I was a princess in ancient times
Chapter 165
Although Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue didn't fall asleep until five o'clock, Shengzai was young and strong and had enough sleep intermittently the day before yesterday.When he woke up again, a faint golden light had just passed through the gap in the bed curtain.
Ji Xinxue rubbed the slightly numb corners of her eyes vigorously, secretly thinking that she made a mistake and shouldn't drink the whole cup of warm water before going to bed.The eyelids are so tight, nine out of ten are edema.
He waved his hands between his waist and abdomen, and dragged his tired legs slowly climbed out of bed.
"What are you doing?" Yu Heng got up, and stuck to him like a stalking fairy in a storybook.
Ji Xinxue raised her hand to Yu Heng's chest, and said indifferently, "I want to go back to the palace."
When Yu Heng heard the words, disappointment appeared in his dark eyes immediately, and he complained in a low voice, "When the court officials and the Jinwu Guard are resting, His Majesty is too harsh on you."
Ji Xinxue remained silent.
Emperor Changping did not ask him to return to the palace today.
However, one cannot... at least not show timidity during the first unscrupulous intimate contact with a lover.
Yu Heng's disappointment came quickly and dissipated even faster.
He put his probe on Ji Xinxue's forehead affectionately, "I entered the palace with you, and yesterday the fief sent some unusual toys, which are just suitable for the little princesses in the Tranquility Palace to play with the Ninth Prince."
Ji Xinxue was relieved to see that Yu Heng didn't delve into the matter of 'Emperor Changping's harshness', and a smile finally appeared in his eyes, "A few days ago, Xiao Qi begged me to find a little red fox for her."
"I entrusted this matter to Auntie, and Auntie promised that today someone will send the fox cub to the princess mansion." He lifted the curtain of the bed and looked at Luo Zhong in the corner, muttering, "It should be before noon." Send it, let's send the fox cub to Seventh Sister first."
Yu Heng nodded, recalling the items recorded in the account book, and arranged the fox's den and food and drinking utensils in a few words.
"Does the king and His Highness want to wash?" The person guarding the door heard the movement inside and immediately asked, "The minister of Honglusi came to visit the king again and has been waiting in the flower hall for half an hour. General Lin is entertaining him .”
Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
There is no need for Ji Xinxue to deliberately hide her whereabouts.
Those who are interested will know yesterday that after Ji Xinxue left the palace, she went straight to Princess Anguo's mansion and never left at night.
However, as an elder, when the curfew was lifted the next day, Qi Boxuan immediately rushed to Princess An's mansion to block Yu Heng who claimed that he was worshiping his ancestor in the ancestral hall, and his attitude was too eager.
Could it be... that the British government is facing a crisis that is difficult for outsiders to know?
"Brother and Far North County Wang Cha pretended to be the assassins of the Jinwu Guard, how is the progress?" Ji Xinxue asked in a low voice.
Yu Heng shook his head, "Brother came to see me two days ago, but I haven't seen him."
Rejecting contact with people from the British government for 'appropriate' reasons is not only leaving the British government in the air, but also the remnants of the previous government that tried to achieve certain goals through the British government.
With great difficulty, Ji Jingyu got rid of all eyes temporarily because of her wedding date with Xiao Ning of Yourouran bloodline, and Yu Heng didn't want to drag Ji Jingyu back.
Two quarters of an hour later, Ji Xinxue saw Qi Boxuan again.
Compared with the last glimpse at the British lady's birthday banquet, Qi Baixuan, who has been recuperating for more than half a month, has finally escaped the feeling of "life is not long", and even vaguely can see the shadow of being gentle and handsome when he was young.
If he was younger than [-] years old, although he still couldn't look like a portrait, he would at least look like a man.
Tsk, the ancient version of the master of 'photographing'.
Lin Zhao got up and knelt down on one knee towards Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, "I send my greetings to Your Highness, and to the King of the County."
Ji Xinxue understood that Lin Zhao made a special salute to show Qi Baixuan.
He resisted the thought of helping Lin Zhao, and nodded reservedly, "You are very polite, old general, get up."
"Your Majesty's kindness." Lin Zhao thanked him solemnly, and after getting up, he stood by Yu Heng's side carefully, as if he was meeting with Emperor Changping in the court.
However, Qi Boxuan didn't know whether he was slow or intentional.
No matter how Lin Zhao performed, he sat there without blushing and heartbeat, looking at Lin Zhao and Ji Xinxue like a teahouse guest watching a storyteller, with nothing but indifference in his eyes.
Ji Xinxue raised half of her eyebrows, suddenly feeling regretful.
If he had known that Qi Boxuan was so ignorant, he should have asked Yu Heng to come back later, so that he could give Qi Boxuan a blow.
Even if Duke Ying and Taishi Cui are here, the rules written in the law will not change.
The courtiers of the third rank are to give big gifts to the heirs who have the title of prince or princess.
Chun Xiao, who was following behind Ji Xinxue, blinked at Lin Zhao blankly, unable to immediately understand the meaning of the other's wink.
Serve tea?
This is Princess Anguo's mansion, if he grabs the errands of Qingzhu and Zizhu, they will definitely not give him good fruit later.
