I was a princess in ancient times

Naturally, the officials of the Ministry of Rites would not make fun of King Jia on such a good day. After handing over the imperial decree to King Jia, the minister of the Ministry of Rites who announced the decree personally helped King Jia up, and then bent down to help the fourth lady who was even more gorgeously dressed.

King Jia took the initiative to stop the servant of the Ministry of Rites, "Xiao Wang thought that the Ministry of Rites had gone to the eldest brother and fourth brother first, so he didn't arrive for a long time."

After finishing speaking, King Jia stared at the Minister of Rites for a long time, and made a short breath, "Huh?"

Ji Xinxue, who had already followed Si Niangzi's movement and stood up silently, raised her head quietly, just in time to see the look on the face of the Minister of Rites as if she was being run over by a wheel along the back of her feet.

Ji Xinxue lowered her head again, as she did before hiding behind Mrs. Zhong, she moved quietly to hide behind King Jia, minimizing her presence.

He was trapped in the yard for seven years.

Although Mrs. Zhong regards him as her heart and soul, all the servants in the yard are well handled by Mrs. Zhong's wet nurse, Nanny Li, and the dowry colored stones and beads, and they never dare to do anything to deceive the master.

But after all, it is an isolated life.

Even if Zhong's family occasionally sent a message to Mrs. Zhong secretly, it was probably because of the family's fault.

Ji Xinxue suddenly walked out of the yard where he had been trapped for seven years, like a frog who had always lived at the bottom of a well jumping out of the well unexpectedly, except for the blue sky above his head, he was a strange existence.

Facing King Jia's questioning, the Minister of Rites could only smile wryly.

The saint's descendants withered, and only five princes survived.

The eldest prince lost his mother since he was a child, and he was able to grow up to be entirely dependent on the care of the empress. After the death of her own son, the empress had repeatedly begged the sage to record the eldest prince under her name.

The fourth prince was born by the imperial concubine's concubine's concubine when she was in the residence, and was raised by the imperial concubine's side since childhood.

If the saint agrees with the empress, he must also let the imperial concubine fulfill his wish.

The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince are siblings of the same mother, both born to Zhou Zhaoyuan. The Ninth Prince was raised by Concubine Shu since childhood, and the Tenth Prince was raised by Zhou Zhaoyuan herself.

Although the princes are exactly the same in terms of their mother's humbleness, their situations are quite different.

The First Prince, Fourth Prince and Ninth Prince all have adoptive mothers from well-born families.

The tenth prince was the youngest son, and Zhou Zhaoyuan was the only concubine who gave birth to two princes in the harem. The saint liked the youngest son when he was hiding in the mansion, and he loved Zhou Zhaoyuan a lot.

However, the prince who is most favored by the saint is the sixth prince born to Su Zhaoyi.

When the princes opened their mansions back then, the former minister of the Ministry of Rites tried to figure out the sage's mind, and only prepared the mansions for the princes according to the duke's system.

The eldest prince and the fourth prince saw the repaired palace and didn't say anything, but the sixth prince turned his face on the spot and cursed at the Minister of Rites.

Before the scolded Minister of Rites came back to his senses, the sixth prince had galloped away and went directly to the palace to find the saint.

The former minister of the Ministry of Rites not only didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, but he also wanted to comfort his subordinates, and was sure that the saint would not blame him, and maybe he would pressure the sixth prince to make amends for him.

Not only the Ministry of Rites waited to see the sixth prince's jokes, but everyone who heard the news secretly sighed that the sixth prince was young and energetic.

The saint has been on the throne for many years, and even the people in the capital have heard that Emperor Yanguang only likes sons who have not yet been crowned, and he is very harsh on adult princes.

It's not like treating your own son, but like treating the son of an enemy.

In the morning court the next day, the sage was really furious, but he questioned the Minister of Rites, "You have prepared a public mansion for my son instead of a royal mansion. Do you think I am not worthy of the throne?"

Hearing this, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites no longer saw his composure when making fun of the sixth prince, and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. Fortunately, he was still a little sensible, and he didn't say clearly that he was speculating on the mind of a saint, so he deliberately shamed the princes. He doesn't even have the title of king, and it is precisely because he is the prince of a saint that he can live in a duke-style mansion.

After hearing the explanation given by the former Minister of Rites, the saint's anger gradually disappeared, and the sixth prince suddenly sighed and knelt at the saint's knees, weeping.

The sage asked the sixth prince why he was crying.

The sixth prince replied, I just found out today, because my son is Aye's son, I stole it for 16 years, where everything you see is Yaotai Xianchi, and everything you touch is full of delicacies.

After hearing the words of the sixth prince, Emperor Yanguang treated his adult son lovingly like a father for the first time in his life. He immediately deposed the Minister of Rites and gave the repaired Sixth Prince's Mansion to the Ninth Prince and the Sixth Prince The former emperor gave the Fangfei Garden to Emperor Yanguang, and ordered the new Minister of Rites to rebuild the Sixth Prince's Mansion on the basis of Fangfei Garden.

