I was a princess in ancient times

The warbler flies and the grass grows, and it is early summer again.

Emperor Changping, who has been busy with government affairs for several days, seldom slacked off and didn't get up at dawn to go to the martial arts arena.When Song Nian called out in a low voice from outside the bed curtain, he lazily responded.

"Well, did you say yesterday that Baoshan sent someone back with something?"

Song Nian said in a low voice, "Princess Jichang and her son-in-law went to Zhuangzi to play, and found several kinds of mountain treasures and wild game. They specially selected the best ones, and asked the guards to send them back quickly to honor you."

Emperor Changping turned over and continued to lie on the bed, his tone gradually spread into a smile, "She, she hasn't improved after all these years."

As long as he has a guilty conscience, he will try his best to show hospitality to Fengxiang Palace and Tranquility Palace.

Little do they know that such a cover-up method of "no silver here is 300 taels" is easier to be seen through than Ji Mingtong, who is honest and low-key after making mistakes.

Alas, another little fool.

Songnian knew that Emperor Changping didn't need to respond, so he silently stared at the soft shoes under the dragon bed.

Princess Jichang was the youngest child of His Majesty when he was in the residence, and only suffered when the deposed emperor was dying.Not only is her delicate personality exactly the same as that of the much-loved Princess Jinming, but she is also more careless than Princess Jinming who has experienced the haze of the deposed emperor.

Fortunately, His Majesty doesn't care, he is willing to let the little daughter in Qiandi never grow up.No matter what you do wrong, even if you do it knowingly, as long as you are willing to bow your head and admit your mistake, you can be forgiven.

Over the years, the exchanges between the Yu Dynasty and distant countries have become closer and closer.

The number of sea ports has increased from one to nine.

The port of Dongyang was created from scratch, and it took a hundred days to go north to reach a new continent that was inaccessible only by land and different from Dongyang.

There were only two ports of entry in Nanyang in the first year, and now there are as many as sixteen, and the farthest port of entry is more than 300 days and nights away from Yu Dynasty.

The alien races in the grasslands of northern Xinjiang were gradually satisfied with digging coal and oil for the Yu Dynasty in exchange for a steady stream of food and medicine.

Raising cattle and sheep on the grassland like my ancestors, living a life of watching the face of God.It is far better to set up a tent near the North Great Wall, and according to Yuren's request, wash and process wool, cowhide and other things that are most indispensable in northern Xinjiang, in exchange for a stable monthly payment.

Relying on these rewards in exchange for sweat, the tents belonging to the alien race in the grassland gradually turned into houses built of bricks and tiles, and then spread into villages.

They no longer have to worry about sudden bad weather that will destroy their tents.As a result, the old, weak and young people were threatened by diseases, cattle and sheep died in large numbers, and they had to face the tragedy of starvation due to lack of food in winter.

The attraction of the unprecedented comfortable life to the grassland aliens is hard to describe in pale words.

In just ten years, not only the Turkic remnants and Mohe remnants successively established new tribes outside the North Great Wall, completely surrendering to the Yu Dynasty.The old and new Rouran also had serious disagreements over whether to accept Yu Chao's "swallowing" calmly, and the interior was torn apart.

Most of the people moved to the vicinity of the North Great Wall one after another, while a small number of people chose to maintain friendly relations with the Yu Dynasty and continue to wait and see.Only a very small number of Xinrouran people left this vast grassland overnight and moved to other places because of insurmountable timidity and resistance.

In addition, there are also alien races living in more distant places, who rushed to the northern grasslands for thousands of miles in search of stability.

The 36 countries of the Western Regions outside Yumen Pass and the remnants of Tuyuhun also could not refuse the temptation to profit from the Western Regions trade routes of the Yu Dynasty.

It's a pity that their hands were cut off as soon as they became thieves, so they could only offer everything in a humble manner, praying that Yu Chao would let go of the past and leak some meat from the fingers.

Facts have proved that their choice of "giving up sharp minions in exchange for resources" is extremely correct.

The small countries and tribes that did not choose this way had disappeared without a sound before the territory of the Yu Dynasty spread there.

Not only the porcelain, enamel, silk, sweaters, rock sugar and spirits of the Yu Dynasty are deeply loved by foreign countries, and the supply will always exceed the demand.Ji Xinxue carefully selected the scripts and translated them into various languages, which is also easy to sell.

Some civilizations are not as prosperous as the Yu Dynasty and lack festivals. Even because of these scripts, they began to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Qixi Festival with the local Yu Dynasty merchants.

At the same time, the Yu Dynasty was inevitably influenced by foreign cultures due to the endless stream of caravans.

