I was a princess in ancient times

The owner panted for a long time before shaking his head, "I haven't decided on a specific candidate, but you happen to be of the right age for Abuhan's real eldest son."

Ji Xinxue sat down on the chair, looking at the owner with an unpredictable expression.

Ji Xinxue felt physically and mentally exhausted by suddenly tensing up and then relaxing. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was the owner who was more outrageous, or the news that the owner brought to him was even more outrageous.

age?

Whether this kind of thing is age-appropriate is not a matter of a word from the superior?

Among the young ladies in the Jiawang Mansion, the oldest Ji Minyan is fifteen years old, and the youngest Ji Baoshan is five years old. If Ah Buhan's real eldest son is the same age as him, all the young ladies in the Jiawang Mansion can be considered suitable age.

Neither had he decided on a specific candidate, nor had he confirmed that it was the person from the Jiawang Mansion to marry, the owner of the villa was so anxious that he couldn't even speak clearly as if he had seen the imperial decree asking him to marry.

No wonder it is really embarrassing to be the owner of a small village in the suburbs of Beijing.

Ji Xinxue calmed down for a while before asking questions.

He had already memorized the map behind the Hanzhuyuan Academy in his mind, King Jia would also tell his sons and daughters about the interesting things that happened there, so he knew exactly where Mohe was.

Mohe is located in the northeast of the territory of Dayu, composed of ten Jurchen tribes, and was officially included in the territory of the Yu Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Qianyuan.Emperor Qianyuan set up five capitals in Mohe, dispatched officials from Chang'an to work with local people to manage Mohe, and classified Mohe as part of Hebei Province.

Chang'an likes to use "Hebei Daobei" to refer to Mohe.

Ji Xinxue hadn't heard any news of changes in Hebei Road until the owner suddenly rushed in.

"What's the matter with Mohe?" Ji Xinxue picked up the teacup again, hiding the confusion on his face.

The owner of the villa said with a bitter face, "I don't know what's going on. This is the news from Chang'an. The Mohe ten tribes rebelled. Going south all the way, we have broken through seven cities one after another, and are now besieging Jizhou Pass and Pingzhou Pass."

Ji Xinxue quietly clenched her fingers under her wide sleeves.

If Mohe breaks through Jizhou and Pingzhou, then he has more than one choice. He can either go south and go to the south of the Yangtze River to plunder, or he can go west and go straight to Chang'an.

"Maybe it's just a rumor, where did you get the news from?" Ji Xinxue still didn't want to believe that such a sudden thing would happen.

Every three days, the governor's mansions in various places would pay respects to Emperor Yanguang. Mohe first broke through the five governor's mansions located in the hinterland of Shibu, and then went south one after another.

Not counting the time needed to siege the city, it would take at least a month just to travel.

How could such a major event be concealed seamlessly without even the slightest bit of wind leaking out?

The worry and bitterness on the owner's face became even worse, "Return to the county owner, this is already known to all the people in Chang'an, and there are people talking about it everywhere on the streets of Chang'an."

If it was a lie, the people who dared to spread rumors would have been arrested long ago.

Ji Xinxue glanced at the sky that had completely darkened, and said in a deep voice, "Comfort the people in Zhuangzi, whether it is getting married or sending troops, it will not affect this place for the time being, go down."

Ji Xinxue really couldn't find a reasonable explanation for this weird incident unless the court was holding a meeting.

It is better to wait until we return to Chang'an tomorrow and find out more accurate information from people who know more inside information before making speculations.

It wasn't just Ji Xinxue who couldn't sleep that night, but also many people in Chang'an.

After King Jia returned to his mansion, his face was sombre. When he heard the concubine, Zheng Ruren, Xu Ruren and Mrs. Zhong coming to see him, he was so angry that he smashed Fang Yantai, and said in a cold voice, "Tell them not to go back to your yard again. Just be confined in the yard for half a year."

Song Nian nodded silently, and took Jia Wang's favorite glazed ornament in his hand before going out, and took it away.

Hearing the sound of closing the door, King Jia smashed another teacup, strode to the rocking chair behind the screen and fell down, closing his eyes and recalling the horror he heard when he went up.

It is not a secret in the court that the frontier is unstable.

Three years ago, Emperor Yanguang claimed to be ill and surrounded the residences of the princes with Jinwu Guards. Even the people in Chang'an knew that Emperor Yanguang was dying and might die at any time.

