The little lady in the palace

Chapter 134
Yu Yin was slightly stunned, and hurriedly got up, tidied up her clothes and made a bun, and brought her maidservant to meet her.

In the room, a few girls who were immersed in guilt were distracted because of this, and He Jing tugged at Xizhen's sleeve: "Cousin."

"Huh?" Xi Zhen looked at her, and He Jing said, "The princess must have come to see You Zexu!"

Xizhen: "So?"

"Aren't you going to take a look?" He Jing said, "The princess likes him, but You Zexu likes you. Do you really not like him at all?"

Xizhen still couldn't figure out what she was thinking now, so she asked her back: "Should I like him?"

"There's nothing wrong with it." He Jing curled her lips, "Even brother Ah Cheng said he was a good man!"

Xizhen rolled her eyes.

"Brother Ah Cheng said" everything, so she ignored her!

In the front house, Yu led out the door for the first time, and called the concierge to ask, only to find out that Princess Duanrou didn't stay here at all, and went straight to You Zexu's residence.

Yu Yin also hurriedly turned over, and when she saw the two of them stop outside Li You Zexu's residence, she cautiously felt that she should not go forward.

A few feet away, Meng Yujing's eyes were red: "Earlier, I was able to enter this courtyard gate, but now I'm not even allowed to enter the courtyard gate. Why does Master Zongqi hate me so much?"

"Princess, forgive me." You Zexu bowed, with a solemn expression, "I know the princess's kindness, but the princess is not worthy of you. The princess came to visit me earlier, but I was injured and couldn't stop it. It's impolite Princess forgive me."

"Who is the girl your lord likes?" Meng Yujing held back her tears and looked at the courtyard wall next to her. "Your lord refuses to say, just because he is afraid that I will cause trouble for her, but I am not that kind of person. I just want to know, what is it?" Which family's girl is so much better than me, so good that even if I try my best, I still can't win the eyes of adults."

"Princess, you misunderstood." You Zexu was still very calm. After a moment of silence, he said softly, "I know that the princess will not trouble her, so I didn't say it because it was my wishful thinking. That girl has a high family background. I definitely don't look down on the minister, this minister has understood from the very beginning. The princess, you and her, are like stars in the sky to the minister, and the minister knows his own weight."

"You are strange...!" Meng Yujing couldn't help being a little annoyed, "You don't like what you like, and you don't deserve what you like. If you really like someone, you... just go and marry her! After all, I am also a princess, you reject me thousands of miles away, and say in front of me that you are not worthy of other girls, you let me..." The little annoyance in her mouth was very obvious, "You deliberately let me I am not happy!"

When Yuyin heard this, she couldn't help but smile wryly.

Thinking about it, You Zexu's words were indeed ill-considered.In fact, the matter has come to this point, everyone can see that he doesn't like Princess Duanrou, and the rhetoric just now seemed blunt and confusing.Meng Yujing is not only the first princess in the palace, but also the only princess in the dynasty. No girl in the world has a higher status than her. She should be able to get whatever she likes. "Not good enough" didn't work for her at all.

Therefore, it is estimated that not only other people understand what he thinks, but Princess Duanrou probably also understands it herself.No wonder she would be unhappy because of You Zexu's words. It's strange that she can be happy after lowering her status by herself.

Yuyin wanted to go forward to persuade her, but just as she called out "Princess", Meng Yujing turned around and went in the opposite direction: "Auntie, you don't need to persuade me, I understand!"

Yu Yin: "..."

She hurriedly asked people to chase her, but Princess Duanrou walked very fast, and when the eunuch followed her, she yelled, "You don't have to worry about it!" They could only stop and look at Yuyin in embarrassment, not knowing what to do good.

Yu Yin shook her head as a signal to forget it, the eunuch retreated to a distance, she looked at You Zexu: "Princess Duanrou is a good girl, it doesn't matter if you don't like her, you shouldn't fool her like this."

"I...didn't fool her." You Zexu frowned and lowered his head, "I'm just telling the truth. I'm not worthy of Miss Xie, and I'm even less worthy of Princess Duanrou. It doesn't make any difference whether you tell her or not... .”

These words hit Yu Yin's heart, she frowned and looked at him: "You really think so?"

You Zexu didn't say a word, Yuyin took a step forward: "Princess Duanrou is the first princess, I won't say anything if you think so. But we said about Xizhen that day, do you still think so? "

"Princess, I..." You Zexu hesitated, his expression seemed a little frustrated, "I don't know how to say it. I understand what you said that day, but I always feel that you are Xie Jia..." He looked unnatural Turned slightly pale, sighed, and said, "When I think about this, I feel that I am not worthy of them no matter what. I don't want to wrong Xizhen, let alone Princess Duanrou. Thank you for your trouble these days." Don't worry, in the future I'll still... I'll concentrate on my errands, and I won't be in a hurry to get married."

It was only then that Yuyin came back to her senses: You Zexu seems to be a little... inferior?
Speaking of this, it doesn't sound as simple as being cautious anymore, he really feels that he is inferior in his heart.

But in fact, in terms of family background alone, he may not be worthy of Princess Duanrou or Xi Yao, but he and Xi Zhen can be called "the right family".

He thinks too much.

Half a month later, You Zexu recovered from his injuries and set off for Jinguan City.After thinking about it, Yu Yin wrote a letter to Meng Junhuai and asked the courier to send it urgently.

