I was a princess in ancient times

Hearing this, Mo Yao's eyes flashed brightly, and he asked, "Your Majesty also has invitations?"

Emperor Changping lowered the end of his eyes gradually, looking at the worship in Mo Yao's eyes inscrutablely, and did not answer for a long time.

Song Nian wiped off the sweat from his forehead, opened and closed his mouth several times.Instead of opening his mouth, he quietly moved towards the door.

As expected of General Mo, he never disappoints when it comes to adding fuel to the fire.

At the same time, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were hesitant to send invitations to Emperor Changping.

Originally, they had never thought about this issue at all, but Ji Mingtong accidentally leaked the word in Tranquility Palace, letting Concubine Su know about Jijili.

Concubine Su not only didn't think it was absurd, she even took out a box of hairpins and gave it to Ji Xinxue.

Among them are the hairpins worn by the founding empress Wu Ning, the phoenix hairpins used by successive empresses, and even treasures that have been handed down from hundreds of years ago.

In addition, Concubine Su also hinted to Ji Xinxue tactfully that she also wanted to watch the ceremony.

Ji Xinxue doesn't need those precious hairpins but she can't say 'no' to Concubine Su, and she can't ignore Queen Dowager Su when she invites Concubine Su.

On the second day of May, Ji Minyan and A Buhanbing prepared a funeral ceremony for Ji Xinxue and sent it to Chang'an ahead of schedule.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng counted the list of guests for the last time based on the invitations that had been sent out.

Empress Dowager Su, Concubine Su.

Ji Jingyu, Xiao Ning, Ji Jingrou, Ji Mingtong, Ji Cheng, Ji Baoshan...

Looking at it this way, Ji Xinxue's conscience suddenly ached.

Do you want to send invitations to Emperor Changping?

Send, there are two possibilities.

Ji Ji Li, who had been preparing for nearly two months, fell to pieces in situ, and he and Yu Heng could only hope for their own blessings.

Emperor Changping gladly accepted the invitation, and the family reunion and ceremony were held.

Ji Xinxue touched the suddenly numb scalp, and felt that the probability of the second possibility was less than one percent.

If not, there are two possibilities.

Emperor Changping knew about it afterwards and was angry.

Emperor Changping knew about it afterwards and was not angry.

Regardless of Emperor Changping's reaction, the Jiji ceremony that has been completed will become a good memory.

It's best for Aye not to be angry. If he is angry, he and Feng Lang will be shameless... Anyway, it's not the first time to be shameless.

Yu Heng deeply felt that what Ji Xinxue said was reasonable.

In the past two months, he personally watched all the details of Jiji Li, and finally hoped that everything was ready.If because of Emperor Changping's words, Jiji ceremony became indefinitely far away, he really couldn't bear it.

But he still had the last hesitation in his heart, "Will this be a regret for His Majesty?"

"Sorry?" Ji Xinxue was stunned.

How can it be?

Many images came to his mind.

There was a seven-year-old who left the small courtyard for the 'first time' to see Emperor Changping who was still King Jia, and was mercilessly ridiculed.There is also Changping who returned to Chang'an from the fiefdom in three years. Every time he saw Emperor Changping, it meant that he had to re-comb his hair.Then in the fifth year of Changping, he returned to Chang'an from the fiefdom again, and was always stared at by Emperor Changping with all sorts of critical eyes.

Ji Xinxue can assure you that Emperor Changping will only find his women's clothing an eyesore, and will never regret not seeing his women's clothing.

As for Jiji...

Ji Xinxue coughed lightly, and asked next to Yu Heng's ear, "Do you think Aye will look forward to my graduation ceremony?"

No expectations, why disappointment?

When Yu Heng heard this, the hesitation between his brows immediately dissipated.

will not.

"I heard that Aye has already prepared the gift of the crown for you. I will wait until next year when I will reach the age of the crown. Aye will look forward to it. Or..." Ji Xinxue obviously paused for a while, speaking quickly Suddenly speeding up, "If, if a few years later, Aye agrees to our marriage, can our marriage be regarded as something that Aye is looking forward to?"

