I was a princess in ancient times

The butler who hurried over broke the silence, "Duke Ping, General Hongyi, General Honghui, Ninghe County Head, and Ningya County Head are invited to come to the banquet."

Suddenly, crisp music sounded beside the Eight Treasures Stand, and everyone who hadn't had time to restrain their surprise turned their heads to look.

It was exactly two hours before the banquet began.

Not long ago, when the Duke and Duchess of England celebrated her birthday, although the dignitaries from the royal family also came to the Duke’s residence for the sake of Xianglin County King’s face, they did not arrive until there were only two quarters of an hour left before the banquet.

Indescribable complexity flashed in the eyes of the Duke of England, and he looked at Yu Heng calmly.

No matter how proud he is of being the head of the Qi family and the Duke of England, he has to admit that the sudden change in attitude of the distinguished guests of the clan in less than a month has nothing to do with the Duke of England in all likelihood.

Could it be that Yu Heng's sudden insistence on letting Qi Boxuan go back to Chang'an was really just because he missed his father?

The British Lord's eyes moved to the face of Qi Boxuan who was dozing off with his hands in his sleeves, and the complexity in his eyes became more intense.

At the beginning, because he was too impatient, he allowed his eldest son to treat Yu Heng harshly.He never expected that the eldest son would be so confused that he would attack Yu Heng and let the old man of Qinghe County know about it.

The eldest son lost the title of eldest son, and Yu Heng moved out of the British government, all of which were huge losses to the Qi family.

Over the years, he and his wife have tried their best to win over Yu Heng, trying to coax back Yu Heng's already biased towards the Ji family.He even did not hesitate to personally support the third family to discourage the eldest son when the eldest son had the most hope of regaining his position as the eldest son.

However, Yu Heng's attitude towards the Qi family is still getting colder and colder, which is completely opposite to the British Duke's expectations.

Occasionally, when he is completely swallowed up by regret and anger, the British Duke will inevitably give birth to "the child is disobedient because of lack of lessons." ' Thoughts.

It's a pity that time has passed too fast, and Yu Heng has changed from a small county king whose mother died early and his father is not around, to the son-in-law of the new emperor.

On the other hand, the Qi family was first disturbed by the movement of the Shangzhou case and couldn't eat, and then couldn't sleep at night because of the first war in northern Xinjiang and the turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River.

When the Duke of England finally made up his mind and was ready to seize Yu Heng at any cost, Yu Heng had already taken advantage of the wind and became an upstart in the court.Whether it's status or the power in his hands, they all stabilize the Qi family.

Even when Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue publicly showed their love at the court meeting and angered Emperor Changping, Duke Ying didn't find a chance to sneak in and make Yu Heng obey.

The Duke of England never expected that Yu Heng, who left him and his wife helpless, would ask for anything from Qi Boxuan.

If he had known to let Qi Boxuan go back to Chang'an, Yu Heng would have been obedient, but he definitely wouldn't... It's fortunate that the complexity in Duke Ying's eyes was completely fixed.

You still have time!

With Yu Heng's power and love, he can not only protect the Qi family through the crisis, but also help the Qi family to return to the peak of power.

Qi Boxuan's closed eyes did not know when to open them, and the peach blossom eyes that were slack due to exhaustion and sleepiness narrowed into arcs that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, "Aye, what's your order?"

The British prince, who had been completely absorbed in his thoughts, suddenly came back to his senses.

He naturally took off the eldest son's cloak and put it on Qi Baixuan, and said with a smile, "If you are really sleepy, go back to your room and take a nap first, and when the ceremony begins, I will ask you to come to watch the ceremony."

Qi Boxuan suddenly laughed hard for some reason, at first it was just that his thin body couldn't hang the cloak, so that the snow-white fox fur was stained with dust.Not long after, he fell from the wide chair to the ground.

"Rokuro!"

"Aye?"

……

Yingying Gong, Qi Baizhi and Yu Heng reached out their hands at the same time.

The hands of the first two happened to hit the same place, and they made a very loud sound. Yu Heng grabbed Qi Baixuan's shoulders and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

A person who is eight feet tall is not as heavy as Emperor Changping's little black bear.

He could even clearly feel the protruding curvature of each rib.

Yu Heng lowered his head and stared at the person who was still smiling happily, "Aye, what are you laughing at?"

Qi Boxuan waved his hands, the distress in his eyes completely dissipated, and he said vaguely, "It's a bright day, I had a dream."

Before Yu Heng could ask, Qi Boxuan got up staggeringly.