One of the most well-known "rare" is Western Valentine's Day.

Five years ago, Valentine's Day in the West was still a strange, then embarrassing barbarian eccentricity.

Now it is not only widely known, but also seen by noble girls.Even the princess risked being scolded by His Majesty, and purposely made Chang'an earlier, planning to secretly spend Western Valentine's Day with her son-in-law.

It's just that the princess is a little timid, and it's not a holiday yet, and she's already planning ahead to admit her mistake.

Thinking of this, Song Nian burst into laughter.

I don't know if Princess Jichang will find out in the future that the influence of Western Valentine's Day in the Yu Dynasty is increasing year by year because His Highness the Fifth Prince is behind the scenes.

His Majesty is also happy to see this happen.

Just the well-prepared Rose Market and the Chang'an Fireworks Banquet can make the account department account for at least one million taels of silver.

"Forget it, don't worry about her." Emperor Changping lay down for another quarter of an hour, and got up neatly and lifted the bed curtain, "The hare will be sent to the East Palace, and the rest of the wild animals will be boiled while they are fresh to make up for Min Yan."

Two months ago, Ji Minyan's third child was born, a little girl who looked like a miniature version of Ah Bu Han Bing.

Song Nian offered warm water, and signaled with his eyes that Jing Zhe, who heard the movement and brought the palace people in, waited for Emperor Changping to wash up, and went to the small kitchen to order the dishes in person.

Today is Western Valentine's Day, but it is just an ordinary day in the palace.

The new imperial censor begged to see him, and he was still smiling when he entered the door. He walked up to Emperor Changping, and his knee hit the ground without warning, making a very loud sound.

Not only did Songnian and Jingzhe's legs tense, they subconsciously lowered their heads to see if the marble needed to be replaced, Emperor Changping's hand that was about to serve tea was also suspended in the air.

Mo Yao, who entered the door a little later, sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and put his palm on the handle of the knife at his waist, staring deeply at the back of the gray head of Doctor Yu Shi.

Doctor Yu Shi shivered, and the emotions that had been brewing suddenly stagnated.The choked-up sobs in the imagination turned into a narrative that spoke quickly and quickly but lacked emotion.

"Your Majesty, I don't know where Wang Yushi received the news. Three months ago, King Ling secretly bought a small village near Chang'an from Uncle Yangcheng, and specially recorded it under the name of his brother who had already been registered. "

"Huh?" Emperor Changping withdrew his hand, and reconsidered whether to change to another doctor.

Today's doctor censor was able to take the position because of Donggong's strong recommendation.

He is timid, irresponsible, and sometimes winks.

It is all due to the advantage of being able to read among the nobles, and being lucky enough to marry an only daughter with a lot of money as his wife. She doesn't need to be a monster for money, so she can be a transparent person for decades and survive to the third rank.

This kind of "hunt" who can serve as an official for the elderly at any time, was suddenly promoted to the imperial doctor, which not only shocked the courtiers.He himself was also worried about gains and losses because of this, and his gray hair could no longer be found in half a month in just half a month.

However, he did not spend three months, five months or half a year in Yushitai, as the courtiers had guessed, and was dismissed for retirement because he angered Emperor Changping.

He served for six years and survived two batches of censors. He has become the longest-serving imperial envoy in the Changping Dynasty, and he can even be called the confidant of Emperor Changping.

Because whenever there is a censor who is about to make a move and wants to win a "name in history", the doctor censor will conscientiously report to Fengxiang Palace in advance.Even if he is not very smart, he is still his own in Emperor Changping's heart.

Emperor Changping decided to forgive Doctor Yushi for his stupidity just like he did countless times before.

Tsk, it's just that Rencai still likes to act.

According to the old habits, the imperial envoy doctor is "completely" restoring the performance of the little imperial censor and Yuyu when he revealed this matter.

Mo Yao felt that Emperor Changping's mood had returned to calm, and slowly retracted the unsheathed knife, walked to the imperial envoy and stood still.

The imperial envoy focused all his attention on Emperor Changping, but he didn't notice Mo Yao's existence, and he didn't understand where the coolness on his neck came from.

He proficiently investigated his subordinates painstakingly, and was going to tell Changping Emperor unreservedly in advance with his secrets that would shock the court and make him famous.

"In the past three months, many generals who have served in northern Xinjiang have frequently entered and exited Zhuangzi, and privately met with the King Ling who deliberately dressed up and tried to hide his identity and traces. Every few days, suspicious people came in and out with a convoy Zhuangzi."

Emperor Changping raised his eyebrows, surprise appeared in his eyes.

