I was a princess in ancient times

Ji Xinxue was in good spirits, and took the initiative to hold King Jia's hand, intending to walk back to Baimo Academy by herself.

At the beginning, it was still Jia Wang who was pulling Ji Xinxue, but when he could vaguely see the gate of Baimo Academy, it was Ji Xinxue who was pulling Jia Wang to walk forward.

The servants of Baimoyuan knew that the little masters of the palace had suffered in the palace, and after seeing Ji Xinxue, surprise appeared on their faces, although they dared not speak to Ji Xinxue because of King Jia's majesty, they couldn't help it. Put your eyes on Ji Xinxue.

The servant in charge of raising the chickens and rabbits specially put all the naughty chickens and rabbits into cages, leaving only the docile ones outside.

Ji Xinxue took Jiawang directly to the room where he had the fungus bowl, skillfully removed the bed board, went to the cabinet next to the bed and took out a rabbit leather glove, put it on his hand, put the toadstool bowl and the green bamboo from last time The porcelain pots containing oil were taken out and placed neatly in front of King Jia.

During the rest of the first ten days of the month, Qingzhu sent six cans of vegetable oil, and Ji Xinxue put the beans covered with toxins into the oil cans before returning to the palace.

In order to let King Jia feel more intuitively how hard he was trying to kill the magic medicine, Ji Xinxue deliberately removed the lids of all the oil tanks.

Colonies have grown in four of the six jars, and only two oil tanks are in better condition. The beans in one of the oil tanks are no different from before, and the mold on the beans in the other oil tank has significantly reduced.

"Aye, this is the magic medicine!" Ji Xinxue pointed to the poisonous fungus bowl, and gestured to the porcelain jars of oil placed together, "These are vegetable oils used to try to kill the magic medicine."

King Jia stared at the toadstool bowl with a fixed gaze, his expression becoming more and more serious.

He was wrong, after hearing what Xiao Wu said about the 'miracle medicine', he shouldn't be in a hurry to find a monk or Taoist priest to see if Xiao Wu is possessed by evil spirits, and he shouldn't ask Mr. Tang to see if Xiao Wu has been tricked by evil moves. It's time to find Doctor Liu to check whether Xiao Wu has hit his head.

Ji Xinxue didn't know what King Jia was thinking, but he felt Jia Wang's suspicion from Jia Wang's reaction. He followed Jia Wang's frozen eyes and looked at the poisonous mushroom bowl, with a faint embarrassment on his face.

He started trying to grow toadstools three years ago, and he used this bowl from beginning to end.

Bacteria, how can it be clean?

After three years of accumulation, this bowl does look a bit...

The oil in the wide-mouthed short porcelain jar was not much better either, no matter how it looked, it looked like something just found out of a long-abandoned kitchen.

As a miracle medicine, it is too down-to-earth.

"Aye, I'm going to catch a rabbit. You can see the effect of the magic medicine." Ji Xinxue immediately thought of a remedy, took off the rabbit leather gloves and threw them on the ground, and ran into the yard in a hurry.

Song Nian didn't hear the conversation between the father and son, but was confused when he saw the dirty bowls and jars all over the floor. He was worried that Ji Xinxue would be played by the rabbit because of lack of energy, so he hurriedly followed him out.

Only Queen Jia was left in the room, and the disgust on Jia Wang's face became more and more obvious. He silently took two steps back, distanced himself from the neatly placed mold bowls and open oil tanks.

After Ji Xinxue ran to the yard, he took out the fresh grass blades given to him by his servants from his wide sleeves.

This kind of grass is especially liked by rabbits, and within a few breaths, Ji Xinxue was surrounded by rabbits.

He touched the belly and buttocks of the rabbits one by one, and chose the fattest rabbit.

Seeing that Ji Xinxue was shaken by the frantically struggling rabbit, Song Nian quickly reached out, "Catch the rabbit for the magistrate."

Ji Xinxue shook his head, carried the rabbit with difficulty and ran into the house, eager to show King Jia the power of the magic medicine, he could already imagine King Jia's stunned look.

Tired and dizzy, Ji Xinxue didn't even notice Jiawang's dislike for the poison bowl. He tore off the jade pendant around his waist, separated the jade from the string hanging on the jade with one hand, and threw the jade on the bed. Come tie the rabbit legs.

Unfortunately, the rabbit was in place, and Ji Xinxue realized that he forgot to look for chopsticks, and ran to the yard to break two thin branches and came back.

In order to achieve the effect of shocking King Jia, Ji Xinxue was very willing to use the few remaining molds. He wrapped the rabbit's favorite fresh grass leaves on the chopsticks, put them into the toxin bowl and stirred frantically, watching the grass leaves covered with yellow spots , before holding the chopsticks close to the mouth of the hapless rabbit.