Yu Heng subconsciously tightened the hand around Ji Xinxue's waist, and suddenly remembered the scene when Ji Minyan and Abu Hanbing paid homage.

If it was him and A Xue...

The two of them were obsessed with imagining the bright future, and they never thought that even if they didn't tell Emperor Changping and Ji Li, they would attract Emperor Changping's attention.

Because the ninth day of May is not a day for rest and bathing, from the fifth day of May onwards, the invited guests have been looking for reasons to spare the ninth day of May.

Xiao Ning, Li Jinhuan, Zhang Siyi, Yan Meng, Huo Yu and others work in different yamen respectively. As long as they complete the errands at hand in advance and say hello to Shangfeng and his colleagues, they can easily escape.

Ji Jingyu, Ji Xinxue, Yu Heng and Ji Cheng were in trouble.

How can we find a reason to ask for leave on the ninth day of May without arousing Emperor Changping's suspicion?

Emperor Changping made an agreement with Mo Yao to "surprise" Xuanwei on the ninth day of May, so he temporarily forgot about it.

Until Ji Jingyu came to him, with an unconcealed shyness, he naturally told him that he wanted to take Xiao Ning to Zhuangzi to play on the ninth day of May.

At that time, Emperor Changping was looking at the brochures sent back from Beijiang, thinking that the wedding date of Ji Jingyu and Xiao Ning was getting closer, and the time spent alone before the wedding was getting less and less, so he easily agreed to Ji Jingyu's request.

After approving all the papers, Emperor Changping realized that something was wrong.

"The ninth day of May? Why does it sound familiar to me?" He turned to Song Nian and asked, "What day is this?"

From the corner of his eye, Songnian looked at the man who was leaning against the corner with his arms folded and his eyes closed, and said vaguely, "I don't remember this day..."

"It's the day when Xuanwei went to Yuheng's Zhuangzi for a banquet." Mo Yao strode across Song Nian like a gust of wind, and strode to Emperor Changping, "You promise me that you will bring me to the banquet together."

Emperor Changping's frowning brows stretched instantly, and he looked at Song Nian who had completely bowed his head with a half-smile.

Ji, Jing, Yu.

Even if he is honest, he really took Xiao Ning to the Zhuangzi to play, to Yu Heng's Zhuangzi to play.

Ji Cheng deliberately waited for a day before coming to Fengxiang Palace to ask Emperor Changping for leave.

With Ji Jingyu's reminder, before he could open his mouth, Emperor Changping could already guess his reason for coming.

Ji Cheng couldn't figure it out, he asked King Ling about the process of asking for leave yesterday.

King Ling clearly told him that His Majesty had been reading the scriptures the whole time, so he easily agreed to King Ling's request.

Why was it his turn, not only did His Majesty not read the scriptures, but also looked at him with a half-smile?

Song Nian looked at his nose and his heart with his head down, not daring to give Ji Cheng any reminders.

Seeing this, Ji Cheng's legs suddenly became weak, and his knees hit the ground directly, making a very loud voice, "Your Majesty, the last time I met Mingming was half a month ago, at the banquet at the Prince's Mansion of Xinyang County, only in full view of everyone. Xia and Mingming had a conversation, and they didn't dare to presume a little bit."

The coldness in Emperor Changping's eyes eased slightly, and he said perfunctorily, "Good boy."

Apart from preferring impotence to marrying a wife and having children, Ji Cheng's feelings for Ji Mingtong are both sincere and naive, like a young child obsessed with candy, which really made Emperor Changping unable to hate him.

Ji Cheng cautiously raised his head, and tentatively said, "Then... Is there anything wrong with this minister? Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

Emperor Changping was either annoyed by Ji Cheng's shivering appearance, nor was he smiling. After all, he let go of his mouth according to Ji Cheng's request, and gave a reminder, "What did you come to see me for?"

As the evil star of the family, Ji Cheng's most sensitive talent is to recognize the emotions of his elders.

Sensing Emperor Changping's relaxed attitude, he asked him kindly why he came.Ji Cheng took it for granted that Emperor Changping's half-smile had nothing to do with him.

