I was a princess in ancient times

"Do you know your mistake?" Emperor Changping asked in a deep voice.

Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong looked at each other subconsciously, and the blankness in their eyes gradually faded away.

From the day they fell in love, they knew that sooner or later they would have to face the questioning of their elders.In the dead of night, I don't know how many times I woke up from my dream.

However, what they feared most inevitably hit their faces head-on, and Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong felt nothing but relaxation deep in their hearts.

Finally... there is no need to continue to hide because I don't know where to start.

Ji Xinxue used Yu Heng as a cover, and carefully kneaded her knee that had not fully recovered. The apology and regret in her heart became more and more intense.

If his reaction was quicker, why did he make his knee suffer this crime?

Hope Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng...huh?

Ji Xinxue was surprised that she had never heard Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong's answer, so she suddenly raised her head and looked down at the two of them.

Even though the distance was at least twenty steps away, he could still feel Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong's complex emotions that were incompatible with the cold and solemn atmosphere in the hall when they looked at each other.

Seeming pity, passionate liking, unreserved trust... every emotion is the culprit that caused the air pressure around Emperor Changping to become thinner and thinner.

"Sister!" Ji Xinxue bit the bullet and interrupted the affectionate gaze of the desperate mandarin ducks, and reminded at the risk of 'falling into the water' again, "Quickly admit your mistake to Aye!"

Even if you don't admit your mistake, you can no longer die in front of Emperor Changping!

Ji Mingtong suddenly returned to his senses, corrected his posture, bowed solemnly to Emperor Changping, looked at Emperor Changping with sincerity, and said honestly, "Aye, I was wrong, don't be angry, okay?"

The attitude is as natural as if she just brought back a stack of assessment report cards full of 'Ding etc' from the school.

Ji Cheng followed suit, and said with a low eyebrow, "Your Majesty, please appease your anger."

Ji Xinxue never expected that Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng would admit their mistakes so easily, and immediately felt even more distressed about the tormented knee.

He was stunned briefly, and looked at Emperor Changping cautiously.

As the saying goes, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Aye's expectation for sister is only peace and joy, so it shouldn't be too...strict?

Emperor Changping seemed to have a sense, and suddenly turned his head to look at Ji Xinxue, but unfortunately Yu Heng blocked him, and he only saw a small half of his serious side face.

Ji Xinxue's guess was right but only half right.

Although Emperor Changping's expectation for Ji Mingtong is only peace and joy, there are other principles of equal treatment when Emperor Changping treats his children.

Only those who can clean up the mess alone are qualified to cause trouble.

Ji Xinxue always let Emperor Changping let him and Yu Heng go lightly, treating him as Emperor Changping's soft heart.

In fact, Emperor Changping deliberately made things difficult for Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng because he couldn't choose a prince, and when he saw them figure out a way and work hard for it, he really softened his heart.

Their deeds convinced Emperor Changping that even if they were separated from his protection, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng would still be able to stick to deviant ideas, so that they would not be covered in bruises.

However, Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng, who are also deviant, cannot do this.

Although Ji Mingtong has been in trouble since he was a child, even if he didn't make troubles every day, he would make troubles at least three times every ten days, but these troubles are small things that can be solved with gold, silver and authority, and will not have any impact on Ji Mingtong.

When Ji Mingtong was still young, Emperor Changping, who was King Jia, ordered his confidants to handle these matters personally, trying to eliminate all hidden dangers that would tarnish Ji Mingtong's reputation.

When Ji Mingtong grew up, King Jia also became Emperor Changping.

The power represented by Princess Jinming is enough for those who have suffered to choose to tolerate it.

Even if Ji Mingtong did not give gold and silver compensation, these people would look at the face of Emperor Changping, the face of Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su, the face of Princess Huai'an, the face of King Ling, the face of Princess Baoding, and the face of Princess Anwu. Forgive Ji Mingtong for the sake of the face, the face of Xianglin County King, and the face of Qinghe County King's Mansion.

Besides, although Ji Mingtong is arrogant and willful, there is no such thing as domineering.

Since she was a child, she saw that Song Nian and Jing Zhe who were beside Emperor Changping would clean up the mess for her everywhere, and pay out large sums of gold and silver.Whenever I get into trouble and cause losses to others, I will immediately and consciously open the warehouse to lose money.

Anyway, with the subsidies from Empress Dowager Su, Concubine Su, Emperor Changping, brothers and sisters, even if she loses a lot of money every day, there is no risk of running out of money to spend.

