I was a princess in ancient times

Zhang Bai, a scholar from Zuochunfang of Zhan Shifu who was on duty, rushed to the gate of the palace, and greeted Emperor Changping, who was already close in front of him, and saluted respectfully, "I send my regards to Your Majesty."

Emperor Changping nodded amiably, passed Xueshi Zhang, and walked to the study along the unfamiliar but familiar corridor.

The layout of the East Palace is almost exactly the same as that of Fengxiang Palace. There are two extra courtyards on the left and right, which are the residences of the prince's wives and concubines.Because Ji Xinxue only had Yu Heng, the courtyard on the left was used to house their adopted children.The courtyard on the right is the place where close officials such as Li Jinhuan, Zhang Siyi, Lin Wei, Yan Meng and his wife, officials of the East Palace, etc. occasionally stayed.

Emperor Changping was well versed in the minds of emperors, and would make Songnian or Jingzhe come to the East Palace to call for others, and would not easily step into the East Palace, so as not to affect the absolute majesty of his beloved son in the East Palace.

This time, the decision was made on the spur of the moment, and it had nothing to do with political affairs, so it was an exception.

Zhang Xueshi hastily followed Songnian and Jingzhe, he calmly adjusted and was about to gasp uncontrollably, but he couldn't hide the anxiety in his eyes.

Although it was His Majesty who came to the Eastern Palace in person without warning, the two His Majesties, as sons of man, should welcome them outside the door no matter what.

Even if it's too late to get to the gate of the East Palace, it's fine to wait in the yard for Shengjia.

However, as far as the eye could see, there were only palace people kneeling neatly in the courtyard and the officials of the Eastern Palace who rushed over like Bachelor Zhang.

Emperor Changping didn't care about such trivial matters, which made Xueshi Zhang sweat profusely.

He still remembered that this trip was to surprise his son rather than frighten him, so he calmly stopped three steps away from the closed door, lest he accidentally hear any embarrassing sounds.

Mo Yao and Song Nian stepped forward at the same time, because they were closer to Emperor Changping, they walked to the door first, raised their hands and knocked on the door, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is outside the door."

There was silence in the room, and there was no response at all.

Emperor Changping raised his brows, and the relaxed smile in his eyes gradually froze.

Mo Yao listened intently for a moment, then looked back at Emperor Changping, "There is no one inside."

The sharp phoenix eyes melted in an instant, and Emperor Changping raised the corners of his mouth and asked casually, "Where are Xiaowu and Fenglang?"

As long as it's not in broad daylight, doing strange things in the study, not even being able to respond decently, and being bumped into by him, it doesn't matter where you do it.

Even if they were messing around in the bedroom, he could just find an excuse to wait for someone in the side hall to avoid embarrassment.

Zhang Xueshi raised his head quietly and looked around blankly.

When he was on duty early in the morning, Qingzhu, the regular attendant in the East Palace, specially instructed him to stop all the people who came to see him.The two Highnesses are busy with government affairs, and have no time to attend to other matters for at least two days.If there is an important matter that cannot be delayed, it will be sent to Princess Huai'an Mansion for Princess Huai'an to decide, or sent to Fengxiang Palace.

Even though Princess Huai'an and the son-in-law sent the little Princess, the two Highnesses were not disturbed, and they were directly carried by Qingzhu to the residence of Ji Yueqing, the eldest daughter of the East Palace.

How could it be possible that the two Highnesses, who are so absorbed in government affairs, are not in the study?

Is there something unexpected?

The strange silence gradually spread, whether it was the servants of the East Palace who came to kneel in the corner one after another, or the palace people who had been in the courtyard for a long time, remained silent.Occasionally, a bold person quietly raises his head and looks around while he has no eyes on his body, his eyes are full of doubts and urging.

His Majesty is asking questions.

Who knows the answer, and still hasn't opened his mouth, is it possible that he is waiting for His Majesty to ask?

Emperor Changping walked to Mo Yao's side in silence, pushed open the closed door of the study without hesitation, gnashed his teeth with a tolerant voice drifting behind him, "Go and call A Xue and Feng Lang over."

Forget it, he didn't want to know where and what those two brats were doing, which made it so difficult for the East Palace to tell their whereabouts.

As long as they can over a cup of tea...

Hesitation flashed across Emperor Changping's deep brows, and the decision that had not been made had quietly changed.

