The little lady in the palace

Chapter 165 Pushed
After Xie Sheng told You Zexu about this matter to He Jing, He Jing was not ambiguous.She couldn't tell whether You Zexu might have made a mistake, so she didn't rush to tell her father, queen, mother and concubine about it, but instead picked a day when there was nothing to do to directly ask Lan Jing about it.

She went to the front house first and called the guard named Tan Yu to come over. When she arrived at Yanyu Pavilion, Tan Yu was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

"Master Weng." Tan Yu bowed, and He Jing looked at him, his eyes fell on the handle of his knife, "Is this made by Lan Jing?"

Tan Yu hesitated for a moment, and immediately said frankly: "Yes."

"Give me the things, and you come in with me." He Jing said and entered the gate of Yanyu Pavilion.Tan Yumu took a moment and had to untie the sachet and hand it to her.

He Jing collected the sachet, and went straight into the wing room where Lan Jing lived. Qiao Liangdi, who was playing chess with Lan Jing in the room, sat facing the door, and saw her first: "He Jing."

"Concubine Qiao." He Jing blessed her politely, "I have something to tell Lan Jing, is it convenient for you to avoid it?"

"Okay." Qiao Liangdi didn't ask, she immediately got up and went out, and ordered her servants to serve tea and snacks outside the house.After the refreshments came in, He Jing stepped back and closed the door again, and handed the sachet to Lan Jing: "You keep this."

"Ah?" Lan Jing was stunned, looking at Tan Yu and then at her sister, "What's wrong?"

He Jing pulled her to sit down, thought about her words, and asked, "Why did you give him this?"

"Because..." Lan Jing thought for a while and replied, "He bought a lot of things for me. I can't always ask for his things for nothing."

He Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew it must be brother Ah Cheng and You Zexu thinking too much!
Their expressions obviously felt that Lan Jing understood something, but she didn't think so, because the guards around Lan Jing... all came from too low a level.

She thought about when she first met Xie Sheng, even though she was still young, she knew in her heart that "this is the right person for her".Lan Jing's vision is not low. In the past three years, her father, queen, mother and concubine have picked many princes from aristocratic families for her, and she has not liked them. How could she have any thoughts about the guards around her?
She held Lan Jing's hand and said: "You are too old, you should pay attention to this kind of thing, you can't give it to others casually. If you really think that you have made it, you have to reward it, and reward it to the maid around you, and you can't just give it away. For a man, if you spread the word, you will be gossiped about.”

Lan Jing and Tan Yu looked at each other subconsciously at the same time for no reason.

He Jing followed Lan Jing's gaze and glanced at Tan Yu, and waved him to go out first.

Tan Yu bowed, retreated to the door and just closed the door, and vaguely heard the inside saying: "Besides, you think these things are a wish, but in fact, how can there be real money? The concubine mother said, we think The humble two or three liang of silver is enough for ordinary people to live for a year, if you really want to reward it, you might as well reward some of this, it is something that can really make people live better."

Tan Yuzheng's hand to close the door stopped, as if he was suddenly choked with anger, and he choked for a long time before he turned and went to the front house.

In fact, what the Great Weng Lord said is correct, two or three liang of silver is kept in the folks, it is enough for ordinary people to live a year, and it is still a year with plenty of food and clothing.For a poor family like his, this is not a small amount of money.

And it can't be said that the Great Weng Lord looked down on him, if he really looked down on him, he wouldn't have let him withdraw first, and he couldn't do anything in front of him.

But he was very sad in his heart, and he was still uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it.This feeling was like swallowing a mouthful of dark clouds from the sky, making his whole heart gloomy for no reason.

He felt as if he was being angry, he clearly agreed with the words of the great man, but he felt that what the great man said was wrong, and he felt that the sachet was far better than real money.

So Tan Yu went all the way back with his head depressed, and after entering the room, he lay down without even saying hello to his roommate, and the other three roommates were a little confused.

