I was a princess in ancient times

Ji Xinxue suddenly felt embarrassing when another child saw her tricking a child with candy.He subconsciously avoided talking about the questions that made it difficult for him to answer, and only answered the first half of the sentence, "It's my cousin."

"Which cousin?" Yu Heng thought for a while and guessed, "Is it the princess' family?"

During the past few days of recovering from her leg injury, Yu Heng's understanding of Prince Jia's Mansion has skyrocketed.

The concubine was just a daughter of a poor scholar when she married King Jia. After so many years, her natal family still hadn't made a fortune because of having a daughter who was a concubine, and no one had even passed the hurdle of a sixth-rank official.

In this case, the concubine wanted to improve her natal family's status but was reluctant to part with her own daughter, so concubine daughters were the best choice.

Ji Xinxue didn't know it at all, but in the blink of an eye, Yu Heng was completely thinking about it and was running wildly on the road of thinking about it, already thinking about how to get the princess to give up her mind.

He promptly denied Yu Heng's guess, "It's not the cousin of the concubine's natal family, but my aunt's cousin."

Ji Xinxue, who no longer wanted to continue this topic, turned her eyes, and did not give Yu Heng a chance to continue asking. He pointed to the carved wooden box Yu Heng was holding and asked, "What is this?"

But Yu Heng was not fooled, and said to Ji Xinxue earnestly, "Neither the princess's family nor your mother's family are worthy of you, let alone a man who wants your dowry to raise concubines and concubines."

Emperor Yanguang's criteria for selecting wives and concubines for his sons has been the most secretive joke in Chang'an for many years.

Even if Yu Heng is still young and no one has spoken gossip in front of him, he will take it for granted that a girl from the palace cannot marry back to the family of the palace's wives and concubines.

Thinking of Yu Heng's stubborn appearance, Ji Xinxue's head suddenly became dizzy.

"It's not my mother who has the final say on these matters, but I, Aye, have to nod." Ji Xinxue fooled Yu Heng indiscriminately, and then continued to change the subject, "My mother and my family are in my residence. How about going to little grandma's yard, which is the yard you went to after your leg injury last time?"

Yu Heng has already decided in his heart that Ji Xinxue's aunt is going to sell her daughter for her natal family, and she wants Ji Xinxue to have less contact with Mrs. Zhong's natal family.Hearing Ji Xinxue said that she wanted to go to the courtyard with him last time and not go back to accompany her family members, Yu Heng unconsciously raised his heart and suddenly relaxed a little, and there was a smile on his expressionless face, "Okay."

A smile also appeared in Ji Xinxue's eyes.

Although saying this may make Shi Shilang even more sorry, but Xiaojun Wang is really a brother worthy of friendship, at least he has a decent character, and he knows that he is specially reminded that he cannot marry someone who uses his dowry to raise concubines and concubines.

It's a pity that the king of the small county will never know, based on the actual situation between him and Shi Shilang, even if he uses the dowry to give Shi Shi Lang a noble concubine and a concubine, the scumbag is not Shi Shi Lang.

Because of the banquet in the palace, Ji Xinxue had to ask for a leave of absence from the school for seven days. The enlightenment of "Ritual" has ended, and the school is now teaching "Royalty".

Ji Xinxue thought of being able to ride a horse, and her tone was full of anticipation, "Is it strict to teach the doctor "Yu"? If a student like me who has no foundation at all, if he is too stupid, will the doctor dislike him?"

Even if the doctors of Hanzhuyuan don't like him, they won't show their emotions on their faces, but Ji Xinxue still hopes to have a doctor who is kind and easy to talk to.

"Do you have a pony?" Yu Heng asked without answering.

"Huh?" Ji Xinxue turned her head in surprise, "Is there no pony in the school?"

Of course there are ponies in the academy.

Moreover, they are all looking for docile stallions and mares. Only foals that have not lost their temper since birth are eligible to appear in the stables of Hanzhuyuan.

Except for Yu Heng, Li Jinhuan and Qi Zhu, including Shi Yu and Zhang Siyi, they all used the pony provided by the school.

But Yu Heng subconsciously felt that Ji Xinxue should have her own pony.