Zizhu is a simple and honest person, at most he can give him some face.
When it's Qingzhu's turn, I'm afraid he will have to peel off his skin.
In Princess An's Mansion, he only needs to pay attention to His Highness... yes, always pay attention to His Highness!
Enlightenment flashed across Chunxiao's eyes, and he snapped, "Master Honglusi, why are you disrespecting His Highness?"
Qi Boxuan slowly turned his head to look at the person who called his name, the indifference in his eyes did not change at all.
Because his attitude was too calm, Chunxiao subconsciously wondered if he had misunderstood Lin Zhao's meaning, and suddenly his legs went limp.Relying on Ji Xinxue's well-informed experience to keep calm, his forehead was quickly covered with fine sweat.
The suffocating silence in the flower hall was not broken by Chun Xiao's stern reprimand, on the contrary, it became even more strange.
Just when Ji Xinxue thought that Qi Baixuan would be "head-to-head" to the end and was about to leave, Qi Baixuan finally moved away from staring at Chunxiao.
He turned his head to look at Ji Xinxue, "How does Your Highness want you to salute?"
Ji Xinxue didn't speak, her phoenix eyes became round silently.
What lingers in his heart is not anger, but disbelief.
How, how could there be such a 'pull' person?
Even when Emperor Changping came to the throne, when he was just the lucky Princess Anwu, he was as clean as the Jiang family, and he was just trying to restrain him and his brothers and sisters with 'rules', and never blatantly provoked the emperor by violating the 'rules'. Heir.
The current situation of the aristocratic family is far inferior to that of the Jiang family back then, so why is Qi Boxuan more arrogant than the Jiang family?
Yu Heng held Ji Xinxue's hand tightly, and said solemnly, "According to the law, courtiers below the third rank should salute the prince or princess when they see the prince or princess."
"Huh?" Qi Boxuan had obvious doubts in his eyes, and then turned to ask Lin Zhao, "Really?"
No matter what ideas Lin Zhao had, he would never demote Yu Heng.
He immediately nodded solemnly, his tone implying blame, "How could the king of the county lie to you."
Ji Xinxue lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought.
In just a few words, Qi Boxuan has already shown a huge difference from the image he has accumulated in his mind based on the accumulated impressions over time.
He thought he could coax the Princess of Lu to fall in love with him, and win over the young Yu Heng who was bruised and bruised by the British government, but still had hope in the British government.
He will be a person who is as ruthless as the British husband and wife, as hypocritical as the British husband and wife, and whose ability to shirk responsibility is as good as the British husband.
Ji Xinxue never imagined that the first trait he saw in Qi Boxuan was actually no less flexible than Zheng's.
That being the case... Hold him in your arms and wait for the time when he can only stretch but not bend.
Ji Xinxue was about to casually take the matter of salutation, and further test Qi Boxuan's character, when suddenly Qi Boxuan stood up and fell to his knees, and said, 'Meet Your Highness'.
The smile that had just unfolded on his face froze slightly, and he strode up to Qi Baixuan, and said politely based on his experienced experience, "Why is uncle so polite? I played with Feng Lang since we were young, how could I let you do this?" Great gift."
Qi Baixuan got up following Ji Xinxue's strength, returned to his original seat and sat down, ignoring Ji Xinxue's words of handing the steps to each other, as if he was sulking because of this, and deliberately left Ji Xinxue to dry.
Yu Heng naturally pushed Ji Xinxue away, sat between Qi Baixuan and Ji Xinxue, and asked straight to the point, "Aye came to see me specifically, but do you have something to tell?"
"No." Qi Boxuan immediately said, "I heard that you haven't gone out since you returned to Chang'an from the imperial mausoleum, so I was worried, so I came to see it."
Ji Xinxue held up the teacup, covering her mouth with a sneer.
He spoke words of concern for Yu Heng, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
Qi Boxuan even did it so perfunctorily to coax Yu Heng with a purpose.
Yu Heng nodded and asked back, "How is my grandmother? I have a hundred-year-old ginseng here that can last for a long time. I wanted to give it to the king of Xinyang County as a birthday gift. If my grandmother's condition is critical, I will give it to my grandmother first, and I will order someone to search for other ginseng. Give the tonic to King Xinyang."
Qi Boxuan nodded, "Give it to your grandmother first."
Seeing this, Ji Xinxue lowered her eyes calmly, her thoughts gradually becoming complicated
Did he think wrong?
If Qi Boxuan is a smart person, the more Yu Heng acts close to him, the less he should want Yu Heng's things at this time.
Slowly accumulate the number and value of rejections, and then you can confidently ask for more valuable things.
Ji Xinxue felt that Qi Boxuan had a strong sense of separation before and after the salute.
He had a hunch that if he understood where Qi Boxuan's sense of separation came from, he would understand why the British government did everything possible to prevent Qi Boxuan from returning to Chang'an.
Yu Heng immediately ordered Qingzhu to go to the century-old ginseng, and said to Qi Baixuan as if gossiping, "I heard that my brothers and sisters have arrived in Chang'an recently, why didn't you bring them? I haven't seen them yet, so I should reward them with some greetings. "
"No need." Qi Baixuan's brows were clearly furrowed, and his speaking speed was much faster than before, "It's just some evil things from the common people, how can they compare with you? Don't waste your time on them."
