The little lady in the palace

Chapter 153 August
Knowing that Lan Jing's mind was still heavy, Yu Yin had no choice but to try harder to break her back.

Days go by day by day, although Meng Junhuai is in Qingyuan, Jinyiwei cannot let go of his errands, he is busy most of the time, Yuyin calls the children to his yard every now and then, let them study and play together .

After a closer look, Lan Jing is indeed a bit alone in many cases.Ah Li obviously dislikes her, and Ah Qi likes to follow Ah Li, so Ah Li doesn't like Li Lan Jing, and he naturally ignores her; He Jing obviously wants to be more patient many times, but often can't bear it.Ming Jing, a little girl who is still in the stage of being silly and happy every day, doesn't have much to say, but Ayou seems to have the best relationship with Lan Jing at the moment.

Yu Yin wanted to know the reason, so she asked Ah You: "Do you like Second Sister?"

Ah You replied that she liked it, and she asked why, Ah You gave her the answer: "Because the second sister is the most let me!"

Yu Yin followed his words and thought about it, and it was true.

In fact, not only to Ah You, but also to her brothers and sisters, Lan Jing has almost reached the point of "responsiveness". Although He Jing and Ah Li don't like her very much, if they ask her for help when playing together, she will definitely say nothing Do your best; Occasionally, when you have a dispute, or say something to Jing Ali, she is definitely the one to make amends immediately.

Is this because Lan Jing has a good heart?Yu Yin thinks so, but not necessarily.

The main reason is probably that the He family had instilled too much dignity in her two years earlier, which made her feel that she was a head lower than the children in the main courtyard, and lower than the two concubine boys, A Li and A Qi. Keep your head down, so you dare not mess with them.

Yuyin told Ah You: "Second sister let you, but you can't bully her, she is your sister, you have to protect her, understand?"

Ayou nodded heavily: "I know, the eldest sister also told me that if something happens, I will protect the second sister!"

Thinking about He Jing and Lan Jing is also a bit embarrassing.

Yuyin remembered that when she first entered the mansion, He Jing was five years old, and Lan Jing was still held in her arms.At that time, the two sisters were raised by Concubine He, and He Jing could protect Lan Jing. When Lan Jing was sick in Qingyuan, she must come and watch with her, for fear that something might happen to her little sister.

Now, seven years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the sisters seem to have drifted apart unconsciously.It's hard to say who is alienated from the other, but He Jing follows her, and his temper is naturally like her, while Lan Jing and He Choufei are carved out of the same mold, and it is almost inevitable that they will not get along.

Yuyin told He Jing in private, telling her that it was not her sister's fault that she looked like this, and asked her to take more care of her.

He Jing nodded after listening, and sighed: "I know I should take care of her, but sometimes I just can't hold back my anger. I'm afraid of her appearance when I calm down and think about it... If it wasn't for the mother concubine, you want me to come here , I may be the same now..."

Isn't it?At the beginning, He Jing was a bit like the current Lan Jing, who respected and feared Meng Junhuai, and what worried her most was that her father would not like her.

Thinking about it this way, Yuyin regretted that she didn't bring Lan Jing with her, and was also glad that she had brought He Jing over.Otherwise, the two lords in the royal mansion looked so frightened, she would be killed as a aunt!
In the blink of an eye, it's August, and Azuo, Ayou and Lan Jing are both born this month. Ayou has been thinking since the beginning of the month that it would be great if his brother could come back from the palace on his birthday. A few days later, Yuyin saw his eyes sparkling Looking at her intently, he was about to cover his mouth with his hand.

"Okay, concubine mother knows that you miss your brother, concubine mother also misses you! Concubine mother will discuss it with your father and king later!" She hastened to promise this, and she was also planning to let A Zuo come back to celebrate his birthday.Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, which is weird.

Ah You pushed his mother's hand away: "I didn't mean to say that!"

He stared at her with his mouth puffed up, obviously dissatisfied with her behavior just now, and then said: "Second sister just told me something, saying that she didn't know if she could tell mother concubine. I thought it was nothing, so Let me tell you directly!"

"What's the matter?" Yu Yin asked him, and Ah You said, "Second sister said... this time she wants to come to live with you earlier this time. She seems to have something important to discuss with you? But it's not yet ten days, so she doesn't Dare to mention it."

This Lan Jing...

It's all from her own family, it's an exaggeration for her to be so cautious.In fact, what if she directly raised this request openly?If it's inconvenient for her, at most she just refuses to agree. Could it be that she has to be scolded for this?
Yuyin hurriedly sent a message to Mrs. Qiao, telling Lan Jing to come over tonight.

When Lan Jing came over at night, Yu Yin had just come out of the shower, her hair was wet.When he entered the room and saw Lan Jing politely bowing to her, he sneered: "You eat supper first, and talk slowly if you have something to do, the concubine mother wiped her hair."

Then she sat in front of the dressing table, and her own maid took a clean handkerchief to help her twist and comb her hair, so she read a few posts that she hadn't read during the day.After Lan Jing ate two small wontons, she raised her eyes and quietly stepped forward, hesitantly beckoning Shan Shan to give her the comb.

"...?" Coral understood, and passed the comb over without saying a word.Lan Jing combed Yuyin's hair nervously, her thoughts seemed to go through a thousand times in her mind in an instant, and she accidentally combed it to a place that was not smooth enough, and she didn't have time to stop, Yuyin let out a "hiss" when she was pulled , looked up from the mirror and saw the little girl behind her looking flustered.

"Mother Concubine..." Lan Jing shook her hand and dropped the comb.As a result, she panicked even more, feeling so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do, Yu Yin hurriedly turned around and pulled her hand: "It's okay, it's okay."

