The little lady in the palace

Chapter 2 Director
When Meng Junhuai came out of the main courtyard of the princess, it felt like stepping back to the world from the empty door.

He took a deep breath and ordered: "Let the dining room put soup dumplings on the drawer."

Yang Enlu answered "Yes", pretending not to know the reason, but the slander in his heart couldn't be stopped - this new princess is too pure-hearted!
During the conversation, King Yijun always said a lot, and she deserved less. It can be considered that she is not familiar with the mansion, so she can only listen to his arrangements, but she also mentioned at least twice, "Why don't you please?" The two side concubines come to discuss together?"——Yang Enlu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and then looked at King Yijun, his calm expression also showed a bit of complexity.

At that time, he really wanted to say: Princess, now is not the time for you to push other women towards His Highness!
Besides, when dinner is served.

According to the rules, as the princess of the county, there should be four meat and four vegetables on the dining table, plus two cold dishes and one soup.It's not a big deal to have a preference in taste and occasionally want to make a slight adjustment in the kitchen, but today on her dining table...

The two cold dishes are cold lettuce, spinach and peanuts, and the soup is mushroom soup with almost no oil flowers.Then one of the hot dishes is half-meat and half-vegetarian Stir-Fried Pork with Wild Rice Bamboo, followed by vinegared cabbage, vermicelli parsley, mushroom and rapeseed, vegetarian fried shepherd's purse, cucumber scrambled eggs, hot pepper fried bean sprouts, and boiled Chinese kale.

Seven vegetarian dishes, a green table, Yang Enlu looked at them and then looked at the princess sitting next to him, especially wanted to say: Princess, you have to prick your ears up for this way of eating!
Hey rabbit!

But the county prince didn't say anything, let alone his turn.Seeing that the county prince finished his dinner sullenly, Yang Enlu reckoned in his heart that he would have to prepare some meat for tonight's supper.

- isn't it?As soon as he came out of the main courtyard, he himself called Guan Tang Bao.

Meng Junhuai didn't know that the eunuch beside him was about to write a cross talk book in his belly, so he was thinking about business without saying a word.

Just now I didn't enjoy the meal, but if I say that I am dissatisfied with the princess because of this, it would not be so.He knew that she had just entered the mansion, and he wanted to let her get used to it slowly, so that she could get used to all kinds of unfamiliar things slowly.

However, with the New Year just around the corner, we had to make other arrangements.

There are many rules in the New Year, and there are many etiquettes inside and outside the palace. Once something goes wrong, it is possible to be ashamed for a while, and it is possible to cause big trouble.

After weighing it for a while, King Yi stopped, and said, "Go to You Shi."

Yang Enlu bowed and said "yes", and secretly gestured to the back. Immediately, a young eunuch hurried away to inform Youshi to make preparations.

Youshi is one of the two side concubines of Yijun Palace.When King Yijun was 15 years old, the emperor bestowed a marriage on him and the Guo family, and You Shi was one of the people who granted him a marriage earlier and welcomed his wife into the mansion as a concubine.But at that time, she was just a little lady of the bottom class, and she was carried to the seat of side concubine after giving birth to her eldest son more than two years ago.

Counting it, she was brought into the mansion five years earlier than Xie Yu. When the emperor decreed to abolish the Guo family, everyone in the mansion thought that it was the You family who had been righted. Unexpectedly, the emperor came from the noble girl who was waiting to be married in Beijing. Choose one for the king of Yijun.

Right now, King Yijun went to look for the side concubine as soon as he came out of the new princess' room, which made Yang Enlu feel a little bit guilty.As he served in this position, not only was he able to clearly understand the apparent superiority and inferiority of the mansion, but he also had to understand the actual superiority and inferiority.

So when he arrived at Concubine You's yard, he found a place close to the window and waited.First, people can hear clearly inside, and second, the meaning of the county prince can also be gleaned from the conversation.

Youshi is one year younger than Yijun Wang, and after the end of the new year, he counts as twenty, and he was born delicate and charming.She gave a blessing with a smile on her face, King Yijun gave her a hand, and the two sat down.

Meng Junhuai took a sip of tea, and cut straight to the point: "New Year's is coming soon. The concubine has just entered the mansion, and she is younger. You can help her arrange the New Year's affairs, and talk to her about the affairs between the various mansions, so as not to make mistakes."

You Shi replied "Yes", moved his body and sat down on the embroidered pier that separated the two of them, and blinked a smile: "I guess this year's job will fall on me, and I will definitely not be able to escape leisurely. I just made a bet with Sister He in the afternoon, ten taels of silver!"

Meng Junhuai raised his eyebrows and kept a straight face: "So He's lost money? Then I have to make up for her."

As he spoke, he was about to get up, but Youshi didn't panic, and called "Master" softly to pull him back, and sat on his lap.

Then she wrapped her arms around his neck and said narrowly: "Why don't you give this job to Sister He, and I am willing to lose this money, okay?"

Meng Junhuai smiled without saying a word, glanced at the account books spread out on the desk, and knew that she was not idle today.His hand stroked her waist to her neck, and rubbed her neck with three points of strength.

