The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 53 New Year's Eve ([-])

Before dawn, the capital woke up.

Slaughtering animals, washing cups and dishes, buying vegetables, and distributing melons and fruits, the doors of every household are open, and people come in and out to set up incense tables for the three animals, and the ancestor worship activities on the morning of New Year's Eve begin.

The snow is still falling, and it seems to be heavier than in previous days.But everyone is cheerful, saying "auspicious snow heralds a good year"!It's the Chinese New Year, and it's auspicious to speak, even if the snow is really heavy.

Teams of servants are busy clearing the snow on the official road and imperial street, so as not to slip the nobles' cars.

In the distance, a group of gorgeous chariots and horses galloped from the west, and the horseshoes made of fine steel knocked on the bluestone road, making a neat rattling sound.Passers-by gave way one after another, and talked about the convoy curiously.Which family sent out the whole house early in the morning?

"Ah, that's the carriage of His Royal Highness Cheng's residence."

A few knowledgeable people recognized the logo on the carriage, and the people who were busy buying the last New Year's goods suddenly cheered up.

"His Royal Highness, Prince Cheng, are you going to the palace? Didn't you say that last time...hehe..." The meaningful laughter caused tacit smiles from the surroundings.

His Highness Prince Cheng attempted to murder his elder brother, His Royal Highness King Jing's family, with witchcraft. Although this explosive news is a bit outdated, the people in the capital are most interested in the gossip of the rich and powerful.Cheng Wang's family just showed up, and people couldn't help but dig up this "old news".

"It shouldn't be true, right? Otherwise, why would the emperor still allow His Royal Highness King Xuancheng to enter the palace to celebrate the New Year?"

"Yeah, I also heard that it seems that His Royal Highness Cheng's affairs are not cared about, it is the destiny to teach..."

"You guys are so easy to deceive!" Some of those pretending to be sophisticated said mysteriously: "There are no waves without wind. I didn't hear about Laba. The emperor only announced His Royal Highness Prince Jing to enter the palace, didn't he call His Royal Highness Prince Cheng?" ? Why do you say this is?"

"Is that so... Then why is His Royal Highness Prince Cheng called into the palace again?"

"Hmph, who doesn't have a reunion dinner for Chinese New Year. Huang Er Er, you and your brother just had two fights, so don't you go back to the old house to eat with the old man today?"

"That's true……"

"Oh, I didn't expect that His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is really... oh, what happened to the family today, really, hehe..."

Of course, the opinions of these ordinary people would not reach the ears of King Cheng who was sitting in the tall carriage.But has he heard less of similar rumors these days?

Cheng Wang was dressed up and down very neatly, sitting on the car seat with a straight face, his eyes were very dark.The hands covered under the sleeves were clenched into fists, and he was using this small movement to relieve the depression in his heart.

He told himself again and again that today he must endure and be steady! ——
In the other direction, the same gorgeous convoy was also heading towards the palace.

Yun Ruochen was still in the car with Concubine Huang, but the two did not talk much.Concubine Huang is a month old, but her body is not too bulky, and she is in good spirits.Compared with the weakness when she was pregnant at the beginning, her body is now in good condition.

Here, Yun Ruochen really contributed a lot.Without her setting up a safety formation in Concubine Huang's yard, defending Concubine Huang against bad luck, and often stewing some nourishing medicinal food for her body, how could Concubine Huang be so energetic.But Yun Ruochen can only hide his achievements and fame...

She didn't care whether Concubine Huang accepted her favor or not.As long as Concubine Huang can give birth to a healthy baby boy, Yun Ruochen's safety will be more guaranteed.

"Princess, we are almost at the gate of the palace."

Yinqiao looked out of the window with her head, and suddenly stopped her hand that was about to put down the curtain.

"what happened?"

Yun Ruochen read doubts from Yinqiao's face.

"Outside the palace gate, many carriages and horses are parked there..."

"Ok?"

When Yun Ruochen heard the words, she also raised the curtain on her side and looked out. Sure enough, there were many people gathered in the square outside the palace gate.

Judging from the cars and horses, they are all rich and noble families.

"Hehe, it's those...children of the clan who are being teased to make trouble again." Yun Ruochen sneered in his heart.

This group of silverfish, who only have their own interests in their eyes, is completely unaware of being exploited to such an extent.

Their greed will only kill them in the end... However, it's for the best.

If she could use this opportunity to suppress the arrogant clans, it would be much easier for her cowardly father to become emperor in the future.

"Go ahead and make trouble."

Yun Ruochen said silently in his heart, and put down the curtains.She raised her eyes to meet Concubine Huang's questioning gaze, and said with a smile: "It seems that people from various royal residences and marquis residences are waiting to see the emperor, Madam, is there such a rule in previous years?"

"Oh."

After hearing this, Concubine Huang did not answer Yun Ruochen's question, but only responded in vain.From her expression, Yun Ruochen could see that she also guessed what was going on.

They are not afraid of this car, but the father's car is driving ahead... Don't be stopped by those clans!

She just remembered this, and hurriedly raised the curtain again, and sure enough, she saw several people blocking Prince Jing's carriage.

Hey, if you want to make a fuss and ask the emperor for justice, go wherever you want, don't pull my Baozi daddy to stand out!
-
Prince Jing awkwardly talked to the clan brothers under the window through the car window.

They're all from the Yun family, they don't see each other when they look down.Although these brothers and uncles such as Hou and uncle don't care about me on weekdays, they often send things to my family in the past six months, and they also show support inside and outside the words.

At this moment, he suddenly asked him to show his attitude, and asked him to present his feelings to the emperor after entering the palace, and asked the emperor to retract the secret decree to reduce the clan's salary... He was very embarrassed!

He thought that he could escape this trouble because he wasn't in the capital that day when they went to surround the Ministry of Rites. Afterwards, people came to him and tried to excuse his illness, but they still blocked him here.

"Uh...hehe, Gu..."

Faced with the turbulent rhetoric of his cousins, Prince Jing could only smile stiffly, not knowing what to say.

Those people also knew that Prince Jing had always been cowardly and easy to talk.From the bottom of my heart, if such an emperor ascends the throne, it would be a good thing for their clan.So their feelings towards Prince Jing are quite cordial.

Who doesn't like pinching a soft persimmon?

It's a pity that King Jing, who is regarded as a soft persimmon, doesn't like being pinched...

"Wow—"

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Whose horses, whose horses run wild?"

Prince Jing was stunned for a moment, and happened to see those people under the car window also turning their heads to look at the place of commotion, and with a rare tact, he quickly gave a haha ​​to them, and ordered the groom to enter the palace quickly: "Don't delay!"

"Hey, Your Highness..."

When those people came back to their senses, they realized that Prince Jing's carriage had already rushed into the palace gate.The carriages of the same convoy followed closely behind, and only the rest of them were separated from the palace by the guards—even if there were no guards, they were not so bold as to run in without the emperor summoning them.

"It's strange, why did those horses suddenly get into trouble." Yinqiao and Xuejuan discussed in low voices, Huang Choufei breathed a sigh of relief, and patted her heart.

Yun Ruochen smiled and moved his hand away from the window, the copper coin hidden on his finger had disappeared.

The palace gate is deep, and the snow color is confused.

This night is destined to be very long.
