The little lady in the palace

Chapter 10 Anger
"Pregnant?" Meng Junhuai asked in surprise, and there was no sound in the room for a while, but it didn't seem to be because anyone was in a particularly unpleasant mood, but because the news came so suddenly that no one could tell. Did not respond.

Er'er Meng Junhuai took a deep breath and subconsciously looked at Xie Yuyin.Yu Yin also just came back to her senses, she thought for a while and asked him: "Am I... making some arrangements?"

"..." Meng Junhuai still looked at her, admiring her calmness even more.

Because Mrs. Guo was planted on the child's affairs, long before Xie Yu came into the mansion, he had imagined what kind of attitude this new imperial concubine would have on similar matters.

——Is it like the Guo family, who can't tolerate concubines having children, or will they like other children in the mansion generously?
He imagined several different situations, but he didn't expect her to react like this - she didn't look happy at all, but she didn't look unhappy at all, she just asked him flatly if he wanted to make some arrangements, business The attitude is as official, as if this matter has nothing to do with her.

It was so hard that he couldn't say anything to comfort or warn her, so he had to follow the "business as usual": "You send a post to report this to the queen mother and concubine mother, they will call you into the palace, you go and reply That's it. If you have a reward, follow it, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

Xie Yuyin responded with a sigh of relief, a little glad that she didn't need to bother with this kind of thing.

Her father did not have a concubine, but her uncle did.One year when she went home for the New Year, it happened that one of her uncle's concubines was pregnant, and her aunt was very worried about it.She heard that after her eldest aunt had been the mistress for many years, she even read a lot of medical books, mainly because she was afraid that something might go wrong when the concubine's room became pregnant.

The mother sighed to her and said: "Your aunt is too careful. A woman's family is pregnant and has children, how can everyone be safe? Your uncle is not an unreasonable person. But she doesn't even gossip. I wish there was, and I have to work hard every time.”

At that time, Yuyin was 12 years old. After hearing what her mother said, she just felt that the life of her eldest aunt was really tiring, and she must not let herself be so tired in the future.

But when the imperial decree came down to marry her to the sixth prince, and she heard that there were several children in the sixth prince's house, she suddenly thought about it again, and suddenly she had a different perspective.

She was startled that as long as something happened to the concubine's pregnancy in the mansion, no matter if it was something done by the concubine or not, some people would more or less think that it was the concubine who did something!Some of them may not have any malicious intentions, and they are really just too busy to gossip and make up stories after dinner; but it is inevitable that there will be one or two who seriously feel that the mistress is doing harm to others.

This dark tone is annoying.Maybe my husband didn't believe a word at the beginning, but what if it happened twice or three times?Still believe it a little...

Xie Yuyin was gloomy all afternoon because of this, especially when she realized that as the mistress, she was more powerful than the back house of the Xie Mansion run by her aunt, but she was not at all like her aunt who had even read medical books. after……

Now that Prince Yi told her that she didn't need to bother her, she was relieved!

When she turned around, she stayed far away from the East Courtyard, prostrating to the Buddha when she should, and chanting sutras when she should.The people in her main courtyard don't touch the mess in the east courtyard at all. When Youshi is born safely, she won't take any credit for it; but in case there is an emergency... that is, the mother-child fate is not enough, and it has nothing to do with her of.

The more Xie Yuyin thought about it, the more relaxed she became. After returning to the main courtyard, she took up a pen and wrote a post, explaining in a concise and concise manner about Youshi's pregnancy, and sent Shan Shan to the palace.

But Coral handed over the post to Zhao Chengrui.After turning back, he said to her: "My servant looked carefully, the eunuchs in the yard should let Zhao Chengrui take the lead. Then Wang Dongxu has a big idea, it's okay if someone is suppressing him, but if he takes the lead, something may happen."

After finishing speaking, Coral elaborated on her thoughts.She said that before the Lantern Festival family banquet yesterday, the two concubines and several concubines drank tea together in the main room, and Zhao Chengrui and Wang Dongxu went to help the princess watch. However, Wang Dongxu mentioned Su Shi, who was dressed so plainly, and helped Su Shi talk.

"My servant thinks that he doesn't just say what he sees, but he wants to sell Su Fengyi. If Su Fengyi hooks up with you, it will definitely benefit him."

After Shan Shan explained this, Xie Yuyin agreed that Shan Shan was right.

It doesn't matter if he wants to gain benefits, but it is still very dangerous for him to choose whether to deliver or not.She is a princess, so it is impossible to figure out what each person thinks one by one. Most of the time, she can only listen to what others say and then make a decision. If their expressions are biased, it will inevitably affect her thoughts.

"It is indeed Zhao Chengrui who is more reassuring." Xie Yuyin thought for a while after making up his mind, and then said something special, "Then you should be careful, and don't let Wang Dongxu have contact with the East Court in the near future. Um... let Zhao Chengrui also took care of the others."

She still didn't want anything to happen to Youshi's baby, so it's better to have a peaceful life.

After Zhao Chengrui came back from the palace, he talked back to Yuyin, saying that the Empress and Concubine Ding both said that she would be free tomorrow, so she could enter the palace tomorrow.

Xie Yuyin got up early the next day, packed up and prepared a carriage, and went to the palace.

