The little lady in the palace

Chapter 111 Children
As soon as the imperial decree was spread to all the prefectures, many people wondered: How do you talk about it if you are under 11 years old?How come there are still zeros and wholes?
Later, some people inquired about it, and King Pu Jun said to King Qi Jun, "Guess what happened? When Brother Huang made the decree, the sixth brother's family was there. The eldest daughter of his mansion this year Ten years old, the year of keeping filial piety is exactly eleven!"

"Hey." Duke Qi was delighted when he heard that, "Since when did the sixth son get so close to Brother Huang?"

King Qi Jun laughed, feeling a little uncomfortable.The emperor's brother became the prince from the beginning of this sixth brother, although it's nothing... but he can't stand that he is the direct son of the empress dowager, and he is still left on the throne of the county king without taking care of him by the emperor's brother. It is inevitable that the younger brothers are not pleasing to the eye.

In this way, the sixth brother bears the brunt of it!
King Qi Jun took a sip of tea from the teacup, and then persuaded himself: "Oh, maybe it's because he is in charge of such an important position as Jin Yiwei, so naturally he has more contacts with the emperor brother."

"Hey, that's not it." King Pu Jun also took a sip of tea, and didn't feel the awkwardness of King Qi Jun. He just said, "In this way, all the children of our families will follow suit. Brother Huang said that children under the age of 11 , but I didn’t say that the first year is false, so if you are more generous, you can pocket a few more.”

King Qi was dumb, and said to himself, third brother, you are also very good at taking advantage of loopholes?Just now, he was thinking in his heart that he should not be careless about the imperial decree, that he should be stricter, and also pick out the children who were under the age of eleven, but the third brother was actually thinking about taking advantage of him, contrary to him?
It's okay, anyway, Brother Huang will be fine if he doesn't pursue it.

King Qi thought about it, and began to care about the ages of the children.

Prince Yi's Mansion.

When Xie Sheng came to see He Jing again, she was reading a book in the west room of the main courtyard, eating a pack of spicy tendon as a snack, and he was dumbfounded.

"Hejing, you..." He lowered his voice cautiously, "Aren't you a filial piety, why are you..."

"Ah Cheng is here?" Yu Yin came out from the east room, Xie Sheng hurriedly turned around, and bowed straightly: "Aunt."

After saluting, he glanced at the dish of tendon again, and took half a step to the side without any trace, blocking the tendon.

But this little trick still caught Yu Yin's attention. She thought for a while, then sneered: "Are you afraid that He Jing is stealing food behind my back? No, it's the emperor's decree that children under the age of 11 in each mansion You can eat meat as usual before noon."

Unexpectedly, when she said this, Xie Cheng was even more confused, and there was a bit of obvious grief and indignation in his expression.

Yu Yin was stunned and questioned in detail, Xie Cheng said to her with a bitter face...the family said that his marriage with He Jing has been settled, so he should accompany He Jing to observe the filial piety for the Supreme Emperor, and share the burden with He Jing With grief, I will do my best with He Jing.

Xie Sheng thought about it for himself and thought it was right, so he fasted without complaint.

but!Who knew He Jing was eating meat as usual!

Who knew the emperor made such a decree!No one told him!
Yu Yin was dumbfounded after hearing this, and He Jing looked up at him, then smiled and lay down on the table.

"You're still laughing!" Xie Cheng turned and glared at her, "I've been so pale for more than a month that my mouth has no taste!"

"Hahahahahaha don't be angry!" He Jingfu twitched on the desk, and pulled out a hand to grab him, "I can't blame me...I didn't know you were keeping my filial piety with me!"

There are many types of imperial edicts, some are to be announced to the world, and some are for those who receive the edict to know.There is obviously no need to announce this kind of decree to the various governments, and it is not even necessary to spread it outside the clan.

He Jing held back a smile and looked at Xie Sheng, feeling that he had indeed lost weight, so she looked at Yu Yin again: "Mother, concubine, let's add some meat to brother Ah Cheng for lunch!"

"Hey, good." Yuyin nodded, looked at the two half-grown children, and then avoided going out, letting them talk by themselves.

In the room, Xie Sheng sat down on the Arhat bed next to him, and He Jing couldn't continue writing after writing two more words, so he ran over to play with him.

"You finish writing first!" He said to her while sniffing the fragrance of tea with a smile, and He Jing sat next to him: "No, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Xie Sheng laughed: "My homework is harder than yours. If you want to find me, go to Xie's house and find me?"

"I can't go..." He Jing frowned, "The concubine mother said that I am a big girl when I am ten years old, and I can't go to play with you casually, so I can only ask you to come over when you are being tested by your father. ..."

She curled her lips as she spoke, recalling Yu Yin's warning, and said vigilantly: "Ah! You didn't tell others that you came to see me, did you? The concubine mother said, just let others think that you came to greet her."

"Don't worry, I didn't say anything." Xie Sheng smiled easily, "Oh... I just saw your sister when I came here, and I mentioned something when I greeted her."

"Ah?" He Jing immediately showed worry, after thinking for a while, she still felt that she should remind him!
She said: "Don't tell Lan Jing too much, she can't keep her mouth shut. If she knows, Concubine He and Concubine Qiao will know, and then everyone will know..."

Xie Sheng: "..."

He pursed his lips vigorously: "Then I won't talk to her in the future."

"Well, don't talk to her!" He Jing laughed with satisfaction, and leaned on his shoulder, "Are you going to compete with the guards in the mansion later?"

