I was a princess in ancient times

When Ji Xinxue found Ji Mingtong, Ji Mingtong was arguing with Princess Dehui and Ji Cheng about what to eat.

Seeing that Ji Mingtong's two companions were not there, he told Ji Mingtong directly that the Empress Dowager Jiang was attacking the queen.

Princess Dehui and Ji Cheng will know about what happened in Ningshou Palace sooner or later, so there is no need to hide it from them.

Ji Mingtong was stunned, his first reaction was not worry but curiosity, "What does King Xiang and Concubine Cui... have to do with my mother?"

Ji Xinxue didn't know either, he looked at Ji Jingrou's court lady.

Ji Jingrou's maid's head drooped deeper and she was sweating thinly under the gaze of Ji Xinxue and Ji Mingtong, her voice trembling, "I don't know."

She just followed Ji Jingrou's order to send news to Ji Xinxue.

Ji Cheng looked at everyone's faces, except for Yu Heng who was calm, Ji Xinxue, Ji Mingtong and Princess Dehui were all dazed.

He sadly reminded the bewildered people, "When the empress was in charge of the harem, this kind of thing happened in the palace." If you don't look for the empress, who should you look for?

Even if Concubine Cui and King Xiang were indecent in the Palace of Concubine Cui and not in the garden, the Queen's charges would be lighter.

The three people with dazed faces suddenly realized, and cast admiring gazes at Ji Cheng, and Ji Xinxue humbly asked for advice, "Uncle, what punishment will the queen receive?"

When Ji Cheng was thinking seriously, the jumps on his body, which were the same as those of Ji Mingtong and Princess Dehui, turned into silence.He pondered for a while, then looked at Ji Mingtong, "If it's as light as losing the phoenix seal and the power to manage the six palaces, if it's more serious..." Ji Cheng smiled wryly, "I can't guess."

Concubine Cui and King Xiang's indecentness is just a royal scandal, but the person who broke the matter was King Li, and the person who made it big is also King Li, and now the person who wants to use this incident to anger the Queen is Empress Dowager Jiang.

The affair went from a royal scandal to a partisan battle, starting with King Li and Queen Mother Chiang trying to influence those involved.

No matter how much Ji Cheng was influenced by his family background, he was still just a young man who hadn't grown up yet, so how dare he speak out about the dispute between court and court?

"Don't worry, the Empress Dowager Su and my aunt will protect the Empress Dowager." Princess Dehui looked at Ji Mingtong worriedly.

Ji Cheng also comforted Ji Mingtong, "The root of this matter is still the royal scandal, it's not that the Empress Dowager Jiang and King Li can do whatever they want, after all, my grandfather must nod."

Even if it is just to cover up the royal scandal, the queen cannot be severely punished.

As far as he knows, unless the Queen does something wrong that His Majesty cannot tolerate, Her Majesty will try her best to keep the Queen as she did when she first took the throne.

Because His Majesty didn't want the heirs of famous families to give birth to legitimate sons and daughters, for fear that the children who lived in the mansion would be wronged.

It's a pity that he couldn't disclose these words to Ji Mingtong.

Ji Mingtong punched his face with his hands, his expression gradually became melancholy, "I'm not worried."

Her affection for the queen has been worn down too much, and she is more worried that Ji Jingyu will be implicated by the queen than the queen.

No matter how much the empress committed a crime in this matter, at most she would lose power and position, and her life would not be in danger. Ji Mingtong felt that with her, elder brother and elder sister around, the empress's life would not change much.

But her elder brother is different. Her elder brother must not change from the eldest son to the bastard.

Although Ji Mingtong said that she was not worried, she was obviously in a bad mood, and she was no longer in the mood to argue with Princess Dehui and Ji Cheng about the lunch menu.

Everyone was worried about Ji Mingtong, so they deliberately stayed in the dining hall to accompany Ji Mingtong, waiting for the latest news from Ningshou Palace.

When school was about to end, everyone got the latest news from the maid sent by Ji Minyan.

The queen handed over the phoenix seal and was banned for half a year.

All affairs in the harem will be taken care of by the Empress Dowager Jiang and the Empress Dowager Su for the time being, and the new emperor and three concubines will be in charge of the harem.

Before everyone could figure out how to comfort Ji Mingtong, Ji Mingtong had already clapped his hands with a smile on his face, "My mother is grounded, it's not convenient for me to visit her, why don't you hold a banquet in the palace to thank you for accompanying me, let's all go to my palace for a drink .”

