I was a princess in ancient times
Chapter 48 3 in 1
King Jia originally wanted Yu Heng and Ji Jingyu to squeeze together. Although the small bed in the palace is thin, it is not too difficult to sleep two young people who have not yet grown up.
Concubine De's confidant came to tell King Jia that there was still room in the palace of Concubine De and Su Xian, and Concubine De asked Concubine Jia to take her daughter to fulfill her filial piety.
King Jia showed embarrassment, and asked the princess, eldest lady, fourth lady, and sixth lady to go to the palace of Concubine De and Su Xian.
The nanny who came to send the letter to King Jia was an old man who had served Concubine De for many years. Seeing that King Jia had a different expression, she took the initiative to explain, "There are many people in the palace with mixed eyes, and the empress is also afraid that someone who does not have good eyes will bump into the princess, so she wants to kill the princess. Stay by your side."
Ji Xinxue, who eavesdropped with his ears up, understood in seconds.
Concubine De was afraid that Princess Jia would cause trouble in the palace.
After the concubine and others left, King Jia's palace could not only have one bed for each person, but even a spare bed.
Although Yu Heng had already been left behind, King Jia still asked for the spare bed to be sent to Prince Qinghe.
When it was almost dark, Yu Heng's carriage came in from outside and stopped in front of King Jia's palace.
The guards of Princess An's Mansion silently and quickly moved the box on the carriage to Yu Heng's room.
Ji Xinxue accompanied Yu Heng in the yard waiting for the room to be settled properly. After a long absence, she felt hatred for the rich, "I haven't finished moving, how many things have you brought?"
He only brought six boxes in total, and the guards of Princess An's Mansion moved twenty boxes, and they didn't stop.
Yu Heng gave Ji Xinxue the throat lozenges in his purse, and said lightly, "Jin Wuwei allowed me to bring twenty carriages, and Rong Chong secretly added five more carriages after ordering."
Ji Xinxue suddenly had nothing to say.
King Jia was only allowed to bring 25 carriages. Although the carriage of the Prince's Mansion was not as big as that of Princess Anguo's Mansion, there were so many people in King Jia's Mansion, and there was only one carriage for Ji Xinxue to pack his luggage, which meant the amount of luggage for Yu Heng At least twenty times that of Ji Xinxue.
During the day, Ji Xinxue was still lamenting that the noble daughter of Yu Chao had a reputation, and she even brought her own bedding and toiletries when she went out, but now she was compared to nothing left.
King Jia was also attracted by the movement of the guards in Princess An's Mansion moving things, and when he walked out of the room, he saw Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng who were muttering together again.
Don't you get tired of talking together every day?
Jia Wang looked at the picture of Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng standing together and felt bad, so he immediately turned and went back to the room.
Song Nian, who had been missing since the afternoon, followed King Jia into the door with tea, and whispered in a gesture of holding tea for King Jia, "Rong Guang who stayed in Chang'an is quietly wooing the guards of the capital who were ordered to guard Chang'an."
King Jia mocked, "Is this the Jinwu Guard he is so proud of?"
Rong Guang is the right general of the Jinwu Guard, and his position in the Jinwu Guard is second only to the Jinwu Guard's great generals Mo Yao and Zuo General. Even if he can't call himself Emperor Yanguang's confidant, he can still be regarded as Emperor Yanguang's close minister.
If Emperor Yanguang wanted to mobilize the troops in Gyeonggi, he only needed to leave imperial edicts and tokens for Rong Guang, and there was no need for Rong Guang to try his best to win over the guards in Gyeonggi.
This Rong Guang was clearly bold and was preparing for the future.
Thinking about Rong Guang's selfishness, Jia Wang suddenly realized something was wrong.
As an emperor, Emperor Yanguang was definitely not magnanimous, and he could even be described as a small belly. His employment principles would rather be stupid than disloyal.
Rong Guang's behavior of quietly wooing the guards of the capital has touched Emperor Yanguang's bottom line.
Why did he dare to do this... Can he be sure that Emperor Yanguang will not go back to Chang'an, and there is no way to settle accounts with him?Or the probability that Emperor Yanguang would not be able to return to Chang'an would allow him to gamble with his whole family's life on the chance to sell well in front of the new emperor.
King Jia's expression changed several times, and finally he became calm, "Is the token of the left guard of Princess Anguo's residence in the hands of Rong Chong?"
Song Nian nodded, his voice was low and inaudible, "Rong Chong took the initiative to present the mahogany sword, and the county king not only handed over the token of the left guard to Rong Chong, but also personally recommended Lin Qi, the general of the right guard Zhonglang, to take over as the general of the right guard."
"Let them respond to Rong Guang's kindness and coax Tongzhou Wei and Fangzhou Wei into Rong Guangxu and Wei Snake." King Jia stared at the candle with sharp eyes, "spread the marriage contract between Yu Heng and Xiao Wu."
"Hmm," Song Nian answered with lowered eyes.
The "they" in King Jia's mouth were Binzhou Wei, Qizhou Wei and Huazhou Wei.
This time Emperor Yanguang suddenly left Chang'an with the Jinwu Guards, and transferred the Tongzhou Guards, Fangzhou Guards, Binzhou Guards, Qizhou Guards, and Huazhou Guards around Chang'an to guard the city.
After the imperial decree was read, everyone sighed that Emperor Yanguang was going crazy again, but the insiders around King Jia felt that the heavens were looking after King Jia.
Ever since he left the palace to open his own mansion, King Jia left Chang'an every now and then to go hunting, most of them secretly went to Gyeonggi.
More than ten years of patient and careful management has earned the loyalty of Binzhou Wei, Qizhou Wei and Huazhou Wei.
Now Emperor Yanguang took all the Jinwu guards away, transferred five guards to make up for Chang'an's lack of troops, and almost sent Chang'an to King Jia.
Songnian quietly conveyed King Jia's order.
When he returned to King Jia's room to answer the question, seeing King Jia's expression still solemn, surprise flashed in his eyes.
He served by King Jia's side since he was a child, and he deeply felt that Ji Xinxue's character of being able to hide his thoughts was the most like King Jia's. Even during the period before and after Ji Xinxue was born, King Jia didn't always put sorrow on his face.
Before Song Nian could speak, Jia Wang said first, "Why haven't they calmed down?"
It was rare for Songnian not to realize what King Jia was saying, and a daze flashed in his eyes.
"Forget it, I'll go and see for myself." Wang Jia left with a flick of his sleeves.
Yu Heng had 25 carriages, 22 of which were filled with various kinds of luggage. He ordered people to send five carriages to Qinghe County Prince's Mansion, leaving [-] carriages left.
The carriages were less than a quarter empty, and Yu Heng's room was full.
Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou had nothing to do in the room, they went to the courtyard to watch the fun.
Seeing this, Yu Heng simply ordered someone to open the box in the yard, and distributed the new things to Ji Xinxue, Ji Jingyu, and Ji Jingrou.
Both Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou were very measured, they only chose four or five things that were particularly needed and then stopped, no matter how humble Yu Heng was, he refused to choose again.
Seeing this, Ji Xinxue was too embarrassed to take more, so she asked someone to carry two large boxes to his room, and when she wanted to choose the third one, Ji Jingrou grabbed her wrist, so she could only shut up regretfully.
When things are not enough, he will go to Yu Heng's room to look for them.
The three of them could only choose less than half a carriage.
Ji Xinxue counted the rest of Yu Heng's luggage, "What if there are still twelve carriages left? Otherwise, I will ask someone to open the room originally prepared for the eldest sister, fourth sister, and sixth sister, and you put the things in their rooms first." in the room."
Yu Heng didn't want to occupy too much space.
Emperor Yanguang only said to let the people follow him to hunt in the mountains, but he didn't say that the servants of each family were not allowed to go back to Chang'an to pick up things.
Given the size of the palace, I am afraid that the longer you live, the less space you will need to put your things.
Yu Heng already regretted taking so much luggage out.
He said to Ji Xinxue, "Just open a room, and send the things that can't fit... to the British government?"
Seeing that Ji Xinxue's expression became ugly, Yu Heng immediately changed his words, "Send them all to King Qinghe."