In Emperor Changping's mind, no matter how Ji Mingtong tried to get into trouble, he was just being mischievous, far from making a mistake.

This time is different.

Ji Mingtong couldn't bear the consequences of having an affair with his brother-in-law of the same clan.

This is a more serious mistake than Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng's unannounced request to complete the wedding in accordance with the engagement contract.

Because Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng had merits in the past, the courtiers could subconsciously tolerate them.They were also capable, so that the courtiers had to forget about it.

Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng have nothing.

How dare they...

Emperor Changping stared fixedly at his nephews kneeling side by side, indifferently as if looking at two complete strangers, and asked, "How to change?"

Ji Xinxue thought it was bad.

I don't know what went wrong, but Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong's active admission of mistakes not only did not soften Emperor Changping's attitude, but showed signs of even more anger.

Ji Mingtong was stunned, tears bigger than Dong Zhu's eyes came out of his eyes without warning, and the crying sound went from nothing to almost knocking down the roof, and it only took two breaths.

Distress appeared in Ji Xinxue's eyes, and she subconsciously took two steps forward.Thanks to Yu Heng who immediately grabbed his wrist and prevented him from throwing himself into the river after finally getting ashore.

The panic in Ji Cheng's eyes was more real than when he found something was wrong after entering the door.

He couldn't care about other people anymore, and quickly stretched out his hand to Ji Mingtong, "Don't cry, we..."

Emperor Changping, who loved Ji Mingtong the most in the past, looked indifferently at the jewel in his palm whose face was rapidly flushing, the indifference in his eyes was as deep and cold as the snow in the twelfth lunar month, and there was no sign of melting in the slightest.

He has already spoiled his eldest daughter, and he must not let the jewel in his palm, who is far inferior to his eldest daughter in scheming and methods, become a ignorant person.

Before Ji Cheng could say words of comfort, Ji Mingtong had already pushed him away.

She completely ignored the tears hanging on her chin, and got up from the ground with both hands and feet, but suddenly fell down due to her weak knees after kneeling for a long time, making a heavy sound.

Ji Xinxue, who had regained her composure, clearly felt the numbness spreading down her scalp.

Although he didn't know what to do to make Emperor Changping forgive Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng, but he knew that Ji Mingtong's suffering would be returned to Ji Cheng several times.

Even if Emperor Changping forgot about this incident, the people in Qinghe County Prince's Mansion would not forget it either.

Seeing Ji Cheng go to help Ji Mingtong again, Ji Xinxue quickly broke free from Yu Heng's hand, and walked quickly towards Ji Mingtong at a pace that still seemed bumpy.

Aunt!

Can't make trouble, really can't make trouble!

Yu Heng bit the bullet and stood in front of Emperor Changping, unable to find anything to say in the icy cold gaze, "I went to Qinghe County Prince's Mansion to ask Uncle to persuade Duke Ping."

No matter whether he speaks or not, this kind of thing will not be hidden from Prince Qinghe County.

Emperor Changping didn't respond.

He carefully looked at Yu Heng's facial features and identified which ones were the characteristics of the Ji family's royal family.

Phoenix eyes, sword eyebrows, thin lips, oval face...these are the most common and favorite looks of the Ji family.

No wonder the young girls of the clan expressed surprise at Yu Heng's appearance after scolding Qi Boxuan, and even rumored that Yu Heng and Qi Boxuan were not related by blood.

Even though he tried his best to ignore it, Emperor Changping was disturbed by the constant crying and howling that came into his ears, and he had no intention of caring about Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng's little thoughts.

Rather than saying that Yu Heng deliberately attracted Emperor Changping's attention, it is better to say that Emperor Changping didn't want to face the miserable and howling jewel in his palm, so he took advantage of the situation and used Yu Heng to pass the time.

Yu Heng silently endured the tremendous pressure coming to his face.

The voice behind him gradually moved away from him, but every move of Emperor Changping became clearer and clearer. Yu Heng could even feel the regular rise and fall of Emperor Changping's chest.

"Your Majesty!" Yu Heng felt that he couldn't go on like this. He had to say something to divert his attention, otherwise he might be overwhelmed by unprecedented pressure at any time. Azu, wait..."

A huge thrust came from behind without warning.

Yu Heng staggered half a step forward, changed direction with the remaining strength, and fell heavily on the ground.

The price of avoiding Emperor Changping was the excruciating pain in his ankle.