"What kind of horse do you like?" Yu Heng stopped, "Knowing that I am going to the Imperial College, the fief specially sent five ponies for me to choose, and now there are four left, all of which are raised in the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. "

Ji Xinxue understood Yu Heng's hint, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Since five ponies were sent for Yu Heng to choose, the quality of the ponies would definitely not be too bad. Even if Yu Heng had already picked the best ponies, the remaining ponies would not be worse than Hanzhuyuan's already selected ones. A round of poor pony.

But... the joy in Ji Xinxue's eyes turned into hesitation, "I don't know if Aye has prepared a pony for me."

Judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that King Jia put all his attention on the palace banquet and forgot that he needed a pony.

But it can't be ruled out that King Jia has prepared a pony for him long ago, but he hasn't had time to tell him.

He has two ponies, which may upset the princess.

If the pony that Yu Heng gave him was better than the pony that King Jia found...Ji Xinxue really had no way of guessing how King Jia would react.

Seeing Ji Xinxue's hesitation, Yu Heng immediately said, "You can go to Zhuangzi first to have a look. If there is a pony that suits you, you can bring it back to Chang'an first. It can be raised not only in the palace, but also in the Imperial College. There is a stable in the Lenghui Courtyard."

Yu Heng's words had reached this level, and Ji Xinxue had longed for riding and archery lessons, and it was really hard to refuse the pony's temptation, so she finally nodded.He made an appointment with Yu Heng, and when he returned to school, he would go to Yu Heng's Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing to watch horses.

"Si Niangzi calm down, the princess gave birth to you in October, how could she harm you?"

"Yes, Fourth Lady, come back with us quickly, and apologize to your grandpa and grandma, otherwise the princess will lose face."

……

Suddenly there was a chaotic noise from behind.

Ji Xinxue turned her head abruptly, and the fourth lady who was walking briskly with a calm and pretty face and the chattering servants behind her soon appeared in her sight.

These servants are all very respectable people in the princess's courtyard, and their clothes are obviously different from ordinary servants.

When Ji Xinxue saw Si Niangzi and the servants behind Si Niangzi, these people also saw Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng.

Fourth Lady suddenly raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and rushed towards Ji Xinxue.

Ji Xinxue opened her hand subconsciously, but she saw Wang Momo chasing up to Si Niangzi, strangled Si Niangzi's neck with her arm, covered Si Niangzi's mouth with the other hand, and stared at Ji Xinxue with fierce eyes full of warnings, The fourth lady is about to be forcibly taken back to Wangfei's courtyard.

"What are you doing?" Ji Xinxue asked Nanny Wang in disbelief, but got no response.

As he ran towards Nanny Wang and Fourth Lady, he touched his waist.

It's a pity that he didn't go to school today, and the gold silk soft whip didn't match the clothes on his body, so he didn't touch anything.

Si Niangzi did not expect that she would be treated like this. After a brief moment of stunned, she bit the hand covering her mouth fiercely, and howled extremely sharply, "Help me! There is a slave who wants to kill me!"

Nanny Wang was also anxious and angry.

She saw Ji Xinxue and the gorgeously dressed little man next to Ji Xinxue, and found that the fourth lady who was just unhappy was showing signs of crying. She subconsciously wanted to tell the fourth lady to shut up and stop talking nonsense. Do it directly.

In fact, as soon as she imprisoned Fourth Lady in her arms, she felt regretful.

Seeing Si Niangzi struggling crazily and wishing to invite all the guests from the palace, Wang Momo became even more flustered, and even had the idea of ​​knocking Si Niangzi unconscious and taking her away.

Before Wang Momo could put her new evil thoughts into reality, Ji Xinxue kicked Wang Momo's waist, "Let go!"

Wang Momo wailed, barely able to control the fourth lady who was struggling fiercely in her arms, and quickly gritted her teeth to increase the strength in her hands, and growled, "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and hug Fifth Lady, and bring her back Princess's yard!"

As for the gorgeously dressed man next to Wu Niangzi.He just appeared in the palace today, so he is not someone of high status.Go back and tap it carefully, and then promise some benefits, and you will naturally know what to say and what not to say.

