The little lady in the palace

Chapter 162 Tan Yu
The row of houses on the westernmost side of the front house is where the guards of several children in the palace live.

They are different from the ordinary guards who protect the safety of the palace. The prince specially selected people who are as close to the age of the children as possible, in order to train them to be close friends.Therefore, they live and eat in the mansion on weekdays. If any little master wants to go out, he will call his subordinates to go.Among them, Shizi Shizuo's team is the oldest, and they all entered the palace nearly three years ago, and the rest basically only came in this year, but they all work together and are about the same age, and they still get along well with different qualifications .

At noon, everyone had lunch together as usual.

Because of the order from the main courtyard of the back house, they added two extra meat dishes to their lunch menu. It is said that the princess was afraid that a group of young and strong boys would not be enough to eat if they were hungry. The meat in the extra dishes seemed to be directly from the princess herself. in the example.This is a sympathy, and for this alone, the guards who work with the main courtyard also have a higher status invisibly.

——So at the beginning of the year, there was an incident of giving gift plugs among the guards. Everyone felt that they should curry favor with the people who followed the little masters in the main courtyard, so as to prevent them from being put on small shoes in the future?At that time, some people also accepted this gift, but somehow it reached the ears of the Great Weng Lord, and he rewarded him with a board after he sent it out.

Then the Great Weng Master sent a message from the main courtyard, saying that no matter which courtyard the children who grow up are a family, they will not distinguish between superiors and inferiors, and neither will the people around them.

Since then, everyone has survived safely. If we really say who is taller, it is the few around Shizi—this is not because of the status of Shizi, but because those people have older qualifications and know more!
After the meal, eunuchs came in to clean up the dishes, and most of the guards sat at the table to digest their food.The leading bodyguard next to Shizi was named Shen Jin. He raised his eyes to see the person who had just finished eating and went out quietly, and said to his companions: "I'll go out for a while, you guys rest first."

As he said that, he left the dining room, followed the person in front for a while, and stopped him when he reached a place where no one was around: "Tan Yu."

The person in front obviously froze, turned around and nodded: "Brother Shen."

Shen Jin took two steps forward, sized him up, and asked straight to the point: "I've been watching you for several days, and every day after lunch, you run back to the back house, what are you doing?"

"...It's nothing." Tan Yu said.

Shen Jin did not comment, but only warned: "You'd better not be confused with any girl in the back house. This is the palace of the prince. There is no precedent for such a thing. It's hard to say whether the superiors will nod. Besides, if you It's fine for the other people around you, you Er Weng Master...I'm afraid I can't give you this head."

"I know." Tan Yu lowered his eyes and nodded, earnestly promised, "Brother Shen, don't worry, I know these limits, and I won't cause trouble for the brothers. I always run to the back house recently, because there are other things."

Seeing his sincerity, Shen Jin didn't say anything else, the two said goodbye, and Shen Jin turned around and went back to his residence.Tan Yu was silent for a while, then continued to walk to the back house.

He understood what Shen Jin said.Although the guards of them all received the same treatment after entering the mansion, they were actually very biased when they were selected.The guards selected for the two sons and the two masters of the main courtyard are from better family backgrounds, and the guards for the two masters of the east courtyard are slightly inferior. The real deal came from a poor background.

At that time, they all thought it was just a coincidence, but after staying in the mansion, it didn't take long to understand why there was such a difference - the status of the main courtyard was too stable in this palace.

Among the three children who were not born in the main courtyard, the eldest son, the second son, and the second son, the second master was a bit out of the group, and he didn't seem to dare to tell his elders when something happened. It's no wonder that the commander would secretly Bully her.

But when he first learned about this, Tan Yu only felt that Er Weng Lord was not favored in the mansion, but an incident not long ago made him suddenly feel that Er Weng Lord was quite pitiful.

——This idea is funny.Before he entered the palace as an errand, his family was so poor that he couldn't eat three or two meals of meat for a month. Now he actually thinks that the old man in the palace is "very pitiful".

But no matter how much he laughed at himself, this view has not changed until now.

The incident happened not long ago during the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Qiao Liangdi, who was raising Er Wengzhu, sent someone to send a message to tell them to come over.

Er Wengzhu usually didn't go out very much, they had nothing to do after entering the mansion, comparatively speaking, they were much more leisurely than other guards.Suddenly being called over, the few people were really curious about what they were going to do.

It was only when they arrived at Yanyu Pavilion where they lived that nothing happened, Qiao Liangdi prepared moon cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus wine for them.Er Weng has a dull temper, but is kind-hearted. She brought out the sweet-scented osmanthus wine by herself, and she even poured it for them.

But when a glass of wine was offered to him, the two of them lost their hands, and she let go before he could hold it firmly, and the wine glass fell to the ground and shattered into three pieces.

There was a silence in the main room at that time, but what surprised him was that Er Wengzhu himself was panicked.

He clearly saw that she was suddenly so nervous that she didn't even know where to put her hands, and her eyes were dodging on her nervous pale face, as if she had done something terribly wrong.

So Tan Yu hesitated for a while before saying: "My lord, please forgive me, my lowly position is unintentional..."

After he said this, Er Wengzhu's complexion eased a little.Then he leaned over to pick up the broken porcelain, and she blocked him in a little panic: "Don't scratch your hands... I'll call someone to clean it up later."

