I was a princess in ancient times
Chapter 22
Although King Jia wasn't very good-tempered, he was rarely so angry.
Not only Ji Xinxue and Si Niangzi were frightened and stood obediently where they were, they only dared to look at King Jia and Ji Jingyu out of the corner of their eyes.The eldest lady and the third lady who sat on the other side of King Jia stood up and listened to the training when King Jia scolded Mr. Erlang for not taking responsibility.
Even if the masters were like this, the servants knelt all over the ground, wishing to minimize their presence.
In the silence, the sound of the fat of the barbecue being swallowed by the flames was particularly obvious, making people anxious for no reason.
Ji Xinxue could already hear his and Fourth Lady's stomachs protesting one after another.
After a while, King Jia took a deep breath and said slowly, "Go back to your residence and reflect, lest everyone lose their good mood."
As if being pardoned, Ji Jingyu kowtowed solemnly before leaving with the help of a servant who trotted to her side.
When Ji Xinxue quietly raised her eyes to look at the barbecue, out of the corner of her eye, she just saw Jiawang's eyebrows raised, showing signs of anger again.
Fortunately, until Ji Jingyu left completely, King Jia didn't speak again.
"Come and sit, let's continue to barbecue." King Jia took the brand new dagger from Song Nian, waved to Ji Xinxue and Fourth Lady, and then said to Eldest Lady and Third Lady, "Sit down too, don't let him spoil your interest."
Ji Xinxue and Si Niangzi were really hungry. They sat in the vacated seats of Ji Jingyu, staring eagerly at the barbecue on the flames, completely unable to think about why Mr. Erlang offended King Jia.
Jia Wang, who was still angry, saw that the two children looked like cats with greedy mouths, and the corners of their mouths tightened slightly, so he also put his mind on the barbecue.
Thinking about that evil obstacle that would only make him angry, it's better to feed these two gluttonous cats first.
Although the eldest lady and the third lady intended to liven up the stagnant atmosphere, King Jia did not anger his daughter because of his son, and even acted more kindly than before.But the atmosphere has never been able to be really relaxed and lively. It seems that everyone pretends to be very happy in order to make each other happy.
Until Ji Xinxue and Si Niangzi ate their stomachs round.Open your mouth, "Thanks to Aye's bravery, you have hunted back such a rich variety of prey", shut your mouth, "Aye's barbecue is really unique, we have never eaten such delicious barbecue. It was only then that King Jia smiled, pointed at the two people, and scolded them for flattering to make people happy, but let Songnian go to the warehouse to bring Ji Xinxue and Si Niangzi two boxes of pink pearls to play with. The heads were sent to the eldest lady and the third lady.
The eldest lady was worried about her younger brother who was reprimanded by King Jia, and she felt sorry for the angry King Jia. Seeing that Ji Xinxue and the fourth lady had already eaten, she immediately proposed to leave and let King Jia rest earlier.
King Jia was really not in the mood to gossip, he asked everyone if they were full and let them go.
Since the fourth lady moved out of the main courtyard and had her own courtyard, she never went back to the princess's courtyard to spend the night. When she was afraid, she asked the maid to sleep with her, or went to the next door to find the eldest lady or the third lady.
Among the four, only Ji Xinxue still lives with A Niang, and the direction of returning to the yard is also different from everyone else.
The eldest lady was worried that Ji Xinxue would be afraid to go back to Qixia Courtyard alone, so she deliberately took the third lady and fourth lady to detour to send Ji Xinxue to the gate of Qixia Courtyard, and watched Ji Xinxue enter the door before leaving.
The courtyards of the third lady and the fourth lady are respectively on the left and right of the eldest lady's residence.
King Jia's Mansion is luxurious, King Jia has always been generous to his children, and the courtyards are separated by natural or man-made landscapes.
The eldest lady patiently sent the fourth lady and the third lady back to the residence one by one. She still watched them enter the door before turning and leaving. Instead of going back to her own yard, she went straight to Wangfei's yard.
As soon as she arrived at the gate of the main courtyard, someone greeted her, "Miss, didn't you leave the front courtyard long ago? Why did you come back now? The princess was so anxious that she sent three groups of people to your residence to find someone."
This person is the nanny of the princess and the only person who is still around in the dowry of the princess. Although she is not as useful as Lin Yu and others, she has a deep bond with the concubine and is most trusted by the concubine.
The maid of the eldest lady stopped Wang Momo who was blocking the way of the eldest lady, and said in a low voice, "The eldest lady took the little ladies back to the residence, and it took some time. I was afraid that the princess would come here immediately before she had time to go back to the residence to rest." Tell me, Mammy feels sorry for the eldest lady."
Wang Momo pushed away the eldest lady's maid, trotted to catch up with the striding eldest lady, and complained endlessly, "You know that the princess is waiting anxiously, why do you bother with those irrelevant people, and bring the fourth lady directly to the princess... ..."
'Snapped! '
Wang Momo covered the left half of her face in disbelief, she was so surprised that she couldn't even speak.
The eldest lady is only 12 years old, and she has never slapped someone in the face. The force she used on Nanny Wang's face is not too strong, and the pain in her hand may not be less than the pain in Nanny Wang's face.
But after she saw Wang Momo's unbelievable expression, because she saw her younger brother and father's dispute but was helpless, the anxiety and depression that had been suffocating in her heart were finally relieved.
The younger brother is young, the father is wise, but the mother has soft ears and is always influenced by these slaves. If she is the father, she must drive these slaves far away, so that she can never see them again.
Angry, the eldest lady patched up the right half of Wang Momo's face who was stunned in place, then turned indifferently, and continued to walk towards the brightly lit place.
It wasn't until the eldest lady walked away that Wang Momo realized what happened to her belatedly, and suddenly felt her whole face was hot. It wasn't that the eldest lady beat her too hard, but because she was beaten in front of all the servants in the yard. The little master slapped himself.
Thinking of her conscientious work for the princess all these years, even ignoring her own children for the sake of the princess, in exchange for her little master's public humiliation for no reason, Wang Momo felt sad and went back to her room wiping her tears.
Why is the princess smart and easy-going and kind, but the little man and the ladies don't learn half of the princess?
Ji Xinxue didn't know anything about what happened in the main courtyard, he was sitting outside the east wing of Qixia courtyard, listening to the servant Song Nian had chosen for him describe vividly the process of King Jia's fury.
It was a coincidence that after Songnian told Bijuan and Qingyun not to ask Ji Xinxue to wake up, he took Dongyue and Layue away and asked them to move some things.
Dongyue is already 15 years old and can no longer enter and leave Qixia Courtyard at will. Layue is only ten years old and there are not so many rules. At this time, Layue is talking to Ji Xinxue about what happened in the front yard.
It's difficult for him to be alone, but he can imitate the demeanor and tone of everyone in the front yard, and remember what everyone said.
After Si Niangzi and Ji Xinxue left, King Jia also washed up again, changed his riding clothes and put on loose clothes before going to the barbecue place.
Not long after, the eldest lady, Mr. Erlang and the third lady returned to the house, and the front yard was completely lively.
Layue was taken away by Songnian, who was responsible for putting charcoal into the flame.
First, the eldest lady said to King Jia, "I heard that King Li's birthday will be next month, and the elder brother of Prince Li's residence will send out invitations in the Imperial Academy. It seems that besides birthday celebrations, there is also the meaning of celebrating the title of king."
When King Jia heard this, he made no secret of his contempt and ridicule, "I never thought that elder brother would set an example for younger brothers like this."
The third lady answered, "I also heard someone talking about the birthday banquet today. It is the county magistrate Ninghe of Prince Zhen's Mansion, and he also said that he would invite everyone from the school to the palace for a banquet."
When Ji Xinxue heard this, she immediately found the point.
It stands to reason that such a happy event as being crowned king should invite in-laws and officials to celebrate.It has been more than half a month since the four princes became kings, but there is still no news that they will hold a banquet in the palace.
The reason for this is very sad.
Emperor Yanguang didn't like the prince and courtiers getting too close.
This 'too close' range depends entirely on Emperor Yanguang's mood.
Among the trifles that Su Xian told Ji Xinxue, the eldest prince, King Li, once appeared at the dinner table where officials from the Ministry of Rituals gathered in private.
The same story happened to King Yi, King Jia, and King Zhen. Even Emperor Yanguang's youngest son, the tenth prince who had not yet been crowned king, had the same experience as his elder brothers.
One can imagine how guarded Emperor Yanguang was against his sons.
The princes are not tough people, the key is that they are very clear that if they dare to be tough, Emperor Yanguang dares to chop down with a big knife. Keep your distance from courtiers.
