The little lady in the palace

Chapter 190
Meng Junhuai frowned: "Say it."

Tan Yu made up his mind: "Master, she... When I first met her, she was not what she is now."

Meng Junhuai did not speak, and waited quietly for the next sentence.

"In the beginning... Lord Weng always had a lot of worries." Tan Yu knelt there and stared at the ground, recalling the past, she couldn't help laughing, "At that time, she was even nervous when she broke a cup in front of us."

Meng Junhuai nodded: "Over the past year or so, her temperament has changed a lot."

"She just got happy..." Tan Yu raised his head suddenly, and met Prince Yi's gaze, and he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know what to say.

He seemed to just want Prince Yi to know that Lan Jing was unhappy in the past, but now she just got better, if she just married someone she didn't like, she might fall back to the previous situation.

He wanted to say that she still had at least a few decades to live, if she was depressed all the time, what a hopeless day it would be...

But the moment he looked at Prince Yi, all words were choked by him.He suddenly realized how ridiculous it was for these words to come out of his own mouth.

The person in front of him was Lan Jing's father, if he cared about these things, he would not hastily marry Lan Jing to someone he didn't like.Now that the trouble has come to this point, it just proves that in his eyes, reputation is more important than Lan Jing.

Meng Junhuai looked at his silence indifferently, wondering what he was thinking when he choked all of a sudden, waited a while and saw that he still hadn't continued, so he asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"I..." Tan Yu was stunned, and gave a wry smile, "I want to say that since His Highness just doesn't want anything to do with the Weng Lord and the humble position, why bother the Weng Lord? Just dismiss the humble position."

Meng Junhuai's eyebrows twitched: "What are you thinking?"

Tan Yu was shuddered by his question.

Meng Junhuai got up and paced back and forth: "I said I wanted to find Lan Jing's husband's house, and you thought I would wrong her? Then who do you think will not let her be wronged, do you?"

The sullenness in his mouth was obvious, Tan Yu panicked a little, and hurriedly said: "The humble job doesn't mean that, the humble job just listens to the Lord Weng..."

"She said that as long as I spare your life, she will marry someone if she wants to go back to Beijing, I know." Meng Junhuai looked at him coldly, "It's because she cares about you. You think I will make my own daughter wronged because of you, do you think Who are you?"

"Your Highness, I..." Tan Yu anxiously wanted to explain, but opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

He actually didn't mean it that way, but after hearing what Prince Yi said, he himself doubted in a daze that he seemed to mean it.

but……

He was really just worried that Prince Yi would agree to Lan Jing's words, spare his life and marry her.He's just worried about it.

"Your Highness..." Tan Yu's face turned pale, but he couldn't explain it. After hesitating for a while, he bowed again, "Your Highness, forgive me."

"Get out." Meng Junhuai uttered a word in a cold voice, turned around and sat down in front of the case, but when he fixed his eyes, he saw that Tan Yu seemed to want to stand up but couldn't use the strength.

He asked someone to come in and help him up without a good face, and Tan Yu left, but after a while, he suddenly heard a series of exclamations from outside: "Hey, hey... Come on! Someone help!"

Meng Junhuai froze, and Ah Li, who reacted faster, rushed out the door to check first, and saw Tan Yu passed out in the corridor, coughing unconsciously with frowning brows, and a mouthful of blood flowed out when he coughed.

The sudden change spread to the back house, Yuyin rushed to Lan Jing's residence without thinking, and when she opened the door, she saw that Lan Jing was already crying.

She took Lan Jing to Meng Junhuai's study room, dragged Meng Junhuai outside without saying anything in front of Lan Jing: "He's hurt like that, why are you still punishing him..."

"I didn't punish him...!" Meng Junhuai also felt dizzy, and explained, "I told him to get up at the beginning, but he didn't get up. I didn't realize that he couldn't get up."

Yu Yin: "..."

She glanced sideways at Lan Jing who was guarding the narrow couch in the inner room, lowered her voice, and asked, "Why did he come here? Is it because of Lan Jing?"

"Yes." Meng Junhuai sighed in response, and sat on the chair next to him, propping his forehead in silence.

He was wondering if what he said was too mean, which made Tan Yu anxious?
When he heard Tan Yu say that, he was really angry, who did he think this kid was?To point fingers at their father-daughter relationship?It's amazing to drink the porridge made by Lan Jing...?
But after he calmed down and thought about it later, he also understood that Tan Yu was just caring and causing chaos.

Tan Yu was too worried that Lan Jing would be wronged, and only wanted to stop him quickly, so he came here with injuries all over his body, and probably didn't think too much before coming.

Besides, from the perspective of a father, he thought that he would never wrong Lan Jing, but Tan Yu, as Lan Jing's bodyguard, saw that he spent much less time with Lan Jing than with Ming Jing.

If you think so, Tan Yu is also interested in Lan Jing.Otherwise, as long as he was more concerned, he would not say these words at the risk of offending him.

Meng Junhuai felt agitated in his heart, and sighed: "This child... has a good character."

He has a good character, but he has no choice but to share a family background that is too low, and has suffered a lot of injuries, so that he, the prince, does not know how to promote him.If not, he would be happy to see Lan Jing marrying him. In three to five years, he will always treat Lan Jing sincerely. After a long time, even if he doesn't have the friendship he had when he was young, as Lan Jing is the old master, he will also treat Lan Jing well. I can only hold her.

"I'm going out for a walk, if you're okay, why don't you wait here a little longer?" Meng Junhuai asked Yu Yin.

Yu Yin nodded: "Don't worry, I will accompany Lan Jing."

After that, Meng Junhuai was not seen for more than two hours.When the sun was setting, Tan Yu woke up, she panicked when she saw where she was, and she was even more stunned when she fixed her eyes and saw Yu Yin again: "Princess..."

