The little lady in the palace

Chapter 178
Under the premise that Xie Jiqing will never let go of his words, Yuyin decides to muster up the courage to bring Xiyao into the palace by herself.

Meng Junhuai didn't stop her, but frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I should tell your brother, take her, I'll send someone to pass the message."

Yu Yin said yes, he thought for a while and said: "Then don't go back to Qingyuan when you come out of the palace, go back to the palace."

Yu Yin: "...?"

After a moment of reaction, she understood, and then she laughed: "You want me to hide from him?"

"There's nothing wrong with hiding. I'll deal with it here and see if I can talk it out. If not, I'll lock him up in Qingyuan for a few days!" Meng Junhuai said while rolling up his sleeves, as if he wanted to fight Xie Jiqing posture.

Yu Yin burst out laughing, knowing that he was doing this for her own good, but...

When the aunt wants to bypass the biological parents to send the niece into the palace, and the uncle plans to "fight" with the brother-in-law, it is enough to attract people's imagination.

Coupled with the two parties of "Xie's family" and "clan", Yuyin estimated that the storytellers on the street could make up dozens of stories for them.From family discord to family property disputes to power struggles, all kinds of plots are brilliant!

So she declined Meng Junhuai's arrangement?
Of course not.Yuyin felt that Meng Junhuai's concerns were right, her brother was extremely opposed to this matter, and it was not impossible to do something drastic, and she didn't want to make any trouble with her brother because of it.As for what the storytellers say, let them go.Anyway, whether it is the Xie family or the clan, even if the weather is calm and nothing happens, their stories will never be missing in the streets.

On the carriage to the palace, Yuyin also made it very clear to Xi Yao: "You can't think that your family treats you badly and your aunt treats you well because of this incident. In fact, the elders love you very much, so I want you to You have no worries about food and clothing all your life, and you don’t have to worry about being a widow all the time. My aunt also wants you to live like that in her heart, but she thinks what you said makes sense, and you have to walk the road by yourself... Anyway, you have to remember, we They are all plans based on the hope that you will have a good life, and none of them are intentionally trying to make you unhappy. This time, no matter whether you can marry the eldest son of the emperor as you wish, you still have to get along well with your family!"

"I know..." Xi Yao murmured, she leaned her head into Yuyin's arms and was silent for a while, then said, "I always know that the family is for my own good, but sometimes when I get impatient, I feel that they are oily and salty." No... But after thinking about it after the incident, I understand."

That's good.Yu Yin breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully Xi Yao is indeed very sensible!

Because even though she was personally sending Xi Yao into the palace, she didn't have the slightest intention of antagonizing her natal family because of this.

She can even say that in her eyes, the family's way is better, and she made this move entirely because of Xi Yao's own thoughts in her consideration.

She hoped that the children under her nose would be happy, and at the same time, she hoped that the family would be in harmony, that's all.

In Kunning Palace, the queen is not surprised when she heard that Prince Yi came to say hello.But when I heard that she brought a Miss Xie family along, I couldn't help being surprised: "Is it the eldest son of the emperor?"

"Your maidservant looks at it." The old nanny next to her bowed, "That's the princess' elder brother...that is, the only daughter of Jin Yiwei's commander Tongzhi Xie, and the princess's niece. She is 16 years old this year, just the right age for marriage. "

The queen nodded, although she was surprised that Xie's family would send someone in, she went ahead and said, "Please come in."

Yuyin took Xiyao into the hall.After seeing the ceremony and taking her seat, the Queen's eyes fell on Xi Yao.

Yu Yin pursed her lips and smiled: "This child... I saw His Highness during the Chinese New Year, and I couldn't let it go. I heard that His Highness insisted on coming in to choose a concubine, so I had to bring her in. I have Mrs. Lao to take care of you. Trouble."