Ever since Ji Xinxue entered the Eastern Palace in good faith, she adopted her second and third children...

Emperor Changping dealt with several batches of people who wanted to provoke Ji Xinxue and Ji Jingyu, and showed Ni Lin generously. It has been a long time since no one dared to trouble Ji Jingyu.

"Wang, Yu, Shi." Fingers tapped on the rosewood tabletop regularly, and the crisp sound seemed to resound in everyone's hearts. The corners of Emperor Changping's eyes gradually rose, but unfortunately the smile didn't reach his eyes, "What else did he find out?"

The imperial envoy recalled Wang Yushi's appearance, and made a heartbroken expression, "The king of Ling conspired..."

Jing Zhe caught a glimpse of the blue veins on the back of Emperor Changping's hand, exchanged glances with Songnian quietly, secretly guessing how many people will be unlucky this time.

Song Nian shook his head, his eyes were filled with displeasure.

The imperial envoy usually reports to the imperial censor, who is eager to be in charge, how to find another way, so it's fine if he doesn't know.It's about the Lingwang, and he dared to fight with yin and yang.

Do you really think that you are the chief official who can sit firmly on the imperial envoy's platform based on your ability?

"Prince Ling actually conspired to spend Western Valentine's Day with the concubine in Zhuangzi!"

The imperial envoy and doctor bowed down.Whether it was a decadent appearance or a hoarse voice, they all expressed their disappointment vividly, "Wang Yushi sneaked into Zhuangzi secretly and found that it was no longer what it looked like when it was in the hands of Uncle Yangcheng, and it was full of unique flowers and plants in northern Xinjiang. .”

The already dull atmosphere in the study was completely frozen.

Emperor Changping suppressed the superficial smile, and stared deeply at the imperial envoy doctor who was entering the play.

Song Nian and Jing Zhe were dazed, and then felt annoyed that they were being teased. The veins that were still on Emperor Changping's hand a moment ago had all turned to their heads.

Even Mo Yao grabbed the handle of the knife again.

It was too noisy, and his saliva sprayed on His Majesty's shoes.

Only the imperial envoy was not affected by the increasingly weird atmosphere, but gradually became better.

Although he had to betray his subordinates in order to survive.So much so that Wang Yushi was very likely to be busy for three months and waste all his efforts, before he could let the courtiers know the hard work he had put in, he even demoted a few ranks and left Yushitai.

But at least he can let His Majesty know what Wang Yushi thinks and what he wants to express.

This can make the doctor's heart feel better, so that he will not be immersed in guilt and cannot extricate himself.

At this moment, he is Wang Yushi, and Wang Yushi is him!

"King Ling is the one who wastes people's wealth first, and after worshiping foreigners and flattering others, he must be severely punished to stop the trend. Please learn from your Majesty."

The imperial envoy stared at Emperor Changping sadly with his red and swollen forehead, and his righteous accusations lingered endlessly.

Mo Yao carefully sniffed the smell in the air, and suspected that the original intention of the imperial envoy was to report that King Ling was collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, intending to rebel.Because he was drunk, he made a slip of the tongue, saying that he was worshiping foreigners.

Emperor Changping closed his eyes, and counted whether there was anyone in the court who could take over the post of Royal Envoy.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the Imperial Envoy walked out of Fengxiang Palace briskly.

Wang Yushi was lucky, His Majesty indicated that he did not need to hinder Wang Yushi from impeaching King Ling.

Although I don't know if Wang Yushi will still be able to stay in Yushitai after tomorrow.At least three months of hard work will not disappear quietly.

He is really a good officer, second only to His Majesty.

The imperial envoy came to the conclusion that he tried his best to endure the complacency that fills his heart, and maintain an inscrutable image.

It's a pity that there is a gully-like gap between the ideal and the reality. He has a ferocious face but he doesn't know it, which frightens the colleagues of Yushitai.Thinking that the imperial envoy doctor is being angry in the palace, and he is full of anger looking for bad luck.

The atmosphere at Yushitai became more and more tense, but Fengxiang Palace had returned to calm.

Emperor Changping ignored Ji Baoshan, and would not be dissatisfied with Ji Jingyu for the same reason.

Unless Ji Jingyu will be embarrassed by the people from Yushitai in tomorrow's court.

He drank the Baihuo tea brought by Song Nian, turned his head to look at Mo Yao who was standing with his sword in his arms, and the confusion in his eyes gradually increased, "Brother, why are you in a bad mood?"

Song Nian and Jing Zhe heard the words and quietly raised their eyelids to observe Mo Yao's expression.

General Mo kept a straight face, how could His Majesty see that he was in a bad mood?

