The little lady in the palace

Chapter 16 On the Tao

Chapter 16 On the Tao
Yu Yin also asked He Jing: "What's going on?"

He Jing's eyes were still red, looking at the piece of paper she was holding in her hand, she lowered her head and explained: "I asked Ningzhi to take it, and she didn't want it."

Yu Yin and Meng Junhuai looked at each other, and seeing that he still didn't understand, she knelt down and asked, "You tell my concubine clearly, what do you mean by writing this line? Why are you not allowed to be handed over to Su Fengyi? Who wants to hand you over to Su Fengyi?"

He Jing just pretended not to hear her father's question.Seeing that Xie Yuyin was also asking questions on this level, He Jing panicked all of a sudden.

She turned her head to look at her father and then turned back, only promising to say, "I won't."

King Yijun frowned, and silently gave Yang Enlu a wink, Yang Enlu dragged Ning Zhi out without saying a word.He Jing turned her head to look, realized that she was about to chase after her immediately: "Ningzhi!"

"He Jing." Meng Junhuai took a step to block her, squatted down and said with a serious look, "We must ask about this matter. If you don't tell me, we can only ask Ning Zhi."

Yu Yin looked at He Jing, whose eyes had been red all the time, and finally couldn't help shedding tears after he said the last sentence.She immediately wanted to stop her, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Meng Junhuai raised her hand to signal her not to speak.

Meng Junhuai continued: "However, father, mother and concubine's question to you is different from Yang Gonggong's question to Ning Zhi. We ask you, but if you refuse to tell us, we can't do anything to you, because you are our daughter; but if Ning Zhi Don't say..." His voice sank a bit, "He Jing, you understand these things."

In Meng Junhuai's view, it is not a big deal for He Jing to steal the seal of the princess. Four or five-year-old children may know that stealing is wrong, but it is reasonable for them not to realize how wrong it is. she.

What he cares more about is that He Jing is now hiding from his family with outsiders.I can't get used to this problem even once, and I can't let her be so intimidated.

He Jing looked at her father hesitantly, and asked cautiously: "Then I will tell my father, will my father not blame Ningzhi?"

"Hiss..." Meng Junhuai became angry instantly, his brows twitched, "It was the two of you who were at fault first, how dare you make a request?"

He Jing's eye sockets became hot again, and when another burst of tears welled up, someone hugged her shoulders.

Yu Yin knelt down beside her, weighed it in her heart, nodded and said: "If you tell us what's going on, we won't blame Ning Zhi."

He Jing's eyes lit up immediately, and Meng Junhuai's expression became serious: "Princess!"

"Young, my young and the young of the people." Yu Yin quickly threw his thoughts to him.She felt that it was no big deal to make this promise to He Jing. He Jing was four years old and Ning Zhi was six or seven years old.If there is no punishment, there will be no punishment.

Meng Junhuai was choked by her words, and because she had already made the promise, it was hard to refute it in front of He Jing.

Because of this, Xie Yuyin could clearly feel that Meng Junhuai gave her a hard look, and his next sentence was obviously out of breath: "Well, listen to your mother and concubine."

He Jing cried dumbfoundedly, and was very surprised by this result!
She didn't understand what the concubine mother said later, but no one had dared to say something different from the king's father so bluntly before!This is the second time that the mother concubine has said something that is not in line with the father's wishes when the father is angry with her.

——This mother concubine is indeed very powerful!

So she subconsciously leaned on Xie Yuyin, looked at Meng Junhuai tearfully, and began to speak in a stammering voice.

She said that there was a Su Fengyi who went to her mother Concubine He every day recently and brought her gifts every day.Or toys or snacks, and every time he said that he liked her.

Then about three or four days ago, when Su Fengyi expressed her liking for her again, Concubine He told Su Fengyi that she could ask her to play with Su Fengyi.

He Jing wiped her tears and said, "I don't want to go to Su Fengyi's place! I won't go!"

Yuyin couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it, and scratched her nose: "If you don't go, why don't you go? Just tell your concubine He why? Concubine He just said that Su Fengyi can take you to play, and she didn't force you to go." ah?"

"No! No!" He Jing was a little excited suddenly, looked at Yuyin seriously and said, "I'm going to play now, what if I live there directly in the future? I know, my father doesn't go there often, I live there , I won’t be able to see my father anymore!”

He Jing wanted to hold back her tears while talking, but she couldn't hold back at all. She looked at Meng Junhuai and cried, "Father, please don't miss me! I will miss you!"

"...What did you say?" Meng Junhuai's face was suddenly startled, he stared at He Jing for a while, and couldn't believe it, "Father told you long ago that there were no such things... Are you still thinking wildly?"

The atmosphere had already calmed down a bit, but now it suddenly became tense again, and even the dialogue became difficult for Xie Yuyin to understand.

While stroking He Jing's back to comfort her, she looked at Meng Junhuai puzzled.But Meng Junhuai suddenly stood up and walked out, walking like a breeze!
"Your Highness?!" Yu Yin was startled, and quickly motioned for Shan Shan to follow.This Xiang He Jing was even more frightened, "Wow", burst into tears, wrapped his arms around Yu Yin's neck and shouted: "Father, don't be angry!!!"