In Ji Mingtong's eyes, the punishment the queen received was not a punishment, but a return to normal.

In Ji Mingtong's memory, the queen always made mistakes and was punished when she managed the palace.

Ever since the Empress Dowager Su appointed the nanny and aunt in the palace to manage the palace instead of the queen, and let the female lecturer restrain the queen, until the new emperor ascended the throne, the queen has hardly made any mistakes.

Now that the queen loses the power to manage the six palaces and is confined, isn't it exactly the same as when the princess lost the power to manage the palace and was restrained by the female lecturer?

Seeing Ji Mingtong's smiling face, everyone was not relieved, but was even more worried that Ji Mingtong was trying to make a fool of himself.

Ji Xinxue had no choice but to interrupt Ji Mingtong's interest, "The queen has just been punished, so it's best not to get together for a drink."

Fortunately, although Ji Mingtong didn't look normal, he listened to the persuasion as always, changed the day of drinking to next month after hearing Ji Xinxue's words, and honestly went with Ji Xinxue to pay respects to Queen Mother Su.

Princess Dehui originally wanted to go to the Tranquility Palace with the two of them, but on the way, she met someone sent by the virtuous concubine to look for her, so she could only tell Ji Xinxue to take good care of Ji Mingtong.

In Tranquility Palace, there are not only Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su, but also Ji Minyan and Ji Jingrou.

The queen is not here, and has already returned to Fengzao Palace to be grounded.

Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su treated Ji Mingtong and Ji Xinxue with the same kind attitude as before, but there was an unconcealable tiredness between their brows.

Ji Mingtong and Ji Xinxue obediently responded with a few words, and left with Ji Minyan and Ji Jingrou.

Ji Minyan asked Ji Mingtong if he wanted to visit the queen, and saw hesitation and resistance in Ji Mingtong's eyes.A wry smile appeared on her face, it would be fine if Ji Mingtong didn't go, besides visiting the queen during her trip, she also had important matters to tell the queen.

Empress Dowager Jiang aggressively took away the Phoenix seal and the power to manage the harem from the empress, her ambition was obvious.

Fortunately, although the queen lost her phoenix seal and power, her status is still stable.

The most urgent task now is to let the empress understand the situation, even if she is copying the scriptures for the late emperor in the palace every day, she must keep her position, and she must not have the idea of ​​snatching back the Phoenix seal and power from the Empress Dowager Jiang.

Otherwise, he would only make more mistakes and unknowingly do stupid things like stabbing the Queen Mother Su and the new emperor in the back.

Ji Jingrou brought the two younger sisters to her palace, and told them what happened today in a few words.

In addition to taking away the queen's phoenix seal and the power in charge of the harem, Empress Dowager Jiang also wanted to interrogate Concubine Cui and King Xiang. The name was "to deal with the affair between the two as soon as possible, so as not to spread the slanderous words more and more." '

Both the Empress Dowager Su and the princess of Qinghe County insisted on waiting for the king of Qinghe County to recuperate enough to at least be able to get out of bed, and then let the old patriarch personally handle the matter, so the Empress Dowager Jiang temporarily compromised.

In addition, it was proposed by the princess of Qinghe County that the Empress Dowager Su should be in charge of the harem, while the new emperor's third concubine should be in charge of the sixth palace.Ji Jingrou specially asked Ji Xinxue not to forget to remind Concubine Zhong Shu to be careful of Empress Dowager Jiang in the process of assisting the Six Palaces.

Ji Xinxue thought of Concubine Zhong Shu's way of thinking, which was far from the empress's, yet equally crooked, and couldn't sit still. She immediately said goodbye and was going to find Concubine Zhong Shu in Jianjia Palace.

Ji Jingrou showed the same tired smile as Ji Xinxue, and said weakly, "It just so happens that I also want to talk to Empress Duanfei."

Ji Mingtong is rare and perceptive, she looked at Ji Xinxue and then at Ji Jingrou, and said in a low voice, "Then I'll go to Baoshan, and talk to Concubine Rong about today's affairs by the way?"

The sisters looked at each other, sighed in unison, and dispersed.

In the Jianjia Palace, Concubine Zhong Shu was concentrating on copying the script, until she had copied the entire page and waited for the ink to dry with a pen in hand, then she heard Madam Li say that Ji Xinxue was waiting for her in the Nuan Pavilion.

