The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 112 Spring Festival ([-])

It seems that there was still a little snow a few days ago, but when the beginning of spring arrives, the weather suddenly becomes much warmer.

As the first of the 24 solar terms, Lichun represents the beginning of spring.According to the old practice of the Qing Dynasty, grand official spring festival activities will be held on the day of Lichun every three years.

This year, the beginning of spring comes early, only two days after the Lantern Festival.Although a lot of things happened in this New Year's Palace this year, the Lichun Sacrifice was not affected too much, and it was carried out step by step as usual.

Since ancient times, successive dynasties have regarded agricultural harvests, economic prosperity, ample food and clothing, and national security as the basis for farming people to govern the country, and the Qing Dynasty was no exception.The natural disasters and man-made disasters that have been going on for several years have caused headaches for the imperial court, which is already a big problem. Therefore, this year's Spring Festival must be treated seriously no matter what.

As the son of heaven, Emperor Yuanqi must preside over the Spring Festival activities.It wasn't just him, during the three days of the Spring Festival, all the concubines, royal family, etc. had to follow the emperor to the altar in the suburbs of Beijing and stay at the Huangzhuang in the suburbs of Beijing.

Because after the sacrifice, there will be "Spring Hunting", which is also a major event that the royal family must participate in.

"Princess, are you alright?"

In the carriage, Xia Hong looked worriedly at Yun Ruochen's face as white as fine porcelain. Although her lips were dyed with bright rouge, the haggard feeling was faintly revealed.

Yun Ruochen frowned beautifully, and took another mint ball in his mouth.The road from the palace to the altar, from the altar to the outskirts of Beijing, even though she was sitting in the car, was bumped enough.

"How long will it take to get to Huangzhuang?"

Qiu Rong hurriedly replied: "It's not far away, you should be able to enter Zhuangzi before dark."

"so troublesome……"

Yun Ruochen rubbed his temples, and sighed again for his unbelievable body.

She is usually locked up in the palace, and it is rare to go out for an outing, but she is motion sick like this!

Fortunately, she once told the old emperor that she wanted to learn how to ride a horse before she set off, and the emperor also sent someone to find a little red horse for her as a mount... Now she doubts whether she can sit firmly on the horse.

Before dusk, the huge convoy headed by the emperor finally caught up with the vanguard troops lined up in front of Huangzhuang.When being helped out of the carriage, Yun Ruochen felt that he was not well.

He almost closed his eyes and let the maids wash and remove makeup for him. When he fell on the bed, Yun Ruochen didn't even bother to adjust his sleeping position, and fell asleep on his stomach hugging the quilt.The body is too weak to afford injury!

In her sleep, she felt as if she had soaked in a warm and comfortable hot spring, surrounded by small bubbles, and the dense water vapor made it hard to keep her eyes open, and her limbs and bones were extremely relaxed.

Afterwards, the warmth surrounding her body gradually spread from the outside to the inside, and every meridian was warmly flowing with abundant vitality.This feeling...just like in the previous life, when Master often expanded her meridians...

Uh?
Yun Ruochen faintly sensed that something was wrong, is this really just a dream?Why is the sense of touch so real?

"Um……"

She frowned, bit her lip to gather some energy, and tried to open her eyes, but she still couldn't wake up from this "dream".After an unknown amount of time, she managed to condense a little strength, and slowly opened her eyes a crack.

In fact, as early as she opened her eyes, she probably already guessed what was going on.

Sure enough, when she finally regained consciousness, she saw the familiar black shadow through the faint moonlight outside the tent.

"Staff Nie, you're here..."

Nie Shen was sitting in front of the bed, holding her veins with one hand.

"Princess, why did your meridians suffer such serious injuries again?"

In the darkness, Yun Ruochen could not see his expression, but could feel his dissatisfaction.She sighed, not knowing where to start.

"... Steward Nie, have you seen the things I left in the Prince's Mansion?"

"Well, I found some information."

While Nie Shen was talking to her, he couldn't stop pouring his true energy into her.

A few days ago, Yun Ruochen found an opportunity to go back to the Prince's Mansion, and told both the emperor and Concubine Duan that he wanted to visit his father. In fact, the more important thing was to leave a message for Nie Shen, asking him to help find out about the doctor Zhu.

She hung out a special small sachet outside her original room, and pressed a message in an agreed place, Nie Shen would always see it.However, she didn't expect that Nie Shen moved so quickly, there was news in a few days, and he took the opportunity of her going out to attend the Spring Festival to meet her.

Nie Shen was not led by the nose by Yun Ruochen's deliberate change of subject, but he pulled the conversation back to Yun Ruochen: "Princess, your meridians are extremely weak, even though you have recuperated a lot a few days ago...but you still have to worry about it. You shouldn't be so exhausted!"

No wonder when he sneaked in, Yun Ruochen didn't respond at all, it wasn't until he entered the tent to infuse her with true energy that he reacted.

"...Thank you, Manager Nie, for your concern."

Yun Ruochen gritted his silver teeth lightly, withdrew his hand, and pulled up the quilt to wrap himself up.She was very happy that Nie Shen cared for her, but...

Could he stop being so gentle with her?

