The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 23 Zhao Xuan's Fate

Emperor Yuan Qi also felt strange.Although his children are not many in the royal family, including those princes and princesses who died young, he has raised a dozen of them.As for the grandchildren, Yun Ruochen was not the only one he had met, but Yun Ruochen was the only one who made him feel pleasing to the eye.

In fact, the reason for this situation is still in him.Emperor Yuan Qi, who had been determined to be the overlord since he was 17, was extremely headstrong and indifferent to his concubines and children.Under the pressure of his prestige, who is not walking on thin ice, for fear that if he is not careful, Longyan will be furious?
But Yun Ruochen was different.She was born in a strange family, and because people in the strange family can communicate with the heavens, they are naturally not afraid of the authority in the world, such as the imperial power.Just imagine that the truly profound warlocks in the Qimen can only call wind and rain lightly, how can they respect a mortal emperor?
She has no psychological burden and is proficient in human calculations. It is not too difficult to make up her mind to please the old emperor.

So she didn't like Yun Baoling's petty manner at all - she thought she was proud of being in the palace because she flattered Concubine Zhang Shu so hard?Although Concubine Zhang Shu is one of the four concubines, she has never been in power in the harem, and her status in front of the emperor is very limited.It would be strange to be able to speak to King Cheng when something really happened.

Yun Ruochen doesn't like to flatter others, but she has always been able to bend and stretch.Now that he has decided to put his stupid father on the throne and save his own life, he has to work hard to tackle the old emperor's problems.

In the face of survival, things like lofty self-esteem are never worth mentioning. The master taught her repeatedly when she was three years old.

"Okay, don't make a long face, I won't bully you for nothing. Zhang Yuan!"

A middle-aged eunuch with a fair face stepped forward, and Emperor Yuan Qi then said: "Didn't Neiku sort out some good chessboards a few days ago? Give one to Princess Huarong. There are also chess pieces."

"Yes, the slave will do it now."

This man called Zhang Yuan was not an ordinary servant, he was a serious eunuch in charge of the ceremony, and even the officials of the outer court respected him a little.To put it bluntly, Zhang Yuan's popularity index in the court is many times higher than that of Prince Jing. How many people rush to call him "Old Ancestor" who is in his early forties.

But at this moment, facing Yun Ruochen, he only had a flattering smile on his face.

Yun Ruochen yelled "Ah!", jumped off the stone bench, couldn't help but take Emperor Yuan Qi's hand and shook it: "Grandfather, you are so kind!"

Emperor Yuan Qi was stunned, and the people in the Huxin Pavilion... were all stunned.

This Princess Huarong is too courageous!Dare to pull the emperor?Didn't Prince Jing's mansion teach her the rules of entering the palace?

An anxious look flashed in Zhao Xuan's eyes, he was afraid that Yun Ruochen's abrupt action would offend the moody old emperor.

For some reason, he would be called into the palace by Emperor Yuanqi from time to time, and he had a deep feeling that Emperor Yuanqi attached great importance to maintaining his emperor's authority.Emperor Yuan Qi was kind to him, but... is Yun Ruochen going too far?

Unexpectedly, Emperor Yuan Qi coughed lightly after being stunned for a short time, and patted Yun Ruochen's hand on his forearm with his backhand.

"What are you shouting about, kid? Isn't it just a chessboard, it seems rare to you."

In the pretentiously flat voice, there was a dash of kindness revealed for the first time.

The emperor really likes Princess Huarong's tricks!
After a series of surprises, the servants finally understood this fact, and some even began to regret that they were too indifferent to Prince Jing before.

"Grandfather, this is a chessboard bestowed by you. Of course Ruochen is rare!" Yun Ruochen said happily, but suddenly lowered her head, and said with some embarrassment: "In the past, Ruochen always wanted to come to the palace to see you in his dreams." Grandpa Huang, but... and afraid that Grandpa Huang would not like Ruochen. I never thought that Grandpa Huang would love Ruochen so much, and Ruochen was so happy..."

She bit her lower lip lightly, her pink face looked really pitiful and cute, and Emperor Yuan Qi cleared his throat unnaturally.Seeing how excited this child is, alas, did I really neglect my children and grandchildren before?

Although he always thought that he deliberately alienated his sons in order to save their lives, "two dragons will not meet each other"!But has the distance gone too far?Well……

If it was Emperor Yuanqi a year ago, perhaps he would not have such a "weak" idea.However, with the rapid deterioration of his health in the past two years, especially the two short-term faintings in half a year, Emperor Yuan Qi, who had been strong for a lifetime, had to face up to the fact that he was in his dying years.

