I was a princess in ancient times

"Ash?"

Although Ji Mingtong didn't notice the sudden silence in the garden, he noticed Ji Xinxue's abnormality.

She turned around in the direction where Ji Xinxue raised her head, her eyes were facing the bottomless phoenix eyes, and the smile on the corner of her mouth suddenly stiffened.

Ji Baoshan was even more unpromising than Ji Mingtong, she was so frightened that she threw the flower basket in her hand, and shouted at the top of her throat, "Run! Aye is here, and Mo Yao is here!"

The scream that pierced the sky successfully broke the stagnation, the corner of Emperor Changping's mouth raised a sneer, and his eyes flicked across the faces of all the people below who were looking up at him as if they were counting accounts.Grasping Mo Yao's forearm tightly with his backhand, he returned to a position where the guests in the garden could not spy on him.

Ji Xinxue was caught off guard by Ji Baoshan and staggered. She finally stabilized her figure, and when she raised her head again, she could no longer see the figure of Emperor Changping.

It was only at this moment that he could understand why, as the saying goes, unscrupulous spoiling of younger siblings will result in retribution sooner or later.

Ji Xinxue lifted her skirt and ran away.Seeing death as home, he rushed in the direction of the rockery, just in time to block Emperor Changping who jumped off the half-human-high boulder gracefully.

"Aye! You..." He was quick to wit, and looked overjoyed, "You actually have time to come to the small banquet?"

At the same time as the awkward chat started, Ji Xinxue quietly tightened her arms hugging the hem of the skirt.

The rockery was almost three stories high, and the distance between him and Aye was also very far.

As long as he doesn't let go, Aye won't notice that he's wearing a skirt.

Emperor Changping crossed his arms, and looked at Ji Xinxue silently, from head to toe, all the way up, and finally stopped at Ji Xinxue's hands.

Yu Heng arrived in time, and relying on the tacit understanding with Ji Xinxue, he took the conversation correctly, "It just so happened that Axue told the servant in advance to prepare brand new clothes according to His Majesty's size. I will take your Majesty to change clothes first, and then go to the table?"

Ji Jingyu, Ji Cheng and the others, who were only half a step behind, looked at each other in blank dismay, with surprise first appearing in their eyes, and then all of them turned to admiration, and their empty hearts suddenly became at ease.

As expected of A Xue and Feng Lang, they were already prepared.

Only Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng knew that there would be Emperor Changping's clothes in Zhuangzi because they originally planned to invite Emperor Changping to soak in the hot spring during the Chinese New Year.

It's a pity that Emperor Changping wasn't fooled.

He turned to look at Ji Jingyu and asked, "Why is Xiao Wu wearing a skirt?"

Ji Jingyu was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Yu Heng.

"Look at me, answer within ten numbers, and others are not allowed to interrupt." Emperor Changping called Ji Jingyu's attention in time.

The non-existent Mo Yao spoke skillfully, "One, two, three..."

As the number was reported without any emotion, and when everyone didn't pay special attention, it quietly accelerated, and Ji Jingyu's heart beat faster and faster.He clearly wanted to think carefully, but there was only chaos in his mind.

Because I can't let Aye know, Xiao Wu is going to hold the wedding ceremony today!

So it cannot be admitted that Xiao Wu wears a skirt.

But the skirt is on Xiao Wu's body, so you must not tell obvious lies, and make Aye angry again...

"...eight, nine, ten."

Mo Yao's voice seriously affected Ji Jingyu's sanity, so that he didn't know what he was talking about when he spoke, "Xiao Wu only has a skirt and no other clothes!"

Emperor Changping nodded as usual, looked at Ji Jingrou who was beside Ji Jingyu, and asked the question in exactly the same way as when he asked Ji Jingyu, "You can only consider ten numbers when you ask why Xiaowu wears a skirt, and you are not allowed to look at other people. .”

Before the words finished, Mo Yao had already spoken again.

Ji Jingrou has long been used to having her elder sister and elder brother take care of everything.Eldest sister, elder brother can't stand it, and younger brother.

With time running out, she subconsciously affirmed Ji Jingyu's statement, and made a 'reasonable' addition, "Little Wu only has skirts...it's convenient to wear skirts!"

Emperor Changping nodded appreciatively, and then looked at Ji Mingtong, also without giving her any time, he immediately asked, "Why is Xiao Wu wearing a skirt?"

Seeing Emperor Changping's hand gesture, Mo Yao continued to act as a counting tool with no emotion but 'faults', "One, two, three..."