Concubine Zhong Shu smiled, and immediately put down her pen to look for Ji Xinxue.

Ji Xinxue was not in a hurry to discuss business matters with Concubine Zhong Shu, she had dinner with Concubine Zhong Shu first, and then casually asked Concubine Zhong Shu if she knew she was going to assist Concubine Zhong Shu in matters of the Six Palaces.

Concubine Zhong Shu nodded, with hesitation on her face, "There are people from Ningshou Palace who have been here. Please start tomorrow and go to Ningshou Palace every day at the right time to assist Empress Dowager Jiang with the affairs of the Six Palaces. I want to decline, but..."

The people in Ningshou Palace immediately put on a straight face, and asked her if she was unwilling to listen to Queen Mother Jiang because she only had Empress Dowager Su and not Empress Dowager Jiang in her eyes.

Although Concubine Zhong Shu was a bit stupid, she was not stupid. She didn't dare to answer this question, so she could only obediently agree to the matter of going to Ningshou Palace.

Just looking at Concubine Zhong Shu's face, Ji Xinxue knew that when Concubine Zhong Shu refused, she never thought that there were reasons for being filial to the late Emperor, such as pretending to be sick or making excuses to copy scriptures for the late Emperor.He directly revealed that he didn't want to serve the Empress Dowager Jiang, and was intimidated by the people in Ningshou Palace, so he had to compromise.

After figuring out what was going on, Ji Xinxue suddenly didn't know what to say to Concubine Zhong Shu.

On the way to Jianjia Palace, he had already thought about how to instruct Concubine Zhong Shu to avoid the trap in Ningshou Palace, and even thought of many specific ways and reasons why Empress Dowager Jiang might cheat Concubine Zhong Shu, and planned to break up everything he thought of and tell Concubine Zhong Shu , increasing the probability of Concubine Zhong Shu avoiding the pit from the root.

At this moment, Ji Xinxue felt that his idea was ridiculous and superfluous.

If Concubine Zhong Shu could really be taught, it wouldn't be so worrying.

Ji Xinxue swallowed back what she was going to say, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, Auntie, you give me the golden seal when you became a concubine. If the Empress Dowager Jiang wants you to seal or orders you to give her the golden seal of Concubine Shu , you said that the golden seal was lost by the palace people."

Starting tomorrow, he will come to Jianjia Palace to share dinner with Concubine Zhong Shu every day after school, and ask Concubine Zhong Shu what happened in Ningshou Palace by the way.

With such a strict defense, nothing major will happen, after all there are Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su.

It doesn't matter if you make a small mistake, Concubine Zhong Shu has no successor to guard, at worst she will be relegated to the position of Zhaoyi, concubine, or even a nobleman, as long as she lives longer than Queen Mother Jiang, there is hope of returning to the position of concubine.

In the current situation, if he can be deposed quickly, justifiably relieved of the drudgery of being an assistant to the harem, and stay away from the Empress Dowager Jiang, not only is it not bad luck, but it will be a happy event from the sky.

The story of King Xiang and Concubine Cui gradually spread among the people, and the various versions in the legend are even more exciting than what actually happened, and even made the two have various nicknames among the common people.

After all, this matter was brought to the court, and it changed from a royal scandal to a bad state affair.

King Qinghe was recuperating for five days, barely got up from the hospital bed, was pushed to the court in a wheelchair, and asked the new emperor to deal with this scandal as soon as possible.

Because of the great impact of this incident, when King Xiang and Concubine Cui were interrogated again, not only the Empress Dowager Jiang, the Empress Dowager Su and members of the clan were present, but also some nobles and courtiers were present.

The new emperor did not treat King Xiang and Concubine Cui, who were imprisoned in the yamen of the Jinwu Guard, as prisoners, and still supported them according to the rules of the prince and concubine.So when the two were brought in front of everyone, although they were thin and haggard, they were not in a state of embarrassment.

King Qinghe asked in a muffled voice whether King Xiang and Concubine Cui had any excuses.

King Xiang stared blankly at King Qinghe, with no joy or sorrow on his face, as if there was only an empty body standing here, and his soul had long since disappeared.

Prince Qinghe was so annoyed by King Xiang's attitude of waiting to die that his heart beat faster. He barely resisted the urge to kick King Xiang's chest.

