The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 75

Xihua Palace.

Two young eunuchs walked out of the winding path beside Yanyu Lake holding red lacquered food boxes.I ran into my companions head-on and asked with a smile where they were going.

"We went to Huxin Pavilion to deliver snacks to Princess Huarong."

The little eunuch holding the food box unconsciously puffed out his chest as he spoke, looking very proud.

The companions were immediately envious. "Really, you were transferred to Tsinghua Palace to serve Princess Huarong? What a blessing!"

"No, no, it's all on errand..."

The two young eunuchs said a few words of humility, but their expressions were still proud.

Now in the palace, it is a great honor to be able to work beside Princess Huarong!

It has just rained, and the misty rain in early autumn is gradually cooling the lake.The breeze blew across the lake, blowing the two curtains on the pavilion in the center of the lake, and messing up the hair of the girl in the pavilion.

"Princess, it's getting cold, why do you still like to sit in this lake and read? Wouldn't it be better if we go back to the palace to read."

While Nanny Zeng was nagging, she put a thin cloak on Yun Ruochen.

Yun Ruochen looked away from the lake, smiled and said, "Nurse, I'm so sick that I can't even blow the wind. The air here is good, and I can sit here and feel happy. Just leave me alone." .”

Seeing that the little eunuch who had been sent to the imperial dining room to pick up afternoon snacks had returned, she clapped her hands happily, and changed the subject, "Okay, let's see what snacks we are having today."

Nanny Zeng had no choice but to let her go helplessly and amusedly.

It has been nearly a month since Yun Ruochen entered the palace temporarily.

As soon as she entered the palace because of King Jing's appointment as the crown prince, Concubine Duan Gui once again mentioned to Concubine Huang that she wanted Yun Ruochen to come and live in the palace for a while, "accompany me, old lady".

Concubine Huang didn't dare to make up her mind for Yun Ruochen, she only said to see what the princess wanted.Yun Ruochen happily agreed, and even said that he wanted to go to the palace to play for a few more days.

At the beginning, she said to stay for a few days, but later Concubine Duan Gui didn't ask her to leave, so she continued to live in Tsinghua Palace.She didn't bring Yinqiao or Lianzhi, only Nanny Zeng, because Nanny Zeng used to be a female official in the palace.

Yun Ruochen didn't quite trust the emotional intelligence of her two naive girls.The palace is no better than the palace, if they do something wrong, she can't save them.

It is said that there are good rules in the palace, and her feelings were not so strong before.But when I really lived in the palace, I realized that the court etiquette is so cumbersome that it can kill people.

Although she is a guest, she still has to abide by the rules here, and she has to do better and better than others.Otherwise, it is inevitable that some bad words will come out.

Her words and actions speak for more than herself.

However, although she was a little uncomfortable at first, with Madam Zeng's thoughtful guidance, she gradually got used to life in the palace.

Since she can adapt to the change from one time and space, one identity to another, now it's just a change of residence... What's the problem?

"Today's dessert is sugar steamed crispy cheese."

She nodded in satisfaction, took a small silver spoon and put it into her mouth. The smooth and sweet taste made her feel even happier.

Hmmmm, this is it, the happiest thing about living in the palace is... you can eat more delicious food!

Yun Ruochen felt that "luxury and lust" could be used to describe his life of eating and drinking after entering the palace.

The diet in the palace is fresh every month and changes day by day.It is said that puffer fish is eaten in February, and cold cakes, glutinous rice cakes and roasted goose in March are eaten.There will be a banquet in the April Palace to taste peonies, roses and other flowers and fruits.In May, Duanyang drinks realgar and calamus wine and eats zongzi.In June, we have to eat silver sprouts on the surface of water, in July, we eat shad, and during the Ghost Festival, we have to enter the sweets room for Buddha's paramita.

At first Concubine Duan Gui didn't know that she was a snack food person, but when she found that she talked about food in a sensible way, she laughed at her: "It's a good thing that Chen'er likes to eat, and it's a blessing to be able to eat! Seeing that you are so skinny, you should eat more to nourish your body." .”

She smiled and picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Concubine Duan had made for her, and stuffed it into her stomach bit by bit.