It was only because of his unlucky arrival that he would be affected.

Ji Cheng heaved a sigh of relief visibly, and said straight to the point, "I'm very tired these days, and I want to take a nap for a few days, please Your Majesty's grace."

Emperor Changping stared condescendingly at the person who was facing him, and asked casually, "How many days do you want to rest?"

"Seven days!" Ji Cheng cheered up immediately, and the look on the corners of his eyes and brows had nothing to do with exhaustion, "I have been fighting with His Highness since the Chinese New Year. His Highness and Yu Heng have rested twice, but I never Never asked for leave."

Today is the sixth day of May, and he asked for a seven-day leave. Even if His Majesty is only willing to give him half, it can cover the ninth day of May, and there is even room for it.

Emperor Changping saw the cunning in Ji Cheng's eyes clearly, and suddenly he had a severe headache.

He had no doubt that even if he was only willing to give Ji Cheng a half-day vacation, Ji Cheng would put off his errands until after the ninth day of May.

Isn't this very clever?

How come when you go to school or do errands...

Ji Cheng walked towards Emperor Changping on his knees, and the more he said, the more pitiful he became, "Your Majesty knows how strict Aye is to my ministers. When Aye saw me yesterday, he said that I was very thin. I advised you to put aside the unimportant things in your hands and raise yourselves. When you are in good health, you can do errands for His Majesty."

Emperor Changping looked at Ji Cheng carefully.

In just half a year, Ji Cheng has indeed undergone great changes.

The sons and daughters left him one after another to inspect the fief, and when they returned to Chang'an, they also grew up just like Ji Cheng, as if they had grown overnight.

Not surprisingly, Ji Minyan will stay in Northern Xinjiang for at least two years this time, and maybe when she returns to Chang'an, she will hold a child called his grandfather in her arms.

Thinking of this, Emperor Changping suddenly couldn't bear to embarrass Ji Cheng anymore, and readily agreed to Ji Cheng's seven-day vacation.

Ji Cheng received grace and did not leave immediately.

He knelt down and said all the good things, which made Emperor Changping show his face, and then he left in high spirits.

Although he is not as lucky as King Ling, and just happened to meet His Majesty when he was in a bad mood, but who made him smart and sensible!

As soon as Emperor Changping raised his hand to let Ji Cheng go, he heard that Ji Jingrou and Ji Baoshan of Ji Mingtong had left Chang'an and were going to Zhuangzi to play.

Song Nian snatched back the teacup from Emperor Changping's hands quickly, and carefully checked whether there was any crack in Emperor Changping's favorite teacup. A box of Jiangnan's playthings."

Emperor Changping unfolded his stiff fingers as if nothing had happened, and said casually, "Well, let's take a look."

Three-color butterfly white porcelain vase, butterfly enamel vase, screen embroidered with butterflies... There are nine items in total, eight of which have the outline of butterflies, and the remaining one is a picture scroll made of dried butterfly wings.

As soon as these things were moved out of the wooden box by the little eunuch, Song Nian felt great pressure.

Hearing Emperor Changping's 'joyful' laughter, Songnian bowed his head guiltily.

The king of Xianglin County has been sending butterflies to His Majesty for several months like a day. Even if he is a fool, it is hard not to understand what the King of Xianglin County means.

Fortunately, neither Ji Xinxue nor Yu Heng appeared in front of Emperor Changping on the seventh day of May, and on the eighth day of May, the low air pressure around Emperor Changping had returned to normal, so Song Nian would not feel guilty about sleeping and eating.

But what should come will always come...

On the afternoon of the eighth day of May, Yu Heng finally appeared in front of Emperor Changping.

He honestly asked for leave with a 'true' reason, "I will hold a small banquet in Zhuangzi tomorrow, and I would like to invite guests. Your Majesty, please allow me to rest and take a bath."

When Emperor Changping heard this, the tensed corners of his mouth eased a little, and he suddenly felt that his behavior of being so concerned about this banquet was a bit naive.

It's just a little secret of the juniors.

...It's all Mo Yao's fault.

