The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 113 Spring Festival ([-])

After tossing like this, most of the day passed.

It was not until the afternoon that the brigade left Huangzhuang again and moved closer to the mountains.Tonight, they will camp at the foot of the mountain so that they can start spring hunting tomorrow morning.

Concubine Duan Gui consciously arranged Yun Ruochen in her tent.Yun Ruochen naturally had no objection.Their tents were the closest to the emperor's main tent, forming an angle with the prince's tent and next to the emperor's tent.

Even in the wild, their respective positions can't be wrong, which represents everyone's status in the royal family.

However, compared to the various red tapes of life in the palace, field trips can only be relatively simple.

"Princess, Eunuch Zhang is here."

Qiu Rong opened the tent door, the chubby Zhang Yuan bent over with a smile on his face, and told Yun Ruochen that the emperor asked the princess to have dinner with him.

Concubine Duan looked at Yun Ruochen with a smile, and said, "Since the emperor told you to go there, you can go, don't waste your time."

Xia Hong and Qiu Rong hurriedly covered Yun Ruochen with a cloak, and put a hand stove on her.Although the spring breeze is warm during the day, at night, the wind in the mountains can be bone-chillingly cold.The cold spring can sometimes make people sick from the cold!
Fortunately, the distance from this tent to the imperial tent is only a few dozen steps.Yun Ruochen arrived in Emperor Yuanqi's tent, only to find that her dear Baozi father was also sitting there, dumbfoundedly sitting under the emperor's head.

The old emperor's expression was as serious as ever, and he could completely scrape off three catties of hoarfrost.This pair of father and son... are obviously close relatives, why do they always get along with each other?
Yun Ruochen didn't bother to sigh, and hurriedly saluted Emperor Yuan Qi with a sweet smile: "Grandfather, do you have delicious food? Chen'er is waiting for your good food!"

"Go, go, what nonsense." Emperor Yuan Qi stared angrily: "What a princess, what are you talking about!"

Although his tone was not kind, the lines on his face softened unconsciously.

When Prince Yun Zhaochong saw his daughter coming over, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.Alas, he really doesn't know how to please his own father!
Anyway, no matter how father looked at him, he was not pleasing to the eye. He was scolded ten times for saying one sentence, and he was scolded for being an idiot if he didn't speak.That is to say, Yun Zhaochong was used to the cold eyes of the emperor's own father since he was a child, and his psychological quality is not bad, so he is not too glass-hearted.Otherwise, he would have untied his belt and hanged himself in the woods outside...

"Hee hee, Grandpa Huang, Chen'er heard that we can eat a lot of game when we come out, as well as roasted whole lamb and roasted rabbits, right?"

Yun Ruochen would not be defeated by the old emperor's cold face, he still cheerfully ran to sit next to Emperor Yuan Qi, and filled the teacup in front of him with hot tea.This series of movements was natural and smooth, but the subtle sense of intimacy made Zhang Yuan, the eunuch who was waiting on the sidelines, sigh greatly.

That's how the little princess can get so close to the emperor.

Emperor Yuan Qi took a sip of the tea and said, "I haven't hunted today, so where are the goats and rabbits?"

"Is that so..."

Yun Ruochen pursed his lips in disappointment.

"...But you should be able to hunt a lot of things tomorrow."

Seeing the disappointment of his granddaughter, Emperor Yuan Qi unexpectedly comforted her rarely. "At this time tomorrow night, the children participating in the spring hunting will report the number of prey. The imperial dining room will also select some good roasts and send them...Are you afraid that you won't have anything to eat? Hmph!"

"Hehehe, Chen'er is just greedy, Grandpa Huang, you know best, don't you?"

In the tent, the masters were all sitting on the ground, Yun Ruochen was sitting next to Emperor Yuan Qi, simply shaking his arm coquettishly.

"Don't make trouble, eat well."

Emperor Yuan Qi patted her on the head.At this time, the maids had already served all the meals for the masters, and the eunuchs who tried the dishes had eaten every dish in front of the emperor, so Emperor Yuan Qi urged her to eat quickly.

Ever since Yun Ruochen came to live in the palace, he ate with Emperor Yuan Qi almost two out of three days.

Over the years, Emperor Yuan Qi was used to eating alone, and never thought that he needed anyone to accompany him to eat.But as the days passed, he actually got used to being with Yun Ruochen, and would call Yun Ruochen to accompany him for meals when he had nothing to do.

He has "cultivated the Tao" for many years, coupled with his old age, his appetite has long since lost his appetite.But watching Yun Ruochen eat deliciously, he seemed to be able to feel her happy mood of enjoying the delicious food, and unknowingly, he also appetized a lot.

Of course, Emperor Yuan Qi would never express these feelings.But among the people around him, who doesn't know that when the little princess is around, the emperor smiles the most, speaks the softest, and even eats half a bowl more than usual?

"You can eat too."

Turning his head, Emperor Yuan Qi said something to the prince lightly.

The prince hurriedly turned his body sideways, bowed respectfully, and kowtowed to the emperor for his kindness.

In terms of etiquette, the prince's behavior is in line with etiquette, and there is nothing to criticize.But compared to the intimacy between the old emperor and Yun Ruochen, it is too far behind...