It's okay to keep other things low-key, but no matter how low-key a big happy event like Feng Wang is, it's a bit unreasonable.Not to mention whether the princes feel uncomfortable.If they were crowned kings quietly, which courtier would still think highly of them?
I wanted to come to the so-called big birthday celebrations at Prince Li's and Prince Zhen's, because I was afraid that they would poke Emperor Yanguang's eyes in the palace by saying that they would hold a banquet for the king, so they used the birthday as a cover.
Otherwise, why have you never seen any prince dare to hold a big birthday in previous years?
King Li's birthday is in the next month, and King Zhen's is in May.
King Yi's birthday is in April?
Ji Xinxue held the teacup tightly in her palm, and decided that King Jia would be angry because of this.
There was no other reason, King Jia's birthday was in the first lunar month, so it had already passed away.
Logically speaking, if the princes were crowned king together regardless of their rank, they should hold banquets in order.
It should be King Li, King Yi, King Jia, and King Zhen. That's why King Jia was still waiting patiently after making a lot of preparations for the banquet.
Who would have imagined that King Li, King Yi and King Zhen would be so cowardly that they would use a birthday banquet as a pretense and not bring King Jia to play.
Even clay figurines would be so angry that they want to take a bath when encountering such things, let alone King Jia who has always been known to be domineering and arrogant.
Ji Xinxue shook her head, wondering why this evil fire burned Ji Jingyu.
Could it be that Ji Jingyu is so stupid that instead of speaking for his father, he speaks for the uncles who bullied him?
Layue continued to think about what happened before, and the process was similar to Ji Xinxue's guess.
After hearing San Niangzi's words, King Jia's expression darkened immediately.
Seeing King Jia's unsightly complexion, the eldest lady figured out the twists and turns, and her pretty face turned pink with anger, saying that the emperor's uncle and the emperor's uncles were deceiving too much.
Both Mr. Erlang and the third lady listened to the explanation of the eldest lady, and then they realized that the so-called birthday banquet was a banquet for the king, and their expressions were not as calm as before.
Instead, King Jia put down the knife to get the secret sauce as if nothing had happened, brushed it evenly on the barbecue, and said to his children, "If you want to be angry, why don't you give Aye an idea, how to repay these people who read to the dog's belly? In it, there is a bastard who doesn't even know the word 'Brothers, Brothers and Brothers'."
The third lady was the most impatient, "They don't care about Aye, and Aye doesn't have to take care of them. We will have a banquet tomorrow... three days later!"
The eldest lady thought for a while, then grabbed the angry younger sister beside her, frowned and said slowly, "What if Aye holds the banquet first and gets beaten up by the emperor's uncles instead? How about..."
"The eldest lady looked into the distance and didn't say a word." Layue was ashamed when she said this, "Maybe the eldest lady's voice was too low, and I couldn't hear it."
Ji Xinxue thought for a while, and felt that it wasn't that La Yue didn't hear clearly, but that the eldest lady really didn't speak.
He thought that the eldest lady was probably pointing in the direction of the palace, tricking King Jia into the palace to file a complaint.
It can only be said that the eldest lady and the third lady are worthy of being the elder sisters of the fourth lady. This sentence, "If you don't let me eat, I will lift the table, everyone don't eat." 'The appearance is exactly the same as domineering.
"It's okay, you continue to talk, I just need to listen to the general idea, so as not to say something wrong in the future, and let Aye and brother think about today's unhappiness again." Ji Xinxue took out a silver peanut from her purse and put it on the table. "I'll bring you and Dongyue to drink tea."
Layue smiled again, thanked her happily, and continued to talk about what happened next.
King Jia didn't comment on the words of the third lady and the eldest lady, but focused on Erlang Jun who had been silent all along, "Jingyu, what do you say?"
Mr. Erlang was silent for a while, until King Jia's patience was about to run out, and then he raised his head and looked directly into King Jia's eyes, "My son thought that the emperor's uncle and the emperor's uncles might not be doing it on purpose, maybe after Uncle Li set a birthday banquet first, Uncle Yi Uncle King He Zhen really didn't think of other ways, so he followed Uncle Li's example, and he didn't intend to deceive Aye."
"Hmph." King Jia stretched out his hand and patted Erlang Jun on the shoulder, seemingly a little unhappy, "You will make excuses for them."
The third lady was so anxious that she tied up her words, "But, in Prince Jia's Mansion, Aye will let them bully you?"
King Jia couldn't deny it, and still stared at Mr. Erlang.
Mr. Erlang was silent for an exceptionally long time this time before he spoke slowly, "I remember that Auntie's birthday is right after Uncle Yi and before Uncle Zhen. Aye can also find other reasons. The Caiyun rose is blooming so well, it is also a good idea to invite guests to enjoy the flowers."
The eldest lady and the third lady looked at each other, they all subconsciously resisted Erlang Jun's idea, but they couldn't say anything to refute for a while.
How in the world could there be such an irrefutable bad idea?
King Jia withdrew his hand on Erlang Jun's shoulder, went to take a knife to prepare a piece of meat, and said with a reproach and a complaint, "Jingyu is young, and Erlang again. Why is he not as vigorous as Min Yan and Jing Rou? You shouldn't have listened to Wang Hao's pleadings and asked you to grow up in her yard until you were eight years old before moving out."
"Then you and Fourth Lady came, and you know the rest." La Yue saluted respectfully.
Ji Xinxue raised her head in a daze.
That's it?
Isn't Jia Wang quite normal?
Not happy anymore, just complaining a few words, what happened to King Jia, isn't it a rare good temper?
At this time, as long as Mr. Erlang or others coax King Jia a few words, King Jia will not be angry.
What did Mr. Erlang say at that time?
Immediately knelt on the ground and apologized respectfully to King Jia.
Then King Jia suddenly became furious, scolding Mr. Erlang for not being responsible, and not as good as Fourth Lady.
There were so many slots, Ji Xinxue could only drink another bowl of Xiaoshi tea, silently remembering that Jia Wang liked hard bones.
He also didn't know that King Jia was Lord Qi Erlang, and he flinched too much from King Li, King Yi, and King Zhen who were bullying King Jia's mansion in groups whether on purpose or not.I'm still even more angry that Mr. Erlang 'didn't take responsibility'.
After thinking about it carefully, Ji Xinxue felt that King Jia was more angry with the latter.
He preferred to believe that King Jia was so angry because he didn't want to see Mr. Erlang deny him so easily.
And Mr. Erlang's reaction was really hurtful.
If King Jia is a father like Emperor Yanguang, or the head of the family who doesn't distinguish between black and white, as long as he is happy, it is understandable for Erlang Jun to be so trembling when facing King Jia.
But Jia Wang was not.
Maybe it's because she drank too much tea before going to bed. Although Ji Xinxue didn't wake up at night, she tossed and turned all night, always half asleep and half awake, and she was particularly sluggish when she woke up in the morning.
When going to school, Dongyue quietly told Ji Xinxue that King Jia had someone ask Mr. Erlang for leave, and Mr. Erlang did not go to the Guozijian for class today.
Maybe it was because of the strong wind and waves, Guozijian Primary School has returned to the atmosphere before Qi Zhu came to school.
Qi Zhu came early, apologized to each student one by one, and gave him a bookmark made by himself.
Yu Heng walked into the school at the last minute, only a little earlier than the lecture doctor.
Seeing the completely withered but still green bookmark on the table, Yu Heng folded the bookmark in half and threw it on the ground.
This time neither Qi Zhu stood up to stop it, nor did anyone else tell the little county king whose intention it was,
After Zhang Siyi pinched out several light blue marks on the fat white palm, she finally mustered up the courage to approach the little prince, and said "I'm sorry" quickly, regardless of whether the little prince could hear it or not, she immediately sat up straight and stared fiercely. The back of Shi Yu's head.
Yu Heng left a word drawn with iron and silver hooks on the blank rice paper.
'read'
I have to say that Dr. Yan is really a very careful teacher. She is afraid that the students will not pay attention to the class and start to talk about what she said the morning before.
Ji Xinxue heard the same content for the third time, and couldn't bear the turbulent sleepiness any longer.
Before seeing Duke Zhou, the last thought was that in Dr. Yan's eyes, he was probably a student like Fourth Lady who didn't like to study.
After sleeping for an exceptionally long time, Ji Xinxue opened his eyes and found that he could not understand what Dr. Yan was talking about.
He lazily flipped through the book for a long time, only to find what Dr. Yan was talking about five pages later, and he fell into shock.
Is this really the speed that Dr. Yan can have?
Or is he actually dreaming, and now he is still awake in the Qixia Courtyard of the Wangfu.
