The little lady in the palace

Chapter 164 Gossip
Qianqing Palace.

Prince Chang's notebook was handed over to the emperor, and the emperor took a look at it and couldn't help smiling.After reading the contents inside, he thought for a while and walked to the East Side Hall.

A few steps away from the supporting hall, there was a violent coughing sound.

The emperor stopped at his feet, and his gaze towards the side hall was trembling slightly because of worry.But he insisted on waiting for the coughing to stop, and waited a little longer before continuing to walk in.

In the hall, Meng Shijin, who had stopped coughing, leaned on the pillow to catch his breath. From the corner of his eye, he saw his father coming in, and sat up straight: "Royal Father."

"Ah." The emperor sat down on the couch and looked at him with a smile, "How do you feel today?"

"I'm fine, father, don't worry." The eldest son of the emperor also smiled, thanking his father for not hearing the cough just now.Then his eyes fell on the booklet in the emperor's hand, and knowing that it was used to talk to him, he had nothing to hide, "This is..."

"It's for the King of Qi." The emperor handed him the booklet, "Your twelve uncle handed it in."

Uncle Twelve?
After the father succeeded to the throne, the errands went from the second uncle to the eleventh uncle. The twelfth uncle was just the dividing line. The uncles after him had been idle all the time, and Meng Shijin almost lost his impression of them.

He couldn't help being surprised that the first note about the fourth uncle was handed in by the twelfth uncle, and he wondered if he was asking for love?But after he finished reading it, he found that Uncle Twelfth actually wanted to take over the task of investigating the Duke of Qi?
Meng Shijin frowned, puzzled: "Why did Twelfth Uncle suddenly..."

"I think someone mentioned him." The emperor said.

Meng Shiying subconsciously began to think about who he was friends with with Twelfth Uncle, and the first thing that came to his mind was: "Sixth Uncle?"

"Yes." The emperor nodded.

"You think Sixth Uncle is also forming a clique?" Meng Shijin frowned even deeper.He thought that Uncle Liu had Jin Yiwei in his hands, and it would be difficult to deal with this power if it turned against him.

But the emperor shook his head: "If your sixth uncle forms a party, there is no need to find Prince Chang who has no real power. The Xie family is the closest and most useful to him."

"Then he is..." Meng Shijin's voice faltered suddenly, and then he let out a breath of disbelief, "Sixth Uncle is kind."

If it wasn't for the purpose of forming a party, he could only have done this to help Twelfth Uncle and prevent the palace from being dissatisfied because Twelfth Uncle had no errand and had no stance on this matter.

This matter seems to be not difficult, but the current situation...the rumors they let out are enough to make all the clan members who have sensed the clues be cautious and cautious. At this time, they are willing to stretch out their hands to take care of others. It's benevolent.

The emperor sighed: "If everyone cares about brotherhood like him, I don't know how much trouble can be saved. If the clan is harmonious, it will be good for the world."

"Father?" Meng Shijin was slightly startled, "You think Sixth Uncle can..."

"Let's be careful first. Your sixth uncle has some skills in leading Jinyiwei in the past few years, but it's too early to make such a big deal." The emperor concluded the topic here and looked it over The only son said for a moment, "You should be crowned this year."

"...Yes." Meng Shiying felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.He originally thought that he would not live until this time, but now that he has, he doesn't know how long he can live.

"Take care of it well. Your crowning ceremony and Yujing's evening ceremony this year are both major events." The emperor patted his son on the shoulder, and Meng Shijin nodded in response, unable to utter a single word because of his complicated emotions.

At the end of January, the palace issued a decree to enclose King Qi County into the mansion, and investigate and deal with it according to the law. The errand was given to Prince Chang, who was twelve years old, and there was a lot of discussion in Beijing.As a result, Meng Junhuai, who had a good relationship with him, couldn't rest at all. The visitors stepped over the threshold every day, some of them wanted to find out what the emperor meant, and the other part thought that Prince Chang had a bright future and wanted to climb the high branch.

Prince Yi's mansion was lively for a whole month, until the beginning of March, when You Zexu and Xi Zhen's marriage closed to thank guests, the mansion became more relaxed.

After they got married, the marriage between He Jing and Xie Sheng was quickly brought up.

So Meng Junhuai, who was rarely free, was in a bad mood. Yuyin was reading a storybook when he was bored, and he would walk around the room, making her keep looking at him from the corner of her eye.

Later, she couldn't continue reading because of his turn, so she put the book away: "Jun Huai, can you sit down for a while? I'm getting dizzy!"

"... Alas!" He sighed heavily, and sat down on the Arhat's bed with a deep frown.Yu Yin pouted, walked over and sat beside him and laughed at him: "What are you doing? Can't bear to marry Jing?"

"Yes." Meng Junhuai sighed again as he spoke, and asked her with his forehead in deep thought, "You said, can we keep her for a few more years?"

Yu Yin pursed her lips and thought for a while, then replied, "I think so too."

He Jing was not her own, but now she really almost forgot about it.

When she married in, He Jing was only four or five years old.At the beginning, He Jing hated her very much, but the process didn't last long, and they got along harmoniously.

It's been ten years since then, right?He Jing has always been by her side, spending more time with her than any of her own children, and on the other hand, her time with He Jing must be longer than Meng Junhuai's time with He Jing.

He couldn't bear it, and she couldn't bear it even more.

For a moment, both of them had the illusion that they seemed to be particularly sad...

I feel that the cold wind is blowing in the luxurious and elegant main courtyard bedroom...

The two looked at each other with sympathy, and in the sad mood, they thought at the same time: Really, sooner or later we will be the only ones left to depend on each other!
Then Yu Yin's eyes sank: "No, let's not keep her anymore."

