The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 186 Zhao Xuan is getting engaged too

Autumn rain brings bursts of coolness. Before the literati have tasted the taste of this autumn, the footsteps of winter are coming one after another.

Time has always been like running water, gurgling away behind you inadvertently.

The atmosphere in the court in autumn and winter of this year was also very cold. Many bigwigs suddenly discovered that someone was poaching their corners, and gradually began to attack their interests.

The battle between the Beishang Group and the southeast wealthy clan involved too many things, many things that even Yun Ruochen couldn't figure out.

In these matters, Chu Qingbo is much better than her.

She wouldn't be so stupid as to involve herself all in.Don't look at the emperor's love and support behind her, but even her emperor's own father has to rely on her to help in the dark, and she really can't help her when encountering major problems.

What Yun Ruochen can rely on is the "shadow cabinet" with her husband Tong Hao, Chang Shiyang and others as the core.They have long been dissatisfied with those old people. They are important officials of the court in name, but in fact they use the court to seek benefits for their families, regardless of the life and death of the people.

Yun Ruochen hid behind the scenes, and the people watching her cooperated with Chu Qingbo to start digging holes at the bottom of each yamen, gradually letting those old men sink.

For example, the great flood of the Yellow River in autumn.

A flood affected millions of people, and the people of the Central Plains, who had just recovered from King Cheng's rebellion, began to fall into desperation again.

Chu Qingbo and other "new parties"—yes, these people who have formed an alliance with Yun Ruochen are not called the Princess Party, but the New Party. It can be seen that not many people in the court foresee Yun Ruochen's ability— He began to criticize all kinds of old diseases in the imperial court.

Who has embezzled the money and food allocated to build dams every year?During the disaster relief, many officials acted in a muddle-headed way, which caused civil uprisings. Whose responsibility is it?From which big warehouse did those moldy disaster relief food come from?Why are the officials in the provinces of the Central Plains in such a mess, who is their umbrella?
Some people jumped out to ask questions, some people pretended to respond calmly, there were tit-for-tat quarrels in the court, and the game of back and forth behind the scenes.

"A pot of porridge."

Yun Ruochen complained calmly, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

She practiced in the harem every day, taught her apprentices, played with fans, and took time to go to the clan's mansion to be supervised, so that she could go through the procedures of opening a mansion and getting married step by step, so don't be passive and sabotage.

The average marriage age of Princess Daqing is 15 years old, and she will be [-] next year.

In fact, Yun Ruochen is not in a hurry about getting married, she is just interested in her princess mansion.

That day Nie Shen asked her about the key to the box, and when she came back, she gathered her true energy again and used 32 kinds of spells to deduce the whereabouts of the key, but all of them were...unsolvable.

This piqued her interest in keys even more.Since mother left her last words, saying that the key is in Prince Jing's mansion, it shouldn't be a joke, right?

Maybe, when she moved into that mansion again, she would have a chance to find that mysterious key?
That's all there is to it, alas.

Ye Shenyan was not as relaxed as she was. He transformed from a "legendary tofu shop Shaodong" to a "quasi-consort". At first, he didn't feel any burden, but things gradually became more complicated.

Learn this today, learn that tomorrow, I really don't know what "royal etiquette" is necessary to be trained to be a son-in-law, is it necessary?

Well, it is said that this is because the son-in-laws in the past did not come from very good backgrounds. In order to allow them to better integrate into the aristocratic society, the Clan Mansion specially tailored this whole set of "son-in-law courses" for them.

According to Yun Ruochen's modern views, it's good to train first and then work!What a responsible approach, the clan's mansion is worthy of serving the royal family, and it is not generally concerned about such etiquette matters.

It's just suffering for poor Ye Shenyan... He sometimes sneaks into Yun Ruochen's bedroom in the middle of the night just to complain to Yun Ruochen.

"Princess, please do me a favor, let those people stop torturing me, I don't need to learn embroidery, I know everything else... Is there a mistake! What's wrong with my handwriting? Ah Che is still from a scholarly family As for my younger brother, his handwriting is uglier than mine, so he became a general, so I don’t want to practice big Chinese characters!”

"And walking, my God, the way I walk has to be corrected step by step, I can hardly walk anymore! I'd rather be whipped by Master Ye Cong to learn light skills..."

Ye Shenyan's bitterness was like a great river and the Yellow River, gushing endlessly, but it was a pity that Yun Ruochen laughed shamelessly.

"Hahaha... learning to walk..."

She imagined Ye Shenyan wearing a brocade robe, walking slowly step by step, and immediately lay down on the table and laughed muffled again.

Ye Shenyan is a monkey!It would be extremely frustrating for him to do this.

"Well, you've worked hard...poof."

"Princess, stop laughing..."

"I'm sorry, but it's really funny."

In this chaotic world, the court is full of conspiracies, the harem is serious and oppressive, the emperor is always sick, Nie Shen avoids seeing him, Gu Che flies away, and Zhao Xuan... She has begun to not understand Zhao Xuan's thoughts.