"Hey, Tan Yu?" One of them fell off the couch, walked to his bed and pushed his back, "What's wrong with you? Like an eggplant beaten by frost?"

"It's okay." Tan Yu replied bluntly, even if he wanted to complain to others about this, he didn't know how to complain.

The auspicious day for He Jing and Xie Sheng was fixed in April.Because He Jing is a daughter of the clan, this auspicious day was chosen by the Ministry of Rites, and it was set on June [-], which happened to be one day after Ming Jing's birthday.

So Meng Junhuai thought from the day when the auspicious day was set, he must stay in the main courtyard for a whole day on June [-]th. The birthday of the youngest daughter and the wedding of the eldest daughter are all important events.He also had a discussion with Yuyin and Jing Mingjing, and asked them if they would not hold a birthday party for Ming Jing this time, but just have a family together?

Ming Jing nodded first: "Okay! My sister will play with me!"

So things settled down so smoothly.

Unexpectedly, no guests came on June [-]th, but Prince Chang did.

At that time, Meng Junhuai was expressing his reluctance to He Jing, and had to feed her breakfast with his own hands.The corners of He Jing's mouth twitched and she ate with disgust. While eating what her father brought over, she was feeding her younger sister.

Ming Jing was feeding her sister while feeding her concubine mother!

When Yang Enlu came in to report, Yuyin was being slapped with bean paste by Ming Jing with a bean paste bag.

"Hmm..." She looked up and saw Yang Enlu coming in, she quickly turned her back and wiped her mouth, Ming Jing giggled and climbed onto her lap and continued to feed her, eating porridge from the porcelain spoon Meng Junhuai brought to her mouth He Jing looked embarrassed for a moment.

"...I'll do it myself!" She finally protested to her father, took the bowl and spoon and ate by herself.Meng Junhuai looked serious: "What's the matter?"

"My lord, Prince Chang is here and says he has something urgent to see you."

What about Meng Junhuai?I can only go to the front house.He got angry as he walked, and said to himself, Brother Twelve, do you have some eyesight?Don't you know that your little niece's birthday is today and your eldest niece is getting married tomorrow?
When he got to the study, Prince Chang who was waiting there smiled apologetically, "Sixth brother, I'm sorry to bother you, please don't mind my two nieces."

"..." Meng Junhuai choked on what he wanted to say that he couldn't do anything, and glared at him coldly, "Sit down and speak up."

Both of them took their seats, and Prince Chang took out the book from his sleeve: "Sixth Brother, please read it over."

What is this?

Meng Junhuai took it over and looked at it. Before opening it, he guessed that he was dealing with the fourth brother's affairs and encountered difficulties, so he came to him for advice.But after reading it, I found that there were no difficulties mentioned in it, but I just wrote him the whole process in detail.

"Why show me this?" Meng Junhuai slapped the notebook on the table, frowning, "Brother Huang asked you to do this job, but he didn't bring you under my command. If you want to report it, you should report it directly to Brother Huang. "

"It was originally intended to be reported to the emperor's brother." Prince Chang said, "but the emperor's brother asked you to read it, so I had no choice but to rewrite it and show it to you."

How to let him see it? ? ?
Meng Junhuai was puzzled, and Prince Chang said again: "Brother Huang also said, if there is any uncertainty, please make up your mind, and I will leave it to you to propose any charges! Sixth brother, hurry up and see how I am doing, you After reading and sending a message, I can continue to do it.”

What does the emperor mean? ? ?
Meng Junhuai was at a loss, so he read the content carefully according to the holy will, and then roughly talked about his own thoughts, and the two had a discussion on the disagreement.

After such a discussion, it passed noon before we knew it.After sending Prince Chang away, Meng Junhuai walked out of the study door and saw that the sky turned green, feeling really sorry for the two girls.

When he returned to the main courtyard, He Jing was leading Ming Jing to kick the shuttlecock.

