I was a princess in ancient times

"What's impossible?" Emperor Changping looked at King Xinyang and asked, "Uncle Wang has seen this jade pendant?"

When the courtiers around heard the words, they all quietly changed their postures.

They quietly looked at the jade pendant in Emperor Changping's hand from the corner of their eyes.

The outer layer is almost transparent, and under the sunlight, it faintly emits the unique luster of jade, but the most moist part is the blue color in the center.

No matter how far away the person is, or whether they are old and dim, as long as they can feel the traces of carving on the jade pendant, they can be sure that it is in the shape of a dragon.

This effect can only be achieved by a top-quality carver who perfectly fits jade and is "in spirit rather than shape".

The bottom material is good, the carving is excellent, it is the best jade that is unforgettable!

The veterans who had gone through the three dynasties immediately froze in place, the disbelief in their eyes was no less than that of Qinghe County King and Xinyang County King.

Before Emperor Jianxing ascended the throne, most of Emperor Qianyuan's sons and daughters were killed in the assassination of Lieshan. Therefore, Emperor Qianyuan was unable to support himself, and he came into being in a hurry before paving the way for his successor.

Later, when King Yuan came to the throne at a young age, he could only compromise with strong ministers, so he was depressed.Even before the yuan was changed in the next year, he died of wind and cold.

After Emperor Jianxing ascended the throne, he not only had to face the turmoil brought about by the assassination of Lieshan, but also deal with the chaos caused by the faction between him and King Yuan.

It's a pity that his talent is limited, and he doesn't have a trusted confidant around him.Even if you have the intention of serving the country and the people, you can only use the most time-consuming and clumsy methods to stabilize the government.

It wasn't until the fifth year of Jianxing that the Yu Dynasty, which had begun to decline visibly since the assassination of the mountain in the Qianyuan Dynasty, stabilized and re-established the prestige of a great country.

It was at this time that the small country in the south sent envoys to Chang'an to meet Emperor Jianxing and present top-quality jade.

The significance of this piece of top-quality jade to Emperor Jianxing and the Yu Dynasty far exceeded its own value.

Soon after, Emperor Jianxing bestowed upon his eldest son Prince Zhaoyan, and ordered the most famous sculptor in the Yu Dynasty at that time to cut the best part of this top-quality jade and carve a jade pendant for Prince Zhaoyan.

Emperor Jianxing loved Prince Zhaoyan deeply, and he was full of praise for Yupei.

He once invited all the ministers to appreciate the jade pendant during the Great Court Meeting.Anyone who is qualified to go to the imperial court, even the Jinwu Guard who guards the gate, can watch the jade pendant that will be included in the imperial mausoleum up close.

Emperor Jianxing saw the shadow of Prince Zhaoyan in his youngest son, King Fu, and suddenly remembered the remaining jade.

Although the master who carved the jade pendant has passed away, there are craftsmen who have perfectly inherited the master's carving skills.

Under the order of Emperor Jianxing, the craftsmen used the remaining top-quality jade materials to carve identical jade pendants for King Fu and Emperor Yanguang.

The 'accident' that occurred during this period is a royal mystery.

Although the courtiers could vaguely get a glimpse of the wind, those who were particularly well-informed could even tell the whole process of the matter.

However, no matter how you calculate it, "the prince was jealous of his younger brother, beheaded and killed the craftsman after drinking" is a scandal.

Empress Jianxing stayed sick for half a month because of this, and Emperor Jianxing only punished Emperor Yanguang for half a month under another name. It can be seen that he did not want to ruin Emperor Yanguang's reputation because of this incident.

The courtiers would not contradict Emperor Jianxing and his wife when there was no profit to be made, nor would they offend Emperor Yanguang for no reason, so they all pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Even if they saw the unknowing King Fu walking around wearing the jade pendant that had been carved in advance, the courtiers just sighed secretly and never showed any clues on their faces.

Because the same jade pendant left a deep impression on their hearts, the veterans of the Jianxing Dynasty could immediately recognize the origin of the jade pendant with just one glance.

