The little lady in the palace

Chapter 174 Tenderness
He Jing and the others returned to Yongning Palace and whispered the matter to Yu Yin, who was startled.

This wasn't a big deal at first, it's inevitable for young people to lose some sense of propriety when they are playing around, and since they didn't hurt anyone and didn't admit their mistakes, it shouldn't cause any big trouble.

However, the eldest son of the emperor detained Xi Yao... This is very wrong!
For a while, Yuyin was also worried about the eldest son of the emperor being in a bad mood today, and she was also afraid that Concubine Ding would worry about it, so she found an excuse to retreat from the palace and told Zhao Chengrui to go with Shan Shan to find someone.

She said: "You guys go and see what's going on. If the eldest son of the emperor is really annoyed by this, it's better to talk about it. If it doesn't work, just say that I will punish her when I go back to the mansion. No matter what happens, I will take her away first." return."

Zhao Chengrui and Shan Shan answered "yes" together, took two steps back and just turned around to go out, when they looked up and saw Xi Yao came back.

"Xi Yao?" Yu Yin breathed a sigh of relief, and went up to see her, "Are you alright?"

"It's okay..." Xi Yao shook her head, looking at her and the three cousins, she knew why they were worried.

So she explained: "Your Highness was not really angry, he scared me. After we talked for a while, he let me come back."

Yu Yin was relieved, but still let Shan Shan go for a while, and asked her to apologize to the eldest son of the emperor on Xi Yao's behalf.Two quarters later, Shan Shan came back and said that the eldest son of the emperor was talking with the clan members in Qianqing Palace, but he didn't see anyone, but he sent someone out to tell her that please don't mind Yuyin, he was the one who took the initiative to play with Mingjing first. .

This incident was exposed, but after the evening banquet and returned to the mansion, Xi Yao was surprised by the eldest son of the emperor again.

——When they entered the main courtyard, they saw two eunuchs waiting at the door. Yuyin approached the people around him to ask questions. The two eunuchs went up to greet him, opened the box in their hands and said, "Your Highness said thank you for today The girl’s handkerchief, give this back to the girl, and the girl can choose what she likes to use.”

Xi Yao: "..."

She only glanced at it, and saw that the veils in the box were arranged neatly in a triangular shape, and they were probably made of excellent silk satin, which had a faint luster under the light of the lantern next to it.

This is definitely not something that can be used casually... In comparison, although the material used for her piece is also exquisite, it is just an embroidery work done with nothing to do. The eldest son of the emperor is too exaggerated.

Xi Yao hesitated and didn't dare to take it, but Yu Yin didn't have so many worries, she stretched out her hand to touch it, and said with a smile: "The good things weaved in Suzhou, please keep them." Then she said to the two eunuchs in front of her, "Thank you, Mr. Lao, Your Highness."

Xi Yao accepted the gift tremblingly, and she also knew that it would be impossible if she didn't accept it - none of them lacked this thing, it would be ridiculous to push around for a few handkerchiefs.

After returning to the room, I opened it and took a closer look. Even He Jingmingjing, who came to join in the fun, exclaimed "Wow"!
This thing is really exquisitely made, and there are no two pieces of the same thread from the fabric to the hem.Looking at the embroidery pattern again, it is exquisite and beautiful everywhere, and each piece is soft and beautiful, which cannot be embroidered by non-qualified embroiderers.

In addition to exquisite workmanship, the design is also quite ingenious.Taking December as the theme, from January to the twelfth lunar month, the embroidery samples are selected to match the flowers of the month.For example, the twelfth lunar month is wintersweet, and the first month is orchids... Xi Yao turned over the May and June pieces with a thought, and the piece in June was not only embroidered with lotus flowers, but also a double lotus.

His heart is so delicate...

For a moment, she felt as if her heartstrings were being gently caressed by a hand, and then she suddenly saw the hand holding the handkerchief and asking her if she had a sweetheart in her mind.