Concubine Cui knelt down and kowtowed respectfully under the fierce eyes of Prince Qinghe, and when she raised her head again, tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked up and said, "Prince Xiang and I were framed by someone, I beg the patriarch to uphold justice for us."

Life and death depend on today, she must not sit still and wait for death.

King Xiang is a waste, obviously framed and slandered.When I was in Xindi's study that day, I heard that King Li suggested that the new Emperor should remove him from his name and exile him, but he didn't even have the thought of making life difficult for King Li even if it was death.

This kind of person who can't even take care of herself, let alone take care of her.

Cui...she had already met Shuang Niang, and heard Shuang Niang tell her all kinds of experiences with her own ears, which was far more terrifying than the guesses she made based on various clues.

No one will help her, she can only rely on herself.

King Li snorted coldly, looking at Concubine Cui with disdain.

His fingers hanging by his side moved slowly, and when Concubine Cui said again that it was the Empress Dowager Jiang who harmed her, he rushed towards Concubine Cui without hesitation, raised his palm and slapped it down, his ferocious face could not tell the anger More or more twisted excitement.

Mo Yao appeared behind King Li like a shadow, and easily lifted King Li's fateful collar again, which not only allowed King Li to return to the incompetent gesture he had made in the study of the new emperor, but also made the courtiers face it directly. The ugly look on King Li's face.

Even Cui Taibao, who was hating King Li deeply, and Taishi Jiang, who had taught King Li for many years, closed their eyes subconsciously, feeling their eyes were stinging.

Concubine Cui fell down on the ground, covered her face and let out a proper cry, although her tone was heartbroken but not flustered at all, she methodically accused Empress Dowager Jiang of giving her tea first, and then asked the female officer to coax her on the way back to her residence Picking flowers in a remote place, she was tricked by Empress Dowager Jiang, so she...

The Empress Dowager Jiang sneered, accusing Concubine Cui of talking nonsense, and even clung to her in order to get rid of the crime.

Concubine Cui gritted her teeth, hating that she only focused on panic and crying after waking up, and didn't notice something was wrong immediately, so that when the imperial doctor checked her pulse, she couldn't find out that she had taken medicine through the pulse.

Empress Dowager Jiang's disdainful eyes moved away from Concubine Cui, and landed on King Qinghe and the officials, and said in a solemn voice, "Emperor Daxing has not been buried for more than three months, and these two people are so unscrupulous, it can be seen that they are born obscene and shameless. If people are not severely punished, won’t the courtiers and common people misunderstand that the Tian family is accustomed to such appalling things?”

"Your Majesty thinks how to severely punish the two, so as to serve as an example to others." The Empress Dowager Jiang turned to look at the new emperor, although it was a question, her tone was unquestionable.

Concubine Cui looked at the new emperor through her tearful eyes, her eyes filled with anticipation.

She knew that she didn't do enough, even though she endured the pain and shame, and told the story of her assassination by Queen Mother Jiang in public, she was rejected by Queen Mother Jiang with the word "slander" because there was no evidence.

But she really tried her best... She didn't want to die, let alone bear charges that didn't belong to her.

The new emperor indifferently looked away from the short-term stare with Concubine Cui, "What the queen mother said is that this matter should not be delayed any longer. But now I only have two brothers, King Li and King Xiang, and I really don't want any of them One person lost."

Even if the throne is not abolished, King Xiang will become a useless person just because of his "famous name" among the people.

The new emperor doesn't mind raising such a useless person. If King Xiang can make the Jiang family and Queen Mother Jiang restless, he is willing to pamper King Xiang more.

The Empress Dowager Jiang heard what the new emperor meant, anger flashed in her eyes, and she said coldly, "How can such an unfaithful and unfilial person deserve to be your Majesty's brother? He not only stole his father and concubine, but also committed adultery with his mother. Barbarians can't do such shameless things."

Although the original intention of the Jiang family was only to abolish the possibility of King Xiang inheriting the throne, but now that things are on the line, the Jiang family must not allow King Xiang to remain King Xiang.

Who knows if King Xiang, who is like a walking dead now, will suddenly wake up one day and "revenge" the Jiang family and King Li like crazy?

The Empress Dowager Jiang did not accept the third ending for King Xiang other than death and exile.

Under the crisis of life and death, Concubine Cui felt that she had become smarter. Through the dialogue between Empress Dowager Jiang and the new emperor, she came to the conclusion that she was just an extra in this matter.

