I was a princess in ancient times

Arriving at Zhuangzi, Ji Xinxue immediately ordered the servants to prepare a spotless room, and meticulously completed what he said casually to Ji Jingyu when he left Chang'an, and first prayed for Emperor Yanguang for half an hour.

The process of praying for blessings is no less enjoyable than when he was in 'Tai Xue'. He just needs to sit on the futon in a comfortable posture and wait for Qingyun to remind him that it's time to leave.

Ji Xinxue took some time to meditate, forgetting the bright smile of Princess Xuanwei, and then began to think about his purpose of coming to Zhuangzi.

He wanted to see the lives of the people and the crops in the fields.

The emptiness of the national treasury is due to insufficient tax revenue. There are two basic possibilities for the root cause of insufficient tax revenue.

One is that the people cannot afford to pay taxes, and the other is that the people cannot pay taxes.

The former is a matter of the times. The seeds and farming methods of the Yu Dynasty cannot be compared with the era he lived in before he traveled, and the harvest in the field is naturally also incomparable.

If the people's hard-earned harvest for the whole year can't even do the most basic support for their families, the court can't really force the people to death.

In this situation, even if you can find a way to get 'money', you can't improve the problem of the empty treasury. When most people can't eat enough, no amount of 'money' can be spent. In addition to causing economic inflation, leading to price inflation Rise, almost no other effect.

The latter is also a matter of the times. After he decided to come to Zhuangzi yesterday to explore the reason for the emptiness of the national treasury, he went to Ji Jingyu's study and found a book about tax laws.

Since the founding of the country, the Yu Dynasty has adopted the tax collection method of the land equalization system.

Each village has an amount of wasteland that must be reclaimed every year, and the wasteland reclaimed by these common labors will be granted to the population above the village, which is about [-] mu.

Of the [-] mu of land, eighth is Fenkou field, and two is Yongye field.

Fenkou fields can only be planted when the owner is alive, while Yongye fields can be passed down from generation to generation.

Those who get the land have the obligation to pay taxes and serve corvee.If you are unwilling to serve corvee, you can avoid corvee with silk, cloth, or hemp.

If there are special circumstances, the imperial court needs to increase the period of corvee service every year, and will reduce the tax of the year as appropriate.

According to the tax law currently implemented by the Yu Dynasty, it can basically guarantee that the people have land to grow, support themselves and pay taxes. It seems that there is no problem... In fact, the biggest problem is that it seems that there is no problem.

No matter how perfect this tax law may seem, it is fundamentally wrong.

Ji Xinxue has used thousands of years of experience to prove that the poll tax has no future. No matter how well planned it is at the beginning, it will inevitably end up with land annexation and the displacement of farmers.

Only by changing the object of taxation from head to land, and those with more land pay more tax, and those with less land pay less tax, can the framework of the tax law be maintained to the greatest extent.

Since ancient times, it has not been easy to reform the system and tax. Even if it is determined that the reason for the emptiness of the Yu Dynasty's treasury is the tax law, it is not easy to solve this problem.

Before getting up from the futon, Ji Xinxue came to the conclusion that no matter what the cause of the emptiness of the national treasury, it would be a long way to solve the problem.

In short, two words, so difficult.

After all, it was Rexiao, and Princess Xuanwei was there, so Ji Xinxue could only reluctantly give up the whole sheep banquet, ate a whole vegetarian meal without knowing the taste, and then changed into clothes that were still plain but not too filial to look at. Li Jinhuan and Zhang Siyi went to hang out in the farmland outside Zhuangzi.

It was September, which happened to be when the crops were harvested.

It's a pity that Ji Xinxue has never been involved in farming and mulberry. He can neither identify the type of crops in the field, nor can he evaluate whether the crops are good or bad.

He stared at the crops in the ground for a long time, gave up embarrassing himself, and sent someone to find the owner.

"Is this ration for your sheep?" Zhang Siyi stared blankly at the golden tassels everywhere, "Why are they all yellow, will the sheep not like it?"

Ji Xinxue smiled, "I don't know if the sheep will like these 'grass', anyway, you eat 'grass' almost every day."

"It doesn't mean that you will be angry if the grass on your farm is not well-raised?" Zhang Siyi's eyes widened, with grievances on her face, trying to reason with Ji Xinxue, "No matter how poor the Shangshu Mansion is, it won't let me eat grass. "

Ji Xinxue can't reason with Zhang Siyi, but someone who can reason with Zhang Siyi has already arrived.

