The little lady in the palace

Chapter 181 Arrangement
Back in the palace, Meng Shiying went to the Imperial Garden to calm down and think about things. Xi Yao's every move made him laugh several times, and then he calmed down again, thinking about what to do next.

She said that she "would not cry, make trouble, or hang herself, nor would she do anything that would embarrass the Xie family, nor would she damage Huang Wei." It sounds like she would not do anything out of the ordinary up.

Things are not "out of the box", and the action should not be too big.

Then there should be more things that he can lead.If she made trouble unscrupulously and angered the emperor, he would try to protect her, and he might have to marry her in the end; but now that she is still keeping her sense, it seems that he doesn't have to worry too much?
After all, in the final analysis, his marriage must be bestowed by the emperor, and Xi Yao will not make trouble with the emperor if he is careful.

Meng Shijin reassured herself a bit after considering this, and decided not to make any arrangements rashly for the time being, but to see what she was going to do first, and then deal with it by herself.

He took a breath, and couldn't help laughing again.

——He is so careful and careful to fight wits and bravery with a girl's family for the love of his children?You must know that he may not be so careful about things going up.

Meng Shiying shook his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a female official from Kunning Palace beside him, looking hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

The female officer gave a blessing: "Your Highness, the person in charge of Gandong No. [-] Institute...the Queen Mother said to leave it to you, but the person has already been escorted outside, but it is up to Your Highness to order it."

Meng Shiying looked outside the door behind her, and sure enough, she saw a eunuch kneeling there under guard, and when he saw him turn his head, he immediately kowtowed like garlic, which was very different from the way he was talking to Xi Yao that day.

He smiled coldly in his heart and moved his eyes away. He didn't want to bother with this kind of person, so he said to the female official: "You can figure it out. Miss Xie is generous and doesn't care about it, just give the Xie family an explanation."

It is no exaggeration to say that he was indeed surprised that Yu Xiyao did not blame him.In this matter, he blamed himself and hated himself for not being thoughtful enough to make her suffer like that.

It can be seen that she really likes him, and she is such a lovable girl, if he has the opportunity to marry her, he will definitely treat her well and treat her well for the rest of his life.

Unfortunately, his life was too short.This wish has to be put in the next life.

In Qingyuan, a few eunuchs worked together to block the entrance of the study, so that the eldest son of the emperor was not annoyed when he saw Mr. Xie when he passed by and left.

When Meng Junhuai came out of Mingxin Pavilion and walked into the study, what he saw was Xie Jiqing's ashen complexion.

"Thank you brother." He looked at him and said.

As soon as Xie Jiqing saw him, he stood up again: "Where is Xiyao!"

"Xiyao just woke up and is still resting in the room." Meng Junhuai said as he walked to sit down in front of the desk, Xie Jiqing walked out: "I'll go see her."

"No." When Meng Junhuai's voice fell, those eunuchs had blocked Xie Jiqing.

Xie Jiqing turned his head angrily, and Meng Junhuai sighed softly: "She is still weak, brother Xie should calm down and go to see her again. Now that Yuyin is taking care of her, brother Xie can rest assured."

Xie Jiqing smiled softly: "With Yuyin taking care of you, it's even more worrying?"

Meng Junhuai's brows twitched when he heard his obviously pointed tone: "Brother Xie, you hurt people too much by saying that."

Xie Jiqing remained silent, and the two of them were silent for a while expressing their dissatisfaction. It was Meng Junhuai who spoke first: "Xi Yao has been by Yuyin's side for more than ten years. Brother Xie will never think that it is Yuyin who is a close relative. Auntie deliberately harmed her, or we sent her into the palace because of something we plotted against her?"

Xie Jiqing looked away and didn't answer for a while, only feeling a puff of breath still stuck in his chest.

But even though he still has this anger, he is very clear in his heart that what he said just now was indeed too much.

Yuyin must be very sad now, and it is impossible for their husband and wife to plot against Xi Yao, even if it is the throne.

It's just that he only has one son and one daughter, and he always feels more distressed about this daughter who is not by his side all the year round.Now that he heard that something like this happened to her, he felt really distressed...!
Xie Jiqing gritted his teeth and took a few breaths, then turned around and sat back: "The words just now were out of anger, Your Highness doesn't need to tell Yuyin."

Meng Junhuai nodded: "Okay."

Xie Jiqing added: "I will mention the matter of Xi Yao in the palace more in the future, I just have one request."

As he spoke, he looked at Meng Junhuai, and Meng Junhuai nodded: "Brother Xie, please tell me."

"Xi Yao can do whatever she wants, except for the matter with the eldest son of the emperor."