The unlucky rabbit ate the blade of grass delivered to its mouth without hesitation, without resisting from the beginning to the end, and even stretched out its head to chase the blade of grass left on the chopsticks when Ji Xinxue deliberately retracted the chopsticks.

"Don't hug!" Jia Wang, who had been silently watching Ji Xinxue's movements, found that Ji Xinxue still wanted to hug the dirty rabbit, and immediately stopped him, "What do you say, let Songnian do it for you."

Ji Xinxue withdrew her hand graciously, "Untie the rope binding the rabbit's legs, and then put the rabbit in the yard."

Only in this way can King Jia see the sudden sudden death of the rabbit who had been acting as if nothing had happened.

Ji Xinxue not only wanted King Jia to go to the yard with him to watch the sudden sudden death of the rabbit, but also wanted to tell King Jia how he experimented to find whether the oil could kill the magic medicine, so he stood there and fell into hesitation.

Seeing Ji Xinxue frequently looking at him and the dirty bowls and jars on the ground, Jia Wang was afraid that Ji Xinxue wanted him to touch those dirty things, so he pinched his brows and said, "The magic medicine is dangerous, don't touch it. Let Songnian help... Tell Songnian to find someone to listen to your orders."

The unlucky rabbit that regained its freedom mixed into the rabbit group as if nothing had happened, and was always looking for food in the grass in the yard because it was not full.

Jia Wang took the wet handkerchief from Song Nian's hand, and wiped Ji Xinxue's hands himself, not only paying special attention to the position of the fingers, even the gaps between the fingernails, he insisted on wiping Ji Xinxue's little white hands into little red hands .Seeing the servants walking over with dirty bowls and jars placed on the floor of the house, Jia Wang simply hugged Ji Xinxue, completely preventing Ji Xinxue from touching the dirty bowls and jars again.

"Aye, within an hour at most, the rabbit will die suddenly." Ji Xinxue whispered into King Jia's ear.

King Jia responded casually, and suddenly asked, "Are you lying?"

Ji Xinxue secretly said, "Sure enough", because she didn't know where the flaw in King Jia's eyes was, she didn't dare to defend immediately, and looked at King Jia innocently and obediently.

He thought he could save it again.

In a short period of time, Jia Wang has combined Ji Xinxue's dream and the dirty bowl to find a reasonable logic and explanation for the rabbit that will die suddenly after taking the magic medicine.

Ji Xinxue first had an inexplicable dream. Under the guidance of the "immortal", she sneaked into the small kitchen of Baimoyuan. With the ability to remove the bed board with her bare hands, she found a Mai Tai bowl in a corner of the small kitchen that had been forgotten for a long time. , met the dream by mistake.

The so-called thinking day by day, dreaming at night, after Ji Xinxue experimented with the "miracle medicine" with rabbits, he dreamed of "immortals" again, and had messy thoughts again. It was a coincidence that he used soaked beans to get more dirty things.

A series of coincidences led Ji Xinxue to believe in Meng so deeply that Ji Xinxue's current misunderstanding came about.

King Jia looked at Ji Xinxue, and said slowly, "You don't hold an empty bowl at the designated position and see the magic medicine appearing at the bottom of the bowl with your own eyes. But when you find the empty bowl, there is dirt in the empty bowl... the magic medicine .”

As for why Ji Xinxue lied about such details, Jia Wang also had a reasonable guess.

Ji Xinxue believed in the two dreams so deeply that she was so stubborn that she would subconsciously beautify the content of the dream and the process of verifying the dream to prevent others from denying it.

Recall that Ji Xinxue used words when describing her first dream.

The magic medicine can suppress the evils that eat away at Dayu's national destiny.

Three years ago, when the news of Emperor Yanguang's critical illness spread and caused turmoil in the country, Ji Xinxue read too many story books, and it was understandable that the troubled times were caused by evil things.

Ji Xinxue didn't want to hastily answer this question when he didn't know what King Jia was thinking, so he hugged King Jia's neck like a fool and buried his head on King Jia's shoulder, hoping that King Jia would reveal more information to him.

However, King Jia patted Ji Xinxue's head and said nothing. When he looked at the rabbit that was still alive and kicking, his eyes were very complicated.

The long silence gradually eroded Ji Xinxue's clarity. He nestled on King Jia's shoulder and became more sleepy, and his breathing became calmer.

After all, there was still something in his mind, Ji Xinxue woke up suddenly within two hours of sleep, he stared blankly at the bed curtain, and gradually wanted to understand who he was and where he was.

"Aye?" Ji Xinxue suddenly turned over and sat up.