In the end, the letter arrived half a day earlier than You Zexu. Taking advantage of this incident, Meng Junhuai was separated from the inexhaustible forces in Jinguan City for a moment, cleared his mind and calmed down, and confessed: "When You Zexu arrives, Just call him in."

That's why You Zexu didn't rest for half a moment after arriving at the place, he went straight to the house that Jin Yiwei had contracted here, passed through one after another rich gates, and walked into the innermost main house.

"Your Highness." You Zexu knelt on one knee, and Meng Junhuai, who was standing in front of the window thinking about something, turned his head and said, "Are you back? Sit down, I have something to ask you."

You Zexu sat down according to the words, Meng Junhuai thought for a while, and said: "It just so happens that the princess has just arrived, saying that you have been injured and sick a few days ago, and I am afraid that you will have a bumpy journey. You will write back to her later. I will also send a letter to your home to report that you are safe."

"...Yes." You Zexu was a little surprised that it was such a topic, but then felt that this was probably an opening ceremony?He continued to wait for the next sentence, Meng Junhuai continued: "I haven't been back for two months, tell me about the affairs in the mansion. I heard that Ah Li and the others are always pestering you, so you can tell me all kinds of interesting things."

You Zexu: "..."

He just chatted with Meng Junhuai in the house all afternoon about the family affairs in such a weird way, waiting for the business while trembling, but until he resigned, there was nothing to do...?
You Zexu still felt strange until he went out of the room, turned his head to look at it, and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

In the room, Meng Junhuai thought about the whole process just now, and nodded to himself: Well, Yu Yin is right, this You Zexu has low self-esteem.

He obviously likes a group of boys in the mansion, so if Ali and Aqi are his cousins ​​and Azuo Ayouai yells like that together, it's not a big problem.But he himself was very cautious, and when he mentioned these children to him, they were all called "the eldest son, the second son, the eldest son, the fourth son, His Royal Highness, the fourth son", even if he repeatedly mentioned their small characters, he would not change his words.

Xizhen and Xiyao are not like this, especially Xiyao, when she taught Azuo and Ayou, she looked like a big sister, she dared to say "Azuo, you need to practice three more pages today", what kind of son's status is she I don't care about it.

It may be wrong for Xiyao to be seen by outsiders like this, but he and Yuyin both think it is good if he puts it inside the gate of the mansion; You Zexu is on the contrary. People like this, how many points ah?

This matter has to be taken care of, otherwise a good child always restrains himself so cautiously, and sooner or later there will be problems.

Meng Junhuai thought for a while, and called a Jin Yiwei to come in: "You Zexu is back, you have sorted out the things you have found out recently and reported them to him, let him make up his mind on what to do next, write it down and show it to me directly."

"Yes." The Jin Yiwei cupped his fists and retreated.Meng Junhuai took a deep breath, and his thoughts went back to the business at hand.

Heh, I really didn't know before that these eunuchs who have returned from their old age...some of them are in their seventies and eighties, and they can still make such a fuss.

It's really not easy.

Seven streets away, there are two simple characters hanging on a mansion: Zhao Mansion.

The courtyard is very deep, the innermost courtyard is empty, the door of the main house is closed tightly, and there are many people inside the door.

The man sitting in the main seat was old and tired, but his face was so clean that he could not find a beard.He was slightly plump, with a rosewood cane in front of him, looking like a lump of flesh clad in silk and satin.

Newcomers came in from time to time, and the youngest one was already middle-aged.Everyone quickly closed the door again after entering the room, stepped forward to kowtow to the old man, and then went to find their own seats and sit down.

No one spoke all the time.After everyone arrived, the old man coughed: "Are you all here?"

The man sitting on the right bowed: "Yes, Master, they are all here. Qian Wu is busy looking for news and said that he will come to kowtow to you later."

The man let out a "hmm", because the delay was so long, his voice was a little thin.

He didn't hide his shrewdness, and took advantage of this to chuckle a few times: "Recently, both of you said that the imperial court found out that Jinguancheng came, or that they came for us. Is it true or not?"

"It's true!" You slapped his thigh impatiently, then got up and bowed, "Master, my disciples dare not hide this from you. Although I can't find any evidence so far, the rumors that came in are true! Some people say it is true." Jin Yiwei, and it is said...that the clan is doing it in person! Can this matter be careless?"

He let out another long "um—" and cast a glance at the speaker: "Your apprentice in Beijing, what do you say?"

"Oh, I don't have any real words, I dare not cause trouble for you." The man said so, but he still told what he had heard, "My apprentice said that Jin Yiwei is currently in the hands of Prince Yi, and Prince Yi is indeed not in Beijing recently. I left when I was looking for medicine for the eldest son of the emperor, and then I was injured, I went back to take care of it for a while, and then left Beijing again, whether this trip is still for the eldest son of the emperor or something else... I don't know."

"Prince Yi." The old man in charge smacked these three words on his lips, and there was a hint of lingering in his eyes, "Speaking of this person, I think of some other rumors."

The man was startled: "Master, tell me."

The old man yelled at him: "The last time Prince Yi left Beijing and was injured, why, do you... know?"

For some reason, the hall was suddenly chilled by his words.The person who spoke just now was stunned, and then wiped off his cold sweat involuntarily: "I'm not sure, master..."

"Then you guys, let me figure this out first." The old man breathed a little tiredly, "I'm getting old, and your door will be cleaned up. After it's cleaned up, let's talk about other things."
