The little lady in the palace

Chapter 117 Dispute
Seeing that the new year was approaching, the mansion suddenly cut off the relationship between You Shi He Shi and her natal family, even letters were not allowed.Meng Junhuai didn't tell Yuyin about this, and Yuyin knew about it because He Shi, who hadn't seen her for a long time, knelt in front of her and cried out of breath.

Wiping her tears, He cried and said: "I don't have much contact with my family on weekdays. Sister You goes back to her mother's house once or twice a year. The last time I went back... that was three or five years ago. On weekdays It means writing letters and reporting safety, why does His Highness not even allow this!"

When she said that, Yu Yin also found it strange.He's cautious temperament probably made the whole palace lined up and counted one by one. She was considered the top three law-abiding ones. She shouldn't have annoyed Meng Junhuai because of some calculations with her family, right?

Moreover, even if it was because of something else... Yu Yin couldn't think of anything else for a moment.Since Lan Jing was handed over to Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. He has not seen Meng Junhuai for a long time. If he can annoy him if he doesn't meet every day, then this is simply a mismatch!

He's eyes were red from crying, and he sobbed and said: "Princess, Lan Jing was handed over to Qiao Liangdi, and there is no one who can speak in this concubine, Your Highness..."

"Okay." Yu Yin was afraid that if she continued talking, she would change the topic to the matter of bringing Lan Jing back to her side, so she interrupted her in time.

Indeed, she felt that if Meng Junhuai really forcibly severed the connection between the He family and her natal family, then the He family would be a little pitiful.But as it is now, she will not be filled with righteous indignation by He's few words, and directly feel that it is Meng Junhuai's fault.

She said to Mrs. He: "You go back first. I didn't know about this beforehand. I'll ask the prince for you when the prince comes over."

He suppressed his crying, choked up a few more times, and kowtowed "Yes".

Yu Yin said again: "It's Chinese New Year, prepare some lucky money for Lan Jing. When it's ready, bring it to me, and I'll ask Qiao Liangdi to bring it to her."

He suddenly became happy, and hurriedly kowtowed and said yes.After she stepped back, He Jing, who was studying in the West Room, came out and leaned towards Yu Yin's side: "Mother Concubine!"

"Huh?" Yu Yin hugged her, "What's wrong? Do you have something to say?"

Ever since He Jing was asked to help her take care of the main courtyard, she would not hide anything from He Jing if she could not hide it from He Jing.

He Jing curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "I think it's better for you not to let Concubine He get in touch with Lan Jing more. Look at Lan Jing's temperament, and she learned from Concubine He at first glance! Ah Li and I are brothers and sisters. , Sometimes it really bothers her, if this continues, what will Lan Jing do in the future?"

"Ah, are you worried about this?" Yu Yin sneered, asked Shan Shan to add a stool for He Jing to sit on, and then smiled, "This is also what the father, mother and concubine have been worried about, so I handed Lan Jing over to you. Qiao Liangdi. But do you know that people can’t live without thoughts, and if thoughts are gone, life will be boring. Your father and king have just severed the connection between the side concubine and the family, and the side concubine You still has Ah Li Qi, there is nothing left for Concubine He, and she has such a personality, Mother Concubine is afraid that she will be overwhelmed, so I will add something to her."

"Oh..." He Jing nodded thoughtfully, "So you promised her to prepare Lan Jing's New Year's money, but still don't let her see Lan Jing?"

"Well, we can still tell the importance of mother and concubine here." Yu Yin patted her head, "Don't worry, father, queen, mother and concubine are all concerned about Lan Jing."

He Jing understood it, and called Ning Zhi in front of Yu Yin, and asked her to deliver some snacks to Concubine He, saying that they were given by the juniors in the main courtyard, and Tao could be regarded as adding some joy to Concubine He.

Yu Yin praised: "You are a fast learner!"

"Hee hee." He Jing smiled triumphantly, "When the concubine mother asked the father why he didn't let the side concubines contact her natal family at night, she also called me to listen, okay? I haven't seen my father do this before." , something must happen!"

After Yu Yin considered it, she nodded and agreed.

If it were in the past, she would never let He Jing hear about this kind of thing, and she felt that the children should not know about the entanglement between adults.But now that He Jing is growing up, it may not be good to blindly hide these things from her - she will always encounter short-term conflicts with her parents in the future, and she always needs to take care of them.

Is it to let her blindly feel that the world is beautiful, and it is better to just live one day at a time, or is it to let her realize the truth so that she can be handy in the future?Yu cited the latter.

So, after dinner in the evening, Yuyin sent the other children back to their room, leaving He Jing alone, and asked about Meng Junhuai's side concubine without shyness at all.