Yu Heng subconsciously thought of Qi Zhu, who had been secretly communicating with him for many years, and stood up to show his respect to Qi Baixuan, "Kid remember Aye's teachings."
Qi Baixuan looked up at the eldest son who was completely unfamiliar to him, the indifference in his eyes gradually diminished, and he asked, "Where is your mother's tablet? Take me to see it."
Ji Xinxue raised her eyelids, secretly thinking that Qi Baixuan was shameless.
Nine sons and nine daughters were born in 12 years, and she still has the face to meet Princess Lu.
"The Clan's House estimates that Auntie will encounter evil spirits at the end of the year, so yesterday they specially sent people to temporarily seal up Auntie's memorial tablet, and wait for next year to enshrine Auntie again." Yu Heng replied in a low voice.
Qi Boxuan's eyes that had just become gentle were condensed again, silently staring at the tangerines on the table, without making a sound for a long time.
Yu Heng still maintained the posture of standing upright and accepting the court training, and raised his head openly to exchange glances with Ji Xinxue, the indifference between his brows was no less than that of Qi Baixuan.
He has been disappointed with 'father' too many times and has no expectations.
Ji Xinxue silently closed her mouth, swallowed back the words she was about to smooth things over, and stared in a daze at the spot of light that slipped into the room along the crack of the window.
Qi Boxuan...what is so strange...
It seems that there are violations everywhere, and it is impossible to grasp what the violation is.
really weird.
I don't know how long it has passed, but Qi Boxuan was the first to lose his temper.
He withdrew his gaze from the tangerine, looked up at Yu Heng again, and said slowly, "You've done a good job in Northern Xinjiang."
Ji Xinxue suddenly came back to her senses, and immediately got out of the state of falling asleep with her eyes open, picked up the teacup again, and carefully remembered all Qi Baixuan's reactions in her heart.
Yu Heng said solemnly, "Aye Miao Zan, the child is ashamed."
Qi Boxuan was silent for a long time, before he said dryly, "Your Majesty also recognizes your achievements and gives you many rewards."
Yu Heng turned around and cupped his hands in the direction of the palace, and continued to perfunctory, "Your Majesty is so kind and virtuous, my child will never forget it."
Qi Boxuan was silent for a longer time.
Everyone can see that he wants to tell Yu Heng something difficult to say, but he doesn't know how to say it.
"Can the Minister of Honglu Temple have breakfast?" Ji Xinxue put down the teacup and suggested, "Why don't we have lunch earlier."
I heard that Qi Boxuan was restrained by the British Duke and his wife, so he could no longer indulge in female sex, and suddenly became keen on collecting all kinds of fine wines.
Yu Heng took advantage of the situation and said, "There is half a jar of Jiangnan fruit wine that is nearly ten years old in my baby's storeroom. Aye, please do me a favor."
"Hmm..." Visible struggles appeared in Qi Boxuan's eyes, and his slow speech speed suddenly became faster most of the time, "It's not convenient to drink during the day, you ask someone to find out the wine, and I will take it away later."
Yu Heng nodded without hesitation, "Baby, there are still 15-year-old cherry wine, 20-year-old green pear wine, and [-]-year-old wine from exotic places..."
As Yu Heng reported more and more wine names, Qi Boxuan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and in a short period of time, his face became radiant, as if he was seven or eight years younger in an instant.
"Find them out, and I'll take them all away later!" Qi Boxuan clapped his palms and smiled, the gentleness that had been maintained because of his indifferent expression instantly dissipated completely, leaving only a thick 'dirty air', more like a British princess than a British lady wooden people.
Ji Xinxue had a panoramic view of Qi Baixuan's changes, and only the word 'outrageous' remained in her mind.
Could it be that he wronged Qi Boxuan?
Ji Xinxue carefully recalled what happened not long ago, and suddenly had a completely different idea from before.
Qi Boxuan didn't follow Lin Zhao to salute him at the beginning, not because he didn't want to salute him or because he had the idea of arrogance, but simply because he had forgotten the laws of the Yu Dynasty long ago, so after hearing Yu Heng's explanation, he He asked Lin Zhao again for confirmation, and then suddenly saluted before everyone could react...
The so-called indifference is not playing hard to get, but slow response.
Apart from taking the initiative to praise Yu Heng's achievements in northern Xinjiang, Qi Boxuan followed Yu Heng's words from the beginning to the end.
Among them, only when talking about the children who had just returned to Chang'an from Jiangnan, Qi Baixuan's speech speed suddenly became faster, firmly drawing the boundary between Yu Heng and those concubine children, and strongly expressing his opposition to Yu Heng's association with those people.
Ji Xinxue reasonably suspected that when Qi Boxuan was talking about this matter, his train of thought suddenly became smooth because someone had specially ordered this matter.
Then, when he refused the wine but wanted to take it away, he spoke faster, because this was something that really attracted Qi Baixuan's interest.
Think down along this line of thought.
The British government tried every means to prevent Qi Boxuan from returning to Chang'an, is it just because he knew that Qi Boxuan was already a 'disabled person' and was afraid that he would accidentally reveal the secret?