Xi Yao's face became hot, and she quickly put the handkerchief back in her senseless helplessness. After closing the box, she walked to the closet and pretended to pack her things, saying: "I'm so tired today, I want to go to bed early Well... let's talk tomorrow."

"Okay, then let's go back to the room first." After He Jing said that, she pulled Ming Jing and left Xi Yao's room. Xi Yao didn't dare to turn around until she heard the sound of the door closing.She sat on the couch, her heart was in a mess, and a growing emotion made her excited and scared.

In the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, Meng Shiying had been watching for a long time unconsciously holding a handkerchief.When the square veil was suddenly pulled away, he was startled: "Ah..."

"Brother, aren't you..." Meng Yujing leisurely unfolded the veil for a closer look, "Which girl did you fall in love with? You kept it so well that you didn't even tell me?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Meng Shijin snatched the handkerchief back, Meng Yujing didn't snatch it anymore, she just looked at him with a smile: "Which girl?"

Meng Shijin's face turned livid: "I told you not to talk nonsense!"

"Okay, okay, I'm not talking nonsense." Meng Yujing pulled a chair to his desk, and Shi Shiran sat down, "Then let me ask again, you are so hot during the day that you asked me to find a parlor that is 'the more exquisite the better'." Son, which one are you pleasing?"

Meng Shi choked for a moment, and said immediately, "I owe someone something, and I want you to pay the debt!"

Meng Yujing immediately asked: "Who do you owe?"

Meng Shiying: "..."

"Hey, hello." Meng Yujing clicked her mouth, "This is really strange. My wise and courageous elder brother is actually interested in him but dare not say it? How about I do you a favor and say something to your father, queen and mother?" ?”

Meng Shiying stared at her and breathed a sigh of relief, Yangyin called someone in: "Go and invite the son-in-law."

This moment, Meng Yujing's expression turned unhappy: "What are you calling him for...! I told him to go home first!"

"It's New Year's Eve, if you can't keep your mouth shut, go play with your son-in-law, don't bother me here." Meng Shiying was obviously upset, and the way she frowned and scolded her was definitely not joking.

"...Are you really angry?" Meng Yujing was a little surprised, frowned, and stopped joking, "Then I won't say it, I was wrong."

But Meng Shijin ignored her, and sat there with his forehead propped up, staring at the table without saying a word.

Meng Yujing felt that she was boring herself, so she had to turn around and leave.But when he came to the door, he was stopped by his elder brother: "Yu Jing."

She stopped and turned her head, Meng Shiyu was silent for a while, and said: "I don't like anyone, even if I do, I won't drag anyone down with my body like this. If you take this matter to the Queen Mother Talk too much, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people."

"..." Yu Jing muffledly replied "Oh" and left, feeling a little aggrieved and feeling sorry for her brother.She felt that her elder brother should still like someone, but she refused to say it because of her poor health.She has always felt that her brother is a very good person, and it is only right that all the girls in the world like him.Now it's like this...it's too pitiful.

Thinking about this, Yu Jing was listless all the way.When walking out of the Duanmen, he raised his eyes to see the person who greeted him, his expression was even worse: "Didn't I tell you to go back home first!"

"...The minister has gone back." The son-in-law's expression was gloomy, "It was windy when we walked halfway, so the minister brought some things to keep out the cold."

Meng Yujing froze and didn't respond.

She had been lamenting about her brother all the way, but now that he had mentioned it, she felt that the surroundings were indeed getting colder, and the thick, wide-sleeved cloak was lined with fox fur, and she couldn't bear it now.So when the son-in-law took over the cloak from the eunuch and wanted to add clothes for her, Yu Jing didn't dodge any more.

But when the son-in-law wanted to take her hand, she avoided it.

The son-in-law smiled lightly, and continued: "There is ginger soup in the car, it has been boiled all the way, the princess should drink some."

"No need, I don't like ginger, I never eat it." Yu Jing refused tactfully, and walked to the carriage after saying that, but the son-in-law laughed again: "The minister turned back by himself, because he was afraid of being persuaded by the servants." Can't live with the princess."