He glanced at Zhang Siyi with a half-smile, and asked the hurried owner, "What kind of crops are grown in this land?"

The owner was stunned for a moment, and proudly puffed up his chest, "It's japonica rice. When the princess was still in the palace, she could eat the japonica rice sent here to the palace every year."

"Is this japonica rice?" Zhang Siyi stared at the withered yellow weeds in his eyes in surprise, her voice full of surprise.

The owner of the village has always been proud that the jade and japonica rice on the Zhuangzi can be sent directly to the Jiawang Mansion, and served on the dining tables of the masters of the Jiawang Mansion.At this time, Zhang Siyi asked with such an unbelievable tone. Knowing that Zhang Siyi is Ji Xinxue's distinguished guest, her tone could not hide her stiffness, "It is indeed Japonica rice, and I would like to guarantee it with my head!"

"I made a mistake just now." Ji Xinxue sincerely apologized to Zhang Siyi, who had staring round eyes, "You don't eat japonica rice every day."

Zhang Siyi didn't care about Ji Xinxue's ridicule at all, he looked at Ji Xinxue eagerly, and hinted frantically, "Is it the harvest season, I'm going to have dinner here before leaving."

Li Jinhuan, who had been silent all along, also looked at Ji Xinxue. Although he didn't speak, it was very obvious that he wanted to keep the jade and japonica rice until he was full.

The nobles in Chang'an liked the rice in the south of the Yangtze River, but the distance to the south of the Yangtze River was far away, and even the best rice was not as good as when it was just harvested in Chang'an.

Over time, rice planting became popular in Chang'an.

Compared with growing wheat, rice planting in Chang'an has a long cycle and less harvest, and the output of japonica rice, which is more fragrant and glutinous than ordinary rice, is not as good as five or six out of ten of ordinary rice.

Li Jinhuan and Zhang Siyi were born in Dingbeihou Mansion and Libu Shangshu Mansion respectively, and they were the younger generation favored by their family members. They could still eat japonica rice every day, but they often had to wait several months to get a small bowl of japonica rice.

They may not think that Japonica Japonica is so delicious, but they will never refuse the opportunity to eat Japonica Japonica with their belly open.

Ji Xinxue never thought that jade rice was rare.

Concubine De has been favored by Emperor Yanguang for decades, and indeed she has picked up a lot of good things from Emperor Yanguang. King Jia has also been liked by Emperor Yanguang since he was a child, and he has saved a lot of money for himself.

The children of Prince Jia's Mansion, except for Ji Baoshan who has not yet gone to school, all have a shop in a good location in Chang'an and a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.

These Zhuangzi can all grow jade and japonica rice, and King Jia specially asked the steward of the palace to collect the jade and japonica rice from Ji Xinxue and others' Zhuangzi at the 'market price', subsidizing them in a way.

Thinking of this, Ji Xinxue couldn't accept the fact that King Jia suddenly became poor.

Ji Xinxue made a promise to have enough dinner, and asked the owner of the farm, besides the jade and japonica rice, what plants are there on the farm.

There are so many farm households, at least they must be self-sufficient, and they must not buy food from other places.

The owner's answer was beyond Ji Xinxue's expectations. Apart from the jade and japonica rice, this village only had green grass for the sheep to eat. King Jia would allocate rations for the farmers here from other villages.

Because Princess Xuanwei escorted Ji Xinxue to the Zhuangzi and did not leave, Ji Xinxue gave up the idea of ​​walking around, just strolled around his Zhuangzi, and then found an excuse to stay in the Zhuangzi of Princess Anguo's mansion next door for half a day, expressing her desire Back to Chang'an.

If Princess Xuanwei's bright smile hadn't appeared in his sight, maybe Ji Xinxue would have stayed in Zhuangzi for a few more days.

Ji Xinxue went to visit Ji Jingyu first after returning to Chang'an.

Not seeing her for just a few days, Ji Jingyu became visibly thinner and haggard, her eyes full of gloom.But his attitude towards Ji Xinxue was still very gentle, and he did not vent his negative emotions on Ji Xinxue.

Ji Xinxue used some speaking skills to learn about Ji Jingyu's troubles from Ji Jingyu's mouth.

The new emperor sent the late emperor to be buried, and deliberately left Ji Jingyu in Chang'an to handle some unimportant matters on his behalf, so naturally he would not take all the courtiers away.