Nie Shen was stunned for a moment, hearing the alienation behind Yun Ruochen's words of thanks.Regarding the girl's emotions, he seldom had the idea of ​​researching, and at this moment, he only thought that Yun Ruochen probably didn't like being nagged.

"Here's what I found."

Nie Shen didn't think deeply about the meaning behind Yun Ruochen's actions, so he handed an envelope to Yun Ruochen. "Time is tight, and I didn't find much. Besides, I asked Ye Cong to help with the investigation."

"Ye Cong?"

Yun Ruochen asked suspiciously: "Why did you entrust it to Ye Cong?"

"I'm going to the northern border again. I won't be able to make it back in the short term, but you don't have to worry... Shenyan will continue to contact you."

It turned out to be like this.Yun Ruochen put aside his small thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Since you are going to travel far away, please be careful... Please take the jade pendant I gave you with you."

"Jade pendant?"

Nie Shen said "Oh" and said, "I'm taking it with me."

The jade pendant that Yun Ruochen gave to Nie Shen is a magic weapon that she cultivated in the hot spring spiritual acupoint.Although Nie Shen is not a sorcerer and cannot use this jade pendant, he can also use it to protect peace and resist hostility.

"...Then Imperial Physician Zhu", after a moment of silence, Nie Shen said again: "From before entering the palace to after entering the palace, there are almost no traces to be found, and there are very few flaws. According to the clues you gave, I finally found something useful... ...But you should be more cautious if you are investigating this matter in the palace alone."

"Ah, this. It doesn't matter." Yun Ruochen said: "Many of my actions are in the eyes of the emperor. He... probably doesn't object to my investigating these things."

"emperor?"

"Yes. When I approached Guo Zheng for the first time, he refused to agree to anything, but the second time, he happily handed over everything belonging to Imperial Physician Zhu... If there is no emperor's order behind it, I won't believe it. .”

When Nie Shen heard Yun Ruochen say "Emperor" in a childish voice, there was no awe in his words, and he thought of her mother again for no reason.

Lianqing is also like this.When she went to Beijing as a show girl, she didn't bring too much emotion when she talked about the officials who were drafted or the affairs of the royal family.

As expected of a mother and daughter.

"It's difficult for me to guess what the emperor's thoughts are." Yun Ruochen felt a little helpless: "He is indeed too moody..."

"Now that he spoils me, I don't dare to talk nonsense. The favor of the Tian family, hehe..."

Yun Ruochen shook his head and laughed at himself.

How beautiful she is in the eyes of others, loved by thousands of people, not only the most beloved eldest daughter of the prince, but also a celebrity in front of the emperor and noble concubines.

But she didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.If possible, she also wants to hide her clumsiness more, and stop doing things that attract people's attention.But her desire to keep a low profile seems to have never really come true.

There are always things like this, pushing her to the front desk, forcing her to stand out.

If she really throws her hands away and doesn't care about everything, it's not impossible.Which noble lady didn't spend her whole life embroidering flowers and fluttering butterflies in her deep boudoir?

Obeying the orders of parents, marrying a well-matched husband, having a few children, and making some small troubles with concubines... The life of a rich girl is not much more exciting than that of a girl from a rich family, and she has more material enjoyment, right?

She could choose to be a stupid kid, but she couldn't just sit by and watch her father, brother, and family members be in danger and not do anything about it.

The father is cowardly by nature, the younger brother is still in his infancy, there are open swords and dark arrows everywhere from the palace to the court...

Since there must be someone to support this family, it might as well be herself.

"Don't work too hard."

Nie Shen's hand lightly patted her on the head, Yun Ruochen froze, not knowing what to say.

This paternal act of kindness, to him, may be an expression of compassion, right?

But for her, she just saw clearly the galaxy that separated them again...

In the early morning of the next day, Yun Ruochen, the owner of Huarong County, appeared in front of people again, and his spirit was much better than yesterday.

She followed Concubine Duan step by step, worshiped the God of Spring with the royal family, and watched Emperor Yuan Qi continue to preside over the best sacrificial activities before the Spring Hunt one by one.

Prince Yun Zhaochong, as the representative of the royal family, went down to the ground with a hoe to dig the soil twice with the officials of Honglu Temple, and it was regarded as plowing.Immediately afterwards, deafening firecrackers sounded in Huangzhuang.

The herds of cattle decorated with colored paper and oil paint were driven into the field, people put willow branches on their heads, and Jiao Fangsi played the tune of welcoming the spring in an orderly manner.

All of this is new and interesting to Yun Ruochen.But even in such a joyful and lively occasion, her heart always seemed to be pressed down, heavy.

The sun is very good, and the spring breeze with a little chill is also very good.Everyone looks like they're laughing.

Why, the black vortex she saw that day kept flashing before her eyes, making her unable to let go of it?
Yun Ruochen looked sideways at the emperor on the high platform in the distance.The sun was shining directly into her eyes, and she couldn't see the expression on the emperor's face, only the glint on his crown.

That flash of light had a somewhat icy taste to it.

　I originally wanted to double update, but since I came back I have been vomiting and diarrhea, all kinds of acclimatization... I really want to die... Let's see if I can add the update tomorrow... I look at my dears weakly...
