The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 168
The spring of the second year of Yongjia came very early, as if overnight, the capital began to become more lively.

Because, Chun Wei, which was delayed for two years due to the rebellion of King Cheng, finally came late.

Counting it, it has been five years since the last time Chun Wei came back.But after the rebellion, the chaotic parties were cleared up everywhere, and the lower-level officials were severely vacant.

So recently, the major inns and restaurants in the capital are full every day, not only full of candidates rushing to take the exam, but also often hold various literary meetings.

The "Tai Xue Society", "Seven Sons Society" and "Qinghua Society" that were once active in the past seem to have become more famous after two years of fermentation.

The leader of the Seven Sons Society, Wu Zusheng, who is known as "a plum in the south of the Yangtze River", is already a guest of many dignitaries in the capital.This time, he is still the favorite to win the title.

Chu Qingbo, the leader of the "Qionghua Society", also became a focus figure because of his contribution to the southeast aid army to quell the chaos and his close relationship with Song Guogong's Zhao family.

In particular, several outstanding children of the Chu family came to Beijing one after another, and after they emerged in several literary associations of the Qionghua Society, the Chu family was really in the limelight.

"Ask me to attend the literary meeting?"

Yun Ruochen looked at the invitation card in front of him very freshly, and took a sip of the tea cup with a smile.How interesting!

It was her teacher Chang Shiyang who brought the invitation to her.

Chang Shiyang and Tong Hao, the two Imperial Academy, after Yun Ruochen returned to Beijing, they really "ascended the chicken and dog" and were reused by the court. One entered the Ministry of Officials and the other entered the Ministry of Rites.

Yun Ruochen didn't have the slightest burden to listen to his father and promote his own teacher.

This princess just protects her shortcomings and loves to use her own people. You bite me?
As "Princess Party", the situation of Chang Shiyang and Tong Hao in the court is somewhat delicate.

In today's imperial court, more and more low-level officials are talking about Princess Huarong's "extraordinary".Openly running on the empress, dominating the harem, and raising her younger brother by her side... No matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a "safe" woman.But the emperor listened to her very much!

This sign is not good!Didn't there have been princesses who liked to exercise power in ancient times?Such a woman will definitely disrupt the government!

Many officials who silently call themselves the "Prince Party" are very hostile to Yun Ruochen, and from time to time they say that there is no reason for the princess to educate the prince, and the queen should be the one to educate the prince!

They were very worried that Prince Yao would become the princess' puppet if he was raised by the princess.

It's a pity that although the emperor is a soft persimmon, he is very tough when it comes to "family affairs", especially when it involves Yun Ruochen, he will ignore it with a black face.

In private, being pushed into a hurry by the big bosses of the cabinet, the emperor would coldly say: "The empress is in poor health and is recuperating. It is not appropriate to have children making noise in the palace."

This word blocked the mouths of many people.Because of the news from the palace, the queen is indeed "in poor health" and is taking tonics every day for recuperation.

It has been a year, and the emperor spent more than half of his days in the queen's bedroom, but she is not pregnant, isn't it "poor health".Because of this, the queen became ill even if she was not sick, and recuperated on the bed every day. Anyway, there was no queen mother in the palace who needed her to serve.

Of course, the other favored concubines showed no signs of pregnancy.

The medical officers of the Tai Hospital tried their best, but nothing came of it.The only achievement is probably to confirm the emperor's rumors that "kidney water is scarce and it is difficult to have children" time and time again.

Therefore, as the only son of Emperor Yongjia, Yun Yao's existence became more and more important.

If it was an insignificant prince, how could anyone care who he grew up with?At the beginning, Emperor Yongjia grew up in the harem until he was 15 years old and did not study, and no one asked him.

But outsiders only pay attention to the existence of Yun Yao, the "prince". Who loves him from the bottom of his heart?

Only Yun Ruochen truly loved his younger brother.

The emperor is not stupid, he values ​​his son more than anyone else.It is for this reason that he prefers his son to live by his Ruochen's side.

He believed that Ruochen would definitely take good care of Yun Yao.

The emperor's unconditional love for Princess Huarong caused dissatisfaction among many people, but some people thought it was a good thing, and it was a shortcut for them to advance.

Didn't look at Chang Shiyang and Tong Hao, are they just over 30 and squeezed into the Six Departments to become middle-level officials?
Because, it's not too strange for Yun Ruochen to receive an invitation from the Student Literature Association - there are many people who want to please Princess Huarong.

"Qinghua Society..." Yun Ruochen flipped through the post, looked up at Chang Shi and smiled: "Sir, since it is a literary meeting called by Chu Qingbo, why don't you invite me yourself, and ask you to come to me after many twists and turns up?"

Chang Shiyang spread his hands and sighed: "The Han family has some friendship with the Chu family, and this Chu Qingbo... can be regarded as a very good underachiever."

He didn't answer Yun Ruochen's question directly, thinking to himself, maybe Chu Qingbo thinks that he doesn't have enough face to invite the princess?

What Yun Ruochen thought was - Chu Qingbo is really a frank person, he was telling himself that he was trying to get close to the officials of the "Princess Party".