The other people in the concubine's courtyard were shocked by the sudden change, and rushed towards Ji Xinxue as if they had just awakened from a dream after hearing Madam Wang's words.

Ji Xinxue's head hurts from Nanny Wang's stupidity.

When Ji Baoshan ran to the concubine's yard to pester Yu Heng, these idiots didn't know to hug Ji Baoshan away, but now they are thinking about hugging him and Fourth Lady.

Yu Heng who ran over slowly stood in front of Ji Xinxue, "I am the king of Xianglin, who would dare to assassinate the king?"

The servants who were already acting on instinct were immediately frozen in place.

The fifth lady is a concubine of the royal family, no matter how dissatisfied she is with them, it still depends on the face of the princess.

Why is there a county king outside?

Who dares to bear the charge of assassinating the county king, this is a serious crime that the whole family will suffer.

When the guards of the palace arrived, they happened to hear Yu Heng's words, and immediately turned around and ran to the study in the front yard.

So King Jia, who was talking to Zhong Kan in the study, heard the report that 'someone assassinated Xianglin County King in the palace. '

Grandma Wang was completely stunned.

After being slapped twice by the eldest lady in public, she was so sad that she returned to her residence and cried for half a night, and then started to have a fever the next day.So on the first day of the royal banquet, she stayed in her room and did not go out.Although I also heard about the accident that happened in the princess's yard, I didn't see Yu Heng's face.

After the guards of the palace came, the servants in the princess' courtyard dared not move.

Ji Xinxue immediately pounced on Nanny Wang, and kicked Nanny Wang fiercely a few times, only to let Nanny Wang, who was covering Si Niangzi's mouth and nose more and more forcefully before she knew it, let go.

"Sister?" Ji Xinxue pulled Ji Mingtong out of Nanny Wang's arms, saw the flushed handprints on the lower half of Si Niangzi's face, and gasped in distress.

Si Niangzi leaned on Ji Xinxue's shoulder for a while, and her face, which was flushed because of difficulty breathing, gradually became normal.She looked around in a daze, and finally remembered what happened just now when she saw Wang Nai who was sitting on the ground disoriented.

"Her!" Fourth Lady pointed at Wang Momo, so angry that she couldn't speak.

Ji Xinxue hastily stroked Si Niangzi's back from top to bottom, opened her mouth several times but couldn't say any comforting words.

No matter how you look at this matter, Fourth Lady has been greatly wronged.

What Fourth Lady needs now is someone to make decisions for her, not anyone's comfort.

King Jia sent Zhong Kan away and hurried over, seeing the guards of the palace scattered in a large circle, the marks between their brows became more and more serious.

Even though he was outside the crowd, King Jia couldn't wait to ask, "What's going on, how is Xiao Jun Wang, has Xiao Wu been implicated?"

The fourth lady in the crowd heard that King Jia cared about Xiaojun Wang and Xiao Wu, but she didn't know how to care about her. Her grievance and fear came to her heart at the same time, she got up from Ji Xinxue's arms, and ran towards the direction where King Jia's voice came from.

"Aye, they're all fine, only I'm fine!" Fourth Lady ran to King Jia unimpededly, hugged King Jia's waist tightly, and the cries of grievance resounded throughout the world.

King Jia immediately put his arms around Si Niangzi's shoulders, and his eyes quickly swept over the place that was originally blocked by the guards of the palace. Yu Heng was helping Ji Xinxue who was sitting on the ground to get up. Both of them looked fine.

He squatted down with difficulty, wanting to ask Si Niangzi what wronged her, but Si Niangzi was so uncomfortable that she didn't even want to say anything, she hugged King Jia's neck tightly and refused to relax.

When Ji Xinxue saw Queen Jia, she realized that her legs were also a little weak, not because she was afraid, but because she was so angry that she lost her strength.

With Yu Heng's support, he got up from the ground, took a few deep breaths, and then dragged his sore legs, striding forward to King Jia.

"Aye, Nanny Wang almost choked my sister to death." Ji Xinxue paused at least three times after she finished speaking.

