I was a princess in ancient times

"En." Emperor Changping responded calmly, and asked Ji Baoshan for the last time, "Are you going?"

It's the end of the year, and there are trivial matters everywhere, if Ji Baoshan really doesn't want to go to Honglu Temple, there are naturally other places where she can settle down.

Ji Baoshan took half a step back subconsciously, and calmed down like a puppy that was suddenly grabbed by the back of the neck, "I'll go to Yanning County Lord and tell her the good news!"

After speaking, she turned around and ran out the door without giving Emperor Changping any chance to change her words.

The last time I saw Emperor Changping's expression, Ji Baoshan was personally escorted by Mo Yao to the clan mansion, where she ate fast and recited scriptures with many mischievous clans, offering sacrifices to the ancestors for half a month.

Even though more than half a year had passed, she still couldn't forget how terrifying Mo Yao's calm gaze and the smiling face of Prince Qinghe County were.

In contrast, Honglu Temple is a good place.

The Yanning County Lord is as easy to talk to as an elder brother, and he is willing to love her.

As long as she is well-behaved, why can't she be lazy?

As the hurried footsteps gradually receded, Ji Xinxue sensitively noticed that the atmosphere in the study room was getting more and more stuffy.

He resisted the thought of looking back at Ji Cheng's expression, and bravely broke the silence, "Aye, when we were still outside the city, Feng Lang asked Lin Wei to take his waist card back to Chang'an to find Sister Xuanwei, please declare Sister Wei and her Jinwu guards had tea and wine."

Although at the age of Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong, they will be stabbed sooner or later, but the Chinese New Year is about to come... At least give Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong some time to prepare gold sore medicine and wound cloth in advance.

Emperor Changping heard the sound and looked at Ji Xinxue, but Yu Heng's entire face and half of Ji Xinxue's face were in sight.While he deeply felt that Yu Heng was an eyesore, he always felt that Yu Heng's gaze was on his cuff.

Yu Heng seemed to sense Emperor Changping's gaze, and suddenly raised his eyelids, his dark eyes contained a vague plea, very much like a bear cub eagerly begging for honey from Emperor Changping.

Emperor Changping looked away first, and said with a sneer, "What are you talking to me about for such a small matter, do you want me to pay for you to buy tea and drink for Xuanwei's Jinwu Guards?

He seemed to change his posture inadvertently, and his palms naturally rested on the cuffs.

Touching the butterfly-shaped protrusion, Emperor Changping's slightly frowning brows immediately stretched.

Ji Xinxue didn't care whether there was any sarcasm in Emperor Changping's tone, she just took it as a joke, took advantage of the opportunity to test Emperor Changping's views on "ancestral apparition", and said with a smile, "Fenglang and Ji Cheng just came back from the imperial mausoleum, isn't Aye Should they be rewarded?"

If the money for treating the Jinwu Guard under Princess Xuanwei to drink tea and drink is paid out of the reward, it can be considered that Emperor Changping paid the money for him and Yu Heng.

Emperor Changping understood Ji Xinxue's hint, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze again.

Ever since Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng had a sudden meeting at the court and suddenly asked to get married according to the engagement contract, Emperor Changping looked more and more pleasing to the eyes of A Buhan Bing and Xiao Ning who had always felt inadequate before.

Whether it's Ah Buhan Bing from Mohe, or Xiao Ning who came all the way to Chang'an with Ji Jingyu, at least they can give him some comfort.

Only Ji Xinxue...

Not only did he lose his two daughters-in-law at the same time, but he also had the subtle illusion that his silly son with a big red flower on his chest was always planning to climb over the wall.

Emperor Changping stared at Ji Xinxue for a while, and decided to take precautions and build the wall in time.

He turned his head to look at Yu Heng and Ji Cheng, his eyes were full of gentleness and kindness, "Xiao Wu's reminder is correct, this trip is really hard. When it comes to the New Year's Eve, there will be no shortage of rewards from you."

Ji Cheng and Yu Heng bent down and bowed at the same time, "Your Majesty's words are serious, this is a matter of the minister's duty, so there is no such thing as hard work."

Emperor Changping nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile, "You guys go, go back to the mansion early to rest. Before the next court meeting, there is no need to go to the palace to pay your respects."

When Ji Cheng heard this, his numb eyes finally regained their light.He bowed again to thank him, and was startled to realize that the shirt had been completely soaked with sweat at some point, and it was sticking to his body.

