages and small towns when they worshiped their ancestors in the imperial mausoleum.
They either saw the golden light that suddenly appeared, or heard the sound of fairy music and the roar of tigers and dragons, they took it for granted as an auspicious sign, and couldn't wait to tell others.
In just a few days, the news about the auspiciousness from heaven spread all over Gyeonggi-do, and spread to the surrounding Guannai, Shannan and Hadong provinces.
Because Ji Minyan had the jade box that Emperor Jianxing ordered her to hand over to Emperor Changping, when the people who went to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors returned to Chang'an, Emperor Changping personally took them out of the city to greet them in court clothes.
The people did not know where they got the news, and they left the city one day earlier, and stayed overnight outside the city gate in small groups, wanting to get close to the people who went to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors, and to get auspicious atmosphere.
Ji Xinxue rode a horse and followed the guard of honor of Emperor Changping, turning her head frequently to look for the people who were following far behind, her brows becoming more and more worried.
Emperor Changping had a panoramic view of Ji Xinxue's reaction, and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Why are you frowning on a good day to welcome the ancestor's will? Could it be that you are worried that the ancestor will be dissatisfied with me and punish me?"
Sensing the threat in Emperor Changping's eyes, Ji Xinxue immediately came back to his senses, and made a veiled promise, "The ancestors only appeared because they were satisfied with Aye's achievements, how could they be dissatisfied with Aye."
Emperor Changping lazily responded, the smile on the corner of his mouth remained unchanged.
Ji Xinxue tightened her grip on the horse's belly, and whispered to Emperor Changping, "Do you want to expel the people in advance?"
The remnants of the previous dynasty have not been completely eradicated. The more people there are, the easier it is to pose a threat to Emperor Changping's safety.
If he had known that today would be so lively, he would not have suggested that Emperor Changping go out of the city in person to receive the 'Emperor Jianxing's reward'.
Mo Yao, who was sitting on the frame with the golden knife in his arms, suddenly said, "No need."
The Jinwu Guards have already laid a net of heaven and earth in advance, and if the remnants of the previous dynasty dare to attack today, they will definitely lose their money.
Ji Xinxue turned her head to look at Mo Yao, and took the initiative to look away.
Although he didn't understand the deep meaning in Mo Yao's eyes, he was willing to believe in Mo Yao's ability, and also believed that Emperor Changping would not trust the wrong person.
He gradually fell behind the guard of honor of Emperor Changping, and ordered the guards accompanying him to go to the rear to prevent the people from approaching the guard of honor of Emperor Changping, so as to protect the safety of the people in case of accidents.
At least it can keep the people calm and avoid being injured due to panic.
At noon, the team going to the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors appeared in everyone's sight.
Ji Minyan was wearing court clothes, standing solemnly on the carriage frame at the front, holding up the jade box that Emperor Jianxing had handed over to her with both hands.
Ji Jingyu and Yu Heng were also wearing court clothes, standing by Ji Minyan's side respectively.
The rest of the people, the clan in front, the nobles and courtiers behind, knelt down neatly towards Emperor Changping.
Ji Xinxue's eyes lingered on Yu Heng for a while, then he got off the horse neatly, and knelt down at the same time as the people on his left and right.
Seeing this, the people in the distance also knelt down spontaneously.
For a moment, only Emperor Changping and Ji Minyan holding the jade box were left standing.
Ji Minyan kept holding the jade box high and jumped out of the carriage, strode towards Emperor Changping, and said loudly, "On the day of ancestor worship in the imperial mausoleum, my great-grandfather handed this object to my daughter, and asked her to present it to Aye."
Emperor Changping nodded, reached out to pick up the jade box, "It's hard work."
The texture of the jade box is so delicate that there are no gaps or traces of keyholes.
Before Emperor Changping could ask, Ji Minyan had already mentioned the characteristics of the jade box aloud, and said guiltily, "Daughter is ashamed, I don't remember whether my great-grandfather explained how to open the jade box."
Emperor Changping raised his hand to help Ji Minyan who was about to kneel down, "It's okay, I..."
Before the words fell, there was a sudden commotion nearby.
Ji Xinxue never imagined that it was not more and more people who went wrong, and it was not Emperor Changping who suffered the first disaster.
It was the Jinwu Guard who had the problem, and the Jinwu Guard was the first to suffer. More precisely, the assassin was the first to suffer.
The assassin who suddenly exploded had not had time to get close to Emperor Changping before he was pushed to the ground by the people beside him. Before he could cause panic, his jaw was removed and he collapsed limply on the spot.