One bite at a time, she tried her best to indulge her good feelings about the world in food, pretending that she was a child who loved to eat and sleep.

She is very happy when she eats good food.

No need to think about anything else.

Like feelings.

She hadn't seen Nie Shen for a long time.Since the night after Shu Wangmou turned his back and died, she called him in a dream and was caught by him, she never hung that special small sachet out of the window again.

He said, as long as you need, I will come.

Yes, she believed that he would definitely come and never miss the appointment.

But she dared not see him again.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, she put her feelings into the krathong and let it float away with the river.

I am not born, but I am old.

Hate not to be born at the same time, and be with you every day.

At the same time, she hated it... Why did her sorrow come to this?

The greatest sorrow is that he loves a person who is no longer in this world, and this person happens to be her mother.

So she was out of the competition from the start.If it was just a simple age gap, how could she give up before starting?

It doesn't matter, the love between men and women is just a fleeting moment.I just want to enjoy the food.Food can drown all sorrows.

"Princess, the emperor summoned you to the Jingxin Hall."

Another little eunuch came to report that Yun Ruochen had just finished his last mouthful of crispy cheese, so he nodded and put down the spoon.

Oh, is it playing chess again?
Your majesty is also true, even if you don't like to practice Taoism recently, there are so many important national affairs waiting for you to deal with, why do you always ask me to play chess with you?

Playing chess with the emperor is the worst fun, you can only lose but not win, and you have to lose just right.If you show weakness completely, so that His Majesty the Emperor can't experience the thrill of winning chess, that won't work either.And then, it's the same every time. I just lost, but it still doesn't work. I have to create a different result...

Yun Ruochen felt that playing chess with the old emperor was the most brain-consuming thing, not one of them.

When she came to the Jingxin Hall, she found that the old emperor who had never been very diligent was still reading the memorial.

"Grandpa Huang, it's almost time for dinner, what are you still busy with? Take a rest."

Yun Ruochen naturally sorted out the scattered memorials on the table for Emperor Yuan Qi, and she spent a lot of time in the Jingxin Hall these days.

"what?"

She accidentally saw a few words on the memorial and realized what the emperor was up to.It is indeed a big deal...

"Grandfather, is Qiu Wei over?"

"Ah."

Emperor Yuan Qi put down the memorial in his hand, and rubbed the center of his brows wearily.

"Can you understand?"

He glanced at her with raised eyebrows.Yun Ruochen said with a smile: "I just saw that it was written about Qiu Wei..."

The triennial exam is here again.

First, the following counties and prefectures will conduct autumn selection, and students who pass the provincial examination and obtain the status of juren can enter Beijing to participate in next year's spring examination.

Of course, those candidates who have not been admitted to Jinshi over the years will also flock to the capital to take the exam.It is conceivable that in two months, the population of the capital will increase by several thousand, and it must be very lively.

"How many words do you know now?"

Yun Ruochen didn't know why Emperor Yuan Qi cared about his own cultural issues, so he could only answer carefully, "I only read "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic" with Zeng Madam, but I haven't read "Nv Commandment" yet."

She doesn't want to read "The Commandments of Women" at all, what's so good about this kind of thing... It's better to read "Xiao Lin Guang Ji".Anyway, it can make you feel better!

"You're already nine years old, and you only learned so many words?"

The old emperor habitually scolded others with a stern face, Yun Ruochen slandered in his heart: You also know that I am only nine years old, do you want me to be full of knowledge?Don't think about when you raised your son, you didn't find a teacher for them until they were teenagers!

But on the face, he wanted to put on an expression of shame and indignation to match the emperor's reprimand, and lowered his head and said dully: "It's Chen'er who is stupid and slow to learn."

"Hmph." The old emperor seemed to be quite satisfied with her attitude, but he was still muttering: "You live in the palace now, you can't just eat and sleep every day, and I heard that you don't even take needles and threads." ?”

"Hehehe..." Yun Ruochen tried to fool around with a silly smile.

I said, old man, if you have something to say, just speak up, after a long time of being taught, what do you want?——Yun Ruochen was very depressed, and could only think about a delicious dinner silently to relieve himself.

The emperor asked himself to come here just to satisfy his desire to complain?
