I was a princess in ancient times

Sensing Ji Xinxue's movements, King Jia suddenly tightened his arms and warned in a low voice, "Be honest."

Ji Xinxue dared not speak out, and was taken away by King Jia's arms and waist like a sack. Fortunately, his body was very soft, and King Jia's arms were also extremely stable, so it was not uncomfortable.

Before reaching the front yard, two people greeted him.

Both of them are nine feet tall, and the one on the left is dressed in a pea-green narrow-sleeved uniform, with thick eyebrows and big eyes full of righteousness.

In contrast, the figure of the person on the right is slightly thinner. As he walked, the moon-white tunic with wide sleeves flashed extremely gorgeous light.

King Jia didn't seem to expect to be blocked by the two at the gate of the yard, and waited until the two bent down in front of him and said, "Congratulations to the King", then he hurriedly put Ji Xinxue down, and even reached out to stroke Ji Xinxue's hair. I wanted to smooth Ji Xinxue's messy bun, but Ji Xinxue's crumbling bun completely fell apart, and the pearl hairpin on her head fell to the ground along the silky hair, making a crisp sound.

Ji Xinxue quickly raised her hand to cover the remaining hairpin on her head, and took two big steps back to distance herself from King Jia.

King Jia stared at the pearl hairpin that fell into two pieces on the ground, shock flashed in his eyes, he moved his lips, but he didn't say a word after all.

He coughed lightly, and said to the two who were still bent over, "I'm happy with Qing, does Shiwulang know the fiefs and titles of the eldest brother, the fourth brother and the ninth brother."

The two stood up, and the man in a moon-white tunic with wide sleeves responded, "The eldest prince is enfeoffed as King Li, and the fiefdom is in Lizhou, Jiannan Road; the fourth prince is enfeoffed as King Yi, and the fiefdom is in Yizhou, Longyou Road; Not yet declared."

In just a few words, King Jia had recovered his arrogance in front of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and said with a calm smile, "The Ninth Brother's Feng Zhenwang, the fief is in Zhenzhou, Lingnan Dao."

Zhu Shiwulang and Song Nian showed exactly the same joy in their eyes, and bowed again, "Congratulations, Your Majesty"

King Jia raised his hand to help the two of them, and said in a friendly tone, "I will write to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow and fill in your name on the officials of the palace. It is not in vain that you will wait with me for many years."

Ji Xinxue hid behind King Jia and focused on two things, while remembering the conversation between the two people who suddenly appeared and King Jia, while raising her hands above her head.His fingers fluttered nimbly, trying to put the fallen pearl hairpin back on.

With his efforts, the hairpin that didn't fall on the ground broke into two without a sound, and the silky hair became frizzy.

Looking at the broken hairpin in his palm, Ji Xinxue had to admit that maybe he inherited something other than appearance from King Jia.

Zhu Shiwulang and Song Nian also saw the speechless little lady with loose hair behind King Jia.

Needless to say, even if the little lady's clothes are only slightly better than those of the maids in the palace, and the pearl hairpin whose palm has been broken into two pieces is not even as luxurious as the headgear worn by the maids in the front yard of King Jia's mansion, the little lady seems to be carved out of the same mold as King Jia With her looks, the two of them could tell that this was King Jia's daughter.

Judging by her age, she was the fifth lady who was grounded at birth and never appeared in front of people.

Song Nian strode up to Ji Xinxue and knelt down on one knee, "Slave pays respects to Fifth Lady"

Ji Xinxue was stunned, this is actually a servant of the palace?

Not to mention that this man named Song Nian is no worse than Zhu Shiwulang in a wide-sleeved robe.

Just now, King Jia also said that the names of Songnian and Zhu Shiwulang would be written on the list of officials in the palace.

As if aware of Ji Xinxue's hesitation, Songnian took the initiative to say, "I am the king's servant."

Ji Xinxue still didn't understand, so she could only roughly classify Songnian as a useful servant by King Jia's side, but she didn't show any timidity on her face, she nodded, and bent over to help Songnian get up.

Before his hand touched Songnian's clothes, Songnian got up on his own, and motioned to Ji Xinxue for Zhu Shiwulang who had already walked in front of Ji Xinxue, "This is Zhu Shiwulang, the head of the palace."

Zhu Shiwulang bowed and bowed, like Song Nian, and called him Wu Niangzi instead of the county lord.

