auspicious time has come

Chapter 175 Ask Mrs. Ji to be a teacher
"Waiting for a long time." When the prince took a seat next to Xiaoji, he said in a casual voice: "Sit."

"Yes, thank you Your Highness."

After Ji Nanxian sat down, he said with a smile: "Your Highness seems to be in a good mood."

The crown prince nodded: "Today, a doctor who was newly invited into the palace is very skilled. After the father took the medicine prescribed by him, the situation improved a lot. The father just took a rest after dinner, and he may be able to recover tonight." sleep tight."

Ji Nanxian: "That's good."

"And what happened in the morning court today, did you hear about it?" The prince asked with a smile as he took the teacup presented to him by his confidant in the palace.

Ji Nanxian said truthfully: "I have heard it a little bit, but I don't know the details."

"Then I told you to listen to it." The prince took a sip of hot tea to moisten his throat, and then told Ji Nanxian what happened today.

"The envoy Xiao Jie should really thank His Highness well." Ji Nanxian said: "After today, the rumors about the so-called private treasure map, Dingbei Hou can finally get rid of seven out of ten. Eight."

"Emissary Xiao Jie came to Beijing this time with sincerity, and I just did what I should do." The prince said slowly: "Emissary Xiao Jie is a rare smart person, so although he is sincere, he may not be without success. Lu...Since ancient times, it is not without precedent that the king forced his ministers to rebel, isn't the second brother just a bloody example?"

Rebellion is certainly wrong, it is a big mistake.

He would often think, is the throne really what the second brother really wants?Or did he just want to use the imperial power to fight for justice for himself?
But in the eyes of the father, the second brother is just a rebellious son who betrayed his father.

The second younger brother's actions were indeed too extreme, and he wanted to use this to make his father reflect and let his father see his mistakes-it didn't make sense, so he could only use swords and blood to prove right or wrong.

But this idea may be extremely difficult to realize.

Father doesn't know how to reflect, or... Father doesn't dare to reflect.

These days, he often heard old things from his sick and confused father, but those words were still full of self-deceiving resentment and anger.

Ji Nanxian lowered his eyes when he heard the words, but did not take the words about King Jin.

He has always been cautious in his words and deeds, the prince has long been used to it, and he can understand it very well, so he just went on and said: "Xiao Jieshi is naturally different from the second brother. The difference is that the former is in a more difficult and dangerous situation. A little carelessness will lead to an abyss. My father has almost lost the ability to make independent judgments, and most of the court and Chinese officials and aristocratic families regard Xiao Jieshi as a foreign enemy. What's the difference in rebellion?"

Hearing him use the word "force rebellion", Ji Nanxian felt admiration in his heart: "Your Highness is very kind."

Those who are born supreme are often extremely difficult to empathize with those who are struggling under the throne, and their arrogance and indifference are mostly engraved in their bones.

"It's not good to talk about." The prince smiled: "It's also for my own sake. After all, at such a critical moment, Dasheng really can't stand the big turmoil anymore. I'm just weighing the pros and cons, and I have two It's all about winning people's hearts—although I never regarded the teacher's faction as a real rival, but I don't want to be a puppet in the future, and I have to guard against many things. Stand by my side and balance the situation for me."

"His Royal Highness just mentioned 'forcing people to rebel'. Just like what my sister-in-law used to say before, a man who was about to starve to death stole a steamed bun to feed his hunger. Although it was wrong, there is no need to be ashamed." Ji Nanxian said: "Similarly, your Highness, as the crown prince, if you have a benevolent heart and no means of stratagem, it is difficult to control the stability of the country - to care about the long-term stability of all people in the world, and to govern, even if you have a mind to calculate, you will not fall behind, and you will not do bad things. , it is a great good.”

The prince smiled and shook his head: "Nan Xian, you can actually flatter now."

Ji Nanxian also smiled and said: "It's just a heartfelt speech."

"Speaking of which, my sister has great wisdom." The crown prince sighed: "Among the three brothers and sisters in your family, the young lady Ji Ji is the one who has the most true biography of Ji Taifu, not only in knowledge, but also in her unique insights into the world .”

"Yes." Ji Nanxian nodded with a smile in agreement: "When the ancestor was alive, he often said that among our brothers and sisters, Ah Heng had the most spiritual talent, so the ancestor liked to bring her by his side the most, and taught everything personally. It is also often said that in the future, Ah Heng will be better than blue—”

Only later...

Ah Weng left early, and Ah Heng encountered such a big change.

