The little lady in the palace

Chapter 1
The coldness of winter is kept out by the warmth of the room, but the bright sun at noon can still shine in smoothly.Yu Yinduan was sitting in the main room, the golden lotus flower skirt on the royal blue horse-face skirt reflected a faint golden glow in the sun.

The eunuch bowed and said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the matters in the mansion are up to you to be the master."

Yu Yin was startled, and said "oh", only then did she realize that she had been married to King Yijun for almost a month.

It's not that I feel how fast the days go by, but it's really not much different from before.

During those years of cultivating Buddhism in the temple, Xie Yuyin's daily routine was reading scriptures and worshiping Buddha, apart from eating and sleeping.After entering the Sixth Prince's Mansion, she still eats, sleeps, reads scriptures, and worships the Buddha. The only change seems to be that the two side concubines come to kowtow to her every morning to say hello.She didn't have to see them either, if she didn't want to see them, she would let them drink tea in the main room for a while, and then send people out to send them away.

Therefore, the life after marriage is not as big as she imagined, nor is it as difficult to adapt to as she imagined.

Now this is the first serious matter she has encountered since entering the mansion.

Xie Yuyin withdrew from her trance, saw that the eunuch was still waiting, replied "Got it", waved his hand, and told him to leave.

Seeing Shan Shan who was waiting nearby, she hurriedly took out a golden horn to send the person out, and came back after a while, opening the curtain, and said softly, "Lady, that is the person in front of His Highness."

Xie Yuyin didn't mention the reward just now, it was she who made the decision and took the money to tip the reward.Coral is a little guilty, it can be seen that Yuyin nodded and didn't respond, and was a little anxious, leaned over and said: "My lady, you... treat these people with care in the future. This is different from our own. The slaves have heard that Zong Everyone in the mansion..."

"Okay." Yu Yin cut off her words with a frown, and with a quick glance, she knew that the half of Coral that was choked in her mouth was "complicated".

Yu Yin said seriously: "Go and spread the word, and invite the two side concubines to discuss together tomorrow. Just say that we don't know how the mansion celebrates the New Year in previous years, so I have to ask her two to make up their minds."

When Shan Shan heard this, she was anxious for her master: "Don't...don't! I didn't mention it in the past, but now you are the concubine, this is a matter for you to make up your own mind, why bother to promote them in vain?"

"I make up my own mind. If it's done, it's fine. If it's not done, whose is it?" Yu Yin glanced at Shan Shan's face calmly. Seeing that she was still unwilling, she lightly With a smile, "Okay, why are there so many injustices? Even if it's something I should get started, you have to let me take my time, right?"

Corrupted by Xie Yuyin's words, Shan Shan bowed her knees and went on an errand.

As soon as she went out, the clever little eunuch outside greeted her immediately, smiling: "Sister Coral, our princess has no desires anymore?"

"Shut up! Is this what you should say?!" Coral drank without a smile on her face.

The little eunuch immediately turned pale, nodded and bowed, and dared not say anything else.Shan Shan glanced at the main room again, calmed down, and told him: "You boy, behave yourself. Listen, the lady's lunch is not delicious, so ask the dining room to order some appetizers at night. Less meat and more vegetables— - The lady has been in the temple for a long time, and now she has to take her time if she wants to eat meat."

"Hey... yes!" The little eunuch hurriedly responded, and without waiting for Shan Hu to say more, he bowed and went to the dining room.

Coral breathed a sigh of relief on the spot, and walked away.She had to personally handle the matter of communicating with the two side concubines, which was the rule established for her the day the princess entered the mansion.

On the other side, Meng Junhuai, the king of Yi County who just came out of Changyang Palace, has a lawsuit on his head.

His biological mother, Concubine Ding, was ill a while ago, and now she is recovering from illness. As a son, he came to the palace to greet him as a filial piety, but he didn't expect to be scolded.

After finishing the ceremony, Concubine Ding reprimanded with a straight face: "In the past month, you have never mentioned the concubine even when you entered the palace. Even if I don't ask, I know that you are just hanging out. People are coming."