Within two quarters of an hour, a well-dressed man with the same face appeared in front of him, forgetting the past.

The movement of the main hall spread throughout the East Palace at the fastest speed.

More and more officials, guards and palace people of the East Palace joined the ranks of looking for the princess and Lord Donglin.

The courtyard where the study is located is still so silent that people dare not even breathe, but the sound in the place separated by the wall is getting louder and louder, which is disturbing for no reason.

Emperor Changping's complexion also changed with the changes of the first two, the sharp eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate flesh and blood, slowly circulated on the confidant who followed the study.

Song Nian and Jing Zhe lowered their heads tacitly, cursing themselves for not being able to hold their breath.

They should be door gods outside!

Only Mo Yao felt Emperor Changping's gaze, not only didn't his back get chills, he felt uncomfortable.The spirit that had been sluggish all morning showed signs of cheering up.

He looked back at Emperor Changping with burning eyes, "Perhaps His Highness is celebrating Western Valentine's Day."

The same is true for Xuanwei, who has been thinking about Western Valentine's Day since yesterday.

After perfunctory breakfast, she couldn't wait to go out to find her confidant, and even complained that he happened to take a rest yesterday, and today she had breakfast in the mansion before entering the palace.

If it wasn't for having breakfast with him, she could have taken her blue-faced bosom friend to a hot spring village in the suburbs of Beijing last night. Today is Valentine's Day when she opens her eyes, and she won't waste any time.

Cracks appeared on Emperor Changping's cold face, and he looked at Mo Yao in disbelief.

His great general has learned to use his brain unknowingly.

Guessing that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng haven't shown up so far, even the people in the East Palace feel strange, most likely because they don't want to be disturbed, they are secretly hiding somewhere to 'play around'.

pity……

Emperor Changping sighed faintly, and turned his head to look at the empty door.

Although I learned to use my brain, I didn't fully learn it.

This kind of words will only be embarrassing, and people who really use their brains will never speak.

Mo Yao took half a step forward, and the gemstone tassel hanging from the golden knife in his arms almost stuck to Emperor Changping's ear.

"Your Majesty, let the Jinwu Guard check the door, maybe you can find His Highness faster."

Emperor Changping raised his head and looked up at Mo Yao's expressionless face, "Are you happy?"

Not long ago, Song Nian and Jing Zhe told him that when Min Yan was deceived by Ah Bu Han Bing's inferior carver Jade Flower, Mo Jie also had this strange expression on his face.

Like... schadenfreude.

The sound of approaching footsteps caught the eyes of Emperor Changping and Mo Yao, and also broke the suddenly unpredictable atmosphere between them.

Ji Yueqing walked in the front with the little girl who was still in her infancy, and then the little girl who was caught in the middle by two young gentlemen.

The imperial majesty between Emperor Changping's brows turned into kindness in an instant, and he beckoned affectionately, "Jian Jia, come here, let me see if Xin'er has become beautiful again."

The little girl in the swaddling baby is the youngest daughter of Ji Minyan and Abu Hanbing.

Other people's children, if they are not ugly when they are born, they will become more and more beautiful.If it wasn't for being just born, it looks better and won't change.

This little girl, who looked very much like Ah Bu Han Bing in terms of facial features and complexion, was born far beyond the standard of good looks.In just a few days, the eyebrows and the corners of the eyes became more stretched, and the skin color changed from light red to white, and it became more beautiful visible to the naked eye, leaving no room for others to survive.

Ji Yueqing walked to the side of Emperor Changping according to her words, and the two gentlemen and girls behind her were also very familiar with Emperor Changping, and immediately occupied all the remaining vacant seats, calling 'Grandfather' affectionately.

They are Ji Minyan's second son, Ji Jingyu's second son and Ji Baoshan's second daughter, and they are now the children of Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng.After she was three years old, she moved to the Eastern Palace to live with her older brothers and sisters.

"Grandfather, are you here to comfort Eldest Sister? Eldest Sister was told to cry by the young teacher the day before yesterday. He always bullies Eldest Sister. Can someone else be Eldest Sister's teacher?"

"Young master is so shameless. She is several times the age of the elder sister. She has the nerve to ridicule the elder sister who has not read as many books as him. If the elder sister has already read more books than him, what's the use of him?"

"Look at my little girl! She's smiling, smiling!"

