The little lady in the palace

Chapter 104 The Holy Will
The group hurried back to the capital. On the third day after arriving in Beijing, the imperial decree suddenly arrived, and Meng Junhuai was named Prince Yi, Xie Yuyin was named Princess Yi, the eldest daughter Meng Hejing was named the Lord of Jingning, and the second daughter Meng Lanjing was named the Lord of Good.

Yu led the children to the front house to receive the order with Meng Junhuai, and this was the first time they saw Meng Junhuai after they came back.

After politely sending off the eunuch who delivered the decree, Yuyin patted Meng Junhuai on the shoulder: "Junhuai..."

Meng Junhuai breathed a sigh of relief as he turned back to her side, held her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Huang issued an order to seal it at this time, indicating that the current fire will not be able to burn us, so don't worry."

She hummed, and he took a closer look, only to see that she looked sleepy.

"What's wrong?" He inquired, Yu Yin looked up at him: "We have been back for three days."

"Ah...? Ah!" Meng Junhuai slapped his forehead fiercely. He has been seeing people every day for the past few days, and his life is really muddled.On the day they returned home, he asked Yang Enlu to call back, saying that he was busy and would go to see them the next day... and it turned out to be here now without knowing it!

"I'm sorry!" He smiled and walked out holding on to her hand, "Let's go, go to the main courtyard, I won't do anything this afternoon."

"I didn't want to miss your business." Yuyin smiled helplessly, pulled him, and said, "I heard that you have been busy these days when you wake up, and you are busy until late at night. The other only slept for two hours. How can this work, how can I bear it after a long time?"

After she finished speaking, Meng Junhuai glanced coldly at Yang Enlu's face, and Yang Enlu lowered his head with guilt: "Master..."

"Don't stare at Eunuch Yang." Yuyin frowned even tighter, "If you want me to say, it's okay if some people don't see you. I know you care about the face of your clan, but it's not worth it to burn yourself out." Isn’t it? Besides, those who just want to get reassurance from here don’t matter, if they want to get some benefits from the emperor through you? You’ve met everyone, and there’s always one or two things you can’t argue with.”

Hearing what she said, Meng Junhuai let out a sigh: "I also have a headache recently."

Logically speaking, as an idle prince, he shouldn't be busy like this, but the fact is that since the day when the sky changed, the Yijun Palace has been broken through.

Among the people who came were few courtiers and many clan relatives, there were generally two types of reasons for visiting - one was clan clan members who were very popular at the moment. Yan, come to him, the new emperor's younger brother, to find out what's going on, just like Yu Yin said, for reassurance.The other kind of Yuyin was right. There were a group of collateral clans who had become increasingly troubled in recent years and wanted to go up through him, and they all told him with smiles on their faces, look! We have been brothers in the same family for several generations. Now that the emperor is on the throne, I want to kowtow to him. Would you recommend me?

The first type is not difficult, but the second type is difficult.As for these people who are not there, if he dares to agree to come down and bring them to the Qianqing Palace, the elder brother will have to pull him out like a spinning top.

But refuse it...it's not easy, as they say, they are brothers from the same family for several generations, if he kicks people out here, maybe tomorrow Beijing will have to say that he has no regard for affection. Does it sound good?

Yuyin looked at his frowning face, sneered, and said: "I know you are difficult to deal with, I just sent someone to pass the message to the palace, and the concubine told us to bring the children into the palace to accompany her."

Meng Junhuai couldn't help frowning: "Why did you bother Mother and Concubine?"

"We don't want to cause trouble for the concubine mother. After entering the palace, I just go to accompany her, and at the same time hide quietly, isn't it good?" Yu Yin asked.

Meng Junhuai thought about it, and it was a solution.

He didn't dare to go to the palace to avoid trouble recently, because he was afraid that the sudden change would make life in the palace unsafe, and he didn't want to worry about his mother and concubine any more.But now that the concubine mother has agreed, it seems that the situation is okay, so there is no harm in taking a trip.

So, the next day, when Meng Shixuan, the heir of Prince Pujun, rushed to Prince Yi's mansion to seek help from his sixth uncle, he felt that he had been tricked by the sixth uncle...