Although there is no big court meeting, the daily small court meeting still exists.

Since the second day after the new emperor left, the officials of the Xiaochaohui would mention that the new emperor gave too much favor to the princesses every day, and asked Ji Jingyu to persuade the new emperor to reduce the food for the princesses.

According to the words of the courtiers, when Emperor Yanguang granted the first titles to King Li, King Jia, and King Xiang, each of them had two thousand households. Until today, King Li only has two thousand households. There are [-] households in Shiyi, which is more than nieces.

The new emperor did not take into account the feelings of the brothers when he gave his daughters generous food, which was not conducive to the harmony of the clan. Ji Jingyu asked Ji Jingyu to correct the new emperor's mistakes, so as to avoid turmoil in the court.

Ji Xinxue raised her hand to press her frantically beating eyebrows, her voice was full of doubts, "According to what they said, shouldn't your [-] households be cut down?"

Ji Jingyu looked ashamed, "I also told Zhu Qing the same way, but they said that I am Aye's only son, and I should be special to reassure the people."

"Don't worry, Axue, I will never propose to Aye to reduce your food counties, and I will also persuade the courtiers to give up the idea of ​​reducing your food counties." Ji Jingyu swore to Ji Xinxue.

Fool, the person who should be worried is not me, but you.

Ji Xinxue looked at Ji Jingyu with affection, the officials of the Xiaochaohui refused to accept that the princesses' food town was fake, and they were really trying to provoke the relationship between Ji Jingyu and King Jia.

Whether it's "actively persuade the new emperor to reduce the princess's income" or "the only son of the new emperor should be special" are all traps set by the officials of the Xiaochaohui for Ji Jingyu.

Now it seems that Ji Jingyu escaped the first trap by relying on her affection for the sisters, but unknowingly stepped into the second trap.

Back then when someone said that Ji Jingyu was the only son of the new emperor and wanted to be special to reassure the people, Ji Jingyu should have slapped that person on the face!

Fortunately, the new emperor and the previous emperor have completely different temperaments, at least for a few years, they will not care about these trivial matters with Ji Jingyu.

There are still about six days before the new emperor returns to Chang'an, and those courtiers must not be allowed to continue digging holes for Ji Jingyu.

Ji Xinxue touched the soft whip that had never left her body since she was assassinated in the palace, excitement gradually appeared in the depths of her eyes, but her tone was very calm, "Brother, what does the courtier who is the most noisy usually look like? Where are you standing to talk to you?"

Ji Jingyu instinctively felt that something was wrong, "Axue?"

"They bullied you, I'll curse them for having diarrhea and missing court!" Ji Xinxue raised his head, his eyes resembled King Jia's, narrow and sharp phoenix eyes, but he is still young, and the baby fat on his face has not faded , even the arc of the eyes is more rounded, adding a bit of innocence and cuteness when looking at people with wide eyes.

Ji Jingyu looked at Ji Xinxue like this, and the vigilance in his heart dissipated immediately. He gently stroked Ji Xinxue's temples, "Don't worry, Axue, brother can handle it."

Before Ji Xinxue could respond, Ji Jingyu's face suddenly darkened, and his tone changed from gentle to unprecedentedly severe, "Why do you know about the 'curse'? Remember not to be contaminated with evil things, otherwise Aye will get angry. "

Ji Xinxue secretly thought she was negligent, and solemnly explained to Ji Jingyu that she only knew the word "curse" after reading miscellaneous books, and she would never mention these two words again in the future, begging Ji Jingyu not to tell King Jia and Su about this matter. Queen Mother.

In Ji Jingyu's impression, Ji Xinxue has always been the most well-behaved younger sister, and because Ji Xinxue has suffered differently from others since childhood, he especially prefers Ji Xinxue in his heart.

When he was still in King Jia's mansion, Ji Xinxue raised chickens and rabbits in the yard, and the nights were often noisy, so there was no peace. Ji Jingyu didn't have the heart to blame Ji Xinxue, but proposed to King Jia that he wanted to move to another yard.

Seeing Ji Xinxue's earnest promise and begging him softly, Ji Jingyu's ugly face gradually eased, and he told in a deep voice the serious consequences of many supernatural curses before letting Ji Xinxue leave.

After Ji Xinxue left Ji Jingyu's sight, she immediately went to find the eunuch who usually followed Ji Jingyu to Xiaochaohui.

