Daughter's favorite concubine: Don't come here, the black-bellied prince

Chapter 971 The Extra Story of Chu Mingxuan and Jin He (16)

I can't hide from it all the time!

Jin He yawned a lot, and stared at Aunt Han pitifully: "I'm sleepy, what can I do until I wake up tomorrow, okay?"

Of course, Aunt Han would not be fooled by her, and she said calmly, "I am asking now, and Master Jin will ask in person tomorrow."

Jin He froze, put down the hand covering her mouth, and said with an apologetic smile: "What does Aunt Han want to hear? Xiaohe should know everything and talk endlessly." Deep sleepiness hit her, and she couldn't help hitting again. yawn.This time it's not an act.

"Miss Jin has been missing for half an hour, and was with the second prince when she was found." Aunt Han smoothed the folds on the jacket slowly, "I want to know what happened between Miss Jin and the second prince during that half hour?" What's the matter?"

"Nothing happened!" Jin He answered too eagerly. Aunt Han glanced at him indifferently, and looked away uneasily. Immediately, he realized that he was suspicious of a guilty conscience, so he hurriedly turned back and said, "Let's go with Aunt Han." After the crowd dispersed, I was almost knocked down. The second prince rescued me and took me to a safe place to hide, and came out to find you when the crowd dispersed."

"If Mr. Jin asks, Ms. Jin will answer in the same way." Aunt Han's eyes were as calm as water, without waves or ripples, making it impossible to guess the meaning.She paused, and when Jin He thought she could leave, she spoke again, "Although the nickname 'Xiaohe' sounds nice, it should be reserved for close people. Remember to call yourself He Niang in front of people from now on."

"He Niang, thank you for reminding Aunt Han." Jin He obediently agreed, seeing Aunt Han leaning back on the brocade mat and not talking anymore, knowing that she had passed the test, she couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bent over and got out of the car Curtain, holding Yun'er's arm to get out of the car.

The carriage quickly turned around, took Aunt Han away, and sent her back to his house.

Jin He first went to say good night to his uncle and aunt before going back to his yard. After washing up, he went to bed early. He had no dreams all night and didn't wake up until the next morning.

Originally, the Lantern Festival was over, and the New Year was over, and all the officials had to return to the state of going to the morning court every day, and going to work in various yamen after the court.However, since there has been no snow this year, the emperor followed Shen Xiang's suggestion and personally brought the queen and all the concubines to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense on the [-]th day, praying for auspicious snow from the sky, in order to pray for the auspicious omen of "auspicious snow for a good year".

Officials and wives of the third grade and above, as long as they are not bedridden, are ordered to accompany the imperial driver, and they must stay in Xiangguo Temple for three days before returning.Naturally, Jin Wencai and Mrs. Mo went with him, and the old lady, Mrs. Jin, Jin He's grandmother, also went with her.Only Jin Yingjie, Jin Yinghao and his wife, and Jin He were left in Jin's mansion.

According to rumors in the capital, if there is no snow after offering incense, the emperor will fast for a month, reflect on his mistakes, and postpone the spring draft until the next year.

When Jin He first heard it, he couldn't help shaking his head.How can people control the climate, even the Son of Heaven.But after thinking about it, the emperor has the world in mind, and it is a good thing to worry about the country and the people, but he used the wrong method. Instead of respecting ghosts and gods, it is better to work hard, govern with benevolence and love the people.However, if the draft is really postponed until next spring, although there is no guarantee that the fate of entering the palace will be changed, at least it will give her a chance to breathe.

On the [-]th day, Jin He woke up very early.As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard magpies calling on the branches outside the window.She couldn't help being stunned, sitting on the bed and thinking, is this year's draft really going to be cancelled?But thinking about it again, the emperor went to Xiangguo Temple for only the second day, and it might be too early to say that it will be cancelled.