The prince obviously thought of this too, but he didn't show any regrets, but said: "Perhaps it is Miss Ji who has had experiences that others have never had. Only when she is in a difficult situation can she have the ability to empathize with others."

As she said that, she looked at Ji Nanxian with a smile: "Miss Ji's many qualities, if used in governing the country, will be of great help... Nanxian, I can count on you to steal my teacher. "

Ji Nanxian smiled and sighed: "As an elder brother, I have been inferior to her in everything since I was young, and now I have ended up stealing my teacher..."

The prince borrowed his words just now, and said with relief: "For the long-term plan of the country, there is no need to be ashamed."

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and ate half a cup of tea.

When putting down the teacup, Ji Nanxian said: "Speaking of which, Your Highness has the heart of peace, if Xiao Jie envoy also came here to seek peace, then he is truly a fellow traveler."

Xiao Mu came this time to seek peace, he already knew from his sister, but it is not appropriate to speak to the crown prince right now.

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, His Royal Highness has also chosen this path. If he can really be a "fellow traveler", it will be the best situation.

"Yes." The crown prince said: "I really want to have a good talk with Jieshi Xiao. It's just that I have protected him in the early court today. If I have any private contacts with him again Secret, not to mention the officials like the teacher, even the emperor, I am afraid that he will be suspicious at this juncture. If you really arouse the suspicion of the emperor, it will be a great trouble for me and him."

Ji Nanxian nodded: "His Royal Highness is reasonable, this matter is not urgent, there is always a chance."

"Speaking of which..." The prince didn't know what to think of, suddenly lowered his voice, thinking.

Ji Nanxian then waited seriously.

"Miss Ji is returning to Beijing with Xiao Jieshi this time?" the prince asked.

Ji Nanxian: "?"

Here we go again?
"Sister She might not be safe traveling alone, so she followed Xiao Jie to send the group back to Beijing." Ji Nanxian explained: "But afterward, His Royal Highness entrusted Shaoyan to pick them up, so they were divided into two ways. My sister will return to Beijing one day early for Xiaojie envoy."

"So that's how it is." The crown prince smiled knowingly, and asked again: "Then this time Miss Ji returned home, did you mention Jieshi Xiao?"

Ji Nanxian only said: "Of course I mentioned it, I only said that when he was in Beidi, Xiao Jie envoys mother and son to take care of her."

The prince's eyes brightened slightly: "Oh? According to this, Mrs. Xiao is also very satisfied with Miss Ji?"

Ji Nanxian: "..."

Isn't that what he wanted to express?
Only helplessly laughed and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, don't make fun of my younger sister..."

"This is not a joke, my intuition has always been very accurate." The prince smiled and said, "How about a bet between you and me?"

"What do you want to bet, Your Highness?"

"Just bet on whether I can be a matchmaker between Xiao Jieshi and Lingmei in the future—"

Ji Nanxian laughed again: "His Royal Highness has never even seen Shemei and Xiao Jieshi standing together... How did such deep obsession come from? Is it just based on the few words of the previous minister?"

"Otherwise, how can it be called intuition? You just say whether to gamble or not?"

"Your Highness wants to gamble, so Nanxian will accompany you." Ji Nanxian felt in his heart that the chance of winning the bet should be quite high.

Although he also suspected that his younger sister had a strong relationship with Dingbeihou before, but his younger sister also made it clear last night that the two were in an alliance, and he has already let go of that tone.

As for A Yao's far-fetched guesses, they are purely wild imaginations.

With Ah Heng's lack of scruples, if he really has a sweetheart, wouldn't everyone in the family know about it?
When the crown prince was thinking about what bet to make, he heard a voice from the palace outside the study: "Your Highness, the princess is asking to see you."

"Just let people come in." The prince also put down the teacup, subconsciously looking at the door that was pushed open.

A little girl about seven or eight years old came in with a bun and a goose-yellow skirt, and saluted solemnly: "Father, Lord Ji."

Ji Nanxian got up and saluted: "Princess."

"Why is Yi'er here at this time, what's the matter looking for the father?" The prince said with a gentle smile.

"I'm not here to find my father, but Lord Ji." Princess Jiayi looked at Ji Nanxian: "I'm here to return Lord Ji's book."

Hearing this, the prince looked at the box held in the hands of the envoy who followed her, and couldn't help but wonder: "Nan Xian, when did you borrow the book for her to read?"

Ji Nanxian was also taken aback when he heard the words: "Didn't His Highness ask the princess to come and find some local travel notes from the minister?"

"When did I say that?" The prince looked at his daughter.