This eunuch is also an old man next to King Jia, when he heard Ji Xinxue inquire about the Xiaochao meeting, he didn't shirk at all, and told Ji Xinxue all the quarrels that happened in Xiaochao meeting.

After Ji Xinxue heard what the inner prisoner said, the pent-up anger in his heart was poured out again.

The next day, Ji Xinxue woke up early, carefully wrapped the soft gold whip around her wrist, and rushed to Xindi's study.

The Xiaochaohui was held in Xindi's study.

Ji Xinxueyuan thought he came very early, but he was a step too late.

When he arrived at Xindi's study, the door of the study was closed tightly, and only when the people inside were extremely agitated would there be a sound.

Although Ji Xinxue came a little late, but it was a coincidence that when he walked to the closed door of the study, he just heard the reason to slam the door.

"If the king is unwilling to speak out about reducing the princesses' living expenses because of the affection between brothers and sisters, why not take the initiative to write a letter and return the two thousand living households to His Majesty?"You are the eldest brother, if the princesses sincerely respect you, they will definitely go up with you. '

"Your Majesty can also bluntly tell His Majesty that there is a difference between the concubine and the concubine. First reduce the food towns of Princess Baoding, Princess Anwu and Princess Jichang, and then find a way to reduce the food towns of Princess Huai'an and Princess Jinming. '

After hearing Ji Xinxue's words in just a few words, his blood surged, and with a burst of strength that he didn't usually have, he kicked open the closed door of the study.

These people treated Ji Jingyu as a fool, dug two holes every day, and the holes would kill him.

Not only did he want to provoke the relationship between Ji Jingyu and the new emperor, but he also wanted to provoke the relationship between Ji Jingyu and the princesses.

Ji Xinxue has figured it out, these people actually want to invalidate Ji Jingyu's 'Prince'!

The people in the study who were trying their best to persuade Ji Jingyu were startled by the loud noise at the door, and those who were particularly timid even fell to the ground.

After Ji Xinxue rushed through the door, she first pulled the surprised Ji Jingyu behind her, raised her whip and started whipping.

Although he was weak, he was not serious about fishing for three days and drying the net for two days when he practiced the whip, but the advantage was that the whip was good, and all the people he beat were pampered and didn't even know how to hide.

Ji Xinxue yelled at someone while chanting the words she had already thought up, "Do you still dare to provoke our brothers and sisters!"

Of course he would not whip people just because the courtier proposed to cut the princess's food and fief, he was angry at the courtier who provoked the feelings of the brothers and sisters of the Tian family!

The courtiers were caught off guard by the violent whipping, their eyes were red with anger, and they didn't even notice what Ji Xinxue said, because they didn't notice and the pain was in an unspeakable part, only in the space where they covered their faces See clearly the face of the whip-wielding man.

"Princess Anwu! Stop!"

"Your Majesty has treated us with great courtesy, how dare you barge into the court hall with a whip?"

"Come and grab the princess!"

……

Ji Xinxue turned a deaf ear to the nonsense of the courtiers.

Before he came to Xindi's study with a whip, he had already planned his retreat, how could he be bluffed by them.

Ji Xinxue was not strong enough but was very good at controlling the whip. Under his control, the tail of the whip flew sensitively, precisely avoiding the heads and faces of the courtiers, and specifically whipped towards the most fleshy part of the buttocks.

Ji Jingyu wanted to hold Ji Xinxue back, but Ji Xinxue's whip was so airtight, Ji Jingyu was afraid that if he did it rashly, Ji Xinxue would not be able to control the whip on her body, let alone worry about others approaching Ji Xinxue, Instead, Ji Xinxue stopped the Jin Wuwei who rushed towards him when he heard the sound.

After finding that everyone was sitting down, Ji Xinxue switched to smoking towards the most tender part of the thighs of the officials.

Finally someone couldn't bear the whipping, firmly grasped the tail of the whip, and yelled, "Princess Anwu! You..."

Before the courtier finished speaking, Ji Xinxue suddenly rushed towards the man who was holding his whip, and fell hard to the ground.

"Ash?"

"Princess!"

"Princess Anwu?"

……

Seeing Ji Xinxue rushing in to whip people, Ji Jingyu's expression changed drastically, and Ji Xinxue, who was lying on the ground, hugged her in his arms, "Axue, what's wrong with you."