Ji Xinxue responded with a blessing, "Master Zhu"

Zhu Shiwulang suddenly raised his head, looked at Ji Xinxue with shocking eyes, and then changed from entanglement to full of joy, and said with trembling lips, "Fifth Lady..."

Ji Xinxue immediately sensed something was wrong, stepped back half a step, and subconsciously looked at King Jia.

King Jia walked over with a pale face, grabbed Zhu Shiwulang by the shoulders, forcibly lifted Zhu Shiwulang up, and interrupted Zhu Shiwulang's unfinished sentence, "It's getting dark, you should go home earlier, Xiao Wang I will give you three days off, and I will prepare for the banquet when I come back."

Zhu Shiwulang saw that King Jia was showing signs of repentance, and he couldn't care less about other things, he grabbed King Jia's wrist and repeatedly promised, "If someone is loved by the King, he will gather all the strength of the whole family to support Wu Niangzi, and don't let Wu Niangzi suffer any grievances." .”

King Jia took a deep breath, held back the curses on his lips, and said sharply, "You should go home and sleep!"

Before Zhu Shiwulang, who had lost his composure, could say anything, Song Nian had already pinched Zhu Shiwulang's wrist, and forcibly dragged Zhu Shiwulang, who had to let go of King Jia because of his numb wrist, and walked out the door.

Zhu Shiwulang was not reconciled to being dragged away by Song Nian, he turned his head to look at King Jia frequently, but Jia Wang turned his back to Zhu Shiwulang.

"Your Majesty! The sun and the moon can learn from Zhu's heart to the King!"

Ji Xinxue was deeply relieved when he saw Zhu Shiwulang was completely dragged away.

It was he who wrongly blamed King Jia, it was not King Jia who was abnormal, but a man from the Yu Dynasty.

Just out of politeness, he respectfully addressed Zhu Shiwulang as a lord, and Zhu Shiwulang cried and shouted that he would support him with the whole family...

Could it be that in this strange dynasty, 'adult' is equal to 'Xianggong'?

"Your Master Zhu is gone, and you are still staring at him. Do you want me to send you to the Zhu Mansion?" A gloomy voice came from Ji Xinxue's ears.

Ji Xinxue immediately shook her head, raised her face and smiled cutely at King Jia.

Jiawang's tense expression eased a little, but he still refused to let Ji Xinxue go easily, "Why did you call him 'Master'?"

Seeing that King Jia was really angry, Ji Xinxue dared to continue to tease the lion's tail, she lowered her head and said honestly, "I saw that Aye treats him kindly, so I want to respect him."

I didn't expect to suffer from ignorance.

"Respect?!" King Jia squeezed two words between his teeth, his chest heaved violently, but his voice was calmer than ever before, "Oh, Zhong Su actually taught you like this?"

Ji Xinxue's heart beat violently, she looked up and saw King Jia looking at him expressionlessly, and immediately hugged King Jia's waist, "Aye! Auntie worries about me all day, except for teaching me etiquette, most of the time They are all lying on the sickbed, not because she taught me to do this. A Niang also didn’t know that I would be released today, and she never told me how to address the officials of the palace. .”

Jia Wang looked down at the top of Ji Xinxue's dark head.

Every child in the palace grew up on his lap, but this child who resembled him the most grew up to his waist in the blink of an eye.

"Send him back." Jia Wang said to Song Nian who came here quietly.

Ji Xinxue tightened her arms silently around King Jia's waist, after all, she still didn't dare to pretend to be an idiot like in front of Mrs. Zhong, for fear that it would lead to the opposite consequences to his wishes, and become a cheater.

Knocking on the courtyard door under Songnian's watchful eyes, Ji Xinxue pulled himself together and made up a lie to appease Mrs. Zhong, saying that his bun was scratched by a kitten that suddenly appeared, and he was so scared that he forgot to pick it up Hairpins on the ground.

At the same time that Mrs. Zhong was relieved, she was even more distressed by Ji Xinxue's innocent disaster. She hugged Ji Xinxue and coaxed her for half the night. Leave without a sound.

After all the sounds faded away, Ji Xinxue opened her sleepless eyes, stared blankly at the direction of the door, and fell asleep in a daze until bright colors appeared in the sky.

Ji Xinxue had a dream, in which he returned to the night when he was born.

King Jia looked down at him expressionlessly, no, he was staring at the object between his legs, and said solemnly, "It's a pity that something has grown, let's cut it off."

