The little lady in the palace

Chapter 23 Difficulties
Yuyin returned home three days later.

Yi County Prince's Mansion is near Andingmen, and Xie's house is at Dongzhimen, not too far away, but not close either.

After she had breakfast, she went out, and the princess brine book was spread out on the street.The surroundings were escorted by the guards of the mansion, and the places where they passed were under martial law a moment in advance, and the ban could not be lifted until she passed a moment.

So all the way was quiet, except for the sound of wheels and horseshoes and the footsteps of the guards, no other movement could be heard.Yuyin unknowingly fell asleep in the carriage, and after an unknown period of time, the carriage stopped.

Yu Yin opened a corner of the car window silk curtain and took a look. Although he wrote "casual" in the post, all the female family members with status were waiting outside.

The rules of the Xie family have always been very strict, even though all the female family members and the embarrassing maids and servants are all bowing outside the door, kneeling on half of the street, but it is so quiet that there is no movement at all.

Yu Yin breathed a sigh of relief: "Go first and help my mother and a few aunts and aunts get up."

Coral waited for the four maids who followed her from Xie's house, and immediately responded, and Yuyin waited until the elders got up before they dared to get out of the car.

When he got closer, he saw his mother, Qiu's eyes were red but smiling, and said with a blessing, "The princess has worked hard all the way."

"It's not hard." Yu Yin quickly reached out to support her, stopped talking outside the door, and went straight to the door.

Everyone went in with her, and the atmosphere relaxed a bit after they entered the house.

Several elders asked her about her recent situation with concern but without being rude, and then most of the female family members withdrew, only her mother Qiu and the eldest aunt Fang who headed the house remained, and the three of them went to Fang's residence to talk together .

Yuyin first talked about the fact that King Yijun wanted to see his eldest brother. Fang and Qiu knew that it was probably related to government affairs, and they agreed not to ask any more questions.

——For example, how are you doing in the palace?Does His Royal Highness Prince Yi treat her well?Is there anything new to tell you?
Yu Yin answered them one by one, and because she didn't have much contact with Meng Junhuai, the few interesting things seemed to be particularly fresh in her memory.She told her mother and aunt one by one earnestly, and said with a smile: "Although I have many discomforts, I am doing well. There are not many troubles in the palace. Your Highness sometimes has a violent temper, but I'm not an unreasonable person, so don't worry about me at home."

The Qiu family breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "It's good for you to live well. You have practiced Buddhism for ten years, and suddenly you become a princess. In my heart... the most fearful thing is that you will feel uncomfortable."

Fang's face darkened in thought.

Yu Yin was startled when she saw it, and called her: "Auntie?"

"Hmm." Fang came back from contemplation, glanced at her face, and said, "Auntie wants to ask something that shouldn't be asked."

Yu Yin nodded: "Auntie, tell me."

Fang said conveniently: "It doesn't matter if you have little contact during the day. Auntie wants to ask you, since you passed the door until now, how many times has His Highness stayed in your room?"

"..." Yu Yin blushed, recalling Meng Junhuai's kissing her that night, she turned her face away and took a breath before saying, "Three times. I thought of... having sex or something, always awkward, His Highness just said no." Move me."

"That means you haven't consummated your marriage?!" Fang was surprised, she thought it was just a few times, but it turns out that you haven't consummated your marriage yet? !
Qiu Shi was also shocked: "...?!"

Yu Yin was stunned by the astonished gazes of her mother and aunt, she hesitated in answering: "Yes..."

The two gasped at the same time.

Then, the atmosphere turned grim.

Yijun Palace.

In the afternoon, Meng Junhuai saw the young man sent by Xie's family to answer the conversation, and said, "Young master is free right now, so you can come and see His Highness."

So the two met at Zhimei Building that night. They talked while drinking and quickly decided what to do.