After entering the palace gate, I soon saw the concubine Ding's mother in Yongning Palace, who looked very happy, and said to Yu Yinfu, "Your Majesty asked what the Empress Dowager meant, and the Empress Dowager also said that this is a Congratulations, to see you, the empress will go to Kunning Palace first. You can also go directly to Kunning Palace."

Yuyin followed the nanny to Kunning Palace.When she arrived, the Empress and Concubine Ding were drinking tea and chatting in the hall. Seeing her coming in, the Empress hurriedly said before she saluted: "Come on, Concubine Ding has praised you for a long time in this palace. Sit down."

Yu Yin took a seat on the chair next to her. At the beginning, she was curious that she had never met Concubine Ding, so what could Concubine Ding praise her for?Just keep talking and you'll understand.

Concubine Ding praised her for being sensible and blessed, and she had a child just after entering the mansion.

Yuyin was a little dazed and wanted to say that in fact, counting days, Youshi was pregnant with this child as early as one and a half months before she entered the mansion.

Concubine Ding also praised her for being dignified and virtuous, she would definitely be a good mother in the future, and told her not to be nervous, and her nurse would take care of things she didn't understand.

Yu Yin was even more confused.

She could only politely agree while being confused. Fortunately, all the topics can be passed by "politely agreeing", and there is nothing to ask her specifically.

After a short while, Yuyin withdrew from Kunning Palace.Before coming out, the queen rewarded some hairpins, hairpins, jewellery, silk and satin, while Concubine Ding was afraid that the mansion would be insufficient due to her pregnancy, so she gifted four young maids.

It was still the nanny who brought her here who sent her out, Yuyin was really a little dizzy by the process just now, and hesitated to speak: "Mommy, the concubine Youshi in our mansion is pregnant, the queen just now What do you mean by Empress and Concubine Ding..."

Why does it sound like they misunderstood that she was pregnant? !

It shouldn't be!She has only been in the house for more than a month, and this child is three months old!
This nanny is an old senior, so she could tell what she was thinking with a glance, and said with a smile: "You are a princess, and the children in the mansion are naturally your children. What the ladies remember is naturally all yours." .”

The first sentence is nothing, but Yu Yin vaguely understands the latter sentence: It seems that this means that the side concubines of the palace can't get on the stage with the concubine?

While groping, she glanced at the four little maids who followed behind, and said: "The person and things that the empress gave..."

"Oh, are you worried about this?" Mammy noticed that the princess seemed very ignorant, but she didn't reveal anything, "You can do whatever you want. The most important thing now is to give birth to the baby safely."

To put it bluntly, although these rewards are for her in name, she can still give them to Youshi with peace of mind, because the most important thing is to let Youshi have a good pregnancy.

So after Xie Yuyin returned to the mansion, he asked people to send gifts to Mrs. You together with the maid, and he also ordered "be careful to record the files", and then he went back to the main courtyard to rest.

In the east courtyard, Concubine You was lying crookedly on the couch, she was gnashing her teeth, feeling particularly uncomfortable.

She didn't want to talk about her pregnancy at this time.Things are most likely to happen in the first three months. It is not clear whether the new princess is good or evil. She originally wanted to wait until four or five months later.

Yesterday, the king of Yijun met the princess but didn't see her, which made her feel unhappy, so she said it directly - she thought that even if His Highness was injured and couldn't come to see her in person, she should be asked to meet her, right?
But it didn't, His Highness didn't say anything!She didn't hear until this morning that the princess had decided to hand over the post to enter the palace last night. The queen and concubine Ding immediately sent the princess to enter the palace to speak, and they also didn't ask her a single word.

She originally wanted to rely on this child to earn back the shame she lost yesterday, but now the whole family knew that she had a child, but His Highness still hadn't seen her, so she really lost face again and was dizzy with anger.

Shan Cha also persuaded her, saying that this is the rule in the palace, and it was the same when she was pregnant last time.

Is it the same with You Shixin?When she was pregnant with Ah Li, the main concubine in the mansion was His Highness's original spouse, Guo Shi.The present one is just a stepmother, and she is younger than her in terms of age, how can she overwhelm her like Guo Shi?
It must be what she said in front of His Highness yesterday.You Shi gritted his teeth fiercely, and he could imagine Xie Yu citing that innocence in front of His Highness to persuade him to rest in peace, or let her rest in peace and not disturb her child!
Youshi was so angry that he breathed a sigh of relief again, he raised his eyelids when he heard the footsteps, and saw the gardenia beside him coming in.

Behind Shanzhi was leading four little maids.

This box of gardenias leaned towards her, and the four in the back knelt down with their heads down.Shan Zhi reported: "Our concubine came out of the palace, and the empress gave you some things as rewards, and they have been cataloged and put into storage according to the rules. These four are given by the empress Ding to serve you because she is afraid that you will not have enough people around you. "

Shanzhi was heartbroken, and never dared to mention that these were actually given to the princess in name, and the princess gave her again, let alone mention that according to the rules, the concubine should thank the princess.

But as soon as she finished speaking, a porcelain cup slammed to her feet and shattered to the ground.

Youshi looked at the four young maids in front of him who were no older than eleven or twelve, and the youngest was probably only six or seven years old, and he was furious: "Isn't the concubine Ding bestowing these little girls to give me a baby? Isn't it the one in the main courtyard who changed her?" She is the one who is gossiping with the empress! Take it back, and give it all back to her! Who are you going to show off against? Auntie won't let her do it!"
