The little lady in the palace

Chapter 150 Preparation
Xizhen and You Zexu really walked through the East Court together.

As soon as the two of them entered the gate of the East Courtyard, they felt an obvious sound of gasping for air from around them.

Xizhen really wanted to laugh, she thought to herself, what is this?Concubine You took the initiative to send people to invite people, and the people in the East Courtyard reacted when they saw them—did Concubine You not expect that when they went to the main courtyard to call for someone, they might call other people together?She didn't think about the consequences before doing things?

She was teasing, when Concubine You appeared at the door of the main room.

"Side concubine." Xizhen stabilized her feet and bent her knees to give a blessing. You Zexu was silent for a while before bowing: "Aunt."

"You guys..." Youshi obviously froze because of their appearance together, his smile became a little unnatural in surprise, "... Come in and sit down, I haven't seen Miss Xizhen for a while."

The two entered the room, You Shi went to the main seat and took a seat, and they sat on both sides.Liang Guangfeng stepped forward in time, and whispered Yuyin's warning in Youshi's ear, and the smile on Youshi's face froze for a moment again.

Her nephew actually fell in love with a girl from the Xie family? !

And she couldn't do anything.

Youshi was dazed, and after a while forced himself to laugh and said, "Zexu, you and Miss Xizhen..."

"Well, as my aunt saw." You Zexu said calmly.The unprecedented bluntness in his words made Concubine You startled, and he continued, "His Royal Highness and Princess Wang both nodded, and we..." His eyes softened unconsciously when they passed by Xi Zhen, and he lowered his eyes and smiled , "After she reaches Ji... I will treat her well!"

Youshi didn't know how to react for a while, and stared at him suffocatedly for a while, before saying another sentence: "Is the family agreeing?"

"Grandfather kicked me out of the house, can't he care about such a thing?" You Zexu couldn't hold back the sarcasm, he kept his voice quiet and slowed down his thoughts, and said, "I will tell my parents someday, auntie don't have to worry about it." .”

"You..." Youshi couldn't tell whether he was annoyed or sad. He got stuck for a while, but he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Xizhen. He smoothed things over and said, "Your grandfather was just short-tempered. Don't worry about it. I'll go home later." A letter, should you go home or go home, don't always go out by yourself..."

"Where did you start with 'moment of shortness of breath'?" You Zexu didn't follow her down the steps. After driving me away, does my aunt think I should go back?"

He said with a smile: "I don't have to worry about my aunt when I'm outside. Your Highness found me a house. After I get married, I will bring my parents to live with me... It's not uncommon to start a family by myself. Find me back again!"

"How can you say that!" Youshi lost face because of his words. He patted the table and said, "You have lived in the East Courtyard for six years, and you turned your elbows like this in the end? Li Ah Qi also called you cousin, why do you..."

"Does the side concubine dare to say this in front of my aunt?" Xizhen suppressed her words without looking sideways, "In the eyes of my aunt, the main courtyard and the east courtyard are all a family, why in the eyes of the side concubine, he Get closer to the main courtyard, just turn your elbows out?"

Xizhen looked at her with a smile. There was no respect in her eyes, but it was not disrespectful either: "Are you taking this back yourself, or should I ask my aunt to reason with you?"

"You..." Youshi was so angry that she was stunned, but thinking about what she had been taught by the princess before, the hardness in her heart broke down again and again.

In the end, she took the first step to avoid meeting Xi Zhen's gaze: "I made a slip of the tongue for a moment, but that's not what I meant. Miss Biao, please don't be offended."

"If you say that, it will be easier for us all." Xi Zhen nodded with satisfaction, looked at You Zexu and said, "I know you don't like anyone in the main courtyard, and I came with him today because I want to be straightforward. Let me make it clear to you—you can’t control this matter, and it doesn’t matter who you don’t like. I will marry into his house in the future, and I will be the head of the house. You can’t intervene, but you can intervene. You don’t even make sense of it.”

"Xizhen..." You Zexu was also a little surprised that she would say this directly. He took a light breath and thought about it, but nodded and said, "Yes, please understand this point. If you and your family insist on getting in the way so that we can't have a good time However, I will ask for orders to go to a place farther away on business, if you don’t believe me, try it.”

Speaking of this step, it is difficult to whitewash the peace, and the ending is naturally unhappy.

Xizhen is also not hypocritical, seeing that the smile on You Shi's face could no longer be maintained, she didn't talk nonsense, she got up, turned around and left.

You Zexu followed with a bow and left together. In the main room, Youshi was dizzy with anger, and felt throbbing pains in his temples.

"Miss..." Shanzhi stepped forward cautiously, Youshi frowned and waved his hands, and went straight into the room with an impatient expression on his face. When he looked up and saw Ah Li, he stepped forward and hugged him: "A Li..."

"Mother concubine?" Ah Li turned to look at her, Youshi was still a little confused: "A Li, your cousin...is angry at home and refuses to go home, go and persuade him, okay?"

"Angry at home? You mean You's family?" Seeing her nodding, Ah Li became angry, "Then he won't come back if he doesn't come back! They didn't treat him well, and his grandfather beat him really hard. The third and fourth younger brothers were scared to tears last time, and I didn't want him to go back then!"

"A Li, you..." Youshi was stunned, he didn't expect Ah Li to say such words.

She frowned and said, "That's your grandfather's house, your cousin's real home!"

"But his family is not as good to him as his aunt and concubine!" Ah Li argued, and then comforted his mother and said, "Don't worry, the aunt and concubine will definitely not treat him badly, and the third and fourth younger brothers are also the same. I like my cousin... I heard that Ming Jing also likes it!"