Mo Yao was silent for a while, then said expressionlessly, "Xuanwei wants to go to the rose market and the fireworks feast to watch the excitement."

Obviously there is no emotional ups and downs, but it gives people the illusion of being disheartened.

As an old father, Emperor Changping immediately understood what Mo Yao meant.

Although Mo Yao doesn't like to be lively, he will not refuse to accompany his daughter to see the wonders that Chang'an has never had before.

It's a pity that especially on Western Valentine's Day, Xuanwei has [-] serious concubines, and there are countless confidante to choose from...Anyway, he didn't choose to go out with his old father, otherwise Mo Yao wouldn't have such a gloomy appearance.

Emperor Changping lowered his eyes to suppress the sympathy in his eyes, and immediately had an idea, and said solemnly, "Except for the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, there is no other night market in Chang'an. Only Habayashi Wei is there, so I don't worry. After the sun goes down, You take the Jinwu Guards to make inspections."

He knew that hinting was useless to Mo Yao, so he said bluntly, "Maybe we will meet Xuan Wei."

With the Jinwu Guards around, as long as Mo Yao has the heart, he will definitely be able to meet by chance.

Mo Yao held the long knife tightly in silence, instead of being comforted, he became even more depressed, and the look on his brows could not be concealed.

Emperor Changping had never seen Mo Yao look so unpromising, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Even though he is the same old father, he is different from Mo Yao.

Without Xuanwei, Mo Yao immediately became alone.

However, Ji Baoshan secretly went out to celebrate the festival, and Ji Jingyu also put all his thoughts on the princess, but it only made Emperor Changping smile.

He also has other cotton jackets and trousers.

Ji Minyan arrived at Fengxiang Palace as scheduled at [-]:[-] a.m. Chen Shi.

As more and more strangers rush to the northern Xinjiang grassland, every two years, the rules of the northern Xinjiang market will be adjusted according to the situation of the grassland.

Ji Xinxue had too many things to worry about, and she really couldn't spare the energy to do it herself.He can only propose a general direction according to his ideas, and then give it to Ji Minyan, who has been to the northern Xinjiang many times to sit in town, to complete the specific details.

Emperor Changping listened patiently to Ji Minyan's explanation of thoughts, and accurately found out the neglected points.

Ji Minyan was not surprised by this. The last time the rules of the northern Xinjiang market were revised, the documents she drafted had to be revised 26 times, and it took [-] days for Emperor Changping to nod.

After a short remorse, she took the documents full of circles and marks and walked to the small table on the east side of the study.Repeatedly pondering the gaps in Changping Emperor's instructions, and listed the ways to change them in turn.

Emperor Changping had taught his daughter, and took advantage of the opportunity to pick up the newly sent booklet from Shangshutai.

The Great Qin envoy has left Yumen Pass, and will arrive in Chang'an in half a month.They not only carried a large amount of gold, silver and precious stones, but also a letter of credence written by the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, as if they wanted to marry the princess of the Yu Dynasty as the queen.

A new gold mine was discovered in Daolai Prefecture, Hedong. After preliminary surveys, it is very likely that it is the largest gold mine in Yu Dynasty so far.The governor had already informed General Wei to send troops to guard the place where the gold mine was found, and he never leaked any news.

The Lord of Dongying secretly offered 20 taels of gold to Qinghe County Palace.I hope that the Prince of Qinghe County will speak well in front of Emperor Changping and allow Dongying students to study in Chang'an Taixue and Guozijian.

The Nanyang fleet returned to Hong Kong after [-] days. In the far southeastern continent, they exchanged with the locals a plant that was brought to the local area from a more distant place.Born under the soil, it can be eaten as a staple food.Fly in the ointment, usually non-toxic, occasionally poisonous, it is still impossible to sum up the law.Your Majesty please give him a name.

……

It wasn't until he heard Song Nian's voice reminding him to eat that Emperor Changping realized that it was time for lunch before he knew it.

He got up and moved his stiff shoulders and neck, and rebuked casually, "Why didn't you remind me earlier, Min Yan's body is weak and she can't be hungry."

However, looking around, there was no sign of Ji Minyan at all.

Song Nian's explanation sounded at the right time, "Princess Huai'an is worried about the little princess and has already returned home."

Emperor Changping raised his brows high, turned his head abruptly, and met Mo Yao's unclear gaze.

It was not malicious, but it made Emperor Changping extremely uncomfortable.

It's like... the loyal big dog suddenly has bad intentions and wants to see the master's jokes.

This thought only existed for a moment and then completely dissipated. Emperor Changping couldn't help laughing, and asked back, "How about the little princess, what did the imperial doctor say?"

