The little lady in the palace

Chapter 207 Wen's
In the next few days, Ming Jing was obviously very happy, and went to play with her brothers and sisters every day, and of course she did not make jokes about the third and fourth brothers getting married...

But of course it wasn't a malicious joke.She grew up surrounded by a group of older brothers and sisters since she was a child, but in the past few years, she has seen her brothers and sisters get married and leave the house one by one, and she always feels weird in her heart.Now that the third and fourth brothers are getting married, there are two sisters-in-law in the house, she is happy!

So Yuyin heard Ming Jing talk about what she hoped her sister-in-law would be like several times.She hoped that her sister-in-law must be smart and kind-hearted, and that her sister-in-law should not only like her brother, but also her!
Once A Zuo heard this, he hugged her with a smile, and said to her: "Don't worry, I won't marry anyone who doesn't like Ming Jing!"

"...That's not necessary." Ming Jing frowned and thought about it seriously, and said, "If she doesn't like me but is very nice, then the third brother should marry me! Just as long as the third brother likes me!"

A Zuo asked her solemnly: "Then what if she bullies you?"

Ming Jing thought for a while: "She bullies me, so I just ignore her. Anyway... the third brother will go to live after he gets married."

Both Yuyin and Azuo were taken aback.

It seemed that she was really disappointed by this, and felt that no matter who got married in the mansion, she would leave.A Zuo smiled sourly, and hurriedly explained to her that he would not go to the residence after getting married, and would stay in the mansion all the time.

Ming Jing was happy, and the next step of being happy was to regret what she had just said, hugged Ah Zuo and said that the third brother must find a sister-in-law who would not bully her!

On New Year's Eve, the whole family entered the palace together as usual.When the soldiers were divided into two groups at the gate of the palace, Ah Li and Ah Qi always had a smile of "good luck to the third and fourth brothers".

Yu led them, and still went to Kunning Palace to say hello first, and then went to Concubine Ding.He Jing came with the child, Concubine Ding picked up the child and refused to let it go. She was very happy because she carried her great-grandson!
He Jing's child also likes this great-grandmother, sitting on her lap, babbling and pointing around curiously.Concubine Ding played with him lovingly for a while, then raised her head to look at Yuyin: "Ah Lan is just pregnant, and I won't see the child for a while. But Ah Qi... the child is almost one year old now, right? "

When Ah Qi's child was mentioned, everyone's expressions were slightly uncomfortable.Yu Yin nodded and bowed her body: "Yes, it was born in February, and it has been more than ten months now."

"Call the mother and daughter together to see you some other day." Concubine Ding sighed, "I don't know much about this, but I think, anyway, they gave birth to a child for Ah Qi. Even if they can't Give her a place, and your family should still treat her well. I know that Ah Qi is kind-hearted, but I still want to tell him that even if he doesn't like this girl in the future, he still has to look at her for the sake of the child. Thanks to her food and clothing."

The mansion had already reported Xiangying's matter to Concubine Ding, but this was the first time Concubine Ding mentioned it.Yuyin was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Yes, that Luo Shi is also sensible, and Mingjing and the others all know about it. Even if she really doesn't get close to Ah Qi in the future, there will be someone who will take care of her."

Concubine Ding nodded, then looked at the two brothers who had been silent all this time, she just took a glance and smiled: "Are you two uncomfortable with me? Go out for a walk, and just come back for dinner when the time comes."

A Zuo Ayou blushed, trying to explain that it was not because she was uncomfortable in Yongning Palace, but at the same time she was really disturbed by the marriage.In the end, neither of them said a word, they just bowed to each other with blushing faces, and then they left.

"I want to accompany my brothers!" Ming Jing tugged at Yuyin's hand. Yuyin looked at her and saw that her eyes were bright and she obviously wanted to hang out together, so she couldn't help smiling: "Then be good, don't give it to your brothers." make trouble."

Your brothers are in a mess right now!
Ming Jing gave a heavy "En!", and politely stepped forward to bid her farewell to her grandmother.Then she chased her out, and after a while, everyone in the hall heard Ah You laughing and scolding her: "Don't run so fast, be careful not to fall!"

Yu Yin: "..."

I knew it was useless to ask her to behave better.

Outside Yongning Palace, Azuo and Ayou took a leisurely walk, thought for a while, and planned to go to the front for a turn.