In the dream, the baby who was smiling sweetly at Jia Wang was suddenly born crying, and the yellowish urine sprayed Jia Wang all over his face.

Ji Xinxue opened her eyes suddenly, and subconsciously touched her waist.

There are no missing items, and no bedwetting.

Ji Xinxue let out a long breath of relief.

Mrs. Zhong felt sorry for Ji Xinxue's shock the day before yesterday, so she specially told the maid not to wake Ji Xinxue up, and let Ji Xinxue sleep more, but she saw that Ji Xinxue woke up earlier than usual, wilting by her side.

"Did Xue Nu be wronged outside?" Mrs. Zhong held Ji Xinxue in her arms and coaxed softly, "The eldest lady and the fourth lady are the daughters of the concubine, and Erlang is not only the son of the concubine but also the only son of the king. The third lady It was born by Zheng Ruren, and Sixth Lady was born by Li Ruren. You should let them be more... It was because A Niang made a big mistake back then that caused you to be disliked by the king. Don't blame the king, and don't blame it Brothers and sisters, if you want to blame, blame A Niang."

Ji Xinxue sighed, and skillfully took out a handkerchief to wipe Niangzi Zhong's tears.

He had not heard this a thousand times since he was a child, but he had heard it a hundred times.

If it was true that the seven-year-old child was being taught by Mrs. Zhong day and night, he might have believed in Mrs. Zhong's statement long ago.

It's a pity that he is not a real child, he is a heterogeneous person with memory from birth.

There was a sudden noisy sound in the yard, Ji Xinxue got up immediately and strode towards the door.

It was the maidservant from Si Niangzi's yard, who came here specially to see Si Niangzi promise to give Ji Xinxue Caiyun Rose.

Ji Xinxue absentmindedly declined with the maidservant, "This is Fourth Sister's favorite thing, I don't want to take it away, please move the Caiyun Rose back, tomorrow I will go to Fourth Sister to explain it myself."

The maidservant with a jasmine hairpin on her temples raised her chin and said neither humble nor overbearing, "It's just a potted flower, not a favorite thing. This morning, the king personally sent twelve pots of colorful roses with different colors to the fourth lady. The Fourth Lady was born to be favored by the Flower Goddess, even if others want to force it, they will not be able to obtain it, but it is just an imitation, which only adds to the joke."

Ji Xinxue smiled, and didn't care what the maidservant meant, but Caizhu couldn't see that the maidservant offended Ji Xinxue so much, and said sharply, "You poor maidservant, why don't you kneel when you see Fifth Lady?"

The maidservant sneered, "The king and concubine are kind, they never make servants kneel down and answer. Is the fifth lady more pompous than the king and concubine?"

Ji Xinxue rubbed the aching forehead from the quarrel. He was full of King Jia's anger after saying something wrong yesterday. Since last night, he had been worrying whether King Jia would blame Mrs. Zhong for "not taking good care of her". He really didn't have the energy to continue Seeing the maidservants fighting for the wind, they were about to speak to dismiss Fourth Lady's maidservant, but saw Songnian's figure appearing at the gate of the courtyard.

All the servants in the yard took the initiative to salute, "inner prison"

It was only then that Ji Xinxue realized that the 'insider' that Songnian said yesterday meant eunuch.

Men in the Yu Dynasty did not have the habit of growing beards. Neither King Jia nor Zhu Shiwulang had beards yesterday, and Song Nian was the tallest of the three. Did not think about the eunuch.

Song Nian came to pass on King Jia's order, he pretended not to notice the vigilance and hostility in Ji Xinxue's eyes, and repeated what King Jia said solemnly.

King Jia was very angry at Ji Xinxue's disrespectful behavior, reprimanded Mrs. Zhong for inappropriately teaching her daughters, and fined Mrs. Zhong three years of fines. He also invited the etiquette nurse from Su Zhaoyi in the palace to re-teach Mrs. Zhong and Ji Xinxue etiquette, and demanded that Mrs. Zhong Be sure to be able to 'see people' before going to the Imperial College.

As the ones being reprimanded, Ji Xinxue and Mrs. Zhong not only had to stand in place and listen to the training honestly, but also kowtowed in the direction of the palace after Song Nian shut up, and Mrs. Xie Zhaoyi gave the etiquette mother.