The top-quality jade donated by the small country in the south is only enough to carve three jade pendants.

The jade pendant belonging to Prince Zhaoyan has been sent to the imperial mausoleum in full view.

When King Fu was forced to death by Emperor Yanguang, the jade pendant that never left his body was taken away by Emperor Yanguang, and it was broken into several pieces in front of Empress Jianxing.When Empress Jianxing passed away, her palms tightly clutched the jade pendant that was barely put together.

The Qinghe County King and Xianglin Princess and other clans all asked Emperor Yanguang to treat his biological mother kindly, and the courtiers also spontaneously took the same position as the clan because they were afraid of Emperor Yanguang's madness.

Emperor Yanguang's compromise was to turn a blind eye to the affairs of Empress Jianxing and hand over the full power to the clan mansion, and the jade pendant belonging to King Fu would be buried with Empress Jianxing.

The two jade pendants are both deep in the imperial mausoleum, but the jade pendant that should have belonged to Emperor Yanguang is still missing.

But... this is the jade pendant bestowed to Emperor Changping by Emperor Jianxing himself.

According to common sense, Emperor Jianxing could take out the things in the imperial mausoleum?

It was clearly at noon when the sun was strongest, but the cranky old minister shuddered at the same time.

All kinds of messy and intertwined thoughts in Xinyang Junwang's mind crazily squeezed each other's space.

For a while, it was difficult to tell the difference.

Reason told him that the sudden appearance of the jade pendant was actually a strange phenomenon, and whatever he said at this moment might become a mistake in the future, so it was best not to have anything to do with it.

However, in the face of Emperor Changping's probing eyes, King Xinyang was unable to maintain his rationality.

He said hoarsely, "Your Majesty, can you show me the back of the jade pendant, is there any engraving?"

Emperor Changping raised the jade pendant with kindness, so that people around him could see the word 'Linyuan' clearly.

"My name is on the back of the jade pendant."

"How...how could it be?" The servant of the official department suddenly raised his head, staring straight at the jade pendant in Emperor Changping's hand, "Those three or three jade pendants have been carved, how could there be His Majesty's name?"

Prince Qinghe frowned, and reprimanded in a deep voice, "What nonsense!"

He only knew that Emperor Yanguang was unable to control his temper because of drunkenness, and in a fit of rage he raised his sword and beheaded the craftsman. He didn't know whether Emperor Yanguang's name was engraved on the jade pendant.

How can such things that damage the reputation of the late emperor be mentioned openly in full view?

Ji Xinxue moved nearby calmly, deeply worried that everyone couldn't find the point of speaking.He couldn't help reminding, "What's the origin of this jade pendant? Can Qiu Shilang clear up Aye's confusion?"

King Qinghe raised his head and looked at the people who were stopped by the Habayashi guards. After all, he was still unwilling to talk about the late emperor in the open suburbs of Beijing. The palace, so as not to be hit again."

Yu Heng looked around and winked at Ji Cheng who was shrinking in the corner.

Ji Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief, and he felt that Yu Heng wanted him to die.

He moved quietly, and whispered something in the ear of the same-age clan.

The eyes of the clan of the same age were full of hesitation. They first glanced at Yu Heng who was still looking over there, and then mustered up the courage to say, "What does the king of Xinyang say?"

Yu Heng immediately looked away, looking at Prince Xinyang as if nothing had happened.

At the same time, Ji Cheng fled to the farthest place from the clan of the same age at an unprecedented speed, for fear of being discovered by King Qinghe.

The king of Xinyang County has long been used to it. While maintaining his dissatisfaction with the King of Qinghe County, he followed the words of the King of Qinghe County.Suddenly hearing someone asking Qinghe County King what he thought after he spoke, the first emotion in Xinyang County King's heart was not joy, but bewilderment, and he subconsciously looked at Qinghe County King.

King Qinghe didn't look at him, but His Majesty, His Highness the Fifth Prince, King Xianglin, the surrounding courtiers and clan all looked at him intently.