Yu Heng hesitated for a while, but finally bent down when he heard Ji Cheng's trembling voice amidst his joy.

Before he communicated with A Xue, His Majesty took the purple jade butterfly which was broken by Rong Guang and sent it to the master to repair and perfunctory him, and refused to return the token of his engagement to A Xue.

now……

An unknown light flashed in Yu Heng's eyes, and he turned and walked towards the door as if nothing had happened.

Emperor Changping coughed lightly, and said to the backs of the three, "Xiao Wu stay here and tell me about your plan to set up a market in the north."

Ji Xinxue turned her head in disbelief, "Aye?"

On this trip to the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors, Yu Heng had to leave Chang'an for at least half a month.

Except for the two years when Yu Heng went to northern Xinjiang, he and Yu Heng had hardly been separated for so long.

After finally looking forward to Yu Heng's return, Emperor Changping asked him to work overtime?

Emperor Changping raised his hand to cover his mouth, lest the younger generation notice the sudden joy in his heart, and said solemnly, "The border guards of the Hebei Army and the Guannei Army turned up at the same time, asking Chang'an to allow them to trade with foreign races."

When Ji Xinxue heard this, the shock in his eyes gradually turned into hesitation.

It is impossible for the generals on the frontier to send it to Chang'an, which only says "Please Your Majesty to allow the subjects to trade with foreign races", and there must be detailed reasons and plans in it.

There are still more than half a month before the Chinese New Year. If we can refer to the opinions of the generals on the border in time to determine the specific procedures and trade methods for establishing a stable mutual market in northern Xinjiang, we will make corresponding preparations during the Chinese New Year.

Maybe before the start of the new year, or even stepping on the tail of the new year, when most people have not heard the news, the prototype of the mutual market can be built in the designated area.

He has already summed up the experience through the implementation of the New Deal.

But the faster the speed, the less trouble.

As long as it is so fast that the trouble-seekers can't react, the people who originally planned to make troubles will turn into people who try their best to catch up with the changes.

The time and energy saved will not be doubled.

Ji Cheng wiped off the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and had to stop along with Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng.

If it wasn't for the serial backstabs by Ji Baoshan just now, he would almost shed crocodile tears.

His Majesty first asked Yu Heng to go back to the manor to rest earlier, and not to enter the palace to pay his respects before the next court meeting, and then kept Ji Xinxue.

What does it mean.

Do you still need an explanation?

It's a pity... Now that he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, he can't protect himself. How can he have the extra thoughts to sympathize with Yu Heng?

Ji Xinxue looked up at Yu Heng, and quietly blinked her eyes facing Yu Heng.

He is not stupid, even if he is putting all his thoughts on ancestor worship in the imperial mausoleum and the mutual market in northern Xinjiang, he will not ignore Emperor Changping's barely concealed 'maliciousness'.

It's just a secret stumbling block, even for Emperor Changping, it's not even a stumbling block, it can only be said that it's the old father's finding fault, which is countless times better than the worst outcome he and Yu Heng expected.

Of course, if the old father wants to smooth his hair, he can't wrong Feng Lang.

"When you go to the British government to visit the Minister of Honglu Temple, ask someone to send me a message in advance, and I will ask Qingyun to prepare some medicinal materials to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the vitality." Ji Xinxue instructed Yu Heng, and at the same time, he did it quickly a mouth shape.

'award'

Yu Heng's old injuries in northern Xinjiang have completely healed, and he no longer has to worry about being emotionally affected by certain things.

Emperor Changping knocked on the table impatiently.

He didn't want Ji Xinxue to accompany Yu Heng to visit Qi Boxuan in the British government, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to stop him for a while.

Even if it wasn't Yu Heng's father who was sick, but their companions, if their parents suddenly fell ill, with Ji Xinxue's temperament, she would personally go to the companions' home to visit their elders.

Although time has not passed for a long time, from Emperor Changping's words to leave Ji Xinxue behind, to when Ji Xinxue asked Yu Heng, only two breaths have passed in total, but Ji Cheng feels as if more than ten years have passed.

If there was a chance to turn back time, he would definitely leave here without looking back when Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng stopped.

In order not to be frightened by the sound of knuckles hitting the table, struggling hard between kneeling and not kneeling.

Fortunately, Yu Heng didn't make Ji Cheng suffer for too long.

He passed Ji Xinxue by stepping on the knocking sound that had not completely dissipated, and kindly helped Ji Cheng whose legs were already weak and unable to walk.