Before Ji Xinxue could come up with a result, the morning class was completely over.
Only then did Ji Xinxue know that he didn't sleep in one class, but slept through both morning classes.
Watching Dr. Yan disappear at the door, Ji Xinxue began to think about how to spend her lunch break when she was doomed not to sleep.
Before he could figure it out, a man in a fancy dress came in from outside, and it turned out to be Mr. Erlang who was asking for leave.
"Brother!" Ji Xinxue was surprised, and immediately cheered up and waved to Mr. Erlang.
Other people who were sitting or standing talking looked at the door one after another. Even Yu Heng, who had already walked in front of Ji Jingyu, stopped after hearing Ji Xinxue's words, and stepped back, letting Ji Jingyu go first.
Ji Jingyu stopped at the same spot, looking at the crowd with a smile on his face, "My father is very happy to be crowned king, and he will hold a banquet in the palace in five days. I would like to invite you all to show respect."
Not to mention the others who had never heard of it, even Ji Xinxue who had learned from La Yue the reason for King Jia's anger yesterday was stunned.
On the contrary, Yu Heng, who is usually indifferent to these matters, reacted the fastest, and said to Ji Jingyu, "Congratulations, King Jia, Xiao Wang will definitely come as scheduled."
"At that time, I will personally meet my cousin at the door." Ji Jingyu said in an intimate tone, "Xinxue is young and ignorant, and Mingtong next door only knows how to play around. If they behave inappropriately and accidentally offend my cousin, you can still Cousin, please take pity on them when they are young, don’t care about them, just come and tell cousin, and cousin will teach them for you.”
Yu Heng has heard many people say similar things to him. Those people's eyes are full of vigilance and defense, or the insinuations in their words make people extremely uncomfortable.There has never been anyone like Ji Jingyu, who has a natural and intimate attitude.
Ji Jingyu was also the first clan to call him cousin.
Princess Xianglin hardly had any contact with the clan during her lifetime. After her death, Yu Heng first kept filial piety for half a year, and then recuperated for half a year.
For more than half a year after that, he occasionally saw the clan around the British Duke or the British Duke's son, whether they were elders or peers, they all politely and distantly called him 'Little County King'.
Knowing that what Ji Jingyu said was just polite words, it was impossible to punish anyone for him, but because Ji Jingyu was Ji Xinxue's elder brother, and because of the novelty that Ji Jingyu brought him, Yu Heng was very fond of Ji Jingyu. Have a good impression.
Yu Heng looked up at Ji Jingyu, and said very seriously, "Master Ningshu is fine."
Xuanming County Lord has never seen it.
Ji Jingyu smiled, not caring that Yu Heng was only talking about Ji Xinxue.
The others recovered from their stupefaction after listening to the conversation between the two, and rushed to speak auspicious words.
Ji Jingyu greeted everyone with a gentle and patient attitude. At the end, she always mentioned that Ji Xinxue was young, so please bear with me.
There is no one in the school who is completely short-sighted. Hearing this, he immediately began to praise Ji Xinxue, wishing to praise Ji Xinxue so that there is nothing in the sky.
Ji Xinxue stood next to Ji Jingyu with a smile on her face, listening to Ji Jingyu asking everyone to take care of her, her heart felt so warm.
The smile on Ji Xinxue's face gradually subsided until everyone began to praise him in different ways and their words became more and more out of bounds.He turned his head and said to Ji Jingyu, "Brother, shall we go and have dinner with Sister A? She... was in a bad mood yesterday, so you will definitely make her happy if you go to have lunch with her."
Let those who watched Si Niangzi's excitement in Hanmeiyuan know that besides Aye, Si Niangzi also has a brother.
This was the first time Ji Xinxue made a request to Ji Jingyu, and Ji Jingyu agreed without hesitation.
The task that King Jia gave to Ji Jingyu was to inform all the students of Guozijian Primary School, Guozixue and Taixue about the upcoming banquet at Prince Jia's Mansion, and then personally deliver invitations to the clansmen and Duke Xungui's Mansion.
It's a pity that he went out late, and it happened to be stuck at this time, only Hanmeiyuan was left.
You can neither visit other people's homes at noon, nor send invitations to the courtyard where the students of Hanmei Academy take a nap, so you can have dinner with your fourth and fifth younger sisters.
When Ji Jingyu left with Ji Xinxue, he saw the little county king who was still standing at the door, stopped and asked, "Cousin, do you want to come together?"
Yu Heng was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "I still have something to do in my yard."
He didn't lie, he wanted to completely fence off his yard today, and build the fence after two months when the ground was ready to break ground.
Ji Jingyu didn't force her when she heard the words, and said to Yu Heng, "Five days later, I will wait for my cousin at the palace."
Yu Heng nodded, and stood there looking at Ji Jingyu and Ji Xinxue's figures completely blurred.
"Little Prince!" Zhang Siyi appeared behind Yu Heng with downcast eyelashes, and said cautiously, "My family said that they would bring me fresh river prawns today, can I invite you to come to my small courtyard to enjoy it together?"
Fresh river prawns at the end of February can be considered a rarity in Hanzhuyuan.
In order to make amends to Yu Heng, Zhang Siyi specially begged his grandfather to find these fresh river prawns for him. The price is that he must memorize two big books within two months.
Yu Heng refused without hesitation, "Thank you, you keep it."
Before Zhang Siyi mustered up the courage to say more words to persuade her to stay, Yu Heng had already walked away.
"If the little prince doesn't eat it, I'll eat it!" Li Jinhuan grabbed Zhang Siyi's shoulders and said shyly, "Brother, this time you treat me to river prawns, and next time I will treat you to fresh lychees."
Shi Yu lazily raised his hand, "Although I don't have any fresh lychees, I can beg my father to get some live sea fish."
Qi Zhu, who was watching the excitement, said with a smile, "I brewed a few jars of good wine last year according to the brewing recipe left by my ancestors. I wonder if I can catch the eyes of my brothers."
Zhang Siyi was already sad for being rejected, but she felt even worse after listening to everyone's words. She pushed Li Jinhuan away who was leaning on his shoulder, turned her head and ran out of the school, "I'm so annoying!"
Li Jinhuan who was pushed away turned his head and looked at Shi Yu.
After two breaths, the whole school was full of exaggerated laughter from the two gloating.
"No, I have to ask him to give me a river prawn to eat today." Li Jinhuan rolled up his sleeves and vowed to fight the river prawn to the end.
Not to be outdone, Shi Yu replied, "The king of the small county won't eat it, so it's not a waste if we eat it."
The two looked at each other and smiled again, and happily went to play Qiufeng.
When he got to the door, Li Jinhuan suddenly looked back at Qi Zhu.
Qi Zhu, who was just following along to join in the fun, was still sitting in his seat, not at all embarrassed by being left behind by Li Jinhuan and Shi Yu, seeing Li Jinhuan turning his head, he even smiled at Li Jinhuan.
Li Jinhuan gritted his back teeth silently, thinking that after all, the river prawns were leftovers if Zhang Siyi wanted to invite the little county king, and if the little county king didn't want it.With the tense relationship between King Xiaojun and Qi Zhu, if the king of Xiaojun knew that the shrimp he didn't want was cheaper than Qi Zhu, he would probably get angry again, and Zhang Siyi would be out of character.After all, he still didn't ask Qi Zhu to follow, and turned his head cruelly.
After Qi Zhu watched Li Jinhuan and Shi Yu leave, he walked out of the school slowly.
The schoolboys in Hanzhuyuan who didn't have Xiaoyuzhu all circled around Xiaojun Wang, and no one paid any attention to him, but he was not in a hurry.
What he wants is a right-hand man, not someone who waits on him to wash and run errands for him.
Now, he had to figure out where the things he put in the yard were thrown by the little princess.
There are things Li Niangzi sewed for him by herself, and he has to find them.
Li Jinhuan and Shi Yu swaggered into Zhang Siyi's small courtyard, and went straight to the dining table like hungry tigers.
Zhang Siyi's expression was much better than when she was rejected by the Xiaojun Wang, and she was even in the mood to greet the two people who came to eat free food, "You are here."
"Don't be depressed." Li Jinhuan sat down with a big horse and a golden knife, "The king of the small county is used to being alone, and it's normal for him to refuse to show his face easily. From now on, we will have a barbecue in the yard every half a month, soft and hard. Go ask the little county king, if it really doesn't work, then ask Ningshu county magistrate to say something nice for us, the little county king will appreciate it sooner or later."
Shi Yu nodded again and again, "Is there a saying like that?"
"King Lie is afraid of pestering him!" Li Jinhuan clapped his hands and rushed to answer.