This is unprecedented!

Because of the uncontrollable excitement, all kinds of complicated thoughts in Xinyang Junwang's mind disappeared one after another, leaving only one idea that became clearer and clearer.

'He's going to keep those eyes'

The king of Xinyang County used half an hour to tell all the past about Yupei without reservation.Not only did he successfully retain the original eyes on him, but he also attracted more eyes, including Prince Qinghe.

During this period, King Qinghe tried to interrupt King Xinyang several times, but was ignored by King Xinyang who had already forgotten what night it was.

He turned to look at Emperor Changping, hoping that Emperor Changping could stop Xinyang County King from ruining the reputation of the former emperor in time.

King Qinghe found that Emperor Changping was staring at the jade pendant in his hand in a daze, his eyes were full of focus and exploration, as if he was thinking about whether the so-called "ancestral apparition" was true or not.

He winked at Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng again, but Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were whispering together at the same place, and they didn't give him any corner of the eye from the beginning to the end.

When Prince Qinghe finally figured out that asking for help is worse than relying on himself, he planned to use a tough attitude to shut up Prince Xinyang.The king of Xinyang County has shaken off everything that can and cannot be said.

Because the king of Xinyang County started, the veteran officials of the three dynasties present also spoke one after another, telling the secrets about the jade pendant that they knew without reservation.

Compared with Qinghe County King, who always cared about the majesty and reputation of the late emperor because of the decency of the clan, the veterans of the three dynasties cared more about Emperor Changping.

The first emperor has been dead for nearly ten years, and no matter whether his reputation is good or bad, it will not have any influence on the court.However, Emperor Changping is in his prime, and his reputation among the people has been rising steadily in recent years. He has already caught up with Emperor Qianyuan and is now catching up with Emperor Wuning.

If they can raise Emperor Changping by belittling the first emperor...they are willing to do it even if there is no benefit!

After many years of suffocating in the dark, they finally had the opportunity to throw stones at the late emperor who had made them breathless. Throwing a few more stones would be sorry for the suffering they have suffered all these years.

What everyone said inside and outside the meaning is that the first emperor disappointed Emperor Jianxing completely, so Emperor Jianxing gave the jade pendant that was originally intended to be given to Emperor Changping instead to Emperor Changping.

Although King Qinghe paid attention to maintaining the emperor's face, he was undoubtedly closer to Emperor Changping. After all, he didn't bother to defend the late emperor, and acquiesced to the courtiers' statement.

Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue looked at each other, their eyes were full of inquiry and surprise.

When Ji Xinxue asked Emperor Changping in advance whether he could perform auspicious signs during the ancestor worship in the imperial mausoleum, he did not explain his specific plan to Emperor Changping in detail.

Only tell Emperor Changping that the auspicious signs can be accompanied by the 'ancestral apparition'.

He hinted that Emperor Changping could surprise Emperor Changping during the process of 'ancestral apparition', or accept 'customized services'.

Although Emperor Changping chose to surprise, just to be on the safe side, Ji Xinxue revealed in advance that he would use Emperor Jianxing to belittle Emperor Yanguang and elevate Emperor Changping, and use this to ask Emperor Changping for props.

It can also be regarded as a way to euphemistically test Emperor Changping's views on the first emperor.If Emperor Changping refuses, within a short time, Ji Xinxue will no longer think about the reputation of the late Emperor.

After getting the jade pendant from Emperor Changping, Ji Xinxue immediately went to the Empress Dowager Su to find out the origin of the jade pendant, and secretly speculated that Emperor Changping took out the jade pendant to show how much he could accept the late emperor.

After a slightly conservative prediction, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng agreed that the matter of gaining the late emperor's reputation should not be rushed.At least enough buffer time should be allowed for Emperor Changping to stop at any time.

So they just prepared various scripts in advance, and did not take huge risks to imply that the courtiers cooperated with them.

So far, only Ji Minyan knows their ultimate goal.

Ji Jingyu and Ji Cheng cooperated with them out of trust.