Xie Sheng raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Do you want to see it?"

"I want to see it!" He Jing nodded immediately, Xie Sheng thought for a while: "Then it's not convenient for me to ask my aunt."

At noon, Meng Junhuai also came over to eat together, and at a glance he saw a big meaty Dongpo elbow on the table.

He was startled, stared at it for a while, and then sized up Yuyin: "Great for this? Take it easy if you eat meat, you can't do it too hard."

He was afraid that her body would not go well, and he was also afraid that if the baby was too big, it would be difficult to give birth.

"What?" Yu Yin glanced at him, "It was called for Ah Cheng. This child has been obediently keeping filial piety for the Supreme Emperor for almost a month, and only now does he know that He Jing has meat to eat."

Meng Junhuai: "..."

So he calmly asked Yang Enlu to bring the elbow to Xie Sheng, who blushed with shame.

Then throughout the meal, everyone was urging him to eat two more bites of meat.

Xizhen is not much younger than him, and in the past two years she has become someone who can make some decisions in the main courtyard. Seeing him sullenly pawing rice, she asked with concern, "Do you want another bowl of rice?"

Xie Sheng choked, and quickly said no need.

He Jing arched his arm: "How about you help me eat half a bowl? I can't eat it."

"Can't you eat?" Meng Junhuai raised his eyebrows, reached out and took the bowl from He Jing's hand, and calmly scratched a piece into his own bowl, "Father will help you."

He Jing: "..."

Xie Sheng: "T_T..."

After lunch, the children went to their lunch breaks, and Meng Junhuai and Yuyin also went back to the house.Yu Yin sat cross-legged on the couch, and had no choice but to reprimand him for what happened just now: "Why are you being serious with Ah Cheng again?!"

"I can't hold it back, I really can't hold it back." Meng Junhuai himself panicked with regret, he is a person who is used to eating less and more meals, eating half a bowl of rice extra at noon is really...frustrating.

He burped uncomfortably, and Yuyin looked at him with a helpless expression: "Look at you, you hurt others and yourself, right? 'Ego' is the root of pain, if you really don't like Ah Cheng, don't let him Jing married him, so I really..."

She doesn't even know what to say! ! !

"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Meng Junhuai sat next to her and looked at Fang Liang, "Ah Sheng said he wanted to compete with the guards, right? I'll pick a few younger ones and let him have a good time in front of He Jing." Bundle."

Hey, this still looks like something an elder would do!
Yu Yin smiled, and dragged him to lie down together, and the two took a nap together calmly, waiting to see Xie Sheng's recent kung fu.

As a result, when the guards were called over, Yu Yin sensed that something was wrong.

He Jing thought it was interesting, so she decided to call other children to watch it together. Of course, everyone from Xizhen to Ayou in the main courtyard was there, and Ah Li and Aqi from the east courtyard were also called by her. Only Lan Jing was absent. .

Yuyin asked Wang Dongxu to come and ask him what's the matter?Is Lan Jing not feeling well?

Wang Dongxu replied that there was no, and the Eldest Master had ordered that the Er Weng Master should not be invited.

Yu Yin and Meng Junhuai were stunned at the same time, she felt it was inappropriate, and even if she wanted someone to invite Lan Jing, Meng Junhuai shook her hand: "Forget it, maybe it's a child quarreling, we'll talk about it later when we ask what's going on. "

Yu Yin was right after thinking about it, so she put the matter aside for the time being and concentrated on watching Xie Sheng compete with the guards.

The person Meng Junhuai called was indeed the most junior guard in the mansion, but for Xie Sheng, he was still at a disadvantage.

Xie Sheng is fourteen this year, seventeen the youngest among the guards, he is stronger than him in terms of strength and skills, naturally he loses more and wins less.

He lost two games in a row in the sword competition, and He Jing was crying beside him, which made the third guard who came on stage hesitate to make a move.

"It's okay." Xie Sheng himself didn't care, he glanced at He Jing and then at his opponent, "I will admit victory or defeat, so don't let me."

"This kid is grand." Meng Junhuai looked out of the window in the room and praised him. After the words fell, Ah Li suddenly called out vigilantly: "Sister, look!"

Just as He Jing looked in the direction he was pointing at, he had already pulled Ah Qi beside him and chased him out.

It turned out that Ah Li had sharp eyes and quick reflexes. He glanced at the peeking person by the courtyard gate, and then realized that it was Lan Jing.

As for Lan Jing, she reacted quickly. When she saw that she had been spotted, she turned around and ran away, so Ah Li chased her out.

Lan Jing was nearly two years younger than Ah Li. She had just run a few steps when Ah Li grabbed her by the shoulders: "Stop!"

"Brother..." Lan Jing felt guilty, she didn't dare to look at him, she lowered her head and said, "I didn't mean to peek."

"I don't care if you peeked on purpose or not!" Ah Li said aggressively, "You can't tell others what you saw, and you can't cause trouble for your sister and concubine, you know!"

Before he finished speaking, Lan Jing wiped away tears.

She came here only when she heard that her brothers and sisters were all here, and she thought that Ah Li and A Qi also found them by herself.After hearing this, I realized that they didn't want to play with her on purpose...

"You have to say everything out?!" Ah Li had suffered a lot from her because of similar problems not long ago, and now he vented his "old grievances" out of anger. Ah Qi was scolded! You are too..."

"Ah Li!" Meng Junhuai, who came out, stopped him, and stepped forward to hug Lan Jing, his expression clearly grim.

He saluted again: "Come in, I have something to ask you."