Meng Shixu was furious, stared at the gate of the mansion for a long time, whipped the horse away, and galloped happily all the way, but unexpectedly, the more he galloped, the more the fire grew!

He really didn't understand why, when the uncle ascended the throne, he bypassed all the two, three, four, five oldest brothers, starting from the sixth king of Yijun, who was crowned prince, until the ninth, and after tenth, he was crowned prince again His twelfth uncle.

Meng Shixu spent a day and a night convincing himself that the emperor's actions made sense, but he was still angry after convincing him!

He can understand if the emperor doesn't seal the second uncle and fifth uncle first, because the mothers and concubines of the second uncle and fifth uncle are all from lower backgrounds; Sit still, don't lift fourth uncle too much.

but!His father, King Pujun, was not of a low family background - he was born of a noble concubine, and he was not a direct descendant!Why bypass his father!

No matter how he thought about it, Meng Shixu felt that his father was implicated by his tenth uncle, and felt particularly wronged for his father.It is true that the father and the tenth uncle are brothers of the same mother, but these years when the tenth uncle died silently, his father was also very angry!The father didn't follow the younger brother to toss!
Meng Shixu felt that it was unreasonable for the uncle to sit so continuously, so he wanted to find an uncle to go to the palace to help the father to talk, but he didn't expect to ride the horse halfway across the capital, and heard that the sixth uncle had gone to say hello to Concubine Ding.

What's the point of asking at this juncture!It looks like it's hiding from people!

When Meng Shixuan returned to the mansion, he was still full of anger. After dismounting from his horse, he raised his whip and lashed the ground before throwing down the whip. The little eunuch who greeted him bravely told him: "My lord, please go to the hall..."

Meng Shixu entered the door and said, "Kneel down!"

Meng Shixu looked up at his father, lifted his clothes and knelt down without saying a word.

Pujun Wang looked at him and became angry: "You are not very old and have a bad temper. Do you know what time it is now, dare to go to your uncle's house to make a fuss over such a stupid thing, you are looking for it!"

Meng Shixu gritted his teeth while being scolded, his eyes were red but he didn't cry.After waiting for his father to finish cursing, he immediately said: "Father thinks I shouldn't go! Earlier, Uncle Ten didn't like you, but now the emperor still uses this relationship to embarrass you. Doesn't this make you feel angry? !"

"Hey you boy!" King Pu jumped up and wanted to beat him up, but King Ping who was sitting next to him hurriedly stopped him: "Third brother, third brother..."

Prince Ping smiled and persuaded him to sit down: "Don't be angry, Shixiu is still young, and it's the time when everyone loves to argue about everything. Didn't this really cause trouble for the sixth brother? This matter is over."

"Go back and face the wall!" Prince Pujun was still angry at his son, Meng Shixu snorted coldly stubbornly: "I'll find out who is so talkative when I go back, and I can't kill him!"

"You're calling out, right!" King Pu Jun slapped the table.

"Don't say a few words, don't say a few words." Pingjun Wang smiled wryly between the father and son, seeing that Pujun Wang's face was ashen and stopped talking, he quickly waved his hand to signal Meng Shixu to back down.

After Meng Shixu left, King Pingjun sighed: "Don't get angry with the child, let's still think about what the emperor brother means."

Previously, the brothers had a good relationship, but now the emperor issued an order to circumvent them, not because of their backgrounds, or whether they were related to the old ten, but there must be some reason, the emperor didn't say it directly, it is very likely It is for them to find out by themselves.

King Pujun sighed and gritted his teeth: "What does the emperor mean, I want to smack my old ten with my mouth wide."

"Third brother, you...hahahaha!" Prince Ping burst out laughing, and then said after holding back, "Okay, okay, everyone wants to slap him, so be serious."

Not far from the main room, Meng Shixiu finally shed tears after holding back for a long time, but someone stopped him: "Shi Chu."

Meng Shixu turned around and said, "Brother..." He choked up as soon as he called out, nodded and changed his words, "Your Highness."

The person who came was Meng Shijin, the former son of Prince Jin and the current eldest son of the emperor.

Meng Shiying looked at him and smiled: "You've been scolded again? I heard you went to Uncle Six's to make trouble? You deserve it."

Meng Shixu really wanted to hit someone.