When King Jia came over, he happened to see Yu Heng seeing Ji Xinxue's change of expression in his eyes. He was filled with unhappiness and immediately didn't know who to turn to. He said in a muffled voice, "What's going on?"
Ji Xinxue immediately grabbed King Jia's arm, and told King Jia that Yu Heng was lacking a place to put his luggage, and looked at King Jia eagerly, her pleading was self-evident.
He hated the British government, but he also knew that if Yu Heng sent things to Qinghe county palace one after another, regardless of the British government, it would not benefit Yu Heng's reputation at all.
King Jia looked thoughtfully at Yu Heng who stood respectfully by his side, "Is there any good fur in the luggage?"
Yu Heng nodded, and immediately asked someone to bring out all the fur boxes for King Jia to have a look at, there were a total of twelve boxes.
"Well, I'll keep three boxes for you, and the rest will be filial to me. Is there any incense?" Wang Jia looked at Yu Heng with a half-smile.
"Aye?" Ji Xinxue looked at King Jia in astonishment.
This is Ming robbery, right? !
No matter how many things King Jia took away, when King Jia asked Yu Heng again if he had anything, Yu Heng would nod without hesitation.
In just two quarters of an hour, the luggage of Yu Heng's seventeen carriages was clearly allocated, two thirds of which were honored to King Jia, and only one third was left for Yu Heng.
From stunned to numb, Ji Xinxue finally understood why Yu Heng had so much luggage. He even brought his own screen and decorative vases.
In front of everyone, King Jia divided the tribute received from Yu Heng into several shares.
Fur, incense, and tea were sent to Concubine De, and the high-quality materials for emergencies were sent to the inner palace for Emperor Yanguang. Most of the vases and screens were sent to the British government.
The remaining things were divided equally and sent to the residence of King Li, the residence of King Qinghe, the residence of King Xinyang, and the residences of other clans.
Ji Xinxue couldn't figure it out, so that in his dream, it was Jia Wang who was pushing boxes.
After waking up the next day and laying on the bed with a blank mind, Ji Xinxue gradually got a glimpse of the doorway.
The things given to Concubine De are to make Concubine De's life more comfortable, and the things given to Emperor Yanguang are to express filial piety.
It is also understandable to give the things to King Qinghe. The king of Qinghe has a large population and really needs those things.The things given to the British government are things that people are not in the mood to use, or even have no place to put them. Ji Xinxue is completely acceptable.
King Jia probably wanted others to know that Yu Heng was his son-in-law as a gift to other clans, so that he could make the verbal engagement a reality in a disguised form, lest in the future... when the verbal engagement could be used, someone with ulterior motives would deliberately deny the existence of the verbal engagement .
This speculation made Ji Xinxue lose energy all day long. He wanted to ask King Jia what he thought about Emperor Yanguang's deteriorating health and the still uncertain crown prince, but he knew very well that King Jia would not tell him.
Rather than wasting Jiawang's time at this juncture, it's better to stop and let Jiawang feel at ease.
Ji Xinxue sat on the fur-covered box and meditated for the whole morning, and analyzed from the clues one thing that made people unhappy.
King Jia would easily publicize his verbal engagement with Yu Heng, because he was sure that Emperor Yanguang would not mind his engagement.
Is it because Emperor Yanguang's health is so bad that he is not in the mood to care about such trivial matters, or is Emperor Yanguang becoming more and more unscrupulous, thinking that the status of the princess of the future county will not affect his grasp of "herbs raised in captivity in the garden"?
Because there wasn't even a decent table in the palace, everyone ate in their own rooms, thanks to Yu Heng's own food and cooking utensils, the people in King Jia's Mansion would not face the dilemma of looking for a place to eat.
That's right, the palace does not provide meals and does not have a big kitchen.
People in the palace had to find their own way to eat if they wanted to eat. Even the firewood for the stove was the branches brought back from the nearest forest by the guards of Prince Jia's Mansion.
After lunch, Ji Xinxue was finally in the mood to go out. As soon as he opened the door, he smelled a strong burnt smell and a very inconspicuous barbecue aroma mixed with the burnt smell.
It is estimated that there is no pot and no place to eat, so the guards can only go hunting in the woods.
Ji Xinxue walked into the bare courtyard with a heavy face, where Ji Jingyu, Ji Jingrou and Yu Heng were sitting in the corridor talking.
"I heard that the villagers in the nearby village made a lot of money selling pots, and they have changed the name of the village to Guocun." Ji Jingrou's unbelievable voice almost knocked over the glazed tiles of the palace.
Ji Xinxue paused, her thoughts gradually went astray.Just one village's cooking pot is definitely not enough to meet the needs of the palace. I don't know if there will be titles such as "Erguo Village", "Li Guocun", and "Jiaguo Village".
Yu Heng and Ji Jingyu also felt that Guocun was outrageous, and they didn't even know what expression to make.
"Axue?" Yu Heng saw Ji Xinxue first, he waved to Ji Xinxue, and asked with concern, "Are you still dizzy?"
Ji Xinxue shook her head, walked straight to Yu Heng and sat down, fearing that Yu Heng would worry about him, she deliberately explained, "If you don't get motion sickness, you just stay in the room and don't bother to go out."
Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou looked at each other in dismay, both hated iron but not steel.
Although you already have a verbal engagement, you can't...you can't say anything like this, what if Yu Heng thinks you're lazy?
"Then don't go out, I still have Anshenxiang, you have enough energy today, you can avoid suffering when praying tomorrow." Yu Heng said and wanted to send Ji Xinxue back to the room.
"No, what should I do if I sleep at night now?" Ji Xinxue grabbed Yu Heng's elbow to prevent Yu Heng from getting up, "It's better to talk to pass the time, and it will be more effective to use Anshenxiang at night."
Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou looked at Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue who looked like no one else, the hatred in their eyes gradually turned into embarrassment, and they suddenly felt that they seemed a little... redundant?
"Cough cough cough!" Ji Jingrou forcibly called Ji Xinxue's attention to her, "You came out just in time, I have something to tell you."
Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng looked at Ji Jingrou at the same time, even nodding at the same frequency.
Ji Jingrou was suddenly at a loss for words, she didn't know where to focus her eyes, she could only stare at Ji Jingyu who was sitting on the other side, "If you leave the palace, you must bring at least two guards and maidservants with you. You also have to find a guard to accompany you at all times.”
"Huh?" Surprise appeared on everyone's faces.
"I heard that many people in the surrounding area lost their things. In the morning, two clan uncles knocked on the door, saying that the other party stole their things, and wanted Yu Heng to judge them, but Aye called someone to beat them away. "Ji Jingrou whispered the news she had inquired from the guards to everyone.
After hearing Ji Jingrou's words, Ji Xinxue only had three words in his mind.
'not to'
People who can be brought to the palace by Emperor Yanguang, no matter how they commit theft, at least they will not be caught after the theft, and everyone will know about it.
It is likely that the servants of each family were dishonest, took advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the fluke, and secretly took away the things. When the master found out that something was wrong and wanted to investigate, he felt afraid and threw the things elsewhere.
All kinds of troubles happened by accident.
Ji Jingrou also told everyone a lot of news about the various parts of the palace, as if there was nothing she didn't know about except the inner palace where Emperor Yanguang lived.
She even knew that Concubine Liang's younger sister, Concubine Cui, had quarreled with Concubine Yan, Concubine Cui slapped Concubine Yan on the face, and Concubine Yan kicked Concubine Cui in the chest.
I don't know how to talk about the many low-ranking concubines brought out by Emperor Yanguang, and there are all sorts of strange things.
Emperor Yanguang was so stingy when he allocated the palaces to King Qinghe and Yu Heng, and he was not generous to the concubines. In the entire harem, only the queen had a separate palace.
Concubine Xian lives with Concubine Yan, Concubine De lives with Concubine Su, Concubine Liang lives with Concubine Cui.
For the remaining low-ranking concubines, only four or five people can be allocated to one palace.
Scrambling for beds, robbing houses, robbing the few pieces of furniture... There is nothing in the palace that they can distribute peacefully.
Getting their hands dirty is already their most refined method, and it belongs to Wendou.
While Ji Xinxue was dumbfounded, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
It is well known that Emperor Yanguang is no longer good enough, why did he bring so many low-ranking concubines to the mountain?