Meng Junhuai's expression froze slightly, Xie Jiqing looked at him calmly and asked: "Will His Highness promise the lords of the mansion... to be wives to people who will die at some point?"

"I understand what Brother Xie means." Meng Junhuai said after thinking for a while, and then said, "But I can only tell Brother Xie that we will try our best to persuade her, and there is no guarantee that we will persuade her. But if anything happens again, we will also Brother Xie will be notified in time."

"Okay." Xie Jiqing replied a little tiredly, and after a long silence, he continued, "Thank you."

Mingxin Pavilion.

Because Xi Yao resisted strongly when she woke up and refused to see the eldest son of the emperor, Yu Yin was quite worried about her.But after entering the room and talking for a while, and watching her eat, I found that she seemed to be in a good mood...?
This good mood doesn't look like a faux pas, firstly, her appetite is much better than Yuyin expected, and secondly, she still has "Yaxing" to eat by herself, Hey Mingjing...

Ming Jing was fed up with her. After eating a ball, she looked at her cousin in front of her, and sat next to Yu Yin. After thinking about it, she leaned down next to Yu Yin's ear and asked her in a very low voice: " Concubine mother, is sister still in trouble?"

However, how can a seven or eight-year-old child whisper?She thought she was quiet, but Xi Yao could still hear clearly.

So Xi Yao lowered her head and threw Longjing shrimp from the table in front of her to her mouth, and said leisurely, "Sister, you are not sad, don't worry."

Ming Jing: "..."

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and Yu Yin poked Ming Jing's waist with her finger, motioning her to ask.

Ming Jing went back to Xi Yao's side again, looked her up and asked: "Sister, what's the matter with you and the elder brother in the palace? Father, mother, concubine and uncle are all worried about you, please tell me. "

"It's nothing." Xi Yao lightly shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "My sister is getting married, are you happy?"

what……

Ming Jing was stunned for a moment, and her mouth flattened: "Unhappy! Big sister is already married, why do you want to!"

Her eyes turned red all of a sudden, when Yu Yin, who was still considering the matter between Xi Yao and the eldest son of the emperor, saw her, he quickly took her over and patted her in his arms to coax her.Ming Jing was very sad, because she was not happy that her sisters were getting married, so she wiped her tears and nestled in Yu Yin's arms without saying a word.

Yu Yin also frowned and looked at Xi Yao: "What's going on, you should explain in detail. The eldest son of the emperor promised to marry you?"

"No." Xi Yao shook her head, "But it's better than agreeing to marry me."

Better than agreeing to marry her?Yu Yin didn't understand for a while, and asked: "What's the matter?"

Xi Yao smiled: "He said he likes me too."

Yu Yin took a light breath.

In that moment, she could fully understand and consider Xi Yao's girlish thoughts, and she even... hoped that the two of them could really be together, but at the same time, she felt that this was too bad. up.

"Your father is very angry." Yu Yin took a breath and shook his head, "Let him rest easy."

Xi Yao froze, and continued to pick up the shrimps.

The room fell silent for a moment, and when Meng Junhuai came in, he said that there was some unhappiness between them.

"How is Xiyao?" He asked while keeping winking at Yuyin, before Yuyin could speak, Xiyao took the lead and said, "It's okay, I'm fine."

Then she put down her chopsticks, looked at Meng Junhuai and looked at Yuyin again: "Auntie, you said you would save my father from worrying, but you were the one who agreed to let me enter the palace... I want to understand first, you Do you think I am right, or the family is right?"

"I..." Yuyin got stuck and could only say, "I think you are right, but the family also..."

"But the family is really for my own good, I know that." Xi Yao looked at them seriously, "But only I know if I am happy or not, and I am the only one who can be responsible for my life. I You should be filial to your parents, but after all I don’t live for them, right?”

"That's not bad." Yu Yin nodded, and Xi Yao said again: "So I'm making plans for myself now, and I've thought about it seriously. I'm willing to bear all the consequences, whether it's sweet or bitter. You Can you stand by my side?"

She looked at Yuyin very solemnly and sincerely, the light in her bright eyes made her tremble.

She was a little surprised that Yu Xiyao didn't even turn a corner with this request, and then felt that this method seemed familiar.

——She herself is like this too.When her relationship with Meng Junhuai was not so stable, there would be many problems that she needed to solve.She could tell him plainly to discuss with him, or she could bypass him and use secret means because she was worried that he would be unhappy.

But she always felt that it would be better to have more trust. Most of the time, she would tell him frankly, or even though she had done something first—such as punishing the side concubine, she would not deliberately hide it. Instead, he explained the whole story to him after he saw it.

He never let her down without knowing right from wrong, which made her feel pleasantly surprised and sweet at that time.But to this day, apart from that surprise and sweetness, what impressed her the most was how she felt at that time.