Hearing the sound, the person who came over was not King Jia, but the green silk from the embroidery shed, "County Lord, Your Majesty has already returned to the main courtyard."

"Huh?" Ji Xinxue immediately lowered her head to look for her shoes, "Is the rabbit in the backyard okay? What did Aye take with him when he left? The ones in the backyard room..."

The anxiety on Ji Xinxue's face stopped and gradually became calm.

He relaxed his body and let himself slump on the bed.

When you decided to make up a story and hand over the toadstool to Jiawang, didn't you make up your mind to let Jiawang deal with the toxins?Why should he bother.

No matter what decision Jia Wang made, it would not affect Jia Wang's position in his heart.

"County Lord?" Panic appeared on Bijuan's face, she lifted the bed curtain without thinking to touch Ji Xinxue's forehead, and was relieved when she found that the temperature was normal.

She was angry but couldn't bear to speak harshly to Ji Xinxue again, but she showed some displeasure when answering Ji Xinxue's question, and spoke much faster than usual, "There is no rabbit in the backyard, but it was taken away by Song Nian's inner prisoner." Can't be cremated to leave the bones. When the king left, the servant behind the king took away a cabinet, which looked like a bedside cabinet in the backyard. County lord, what else do you want to ask?"

A contented smile appeared on Ji Xinxue's face, "Go and see how Yu Heng and Third Sister are doing, and then ask the small kitchen to make me a bowl of noodles, and put more spicy peppers in the cold salad."

Seeing that Ji Xinxue's mood improved, Bijuan also smiled, and responded to Ji Xinxue's words crisply.

Ji Xinxue stretched her waist, stepped on the shoes that Bijuan had found for him before leaving, went to the ground, first went to see the two red carps kept in the porcelain basin, fed the red carps, and then rummaged through the dowry.

The atmosphere in the palace is becoming more and more unpredictable, he can't bring sharp weapons into the palace, so wearing a sharper hairpin is no problem, right?

Ji Xinxue chose thousands of times and found two silver hairpins that were only the size of his palm.

Because it is a secondary hairpin, the silver hairpin is not only small in size but also very ordinary in style, but the material is very solid. It will never happen that the hairpin is hollow only after grinding it.

When Bijuan came back from the door, annoyance also appeared on her face, "The small kitchen knew that you were going out of the palace today, but decided to turn off the fire and clean it temporarily. When I went there, there was no place to step down."

Ji Xinxue compared the selected silver hairpins on her head, only to find that the bun was messed up and there was nowhere to start.

"It's just a trivial matter, why bother to be angry?" Ji Xinxue smiled, and waved to Bijuan at the bronze mirror, "I'll go to the front yard to meet Aye's chef later, you come and comb my hair first."

In order not to make the two silver hairpins appear obtrusive, Ji Xinxue fell into deep thought when facing the hairpins, hairpins, step shakers, and headbands in the make-up dowry, and finally turned her gaze to the drawer that he had hardly opened

In the drawer are five silk flowers that can be mistaken for real.

In the end, Ji Xinxue still didn't dare to wear silk flowers, so she could only ask Bijuan to fasten two more wigs on her head, use a pair of gold hairpins inlaid with pearls of various colors to press down the silver hairpins, and go to the front yard with a slightly heavy bun .

Walking to the front yard door, Ji Xinxue happened to bump into the servant at the gatehouse talking back and forth.

Fuwei Qi and his wife are at the side door of the palace, trying to pick up Yu Heng.

"Tell them that Yu Heng is still awake, wait until he wakes up." Ji Xinxue ordered.

Watching the porter's servant leave, Ji Xinxue stepped into the gate of the main courtyard.

Since the prince of England was abolished three years ago, the British government has been in constant drama.

The extremely inconspicuous second son Qi Fuwei suddenly became a popular candidate for the new British prince.

The former prince of England and Princess Yiyun stubbornly occupied the positions of the eldest son and wife of the Qi family and refused to retreat. With the support of the two of them, the king of Xinyang County, Qi could only hold his nose and bear it.

Even Qi Sima, who is far away in Yuanzhou, has attracted much attention because he is the son of a legitimate son and has a son of a county king, and has won the support of many members of the Qi clan.

Even if these people played their minds in the British government, Ji Xinxue would just watch it as a joke, but they often put their ideas on Yu Heng, trying to get Yu Heng to judge them.

Ji Xinxue was so angry that she almost suggested that Yu Heng let the concierge of Princess An's mansion keep two wolfdogs.

He doesn't care about the affairs of Princess An Guo's mansion, and wants to take him away in Prince Jia's mansion?

dream!

