The little lady in the palace

Chapter 151 Summon
After a lively and lively year, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, everything from the palace to the city seemed quieter.

In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor came back from the early court and just took his seat when the eunuch beside him reported that Prince Yi's son had arrived.

"Prince Yi's son?" The emperor was stunned, and the eunuch replied: "Yes. It is said that everyone in the mansion is going to live in another garden for a while, and let His Highness come down to the palace to accompany the princess. Prince Yi asked him to come to the emperor first. Say hello, and the servants will bring it over."

There's clearly something going on here.

There are many things for children from various prefectures to come to the palace to accompany their elders, so there is no need to come to Qianqing Palace to say hello.What's more, if they catch up with him when they come, they are too busy to see him, and no matter how long they wait outside, they can only let him go back. This is fine for older children, but how tiring is it for children?Therefore, at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, when all the younger brothers were still a little apprehensive and worried about things, he took care of this in advance and told them that no one was inferior to the younger generation, and he let them enter the palace to see Anyone can just watch whoever goes, and just leave the palace directly after finishing the work, there is no need to kowtow to him.

So Sixth Brother, what does this mean?
The emperor pondered for a while, and ordered: "Please come in, I will ask him."

The eunuch went out of the palace gate, and led the people back after a while.A Zuo looked up, and was about to salute according to the rules, the emperor waved: "A Zuo, don't be too polite, come here and let Uncle Huang have a look."

A Zuo walked over obediently, the emperor hugged him and put him on his lap, and asked, "What did your father say?"

"Father said that I should come to greet Uncle Huang." A Zuo said.

The emperor asked again: "What about after that? Do you want to live with Concubine Ding? Your family has gone to Bieyuan, don't you want to go together?"

As soon as this question came out, Ah Zuo's eyes turned red.

"I want to go..." he said tearfully, "but my concubine said that I am the eldest son, and there are some things that only I can do, and no one else can do them. So now I have to stay in the palace and accompany grandma well..."

Ah Zuo felt aggrieved when he thought about his family members leaving, and then comforted himself that it was not a loss.

The concubine mother said that he would do this well obediently, and arrange guards for him when he returned to the mansion!The father also nodded in agreement!

How good does that feel?Then he will have his own men, and he can go out to play and hunt at any time!And with the guards around, it feels much better than the eunuch nurse or something...

The emperor wiped away his tears: "Don't cry, Uncle Huang will take you to play with big brother."

"Okay!" A Zuo, who was thinking about going out hunting with the guards, his eyes became brighter when he heard the word "big brother", he rubbed off the emperor's lap, and ran to the side hall where the eldest son of the emperor lived.

In the side hall, the eldest son of the emperor was sitting cross-legged at the couch table and writing something. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a child throwing himself on the couch, looked up and smiled: "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to say hello to Uncle Huang. Uncle Huang asked me to come and play with my eldest brother!" A Zuo said as he climbed onto the couch, and the eldest son of the emperor handed him a plate of crispy candies: "Eat first, brother will accompany you after finishing writing." you play."

After finishing speaking, the eldest son of the emperor picked up his pen again, but before he could finish writing, he saw his father came in.

"Royal father." He moved in to make room for his father. The emperor sat on the side of the couch, looked at A Zuo, and said to him, "Your Sixth Uncle's family has gone to another garden, so let him live in the palace alone for a while." , why don’t you come to Qianqing Palace to say hello, what do you think?”

The eldest son's smile faltered, and then he sighed: "Sixth Uncle was shocked."

For the time being, they did not openly and honestly mention the establishment of the reserve in the court, but let out some looming rumors first, which was the result of the discussion between their father and son.They want to see what kind of disturbance this matter will cause when it gets out, who will fight openly, who wants to fight secretly, who is eager for quick success, and who is going around.

There are quite a lot of various trends that have been heard in recent days, each government has its own response, and they all pay attention to it.

"Come here, Ah Zuo." The emperor waved his hand to embrace Ah Zuo, who leaned on him, and he smiled, "Go and accompany your grandma, and you can come to Uncle Huang anytime you need something, okay?"

"Okay!" A Zuo nodded heavily, and asked again, "Then can I come and play with big brother often?"

Ah You was also there when he was staying with the concubine last time, but this time Ah You didn't come... How boring he is by himself!

"Okay, I will take you to Jingshan for a walk some other day." The eldest son of the emperor said and looked at his father, "There just happened to be a new horse brought in in the palace, and I asked someone to pick one for him? I heard that the horses this time are very Well, it has first-class feet and a beautiful coat color."