Yuyin nodded as much as possible, which is Xi Yao's intention to come in, and it is also appropriate to match the queen's sister-in-law in terms of address.But she can only help so far, whether the Queen believes the meaning of the previous sentence, or ignores the latter sentence is beyond her control.And even if she can control her, she also understands that it is not good for the queen to show any preferential treatment on the surface.

After finishing the business, Yuyin chatted with the Queen about the family affairs for a while, and then took the excuse of saying hello to Concubine Ding and left.

She also really planned to go and say hello to Concubine Ding, because compared to the empress who had to sit in that seat with a bowl of water, Concubine Ding could do whatever she wanted.

She listened to Yu Yin talk about this while drinking tea, and when she finished speaking, she put down the teacup and said, "They are all my own children, so I won't wrong her. You can go back home with peace of mind, I will take care of the fifth school." , it doesn't matter whether her wish can be fulfilled or not, the 'rules' in the palace can't apply to her."

Yu Yin breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Concubine Ding deeply.All she wants is Concubine Ding to help her out... Hey!These kids are really annoying!

Gandong five.

Xi Yao also withdrew from Kunning Palace soon after her aunt resigned, and was brought here.The residence was packed in advance, the palace man invited her to a side room, and briefly introduced where the study room was and where the noble ladies had their meals, and then they left.

She was the only one in the room, and the completely unfamiliar environment and people really made her feel a little flustered.

Will he come here?she does not know.She both wanted to see him and hoped that he would not come, because she was afraid that she would not know what to say when she saw him.

In another wing room not far away, after being blocked by the people of Yongning Palace, the female officer in charge has been pacing up and down in the room restlessly.

The eunuch in charge who came to discuss things with her was dizzy by her turn, and finally frowned: "Hey, sister Ren, can you stop turning?"

Didn't she just want to go to Miss Xie's to get some benefits, but was blocked by someone, so she didn't get any?But there are still so many people in this yard.

It's very easy for them to take advantage of the noble ladies. None of these noble ladies want to suffer or be wronged. Just knock on the door of their sunny room and say, "Hey, this room was originally reserved for others, girl." Your residence is on the opposite side." If you don't want to switch to the dark side, if you are not stupid, you will obediently give a favor; then say "I just heard about the eldest son of the emperor..." and then stopped talking, eager to find out the news about the eldest son of the emperor. If you don't, you have to send them some money.

So although this job only took one or two months, it was not as good as the job of serving in front of the masters for many years, but it was really a fat job.In order to receive this errand, the two of them did not less dredge their relationship.

Therefore, he can understand that this female official of the Ren family is reluctant to give up oil and water.

But I didn't expect that after she stopped wandering around, she didn't say anything greasy.She said: "Oh! Why do I feel bad about money? The ones given by Yongning Palace are more than what Miss Xie's family can give!"

"Then what circle are you playing here?" said the eunuch in charge.

Mrs. Ren said: "I was wondering... How should we treat Miss Xie in the future? Should I change her room again? Her current room is facing the sun, should I change it to a bigger one?"

"You can save yourself!" The eunuch squinted at her, "It really teaches people to see the difference, and it will make the other lady unhappy, and we can't afford it. We know it in our own minds, and if there is a conflict between them Let's take it easy, it's a small matter...it doesn't matter!"

Ren Shi thought about what he said, and he thought it was good.My heart is sour, he is really a snobbish person who does snobbish work, the more snobby work he does, the more snobby he thinks!

The accompanying hall of the Qing Palace.

The eldest son of the emperor who took the initiative to mention the matter of concubine selection felt surprised but had no intention of meeting after hearing that there were indeed many noble women entering the palace as candidates.I was only worried that since someone came in on his own initiative, how could he expose this matter without making him a concubine?

It's really a problem for yourself.

After a few more days, even the emperor finally urged him, meaning to let him make a rough idea first, and he and the queen make detailed plans.

Meng Shiying was afraid that if he didn't meet again, his father would see the clues, but he was really not in the mood to deal with those noble girls much - it wasn't that they were incapable of learning or couldn't speak, it was just that they didn't know anyone. What did you say?