When I asked Zhao Xuan to deliver a letter to Chu Qingbo, asking him for help, Chu Qingbo at that time still had a bit of aloofness.Over the past two years, he has "matured" a lot.

Forget it, since the wealthy clan in the southeast want to get more in touch with him, there's nothing wrong with it.

It's good to go and have fun!
However, if she wanted to leave the palace, she had to get the consent of her elders - the elders here naturally did not refer to the empress Chen who was ignored by her, but her emperor's own father.

When Yun Ruochen brought the invitation to see his father, he found a group of imperial doctors surrounding the emperor.

"Father, are you unwell?"

Yun Ruochen saluted and walked to the emperor worriedly.When I paid my respects to my father yesterday, he looked pretty good...why did he suddenly get sick again.

The answer given by the medical officers was that he had a cold, which was a common ailment.But the ordinary wind and cold broke out on the emperor, and the situation was not very good.

Emperor Yongjia's whole body was listless, his face was sallow and sallow, his lips were colorless, and the fine lines at the corners of his mouth made him look old.

He's only in his 30s and less than [-]!

Yun Ruochen held his father's hand in distress.

This is obviously inappropriate, but the eunuchs and maids in the bedroom are used to seeing it, even if they are not used to seeing it, they will not have any abnormalities on their faces. Do you think it is too long?

The medical officers felt a little uncomfortable, and they secretly discussed in secret after leaving the palace, how could the royal father and daughter have such a good relationship?It can't be... is there something strange in it?

Princess Huarong, who will be 13 years old in a few months, is still a child in the eyes of her father, but she is already close to a "woman" in the eyes of outsiders.

After that day, there were more weird royal rumors outside the palace, implying that there was an extraordinary relationship between the emperor's father and daughter-this is a later story.

At that time, Yun Ruochen just wanted to channel some true energy into his father, and drive away the wind and cold in his body.

"Chen'er, it's so strange, once you come, I feel better."

The emperor raised his drowsy eyelids and smiled reluctantly at his daughter.

His daughter's hand was warm, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a lot lighter in his aching body.

Yun Ruochen let go of his hand calmly, his father's meridians were weak, and his true energy could not flow too much, he couldn't bear it.

She smiled and turned her head to take the hot soup from the eunuch, and personally brought it to her father's lips, and waited for him to drink it.

"It's so hard."

After the emperor finished drinking, he frowned and complained a little.Only in front of his daughter would he dare to show his normal appearance.

He used to be able to talk to his teacher Gu Ge, but now, alas.

"The good medicine tastes bitter. Father, why don't you pick a candied fruit for your mouth?"

Yun Ruochen got up, found a box of candied fruit on Duobaoge, and coquettishly handed it in front of the emperor. Barabala said: "Candied dates are delicious! They also nourish qi and nourish the heart... Hawthorn is sour, it's not good to eat at this time. Sweet The persimmons are dry and cold, um, should I choose Tangguatiao?"

"Greedy cat!"

The emperor was finally amused. He casually picked up a candied melon stick full of icing sugar and put it in his mouth, feeling sweet in his heart.

This snack box was put in his bedroom by the girl herself!How could he usually eat this kind of snack? She loves it, and if she says she likes it, she will give her father a copy... What a caring child!
Seeing his daughter's lovely smile and eating candied fruit, Emperor Yongjia's mood suddenly became depressed again, and he sighed lightly.

"Father?"

Yun Ruochen looked at the emperor puzzled.It was so hard to coax father to be happy, so what's wrong with him?Are you bothered about politics?
"My Chen'er is the most obedient."

Emperor Yongjia held his daughter's shoulders, and Yun Ruochen snuggled into his father's arms, with his ears pressed against his heart.

The emperor's heartbeat was a little too fast, probably due to the weakness of Qi and blood.

"Chen'er is so obedient, Father is not willing to marry you off."

It turns out that fathers who love their daughters all over the world will sigh, and they are reluctant to marry their darlings.

"Father! Where are you going?" Yun Ruochen said coquettishly, "What are you talking about?"

"Girls should marry!"

The emperor squeezed out another smile, and stroked his beloved daughter's black hair.

This is the pride of his life.

He was reluctant to marry off his daughter, but the 13-year-old girl had to find her husband's family.Even a princess has to marry someone.

It was very quiet in the bedroom, and the nearest eunuchs guarded the door and dared not come in.As early as when the emperor was hugging his daughter and whispering, the servants avoided it very clearly, they all knew that the emperor wanted to chat with the princess about some little secrets.Who dares to listen?

"Chen'er, tell me quietly, is there anyone you're interested in?"

Hearing this, Yun Ruochen was stunned.

If in the era of her previous life, it would be very common for a father to ask his daughter like this.

But in this feudal dynasty, I heard such words from the mouth of the emperor...

If he didn't love his daughter deeply, he wouldn't say such a thing!

Father, I really love her...

Leaning on the emperor's not-so-thick chest, Yun Ruochen quietly stretched out her arms, and gently hugged her most beloved relative.

　In the cold spring, everyone should take care of their health.