Panic flashed in Ji Mingtong's eyes, and he subconsciously said, "Because it's convenient, it's just, it's easy to take off, easier to take off than pants!"

Ji Xinxue stared dumbfounded at the brothers and sisters who were talking nonsense one after another.

If he hadn't witnessed the process of Emperor Changping's 'extorting a confession' with his own eyes, he would have really suspected that they had intentionally partnered to frame him.

He was just distracted, and Mo Yao started a new round of counting. As expected by Ji Xinxue, compared with the speed of counting in the previous round, the time left for the person being questioned to think was shorter.

The person being questioned this time was Ji Baoshan.

Before Ji Xinxue could speak, Ji Baoshan had already answered, "Fifth brother is going to take a hot spring bath with his cousin, and skirts are easier to take off than trousers... Mmmmmmm!"

Emperor Changping glanced lightly at Ji Xinxue, with a smile in his eyes, but it made Ji Xinxue's hands and feet go numb, and even Ji Baoshan, who was struggling frantically, couldn't control it.

Ji Baoshan had already realized that she had said the wrong thing through Ji Xinxue's special action of covering her mouth.Even though he regained his freedom, he didn't dare to make a fuss, and lowered his head pitifully like a drowning cat.

Ji Xinxue closed her eyes in despair, no longer thinking about dying.

If he doesn't admit that he is going to hold a small banquet today, what he is going to do, I am afraid it will be staged in the mouths of his brothers and sisters...

Ji Xinxue glanced at the dust under her feet, and couldn't bear to kneel down directly.

He once again mentioned that because of stopping Ji Baoshan's outrageous skirt, he took the initiative to walk to the position next to Emperor Changping, looking forward to Ai Ai's confession, "I was invited to participate in several wedding ceremonies a while ago, and I found it very interesting. I also want to try... "

The piercing smile on Emperor Changping's face suddenly subsided, and he looked at Ji Xinxue from top to bottom again, "Really?"

"It was I who had this idea first, and then inspired Ah Xue's heart." Yu Heng interrupted Ji Xinxue's unspoken words, and knelt down to plead guilty without hesitation.

Seeing this, Ji Xinxue's eyelids twitched heavily.

spendthrift!

This is floating satin!

Floating satin that cannot be washed!

It took a hundred skilled embroiderers three years to weave satin materials worth thousands of dollars from the Western Regions to weave enough satin for the dresses worn by him and Yu Heng.

There is only one word difference, so the value of Fuguang satin and Fuguang brocade differs by more than a thousand times?

Even if Ji Ji Li couldn't continue because of Aye's sudden arrival, such solemn and gorgeous clothes could be saved for another time.

Unexpectedly, it was so easily destroyed in the mud.

Emperor Changping mistook Ji Xinxue's pity for Fu Guangsan in Ji Xinxue's eyes for Ji Xinxue's distress for Yu Heng.

For a while, it was hard to judge who was lying.

Empress Dowager Su's confidant nanny came over suddenly, first saluted Emperor Changping respectfully, and then conveyed Empress Dowager Su's explanation, "Empress Dowager, please give Your Majesty the Fifth Highness some face. Let's get excited, lest they come back disappointed and laugh at the Fifth Highness in their hearts."

Emperor Changping neither agreed nor continued to attack.

He looked down at Yu Heng who was kneeling straight, "Go, take me to change first."

It was rare for Ji Jingyu to be clever, and before Emperor Changping turned around, he said tentatively, "Feng Lang took Aye to change clothes, and my son went back to the garden to entertain the guests first?"

Emperor Changping glanced at Ji Jingyu with a half-smile, but still neither stopped nor responded.

After Yu Heng took Emperor Changping away, Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou returned to the garden to entertain guests.

Ji Jingrou was afraid that Ji Baoshan, who had red eyes from guilt, would disturb Ji Xinxue, so she deliberately coaxed Ji Baoshan away, leaving only Ji Mingtong who had nothing to say to Ji Xinxue on weekdays.

Ji Mingtong carefully observed the emotion in Ji Xinxue's eyes, and said in a low voice, "When Aye went to change clothes, he was no longer angry."

Ji Xinxue nodded thoughtfully.

In terms of accurately feeling the emotions of Emperor Changping, he would not have any doubts about Ji Mingtong.

"You go to change clothes first?" Ji Mingtong suggested, "When Aye comes back and sees that you have resumed your usual clothes, maybe you won't think about Jijili again."

Naturally, she will no longer be angry.

Ji Xinxue pondered for a while, then shook her head resolutely, "Go and tell brother and sister not to let people take away the things you prepared in advance."

