[Qing Chuan] Mu Emperor's Grace

Chen Xincheng glanced at Hongli in embarrassment, seeing that although Hongli's face was stiff, he didn't object, so he could only respond with a smile: "Your Excellency is really ingenious, and I'm going to prepare skates for you."

He Shen bowed to Hongli and said, "My servant, make some preparations first."

Hongli still looked at him with a frown and didn't answer for a while.He Shen raised his head slightly and signaled Hongli to be safe with his eyes.

Seeing that he was confident, Hongli finally compromised.He just took off the cloak on his body, fastened it for He Shen himself, and looked at his thick and warm clothes before continuing: "Be careful, Ai Qing will recover soon, don't force it."

He Shen felt that Hongli clasped his wrist with a little force, and quickly comforted him in a soft voice: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."

In the Qing Dynasty, the so-called skates were nothing more than putting iron "skates" under the soles, which looked very simple and difficult to use.Rao Heshen joined the roller skating club when he was in college in modern times, and when he stepped on the simple version of "skates", he could barely walk.

At the beginning, He Shen just staggered and walked a couple of times. After getting used to it, he gradually bent his knees and slid his left and right legs alternately.

Little did he know that Chen Xincheng was stunned as he watched from the sidelines. He never imagined that He Shen, who was born as a scholar, would even be able to do this.

However, everyone in the pavilion was also looking forward to He Shen's appearance, Ji Xiaolan leisurely smoked snuff, while Yushi Qian Feng sitting beside him straightened his back.Here, Ji Xiaolan had a rare moment of leisure, but there was a piece of wood sitting beside him. He frowned dissatisfiedly and said, "Master Qian, why are you so nervous?"

Qian Feng said with a sad face: "Master Ji, this dignified court official, He Shen, actually did such an insulting thing in order to invite favors and merits, I am really heartbroken!"

Ji Xiaolan glanced at him, he knew that Qian Feng was old-fashioned and stubborn, and the position of censor was perfect for him.In his eyes, there are only two kinds of officials in the Qing Dynasty, the honest and corrupt officials, and they would rather kill by mistake than let them go.

Ji Xiaolan admired Qian Feng's uprightness and integrity, but felt helpless for his single-minded mind: "Master Qian, this Bingxi is just for fun, why are you so serious?"

Seeing Qian Feng's expression of disapproval, Ji Xiaolan continued: "Don't rush to refute me, take a step back, even if He Shen falls on all fours in front of everyone, he will lose his own face , Mr. Qian doesn't need to be so concerned."

Qian Feng was blocked by Ji Xiaolan's sharp mouth, so he could only snort sullenly, and turned his head away to ignore Ji Xiaolan.

Seeing his rude behavior, Ji Yun just smiled and didn't mind.

Just as he was thinking, He Shen had already slid from the side to the middle of the ice.Although his movements are a bit rusty, the steps under his feet are very steady.Shi Gege looked at it in the pavilion, and applauded excitedly: "Look, Huang Ama, He Shen is really good at skating, I didn't expect him to have this skill."

Hongli tried hard to force a smile, but the little bit of joy was completely covered up by shock.According to Hongli's understanding of Heshen in his previous life, such a difficult sport as Bingxi is definitely not within Heshen's ability.

He Shen seemed to have gradually regained his skating skills. He slowly straightened up, groping for a safe standing posture like a child.

The crowd who originally wanted to watch a good show, saw that he was getting more proficient in skating, and the faster he skating, they applauded one after another.

Standing by the side of the pavilion, Shi Ge'er felt that her whole heart was flying on the ice, she turned around and shouted, "Huang Ama, I want to try it too."

Before Hongli answered, Concubine Dun in the back row said anxiously: "Shigeer, what are you messing around with? The ice is covered and unstopped, how dangerous it is, what if you bump into it? manage?"

The tenth princess pursed her lips in grievance: "But... I really want to try."

Hearing the words, the queen mother glanced at Yongzhen who was silent behind her, and said with a smile: "All of our children in Manchuria have been tempered, and it is very rare to come to the east for a tour. Concubine Dun, don't stick to ten boxes." , let her go, Yongzheng and you too, remember to protect a little bit."

Yong Xing responded in a low voice, and stepped forward to hold Shi GeGe's hand: "Come on, let's change our shoes, and let He Shen teach us later."

Concubine Ling watched the two children go away happily, and hurriedly whispered to Yongyan who was beside her: "You go with me, remember to protect the ten grids."

However, Yong Yan shook his head: "I don't know how to play in the ice, and I don't want to go." The young man's answer was clearly heard by everyone in the pavilion, causing a crack in the decent smile on the imperial concubine's face, but she still forced a smile and said: "Yong Yan Yan is not in good health these days, maybe he is tired..."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager just asked indifferently: "Have you invited the imperial doctor to see it?"

Concubine Ling replied respectfully: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, people have already seen it."

The Queen Mother nodded, and let the mother and son go.

After a while, Ten Gege and Twelve Brothers both changed their skates.Yongzhen is okay, he can still stand firm, but Shi Gege can't even stand.There was no support around the ice surface, and the wobbly two people looked very embarrassed.

