The little lady in the palace

Chapter 13 Fetal Gas
Meng Junhuai, who had just gotten off the couch after breakfast, stubbornly insisted not to be supported by others, and walked cautiously in the yard by himself, was caught off guard by the bad news: Concubine You's fetus was gasping when she greeted Concubine Zheng up!
It was an eunuch from the East Court who came to report the story. As soon as he entered the court, he knelt down and said "five and ten": "Yesterday, the concubine didn't say anything else, so she gave the imperial concubine Dingfei to the side concubine." A court lady was detained. Just now when the concubine wanted to ask the concubine to get him back when she asked how she was, but the concubine refused to give it to her, the concubine got anxious... she became pregnant."

Meng Junhuai did not comment after listening, but asked: "How is the side concubine now?"

The eunuch replied: "The side concubine is resting in the main courtyard. I asked Dr. Zheng in the mansion to go. When I went, the side concubine had already recovered. Dr. Zheng took the pulse and said there was no problem."

Meng Junhuai raised his eyebrows, and sneered slightly: "I'll go and have a look."

He has also been bored in his own yard for four or five days. To be honest, he is so bored, and now he is desperately wanting to go hunting on horseback.

——Actually, he might not have such recreational activities as horseback riding and hunting once a month on weekdays. It is really boring these days.

So even walking out of this courtyard, Meng Junhuai felt that it was worth cherishing!He didn't even feel bothered about facing the quarrel in the backyard, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get out.Yesterday he wanted to go out for a walk, but Yang Enlu knelt down and stopped him with snot and tears, but now this matter made Yang Enlu dare not say a word.

In addition, it was known that Concubine You was fine, so although Meng Junhuai walked unhappily due to his injury, he was still "refreshing".

As soon as he stepped into the door of the hall in the main courtyard, he heard a soft and crying voice from the east: "Master..."

Concubine You side was half lying on Yuyin's couch, with several soft pillows behind her, her face was covered with tears.

He walked over, and when she was still two steps away, she leaned over and stretched out her hand to reach her. Meng Junhuai hurriedly raised his hand to support her, but before he could speak, Youshi cried again: "Master, I... I'm scared, I didn't offend you The princess means, but the princess..."

She stopped talking at this point, looked at Meng Junhuai aggrievedly, and tugged at his sleeve to make him sit down.

Not far away, Yang Enlu rolled his eyes, thinking that Concubine You's ability to pretend to be pitiful is indeed the number one in the mansion.Look at what she said, although it sounded like she was holding back and didn't finish, it sounded more like the princess bullied her, and she grasped the proportions just right.

Yang Enlu shook his head secretly.He may not have been sure whether the main concubine who came out of the nunnery was true, good or hypocritical, but after what happened to the little maid yesterday, comparing the two, he at least knew that the main concubine was definitely not as cruel as the side concubine You. , it should be impossible to do anything to harm You Shi.only……

Yang Enlu sighed.It's just that he, an eunuch, doesn't have those matters of love between his sons and daughters in his heart, so he can see clearly, whether King Yijun can see clearly when he is in it, it's really possible!
But he didn't want to reveal the matter of the little maid yesterday in order to save the princess - what if the county prince thinks that he is helping the princess and crowding out Concubine You?He still doesn't want to die for the princess!

Yang Enlu hadn't finished the twists and turns in his heart, when he heard the voice of King Yijun suddenly coming from the front: "Where is the princess?"

Yang Enlu raised his eyelids: "When the slave came in just now... I seemed to see the princess worshiping the Buddha in the small Buddhist hall next to me."

King Yijun hummed, patted Youshi in his arms, and said: "You rest, I'll go ask Zhengfei what's going on."

"My lord, your injury hasn't healed yet... Be careful." Youshi bit his lower lip with a sob, and then said, "Don't blame the princess, she's still young... just a little girl." .”

King Yijun nodded slightly and said nothing else, he asked the servant girl next to him to take care of You Shi, and walked out.

The west wing in the main courtyard was set up as a small Buddhist hall after Yu introduced it to the mansion.When Meng Junhuai was still two feet away, he smelled the scent of sandalwood.He looked sideways, and was facing the Buddha statue on the futon, where Xie Yuyin was kneeling quietly, with one hand upright in front of his body, and the other slowly spinning the rosary.The apricot-pink gilded skirt and the hem of the blue-gray jacquard satin skirt were spread on the ground together, as quiet as their owners.

Meng Junhuai walked in, Huan Liuli, who was waiting beside Xie Yuyin, was in a hurry to greet her, but he stopped her with a silent gesture.

But Shan Shan was worried that he would blame Xie Yuyin, and after a moment of conflict, she still dared to speak: "Your Highness, Your Highness... The thing about Concubine You's pregnancy has nothing to do with our princess..."

Xie Yuyin's hand twirling the beads stopped suddenly, and while trembling slightly, the beads below made a "click" sound.

Then she turned her head and saw that Meng Junhuai was really there, and the mood that had been suppressed just now by chanting sutras and praying for blessings surged up again.