Not to be missed.

If he missed this opportunity, he would have no reason or courage to prepare another ceremony behind Emperor Changping's back.

Besides, both Feng Lang and he have put in countless efforts and energy for today, how could they not make any efforts and watch each other's expectations go in vain.

Ji Xinxue tightened her arms holding the skirt again, turned around and walked in the direction where Emperor Changping left.

Ji Mingtong subconsciously stretched out his hand, trying to stop Ji Xinxue.

It is by no means an easy matter to make Aye change his mind.

If stealing the chicken does not result in a loss of rice, not only is there still no way to redeem Jiji, but Aye will count the crimes and punish him, wouldn't it be a blood loss?

However, after reaching out his hand, Ji Mingtong didn't say anything to stop him.

She watched Ji Xinxue go away, and immediately went to find Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou.

As long as it is what Ah Xue wants to do, it will definitely succeed!

On the other side, Emperor Changping's mood has returned to calm.

He also asked the question that Yu Heng had asked the day before yesterday, the specific process of the small banquet.

It's not that I want to settle the old score with Yu Heng, but I just want to judge whether Ji Xinxue and others have lied based on Yu Heng's words.Is it because they wanted to hold a wedding ceremony, as they said, that the small banquet was set up?

Now that the matter has come to this point, there is no need for Yu Heng to hide the truth from Emperor Changping.

Like Ji Xinxue, he felt unwillingness and luck in his heart, but more of his trust and dependence on Emperor Changping in his bones.

Not only did he tell Emperor Changping all the details of the finalized small banquet, but he even told Emperor Changping in detail about the plans that had been canceled and why they gave up their original ideas.

Unknowingly, there was expectation and pleading in his tone that he didn't realize.

It's like a big wolf who doesn't know how to beg for food from his master, but sits in front of him all the time, so obedient as to make people feel distressed.

Seeing this, Emperor Changping deliberately turned his head away from Yu Heng, but he didn't stop Yu Heng from chattering as if he had changed, and the anger that suddenly rose in his heart gradually dissipated.

Just a gift...

Just when Ji Jingyu and the others leaked their words, Emperor Changping thought that these two little bastards wanted to secretly marry behind his back based on the scene he saw when he was on the top of the rockery.

Although Yu Heng was not as sensitive to Emperor Changping's emotions as Ji Mingtong and Ji Xinxue, but he had been with Emperor Changping for more than ten years, how could he be wrong, whether Emperor Changping was angry?

He held back his shyness and said, "Is the servant changing clothes for His Majesty?"

Emperor Changping paused, and said with a sneer, "Zhong Wuyan has something to do, and Xia Yingchun has nothing to do."

Before Yu Heng could react, Emperor Changping took three steps into two steps, and walked into the room first.

Poor Songnian was afraid that the Queen Mother and Concubine Su would not be in the palace, and the little masters would be neglected by the careless palace people.Go to Tranquility Palace early in the morning to visit the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Princess.

Then, with the latest children's toys in storage, they went to visit the seventh princess and the eighth princess in turn.

After turning a full circle, he was startled.

Emperor Changping didn't wait for him, and left the palace at dawn.

If Emperor Changping brought Jingzhe out of the palace, Song Nianquan would suddenly have more than half a day free, but Emperor Changping didn't bring Jingzhe, only Mo Yao was by his side.

Songnian pondered for a while, but he still couldn't feel relieved.

How strong and upright is General Mo?

How can I take good care of Your Majesty?

Song Nian tells Jing Zhe to pay more attention to the little masters, and rides lightly to the Zhuangzi, intending to wait for the rabbits.

As the noon clock struck, Song Nian knew that his attempt to wait for a rabbit had failed.

Fortunately, he has a token that can make Jin Wuwei ignore his existence, so he can easily go to Zhuangzi to check the situation without disturbing Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng.

Song Nian mingled with Jin Wuwei and cautiously approached the garden. When he looked up, he saw Emperor Changping 'appearing out of thin air'.

Now that Emperor Changping had appeared in front of everyone aboveboard, Song Nian no longer had to carefully conceal his whereabouts.His ability to reduce the sense of presence has won the true teaching of Mo Yao.In the process of silently running behind Emperor Changping, he only got Mo Yao's brief gaze.

Yu Heng was the second person who discovered Song Nian.

Because Song Nian took advantage of Emperor Changping's entry, and quickly winked at Yu Heng.

Ji Xinxue was the third person who discovered Song Nian.

When he ran to the changing place of Emperor Changping with his skirt in his arms, there were only two people at the door, Mo Yao and Songnian, standing on both sides of the door.