Even if King Xiang's waste is like a living walking dead, the people present will still argue about King Xiang and the ending and life and death.

She wanted to live so much, but in the eyes of these people, she was just a dispensable existence.

Killing her casually will not be more difficult than crushing an ant with one's foot.

Concubine Cui was not reconciled, she finally mustered up the courage to go to see Cui Taibao, and in Cui Taibao's eyes saw the same indifference and almost undetectable disgust as the new emperor's eyes.

Looking around, only King Li, who was being carried by Mo Yao, insisted on looking at her, wishing to look at her later.

No, it shouldn't be like this!

Concubine Cui became more and more sober in her desperation, she threw herself on King Xiang, strangled King Xiang fiercely by the neck, and roared ferociously, "Since they want to force us to death, we will go to the late emperor to avenge our grievances."

Why is it possible for King Xiang to be alive, but she must die?

Waste, wake up!

The courtiers are listening to Empress Dowager Su crying and telling the late emperor that there were so many sons, but now there are only three left.It was completely unexpected that Concubine Cui would suddenly attack King Xiang, they were all frightened by Concubine Cui's reaction, and did not bother to rescue King Xiang.

Thanks to Mo Yao who threw King Li to grab Dowager Cui in time, King Xiang, who had already rolled his eyes, was not strangled to death by Dowager Cui in full view.

Concubine Cui was still staring at King Xiang after being pulled away, and she poked at the most painful place of King Xiang, "What is the difference between you and Concubine Zhou and King Zhen? You are all trash! Trash connected by blood! Concubine Zhou has you and King Zhen." King Zhen's two sons are really wrongs that have been cultivated for several lifetimes!"

King Xiang, who was rolling his eyes in the arms of the prince of Qinghe County, suddenly came back to his senses, crawled towards Concubine Cui with a ferocious face, his eyes were full of pain, and shouted, "Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!"

Concubine Cui was happy instead of angry, and her roar was louder than that of King Xiang, "Then tell them why you stole father and concubine in broad daylight, why didn't you say it? Trash!"

The new emperor got up from behind the case, strode over to King Xiang whose complexion suddenly became cloudy and full of confusion, raised his hand on King Xiang's shoulder, and said in a tolerant and serious tone, "Brother will believe you as long as you open your mouth. "

People from the Jiang faction changed countenance when they heard the words, and the Empress Dowager Jiang smashed the string on her wrist to the ground fiercely, and said sharply, "Ji Linyuan, are you so filial to the late emperor?"

Cui's people, however, got a glimpse of hope from the words of the new emperor.

They no longer asked King Xiang to do anything, but only asked Concubine Cui not to affect the reputation of the women of the family.

If Concubine Cui hadn't been able to produce any evidence when accusing Empress Dowager Jiang, they would not have remained silent.

The aristocratic family is still willing to seize every opportunity to exonerate Concubine Cui and King Xiang, even if the reputation among the people can no longer be restored, at least the daughters of the aristocratic family will not marry together because of Concubine Cui.

Because King Xiang spoke up, the almost settled matter took a turn for the better.

King Xiang said that he was called into the palace by someone from Concubine Cui's palace, but he was in vain when he went to Concubine Cui's palace.The female officer in Concubine Cui's palace told him that Concubine Cui did not order anyone to call him into the palace.

King Xiang felt that something was wrong at the time, and wanted to leave the palace immediately, but on the way out of the palace, he bumped into the late emperor's concubines arguing, in order to avoid the late emperor's concubines, he chose to take a detour. After I came here, I had already taken traditional Chinese medicine, and I was unconscious... Only then did I find out that it was Concubine Cui.

Concubine Xiangui and Concubine Yan, who lived in the same palace with Concubine Cui, said that on the day of the accident, King Xiang indeed greeted Concubine Cui after Concubine Cui left, and left soon.

The new emperor was furious when he heard the words, and immediately asked Mo Yao to thoroughly investigate who had stunned King Xiang in the palace, interrogated all the eunuchs and maids who served Dowager Cui, and asked what happened to the person who called King Xiang into the palace.

The efficiency of the Jinwu Guard was extremely fast, but it was a pity that King Xiang spoke too late, and the drug could not be found, only two corpses were found in the remote cold palace.

They are the extraordinarily tall eunuch and the people in Dowager Cui's palace.