"What did you say?" King Jia asked subconsciously.

His ears are very good, but he can't stop wondering if he heard it wrong.

In his palace, someone almost smothered his favorite jewel?

No matter how unbelievable King Jia was, after seeing the flushed handprints on the lower half of Fourth Lady who was finally willing to raise her head, King Jia had to believe in the absurd reality. He heard it right, and Ji Xinxue said it right.

Fourth Lady was really almost smothered to death.

King Jia's chest heaved very obviously, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who moved the hand?"

"Mother Wang"

Ji Xinxue and Si Niangzi spoke at the same time.

Seeing King Jia approaching her angrily, Wang Momo subconsciously defended herself, "This old slave didn't want to suffocate Fourth Lady, this old slave just wanted Fourth Lady to shut up, so as not to misunderstand Princess Wang by saying something out of anger. If so, old slave..."

King Jia kicked Nanny Wang heartily, and drew out the sword of the guards around him to catch up, but was stopped by Song Nian.

"Diao Nu's death is not a pity, don't hurt the eyes of Si Niangzi and Wu Niangzi." Song Nian tightly held King Jia's hand holding the sword.

Nanny Wang was brought back to her senses by the sharp pain in her chest, and only belatedly realized what a big mistake she had made, and her heart was suddenly ashamed.

She knew that King Jia would definitely not be able to tolerate her, and now she could only ask the concubine to intercede for her and not to hurt her family.

Song Nian managed to snatch the sword from King Jia, turned around and told the guards of the palace, telling them what to say and what not to say.

King Jia looked around, his eyes lingering on the trembling servants for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice, "What's going on?"

Fourth Lady stopped crying, and was hugging King Jia's neck tightly, sobbing softly, "Mother..."

Wang Momo, who was lying on the ground waiting to die, tried her best to support her body, her voice was like weeping blood, "Si Niangzi! The princess is also... also, for your own good, you, you can't..."

Songnian pressed Nanny Wang's head until Nanny Wang couldn't speak anymore, and she sat softly on the ground before letting go.

Sensing Ji Xinxue's and Yu Heng's eyes, Songnian deliberately grabbed Wang Nanny's shoulders, making Wang Nanny turn over and lie on the ground.

After changing the posture, Wang Momo's chest was violently rising and falling, which was particularly obvious.

Ji Xinxue calmly breathed a sigh of relief, and took the initiative to look away.

Although she wished that Nanny Wang would die, and knew that with King Jia's character, Nanny Wang would definitely die, but there was still a big difference between knowing that someone would die and seeing someone die with her own eyes.

Seeing that the guards of the palace were leaving quietly, Ji Xinxue quietly pulled down Yu Heng's sleeve and gave Yu Heng a wink.

Yu Heng looked confused.

Ji Xinxue took advantage of the fact that no one around was paying attention to him and Yu Heng, pressed Yu Heng's shoulder, tiptoed to Yu Heng's ear and said, "You first..." Leave?

Judging from the behavior and few words of Si Niangzi and Wang Momo, Si Niangzi ran out because she was angry with the princess. Wang Momo was afraid that Si Niangzi would talk nonsense, so she urgently wanted to take Si Niangzi back, even at the expense of forcing Si Niangzi. lady.

If this matter is investigated carefully, the princess may be involved, and neither he nor Yu Heng is suitable to stay here.

Yu Heng offered to leave, and he happened to have an excuse to send Yu Heng out, so he left.

Both of them can avoid the embarrassment that follows.

Ji Xinxue was only halfway through when Yu Heng's ears visibly twitched, and he immediately pushed Ji Xinxue away and backed away.

From Ji Xinxue's perspective, it was clear that Yu Heng's ears gradually changed from pink to almost red.

Perhaps feeling the change in the heat of the ear, Yu Heng's face was also covered with a thin red.He looked at Ji Xinxue condemningly, but he looked away first, his long eyelashes fluttering up and down like butterfly wings.

Ji Xinxue blinked innocently, he never thought that the little princess' ears could be so untouchable.

During the two people's eyebrow and eye lawsuit, King Jia finally coaxed Fourth Lady to say what she was interrupted by Wang Momo.