Emperor Changping shook his head with a smile, and asked, "What kind of banquet is it? Jingyu, Ji Cheng, Jingrou, Mingtong, and Baoshan, are they all because of your banquet to spare tomorrow's time?"

Yu Heng suppressed the panic in his heart, and after being silent for a while, he came up with a suitable description, "During the Chinese New Year, Axue and I have no time to relax, and we hardly get together with friends and close people. I want to make up for a small banquet when I have time now. .It only takes one day, and there will be no delay in major events."

Emperor Changping asked again, "What's the process, is there any shortage of singers and dancers for performances, or food and playthings for entertaining guests?"

Yu Heng immediately shook his head, and said with difficulty, "There is nothing missing."

Afraid of Emperor Changping's questioning, he added, "A Xue personally prepared the show."

"Okay." Emperor Changping nodded gratified, "it's okay to play for a few more days, tell Jingyu and Ji Cheng, don't rush back, don't forget the next court meeting."

Hearing this, Yu Heng was very guilty, and carefully picked out some things that he was not afraid of being known by Emperor Changping, such as... He explained all the details clearly except Jiji ceremony before leaving Fengxiang Palace.

After returning from Zhuangzi, His Majesty asked about the banquet again, and he and A Xue confessed.

Emperor Changping watched Yu Heng leave, turned his head to look at Mo Yao, and suddenly felt a little invisible pride in his heart.

It is also related to the banquet.

Xuanwei deliberately kept it from Mo Yao.

Feng Lang not only answered all questions, but also took the initiative to introduce various details of the banquet for him.

"His Majesty?"

Mo Yao could sense Emperor Changping's emotions, but it was difficult to analyze what the emotions were.

Emperor Changping got up and walked towards Mo Yao, and asked patiently, "Just now Feng Lang has told the details of the banquet and the guests, are you still worried?"

"No." Mo Yao replied.

Only the unknown will make people worry about gains and losses.

Emperor Changping said with a smile, "Feng Lang's banquets are all juniors. If we rush to join in the fun, I'm afraid it will make them restrained. Why don't you wait for them to come back with peace of mind..."

The Jing Zhe who hastily entered the door caught the attention of Emperor Changping.

"Your Majesty, the empress dowager and the concubine left the palace half an hour ago, saying they were going to pray for blessings at Lingyun Temple outside the city."

The smile in Emperor Changping's eyes gradually froze, and he fell into deep thought.

Such a coincidence?

Aniang and aunt could be...

Mo Yao quietly passed Emperor Changping and went out, and came back with the scorching warm wind, "After the empress dowager and the empress dowager leave the city, they will first settle down in Princess Baoding's Zhuangzi."

He stopped in front of Emperor Changping and asked, "What did His Majesty want to say just now? Why don't you wait with peace of mind..."

"It's better to go quietly, so as not to disturb their interest in having fun." Emperor Changping said loudly.

On the ninth day of May, when it was still daylight, Emperor Changping opened his eyes, lifted his long sword and went to the martial arts arena.

Banquets usually start at noon, and Emperor Changping and Mo Yaomao left the palace at about noon, and first ate breakfast for half a street in Chang'an City, and then found a teahouse to pass the time.

At Chenshi, the two left the teahouse and hurried to the suburbs of Beijing.

In order to achieve the goal of not disturbing the younger generation, both of them wore the clothes of the Jinwu Guard, so that they could enter Zhuangzi without hindrance, without attracting attention.

At three o'clock, the two arrived at the hot spring village where a small banquet was held.

Mo Yao walked around Zhuangzi and chose the place to climb over the wall. He wanted to carry Emperor Changping over the wall but was rejected. He was surprised to find that Emperor Changping was very skillful in climbing over the wall.

Although most of the Jinwu guards in Zhuangzi were private guards that Emperor Changping had given to Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, but Emperor Changping came in person, and there was Mo Yao beside him who could prove his identity. These people would never disobey Emperor Changping's order.

His Majesty asked them not to tell His Majesty that His Majesty was here.

His Highness did not order them to pay attention to whether His Majesty would come suddenly.

