The little lady in the palace

Chapter 205
The death-like silence in the bedroom made Youshi want to escape.Then she glanced outside inadvertently, only to see that all the servants waiting in the courtyard had been watched.

Meng Junhuai ignored her expression, sat down beside Luo Han's bed, and looked at her: "Did you say it yourself, or should I ask?"

Youshi poked at the side, not daring to say a word.

"Okay, then let me ask." Meng Junhuai's expression was indifferent, "How did you buy the dining room person? Is it coercion or temptation?"

"Master..." Youshi's voice trembled more and more, while avoiding his gaze, he asked him, "What are you talking about..."

He said again: "Do you hate Yuyin so much? She has been married to me for 15 years and has never made things difficult for you or your children. Why on earth do you hate her so much?"

"I don't understand what you mean." Youshi lowered her head firmly, and the next moment, she turned around and wanted to go out, "I'll go see Ah Qi first..."

"Stop!" Meng Junhuai shouted.

Youshi froze his feet, his breath was unstable, and finally he couldn't hold on any longer.

She turned around and knelt down: "I... I know I was wrong, I didn't attack the princess! I just, I just..."

She thought that she just killed Xiangying in the end, and argued strongly: "I just don't want that bitch surnamed Luo to kill Ah Qi again! Look at what Ah Qi has become now, it's all because of her!"

"I can argue with you about Ah Qi and Luo Shi, but dare you say that you didn't want to touch the princess?" Meng Junhuai glanced sideways at her, "You bought seven or eight of the more than thirty people in the dining room, such a big battle , just for Roche?"

As a side concubine, it is not difficult for her to harm Xiangying, and there is no need to go to war like this.Meng Junhuai has been in charge of Jinyiwei for several years, and most of the cases he has handled are equal in effort and purpose.

"Do you know why Ah Qi went to the main courtyard to drink like that? Do you think he wants to protect the princess? He wants to protect you!" Meng Junhuai couldn't help clenching his teeth until his mouth hurt, "You're innocent Make trouble, have you thought about the children!"

"You can only blame me for causing trouble!"

For some reason, You Shi suddenly became angry, which made Meng Junhuai stunned.

Youshi glared at him: "Have you ever thought about your child? I know you like Xie Yuyin. She comes from a better family background and has a stronger temper than me, but Ah Li and Aqi are no worse than her child! Her child She raised a son before she was ignorant, but what's wrong with Ah Li! Now that she's pushing Ah Qi out, they deserve to be humbled by a concubine like me, right?"

"You..." Meng Junhuai was stunned by what she said, and for a moment he didn't know where to start to refute.

He frowned and stared at You Shi for a long time before finally saying: "You are really unreasonable!"

Youshi bit his lower lip, but didn't respond.

"Go out and inquire, but if there are sons in the mansion, are all the sons given to the sons? The princess told you this truth!" Meng Junhuai argued briefly, heaved a sigh, and said, "Even if there is no son, Whoever will be the son is up to me. Come to me if you are unhappy! What is the reason for writing it on Yu Yintou!"

Youshi is obviously a tree.

"You blame Aqi for her mistakes, do you still have a conscience?" Meng Junhuai said in a heavy tone, "I didn't teach Aqi well, blame you and me, but she has nothing to do with it! But go to Bada Hutong to clean up this mess It's her!"

When Meng Junhuai thought of this, he felt ashamed.

In fact, there are many other things like this, and he often feels that he has caused too much trouble for Yuyin.It is true that it is not up to him to marry her, and before marrying her, he could never have expected that he would be a couple with her for the rest of his life, but these prerequisites are not a reason for him to feel at ease about everything.

Therefore, no matter how good the relationship with Yuyin is, Meng Junhuai still has a knot in his heart, and he will think "this time, don't cause trouble for Yuyin for nothing".

——But it seemed that the more he thought about it, the more he would trouble Yuyin with all kinds of things, big or small!

He was very annoyed in his heart, he waited for a long time before calming down, and said with a livid face: "You just admit that you did it, I will go to the palace tomorrow morning, I ask the emperor's wife to make a decision!"

"Don't!" Youshi yelled in horror, walking forward on his knees, his voice sounded heart-piercing, "I know I was wrong! I dare not! Lord, for the sake of Ah Li and Ah Qi..."

"For the sake of Ah Li and Ah Qi, I will protect you from losing your life!" Meng Junhuai suppressed her voice, "If you don't poison the concubine, you will die. You'd better understand the seriousness, and don't ask for anything else!"

After saying that, he really didn't have the patience to pester her any more, so he got up and walked around her to leave.