Ji Xinxue poked her forehead with her hand, and the word 'outrageous' in her mind became bigger and bigger.
He felt that the various speculations he had made based on Qi Boxuan's performance could also be described in two terms.
'Li, spectrum! '
Yu Heng's expression also became stiff. He stared straight at the "wretched" smile on Qi Boxuan's face, stepped back calmly to stand between Ji Xinxue and Qi Boxuan, and added a lot of famous wine to Lin Zhao secretly. winked.
Lin Zhao coughed lightly, and took away all the servants in the house by the way.
He was no less shocked than Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng.
Even though he had already read the letter Qi Zhu sent to Yu Heng, in his impression, Qi Boxuan was still the Pian Pianjia son who made Princess Lu fall in love at first sight.
how come……
Because Yu Heng finally found the right way to chat, Qi Boxuan's indifference and arrogance retreated immediately, and he looked at Yu Heng not only with intimacy but also with invisible flattery, as if he was afraid that Yu Heng would suddenly change his mind and not give him good wine .
He stood up and hugged Yu Heng's shoulders, and finally expressed his intention smoothly.
"I made an agreement with your mother to live and die together, and sooner or later I will go to the imperial mausoleum to accompany her. She is now the Princess of Lu, when will I be the son-in-law?"
Ji Xinxue picked up the teacup again, her eyes were filled with sympathy for Princess Lu.
Good guy.
Not even the dead are spared.
Absolutely!
He has already begun to think, if Yu Heng can't hold back and fights against Qi Boxuan, should he change his mind, first punish the British government with small punishments, and then find a way to achieve his goal from the Cui family.
Feeling the palm of his shoulder, Yu Heng's body suddenly became stiff. After listening to Qi Boxuan's words quietly, his gaze gradually became deeper, "Your Majesty only chased after my grandmother and A Niang, and didn't mention Aye."
Qi Boxuan waved his hands nonchalantly, and said with a smile, "Aye told me, Chu...Master Taishan is already the consort of Princess Qin, please say hello to the Ministry of Rites and let them not forget me."
"Are you so impatient?" Yu Heng sneered.
Qi Boxuan sensed something was wrong, and when he suddenly looked up at Yu Heng, Yu Heng had already recovered his composure, and he said in a low voice, "Grandfather has passed away for many years, and there are no clan members alive, that's why the Clan Mansion and the Ministry of Rites are so happy. I'm sorry for Aye To be named a consort, you must first obtain the consent of the clan's mansion, then discuss with the Ministry of Rites, and then obtain the consent of His Majesty, and let the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tian supervise the calculation of a suitable date..."
Qi Boxuan got a headache when he heard it, and impatiently interrupted Yu Heng's unfinished sentence, "You remember your mother's last wish, and just take this matter to heart. I'll go back to see your grandmother, and go back as often as you have time." Move around, and don't forget who you're in the family with."
He couldn't wait to go back home and drink the fine wine that Yu Heng gave him, and he didn't care whether the British bus could complete the work on his behalf.
Yu Heng lowered his eyes, and personally sent Qi Boxuan away.
Ji Xinxue sat in her original position without moving, raising her hand to cover up the pain on her face.
If he had known that using a few jars of good wine could make Qi Boxuan let go of his strangeness with Yu Heng and reveal his true nature, he would definitely have prevented Yu Heng from delivering wine to Qi Boxuan.
How could there be such outrageous people in the world?
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the person who had gone and returned, and Ji Xinxue rushed over immediately, hugged the wronged Yu Heng tightly, and said bitterly, "The British government has been proud of the Yanguang Dynasty for so long, so you can easily catch it." There are countless reasons. Let's vent our anger first, and then find a breakthrough from Cui."
He really couldn't bear to see Yu Heng wasting time on Qi Boxuan again.
Yu Heng hugged the person in his arms tightly, and all the boredom in his heart faded away like running water.
Qi Boxuan is such a person, whether it is for him or for A Xue, it is a good thing.
He can find out through Qi Boxuan as soon as possible whether there is an inside story about the death of his grandmother and mother, and Ah Xue can also use Qi Boxuan to find a breakthrough earlier to lure the British government.
After lunch, Yu Heng was able to accept well that his biological father made a lot of embarrassment in front of Ji Xinxue without warning.
Having known each other for many years, Asue has seen all his embarrassment and embarrassment, he is confident that Asue will not change his attitude towards Qi Baixuan just because of what happened to Qi Baixuan.
As for the others...he didn't care.
On the contrary, Ji Xinxue was deeply concerned about this matter, secretly observed Yu Heng's expression from time to time, and even gave up the idea of going back to the palace in a soft heart, and was willing to risk her life to accompany the gentleman, and then accompany Yu Heng in the princess mansion for a few days.
In desperation, Yu Heng could only show Ji Xinxue the letters that Qi Zhu had sent him over the years, which proved that he had long been psychologically prepared for Qi Boxuan's character.
It's still going to be disappointing, but it's far from a collapse.
Ji Xinxue carefully checked the neatly packed letters, the distress in her eyes became more profound, and she whispered, "You never told me about this."