"Is there anything in common among these low-ranking concubines?" Ji Xinxue asked Ji Jingrou with a straight face.
"What do they have in common?" Ji Jingrou subconsciously wanted to say that she was young and beautiful, but suddenly her hands trembled and she almost knocked the teacup on the ground.
Ji Xinxue also thought of the same thing as Ji Jingrou, "Young and beautiful?"
When people are old, it is reasonable to like fresh life to hang around.
Ji Jingrou shook her head with a complicated face, her voice was low and inaudible, "Two months ago, the palace appointed a nobleman named Wu, who was three years older than the saint."
Not interested in the concubines in the harem, Yu Heng and Ji Jingyu, who were quietly chatting about other things, had a flash of shock in their eyes, and looked at Ji Jingrou in unison.
Ji Xinxue raised her hand and closed her chin, and said with difficulty, "What is unique about Wu Guiren?"
Ji Jingrou pondered for a while, and his face became more and more serious, "I heard that I broke my left leg a few years ago, and I could only lie on the bed and wait to die. No one would take care of me until I was named a nobleman. Maybe... the saint wants to be peaceful by nobleman Wu. Indoctrination?"
"Sister, are you sick?" Ji Xinxue raised her hand on Ji Jingrou's forehead and asked with concern.
Ji Jingrou patted Ji Xinxue's hand away, "Don't think I don't know you're scolding me."
Analyzing Wu Guiren's failure, Ji Jingrou gave Ji Xinxue a second example. When talking about this person, Ji Jingrou's expression was even more strange, "The last concubine conferred by the saint is Han Meiren. She is not as old as Baoshan. This year She's only five years old, and she's the daughter of a court lady."
"Five years old?" Ji Xinxue pinched her throat to endure the faint feeling of nausea, and felt that it was not right that Emperor Yanguang would bring these low-ranking concubines to the hunting palace.
Considering Emperor Yanguang's consistent behavior, Ji Xinxue tried to ask Ji Jingrou if he knew the birth dates of these low-ranking concubines.
Ji Jingrou thought about it for a while, and only mentioned the birthday months of the two concubines, but couldn't tell the exact date or characters. Seeing Ji Xinxue nodding, she stopped embarrassing herself, and continued to talk about the birthday months of the other concubines.
They were all born in the same month.
Including Concubine Yan, exactly thirty people.
With Emperor Yanguang's behavior, no one would dare to believe that it was a coincidence.
Noticing that Ji Xinxue was quietly approaching Yu Heng, Ji Jingrou didn't hold back, and quickly grabbed Ji Jingyu's wrist to strengthen her courage, "Yu Heng, do you have grapefruit leaves? I want to get rid of the bad luck."
The next day, it was the fifth Taixue class, and Ji Xinxue and others entered the inner palace under the airtight protection of the Jinwu Guard.
It happened to be a sunny day, and Ji Xinxue's eyes hurt from being dazzled by the golden scene in the blessing palace.
In the center of the palace is a five-meter-high gold statue. It is unclear whether the ground and pillars in the palace are covered with copper or gold.
Not long after, Mo Yao stepped on a regular pace and appeared in front of the middleman with a long knife on his waist.
Pray, let's begin.
Ji Xinxue carefully identified whether the incense burner in front of her smelled the same as the incense burner in the palace.
So far, only mist incense is used for the first blessing, and the incense used later is all fruity.
Ji Xinxue specifically asked the eldest lady and the third lady who were praying elsewhere, what kind of incense was lit in front of them when praying, the eldest lady said it was floral fragrance, and the third lady said it was herbal fragrance.
Everyone followed the monks to recite scriptures as usual, and finally bowed five times, kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times to the golden statue.
After returning to King Jia's palace, Ji Xinxue found out that not only the students of Taixue entered the inner palace to pray for Emperor Yanguang today, but also the concubines except Concubine Liang.
The Queen, Concubine Xian, Concubine De and Concubine Cui who replaced Concubine Liang were alone in one palace, while the other concubines were led by Concubine Yan in another palace.
The next day, Ji Jingrou grasped the latest gossip at an unimaginable speed.
She had already discovered that Ji Jingyu and Yu Heng didn't care about her gossip, so she simply didn't look for those two people and went directly to Ji Xinxue's room.
"Every palace that prays for blessings in the inner palace has a five-meter-high golden statue." Ji Xinxue repeated Ji Jingrou's words in a murmur, and counted how prodigal Emperor Yanguang was with his fingers.
No wonder the palace outside can only be seen from the outside, but the inside is like a cold cave and snow cave. It turns out that all the gold is used on the plastic gold body.
Ji Jingrou nodded firmly, making sure her news was correct, "It's all real gold!"
"What's the matter with Concubine Liang, why don't you pray to Emperor Yanguang?" Ji Xinxue didn't want to feel sorry for Jin Zi anymore, so she forcibly changed the topic to another place.
Although according to the rate of concubine Liang's pregnancy and miscarriage in recent years, there is a high probability that she will not have the energy to pray to Emperor Yanguang, but Ji Xinxue does not think that Emperor Yanguang is the one who will take care of Concubine Liang's feelings.
There must be other reasons for this.
Ji Jingrou got up and squeezed into the same fur-covered box with Ji Xinxue, and said close to Ji Xinxue's ear, "The news on the surface is that the sage takes pity on Concubine Liang's frailty and doesn't want to make Concubine Liang suffer, but there are also people who say that Concubine Liang is weak. The concubine angered the saint and put him under house arrest."
Ji Xinxue shook his head in his heart, he didn't believe any of them.
Emperor Yanguang would love others, unless a meteor fell from the sky and hit Emperor Yanguang impartially on his head.
If Concubine Liang angered Emperor Yanguang, with Emperor Yanguang's fickleness, she would not just ground her feet lightly.
When Ji Jingrou and Ji Xinxue were talking, King Jia, who was only a few rooms away from them, was also talking about Concubine Liang with his staff who were dressed as guards and mixed up in the palace.
The news that King Jia received was different from Ji Jingrou's two statements.
The news he received was that Concubine Liang had an affair with King Yi who was supposed to be under house arrest in the imperial mausoleum, so she was put under house arrest by Emperor Yanguang.
After Song Nian told his staff the news, he retreated to the corner of the room, openly taking into account the changes in the staff's expressions.
"Your Majesty, when Concubine Liang is pregnant again, the fetus will be three months old. Concubine Liang and the fetus in her womb will both become 'tributes'." The middle-aged man with thick hair and beard made the appearance of a monk saluting, which was weird no matter how you looked at it.
The thin woman who was hunched over the box was the second to speak, "According to the date, the two magic spells will not end until four months later, and the saint has at least five months to live."
Jia Wang leaned lazily on the armchair made of boxes, without the slightest intention to speak.
Song in the corner said youngly, "Gentlemen, please tell me something that the king doesn't know, such as how to make the sage make the king the crown prince."
All the staff lowered their heads in shame. If they knew how to make Emperor Yanguang make King Jia the crown prince, they would have offered advice to King Jia before others, how could they have waited until now.
King Jia took the reactions of his staff into his eyes, and he had already expected the reactions of these people in his heart, and it could not be called disappointment, at most he found it boring.
He waved his hand, signaling Songnian to take these people away.
After everyone left, the young man who was hiding in the inconspicuous box in the corner quietly appeared. He carefully looked at King Jia, and before he could speak, his face flushed with embarrassment, "Your Majesty?"
King Jia was used to Ma Yu's timidity and shyness. Every time there were more than three people in the room, Ma Yu couldn't help but hide.As long as he talks to someone, no matter who he is facing, the shyness on Ma Yu's face cannot be dissipated.
These nondescript boxes placed in the corner were Songnian's hiding place specially prepared for Ma Yu.
He didn't expect Ma Yu to come out of the box on his own initiative. In order to communicate with Ma Yu normally, he deliberately sat there without moving, "What can Mr. Ma teach you?"
If he got up and approached Ma Yu, Ma Yu would be so frightened that he would crouch down with his head in his arms, unable to speak a word.
"Don't dare to say enlightenment." Ma Yu bowed to King Jia with a straight posture, and said in a low voice, "Why doesn't your lord think of a way to start with Mo Yao?"