Although this cannot prove that Empress Dowager Jiang harmed King Xiang and Concubine Cui, it is enough to convince everyone that Concubine Cui and King Xiang are in the palace garden in broad daylight because of traditional Chinese medicine...

"And then?" Ji Xinxue wondered to herself, no wonder the palace had to make a new book for the eunuchs and maids, and planned to let some people out. It turned out that it was because of the matter of King Xiang and Concubine Cui.

Ji Jingrou picked up a piece of caramel and put it into Ji Mingtong's mouth. Seeing Ji Mingtong's satisfied expression, he gave Ji Xinxue another piece of caramel, and then continued to talk about the result of the previous court's debate on this matter.

The new emperor is determined to keep King Xiang and make the Jiang family feel uncomfortable.King Qinghe did not want to hurt the face of his clan, and the Cui family went all out to clear the charges for King Xiang and Concubine Cui.

The Jiang family was alone and could only retreat.

In order to save King Xiang's face in front of the people as much as possible, the new emperor did not punish King Xiang publicly, but only imprisoned King Xiang for three years in private.

During these three years, King Xiang was not allowed to leave Prince Xiang's mansion and was not allowed to hold a post in the court. He had to copy a volume of filial piety scriptures for the late emperor every day, and his salary and food were directly transferred to the treasury.

"What about Concubine Cui?" Ji Mingtong asked curiously while biting the caramel.

"There will be no more Concubine Cui from now on." Ji Jingrou's expression was complicated, "The king of Qinghe County has already destroyed Concubine Cui's jade plate. Empress Dowager Jiang disagrees with Concubine Cui staying in the palace, so she was kicked out of the palace."

Ji Mingtong's cheerfully shaking calves gradually froze, and he tilted his head to look at Ji Jingrou, "She's home? That's fine."

Ji Xinxue licked the caramel in her mouth with the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't feel any sweetness.

Concubine Liang used her own strength to elevate the declining Cui family and her family to a level where she could compete with the Jiang family. When she passed away in the palace, the Cui family ignored her.

Cui's treatment of Concubine Liang is like this, how could it be possible to make an exception for Concubine Cui who was also found to have "adulterated with her son"?

Ji Mingtong realized from Ji Jingrou and Ji Xinxue's silence that things were not as simple as she imagined, and the haze gradually appeared in his eyes, and asked softly, "Will she die?"

Ji Xinxue shook her head and said honestly, "I don't know."

As long as someone really misses Concubine Cui, even if they can't take her in personally, they can find ways to take care of Concubine Cui in other ways, but Ji Xinxue is not sure if anyone really misses Concubine Cui.

Ji Jingrou reluctantly pursed her lips, and was about to say something casually to divert the topic, when suddenly the palace maid who came hurriedly interrupted her thoughts.

After the maid greeted everyone, she whispered, "Mrs. Cui...Cui Qingxi has gone to Prince Xiang's Mansion."

"Prince Xiang?!" Ji Mingtong opened his mouth in surprise.

"And then?" Ji Xinxue's eyes widened, and she leaned forward, impatient to know the follow-up.

On the contrary, Ji Jingrou became the person who reacted the slowest, repeatedly asking the maid to speak in more detail.

"After Cui Qingxi was kicked out of the palace, she followed behind King Xiang all the time. When she wanted to enter King Xiang's mansion, she was locked out. She lingered outside King Xiang's mansion and refused to leave. The guards of King Xiang's mansion didn't expel her either. After a while, suddenly a group of strong men rushed to the gate of Prince Xiang's mansion and forcibly took Cui Qingxi away." The maid took a breath and continued, "Prince Xiang led people to chase after Cui Qingxi who was about to be sent out of Chang'an at the gate of the city. The person who captured Cui Qingxi had the badge of Prince Li's Mansion on his body, so he brought Cui Qingxi back to Prince Xiang's Mansion."

Ji Mingtong looked bewildered, "Prince Li?"

At the same time, Ji Xinxue and Ji Jingrou thought of the scene where King Li crazily insulted Cui Qingxi and wanted to beat Cui Qingxi several times when they went to pay their respects to the new emperor, with horror on their faces.

Fortunately, King Xiang chased after him, otherwise, how could Cui Qingxi survive in the hands of King Li?