Knowing that San Niangzi had woken up and that King Jia was accompanying San Niangzi, Ji Xinxue turned and went to the room where Yu Heng was placed.He originally wanted to eat after seeing Yu Heng, but when he just walked to the bedside, he found that Yu Heng was staring at the bed curtain in a daze with open eyes.

"Axue?" Yu Heng turned to look at Ji Xinxue blankly, her voice was extremely hoarse.

Ji Xinxue nodded, wanting to open the seat beside the bed so that the green silk holding the teacup could feed Yu Heng water, but when she turned around, Yu Heng held her arm.

Yu Heng was two years younger than Ji Jingyu, and even though Ji Jingyu was collapsed in the palace, Yu Heng was able to leave the palace because of his persistent martial arts practice in the cold and heat.

Although he doesn't look strong, his strength is far from that of Ji Xinxue who has no strength to restrain a chicken.

Ji Xinxue was caught off guard and dragged down, and fell to sit next to Yu Heng's lap.

He didn't want to bother with the people who hadn't woken up yet, so he simply moved into the bed again, giving Bi Juan the chance to get close to Yu Heng.

Yu Heng stood up, took the teacup and drank it down. When he wanted to talk to Ji Xinxue, he realized that he was still holding Ji Xinxue's arm, and quickly let go, with a shy look in his eyes, "Axue"

Ji Xinxue was amused by Yu Heng's appearance of only recognizing people and not being able to speak, so she started to talk about the business, "When I came just now, I heard Deputy Captain Qi and Mrs. Zheng waiting at the side door, wanting to pick you up to England The government. I'll let them tell them that you haven't woken up yet. I'll wait until you wake up. I don't know if they're still there."

"Where is this?" Yu Heng turned his head to look left and right.

When he opened his eyes and saw Ji Xinxue, he immediately calmed down and didn't care about the surrounding environment at all. '

The left and right are the usual decorations in Mr. Xiaolang's room. Looking at the valuable and different styles of decorations on the treasure shelf, you can know that this is an owner's room.

"It's in Prince Jia's Mansion. This room is where my second brother takes a nap in the front yard. Don't worry, my second brother is usually generous and won't mind if you fix it here." Ji Xinxue couldn't bear the tingling pain on her leg, and stretched out her hand to Yu Heng pushed in, "Lean in, let me crooked too, if you don't straighten your legs, it will be useless."

Yu Heng subconsciously rolled into the bed and stopped until his back pressed against the wall.

Ji Xinxue stretched out her limbs, sighed contentedly, turned her head to find Yu Heng pitifully huddled against the wall, and said with a smile, "Why are you hiding so far, it's not when you squeeze me gone?"

How can that be the same?

Yu Heng shook his head, moved towards Ji Xinxue's direction, and still kept a punch distance from Ji Xinxue.

Seeing that Yu Heng was able to stretch her limbs, Ji Xinxue turned to ask about the affairs of Yu Heng's palace.

Concubine De can only provide people who live in her palace with invigorating medicine and tranquilizing medicine, and Yu Heng, who lives with Ji Jingyu, can only endure it.

"Everyone is struggling, for fear that they will fall asleep and miss the time to leave the palace." Yu Heng smiled wryly, "Ji Cheng couldn't bear it first, and then Brother Yu and I, thanks to Li Jinhuan's firm will and always reminding me not to sleep. to persevere.”

Li Jinhuan's energy is limited, and he can only remind one person that he chose Yu Heng, so he has no way to control Ji Jingyu.

Ji Xinxue nodded, only worried that Ji Jingyu would be upset when she woke up and found that she missed the time to leave the palace, and not worried that Ji Jingyu would be neglected after she fell into a coma.

King Jia was right, before the prayers were completed, there was a high probability that Emperor Yanguang would not cause accidents to those who prayed for him, otherwise he would not have sent the imperial doctors to Prince Li's residence when Da Langjun had a high fever. Da Lang Jun diagnosis and treatment.

There is still Concubine De in the palace, although there is no way to see Ji Jingyu, taking care of Ji Jingyu is not a problem.

"Are you going to pay respects to Azu and uncle later?" Ji Xinxue started to feel sleepy again, her voice gradually became softer.

Yu Heng grabbed the quilt and pulled Ji Xinxue's body, "Go, tell them about Ji Cheng's situation, so that they can rest assured."

Needless to say, Qinghe County King and Qinghe County Prince's son saw Yu Heng's listless appearance, so they could guess what Ji Cheng was like.

Ji Xinxue suddenly feels sorry for Yu Heng.

The people from Prince Jia's Mansion, Ji Cheng and Li Jinhuan all had to go out of the palace after going through a lot of hardships, but Yu Heng didn't even have anyone he wanted to meet, and his visit to see Prince Qinghe and Prince Qinghe's son was just to repay Ji Cheng Safety.