It was half a year later that Emperor Yanguang's sons and the courtiers of Chang'an found clues from Emperor Yanguang's attitude towards the kings. Later, they realized that Emperor Yanguang's so-called "dying death" was fishing.

Local officials have long believed that Emperor Yanguang walked through the gate of hell.

The emperor is aging but has no heir in his prime. In the eyes of some people, it is not only a phenomenon of imperial power weakening, but also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After discovering that the frontier had changed, the courtiers tried to remedy it.

The quickest and most effective way is for the prince to patrol the border, which can not only inspire the aura of the border soldiers, but also deter people with ulterior motives.

Even if a person with ulterior motives has reached the level of wolf ambition and directly attacks the prince, it is only to attack the prince.

Chang'an also had the emperor and other princes, which just gave Chang'an a reason to dispatch a large army to suppress the rebellion.

King Yi and King Zhen were already common people and were adopted out, and they might hold grudges against Emperor Yanguang. They were really not suitable for patrolling the border. The courtiers could only endure the heartache and suggested that Emperor Yanguang choose among King Li, King Jia and King Xiang. Personally go to patrol the border.

Emperor Yanguang was furious, and he slapped the table to make Jin Wuwei stand in the court hall and punish all the courtiers who wrote the letter. King Li, King Jia and King Xiang would be beaten together with the courtiers even if they didn't say anything.

In addition, Emperor Yanguang disregarded the obstruction of his courtiers, and issued an order to reprimand the governors' mansions on the frontiers, using the means used on the aristocratic families in the governor's mansions, and ordered the governors of each governor's mansion to return to Chang'an to report on their duties.

The Minister of the Ministry of War almost fainted.

These governor's mansions co-governed by Chang'an and the local government are relying on the governor sent from Chang'an to barely maintain the superficial peace. Emperor Yanguang wants to transfer the governor back to Chang'an. Is it because he is afraid that the place will not be chaotic?

No one could stop Emperor Yanguang who was determined to go his own way, and the Minister of the Ministry of War kowtowed and passed out. It was only in exchange for Emperor Yanguang adding a sentence to the will of recruiting the governor to return to Chang'an.

He asked the governor and the governor to return to Chang'an to report on their duties at the same time.

After ascending the throne, Emperor Yanguang indulged in having fun and never cared about government affairs, especially those outside of Chang'an. He never thought about it, and now he is no longer the one who just ascended the throne.

Emperor Yanguang, who had just ascended the throne, not only held all the military power in Gyeonggi, but also could command the world's soldiers with the tiger symbol obtained from Emperor Jianxing.

Now that Emperor Yanguang has been on the throne for 21 years, he has merged all the elites of Gyeonggi into Jinwuwei. He doesn't care about the other troops in Gyeonggi, let alone the local army.

The tiger talisman obtained from Emperor Jianxing had not been seen for 21 years. The generals who obeyed the tiger talisman died of illness and were disarmed one after another. Today, few people who command the army and horses in various places have even seen what the tiger talisman looks like.

As expected by the courtiers, Emperor Yanguang's proposals to invite the governors and governors to report their duties in Chang'an seemed to have disappeared. Few people were willing to submit the papers specifically to find an excuse not to return to Chang'an to report on their duties. Most of them were waiting and watching.

They were waiting for Emperor Yanguang's reaction, whether to severely punish those who disobeyed his edict, or to pretend nothing happened.

According to Emperor Yanguang's personality when he first came to the throne, he would definitely be furious.But they all knew that Emperor Yanguang was old.How can a person's personality not change at all when he gets old?

Everyone is lucky, thinking that they will not be the 'chicken' who kills chickens and monkeys.

Facts have proved that these people did not gamble wrongly. Emperor Yanguang issued an order to scold those who refused to return to Chang'an to report on their duties without discrimination. decree.

Listening to the scolding in the imperial decree is like seeing an old man who can do nothing but jump.

Since then, Emperor Yanguang's decrees have hardly left Chang'an.

When Chang'an officials saw such strange phenomena, they could only secretly regret that they did not leave Chang'an at the right time to become the chief official of the frontier, and were completely disappointed in Emperor Yanguang.

They could only pray every day that Emperor Yanguang would pass away as soon as possible.

Before you die, don't make another moth.

The courtiers never expected that although Emperor Yanguang lost the vigor when he first came to the throne when he was old, he did not lose the boldness he once had.