The two never expected that the courtiers would have such a deep tacit understanding to belittle Emperor Yanguang.

From the time when Emperor Changping took out the jade pendant until the courtiers agreed.

It was because Emperor Jianxing was completely disappointed with the first emperor that he transferred the jade pendant that was originally intended to be rewarded to the first emperor to Emperor Changping.

It only took less than two quarters of an hour.

Poor Mo Yao who was always standing beside Emperor Changping with the golden knife in his hand, he didn't even realize that the courtiers were belittling the late Emperor in front of him.

Although Bai Qianli was sharper than Mo Yao, she was not good at talking, and she was no longer the same as when she was in Yan Guang Dynasty.

The courtiers didn't vent their anger on Bai Qianli because they suddenly remembered their hatred for the late emperor, and criticized her verbally and in writing. This is the good result that Bai Qianli has never used special means to fight for power in these years.

She has forever lost the ability to make her colleagues in the court tremble with fear just by looking at her eyes.

After a long time, Emperor Changping sighed in disappointment.

He waved his hand to signal the courtiers to stop talking, and took out a purple jade butterfly jade pendant from his sleeve pocket.

Sensing the sudden sharp gaze from his side, Emperor Changping raised his eyelids subconsciously, and met the longing gaze of the young boy.

Emperor Changping turned his back to Yu Heng, and personally removed the bright yellow silk rope tied to the purple jade butterfly, and tied it to the ice dragon jade pendant.First put the purple jade butterfly back into the sleeve pocket properly, then lift up the ice dragon jade pendant and hang it around the neck.

"Don't bring up the past... that's all, go back to the palace."

Ji Xinxue found that Emperor Changping's footsteps were more hurried than usual, so she got up subconsciously to help him.

Feeling the numbness spreading upward from his toes, he realized that his legs and feet were already numb from squatting.He could only sit down where he was, and watch Emperor Changping stride away like flying.

"Is Aye...soft-hearted?"

Worry appeared in Ji Xinxue's eyes.

It's just that the courtiers belittled the first emperor a few words, and Emperor Changping's heart softened. Wouldn't it be impossible to proceed with the next steps?

"Guilt." Yu Heng slowly withdrew his gaze, full of regret.

"what?"

The hand that was beating his leg stopped in the air, and Ji Xinxue looked at Yu Heng in bewilderment.

There seems to be something wrong with his communication with Yu Heng?

Yu Heng raised his hand to pinch Ji Xinxue's leg, with an inexplicable grievance in his tone, "Didn't you see?"

Ji Xinxue gasped because she couldn't tell whether it was pain or itching in her legs, and almost jumped up and ran away.He was keenly aware that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and instead of following Yu Heng's words and asking him what he should see, he bent down and whispered something serious in Yu Heng's ear as if nothing had happened, "I've prepared the script, and I'll change it later when I have time." These details will be delivered to the designated storyteller within three days at the latest."

In this era, there is almost no sense of copyright. As long as a story becomes popular, not only the teahouses in the entire city will immediately remove the story as it is, but even the streets and alleys will have people grabbing business.

According to his and Yu Heng's original plan.

It will take nearly half a month to first guide the courtiers to completely separate Emperor Changping and Emperor Yanguang in their hearts, and then further arouse the courtiers' fear and disgust towards Emperor Yanguang.

When the courtiers hated Emperor Yanguang from the bottom of their hearts, they took advantage of the Chinese New Year vacation to spread the anecdote about the ancestor worship in the imperial tomb.

Now that the first step is directly cleared, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng have not had time to make arrangements, the courtiers have spontaneously separated Emperor Changping and Emperor Yanguang in their hearts, and attributed all the faults to Emperor Yanguang.

Ji Xinxue is going to start the second step directly, controlling public opinion.

Compared with the courtiers who had lived with the first emperor day and night, knew a lot of inside information, and had the ability to think and judge, the common people were more likely to be fooled and their emotions were more unstable.

