The little lady in the palace

Chapter 145
The vermilion lacquered door opened a crack in the light of the night, and the servant inside the door fixed his eyes on him and shrank his neck: "Master, you are back..."

"Yeah." You Zexu nodded, but the boy didn't invite him in right away, but said, "Wait a minute, I'll go in and answer."

These words almost made You Zexu sneer directly.

This is his home.When he came home, he acted like a guest.

He pulled the boy: "I wrote a letter to my family before. Tell my grandfather, if he has any concerns, he might as well come out and say it clearly, and I won't go in and bother."

The boy bowed and said "yes" before disappearing from sight.You Zexu looked at the familiar street under the night light, and thought to himself that he should not really let himself go in.After all, he came back this time, before the family knew about the injury and the reward.

"Hey, isn't this Zexu?" A voice distracted him from his thoughts, and You Zexu took a closer look. It was Aunt Zhao, the neighbor on the same street.

Aunt Zhao is not a bad person, but she talks a lot.Seeing him right now, she opened up the conversation, stepped forward and pointed to his dangling arm and said, "Why does it hurt? Did you work in Jinyiwei?"

"Yes, I accidentally injured the prisoner." You Zexu laughed.

Aunt Zhao looked at his flying fish suit, and said again: "Hey, it looks different from the one you wore last time. Is this a promotion?"

You Zexu nodded: "If you have done some merit, you will be promoted."

"It's a good thing!" Aunt Zhao suddenly smiled, and after thinking about it, she said, "You can't be careless about this injury, take good care of it. Hey, I have freshly stewed chicken soup at home. I'll bring you a bowl later. Come!"

As she spoke, she turned around and turned back, but You Zexu didn't have time to say "no".

Shocked by this incident, his gloomy mood improved a bit, he smiled to himself for a while, and a call came from behind: "Master."

You Zexu turned around and saw that the boy had returned to the door, he looked up again, but his grandparents, parents and several other important elders in the family had all come out.

Are you really not letting him in?

You Zexu froze in his heart and nodded, "Grandfather."

"Zexu!" His mother couldn't hold back, she called out and came out to meet her. Grandma yelled at her, but his father didn't seem to notice, and followed his mother out without saying a word.

Everyone's expressions were seen by You Zexu, who was standing outside the door, and he sneered inwardly, looking like his mother's eyes were red, and wanted to cry again.

"Mother." He smiled easily, "Mother, please don't cry, my injury is fine, the bones are healed, and I will be fine after a few more days."

"Go home and take care of yourself." My father said, "Take a leave, and let's talk about other things after the injury is healed. It's almost Chinese New Year, just in time..."

A cough interrupted my father's words.

The three of them looked over together, and the head of the You family walked out with his hands behind his back.

"Second brother, don't be in a hurry to call him back." He glanced at his son and then at his grandson, "Let me ask you a few words."

You Zexu nodded: "You ask."

"What you said in the letter is true?" Grandpa looked suspiciously at the flying fish suit he was wearing, "It's clear that he's been promoted, so what's the matter?"

You Zexu sighed: "It's probably counting. I'm injured like this, and I haven't been in Jinyiwei for a long time. His Royal Highness Prince Yi means that since the emperor has awarded him, I will stay in Jinyiwei for a while, and then he will find someone else. This is an excuse to change another errand for me."

The head of the You family asked again: "What's the errand?"

"This..." You Zexu's face froze, "I didn't ask about it. Your Highness is busy recently, so it's not easy to meet each other, so..."

"Aren't you really dissatisfied with Prince Yi?" The Patriarch of the You family looked awe-inspiring.

You Zexu frowned and looked at him, as if he didn't understand where he came from.

The Patriarch of the You family paced around him, looked at him and said: "Your injury is not serious, and it was suffered while on an errand. Jin Yiwei said that he doesn't want you at this time, which is not appropriate for the situation or reason; let alone the emperor personally rewards you. Prince Yi shouldn't have to worry about leaving you as a person who can't do business. But you still can't get along in Jinyiwei, ask, is there any other reason?"

You Zexu took a deep breath and looked back at his grandfather: "Probably not, at least I didn't notice it myself."

The Patriarch of the You family stood still, and looked at him with a gloomy expression: "Then let me ask you again, the fact that Princess Duanrou is interested in you, but you just refuse, does His Royal Highness Prince Yi know?"

You Zexu nodded: "I know."

"That's it." The Patriarch of the You family sighed, "You must know that Princess Duanrou is the niece of Prince Yi. Regardless of this, she is also the only princess in the world. If you do such a thing, Yi Will the prince not care about it privately? Yu Gong, will he not be afraid of the emperor's blame?"

"The emperor didn't blame you..." You Zexu said, and the Patriarch of the You family suddenly became angry: "It will be too late when the blame is settled! You can still get a reward now, that's because of your merit this time. But Jin Yiwei Don’t want to keep you, you still don’t understand what it means?”

"But I..." You Zexu frowned and gritted his teeth, "I can't marry Princess Duanrou."