"..." The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "I don't intend to keep him for a long time. You let him have a good time in the palace, do you still plan to send him back?"

The eldest son of the emperor twitched his mouth: "You have never mentioned it as a son-in-law."

Ah Zuo, who was excited at the side, lost his face: The horse in front of him... flew?
Prince Liang's Mansion.

Prince Lu, who was eleventh, came in and teased his seventh brother: "Brother, have you heard? Our sixth brother can run faster than a rabbit! This year is just over, and I threw my son into the palace. Now It is estimated that the person has already arrived at the Bieyuan!"

Prince Liang sipped his tea without making a sound for a long time, and sighed after putting down the cup: "I really regret not running away together..."

"Pfft." Prince Lu snorted, "Why? Don't you think his reaction is too big? Isn't this the brother of the emperor?"

"It doesn't necessarily mean that you should respond to the emperor's brother. He has already reaped the benefits." Prince Liang shook his head, "Haven't you heard? Sixth brother and his family left before dawn today. I guess the second brother and the third All the people in the fourth brother's mansion who sent the post in the past were all in vain."

"Ah?!" Prince Lu's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he held his forehead for a long while, "Hey——I can't usually tell, but this accident, he is better than a monkey?"

"Okay, you!" Prince Liang frowned, "It's a rabbit and a monkey, can you show some respect to our sixth brother?"

Prince Lu patted his thigh: "I'm aggrieved that I didn't run away! Is it okay to be jealous of him? Why don't you let me say a few words?"

"That's right, tell me." Prince Liang glanced at him, complaining in his heart, and wanted to scold Sixth Brother to vent his anger.

In Qingyuan on the outskirts of the capital, Meng Junhuai wiped off his cold sweat when he got off his horse and heard Yang Enlu report that his second brother, third brother, and fourth brother sent posts to the house after they left the mansion.

What a surprise!
He originally didn't plan to go out so early, thinking that he would be able to go to Qingyuan today. It was Yuyin who mentioned that the first five days were when each family visited relatives and friends. As soon as the matter can be mentioned, then maybe someone will want to rush to the door early in the morning to lobby.

She said that if there was such a possibility, and since she had to go to Qingyuan anyway, why not simply go out earlier and avoid everything that can be avoided?
Fortunately he listened.Otherwise, as soon as the two, three, four, three elder brothers received the posts in his hand, he would be in a dilemma, and he would be embarrassed no matter what.

Yuyin also heard about the affairs in the mansion at the same time, and when she got off the carriage, she laughed when she saw him wiping cold sweat, and took his hand proudly: "How is it? Am I right?"

"Really." Meng Junhuai gasped, walked in with her hand, and told her, "It's been bumpy for a long time. If you are tired, see Mrs. You later. Lan Jing, I will ask you in two days." Let's go to the mansion, let her come when she is well, don't worry if she is not well."

After Lan Jing came back from the palace on New Year's Eve, she caught the wind and cold. In the past two days, she always had some fever intermittently. Meng Junhuai let her stay in the mansion for now—it's a good thing that Lan Jing is still young, and no one else wants to knock her away. The door of the Prince's Mansion can't use her as an excuse.If it is He Jing, it may not be possible. A girl of He Jing's age is likely to be able to take care of some things at home. When others want to lobby their parents to find someone, they will ask her to pass the word.

After resting for two days, Yuyin sent a message to You's Mansion, and invited You Zexu's mother to come to Qingyuan for a brief talk.Xizhen was a little nervous when she heard about it, and was teased by He Jingyi, and she forced herself to say: "I'm not afraid...! Anyway, I haven't married yet, and the engagement has not been finalized. If she really doesn't like me, I will take it from now on." Nothing like this happened!"

But when she said this, You Zexu became uneasy: "Xizhen..."

"Okay, okay." Yuyin held back a smile and greeted You Zexu, "Don't panic, seeing that you are so sensible, your parents are not people who can't figure it out. Xizhen, don't scare him, don't rely on him Always play tricks on him when he treats you well."

Xizhen blushed when Yuyin raised her face, she didn't put on airs, and tugged at You Zexu's sleeve: "Don't be angry, I'll just say it casually..."

"I know." He breathed a sigh of relief, and said frankly to Yuyin, "Princess, what happened in my family earlier has nothing to do with my parents. I know you protect us, but please don't mention it in front of them." After that, they feel uncomfortable."

"Okay, I see." Yu Yin responded.When Mrs. You arrived in the afternoon, she pretended not to mention the troublesome past, invited someone to sit down kindly, and sent someone to invite Xizhen and You Zexu to come over.