"I dare not approach him." King Jia said bluntly.
Mo Yao was born in a secret guard, and his loyalty to Emperor Yanguang seemed to be engraved in his bones. Even if Emperor Yanguang was out of energy and could no longer restrain Mo Yao and Bai Qianli like before, Mo Yao would restrain himself.
If King Jia approached Mo Yao rashly, before Emperor Yanguang knew about the matter, Mo Yao would do something that King Jia would regret.
Ma Yu still felt uncomfortable. He quietly hid behind the wooden box and turned his back to King Jia. The timidity and shyness on his face immediately turned into a calm and calm, "You don't need to approach him. He is a dog. Although he will not betray his master, But he cannot live without a master. As long as you give him a reason to live, his heart will turn to you."
King Jia nodded thoughtfully, and asked humbly, "According to what Mister sees, how should I give Mo Yao a reason to live?"
Ma Yu pondered for a while, and an apology gradually appeared on his face, "I don't know."
After a long silence in the room, Jia Wang spoke again, "I have something else to ask, sir."
"I don't dare to be so, please ask the king." Ma Yu turned around and saluted respectfully to the big boxes stacked together.
"If there is no hope for what has been planned for many years, should we retreat or burn the boat?" King Jia asked.
Ma Yu refused to answer, "Your Majesty has his own answer in his heart, so it doesn't matter what someone says."
There were no more voices in the room, but footsteps and doors opening.
Song Nian knocked on the box politely, "Sir, I'll take you out."
Ma Yu clenched his sleeves nervously, and when he walked out of the box with small steps, his face was already redder than freshly steamed crabs, and his voice was so small that it was barely audible, "I have a labor prisoner."
Song Nian nodded, and handed Ma Yu over to other unremarkable people to take Ma Yu to a farm near the palace.
King Jia walked around the empty courtyard for half a circle, but did not see Ji Jingyu and the others, went out along the gate, and walked aimlessly along the palace road where people came and went.
Unknowingly, when he stopped, King Jia suddenly raised his head, just in time to see Concubine De and Su Xian standing side by side.
King Jia strode up to the two of them, "Aniang, aunt."
Concubine De reached out to remove the dead leaves from King Jia's head, her voice was as cold as ever, "What are you thinking about so preoccupied? Tell me and Axian."
Supporting Concubine De's other arm, King Jia entered into Concubine De's palace, "Jing Rou wants a horse, but I don't know if it should suit her, a fierce horse or a gentle horse, so as not to She will accidentally be hurt by a horse."
Su Xian said slowly, "Of course it's to make Jing Rou feel at ease, otherwise you will regret it when you see her in the future, and you will probably blame yourself day and night for not being willing to do your best for her today."
"I guess you'll get used to him." Concubine De smiled, and said to King Jia after offending Su Xian, "Even if you find more than a dozen docile horses for her, she will still miss the strong horses. By the time she loses them When she wants to control the heart of the strong horse but still misses the strong horse, she will start to suffer."
Ji Xinxue never expected that he could actually see the sun just appearing on the horizon the day after praying, which shows how great a person's potential is.
However, someone got up earlier than him.
Yu Heng was already holding a long sword in his hand, chopping and stabbing, and the streamer on the blade was particularly dazzling.
Ji Xinxue stared at it with her chin stuck for a while, and finally remembered that he could still play with a whip, and asked Bi Juan to fetch his long whip.
When King Jia also walked to the courtyard with the long sword, Yu Heng was already giving Ji Xinxue some moves, and Ji Xinxue even took time to look at King Jia and kindly reminded, "Aye, stay away from me, don't accidentally hurt you."
Fortunately, after Ji Jingyu and San Niangzi noticed that there were more and more people doing morning exercises, they hurriedly dressed and rushed to the yard with their weapons they were good at, only then did they attract King Jia's attention in time, and dispelled King Jia's bullying. idea.
How refreshing it is when you sweat, but how difficult it is when you wait in line for hot water to take a shower.
Ji Xinxue fell asleep again after taking a shower and waiting for Bijuan to wipe his hair, and it was already afternoon when he opened his eyes again.
Jiawang and Songnian are not there.
Yu Heng is not there.
Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou were also not there.
Ji Xinxue ate something to fill her stomach, and decided to go to the Palace of Defei to find Si Niangzi.
He kept in mind what Ji Jingrou said was a mess in the palace, so he deliberately brought three big men out, and the three big men came in handy just after leaving King Jia's palace within a hundred paces.
Ji Xinxue hid behind the three big men, staring dumbfounded at the crowd who were openly fighting. The heroic girl in the middle seemed very familiar.
She is the mighty little lady Yan!
Ji Xinxue showed sympathy, no matter how much you talk about it, you will be directly crushed by your strength.
He didn't want to cause trouble, so he only watched for a while, and then left mercilessly amidst the intermittent voice of 'Master Ningshu County'.
Yan Xiaoniang is very measured, she only picks her butt and kicks, so she doesn't need him to rush to uphold justice.
As for the others... Seven or eight people can't beat any of them, so they still have the face to ask for help?
After getting away from the gangsters, Ji Xinxue made a long detour before arriving at Concubine De's residence.
After paying respects to Concubine De, Su Xian and Wang Fei respectively, he wanted to find Fourth Lady but was stopped by Su Xian.
The fourth lady was disturbed by a nightmare yesterday, and today she has a fever, and she is lying on the bed and waking up.
Su Xian was afraid that the fourth lady would infect Ji Xinxue with her sickness and make Ji Xinxue suffer for nothing.
Ji Xinxue didn't see Fourth Lady and couldn't come, so he left, Eldest Lady and Sixth Lady were also not there, so he could only talk with Concubine De and others, but he was too embarrassed to speak.
He was not embarrassed for himself, but for the princess.
The concubine even said in front of Concubine De and Su Xian that he was not good enough for Yu Heng, implying to him that only a daughter of the royal family like Fourth Lady would be a princess when she got married, and she was worthy of Yu Heng.
No need for Ji Xinxue to speak, Concubine De just pinched her brows and told Princess to 'screw'.
The palace man who came in to answer the question interrupted the embarrassing atmosphere in time.
The palace servants came to report the gang fight between Miss Yan and other noble ladies in the house. After Miss Yan beat everyone up, Concubine Yan rolled up her sleeves and beat them to the place where those people lived.
The method is very down-to-earth, and I specially find a basin filled with water to splash on the mattress.
"Why did they fight?" Ji Xinxue asked curiously.
The palace man replied, "Master Xuanhe of Prince Li's Mansion insisted that Miss Yan stole her jade pendant and wanted to search Miss Yan in public, but Miss Yan was unwilling. It was the people around the county leader Xuanhe who first took action. The little lady will fight back."
Concubine De stopped shaking her fan, "Did she go to Prince Li's residence to make trouble?"
"I went, the first one to go was King Li's residence, I didn't make a fuss with Xuan and the county lord, I just grabbed Princess Li and didn't let go, and poured water on all the bedding in King Li's palace before leaving." The palace man replied respectfully .
Su Xian, who originally only listened to this incident as a joke, understood why Concubine De suddenly looked solemn after hearing the palace man's answer.
Concubine Yan's reputation for arrogance is mostly due to her confrontation with Concubine Liang, and she has never been disrespectful to the Empress and Concubine De.
Xuanhe of Prince Li's Mansion had been at odds with Lady Yan before, and it wasn't that Xuanhe found fault first and Xuanhe suffered a loss. The Queen and Yan Yan pretended not to know and never had a quarrel.
Concubine Yan suddenly changed her previous behavior. Could it be that something happened in the inner palace that they didn't know about?
Ji Xinxue noticed the change in Concubine De's and Su Xian's expressions, and got up to say goodbye.
Concubine De wrapped the red coral string around Ji Xinxue's wrist, "Go, don't take Princess Wang's words to heart, I will teach her slowly."
Ji Xinxue heard the chill in Concubine De's tone, and secretly wished the concubine a successful transformation this time, saluted Concubine De and Su Xian respectfully, and exited the flower hall.
After a few breaths, Ji Xinxue retreated slowly and suddenly ran back with panic on her face, "Grandma, Concubine Yan is calling!"