"It must be because I saw the imperial grandfather! I shook the rattle in front of her for half a quarter of an hour, and she didn't even bother to move her eyes. As long as Aye, uncle, or imperial grandfather appeared, she would laugh non-stop. Aye said it was called 'Color control', she only likes good-looking people."

"Ah, ah ah!"

……

Including Ji Minyan's youngest daughter, the five juniors surrounded Emperor Changping scrambling to express their ideas, instantly turning the study into a mountain of flowers and fruits.

Emperor Changping could still smile, stretched out his fingers with great interest to catch the little girl's gaze, and patiently discerned what the grandsons were talking about, Ji Yueqing had already closed his eyes peacefully.

At this time, she will miss her twin brother who has been able to calm down and study.

I should have known... No, I can't think about it.

She is a gentleman and wants a promise.

No, can, repent, regret!

Even though she already understood that her mother and father would only have twin brothers, besides the second, third and fourth younger brothers, Aye and father would have five, six, seven, eight, and nine in the future.

I can only hate when I was young and ignorant, and take it as a warning.

When the surrounding 'monkey boys' yelled sorely and automatically stopped their voices, Emperor Changping smiled and opened his mouth.

He said to Ji Yueqing, "Let me discuss with Xiaowu, can I change your teacher?"

Ji Yueqing opened her eyes, and besides the eternal silence, there was only the indifference of a wise man, "No need for now, I can still learn something from him."

Even a person with little knowledge and self-will can be seen by the imperial grandfather and Aye, who think he has irreplaceable value.

Without understanding the foundation of this person, she can still endure this dirty 'nine chains'.

Emperor Changping's expression was subtle for a moment, he didn't know whether to sympathize with the little fools around him who were vying to complain for the eldest sister, or sympathize with the young master who thought that he had defeated the pride of the eldest daughter of the East Palace and would convince her sooner or later.

He lightly rubbed Ji Yueqing's forehead, and asked softly, "Do you want to study in Taixue?"

At Ji Yueqing's age, he should have gone to Imperial Academy long ago.

However, because of the changes made by the Twelve Princes, Taixue has yet to recover, and Emperor Changping and Ji Xinxue can't bear to waste Ji Yueqing's talent.So he deliberately left Ji Yueqing in the East Palace first, and hired a famous teacher to enlighten him.

They have deeper expectations for Ji Yueqing, but they will not make a decision now, and they will not deprive Ji Yueqing of the fun of being a teenager.

Ji Yueqing's eyes instantly changed from calm to bright, and the small canine teeth on the corners of his lips were faintly visible, "Think!"

Aye said that the masters of Taixue have their own stories, and they can also let the masters accompany her to play house.

For example, imitating the reception of envoys, the market in northern Xinjiang, the operation of mines... Aye and her father also promised her that they would personally write every script for her.

The young gentlemen and young girls who were looking forward to Emperor Changping were easier to coax. Emperor Changping just took out the fructose made by the imperial chef in the small kitchen from his wide sleeves, and he easily made them smile.

Not only the cubs were satisfied and showed genuine smiles, but the anger accumulated in Emperor Changping's heart also dissipated silently.For the sake of the children, we should also save some face for the father.

He put his arms around the little man beside him, and said with a smile, "Come with me for some lunch, and when it gets dark, I'll take you out of the palace to visit the rose market and watch the fireworks feast."

Except for the little girl who was still in her infancy, Ji Yueqing, who was smart and prudent, and the three heads who were holding Emperor Changping all showed surprise.

"Really?"

Emperor Changping couldn't help laughing, "What do you say?"

He never lied to children.

Emperor Changping was finally willing to say the word 'true' under the begging of everyone who was almost begging.

He decided to let go of the two little bastards who caused his blood pressure to rise sharply without showing up, got up and walked to the side hall where he had dinner, and said with a smile, "Dinner first, and then leave the palace after Xiao Wu and Feng Lang finish their work."

Since there are children interceding, as long as Xiao Wu and Feng Lang can show up decently before the sun goes down, he will generously forgive them for not doing their jobs in the daytime...!

Ji Yueqing's footsteps paused a bit, guilt appeared between her brows, and her voice became smaller and smaller, "Aye and Daddy have already left the palace."

Before Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng left the palace, she personally instructed her to

If people want to see them, just find a reason to perfunctory.

If Emperor Changping wants to see them, he can try to struggle a bit, and don't play off.If you find something wrong, tell the truth immediately.