Because Mo Yao's sense of presence was too strong when he was by the rockery, Ji Xinxue still didn't think there was anything wrong with Song Nian wearing a robe different from the soft armor of the Jinwu Guard.

He gasped and asked, "Is it convenient for me to go in and see Aye?"

Hesitation appeared on Song Nian's face.

His Majesty has obviously softened his heart towards the county king. If the Fifth Highness goes in now, it may not be counterproductive.

Seeing Song Nian's hesitation, Ji Xinxue turned her attention to Mo Yao again.

With Mo Yao's hearing ability, he can definitely hear what the people in the house are saying.

Mo Yao looked at Ji Xinxue calmly, obviously he hadn't understood the words for decades, but somehow gave people the illusion of 'deliberately' not understanding the words.

Ji Xinxue immediately suppressed this ridiculous idea, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

Before the arched knuckles touched the carvings, the door had opened from the inside, revealing the faces of Emperor Changping and Yu Heng.

Emperor Changping caressed Ji Xinxue's head, and said nonchalantly, "What are you doing here?"

Ji Xinxue subconsciously raised her hand and touched the smooth long hair, only to realize that his hair was hanging loose, and he hadn't had time to wear the hairpin, so he didn't need to worry about the non-existent bun.

After receiving the hint from Yu Heng's eyes, Ji Xinxue quietly concealed the surprise in her heart.

He skillfully hugged Emperor Changping's arm, and said with a guilty conscience, "Will you wear a hairpin for me later, Aye?"

According to the ancient rituals, women should wear hairpins and hairpins by respected female elders.

When a man reaches the crown, it is the older man who has a majestic male elder who wears the crown for the crowned person.

However, Ji Xinxue is neither a real woman, nor will she be bound by the so-called ancient rituals.Responding to Xia Yuheng's proposal to prepare Jiji ceremony for him is already an extremely deviant behavior.

Therefore, the process of Jiji Ceremony is very arbitrary, and we try our best to satisfy all the guests' desire to participate in it.

Since Emperor Changping came in person, Ji Xinxue also hoped that Emperor Changping would wear the hairpin for him, even if it was only out of selfishness.

Originally, Ji Xinxue wanted to make Emperor Changping happy first, and then asked Jiji ceremony to continue as normal or to reduce some procedures.

Now omitting many steps in the middle and directly making the final request, Ji Xinxue really couldn't help feeling guilty.

Thanks to his trust in Yu Heng, he was able to barely keep calm under the gaze of Emperor Changping.

Aye, don't force him...

Otherwise, he could only kneel down, hold Aye's thigh tightly and beg for mercy!

Mo Yao and Song Nian are both here, which is quite embarrassing.

Emperor Changping stared fixedly at Ji Xinxue for a while, then suddenly smiled compromisingly, "Let's go."

Forget it, how could it be possible for a person of high position and authority not to have hobbies.

Some people love money, some people love sex, some people love to play... His little five just has a hobby that is innocent, hurtful, big, and elegant.

If Ah Xue and Feng Lang's minds can stand the test of time and difficulties, today's Jiji ceremony is just a small scene that couldn't be smaller.

Ji Xinxue followed Emperor Changping as if she was in a dream, her eyes filled with disbelief.

So Easy?

Does this agree?

He must not be dreaming!

Sensing that Emperor Changping stopped suddenly, the pure joy in Ji Xinxue's eyes immediately became vigilant.

Emperor Changping turned his head to look at Yu Heng, raising his free arm seemingly unintentionally.

Seeing this, Song Nian pushed Yu Heng's waist calmly, and his eyes were filled with relief.

Approaching the garden, Emperor Changping suddenly coughed lightly, and naturally withdrew his arm from the arms of the two juniors beside him.With one hand behind his back, he stepped into everyone's sight with his head held high.

"Go and do your work first, I will ask Auntie how to wear hairpins."

If he didn't come today, the person who gave Xiao Wu the hairpin would be the Queen Mother Su.

Thinking of this, Emperor Changping suddenly felt an inexplicable sourness in his heart, and he looked at Empress Dowager Su with a three-pointed sorrow, which made Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su smile again and again.

Ever since Emperor Changping appeared suddenly, the juniors and guests who were panicking like quails had to rely on the Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su to make the Poseidon needle so that they didn't panic in circles.

They saw that Emperor Changping had a relaxed smile on his face when he came back, and Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su didn't even look sad at all, and their tense hearts finally relaxed.