"Okay, don't cry. I was going to visit my second uncle. I heard that I was afraid that my third uncle would beat you, so I turned over to have a look. I'll leave if it's okay."

"Hey...brother!" Meng Shixu stopped him, curled his lips, and said, "Second Uncle is here, I'll take you there."

"That's great." Meng Shixuan breathed a sigh of relief as if saving a lot of energy, Meng Shixuan wiped away his tears, and led him to the main room.

Prince Yi's Mansion.

Meng Junhuai and Xie Yuyin didn't come out of the palace until dusk, and when they returned home, it was completely dark.A few children who were having fun in the palace went to play with Ari again. After "perfunctory" them for a while, Ari felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he ran up the tree vigorously, and the children were only left jumping around underneath. Do it in a hurry.

Yuyin ordered two bowls of chicken noodle soup, and when the noodles came, the two of them ate while listening to Wang Dongxu talk about the day's events. They first heard that Shixuan had come to the Prince's Mansion in Pujun in the morning. It is said that the eldest son of the emperor visited his second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle and fifth uncle all today.

Meng Junhuai frowned: "You also came to our house?"

Not only did they let the Pujun Prince's son come to nothing, but also the eldest son of the emperor?
Wang Dongxu replied: "No, His Royal Highness the eldest son only visited these few people, maybe he will come to our house tomorrow?"

The two also felt that this should be the case, and felt that the child was tired enough. After traveling so many places in a day, he had to take a good rest when he returned.

As a result, the eldest son of the emperor did not come the next day.

The third day has not come yet.

And in the past two days, he still went to the former uncles' houses, and he was very enthusiastic.

After hearing this, Yu Yin murmured, and asked Meng Junhuai: "What do you mean by the eldest son of the emperor? The emperor is busy with his succession, so he wanders around these places every day?"

"His meaning must be the meaning of the emperor's brother." Meng Junhuai said this, and then he also wondered about the specific "meaning".

This looks like a gesture of favor.However, what does it mean that the actual title is not granted, and the son is only allowed to "show favor"?
This situation continued for quite a while, and at the beginning of August, they suddenly heard: two, three, four, five county kings... have been ordered to enter the palace!

After staying for a full day, it seemed that I drank tea with the emperor and played chess, very harmonious.

"Brother must have some plans." Meng Junhuai thought about the reason, and heard Azuo and Ayou shouting in pain again, "I don't want to practice calligraphy!!!" For the time being, let it go.

He walked out of the east room and went to the west room used as a study to coax his two sons to practice calligraphy.The first thing I saw when I fixed my eyes was the two little girls, Jing Xiyao and Jing Xiyao, who were sitting in front of the desk, writing every stroke very seriously.

"Hey, you're still a good girl." Meng Junhuai looked at his son and praised the two girls without tact.Seeing that the copybook on which He Jing was practicing calligraphy was not his handwriting, she picked up one and looked at it, and asked her, "Where did this copybook come from?"

"Brother Acheng wrote it to me!" He Jing's eyes were shining, and she asked him, "Aren't Brother Acheng's handwriting particularly beautiful?"

"Yes, it seems that Ah Cheng has studied hard, and he is solid in all aspects." Meng Junhuai said, and glanced at his two sons again.

Azuo Ayou is not happy this time.

After complimenting my sister and cousin, praise my future brother-in-law?Everyone is good, but they are not good?

A Zuo puffed his mouth, and ran over to him with the page he had just written: "I've written it well too!"

Ah You ran over not to be outdone: "Me too!"

Meng Junhuai took it over to take a look—well, for a three-year-old child, the handwriting is really too ugly to see.

But it's not right to compare with adults.Seriously speaking, it is true that the writing has improved half a month ago.

"They're both good, they're all good." He also boasted, but Ah You would not let him go: "Who can write better!"

Ah Zuo tiptoed: "It must be me! I write better than brother Ah Cheng!"

Meng Junhuai was so teased by them that he couldn't help but smile, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration...

"Hiss..." He took a deep breath, put down their words, and went back to the east room, walked around the screen and said, "Yuyin, I'll go into the palace."

"Now?" Yu Yin was startled, he thought for a while and then calmed down: "No, no, no... I'll write a note first."