Youshi closed his eyes and said lazily, "Well... I won't change any more than ten taels!"

Meng Junhuai didn't stop his hands, and laughed steadily: "Where can you be so jealous? When did I lose you?"

"Tch." You Shi narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Master, you know that I don't like to be jealous, but isn't this a little beauty added to your main courtyard? Me, I'm afraid you've forgotten me!"

She put her hands on her chest to express her worry, but before she finished speaking, she felt that the hand pinching her neck suddenly stopped.

Youshi opened his eyes and looked at him suspiciously, Meng Junhuai's expression was light: "She is the concubine."

You Shi was taken aback.

"In the past, Guo Shiyuan was not a kind person, so you can just compete with her." Meng Junhuai's tone became more and more blunt, "Now the princess has never provoked you, you have to respect her no matter what you say or what you think. .”

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Although Concubine You was still sitting on his lap, her body was stiff.With such an ambiguous posture, it is hard to reproduce any ambiguous feeling.

In the end, Meng Junhuai breathed a sigh of relief: "Go and see Ah Li."

The cold atmosphere didn't slow down because of this sentence, and the little prince fell asleep again, saying that there was nothing to see.King Yijun stayed at Concubine You's place at night, but Yang Enlu watched carefully...

I didn't say a few words all night, and the lights went dark soon after washing.

Yang Enlu pondered over the words of the prince of the county several times, and he felt emotional in his heart: Tsk, my master is really different from that tenth master.He dotes on Youshi to favor Youshi, and if he intentionally said this, he made it clear that he didn't like to see his concubine kill his wife!
Yang Enlu savored this taste, then looked at the darkened room, and he grasped the meaning of the county prince in his heart.As for whether this Youshi, who has never been a good stubble, can swallow this breath, and whether he is willing to respect the concubine in peace and contentment, it has nothing to do with their current people.

I don't know if it's because Yang Enlu talked about Shi Ye in his mind when he was thinking about something. Early the next morning, when he returned to the study in front with Yi Jun Wang, the concierge sent him the post of the Ten Prince's Mansion.

The eunuch bowed his head and bowed his head: "Master Yang, look, this is two letters handed over in one breath - one is from the Tenth Highness to our Highness, and the other is from Side Concubine Liu to see our princess."

Yang Enlu got a headache when he heard the word "Shi Ye".

Seven or eight months ago, the Yijun King hadn't reached the crown yet, nor did he have the title of a county king. He was just the sixth prince who left the palace to build a mansion.It was also a coincidence that the concubine of the Sixth Prince's Mansion murdered her son and the Tenth Prince's Mansion favored a concubine and killed her wife. This made the two princes laughing stock in Beijing.

The sixth prince stayed behind closed doors for a while, wanting to wait for the limelight to pass.But what about the tenth prince... I don't know what he was thinking, he felt that he and the sixth brother were "sick and sympathetic", and ran to the mansion every three days to complain to his sixth brother.

It's not good for the sixth prince to see his younger brother, but every time there is an obvious "annoyance" on his face!
Fortunately, although this matter is embarrassing, it did not delay the sixth prince and the title of the county king after the crown, otherwise...

Yang Enlu sneered to cut off his thoughts, and then looked at the post in front of him, not intending to accept the hot potato.

He put his hands together and yawned: "Send it in."

"Hey! Yes!" The eunuch who sent the post deserved it straightforwardly, while cursing in his heart: Yang Enlu, you are a grandson who sees the wind!
After the post was sent in, Prince Yi took it and opened it, frowning as soon as he scanned the signature.The eunuch dared not take a breath and peeked at him, thinking that if this happened early in the morning, he would have to charge Yang Enlu for it.

Meng Junhuai didn't pay attention to the eunuch next to him. He read the letter sent by the tenth brother and then read the other one. He also looked at the signature first. After reading it, his brows became tighter: the tenth brother is attached to him!
It stands to reason that he could just suppress this post by Concubine Liu and not mention it.The reason is ready-made. According to the rules on the surface, most of the people who walk with the princess are the princesses, princes, or wives of officials' families; The wife climbs up.

But when he thinks about it, it's not easy for the tenth brother to do this - after the incident of "doting concubine and destroying wife", didn't the concubine in his house ask to abolish her position?Now his main courtyard is empty...

He wants to lift Liu Shi up?

Meng Junhuai stopped at this thought.This is a matter for his wife, he intends to hand over the post directly to Xie Yuyin to see what she thinks.

It's okay for Yujian to meet Liu Shi or not. If the tenth brother really wants to raise Liu Shi's identity, if he doesn't help him, he will find someone else to build the steps, and it's fine if he refuses.

This kind of trivial matter is just used to let the new princess practice her skills.Meng Junhuai thought about it, and took the post to the main courtyard.

In the main courtyard, Xie Yuyin had just copied half of the scriptures before sitting in the case, when two eunuchs entered the room one after another.

She put down her pen and looked up, the first one said: "Princess, Concubine You side please see me."

The one who entered the room said: "Princess, Your Highness is coming."