Feeling the cold wind blowing in front of him, Ji Cheng was almost moved to tears.

He, today, unexpectedly, was able to walk out of His Majesty's study alive!

Helplessness appeared in Yu Heng's eyes, the frame was completely broken, and the person leaning on him left Fengxiang Palace and walked towards the palace gate.

"You..." The words on the lips changed several times, but nothing was said in the end.

He really didn't know how to instruct Ji Cheng.

Even if Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong hid their friendship seamlessly, they still couldn't escape the flaw that the male college should be married and the female college should be married. Sooner or later, they will be seen through by Emperor Changping and Prince Qinghe.

Judging from the current situation, there seems to be no big difference between voluntarily confessing and being caught.

He and A Xue are just... on probation.

There is no way to provide reference experience for Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong.

Ji Cheng stared blankly at the setting sun falling in the sky, and murmured, "If something about me and Mingming is discovered someday, you don't need to worry about me, you must take good care of Mingming."

Yu Heng nodded silently, without mentioning that he had asked Imperial Physician Zhu to find the most experienced bone setter, who spent countless precious medicinal materials to concoct a good medicine that can quickly reduce swelling.

These things are specially prepared for Ji Cheng.

... As we all know, Emperor Changping would never do anything to his juniors. The most serious punishment was to ground his feet to copy books or go to the ancestral hall of the clan mansion to serve the ancestors, but the prince of Qinghe County would.

Ji Cheng's brows were filled with unbearable distress, "She can get whatever she wants since she was a child, she has never suffered, and she has never seen His Majesty's cold face, so I'm afraid she won't be able to bear the grievance."

Yu Heng nodded slightly, and comforted him in a low voice, "Your Majesty loves Jin Ming the most, and will not show her a cold face. The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager will also protect Jin Ming."

Who doesn't know that Ah Xue and Jin Ming are Concubine Su's hearts.

Concubine Su's heart is Queen Mother Su's heart.

The matter between him and A Xue involves the throne, Concubine Su is willing to intercede for them.

When it was Ji Cheng and Jin Ming's turn, Concubine Su would not stand idly by.

Yu Heng followed Ji Cheng's worries and thought about it, and realized that Ji Cheng's situation was far more dangerous than Ji Mingtong's, and reminded, "You, practice martial arts diligently, don't slack off."

Not only the prince of Qinghe County believes in the stick, but the prince of Qinghe County is more ruthless than the prince of Qinghe County.

The prince of Qinghe County wanted to attack Ji Cheng, but he and A Xue could still help him stop him.If Qinghe County King personally waved his whip in anger... let alone him and Axue, I am afraid that Concubine Su and Queen Mother Su would not dare to let Qinghe County King hold his breath.

Ji Cheng nodded absently, his mind was full of Ji Mingtong's emaciated figure and his face washed with tears.With a long sigh, he said goodbye to Yu Heng at the palace gate, and said in a low voice, "I'll go to Qingwan Alley to see if there are any new gadgets, so as not to be bored when I can't leave the palace."

Yu Heng nodded, and stood there watching Ji Cheng ride his horse away.

He didn't understand that Jin Ming had Empress Dowager Su, Concubine Su, brothers and sisters who could be relied on, and younger siblings who were innocent and immature, how could it be boring?

Lin Zhao didn't expect Yu Heng to return home today, so he hurried to the gate to greet him.

"The king of the county." He looked at Yu Heng's expression carefully, and told Yu Heng the business first, "The fifteenth man of the British government is waiting for the king in the flower hall. He rushed to the princess's mansion at about three o'clock, saying that the elders in the family were not happy. Don't worry about the king, tell him that he must see the king before he can report back to the British government."

Lin Zhao sneered, the king of the county often travels a lot, and never saw the British government send people from his tribe to greet him at the first time, insisting on making sure that the king of the county is well.

There are monsters in things... nine out of ten have no good intentions.

Yu Heng responded, and looked at Luo Zhong inside the room through the open door.

It was already Youshi, and Qi Shiwulang had been waiting for nearly three hours.

Calculating the time, the British government should have sent Qi Shiwulang to the princess mansion to look for him after they discovered the Jinwu Guard outside the mansion.

"Go to Doctor Zhu and ask him to prepare some ointment for bruises. As long as it has a miraculous effect, you don't need to care about the value of the medicinal materials." Yu Heng passed the corridor leading to the flower hall without squinting, and walked straight to the main room.

Worry appeared in Lin Zhao's eyes, and he observed Yu Heng more carefully, "You..."