When a person's heart grows old, he will naturally yearn for family warmth, which is human nature.Emperor Yuan Qi had almost no experience in getting along with "family members", and the feeling Yun Ruochen brought to him actually made the elderly emperor feel a little...fresh.

"Your Majesty, the hour is approaching..."

Zhang Yuan leaned over and reminded softly.

Only then did Emperor Yuan Qi realize that the sun was gradually moving to the west, and it was almost time for the dinner.He nodded and got up, he was about to move, but suddenly he looked back at Yun Ruochen and Zhao Xuan.

"You two children, come with me."

"Yes!"

Yun Ruochen happily complied, and followed Emperor Yuan Qi half a step behind to the Hetai Hall where the banquet was held.Hetai Hall is next to Xihua Palace, so there is a reason for the officials of Honglu Temple to arrange the guests entering the palace in Xihua Palace. They can directly lead the guests to the banquet from the large corridor.

Along the way, the servants of the court ladies all bowed down from a long distance away, but the corners of their eyes all glanced at Yun Ruochen, everyone was guessing who the little girl was.

Yinqiao walked at the end of the line, but her mood was as excited as a tsunami.What an honor it is for the princess to be by the emperor's side?She had long forgotten the humiliation of being bullied by Princess Yanyang, and her footsteps seemed to be on clouds, almost thinking that she was dreaming.

Yun Ruochen was secretly looking at Zhao Xuan.

The dark red high wall was set against his snow-white shirt with large sleeves, which was extremely simple and sharply contrasted, and the side face of a young jade carving was serene and indifferent.She just remembered that she hadn't seen him smile in the whole afternoon.

What a pity, such a handsome boy.

At about the same age, Ye Shenyan was like a monkey compared to him, unable to sit still all day long.When teaching him how to learn physiognomy, Ye Shenyan kept asking questions, so annoying that she really wanted to whip him up from time to time with the pointer.Relatively speaking, Zhao Xuan was unbelievably quiet and composed.

What kind of environment is needed to raise such a precocious boy?
Yun Ruochen looked away, and his mind turned to Ye Shenyan.

Not long after she left the villa in the suburbs of Beijing, Nie Shen also took Ye Shenyan away.Others only knew that Steward Nie returned home due to illness, and it was normal for him to take away a couple of servants to serve on the road, but Yun Ruochen knew that Nie Shen must have returned to his own arena.

Will Nie Shen keep his promise and train Ye Shenyan to be the helper she needs?Because, she also has to face her world.

Yun Ruochen took a deep breath and straightened his back, followed Emperor Yuan Qi into the Hall of Harmony.

At the dinner that day, Yun Ruochen met her imperial uncle Cheng Wang Yunzhaohui for the first time, a short and fat man with a pale skin—the reason for his bad complexion was probably stimulated by Emperor Yuan Qi's unexpected "love" for her of?
King Cheng's body is round, and he looks like a blessing at first glance, but his facial features are all gathered together as if he hasn't grown up properly, Yun Ruochen shook his head secretly when he saw it.

The two brothers, King Jing and King Cheng, don't have the obvious appearance of the emperor, so it's really difficult to judge which of them can sit on the throne.But their father, Emperor Yuan Qi, really had the face of an emperor, with an unbelievably high forehead and a long and straight nose, even though he was old, he was still so imposing.

In fact, the so-called emperor's appearance is nothing more than a "strange" word.Yun Ruochen looked at Baozi's father and then at the fat emperor's uncle, and decisively decided to look at some beautiful things to wash his eyes, such as - Zhao Xuan.

Judging from the appearance alone, Zhao Xuan is more like the heir of the emperor than those two princes.but……

Huh?
Yun Ruochen had an inexplicable doubt in his heart.With her right hand in her sleeve, she secretly pinched the hand formula, trying to deduce Zhao Xuan's fate, but suddenly, as if being hit by a dark wave on the head, there were stars in her eyes, and she almost lost her footing!

Impossible, she can't figure out his fate?

This should never have happened!
Zhao Xuan is not her close relative, nor a warlock, why is she not only unable to deduce his fate, but also counterattacked by the power of heaven and earth?
There is only one possibility——Zhao Xuan's destiny is very special, but she has no vitality at the moment, her cultivation level has been reduced, and she cannot spy on the secrets of heaven.

Generally speaking, only big figures who can influence tens of millions of people will have such a fate...

Zhao Xuan is just a survivor of the former royal family, but he was born with such a strange fate. Is it good or bad for him?
Yun Ruochen faintly felt uneasy.Maybe she should stay away from him?
She didn't know that Zhao Xuan actually had the same idea as her.