After Ji Xinxue and Mrs. Zhong got up, Song Nian said again, "Your Majesty respects Aunt Xian and has served Mrs. Zhaoyi for many years, and he doesn't want to wrong Aunt Xian. Please ask Mrs. Fifth and Mrs. Zhong to move to Qixia Courtyard before the day after tomorrow.

After Song Nian left, Si Niangzi's maidservant saluted Ji Xinxue with a half-smile, "Congratulations to Wu Niangzi for moving to a new home."

After finishing speaking, before Ji Xinxue could respond, the maid turned around and left in a swaggering manner, impatient to share Ji Xinxue's joke with the sullen maidservants in the Fourth Lady's courtyard.

Also leave with the king.

The fourth lady went back to the yard crying, and the next morning, the king personally brought twelve pots of colorful roses to coax the fourth lady.

The fifth lady was sent back to the yard by the king's inner eunuch, but what she received the next day was the king's reprimand and the ceremonial mothers in the palace.

The majestic county lord of the royal palace actually had to rely on the face of the ceremonial mother to move to a better courtyard. If she was the fifth lady, she would really wish to find a pillar and kill her.

Ji Xinxue also wanted to find the pillar, but she didn't feel ashamed and wanted to bump her head to death, but wanted to lean on the pillar to take a good breath.

For Mrs. Zhong's monthly silver, it doesn't matter if she is fined for ten years, not to mention three years.

After all, it was only a fine of moon silver, and the jewelry provided by the palace to Mrs. Zhong every season was more than ten times the amount of moon silver.

Zhong Niangzi, who didn't know that she was almost bloodied by Ji Xinxue, also had a happy smile on her face. She held Ji Xinxue's hand tightly and organized her future plans in an orderly manner.

Xue Nu can become the county head and go to the Imperial College to study, and they can leave this ghostly place and move to Qixia Courtyard.

What Caisui said is right, her life with Xue Nu has finally come to an end.

When Jiudi was in high school, she went to beg the concubine and promised Xue Nu to the man of Jiudi's family.

Only when the marriage is settled can her Xue Nu be completely at ease.

Ji Xinxue and Mrs. Zhong only had the property provided by the palace as a rule, and it only took half a day to pack up and move into the new courtyard.

Although the new courtyard is also in the remote part of the palace, it is on the other side of the garden, seven or eight times larger than their old courtyard, and there is even a moon gate between the main house and the east and west wing rooms.

In the evening, Mrs. Zhong sent Caisui to the kitchen with broken silver to order a few tables of good food, and quietly celebrated the joy of moving to a new house.

After a few cups of dirty wine, Mrs. Zhong became drunk, and every word she said was what she was thinking about most now.

Either 'Xue Nu' or 'Nine Brothers'.

Ji Xinxue had never drunk alcohol since she was born, she just thought she was drinking, and unconsciously drank more than Mrs. Zhong.

He intentionally made Mrs. Zhong happy, knowing that it was a fluke for Zhong Kan to pass the imperial examination, and there was almost no hope for the palace examination, so he joked, "After the day after tomorrow, I will call my uncle Master Zhong..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jia Wang's expressionless face suddenly appeared in Ji Xinxue's mind, and the misty drunkenness immediately dissipated, and he subconsciously looked to the left and right.

Fortunately, there were only him and the drunken lady Zhong in the house, and the rest of the servants had their dinner elsewhere under the auspices of Nanny Li and the Caizi maid.

Mrs. Zhong leaned on the back chair behind Ji Xinxue, and said with a smile, "Okay! My son, when your marriage with Twelve Lang is finalized, I will call your uncle your lord."

Ji Xinxue covered her chest where her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, shock flashed in her eyes.

Mrs. Zhong talked to him all day long about Zhong Kan's Twelfth Lang. It turned out that she didn't love the house and love Wu, but had the idea of ​​marrying him back to her uncle's house.

"Aniang..." Ji Xinxue shook Mrs. Zhong's arm vigorously to prevent Mrs. Zhong who had closed her eyes from falling asleep, and spoke in a low and urgent voice, "Is this what adults call father?"

It was Mrs. Zhong's long breathing that answered Ji Xinxue.

The author has something to say:

Ji Xinxue: Master Zhu

Zhu Shiwulang: Wu Niangzi called me Zhu Dae?Could it be that the prince wants Fifth Lady to recognize me as her godfather!

Jia Wang:? ? ?