After Emperor Yanguang received the news of the 'Mohe' rebellion, he held a grudge because the governors and governors in the five governor's mansions turned a blind eye to his imperial decree. know about it.

Until Mohe went south and broke seven cities in a row, and had already besieged outside Jizhou and Pingzhou, Emperor Yanguang directly agreed to Mohe's peace negotiation conditions, and selected a princess from the clan with a generous dowry to send to Guanwai to marry Mohe Khan Abu Hanzhen eldest son.

Mohe no longer attacked Jizhou City and Pingzhou City, and the Yu Dynasty did not allow Mohe to withdraw from the seven cities that had already been captured.

Hearing the news suddenly, many old ministers fell to the ground in anger, and some even couldn't help crying the late emperor.

Emperor Yanguang was intimidated by the big officials outside Chang'an, afraid of Mohe who was going south, but he didn't pay attention to the courtiers of Chang'an, and immediately ordered all courtiers who disagreed with his government orders to be imprisoned in Dali Temple.

Sikong asked Emperor Yanguang angrily, "Your Majesty surrendered to Mohe today without a fight. Wouldn't that chill the hearts of the children of the frontier and the common people? In the future, Turks will follow Mohe's example and go south. How will His Majesty respond? If Nanzhao also has ambitions for restoration, what will His Majesty do?" ?”

Asking three times in succession made Emperor Yanguang extremely annoyed, and without even thinking about it, he grabbed the teacup on the imperial case and threw it at Sikong, "I am negotiating peace with Mohe, not surrendering!"

Fortunately, Emperor Yanguang was old and weak, and the teacup fell feebly to the ground before it reached Sikong, otherwise blood would be splashed on the spot.

After the trouble was extremely ugly, Emperor Yanguang and the courtiers were not in the mood to discuss matters, and finally broke up unhappy.

King Jia carefully recalled all the details of the court, and the wrinkles between his brows became more and more obvious.

Song Nian quietly appeared by King Jia's side, "The people are talking about Mohe going south and the sage's plan to send the clan daughter north to get married. Fifth Lady sent someone to deliver a letter."

King Jia stretched out his hand with his eyes closed, took the envelope and put it on his body, not in a hurry to read it.

Songnian knew that King Jia was thinking about something, so he went to sit not far from King Jia, and waited for King Jia's order.

After an unknown amount of time, King Jia quietly opened his eyes and tore open the envelope in his palm.

"Send someone to Zhuangzi to pick up Xiao Wu back, and tell Min Yan, Jing Rou and Ming Tong not to go to school for a few days, so as not to be bumped by people who don't have eyes, and tell them not to worry, it may not be..." King Jia shook his head. Shaking her head, "Forget it, there's no need to talk to them so much, tell them, even if you want to get married, it won't be them."

Early the next morning, King Jia, who hadn't slept all night, took a rest, changed his clothes, and went to the palace again.

Ji Xinxue on Zhuangzi also opened her eyes when it was still daylight, and didn't want to stay on Zhuangzi for a moment.

On the way back to Chang'an, I met two groups of people, namely Yu Heng and the guards of Prince Jia's Mansion.

The two parties arrived at the city gate almost at the same time, the horses from Princess Anguo's Mansion were better, Yu Heng saw Ji Xinxue first, and the guards from Prince Jia's Mansion were half a step behind.

Ji Xinxue was in a hurry to know about Mohe, so she got off the horse immediately after seeing Yu Heng, and asked Yu Heng to talk with him in the carriage behind.

Yu Heng has not yet started to go to court, and all the news he got comes from the prince of Qinghe County.

He only knew that it was true that Mohe went south, and that Emperor Yanguang had agreed to negotiate peace with Mohe, and that it was true that he was going to send the princess to marry him.

But the courtiers seemed unable to accept this result, and were fighting with Emperor Yanguang.

"Jizhou Pass and Pingzhou Pass are dangerous places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The defenders and military supplies are sufficient. Unless Mohe attacks the city regardless of the cost and takes human life to fill the sky, otherwise it will be impossible to break through the peace of Jizhou Pass in a short time. Zhouguan." Yu Heng softly comforted Ji Xinxue who was looking sad.

As long as Jizhou Pass and Pingzhou Pass are not urgent, there is no need to rush to send the princess out of the pass.

According to the tone of Prince Qinghe County, there is still some trouble in this matter.

Ji Xinxue nodded absently, not paying attention to the hesitation and hesitation on Yu Heng's face.