"You..." Youshi became more and more surprised as he listened, "You already knew that your cousin came to the manor for the New Year?"

"I know." Ah Li looked at him puzzled, "Don't you know?"

Youshi choked, and his heart sank more and more.

"I...I know." She insisted, and then murmured in a daze, "How could I not know...Of course I know."

In the main courtyard, after they came back, Yuyin felt that Concubine You was really... not so clear-headed when Xizhen told her what happened there.

What Xizhen said was exactly what she thought: "What do you think this is? They were the ones who drove him away, and they are the ones who are going to send him back now. For such a hurtful thing, just close your eyes and treat it as nothing." I don’t know? Isn’t this a pawn... Then what, do you want to set up a memorial archway?”

Xizhen was visibly furious, a lady from a big family, almost bursting out with dirty words.

"Okay, okay." Yu Yin coaxed her, and tapped her forehead, "You, next time, be careful, if you want me to go to the concubine, don't give her the steps to take her back."

"You can suppress her even if I gave you the steps..." Xizhen curled her lips, "She is too bullying, and even said that You Zexu turned her elbows outward, as if she had been wronged for no reason. What are you doing!"

Hey, You Zexu doesn't have an elbow to turn outwards, so you don't turn your elbows when you are thinking about your husband?

Yuyin teased secretly, and then reasoned with Xizhen, telling her why she passed the steps, so she could no longer help them to gain authority.

"It's okay in normal times, but now, if you want to enter You's house, your prestige is more important than your aunt's prestige." Yu Yin took her by the hand and said, "Think about it, you have revealed clearly As long as Concubine You takes back her words, my aunt won't bother her, does it seem that you are useful in talking in the main courtyard? But my aunt still went to find her, does it seem that you are useful?"

That is to slap Xizhen on the face in a different way, which is not acceptable.

But Xizhen said: "What does it matter? She is in the palace, and I really married You Zexu, so she has nothing to do with it."

Yu Yin asked her back: "She is in the palace, but is she isolated from the world?"

Xi Zhen froze.

What Yuyin was worried about was actually that if this matter got out, it would cause trouble for her future in-laws to treat Xizhen badly.

In fact, generally speaking, it shouldn't be. She went to suppress Youshi at this time, obviously to support Xizhen.But as far as the You family's behavior is concerned...

She carefully thought about it according to the You family's logic, and felt that they might interpret it as that she didn't care about the face of this niece, and only cared about venting her anger, and then gave them a reason to look down on Xizhen—although she would She can protect Xizhen again, but will this cause trouble for Xizhen for no reason?

So Yuyin pondered, on the one hand, this prestige cannot be established for the time being, on the other hand, it is necessary to mention some future "in-laws".

So that night, she told Meng Junhuai about this idea, and then said that she wanted to invite You Zexu's mother to the mansion.

After hearing this, Meng Junhuai laughed and slumped on the pillow for a long time, ignoring her, laughing so hard that he couldn't help himself: "What are you laughing at? This is business!"

"Hahahahaha!" He continued to laugh for a while, "You really... have no limit to worrying about your children! Why do you force you to think like them? It's not easy!"

"You hate...!" Yu Yin beat him with a fist and glared angrily, "I just thought about it myself, and I didn't say that I must be right. You can say if this is okay, I will invite his parents in now See, is it appropriate?"

"It's suitable." Meng Junhuai was still smiling, "It's just Chinese New Year, so there's nothing wrong with please come in and sit down. The two families will meet and decide on the marriage, so you don't have to worry about the future."

"Worries about the future?" She felt for a moment that he was referring to something else.

And his next sentence was: "I still have to tell your brother to find a husband for Xi Yao."

"What's wrong?" Yu Yin frowned.He took her hand and shook it, with a deep expression on his face: "Recently, several elder brothers have suddenly started looking for relatives for their own children... The timing is too coincidental, and the coincidence is not normal. I am worried that it is caused by rumors of choosing another prince. If so, they will marry the Xie family first, and your Xie family will have a hard time in the future."

"Ah?!" Yuyin became tense for a moment, he sighed, and said, "I'm still thinking, should we avoid living in another garden, let's talk about it after this limelight."

Yu Yin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and hesitated, "So serious? In this dynasty, it is customary that 'the father dies, the son succeeds, the brother dies and the younger brother'... The eldest son of the emperor can't be established, so he should be the second elder brother Pingjun Wang?"

Meng Junhuai shook his head: "The second brother is the longest but his mother's family background is low, and the fourth brother is born of the queen mother. Besides the others, the third brother was born of the imperial concubine... the tenth brother was also born of the empress dowager and was born in front of the emperor. Let's face it, although he has guarded the imperial mausoleum for the past two years, but if he fights for the position again, no one will praise him."

When he said this, Yu Yin suddenly felt that there was a lot of danger.

She took a breath, then nodded: "Then we should avoid it."

Avoid the place far away, don't praise anyone and don't step on anyone, so as not to follow the wrong person one day, and the new king will take the throne in the future and settle accounts after autumn.

Then she had a thought, and the reluctance hit her in an instant, and she had no choice but to propose: "Send A Zuo to the palace."

"What?" Meng Junhuai frowned and looked at her, Yu Yin bit her lips, and said calmly, "You can't just think about avoiding others, the emperor must be the most nervous when this happens. We have to let him know that we have no intention of fighting for the position, Never mind..."

She spoke calmly, and tears rolled down her face as she spoke, and she no longer fell into his arms calmly: "How can such a big thing come right away! Ah Zuo..."

She knew that her proposal was right, but she really couldn't bear it!Who knows how long this avoidance will take?Three to five months is okay, if it is a year or two, Ah Zuo must blame them in his heart!
