The little lady in the palace

Chapter 149
You Zexu didn't care too much when he heard that Yang Enlu asked him to help with something in the mansion, so he agreed naturally, and entered the palace at 25 o'clock on the twelfth lunar month.

As soon as Yuyin heard that he had agreed, she laughed, and said with her tongue, "Sure enough, I'm going to suffer for the sake of saving face!"

"Auntie!" Xizhen called from the side, and asked her worriedly, "Don't say that in front of him..."

Yuyin sneered and hurriedly replied that he knew.Boys and girls of this age are the same, when the face is the worst, you have to wait until you are a little older to realize that the opinions of others are not that important.

Then she asked someone to invite You Zexu to come to the main courtyard and go to the west room to help Meng Junhuai write a post - after all, writing a post was just a cover, the important thing is to celebrate the New Year together, you can't leave people alone in the front house.

So You Zexu greeted Yuyin in the main room, and as soon as he sat down in the west room, Ming Jing came in babbling.

Holding a piece of pineapple cake in her hand, she handed it to You Zexu: "Brother, eat!"

"..." You Zexu, who had just written three words, looked around, freed the saucer, took the pineapple cake and put it inside, and said with a smile, "I'll eat it later."

"Huh?" Ming Jing frowned, grabbed the piece of pineapple cake again when he picked up the pen again, squeezed between the table and chairs, stepped on his boots, and climbed onto his lap.

Then without saying a word, he stuffed the pineapple cake into his mouth: "Brother, eat!"

"My Lord..." You Zexu wanted to hide, but his mouth was already covered with scum.

He had no choice but to laugh or cry, because one hand was still hanging to recuperate, and the other was supporting Ming Jing, so he couldn't free his hand to pick it up, so he had to eat the snack.

Ming Jing clapped her hands happily: "Hee hee!"

You Zexu touched her forehead: "My brother wrote the post first, and I will play with you later."

In the end, Ming Jing probably felt that she was rejected, and she was about to cry: "Woo..."

"...Don't cry, don't cry! Let's play with you for a while!" You Zexu said while looking for someone to cast a distressing look and let others save him, but there was no one else in the room.

Fortunately, the little girl Ming Jing is quite well-behaved and easy to coax, as long as she is willing to play with her, she is happy, making funny faces and juggling tricks are all good.After playing for a while, Ming Jing yawned and fell into You Zexu's arms, her eyelids were clenched, and she was about to fall asleep.

You Zexu patted her, breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to continue writing when a burst of laughter came in from outside again.

A Zuo and Ayou just came back from reading, Ayou lost his mind today and was caught by Mr. Fan, so he was fined to copy the book.Who wants to copy books during Chinese New Year?Ah You tearfully begged his elder brother to copy it for him all the way, but the ruthless brother laughed and teased him all the way!
After being laughed at by his brother for a while, Ah You finally cried for real.When Ah Zuo saw it, he turned around and coaxed him: "Okay, okay, don't cry, I'll copy it for you twice! If you cry until the concubine finds out, I can't help you!"

Ah You sniffled, looked up at his brother with tears in his eyes, "You copy half of it for me!"

"...You're too greedy!" A Zuo put his brother's airs on his hips, "Besides, it's wrong for you to be distracted by reading? We both copied the same amount, should we punish you or me?"

"But ten times is a lot...eight times are too much!" Ayou wiped away tears, hugged his brother's arm and continued to beg, "I will study hard in the future, brother, help me! I still want to go to my grandfather's house to play..."

Eldest sister is going to Xie's house tomorrow, if he gets caught up in copying books, he will definitely not be able to go!

The two brothers begged hard, and the other couldn't bear to deal with such self-torture.After spending a long time in the main room, when he heard the door knocking, he turned his head and saw Brother You came out with his sister in his arms.

You Zexu looked around, lowered his voice because Ming Jing was asleep, and asked them, "Where is Lord Weng's nanny?"

A Zuo also lowered her voice, and told him: "She really doesn't like nanny following...I'll call!"

Then A Zuo ran to Ming Jing's room and called the nanny over. The nanny apologized to You Zexu and hugged Ming Jing away. You Zexu wiped off his sweat and was about to enter the house to do business when he was dragged away by A You Stopped: "Brother..."

Ayou looked at him with a tear-stained face, very sad and indignant: "Brother, help me! Save my life...!"

You Zexu: "???"

He always remembers how his brothers stood up for him last time, and besides, he couldn't bear to see Ah You trapped in the room and punished for copying books.He agreed to copy the book for him by imitating Ah You's handwriting, but the speed of handwriting slowed down unknowingly, and You Zexu was startled when Zhao Chengrui came to invite them to dinner. Looking at the posts on the table, he still only moved the first one, and there were still only the three words before Ming Jing came to stuff the pineapple cake.

When I arrived at the main room, I saw that Meng Junhuai, the Piansheng, was also there.

"Your Highness." You Zexu bowed. Seeing that he was obviously guilty, Meng Junhuai asked, "What's the matter? Are there still people who are not used to it in the mansion?"