In the past, the Qinghe County King and Qinghe County Prince's son sent Yu Heng so much, but they didn't send anyone to Jiawang Mansion to check on Yu Heng's situation. It can be seen that Yu Heng is far inferior to Ji Cheng in their hearts.

"County Lord, General Lin heard that the county king is awake and wants to see the county king." Bi Juan whispered.

When Ji Xinxue heard the words, it occurred to her that Yu Heng still had Princess An's Mansion to take care of her. Maybe she was struggling to leave the palace because she had something to tell the people in Princess An's Mansion.

Fortunately, there are still people in Princess An's Mansion who take Yu Heng seriously.

"You go, go directly to Qinghe County Prince's Mansion or accompany me to eat before leaving?" Ji Xinxue sat up to make room for Yu Heng to get out of bed, "I originally planned to let the small kitchen make a bowl of cold noodles, but now I think I'm so hungry, I plan to order a few more dishes, spicy rabbit head, sweet and sour pork ribs, boiled fish..."

Emperor Yanguang didn't like strong dishes and didn't allow other people in the palace to eat them. When Ji Xinxue mentioned the dishes, all the dishes with strong tastes were in his mind, and many of them were only prepared by cooks who had been trained by Ji Xinxue.

Yu Heng nodded immediately, "You wait for a while, I'll be back later."

Ji Xinxue really wanted to sleep, but he suddenly thought of wearing the silver hairpin into the palace and freshly combed hair, so he could only struggle against the drowsiness, so he went back to the next room and wrote a letter to tell Bi Juan that he was safe. Send it to Qixia courtyard.

When Lin Zhao saw Yu Heng, the seriousness on his face eased a little.

He is not a delicate person, neither can he tell how much he is worried about Yu Heng, nor will he ask Yu Heng knowingly after finding out the process of Taixue's class.

After greeting Yu Heng, he didn't know what to say, so he could only stand quietly in front of Yu Heng, waiting for Yu Heng's explanation.

It's a pity that Yu Heng has nothing to say to Lin Zhao.

The two looked at each other silently for a while, but it was Lin Zhao who spoke first.

Lin Zhao took out a wooden knife from his bosom and tied it around Yu Heng's waist, and said in a low voice, "This is the mahogany knife presented by Zuowei Zhonglang to Rong Chong. His elder brother is serving as the general of Jinwuwei. You take this with you. Dao, the people of the Jinwu Guard will be more polite to you."

Although the logic is ridiculous, in the eyes of Jinwuwei, it is true that people who can have a relationship with General Jinwuwei are more worthy of awe than the county king.

Yu Heng picked up the wooden knife and played with it, pinning his fingers on the blade to feel the dull pain, "Give the token of the left guard to Rong Chong, I will write a document recommending Lin Qi as the general of the right guard, and you send the document to the official department yourself."

"The king of the county is wise." Lin Zhao's eyes flashed with emotion.

In just three years, the little county king has grown up.

Lin Zhao was born as a servant of the Princess Mansion. He was able to serve as the right guard general because of the promotion of Princess An and the old princess. Therefore, he was loyal to the Princess Mansion and left his family in the fief. He went to Chang'an alone to take care of Yu. Heng.

In the documents of the Ministry of Officials, Lin Zhao is always the general of the right guard, and only temporarily leads the left guard.

Yu Heng asked Lin Zhao to give the token of the left guard to Rong Chong, which was equivalent to promising the general of the left guard to Rong Chong, and he was willing to give Lin Qi, who had been in charge of the right guard for Lin Zhao temporarily for three years, the opportunity to officially become the general of the right guard.

Not only received Rong Chong's kindness, but also took advantage of the opportunity to win over the Rong family, and let Lin Zhao get his wish.

Although the method is still immature, it can make people who are loyal to the Princess Mansion see a different kind of hope.

Yu Heng was not very happy, he knew that Lin Zhao would leave him sooner or later and return to the fief for retirement.

His current decision will make 'sooner or later' come sooner.

At the latest, when Lin Zhao completely handed over the left guard to Rong Chong, he would have no reason to stop Lin Zhao from reuniting with his family.

Lin Zhao waited for a long time without waiting for more orders from Yu Heng, and finally he was sure that Yu Heng would rather pass out than leave the palace just because he wanted to leave the palace, not to explain anything.

There was pity in his eyes, and he said to Yu Heng, "If the county king has nothing important to do, there is no need to force himself out of the palace."

A smile suddenly appeared on Yu Heng's stern face, which finally dispelled the melancholy that Lin Zhao would leave him sooner or later, "I guess Ah Xue will definitely insist on leaving the palace."