He picked up the white fox cloak and put it on his shoulders, and walked slowly towards the door, "I'll go back to sleep and come back to watch the ceremony later."

Yu Heng followed closely, "I'll take Aye back..."

The British public eye quickly grabbed Yu Heng's wrist, and said with a smile, "The decoction that Liu Lang took recently has the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep, so that's why he is particularly drowsy. Feng Lang doesn't need to worry."

Qi Boxuan didn't look back, and lazily raised his hand and waved it.

It seems to agree with the words of the British prince, but it also seems to be perfunctory without any meaning.

Yu Heng stopped and turned to be fair to Britain, "Why don't you let Aye go to the princess mansion for recuperation? There is an imperial doctor given to me by His Majesty in the mansion, so it is very convenient to prescribe and take medicine."

The Duke of England immediately shook his head, with a hint of sadness on his brows, "Liu Lang will not agree to go to the princess' mansion to recuperate. He is in Chang'an, how could he leave the place where he once lived with the princess?"

Yu Heng lowered his eyelashes to hide his indifference.

Qi Baizhi didn't want to waste time here, so he took the initiative to break the silence, "Ping Guogong and General Hongyi and others rewarded us personally, we can't be rude."

The British Duke immediately nodded, raised his hand and patted Yu Heng on the shoulder, "Most of the distinguished guests from the clan came for Feng Lang, so Feng Lang should entertain them."

The proud son of the clan inevitably has his eyes high above the top, and the eldest son no longer has a title, and because he lost his title because of his actions against Yu Heng, he will inevitably be looked down upon and even teased by the dignitaries of the clan.

As an elder, he wouldn't waste time on these juniors who didn't even grow their hair.

Letting Yu Heng go can not only show the respect of the host and guests, but also quietly announce to all the guests that the Xianglin County King is not only the Xianglin County King of the clan, but also the Xianglin County King of the British government.

On the other side, Qi Boxuan returned to the sixth room, and went straight to the main courtyard that had been sealed off for a long time.

Ten years have left no trace on the rosewood dowry, but the jewelry inside is inevitably not as bright as before.

Qi Boxuan opened the second grid on the left, and sure enough, he saw the familiar phoenix hairpin.

Pale fingers picked up the old hairpin and looked it over carefully, "I didn't admit my mistake...cough, cough cough."

The pain and itchiness that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly burst through the throat, turning into an earth-shattering cough.

"Liulang?" The young servant broke through the door, and easily picked up Qi Baixuan and put him on the soft bed, "Why are you coughing so badly, is the Duke forcing you again, or the county king making you angry?"

Qi Boxuan let out a chuckle, but the price was choking and coughing again.

He looked down at the wet palm, the morbid paleness made the bright red even more eye-catching, just like Yu Yu's lip balm before he was buried.

"It's terminally ill, how can there be no symptoms?" Qi Boxuan smiled and looked at the silently crying healthy servant, and calmly ordered, "When I die, you go and tell Yu Heng to cremate me and distribute the ashes to the merchants." Everywhere, without…”

"Liulang!" The servant named Qianqian who was a strong man interrupted Qi Baixuan's unlucky words quickly, and said "bah" several times, praying that the ghosts and gods who happened to pass by would not remember Qi Baixuan's nonsense.

Qi Boxuan laughed again and coughed a few times.

Although he has no nostalgia for the world, he doesn't want to delay his niece's important affairs.After all, he suppressed his smile, quietly looked at the top of his head, and carefully felt the cycle from pain to numbness in his chest.

This time the pain was shorter than last time, maybe next time it won't hurt anymore.

Qi Boxuan smiled again, "Prepare a pot with a spicy base, I'll blow the cold wind after I'm full."

Qianqian put down Qi Boxuan's hand, and said in a muffled voice, "The imperial doctor said that the soup you are taking must not be spicy, otherwise..."

He didn't have the heart to finish the sentence.

Qi Boxuan's body has long been riddled with holes, and he relies on sewing and mending for strength.

If you are not careful, it will collapse completely.

Qi Boxuan didn't appreciate it, he said coldly, "You are not a servant of the British government, so you shouldn't stay here."

"Without me, you wouldn't be able to eat spicy pot!" Qianqian said immediately.

In the entire British government, only he is loyal to Liulang wholeheartedly, and the others will only listen to the words of the British prince and his wife.

"So you have to keep in mind your only value." Qi Boxuan smiled again.

Qianqian was silent for a moment, and respectfully, she wiped her tears and went to the kitchen to pass the meals.

Qi Shisan's Jiji ceremony was more lively than anyone expected.