Ji Mingtong took advantage of Emperor Changping's doting on her, and deliberately grabbed Ji Baoshan to act coquettishly and foolishly.

Ji Baoshan has already realized the big mistake she made before, and finally found a chance to redeem her sins. She has a more positive attitude than Ji Mingtong, and even recited a poem, eagerly waiting for Emperor Changping to praise her.

This is the back road she specially prepared for herself, and she intends to use it when Emperor Changping can't bear her.

It didn't take long for the garden to return to the bustle it was before Emperor Changping appeared.

On the other side, Ji Xinxue finally understood why Yu Heng didn't feel sorry for the gown made of satin.In order to avoid accidents at the ceremony, he prepared three sets of identical dresses.

Because he was afraid that Ji Xinxue would say that he was extravagant and wasteful, Yu Heng didn't specifically tell Ji Xinxue about it.

Ji Xinxue looked down at the folds of the skirt, and said expressionlessly, "You look like I'm a little dumbfounded."

If he had known that there were clothes he could change, why would he hold the hem of the skirt wherever he went?

However, the dress is made of a lot of materials. When it is all piled up at the waist, it looks like a swimming ring with five layers. If you walk again, wouldn't it be an ugly duckling, wobbly?

Taking advantage of Ji Xinxue's defenselessness, Yu Heng planted an instant kiss on the side of his face, and said hoarsely, "You are an ugly duckling, what are others, bald goose?"

Ji Xinxue smirked, raised her hand to stroke Yu Heng's thick hair, and said in an unclear way, "Who is the other person? You?"

Yu Heng willingly claimed the new title of Bald Goose, and chatted other wild gossips with Ji Xinxue.

The two whispered for a long time before reluctantly parting under the servant's urging.

It was obviously just a restart of Jiji Li, which had to be stopped because of the sudden appearance of Emperor Changping.

But because of Emperor Changping who had agreed to add hairpins to Ji Xinxue, they could not calm down the inexplicable excitement in their hearts for a long time.

At the end of the day, Jiji ceremony starts again.

Ji Xinxue changed into new clothes, stepped on the path paved with petals, and walked slowly to the center of the garden under the watchful eyes of everyone.

First, listen to the elders.

Because Emperor Changping suddenly cut off Hu for Ji Xinxue's hairpin, the admonition was changed from being presided over by Concubine Su to being jointly presided over by Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su.

In the future, Ji Xinxue will neither care for her husband nor teach her children, nor will she be able to obey the three virtues.

Concubine Su decided to admonish Ji Xinxue with the life records of the ancient Mingjun in the history books.

The two held up half of the pages of the book, and even if they didn't discuss it specifically, they had an extraordinary tacit understanding.

Ji Xinxue listened to the training with a solemn face, and respectfully took the booklet copied by Concubine Su herself, and said in a deep voice, "Although my son is not sensitive, I dare not slack off."

Then there are peer blessings.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng got up at the same time and went to change their clothes respectively.

They took off their stately gowns and returned to the garden in the finery of a banquet.

All the guests who came to participate in the Jiji ceremony prepared a gift by themselves.

From the exquisite hairpins, to the luxurious hairpin rings, to the assorted accessories...they are all the jewelry that my daughter used to use at home.The wooden box containing the gift was surrounded by Ji Xinxue with open arms, shining with jeweled iridescence in the sun.

At the beginning, the guests were still restrained in their actions because they were worried that Emperor Changping would be unhappy suddenly.

Until Princess Xuanwei sent a gift... a colorful gem apron made of thin gold chains.

However, Ji Xinxue didn't raise her head in order to maintain her dignity, so she naturally missed Princess Xuanwei's wink.

He thought that Mo Yao was there, and he specially held up Princess Xuanwei's gift to display.

Since then, the gift-giving guests no longer have stiff backs, no heavy legs, and their whole bodies are full of lightness.

For the first time, they felt from the bottom of their hearts that General Mo was a good person.

For the sake of General Mo, His Majesty did not punish Princess Xuanwei, let alone punish them.

Yu Heng wanted to participate in Ji Xinxue's Jiji ceremony throughout, but was unwilling to steal any limelight, so he knelt and sat silently with Ji Xinxue in the same dress as Ji Xinxue.

He only lowered his head shyly when Ji Xinxue held up Princess Xuanwei's coming-of-age ceremony, and silently clenched his fingers resting on his knees, showing the unease of a young man.

Emperor Changping looked at Yu Heng who followed Ji Xinxue step by step, and suddenly felt more and more pleasing to the eye, and couldn't help touching the purple jade butterfly who almost never left his body.

Maybe……