Although the mansions of the First Prince and Fourth Prince, including the mansion that had been transferred to the Ninth Prince, had been refurbished, none of them were as meaningful as the Fangfei Garden that the Sixth Prince had obtained.

From then on, the sixth prince replaced the ninth prince and became the most beloved prince of the saint. Even the birth of the tenth prince did not affect the status of the sixth prince.

Out of the corner of He Shilang's eyes, he looked at King Jia's left side, Xuanming county head, who was dressed in beautiful clothes and with the same royal dignity as King Jia, and Ningshu county, who was half hidden behind King Jia and hardly raised his head. The master saw it in his eyes, and his mind couldn't help being complicated for a moment.

No wonder the sage favored King Jia, not only did King Jia give up his own son to the sage for medicine, he even dared to risk the world's displeasure by openly punishing his own daughter who had failed to do anything in offering a son.

He Shilang clenched the tip of his tongue secretly, suppressing all the thoughts he shouldn't have.

He bowed to King Jia again, and explained in a low voice, "The prince was summoned into the palace by the sage as soon as he arrived at the Ministry of Rites. Until I set off from the Ministry of Rites, I didn't see the prince send someone to tell me when he will leave the palace."

Such a major event as crowning the prince as a king cannot be postponed until tomorrow, let alone announce the decree after it has completely darkened.

As the left servant, He Shilang could only bite the bullet and stand on top.

King Jia's brows moved slightly, and he said in a low voice, "In the residence of eldest brother, fourth brother and ninth younger brother, who is going to announce the decree?"

Only then did He Shilang understand why King Jia was unhappy, his heart sank slightly, he took half a step forward, raised his head and whispered something in King Jia's ear.

When Si Niangzi backed away, Ji Xinxue pretended not to see the wink that Si Niangzi gave him, and remained motionless like a small tree rooted behind King Jia.

The eldest prince was granted the title of King Li, and the fiefdom was in Jiannan Road.

The four princes were granted the title of King Yi, and the fiefdom was in Longyou Dao.

The Ninth Prince named Zhenwang, and the land was in Lingnan Road.

It's a pity that Ji Xinxue is so old and has never seen a map. Even if he heard He Shilang's words, he still doesn't know where the fiefdoms of these princes are.

King Jia hung his head and didn't speak for a long while, seemingly lost in thought.

He Shilang was afraid that King Jia would make trouble, so he moved his feet frequently like ants on a hot pot, but he didn't dare to disturb King Jia easily.

It was only today that the Ministry of Rites learned that the sage was going to crown the princes kings.

After the early court, all the officials of the Ministry of Rites in Beijing gathered for this matter.

After discussing with everyone, they felt that at least three fiefdoms and titles should be provided for each prince to choose from, and then let His Majesty decide for himself.

Unexpectedly, before noon, and the prince had not returned from the palace, Eunuch Xi, who was beside the saint, came to the Ministry of Rites with the saint's handbook.

On the handwritten letter were written the fiefs and titles selected for the princes, ordering the Ministry of Rites to announce the decree immediately.

The titles and fiefs of the princes really have nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites.

But these words... can't be told directly to the princes.

In both the First Prince's Mansion and the Fourth Prince's Mansion, He Shilang almost failed to walk out of the gate of the palace.

Now it's the turn of the always domineering Sixth Prince... He Shilang felt more and more bitter, and only begged King Jia to show mercy so that he could rush to the Ninth Prince's Mansion before the curfew.

Ji Xinxue didn't hear the sound for a long time, she quietly raised her head and glanced, not knowing whether it was good luck or bad luck, she met King Jia's eyes again.

Jia Dynasty stretched out his hand to Ji Xinxue, pushed Ji Xinxue's neck to 'carry' Ji Xinxue in front of him, looked at Ji Xinxue carefully from top to bottom, and then looked up at He Shilang, who was looking at the setting sun. He yawned, and said lazily, "You still have to go to the Ninth Brother's place to announce the decree, so Xiao Wang won't stay any longer. In the future, Xiao Wang will invite guests to celebrate today's happy event. I hope you don't refuse."

He Shilang was silent for a moment, his numb face immediately showed a smile as if he saw his ancestors, and after reassuring that the Ministry of Rites would never miss anyone when the King Jia's Mansion held a banquet, he immediately turned around and walked out of the mansion with big strides, as if there was someone behind him. Chasing wolves, tigers and leopards.

Obtaining King Jia's order, Ji Xinxue and Si Niangzi, who accompanied him to see off the guests, also stopped in their tracks when they heard King Jia's undisguised sneer, and looked up at the official from the Ministry of Rites who had already trotted away and disappeared from their sight.

King Jia suddenly raised his hand and tore Jasmine off Ji Xinxue's head, who had lost her energy, and threw it on the ground, saying bluntly, "No hairpins are allowed, it's even uglier."

Ji Xinxue stretched out her hand to press the dull aching scalp.