Ji Mingtong suddenly exploded with great force, breaking through the obstructions of Ji Cheng and Ji Xinxue successively, whether he saw Yu Heng who was pushed away by her or not, he immediately threw himself on Emperor Changping.

The tears accumulated for a long time immediately soaked Changping Emperor's robe.

"Aye, I was wrong, I don't want Ji Cheng, you don't want me!"

Emperor Changping paused in the air with his useless hands that were going to support Yu Heng, and subconsciously looked around.

Yu Heng who fell on the ground sat up and looked at him with concern.

Ji Xinxue was only one step away from him, and Ji Cheng, whose robe was full of wrinkles and dust, was two steps away from him, and his eyes couldn't hide his worry.

Ji Mingtong did not get an immediate response from Emperor Changping as usual, and suddenly cried even more sadly. His voice, which was usually able to cry for several hours, was completely hoarse in a short period of time.

"Aye! Talk to me!"

"I don't want Ji Cheng, you don't want me!"

"You said that no matter what mistakes I make, you will forgive me, and you can't speak without counting."

……

After all, Emperor Changping's hand still fell on Ji Mingtong's trembling back, "I never said that."

He never promises what he can't do. He will only tell Ji Mingtong that it is not a mistake to do all the homework, destroying the ancient inkstones collected by the master because of curiosity is not a mistake, and it is not a mistake to burn the grove in the school when he wants to barbecue. Made a mistake... never said that having an affair with a brother-in-law of the same clan is not a mistake.

"You said it! You must have said it!" Ji Mingtong's scream almost shattered the glazed tiles on the roof.

If she had a different kind of affection for Ji Cheng, she knew that the price of liking Ji Cheng was being watched by Aye as a stranger, losing Aye, losing her grandmother and little grandma, losing Axue and her brothers and sisters, she It will definitely crush the buds of feelings immediately.

Emperor Changping raised his eyelids to look at Ji Cheng, whose eyes were full of emptiness, and didn't give Ji Mingtong any chance to play tricks, "I, didn't, said, did it."

It has to be said that Ji Mingtong really has a unique talent in seeing people's faces.

She was sensitive to the softening of Emperor Changping's attitude. Although she was still stubborn, she didn't cry with all her strength, and her intermittent sobs made her more pitiful, "You, shameless! Words don't... count!"

Ji Xinxue also followed the gaze of Emperor Changping to look at Ji Cheng, her eyes were full of sympathy.

Although the process of how things developed was completely different from what he expected, the result was very reasonable.

The cutest thing about Ji Mingtong is that when choosing a backstab target, he never fails to disappoint.

Although Emperor Changping broke the ice because of Ji Mingtong's rebellious attitude, he would not change his view of Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng's nonsense because of this. He looked at Ji Cheng with undisguised blame.

Ji Cheng smiled wryly, knelt down in front of Emperor Changping obediently, and said in a hoarse voice, "Your servant understands... the princess."

He admitted his mistake clearly.

He clearly said that he was not wanted, but Aye was wanted, but he did not dare to compare with Emperor Changping.

Seeing that the terrifying aura around Emperor Changping had finally subsided, Songnian immediately held up a throat-moistening pill to Emperor Changping, "Princess, take a throat-moistening pill, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be speechless for a few days."

Ji Mingtong shook his head frantically, turned his head in a strange way, and continued to bury himself on Emperor Changping's shoulder, crying softly.

Seeing this, Songnian raised the pill in his hand again, almost smashing it into Emperor Changping's mouth.

It was rare for Emperor Changping to see Song Nian so irritable, and felt that the increasingly hoarse crying in his ears was really disturbing, so he finally took the pill, "Ji Mingtong, take the medicine."

Ji Xinxue temporarily let go of her worries about Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng, and suddenly felt that there was someone missing by her side.

Seeing Yu Heng sitting on the ground with a blank face, Ji Xinxue immediately put the melancholy caused by Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng behind her mind, squatted beside Yu Heng and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you, does it hurt somewhere? ?”

Yu Heng shook his head, and took Ji Xinxue's hand to touch his ankle wrapped in buckskin boots.

The hands were so tight that there was no room for any wrinkles.

Ji Xinxue's eyes widened silently, "You...uh."

Yu Heng's palm covered Ji Xinxue's mouth in time, and then moved away immediately, pulling Ji Xinxue's palm to write

It's just a sprain, and if it's dealt with later, at most it will be sitting in a wheelchair for a few more days.

If Prince Qinghe knew about this and wanted to hit someone, he could use his injury to help Ji Cheng stop him.

