The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 169 Outing in Spring ([-])

In his private heart, the emperor wanted Gu Che to marry Yun Ruochen.

Although in the public's aesthetic thinking at this time, a "rude and uneducated" warrior like Gu Che, even if he is the grandson of the chief minister of the cabinet, still can't stand on the stage, and he can't compare with a great talent like Chu Qingbo.

But in the eyes of the emperor, the view is completely different.

Literati or something, I hate it the most!
Among the literati, the most annoying thing is the civil servant!

This is the truest thought in the emperor's heart.There is no way, the old man has had no opportunities to study since he was a child, and he will not be able to read after he is enlightened.

None of this is important. The important thing is that the civil servant group is now firmly in control of the government, and the emperor is simply regarded as air.

Military officers are different!
The most trusted official of Emperor Yongjia now is no longer his teacher Gu Gelao, but Guo Zheng, the commander of the imperial guards who rescued him from the rebellion in the capital after a narrow escape.

Gu Che is now also a member of the imperial guards, directly under Guo Zheng's subordinates, and is on duty in the Hall of Harmony.There are quite a few opportunities to see the emperor.

Of course, he used to see the emperor often, but at that time Emperor Yongjia was still a prince.

Emperor Yongjia felt that Gu Che grew up watching him, so he naturally had a sense of intimacy.

He himself was weak, and he deeply believed that his daughter was born weak, so he was even more pleasing to the eyes of Gu Che, who looked very strong.

What's so good about weak scholars?A strong man like Gu Che is a good match for Chen'er!

Besides, the two have been together since childhood, so they are childhood sweethearts, right?
This kid, Chen'er, looks kind, but he is actually quite high-spirited.But her attitude towards Gu Che was very affectionate. Besides, the two children had been wandering outside for more than a year, and even if they had no feelings, they showed feelings.

Emperor Yongjia had a good idea, and couldn't help but reveal a little bit to Gu Gelao, but Gu Gelao blocked him back in all directions without any dead ends.Although Gu Ge always said bad things about Gu Che, the Gu family expressed their reluctance to marry the princess very clearly.

After the initial excitement was thrown cold water, although the emperor was very unhappy, he had to admit that any son of a promising family would not be willing to be a son-in-law.

A son-in-law cannot be an official, this is the ancestral system.Even if the emperor loves Yun Ruochen again, he can't change this iron-clad rule.

After repeatedly testing the Gu family and getting no response, the emperor could only turn his attention to others.

He knew that my good daughter and Zhao Xuan had a pretty good friendship.But even a simple-minded person like Emperor Yongjia didn't include Zhao Xuan as a candidate for the son-in-law.Let a prince marry a princess?Daqing is not the Han and Tang Dynasties!
A few days ago, when he occasionally went to Tsinghua Palace to pay his respects to Concubine Duan, the emperor couldn't help but chatted with Concubine Duan about his daughter's lifelong affairs.

Concubine Duan couldn't say anything, but she also understood that the emperor felt sorry for his daughter, but he couldn't find anyone to discuss it with, so he had to find her, an old woman, to talk about family matters.

After thinking for a long time, Concubine Duan hesitated and said, why not let the emperor pay attention to those poor family candidates who failed the ranking after Chunwei?
Concubine Duan was familiar with Yun Ruochen, and thought that it would be aggrieved for a smart girl like Yun Ruochen to marry a mediocre man like her aunts' husbands.

Those who fail the ranking are very good!Scholars, those who can pass the exam will not be stupid.But if the family has no spare money, they can't afford them to take the exam again and again.

The spring is held once every three years, and it takes not only time, but also a huge amount of money.What's more, there are only a few hundred candidates who can pass the Jinshi examination each time, and the real army is crowded on the single-plank bridge.Getting in the ranking is a miracle, and it's normal to fail the exam.

When encountering such a major setback and being disheartened, many people will naturally have the idea of ​​giving up the exam.

If there is a chance to marry the Royal Princess at this time, although it is impossible to become an official in the future, it may not be bad for those students from poor families.

In all fairness, what Concubine Duan said makes sense.But the emperor is still not very happy, hum, let his daughter marry a poor man who can only study?How can they be worthy of my Chen'er!
Besides, Chen'er is only thirteen, the youngest of these candidates is over 20, right?Those who won the election like Chu Qingbo are always very few.

Concubine Duan was helpless, and gave the emperor another idea: "Why don't you choose a few of the outstanding sons of the capital's aristocratic families?"

"Chen'er is an imposing princess, how can she be worthy of a bastard!"

The emperor was still dissatisfied, and Concubine Duan was speechless——Your Majesty, don't embarrass the old lady!
Chen'er is very good, how can we elders not know?But no matter how good she is, she is also the princess of Daqing, and she cannot escape the limitations of every princess when choosing a husband.

This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either.When the emperor was busy with government affairs, he often had a headache when he thought about choosing a son-in-law for his daughter.

Later, he simply thought—how about asking Chen'er what kind of man he likes?
As long as his daughter wants to marry, he will try his best to match her up successfully.I am the emperor, can't I even give my beloved daughter a lifetime of happiness?