Just such a thing made him uncomfortable for several days.No matter how hard he didn't let himself meddle in his own business, he would still think... Er Wengzhu is an 11-year-old girl, four years younger than him, and she is so trembling, it can be seen that she is unhappy.

This made him want to make her happy, so he took the initiative to ask her if she wanted to go for a walk.

Thinking about it now, the two or three times he suggested her to go out for a walk, she actually didn't want to go out.It's just that she was afraid of refusing, so she agreed every time.

After Tan Yu realized this, he didn't dare to ask her rashly if she wanted to go out. Instead, she bought some interesting things for her when she left the house. She also didn't say no often. accept.

In a blink of an eye, he reached the entrance of Yanyu Pavilion, Tan Yu walked into the courtyard, saw Lan Jing in the corridor, and bowed: "My Lord."

"You're here." Lan Jing walked in front of him, depressed as always, but couldn't help but look forward to seeing what he brought today.

"Here." Tan Yu smiled, and made something iron out of his sleeve as if by magic.Lan Jing took a closer look: "Slingshot!"

Then she frowned in embarrassment: "I can't do this."

"Just play casually, find a place where no one is around." Tan Yu handed her the slingshot, took out a cloth bag and handed it over, "These bullets are all made of cork, so it won't hurt to hit someone by mistake." The injury...was caused by the humble job, I will do it after the old master has used it up."

Lan Jing's gaze was still on the slingshot.That slingshot is not very delicate, but it is very well made. The wooden handle is polished smooth and painted with a beautiful red paint. The leather used to hit the projectile looks elastic.

Lan Jing pursed her lips, reached into her sleeve and touched two pieces of silver and stuffed them for him: "I can't always ask for your things for nothing!"

"It's okay, I just received my monthly payment..."

"This is also the monthly bill I just got!" Lan Jing was very stubborn. After forcing the money to him, she hesitated for a while, and then said, "Let's go out to play in the future...it's more interesting."

"Huh?" Tan Yu was taken aback, but she didn't expect that she actually liked going out.Immediately responded, "Okay, I will protect the old master at any time."

On the Lantern Festival, Yuyin heard a shocking news.

She heard that when Lan Jing was going to the Lantern Festival, she used a slingshot to beat the eldest son of Prince Chang's Mansion!

Lan Jing?Take a slingshot?Beat the eldest son of Prince Chang's mansion?

What a strange combination of these parts!To be honest, if the boys in the mansion did it, or Jing Mingjing did it occasionally, she wouldn't be so shocked, but Lan Jing, who has always been very good, did it , let her be dazed for a long time and then asked Zhao Chengrui: "Did you say no?"

Did Lan Jing really hit the prince of Prince Chang's mansion with a slingshot?Didn't the eldest son of Prince Chang's Mansion hit Lan Jing with a slingshot?
Zhao Chengrui bowed his head with a wry smile and said that Xia Nu really didn't say anything against him.Yuyin was dazed for a while, so she had to order Lan Jing to be called.

Lan Jing was frightened and cried when this happened. She didn't intend to hurt anyone, but when the carriage passed by a tree, she saw an unknown fruit on it, so she wanted to knock one down to see what it was.Unexpectedly, there happened to be another carriage passing by, and the one in the carriage was Prince Chang's son.

There was a scream when the bullet hit the car, and when someone got down, she saw... that cousin's forehead was blue.

Tan Yu told her that it was his fault, but how could she think it was his fault?He just gave her the slingshot, and he also told her to find a place where no one was around.

Lan Jing struggled again and again, but still felt that the blame could not be passed on to Tan Yu, so she went to the main courtyard alone, and when she entered the main room and saw Yu Yin, her heart tightened for a while, she bowed her head and knelt down: "Mother Concubine..."

"Get up." Yu Yin left her seat to help her, and felt that she was afraid, so he simply took her to him and said softly, "Come on, tell me what's going on?"

"I didn't do it on purpose..." Lan Jing lowered her head, and told the whole story of how she hurt Prince Chang's son, then looked at Yu Yin and said, "It's my fault. It doesn't matter who you are! Concubine Mu, just punish me!"

Hey, why did this kid suddenly...be courageous?Do you still know the servants around you?

Yuyin was relieved for a while, and after saying a few words to Lan Jing, she told her that tomorrow she had to go to Prince Chang's mansion together to make amends.Lan Jing breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated and obediently handed over the slingshot to her, promising that she would never play with this kind of thing again!

After going to bed at night, Yuyin naturally wanted to talk about this with Meng Junhuai, she became happy while talking, turned over excitedly, and told him while lying there patting the pillow.

Meng Junhuai wanted to laugh when he saw it, and pressed her hand: "Do you look like a child who has done something wrong?"

"Lan Jing's sex change, I'm so happy!" Yu Yin tilted her chest to his chest, and sighed, "It's not easy! After so many years, she finally figured it out. A while ago, Xi Zhen told me that I still didn't believe it. It's really great!"

She was so happy, it felt like meeting a Bodhisattva head-on and telling her that she could become a Buddha!
"Okay, okay, calm down." Meng Junhuai didn't care about her silly and happy look, patted her and said to her, "You and the twelve younger siblings are also familiar, so just apologize to them tomorrow, don't let Lan Jing is too sad."

"Naturally, I know!" Yu Yin said.She thought to herself, Lan Jing's temperament is just a little bit better, can I push her back?

Then Meng Junhuai was silent for a while, and then said: "Take another message for me, let the twelfth brother come to the mansion when he is free, I have something to talk to him about."