Shi Yu was shocked, and suddenly forgot what he was going to say.
Zhang Siyi was amused by the two people and laughed out loud, "Forget it, let's eat first, and talk about other things later."
Li Jinhuan and Shi Yu nodded again and again, and immediately picked up their chopsticks and went straight to the river shrimp after the servants of Zhang's mansion cleaned their hands.
No, what about river prawns?
The two raised their heads and looked at Zhang Siyi blankly.
Zhang Siyi personally used the serving chopsticks to put the six river prawns on the middle plate into the bottom of the bowls in front of the three of them, "Hurry up, don't be polite to me."
"Only six?" Li Jinhuan confirmed with Zhang Siyi in disbelief, "No, even if you bring this thing home, you may not be able to live until the evening, so why not let's eat it fresh."
Shi Yu thought of another possibility, "Could it be that there are only six live prawns left? It's a good thing that the little county king didn't come to eat prawns with you."
The smile on the corner of Zhang Siyi's mouth gradually brightened, "I only leave six pieces of fresh river prawns for you to taste, and the rest of the river prawns were sent to the residence of the Xiaojun Wang, and the Xiaojun Wang accepted them."
Li Jinhuan and Shi Yu looked at each other and had nothing to say, they could only vent their regret of missing the fresh river prawns on the cooked ones, and undressed the river prawns themselves.
Fortunately, Zhang Siyi had already ordered good food from the restaurant, so Li Jinhuan and Shi Yu would not be hungry.
The three of them were eating happily when they suddenly saw Yu Heng's book boy, Zi Zhu, coming over with a food box.
Zhang Siyi's cheeks that had just turned rosy turned pale again, looking pitifully at the food box in Zizhu's hand.
Maybe Xiaojun Wang asked someone to cook the fresh river prawns and send them back.
Li Jinhuan and Shi Yu also thought of this possibility, and looked at the food box in Zizhu's hand with complicated expressions.
Thinking of Zhang Siyi's various reactions when he saw the river prawns in the food box, both Li Jinhuan and Shi Yu felt that there was a cactus growing under their buttocks, and they wished they could run away immediately.
Zi Zhu placed the food box on the table with both hands, making a 'bang' sound.
He smiled shyly, and said to Zhang Siyi, "The king of the small county appreciates the deliciousness of the river shrimp you sent, and asked me to send you some lake crabs brought back from the fief."
After finishing speaking, Zizhu opened the food box, revealing the red crab shell inside.
"The king of Xiaojun said, 'It's a pity that it's not the time to eat crabs. These crabs are just big and not fat.' Please don't mind." Zizhu brought out the steaming crabs from the food box and put them on the table. The three-layer food box can fit six crabs.
Li Jinhuan and Shi Yu, who were thinking about how to propose to run away so as not to embarrass Zhang Siyi, suddenly felt that the cactus under their buttocks had turned into a paste, and stared at the big jade-like crab on the table with burning eyes.
They did not come in vain today!
When Zizhu left Zhang Siyi's residence, she vaguely heard a very intense 'praise' sound coming from behind her.He nodded in satisfaction, the king of the small county knew Zhang Langjun's joy after receiving the big crab, and he would definitely be happy too.
Si Niangzi was very happy to see Ji Jingyu and Ji Xinxue coming to her. She still remembered the incident yesterday when King Jia was angry with Ji Jingyu, and asked Ji Jingyu carefully if it was important.
Ji Jingyu touched Si Niangzi's bun gently, and straightened the crooked silk flowers around Si Niangzi's ears, "Aye has already punished me, and when I finish my punishment, this matter will be over."
Si Niangzi pestered Ji Jingyu again and asked how King Jia punished him.
Hearing that King Jia's punishment is to ask Ji Jingyu to inform all the students of Guozijian Primary School, Guozixue and Taixue that there will be a banquet in King Jia's mansion, and then personally send invitations to the clansmen and Duke Xungui's mansion, Fourth Lady Envy flashed in his eyes, and he shook Ji Jingyu's arm coquettishly, "Brother, take me with you this afternoon, okay? I haven't been to play outside of the palace and the Imperial College for a long time."
Ji Jingyu couldn't laugh or cry immediately.
He is willing to help the fourth lady, but he is just waiting for punishment, so it is not appropriate to take the fourth lady around.
Ji Xinxue grabbed Si Niangzi's wrist, imitating Si Niangzi's tone of acting coquettishly, "Sister, I'm hungry, let's go eat first, shall we?"
He himself felt good and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but Fourth Lady's face was dull and she couldn't recover for a long time.
Help, how could Ah Xue imitate her tone of voice with a face so similar to Aye's.
It felt like... Aye himself was acting like a baby to her.
Si Niangzi shivered from the stimulation of her brain, grabbed Ji Xinxue's hand and ran to the restaurant in Hanmeiyuan, never mentioning Ji Jingyu taking her out of the Imperial College.
After returning home from school, Ji Xinxue and Si Niangzi were called to the main courtyard by Nanny Wang who was guarding the gate of the palace.
It was only then that Ji Xinxue, who had never participated in a banquet, realized that the palace's banquet was far more complicated than he imagined.
Not only he and Si Niangzi were arrested to make up lessons in the main courtyard of the princess, but the two Ruren and Miss Zhong who usually only lived in their own yard were also assigned tasks by the princess.
In this way, four full days passed from making up lessons in the princess's yard to the third watch every day, and finally made it to the day of the official banquet.
When it was still daylight, Qingyun woke Ji Xinxue up, and dressed Ji Xinxue up with the clothes and accessories that Su Xian had chosen in advance.
Bijuan was sent by Ji Xinxue to Mrs. Zhong to help her, in case Mrs. Zhong hadn't socialized for many years and suddenly appeared on such a grand occasion and made a mistake in her busy schedule.
It was already half an hour after the whole outfit was finished.Only Ji Xinxue behaved dignifiedly so that she would not be stumbled by the heavy decoration on her head and neck and the hem of the skirt that was almost dragging on the ground.
It is impossible to hold a banquet for only one day for such a happy event to invite guests for the title of king.
For banquets in the palace, officials are required to bring only their wives and limit the number of children, but the palace banquets are always open to visitors. Visitors are not afraid of attracting attention, and even relatives from afar can be brought.
Chang'an officials all came with their families, not to mention whether the palace can take care of it, the most important thing is that the palace really can't accommodate so many people.
Today is the first day of the banquet, and it is also the most important day. Only the clan and nobles with titles and their families are invited.
On the second day, senior officials and family members of the third rank and above are invited.
On the third day, please invite officials and family members of the sixth grade or above.
From the fourth day onwards, three-day banquets will be held inside and outside the mansion, and anyone who speaks auspicious words at the gate of the mansion can eat the banquet at the mansion.Ordinary people eat outside the mansion, while officials and their families eat in the garden inside the mansion.
On the seventh day, the palace held a banquet behind closed doors, and the servants in the palace changed shifts to go to the garden to have a feast of flowing water and enjoy themselves with their masters.
King Jia and Princess Wang had to preside over the overall situation in the front yard and the back yard respectively, unless someone who was both the patriarch and the elder like King Qinghe came, they would not easily appear at the door.
It was basically the children of King Jia who greeted the guests at the gate of the palace.
Except Ji Baoshan, who is only two years old, no one can escape.
As the sun rises, the palace opens its doors to welcome guests.
The convoy that had been lining up in front of the palace gate since no one knew when finally started to move slowly.
Looking at the motorcade that could not see the end, the fourth lady raised her chest proudly, and firmly held Ji Xinxue's hand, her sparkling eyes seemed to be able to speak.
The first carriage smashed through the fog and appeared in front of everyone.
Wearing a brocade-colored robe, the Prince of England personally handed over the greeting card, and said in a loud voice, "The Duke of England has come to congratulate His Majesty."
When Ji Xinxue received Ji Jingyu's gaze, she immediately broke away from Fourth Lady's hand, followed behind Ji Jingyu, and took the initiative to meet her.
There are five carriages in the British government alone, not including the gentleman and the lady who came on horseback.
The British male has gray hair at the temples, but his eyes are still clear and bright, and his back is extremely strong. No one who sees such a British male will doubt that the British male is "whether he can still eat".
This time he came to the palace for a banquet, besides the legitimate son, the Duke of England also brought the bastard.
Ji Xinxue hurriedly scanned these people, and could only recognize who was the heir of the Duke of England, but did not guess who was the second son of the Duke of England.
Compared with the almost perfect eyebrows of the little princess, the other males of the Duke of England are a bit ordinary.
Standing among these people, Qi Zhu can be called handsome.