Fortunately, the crown prince had long since stopped expecting any warmth from his father. As long as the emperor scolded him less with a black face, he would be grateful to Dade. How could he be jealous that his own daughter received more favor than himself?If he had that kind of thought, wouldn't he be out of his mind?

On the surface, Yun Ruochen was joking and joking with the emperor and his father innocently, but in fact he was calmly thinking about the connotation behind the event that Emperor Yuan Qi arranged for this "three generations of grandparents to have a happy meal together" tonight.

The emperor is looking for an opportunity to try to weaken the bad influence of the incest scandal, and he is telling the world that the crown prince's position is still stable, so don't think about it.

To be honest, Yun Ruochen has not been able to fully investigate the matter of Concubine Chen so far.Whether the child in Concubine Chen's belly was pregnant for three months or two months, and whether it was really the heir of the emperor, as well as the extremely suspicious Imperial Physician Zhu, and the incest accusation made by Imperial Physician Zhu against the Crown Prince and Concubine Chen...

These things are like beads scattered in a dish, and she has not yet found the silk thread that can connect them together.The information sent by Nie Shen may be able to provide her with great help, but it is still not enough.

On the emperor's side, the truth may not be as much as what he found out.However, Emperor Yuan Qi's current thinking was obviously not to investigate the matter thoroughly, but to eliminate the scandal as soon as possible.Presumably, with the emperor's IQ, he had already understood that Zhu's accusation was unreliable.

If the crown prince could easily get rid of the followers and move freely in the palace, and let Concubine Chen conceive a child...he would have already had a full family of children, okay?Why was he almost succeeded by King Cheng because he had no son?

Yun Ruochen never thought that one day his father's disgraceful "quasi-infertility" disease would bring him any benefit, it's really unpredictable.

"I'm only busy saving it now, why did I go earlier?"

She complained about the emperor disrespectfully in her heart.

If the emperor hadn't impulsively injured the prince with the inkstone that day, and made the injured prince kneel in front of the meditation hall for punishment, would the matter have become so big?Now it’s time to make amends, although I can’t say it’s useless, but it’s really...

No wonder people say that people are old and confused, the old emperor is a typical example!
However, Yun Ruochen still faintly felt something was wrong.It stands to reason that although the emperor has a bad temper, he wouldn't be impulsive about it.It's a pity that she wasn't at the scene that day, otherwise... maybe she could detect some clues.

This matter must be promoted by someone...

In any case, Emperor Yuan Qi's deliberate arrangements for the night still played a certain role.

The next morning before dawn, when the prince in military uniform appeared at the forefront of the spring hunting team, the royal family and the officials all had warm smiles on their faces, "Good morning, prince, you are so handsome in this outfit". The weird look in his eyes disappeared.

This also proves the authority of Emperor Yuanqi from the side.Once he made up his mind to keep someone, no one else could shake him.

Yun Ruochen also changed into a tight-fitting and narrow-sleeved hunting suit, and wore small leather boots made of soft cowhide. His hair was all braided and coiled on top of his head. Compared with his usual delicate appearance, he was a bit more heroic.

Especially her clothes, which were sewn like men's hunting suits, looked like a little boy at first glance.When Emperor Yuan Qi saw it, he actually smiled in front of people and said, "Where did the tomboy come from?"

The children of the royal family who only had the chance to see the emperor Longyan once in a long time were shocked. When did the emperor become so kind?

It seems that the family of Princess Huarong is really amazing!
"Grandfather, does Chen'er look good in this dress?"

"It looks good." Emperor Yuan Qi teased her and said, "But I don't know if it's not useful? You can ride a horse?"

"Grandfather, look at what you said! Chen'er can ride a horse of course!"

Yun Ruochen didn't boast, her riding skills were much better than most of the royal family's children.

While speaking, the sky brightened.After a few rounds of drumming, the spring hunting team went into the mountain to hunt separately from the team in the order arranged the night before.

But there are also many children of the royal family, especially those rich girls who are similar to Yun Ruochen's age, are deliberately getting close to Yun Ruochen, and want to enter the mountain with her.

As long as one has eyes, no one can see the position of Princess Huarong in front of the emperor and the prince.Normally, the princess lives in the deep palace and doesn't like to attend the gatherings of noble ladies. Everyone has no chance to please her.

Now that the opportunity has come, don't you seize the opportunity to post it?It's not just these girls, in fact, their father, brother and elders have repeatedly told them at home that they must seize every opportunity to establish "friendship" with Princess Huarong.

Yun Ruochen dealt with these delicate ladies with a fake smile, feeling very impatient, and couldn't turn his back on them and shake them off.There's nothing I can do to maintain her ladylike image...

"ah--"

"My God, what is that!"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past, and a flying bird rushed down midair, screaming and hovering above the heads of the group of girls on horseback!

The big bird's wings flapped back and forth, almost slapping the faces of the girls. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they reined in their horses and ran away.

Several turned their heads and called Yun Ruochen to run too, and someone screamed "Come on!"
However, Yun Ruochen didn't run away, just smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"Xiao Jin, long time no see."

The golden flying eagle folded its wings and landed leisurely on Yun Ruochen's forearm.

"Ache, come out!"

　Overtime, various delays, a little later, sorry...