Ji Xinxue didn't intend to walk the tightrope on the cliff. The script he wrote was the whole process of Ji's ancestor's appearance during the ancestor worship in the imperial mausoleum and the jade box that Princess Huai'an was handed over to Emperor Changping by Emperor Jianxing.

The focus is on the appearance of the ancestors and the dragon scales, which added fire to Emperor Changping's prestige among the people.

As for the ice dragon jade pendant... it depends on the people's acceptance of the first two things.

If the common people have a high degree of acceptance, because of the dragon scales, they have a strong curiosity about the ice dragon jade pendant, and actively explore things about the ice dragon jade pendant, he will let people slowly reveal the origin and story of the ice dragon jade pendant.

If the people are not interested in auspiciousness and dragon scales, there is no need to specifically emphasize the ice dragon jade pendant.

The common people seldom read books and didn't understand any major principles. Instead, without guidance, they could keep in mind the difference between Emperor Changping and the first emperor according to the increasing amount of surplus money in their hands and the gradual increase in meatiness at the dinner table.

Successfully tested the courtiers' resentment towards the first emperor, and made the courtiers subconsciously separate Changping Emperor and the first emperor in their hearts. The ice dragon jade pendant has achieved the best effect expected.

Emperor Changping climbed onto the carriage neatly, and felt at ease when he touched the purple jade butterfly still lying in his sleeve pocket.

Finding that Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue were not following him, he couldn't help but look back for their figures.

Without Purple Jade Butterfly, they would dare to ask for marriage at the Grand Court, if... Hehe.

Looking at it from the perspective of Emperor Changping, it seemed that Ji Xinxue was offering a kiss, and Yu Heng not only kissed back, but also touched Ji Xinxue's leg.

Blue sky and white sun, unseemly!

Poor Ji Xinxue was just discussing the script with Yu Heng, and after a short delay, Emperor Changping set off without warning, leading his courtiers and guards to leave in a mighty way.

If Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng hadn't reacted quickly enough to catch up in time, they would have almost been left on the outskirts of the city for the people to visit.

Whether it is the ancestor's appearance or the emperor Changping getting the dragon scale, they are all important events that are no less important than the palace banquet on New Year's Eve.

Emperor Changping complied with the courtier's request and temporarily ordered Ji Minyan, Ji Jingrou, Ji Mingtong and Princess Huayang to assist Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su in preparing the palace banquet.

In addition, the investigation of the assassin will be handed over to Ji Jingyu and Abu Hanbing.

Emperor Changping looked over Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, who were standing side by side, and landed on Ji Cheng and Ji Baoshan, "You go to Honglu Temple to entertain the Mohe royal family. This is their first New Year in Dayu. Be sure to make them feel like you are here." Come back."

Ji Cheng immediately responded, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the indifference of Abu Hanbing's face, and he couldn't help feeling worried.

Who doesn't know that those people who live in Honglu Temple are said to be the guests of the Mohe royal family in Chang'an, but in fact they are just prisoners.

The job of entertaining the royal family of Mohe is not difficult, but with His Majesty's eldest son-in-law in it, it is really difficult for him to grasp the measure.

Ji Baoshan blinked her eyes, and said crisply, "I don't know how to speak Mohe, how can I entertain the royal family of Mohe? It's better to let my minister go to Tranquility Palace to help grandma prepare the palace banquet."

Emperor Changping sneered.

If Ji Baoshan were to go to Tranquility Palace, Ji Mingtong would definitely use an excuse to coax his sister to be lazy.

Even though there were only two of them, the noise they made could be beyond the reach of twenty people.

"Cheng'er can't speak Mohe dialect, why can he entertain the royal family of Mohe?" Emperor Changping made up his mind that he couldn't raise another Ji Mingtong, and said with a straight face, "Don't you have the heart to treat him like a son at Honglu Temple alone?" Mohe royal family?

"Why can't I bear it?" Ji Baoshan said with a smile, "Fourth Sister can't bear it! Then I will change with Fourth Sister. I will go to Tranquility Palace to help grandma prepare a banquet, and let Fourth Sister accompany my uncle to Honglu Temple."