Yu Heng sent Ji Xinxue to the side door of Prince Jia's Mansion and left. The matter of sending the princess to marry has not yet been settled. People in the clan with daughters of the right age are in panic. The King of Qinghe County and the Prince's son of Qinghe County specially confessed him to sit in the clan's mansion yesterday. .

He had always known that Ji Xinxue had a heavy heart, and he was afraid that Ji Xinxue would be troubled by this incident in Zhuangzi, so he deliberately left the city when Chang'an opened the city gate, planning to visit Ji Xinxue before going to the clan mansion.

Finding out that Ji Xinxue was worried about Mohe instead of the candidate for a marriage princess, Yu Heng didn't know whether he was relieved or disappointed, but he had no time to explore his little thoughts at this juncture.

King Jia was not in the mansion when he went to court, so Ji Xinxue had to go to greet the princess first because of emotion and reason.

He deliberately went back to Baimo Courtyard to hide his toadstool bowl, and then went to Wangfei's courtyard after washing again.

As Aunt Lin stepped into the flower hall, Ji Xinxue immediately sensed something was wrong.

In the flower hall, there were not only the princess, the eldest lady and the fourth lady who did not go to the Imperial College, but also several women who Ji Xinxue felt familiar but could not name.

The eldest lady's expression was indifferent and nothing could be seen, but the fourth lady's pretty face was tense, and she was unhappy with the naked eye.

Ji Xinxue suppressed the strange look in her eyes, and greeted the princess respectfully.

The concubine nodded casually, not caring about Ji Xinxue's trivial matter of returning to the palace, and even felt that Ji Xinxue was wasting her time, so she reluctantly cared about Ji Xinxue a few words, implying that Ji Xinxue could leave.

Ji Xinxue also didn't want to waste time with the princess. After receiving the hint from the princess, she said kindly that she was feeling exhausted and wanted to go back to Baimoyuan to rest.

"I haven't seen A Xue for a long time, I think she's thinking too much, so I just sent her back to Baimo Courtyard." The Fourth Lady said stiffly.

Displeasure flashed across Wang Hao's eyes, and she looked at Ji Xinxue with dissatisfaction, "Xiao Wu is tired, how can I have the mood to talk to you? Why don't you stay with me today, and go to Xiao Wu tomorrow."

Ji Xinxue stood at the same spot with careful eyes, nose, nose and heart, and did not follow the hint of the princess to persuade the fourth lady.

Although the fourth lady is a child, she is well-bred. In Ji Xinxue's mind, she is more reliable than the princess, and besides, there is an elder sister who has never spoken.

The eldest sister didn't stop Si Niangzi, but agreed with Si Niangzi to leave with him.

Si Niangzi ignored Wang Hao's words at all, walked straight to Ji Xinxue's side, firmly grasped Ji Xinxue's arm and hugged her in her arms, her round eyes quietly turned into light pink, she looked very wronged.

Helplessness flashed across Ji Xinxue's eyes, she silently saluted the princess, then turned around and led the fourth lady to the door.

The princess slapped the low table beside her angrily, "You..."

The eldest lady interrupted the concubine's words at the right time, "Aniang, Xiao Wu can't sleep well after being exhausted. Since you love her, let her go back to rest earlier, you might as well love her more and reward her with a good soothing incense. "

The princess's guests also followed suit, "The princess is kind, not only did she raise County Mistress Xuanmin and Xuanming so well, but County Mistress Ningshu also has a bit of your bearing."

After hearing what the guests said, the concubine finally suppressed her anger, holding her breath and asked Aunt Lin to find An Shenxiang to send to Baimoyuan, and put her mind on the guests again.

This is the guest she invited after staying up all night.

They are both the wives of the fourth and fifth rank officials in Chang'an, and their purpose is to make a marriage arrangement for her Min Yan and the restless Ming Tong before Emperor Yanguang chooses to marry the princess.

Poor her, Min Yan, who is outstanding in everything, and is the eldest daughter of the king, even if she is married to a duke or marquis' mansion to be the mistress, she is more than enough, but now she has to choose a son-in-law in a hurry from the fourth-rank official and the fifth-rank official.

It would be great if the saint could die instantly.

The concubine turned pale with fright at the thought that came up in her mind by accident, and she was stunned for a while before she recovered under the call of the guests, and quickly suppressed the treasonous thoughts to the bottom of her heart, and casually used an excuse of palpitations to evade the concern of the guests.