Mrs. You looked a little uneasy, and the teacup on the saucer couldn't help shaking slightly while drinking tea.She was immediately embarrassed, put it down quickly, and lowered her head and said: "I have never entered the palace before, the disrespect... Wangfei forgive me."

"It's okay, ma'am, relax, I don't have so many rules here." Yu Yin smiled and looked at her.She calculated in her heart that Mrs. You was older than her, but now she was at most 35-[-], but she looked like a woman who was over forty, and she was probably worried about You Zexu's recent situation.She was waiting for others to praise You Zexu a few words to reassure Mrs. You, and Mrs. You's complexion improved, and she said gratefully: "Please worry about it, our family has caused you trouble."

After chatting a few more words, You Zexu and Xi Zhen entered the room together.

The two introduced Li to Chaoyu, and Xizhen greeted Mrs. You again. Before she could say hello, she was dragged by Mrs. You: "Is this Miss Xie's family?"

"...Yes." Xizhen lowered her head, took a peek at Yuyin's expression, and then said, "Madam, please call me Xizhen. The elders in the family call me that, and so does Young Master You."

So far it's pretty normal.After the few people sat down, they chatted about family affairs, and their words were unavoidably polite.Then they had dinner together. After dinner, Yu Yin asked Xizhen to go for a walk with the mother and son to digest food, intending to make them more familiar.

But within half a moment, she saw You Zexu coming back alone.

"Zexu?" Yu Yin called him into the room, frowning and asked him, "What's the matter? Why did you come back first, where is your mother?"

"They... have to tell me to come back first!" You Zexu was a little annoyed, "What do you call this? My mother said that she wanted to tell Xizhen privately about some family matters, and she insisted on letting me listen—my mother and Xizhen? Family affairs ?”

At that time, Yuyin sneered, but she was still a little worried about what Mrs. You was going to say—it was possible to keep her daughter-in-law behind in private, and to talk about her own things when she closed her eyes, but she sent her son away to stand up to her daughter-in-law. Also a possibility.

After Mrs. You left Qingyuan, she called Xizhen to ask Mrs. You what she said. Xizhen blushed and whispered in her ear: "She said that after I got married, I must not let You Zexu I have my own salary... because Jin Yiwei's errands are always running around, I am afraid that he has spare money in his hand, and I will not be able to bear it... Go to places that shouldn't be!"

"Pfft." Yu Yin laughed out loud, and was a little surprised, "She really told you this?"

"That's right!" Xi Zhen nodded, "I told her not to worry, if You Zexu really knows how to spend time and drink, I won't stop you, and then it's just a matter of breaking up, after all, twisted melons are not sweet! "

...Say this to your future mother-in-law?Girl, you are very brave!
Yu Yin asked unexpectedly and curiously: "Then what did she say?"

"She said... If you can't get together so you get divorced, then no one is right. But if You Zexu is sorry for me, she will break his leg!"

Yu Yin: "..."

This Mrs. You is also good enough. She and her daughter-in-law have just met and planned how to treat their son?

Then she remembered that her own mother seemed to have the same way...?
She remembered the year when her sister-in-law just got married, when she came home from Hualing Nunnery, she saw her mother reprimanding her brother with a straight face for marrying a wife and only caring about Jin Yiwei, who was always away from home, forcing her brother to swear to God that he was really busy with business and there was absolutely nothing shameful about it. s reason.

She thinks her brother must not be that kind of person?I went to explain to my brother in private, and my mother told her that she knew, but the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been bad.In this way, my brother doesn't have to worry about which side to help if there is a dispute between his mother and his wife, and everything will be happy at home!

——At that time, she half understood and half understood, but in the blink of an eye, she had already reached this level.While Mrs. You was thinking about how to get along well with Xizhen, she was also trying her best to get along well with You Zexu!
God, how time flies!
The more Yu Yin thinks about it, the more she has mixed feelings. After thinking about it for a while, she can't help but think about A Zuo again.

She looked for Meng Junhuai sadly, and she leaned on his shoulder as soon as she entered the room: "I suddenly felt that we shouldn't send Ah Zuo into the palace. We should all bear the difficulties together.”

Meng Junhuai looked at her in a daze for a while, then sighed.

He shook his head: "I think it's right for you to send A Zuo in." He said and handed her a booklet, "Brother Huang summoned the sons of the second brother, third brother, and fourth brother into the palace."

Yuyin tightened her body!
They took the initiative to send it in, and the emperor issued an order to forcefully summon them...but it had a completely different meaning.