Ji Xinxue suddenly became curious about Yu Heng and Qi Zhu's father,
Not only Ji Xinxue and Si Niangzi were frightened and stood obediently where they were, they only dared to look at King Jia and Ji Jingyu out of the corner of their eyes.The eldest lady and the third lady who sat on the other side of King Jia stood up and listened to the training when King Jia scolded Mr. Erlang for not taking responsibility.
Even if the masters were like this, the servants knelt all over the ground, wishing to minimize their presence.
In the silence, the sound of the fat of the barbecue being swallowed by the flames was particularly obvious, making people anxious for no reason.
Ji Xinxue could already hear his and Fourth Lady's stomachs protesting one after another.
After a while, King Jia took a deep breath and said slowly, "Go back to your residence and reflect, lest everyone lose their good mood."
As if being pardoned, Ji Jingyu kowtowed solemnly before leaving with the help of a servant who trotted to her side.
When Ji Xinxue quietly raised her eyes to look at the barbecue, out of the corner of her eye, she just saw Jiawang's eyebrows raised, showing signs of anger again.
Fortunately, until Ji Jingyu left completely, King Jia didn't speak again.
"Come and sit, let's continue to barbecue." King Jia took the brand new dagger from Song Nian, waved to Ji Xinxue and Fourth Lady, and then said to Eldest Lady and Third Lady, "Sit down too, don't let him spoil your interest."
Ji Xinxue and Si Niangzi were really hungry. They sat in the vacated seats of Ji Jingyu, staring eagerly at the barbecue on the flames, completely unable to think about why Mr. Erlang offended King Jia.
Jia Wang, who was still angry, saw that the two children looked like cats with greedy mouths, and the corners of their mouths tightened slightly, so he also put his mind on the barbecue.
Thinking about that evil obstacle that would only make him angry, it's better to feed these two gluttonous cats first.
Although the eldest lady and the third lady intended to liven up the stagnant atmosphere, King Jia did not anger his daughter because of his son, and even acted more kindly than before.But the atmosphere has never been able to be really relaxed and lively. It seems that everyone pretends to be very happy in order to make each other happy.
Until Ji Xinxue and Si Niangzi ate their stomachs round.Open your mouth, "Thanks to Aye's bravery, you have hunted back such a rich variety of prey", shut your mouth, "Aye's barbecue is really unique, we have never eaten such delicious barbecue. It was only then that King Jia smiled, pointed at the two people, and scolded them for flattering to make people happy, but let Songnian go to the warehouse to bring Ji Xinxue and Si Niangzi two boxes of pink pearls to play with. The heads were sent to the eldest lady and the third lady.
The eldest lady was worried about her younger brother who was reprimanded by King Jia, and she felt sorry for the angry King Jia. Seeing that Ji Xinxue and the fourth lady had already eaten, she immediately proposed to leave and let King Jia rest earlier.
King Jia was really not in the mood to gossip, he asked everyone if they were full and let them go.
Since the fourth lady moved out of the main courtyard and had her own courtyard, she never went back to the princess's courtyard to spend the night. When she was afraid, she asked the maid to sleep with her, or went to the next door to find the eldest lady or the third lady.
Among the four, only Ji Xinxue still lives with A Niang, and the direction of returning to the yard is also different from everyone else.
The eldest lady was worried that Ji Xinxue would be afraid to go back to Qixia Courtyard alone, so she deliberately took the third lady and fourth lady to detour to send Ji Xinxue to the gate of Qixia Courtyard, and watched Ji Xinxue enter the door before leaving.
The courtyards of the third lady and the fourth lady are respectively on the left and right of the eldest lady's residence.
King Jia's Mansion is luxurious, King Jia has always been generous to his children, and the courtyards are separated by natural or man-made landscapes.
The eldest lady patiently sent the fourth lady and the third lady back to the residence one by one. She still watched them enter the door before turning and leaving. Instead of going back to her own yard, she went straight to Wangfei's yard.
As soon as she arrived at the gate of the main courtyard, someone greeted her, "Miss, didn't you leave the front courtyard long ago? Why did you come back now? The princess was so anxious that she sent three groups of people to your residence to find someone."
This person is the nanny of the princess and the only person who is still around in the dowry of the princess. Although she is not as useful as Lin Yu and others, she has a deep bond with the concubine and is most trusted by the concubine.
The maid of the eldest lady stopped Wang Momo who was blocking the way of the eldest lady, and said in a low voice, "The eldest lady took the little ladies back to the residence, and it took some time. I was afraid that the princess would come here immediately before she had time to go back to the residence to rest." Tell me, Mammy feels sorry for the eldest lady."
Wang Momo pushed away the eldest lady's maid, trotted to catch up with the striding eldest lady, and complained endlessly, "You know that the princess is waiting anxiously, why do you bother with those irrelevant people, and bring the fourth lady directly to the princess... ..."
'Snapped! '
Wang Momo covered the left half of her face in disbelief, she was so surprised that she couldn't even speak.
The eldest lady is only 12 years old, and she has never slapped someone in the face. The force she used on Nanny Wang's face is not too strong, and the pain in her hand may not be less than the pain in Nanny Wang's face.
But after she saw Wang Momo's unbelievable expression, because she saw her younger brother and father's dispute but was helpless, the anxiety and depression that had been suffocating in her heart were finally relieved.
The younger brother is young, the father is wise, but the mother has soft ears and is always influenced by these slaves. If she is the father, she must drive these slaves far away, so that she can never see them again.
Angry, the eldest lady patched up the right half of Wang Momo's face who was stunned in place, then turned indifferently, and continued to walk towards the brightly lit place.
It wasn't until the eldest lady walked away that Wang Momo realized what happened to her belatedly, and suddenly felt her whole face was hot. It wasn't that the eldest lady beat her too hard, but because she was beaten in front of all the servants in the yard. The little master slapped himself.
Thinking of her conscientious work for the princess all these years, even ignoring her own children for the sake of the princess, in exchange for her little master's public humiliation for no reason, Wang Momo felt sad and went back to her room wiping her tears.
Why is the princess smart and easy-going and kind, but the little man and the ladies don't learn half of the princess?
Ji Xinxue didn't know anything about what happened in the main courtyard, he was sitting outside the east wing of Qixia courtyard, listening to the servant Song Nian had chosen for him describe vividly the process of King Jia's fury.
It was a coincidence that after Songnian told Bijuan and Qingyun not to ask Ji Xinxue to wake up, he took Dongyue and Layue away and asked them to move some things.
Dongyue is already 15 years old and can no longer enter and leave Qixia Courtyard at will. Layue is only ten years old and there are not so many rules. At this time, Layue is talking to Ji Xinxue about what happened in the front yard.
It's difficult for him to be alone, but he can imitate the demeanor and tone of everyone in the front yard, and remember what everyone said.
After Si Niangzi and Ji Xinxue left, King Jia also washed up again, changed his riding clothes and put on loose clothes before going to the barbecue place.
Not long after, the eldest lady, Mr. Erlang and the third lady returned to the house, and the front yard was completely lively.
Layue was taken away by Songnian, who was responsible for putting charcoal into the flame.
First, the eldest lady said to King Jia, "I heard that King Li's birthday will be next month, and the elder brother of Prince Li's residence will send out invitations in the Imperial Academy. It seems that besides birthday celebrations, there is also the meaning of celebrating the title of king."
When King Jia heard this, he made no secret of his contempt and ridicule, "I never thought that elder brother would set an example for younger brothers like this."
The third lady answered, "I also heard someone talking about the birthday banquet today. It is the county magistrate Ninghe of Prince Zhen's Mansion, and he also said that he would invite everyone from the school to the palace for a banquet."
When Ji Xinxue heard this, she immediately found the point.
It stands to reason that such a happy event as being crowned king should invite in-laws and officials to celebrate.It has been more than half a month since the four princes became kings, but there is still no news that they will hold a banquet in the palace.
The reason for this is very sad.
Emperor Yanguang didn't like the prince and courtiers getting too close.
This 'too close' range depends entirely on Emperor Yanguang's mood.
Among the trifles that Su Xian told Ji Xinxue, the eldest prince, King Li, once appeared at the dinner table where officials from the Ministry of Rituals gathered in private.
The same story happened to King Yi, King Jia, and King Zhen. Even Emperor Yanguang's youngest son, the tenth prince who had not yet been crowned king, had the same experience as his elder brothers.
One can imagine how guarded Emperor Yanguang was against his sons.
The princes are not tough people, the key is that they are very clear that if they dare to be tough, Emperor Yanguang dares to chop down with a big knife. Keep your distance from courtiers.