Yu Yin, who was reading a book, made a silent gesture, walked to the side of the couch and said, "Lan Jing has been crying since she came here. I was afraid that she would cry badly, so I sent her to watch the medicine for you, just outside. .”

Then, under Tan Yu's astonished gaze, Yu Yin sat down: "The relationship between the two of you...isn't it Lan Jing's wishful thinking?"

She felt sure not.If it was Lan Jing's wishful thinking, and Tan Yu came to see him even though he was injured, it could only be understood as "loyalty"—then his level of loyalty is enough for literati to remember!

But Tan Yu didn't admit it, he was silent for a while and said: "The princess is paranoid, and she has no inappropriate thoughts in her lowly position. The Lord is... always kind-hearted."

Who believes this?

Yu Yinxin said, do you think that I have never experienced these little thoughts of love between children?

She gave a light smile with complicated emotions and didn't comment. Seeing that Tan Yu looked good, she called Lan Jing in and let them talk.

Yu Yin felt that no matter how far they could go, it was useless to suppress this feeling now.It's better to calmly do whatever you want, so that even if Lan Jing is going to marry someone else after a while, Lan Jing will have less regrets in her heart.

But what surprised her was that Meng Junhuai also suddenly took care of Tan Yu...?
He let Tan Yu keep it in the study if he said it, so as not to hurt him more if he moved; he also postponed the meeting with the girl from the Lin family, and told Ah Li, the elder brother, to take care of Lan Jing and Lan Jing. Tan Yu, anyway, the marriage with the Lin family is not in a hurry for two days.

In this way, not only Tan Yu was trembling, but a group of children were also confused.

Ming Jing leaned over to her ear curiously and asked her if she was going to call Tan Yu her brother-in-law in the future!

Yu Yin grabbed her and patted her lightly: "Don't think about it, if there is such a thing, the father, the queen, the mother and the concubine will naturally tell you!"

Isn't it...?
Ming Jing curled her lips, feeling that the mother concubine was deliberately hiding it from her, so she turned her face and ran to the study to ask Tan Yu!
"Brother Tan, am I going to call you brother-in-law from now on?" As soon as she said this, Tan Yuren, who was taking medicine, couldn't bear it and spit out a mouthful!
Then he wiped his mouth uneasily, and looked at the little girl standing in front of him who looked at him seriously with a look of horror on his face: "My lord, who told you this...?"

"I guessed it myself." Ming Jing said, touching the handkerchief for him to wipe her mouth, and patiently explained, "My brothers said that the second sister likes you, and you treat the second sister very well, don't you Want to marry her?"

"My Lord, please don't..." Tan Yu was halfway through speaking, when Yu Guangshou saw the person walking in, his breath suddenly became weak, "Nonsense..."

Lan Jing naturally heard her sister's words, looked at Ming Jing and then at him, and handed over the envelope in her hand: "Father asked me to give you this."

"This is...?" Tan Yu was puzzled, and Lan Jing shook her head: "I don't know. He said he would come over later and let you see what's inside first."

Tan Yu was at a loss.

In the middle of Beijing, the bedroom in the main courtyard of the eldest son's mansion is warm and cozy.

They had just moved out of the palace, and according to the rules, they had to hold a banquet for relatives and friends to congratulate them.It was the New Year's Eve again, this banquet should be more grand, both of them wrote a lot of posts and handed them out.

Then they all got busy. The men's replies from each mansion were sent to Meng Shijin, and the women's family members handed them to Xi Yao. From these replies, they could know which mansions would come and how many people would come, and then arrange the banquet accordingly. .

Xi Yao wrote down a few names in the booklet after reading one, and then opened the next one, frowning: "Did you also post to the Guo family?"

There is only one wealthy family with the surname Guo in Beijing, and the reason for their prosperity is the birth of a princess from Qianyi County.Xi Yao, the niece of the current Prince Yi, is placed here, so it's really strange to invite people from the Guo family...

Meng Shiying was also a little perplexed when she heard her question, so she leaned over to have a look, and said with a smile: "Mr. Mother."

A guard's mother...?
Xi Yao was startled: "Why did you invite her?"

"Well, this... Sixth Uncle's letter didn't make it clear, but Zuo just wanted to flatter him, and there were only two reasons." Meng Shijin said.

Xi Yao asked again: "Which two?"

"One is that he is indeed talented and learned. Sixth Uncle thinks he is useful to the country." Meng Shijin pulled up a stool and sat beside her, took away the brush from her hand, and rubbed her hands while talking.

Xi Yao wrote the post for most of the day, and her hands were really sore and uncomfortable.After being rubbed by him, he completely relaxed, leaned on his shoulder and said lazily: "Probably not. Uncle has Jinyiwei in his hands, wouldn't it be better to put him directly in Jinyiwei to practice?"

"If it's not this, then it's..." Meng Shijin paused and laughed, "It's probably one of your cousins ​​who has taken a fancy to him."

"...?" Xi Yao's bright eyes that were about to close were startled, and she looked at him in shock, "This is also impossible!"

"Huh? Why is this impossible?" Meng Shijin raised his eyebrows and looked at her, his smile was obviously arguing, and his tone was still slow, "Even if it is true, she is not the most stupid person from Prince Yi's mansion." girl."

Xi Yao: "..."

"You think I'm stupid?" She stared at him and leaned closer to his ear, "What would you say if I gave you a stupid child?"

"If you..." Meng Shiying's smiling expression froze suddenly.

He looked into Shang Xiyao's eyes with trepidation, seeing that the meaning in her smiling eyes was definitely more than just joking.

"Xi Yao...?" He was so astonished that he trembled.

And she pursed her lips and smiled.