At the same time, the Empress Dowager Jiang of Ningshou Palace also knew about this, she raised her hand and threw it on King Li's face without hesitation, her already unwell complexion became even uglier, "Is this a good thing you did?! "

King Li was even more angry than Empress Dowager Jiang, and said bitterly, "You trash, you can't even understand such a trivial matter."

Empress Dowager Jiang closed her eyes, reluctantly resisting the thought of slapping King Li again.

However, the more King Li thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but said, "How dare Ji Xingzhou take in that bitch? Do you think that Qinghe County King will remove the bitch from the jade plate, so they can be unscrupulous? You bitch..."

"Enough!" Empress Dowager Jiang turned around, "You go, don't bother Cui Qingxi and King Xiang anymore."

When she called King Li, she wanted to ask King Li why he didn't obey her orders and arbitrarily made a big fuss about Cui Qingxi and King Xiang.

According to their original plan, this matter should only be circulated among the courtiers. It would be best if King Xiang could be adopted, but it would be fine to completely eliminate the possibility of King Xiang inheriting the throne.

Empress Dowager Jiang and Grand Master Jiang only wanted to let King Xiang and Cui's mute eat Coptis chinensis, and they didn't want to quarrel with each other to such an endless degree.

Wang Li wore obscene trousers on his boots, shouting adulterers and prostitutes rushed out of the palace gate, almost disrupting all the layout of the Jiang family.

In the Jiang family's plan, it should be that King Li found out that King Xiang and Cui Qingxi were having an affair, and tried to help them hide it but failed. He tried his best to intercede for the two in front of the new emperor, and asked the new emperor not to make a big deal out of it. .

Not only did King Li become a good man, but the Jiang family could also use this opportunity to attack the queen, take back the power of the harem to wait for the future, and then use Cui Qingxi's excuse to blackmail the Cui family.

But King Li...

If it weren't for knowing that King Li hated the new emperor to the bone, Empress Dowager Jiang would have suspected that King Li had been bought by the new emperor.

King Li stared fixedly at the back of the Empress Dowager Jiang, the haze in his eyes became more and more intense, he kicked the chair on his side, and strode away amidst the voices of the court ladies and eunuchs knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, appease your anger".

Empress Dowager Jiang turned around abruptly, clutching her chest amidst the exclamations of the people around her, and lay down softly.

When Ji Xinxue heard the news that Empress Dowager Jiang had suddenly fallen ill, taking advantage of Ji Mingtong's departure, she secretly shared the remaining fruit wine with Ji Jingrou.

First, King Li left angrily, and then Empress Dowager Jiang fell ill.

Wonderful, worth clinking glasses to celebrate.

Because they couldn't guess what happened in Ningshou Palace, the two quickly turned their attention to the British government.

Ji Jingrou also knew that the Duke of England was about to celebrate his birthday, and thought that Ji Xinxue asked her about the Duke of England because she was afraid of offending others in the Duke of England, and felt very disapproving.

It's just a government office, why should Ji Xinxue care so much about it?

Ji Xinxue is not going to marry the man of the Duke's Mansion in the future.

Ji Jingrou's thoughts became more and more intense in the process of talking with Ji Xinxue about the people and affairs of the British government.

After the old British Duke passed away, only the British Duke's old lady, the British Duke and his wife and the three sons of the British Duke lived in the British Duke's mansion.

The eldest son was originally the son of the Duke of England, and his wife was Princess Yiyun of the Prince's Mansion of Xinyang County. They are still the eldest son and wife of the Qi family.

The third son has not made any progress for many years, but it is difficult for him to make further progress from the seventh-rank honorary position. His wife comes from a family named Zheng, and is a famous only son who is studying in the Imperial College.

The sixth son is the biological father of the king of Xianglin County, who is serving as the governor of Yuanzhou.

In Ji Jingrou's eyes, this big family can be completely summed up as "a mess".

Dafang and Sanfang almost wanted to tear themselves apart for the position of the British prince.Dafang and his wife have a deep foundation as the eldest son and wife of the Qi family, and they also have the support of the Xinyang County Prince's Mansion.Sanfang ridiculed that Dafang was deprived of his position as the dead son by the first emperor Jinkou Yuyan. With the favor of the good concubine, the only remaining family was like a dead tree in spring, and Zheng's natal family gradually hardened. Madam's favor is not afraid of Princess Yiyun at all.