Right now is the time when all the prefectures are coming in to celebrate the New Year one after another, and there are many cousins ​​in front of them, so they should go to say hello no matter what... By the way, let's see who else is going to get married this year!
Ming Jing was very leisurely, stepping on the remaining snow on the ground for a while, and fiddled with the snow-covered branches for a while.If it weren't for the fact that the two elder brothers were always in a groaning state and had no intention of playing around, she would really like to pull them into a snowball fight.

She was so absorbed in her enjoyment that she didn't react at all when someone else came, and she didn't regain her senses until the other person squatted beside her.

"Cousin!" Ming Jing turned her head and smiled, Xi Yao pulled her hand with a smile: "Going to the front?"

"Well, go with the brothers." Ming Jing nodded.It was only then that Xi Yao noticed that there were two people a few steps away, Azuo and Ayou also saw her, stepped forward and bowed: "Cousin."

"It's just right for you to go to the front." Xi Yao stood up, "The queen mother asked me to bring some soup to warm your highness, but there are many people in the front now, and I went there to be polite. You can take it there by the way. He drank it while it was hot, and just asked the palace man to send it off to me for fear that he would not take it seriously."

This matter is not troublesome, but Azuo and Ayou can't help but slander cousin, you are lazy!
The two came down, Xi Yao turned her head to call, and a girl with the appearance of a female official stepped forward.

Xi Yao said: "This is the eldest son and fourth son of Prince Yi's mansion, you can go with them, I will return to Kunning Palace and wait for you."

The female officer only smiled and said "yes", it doesn't look like an ordinary master-servant relationship.A Zuo and A You didn't ask any further questions, and continued to walk towards the Qianqing Palace together, and met Xie Jiqing at the gate of the palace, but heard the female official call him "Uncle".

"So it's a girl from the Xie family?" Ah You was slightly surprised, and immediately cupped his hands, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Mrs. Xie smiled generously, her beautiful eyes turned and she lowered her gaze: "It's okay, I don't have time to say hello to my aunt even after I serve as the concubine's maid, can you two young masters give me a message later?"

"It's easy to say, easy to say..." Ayou responded repeatedly, feeling inexplicably embarrassed.He only felt that the girl looked very beautiful when she smiled, her gentle and bright appearance seemed to light up the surroundings.

A Zuo looked sideways at his younger brother, and when he touched his arm, A You still looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"...It's okay, it's fine." Ah Zuo wanted to laugh, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Ah You's eyes were straight just now.

But it was nothing after that, the few people said goodbye after they left the Qianqing Palace.It was almost time for lunch, Azuo and Ayou took Ming Jing back to Yongning Palace, while Xie went back to Kunning Palace.

As a result, during dinner, I saw this Miss Xie again.

This time she was summoned by Concubine Ding, and there were several noble ladies with her.

They all just came from other concubines, and they have already met the other princes who are of marriageable age.When they walked into Yongning Palace, some people still had blushes on their faces, but when they looked up and saw the people here, the blushes added another layer.

They greeted Concubine Ding and Concubine Xian first, and then saluted Yuyin and Princess Chang.Because Mrs. Xie was related to Yu Yin, after everyone saluted, she went forward to give Yu Yin another gift.

Yu Yin smiled: "You are Xishan? I was in Hualing Nunnery when I was a child, and then I married someone directly. I haven't seen many children of your lineage. I heard Xi Yao mention it recently, and I will be free in the future." I often come to the palace to walk around."

Xishan Wenwen bowed quietly to answer.Concubine Ding looked at the ladies in front of her, and said: "I have something to say to the concubines, you young people, go and play together. The side hall is prepared for you, there are snacks and tea, don't be too polite , are all from our own family.”

The noble ladies were blessed again. At the same time, Azuo Ayou, who was in a daze, saw Yuyin and gave him a wink: "Go."

Azuo Ayou: "..."

So the boys had to go together.In this part of Yongning Palace, besides Azuo and Ayou brothers, there is also the eldest son of Prince Chang's mansion.Prince Chang's son was one year older than them, but he hadn't had much dealings with the girl's family before, and all three of them had embarrassment written on their faces.

And the noble ladies were also very embarrassed. After entering the side hall, they sat stupidly for a cup of tea before Ah Zuo forced himself to speak first: "Miss Xie...my name is Xishan?"