Then she bent down to pick up the comb by herself, and didn't want to ask someone to comb it again. She dragged Lan Jing to sit on the edge of the couch, and asked her: "Why did you suddenly think of this? If you need me to help you just tell me, I can answer you." Yes, the mother concubine will naturally answer to you."

Lan Jing sat beside her and hesitated for a while, then said hesitantly, "Well... I just want to tell you something, I don't mean to urge you, so don't mention it to your father, okay?"

Um?Why not mention it to Meng Junhuai?What's up?

Lan Jing bit her lips under her gaze, lowered her eyes and kept peeking at her expression: "Mother Concubine, I... I am eight years old this year. When my sister was eight years old, the house was already busy. Help her find her husband's family, my business..."

...?She is in a hurry?
Yu Yin was a little surprised, and said to her calmly: "You don't have to worry about this, the father, queen, mother and concubine have not forgotten about it. Do you have someone you like? If you have one, you can also tell us!"

For a moment, she really wondered if Lan Jing had a spring heart... Although it is a bit early to count the spring heart at the age of eight, but if she didn't start the spring heart, how could she think of urging this?

Yu Yin remembers the situation when she picked up He Jing's husband's house at that time, He Jing was not happy to hear this at the time, and when he went back to see Xie Sheng, he shrank behind her and refused to come out!
But Lan Jing shook her head again and said no, it doesn't look like a fake.Yu Yin was worried and had to ask her if she had any concerns?After asking several times, Lan Jing said hesitantly: "It's my mother and concubine who said that... she is afraid that I will marry a bad family. She said that I am not as good as my sister, and my father may not care who my husband's family is. Let me take care of myself."

--What is this nonsense?

Yuyin was angry at the time, but she couldn't get angry in front of a child like Lan Jing, so she could only coax Lan Jing and go to bed as usual, and killed Meng Junhuai early the next morning!
Meng Junhuai didn't go to bed until late at night when he was dealing with desk affairs. When he got up in the morning, he was in a daze, but was woken up by her anger.

"He Shi, is she still finished?!" Yu Yin was so angry that he lost his composure and slapped the table to get angry, "What did she teach Lan Jing? What do you mean you might not care who her husband's family is?" ? Can we send Lan Jing to the fire pit?!"

Meng Junhuai was also furious when he heard this, but seeing how angry she was, he had to coax her first: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'll take care of Lan Jing, don't worry about it."

"..." Yu Yin's anger sank and he hurried to take the job, "Forget it, I'll come. You're already so busy, so don't be distracted."

"I'll come." He insisted, but Yuyin also insisted: "I'll come. If you have time... think about how to celebrate A Zuo's birthday. We can't get him back, but we can't make him feel that we have forgotten killed him!"

The two of them divided the work in this way, and after Meng Junhuai agreed, Yuyin asked him for a brochure for Lan Jing's husband's house.

All the boys in the booklet are of the right age, and the height of the lintels is slightly different, but they are not bad.Of course, even though they are the palace, these people are not directly selected by them on their own initiative, they have asked each family in advance, and the other party nodded and agreed before writing it.

Yu Yin spent a whole day carefully studying all the families and candidates in the brochure, and then copied a few names and handed them to Zhao Chengrui: "Go back to Beijing and send a note to the young masters of these families. Just say we Master Er Weng is about to celebrate his birthday, so we invite them to come and congratulate him."

Then she invited Mammy Rui and said: "You go to the mansion yourself and tell the side concubine that the prince and I are thinking about choosing Lan Jing's husband's house. She is the biological mother, so please come and make up your mind."

"Yes." Nanny Rui bowed her body, and carefully asked her pointedly, "Wangfei, do you really want the side concubine to make up her mind, or..."

"Oh, I really want her to take it, but she has to dare!" Yu Yin felt a little annoyed after thinking about it, chuckled lightly, and shook her head, "I want her to be sensible and look at Lan Jing can't get up."

"Yes, the servant understands, even if the side concubine wants to avoid trouble, the servant will definitely invite her here."

Yu Yin nodded, thought again, and said, "Let's see if we have another house available in Beijing. After this matter is over, let Concubine He go out and live."

Nanny Rui was obviously surprised, but Yuyin pretended not to see it.

It is absolutely impossible to continue to let He Shi and Lan Jing talk about these things.Since they were in the same mansion, she couldn't keep her mouth shut, so they could only be separated completely.

Is it cruel to separate mother and daughter?About yes.

But it would be cruel not to.

"You take the trouble to choose a comfortable place for her, and the servants have prepared it for her. I didn't let her go out to show her face."

As Yuyin spoke, he sighed wearily, heard the sound of the bead curtain and looked up, only to see Zhao Chengrui, who had just been ordered to deliver the post, hastily returned.

"What's the matter?" She frowned, Zhao Chengrui smiled and hurriedly bowed: "Princess, His Royal Highness is back."

"Ah?" Yu Yin was stunned, and Zhao Chengrui said again: "It seems that the people in front of the emperor sent it back in person, saying that His Royal Highness and Er Weng Lord are both born this month, so let him hurry back to celebrate their birthdays. There is no need to send them back later. , saying that it is better for children of this age to follow their parents."

...What is the meaning of these words?Yuyin knew there must be, but before she could think it through clearly, A Zuo interrupted her thoughts.

"Mother Concubine!" A Zuo flew in to catch her, and shouted happily, "Mother Concubine, I miss you so much! Uncle Huang said, you are not allowed to send me into the palace again, and... and I have already been there obediently for a while. Time! So you still have to give me the guard you promised!"