If only one or two, he can ask, "How are your parents? How are your grandparents? What books do you like to read? What kind of food do you like to eat?".But now that the 20 people are placed there, he can't ask one by one, "How are your parents? How are your grandparents? What books do you like to read? What kind of food do you like to eat?", right?

So Meng Shiying pondered for a while, thought of a compromise, and ordered: "Go and find out what time the noble ladies go to Kunning Palace every day to say hello."

He wanted to go to Gandong No. [-] Institute when they were going to Kunning Palace, and meet each other on the way to greet them, but no one would talk on the road like that.At that time, after a few casual greetings, he said that he would also go to Kunning Palace to pay his respects, and everyone would go there together, and if he had something to say, he would go to Kunning Palace to talk.

Kunning Palace is also the territory of the queen mother, so he doesn't need to rack his brains to think of topics.

The eunuch who was ordered to inquire about the news quickly replied, saying that the noble ladies came out of the Qiandong No. [-] Institute at Moshimao and went to Kunning Palace.

Meng Shiying left the Qianqing Palace at a quarter of a hour the next day, and went to the Fifth Gandong Institute.

There is a long distance between Qiandong No. [-] and Kunning Palace, and Qianqing Palace is not far from Kunning Palace.So he walked for a long time after passing through Kunning Palace before he saw the noble ladies.

Under the gradually brightening sky, they lined up in two rows, all wearing white silk jackets and apricot skirts.

The two parties walked forward for a while, and the leading female officer had sharp eyes and saw him first.

"Stop." She said in a low voice, and immediately went forward to greet her with a blessing.All the noble ladies were stunned, and after turning around, they also bowed one after another, which was not neat as one can imagine.

"No." The eldest son of the emperor also settled his feet, and said to the female official, "I'm going to Gandong Wu to meet them, where are I going?"

"Go and say hello to the empress." The female officer lowered her head and replied.

He said "Oh", then handed them over from a distance, and said, "That's just right, I planned to go to Kunning Palace later, let's go together."

Go all the way?The noble ladies immediately showed joy on their faces.

The joyful looks on the faces of the people standing in front caught Meng Shijin's eyes. He didn't know how to face it, so he turned around in silence, and headed towards Kunning Palace.

Naturally, some of them are very anxious, as long as someone is anxious to walk quickly, others have to speed up to keep up.Even though it can't be too fast due to etiquette, the distance between the two sides is gradually shortening.

So not long after, Meng Shiying caught a glimpse of the noble ladies who were still a foot or two away from him from the corner of his eye, but now they were only half a step behind him.

I have to say that the two in the lead are very smart, and they suppressed the steps that were always half a step behind him, so they were not politely wrong, but such a short distance was enough for him to see most of their faces clearly, even Smell a faint fragrance.

Meng Shijin frowned slightly, glanced subconsciously and then turned back.But the figure that bumped into his mind suddenly disappeared, and he turned his head again in disbelief.

His eyes swept over that face again, and this time, he could see it clearly.

Xi Yao was also peeking at him at first, but when she suddenly met his eyes, she suddenly became frightened and could only keep staring at him intently.

"...Stop." Meng Shijin said a word, and the noble ladies stopped together again, and several eyes were cast on him, but that one strand was enough to make his heart flutter.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the eldest son of the emperor walked towards Miss Xie's family with a gloomy expression.

Xi Yao's whole heart was raised, and when he walked in front of her, she used [-]% of her strength to suppress her emotions, and bowed her knees: "Your Highness..."

Before she finished speaking, her arm was grabbed violently, and the force that came from her unceremoniously pulled her out of the queue.

Xi Yao turned pale with fright, her arm hurt so much from being held by him, she subconsciously avoided it, but he didn't let go.

"Your Highness, Your Highness...?" Xi Yao looked at him suspiciously, and saw him gnashing her teeth and shouting, "What are you doing here!"

She was stunned, his weak and sickly face twitched, and his voice raised a little: "What are you doing here!"