"...No." You Zexu lowered his eyes to the two brothers next to him, and said, "In the afternoon...some things were delayed. I haven't finished writing the reply from His Highness, and I will definitely finish it tonight."

"Oh, it's okay." Meng Junhuai said as usual, "There is no rush to post, just write when you have time, don't rush too much, don't get tired. You know the mansion well, so you can walk around and play with them as you like. "

You Zexu let go of his heart and thanked him, Meng Junhuai didn't bother to ask anything else, but Yuyin was more careful to remember this matter.

——No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Azuo and Ayou were also guilty!

You Zexu felt guilty because he didn't finish writing the post, so why are they guilty?She felt that they must not be guilty because they delayed You Zexu's writing post, otherwise, based on the enthusiasm of the two brothers, they would probably stand up and say, "Father, don't blame brother, we delayed him to write the post." " and the like.

She asked herself that she still knew her son, so after dinner, she called them to her front and asked bluntly, "When Father Wang was talking to Brother You, why were you guilty? What did you do wrong?"

Azuo Ayou: "...?!"

Meng Junhuai looked over curiously, and You Zexu, who was rinsing his mouth, suddenly choked on the tea in his mouth: "Cough cough cough..."

... These one and two are obviously not lying!

With Lu Qi showing like this, naturally everyone knew that he couldn't help it, so Yuyin didn't waste any more words, and Azuo and Ayou all "confessed".

The result in exchange was that Meng Junhuai told them with a stern face that he was not allowed to go to his grandfather's house to play tomorrow, and it was useless to apologize, and it was useless to apologize to You Zexu!
So at night, the two brothers burst into tears in the main room; early the next morning, they watched He Jing and Xi Yao leave together in tears.

After a day, the two of them will have long memories, and Yuyin will bring them over to reason, telling them that it is normal for them to want to play and not copy books during the New Year, but it is wrong to lie to the elders and the husband!
Ayou nodded regretfully and said that he knew he was wrong, Yuyin threw a sweet date over in time, and ordered Zhao Chengrui to send them to Xie's house to play.

"Really?!" Ah You was overjoyed, after a while, he climbed onto Yu Yin's lap and hugged her happily, and then promised to finish copying the book obediently after playing!
Yu Yin thought to himself, hahahaha, to take the initiative to make such a promise?Then you should regret it again!

In this way, the Chinese New Year in the main courtyard was a joyous one.Xie Sheng also came over on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and even You Zexu was completely relaxed at this moment. After seeing Xizhen being hit by a snowball from Xie Sheng, he threw it over without saying a word. !

"Hey you..." Xie Cheng was thrown defenseless, he turned his head and rubbed the back of his head and grinded his teeth, "Brother You, you have so many people, it's a shame that you can't win with force!"

The voice of the word "ah" fell, and a dustpan of snow was poured on his head.

After Xizhen succeeded, she took the dustpan and slipped away. She didn't stop until she reached the porch, and yelled at him: "Then you can call He Jing to come back! Don't talk about it, we win more with less!"

Seeing them arguing with each other about these little things, the servants waiting in the yard couldn't help turning their faces away and sniggering.Xie Sheng blushed, touched a snowball and slammed it over, Xizhen subconsciously blocked it with a dustpan...

The snowball made a bend and headed towards You Zexu!
But he didn't expect the snowball to be too hard, You Zexu let out a muffled sigh and rubbed his forehead for a long time while supporting the pillar, obviously it hurt from the impact.

As soon as Xie Sheng saw it, he rushed over to apologize to him. Unexpectedly, You Zexu suddenly stretched out his hand to grab snow and smeared it on his face while rubbing it. Under Xizhen's shock and laughter, there was another "fierce battle" in the yard .

Outside the courtyard, Youshi, who came to report to Yuyin because he wanted to go back to his mother's house on the second day of the new year, stopped when he heard the laughter, and when he looked up, his expression changed suddenly.

She stood there in a daze for a long time, then asked the servants beside her in disbelief, "When did the cousin come?"

"This..." Liang Guangfeng also felt very surprised, so he had to bow down and answer, "I don't know about it, I haven't heard about it... Should I ask him to come out, I should also say hello to you?"

"...Forget it." Youshi looked at the courtyard and shook his head, not even having the courage to go in for a while, so he regained his composure, turned around and walked back.

She suddenly felt extremely flustered, as if she lost her backbone and became a kite with a broken string, and she didn't know where to rely on her heart.

When You Zexu got so close to the main courtyard, she didn't know at all, it was different from Ah Li and Ah Qi's closeness to the main courtyard.

Ah Li and Ah Qi are close to the main courtyard. Although she is not happy, she can't say anything.After all, the concubine is their aunt, and the aunt gets along well with the concubine, which is enviable wherever they are placed.

But You Zexu is different, You Zexu is her nephew, has the same surname as hers, and has nothing to do with the main courtyard.