Ji Xinxue got up and ran to the assassins, checking their badges one by one.
Junwu, Junwu, Junwu... or Junwu.
In the 21st year of Yanguang, Emperor Changping had split the Jinwu Guard. Neiwu and a very small number of Junwu stayed in the Jinwu Guard, and the rest were merged into the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.
There were nearly a hundred Junwu who were captured alive suddenly, this ratio is too outrageous.
"It may not be Junwu from Jinwu Guard, maybe it's just a counterfeit." A familiar voice rang in Ji Xinxue's ear.
"How is it possible?" Ji Xinxue held the temperature on her arm subconsciously, "Junwu who is not Jinwuwei, it is impossible to appear here..."
wrong!
Although Mo Yao and Jin Wuwei were solely responsible for the safety of Emperor Changping, it was limited to Chang'an.
As long as Emperor Changping leaves the range of Chang'an, all military defenses in Chang'an will deploy manpower to protect Emperor Changping.
According to the usual practice, in addition to the Jinwu Guard, there will also be people from the Habayashi Guard, Qianniu Guard, and Daying in the suburbs of Beijing.
Ji Xinxue carefully observed the assassin's belt badge again, and immediately noticed something was wrong.
The weight is wrong.
The belt of the Jinwu Guard should not be so light.
Ji Xinxue raised her head and looked around, her eyes were full of bright anger.
It has been eight years since Changping, yet someone still dares to pretend to be the Jinwu Guard to assassinate Emperor Changping?
Yu Heng patted Ji Xinxue on the back, took off the waist badge and handed it to Li Jinhuan who was beside him, and ordered, "Go back to Beijing immediately to find Princess Xuanwei, and send people to surround Cui Taishi's mansion and the British Duke's mansion, and there is no need to have anything to do with them." There is no need to restrict their movements for any communication."
Ji Xinxue's heart moved slightly, and she looked thoughtfully at the assassin who was being quietly dragged away.
He leaned close to Yu Heng's ear and asked in a low voice, "Do you think it's...they?"
It is really strange that so many 'trash' assassins were quietly prepared just to frighten Emperor Changping for a moment.
If it was a family that was caught by the remnants of the previous dynasty and had to do something, but didn't want to die, things would become much more reasonable.
Yu Heng stared greedily at the person he hadn't seen for a long time, and said hoarsely, "I don't know either."
Try it, you won't lose money.
Anyway, for Princess Xuanwei, it's just a half-day holiday for his subordinates.
The sudden change did not affect Emperor Changping and Ji Minyan who were attracting much attention.
Emperor Changping glanced over the swaying assassins, and stayed for a while longer on Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, who had been together at the same place since some time, when he suddenly felt that the jade box in his hand was a bit heavy, and wanted to throw it out.
Maybe if it hits something, it will open automatically.
He lowered his eyes to suppress his inexplicable thoughts, and according to Ji Xinxue's instructions, he carefully felt the bottom of the jade box with his fingertips, and sure enough he felt a barely detectable bulge.
Press down hard.
More and more obvious gaps gradually appeared in the center of the seamless jade box.
Ji Minyan's tone was full of undisguised surprise and joy, "This jade box has been in the hands of my daughter for many days, and it has never changed. It opened automatically when it was in Aye's hands. It is indeed..."
Worthy of what?
Because of being too excited, Ji Minyan's mind was left blank, staring at Emperor Changping for a long time without saying a word, so anxious that tears fell down her cheeks like broken beads.
The courtiers who were also attracted by Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng who were standing next to each other all came back to their senses, looking at the jade box in Emperor Changping's hands full of awe.
Especially the courtiers who followed Ji Minyan to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors.
They all carefully observed the jade box in Ji Minyan's hands, and made sure that there were no gaps in the jade box.
Seeing that the eldest daughter was crying miserably as if the sky was falling, Emperor Changping immediately forgot about the annoying second son, and hurriedly opened the jade box to comfort his daughter.
"Look... it's a dragon scale."
Even though he had learned from Ji Xinxue that there were dragon scales and jade pendants in the jade box, and when he saw the 'dragon scale' illuminated by the sun in five colors, Emperor Changping still couldn't regain his senses.
He took out a palm-sized 'Dragon Scale' and held it high above his head so that everyone around could clearly see the five-color light that flowed when the dragon scale moved.
Perhaps the top gem or jade is as magnificent as this 'dragon scale'.
However, he was used to seeing gorgeous gemstones and jade, but this was the first time he saw 'Dragon Scale'.
It is still engraved with Changping's year name and his former title "Jia" on the front, and his name "Dragon Scale" on the back.