No matter what time it is, Si Niangzi's crying is always full of vitality.

"Aniang said that she wants me to marry an ugly monster! She also asked me to tell Aye that I like ugly monsters!" Fourth Lady said loudly, "I don't like ugly monsters, I hate ugly monsters!"

King Jia closed his eyes, "Who is the ugly monster?"

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng looked at each other, and the same candidate suddenly flashed in their minds, even with the same mouth shape.

'cousin'

"cousin"

Got it right, but not quite right.

Ji Xinxue looked at Wang Jia, whose anger was rising in a straight line, and his brows were covered with black air, silently lit a piece of wax for the princess and her natal family in her heart.

Even with the blessing of her natal nephew, she would not be really ugly, but the aesthetics of Si Niangzi... Thinking of the most common "coquettish and slut" face in Si Niangzi's courtyard, Ji Xinxue couldn't help falling into silence .

Moreover, the fourth lady is only eight years old, so the princess is too anxious.

King Jia didn't expect the princess to be so anxious.

Before the big banquet in the palace, the princess had told him about the marriage of the eldest lady, and King Jia was very upset at that time. The eldest lady was only 12 years old, so she had to stay until she remarried.

Unexpectedly, the princess was not only anxious about her 12-year-old daughter, but even her eight-year-old daughter.

Want to use his daughter to support her natal family?

Ignorant fool!

"Go and stay with your little granny for a few days, okay?" Wang Jia suppressed the hostility in his eyes, and carefully coaxed his daughter, who was still red-eyed, "I'll have someone sew you a horse-faced skirt in vermilion streamer brocade with wide sleeves." , there are precious stones where the embroidered patterns are sewn."

A bright light flashed in Si Niangzi's eyes.

Of course, she wanted a dress like this for a long time.

But what my sister doesn't have, my mother will definitely not make it for her. In the early Hanmei Academy, she took "Ding" and so on, and asked Aye to stop her and punish her. There is no shame in asking Aye to make it for her. Such luxurious clothes.

She silently increased the strength on her arms, and muffled, "Don't be ugly!"

Otherwise she would rather not have clothes.

The anger that King Jia had barely suppressed surged to his forehead again, and he promised under his voice, "Okay, I will choose a husband-in-law for you in the future."

Ji Xinxue has no interest in exploring the stupidity of the princess. Anyway, judging from the current situation, no matter how many whimsical ideas the princess has, they can't find it in the palm of King Jia.

Hearing King Jia calling him, Ji Xinxue immediately responded, "Aye?"

"Take your fourth sister to your little grandma's yard, and ask someone to make a bowl of tranquilizing medicine for her." Wang Jia put down his fourth wife and said to Ji Xinxue.

He didn't intend to let Si Niangzi see the ugliness of the princess.

"I don't drink medicine." Si Niangzi tried to act like a spoiled child to King Jia, taking advantage of King Jia's good temper.

King Jia was unmoved, "I'm done with the clothes."

Si Niangzi made a decision without hesitation, "I'll drink tranquilizing medicine!"

King Jia nodded in satisfaction, saw Yu Heng out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly looked at Ji Xinxue, "What is he here for?"

Ji Xinxue told the truth, "The king of the small county said he would give me a thank you gift."

King Jia was quite satisfied with the answer, "How about the gift?"

Ji Xinxue turned her head to look at Yu Heng who was empty-handed in the distance.

Um?What about the thank you gift?

Don't throw it away in a panic... Ji Xinxue's eyes are full of pity.

Seeing Ji Xinxue's reaction, King Jia could guess what was going on. He patted Ji Xinxue on the shoulder and said, "Go to your little grandma's yard first, and then take the little prince around." '.

He really wasn't in the mood to chat with the younger generation today.

Si Niangzi watched King Jia leave, and the mother Wang and other trembling servants who fell on the ground were also taken away by the people called by Songnian. Worry suddenly appeared in her eyes, she lowered her head and asked Ji Xinxue in a low voice, "Madam, won't you?" Is something wrong?"

Ji Xinxue was not quite sure how 'all right' the fourth lady was, so she could only vaguely say, "When you return to your own yard, you will be able to see the princess."