Now that it's Chinese New Year, You Zexu entered the mansion like this, but he didn't even say hello to her.And not only did he not mention it himself, even the prince didn't send someone to tell her.

She suddenly felt as if she had lost everything.

Once upon a time, she was the first to know everything about the palace, no one would hide anything from her, no one dared to hide anything from her.

And now... did they feel that there was nothing they had to tell her?It made her feel unimportant, and the feeling that it didn't matter if she existed or not terrified her.

After fear, unwillingness gradually spread.Not content with this situation, she couldn't help but want to prove that things weren't as bad as she thought they were.

"Liang Guangfeng." You Shi calmed down, his voice still trembling, "You...go to the main courtyard in a while, please come over, Mr. Biao, just say that I want to talk to him."

"Yes." Liang Guangfeng bowed in response without daring to say anything, took two steps back, and turned back to the main courtyard.

In the hall of the main courtyard, a few people with covered heads and faces covered with snow finally couldn't bear the cold and went into the house to keep warm.

When Zhao Chengrui saw it, he hurriedly filled the stove, and got a hot handkerchief for them to wipe their hands and faces.

Yuyin picked up the curtain to see the commotion outside, and laughed when she saw the three of them like this: "How old are you and you still make such a fuss! Fortunately, the younger brothers and sisters are not here, otherwise the joke will kill you!"

Several people laughed, Ming Jing glanced at You Zexu, climbed onto the chair and pointed to his forehead: "Brother is broken!"

It was the snowball shot by Xizhen just now that bruised his forehead.

You Zexu slapped her forehead with a stern face: "Who are you saying is broken?"

"Brother is broken!" Ming Jing was very serious, and even reached out to touch, "This place is broken!"

Yu Yin smiled and turned her head away to pretend she didn't see it, and let them play around.Xi Zhen hugged Ming Jing and taught her: "It's green, you can also say it's swollen, but it's not broken! If the head is broken, something big will happen, you know!"

But Ming Jing stomped her foot stubbornly: "It's broken! It's changed color!"

Hahahaha changed color!
If it wasn't for maintaining her demeanor, Yu Yin would have collapsed laughing in front of these children.So she secretly remembered this matter, thinking that she must tell Meng Junhuai at night.

Inadvertently raised her eyes and glanced into the yard, her smile subconsciously stopped.

Wang Dongxu was walking this way, followed by Liang Guangfeng, who was in charge of the East Court.

Yu Yin waited indifferently until the two of them walked to the door and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Princess." Wang Dongxu bowed and pointed to Liang Guangfeng, "He said that the side concubine asked him to invite Mr. Biao to come over, and said that the concubine wanted to talk to Mr. Biao."

As soon as the words fell, Xizhen immediately looked at You Zexu, and You Zexu looked at Yuyin with embarrassment after a moment's delay.

"Oh, this matter." Yu Yin smiled, and looked back at You Zexu, "You can make up your own mind. If you don't want to go, I won't force you, and there is nothing wrong with going to ask the elders according to the rules."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and sat down at the Eight Immortals table, waiting for You Zexu's reaction with some curiosity.

Liang Guangfeng also waited for You Zexu's reaction.Although he knew about the previous entanglements of the You family, he was not panicked, thinking that You Zexu would never say so publicly that he would not go to the East Court.

You Zexu pondered for a while, and said to Yuyin: "Princess, I'm going out to have a few words with Eunuch Liang."

"Say a few words"?Liang Guangfeng was startled by these words: "Biao Gongzi, you..."

Xizhen grabbed him, and said directly without lowering her voice: "What are you talking about, when the family sent you away for dumping five taels of silver, no one asked you to come over!"

"It's okay, I know." You Zexu shook her hand with a smile, and patted her hand tightly, "I'll be right back."

They tugged and tugged like this, Liang Guangfeng's eyes were straightened, and his tongue was tied: "Your cousin, you...?"

"Eunuch Liang." Yu Yin opened his mouth in a timely manner, and said calmly, "You will understand when you see it, and you should tell the side concubine when you go back. But you must remind her again, whether she is happy or not, You are not allowed to vent your anger on the children."

She paused for a while, smiled and continued to speak more clearly: "Listen well, no matter which family I am from, whether it is from the main courtyard or the east courtyard, I will not allow them to be wronged for nothing."

Liang Guangfeng shrunk his neck subconsciously.

Just say it.Yuyin got up easily, and told Zhao Chengrui as she walked into the house: "Go and get some clean clothes. If you want to go to the east courtyard, change your clothes before you go. Don't freeze."

Firstly, she won't be wronged by going there, and secondly, she won't suffer from snow-thawing disease, and nothing else has anything to do with her!
Seeing her like this, Xi Zhen felt relieved and squeezed You Zexu's hand: "Why don't you just go to the East Courtyard, let's go together."

Liang Guangfeng almost knelt down in fright.Oh my god, the side concubine is obviously trying to compete with the main courtyard, why does it feel like she is already at a disadvantage now?
