The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 92 Appreciating the Snow
Since November, there have been several occasional snowfalls in Beijing.But it's just a little snow, at most it can spread a thin layer of hoarfrost on the ground.

When it was not dawn today, it was snowing heavily.Up to now, the snow on the ground is half a foot thick, and the catkins are still falling from the sky.

Sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the water, the sky, the distance, and the distance are all blurred by the snow, and everywhere you look is a vast expanse of whiteness.

This kind of scenery is undoubtedly beautiful, and the pavilion that was originally ventilated on all sides has closed three large windows, leaving only half of the windows facing the lake open.The palace maids heated the smokers warmly, which well resisted the cold outside, and would not dampen the nobles' interest in enjoying the snow.

"Chen'er has heard from the imperial concubine that this Xihua Palace Huxin Pavilion is the best place to enjoy the snow, but I have never had the chance to come and play. Fortunately, I have the gentlemen and Ah Che to accompany me today."

Yun Ruochen took the initiative to lift the small wine jug soaked in hot water to pour wine for the two gentlemen.The two hurriedly covered their cups with their hands, expressing that they did not dare to work for the little princess.

Yun Ruochen smiled and said: "The kings and teachers of heaven and earth should be respected by Chen'er. Anyway, if there is no servant, gentlemen, let the disciples pour a glass of wine for you, okay?"

Her voice was sweet and soft, and her expression was extremely sincere, it was difficult for the two of them to persevere.She poured wine for the gentlemen, then turned to Gu Che and said, "Ah Che, I won't greet you, you can eat whatever you like."

Then she found that Gu Che was already gnawing on a stewed chicken foot... She was so self-conscious!
"Huh?" Gu Che raised his head from the food, nodded, and said, "Little Princess, you and the gentlemen should learn to write poems. I'll just listen to your poems. These chicken feet are delicious... ..."

"You like it? Then I'll ask someone to pretend to bring you back later." Yun Ruochen pursed his lips and smiled, and the two gentlemen couldn't do anything about Gu Che, a rude boy, and shook their heads and laughed endlessly.With Gu Che present, the atmosphere in the pavilion was much more relaxed.

Yun Ruochen was not in a hurry to get down to business, and just chatted with the two of the allusions about ancient people appreciating snow and singing poems.This is Chang Shiyang and Tong Hao's forte. At this time, when they talk about those famous poems and good lines, they are all at their fingertips. Occasionally, they comment on a few lines, but they also have new ideas.

Originally, the two of them were Yun Ruochen's teachers, so when they talked about poems, they couldn't help but talk about mediocrity, teaching Yun Ruochen how to compose poems.Yun Ruochen listened attentively, but he was actually thinking about other things.

This trip back to the Prince's Mansion, the situation was somewhat different from what she had imagined.

After her father was established as the prince, she had envisioned a bright future.In the past, my father had no chance to observe politics, but now that the reserve position has been established, maybe watching politics and studying in the six yamen can help him grow up quickly?There will also be many people vying to assist him.

But when I saw her yesterday, her steamed bun father was still very stupid and naive, and he didn't make any progress at all... She thought with a headache, dear dad, you are not immature, you are just mature, right?
It is estimated that he will never become an emperor who is as proficient in the emperor's mind as her grandfather Yuan Qidi in his life!
And according to her insinuations on the two gentlemen when she was in class in the study, although Mr. Gu Ge was gaining popularity in the court, his temper was too upright, and he often quarreled with his colleagues on the spot because of different political opinions.Naturally, his ability is high, but this kind of temper, which is straight from the intestines, is definitely no match for others when playing tricks and tricks.

Don't think that the father will be able to sit firmly if he is established as the prince. She remembers that the prince of Emperor Kangxi has been established for 20 years, and he can still be established and useless.Whether it is the Destiny Sect or the King Cheng, these potential threats have only disappeared temporarily. Who knows where they will hide in a corner and come out from time to time to make a fool of themselves.

Concubine Huang is mediocre, her younger brother is young, and her father has almost no trusted confidantes, no matter how Yun Ruochen thinks about it, she feels that the situation is very delicate.

Unless the emperor is dead now, there are still many variables in the future.All she has to do is to hold as much and more information as possible in her hands, and more importantly, people who do things for her.

Now outside the palace, she has Nie Shen and Ye Shenyan that they can help secretly.However, no matter how powerful the Jianghu people are, they are still small ways.She needs more and more subordinates, for example, young officials like Chang Shiyang and Tong Hao.

After this period of contact, she decided to pull the two into her camp.

They can be favored by the emperor and personally nominate them as her teachers, so their talents and abilities are naturally not a problem.Both of them were first-class scholars in the last subject. Chang Shiyang was from Shanxi, and Tong Hao was from the southeast.

The point is, she used her physiognomy to deduce the fates of the two of them, and the results were quite good——Yun Ruochen thought he was very accurate at seeing people, except for a prince with a deep city like King Shu, or someone with her As a close relative with a blood relationship, her judgment of character will not be too far from the truth in all likelihood.

But there is one exception, that is Zhao Xuan... Until now, she couldn't figure out why she couldn't deduce Zhao Xuan's fate, and she was stopped by the innate power after a little calculation.Why?

Forget it, let's think about the things in front of us first...