When everyone thought that Yu Heng was Qi Shisan's biggest face by rushing back to the British government for his next-door cousin when the sky was still daylight, a quarter of an hour later, Ji Cheng and several nobles from the clan arrived.

Two quarters of an hour later, Li Jinhuan, Zhang Siyi, Lin Wei and several major generals from Beijiang who had made great achievements arrived.

The news spread to various governments, and many families who had received invitations but did not plan to attend the banquet opened their warehouses to choose gifts, and planned to go to the British government to choose their son-in-law or grandson-in-law.

At that time, Ji Xinxue, Huo Yu, and Yan Meng rushed to the British government.

Princess Dewan and Princess Huayang arrived later.

Countless dignitaries and courtiers came in a hurry, and even a second-rank official rewarded him personally.

Of course, the courtiers didn't come to the British government specifically to see the little girl Jiji who had no impression, they wanted to take the opportunity to inquire with Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng about the progress in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

At three o'clock, Ji Minyan, Ji Jingrou and Ji Baoshan arrived.

Princess Xuanwei, grandson concubine Qinghe County, and Yanning County Lord came hand in hand.

The South Korean government next door to the British government finished the baptism of the grandson neatly, and happily went to the British government to join in the fun.

At five o'clock, Ji Jingyu and Abu Hanbing came in person, followed by many generals from Beijiang who didn't know why and just wanted to join in the fun.

The more distinguished guests there are in the British government, the more people want to come to the British government to join in the fun.

At the same time, there are more and more descendants of down-and-out families who want to take the opportunity to find opportunities for success.

Before the ceremony could begin, the British government was in a hurry because of the guests far beyond expectations, and even had to arrange the family members of officials below the fifth rank to be entertained in the side courtyard.

When the Jiji Ceremony officially started, the people in the main courtyard watching the ceremony were either princes or princesses, or family members of nobles with titles or third-rank officials.

Because there were too many guests, only the people in the first row could sit and watch the ceremony. Others wanted to see the specific process, so they had to stand crowded.

Even the guests who were not curious about Qi Shisan and Yan's process still acted curious for Yu Heng's sake.

For example, Princess Xuanwei who dozed off with her eyes open.

The hairpin that Yu Heng brought was taken away by Qi Baixuan, and he did not order anyone to go back to Princess An's Mansion to get a new hairpin.

When Jiji Ceremony was about to begin, Princess Yiyun deliberately came to Yu Heng to ask for the hairpin.

Hearing this, Ji Minyan took off the phoenix hairpin on her head, and said with a smile, "This is a birthday gift from Auntie for me when I was born. Take it to give Qi Shisan some extravagance."

Every year when she receives such a gift, she will wear a hairpin when she goes to the girls' banquet, so that she can show it off at any time, so as not to be an eyesore every day.

The smile on the eyebrows of Princess Yiyun suddenly froze.

Queen Wang's phoenix hairpin?

I'm afraid it will be contaminated with bad luck.

Ji Xinxue was sensitive to the change in the atmosphere, and subconsciously raised her eyelids to observe everyone's expressions.

The clan's face showed displeasure, and the rest of the people said 'it's not a big deal to watch the excitement' all over their faces.

There were also people who looked at Ji Minyan's siblings, Yu Heng, and Ji Xinxue with inquiring eyes, wondering whether such a stagnant atmosphere was not just about the little girl's ceremony.

The old god Yu Heng was playing with Ji Xinxue's fingers, turning a blind eye to all kinds of gazes on his body.

Princess Dewan got up and took the phoenix hairpin from Ji Minyan's hand, and said with a smile, "I'll comb Fenglang's cousin's hair."

After hearing the words, the displeased clan members restrained the fierce look in their eyes.

If it weren't for the face of King Xianglin and His Royal Highness, who would care about Jiji, the girl from the British government?

Princess Yiyun hid the irritability in her heart, and warmly thanked Princess Dewan for her kindness.

If she had known it would be like this, she would not have listened to the British Duke's orders, so she might as well have used Queen Mother Su's phoenix hairpin for her youngest daughter.

Although the Jiji ceremony was lively, the guests' minds were not on Qi Shisan, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were no exception.

"You will be crowned this year." Ji Xinxue suddenly remembered this, and said to Yu Heng in a low voice, "Aye chose the word Jiaomo for my brother, I don't know what word I will choose for you."

It's a pity that Ji Jingyu was in northern Xinjiang when he was crowned, so the ceremony could only be kept simple.