"What do you think she thinks?" Si Niangzi stomped her feet angrily, "It's fine if you want me to marry back to her natal family, anyway, she loves anyone more than me, but she loves sister so much, she wants to marry me. Sister married into the family of a fourth-rank official?"

"Even if my sister chooses a son-in-law who doesn't choose a heroic descendant and a scholarly family, he still has to be a son of a poor family and a dragon and phoenix in the world!" The fourth lady came to a conclusion by breaking her fingers.

Ji Xinxue heard from Si Niangzi that the guests in Wangfei's courtyard were all the wives of fourth and fifth rank officials, and she felt that the princess was outrageous when she invited these people to see Da Niangzi and Si Niangzi.

It was precisely because she knew how outrageous this matter was that Ji Xinxue felt nothing.

Ji Xinxue will find it strange that one day the princess is not out of line and suddenly becomes wise.

"A noble son from a humble family?" Ji Xinxue came up with a blurry image of Kang... who had forgotten his name, and a strong vigilance flashed in his eyes, and asked tentatively, "What is a noble son from a humble family?"

After discovering that Si Niangzi's behavior in front of someone Kang was unusual, Emperor Yanguang became "seriously ill" and the Jinwu guards surrounded the palace. Ji Xinxue was worried about herself and Prince Jia's mansion all day long. Miss Kang?

When Ji Xinxue finally remembered Kang, Emperor Yanguang had already agreed to lift the ban on Kang, Chen, and Zheng by Emperor Qianyuan at the plea of ​​Concubine Liang, and appointed people from these three clans as officials.

Kang was the first to gain fame through his relationship with Concubine Liang, and he had already left Chang'an with his foreign father.

Si Niangzi took it for granted, "Of course it is Chu Zhuangyuan. Even if his parents are dead, he can only live in the uncle's house who is poor and treats him badly. Erlang."

Ji Xinxue secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face became a little more real. Yu Heng's grandfather was indeed a "noble son from a poor family".

The fourth lady was dissatisfied with Ji Xinxue's silence, she grabbed Ji Xinxue's shoulder and shook vigorously, "Say it! If she is really determined to marry me into the family of a fourth-rank official or a fifth-rank official, how can I have the face to go out to meet people?" ?”

Before the words were finished, tears were already streaming down Si Niangzi's face.

Ji Xinxue didn't expect Si Niangzi to be really worried about this matter, so she took out a handkerchief and wiped Si Niangzi's tears dumbfounded.

"Xuan Qi from Prince Li's Mansion was still showing off to me yesterday, and Prince Li is discussing marriage between her and the eldest son of the Duke of Qi. Will I not be able to lift my head when I see her in the future, and I can only listen to her scolding me." The fourth lady buried her head On Ji Xinxue's shoulders, she was very worried about her future status.

"What are you afraid of?" Ji Xinxue gently smoothed the fourth lady's hair, her voice became lower and lower, "Your marriage must have Aye's nod, and the princess will not count. When you get married, Aye will definitely invite you to marry me." Feng the princess, the princess is no worse than the wife of the prince of the Duke's mansion, why does Xuanqi county master look down on you?"

"Oh!" Si Niangzi tightly hugged Ji Xinxue's arm, nodded heavily, and suddenly became happy, "Then I will find the best-looking man to be my husband! I will raise him!"

Ji Xinxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he finally understood that Fourth Lady didn't seriously consider getting married at all.

For a while, he was worried that his status would be lowered after marriage, and for a while, he only cared about his husband's appearance.

It really is the face of the child in June, it rains now and then and then stops, there is no definite number.

After finally coaxing the fourth lady to smile again, Ji Xinxue took the fourth lady to the backyard to move the rabbits, and was pleasantly surprised to find that he had been away for nearly half a time. Although there were several big rabbits missing, there were more little rabbits that had left the nest. The total number of rabbits did not decrease but increased.

Playing in the backyard for an hour, the fourth lady grabbed a little white rabbit that had just left the nest, and was going to take it back to her yard to keep the little lamb as a companion.Ji Xinxue is holding the fat rabbit's ears, planning to eat spicy rabbit head, roasted rabbit legs, stewed rabbit steak at night...

Si Niangzi looked at Ji Xinxue with eyes full of condemnation, but when she ate the whole rabbit feast, her mouth was full of oil, and she finally burped.