It's okay to keep other things low-key, but no matter how low-key a big happy event like Feng Wang is, it's a bit unreasonable.Not to mention whether the princes feel uncomfortable.If they were crowned kings quietly, which courtier would still think highly of them?
I wanted to come to the so-called big birthday celebrations at Prince Li's and Prince Zhen's, because I was afraid that they would poke Emperor Yanguang's eyes in the palace by saying that they would hold a banquet for the king, so they used the birthday as a cover.
Otherwise, why have you never seen any prince dare to hold a big birthday in previous years?
King Li's birthday is in the next month, and King Zhen's is in May.
King Yi's birthday is in April?
Ji Xinxue held the teacup tightly in her palm, and decided that King Jia would be angry because of this.
There was no other reason, King Jia's birthday was in the first lunar month, so it had already passed away.
Logically speaking, if the princes were crowned king together regardless of their rank, they should hold banquets in order.
It should be King Li, King Yi, King Jia, and King Zhen. That's why King Jia was still waiting patiently after making a lot of preparations for the banquet.
Who would have imagined that King Li, King Yi and King Zhen would be so cowardly that they would use a birthday banquet as a pretense and not bring King Jia to play.
Even clay figurines would be so angry that they want to take a bath when encountering such things, let alone King Jia who has always been known to be domineering and arrogant.
Ji Xinxue shook her head, wondering why this evil fire burned Ji Jingyu.
Could it be that Ji Jingyu is so stupid that instead of speaking for his father, he speaks for the uncles who bullied him?
Layue continued to think about what happened before, and the process was similar to Ji Xinxue's guess.
After hearing San Niangzi's words, King Jia's expression darkened immediately.
Seeing King Jia's unsightly complexion, the eldest lady figured out the twists and turns, and her pretty face turned pink with anger, saying that the emperor's uncle and the emperor's uncles were deceiving too much.
Both Mr. Erlang and the third lady listened to the explanation of the eldest lady, and then they realized that the so-called birthday banquet was a banquet for the king, and their expressions were not as calm as before.
Instead, King Jia put down the knife to get the secret sauce as if nothing had happened, brushed it evenly on the barbecue, and said to his children, "If you want to be angry, why don't you give Aye an idea, how to repay these people who read to the dog's belly? In it, there is a bastard who doesn't even know the word 'Brothers, Brothers and Brothers'."
The third lady was the most impatient, "They don't care about Aye, and Aye doesn't have to take care of them. We will have a banquet tomorrow... three days later!"
The eldest lady thought for a while, then grabbed the angry younger sister beside her, frowned and said slowly, "What if Aye holds the banquet first and gets beaten up by the emperor's uncles instead? How about..."
"The eldest lady looked into the distance and didn't say a word." Layue was ashamed when she said this, "Maybe the eldest lady's voice was too low, and I couldn't hear it."
Ji Xinxue thought for a while, and felt that it wasn't that La Yue didn't hear clearly, but that the eldest lady really didn't speak.
He thought that the eldest lady was probably pointing in the direction of the palace, tricking King Jia into the palace to file a complaint.
It can only be said that the eldest lady and the third lady are worthy of being the elder sisters of the fourth lady. This sentence, "If you don't let me eat, I will lift the table, everyone don't eat." 'The appearance is exactly the same as domineering.
"It's okay, you continue to talk, I just need to listen to the general idea, so as not to say something wrong in the future, and let Aye and brother think about today's unhappiness again." Ji Xinxue took out a silver peanut from her purse and put it on the table. "I'll bring you and Dongyue to drink tea."
Layue smiled again, thanked her happily, and continued to talk about what happened next.
King Jia didn't comment on the words of the third lady and the eldest lady, but focused on Erlang Jun who had been silent all along, "Jingyu, what do you say?"
Mr. Erlang was silent for a while, until King Jia's patience was about to run out, and then he raised his head and looked directly into King Jia's eyes, "My son thought that the emperor's uncle and the emperor's uncles might not be doing it on purpose, maybe after Uncle Li set a birthday banquet first, Uncle Yi Uncle King He Zhen really didn't think of other ways, so he followed Uncle Li's example, and he didn't intend to deceive Aye."
"Hmph." King Jia stretched out his hand and patted Erlang Jun on the shoulder, seemingly a little unhappy, "You will make excuses for them."
The third lady was so anxious that she tied up her words, "But, in Prince Jia's Mansion, Aye will let them bully you?"
King Jia couldn't deny it, and still stared at Mr. Erlang.
Mr. Erlang was silent for an exceptionally long time this time before he spoke slowly, "I remember that Auntie's birthday is right after Uncle Yi and before Uncle Zhen. Aye can also find other reasons. The Caiyun rose is blooming so well, it is also a good idea to invite guests to enjoy the flowers."
The eldest lady and the third lady looked at each other, they all subconsciously resisted Erlang Jun's idea, but they couldn't say anything to refute for a while.
How in the world could there be such an irrefutable bad idea?
King Jia withdrew his hand on Erlang Jun's shoulder, went to take a knife to prepare a piece of meat, and said with a reproach and a complaint, "Jingyu is young, and Erlang again. Why is he not as vigorous as Min Yan and Jing Rou? You shouldn't have listened to Wang Hao's pleadings and asked you to grow up in her yard until you were eight years old before moving out."
"Then you and Fourth Lady came, and you know the rest." La Yue saluted respectfully.
Ji Xinxue raised her head in a daze.
That's it?
Isn't Jia Wang quite normal?
Not happy anymore, just complaining a few words, what happened to King Jia, isn't it a rare good temper?
At this time, as long as Mr. Erlang or others coax King Jia a few words, King Jia will not be angry.
What did Mr. Erlang say at that time?
Immediately knelt on the ground and apologized respectfully to King Jia.
Then King Jia suddenly became furious, scolding Mr. Erlang for not being responsible, and not as good as Fourth Lady.
There were so many slots, Ji Xinxue could only drink another bowl of Xiaoshi tea, silently remembering that Jia Wang liked hard bones.
He also didn't know that King Jia was Lord Qi Erlang, and he flinched too much from King Li, King Yi, and King Zhen who were bullying King Jia's mansion in groups whether on purpose or not.I'm still even more angry that Mr. Erlang 'didn't take responsibility'.
After thinking about it carefully, Ji Xinxue felt that King Jia was more angry with the latter.
He preferred to believe that King Jia was so angry because he didn't want to see Mr. Erlang deny him so easily.
And Mr. Erlang's reaction was really hurtful.
If King Jia is a father like Emperor Yanguang, or the head of the family who doesn't distinguish between black and white, as long as he is happy, it is understandable for Erlang Jun to be so trembling when facing King Jia.
But Jia Wang was not.
Maybe it's because she drank too much tea before going to bed. Although Ji Xinxue didn't wake up at night, she tossed and turned all night, always half asleep and half awake, and she was particularly sluggish when she woke up in the morning.
When going to school, Dongyue quietly told Ji Xinxue that King Jia had someone ask Mr. Erlang for leave, and Mr. Erlang did not go to the Guozijian for class today.
Maybe it was because of the strong wind and waves, Guozijian Primary School has returned to the atmosphere before Qi Zhu came to school.
Qi Zhu came early, apologized to each student one by one, and gave him a bookmark made by himself.
Yu Heng walked into the school at the last minute, only a little earlier than the lecture doctor.
Seeing the completely withered but still green bookmark on the table, Yu Heng folded the bookmark in half and threw it on the ground.
This time neither Qi Zhu stood up to stop it, nor did anyone else tell the little county king whose intention it was,
After Zhang Siyi pinched out several light blue marks on the fat white palm, she finally mustered up the courage to approach the little prince, and said "I'm sorry" quickly, regardless of whether the little prince could hear it or not, she immediately sat up straight and stared fiercely. The back of Shi Yu's head.
Yu Heng left a word drawn with iron and silver hooks on the blank rice paper.
'read'
I have to say that Dr. Yan is really a very careful teacher. She is afraid that the students will not pay attention to the class and start to talk about what she said the morning before.
Ji Xinxue heard the same content for the third time, and couldn't bear the turbulent sleepiness any longer.
Before seeing Duke Zhou, the last thought was that in Dr. Yan's eyes, he was probably a student like Fourth Lady who didn't like to study.
After sleeping for an exceptionally long time, Ji Xinxue opened his eyes and found that he could not understand what Dr. Yan was talking about.
He lazily flipped through the book for a long time, only to find what Dr. Yan was talking about five pages later, and he fell into shock.
Is this really the speed that Dr. Yan can have?
Or is he actually dreaming, and now he is still awake in the Qixia Courtyard of the Wangfu.
Before Ji Xinxue could come up with a result, the morning class was completely over.