That's why he made the effort to go out of the palace, and wanted to meet Ji Xinxue in front of the palace gate. If he was lucky enough, he might be able to meet Ji Xinxue twice.

His luck was better than expected.

Lin Zhao suddenly had nothing to say.

Hearing that Yu Heng planned to go to Qinghe County King's Mansion to report Ji Cheng's safety, Lin Zhao hurriedly said, "It's fine for the county king to tell me about Mr. Cheng, and I will go to Qinghe County King to pay his respects later. The prince of Qinghe County was also at the gate of the palace this morning. Besides, I heard that you were taken away by King Jia after you passed out, and specifically asked me to take good care of you so that you don't have to worry about him and King Qinghe."

When the meal was served, not only Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were on the table, but Jia Wang and San Niangzi also came to look for it.

After Jiawang moved his chopsticks, the others began to pick up the dishes.

Yu Heng skillfully pinched out the big thorns in the belly of the fish, put the most delicious part of the fish into Ji Xinxue's bowl, and suddenly felt a real gaze on his face.

He looked up subconsciously, and was looking into Shang Jia Wang's smiling eyes.

Yu Heng thought for a while, got up without a teacher, and put the remaining fish maw into the empty bowl in front of King Jia.

King Jia felt even more panicked, "The fish belly was given to me and Xiao Wu, what will you and Jingrou eat?"

Yu Heng looked at the fish whose stomach had been emptied, picked up the spare chopsticks, and used his left and right hands simultaneously to turn the fish over with little effort.

He brought the flipped fish to San Niangzi's hand, "Sister San, eat fish."

The third lady was fighting with Ji Xinxue, when she suddenly heard a voice next to her ear, she raised her head subconsciously.Seeing Yu Heng who was close at hand unexpectedly, she quickly raised the veil to cover her mouth, fearing that Yu Heng would laugh at her for gobbling it up.

Seeing the fish brought to her by Yu Heng in a blink of an eye, San Niangzi said, "Aye and I don't eat fish, Xiao Wu likes it."

Yu Heng looked at King Jia blankly.

The third lady was only focused on grabbing the food just now, and didn't pay attention to the conversation between King Jia and Yu Heng. Seeing Yu Heng looking at King Jia, she also looked at King Jia.

Ji Xinxue found that the chopsticks that always competed with him for food disappeared, and he was the only one serving food at the whole dinner table. She raised her head blankly, and followed Yu Heng and San Niangzi's eyes to look at King Jia.

Jia Wang clenched his chopsticks tightly and said in a muffled voice, "What do you see me doing? Eat!"

After all, no matter what other people's reactions were, he picked up the fish belly in the bowl and put it into his mouth.

Ji Xinxue turned her eyes away from King Jia, and her eyes lit up when she saw Yu Heng, "Yu Heng, bring the fish here."

Seeing that King Jia and San Niangzi didn't stop him, Yu Heng brought the fish back to Ji Xinxue.

Ji Xinxue remembered that she had just eaten fish, picked up the serving chopsticks and directly took out the fish belly and put it into Yu Heng's bowl, and she saw the hole on the other side of the fish.

"Hey?" The third lady saw that King Jia's face was normal, thinking that King Jia had changed his habit of not eating fish, and continued to compete with Ji Xinxue for food.

Although the dishes on the table are not gone after eating, the dishes that are snatched are more fragrant.

After everyone concentrated on eating, Song Nian walked over to Jia Wang silently with a spicy ginger tea in his hand.

Jia Wang saw the pain flashing in Jiang Cha's eyes, but the vague fishy smell in his mouth made him even more painful. He glanced at Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng who were serving each other's food again, took a sip of ginger tea and left When he finished, he picked up the serving chopsticks and concentrated on serving dishes to San Niangzi.

When sending everyone back to the palace, King Jia asked them to bring some snacks made by the cooks of the palace for those who failed to leave the palace.

After watching the three people enter the palace gate, King Jia stood there for a long time before riding his horse back to the residence.

Under the guidance of Song Nian, the extremely inconspicuous servant quietly entered King Jia's study room, knelt in front of King Jia and said in a low voice, "My lord, I have fed the beans from the six oil tanks to pigs of the same size. , and now there are only two pigs left alive."

Jia Wang raised his index finger and tapped it on the table regularly, he didn't speak for a long time.

The people who came to answer couldn't bear the increasingly oppressive atmosphere in the study room, so they couldn't help but quietly raised their heads to look at King Jia. Facing King Jia's sharp gaze, he subconsciously knocked his head hard on the ground, making an extremely loud noise. Heavy muffled sound.