Ji Xinxue sent away the fourth wife who had robbed most of his rabbits with a face full of speechlessness, secretly sad that there was another person who missed the rabbit, and took Qingyun to the front yard to find King Jia.

The sun almost completely set on the horizon, but King Jia hadn't returned home yet.

Ji Xinxue waited in the front yard until the curfew, and after confirming that King Jia would not return to the mansion today, she returned to Baimo Courtyard under the protection of the servants in the front yard.

After tossing and turning all night, Ji Xinxue got up later than usual, and before he had time to go to the main courtyard to confront King Jia, he was blocked by Mrs. Zhong in the Baimo courtyard.

Mrs. Zhong's mental state seemed to be fine, but there was a string of transparent blisters at the corner of her mouth.

Facing Mrs. Zhong's gaze, Ji Xinxue suddenly felt a little guilty. He was anxious to see King Jia after he came back, remembering to greet the princess, but consciously or unintentionally avoided Mrs. Zhong.

He also found an excellent excuse for himself, he was still trying to comfort the sad Fourth Lady.

In fact, I am a little afraid of Mrs. Zhong. I am afraid that Mrs. Zhong, like the princess, has not made any progress for many years. It stems from the good intentions for her children, but she does things that make her children feel extremely uncomfortable.

Not only did Mrs. Zhong not urge Ji Xinxue to get up, she even went to the small kitchen to cook easy-to-digest noodles for Ji Xinxue.

When Ji Xinxue was eating noodles, she found that Mrs. Zhong just looked at him quietly, and she felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

It's a pity that some things will come eventually. After Bi Juan took down the empty bowl, the lady Zhong who was silent for a long time said cautiously, "I heard that the princess is discussing marriage with the eldest lady and the fourth lady. Is your marriage settled?"

Ji Xinxue put her hands on her face and seriously considered Mrs. Zhong's suggestion.

If the clan girls are engaged in marriage during this period, there is really no problem with him and his cousin.

Mrs. Zhong thought that Ji Xinxue's silence was a refusal, she sighed, took Ji Xinxue's hand and persuaded softly, "Aniang knows that the family background of the Zhong family is not worthy of the king's family, you may feel wronged." But for marriage, the most important thing is to live a happy life. You have been looking for your uncle all these years. Don’t you like your uncle? Wouldn’t it be good for him to be your father-in-law? Twelve Lang will not let you down."

Ji Xinxue withdrew her hand silently, Mrs. Zhong has made great progress in fooling children, but unfortunately he is not a real child.

He likes his uncle very much, but it's not like he doesn't have a biological father.

In contrast, he still prefers his father.

Twelve Lang did treat him well, but he was destined to disappoint Twelve Lang.

"Oh, I will..." Ji Xinxue's face turned weird for a moment, and she forced herself to finish speaking, "I will go and tell Aye, 'I like my cousin, and I want to marry him.'"

After thinking about it for three years, he still doesn't know whether this matter is right or wrong, so it's better to leave it to King Jia to decide.

Mrs. Zhong immediately smiled, "Your uncle was promoted to half a rank last year, and he is only one step away from entering the threshold of fifth rank. I only hope that the princess will choose husbands for the eldest lady and fourth lady earlier, so that it will be your turn to get married soon." .”

Ji Xinxue couldn't even pull out a forced smile.

Let the concubine choose a son-in-law for the eldest lady and the fourth lady, I am afraid that it will not be settled for a long time.

"Don't worry, as long as you are willing, you, Aye, will definitely agree to this marriage." Mrs. Zhong held Ji Xinxue's hand tightly again.

Helplessness appeared in Ji Xinxue's eyes.

Where is he willing to do this, it is clear that he has to.

In the afternoon, Ji Xinxue heard the news of King Jia's return to his residence, and immediately went to pay his respects to King Jia.

There was a faint tiredness between King Jia's brows, but his mood didn't look bad.

Ji Xinxue deliberately described her life in Zhuangzi as childish and innocent, hoping to make King Jia happier.

Sensing the gradual softening of King Jia's expression, Ji Xinxue quietly took two steps back, and suddenly said, "Aye, are you planning to marry me?"

Jia Wang opened half-closed eyes to look at Ji Xinxue, with a kind smile on his lips, and said softly, "What are you asking this for? Is there someone you like?"

Ji Xinxue stubbornly suppressed the instinct of wanting to escape, endured the shame and said, "I like my uncle's cousin, and I want to marry Zhong Twelve Lang."