"It's okay, it's not for me." Yu Heng shook his head, and then ordered, "If you want to find some toys for the young man to pass the time, it's best to have some camouflage on the outside."

Ji Cheng only knows about Ji Mingtong, tsk, idiot.

After washing off the dust from his body and changing into comfortable and clean new clothes, Yu Heng asked Qingzhu to take Qi Shiwulang to the study room of Lenghuiyuan.

Lin Zhao followed Yu Heng step by step, seeing that Yu Heng was not unhappy because of not being able to reunite with Ji Xinxue, so he completely let go of his worries.

He took off the key hanging around his neck, opened the jade lock in the dark compartment, and took out the waxed envelope with Yu's unique seal from it.

"Three days ago, the Yu family sent this letter through Mo Changshi, who is far away in the fief."

Yu Heng rubbed the traces of wax paint with his fingertips, raised his hand and pulled out the dagger from Zizhu's waist, cut open the envelope, and handed the complete wax paint to Lin Zhao.

"Compare it with the seal of the Yu family collected by the ancestors."

The thickness of the letter paper is the same as that of a knuckle, and the handwriting, which is completely unfamiliar to Yu Heng, records a meaningful exotic legend.

The source of the ancient river is occupied by lions, and groups of cattle, foxes and antelopes all depend on the lions to survive.

Lions are the well-deserved overlords of this area. Without their permission, no animal can approach the water source, otherwise they will be severely punished.

Most animals are docile and submissive to the dominance of the lions, and there are also some who are not convinced by the lions.

For example, the former overlord of this area, the hyena.

Another example is the fox who thinks he won't lose to the lions, but is just a little unlucky.

The two sides hit it off and reached an alliance, planning to exterminate the lion and replace it.

The fox provides the hyena with the whereabouts of the lion group, so that the hyena can suddenly rush to the lion group's territory every time the lion group is hunting, and kill all the newborn lion cubs.

The majestic and mighty Lion King was enraged, and vowed to completely eliminate all hyenas.

On the first day, the united pride killed half of the hyenas.

The fox and the hyena were frightened by the lion's anger, and they hid one after another, never daring to contact them secretly again.

The next day, the hyena approached the fox.

They threaten the foxes and tell the lions if the foxes don't help them escape the lions' slaughter.It is the foxes who tell them the whereabouts of the lions, so they can accurately avoid the lions and kill the newborn lion cubs.

On the third day, the panicked fox finally had an idea.

They approached the antelope and told the antelope that the hyena knew it could not resist the brave lion king, and planned to drag all the animals in the grassland to sink together.

Before the hyena dies, it will tell the lion king that it is the foxes, antelopes and other groups that lived in this area before the lions, and tell them the whereabouts of the lions.That's why they can accurately avoid the lion group and kill the newborn lion cubs.

Antelopes are timid, resenting the rogue behavior of hyenas and fearing the wrath of lions.

They weighed it for a long time, but in the end their fear of the lions prevailed, and they began to secretly reveal the whereabouts of the lions to the hyenas to help the hyenas avoid being chased by the lions.

On the fourth day, the lions and hyenas were in a stalemate.

The lions could not find the hyenas, and the hyenas could no longer pose any threat to the lions. After the animals in the grassland fell asleep, they temporarily left the cave where they hid from the lions and enjoyed the food brought to them by the foxes and antelopes.

……

Yu Heng gradually lost his patience, silently speeding up the speed of flipping through the letter paper, looking at ten lines at a glance, and finally caught the herd of cattle that had never appeared.

The lions gradually sensed that something was wrong and began to investigate the ghost.

Under the leadership of the new Lion King, not only the hyenas have suffered unprecedented blows, but what the foxes and antelopes have done may also surface at any time.

Foxes and antelopes are facing the threat of genocide, and hyenas also cannot bear the consequences of losing foxes and antelopes, so they focus on the honest and honest cattle.

……

In the end, the innocent cows bear all the wrath of the lions.

The fox and the antelope managed to hide among the other groups without attracting the attention of the lions at all.

The hyena found a backing not weaker than the lions and fled to the nearby water source to survive.

Just by reading the beginning, Yu Heng knew what this exotic story meant.

The lion group is the royal family of the Ji family.

The Lion King is the successive emperors of the Ji family.

Hyenas are the remnants of the previous dynasty.

The fox was the first family to collude with the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Antelope is a family that was seduced by the remnants of the previous dynasty and the family that first colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty, and was deeply involved in it.