An invisible guilt flashed across Yu Heng's brows.
Before Qi Zhu left Chang'an, he liked Ji Xinxue very much.
Even if Ji Xinxue couldn't like Qi Zhu, he didn't want Ji Xinxue to know any news about Qi Zhu.
Besides...he knew that Ji Xinxue would notice him at first because of the torture brought to him by the British government.
Now that his wings have grown, this torture has been transferred to Qi Zhu.
With Ah Xue's nostalgic personality, even if she can't respond to Qi Zhu's obsession, she will still love her because of her former classmate friendship.
He didn't allow anyone to use the same method as him to attract A Xue's attention.
"All I need is you." Yu Heng hugged Ji Xinxue from behind, just enough to completely envelop the person half a head shorter than him in his arms.
Ji Xinxue nodded heavily, and counted with Yu Heng with her fingers, "My grandmother is your grandmother. The jade pendant given to you by my grandmother and the little grandmother a few days ago is the favorite of Queen Jianxing. Even the elder brother and elder sister want it." You can only get such a reward when you get married."
"I, Aye, is your Aye. Aye said in the early years that when I recover my status, he will recognize you as his adopted son, but whatever my brother and I have, you will not lose your share. "
"My brothers and sisters are also your brothers and sisters. Needless to say, the eldest brother treats you closer than me. The sisters also regard you as their own younger brother. Don't look at Ji Mingtong and Ji Baoshan's lack of heart. Close and distant."
……
Finally, Ji Xinxue came to a conclusion.
"As long as I am alone, you can have a big family, and you can make a steady profit without losing money. You are worthy of being the God of Wealth."
The scorching breath gradually approached, no longer separated from each other.
The sudden noisy sound made the little mandarin duck look up in surprise.
Who is so courageous, dare to mess around in Princess An's mansion?
The moment Yu Heng grasped the sword on the wall, noisy voices had already reached the door.
Mo Yao's voice clearly reached the ears of the two of them.
"Your Highness Fifth, Prince Xianglin, His Majesty summons you to enter the palace immediately."
Ji Xinxue grabbed Yu Heng's sleeve and stretched it out vigilantly.
Mo Yao has always lacked emotions and thoughts, and will never do unnecessary things.He is fully capable of overwhelming everyone with just his eyes and aura, and he came to inform him and Yu Heng directly, but he made such a big commotion.
Could it be that he and Yu Heng made a big mistake unintentionally, which made Aye furious?
Or did Aye let him out of the palace yesterday and regretted it, and learned through some means that he and Yu Heng have been together from yesterday to today... cough cough?
No matter what, neither Ji Xinxue nor Yu Heng dared to play tricks under Mo Yao's nose.
They carefully straightened the folds of their robes and walked out of the room obediently.
Ji Xinxue rubbed the slightly numb corners of her eyes vigorously, secretly thinking that she made a mistake and shouldn't drink the whole cup of warm water before going to bed.The eyelids are so tight, nine out of ten are edema.
He waved his hands between his waist and abdomen, and dragged his tired legs slowly climbed out of bed.
"What are you doing?" Yu Heng got up, and stuck to him like a stalking fairy in a storybook.
Ji Xinxue raised her hand to Yu Heng's chest, and said indifferently, "I want to go back to the palace."
When Yu Heng heard the words, disappointment appeared in his dark eyes immediately, and he complained in a low voice, "When the court officials and the Jinwu Guard are resting, His Majesty is too harsh on you."
Ji Xinxue remained silent.
Emperor Changping did not ask him to return to the palace today.
However, one cannot... at least not show timidity during the first unscrupulous intimate contact with a lover.
Yu Heng's disappointment came quickly and dissipated even faster.
He put his probe on Ji Xinxue's forehead affectionately, "I entered the palace with you, and yesterday the fief sent some unusual toys, which are just suitable for the little princesses in the Tranquility Palace to play with the Ninth Prince."
Ji Xinxue was relieved to see that Yu Heng didn't delve into the matter of 'Emperor Changping's harshness', and a smile finally appeared in his eyes, "A few days ago, Xiao Qi begged me to find a little red fox for her."
"I entrusted this matter to Auntie, and Auntie promised that today someone will send the fox cub to the princess mansion." He lifted the curtain of the bed and looked at Luo Zhong in the corner, muttering, "It should be before noon." Send it, let's send the fox cub to Seventh Sister first."
Yu Heng nodded, recalling the items recorded in the account book, and arranged the fox's den and food and drinking utensils in a few words.
"Does the king and His Highness want to wash?" The person guarding the door heard the movement inside and immediately asked, "The minister of Honglusi came to visit the king again and has been waiting in the flower hall for half an hour. General Lin is entertaining him .”
Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
There is no need for Ji Xinxue to deliberately hide her whereabouts.

He will be a person who is as ruthless as the British husband and wife, as hypocritical as the British husband and wife, and whose ability to shirk responsibility is as good as the British husband.
Ji Xinxue never imagined that the first trait he saw in Qi Boxuan was actually no less flexible than Zheng's.
That being the case... Hold him in your arms and wait for the time when he can only stretch but not bend.