Meng Junhuai got stuck for a while, before she could explain, Concubine Ding said again: "Let me tell you, in the past, Guo Shi's mistakes were rarely remembered on Xie Shi's head! The disharmony between wives and concubines in your house, even if Guo Shi's viciousness is the main one, You are not wrong as a husband! The emperor doesn’t blame you, you don’t know what’s the fun? The person who was ordered by the emperor to enter your main courtyard just stands there and doesn’t care. Who do you think you are beating? Face? You have ruined her face by not seeing her, if there is a scene in your house where you dote on your concubine and kill your wife, who do you think you are hitting in the face?!"

Meng Junhuai knew that what the concubine mother said was right.Father didn't blame him this time, because the things in his mansion were different from those of the tenth brother who favored concubines and killed wives.But if he keeps avoiding the Xie family casually, he might spoil his concubine and destroy his wife next time.

But he really didn't offend Mrs. Xie because of the former concubine Mrs. Guo, it was Mrs. Xie...

In terms of her family background, Xie's family is a famous family; in terms of appearance, he is not bad, when he first saw her on the wedding night, he admitted from his heart that she was born beautiful.

But she... she was ordered by her grandfather to practice Buddhism in Hualing Nunnery for ten years.

Ten years!From the age of five to 15, he was accompanied by the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng every day, and only went home during the Chinese New Year, and spent the rest of the time outside the world of mortals.

So on the night of the wedding, after admiring her beauty for a moment, he quickly noticed the traces of "pure heart and asceticism" revealed under this beauty.She sat on the edge of the couch and looked at him, her bright eyes were spotless...

He stared at those eyes for a while, and the more he looked at him, the more calm he became, and in the end, unexpectedly, unexpectedly, he couldn't have the slightest desire that he should have on the wedding night!

Meng Junhuai felt that feeling was too weird, this was the only time he faced a beautiful girl but didn't want to touch her, even thinking about "those things" was blasphemy to her, it was a very sinful thing!
That weird feeling even made him feel overwhelmed in the bridal chamber. After watching her for a while, he finally went to Westinghouse to sleep by himself.The next day, the two of them went to the palace together to kowtow, and he didn't see her again for the next few days.

He wanted to take it easy first, to allow Mrs. Xie to get used to the house, and second, to let him concentrate on the busy period of years ago.But I didn't expect Concubine Ding to watch all directions with her eyes and listen to all directions, and she directly reprimanded her, and the meaning was very clear-he couldn't let him delay this matter, he had to "get acquainted" with the new concubine quickly.

Yijun Wang Gang and Ruoguan were young and energetic, but now they feel depressed and helpless, and they walk in a hurry along the way.A group of attendants followed behind him, none of them dared to speak loudly.

It wasn't until he went out of the palace to get on the carriage that Yang Enlu, who was in charge, approached the curtain and asked cautiously, "Master, do you want to go back directly to the residence or..."

A sentence popped out inside: "Don't go back to the house and drink the wind outside?!"

When Yang Enlu heard this, he was very angry.Hurry up and give him a wink, signaling the people below to be more careful.This road was very quiet, and when they reached the gate of the mansion, King Yijun got off the carriage and entered the mansion gate, and the crowd still maintained this kind of silence.

After getting off the carriage in front of the gate of Wangfu, King Yijun went straight to Xie Yuyin's residence without resting for a moment.

The layout of the prefectures in Beijing is similar, the male family lives in the front, the female family lives in the back, and the front and rear courtyards are separated by a row of back buildings.Xie Yuyin is the main concubine, and she lives in the main courtyard at the back.Enter from the front gate and pass through the mansion gates one after another. Except for the houses in the middle, you have to go around a few places, and you don't even need to turn a big corner.

The king of Yijun walked like a breeze, and when he entered the gate, the eunuch who was sweeping the floor by the gate was startled.The eunuch was also younger, and in a hurry to pay his respects, he didn't pay attention to the broom in his hand. When the broom fell over, it fell right in front of King Yijun.

King Yijun was caught off guard and staggered, but thanks to Yang Enlu's quick hands, he helped him stabilize.