Lock up all the rooms with futons!
Concubine De's confidant came to tell King Jia that there was still room in the palace of Concubine De and Su Xian, and Concubine De asked Concubine Jia to take her daughter to fulfill her filial piety.
King Jia showed embarrassment, and asked the princess, eldest lady, fourth lady, and sixth lady to go to the palace of Concubine De and Su Xian.
The nanny who came to send the letter to King Jia was an old man who had served Concubine De for many years. Seeing that King Jia had a different expression, she took the initiative to explain, "There are many people in the palace with mixed eyes, and the empress is also afraid that someone who does not have good eyes will bump into the princess, so she wants to kill the princess. Stay by your side."
Ji Xinxue, who eavesdropped with his ears up, understood in seconds.
Concubine De was afraid that Princess Jia would cause trouble in the palace.
After the concubine and others left, King Jia's palace could not only have one bed for each person, but even a spare bed.
Although Yu Heng had already been left behind, King Jia still asked for the spare bed to be sent to Prince Qinghe.
When it was almost dark, Yu Heng's carriage came in from outside and stopped in front of King Jia's palace.
The guards of Princess An's Mansion silently and quickly moved the box on the carriage to Yu Heng's room.
Ji Xinxue accompanied Yu Heng in the yard waiting for the room to be settled properly. After a long absence, she felt hatred for the rich, "I haven't finished moving, how many things have you brought?"
He only brought six boxes in total, and the guards of Princess An's Mansion moved twenty boxes, and they didn't stop.
Yu Heng gave Ji Xinxue the throat lozenges in his purse, and said lightly, "Jin Wuwei allowed me to bring twenty carriages, and Rong Chong secretly added five more carriages after ordering."
Ji Xinxue suddenly had nothing to say.
King Jia was only allowed to bring 25 carriages. Although the carriage of the Prince's Mansion was not as big as that of Princess Anguo's Mansion, there were so many people in King Jia's Mansion, and there was only one carriage for Ji Xinxue to pack his luggage, which meant the amount of luggage for Yu Heng At least twenty times that of Ji Xinxue.
During the day, Ji Xinxue was still lamenting that the noble daughter of Yu Chao had a reputation, and she even brought her own bedding and toiletries when she went out, but now she was compared to nothing left.
King Jia was also attracted by the movement of the guards in Princess An's Mansion moving things, and when he walked out of the room, he saw Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng who were muttering together again.
Don't you get tired of talking together every day?
Jia Wang looked at the picture of Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng standing together and felt bad, so he immediately turned and went back to the room.
Song Nian, who had been missing since the afternoon, followed King Jia into the door with tea, and whispered in a gesture of holding tea for King Jia, "Rong Guang who stayed in Chang'an is quietly wooing the guards of the capital who were ordered to guard Chang'an."
King Jia mocked, "Is this the Jinwu Guard he is so proud of?"
Rong Guang is the right general of the Jinwu Guard, and his position in the Jinwu Guard is second only to the Jinwu Guard's great generals Mo Yao and Zuo General. Even if he can't call himself Emperor Yanguang's confidant, he can still be regarded as Emperor Yanguang's close minister.
If Emperor Yanguang wanted to mobilize the troops in Gyeonggi, he only needed to leave imperial edicts and tokens for Rong Guang, and there was no need for Rong Guang to try his best to win over the guards in Gyeonggi.
This Rong Guang was clearly bold and was preparing for the future.
Thinking about Rong Guang's selfishness, Jia Wang suddenly realized something was wrong.
As an emperor, Emperor Yanguang was definitely not magnanimous, and he could even be described as a small belly. His employment principles would rather be stupid than disloyal.
Rong Guang's behavior of quietly wooing the guards of the capital has touched Emperor Yanguang's bottom line.
Why did he dare to do this... Can he be sure that Emperor Yanguang will not go back to Chang'an, and there is no way to settle accounts with him?Or the probability that Emperor Yanguang would not be able to return to Chang'an would allow him to gamble with his whole family's life on the chance to sell well in front of the new emperor.
King Jia's expression changed several times, and finally he became calm, "Is the token of the left guard of Princess Anguo's residence in the hands of Rong Chong?"
Song Nian nodded, his voice was low and inaudible, "Rong Chong took the initiative to present the mahogany sword, and the county king not only handed over the token of the left guard to Rong Chong, but also personally recommended Lin Qi, the general of the right guard Zhonglang, to take over as the general of the right guard."
"Let them respond to Rong Guang's kindness and coax Tongzhou Wei and Fangzhou Wei into Rong Guangxu and Wei Snake." King Jia stared at the candle with sharp eyes, "spread the marriage contract between Yu Heng and Xiao Wu."
"Hmm," Song Nian answered with lowered eyes.
The "they" in King Jia's mouth were Binzhou Wei, Qizhou Wei and Huazhou Wei.
This time Emperor Yanguang suddenly left Chang'an with the Jinwu Guards, and transferred the Tongzhou Guards, Fangzhou Guards, Binzhou Guards, Qizhou Guards, and Huazhou Guards around Chang'an to guard the city.
After the imperial decree was read, everyone sighed that Emperor Yanguang was going crazy again, but the insiders around King Jia felt that the heavens were looking after King Jia.
Ever since he left the palace to open his own mansion, King Jia left Chang'an every now and then to go hunting, most of them secretly went to Gyeonggi.
More than ten years of patient and careful management has earned the loyalty of Binzhou Wei, Qizhou Wei and Huazhou Wei.
Now Emperor Yanguang took all the Jinwu guards away, transferred five guards to make up for Chang'an's lack of troops, and almost sent Chang'an to King Jia.
Songnian quietly conveyed King Jia's order.
When he returned to King Jia's room to answer the question, seeing King Jia's expression still solemn, surprise flashed in his eyes.
He served by King Jia's side since he was a child, and he deeply felt that Ji Xinxue's character of being able to hide his thoughts was the most like King Jia's. Even during the period before and after Ji Xinxue was born, King Jia didn't always put sorrow on his face.
Before Song Nian could speak, Jia Wang said first, "Why haven't they calmed down?"
It was rare for Songnian not to realize what King Jia was saying, and a daze flashed in his eyes.
"Forget it, I'll go and see for myself." Wang Jia left with a flick of his sleeves.
Yu Heng had 25 carriages, 22 of which were filled with various kinds of luggage. He ordered people to send five carriages to Qinghe County Prince's Mansion, leaving [-] carriages left.
The carriages were less than a quarter empty, and Yu Heng's room was full.
Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou had nothing to do in the room, they went to the courtyard to watch the fun.
Seeing this, Yu Heng simply ordered someone to open the box in the yard, and distributed the new things to Ji Xinxue, Ji Jingyu, and Ji Jingrou.
Both Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou were very measured, they only chose four or five things that were particularly needed and then stopped, no matter how humble Yu Heng was, he refused to choose again.
Seeing this, Ji Xinxue was too embarrassed to take more, so she asked someone to carry two large boxes to his room, and when she wanted to choose the third one, Ji Jingrou grabbed her wrist, so she could only shut up regretfully.
When things are not enough, he will go to Yu Heng's room to look for them.
The three of them could only choose less than half a carriage.
Ji Xinxue counted the rest of Yu Heng's luggage, "What if there are still twelve carriages left? Otherwise, I will ask someone to open the room originally prepared for the eldest sister, fourth sister, and sixth sister, and you put the things in their rooms first." in the room."
Yu Heng didn't want to occupy too much space.
Emperor Yanguang only said to let the people follow him to hunt in the mountains, but he didn't say that the servants of each family were not allowed to go back to Chang'an to pick up things.
Given the size of the palace, I am afraid that the longer you live, the less space you will need to put your things.
Yu Heng already regretted taking so much luggage out.
He said to Ji Xinxue, "Just open a room, and send the things that can't fit... to the British government?"
Seeing that Ji Xinxue's expression became ugly, Yu Heng immediately changed his words, "Send them all to King Qinghe."
When King Jia came over, he happened to see Yu Heng seeing Ji Xinxue's change of expression in his eyes. He was filled with unhappiness and immediately didn't know who to turn to. He said in a muffled voice, "What's going on?"