Jing Zhe spoke nonsense without changing his face, "Princess Huai'an and her son-in-law have already sent the little Princess to the East Palace, and they plan to go to the Rose Market to seek medicine."

Songnian seized the moment when Emperor Changping was stunned, and explained the whole story of the riddle in time.

When Emperor Changping was obsessed with government affairs, Abhan Bing came to look for Ji Minyan, and the two exchanged a few words in the courtyard before suddenly embracing.

Then Ji Minyan used the excuse of worrying about her daughter, blushed and left Fengxiang Palace with Abu Hanbing.At some point on her head, there was an extra exotic flower hairpin that was made of excellent materials but whose carving was hard to describe.

Knowing that Ji Baoshan sneaked out of Chang'an to celebrate Valentine's Day with his son-in-law, Emperor Changping didn't care.

Hearing the report from the imperial envoy doctor, the imperial censor Can Ji Jingyu was adoring foreigners and spent a lot of trouble spending Western Valentine's Day with the princess, but Emperor Changping didn't take it seriously.

At this time, knowing that Ji Minyan also ran away halfway, and even sent his two-month-old daughter to the East Palace, Emperor Changping's mood became subtle.

He put it down to surprise.

In terms of stability, even Ji Xinxue doesn't have to surpass Ji Minyan.

Ji Xinxue, who likes new things, is still busy with government affairs in the East Palace, but Ji Minyan is easily tricked away by her son-in-law... It can be seen that Ah Buhanbing is too leisurely, and even has time to learn jade carving behind Ji Minyan's back.

You should arrange more errands for him.

Emperor Changping came to a conclusion.

It is logical to interpret the discomfort in her heart as the fact that her daughter is so busy that she even needs to go out to relax and relieve the pressure, while the son-in-law has time to play with jade stones.

He arranged in his mind the errands that would make Ah Buhan Bing as busy as Ji Minyan, and decided to go to the East Palace to take care of his busy son and daughter-in-law.

"Go to the small kitchen and send a message that the nourishment cooked by Min Yan will be sent to the East Palace."

Emperor Changping quickly looked through the rest of the papers, and after confirming that there was no urgent government affairs to be dealt with, he took Mo Yao and the palace people carrying food boxes, and headed for the East Palace in a mighty manner.

The son and daughter-in-law have been closed in the East Palace for many days due to their busy government affairs, and they should go out to relax and see if the rose market and fireworks banquet have met their expectations.

According to Ji Xinxue, in order to impress the subjects of Chang'an, there are many Western toys that have never been circulated among the people in the Rose Market, which can just kill the time waiting for the dark.

Walking on the road, Mo Yao, who was silently following Emperor Changping, suddenly asked, "Will your Highness and the county king also think about Western Valentine's Day?"

Song Nian and Jing Zhe stopped walking tacitly after hearing the words.

Great General Mo, crowned Chang'an bravely.

Emperor Changping signaled Mo Yao to walk by his side, and said with a smile, "Will it be Western Valentine's Day to go to the rose market and fireworks feast?"

He is not about to take Xiaowu and Fenglang to the fresh festival for foreigners.

"It doesn't count." Frustration appeared again between Mo Yao's brows, and his usual calm tone was inexplicably full of teeth gnashing, "Xuanwei told me that only when there are two people can it be considered Valentine's Day."

When Emperor Changping heard the words, he could already imagine how disgusted Mo Yao would be with Princess Xuanwei.

Sympathy appeared in his eyes again, and he patiently explained, "When Jian Jia came to Fengxiang Palace yesterday to say hello, she sent a message for Xiao Wu. It will take three days for him and Feng Lang to sort out all the details of changing the school system. With their nature, it is not finished yet. Before you concentrate on something, you will never be distracted and pay attention to side details."

Although the rose market and fireworks banquet were prepared by Ji Xinxue, they were handed over to others half a month ago.For Ji Xinxue, it is no longer the most important thing, not even the second most important thing.

Even Min Yan, who has always been prudent, will be tempted by Abu Hanbing's temptation when she has something to do.He personally went to the East Palace to take Xiao Wu and Feng Lang out to play, not to mention how the mature and prudent Feng Lang would react, Xiao Wu who likes to be lively would definitely be pleasantly surprised.

Thinking of this, Emperor Changping quickened his pace again.

Mo Yao stared blankly at the inadvertent satisfaction in the corners of Emperor Changping's eyes and eyebrows, and silently increased his grip on the knife.

He couldn't distinguish in detail the complex lingering in his heart, which were composed of emotions, he only knew that it was sour and astringent from the tip of his tongue to his throat.