——At that time, she not only hoped for more trust between their husband and wife, but also she was willing to give Meng Junhuai a trust.And if this trust doesn't get the expected response the first time, she probably won't do it later.

Now Xi Yao gave her this trust.

Yu Yin pondered for a while, then nodded: "Okay, Auntie will help you, as long as you know what kind of life you may live in the future."

"Yu Yin?!" Meng Junhuai was a little surprised, just about to persuade her, but saw Xi Yao leaning back on the pillow behind her with a breathless smile, and let out a depressed look.

He held back his persuasion for now, looked at Yuyin and then at Xiyao: "What are you going to do?"

"I thought about it..." Xi Yaoyi smiled leisurely there, "Uncle, do you have any acquaintances in the Hanlin Academy? Or storytellers on the street...I want to ask them for help!"

Yuyin and Meng Junhuai calmed down and asked her about her plan seriously. They looked at each other with a bit of surprise, and they both felt strangely that it seemed feasible...?
That night, Prince Consort Mansion.

Ever since the paper on the window was punctured, Meng Yujing never went back to her room without seeing An Liao at night.

She couldn't sleep by herself, so she found An Liao's ghost story and read it. She yawned as she read it until she saw An Liao come in.

Yu Jing stopped her yawn, and An Liao just raised her eyes to see it, and said guiltily, "I missed your rest."

"It's okay." Yu Jing yawned again and waved her hands, "You and those friends haven't seen each other for a while, so naturally you should talk more, I'm not sleepy... ah..."

Before he finished speaking, he yawned again.

Doesn't that mean you're sleepy?
An Liao sneered and sat down on the side of the couch, embraced his wife, and explained: "They still have some serious business. It is said that someone wanted to read the script and went to the Hanlin Academy, but they dare not write the script, and they don't know how to write it. Dare to offend, so I want to ask me for an idea."

After all, he has the identity of a son-in-law.

What kind of matter should ask the court consort to make up his mind...?
Yu Jing raised her spirits and sat up to ask, An Liao said, "Because this script...is a story about the love between a man and a woman, and the protagonist in the story is His Royal Highness the eldest son."

"Hey, are you crazy?" Yu Jing lay back lazily, "Just don't write, brother is going to die for editing?"

"Then guess who asked for this?" An Liao stared at her.

Yu Jing frowned: "Who?"

"One of Miss Xie's family, the niece of Princess Yi, who was a companion to Lord Jingning when she was young in Prince Yi's mansion."

Yu Jing was taken aback.

"The person who was sent to the Imperial Academy was the eunuch next to Prince Yi. He said that although this is a written script, none of the things written are false, so they don't have to worry about it." An Liao said, "Guess what's in the story?"

"What?" Yu Jing, who was already interested, said immediately.

But An Liao didn't say it directly, just looked at her with a smile as if deliberately teasing her appetite.Yu Jing had to think for herself first, she racked her brains along the common development trend in the storybook, and asked hesitantly with surprise: "She and her brother's childhood sweetheart...?"

"Pfft." An Liao snorted, "That's not true, don't you know about your brother's childhood sweetheart?"

"What's that!" Yu Jing was anxious, got up again, and threw herself on him, while her actions were arrogant, but her tone was playing tricks, "Say it quickly! I'm so sleepy, I can't stand it anymore! "

"Okay, let me tell you..." An Liao hugged her with a smile, straightened his face, and said, "I saw in the story that the eldest son of the emperor gave her a box of handkerchiefs made in Jiangsu. The topic of February Flowers, isn’t this what you found for Your Highness before?”

"Ah!" Yu Jing exclaimed.

Not only did she find it for her brother, but her brother asked her to find it on his own initiative.Later, my brother also admitted that he fell in love with a girl, and he liked it so much that he couldn't let it go, so he had to force himself to forget her by using the selection of the princess.

The co-author is Miss Xie Jia?I can't blame my brother for being in Qingyuan a few days ago!

Now that Miss Xie's family is asking for this storybook on her own initiative, is it because she also likes brother?

Yu Jing turned over with joy and got off the couch, stepped on her embroidered shoes hastily and walked to the desk.

"Yu Jing...?" An Liao was taken aback, "What are you doing?"

Yu Jing has already picked up Xuanshuang on the desk: "Grind ink for you."

An Liao was still puzzled: "What are you doing researching ink?"

"Hurry up and help her write the script, you are good at it!" Yu Jing's tone was anxious and frank.

An Liao: "..."

He's good at this, but it's almost midnight now? !

He is also sleepy!

"Can you go to bed first?" the consort asked the princess hesitantly.

The princess backed down gently: "Then make an outline first?"