Except for Yu Heng, Liufang is in Yuanzhou. Now Jiangnan has not responded to Chang'an's will, and the officials there are not easy to communicate with Chang'an frequently. Liufang has almost no contact with the British government, and it seems that he has given up the position of heir.

Ji Xinxue listened to Ji Jingrou talk about the bad things about the British government with her chin stuck, and gradually began to feel sleepy.

After studying the rivalry between the harem and court, seeing the fight between the Jiang family and the Cui family, and seeing how the eldest and third families of the British government fight for the throne, Ji Xinxue can describe her mood in just two words.

'That's it? '

When leaving Ji Jingrou's palace, Ji Xinxue was saddened that his fruit wine was gone, and only found one unusual place.

Ji Jingrou said that the British father-in-law and his wife loved Sanfang so much that Sanfang competed with Dafang everywhere.

Then why didn't the Duke of England ask for the crown prince for Deputy Captain Qi?

As the head of the Qi family and the mistress of the family, the Duke of England and his wife did not do anything to improve the status of Fuwei Qi and the Zheng family in the Qi family, and allowed the big house to rely on the clan to put pressure on the third house.

Could it be that the British father-in-law's love for the third bedroom is only reflected in Yu Heng?

Perhaps it was because she had put too much energy into various chores recently, and because she drank alcohol the day before yesterday, Ji Xinxue had completely missed the morning class when she opened her eyes.

He lifted the curtain beside the bed, stretched his hand to the place covered by the sun, and asked lazily, "What time is it?"

Qingyun, who was embroidering a handkerchief by the window, immediately said, "It's almost the end of the hour and the beginning of the hour, and the county king has been waiting for you outside for a long time."

"Huh?" Ji Xinxue rolled over and sat up, giving up the idea of ​​going back to sleep again, "When did he come here, is there something wrong, why didn't you call me?"

Qingyun handed a warm towel to Ji Xinxue, and replied, "When I went to Taixue to ask you for leave, the county king came. He said that the fief sent some new gadgets, and you would definitely like them, so I personally Bring it to you."

Ji Xinxue was not interested in new gadgets, but she didn't want Yu Heng to wait any longer, so she hurriedly washed up, changed into clothes that could be seen, and asked the maids to look for Yu Heng with bronze mirrors and dowry with their hair loose.

When they were in Hanzhuyuan before, the two of them were either spending time in Lenghuiyuan or in Ji Xinxue's embroidery building. Ji Xinxue had long been used to chatting with Yu Heng while waiting for the maid to comb his hair.

Most of the time, Ji Xinxue would try to avoid this from happening.

Because Yu Heng is always full of curiosity about the jewelry in his dowry, like a rare and annoying kitten, which makes people feel annoying and can't bear to refuse, so he has to turn into a human-shaped jewelry stand to satisfy Yu Heng's curiosity.

Unfortunately, today's Yu Heng is still full of curiosity about his dowry, and he brought three new sets of jewelry with him.

Ever since Yu Heng approached his dowry, Ji Xinxue closed her eyes and refused to make eye contact with Yu Heng, so as not to soften under Yu Heng's focused and curious eyes.

He casually brought up a topic, trying to divert Yu Heng's attention, "Have you decided what class to attend this afternoon?"

"Yeah." Yu Heng replied calmly.

Ji Xinxue's eyelids twitched, he seemed to hear the sound of gold and jade clashing from inside the dowry, the maid who combed her hair would not make such a low-level mistake, it must be Yu Heng.

You can't open your eyes. When you open your eyes at this time, there is a high probability that you will see Yu Heng holding the jewelry and comparing it awkwardly on his unformed bun.

Yu Heng was very keen, and could immediately catch his gaze through the bronze mirror, staring at him with curiosity and expectation, but he would not make any rude demands.

Ji Xinxue has proved through countless experiences that without any request from Yu Heng, he will take the initiative to put the jewelry selected by Yu Heng on his head.

As it is now.

Ji Xinxue adjusted the position of the phoenix tail stepper with a blank face, so that the jewel tassel hanging down the golden phoenix beak just fell on the position when the corner of his mouth was raised.

He turned his eyes to Yu Heng, showing a sweet smile, "Does it look good?"

For the sake of Yu Heng's foresight, he can borrow the game account to play for a while.

Yu Heng endured the increasingly scorching temperature behind his ears and nodded, and took out a pair of agate pendants from the dowry and handed them to Ji Xinxue.

Anything would look better on Ah Xue.