"...Father, father is not angry." Yu Yin coaxed a little at a loss, "father is definitely not angry with you, ah, be good."

She forced herself to command: "Shu Shan, go and ask Ning Zhi to come back to accompany the eldest lady, I will go and see Your Highness."

After she finished speaking, she patted He Jing on the back again, carried her to the side of the couch, and then went out without looking back.

In fact, she felt that it was very wrong for her to do this - because most of the time she wanted to escape and avoid troubles, but she couldn't do anything else for a while!She really doesn't know how to coax He Jing in the future!
As soon as he stepped out of the main room, the jade pin stopped.

Meng Junhuai didn't go far, just stood by the courtyard wall a few feet away, with his hands resting on the wall and his forehead resting on his hands, thinking of something.

Yu Yin stood by the door of the main room in a daze, walked over and was in a daze behind him, and then hesitated to speak: "Your Highness?"

She saw Meng Junhuai's shoulders tighten a little, and then loosen with a heavy exhalation.

Then he turned around with a gloomy expression: "The princess rests first, I'll take He Jing to the front, I have something to explain to her clearly."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the main room, Yu Yin immediately stopped him: "Your Highness!"

She looked at his expression: "Can I ask His Highness what you want to tell her? Or...Your Highness, tell me what I don't know about it?"

Meng Junhuai quickly shook his head: "The old things have nothing to do with you."

Yuyin suddenly felt very upset, and for no reason, she thought of the sentence he said to her that night, "I like you to be kind, and if you think I'm wrong, tell me straight up, like a concubine".

These two things are actually unrelated, but she just compares them now.Then she knew very clearly that she liked hearing what he said, and didn't like him like this now!
Seeing him sigh and walk forward again, she frowned and chased after him, and stopped him again: "What do you mean has nothing to do with me? Your Highness, you are wrong!"

Meng Junhuai looked up, his eyes trembled.

She always looks ascetic, and these eyes especially make him at a loss. He has been in a bad mood several times, but he can't get angry when he sees her eyes.

But right now, there is obvious annoyance in her eyes?
He looked at her intently, and at the same time calmed down: "Then you say."

"I... I am the main concubine of the mansion, and the emperor decreed the marriage." She first emphasized her identity.

Meng Junhuai let out a "hmm".

Yu Yin's words sounded both angry and calm as usual: "So now I am His Highness's wife and He Jing's aunt. If His Highness can take care of half of the affairs of the house, I can take care of the other half."

Meng Junhuai frowned and felt unhappy, but there was really nothing to refute in her words.

"So, even if the matter in the mansion is old, His Highness should tell me, let me figure it out, and help His Highness deal with it, instead of deliberately bypassing me and making me continue to be in a fog and unable to help." She pursed her lips, returning to the sincere and serious look he was already familiar with, "I married Your Highness, and Your Highness married me, it's because of fate. Your Highness is trying to avoid it, it's because of 'I'm attached to', 'I'm attached to you' ’ is the source of all suffering.”

Tsk, how can you talk about Buddhism even if you disagree?
He smiled angrily, and glanced at her face: "I don't want to say it, but if you insist on me saying it, it's not 'ego'? If you really follow the fate, it should be like the phrase 'the best is like water'."

"..." Yu Yinmu cut the wood, "'The highest goodness is like water, water benefits all things without fighting', it is said in "Lao Tzu", I know this."

Meng Junhuai nodded: "Yes."

Yu Yin was a little stiff: "But..."

He stared at her: "Huh?"

She avoided his gaze: "But Lao Tzu Li Er, he belongs to the Taoist school!"

Meng Junhuai: "..."

He was really angry for a moment, and he didn't know whether it was because of his confused timidity or Xie Yuyin's "stubborn" discussion of these things with him.

After holding back for a while, he walked around her and continued on: "I won't argue with you about this."

As soon as he was like this, Xie Yuyin didn't know what to do.Seeing him enter the room, she had no choice but to go in first, still thinking about it, if he got angry with He Jing after a while, how would she persuade him to fight?

When Meng Junhuai walked into the bedroom, He Jing and Ning Zhi were lying on the bed together, wiping each other's tears.Seeing them coming back, they both jumped out of bed at the same time.

"He Jing." Meng Junhuai stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hug He Jing, holding him up to the height of his eyes, "You didn't do this right today, but your handwriting is very good, better than before. Much better looking."

He Jing looked at him dumbfounded.

"Look at you working so hard, how come your father doesn't see you? From now on, your father will take you to practice calligraphy, and you will go to the study to find your father after breakfast, okay?"

He Jing hesitated and nodded: "Oh..."

Xie Yuyin heaved a sigh of relief, and he glanced over suddenly, as if he still had some lingering resentment, and his voice was calm: "Then... at noon, my father will bring you to the main courtyard for dinner, with you Mother and concubine eat together."

……ah? !
Xie Yuyin was startled by this sudden arrangement.She looked over, Meng Junhuai put down He Jing and was also looking at her.The two looked at each other for a while, and she seemed to clearly find a few hints of "settling accounts after autumn" clearly from the bottom of his eyes.