After not hearing King Jia's words for a while, Ji Xinxue quickly added, "I know I'm still young, I'm not old enough to get married, so it's fine to get engaged first."

Seeing that there was only tension and stiffness on Ji Xinxue's face, instead of shyness, Jiawang's expression softened slightly, "What did your aunt tell you?"

Ji Xinxue shook her head subconsciously, "No."

King Jia didn't believe it, but he didn't want to talk too much with Ji Xinxue, so he said flatly, "Go back, I will think about it."

Ji Xinxue quietly raised her head and glanced at King Jia, but didn't see any clues. She wanted to get a hint from Songnian, but found that Songnian was standing upright in the corner with his back to him.

Since King Jia's surrounding aura really didn't look like he was happy, Ji Xinxue didn't dare to pester him any more, and obediently left the front yard.

After saying that to King Jia, Ji Xinxue forgot about it.

He believed that King Jia would be more considerate than he and Mrs. Zhong.

A few days later, Ji Xinxue received the news that Mrs. Zhong went to the front yard to pay her respects to King Jia, causing King Jia to be furious.

Ji Xinxue hurried to the front yard, but Mrs. Zhong was no longer there, King Jia refused to see him.

He could only go to Qixia Courtyard again, but he still didn't see anyone.

The palace guards outside Qixia courtyard stopped Ji Xinxue, unless accompanied by Songnian or with King Jia's warrant, no one could enter Qixia courtyard, including Ji Xinxue.

Ji Xinxue chose the next best thing, and asked to see Nanny Li or Caizhu, but was also rejected by the guards of the palace.

He stood outside the Qixia Courtyard for a long time, and when it was time for meals, the guards of the royal residence went to the big kitchen to pick up the meal and delivered it to the Qixia Courtyard. He was relieved and then went to stand guard outside the front yard.

Until it was completely dark, King Jia did not see Ji Xinxue.

Songnian walked up to Ji Xinxue with a lantern that looked extraordinarily bright at night, and said softly, "Go back, Your Majesty will not have trouble with you because of her."

Ji Xinxue held Songnian's wrist, raised her head and looked at Songnian, "What happened?"

Songnian intentionally relaxed the muscles on his arms so that Ji Xinxue's hands wouldn't hurt if he exerted too much force, "I can only tell you that she came to see the king on her own initiative."

The strength in Ji Xinxue's hands gradually relaxed but she stubbornly refused to leave.

Song Nian tentatively broke off Ji Xinxue's fingers, stuffed the lantern into Ji Xinxue's hands, squatted down and looked directly into Ji Xinxue's eyes, "Your Majesty has been very tired from the affairs of the court recently, and I am so angry at her for being so busy today." You have a headache, and you can only fall asleep after drinking the medicine. I will send you back to Baimoyuan, so that the king can rest in peace, okay? The king will go to court tomorrow."

Ji Xinxue nodded silently, letting Songnian hold his hand and turned to Baimoyuan.

Two days later, King Jia called Zhong Kan to the palace, and asked Ji Xinxue to go to the front yard.

He told Zhong Kan and Ji Xinxue that Mrs. Zhong had a sudden illness and should not be disturbed by anyone while recuperating in Qixia Hospital.

Zhong Kan and Ji Xinxue looked at each other speechlessly, acquiescing to what King Jia said.

After these two days of calmness, Ji Xinxue has roughly guessed the reason why Mrs. Zhong was placed under house arrest again.

Ms. Zhong was probably dissatisfied with King Jia's delay in nodding to his marriage with Zhong Twelve Lang, so she desperately went to find King Jia, threatening King Jia because he was a young man, and forced King Jia to marry him to Twelve Lang.

Now, if it is revealed that Ji Xinxue is Mr. Xiaolang, the first person to die must be Mrs. Zhong.

Because King Jia wants to ensure that he is 'unaware', the 'unaware' King Jia may not be implicated, but the other children of the 'unaware' Jiawang have a high probability of surviving.

Based on this alone, King Jia couldn't tolerate Miss Zhong.

He didn't deal with Mrs. Zhong directly, because Ji Xinxue had grown up and remembered things, and Zhong Kan would be of great use in the future.

Seeing that Zhong Kan and Ji Xinxue had no objection to his words, Jia Wang's tense face eased a little, and he said straight to the point, "I have to think about Xiao Wu's marriage again, you don't want to discuss marriage with Twelve Lang."