Although this experience was not as smooth as imagined, Shi Gege was very happy, and even fell on the ice and laughed two dimples.

Yong Xin is really talented, from being ignorant at the beginning, to gradually being able to stand firm, and then to move forward with strides.He Shen saw it and sincerely admired the child's understanding.

The ice players protected the two little masters from left to right, and made some moves from time to time.Everything was fine at first, but He Shen's feet suddenly seemed to be out of control, and he ran straight towards Yong Xing who was sliding hard.

Right here, Xiang Yongzheng was still focusing on his feet, when he suddenly saw something coming towards him with the wind and waves in his peripheral vision.

The hearts of all the people in the pavilion were raised in their throats, and the fists beside Hongli were clenched tightly.No one knew better than him that if He Shen really bumped into Yong Xing, no matter whether Yong Xing was injured or not, He Shen's punishment would be inevitable.

Chen Xincheng watched from the sidelines, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back in the cold weather.Originally, I wanted to rely on a game of ice play to get a compliment or two to turn over the account.Unexpectedly, an uninvited guest appeared on the way. If He Shen's collision is confirmed, what good can he, the leader, get?

Speaking of it, no one thought that He Shen, who skated so safely when he appeared on the stage, would suddenly lose control.The Queen Mother turned pale and said in a trembling voice: "Stop him, stop him quickly."

The ice-player came forward to intercept him as if he had just woken up from a dream. Seeing that He Shen was about to hit him, the Queen Mother closed her eyes in horror, silently chanting "Amitabha."

However, the collision that everyone expected did not happen. He Shen suddenly leaned back when he was about to bump into someone, and his whole body just leaned back abruptly.

The cloak the emperor tied for himself will get wet, this is the only thought in He Shen's mind when he fell down.

When all the dust settled, He Shen felt that half of his body was numb from the fall, but the Queen Mother and Concubine Ling were busy looking at the frightened Yong Xin.Hongli hurried forward, but after glancing at him, he also turned to Yongxin's side.

The queen mother took a closer look at Yongzheng's situation, seeing that he was just standing there in a daze, looking frightened, she immediately became angry.

"How do you all serve, let you protect Brother Twelve closely, is that how you protect?"

A circle of ice-players were silent, and the queen mother turned her eyes to He Shen who fell on the ground aside. Seeing that he had fallen hard, she hesitated for a while, but she did not blame him.

Hongli looked at the serious face of the Empress Dowager, and said softly: "Mother Huang'er, don't be angry, this time it was He Shen's fault, and I will definitely give Yong Xing justice."

The queen mother looked up at Hongli, and said in a deep voice: "Emperor, although the queen is ignorant, Yongzheng is innocent after all, and he is the only legitimate son. According to Ai's family, although Bingxi is novel and interesting, it is not safe after all. , it’s better to do less in the future.”

Hongli glanced at the person lying on the ice indiscriminately, and replied with a frown, "What Huang Erniang said is true."

On the contrary, Concubine Ling, who was standing beside the Queen Mother, had an uneasy expression on her face.

The empress dowager and a group of female relatives walked away with Yongzheng on their arm, and the lively Bingxi meeting broke up unhappy.Shi Gege took off the skates on the soles of his shoes, and trotted to He Shen's side.Seeing him supporting his waist, with a look of pain on his face, he asked worriedly: "He Shen, are you alright?"

Before He Shen could answer, Concubine Dun, who was walking in front, heard it, coughed softly and said, "Shigeer, let's go."

Shi Gege replied: "I'll come." He could only stand up reluctantly, and told the left and right: "You and your lord will be sent back."

He Shen showed him a comforting smile, but the moment Shi Gege turned around, he completely collapsed on the ice.

The moment he hit the ground just now, he couldn't control the strength well, and now he felt a steady stream of pain in his waist.

It wasn't until Shi Gege's figure was gone that he heard Hongli's voice: "Can I go?"

It was only then that He Shen discovered that the ice players around had all been dismissed at some point, leaving only him, Hongli, and a trembling Chen Xincheng on the ice.

He Shen tried to support his body with his own strength, but he couldn't help feeling a heart-wrenching pain when he moved, so he could only hold on and said: "Can..."

Hongli sighed, and stepped forward to hug him.He Shen glanced at Chen Xincheng, wanting to stand up against Hongli.

Unexpectedly, Hongli couldn't help him, so he wrapped him in his arms with all his strength, and held him firmly.When he walked past Chen Xincheng, Hongli glanced at him, and said with a straight face: "Instead of spending your mind on how to please me, it's better to be a down-to-earth official of the parents of the people. Chen Xincheng, demote to a second level and keep it."

When Chen Xincheng heard this, he quickly knelt down to thank him.At a good ice play meeting, such a mistake happened, hurting a second-rank senior member, and almost hurting elder brother, Hongli didn't take off his top hat, it was a great mercy.

He Shen fell into Hongli's arms and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.Immediately afterwards, he felt that the cloak on his back had been removed, and the young man looked at Hongli puzzled, only to hear the emperor say coldly: "It's all soaked through, do you still want to be sick?"