Although Yu Heng's Jiguan is in Chang'an, it is not easy to cross Ji Jingyu, and I am afraid it will not be as lively as Qi Shisan's Jili.

Emperor Changping failed to be Ji Jingyu's guest of honor, and was so angry that he approved five hundred memorials, and he would definitely not miss Yu Heng's coronation ceremony again.

In all likelihood, Prince Qinghe's son would not back down on this matter.

I hope that the British government and the Yu family will have self-knowledge, and don't force Emperor Changping and the prince of Qinghe County not to talk about martial arts.

Suddenly a light flashed in Yu Heng's eyes, and he whispered in Ji Xinxue's ear in a barely audible voice, "Shall I make you a gift?"

"What to make up for?" Ji Xinxue subconsciously said, "I'm one year younger than you, and I won't be crowned until next year."

and many more……

What did Yu Heng just say?

Ji Xinxue turned her head in disbelief, staring closely at Yu Heng's eyes with probing eyes, "Did I hear it wrong, or did you say it wrong?"

Yu Heng coughed lightly, and said in a low and quick voice, "You misheard."

How could he make such excessive demands on Ashetti?

Ashe was forced to dress up as a woman for many years.

Although Ah Xue didn't dislike women's clothing, but now he has returned to his normal husband's dressing-up for many days, so he may not want to recall the experience back then.

If Yu Heng hadn't turned his head immediately, and the side of his face and ears hadn't turned red like an allergy, Ji Xinxue might have believed Yu Heng's nonsense more easily.

After a brief shock, Ji Xinxue immediately became very interested in this proposal.

Women's clothing is only the first time and countless times.

Unless the appearance is too 'male'.

Women in the former dynasty reached the age of 15, but women in the Yu Dynasty did not have a rule, and usually reached the level before making a decision.

As long as you are not married, 20 years old and Ji are fine.

So when Ji Xinxue resumed men's clothing, she never had a formal wedding ceremony, and she never wore a formal dress like the wedding ceremony.

It seems... not bad.

Ji Xinxue leaned close to Yu Heng's ear, and asked sincerely, "Where are you going to hold a wedding ceremony for me? Are there any guests?"

Shocked and speechless, Ji Xinxue, who was caught off guard, turned into Yu Heng, who was blaming himself.

"It can be at Hot Spring Zhuangzi." Ji Xinxue coughed lightly, holding back the embarrassment that flooded her face, and her speech speed suddenly became faster, "Secretly invite brother and sister to come to watch the ceremony."

Wear normal gorgeous dresses during the day, and wear... firefly dresses at night.

Yu Heng nodded immediately.

If it weren't for the fact that he was strangling his thigh, he couldn't even keep calm.

Not far away, Ji Jingrou raised his hand in front of Princess Xuanwei who suddenly fell silent, "Xuanwei? What's wrong with you?"

Princess Xuanwei suddenly came back to her senses, looking at Ji Jingrou with envious eyes, "It's okay."

Princess Anwu in Jiji gown!

Perhaps it is the last women's dress of Chang'an's first beauty.

I really want to get an invitation.

After the wedding ceremony, Qi Shisan, as a girl recognized by the family as a grown-up girl, should personally thank the guests present.

The British princess dragged her sick body and accompanied Qi Shisan to wash herself.

She signaled the maid to leave the room, picked up the heads that had faintly revealed precious light, inserted them into Qi Shisan's bun one by one, and asked in a low voice, "Today, there are many unmarried young talents coming to watch the ceremony, what do you think of them?"

Bright colors appeared in Qi Shisan's eyes, his cheeks were as rosy and plump as ripe apples, and the brows were full of the unique beauty of young girls, "Grandma asked what these were for? They came to see the wedding ceremony of the younger sister of Xianglin County King, and It's not Qi Lingyu's Jiji ceremony."

Satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the Duchess of England, and her face became more kind, "Why do you underestimate yourself, the King of Xianglin has more than one sister, but you are the only one who is worthy of such a big show."

When Qi Shisan heard this, the pride in his heart completely surfaced on his cheeks, and he said triumphantly, "It's my fate. Even if my brother wants to flatter certain people, they can't handle them with their concubine status."

Qi Mei, that worthless thing, even if she climbs up to Princess An's mansion, she is only worthy to be the daughter-in-law of a fourth-rank general.

How can it be compared with her?

In her Jiji, there are princes and county kings who personally support her, and there are countless young and promising generals.

Seeing this, the British Duchess, the smile on the corner of her mouth faded almost invisibly, but her tone became more kind, even flattering, "My grandfather and I originally thought that my aunt was the luckiest girl in the family, but I didn't expect it to be short-sighted and ignored her. about you."