He thought, no matter what, she could not be allowed to continue to be a side concubine.Probably due to years of estrangement, he can no longer understand Youshi's thoughts at all, nor can he judge whether she will do other absurd things in the future.

Whether it's for Yuyin or Ah Li and Ah Qi, there must be a break now.If you wait until the day when Youshi must be killed, Ah Li and Aqi may only turn against each other if they don't want to turn against the main courtyard.

This is the evil result left over from his past, and it will only get worse and worse if it is allowed to develop, he has to end it here by himself.

Too bad...!
Meng Junhuai was so annoyed that he couldn't help thinking in some strange directions.

For example... why is there a rule in the palace that when a prince marries a wife, he will be given a few concubines!
He was also stupid at the time, and left according to the rules without thinking twice.Look at the present, isn't Meng Shijin, the eldest son of the emperor, exempted from this matter?Why didn't he remember it back then?
Why do men take concubines?Why bother?

Ok?It doesn't seem right...

If he hadn't taken a concubine at the beginning, there would have been no incident of the Guo family killing the concubine; if the Guo family hadn't killed the concubine, he would not have been abolished, and he would not have encountered Yu Yin.

Think about it this way...

Meng Junhuai's mood became complicated.

In the main courtyard, after Meng Junhuai left, Yuyin didn't dare to stay in front of Ah Qi, she really couldn't bear to see Ah Qi like that.

This situation is really too difficult for Aqi.It's no wonder that Ah Qi knew that You Shi was at fault and wanted to intercede. If she were Ah Qi, she probably could only do so.

Youshi is annoying, but she can't say that Youshi is not a good mother.At present, it seems that at least Ah Li and Ah Qi are good. Although they have not lived with Youshi in the front house in recent years, it cannot be said that Youshi's teachings to them were not unaffected when they were children.

Therefore, it is impossible for Ah Qi to have no relationship with You Shi.Ah Qi's current reaction of desperately wanting to protect his mother is quite normal, but this matter is too difficult to handle.

Yuyin wanted to spare Youshi once, so as not to make Ah Li and Ah Qi feel bad, but she was also afraid that Youshi would be confused again and attack A Zuo and the others.

She planned to wait for Meng Junhuai to come back to discuss with him if there is a perfect solution, but he has been silent since he returned to the main courtyard.

Yuyin let him be quiet first, and read the newly presented confession first.Then he had to admit in shock that Youshi really spent a lot of money this time!
The servants in the dining room who were bought by her each took 1000 taels of silver. According to the confession of Youshi's maidservant, Youshi even took out the dowry.

A total of 8000 taels is enough to cover the expenses of the entire royal palace for the next year. If it is placed among the people, it will allow a family to live with ample food and clothing for thousands of years...

Can't blame them for being willing to do such a deadly job.After all, the errands of the dining room are not in front of the masters. Although Yuyin takes care of it on weekdays, the benefits they can get are still not comparable to Shanhu Zhao Chengrui and the others.No one would spend as much money as You Shi to buy people's hearts to guard against such extreme things—even if they could buy people like that, they would have to buy the whole family once to be safe!
In addition, they never get along with any master day and night, and the word "loyalty" will inevitably become a phantom.When Youshi found them, he had picked the right one.

Yu Yin turned to the last page, and saw that "all sticks are dead" was written in the blank space, and she could only sigh.She returned the confession to Yang Enlu, then looked at Meng Junhuai, and saw that he was still silent.

He sat beside Luohan's bed, leaning his elbows on the couch table, resting his forehead with his hands, and didn't move for a long time.

"Jun Huai?" Yu Yin went over and pushed him, and seeing that he was not in good spirits, she felt that it was okay to let Youshi's matter go, so she just said, "Go to bed early, it's almost dawn."

He sighed deeply, and remained silent for a long time, but said: "Let's add two house rules."

Yu Yin: "...?"

Although it is often said that "state-owned, state-owned, and family-owned have their own rules", the rules of the prince's mansions in Beijing are actually similar.The princes all grew up in the palace when they were young, and their understanding of right and wrong, black and white, etiquette and rules is not very different, and the rules are all the same set of conventions.

Now he suddenly said that he added two for what...?
Yuyin looked at him puzzled, Meng Junhuai thought for a while, and said: "First, for children from our lineage, boys who are not regular wives and have no children cannot take concubines... Of course, girls can't raise faces either. Otherwise From Prince Ren Yi to report to the palace, remove the clan."

Yu Yin: "..."

Was he... stimulated by You Shi?

But there's nothing wrong with that either.She thought for a while, then asked again: "Then what if the wife chosen by the family is not what they like?"