Only Ye Shenyan could make her laugh from the bottom of her heart.

Choosing him to be her "partner" was a result of a trade-off of helplessness in the past, but now it seems... This move is still the right one.

At least he can make her laugh.

Life is already so difficult, if you have someone who can make you laugh, you should cherish it.

So Yun Ruochen waved his hand generously, expressing that this is nothing serious!
Afterwards, Ye Shenyan became much more relaxed during the "training". Those adults were just going through the motions, and they would no longer have high standards and strict demands on him as before.

But they would occasionally wink and wink in the sidelines.

"The princess really cares about this son-in-law."

"That's right, Grandma Zeng of Chonghua Palace comes here every day to explain things, hehe... Isn't she here to look after the consort for the princess?"

"I heard that this son-in-law is the one the princess has taken a fancy to and begged the emperor to marry him."

"Lucky boy, he's just a tofu seller, hehehe..."

Bapo, no, Hachigongs, do you know how powerful Xiaoye's ears are?

The young master is a spy in his job, and he specializes in eavesdropping on intelligence in the gutter on the roof. I will talk nonsense about this kind of thing?

Don't think I can't hear you if you are ten steps away from me!

Ye Shenyan was speechless for these gossips.

When he fed Yun Ruochen what these people said again, Yun Ruochen looked at him with a half-smile, and after a while he said: "Speak carefully, you have to be mentally prepared."

"What?"

"In the future, you will hear more and more exaggerated rumors. For example, in order to please the princess, Prince Concubine Ye did not hesitate to buy magic medicine from secret doctors with a lot of money..."

"puff……"

Ye Shenyan, who was drinking tea, sprayed a mouthful of water on the wall, and then coughed violently.

He doesn't understand the princess more and more!
He is obviously noble and dignified in front of people, and his words and deeds are extremely elegant. Even when he is on the island, he is cheerful and decent when getting along with everyone.

Since their "engagement", the princess has become more casual when talking to him, and from time to time, such sentences that make it difficult to look directly will appear.

For example, what I said last time, "double cultivation" and so on...

Ye Shenyan didn't have the guts to open the so-called double cultivation cheat book a second time, and kept hiding it under his bed.

As a little beggar who grew up in the market place, although he was only seven years old when he came to Yun Ruochen's side, he basically understood everything he should know and not know.

In Tingyu Building, he was often sent out as a spy, and he did a lot of eavesdropping on people's roofs in the middle of the night. He had witnessed "certain things" many times.

But he seldom takes these things into his heart, and forgets them after completing the mission.However, recently, some scenes that he had seen before seemed to pop up in his mind inexplicably, and then his whole person was very strange.

Until one day, he woke up in the middle of the night and found that Xiaoyi's condition was, uh, not normal.But definitely not bedwetting...

The heavens can learn from it, he didn't dream of the princess on purpose that night, and he didn't mean to dream of the princess after dreaming... that or something!

Now that the princess is still joking with him about this kind of thing, Ye Shenyan felt his head would explode, as soon as he dropped the teacup, he disappeared from the roof of the palace without a trace, without even saying goodbye.

"Hey... just kidding, the kid's temper is getting bigger and bigger."

Yun Ruochen watched Ye Shenyan "run away" helplessly, and wondered if he was joking too much?

After all, he is still an innocent boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, so it's normal for him to have a thin skin.But sometimes she can't help but want to tease him, what should I do?Hahaha……

Thinking of his embarrassment that he was almost choked to death by the tea, Yun Ruochen couldn't help laughing again.

Halfway through the twelfth lunar month, Yun Ruochen suddenly received a very unexpected news.This news finally solved the doubts that had been lingering in her heart for several months.

Song Guogong, Zhao Xuan, is about to be engaged to a young lady from the Chu family in the southeast—and the woman is Chu Zhen's biological sister.

"Zhao Xuan... is also engaged?"

Yun Ruochen couldn't believe his ears.

Chu Qingbo nodded and said, "Yes, the horoscope has been combined."

"Really."

Yun Ruochen didn't know how to describe his mood.

That's right, Zhao Xuan is two years older than himself, almost sixteen.If it weren't for his father's death, he would have to observe mourning for three years, and he would have started discussing marriage a long time ago.

"Chu Zhen's sister, is she a beauty?"

Chu Qingbo looked at Yun Ruochen with strange eyes, and he realized that he really didn't understand women.

The thing that a woman cares most about another woman... is it always her looks?Even a woman as detached as Princess Huarong, is it inevitable?

What Chu Qingbo doesn't know is that women may not be interested in the looks of all women. What they care most about is always the looks of their rivals.

Although, nothing has ever happened between Yun Ruochen and Zhao Xuan...

However, both of them understand that their hearts have once caused waves for each other.

She chose Ye Shenyan, and Zhao Xuan chose the daughter of the Chu family.

very good……