Ji Xinxue was about to casually take the matter of salutation, and further test Qi Boxuan's character, when suddenly Qi Boxuan stood up and fell to his knees, and said, 'Meet Your Highness'.
The smile that had just unfolded on his face froze slightly, and he strode up to Qi Baixuan, and said politely based on his experienced experience, "Why is uncle so polite? I played with Feng Lang since we were young, how could I let you do this?" Great gift."
Qi Baixuan got up following Ji Xinxue's strength, returned to his original seat and sat down, ignoring Ji Xinxue's words of handing the steps to each other, as if he was sulking because of this, and deliberately left Ji Xinxue to dry.
Yu Heng naturally pushed Ji Xinxue away, sat between Qi Baixuan and Ji Xinxue, and asked straight to the point, "Aye came to see me specifically, but do you have something to tell?"
"No." Qi Boxuan immediately said, "I heard that you haven't gone out since you returned to Chang'an from the imperial mausoleum, so I was worried, so I came to see it."
Ji Xinxue held up the teacup, covering her mouth with a sneer.
He spoke words of concern for Yu Heng, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
Qi Boxuan even did it so perfunctorily to coax Yu Heng with a purpose.
Yu Heng nodded and asked back, "How is my grandmother? I have a hundred-year-old ginseng here that can last for a long time. I wanted to give it to the king of Xinyang County as a birthday gift. If my grandmother's condition is critical, I will give it to my grandmother first, and I will order someone to search for other ginseng. Give the tonic to King Xinyang."
Qi Boxuan nodded, "Give it to your grandmother first."
Seeing this, Ji Xinxue lowered her eyes calmly, her thoughts gradually becoming complicated
Did he think wrong?
If Qi Boxuan is a smart person, the more Yu Heng acts close to him, the less he should want Yu Heng's things at this time.
Slowly accumulate the number and value of rejections, and then you can confidently ask for more valuable things.
Ji Xinxue felt that Qi Boxuan had a strong sense of separation before and after the salute.
He had a hunch that if he understood where Qi Boxuan's sense of separation came from, he would understand why the British government did everything possible to prevent Qi Boxuan from returning to Chang'an.
Yu Heng immediately ordered Qingzhu to go to the century-old ginseng, and said to Qi Baixuan as if gossiping, "I heard that my brothers and sisters have arrived in Chang'an recently, why didn't you bring them? I haven't seen them yet, so I should reward them with some greetings. "
"No need." Qi Baixuan's brows were clearly furrowed, and his speaking speed was much faster than before, "It's just some evil things from the common people, how can they compare with you? Don't waste your time on them."
Yu Heng subconsciously thought of Qi Zhu, who had been secretly communicating with him for many years, and stood up to show his respect to Qi Baixuan, "Kid remember Aye's teachings."
Qi Baixuan looked up at the eldest son who was completely unfamiliar to him, the indifference in his eyes gradually diminished, and he asked, "Where is your mother's tablet? Take me to see it."
Ji Xinxue raised her eyelids, secretly thinking that Qi Baixuan was shameless.
Nine sons and nine daughters were born in 12 years, and she still has the face to meet Princess Lu.
"The Clan's House estimates that Auntie will encounter evil spirits at the end of the year, so yesterday they specially sent people to temporarily seal up Auntie's memorial tablet, and wait for next year to enshrine Auntie again." Yu Heng replied in a low voice.
Qi Boxuan's eyes that had just become gentle were condensed again, silently staring at the tangerines on the table, without making a sound for a long time.
Yu Heng still maintained the posture of standing upright and accepting the court training, and raised his head openly to exchange glances with Ji Xinxue, the indifference between his brows was no less than that of Qi Baixuan.
He has been disappointed with 'father' too many times and has no expectations.
Ji Xinxue silently closed her mouth, swallowed back the words she was about to smooth things over, and stared in a daze at the spot of light that slipped into the room along the crack of the window.
Qi Boxuan...what is so strange...
It seems that there are violations everywhere, and it is impossible to grasp what the violation is.
really weird.
I don't know how long it has passed, but Qi Boxuan was the first to lose his temper.
He withdrew his gaze from the tangerine, looked up at Yu Heng again, and said slowly, "You've done a good job in Northern Xinjiang."
Ji Xinxue suddenly came back to her senses, and immediately got out of the state of falling asleep with her eyes open, picked up the teacup again, and carefully remembered all Qi Baixuan's reactions in her heart.
Yu Heng said solemnly, "Aye Miao Zan, the child is ashamed."
Qi Boxuan was silent for a long time, before he said dryly, "Your Majesty also recognizes your achievements and gives you many rewards."
Yu Heng turned around and cupped his hands in the direction of the palace, and continued to perfunctory, "Your Majesty is so kind and virtuous, my child will never forget it."
Qi Boxuan was silent for a longer time.
Everyone can see that he wants to tell Yu Heng something difficult to say, but he doesn't know how to say it.
"Can the Minister of Honglu Temple have breakfast?" Ji Xinxue put down the teacup and suggested, "Why don't we have lunch earlier."
I heard that Qi Boxuan was restrained by the British Duke and his wife, so he could no longer indulge in female sex, and suddenly became keen on collecting all kinds of fine wines.