Ji Xinxue immediately grabbed King Jia's arm, and told King Jia that Yu Heng was lacking a place to put his luggage, and looked at King Jia eagerly, her pleading was self-evident.
He hated the British government, but he also knew that if Yu Heng sent things to Qinghe county palace one after another, regardless of the British government, it would not benefit Yu Heng's reputation at all.
King Jia looked thoughtfully at Yu Heng who stood respectfully by his side, "Is there any good fur in the luggage?"
Yu Heng nodded, and immediately asked someone to bring out all the fur boxes for King Jia to have a look at, there were a total of twelve boxes.
"Well, I'll keep three boxes for you, and the rest will be filial to me. Is there any incense?" Wang Jia looked at Yu Heng with a half-smile.
"Aye?" Ji Xinxue looked at King Jia in astonishment.
This is Ming robbery, right? !
No matter how many things King Jia took away, when King Jia asked Yu Heng again if he had anything, Yu Heng would nod without hesitation.
In just two quarters of an hour, the luggage of Yu Heng's seventeen carriages was clearly allocated, two thirds of which were honored to King Jia, and only one third was left for Yu Heng.
From stunned to numb, Ji Xinxue finally understood why Yu Heng had so much luggage. He even brought his own screen and decorative vases.
In front of everyone, King Jia divided the tribute received from Yu Heng into several shares.
Fur, incense, and tea were sent to Concubine De, and the high-quality materials for emergencies were sent to the inner palace for Emperor Yanguang. Most of the vases and screens were sent to the British government.
The remaining things were divided equally and sent to the residence of King Li, the residence of King Qinghe, the residence of King Xinyang, and the residences of other clans.
Ji Xinxue couldn't figure it out, so that in his dream, it was Jia Wang who was pushing boxes.
After waking up the next day and laying on the bed with a blank mind, Ji Xinxue gradually got a glimpse of the doorway.
The things given to Concubine De are to make Concubine De's life more comfortable, and the things given to Emperor Yanguang are to express filial piety.
It is also understandable to give the things to King Qinghe. The king of Qinghe has a large population and really needs those things.The things given to the British government are things that people are not in the mood to use, or even have no place to put them. Ji Xinxue is completely acceptable.
King Jia probably wanted others to know that Yu Heng was his son-in-law as a gift to other clans, so that he could make the verbal engagement a reality in a disguised form, lest in the future... when the verbal engagement could be used, someone with ulterior motives would deliberately deny the existence of the verbal engagement .
This speculation made Ji Xinxue lose energy all day long. He wanted to ask King Jia what he thought about Emperor Yanguang's deteriorating health and the still uncertain crown prince, but he knew very well that King Jia would not tell him.
Rather than wasting Jiawang's time at this juncture, it's better to stop and let Jiawang feel at ease.
Ji Xinxue sat on the fur-covered box and meditated for the whole morning, and analyzed from the clues one thing that made people unhappy.
King Jia would easily publicize his verbal engagement with Yu Heng, because he was sure that Emperor Yanguang would not mind his engagement.
Is it because Emperor Yanguang's health is so bad that he is not in the mood to care about such trivial matters, or is Emperor Yanguang becoming more and more unscrupulous, thinking that the status of the princess of the future county will not affect his grasp of "herbs raised in captivity in the garden"?
Because there wasn't even a decent table in the palace, everyone ate in their own rooms, thanks to Yu Heng's own food and cooking utensils, the people in King Jia's Mansion would not face the dilemma of looking for a place to eat.
That's right, the palace does not provide meals and does not have a big kitchen.
People in the palace had to find their own way to eat if they wanted to eat. Even the firewood for the stove was the branches brought back from the nearest forest by the guards of Prince Jia's Mansion.
After lunch, Ji Xinxue was finally in the mood to go out. As soon as he opened the door, he smelled a strong burnt smell and a very inconspicuous barbecue aroma mixed with the burnt smell.
It is estimated that there is no pot and no place to eat, so the guards can only go hunting in the woods.
Ji Xinxue walked into the bare courtyard with a heavy face, where Ji Jingyu, Ji Jingrou and Yu Heng were sitting in the corridor talking.
"I heard that the villagers in the nearby village made a lot of money selling pots, and they have changed the name of the village to Guocun." Ji Jingrou's unbelievable voice almost knocked over the glazed tiles of the palace.
Ji Xinxue paused, her thoughts gradually went astray.Just one village's cooking pot is definitely not enough to meet the needs of the palace. I don't know if there will be titles such as "Erguo Village", "Li Guocun", and "Jiaguo Village".
Yu Heng and Ji Jingyu also felt that Guocun was outrageous, and they didn't even know what expression to make.
"Axue?" Yu Heng saw Ji Xinxue first, he waved to Ji Xinxue, and asked with concern, "Are you still dizzy?"
Ji Xinxue shook her head, walked straight to Yu Heng and sat down, fearing that Yu Heng would worry about him, she deliberately explained, "If you don't get motion sickness, you just stay in the room and don't bother to go out."
Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou looked at each other in dismay, both hated iron but not steel.
Although you already have a verbal engagement, you can't...you can't say anything like this, what if Yu Heng thinks you're lazy?
"Then don't go out, I still have Anshenxiang, you have enough energy today, you can avoid suffering when praying tomorrow." Yu Heng said and wanted to send Ji Xinxue back to the room.
"No, what should I do if I sleep at night now?" Ji Xinxue grabbed Yu Heng's elbow to prevent Yu Heng from getting up, "It's better to talk to pass the time, and it will be more effective to use Anshenxiang at night."
Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou looked at Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue who looked like no one else, the hatred in their eyes gradually turned into embarrassment, and they suddenly felt that they seemed a little... redundant?
"Cough cough cough!" Ji Jingrou forcibly called Ji Xinxue's attention to her, "You came out just in time, I have something to tell you."
Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng looked at Ji Jingrou at the same time, even nodding at the same frequency.
Ji Jingrou was suddenly at a loss for words, she didn't know where to focus her eyes, she could only stare at Ji Jingyu who was sitting on the other side, "If you leave the palace, you must bring at least two guards and maidservants with you. You also have to find a guard to accompany you at all times.”
"Huh?" Surprise appeared on everyone's faces.
"I heard that many people in the surrounding area lost their things. In the morning, two clan uncles knocked on the door, saying that the other party stole their things, and wanted Yu Heng to judge them, but Aye called someone to beat them away. "Ji Jingrou whispered the news she had inquired from the guards to everyone.
After hearing Ji Jingrou's words, Ji Xinxue only had three words in his mind.
'not to'
People who can be brought to the palace by Emperor Yanguang, no matter how they commit theft, at least they will not be caught after the theft, and everyone will know about it.
It is likely that the servants of each family were dishonest, took advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the fluke, and secretly took away the things. When the master found out that something was wrong and wanted to investigate, he felt afraid and threw the things elsewhere.
All kinds of troubles happened by accident.
Ji Jingrou also told everyone a lot of news about the various parts of the palace, as if there was nothing she didn't know about except the inner palace where Emperor Yanguang lived.
She even knew that Concubine Liang's younger sister, Concubine Cui, had quarreled with Concubine Yan, Concubine Cui slapped Concubine Yan on the face, and Concubine Yan kicked Concubine Cui in the chest.
I don't know how to talk about the many low-ranking concubines brought out by Emperor Yanguang, and there are all sorts of strange things.
Emperor Yanguang was so stingy when he allocated the palaces to King Qinghe and Yu Heng, and he was not generous to the concubines. In the entire harem, only the queen had a separate palace.
Concubine Xian lives with Concubine Yan, Concubine De lives with Concubine Su, Concubine Liang lives with Concubine Cui.
For the remaining low-ranking concubines, only four or five people can be allocated to one palace.
Scrambling for beds, robbing houses, robbing the few pieces of furniture... There is nothing in the palace that they can distribute peacefully.
Getting their hands dirty is already their most refined method, and it belongs to Wendou.
While Ji Xinxue was dumbfounded, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
It is well known that Emperor Yanguang is no longer good enough, why did he bring so many low-ranking concubines to the mountain?
"Is there anything in common among these low-ranking concubines?" Ji Xinxue asked Ji Jingrou with a straight face.