Yu Jing ignored him and got into the car.He went up with her, squatted down, picked up the small pot of hot ginger soup and poured her a bowl: "Drink as much as you want, it's right to drink medicine."

Yu Jing looked aside with a cold face and didn't do financial management. The concubine said, "Don't blame me for being troublesome. The princess just got a cold a few days ago, and it's easy to repeat."

Yu Jing raised her eyebrows: "Who told you that I had a cold?"

The son-in-law was silent for a while with a smile on his face, but he didn't "confess truthfully": "I just asked around."

Yu Jing was annoyed for a while.

After going back and forth, Yu Jing finally took the bowl of ginger soup over.But she really didn't like the taste of ginger, so she took a few sips and put it down angrily. The son-in-law then tucked a hand stove into her arms, and didn't bother her anymore, just straight up He got out of her carriage and went back to his own car.

It was already very late when Yu Jing left the palace, and when she returned to the mansion, the sky was already slightly pale.She opened the curtain of the car and heard the son-in-law sneezed a few times outside, subconsciously wanted to say to him "here is ginger soup" for a moment, and quickly pushed down the thought.

After she got out of the carriage, the two of them didn't have much to say.As soon as he bowed and she nodded, they went into their respective mansion gates. The two mansion gates were facing each other. Many people in Beijing thought they were deliberately looking for some meaning of "the right family" for fun. Only Yu Jing knew in her heart that there was something wrong with this. Make her more annoying.

So she never looked back after she walked into her mansion, she didn't want to see his hospitality, she felt extremely hypocritical.

But this time, a violent cough stopped her. Yu Jing turned her head to look, and saw him stopped a few steps away from the door, bending over and coughing uncontrollably.

sick?

She frowned slightly, and wanted to walk over, but pressed her footsteps abruptly.

A few zhang away, the son-in-law coughed for a while, then recovered a bit, and helped his attendants to use his strength to stand up straight.He took two deep breaths, and then ordered: "Close the gate."

"Master...?" The boy supporting him was puzzled, but the son-in-law resisted another burst of coughing, and spoke more clearly: "Close the gate, don't tell the princess about this, I'll take two medicines Enough."

After he finished speaking, he continued to walk in. The young man responded and ran to close the door. Just as he was about to close it, he was stopped by the eunuch who came from the opposite side.

"The princess has something to ask you, come here." The eunuch called people away with a suppressed voice, and gave a warning look to the others in the courtyard, so that they would not dare to speak.

After entering the gate of the princess mansion, the young servant told Yu Jing everything in detail without making Yu Jing waste any more words.

He said that the son-in-law felt a little cold when he came back for the first time, so he suddenly remembered that she had caught the wind and cold a few days ago, so he went back to the mansion and immediately picked up the things and went back to the palace gate to wait for her.

"How long have you been waiting?" Yu Jing asked the young man, who was taken aback, and she added, "How long did he wait before I left the palace?"

"It's been about an hour." The boy replied.

Meng Yujing held her breath in her chest, and it took a long time before she breathed out slowly.

She looked at the closed gate across the street a few feet away: "Go into the palace and ask for the Queen Mother's order, and ask her to give you an imperial doctor."

The eunuch beside her responded and left, Yu Jing stared at the gate for a while, gritted her teeth and put aside all thoughts when her mood became more and more complicated, and turned to go to her mansion.

The boy saluted behind her and was about to retreat, but was stopped by the eunuch who called him just now: "Wait a minute."

"Eunuch." The boy bowed, and the eunuch looked at the princess's back and asked him, "What do you plan to say after you go back?"

The boy replied: "It is said that the princess passed on the imperial doctor to the son-in-law..."

"Stupid!" The eunuch stretched out his hand and patted him on the head, "Are you saying that you want the son-in-law to come over to thank the princess? You, don't mention anything, the princess has this in mind, so there is no need for you, a current person." Talk too much!"

The little servant was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed joy in the trance.