Meng Junhuai was startled, and his first reaction was to look at He Jing.Yu Yin shook his hand: "It's okay, tell me, I just want He Jing to learn."

"..." Meng Junhuai pondered for a while, but he didn't force himself to hide it, "The two side concubines will join forces to deal with you."

In a word, Yu Yin and He Jing were both dumbfounded.

"I reckon it was You Shi who picked the head. He wanted his nephew to marry He Shi's niece. Last night You Zexu waited outside all night, just wanting me to help him block this matter." Meng Junhuai sighed, sneered, "In the past two years, I have been too busy to take care of her. If I can't stop, I won't stop."

After Yu Yin was shocked, she found it unreasonable: "The two of them... join hands to deal with me?"

Meng Junhuai hummed.

"Are they crazy?" She even laughed, "You family and He family, if you add them all together, how much trouble can they cause in Beijing?"

She has grown up so much, and she has never heard of any married daughter of the Xie family being dealt with by other female family members of her husband's family. It's not all because of how easy they get along with, but because there are too few people who have the courage.

From her point of view, even husbands and father-in-laws rarely dare to take anything against the "Xie family" who was married - just take her and Meng Junhuai as an example, they hit it off, so there is nothing to worry about.But assuming, assuming that they don't get along at all, she might feel ashamed to be divorced, and feel ashamed to turn against her husband's family, but if there is a day, she is not afraid.

Dare to divorce Xie's daughter?It is impossible for the family to kill him, and it is not difficult for him to lose his title!

So, no matter how Yu Yin thinks about it, she feels that... You Shi and He Shi have been possessed by ghosts?
Meng Junhuai was amused by her reaction, but thinking about it from her perspective, it was not difficult for him to understand why she reacted like this.

For a family like the Xie family, if the You family and the He family came to visit, they probably wouldn't even be able to get in through the first gate. At first hearing that these two were going to join hands to deal with her, she naturally felt ridiculous.

Meng Junhuai patted her leg and laughed: "I can't afford to cause much trouble. You don't need to worry about it. After the new year, A Zuo will be five years old. I will ask the emperor to be the son of the son, and Youshi won't bother anymore. .”

"...Is it for the son?!" Yu Yin suddenly realized, but her absurd expression didn't change at all.

Meng Junhuai glanced at her: "Otherwise? You have been in office for so many years, will Youshi suddenly come to compete with you for the position of concubine? Then she is really out of her mind."

Makes sense.

But Yuyin felt that... She was out of her mind to plot against the crown prince?
Although it is not that there are no chiefs in each mansion, there are only three situations: first, there is no son-in-law; second, the son-in-law is too poor; third, the son-in-law has a serious illness.

One or two things are not valid here, and the second thing is that A Zuo is still young, so it is really hard to say... But A Li is also young?And even if A Zuo is really bad, there is still A You, the legitimate son, in the mansion.

Why on earth did You Shi think that he could compete in this matter, and why did he marry and form a party so seriously?
Definitely out of my mind.

Yu Yin was inexplicably hooked by this matter, the more she thought about it, the more she found it funny, and then the more she thought about it, the more she got into the corner, especially trying to figure out what You Shi was thinking.

So that night, she had a rare insomnia.

Meng Junhuai was still not sleepy, so he smiled at her insomnia, covered her eyes with his head and said, "Don't think about it, this is just a farce, are you really worried?"

"I'm really not worried, I just feel... I don't understand." Yu Yin said with a tongue.She did mention a question about whether or not to make Ah Li the heir apparent, but it was because of Ah Li's sensibility for a moment, and she regretted it when she said it, and now she feels that there must be something wrong with her when she said that.

Youshi really thinks about this...

Yu Yin pushed his hand away, and as soon as she turned over, she hugged his arm: "Forget it, don't think about it, I don't understand her. There are many things during the Chinese New Year. You can wait until the New Year is over before entering the booklet. I hand it in when you are free." The fold back is also fast."

"Well, good." Meng Junhuai smiled and lay down too.He yawned, and said, "Please seal the crown prince, and by the way, please seal our Ming Jing."

"...is it too early?!" Yu Yin frowned, and Meng Junhuai clicked his tongue: "It's okay, I asked for peace of mind early, so that she won't be unhappy when she sees that both sisters have titles and she doesn't."

Come on...you are spoiling your daughter in a different way.

Yu Yin could see that Ming Jing's birth made him happier than A Zuo and Ayou combined. He was still a normal "loving father" to A Zuo and Ayou, but he had no dignity in front of Ming Jing. Toss with her.

The nanny said that there was a noon a few days ago when Ming Jing woke up and had to lie on his chest before she would fall asleep. He really lay there for more than an hour without moving, and let her sleep like that.