The girl raised her chin confidently: "If I don't say that, I'm afraid Mr. Ji won't borrow it."

The prince sighed and shook his head: "What book do you want to read, just ask your teacher—"

As he said that, he suddenly remembered: "Oh, I forgot, you drove away the new teacher two days ago - but I haven't had time to ask you, how did this young master Zou offend you? Said that those teachers can only teach you chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, and want to change to someone who teaches history... What, could it be that Zou Shaofu's history books are not good?"

"Of course not." The girl pursed her lips and said, "When talking about the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, he told me the story of the widow Gao Xing who mutilated herself and cut her nose to keep the festival. When it came to the Western Han Dynasty, he specifically chose " "Biography of Women" has been talked about for several days! Father, do you think this is telling history?"

The prince didn't answer but instead asked: "So, you don't like to hear these anymore?"

"Of course, what I want to listen to is a serious collection of classics and history. They are simply fooling me." The girl frowned in thought: "You said, if I were the grandson of the emperor, not the princess, would they still be fooling me like this?"

"Then change it again." The crown prince still didn't answer, just said: "Change until you are satisfied."

There are some things that he wants Yi'er to think about, explore and choose by himself.

"I already have the teacher I want." The girl smiled and looked at Ji Nanxian: "I want Mr. Ji to be my teacher."

"Oh?" The prince smiled and raised his eyebrows: "So returning the book is an excuse, is it true that you are a teacher?"

"This..." Ji Nanxian smiled flattered, but was even more puzzled: "How can I be the teacher of the princess?"

"Master Ji is too modest. Although I am only eight years old this year, I have heard Mr. Qinghan's name. You are a serious Jinshi, so why can't you be my teacher?" Princess Jiayi said with admiration in her eyes: "Besides I have carefully read your annotations on these books, such insight, such broad-mindedness and understanding, after reading it, I feel suddenly enlightened, as if there is another world, these are exactly what I am fascinated by! "

The prince couldn't help laughing and said: "Nan Xian, it seems that she really wants to be a teacher. You know her temperament. If you don't agree, she will be tortured."

"But..." Ji Nanxian laughed and said, "The minister has never made any comments on these books, and the princess may have misunderstood."

"Your Excellency Ji is not just trying to evade this matter, but tricked me?" Princess Jiayi pointed to the box in the hand of the envoy: "I think these travel notes are interesting, and I wanted to send people out of the palace to buy a few copies back. , but after inquiring about it, I found out that they are all orphan copies, and they were kept in the family of Mr. Ji. If this annotation was not made by Mr. Ji, who could it be?"

Ji Nanxian shook his head and said with a smile: "I haven't read it carefully, I have to look at it to know."

The maid then presented the box.

He opened it, took out a copy, and saw a page with annotations, smiled, and said: "The princess really misunderstood, the annotations on it just look at the handwriting, it was left by my sister a few years ago."

Princess Jiayi was stunned, then blinked: "Miss Ji's younger sister?"

"Yes, there are two younger sisters in Chen's family, and what I'm talking about is Yaomei Hengyu."

Princess Jiayi was extremely curious: "May I ask how old this lady is?"

"I have turned eighteen."

"You're just a girl..." Princess Jiayi was very surprised: "This is another comment from a few years ago..."

The girl was in shock for a while, and then her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she said firmly: "Then I want Mrs. Ji to be my teacher!"

The prince and Ji Nanxian looked at each other and smiled.

"What? Didn't the father just say that you want to change it until I am satisfied?" Princess Jiayi was afraid that her father would not agree, so she hurriedly said, "Let me tell you, although Mrs. Ji has no official status and no fame, but In terms of knowledge and knowledge, it is easy to get a champion in the exam."

"It's not because of fame or official status." The prince looked at the girl and said with a smile: "It's no small matter to be a teacher, Miss Ji's temper is much stronger than yours, it's not because you call her, If you want to hurry up—you might as well ask your aunt first, and after learning about Mrs. Baji’s deeds, it’s not too late to make a decision.”

Deeds?

Princess Jiayi was a little puzzled and a little curious.

A quarter of an hour later, after taking a bath, the princess, who was sitting at the dressing table with her hair twisted by a maid, saw her daughter rushing in like the wind.

Opening his mouth to cast a word, he said out of breath, "Aniang, do you know Miss Ji?"

……

Heng Yu, who was leaning on the couch and reading a book, suddenly sneezed.

　A chapter of [-] words, the end of the month, how about asking for a monthly pass?
　　Good night everyone, sweet dreams (づ￣3￣)づ