She collected her mind, and the discussion between Chang Shiyang and Tong Hao on poetry just came to an end.Yun Ruochen saw that the two of them had drunk more than half of their glasses, so he picked up the jug to refill their glasses, and said with a smile, "You gentlemen are really knowledgeable. It's really Chen'er's blessing to be the students of these two gentlemen."

"The princess has won the prize..."

"Gentlemen, don't be modest! Even the emperor admires your knowledge, otherwise, why would you invite the two of you to be teachers for Chen'er? It's just that Chen'er is dull and slow to learn... not only makes the gentlemen tired of teaching , and sometimes trouble the gentlemen..."

Speaking of this, Yun Ruochen put down the wine pot, and walked in front of the two of them with a happy body: "I was so tired yesterday that the gentlemen were anxious, it is Chen'er who is wrong, I have to apologize to the two gentlemen!"

"Hey, princess, we can't afford this gift."

Both of them got up in a hurry, and only dared to receive half a salute from her sideways.

Outside the pavilion, Xia Hong caught a glimpse of the princess suddenly getting up and bowing down to the gentlemen, but hurriedly turned her gaze back and pretended not to see it.Sure enough, the princess wants to discuss serious matters with the gentlemen today, not just enjoying the snow and reciting poems...

Yun Ruochen didn't care about the reaction of the two of them, and bowed respectfully and deeply, saying: "Gentlemen, please rest assured, Chen'er will not be willful again in the future."

Ok?
Gu Che, who was pretending to be eating happily, immediately cast a look of "You just pretend, anyway, I don't believe it" to the little princess when he heard the words, with his back to the gentlemen of course.

He didn't believe that the adventurous personality in the little princess's bones would change, as if he just pretended to be more "obedient".From what Gu Che heard, what the little princess said was actually saying "I will work harder to pretend to be a child in the future".

But Chang Shiyang and Tong Hao's understanding of Yun Ruochen was not as deep as that of Gu Che, so they were quite moved, and they put the dissatisfaction with this female disciple yesterday behind them.

"Princess, son of a daughter, I can't sit still." Chang Shiyang nodded and said: "You really shouldn't be like yesterday..."

Of the two, Chang Shiyang's temper was more preachy, and Yun Ruochen knew this early on.

"Okay, Chen'er is too self-willed and ignorant. It's all up to the gentlemen to teach and persuade me. I went back to the Prince's Mansion yesterday, and my father also warned me, asking me to study hard with the gentlemen."

Well?
The princess seems to have something to say...

Both Chang Shiyang and Tong Hao were very smart, and they immediately realized that Yun Ruochen was gradually getting down to business.

Be it the small talk or the apology above, they are all just paving the way for the upcoming drama!

What is she implying?

"Yesterday, when Chen'er returned to the mansion, he found that the father was tired and thin. Although the father will not say anything to me, I know that the father is taking turns observing the government in the six yamen. It must be very hard... Gentlemen always teach We are 'filial piety first', and I really want to be filial to my father and share his worries, alas!"

"It's a pity that Chen'er is just a child, and it's my daughter's family, so I can't help you with anything. But I thought, although I can't do much, I can find someone to help my father, and sometimes give him advice Well... two gentlemen, tell me, is Chen'er right to think so?"

The two of them suddenly understood, and they were a little excited.

The little princess means... she wants to recruit them for the prince?
Chang Shiyang is 27 years old.Tong Hao is half a year younger than him.In the eyes of others, they can be regarded as young and successful.Compared with those losers who have spent half their lives in the imperial examinations and failed to pass the hurdle of being a Jinshi, they were named on the gold list at a young age, a first-class Jinshi, and entered the Imperial Academy as Shujishi to observe politics... It is simply smooth sailing Life!
However, they also have their troubles.

The Hanlin Academy is very noble and very supportive, but not every Hanlin can soar to the sky.After many new Jinshi entered the Hanlin Academy, for one reason or another—no background, no opportunity, no chance to come... It took more than ten or twenty years to drink tea in the Imperial Academy.

Half your life goes by like this, and you retire with honor, or serve as a pawn for a certain bigwig in a certain political struggle, only to be cannon fodder.

Don't have too many people like this.

But they are still very young, and they are eager to be like those seniors who finally made it to the top, occupying a first-rank official position, ascending to the court and worshiping the prime minister, and stepping into the real circle of power in Daqing.

If they don't even have this ambition, how can they fight their way out at this age in the imperial examination field where they can eat people without spit out their bones?

In the first half of their lives, they relied on themselves, but now, they also hope to have noble people who can help them go straight to the top.

The prince... no, the little princess, will he be a noble person in their official career?

It was rare for Gu Che to say nothing, and he was still eating the snacks on the table bit by bit.

However, his heart is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface.

Gu Che also vaguely understood what Yun Ruochen was going to do.What he didn't understand was why she could think so far and do so many things?
And compared to her, who only knows how to practice martial arts, eat and drink, is too useless, right?
Gu Che never felt inferior because his status was lower than Yun Ruochen's, and he was very calm when going in and out of the palace, but at this moment, a faint feeling of inferiority arose in his heart.

He also wanted to be as powerful as her, to be able to have such an "adult dialogue" with gentlemen...