Yu Heng took advantage of the situation and said, "There is half a jar of Jiangnan fruit wine that is nearly ten years old in my baby's storeroom. Aye, please do me a favor."
"Hmm..." Visible struggles appeared in Qi Boxuan's eyes, and his slow speech speed suddenly became faster most of the time, "It's not convenient to drink during the day, you ask someone to find out the wine, and I will take it away later."
Yu Heng nodded without hesitation, "Baby, there are still 15-year-old cherry wine, 20-year-old green pear wine, and [-]-year-old wine from exotic places..."
As Yu Heng reported more and more wine names, Qi Boxuan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and in a short period of time, his face became radiant, as if he was seven or eight years younger in an instant.
"Find them out, and I'll take them all away later!" Qi Boxuan clapped his palms and smiled, the gentleness that had been maintained because of his indifferent expression instantly dissipated completely, leaving only a thick 'dirty air', more like a British princess than a British lady wooden people.
Ji Xinxue had a panoramic view of Qi Baixuan's changes, and only the word 'outrageous' remained in her mind.
Could it be that he wronged Qi Boxuan?
Ji Xinxue carefully recalled what happened not long ago, and suddenly had a completely different idea from before.
Qi Boxuan didn't follow Lin Zhao to salute him at the beginning, not because he didn't want to salute him or because he had the idea of arrogance, but simply because he had forgotten the laws of the Yu Dynasty long ago, so after hearing Yu Heng's explanation, he He asked Lin Zhao again for confirmation, and then suddenly saluted before everyone could react...
The so-called indifference is not playing hard to get, but slow response.
Apart from taking the initiative to praise Yu Heng's achievements in northern Xinjiang, Qi Boxuan followed Yu Heng's words from the beginning to the end.
Among them, only when talking about the children who had just returned to Chang'an from Jiangnan, Qi Baixuan's speech speed suddenly became faster, firmly drawing the boundary between Yu Heng and those concubine children, and strongly expressing his opposition to Yu Heng's association with those people.
Ji Xinxue reasonably suspected that when Qi Boxuan was talking about this matter, his train of thought suddenly became smooth because someone had specially ordered this matter.
Then, when he refused the wine but wanted to take it away, he spoke faster, because this was something that really attracted Qi Baixuan's interest.
Think down along this line of thought.
The British government tried every means to prevent Qi Boxuan from returning to Chang'an, is it just because he knew that Qi Boxuan was already a 'disabled person' and was afraid that he would accidentally reveal the secret?
Ji Xinxue poked her forehead with her hand, and the word 'outrageous' in her mind became bigger and bigger.
He felt that the various speculations he had made based on Qi Boxuan's performance could also be described in two terms.
'Li, spectrum! '
Yu Heng's expression also became stiff. He stared straight at the "wretched" smile on Qi Boxuan's face, stepped back calmly to stand between Ji Xinxue and Qi Boxuan, and added a lot of famous wine to Lin Zhao secretly. winked.
Lin Zhao coughed lightly, and took away all the servants in the house by the way.
He was no less shocked than Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng.
Even though he had already read the letter Qi Zhu sent to Yu Heng, in his impression, Qi Boxuan was still the Pian Pianjia son who made Princess Lu fall in love at first sight.
how come……
Because Yu Heng finally found the right way to chat, Qi Boxuan's indifference and arrogance retreated immediately, and he looked at Yu Heng not only with intimacy but also with invisible flattery, as if he was afraid that Yu Heng would suddenly change his mind and not give him good wine .
He stood up and hugged Yu Heng's shoulders, and finally expressed his intention smoothly.
"I made an agreement with your mother to live and die together, and sooner or later I will go to the imperial mausoleum to accompany her. She is now the Princess of Lu, when will I be the son-in-law?"
Ji Xinxue picked up the teacup again, her eyes were filled with sympathy for Princess Lu.
Good guy.
Not even the dead are spared.
Absolutely!
He has already begun to think, if Yu Heng can't hold back and fights against Qi Boxuan, should he change his mind, first punish the British government with small punishments, and then find a way to achieve his goal from the Cui family.
Feeling the palm of his shoulder, Yu Heng's body suddenly became stiff. After listening to Qi Boxuan's words quietly, his gaze gradually became deeper, "Your Majesty only chased after my grandmother and A Niang, and didn't mention Aye."
Qi Boxuan waved his hands nonchalantly, and said with a smile, "Aye told me, Chu...Master Taishan is already the consort of Princess Qin, please say hello to the Ministry of Rites and let them not forget me."
"Are you so impatient?" Yu Heng sneered.
Qi Boxuan sensed something was wrong, and when he suddenly looked up at Yu Heng, Yu Heng had already recovered his composure, and he said in a low voice, "Grandfather has passed away for many years, and there are no clan members alive, that's why the Clan Mansion and the Ministry of Rites are so happy. I'm sorry for Aye To be named a consort, you must first obtain the consent of the clan's mansion, then discuss with the Ministry of Rites, and then obtain the consent of His Majesty, and let the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tian supervise the calculation of a suitable date..."