Ji Xinxue looked at Ji Jingyu with tears in her eyes, and choked up, "Brother, my leg hurts, did my leg break?"

Ji Jingyu looked at Ji Xinxue's powerless leg on the ground in disbelief, wanted to reach out to touch it but was afraid of hurting Ji Xinxue, the tears shed were worse than Ji Xinxue's, "Axue is not afraid, I will let people Go to the doctor."

"The chest is stuffy too." Ji Xinxue closed her eyes angrily.

Ji Jingyu's hand holding Ji Xinxue's shoulder tightened silently, wiped away tears fiercely, and shouted, "Go to the imperial physician!"

Princess Xuanwei looked at Ji Xinxue's weak appearance as if she might die at any moment, and said to Ji Jingyu, "My lord, are these sinners who attacked the princess imprisoned in the clan's mansion or in Dali Temple?"

Without even thinking about it, Ji Jingyu said, "Escort to Dali Temple! Please ask the head of Cheng'an County of the Clan Mansion to go to Dali Temple to assist in this case."

Going to the clan mansion is an attack on the clan, and at most they will be fined or imprisoned.

To go to Dali Temple is to commit crimes above and below. In addition to fines and imprisonment, you may be demoted or even dismissed from office.

After Ji Xinxue fell down, the officials who were firmly pressed to the ground by the Jinwu Guards looked at Ji Jingyu in disbelief, "Your Majesty?! I am wronged! I did not... woo woo woo."

Even though his mouth was gagged with a stinky cloth, the official still struggled desperately unwillingly.

He just held Princess Anwu's whip without any force!

Seeing this official being taken away like a pig by the Jinwu Guard, the rest of the officials looked at each other with joy and fear in their eyes.If they hadn't refrained from making the first move just now, they might be the ones being dragged to Dali Temple now.

Before the smiles of Yusheng after the catastrophe appeared on the faces of these people, Princess Xuanwei, who had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, waved his hands with a half-smile, "And these people, shut up and take them to Dali Temple. We'll deal with it when we get back."

"I didn't..." Princess Xuanwei put her foot on the chin of the person who spoke. She was not Ji Xinxue, who only had skills but no strength. He fell to the ground with his mouth open.

His jaw was dislocated.

Princess Xuanwei smiled heartily at the stunned officials, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the saliva on the boots.

The officials retreated in unison, wishing that the Jinwu Guard could move more quickly, and quickly take them to Dali Temple!

Ji Xinxue quietly opened her eyes, looking at the trembling officials huddled together, her hatred for these people was even stronger.

When planning to come to the study to make a big fuss about this matter, Ji Xinxue deliberately inquired in advance about the origins of the people in the Xiaochaohui.

Only then do we know how 'watery' these people are.

The new emperor went to send Emperor Daxing to be buried in person, took away most of the courtiers, and at the suggestion of the courtiers, temporarily selected some people to spend a small court with Ji Jingyu who stayed in Chang'an every day.

Under normal circumstances, these temporarily selected officials, not to mention entering the study of the new emperor, had to stand closest to the door even during the Great Court Meeting.

That is to say, Ji Jingyu's temper is too good, and he didn't punish these people immediately after they put forward unbelievable suggestions, which made these temporarily selected officials want to push their noses.

When bullying Ji Jingyu, each one was more powerful than the other, but facing Princess Xuanwei, he was not cowardly.

Have you never thought that the new emperor will return to Chang'an soon?

Or in the hearts of these people, there is no difference between the new emperor and Ji Jingyu, who has not yet grown up?

Ji Xinxue closed her eyes, turned her head in disgust, and waited for the imperial physician to arrive.

Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Xiaoliu were both taken away by the new emperor. It was heard that King Ling personally served as the imperial physician for Princess Anwu. Wei was taken to Xindi's study.

Seeing Princess Anwu's face, the old doctor felt something was wrong. With his finger on the veins, his heart became clearer, and he lowered his eyes to the worried Lingwang and said, "Princess Anwu is not feeling well."

Ji Xinxue was almost amused by the old imperial doctor's nonsense, and she was glad that the imperial hospital sent an imperial doctor who could read faces.

Angrily, he told the old doctor about his symptoms, "After the death of the late emperor, every time I think of the late emperor, I feel so sad that I cannot sleep at night. When I close my eyes, it is the last time I saw the late emperor. Find a way to see the late emperor for the last time."