Sure enough, King Jia messed up his hair bun with neither light nor heavy force.

It's not unreasonable for Mrs. Zhong to be just ordinary and beautiful, but she can give birth to a child like Ji Xinxue who looks like a fairy descending from the earth.

Ji Xinxue looked very much like King Jia.

Jiawang loves polo, so he is proficient in riding skills. His broad shoulders and slender posture are graceful, and his delicate appearance makes him look more graceful and luxurious, dazzling like the brightest pearl on the dragon chair.

Ji Xinxue inherited King Jia's appearance and hasn't grown up yet. She is at an age where male and female are indistinguishable, and since she was a child, she learned the graceful manners of a woman from Mrs. Zhong, so she can perfectly disguise herself as a little lady, and she has not been recognized in front of everyone. flaw.

The two pairs of very similar eyes looked at each other again, the upward looking eyes were full of anger and grievance, while the downward looking eyes were full of undisguised disgust, no one planned to look away first.

On the contrary, the fourth lady couldn't bear it, and took the initiative to hold Ji Xinxue's hand, stand between Ji Xinxue and King Jia, and said to Ji Xinxue, "Aye said, how can such a rough and inferior Jasmine be worthy of the palace?" the county magistrate?"

Fourth Lady raised her chin proudly, facing Ji Xinxue who was already nearly a head shorter than her, she could only look at people with lowered eyelids.

Looking at Ji Xinxue from top to bottom, Si Niangzi suddenly felt bored in her heart, and an indescribable anger welled up.

This is her concubine sister, how can she be so poor.

Except for the forbidden step around the waist, which is still noticeable, the bead hairpin on her head and the clothes on her body are not even as good as the old things she gave to the maid.

Impulsively, Si Niangzi said without thinking, "I'll ask someone to send the colorful rose in my yard to you later."

As soon as the words came out, Fourth Lady regretted it.

Last year, Princess Dewan's cousin invited her to have fun on her birthday. She saw that the flowers in Princess Dehui's hairpin were very beautiful. After returning home, she spent a lot of effort and almost used up all her private money to get the colorful cloud rose.

After careful cultivation for more than half a year, there are only six flower buds, and it is the most rare moon white to stone blue gradient among the colorful cloud roses.

She hasn't had a hairpin yet!

Ji Xinxue immediately sensed the remorse in the fourth lady's eyebrows, and she refused empathetically, "Caiyun rose is delicate and delicate, and it may not be able to support it in my place. Fourth sister should keep it."

Things that can make all four ladies feel distressed are definitely not ordinary things.

After hearing Ji Xinxue's words, Si Niangzi made up her mind to give Caiyun Rose to Ji Xinxue.

Caiyun Rose is indeed cherished, but it is just a rarity to Fourth Lady.

There are many treasures in the Four Niangzi's house that are as valuable as Caiyun Rose, or even far above Caiyun Rose.

If she hadn't just offended the princess during that period of time, she wouldn't have spent a lot of private money to find Caiyun rose, and wasted a lot of money for nothing.

Ji Xinxue's words made Si Niangzi think that what she gave out casually might be the most precious thing Ji Xinxue had ever seen since she was a child.

In this way, she can't go back on what she says.

Fourth Lady held Ji Xinxue's other hand in her palm, proudly like a crowing rooster.

"It's just a potted flower, if it's raised to death..." Si Niangzi blinked her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "It's just that this potted flower shouldn't bloom, and it has nothing to do with my sister."

Ji Xinxue was very moved but refused. He has no hobby of growing flowers, so why should he win people's love.

The fourth lady, however, was like a stubborn donkey who hit the south wall and refused to look back, she took Ji Xinxue's hand and was about to go to her yard to fetch flowers, and she couldn't wait for a moment.

When Si Niangzi found out that he couldn't say anything to Ji Xinxue and did it directly, Ji Xinxue realized that he was not as strong as Si Niangzi, and would be dragged away by Si Niangzi even if he tried his best.

In a panic, Ji Xinxue could only hug the pillar beside her to resist Si Niangzi's brute force.

Jia Wang, who had been ignored for a while, narrowed his eyes, wrapped Ji Xinxue's waist and lifted Ji Xinxue in his hands, and said to Si Niangzi, "You keep the pot of colorful roses for yourself, what kind of flower is the ugly thing?"

The fourth lady was stunned, and turned her head to look at Ji Xinxue, who was trapped between her waist and arms by King Jia, and looked innocently at King Jia's disheveled robes. Full of tears, he stomped his feet fiercely, covered his face with the handkerchief on his cuff, turned and ran towards the inner courtyard.

The sound of sobbing was blown into Jiawang and Ji Xinxue's ears along the night wind.

"Aye called me ugly!"

Ji Xinxue blinked her eyes, leaned her back with difficulty, looked sideways at Jia Wang who was staring blankly at Fourth Lady's back, took out a handkerchief to cover the corners of her mouth, gloating.

Live it!