Thinking of the glimpse in the morning light, Ji Yueqing's eyes will still be amazed.

She subconsciously looked up at Emperor Changping, and followed the instinct of a small animal to take a half step back.

When Emperor Changping saw this, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on his face, "When did they leave the palace?"

Ji Yueqing's eyes wandered, and he said with difficulty, "Maoshi."

Wherever there are Jinwu Guards, there is no secret to Emperor Changping.

Lying is useless.

Emperor Changping was so angry that he almost laughed out loud.

The palace gate opens at Maoshi, and they go out at Maoshi.He wanted to find a reason for them to act impromptu, they couldn't even open their mouths, and they would feel like a poor blind man.

He pondered for a moment, bypassed Ji Yueqing and went to the book case, looking through the neatly arranged documents.

Change the basic direction and specific details of the school system.

The scope and feasible reasons for investment promotion and road construction.

Phased results of copper wire and magnet experiments.

……

The slender fingers slid across the places where the princess's private seal was placed one by one, and the expressionless face gradually appeared ferocious.

It takes three busy days behind closed doors to completely perfect the plan for the reform of the educational system?

There are still two days before the three-day period, not only the documents for changing the school system have been sorted out, but many of them are just things in Ji Xinxue's plan, and they have been completed in sevens and eighties, only the final summary is missing.

However, no matter whether these things are in the mouth of Ji Xinxue or Yu Heng, they are only in the plan, and there is no characterization, so they need to be carefully considered.

Oh, not only two little bastards, but also two little liars!

Half a month ago, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng stayed behind closed doors in the East Palace for two days on the grounds of taking stock of their tax books for the past two years.

Two months ago, they stayed behind closed doors for five days. The reason for refusing all interviews was to check the roster of the Ministry of War in private.

Four months ago, the business tax was adjusted, and the East Palace was in charge of the implementation plan of each yamen. The two unfilial sons stayed behind closed doors for three days.Ji Yueqing, the eldest daughter of the East Palace, came forward and declined all those who asked to see her.

……

Pile and pile of unremarkable old events rushed to my mind.

Ji Yueqing felt that something was wrong, but she didn't back down.

She turned her head to look at the boy standing at the door, trying to draw strength from those eyes that never seemed to fluctuate.He bravely walked up to Emperor Changping, grabbed the wide sleeves embroidered with dragon patterns, and said timidly, "Grandfather, I'm hungry, and my brothers and sisters are also hungry. Let's go eat."

Standing hand in hand at the same place, Wutoushen and Santoushen had already had their lunch, and of course they were not hungry, but they wanted to have dinner with Emperor Changping.Hearing Ji Yueqing's words, he immediately responded softly and crisply, and looked at Emperor Changping longingly.

Emperor Changping smiled, put down the last document in a good manner, and walked out following Ji Yueqing's strength.

Like to work secretly?

OK, satisfy them.

Mo Yao, who had been observing Emperor Changping silently for a long time, suddenly felt that he was also a fallen man in Tianya.

He wanted to watch the fun with Xuan Wei, but Xuan Wei didn't want him.

His Majesty wanted to take the two Highnesses out to play, but the two Highnesses sneaked out early.

"What?" Emperor Changping looked at Mo Yao warily.

The familiar feeling of something wrong came again.

He didn't understand, it was just a Western Valentine's Day, and he was 'abandoned' by his daughter, why did his temperament change so drastically?

Mo Yao contemplated for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he clumsily and sincerely said words of comfort.

"Your Majesty may meet two His Highnesses at the Rose Market."

Emperor Changping paused a little.

Not long ago, he comforted Mo Yao in the same way.

So...is this ridicule or sympathy?

Ji Yueqing, who was already behind, also stopped. She looked at Huo Xuyang beside her with a pale face, and the amazement in her eyes in the morning light turned into fright.

Is it possible for the imperial grandfather to meet Aye at the rose market?

She must be dreaming.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to hear such terrifying ghost stories!

Huo Xuyang looked down at the whitish fingertips on his wrist.

He doesn't hurt, and he doesn't feel well.

I was worried that the little girl would hurt her nails due to too much force, and worried that if I took her hand away, I would hurt her because of the huge force that I still couldn't fully control.

In desperation, he could only gently cover the tight catkin with his other hand, trying to reassure her in this way.

"I'll send someone to wait for His Highness at the entrance of the Rose Market, and remind His Highness to change clothes."