Ji Xinxue paused for a moment, thinking that there should be crying here, and choked up, "Last night, I dreamed about the late emperor, who reminded me that there was a villain with ulterior motives to provoke my relationship with my brothers and sisters, and told me to be careful. After I woke up, Feeling uneasy, I immediately went to look for my brother, but I didn't expect to hear the provocative words of the villain just outside the door of the study. They not only provoke brothers and sisters, but also provoke brothers and Aye!"

For the rest, Ji Xinxue didn't say any more, just acted as if she was out of breath, and the old doctor who looked like a human being understood, stroking her white beard and telling a variety of illnesses, almost every illness was out of touch with sadness and anger. No relationship.

Ji Jingyu personally sent Ji Xinxue back to the palace, the guilt on his face almost turned into substance.

Seeing Ji Jingyu like this, Ji Xinxue hated iron but could not continue to complain about Ji Jingyu in her heart, so she could only continue to pretend to be sick, preferring to keep Ji Jingyu by her side by drinking soup every day.

All the members of Xiaochaohui have been thrown to Dali Temple, and the new emperor will return to Chang'an in a few days. As long as he guarantees that Ji Jingyu will not be fooled by other people in the next few days, there will be no more problems.

During the period, Ji Xinxue coaxed Ji Jingyu to write a note for him, accusing the officials who had been imprisoned in Dali Temple to provoke the relationship between the Tian family brothers and sisters, to speak rudely to the princess and even to do something to the princess.

Before the new emperor returned to Chang'an, the news that Princess Anwu would slap people when she broke into Xiaochao and this note written in Ji Jingyu's handwriting and Ji Xinxue's tone were delivered to the new emperor.

Short laughter suddenly sounded in the quiet tent, "Let them all come over and see how Jingyu can't accommodate the sisters."

Mo Yao, who was sitting in the corner of the tent with his sword in his arms, opened his eyes silently. He was the only one in the tent, and the new emperor was talking to him.

"Who?" Mo Yao asked.

The new emperor was silent for a long time before speaking, "The courtiers and princesses of the Xiaochaohui."

"Yes." Mo Yao got up and left, not caring at all why the new emperor was silent.

The first person to arrive at the new emperor's tent was Bai Qianli. She calmly walked to the head of civil servants and bowed to the new emperor, "Your Majesty".

In addition to following the Queen and King Li to the city of Chang'an but being turned away, Bai Qianli also made other efforts for King Li's throne.

For example, ordering people to hide the memorials of all parties reporting the chaos in Nanzhao, Tubo and Turks, and bury it for King Jia.

Unfortunately they all failed.

The new emperor nodded towards Bai Qianli, "Zhongshu Ling."

He knew what Bai Qianli was thinking, but in a short time, he didn't plan to touch Bai Qianli.

If Bai Qianli is willing to hand over Yuxi and the 'Seven Skills Box' left by Emperor Wu Ning for future generations, he can even let Bai Qianli continue to be a 'Prime Minister'.

The next ones who entered the tent were several princesses, Ji Minyan pulled Ji Mingtong, Ji Jingrou pulled Ji Baoshan, greeted the new emperor and Bai Qianli in turn, and looked at the new emperor inquiringly.

The new emperor picked up the booklet at hand and shook it, saying concisely, "The booklet sent by Jingyu and Xinxue."

Anxiety appeared in the eyes of the princesses, and Ji Baoshan couldn't help but took two steps forward, "Aye?"

The new emperor shook his head, "The ministers haven't arrived yet."

Ji Baoshan still wanted to pester her, but Ji Minyan covered her mouth, so she could only retreat to Ji Minyan's side with a face full of reluctance.

Soon after, the real members of the Xiaochaohui, the clan, nobles and courtiers entered the tent one after another.

The face of the new emperor became indifferent to the naked eye. He raised the booklet and wanted to throw it on these people, but felt that it was too wasteful. Jingyu asked someone to send some brochures."

The courtiers looked at each other, and no one was willing to go forward first.

Ji Mingtong didn't care so much, she pushed away Ji Minyan's hand holding her, and rushed to the position pointed by Xindi.

After the funeral procession left Chang'an, rumors spread all day long that Ji Jingyu complained that the new emperor was biased, and that he was dissatisfied with the sisters' fiefs, titles, and places of food.

These rumors all come from the notebooks that Chang'an Xiaochao will send here.