Only then did Ji Xinxue know that he didn't sleep in one class, but slept through both morning classes.
Watching Dr. Yan disappear at the door, Ji Xinxue began to think about how to spend her lunch break when she was doomed not to sleep.
Before he could figure it out, a man in a fancy dress came in from outside, and it turned out to be Mr. Erlang who was asking for leave.
"Brother!" Ji Xinxue was surprised, and immediately cheered up and waved to Mr. Erlang.
Other people who were sitting or standing talking looked at the door one after another. Even Yu Heng, who had already walked in front of Ji Jingyu, stopped after hearing Ji Xinxue's words, and stepped back, letting Ji Jingyu go first.
Ji Jingyu stopped at the same spot, looking at the crowd with a smile on his face, "My father is very happy to be crowned king, and he will hold a banquet in the palace in five days. I would like to invite you all to show respect."
Not to mention the others who had never heard of it, even Ji Xinxue who had learned from La Yue the reason for King Jia's anger yesterday was stunned.
On the contrary, Yu Heng, who is usually indifferent to these matters, reacted the fastest, and said to Ji Jingyu, "Congratulations, King Jia, Xiao Wang will definitely come as scheduled."
"At that time, I will personally meet my cousin at the door." Ji Jingyu said in an intimate tone, "Xinxue is young and ignorant, and Mingtong next door only knows how to play around. If they behave inappropriately and accidentally offend my cousin, you can still Cousin, please take pity on them when they are young, don’t care about them, just come and tell cousin, and cousin will teach them for you.”
Yu Heng has heard many people say similar things to him. Those people's eyes are full of vigilance and defense, or the insinuations in their words make people extremely uncomfortable.There has never been anyone like Ji Jingyu, who has a natural and intimate attitude.
Ji Jingyu was also the first clan to call him cousin.
Princess Xianglin hardly had any contact with the clan during her lifetime. After her death, Yu Heng first kept filial piety for half a year, and then recuperated for half a year.
For more than half a year after that, he occasionally saw the clan around the British Duke or the British Duke's son, whether they were elders or peers, they all politely and distantly called him 'Little County King'.
Knowing that what Ji Jingyu said was just polite words, it was impossible to punish anyone for him, but because Ji Jingyu was Ji Xinxue's elder brother, and because of the novelty that Ji Jingyu brought him, Yu Heng was very fond of Ji Jingyu. Have a good impression.
Yu Heng looked up at Ji Jingyu, and said very seriously, "Master Ningshu is fine."
Xuanming County Lord has never seen it.
Ji Jingyu smiled, not caring that Yu Heng was only talking about Ji Xinxue.
The others recovered from their stupefaction after listening to the conversation between the two, and rushed to speak auspicious words.
Ji Jingyu greeted everyone with a gentle and patient attitude. At the end, she always mentioned that Ji Xinxue was young, so please bear with me.
There is no one in the school who is completely short-sighted. Hearing this, he immediately began to praise Ji Xinxue, wishing to praise Ji Xinxue so that there is nothing in the sky.
Ji Xinxue stood next to Ji Jingyu with a smile on her face, listening to Ji Jingyu asking everyone to take care of her, her heart felt so warm.
The smile on Ji Xinxue's face gradually subsided until everyone began to praise him in different ways and their words became more and more out of bounds.He turned his head and said to Ji Jingyu, "Brother, shall we go and have dinner with Sister A? She... was in a bad mood yesterday, so you will definitely make her happy if you go to have lunch with her."
Let those who watched Si Niangzi's excitement in Hanmeiyuan know that besides Aye, Si Niangzi also has a brother.
This was the first time Ji Xinxue made a request to Ji Jingyu, and Ji Jingyu agreed without hesitation.
The task that King Jia gave to Ji Jingyu was to inform all the students of Guozijian Primary School, Guozixue and Taixue about the upcoming banquet at Prince Jia's Mansion, and then personally deliver invitations to the clansmen and Duke Xungui's Mansion.
It's a pity that he went out late, and it happened to be stuck at this time, only Hanmeiyuan was left.
You can neither visit other people's homes at noon, nor send invitations to the courtyard where the students of Hanmei Academy take a nap, so you can have dinner with your fourth and fifth younger sisters.
When Ji Jingyu left with Ji Xinxue, he saw the little county king who was still standing at the door, stopped and asked, "Cousin, do you want to come together?"
Yu Heng was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "I still have something to do in my yard."
He didn't lie, he wanted to completely fence off his yard today, and build the fence after two months when the ground was ready to break ground.
Ji Jingyu didn't force her when she heard the words, and said to Yu Heng, "Five days later, I will wait for my cousin at the palace."
Yu Heng nodded, and stood there looking at Ji Jingyu and Ji Xinxue's figures completely blurred.
"Little Prince!" Zhang Siyi appeared behind Yu Heng with downcast eyelashes, and said cautiously, "My family said that they would bring me fresh river prawns today, can I invite you to come to my small courtyard to enjoy it together?"
Fresh river prawns at the end of February can be considered a rarity in Hanzhuyuan.
In order to make amends to Yu Heng, Zhang Siyi specially begged his grandfather to find these fresh river prawns for him. The price is that he must memorize two big books within two months.
Yu Heng refused without hesitation, "Thank you, you keep it."
Before Zhang Siyi mustered up the courage to say more words to persuade her to stay, Yu Heng had already walked away.
"If the little prince doesn't eat it, I'll eat it!" Li Jinhuan grabbed Zhang Siyi's shoulders and said shyly, "Brother, this time you treat me to river prawns, and next time I will treat you to fresh lychees."
Shi Yu lazily raised his hand, "Although I don't have any fresh lychees, I can beg my father to get some live sea fish."
Qi Zhu, who was watching the excitement, said with a smile, "I brewed a few jars of good wine last year according to the brewing recipe left by my ancestors. I wonder if I can catch the eyes of my brothers."
Zhang Siyi was already sad for being rejected, but she felt even worse after listening to everyone's words. She pushed Li Jinhuan away who was leaning on his shoulder, turned her head and ran out of the school, "I'm so annoying!"
Li Jinhuan who was pushed away turned his head and looked at Shi Yu.
After two breaths, the whole school was full of exaggerated laughter from the two gloating.
"No, I have to ask him to give me a river prawn to eat today." Li Jinhuan rolled up his sleeves and vowed to fight the river prawn to the end.
Not to be outdone, Shi Yu replied, "The king of the small county won't eat it, so it's not a waste if we eat it."
The two looked at each other and smiled again, and happily went to play Qiufeng.
When he got to the door, Li Jinhuan suddenly looked back at Qi Zhu.
Qi Zhu, who was just following along to join in the fun, was still sitting in his seat, not at all embarrassed by being left behind by Li Jinhuan and Shi Yu, seeing Li Jinhuan turning his head, he even smiled at Li Jinhuan.
Li Jinhuan gritted his back teeth silently, thinking that after all, the river prawns were leftovers if Zhang Siyi wanted to invite the little county king, and if the little county king didn't want it.With the tense relationship between King Xiaojun and Qi Zhu, if the king of Xiaojun knew that the shrimp he didn't want was cheaper than Qi Zhu, he would probably get angry again, and Zhang Siyi would be out of character.After all, he still didn't ask Qi Zhu to follow, and turned his head cruelly.
After Qi Zhu watched Li Jinhuan and Shi Yu leave, he walked out of the school slowly.
The schoolboys in Hanzhuyuan who didn't have Xiaoyuzhu all circled around Xiaojun Wang, and no one paid any attention to him, but he was not in a hurry.
What he wants is a right-hand man, not someone who waits on him to wash and run errands for him.
Now, he had to figure out where the things he put in the yard were thrown by the little princess.
There are things Li Niangzi sewed for him by herself, and he has to find them.
Li Jinhuan and Shi Yu swaggered into Zhang Siyi's small courtyard, and went straight to the dining table like hungry tigers.
Zhang Siyi's expression was much better than when she was rejected by the Xiaojun Wang, and she was even in the mood to greet the two people who came to eat free food, "You are here."
"Don't be depressed." Li Jinhuan sat down with a big horse and a golden knife, "The king of the small county is used to being alone, and it's normal for him to refuse to show his face easily. From now on, we will have a barbecue in the yard every half a month, soft and hard. Go ask the little county king, if it really doesn't work, then ask Ningshu county magistrate to say something nice for us, the little county king will appreciate it sooner or later."
Shi Yu nodded again and again, "Is there a saying like that?"
"King Lie is afraid of pestering him!" Li Jinhuan clapped his hands and rushed to answer.
Shi Yu was shocked, and suddenly forgot what he was going to say.