King Yijun stopped and glanced over, the eunuch turned pale with fright, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Highness, forgive me, Your Highness forgive me!"

"Twenty sticks out." He didn't think much about it, he continued to walk in after giving this order, took two steps, raised his eyes, and stopped again.

Xie Yuyin stood by the door and looked at him, then moved closer, and said with a blessing, "Your Highness."

Yijun Wang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't vent the evil fire in his heart to her.Calming down, he stretched out his hand to support her: "No, just go in and talk."

Xie Yuyin got up steadily, and he let go of her and went to the main room. Just as his front foot stepped over the threshold, he heard a soft voice from behind him: "Everyone, go and sit on the side, there are ready-made ones." Tea. Cheng Quan is waiting here, and I will have a few words with His Highness."

Meng Junhuai raised his eyebrows, and when he turned his head, he saw that everyone in the courtyard was hesitating there with a bit of surprise.Xian called "Cheng Quan" was the one whom he sent off just now, the two eunuchs who were about to drag him out right now hesitated and didn't know what to do, and he himself knelt there not knowing what to do.

He looked at Xie Yuyin again, her back was facing him, her sapphire blue horse skirt was neatly folded.The color of the upper jacket cannot be seen from the back, only a wide-sleeved cloak of moon-white jacquard satin is flat and neatly covered to the knees.

The middle seam of the cloak is correct, and her standing posture is more correct.Meng Junhuai teased "the spirit of immortality" in his heart, and then corrected himself that the word refers to Taoism. The one in front of him...

At best, this is a little nun who knows nothing about the world!
He chuckled subconsciously, said "come in" to Xie Yuyin, and walked in.

Xie Yuyin also turned around and followed him in. The eunuchs in the courtyard were still dumbfounded. It was the first time they saw someone dare to refute the prince's order inside the gate of the mansion.

Then someone came forward and asked Yang Enlu to make up his mind: "Master Yang, look..."

Yang Enlu pondered for a while, considering that King Yijun didn't refute directly, Xu just wanted to save face for the princess, so he said: "Listen to the princess first. Let's go and drink tea!"

A group of eunuchs went to the side room, Cheng Quan calmed down, wiped off his cold sweat, moved forward, knelt down to the door of the main room, and waited for orders.

In the main room, the two sat down on both sides of the desk.Meng Junhuai thought about what his mother and concubine said just now, so he took the initiative to say: "You don't want that eunuch to be punished, so forget it."

Xie Yuyin bowed calmly, "That's great, thank you Your Highness."

"..." Meng Junhuai couldn't continue for a while, and after thinking about it, he smiled again, "But you also need to know that this is the palace of the king, and the etiquette and rules cannot be messed up. If in the future..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw her drooping eyelashes, and let out a long and gentle breath, which made him suddenly feel that he was facing a compassionate nun in a Buddhist temple, and he choked on his words.

She looked over indifferently: "I'm not a random kind-hearted person. It's just that good and evil are rewarded, and karma has reincarnation. Your Highness..."

Meng Junhuai was cut off, and after hearing this, he deliberately interrupted her once: "Good and evil are rewarded, it doesn't matter if you are kind, do you think this king is a wicked person?"

"..." Xie Yuyin hesitated for a while, looked at him seriously for a while, then shook his head.

For no reason, he was delighted for a moment.

She paused and said, "I don't think His Highness is a villain. It's just that what His Highness just did..."

He knew that it was a little too much for him to throw his stick twenty times before, and he was a little annoyed at being corrected by her like this, so he slammed his hand on the case with a "slap", but the mother's concubine's exhortation flashed in his mind suddenly!
Xie Yuyin's indifferent eyes flicked back and forth on his face twice, Meng Junhuai glared at her for a long time unhappy, coughed dryly, and could only bypass the topic: "I didn't eat in the palace, so I asked the kitchen to deliver it to you." Come over with some food, let's talk about the New Year while eating."

After he finished speaking, he began to drink tea. Unexpectedly, after Xie Yuyin answered "Yes", he asked him logically, "Would you like to discuss with the two side concubines?"