The notebooks not only contained the content of the daily discussion at the Chang’an Xiaochaohui, but also the events that happened in the palace. Like the notebooks sent from various places, they were sorted by the courtiers before being presented to the new emperor.

So much so that there is no secret in the contents of the booklet.

On the first day, someone in Xiaochao said that the princesses had no merit or virtue, and that His Majesty's reward was too generous, and the king showed hesitation.

On the second day, King Ling and Princess Anwu broke up unhappy. Princess Anwu went to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing to relax, accompanied by the Jinwu Guards who were inseparable.

On the third day, some people in Xiaochao said that the princesses' food towns far surpassed that of King Li, and the clan might feel dissatisfied. They asked Ling Wang to persuade His Majesty to reduce the princesses' food towns, but Ling King seemed hesitant and did not reply immediately.

On the fourth day, the king said that he had more food than the princesses, and that if you want to reduce the food, you should start with him.Someone objected, saying that the king is His Majesty's only son, and that special measures should be taken to reassure the people.King Ling remained silent.

On the fifth day, when Princess Anwu returned to the palace, more and more courtiers asked King Ling to persuade His Majesty to reduce the princesses' living expenses, but King Ling still refused to let go.

The hateful thing is that other people's speeches at the Xiaochao meeting were "someone said", but when it was Ji Jingyu's turn, it was "the king showed hesitation" and "the king seems to be hesitant"...

Ji Mingtong clenched his lower lip, with both anger and relief in his eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "I knew these villains were entrapping my brother, and they dared to do anything to my sister! Aye, you must do it for brother and sister! call the shots!"

"Sister, let me see it too!" Ji Baoshan stood on tiptoe holding Ji Mingtong's leg, barely able to read some content but found that she couldn't read all the words on it, and immediately froze in place.

When Ji Minyan and Ji Jingrou saw Ji Mingtong's reaction, they were worried about Ji Xinxue and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't believe that Ji Jingyu would be dissatisfied with their fief and food town. They must be from Chang'an. Ji Jingyu and Ji Xinxue have no elders around them. , deliberately bullying them!

The Prince of Qinghe County stepped forward and took away the note that Ji Mingtong was holding tightly in his hand, read out the contents of the note aloud, put away the note, and said in a deep voice, "If you attack the clan for no reason, you will be detained in the Zongren Temple according to the law. On that day, the crime of attacking the princess will be increased by one grade, and it can be dealt with as disrespectful, and it should be demoted three grades in a row, punished with a staff of twenty, and imprisoned for three months."

After three months, whether you will be "unemployed" can only depend on fate.

Both Cui Taibao and Jiang Taishi avoided the eyes of the prince of Qinghe County at the same time, and refused to answer the words of the prince of Qinghe County.

The Jiang faction and the other members of the family faction naturally took over the words of the prince of Qinghe County. The words contained the connotation that Princess Anwu's trespassing in the small court hall was against the rules. It is guessed that there was a misunderstanding in it. discuss.

Ji Mingtong looked at the courtiers with gradually blank eyes.

She still remembered that a few days ago, someone said that King Ling didn't order the courtiers of Chang'an Xiaochaotang to stop mentioning the matter of reducing the princesses' food, because he didn't want to mention this matter with the new emperor himself, implying that Chang'an Xiaochaotang The courtiers made the papers for him.

The new emperor was furious about this, but some courtiers comforted the new emperor, saying that the Lingwang was young after all, and it is not surprising that he took a long time to think about the words of the courtiers in Chang'an, and it may not be that he was playing hard to catch.Please don't be angry, the new emperor, and make a decision after returning to Chang'an to ask Ling Wang what he thinks in person.To avoid blaming the Spirit King and affecting the relationship between father and son.

The two sets of rhetoric turned out to be almost the same, they were both discussed after persuading the new emperor to return to Chang'an.

Didn't these courtiers deliberately bully Ji Jingyu, but they just liked being kind?

When Ji Minyan and Ji Jingrou found out that Ji Mingtong was also surrounded by cunning courtiers, they both felt helpless.

When the courtiers comforted the new emperor Lingwang when he was young, it was obvious that he had become unreasonable to discredit Ji Jingyu, because seeing that the new emperor's anger towards Ji Jingyu hadn't reached the level they wanted to see, they wanted to save some money. Riji Jingyu's fault.