"Father, Chen'er has no favorite man, and Chen'er will not marry."

Yun Ruochen left his father's embrace, straightened his waist and sat up, looked directly into the emperor's eyes and said.

"Children's words."

The emperor laughed, but this smile caused two coughs.

Yun Ruochen hurriedly patted his back for him, tossing for a while. "Father, you are not feeling well, so don't talk about it. Anyway, Chen'er will not marry, and will always be with Father in the palace."

"Hey... Why doesn't Father want to do this?"

The emperor patted the back of his daughter's hand lovingly, and sighed: "But in my daughter's family, how can anyone die in her natal family? Who doesn't want to marry? What if... the emperor can no longer accompany you, what will you do?"

Regarding his own body, the emperor felt very pessimistic, and he did not have the exaggerated confidence of the deceased emperor that "I will definitely be the emperor for 500 years".

Although he is taking supplements every day, he rarely feels particularly comfortable.Sometimes looking at his prematurely aging face, the emperor would sigh "there is not much time".

I am only in my 30s, why do I feel like I am in my 50s?
"Father, stop talking nonsense, you are sick and in a bad mood, so you think about what you have and what you don't have!" Yun Ruochen frowned.Her father's words somehow made her feel very uneasy.

It's a shame that although she has regained her vitality and cultivation, she is unable to deduce the life and death of her relatives because of the way of heaven.All she could do was to pour some real energy into the emperor from time to time, and make him feel comfortable for a while.

The emperor sighed again and said nothing more.

When Yun Ruochen was about to leave, the emperor asked her what was the matter with her earlier visit, and she remembered that she had come here to invite Shi Gong to participate in the literary meeting.

"Go, go and have fun. I heard that Chu Qingbo is very famous. Even I have heard his poems more than once."

Of course the emperor had an impression of Chu Qingbo. It turned out that Yun Ruochen had asked Chu Qingbo to promote his father's "benevolent" reputation at the past literary conferences.

Hearing that it was a literary meeting called by Chu Qingbo, Emperor Yongjia immediately approved it.

He thought, although these young people wanted to curry favor with Chen'er...but who might Chen'er have a crush on in the literary club?At that time, he will make another decree for that person to marry Chen'er.

Let me know if anyone objects!

Yun Ruochen didn't expect that the emperor really wanted to marry her off, and thought that the conversation that day was just a whim of the emperor's father.

Yun Ruochen was becoming more and more unwilling to think deeply about his marital issues.

Now she is living a good life, not much freedom, but most of her life is still in her own hands.

Leaving the palace, getting married...

Will these unknown changes disrupt her current "peaceful" life?

She could not imagine marrying any man, leading a normal "family life", let alone having children.

Although he has lived two lifetimes, Yun Ruochen still cannot have the heart of an ordinary girl.

She knows how to love, but she doesn't have any longing for marriage.

Maybe……

She should give Shen Yan a good household registration and make him a "good citizen".Anyway, as long as the son-in-law is a "good family son", it's fine, isn't it?
In the previous generation, there was a princess who married a small vendor who sold ducks!

Yun Ruochen didn't discuss this idea with anyone, but just calculated it silently in his heart.

The winter snow melted quickly, and before I knew it, the spring tree sprouted buds, and the day of the Wenhui came.

Yun Ruochen was light and simple, dressed like ordinary ladies in the capital, and only brought Ji Jianing and Xia Hong to serve him.

Besides the coachman, Gu Che was the only one of her guards - it was the emperor's direct order to Gu Che.As the Imperial Guard, isn't it normal to be on duty to guard the princess out of the palace?

Gu Che was very happy to go out with Yun Ruochen to play in the palace, but today he was going to participate in a literary meeting, but he couldn't enjoy it.

Wenhui, what a boring thing!

"Okay, Ah Che, why are you putting on a bitter face, as if someone owes you hundreds of taels of silver."

Yun Ruochen was angry and funny.Speaking of which, Gu Che is also an adult, and he is still the same as when he was a child, with good and bad emotions on his face.

This is not the case.

Gu Che had long since corrected his straight-forward habit, learned to be tactful, and was very popular among the imperial guards.But in front of Yun Ruochen, he was still willing to reveal his truest side.

"You said these people can't hold a literary meeting in the city, they have to go out of the city! Even if they go out of the city, they have to board a boat! Free time!"

Gu Che complained in a low voice, which made Yun Ruochen chuckle again.

"Isn't it great! You are on duty in the palace every day, so it's rare to come out to play. Let's go to the cultural meeting for a while, and we can play by ourselves, okay?"

"Humph."

Gu Che didn't answer.

Chu Qingbo worked so hard to invite the princess, the big Buddha, by entrusting it to Mr. Chang. How could he let the princess out of his sight so easily?Definitely have to work hard to please her!
I guess those sour literati will write a lot of poems for Ruochen, right?Yesterday I heard that they reserved all the best singers and musicians in Yingchun Building, hehehe, there must be many interesting programs to attract Ruochen's attention.

The carriage raised a burst of light smoke on the spacious royal road, passed through the city gate and drove all the way to the outskirts of the city.