"What do they have in common?" Ji Jingrou subconsciously wanted to say that she was young and beautiful, but suddenly her hands trembled and she almost knocked the teacup on the ground.
Ji Xinxue also thought of the same thing as Ji Jingrou, "Young and beautiful?"
When people are old, it is reasonable to like fresh life to hang around.
Ji Jingrou shook her head with a complicated face, her voice was low and inaudible, "Two months ago, the palace appointed a nobleman named Wu, who was three years older than the saint."
Not interested in the concubines in the harem, Yu Heng and Ji Jingyu, who were quietly chatting about other things, had a flash of shock in their eyes, and looked at Ji Jingrou in unison.
Ji Xinxue raised her hand and closed her chin, and said with difficulty, "What is unique about Wu Guiren?"
Ji Jingrou pondered for a while, and his face became more and more serious, "I heard that I broke my left leg a few years ago, and I could only lie on the bed and wait to die. No one would take care of me until I was named a nobleman. Maybe... the saint wants to be peaceful by nobleman Wu. Indoctrination?"
"Sister, are you sick?" Ji Xinxue raised her hand on Ji Jingrou's forehead and asked with concern.
Ji Jingrou patted Ji Xinxue's hand away, "Don't think I don't know you're scolding me."
Analyzing Wu Guiren's failure, Ji Jingrou gave Ji Xinxue a second example. When talking about this person, Ji Jingrou's expression was even more strange, "The last concubine conferred by the saint is Han Meiren. She is not as old as Baoshan. This year She's only five years old, and she's the daughter of a court lady."
"Five years old?" Ji Xinxue pinched her throat to endure the faint feeling of nausea, and felt that it was not right that Emperor Yanguang would bring these low-ranking concubines to the hunting palace.
Considering Emperor Yanguang's consistent behavior, Ji Xinxue tried to ask Ji Jingrou if he knew the birth dates of these low-ranking concubines.
Ji Jingrou thought about it for a while, and only mentioned the birthday months of the two concubines, but couldn't tell the exact date or characters. Seeing Ji Xinxue nodding, she stopped embarrassing herself, and continued to talk about the birthday months of the other concubines.
They were all born in the same month.
Including Concubine Yan, exactly thirty people.
With Emperor Yanguang's behavior, no one would dare to believe that it was a coincidence.
Noticing that Ji Xinxue was quietly approaching Yu Heng, Ji Jingrou didn't hold back, and quickly grabbed Ji Jingyu's wrist to strengthen her courage, "Yu Heng, do you have grapefruit leaves? I want to get rid of the bad luck."
The next day, it was the fifth Taixue class, and Ji Xinxue and others entered the inner palace under the airtight protection of the Jinwu Guard.
It happened to be a sunny day, and Ji Xinxue's eyes hurt from being dazzled by the golden scene in the blessing palace.
In the center of the palace is a five-meter-high gold statue. It is unclear whether the ground and pillars in the palace are covered with copper or gold.
Not long after, Mo Yao stepped on a regular pace and appeared in front of the middleman with a long knife on his waist.
Pray, let's begin.
Ji Xinxue carefully identified whether the incense burner in front of her smelled the same as the incense burner in the palace.
So far, only mist incense is used for the first blessing, and the incense used later is all fruity.
Ji Xinxue specifically asked the eldest lady and the third lady who were praying elsewhere, what kind of incense was lit in front of them when praying, the eldest lady said it was floral fragrance, and the third lady said it was herbal fragrance.
Everyone followed the monks to recite scriptures as usual, and finally bowed five times, kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times to the golden statue.
After returning to King Jia's palace, Ji Xinxue found out that not only the students of Taixue entered the inner palace to pray for Emperor Yanguang today, but also the concubines except Concubine Liang.
The Queen, Concubine Xian, Concubine De and Concubine Cui who replaced Concubine Liang were alone in one palace, while the other concubines were led by Concubine Yan in another palace.
The next day, Ji Jingrou grasped the latest gossip at an unimaginable speed.
She had already discovered that Ji Jingyu and Yu Heng didn't care about her gossip, so she simply didn't look for those two people and went directly to Ji Xinxue's room.
"Every palace that prays for blessings in the inner palace has a five-meter-high golden statue." Ji Xinxue repeated Ji Jingrou's words in a murmur, and counted how prodigal Emperor Yanguang was with his fingers.
No wonder the palace outside can only be seen from the outside, but the inside is like a cold cave and snow cave. It turns out that all the gold is used on the plastic gold body.
Ji Jingrou nodded firmly, making sure her news was correct, "It's all real gold!"
"What's the matter with Concubine Liang, why don't you pray to Emperor Yanguang?" Ji Xinxue didn't want to feel sorry for Jin Zi anymore, so she forcibly changed the topic to another place.
Although according to the rate of concubine Liang's pregnancy and miscarriage in recent years, there is a high probability that she will not have the energy to pray to Emperor Yanguang, but Ji Xinxue does not think that Emperor Yanguang is the one who will take care of Concubine Liang's feelings.
There must be other reasons for this.
Ji Jingrou got up and squeezed into the same fur-covered box with Ji Xinxue, and said close to Ji Xinxue's ear, "The news on the surface is that the sage takes pity on Concubine Liang's frailty and doesn't want to make Concubine Liang suffer, but there are also people who say that Concubine Liang is weak. The concubine angered the saint and put him under house arrest."
Ji Xinxue shook his head in his heart, he didn't believe any of them.
Emperor Yanguang would love others, unless a meteor fell from the sky and hit Emperor Yanguang impartially on his head.
If Concubine Liang angered Emperor Yanguang, with Emperor Yanguang's fickleness, she would not just ground her feet lightly.
When Ji Jingrou and Ji Xinxue were talking, King Jia, who was only a few rooms away from them, was also talking about Concubine Liang with his staff who were dressed as guards and mixed up in the palace.
The news that King Jia received was different from Ji Jingrou's two statements.
The news he received was that Concubine Liang had an affair with King Yi who was supposed to be under house arrest in the imperial mausoleum, so she was put under house arrest by Emperor Yanguang.
After Song Nian told his staff the news, he retreated to the corner of the room, openly taking into account the changes in the staff's expressions.
"Your Majesty, when Concubine Liang is pregnant again, the fetus will be three months old. Concubine Liang and the fetus in her womb will both become 'tributes'." The middle-aged man with thick hair and beard made the appearance of a monk saluting, which was weird no matter how you looked at it.
The thin woman who was hunched over the box was the second to speak, "According to the date, the two magic spells will not end until four months later, and the saint has at least five months to live."
Jia Wang leaned lazily on the armchair made of boxes, without the slightest intention to speak.
Song in the corner said youngly, "Gentlemen, please tell me something that the king doesn't know, such as how to make the sage make the king the crown prince."
All the staff lowered their heads in shame. If they knew how to make Emperor Yanguang make King Jia the crown prince, they would have offered advice to King Jia before others, how could they have waited until now.
King Jia took the reactions of his staff into his eyes, and he had already expected the reactions of these people in his heart, and it could not be called disappointment, at most he found it boring.
He waved his hand, signaling Songnian to take these people away.
After everyone left, the young man who was hiding in the inconspicuous box in the corner quietly appeared. He carefully looked at King Jia, and before he could speak, his face flushed with embarrassment, "Your Majesty?"
King Jia was used to Ma Yu's timidity and shyness. Every time there were more than three people in the room, Ma Yu couldn't help but hide.As long as he talks to someone, no matter who he is facing, the shyness on Ma Yu's face cannot be dissipated.
These nondescript boxes placed in the corner were Songnian's hiding place specially prepared for Ma Yu.
He didn't expect Ma Yu to come out of the box on his own initiative. In order to communicate with Ma Yu normally, he deliberately sat there without moving, "What can Mr. Ma teach you?"
If he got up and approached Ma Yu, Ma Yu would be so frightened that he would crouch down with his head in his arms, unable to speak a word.
"Don't dare to say enlightenment." Ma Yu bowed to King Jia with a straight posture, and said in a low voice, "Why doesn't your lord think of a way to start with Mo Yao?"
"I dare not approach him." King Jia said bluntly.