In the eyes of Jin Wuwei, it means that they turned a blind eye to His Majesty's arrival.Not only to complete His Majesty's order, but also to complete His Highness's order.

With Mo Yao's keenness, he can quickly figure out the entire layout of Zhuangzi based on what he heard and seen without having to ask the Jinwu guards in Zhuangzi to lead the way.

He led Emperor Changping to turn left and right, and walked up the rockery.

In this position, they can have a panoramic view of the entire banquet garden and see each guest clearly, but the people in the garden cannot see them.

Even if someone with exceptionally good eyesight occasionally catches a glimpse of the light blue hem of their clothes, they will take them for granted as Jinwu Guards.

Emperor Changping first saw Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su sitting arm in arm, then Ji Jingrou, Ji Mingtong and Ji Baoshan who were snuggling close beside them, and slightly further away were Ji Jingyu and Xiao Ning with bright smiles.

Feeling the joy and expectation of these people from the heart, he was even more curious about why they gathered here behind his back.

Is there anything happy that you can't let him know?

With only half a quarter left before noon, the musicians in new clothes walked towards the neatly placed zithers in the corner of the garden.

At noon, the bell rings first, and then the zither and flute.

Wearing the black dress that Yu Heng would wear when offering sacrifices, he walked towards Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su along the path full of brilliant spring flowers, and bowed solemnly to them.

Ji Jingrou led her sisters carrying flower baskets, and ran towards the opposite direction from when Yu Heng came, smiling.

Emperor Changping on the rockery moved his eyes following Ji Jingrou and the others, and there was a grievance in his eyes that he hadn't even noticed.He is not such a rigid person like the prince of Qinghe County, even if the juniors close their doors to engage in ancient rituals that may be talked about by outsiders, there is no need to deliberately hide it from him.

Not only would he not stop, but he could stand behind A Niang and Aunt to accept the gift.

[-]. Point, all, no, occupy, place, square.

The only thing that can comfort him now is that he has not seen Prince Qinghe and Prince Qinghe's son so far.

Mo Yao also focused on where Ji Jingrou, Ji Mingtong, and Ji Baoshan ran away, his pupils suddenly dilated silently, and he let out a voice that seemed surprised but barely broke through his throat, "Your Majesty?!"

"Huh?" Emperor Changping responded subconsciously, but unfortunately he couldn't get any information other than the weirdness from Mo Yao's performance.

The strong sense of weirdness made his heart beat faster, and he immediately turned his head to look at where Ji Jingrou was.

The fragrant petals were thrown into the air by the catkins of the girls, and the rainbow halo formed by the mist and the sweet floral fragrance poured down, falling on the broad shoulders of the same black dress.

The person with loose long hair curled his eyes silently. Even with sword-like eyebrows and star-eyed eyes, it was difficult to conceal the charm of romantic fluidity and joy, which added a bit of indisputable charm.

Emperor Chang Ping stared blankly at the person whose eyebrows and eyes were [-]% similar to him, but who seemed not at all the same, getting closer and closer, and subconsciously took half a step forward.

Thanks to Mo Yao grabbing his waist in time, Emperor Changping was able to maintain his balance and not fall off the rockery.

Only in this way, his figure is completely exposed to the guests of the garden.

Ji Xinxue subconsciously looked at the person who appeared suddenly.

The mysterious Jinwu Guard.

Nothing.

He adjusted his breath calmly and continued to move towards the ceremony.

and many more!

Ji Xinxue, who had already raised her legs and walked forward, suddenly raised her head. The figure of this person... seems familiar?

Just when a gust of warm wind hit, while blowing Ji Xinxue's skirt, it also blew off the Jin Wuwei's hat on the rockery, revealing almost the same facial features as Ji Xinxue.

Although they were nearly 30 years apart, and one was wearing a dress and the other was wearing the soft armor of the Jinwu Guard, there was almost no difference in body shape.

If you have to care about the details, the people on the rockery are stronger.

...is the kind of strong man who can lift the long sword without any effort, so that the people down the mountain can only run away with their skirts in their arms.

Ji Xinxue took half a step back.

Wake up!This must be a dream!