After all, the princess is just outrageous and not to the point of committing a crime.

Si Niangzi nodded heavily, and joy appeared on her face again. For her, being able to live in Su Xian's yard, away from the preaching of the nuns around her, was no less joyful than going outside the mansion to play.

Ji Xinxue saw that the fourth lady no longer cared about the princess, nor did she intend to intercede with the princess, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look for Yu Heng, only to see that Yu Heng, who was empty-handed just now, was holding a carved flower stained with grass The wooden box walked towards him.

The fourth lady was a little afraid of the disapproval of her relatives when Yu Heng was expressionless, she quietly hid half a step behind Ji Xinxue, and whispered hello to Yu Heng, "Little County King."

Yu Heng nodded in return, "Xuanming County Lord"

"I thought the box was lost, but I didn't expect to find it." Ji Xinxue smiled in surprise, took out a handkerchief to wipe off the grass debris on Yu Heng's hands, and went to wipe the wooden box. "

Regardless of the value, it was a gift specially prepared by Yu Heng.

It would be a pity if it was lost like this, or destroyed in a panic.

A small arc appeared at the corner of Yu Heng's mouth, and he signaled Ji Xinxue to look at the flowers not far away with his eyes, "I will hide it."

The two smiled at each other.

The fourth lady looked at Yu Heng and then at Ji Xinxue. She wanted to ask what was in the wooden box, but she couldn't open her mouth for some reason.

After being wronged and frightened, even though Jia Wang had comforted her, when she saw Su Xian, Fourth Lady still wiped away her tears and burrowed into Su Xian's arms regardless.

She was really scared, especially after King Jia left, she couldn't help but recall the feeling when she was held tightly in Wang Momo's arms and couldn't breathe.Even if she held Ji Xinxue's hand tightly, Si Niangzi often had the illusion of difficulty breathing.

But she is an elder sister, she must be brave, and not let Axue be afraid with her.

There is the little prince next to her, so she can't embarrass Aye.

Seeing Su Xian, Si Niangzi seemed to see the backbone, and immediately gave up the proud and responsible identity of 'sister', and just wanted to curl up in Su Xian's arms and express her grievances to her heart's content.

Su Xian felt sorry for Si Niangzi and did not forget Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, so she softly told them to go to Ji Xinxue's room to talk, don't worry about Si Niangzi, if they were here, Si Niangzi would be embarrassed and keep her emotions in her heart.

Ji Xinxue took Yu Heng away absent-mindedly, secretly lamenting that she was not careful enough, ignoring the harm that what happened today brought Si Niangzi, and thought that with the comfort of King Jia, Si Niangzi had come out of the haze.

Yu Heng held up the carved wooden box that he was holding all the way in front of Ji Xinxue, with an extremely serious expression and tone, "Thank you."

Ji Xinxue was infected by Yu Heng's serious expression, and her confused mood suddenly calmed down.

"You're welcome?" When Ji Xinxue took over the carved wooden box, she deliberately blinked her right eye, and the originally serious and heavy atmosphere suddenly eased.

Putting the carved wooden box next to the dowry, Ji Xinxue carefully touched the small mechanism on the edge of the carved wooden box, gently opened the hidden buckle, and took off the lid.

Inside the wooden box are ten palm-sized white porcelain vases with wide mouths.

Ji Xinxue put down her hands and looked at Yu Heng sincerely, "If it's rouge powder, I'll give it to my sisters, will you be angry?"

Yu Heng didn't seem to have expected Ji Xinxue to say that, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "You can do whatever you want with the things I gave you, why should I be angry?"

As long as Ji Xinxue had a smile on her face when she received the gift, it would be the best result for Yu Heng.

Seeing that there was no embarrassment or reluctance on Yu Heng's face, Ji Xinxue was completely relieved, and anticipation appeared in her eyes again.

The first jar contained vermilion powder. The color was the most authentic red Ji Xinxue had seen in this era. I don't know what was mixed in it, but it shone faintly under the natural light.

Yu Heng explained to Ji Xinxue, "This is cinnabar powder, with some gold powder mixed in it."