Mo Yao was born in a secret guard, and his loyalty to Emperor Yanguang seemed to be engraved in his bones. Even if Emperor Yanguang was out of energy and could no longer restrain Mo Yao and Bai Qianli like before, Mo Yao would restrain himself.
If King Jia approached Mo Yao rashly, before Emperor Yanguang knew about the matter, Mo Yao would do something that King Jia would regret.
Ma Yu still felt uncomfortable. He quietly hid behind the wooden box and turned his back to King Jia. The timidity and shyness on his face immediately turned into a calm and calm, "You don't need to approach him. He is a dog. Although he will not betray his master, But he cannot live without a master. As long as you give him a reason to live, his heart will turn to you."
King Jia nodded thoughtfully, and asked humbly, "According to what Mister sees, how should I give Mo Yao a reason to live?"
Ma Yu pondered for a while, and an apology gradually appeared on his face, "I don't know."
After a long silence in the room, Jia Wang spoke again, "I have something else to ask, sir."
"I don't dare to be so, please ask the king." Ma Yu turned around and saluted respectfully to the big boxes stacked together.
"If there is no hope for what has been planned for many years, should we retreat or burn the boat?" King Jia asked.
Ma Yu refused to answer, "Your Majesty has his own answer in his heart, so it doesn't matter what someone says."
There were no more voices in the room, but footsteps and doors opening.
Song Nian knocked on the box politely, "Sir, I'll take you out."
Ma Yu clenched his sleeves nervously, and when he walked out of the box with small steps, his face was already redder than freshly steamed crabs, and his voice was so small that it was barely audible, "I have a labor prisoner."
Song Nian nodded, and handed Ma Yu over to other unremarkable people to take Ma Yu to a farm near the palace.
King Jia walked around the empty courtyard for half a circle, but did not see Ji Jingyu and the others, went out along the gate, and walked aimlessly along the palace road where people came and went.
Unknowingly, when he stopped, King Jia suddenly raised his head, just in time to see Concubine De and Su Xian standing side by side.
King Jia strode up to the two of them, "Aniang, aunt."
Concubine De reached out to remove the dead leaves from King Jia's head, her voice was as cold as ever, "What are you thinking about so preoccupied? Tell me and Axian."
Supporting Concubine De's other arm, King Jia entered into Concubine De's palace, "Jing Rou wants a horse, but I don't know if it should suit her, a fierce horse or a gentle horse, so as not to She will accidentally be hurt by a horse."
Su Xian said slowly, "Of course it's to make Jing Rou feel at ease, otherwise you will regret it when you see her in the future, and you will probably blame yourself day and night for not being willing to do your best for her today."
"I guess you'll get used to him." Concubine De smiled, and said to King Jia after offending Su Xian, "Even if you find more than a dozen docile horses for her, she will still miss the strong horses. By the time she loses them When she wants to control the heart of the strong horse but still misses the strong horse, she will start to suffer."
Ji Xinxue never expected that he could actually see the sun just appearing on the horizon the day after praying, which shows how great a person's potential is.
However, someone got up earlier than him.
Yu Heng was already holding a long sword in his hand, chopping and stabbing, and the streamer on the blade was particularly dazzling.
Ji Xinxue stared at it with her chin stuck for a while, and finally remembered that he could still play with a whip, and asked Bi Juan to fetch his long whip.
When King Jia also walked to the courtyard with the long sword, Yu Heng was already giving Ji Xinxue some moves, and Ji Xinxue even took time to look at King Jia and kindly reminded, "Aye, stay away from me, don't accidentally hurt you."
Fortunately, after Ji Jingyu and San Niangzi noticed that there were more and more people doing morning exercises, they hurriedly dressed and rushed to the yard with their weapons they were good at, only then did they attract King Jia's attention in time, and dispelled King Jia's bullying. idea.
How refreshing it is when you sweat, but how difficult it is when you wait in line for hot water to take a shower.
Ji Xinxue fell asleep again after taking a shower and waiting for Bijuan to wipe his hair, and it was already afternoon when he opened his eyes again.
Jiawang and Songnian are not there.
Yu Heng is not there.
Ji Jingyu and Ji Jingrou were also not there.
Ji Xinxue ate something to fill her stomach, and decided to go to the Palace of Defei to find Si Niangzi.
He kept in mind what Ji Jingrou said was a mess in the palace, so he deliberately brought three big men out, and the three big men came in handy just after leaving King Jia's palace within a hundred paces.
Ji Xinxue hid behind the three big men, staring dumbfounded at the crowd who were openly fighting. The heroic girl in the middle seemed very familiar.
She is the mighty little lady Yan!
Ji Xinxue showed sympathy, no matter how much you talk about it, you will be directly crushed by your strength.
He didn't want to cause trouble, so he only watched for a while, and then left mercilessly amidst the intermittent voice of 'Master Ningshu County'.
Yan Xiaoniang is very measured, she only picks her butt and kicks, so she doesn't need him to rush to uphold justice.
As for the others... Seven or eight people can't beat any of them, so they still have the face to ask for help?
After getting away from the gangsters, Ji Xinxue made a long detour before arriving at Concubine De's residence.
After paying respects to Concubine De, Su Xian and Wang Fei respectively, he wanted to find Fourth Lady but was stopped by Su Xian.
The fourth lady was disturbed by a nightmare yesterday, and today she has a fever, and she is lying on the bed and waking up.
Su Xian was afraid that the fourth lady would infect Ji Xinxue with her sickness and make Ji Xinxue suffer for nothing.
Ji Xinxue didn't see Fourth Lady and couldn't come, so he left, Eldest Lady and Sixth Lady were also not there, so he could only talk with Concubine De and others, but he was too embarrassed to speak.
He was not embarrassed for himself, but for the princess.
The concubine even said in front of Concubine De and Su Xian that he was not good enough for Yu Heng, implying to him that only a daughter of the royal family like Fourth Lady would be a princess when she got married, and she was worthy of Yu Heng.
No need for Ji Xinxue to speak, Concubine De just pinched her brows and told Princess to 'screw'.
The palace man who came in to answer the question interrupted the embarrassing atmosphere in time.
The palace servants came to report the gang fight between Miss Yan and other noble ladies in the house. After Miss Yan beat everyone up, Concubine Yan rolled up her sleeves and beat them to the place where those people lived.
The method is very down-to-earth, and I specially find a basin filled with water to splash on the mattress.
"Why did they fight?" Ji Xinxue asked curiously.
The palace man replied, "Master Xuanhe of Prince Li's Mansion insisted that Miss Yan stole her jade pendant and wanted to search Miss Yan in public, but Miss Yan was unwilling. It was the people around the county leader Xuanhe who first took action. The little lady will fight back."
Concubine De stopped shaking her fan, "Did she go to Prince Li's residence to make trouble?"
"I went, the first one to go was King Li's residence, I didn't make a fuss with Xuan and the county lord, I just grabbed Princess Li and didn't let go, and poured water on all the bedding in King Li's palace before leaving." The palace man replied respectfully .
Su Xian, who originally only listened to this incident as a joke, understood why Concubine De suddenly looked solemn after hearing the palace man's answer.
Concubine Yan's reputation for arrogance is mostly due to her confrontation with Concubine Liang, and she has never been disrespectful to the Empress and Concubine De.
Xuanhe of Prince Li's Mansion had been at odds with Lady Yan before, and it wasn't that Xuanhe found fault first and Xuanhe suffered a loss. The Queen and Yan Yan pretended not to know and never had a quarrel.
Concubine Yan suddenly changed her previous behavior. Could it be that something happened in the inner palace that they didn't know about?
Ji Xinxue noticed the change in Concubine De's and Su Xian's expressions, and got up to say goodbye.
Concubine De wrapped the red coral string around Ji Xinxue's wrist, "Go, don't take Princess Wang's words to heart, I will teach her slowly."
Ji Xinxue heard the chill in Concubine De's tone, and secretly wished the concubine a successful transformation this time, saluted Concubine De and Su Xian respectfully, and exited the flower hall.
After a few breaths, Ji Xinxue retreated slowly and suddenly ran back with panic on her face, "Grandma, Concubine Yan is calling!"
Lock up all the rooms with futons!