The herd of cattle, no accident, represents the Yu family.

As the lord of Yecheng City outside Yumen Pass, Yu Heng has read countless translations of foreign languages ​​into the official dialects of the Yu Dynasty.

With a perfect score of [-], he gave the story recorded on the letter paper three points.

Although it has been changed beyond recognition, commonly known as four different images, but it can still be seen that the draft is a story of a foreign land, one point.

Even if many characters and plots are cut off by unknown people, the characters that appear on the stage can still set up the overall framework of the story, one point.

The description of the bravery of the new lion king is in place, and Ashue should be satisfied, one point.

Summary: To pass the time, don't take it seriously.

There have been traitors among the lions, and there have been no innocent cattle.

The meaning of this story is just to mislead him.

Yu Heng smiled lightly, straightened the letter paper, and neatly put it into a brand new oiled paper envelope.

Save it for Ashe to watch for fun.

"Jun Wang, Qi Shiwulang has arrived." Qingzhu's voice sounded from outside the door.

It wasn't until Yu Heng put away the envelope that Zizhu opened the door for Qi Shiwulang.

The young man with a nervous expression followed Zizhu and Qingzhu to Yu Heng.

He is the bastard son of the Duke of England. According to his seniority, Yu Heng should call him uncle.

In the early years, when Yu Heng had not moved out of the British government, he had brought a lot of gifts to celebrate his birthday, and personally attended Qi Shiwulang's birthday banquet to save him face.

When getting along now, Yu Heng would only nod reservedly and call out, "Fifteen Lang."

Qi Shiwulang immediately bowed back and said as if reciting an article, "Feng, Fenglang, it has been more than half a month since I went to the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors, and there has never been a letter with a single word recorded back. The elders in the family are inevitably worried and asked me to come here Waiting at the Princess Mansion, carefully observe whether you are clear, look good, and have old injuries..."

Lin Zhao shook his head.

The British government sent such a stupid person, so that he couldn't even bring up the embarrassment.

Yu Heng interrupted Qi Shiwulang's nonsense, and said coldly, "I haven't returned home for a long time, and I should have gone to pay my respects to my grandfather and grandmother immediately. However, this king came back from the imperial mausoleum, and it coincided with the adventure of 'ancestral apparition'. If you want to take advantage of the remaining spirituality in your body, go to the ancestral hall to worship your ancestors, maybe..."

Qi Shiwulang stared blankly at Yu Heng, "Huh?"

Yu Heng got up and walked towards Qi Shiwulang, and naturally looked away, "Maybe I can win the mercy of my ancestors, and even a few words."

"Please trouble Shiwulang to plead guilty to my grandfather, grandmother and father on my behalf." He stopped beside Qi Shiwulang for a while, "When the ancestor worship is completely over, this king will immediately go to the British government to serve the elders apologize."

After speaking, Yu Heng left without waiting for Qi Shiwulang to respond again.

Lin Zhao just stood between Qi Shiwulang and Yu Heng, and interrupted Qi Shiwulang's attempt to stop Yu Heng in time.With a kind tone and an attitude that cannot be refused, personally send Qi Shiwulang away from the princess mansion.

According to Emperor Changping's instructions and Ji Xinxue's instructions, Yu Heng stayed behind closed doors at Princess An's mansion, recuperating quietly, and finally waited for Ji Xinxue before his patience ran out.

At that time, he was in the main room of Qionghua Courtyard, lying on a soft bed by the window, reading scriptures to pass the time.

It's just an ordinary script, and the windows have to be opened to keep calm.

When the thin snow rushed towards his face, Yu Heng raised his head suddenly as if he had a premonition in his heart.

Wearing a white fox cloak and moccasin boots, Ji Xinxue was straddling the window, relying on her hands to keep her balance.

Why is the window of Qionghua Court higher than his waist?

Yu Heng left Ruanta, and leaned against the window with his arms crossed.

Ji Xinxue silently said 'I'm not embarrassed', and raised her head nonchalantly in response to Yu Heng's substantive gaze, "Can you help me?"

Yu Heng looked at Ji Xinxue from top to bottom, and asked hoarsely, "What can you help?"

Ji Xinxue was stunned, the numbness in her heart made the blood flowing out hot, and quickly swept through her whole body.

He licked his lower lip, obviously wanting to be reserved, but the corners of his extremely excited mouth were disobedient.

"What do you want to help?"

"I can pay."