Qi Shisan loves to hear this.

She hated the eldest sister who was born a few years earlier than her, who took away the name of the distinguished eldest granddaughter.

"Grandmother and grandfather did not ignore me, I will always remember your kindness." Qi Shisan smiled and looked at the kind grandmother in the bronze mirror.

The ruby ​​tassel fell on Qi Shisan's ear following the movements of the British princess, and immediately attracted her full attention.

She had never seen such a gorgeous ruby.

No, it's not that I haven't seen it, but I haven't owned it.

The top gemstones I saw before belonged to my grandmother, mother and aunt, and were the dowry of my eldest sister, and had nothing to do with her.

This is her first set of top ruby ​​tops.

So lovely!

"Think about the big events that happened some time ago."

A bewitching murmur sounded in Qi Shisan's ears, and at the same time, Ruby Tassel suddenly went away.

"What?" she asked subconsciously, her bright eyes following the ruby ​​tassel.

"The matter between His Royal Highness Fifth and your elder brother." The British lady gently tapped the tip of Qi Shisan's nose, complaining in an intimate tone, "Even a girl can't be completely sad about these things."

Before Qi Shisan could admit her mistake, Mrs. Ying took the initiative to explain her doubts.

Qi Shisan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his eyes completely moved away from the beautiful ruby ​​tassels.

She was already a little clever, but the British princess completely took advantage of her arrogance, and deliberately guided her deep ambitions, and almost didn't waste much effort, so that Qi Shisan was completely hooked.

Grandma was right.

Brother has ignored her for so many years, it is impossible to think of her without any reason.

It is impossible for His Majesty to allow elder brother and His Highness the Fifth Highness to divide the peaches openly.

His Highness the Fifth Highness will marry a wife sooner or later, and she is the most suitable candidate.

Noble status, worthy of the status of a princess.

Being of a similar bloodline to my elder brother's, the Fifth Highness can have a child of my elder brother's bloodline.

Qi Shisan returned to the banquet with unprecedented ambition.

She just had a face-to-face meeting with Ji Xinxue, and she immediately caught Ji Xinxue's attention.

There is no other reason, the ambition in the little girl's eyes is too obvious.

The smile on the corner of Ji Xinxue's mouth was restrained, and she quietly hid behind Ji Minyan.

He and Yu Heng praised the British government just to gain the trust of the Qi family.

There is a lesson to be learned from heaven and earth, and there is absolutely no idea of ​​making romantic debts.

Ji Minyan was unhappy because of the hairpin reward before, seeing Qi Shisan redressing her makeup, without wearing the phoenix hairpin she rewarded, and just talking to Ji Xinxue, without any intention of thanking her, the indifference in her eyes deepened.

For an ignorant girl, it is good to learn more rules.

Because of the tacit understanding reached earlier with Ji Xinxue, Ji Minyan casually found an excuse and gave Qi 13 two nuns to teach, in order to consume the little girl's mind and make her have no time to play Ji Xinxue's ideas.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the cousins ​​in the next room are very different.

She would rather have multiple sisters-in-law than such a sister-in-law.

After Qi Shisan's birthday, the British government suddenly changed from a declining noble to a thriving upstart, and even the Cui family and other even more declining families followed suit.

Yu Shi was stimulated by this, and even did something dizzy.

On the third day after Qi Shisan's birthday, a person named Yu Ran wrote a letter to Yu Heng.

The letter stated that Chu Mo had left several autographed letters to his family members, but it was a pity that the Yu family was facing a life-and-death crisis and had no time to spend manpower and material resources to find those letters for Yu Heng.

Ask Yu Heng to help Yu Shi through the crisis of life and death first.

Ji Xinxue leaned on Yu Heng's arm to read the letter, then subconsciously threw herself on Yu Heng's back, and stroked her throat with her palms.

This is a request?

It is clearly hanging from the southeast branch!

Before Yu Heng had time to worry about it, the Yu family had watched Chu Mo being forced to death back then, and they had the nerve to blackmail Yu Heng with Chu Mo's relics.

Did they really think that by handing over Chu Mo's body through the ignorant villagers in the third year of Changping, they could perfectly conceal everyone?

Still like the Duke of England, he regards Yu Heng as a junior who can be ignorant and used at will, forgetting that Yu Heng is also the king of Xianglin County.

Lin Zhao went back and forth, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, there is a man who claims to be your uncle, who said he has a token from our ancestors, and begs you to honor the promise of your ancestors."