Ji Xinxue nodded, and went to see what was in the other jars.

The jar side by side with the first jar still contained a piece of vermilion, but it was not in the form of powder but in the form of a thick paste.

The two jars in the second row are also the same color powder and paste, which are bright orange.

The third row of jars is a bluish-purple with a glass sheen.

The pots in the fourth row are dark green with a halo flowing.

The fifth row of jars is full-bodied white

"Is it paint?" Ji Xinxue looked at Yu Heng in surprise.

In this era, colored things are extremely precious, and paint is the most unnecessary luxury.

Only natural ores undergo a complex process to obtain very little pigment.

Red and yellow are the most easily obtained colors in this era, they come from cinnabar and bezoar respectively, but the pigment Yu Heng gave him is extremely positive in color, and it will definitely consume more raw materials and more time, not to mention mixing it with Gold and silver dust.

As for the blue-purple, dark green and white pigments, Ji Xinxue can only vaguely remember that the dark green pigments are made of malachite. This kind of stone is a tribute from a small country in Fanbang, and it rarely flows into the people, even if it has a price. Someone will sell it, let alone grind malachite into powder and make it into a pigment.

Unless it is painting, everyone wants to leave a work handed down from generation to generation.

Yu Heng nodded, "You are very talented in painting."

He didn't have to ask Ji Xinxue if he liked this gift, the surprise in Ji Xinxue's eyes had already told him the answer.

It's a pity that the time is too short to make the gemstones in his collection into pigments, so they can only be exchanged from others. Not only are the colors small, but the quantity is not too much.

Ji Xinxue cheekily acknowledged Yu Heng's compliment.

If ten years of uninterrupted persistence is considered a talent, he can indeed be called a "talent".

"How about I use these paints to draw pictures for you?" Ji Xinxue carefully checked the seal of each porcelain bottle, for fear that the paint would be damaged if the bottle was not tightly closed.

Yu Heng sent such an expensive gift, even as a thank you gift, Ji Xinxue felt a lot of pressure, but she couldn't bear to refuse it.

He could only choose a middle way and use the gift on Yu Heng.

Yu Heng's pupils dilated silently, never expecting such a surprise, "Really?"

"Of course it's true, as long as you don't think my painting style is different from the traditional painting style." Ji Xinxue thought for a while, and discussed with Yu Heng, "I'll draw something else first to practice my hand, and you can also paint in After reading my draft, think again."

"No need to think about it." Yu Heng answered immediately, with an extremely rare eagerness in his voice.

It's a pity that Ji Xinxue was thinking about what kind of painting to draw for Yu Heng, and didn't care about the small and unusual.

Until he walked out of the gate of Prince Jia's Mansion, Yu Heng's mind was still full of the painting that Ji Xinxue had promised him, and absent-mindedly asked the servant to drive the carriage to Linlanglou where he picked up the paint.

Seeing Yu Heng going back and forth, the old shopkeeper immediately perked up and carefully observed Yu Heng's expression.

He already knew that Yu Heng brought the box of paint that was more expensive than gold to Prince Jia's Mansion, but he couldn't be sure who Yu Heng went to King Jia's Mansion to meet.

Seeing Yu Heng's chilling eyes and relaxed posture in his eyes, the old shopkeeper was completely at a loss.

Is this happy or not happy?

"Prepare some things that can be used for painting and send them to Prince Jia's Mansion tomorrow." Yu Heng ordered the old shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper's voice echoed like a bell, and the vigilance in his eyes disappeared completely.

Or things that can be used in painting must be given to the same person as the paint.

To be able to stay in King Jia's Mansion for two consecutive days must be the master of King Jia's Mansion.

There is a high probability that it is the county lord Xuanming or the county lord Ningshu.

Mo Changshi was forced to defend the fief, and he was also terrified in Chang'an.

I was afraid that the king of the small county would be bewitched by Qi Liu, and would come to Yuanzhou to find Qi Liu.Or suddenly become fascinated by a girl who has a close relationship with the British government, and she will not marry unless she is a Qing.