Ming Jing was young, so she couldn't compare to He Jing in terms of physical strength and balance, so Meng Junhuai saw that He Jing kicked dozens of times in a row without stopping, while Ming Jing kicked a dozen or so at most and it would break her.

So the little girl got a little angry, and desperately wanted to catch the shuttlecock, and stepped on the corner of her skirt in a hurry, her body was about to fall, but her eyes were still fixed on the shuttlecock.

"...Ming Jing!" Meng Junhuai quickly stepped forward and hugged her, but it didn't make her fall.The shuttlecock fell to the ground with a "click", and Ming Jing frowned at the shuttlecock, feeling a little sad.

"Father..." Ming Jing rubbed against his arms aggrievedly, "Don't let big sister get married, I want my sister to teach me how to kick shuttlecock."

Huh?
He Jing stopped as soon as she heard this, and ran over to pat her: "It's okay, I can come back and teach you to kick my sister even if she is married!"

"I don't want..." Ming Jing huddled in Meng Junhuai's arms and looked at her sister eagerly, "I want my sister to stay and teach me."

When she said this, Meng Junhuai understood that shuttlecock kicking was not important, and she was reluctant to be with Jing.

Meng Junhuai smiled dumbly, and stood up holding Ming Jing: "Father will take you into the house to rest for a while, will you and sister sleep well tonight?"

"En." Ming Jing, who hadn't been satisfied with the request just now, responded sullenly, lying on her father's shoulders, and was carried into the room by him.

In the room, Yu Yin was checking the jewelry that He Jing was going to use tomorrow for the last time, when she looked up and saw Ming Jing's appearance, she was startled and then smiled: "Why is Ming Jing unhappy?"

"I can't bear to be with Jing." Meng Junhuai shook his head while sighing softly. Seeing that Ari was sleeping soundly on the Arhat's bed, he let her go to play with Ari, and walked over to see with Yuyin what Hejing will use tomorrow. .

Naturally, Yu Yin couldn't avoid asking him: "Why is Prince Chang in such a hurry to come?"

"Actually, it's not important." Meng Junhuai frowned, "I don't know what it means, the emperor insisted that he show me the process of investigating the fourth brother, and told him to tell me if he had any doubts. discuss."

"Ah?" Yu Yin tensed all over, looked at him, and asked tentatively, "What does the emperor mean to ask you to directly take the idea of ​​Duke Qi?"

"Seems to be."

"But in terms of status, the King of Qi County...is a descendant; in terms of lineage, he is higher than you and Prince Chang." Yu Yin said again.

Meng Junhuai clicked his tongue and said: "Yes, that's why I'm also surprised. Normally, no one can make any decision about this matter except Brother Huang. Brother Huang also asked me to make a crime for him. It's really..."

Before he finished speaking, he found that Yuyin was staring at him intently.

"What's the matter?" He was frightened by her, so he asked, and seeing her staring at him, he stood up, put his hands on his shoulders, and tiptoed to his ear, "Do you think the emperor... "

He leaned over to listen, and her last few words were: "Want to give you the throne?"

"Ah?!" Meng Junhuai's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he said fiercely to her after a while, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"What nonsense? Think about it for yourself." Yu Yin looked at him with bright eyes, and frowned slightly between her brows, "If it wasn't for that meaning...is this not in compliance with the rules?"

It would be fine if it was handed over to Jin Yiwei directly.But now it was apparently handed over to Prince Chang, but he turned a corner and asked him to come up with a crime?This is very strange.

It's strange that Prince Pingjun, who handed it over to the Ministry of Punishments, didn't hand it over to him!
Meng Junhuai took a deep breath: "No."

"What's wrong?" Yu Yin was stunned.

He looked at Ming Jing, dragged Yu Yin to the back of the screen and said, "If Brother Huang really meant that... then no, I don't have the heart, I have to push this matter away."

He meant to push the throne...?
Yu Yin looked at him in complete bewilderment.

How should I put it, she knew that it would take courage to sit in the seat of more than [-] people, but she pushed that seat, why did she feel that courage was needed even more...?
