The little lady in the palace

Chapter 22 Kissed
Under the setting sun, she blinked her bright eyes, the panic just now was gone, replaced by serious doubts.

Meng Junhuai asked calmly, "Otherwise?"

Except for the eldest son of the emperor who was named Prince Jin, all the princes have no real power, and it is difficult to distinguish the enemy from the court.Not to mention far away, at this juncture, it is natural to rely on yourself to be the safest.

Xie Yuyin pursed her lips, and told him hesitantly, "My elder brother...is Jin Yiwei."

"...Huh?" Meng Junhuai was slightly taken aback.

"Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi." Seeing that he didn't directly say no, Yuyin was more confident, "Back then, it was the Jinyiwei established by the Xie family to help the Taizu, and the family has always kept people in it. The elder brother is now the Beizhen Fusi My Qianhu, if His Highness needs..."

He immediately refused: "No need."

He also knew that she had good intentions, but Jin Yiwei has been too helpless all these years.The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, the leading commander is just a bag of wine and food, and one of the bottom ones is also a waste snack.

Piansheng has established a rule since the time of Taizu that Jin Yiwei cannot be replaced by random replacements, most of them are hereditary.Therefore, although they are useless, their internal relationship is stable, and their relationship with various families in the DPRK and China is also intricate.

Therefore, the government from top to bottom had no choice but to acquiesce in using the treasury to support this bunch of trash snacks, otherwise it would have been abolished long ago.

Xie Yuyin had heard about Jin Yiwei's current situation, so he could guess why he refused so simply.She gritted her teeth secretly, a little aggrieved for her elder brother: "The Thousand Households Office led by my elder brother has never slack off..."

The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted her argument, the two looked over together, and an eunuch hurried into the courtyard: "Master."

This person is Liu Kuai, Yang Enlu's subordinate.He fell silent as soon as he bowed, and Meng Junhuai looked at Yuyin again: "Princess, go and rest first, let's talk later."

Yu cited blessings and went back to the house.In the yard, Liu Kuai reported, "Eunuch Yang has been interrogated."

Meng Junhuai nodded: "Who?"

Liu Kuai said: "That Yan Heng confessed that many eminent eunuchs in the palace have another share of money to help Qianqing Palace to keep an eye on the palaces, and he is the one who helped to keep an eye on Yongning Palace."

"Qianqing Palace?" Meng Junhuai shuddered slightly, did that really mean what the father meant?
"Yes, Qianqing Palace, but not the emperor." Liu Kuai thought about what to say next, and forcibly settled his mind, "Yan Heng said that it was arranged by Xue Gui, the eunuch of Bingbi. As for your highness, it is because of the fire in the banknote department." It was caused by some of Xue Gui's apprentices getting drunk and going to gamble on New Year's Eve. Afraid of losing his life, Xue Gui simply took the risk and hid it from the emperor. In the end, you entered the palace and reported to the imperial concubine...he was afraid that his success would fall short .”

Meng Junhuai heaved a sigh of relief.

That's right, it makes sense.The Banknote Inverting Department is an important place for printing and exchanging banknotes. Although it is in charge of the household department, it is also assisted by eunuchs in the palace.This was to avoid any mistakes, but now something went wrong because of drinking and gambling, so it is natural to be involved in the crime.

But it's martial law and it's deceitful...

Meng Junhuai sneered, this Xue Gui probably wanted to confuse the public after the matter dragged on for a long time, so that the Ministry of Households would be charged with this crime.

It's a good idea, but if you beat him, you still want his mother clan to take the blame?
Just wait and see!
Haishi has passed, and the thin moonlight at the beginning of the month shines into the bedroom.On the couch a few feet away, Xie Yuyin had already fallen into a drowsy sleep.

From dinner to before going to bed, she looked into the yard many times, and she knew that Meng Junhuai hadn't left yet.

But he always looked like he was meditating, she thought over and over again that it would be better not to bother him, so she continued to read her scriptures.

Then she gets sleepy.

Seeing that he was still "in meditation" outside, she quietly washed herself and went to bed.Tell Shan Shan to prepare two more lanterns. If he comes back to his senses and wants to go back to the front, or go to some concubine's room, there must be lights on the way?

After giving the instructions, she fell asleep peacefully.

Falling asleep and suddenly being pushed in very rudely, Yuyin frowned uncomfortably but before waking up, an angry voice sounded in her ears: "You are a lady of a great family, and you sleep on your back?"

She opened her eyes and saw that in the dim light, his brows were tightly furrowed: "Go in, I'm going to sleep too."

Yu Yin woke up immediately!

"...Your Highness." As she moved inside to make room for him, she looked at him in horror.The last time the two of them slept under the same quilt was when he was recuperating and unable to move, but now his injury has healed...

Meng Junhuai lifted the quilt and lay down. He originally wanted to talk to her about something serious, but when he saw her like this, he became angry: "I don't want to talk to you. But please remember that we are husband and wife, okay?"

"..." Xie Yuyin blushed.

Actually, she knew they were husband and wife!I also know that there are some "things" that they should do after they become husband and wife that they haven't done yet!