Now there are notebooks written in Ji Jingyu’s handwriting and Ji Xinxue’s tone. The ministers of the Chang’an court who pass the notebooks here every day are all imprisoned in Dali Temple for colliding with the princess. The reason is all on Ji Jingyu and Ji Xinxue , These people still want the new emperor to return to Chang'an to deal with this matter, obviously they want to protect the people in Dali Temple.

Ji Mingtong... Oh, little fool.

Those who mourned Emperor Yanguang returned to Chang'an on the tenth day.

With the new emperor here, Ji Xinxue was no longer afraid that Ji Jingyu would be tricked by others, and happily agreed to go outside the city with Ji Jingyu to meet the new emperor and Queen Mother Su.

In order to maintain the image of just recovering from a serious illness, Ji Xinxue deliberately paid attention to dressing up, and asked Qingyun to comb a bun with a lot of broken hair for him, wet the broken hair with floral oil, and curl it at the temples to look natural. radians.

Ji Xinxue's skin was very fair, and she lay on the bed for a few days, her face was almost bloodless, so she didn't need to put on extra makeup.

The pea green dress not only matched Ji Xinxue's complexion, but also properly covered Ji Xinxue's bulging belly because she always had meals with Mrs. Zhong recently.

In the end, Ji Xinxue hesitated for a while between the hairpin and the silk flower, and finally stretched out her trembling hand to the silk flower.

He chose a moon-white silk flower, tightly wrapped the petals in the palm of his hand, wrinkled it, and then carefully pinned the silk flower in the right position.

Looking at the little lady in the bronze mirror who seemed to have just gotten up from the hospital bed, Ji Xinxue intentionally showed a bright smile for comparison.

Yes, today's aesthetics have not run away from home!

Ji Jingyu personally came to pick Ji Xinxue out, but after seeing Ji Xinxue lying limply on the soft couch and coughing, she changed her mind.

"Axue?" He walked up to Ji Xinxue, and deliberately bent down to talk to Ji Xinxue.

Knowing that Ji Jingyu was about to enter the door, Ji Xinxue, who had deliberately posed for a long time, raised her head slowly, with the corners of her mouth half-curved, as if she was so weak that even the corners of her mouth were effortlessly trying to pretend nothing had happened.

This is the perfect expression that Ji Xinxue practiced after secretly looking in the mirror for a long time when she was lying on the bed bored, and it was almost guaranteed that there would be no dead spots.

Seeing the obvious distress in Ji Jingyu's eyes, Ji Xinxue gave herself a thumbs up in her heart, and said softly, "Brother is here, when are we leaving?"

Ji Jingyu stretched out her hand to straighten Ji Xinxue's curly hair from her sideburns to the back of her ears, and said warmly, "It's windy outside the city, don't go, Aye knows you're unwell, so I won't bother with you about such trivial matters."

When Ji Jingyu moved Ji Xinxue and it took nearly half an hour to adjust to the perfect sideburns, Ji Xinxue's expression gradually became stiff. After hearing that Ji Jingyu didn't plan to take him out again, Ji Xinxue completely broke her defense.

Ji Xinxue grabbed Ji Jingyu's hand that was trying to move his other temple, barely maintaining a smile on her face, "I'm not feeling ill."

The old doctor who checked his pulse and prescribed medicine every day said that he was strong enough to fish in the lake.

The eye pain in Ji Jingyu's eyes almost turned into reality, "Good boy, take care of your illness in the palace, I promise to tell Aye the truth about your situation, please come and visit you."

Ji Xinxue threw away Ji Jingyu's hand expressionlessly, and ran out of the room like a gust of wind, "I'm really fine, hurry up, I'll wait for you in the carriage."

The stiff person turned into Ji Jingyu, who was stunned for a moment staring at the hand that was thrown aside, and stared stiffly at the door.

It seems that something ran out just now?

Before Ji Jingyu could complete his self-deception, Ji Xinxue ran back again. He went straight to the dowry to get the bronze mirror and clear oil with floral fragrance. He held the bronze mirror bigger than his head in his left hand, and two porcelain jars the size of fists in his right hand. Can, waved the bronze mirror at the stunned Ji Jingyu, "Go, it's too late!"

After all, Ji Xinxue didn't wait for Ji Jingyu's reaction, turned around and ran outside.

His time, which used to be abundant, is now full of uncertainty.

It's all because of his carelessness. He already knew that the new emperor was a killer with a bun, but he believed that Ji Jingyu would not do anything to his hair. Alas.
