Chapter 14

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, every household in Cloud City is busy making dumplings, and a few children on the street are playing with firecrackers in their hands, and the atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.

The more it is at the end of the year, the more the patrol of the forbidden army cannot be relaxed, Chu Xiuhan has been in charge of the forbidden army for more than ten years, and he will not understand this truth.

"You guys, go over there."

"Deputy Commander Liu, you take someone to the West Gate to be on duty."

Chu Xiuhan was arranging today's patrol task when suddenly a voice from afar interrupted his words.

"Commander Chu."

"Oh, it turned out to be Gonggong Zheng," Chu Xiuhan took his hand and returned the half-salute after seeing the face of the person who came, "Is there anything wrong with Gonggong Zheng looking for me?" ”

"The emperor decreed that this year's rewards for the provinces should be escorted by the forbidden army."

"Isn't that the case in previous years? Why did Father-in-law Lao personally make a trip? ”

Gonggong Zheng replied with a smile: "It's roughly the same as before, but this year, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has made meritorious contributions, and His Majesty has specially rewarded him." And this year, His Majesty has also prepared a reward for His Highness the Fourteenth. ”

"Your Highness Fourteen?" Chu Xiuhan raised his eyebrows, the year-end reward is given by His Majesty to the princes who have been crowned kings and the important ministers of the clan, and the fourteen princes in previous years were not in the reward list, how can this year...

Chu Xiuhan had some conjectures in his heart, but as a courtier, he couldn't say much about this kind of thing, so he just nodded, "I know." ”

In the imperial study, Emperor Yun flipped a book in his hand at will, and suddenly it seemed that he hadn't changed his breath, coughed violently for a long time, and there was still a little blood in the saliva he spit out.

"Oh, Your Majesty!" At this time, Gonggong Zheng had just returned to the palace, and when he saw the emperor like this, he was immediately frightened, and hurriedly shouted: "Imperial Doctor, quickly pass on Imperial Doctor!" ”

After the imperial doctor ordered Han Tong to check the pulse of Emperor Yun, his face was a little unpleasant, but he still said, "Your Majesty should be a temporary illness, and you still need to recuperate and rest more..."

Emperor Yun waved his hand, interrupting his words, and looked directly at Han Tong with his eyes, "Don't listen to these false things, you tell me honestly, how much time do I have left?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Han Tong's whole person trembled in fright. Looking at the emperor like this, if you don't know the truth, I'm afraid you won't give up, but as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, how can you be blunt about the incurable disease of the Son of Heaven?

For a while, Han Tong was in a dilemma.

After a slight silence, Han Tong gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will do his best!" Now the minister is looking for a new way, and he has a little eyebrows. If things go well, it will work out within two years! And according to His Majesty's condition, it will last for two years... It's still possible! ”

"Two years..."Emperor Yun repeated silently, but there was not much disappointment on his face, "Okay, you go down first." ”

"The minister retired."

"Your Majesty is relieved, didn't Imperial Doctor Han say it, he has found a new way..."

"How could I not hear the reluctance in his words?" Emperor Yun shook his head and held his forehead with one hand, "Maybe Han Tong really found a cure, but I'm afraid I won't be able to wait that long..."

Unpleasant things are always short-lived, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Emperor Yun attended in full costume to celebrate the New Year with the princes and important ministers of the clan, and the banquet was full of laughter and laughter, and the whole hall was happy.

To say that this Chinese New Year's Eve is the happiest than the empress.

Looking at these artifacts given by the emperor, the smile on the queen's face was difficult to hide. It's not that she covets this money, but the queen knows that His Majesty's addition of the fourteenth prince to the list of rewards this year is enough to show that he attaches great importance to him, and Yun Shuo is nine years old, less than a year away from the official canonization of the East Palace.

"It seems that in Your Majesty's heart, Shuo'er is really the most important."

"Queen Mother," Yun Shuo walked up to these jades, picked a rather beautiful one, looked at the queen and said, "Can this be given to the son?" ”

"Of course, don't talk about this one, everything here is yours, and it was given to you by your father."

"Thank you father, thank you mother."

Although Yun Shuo didn't understand the deep meaning of this, for him, it was enough to be happy to be able to get the jade he liked.

Since Lan Qianzhu passed the door, he has been living in Yun Lan's original dormitory, and Yun Lan moved to the east courtyard on the grounds that he was unwell and needed to recuperate. Although the two are nominally husband and wife, they rarely see each other in private.

Today is the first day of the new year, according to etiquette, Yun Lan brought Lan Qianzhu into the palace to greet his father and queen mother, and after coming back, he closed the door and thanked the guests, and threw aside the piled up of worship posts.

"Your Highness..."

In the study, Steward Liu walked in with a greeting post in his hand, and before he could speak, he was interrupted by Yun Lan, "Didn't this king tell you that you will be closed today, and you don't need to present any greeting post?" ”

"You said it, but I think it's better for His Highness to see him."

"Oh?" Yun Lan put down the pen in his hand that was copying the text, took the post and looked at it, and hurriedly said, "Let him come in." ”

In the royal school field, a eunuch was standing tremblingly in front of the target, only to see his eyes closed, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, and a big red apple on the top of his head.

"Don't move, stand still!"

Yun Ruohua stood about thirty meters away from him, holding a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand, ready to shoot at any time.

"Princess... Princess, spare your life..."

The prisoner was so frightened that he kept shouting for mercy.

However, Yun Ruohua turned a deaf ear to these, she aimed at the bull's-eye and did not hesitate to let go of the arrow.

I saw a snow-white silver light flashing out, and the sound of the arrow going deep into the target mercilessly went straight into the ears of the inner prisoner.

The prisoner sat down in fright, his lower body soaked, and the apple on his head rolled aside.

"That's a good archery." Suddenly, there were a few applause from behind Yun Ruohua, and when she looked back, she saw a handsome young man in gorgeous clothes walking slowly.

"Although the status of a eunuch is low, after all, it is also a human life. Trying arrows with living people, doesn't the imperial sister feel a little too cruel? ”

Yun Ruohua's original good mood was completely ruined by this man, she frowned, pointed at the target, and snorted lightly: "Brother Huang, open your eyes and take a good look, what I shot is obviously the target next to him." Who knew he was so timid! ”

King Huai'an fixed his eyes and saw that the arrow cluster was indeed fixed on the side of the target of the Fangcai Inner Prison Station, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he couldn't help but smile, "In this way, I'm nosy." ”

"The imperial sister's archery skills are really getting more and more exquisite."

"Of course!" Speaking of archery, Yun Ruohua proudly straightened his chest, "The Fifth Emperor Brother has taught me archery since I was a child, and I have been a true heir to the famous teacher." ”

"Speaking of the fifth brother, it seems that I heard that he has been in poor health recently?" King Huai'an was puzzled, "Today I handed over the worship post to the house, but I was blocked back, saying that I was recuperating and not seeing guests, why did I even turn away my own brother?" ”

"Who knows, it's not just you, I didn't see him when I went, and eighty percent of him knew that I went and had nothing serious, and it annoyed him."

Yun Ruohua didn't care, shook his head, and continued to draw an arrow to practice.