Otherwise... it was rare for Yu Heng to show a sad face.

Through the confrontation just now, he has already experienced Emperor Changping's tolerance for him and Ji Xinxue.If the Crown Prince of Qinghe County is also extra tolerant to him and Ashe, Ji Cheng may be even more miserable than he originally expected.

Although Ji Mingtong easily said that he didn't want Ji Cheng, and Ji Cheng also expressed his willingness to listen to Ji Mingtong's words, but Emperor Changping didn't feel at ease. '

After the little cotton-padded jacket turned his back on the battlefield, after all, he dissipated towards the joy of his old father, Emperor Changping decided to strike while the iron was hot to avoid future troubles.

He signaled Songnian to help Jicheng get up with his eyes, and said calmly, "In half a month, you will be 20 years old, and you should be the master of Pingguo's mansion as soon as possible."

Ji Cheng lowered his head, and responded obediently, "I will move to the Pingguo Mansion in the next year, and I will definitely live up to your majesty's high expectations."

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng looked at each other in blank dismay, with exactly the same thoughts floating in their hearts at the same time.

It was too easy for Emperor Changping to dismantle Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong.

They seem to be just tender and sweet for a moment at the beginning.

Ji Mingtong, the father's daughter, took the lead in defecting, and immediately chose the old father between the old father and her boyfriend.

The weak and helpless Ji Cheng could only go with the flow, first he accepted Ji Mingtong's words of not wanting him under the persecution of Emperor Changping's gaze, and then continued to give in when Emperor Changping urged him to start a family and start a business.

Something is wrong!

Not to mention how arrogant Ji Mingtong is as the favorite of the family, Ji Cheng, as the most beloved grandson of Qinghe County King and Qinghe County Princess, is not a fuel-efficient light.

These two people... Something went wrong, either they were planning to become demons, or they were already on the road to become demons.

Emperor Changping didn't notice Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng's worries at all, and said in an insatiable way, "The order will be made in June, the ceremony will be held in three months, and the big wedding will be in autumn. I will give you the ceremonial guard of the county king's wife to you, Mrs. Pingguo."

After all, he was the child who grew up under his watch, including Prince Qinghe and Prince Qinghe's face. He didn't want to make a fuss and would not interfere with the selection of Mrs. Pingguo.

As expected, Ji Guo did not respond immediately and cheerfully like before.

The atmosphere that had just eased up fell into an indescribable silence again. Except for Ji Mingtong who was staring down at Dongzhu on his toes in a daze, everyone else turned their eyes to Ji Cheng.

When the ashen-faced Prince Qinghe rushed to the door, he just heard the words of Emperor Changping setting Ji Cheng's wedding date.

He stopped the hand that was about to push the door, and waited quietly for Ji Cheng's answer.

The Prince of Qinghe County has two sons and two daughters, and Ji Cheng is the youngest son he and his wife love the most.

The eldest son will inherit the title of Qinghe County King in the future and support the honor and disgrace of the clan, so he must be strictly taught, and he has been by Qinghe County King's side since he was a child.

As the daughters of the clan who were more beautiful than the princess in the Yanguang Dynasty, the two daughters also have unshirkable responsibilities. They must be strictly required to set an example for the clan.

Only the youngest son was lucky. When he was born, Emperor Yanguang was already addicted to pleasure and only wanted stability in the government. Finally, he was willing to recognize Prince Qinghe who could save him a lot of trouble.

With the stable position of Qinghe County Prince's Mansion, Ji Cheng can also have a childhood that is completely different from his brothers and sisters. Qinghe County King and others will make up for the guilt towards his brothers and sisters on him.

In the beginning, the eldest son and daughters of Prince Qinghe County were jealous of his younger brother.

However, the elders of the Prince's Mansion of Qinghe County saw their reactions, but never stopped them from being alone with their younger brother.The young Ji Cheng has a rare good temper, even if he was bullied and cried, as long as he has a piece of candy, he can immediately forget the "old enmity" and post it cheerfully.

Over time, Ji Cheng's status in the hearts of his brothers and sisters has risen sharply. He is not so much a younger brother as he is actually a son.

Hearing about Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong from Mo Yao suddenly, the prince of Qinghe County didn't believe it at first, and then became annoyed like never before.

Before today, the prince of Qinghe County had never thought that one day, Ji Cheng would make such a big mistake that even Qinghe County's palace could not protect him.

Now that the matter has come to this point, the prince of Qinghe County is furious, but the most worrying thing is the anger from Emperor Changping.