"Heh, you just want to go now, and Princess Duanrou might not want to marry you!" The head of the You family looked at his arm coldly, "Don't blame us for being cruel, Prince Yi and the current emperor are not us. A You family can afford to offend. If Prince Yi wants to disassociate himself from the relationship and show it to his superiors, we have to do the same!"

You Zexu turned pale: "Grandfather, you..."

"Father!" The father couldn't listen any longer, he stepped forward and said, "At least let the child recover from his injuries before you say this! Now that he is injured like this, and it's almost the end of the year, don't you Let him go home where is he going!"

The Patriarch of the You family didn't let go, and took a deep breath, as if he was about to muster up a lot of courage: "Go and get him five taels of silver."

Then he said to him: "Look for a better inn to live in. You should ask the doctor, please the doctor."

You Zexu felt so cold that he didn't even want to answer.

The Patriarch of the You family didn't say any more, turned around and went back to the mansion, and the others followed suit, only the family of three remained silent in the night.

"Zexu..." His mother sobbed, and You Zexu shook her hand: "Don't cry."

The father sighed: "Oh, five taels of silver is not enough! Just wait a while, and Dad will bring you some money, so you can spend this year well."

"No, I have a place to go." You Zexu smiled, "You don't have to worry, I...wouldn't be so miserable. But I want to ask, if I get ahead in the future and buy a house outside, will my parents be Go live with me, or do you want to stay at home?"

"Of course I'll follow you!" Mother didn't hesitate at all, but father thought about it and said, "Don't worry about it, it's not so easy to work hard on your own. Bearing this thought will make you feel even more tired."

"Okay..." You Zexu couldn't explain much for a while, so he could only answer first.Even though he kept saying no, his father went back and got a lot of money, and said he would go with him to find a place to settle down, but You Zexu persuaded him not to upset his grandfather.

In the end, he persuaded his parents to go back before leaving by himself.Looking at everything familiar in front of me again, my whole heart sank down empty.

He thought by chance that maybe he was too pessimistic, but after verification, he realized that it was just a fluke.

This home can never be returned.And his future home, the home he can decide for himself...he will never let it become like this.

In Prince Yi's Mansion, Yuyin asked in the morning and learned that the You family had indeed fallen out with You Zexu last night, but You Zexu didn't come to the palace immediately.

Zhao Chengrui said: "The slave went to invite Mr. You at that time. Mr. You said that it was too late, and he was afraid that he would disturb you and His Highness if he came again at that time, so he insisted on going out and staying for one night first."

He probably wanted to be quiet by himself.

Yu Yin sighed and shook her head, she looked at Meng Junhuai, and Meng Junhuai, who was being changed by his servants, looked back: "Don't worry too much. If you don't come today, I will send someone to take it back forcibly."

After saying that, he went out, went into the palace to pick up A Zuo A You, and by the way, he also wanted to say hello to Concubine Ding, thanking her for taking care of the two children recently.

——Yuyin originally wanted to go together, but Concubine Ding sent someone to send a message early in the morning, saying that she knelt for an hour yesterday and still asked why, who lacks her gift, let's talk about it during the Chinese New Year .

She took it for granted to be lazy like this, teasing Ming Jing at home and waiting for A Zuo A You, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that Ming Jing who had grown up a little was cuter.

When You Zexu arrived, Azuo and Ayou had just returned home, and they were hugging Ari in the yard to express their condolences.

When the two looked up and saw him, they dropped Ari: "Brother You!"

The two brothers stood in front of him and looked up at him: "Are you looking for the father or the mother?"

"Looking for Your Highness." You Zexu sneered, "I don't see the study in front, it should be here?"

"Here!" A Zuo said to his younger brother, "You stay here with elder brother, and I will tell my father."

In the room, Meng Junhuai and Yu Yin were arguing about You Zexu, and when they heard that someone was coming, Meng Junhuai got up and was about to go out: "Don't worry about it, I'll see you first, take your time. "

"Hey, don't..." Yuyin grabbed him relentlessly, "Listen to me, I'll send someone to spread the word! I really need this most today, and he must be feeling depressed right now. Don’t worry, it’s also a celebration for you.”

"All right, all right." Seeing her insistence, Meng Junhuai finally let go, and said while walking outside, "I'll go tell him, you send someone to pass the message."

When he walked out of the room, he saw You Zexu leaning far away outside the courtyard door: "Your Highness."

Meng Junhuai walked up to take a closer look, and saw that his face was haggard.

"Go into the room and say." He greeted people inside, but You Zexu hesitated slightly: "Your Highness, this main courtyard..."

"It's not that you and the concubine have never met before. Why are there so many false rules?" Meng Junhuai patted him on the shoulder, "Come in. The concubine is saying that we will have a small banquet tonight to celebrate our achievements. Your master is also here, and thank you Sheng."

Xie Sheng...?
You Zexu was stunned, and for a moment didn't understand what kind of feast this was.

Meng Junhuai laughed in his heart.This Yuyin first said that Xizhen was like her own daughter to her, and then called Xie Cheng and You Zexu to the main courtyard for a gathering...

Tsk, is the son-in-law meeting?