"It has something to do with me..." Xie Yuyin frowned, her eyes flushed with annoyance, "I know she's pregnant, so it's fine if I don't argue with her...!"

After thinking about it, she shook her head again, "But there is no other way to fight..."

She felt that this shouldn't make Concubine You feel angry.But even now, she still refuses to hand Ningzhi to Youshi!

Yu Yin's heart was twisted to death. On the one hand, she felt guilty that she was really not a good concubine, and she actually made her concubine unsafe because of a little maid; He still refused to belittle other people's lives just for him.

She felt that she had encountered a knot that she couldn't untie. After hesitating for a while, she stood up and walked to Meng Junhuai with her head down: "I don't know what to do, Your Highness, please make up your mind."

Meng Junhuai stared at her expression, not knowing what to say for a long time.

He didn't intend to blame her directly at first, he was more or less clear about You Shi's thoughts.He originally wanted to "put a bowl of water on the level", listen to what Youshi said, and then listen to what she said, but now...she hasn't explained anything, and somehow...he has been inclined to believe that she has nothing to do with this matter up? !
Or, at least he believed that she didn't mean it.

Meng Junhuai took a deep breath and maintained his composure: "You don't have anything else to tell me?"

"Others..." Xie Yuyin thought about it seriously, and looked at him earnestly, "I really think that the little maid did nothing wrong, the side concubine almost beat her to death, Your Highness, will you save her life? "

Meng Junhuai was stunned: "Who is the concubine beating to death?"

Xie Yuyin's eyes were full of astonishment: "Didn't Concubine You tell His Highness?"

The two looked at each other for a while, and Meng Junhuai suddenly laughed angrily at her appearance.

He turned his face away and laughed twice, coughed lightly and then relaxed into a serious look, raised his hand and flicked her forehead: "It doesn't sound like a good thing, you still expect Concubine You to tell me by yourself?"

If you want to sue, you must say that others are wrong. Have you ever said that you are wrong?

...oh yes!Xie Yuyin will do it!Just now Shan Shan said that it had nothing to do with her, but she insisted on arguing that it had something to do with her!
Meng Junhuai watched her expression change from bewildered to suddenly enlightened, looked around, and pushed her to the side chair to sit down.Reluctantly, he was injured and couldn't sit down, so he threw a stick to the side: "Say it, make it clear, you don't know what to do, why do you help me?"

"For your husband to help you."

Yuyin was confused by this sentence, she felt as if a handful of bristlegrass under the wall swept across her heart, and she felt itchy when she said it.

Meng Junhuai knew that she was going to blush again, and when he saw her blushing, he secretly smugly took a step closer, put his hands on her shoulders and drew her closer: "Speak quickly."

Hey, his smiling face is so pretty...

The more Xie Yuyin looked at him, the more bewildered he became, and after a long pause, he stumbled to speak.

Outside the Buddhist hall, a few eunuchs stood bowed, stealing a glance in from time to time, and then quickly withdrew their eyes.

The leader Yang Enlu thought, this is in front of the Buddha, it is really inappropriate for you to hug the princess like this, Your Highness!
It doesn't matter if you think about it again, I am a Buddha, I must know that they are husband and wife; my Buddha is merciful, so I will not blame the intimacy between husband and wife.

In the bedroom of the main room, Youshi drank the anti-fetal medicine brought by the maidservant, lay down on the couch and waited leisurely, not forgetting to pay attention to the movement outside.

Chick, Mrs. Xie asked for this.With a pregnant concubine, the first wife has to give way no matter how cruel she is.Mrs. Xie still reasoned with her so clearly, so she really can't blame her for talking about the child and teaching Mrs. Xie a lesson.

But she also thought about it. Apart from what she said just now, don't say anything else that is bad for Mrs. Xie. Let the Xie family leave a bad shadow in the heart of the county prince.

After a while, when the prince of the county came back, she would persuade him magnanimously, making him feel that the concubine was not kind but that she was generous, so she would win this match.After winning this game, if there are similar disputes in the future, the county prince will naturally be biased unknowingly, and she will make him bias a little bit more, and a little bit more... Sooner or later, the backyard of the palace will return I have to respect her again.

You Shi only thought that he could gain the upper hand step by step, so he couldn't help laughing.From the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of an eunuch walking in, and then he held back his smile, and regained his frail appearance after being pregnant.

After looking closely, he recognized that the eunuch was Zhao Chengrui who was beside the princess.

Zhao Chengrui bowed: "My concubine, the princess left a message, saying that you just need to rest here, and you must rest before going back. Even if you stay for a day or two, it's okay, she can go to live somewhere else first."

"Leave a message?" You Shi was dazed, "Where is she?"

She froze for a moment and then asked, "Where is Your Highness?"

Zhao Chengrui suppressed the smile that was about to come out from the bottom of his heart: "His Royal Highness, please go to the front to rest. You don't have to feel that you are causing trouble to the princess. It is a matter of course for husband and wife to live together."