King Jia withdrew his gaze, ordered his servants to feed the Mai Tai in the bowl with soaked beans, continued to observe the two live pigs, and asked the veterinarian to treat the pigs.

After the servant left, Jia Wang reclined on the rocking chair behind the screen.

The next servant who entered the door spoke back to King Jia through the screen, "Return to Your Majesty, I have thoroughly searched the small kitchen of Baimo Courtyard, and only found bowls with dust, but no bowls with spots."

Jia Wang's indifferent voice sounded from the other side of the screen, "Did you go too early before the bowl had time to grow spots?"

The servant was dizzy from King Jia's question, but he didn't dare to let King Jia wait for him to answer, so he could only honestly say, "I don't know."

King Jia smiled without warning, his mood seemed to be getting better gradually, "Go on, and pay more attention to the kitchens of all courtyards in the future, no dusty or speckled things are allowed."

The servant kowtowed again, "Yes, the servant will frequently check the kitchens of each courtyard."

After Ji Xinxue returned to the palace, the aftereffects of drinking the refreshment medicine as water gradually appeared, and she was drowsy for three days before gradually returning to normal.

During this period, the eldest lady, the fourth lady and the sixth lady had to rest and recuperate first, and tried their best to talk to Ji Xinxue and the third lady when they were awake, so as to keep them awake for as long as possible.

Ji Xinxue had just recuperated when it was time for the next class.

As Jia Wang said, there was a five-day gap between this class and the last class, and at the end there were three kneelings and nine knockings.

The incense that Ji Xinxue paid special attention to was the same as last time, the rich fruity fragrance, and the scriptures were also the same as before, but the person who supervised everyone's prayers changed from Mo Yao to General Jinwuwei.

Mo Yao's absence made everyone who had cast a shadow over Mo Yao heave a sigh of relief. Although they still didn't dare to be lazy and play tricks, at least they didn't have to worry about getting killed all the time.

After the fourth class, Ji Xinxue failed to return to Prince Jia's Mansion.

It wasn't because Emperor Yanguang took the time before Xiumu to toss people again, causing Ji Xinxue to miss the time to leave the palace, but because he left Chang'an in a carriage at dawn.

Before the fourth class, Emperor Yanguang, who had not appeared in the court for many days, suddenly appeared and announced that he would take his concubines, princes, students of Taixue, courtiers and their families to hunt mountains to escape the summer heat.

The word "Lieshan" struck the heads of the courtiers like a thunderbolt. What they cared most about was not what Emperor Yanguang was going to toss about, but whether the Lieshan Mountain that Emperor Yanguang said was the Lieshan Mountain they knew.

There is a hunting mountain three days away from Chang'an, which is the royal hunting place delineated by Emperor Wuning. When the Yu Dynasty was first established, Emperor Wuning would take his concubines, princes, courtiers and family members to the hunting mountain every year to hunt.

This habit continued until the death of Emperor Qianyuan.

The last Lieshan siege was the last year of Emperor Qianyuan's life. The remnants of the previous dynasty besieged Lieshan and almost killed all the children of Emperor Qianyuan, leaving only Emperor Jianxing and King Yuan as his heirs to choose from.

When King Yuan came to the throne, he ordered the withdrawal of all the horses around Lieshan, and the idea of ​​abandoning Lieshan was very obvious.

After Emperor Jianxing ascended the throne, he never mentioned hunting mountains, and every five years he led his family and courtiers to hunt elsewhere.

Emperor Yanguang has been on the throne for 21 years, and he has never mentioned Lieshan.

If it weren't for the bad influence that Lieshan had brought to the Yu Dynasty, the courtiers would have almost forgotten the existence of Lieshan.

The Lie Mountain where Emperor Yanguang went to escape the summer heat is the well-known Lie Mountain.

The courtiers couldn't understand why Emperor Yanguang proposed to escape the summer heat when there were only twelve days left before the beginning of autumn, but they already knew Emperor Yanguang's stubbornness.

Finding that Emperor Yanguang had made up his mind and told them that he was just informing them instead of discussing with them, the courtiers stopped talking.

Judging by His Majesty's face, it may not take a few days to toss, and it may take a few days to go to Hunting Mountain, it's worth it.

On this trip to Hunting Mountain, Emperor Yanguang issued an order on the first day, and he was going to set off early in the morning on the third day, and all the people he took with him ordered a roll call, which shows that they were well prepared.

The queens, virtuous concubines, good concubines, virtuous concubines, Cui concubines, Yan concubines... as well as favored concubines of low rank in the harem are all on the list.

None of the sons of the clan and Xungui who studied in the palace were on the list.

King Li, King Jia, King Xiang, Mo Yao, Bai Qianli... and other courtiers who had great influence on the government were also on the list.