Meng Junhuai smirked, looked at her and said, "Second rule, when getting engaged, what they like comes first."

Yu Yin: "..."

She didn't know how to react, he looked at her for a while, and frowned: "What expression do you have?"

"Ah...no." Yu Yin nodded and cleared her throat, "It's pretty good, it's good like this. Let's live in harmony, and everything is going well with family harmony!"

Meng Junhuai smiled lightly.

Then she felt a little distressed, and felt that his sudden statement of this must have made Youshi very irritated.Sighing secretly, she sat beside him and persuaded: "Don't be angry. Youshi is like this, the tip of the bull's horn gets deeper and deeper, and if you can't get out, you cause a big disaster... There are few people like her, you don't have to. Too worried."

"Yeah." Meng Junhuai nodded, took her hand and squeezed it, and sighed, "I will go to the palace tomorrow and ask for an order to abolish her and let her go back to You's house. The next concubine's room... Mrs. He moved to follow her." Let’s not talk about Lan Jing living together, let’s see if I can convince Brother Huang to let me dismiss the others.”

Separation together? !Make such a big fuss? !

Yu Yin was taken aback by him, and before she could react, she suddenly heard the door of the room being knocked open, and said, "Father!"

The two were startled, they looked together and saw both A Li and A Qi standing pale a few steps away.

The room was silent for a while, and Ah Li took off his clothes and knelt down first: "I beg my father and mother to forgive my concubine, now you let her go back to You's house... It's like forcing her to death!"

"A Li." Meng Junhuai took a deep breath, "Your concubine's poisoning the concubine is already a serious crime, do you think it's possible to ignore it?"

"I just ask the father to keep her position!" A Li's words were sonorous and forceful, "If the father is worried, I will start a mansion by myself, and I will take care of the mother and concubine!"

Yu Yin looked up, Meng Junhuai's face was ashen.She knew that it was probably not because Ah Li's words were too much, but because it was easy for them to break in and say such words to make people uncomfortable.

Ke Ali's request is reasonable.If they don't agree, the day when the four brothers will no longer be close is probably just around the corner.

So she nodded as if she didn't see Meng Junhuai's expression: "OK."

"Yuyin!" Meng Junhuai shouted.Yu Yin paused for a breath, and continued: "As long as the empress doesn't have to abolish her or give her to death tomorrow, I will do as you say."

The next day, news that Prince Yi's side concubine killed the main concubine spread throughout the capital, followed by the news that Prince Yi ordered the eldest son to open the mansion alone and take care of his mother.

Besides, Qianqing Palace also issued an imperial decree, allowing Prince Yi to dismiss his concubines.

In the afternoon, the Kunning Palace issued another decree to forty Youshi's stick on the grounds of committing crimes.

The first few items were not surprising, but when the last one was passed on to the mansion... Yu Yin was really a little panicked.

What if you were beaten to death in one breath? !It can be said that she doesn't care about You Shi's life and death, but Ah Li and Ah Qi do!

But when she heard about it, the east courtyard had already signed up.It was too late for her to enter the palace to intercede, so she went directly to stop her and no one would listen.

So you can only follow your will.

Yuyin could only sip tea while watching Meng Junhuai's cold face, until she finished drinking a cup, he was still cold, forcing her to take the initiative to go over: "You are really angry at what you said last night. ?!"

Meng Junhuai snorted coldly.

Yu Yin was dumbfounded: "No... Listen to me, I didn't mean to be against you. You see, Ah Li and Ah Qi are so old, and they always get along well with their brothers and sisters. If we really drive You Shi to death , isn't this causing trouble for nothing?"

How embarrassing will it be to meet?It's fine for her to just close the door and ignore these two sons. How will he, as a father, face these two sons in the next few decades? !
Meng Junhuai snorted again: "Isn't it the first time you've dismantled me in front of the children, you always treat me as a villain, and let you play all the good people."

"Why am I pretending to be a good person...!" Yu Yin stared at him, seeing that his face was even more unkind, she smiled slowly and moved closer to him, "I am a good person in the first place, otherwise you can see why both Li and Aqi like me ?Am I right!"

For this, she still has a sense of accomplishment!
There is no such thing as children in other concubines and their mothers dealing with the main room with her. Ah Li and Qi usually treat her respectfully and treat her children well.

That day Aqi was afraid that something might happen to her, so he came over to help her hold back the wine—although part of it was to protect Youshi, but it still had something to do with her!
Yu Yin was a little moved by this, but no one would believe such a thing, so if she wanted to be moved, she had no choice but to be moved by herself.A heart that wants to show off the harmony of the family has no place to put it in my arms, so sad and angry!