But it's embarrassing to think about that kind of thing!Such a shameful thing... Would it be weird if they were Concubine You and the others?
Um!She must not be the only one who finds it weird!

Xie Yuyin thought this of course, and suddenly put a hand around her waist.

"Your Highness?!" She couldn't hold back and shouted out, but Meng Junhuai pulled her closer and took a deep breath: "I'll just say a few words."

Then why don't you say yes?

She froze in his arms in grievance.

"You send a message to your home tomorrow, and go home another day. Then leave a message with your home directly and ask your elder brother to come here when you have time. To avoid sending a special trip, I will meet Jin Yiwei for no reason, it is too eye-catching."

After learning that his "opponent" was the eunuch Bingbi, he planned to borrow the power of Jin Yiwei—although Jin Yiwei has been very useless recently, but after all, he has a famous name and investigates cases. Justifiably so.

After all, there is still strict martial law in Daobao Alley, so he can't let the royal guards break in and investigate.

After Meng Junhuai said that, he waited, and after a while, he heard her muffled in his arms stiffly: "Oh..."

He was startled, raised his eyebrows to look at her, and stroked her back gently: "If you miss home, you can stay for a few more days, and it doesn't matter if you come back later, just feel free."

She said "oh" again.

Haha!

Suddenly he was no longer so depressed, and found some fun—this little nun could sometimes make him vomit blood when he was angry, and sometimes shocked him by "pointing" him with special dexterity.But as long as she was lying on the bed with him, it was as if she had been cast with a holding spell, and she couldn't move anywhere in her body, and she couldn't even speak much.

Thus, Xie Yuyin, whose thoughts had just been drawn by him to serious matters, saw him suddenly tilting his head to look at her with interest without blinking his eyes.

"Let me tell you, you don't have to tell your family too much, just say that I want to get to know your elder brother." He deliberately took a slow tone, and stretched his hand to her neck, his index finger and middle finger seemed to be very tight. He tapped her collarbone casually.

Xie Yuyin lowered her eyes in surprise, "Oh..."

Hahahaha, it's really like being cast a holding spell!
Meng Junhuai folded his arms, and took her into his arms again.

Yu Yin was terrified, she didn't understand why he was so startled all of a sudden, was he in a good mood or not?

After he held her in his arms, he was able to make a smile appear on his face. He laughed for a long time, remembering that he was even a little "rough" when he pushed her in because he was in a bad mood.

He let out an apologetic breath, staring blankly at Shen Yuyin who was defenseless, and suddenly felt something soft touch his forehead.

She shivered slightly: "Your Highness..."

Meng Junhuai met her terrified eyes calmly, and kissed her again.Then the hand behind her patted lightly: "Go to sleep."

After closing his eyes, he could still feel her astonished eyes fixed on his face.

He held back his laughter, thinking that this little nun was really interesting.Seeing her at a loss...he always wants to bully her!
Early the next morning, Xie Yuyin changed clothes and took a shower as usual. At first, she was still sleepy and her mind was empty. Halfway through rinsing her mouth, the time of last night suddenly flooded into her mind.

"Pfft..." She choked violently, and hurriedly spit out the remaining water into the basin, but she couldn't hold back, her face flushed and she coughed again and again.

"Miss?!" Shan Shan and Liu Li hurriedly came to pat her on the back, Yu Yin calmed down after a while, and waved her hand to tell them: "I'm fine."

Then for the whole morning, she was immersed in an unprecedented sense of embarrassment!

Ah, ah, he actually kissed her, why did he kiss her!

Amitabha!My Buddha is merciful!This fact is too shameful!
She sat in front of the case but couldn't copy the scriptures, her face was buried in her arms and she wanted to cry without tears.

Then she remembered that he actually kissed twice...

OMG!

While Yuyin was in a state of turmoil, she also felt that it was wrong to be so turbulent, so she had to calm down!
——In the past ten years, she has always said that meditation can immediately lead to meditation.In the past two months, it has become more and more easy to be disturbed, which is not good, not good!
So after a few breaths, Yuyin finally forced herself to calm down and wrote the post to her home.

She is not the only married woman of the Xie family, her mother and several aunts and aunts are all appointed by married women, but at present, she has the highest status.

Yuyin felt very ashamed when she thought that the elders were going to greet her, thought about Meng Junhuai's words last night, and deliberately added a sentence to the post, His Royal Highness Daoyi County said "casual".

After finishing writing, she handed the post to Zhao Chengrui, and Zhao Chengrui personally rode a fast horse to deliver it, and came back around noon: "Madam said I understand, the family will make arrangements, and you can go back in three days."

She let out an "oh" in relief.

In the study room in the front yard, King Yijun nodded after listening to Yang Enlu's report of the arrangements for the concubine's family visit. Yang Enlu said again: "Your Highness, do you want to make other arrangements for summoning Mr. Xie?"

He frowned suddenly, stopped his writing hand, and looked up at Yang Enlu: "That's the eldest brother of the concubine, what did you say 'summoned'? Go and book Zhimeilou for ten days, whenever he is free, I buy him a drink."