Zhang Siyi was amused by the two people and laughed out loud, "Forget it, let's eat first, and talk about other things later."
Li Jinhuan and Shi Yu nodded again and again, and immediately picked up their chopsticks and went straight to the river shrimp after the servants of Zhang's mansion cleaned their hands.
No, what about river prawns?
The two raised their heads and looked at Zhang Siyi blankly.
Zhang Siyi personally used the serving chopsticks to put the six river prawns on the middle plate into the bottom of the bowls in front of the three of them, "Hurry up, don't be polite to me."
"Only six?" Li Jinhuan confirmed with Zhang Siyi in disbelief, "No, even if you bring this thing home, you may not be able to live until the evening, so why not let's eat it fresh."
Shi Yu thought of another possibility, "Could it be that there are only six live prawns left? It's a good thing that the little county king didn't come to eat prawns with you."
The smile on the corner of Zhang Siyi's mouth gradually brightened, "I only leave six pieces of fresh river prawns for you to taste, and the rest of the river prawns were sent to the residence of the Xiaojun Wang, and the Xiaojun Wang accepted them."
Li Jinhuan and Shi Yu looked at each other and had nothing to say, they could only vent their regret of missing the fresh river prawns on the cooked ones, and undressed the river prawns themselves.
Fortunately, Zhang Siyi had already ordered good food from the restaurant, so Li Jinhuan and Shi Yu would not be hungry.
The three of them were eating happily when they suddenly saw Yu Heng's book boy, Zi Zhu, coming over with a food box.
Zhang Siyi's cheeks that had just turned rosy turned pale again, looking pitifully at the food box in Zizhu's hand.
Maybe Xiaojun Wang asked someone to cook the fresh river prawns and send them back.
Li Jinhuan and Shi Yu also thought of this possibility, and looked at the food box in Zizhu's hand with complicated expressions.
Thinking of Zhang Siyi's various reactions when he saw the river prawns in the food box, both Li Jinhuan and Shi Yu felt that there was a cactus growing under their buttocks, and they wished they could run away immediately.
Zi Zhu placed the food box on the table with both hands, making a 'bang' sound.
He smiled shyly, and said to Zhang Siyi, "The king of the small county appreciates the deliciousness of the river shrimp you sent, and asked me to send you some lake crabs brought back from the fief."
After finishing speaking, Zizhu opened the food box, revealing the red crab shell inside.
"The king of Xiaojun said, 'It's a pity that it's not the time to eat crabs. These crabs are just big and not fat.' Please don't mind." Zizhu brought out the steaming crabs from the food box and put them on the table. The three-layer food box can fit six crabs.
Li Jinhuan and Shi Yu, who were thinking about how to propose to run away so as not to embarrass Zhang Siyi, suddenly felt that the cactus under their buttocks had turned into a paste, and stared at the big jade-like crab on the table with burning eyes.
They did not come in vain today!
When Zizhu left Zhang Siyi's residence, she vaguely heard a very intense 'praise' sound coming from behind her.He nodded in satisfaction, the king of the small county knew Zhang Langjun's joy after receiving the big crab, and he would definitely be happy too.
Si Niangzi was very happy to see Ji Jingyu and Ji Xinxue coming to her. She still remembered the incident yesterday when King Jia was angry with Ji Jingyu, and asked Ji Jingyu carefully if it was important.
Ji Jingyu touched Si Niangzi's bun gently, and straightened the crooked silk flowers around Si Niangzi's ears, "Aye has already punished me, and when I finish my punishment, this matter will be over."
Si Niangzi pestered Ji Jingyu again and asked how King Jia punished him.
Hearing that King Jia's punishment is to ask Ji Jingyu to inform all the students of Guozijian Primary School, Guozixue and Taixue that there will be a banquet in King Jia's mansion, and then personally send invitations to the clansmen and Duke Xungui's mansion, Fourth Lady Envy flashed in his eyes, and he shook Ji Jingyu's arm coquettishly, "Brother, take me with you this afternoon, okay? I haven't been to play outside of the palace and the Imperial College for a long time."
Ji Jingyu couldn't laugh or cry immediately.
He is willing to help the fourth lady, but he is just waiting for punishment, so it is not appropriate to take the fourth lady around.
Ji Xinxue grabbed Si Niangzi's wrist, imitating Si Niangzi's tone of acting coquettishly, "Sister, I'm hungry, let's go eat first, shall we?"
He himself felt good and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but Fourth Lady's face was dull and she couldn't recover for a long time.
Help, how could Ah Xue imitate her tone of voice with a face so similar to Aye's.
It felt like... Aye himself was acting like a baby to her.
Si Niangzi shivered from the stimulation of her brain, grabbed Ji Xinxue's hand and ran to the restaurant in Hanmeiyuan, never mentioning Ji Jingyu taking her out of the Imperial College.
After returning home from school, Ji Xinxue and Si Niangzi were called to the main courtyard by Nanny Wang who was guarding the gate of the palace.
It was only then that Ji Xinxue, who had never participated in a banquet, realized that the palace's banquet was far more complicated than he imagined.
Not only he and Si Niangzi were arrested to make up lessons in the main courtyard of the princess, but the two Ruren and Miss Zhong who usually only lived in their own yard were also assigned tasks by the princess.
In this way, four full days passed from making up lessons in the princess's yard to the third watch every day, and finally made it to the day of the official banquet.
When it was still daylight, Qingyun woke Ji Xinxue up, and dressed Ji Xinxue up with the clothes and accessories that Su Xian had chosen in advance.
Bijuan was sent by Ji Xinxue to Mrs. Zhong to help her, in case Mrs. Zhong hadn't socialized for many years and suddenly appeared on such a grand occasion and made a mistake in her busy schedule.
It was already half an hour after the whole outfit was finished.Only Ji Xinxue behaved dignifiedly so that she would not be stumbled by the heavy decoration on her head and neck and the hem of the skirt that was almost dragging on the ground.
It is impossible to hold a banquet for only one day for such a happy event to invite guests for the title of king.
For banquets in the palace, officials are required to bring only their wives and limit the number of children, but the palace banquets are always open to visitors. Visitors are not afraid of attracting attention, and even relatives from afar can be brought.
Chang'an officials all came with their families, not to mention whether the palace can take care of it, the most important thing is that the palace really can't accommodate so many people.
Today is the first day of the banquet, and it is also the most important day. Only the clan and nobles with titles and their families are invited.
On the second day, senior officials and family members of the third rank and above are invited.
On the third day, please invite officials and family members of the sixth grade or above.
From the fourth day onwards, three-day banquets will be held inside and outside the mansion, and anyone who speaks auspicious words at the gate of the mansion can eat the banquet at the mansion.Ordinary people eat outside the mansion, while officials and their families eat in the garden inside the mansion.
On the seventh day, the palace held a banquet behind closed doors, and the servants in the palace changed shifts to go to the garden to have a feast of flowing water and enjoy themselves with their masters.
King Jia and Princess Wang had to preside over the overall situation in the front yard and the back yard respectively, unless someone who was both the patriarch and the elder like King Qinghe came, they would not easily appear at the door.
It was basically the children of King Jia who greeted the guests at the gate of the palace.
Except Ji Baoshan, who is only two years old, no one can escape.
As the sun rises, the palace opens its doors to welcome guests.
The convoy that had been lining up in front of the palace gate since no one knew when finally started to move slowly.
Looking at the motorcade that could not see the end, the fourth lady raised her chest proudly, and firmly held Ji Xinxue's hand, her sparkling eyes seemed to be able to speak.
The first carriage smashed through the fog and appeared in front of everyone.
Wearing a brocade-colored robe, the Prince of England personally handed over the greeting card, and said in a loud voice, "The Duke of England has come to congratulate His Majesty."
When Ji Xinxue received Ji Jingyu's gaze, she immediately broke away from Fourth Lady's hand, followed behind Ji Jingyu, and took the initiative to meet her.
There are five carriages in the British government alone, not including the gentleman and the lady who came on horseback.
The British male has gray hair at the temples, but his eyes are still clear and bright, and his back is extremely strong. No one who sees such a British male will doubt that the British male is "whether he can still eat".
This time he came to the palace for a banquet, besides the legitimate son, the Duke of England also brought the bastard.
Ji Xinxue hurriedly scanned these people, and could only recognize who was the heir of the Duke of England, but did not guess who was the second son of the Duke of England.
Compared with the almost perfect eyebrows of the little princess, the other males of the Duke of England are a bit ordinary.
Standing among these people, Qi Zhu can be called handsome.
Ji Xinxue suddenly became curious about Yu Heng and Qi Zhu's father,