If the knife work of the lettering can be more exquisite, maybe the 'Dragon Scale' will be more perfect.
Emperor Changping restrained the appreciation in his eyes, looked around at the sluggish looks of the people around him, and suddenly felt that the second son who was holding his head up and smirking was much more pleasing to the eye than before.
Ji Xinxue felt Emperor Changping's gaze, and thought to herself that the courtiers in this class are not good, and they always lose the chain at critical moments.
He squeezed his throat, raised his arms and shouted, "It's dragon scales! Your Majesty is really a real dragon!"
Instead of dissipating the shock and obsession in the eyes of the people around, they all turned into frenzy.
"True Dragon!"
"Your Majesty is a real dragon!"
……
Although the people in the distance can't see the specific shape of the 'dragon scale' clearly, for them, the multicolored light is far more convincing than the shape of the dragon scale.
Only dragon scales can have such a magnificent color!
Emperor Changping didn't believe in real dragons, nor in Long Live.
He stared fixedly at Ji Xinxue, only in his mind was Ji Xinxue's arrogance as he held up the hand that was holding hands with Yu Heng's ten fingers to demonstrate to him.
Ji Xinxue sensitively sensed something was wrong, the smile on her face gradually stiffened, and she whispered, "Aye... you don't look very happy?"
Yan Meng immediately said, "Your Majesty got the dragon scale, how could you be unhappy?"
Yu Heng rubbed his red ears, his phoenix eyes were full of bright smiles, he didn't listen to Qing Ji Xinxue's words at all, and nodded perfunctorily.
After a long time, the courtiers and common people whose voices were already hoarse stopped calling one after another.They reluctantly stared at the place where the 'Dragon Scale' used to exist, as if they wanted to remember the trajectory of the colorful light falling back to the jade box forever in their minds.
Emperor Changping took out the jade pendant and found that his name had already appeared on the jade pendant that had no traces of engraving.
In the fifth year of Emperor Jianxing, a small country in the south presented a piece of glass-like, almost transparent jade.
What's even more rare is that although the background color of the jade is almost transparent, there is a refreshing green at every distance.
Emperor Jianxing loved this piece of jade very much. He took out the best part of the water head and ordered the craftsmen to carve a flying dragon on the green part, just like an ice dragon lying on a green field, and engrave the name of the eldest son on the back.When the eldest son was named as the prince and the eldest son's mausoleum was expanded, he was put in the eldest son's tomb.
After many years, the youngest son of Emperor Jianxing gradually grew up, smart and smart, just like the eldest son.On the fifth birthday of his youngest son, Emperor Jianxing ordered craftsmen to carve the remaining jade into jade pendants, one of which was engraved with the name of the second son and the other with the name of the youngest son.
Empress Jianxing preferred the youngest son, and deliberately ordered the craftsman to engrave the name of the youngest son on the piece of jade preferred by the craftsman in Shuitou, and give the second son the one that was slightly worse.
Under the urging of Emperor Jianxing and the Empress, the craftsmen first finished carving the jade pendant for King Fu before starting to carve the jade pendant for Emperor Yanguang.
Emperor Yanguang didn't know where he heard the news, so he broke into the palace where the craftsman carved the jade pendant with his sword in his drunkenness, and pierced his heart with an arrow.
Because the jade pendant that had been carved but had not been engraved with a name was stained with the blood of the craftsman, Emperor Jianxing casually ordered someone to put it into the warehouse.
From then on, no one in the know dared to mention this piece of jade, except that King Fu, who knew nothing, walked around wearing his jade pendant all day long.
Naturally, no one would know that after Emperor Yanguang ascended the throne, for some reason, he allowed the favored concubine Ji to choose at will from the private treasury of Emperor Jianxing and Empress Jianxing.
The Empress Dowager Su happened to know the origin of this jade pendant, and she sealed it at the bottom of the box as soon as she found out that this jade pendant was in her hands for no reason.
Emperor Changping rubbed his fingertips lightly, unable to see the old and new characters of 'Linyuan', so he lowered his eyes to get rid of the complexity.
"Aye?" A guilty conscience flashed in Ji Minyan's eyes.
Although she participated in Ji Xinxue's plan, she didn't know what was in the jade box beforehand, let alone the meaning of this jade pendant that she had never seen before.
Emperor Changping shook his head, strode to Qinghe County King and Xinyang County King, held the jade pendant in front of their eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Do uncle and uncle know the origin of this jade pendant? Why did grandfather give it to you?" Give me."
"This……"
"impossible!"
Shock appeared in the eyes of Qinghe County King and Xinyang County King.