Ji Xinxue was opening her eyes, in a daze aboveboard, secretly thinking about how to change the script, her mind was full of keywords.

'Ancestor Apparition', 'Dragon Scale', 'Ice Dragon Jade Pendant'...

Surprised by Ji Baoshan's words, Ji Xinxue's eyes widened subconsciously.

What a terrible little ancestor!

"When I was studying Turkic in Northern Xinjiang, I heard from the generals that Yanning County Lord is not only proficient in Turkic, but can also speak fluently in Mohe and Rouran. It is better to let Yanning County Lord go to Honglu Temple to entertain the Mohe royal family. "

Yu Heng took half a step forward calmly, not only blocking the shock on Ji Xinxue's face, but also taking the initiative to attract Emperor Changping's attention, so that Emperor Changping would not notice Ji Cheng with a stiff face.

Although Emperor Changping didn't want to see Yu Heng because of the glimpse outside the city, he was very interested in Yu Heng's words and asked, "Has she ever spoken in a foreign language in front of you?"

He is an open-minded father, not only willing to reuse his son-in-law, but also giving his daughter-in-law a chance to show off.

The so-called Mohe royal family is nothing more than prisoners, and going to Honglu Temple to entertain them can be said to be a waste of credit.

Xiao Ning, who was about to become Princess Ling in half a year, just happened to lack some merit.

Ji Xinxue rubbed her face, and stepped her feet out from Yu Heng's shoulders, "I heard it! When my brother first returned to Chang'an, my sister was the host of Princess Huai'an's mansion and invited us to play. County Lord Yanning can not only use The Mohe language speaks to the king of Far North County, and can also speak the language of a small tribe in the north."

Compared with the force inherited from Xiao Ji, Xiao Ning's language talent is even more outstanding.

If there are more and more aliens coming and going with Chang'an in the future, Xiao Ning is very suitable to be the spokesperson of the clan and sit in Honglu Temple.

Emperor Changping's gaze stayed on Ji Xinxue's chin resting on Yu Heng's shoulder and fingers on Yu Heng's waist, and he turned his head expressionlessly for a moment longer.

If he hadn't kept in mind that 'emotions and anger are invisible', he would have asked Songnian and Jingzhe to throw out the unseemly two people.

Ji Baoshan didn't care at all who would end up with the job of entertaining the Mohe royal family at Honglu Temple.She only cares about whether she can choose a more desirable job when she can't be lazy.

Sensing Emperor Changping's sudden indifference, Ji Baoshan subconsciously thought that Emperor Changping did not believe Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue's words.

She trotted to Emperor Changping immediately, and tried her best to persuade Emperor Changping to replace her with Xiao Ning, "Fifth Brother is not lying, the Lord of Yanning County can speak many tribe languages, very powerful!"

"This is called..." Ji Baoshan turned her head to look at Ji Xinxue, her eyes suddenly flashed brightly, "Language talent! County Lord Yanning has a language talent that no one else has."

An ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Ji Xinxue's heart, and she subconsciously stopped Ji Baoshan from saying, "You..."

In order to prove that she remembered correctly, Ji Baoshan gave an example, "Uncle and Fourth Sister secretly went to the garden to learn a foreign language behind everyone's backs. It took two hours and they didn't say a word, so they had no language." talent!"

Ji Xinxue shut up silently, and turned to look at Ji Cheng who kept his calm by perseverance.

Two people who can only speak Mandarin, secretly, learning, foreign language?

It's a pity that Emperor Changping didn't notice the dark tide in the study because he deliberately didn't look at Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, and didn't give any attention to Ji Cheng who happened to be blocked by them.

He still had anger towards Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng in his heart, and was annoyed by Ji Baoshan's nonsense, he sneered, "Since Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong have no language talent, they are not suitable to go to Honglu Temple to entertain the royal family of Mohe, so you and Xiao Ning will go .”

Ji Baoshan was dumbfounded, and quickly said, "I don't have language talent either!"