Guessing that the person who caused Yu Heng to give gifts frequently and was extra caring was the county magistrate of Prince Jia's Mansion, the smile on the old shopkeeper's face never restrained.

Blessed by the spirit of the sky, the old princess will make the little prince's wishes come true.

No matter how insane the people in the British government were, they had to be cautious when they encountered the jewel of the Jiawang mansion.

At the foot of Chang'an, which well-informed person doesn't know that King Jia protects his children the most?

"Old slave, I'll let someone prepare it, pick out the best things, and deliver them to Prince Jia's mansion tomorrow." The old shopkeeper poured a cup of tea for Yu Heng, with a very earnest tone.

Yu Heng moved his lips and closed his eyes to hide his irritability.

He wanted to send the things to Ji Xinxue himself but couldn't find a reason.

If I send thank you gifts for two consecutive days, will others feel that Ji Xinxue is greedy for his money?

Those sluts who can only chew their mouths have no time to stop.

The teacup was placed on the table and made a crisp sound. Yu Heng nodded expressionlessly, "Well, you deliver it yourself, and then let someone go to see how the ponies in the suburbs of Beijing are. In a few days, I will take..."

Yu Heng suddenly turned his head to look at the old shopkeeper, under the watchful eyes of the old shopkeeper, his voice became smaller and smaller.

He had the illusion that this old man who controlled all the operations of Princess An's Mansion in Chang'an wanted to swallow him alive.

"Who are you taking?" The old shopkeeper asked impatiently.

Yu Heng suddenly felt awkward, and turned his head to avoid the sight of the old shopkeeper, "Don't worry about it, feed the remaining ponies, and I will give them to... my classmates."

"Oh..." The old shopkeeper replied in a frustrating voice, it was County Lord Ningshu.

She must be a gentle and virtuous girl who can soothe the grievances of the little county king with a gentle voice.

The small flames in Yu Heng's heart were ignited by the old shopkeeper into a raging fire, wanting to rush out of his chest.He frowned irritably, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up abruptly and walked out.

Presumably, it was because of the recent dryness and anger, so he asked Imperial Physician Liu to give him a prescription for anger.

The old shopkeeper couldn't keep up with Yu Heng's pace, and stood at the entrance of the flower hall with his beard pinched, smiling silly.

He blew the cold wind for a while, and finally calmed down.

I was about to find someone to collect good materials for painting, and then ordered someone to go to Dazhuang on the outskirts of Beijing to prepare carefully.Yu Heng who left like a gust of wind suddenly appeared at the corner of the corridor.

Yu Heng stopped in front of the old shopkeeper, hesitation flashed across his eyebrows, he hesitated for a long time, and then hooked his finger at the old shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper had never seen Yu Heng in such a troubled state, and immediately put all other thoughts aside, and bent down to listen to Yu Heng's orders.

Yu Heng's voice was inaudible, thanks to the old shopkeeper's years of martial arts practice and excellent hearing ability, he could hear clearly, "Master Ning Shu's cousin is going to a banquet at King Jia's Mansion today, you go and find out which cousin it is. "

The old shopkeeper nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Xiaojun Wang, tomorrow I will arrange someone to go to the Imperial College to deliver the pastries from Baiweizhai to you, and that person will tell you all the information about 'cousin'."

"I just want to know which cousin it is." Yu Heng emphasized subconsciously, and was afraid that the old shopkeeper really only inquired about the ranking, so he added a very awkward sentence, "Just ask for other information."

The old shopkeeper secretly clenched his palms, his voice became softer and softer, "Don't worry, it must be a 'casual' inquiry."

Yu Heng was still dissatisfied, but he couldn't tell where he was dissatisfied, so he could only continue to attribute the crime to the "heavenly dry fire" and left with a sullen face.

After Yu Heng turned around, the old shopkeeper's expression became more and more weird, and finally persisted until the sound of Yu Heng's footsteps disappeared completely, and he was already leaning against the door and sat on the ground wearily.

If someone is around the old shopkeeper, they will hear the sound of "haha" pressed against their throats.

It's just that when the old shopkeeper raised his head inadvertently, the dim sunset not only illuminated the white hair on his head, but also occasionally illuminated the corners of his eyes.