Xie Xishan nodded "Yes".

Ah You felt anxious for some reason, as if he didn't want to be left alone by his brother, he immediately answered, "Excuse me, which word 'Shan' is it?"

Xi Shan felt as if a drumstick was beating in her heart, she lowered her head firmly and said, "Coral's coral."

"..." Ayou hesitated, "The girl's name is Xihu?"

"...Xu Shan." Xi Shan's expression froze obviously, and in an instant, her cheeks were as red as coral, and she couldn't help but lower her head and cover her face to relieve her embarrassment, "Shan of Coral!"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Ah You hurriedly waved his hands to smooth things over, tried his best to smile, and said, "Xi Shan Xi Hu sounds good... I've been to West Lake, the scenery is beautiful and pleasant!"

God! ! !

Xishan really wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, she gritted her teeth, but she couldn't get over the embarrassment, she got up and said, "The courtiers go out for a walk, your Highnesses... Do as you please."

"Thank you girl..." Ah You wanted to say something, but Ah Zuo stepped on her foot.

Silly brother, can you speak? !

A Zuo glared at him, convinced by his way of taking other people's mistakes as the topic when he had nothing to say.

Then, they didn't see Xie Xishan again that night.When leaving the palace and returning home, Yuyin noticed Ayou's expression of remorse.

"What the hell am I doing!!!" Furious by himself, Ayou kicked hard on the wheel, and jumped on one leg in pain, "What the hell am I talking about West Lake!!!"

He lay on Ah Zuo's shoulder and beat Ah Zuo: "Brother, you don't stop me either!!!"

"..." A Zuo silently pushed him away, "You talk so fast, who do you blame?"

Why is the scenery of the West Lake beautiful... Ah Zuo wants to say, fourth brother, I doubt that you will not be able to marry a wife like this!
Yuyin endured a smile to see his grief and anger, and when he had finished howling, she stepped forward and patted him on the back: "It's alright, alright, isn't it just saying the wrong thing? I'll invite her to the mansion another day, and you will meet her face to face." She apologized."

However, Ah You still had a sad look on his face, feeling that he didn't make a good impression when they first met, and now Xishan must despise him to death! ! !
Yu Yin resisted the ridicule at the youngest son, and looked at A Zuo: "A Zuo, do you like any of these girls today?"

"Hmm..." A Zuo hesitated for a moment, and A You, who had been immersed in grief beside him, raised his head and said, "Yes, the third brother talked to Miss Wen for quite a while."

Miss Wen?

Yu Yin couldn't help frowning.

Back in the mansion, Yu Yin held back her exhaustion and told Meng Junhuai about it first.If the matter between Ayou and Xishan can work out, then there is no problem, it would be nice for the two families to get closer.

The problem is Ah Zuo.

That girl from the Wen family...was the granddaughter of a former vassal king with a different surname, King Guangxin.

King Guangxin was imprisoned by the former emperor because of the crime of disrespect, and the current emperor gave his eldest son a title without real power after succeeding to the throne.Although the lintel is not low, all the families in Beijing have avoided them for so many years.

The girl from the Wen family, at best, is the daughter of Lord Hou, but at worst, she is the granddaughter of the guilty minister!

Meng Junhuai pondered for a while, then clicked his lips: "This matter is not easy to handle, but does Ah Zuo really like her?"

"It's hard to say, it's the first time I've seen you today. As soon as Ah You told me, Ah Zuo's face turned red."

It seems that regardless of whether it is "liked" or not, there is always something tempting.

Yu Yin pondered for a while, and said with an idea: "Why don't you go to the palace after the next year and ask the emperor what he means?!"

"...?" Meng Junhuai frowned and glanced at her, "You want me to ask this directly?"

"I don't think it matters." Yu Yin said sincerely, "Do you think, if the emperor doesn't want a child from the clan to marry her, would he let her enter the palace today?"

Although it makes sense to test the loyalty of the subordinates because of this, but Yuyin feels that the current emperor seldom plays such oblique tricks on his younger brothers.

So if Ah You liked it, she might not even worry about it.Adding a heart to A Zuo is just because A Zuo is the son of the eldest son, he should pay more attention to it.

Meng Junhuai followed her words and weighed it, then nodded: "Okay, then I will pick a day to enter the palace, don't mention it to A Zuo."
