The little lady in the palace

Chapter 140
In Yongning Palace, Concubine Ding was shocked when she heard about Prince Yi's mansion: "What?!"

Rui Momo knelt a few steps away and did not dare to raise her head. She spoke in a low voice, "Yes...the concubine went to look for the prince, and she left early this morning. I thought I couldn't keep this from you, so I hurried in. I report to you."

Hurry up to report to her after the person left, but didn't tell her to stop him before he left. Concubine Ding choked with anger for a moment, stared at Nanny Rui for a long time before she calmed down: "Get up and answer."

Nanny Rui stood up, Concubine Ding took a deep breath: "Why didn't you stop me, do you think Princess Wang is right?"

"How can I have my maidservant comment on what's right or wrong about the matter in the palace." Madam Rui leaned forward, "This servant just thinks that our princess has always handled things properly."

Concubine Ding calmed down a bit.

A few steps away, Concubine You was making tea for Concubine Ding, when she first heard about what Nanny Rui had reported, she wanted to criticize the concubine while it was still hot, but now she was glad she didn't speak.

It's ridiculous, why does it seem that in the eyes of Concubine Ding, whatever the princess does is justified?The prince is on an errand outside. Is that where women should go?
She continued to listen with resentment, and after concubine Ding thought about it, she asked Nanny Rui carefully: "Only she went by herself? How did she arrange for the rest of the mansion?"

"The matter in the mansion is handed over to Concubine He, and Qiao Liangdi, Su Liangdi, and the Elder Lord will help take care of it. Children, you can also rest assured that the nurses are all here, and the princess will also invite her sister-in-law. Go to the mansion to help, and nothing will happen."

Concubine Ding gave a "hmm" and frowned slightly: "She is a princess, so I can only explain it like this, let me help her change it."

Mammy Rui bowed and obeyed.

Concubine Ding said: "Let Qiao and He Jing make up their minds about the affairs of the mansion, and He and Su will help. Nothing else, but He's temperament is too cautious, it's really a big deal thing, she's useless."

"Yes." Nanny Rui carefully wrote it down, knowing that the last explanation must be explained to Mrs. He, lest she be paranoid and trembling.

Concubine Ding said again: "Send Ah Zuo to the palace to accompany me. The top two in the mansion are outside. If something happens to him, he is the most vulnerable young man."

As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at You Shi, and called her: "Side concubine."

"Hey..." You Shi, who was listening attentively, quickly came back to his senses, and stepped forward to give a blessing.

Concubine Ding said: "You have been in the palace for some time, now that the concubine is not here, you should go back to the mansion. Ah Li and Aqi must miss you too, go back and have a look, and then go to the palace to say hello when they come back."

This is what the shrewd Nanny Rui said, even You Shi herself can understand what it means.

For so long, Concubine Ding has never said that if she is asked to go back, the child will miss her, but now she is asking Ah Zuo to come in, but she is asking her to go back... Concubine Ding is afraid that she will be disadvantageous to the prince.

You Shi felt a little uneasy on his face, and answered "Yes" with a dry smile, and then suggested: "Taifei, do you want to let Ah Li come in to accompany Ah Zuo? Ah Li is the eldest brother, and the children have been..."

"Hey, what's the matter with your biological mother letting her son in just after returning home?" Concubine Ding frowned and waved her hand, "Just let Ah Zuo in, if he feels lonely, let his twin brother come in with him." Come on. Do what the other children do, so as not to change the environment all at once and delay their homework."

Youshi was embarrassed, so he had to say "yes" again.Concubine Ding gave her a wink, and the court lady stepped forward immediately, and respectfully invited Youshi to go out, pack her luggage and prepare to go back home.

After Youshi's figure disappeared outside the door, Mammy Rui took two steps closer to Concubine Ding: "Concubine Do you have anything else to say to your servants?"

Concubine Ding nodded: "There is a girl named Xizhen in their mansion, from the Xie family, Yuyin's niece. You choose a group of trustworthy guards and send her to follow Yuyin to Jinguan City."

"Ah?" Nanny Rui hesitated slightly, "Concubine, Miss Xizhen is 13 years old, this..."

"Don't hurry, just go slowly, don't wrong her." Dowager Ding said, "Lao Liu mentioned this child in the letter, and also mentioned the nephew of the You family, saying that the boy treated her... I didn't ask in detail. Just follow the meaning of Lao Liu."

Concubine Ding said with a chuckle: "As for Concubine You thinking about Princess Duanrou, you don't need to talk too much. I know Duanrou's temperament, if she doesn't mention it, then she probably won't mention it."

On the way, a group of people hurried on the road, Yuyin clearly felt that the road was getting warmer every day, and knew that it was getting more and more south.

Seeing that he will arrive at Jinguan City in two days, when he hears that the servants report that Xizhen is coming, Jiang Yuying is startled.She hurriedly asked someone to invite Xizhen in. Xizhen looked at the busy people, and she lost a lot of weight. When she saw her, she showed her grievance: "I have caught up with you. You can ask questions later. I will drink first." Mouth tea."

Yuyin hurriedly made tea for her, Xizhen drank three cups before recovering, took a few more breaths, and told her what Nanny Rui had told her.Yu Yin felt distressed when she saw her temple hair was sticking to her face with sweat, so she took out the handkerchief and wiped her face, saying, "Didn't I tell you not to rush after me? You insist on catching up with me."