Zhong Kan responded calmly, "Twelve Lang is dull and easily distracted by other things. I originally planned to let him concentrate on studying and discuss marriage for him after he is crowned."

After hearing Zhong Kan's words, Ji Xinxue's guilt towards her cousin subsided slightly.

There are still eight years before his cousin reaches the crown, and the bad old man in the palace will definitely not be able to survive that long, and the dust will basically be settled for his future by then.

Although it is still possible to cheat the cousin, at least there will be no series of twists and turns.

King Jia was also very satisfied with Zhong Kan's answer, so he took off the jade pendant around his waist and handed it to Zhong Kan, asking Zhong Kan to take the jade pendant back to Zhong Twelve Lang, and allowing Zhong Twelve Lang to take the jade pendant in and out of the palace and serve him in his spare time. Organize paperwork.

Ji Xinxue was afraid that Mrs. Zhong would be neglected in Qixia Courtyard, so she sent Aunt Hua and Aunt Ye to deliver things to Mrs. Zhong every now and then, and specially asked Zhang Siyi to collect rare books on the market, and sent them to Qixia Courtyard to relieve Mrs. Zhong's boredom.

When Ji Xinxue went to the front yard to pay respects to King Jia, while King Jia was not paying attention, Song Nianhui secretly told Ji Xinxue that Mrs. Zhong had gained weight or lost weight recently, and even secretly stuffed Ji Xinxue with a handkerchief embroidered by Mrs. Zhong herself. son.

Apart from not being able to go to Hanzhuyuan to attend classes or see Mrs. Zhong, Ji Xinxue's life is no different from before.

Ji Xinxue gradually turned from restless to calm.

Yu Heng gradually turned from calm to anxious.

The prince of Qinghe County was right. Mohe besieged Jizhou Pass and Pingzhou Pass for a long time but could not break through the city gates, and there were already signs of weakness.

The courtiers resolutely disagreed with Emperor Yanguang's peace negotiation with Mohe, and were continuing the process of hitting the stake, being imprisoned, released from prison, going to the court, and hitting the stake. The number of courtiers in the court was decreasing more and more slowly.

Obviously the situation is getting better gradually, but Yu Heng can't be happy.

"Prince Zhong! Zhong Twelve-Lang has gone to King Jia's Mansion again!" Qingzhu ran to Yu Heng's side from a young age, and said sadly, "Zhong Twelve-Lang has appeared in King Jia's Mansion for three consecutive days, and he was taken out by King Jia yesterday, you How can you still sit still!"

Anxiety appeared between Yu Heng's brows, and she spoke much faster than usual, "I asked Ah Xue if she had a sweetheart, and she said no."

Despair appeared in Qingzhu's eyes.

He knew how the king of the small county asked Ningshu county magistrate.

I transcribed the poems of the predecessors that alluded to the phoenix seeking the phoenix, and asked the county master Ningshu if he felt it.

County Lord Ningshu had a feeling when he returned to Xiaojun Wang, and ordered someone to kill two chickens overnight.

One is braised in brown sauce and the other is steamed.

Qingzhu gave up speculating on the idea of ​​going to Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue a long time ago, and he persuaded Yu Heng earnestly, "Your Majesty, marriage is a matter of two surnames, don't just ask the county magistrate, the county magistrate can't go beyond King Jia to decide your own marriage."

Take a look at Zhong Twelve Lang, he can freely enter and leave the Jiawang Mansion!

If you don't do anything else, people might one day be able to freely enter and leave the White Mo Academy under King Jia's nose.

The mist in Yu Heng's eyes gradually dissipated, and he suddenly realized why he was so anxious these days.

He stood up abruptly, looked at Qingzhu with burning eyes, "Go to the warehouse to pick out some good gifts, let's go find Azu and Uncle."

Puzzled flashed in Qingzhu's eyes, Xiaojun Wang is not stupid, even though he seldom went to Hanzhuyuan to attend classes, he never got a grade other than 'A' in the assessment.

Why are you so clueless about this matter!

"I want to ask Azu and Uncle to be matchmakers for me, and go to Prince Jia's Mansion to propose marriage!" Yu Heng's words were sonorous and forceful.

What Qingzhu said is right, even if two people are in love with each other, the words of the matchmaker must be ordered by the parents.

As long as it's Ah Xue, it doesn't matter whether the relationship comes first or the marriage contract comes first.