Meng Junhuai: "..."

She sighed faintly, and told him her reasoning.

She felt that although they were very reluctant to part with He Jing, they had to take He Jing's own thoughts into consideration.

——It's not that He Jing doesn't care about them, it's just that she is full of enthusiasm for a new life after marriage, and Yu Yin thinks it's not good to suppress her thoughts?

It was easy for them to keep her, but it was a matter of discussing with the Xie family.But what if after three to five years, He Jing's idea faded away and he felt that it didn't matter, it would be bad.

It is best to follow their wishes when they are the sweetest and most looking forward to getting married, so that they will do their best for each other and this relationship after they get married.Yuyin felt that if one day Xie Sheng and He Jing couldn't get along anymore, she would be happy to continue raising He Jing with a piece of paper, but before that, their parents can't force others to heat up for their own selfishness. Feelings are worn away!
"It makes sense for you to say so." Meng Junhuai sighed sadly after hearing her words, he really wanted to push He Jing back to the age of five or six, and raise her for another ten years with peace of mind!
Since then, the main courtyard has become more and more lively day by day.

He Jing was still shy when thinking about marriage at the beginning, but then everyone talked about it day by day, and all the arrangements for her were serious matters, and she gradually became "shameless", and the joy gradually overwhelmed the shyness .

For example, when the trial-manufactured wedding shoes were delivered, I made a gesture with Jing and immediately said, "Brother Ah Cheng's pair are half an inch smaller! No, they have to be redone!"

After finishing the conversation, all the brothers and sisters in the room looked at her with restrained smiles, Ah You was the worst, ran over and grabbed her sleeve and asked, "Sister, how do you know so well?"

"Nonsense, that's your brother-in-law!" He Jing wasn't embarrassed at all, and then admitted confidently, "I just made a pair for him, half an inch bigger than this one, and it fits right."

"..." Meng Junhuai held his forehead in pain, thinking that you haven't made shoes for me yet?
Yu Yin held back a smile and handed him a piece of snack to coax him, and then said to He Jing: "It happens that Xie Sheng will come over later, so just call him and let the embroidery room measure it for him, so as not to be inappropriate again."

"Okay!" He Jing agreed.A moment later, when they heard that Xie Sheng was coming, they went to the front house to meet him in person.When I arrived at the Qianzhai, I saw You Zexu and Xizhen were there.

"Hey, why did you come here together?" He Jing was surprised for a moment, and Xi Zhen explained: "No, I came back to see my aunt, the cousin I met at the door."

Several people are familiar with each other, and there is no need to be polite, so let's go to the main courtyard at the back together.

Xizhen and You Zexu came with gifts, and only one eunuch carried three large boxes in his hand, so high that they couldn't see the way.It’s okay if the road is flat, but there is a row of back buildings between the front house and the back house. There is a threshold in the middle of the back building. pour down.

You Zexujiu reacted quickly in Jinyiwei, and immediately raised his hand to block it, blocking the top box before it hit Xizhen.Xie Sheng also reached out to help when he saw it, and he could support him before walking forward, but the eunuch was frightened, and wanted to kneel down to apologize, but the posture was really inconvenient, and the three of them froze at the gate in a very awkward state place.

Xie Sheng had no choice but to yell at the eunuch: "Get up quickly!"

The voice fell, and a young girl's voice came over, shouting, "Help me quickly."Xie Sheng and You Zexu froze there with their backs facing the back house, unable to see who it was, but soon saw a person dressed as a guard coming to help.

"Lan Jing." He Jing took the initiative to say hello to the people who came over, looked at her clothes, and asked, "Going out to play again?"

"Well, I heard that there is a new dim sum shop in Dongsi, and the dim sum is very good." Lan Jing said and looked at Tan Yu who was helping to carry things, and said, "But there is no rush, I will go first Send things over for my sister, and say hello to my concubine."

"Thank you, sister, please treat me to this meal of dim sum." He Jing felt that her temper had obviously improved recently, so she was also happy to joke with her.As soon as the two sisters held hands, they took the lead, and after thinking about it, they turned back and pulled Lian Xizhen away together, "Let them take it, let's go first!"

Xizhen stuck out her tongue at You Zexu unkindly and ran away with her sisters. You Zexu and Xie Cheng, who were left behind, laughed angrily and shook their heads, knowing that they were trying to annoy others.

"Thank you very much." You Zexu thanked Tan Yu. Although he knew that the eunuch could not take so much by himself, he felt embarrassed to use the people around Er Weng Lord, so he wanted to take what Tan Yu was holding. .

Tan Yu avoided it for a while, and said with a relaxed smile, "It's fine if I come. Er Weng Lord ordered it."

You Zexu didn't argue with him any more, and in a blink of an eye, he noticed a sachet on the handle of his knife.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Xie, I still have something to tell you." You Zexu acted as if he had just remembered something, reached out his hand to Xie Sheng, and the two of them walked forward a few times quickly, shoulder to shoulder Husband.

Then You Zexu said in a low voice: "The pattern on the guard's sachet, I see it is the needle method used by Er Weng Master?"

"Ah?" Xie Sheng was taken aback by what he said, and for a moment he missed the point, and asked in surprise, "Can you tell the difference in the girl's acupuncture?"

"...I have been in Jinyiwei for four years." You Zexu said, turned his head to look at the guard, and said, "Everyone in the mansion that I have seen embroidery work, I can tell the difference, there should be no one." Wrong judgment. There is something wrong here..."

"..." Xie Sheng thought for a while, "Then shall I tell my aunt?"

You Zexu also thought about it, and shook his head: "No, what if I'm wrong? Well, you should tell the old man first."