With the face of Qinghe County Prince's Mansion, Ji Cheng wouldn't have any fear of his life, that's all.

Emperor Changping could have sent Ji Cheng far away, without hurting each other's faces, and preventing future troubles.

The prince of Qinghe County thinks he can accept such a result, but he is not sure whether the increasingly soft-hearted father and mother in the family can accept being separated from their favorite grandson when they are old.

This is a good opportunity.

As long as Ji Cheng agrees to Emperor Changping's words, with Emperor Changping's character, he will definitely not pursue the past.

If Ji Cheng doesn't know each other...

Prince Qinghe gritted his teeth secretly, and the veins on his forehead suddenly became very obvious.

Ji Cheng inside the door didn't know anything about the crisis that came quietly. He took two steps back under everyone's gaze, and summoned up the courage to say, "Chen..."

Facing Emperor Changping's threatening gaze, Ji Cheng's courage that had just mustered up immediately dissipated, and he strode back again.

Seeing Ji Cheng's wretched and evasive appearance, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were able to fully confirm their previous guess.

Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng were so easy to talk to, they really held back a big move and waited for Emperor Changping.

Ji Xinxue quietly approached Ji Mingtong, ready to stop Ji Mingtong when Emperor Changping exploded.

Ji Cheng was caught by Emperor Changping and would only be beaten.

If caught by the Jinwu Guards, I am afraid it will leave a long-term psychological shadow.

It's a pity that neither Ji Mingtong, who was staring at Dongzhu on the toe of his shoe in deep thought, nor Ji Cheng, Ji Xinxue, and Yu Heng who were tense, didn't pay attention.When Ji Cheng retreated for the first time, Song Nian leaned over to Emperor Changping's ear for a moment.

Ji Cheng stopped only half a step away from the door, quietly put his hands behind his back on the door frame, and then summoned up his courage and said angrily, "I can't marry a wife! If people know about impotence, I won't live." ..."

There was a loud bang.

Due to the huge force of the door panel, Ji Cheng flew towards the other side uncontrollably, and was caught between the door panel and the wall without making a sound.

Under the terrified gaze of the juniors, Prince Qinghe rushed into the bedroom angrily, "Ji Cheng, get out!"

Before the words fell, the door that had been pushed open behind Prince Qinghe County immediately returned to its original state, and was firmly pressed back to the 'wall'.

It was useless to remind Ji Xinxue, Ji Mingtong covered his mouth and hid behind Emperor Changping.

She cowardly hid behind Emperor Changping's seat, only showing her two eyes to observe Prince Qinghe's son, which was exactly the same as Ji Cheng's wretched hiding at the door just now.

Facing the phoenix eyes that were full of anger to the prince of Qinghe County, Ji Xinxue subconsciously circled around to show the prince of Qinghe County.

He is as tall as Ji Cheng but thinner than Ji Cheng, it is impossible to hide Ji Cheng.

Fortunately, the prince of Qinghe County only glanced at Ji Xinxue, and did not intend to embarrass Ji Xinxue.He looked at Yu Heng who was sitting on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Where did Ji Cheng hide?"

Yu Heng touched his ankle that was completely 'swelled', and said in a low voice, "I was pushed to the knee by Jin Ming, so I didn't pay attention to Ji Cheng."

The prince of Qinghe County never expected that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng would dare to shield Ji Cheng in front of Emperor Changping's bread, and suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and asked Emperor Changping directly, "Where is that evil hidden?"

Ji Mingtong immediately squatted down like a rabbit that can burrow in the ground, not giving the prince of Qinghe any chance to see her.

Emperor Changping silently looked at Prince Qinghe's son, with hesitation gradually appearing between his brows.

In case 'Brother' really lost his temper...how could he have the face to meet his uncle and grandmother?

After waiting for a long time for an answer, Prince Qinghe asked impatiently, "Ji Linyuan? Talk!"

Emperor Changping coughed lightly, got up and walked towards Prince Qinghe, "Brother, don't worry, they have admitted their mistake just now, let's guide slowly..."

The Crown Prince of Qinghe County immediately thought of Ji Cheng's confession of impotence, and the anger in his eyes became more intense, "Where is there so much nonsense?"

Mo Yao, who was always by the side of the Prince of Qinghe County, frowned, grabbed the hand of the Prince of Qinghe County and pointed to the door where Ji Cheng was hiding, "There."

Ji Xinxue gasped.

As expected of Mo Yao, it was so terrifying.