After waking up, Ming Jing was so happy, she grinned and babbled and patted his face, the nanny almost knelt down in fright.

In the east courtyard, Youshi finally figured out the whole story of being disconnected after being dull for two days.She was so angry that she was dizzy for a while, and called You Zexu, and slapped him before he could speak: "You bastard! You have been raising you for so many years for nothing!"

"Aunt..." You Zexu covered his face in silence for a while, then looked at her, "I don't like that girl. Even if I do, I can't marry her."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Youshi scolded angrily, "Do you know what you did!"

"I know! Don't you just want the eldest son to be your son!" You Zexu also shouted.

Youshi was startled suddenly: "Can you say it again?"

"I can see it, do you think the prince can't see it!" You Zexu overwhelmed her voice, "You are competitive, so you force him to be competitive too! See how the four brothers are doing now Isn’t harmony good?! You want him to be the heir, sooner or later the house will fight, Ah Li can beat Ah Zuo, can you beat Xie’s family!”

You Zexu only felt that the depression accumulated for several years came out along with these words, which made him feel extremely refreshed.

He still remembered that the matter of entering the palace as a companion had nothing to do with him, it was because You Zechang provoked Miss Xie's family and was punished, so he came in instead.

He felt that that incident was unimaginable, he didn't understand what kind of poison this cousin was at that time, and he actually went to bully Miss Xie's family.

Then he entered the mansion, the two children of You's family and the two young ladies of Xie's family had the same identities in name, but he could feel the difference between them from top to bottom without looking closely.What made him even more unbelievable was that despite such an obvious difference, his aunt still wanted to compete with the main courtyard.

You Zexu really didn't understand why, if the main court bullied the east court too much, and once A Zuo inherited the palace, the east court would die, so he could understand that his aunt would give it a go, but he said nothing in the past few years Look at it, the main courtyard didn't do anything, did it?

The concubine usually doesn't bother to care about the people in their courtyard, and occasionally asks Ah Li and Aqi to go, and the two brothers also come back happily, obviously they have not suffered any grievances in the main courtyard.

What is aunt planning?
"You can't live in peace..."

With a "slap", Youshi slapped him down again: "Shut up!"

You Zexu gritted his teeth and looked at her without saying a word.

"Get out, get out! I don't have a nephew like you!" Youshi pointed to the door with trembling hands, "Get out!"

"Aunt, you..." You Zexu was surprised that she was so reticent, he was stunned for a while, bowed, turned and left.

Therefore, during the New Year's Eve, Prince Yi's mansion just "had a big accident".

Yuyin heard about this on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and Ah Li told her that You Zexu hadn't come back after half a month since he left the residence, and he hadn't returned to You's house either.

When Ah Li said this, his voice became hoarse from crying, and he shook her arm vigorously and said to her, "Mother Concubine, please help! Cousin is recovering!"

Yu Yin coaxed him for a long time before he was able to be taken away by his servants. He Jing was beside him in shock: "I... Shall I go with Ah Li?"

"Go." Yu Yin said, and hurriedly stopped her, "Wait."

He Jing, who had just walked two steps, turned around, and she asked her: "What do you think about this? Father, Queen Mother and Concubine want A Zuo to be the son, but your mother and concubine want A Li to be the son, you are the elder sister, you How to say?"

"The son must belong to Ah Zuo! After Ah Zuo, it is Ah You, not Ah Li!" He Jing's natural tone sounded very partisan, Yu Yin frowned, and was about to go back to say goodbye. But Jing continued, "But... I don't think this matter has anything to do with my younger brothers, it's just that Concubine You is wrong alone."

As she spoke, she looked at Yu Yin's expression carefully: "And I also think...it has nothing to do with Young Master You. Concubine Mu, don't be angry with Ah Li, he definitely didn't want to argue with Ah Zuo about this!"

"Well, that's right!" Yu Yin immediately agreed with this statement.

To be honest, she wasn't afraid of Youshi and He's family at all, nor was she afraid of You's and He's families. If the matter of "fighting for the son" is brought up, her only worry is that this matter may affect the relationship between their brothers and sisters.

It is a terrible and sad thing for brothers and sisters to turn against each other. She doesn't want this kind of thing to happen in her house at all.To take a step back, if Ah Li and Ah Qi are not at her mercy, then she must at least ensure that her children are not the ones who maliciously cause disputes.

There are many contradictions that they need to understand, but in the final analysis, they are still too young.If you think about how to intrigue with others every day at such a young age, it's hard to say what you will look like in the future.

Fortunately, the big sister He Jing thinks right!

"You have to treat your brothers and sisters like this." Yu Yin smiled and peeled a peanut to feed to her, "We are not afraid of trouble, and we don't make trouble. If someone provokes you, mother and concubine will protect you."