Qi Boxuan got a headache when he heard it, and impatiently interrupted Yu Heng's unfinished sentence, "You remember your mother's last wish, and just take this matter to heart. I'll go back to see your grandmother, and go back as often as you have time." Move around, and don't forget who you're in the family with."
He couldn't wait to go back home and drink the fine wine that Yu Heng gave him, and he didn't care whether the British bus could complete the work on his behalf.
Yu Heng lowered his eyes, and personally sent Qi Boxuan away.
Ji Xinxue sat in her original position without moving, raising her hand to cover up the pain on her face.
If he had known that using a few jars of good wine could make Qi Boxuan let go of his strangeness with Yu Heng and reveal his true nature, he would definitely have prevented Yu Heng from delivering wine to Qi Boxuan.
How could there be such outrageous people in the world?
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the person who had gone and returned, and Ji Xinxue rushed over immediately, hugged the wronged Yu Heng tightly, and said bitterly, "The British government has been proud of the Yanguang Dynasty for so long, so you can easily catch it." There are countless reasons. Let's vent our anger first, and then find a breakthrough from Cui."
He really couldn't bear to see Yu Heng wasting time on Qi Boxuan again.
Yu Heng hugged the person in his arms tightly, and all the boredom in his heart faded away like running water.
Qi Boxuan is such a person, whether it is for him or for A Xue, it is a good thing.
He can find out through Qi Boxuan as soon as possible whether there is an inside story about the death of his grandmother and mother, and Ah Xue can also use Qi Boxuan to find a breakthrough earlier to lure the British government.
After lunch, Yu Heng was able to accept well that his biological father made a lot of embarrassment in front of Ji Xinxue without warning.
Having known each other for many years, Asue has seen all his embarrassment and embarrassment, he is confident that Asue will not change his attitude towards Qi Baixuan just because of what happened to Qi Baixuan.
As for the others...he didn't care.
On the contrary, Ji Xinxue was deeply concerned about this matter, secretly observed Yu Heng's expression from time to time, and even gave up the idea of going back to the palace in a soft heart, and was willing to risk her life to accompany the gentleman, and then accompany Yu Heng in the princess mansion for a few days.
In desperation, Yu Heng could only show Ji Xinxue the letters that Qi Zhu had sent him over the years, which proved that he had long been psychologically prepared for Qi Boxuan's character.
It's still going to be disappointing, but it's far from a collapse.
Ji Xinxue carefully checked the neatly packed letters, the distress in her eyes became more profound, and she whispered, "You never told me about this."
An invisible guilt flashed across Yu Heng's brows.
Before Qi Zhu left Chang'an, he liked Ji Xinxue very much.
Even if Ji Xinxue couldn't like Qi Zhu, he didn't want Ji Xinxue to know any news about Qi Zhu.
Besides...he knew that Ji Xinxue would notice him at first because of the torture brought to him by the British government.
Now that his wings have grown, this torture has been transferred to Qi Zhu.
With Ah Xue's nostalgic personality, even if she can't respond to Qi Zhu's obsession, she will still love her because of her former classmate friendship.
He didn't allow anyone to use the same method as him to attract A Xue's attention.
"All I need is you." Yu Heng hugged Ji Xinxue from behind, just enough to completely envelop the person half a head shorter than him in his arms.
Ji Xinxue nodded heavily, and counted with Yu Heng with her fingers, "My grandmother is your grandmother. The jade pendant given to you by my grandmother and the little grandmother a few days ago is the favorite of Queen Jianxing. Even the elder brother and elder sister want it." You can only get such a reward when you get married."
"I, Aye, is your Aye. Aye said in the early years that when I recover my status, he will recognize you as his adopted son, but whatever my brother and I have, you will not lose your share. "
"My brothers and sisters are also your brothers and sisters. Needless to say, the eldest brother treats you closer than me. The sisters also regard you as their own younger brother. Don't look at Ji Mingtong and Ji Baoshan's lack of heart. Close and distant."
……
Finally, Ji Xinxue came to a conclusion.
"As long as I am alone, you can have a big family, and you can make a steady profit without losing money. You are worthy of being the God of Wealth."
The scorching breath gradually approached, no longer separated from each other.
The sudden noisy sound made the little mandarin duck look up in surprise.
Who is so courageous, dare to mess around in Princess An's mansion?
The moment Yu Heng grasped the sword on the wall, noisy voices had already reached the door.
Mo Yao's voice clearly reached the ears of the two of them.
"Your Highness Fifth, Prince Xianglin, His Majesty summons you to enter the palace immediately."
Ji Xinxue grabbed Yu Heng's sleeve and stretched it out vigilantly.
Mo Yao has always lacked emotions and thoughts, and will never do unnecessary things.He is fully capable of overwhelming everyone with just his eyes and aura, and he came to inform him and Yu Heng directly, but he made such a big commotion.
Could it be that he and Yu Heng made a big mistake unintentionally, which made Aye furious?
Or did Aye let him out of the palace yesterday and regretted it, and learned through some means that he and Yu Heng have been together from yesterday to today... cough cough?
No matter what, neither Ji Xinxue nor Yu Heng dared to play tricks under Mo Yao's nose.
They carefully straightened the folds of their robes and walked out of the room obediently.