After the team that went to Hunting Mountain to escape the summer heat left Chang'an, it was difficult to find even a third-rank official in Chang'an.

Emperor Yanguang would never ignore the safety of the palace. Before he took away all the Jinwu Guards, he ordered troops from other prefectures in Gyeonggi to guard Chang'an, following the order of Jinwu Guard General Rong Guang.

Ji Xinxue originally expected to meet King Jia on the road, but instead squeezed with the eldest lady and others in the rickety carriage for three whole days.

If you want to change clothes, you can only take advantage of the night to find the grass under the escort of the Jin Wuwei female guards. Fortunately, the female guards will only circle him with their backs and don't have to stare at him changing clothes, otherwise Ji Xinxue really doesn't know what to do. what to do.

Before Ji Xinxue suffered from motion sickness, Emperor Yanguang's guard of honor finally came to Lieshan.

When he saw the Lieshan Palace, which was even more magnificent than the imperial palace, Ji Xinxue finally knew how Emperor Yanguang had ruined the private treasury accumulated by three generations of emperors. Even making jewelry for his concubines could only search for materials.

Behind the courtiers' backs, he secretly built a palace on Lieshan Mountain that is even more magnificent than the imperial palace. He is worthy of Emperor Yanguang.

Looking at the appearance of several veteran officials falling back clutching their chests after seeing the Lieshan Palace, it can be seen that they did not know about Emperor Yanguang's construction of the palace.

The palace in Lieshan is not only more gorgeous than the Chang'an Palace, but also several times larger in size.

Emperor Yanguang lived alone in the inner palace, and the concubines and princes lived next to the inner palace, and further outside were the residences of the courtiers. They were arranged in order according to their rank and the degree they valued by Emperor Yanguang.

Taixue students still need to attend classes on time, but they can return to live with their parents and relatives.

The Lieshan Palace is huge, but there are too many people living there.

King Jia could only be allocated a palace close to the inner palace, which was not as big as the front yard of Chang'an Palace.

Ji Xinxue walked into the room, her eyes widened in surprise.

This……?

The glazed tiles and red lacquer walls outside the palace, and even the stone lions at the entrance are extraordinarily mighty, but inside the palace is like a snow cave with only a small and thin bed.

Not only is it a bed without a bed net, but it is also the only furniture in the entire room.

Ji Xinxue said with difficulty, "Did you lead the wrong way?"

Bijuan closed her eyes and nodded, her tone was more desperate than ever before, "The King has distributed all the rooms with beds to the young masters, his room and the princess's room don't even have beds, and Song Nian Neijian is asking if he can bring people into the mountains hunting."

"I can be with..." Ji Xinxue kept silent, he couldn't squeeze with anyone.

Fortunately, the luggage that Bijuan brought out from the palace was all packed in good wooden boxes.

Three wooden boxes were placed on the ground, and Bijuan spread the rabbit fur brought out on the boxes, so that Ji Xinxue could pretend that she had a table and stools.

Seeing Bijuan diligently tidy up the cold cave-like room, Ji Xinxue can only rejoice, but fortunately, in this era, noble ladies are big enough, Bijuan not only packed three boxes of clothes and jewelry for him, but also The palace brought out a complete set of bedding, bed curtains, basins and sweat towels for washing.

Ji Xinxue sat on the wooden box covered with rabbit fur and fell into deep thought.

Was Emperor Yanguang the only one who disliked his sons, or did he really have no money to this extent?

Soon, Ji Xinxue knew the answer.

Prince Qinghe Prince brought Yu Heng to join King Jia.

The majestic Princess Anguo's mansion of the small county king, Yu Heng, who is rich in two fiefdoms and [-] households, has not even been allocated a palace, so he can only go to the allocated palace of Qinghe County Prince's Mansion.

When Ji Xinxue heard the news and rushed to the empty flower hall without any tables and chairs, Yu Heng stood expressionlessly in the same bare garden.

"Feng Lang!" Ji Xinxue trotted over, "You..."

Yu Heng nodded, already knowing what Ji Xinxue wanted to ask, "I really don't have a place to live."

"He really didn't get a place to live?" King Jia narrowed his eyes and looked at Prince Qinghe, suspecting that Prince Qinghe wanted to occupy Yu Heng's residence, so he brought Yu Heng to him.

The crown prince of Qinghe County covered his face and nodded, his voice was full of exhaustion, "Really, because he is the only one in Princess Anguo's mansion to hunt the mountain, the saint let him squeeze in my Ayena."

King Jia showed sympathy, "I asked someone to give him a bed, just so that Ji Cheng can borrow the light."

"No need." Prince Qinghe refused resolutely, "Let Yu Heng stay with you