"After all, it was the concubine's order. I took my time...how rude." Xi Zhen bit her lip, waved her hand to let the accompanying guards go out, and then asked Yuyin in a low voice, "Aunt, what do you think the concubine is doing?" What do you mean? Uncle Tang is also going to do this job, but the concubine asked me to go instead of asking Xi Yao, what's the matter?"

She obviously didn't forget You Zexu's thinking, Yuyin naturally wanted to get it, but she didn't say it directly after thinking about it.

She just smiled and said: "You are older than Xi Yao, so you can help me. The concubine probably wants you to accompany me, don't worry, if you have any other orders, the concubine will tell you directly. "

Xizhen was relieved to hear her say that, and went to wash and change her clothes after giving her a blessing.In the room, Yu Yin felt like laughing after being bored for a while, she suddenly hoped that You Zexu and Xi Zhen would be successful.

These two are so interesting.On the one hand, Xizhen is ignorant, and she still can't tell her thoughts clearly; on the other hand, You Zexu is clear-minded but cautious, and she dare not reveal anything clearly from the beginning to the end.

Just this time, it was Meng Junhuai who told her in the letter that Jinguan City is a land of fish and rice, and there are many beautiful scenery. You Zexu accidentally mentioned that he wanted to bring Xizhen to see...but she asked Xizhen if You Zexu would come again When the letter came to her, Xizhen shook her head blankly and said no.

So it is likely that Meng Junhuai and Concubine Ding also mentioned something, and Concubine Ding wanted to make use of it out of good intentions.

Alas, You Zexu is really a good boy.Meng Junhuai told her in the letter that You Zexu had thought of setting up his own family—this was different from what others expected him to do. They just saw everything about the You family as outsiders, and felt that the You family was unreasonable , but for You Zexu, it was a home after all.

It is impossible for him to have no feelings for the elders, and now he will take the initiative to think of this kind of thought, not only because he is disappointed with his family, but also because he is really moved by Xizhen.

A group of people arrived outside Jinguan City two days later, the carriage stopped suddenly, Yuyin lifted the curtain to look, and saw that the Jinyi Guards lined up in front of them, and they all stopped.

"Aunt?" Xi Zhen frowned and looked at her, "Shouldn't I go to the city?"

"Wait and see." Yu Yin said, looking past the crowd to find Xie Jiqing who was in the distance, he seemed to be taking a letter to read, after reading it, handed the letter to his subordinates, and came over by himself on the horse.

He didn't stop until the side of the car, his face darkened: "Last night there was a fierce battle in the city, I have to arrange some things, do you go to the city or go to the official post for a rest?"

"A fierce battle?!" Yu Yin shuddered.

"It's all right now, the prince was slightly injured." Xie Jiqing said, "This gate is under the control of Jin Yiwei, and there will be no danger in entering the city from here."

Then the answer he got did not surprise him at all: "Then I will go to the city."

Xie Jiqing nodded, and immediately arranged for a general flag to escort her with her.The carriage started up again, and the rumble of the wheels was disturbing.

Although Xie Jiqing said that the injury was minor, she was still in fear for a long time, until the carriage stopped again, and she looked at the solemn mansion outside, and regained the dignity that a princess should have.

"Princess." The Jin Yiwei at the door clasped his fists and saluted, Yu Yin nodded and stepped in.

Every time she took a step, she was wondering exactly what kind of injury Meng Junhuai had suffered, how light the so-called "minor injury" was, and whether there would be any root cause of the disease.

She didn't see him even after going through the three courtyard gates, so her breath became a little confused. Seeing this, Xizhen helped her up and said "Auntie", Yuyin patted her hand, and walked through the next courtyard gate .

In the innermost room, Meng Junhuai was shocked when he heard the news, he left the table and went out to greet him, and he also walked through two doors, and the two settled in the same courtyard.

Yu Yin looked at him carefully while holding her breath, seeing that his right arm was hanging by Bai Lian, her eyes immediately became hot.Meng Junhuai knew why she was doing this, and he couldn't avoid the injury even if he tried to avoid it, so he saw her walking over step by step with red eyes and sullen head.

When she walked up to him, she couldn't help crying again, the tears fell on Bai Lian in his hand, her voice sounded like she was injured: "Why did you get hurt again..."

"It's okay, it's okay." He raised his left hand to wipe her tears, and Yuyin wiped her tears too: "You didn't say anything in the letter...or I'll bring a doctor along!"

"There are doctors in Jinyiwei." Meng Junhuai put his left hand into the skirt of his right-covered clothes with great difficulty, trying to find a handkerchief for her, but he had no choice but to find out that he didn't always wear this habit.Fortunately, Xi Zhen took the initiative to present her the handkerchief, and Yu Yin wiped away her tears and calmed down: "Is everything cleared up? Will there be any more dangers?"

"Let's go into the room and talk." Meng Junhuai said, looking at Xizhen again, with a gentle tone, "Xizhen should go and rest first."

Xizhen resigned in a sensible manner, so that they could talk conveniently.Meng Junhuai waited until she left the courtyard before sighing, "Something happened to You Zexu."

"Ah?" Yu Yin was startled, "What happened?"

Meng Junhuai looked gloomy: "It's still in the hands of the other side, and we are thinking about how to save people."