Only then did Meng Junhuai know that there are still capable people in Jinyiwei, at least Xie Jiqing is still available.As soon as he met him, he felt that this person had bright eyes and extraordinary bearing, and he could feel the ability from the words when talking about business.

If the current official position makes him have a bright future, it is not surprising that he is like this.But working in a place like Jinyiwei, which is becoming more and more decadent, he neither proposed to be transferred nor followed the trend, so he was considered capable.

Meng Junhuai secretly sighed that the Xie family really deserved to be a big family, and the family style was strict, so that they could teach their son so well...

Daughter is better!

——He couldn't help emphasizing this sentence stubbornly in his heart. After emphasizing it, he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Then I have to thank you, my lord." Meng Junhuai nodded and said.

Xie Jiqing nodded and smiled: "Tomorrow morning, I will take people into the alley. But after finding the evidence, please report to the Holy Majesty immediately."

Otherwise, it is an abuse of power for the eunuch Bingbi, the inspector of ceremonies, to impose martial law on the hutong, and his private investigation is also an abuse of power.

Meng Junhuai replied solemnly: "Of course, I dare not trouble Mr. Xie."

Then the two drank a few more glasses and ended the meeting.It was too eye-catching, Xie Jiqing left first, and Meng Junhuai waited for a while before leaving.

Sitting in the carriage, Meng Junhuai closed his eyes and thought about how to report this matter to his father, Yang Enlu's voice sounded: "Master."

He opened his eyes: "Say."

Yang Enlu said outside: "I just got a reply, saying that the princess is already on the way back to the mansion, and I will talk about it in a while."

"...?" He remembered that he said that she could stay for a few more days before returning, even if she couldn't stay for "a few days", could she return tomorrow?Why are you in such a hurry?
What happened?
In the main courtyard of the mansion, Xie Yuyin waited patiently for Shan Hu to unload the bead hairpin for her, then fell down on the bed exhaustedly, feeling gloomy.

She didn't expect to be so unhappy when she went home, and she was more worried that she might not be happy in the days to come?

The eldest aunt scolded her for not knowing how to be a wife.

She knows this. Over the past few days, she has been slowly figuring out how to be a princess.But when she was told by her aunt today, she suddenly realized that she had done so many things wrong!And the direction of "right" made her feel very depressed even thinking about it!

The eldest aunt said: "You have to know that although you are a concubine, you are no different from other women. Your Highness has more than one backyard, and if he needs it, the palace will give it to him... How dare you How dare you let your temper not have sex with him!"

The eldest aunt also said: "Do you know what it means to marry into the clan? He is your husband, and even the prince of the Tian family. Although our Xie family is a big family, we dare not say that you marry him as a 'right family'. How can you tell him wrong in person, how can you argue with him when he is teaching his daughter?"

Yuyin felt extremely wronged, and she explained that King Yijun was not unhappy because of this, especially when it came to the matter with Jing, King Yijun listened to what she said.

As a result, the aunt's frown deepened: "Prince Yijun is willing to listen, it's to save face for you, and it's because the former princess had an accident not long ago, so you can't make any more troubles. But you must be clear about the difference between superiority and inferiority, otherwise, The day he refuses to give you face, you won't even have a chance to redeem it."

Yuyin was terrified, and the phrase "the difference between superiority and inferiority" made her feel particularly uncomfortable!

Is there any difference between them?She had always thought that a husband and wife should respect each other and love each other.She has also been following this thought, feeling that she is not used to it now, but after getting used to it, life should be pretty good.

But today, when the eldest aunt said this, she realized that she was wrong.And thinking about what the aunt said... She felt that it was not good at all.

No matter what you say, she is also a noble girl. It is too useless to ask her to serve others in a humble manner.

Might as well continue to be a nun.

Meng Junhuai stepped into the door and walked around the screen, and saw Xie Yuyin lying curled up facing the wall. Although he couldn't see his face, he could still smell a little sleepy from his back.

Taking a closer look, he noticed that none of the servants stayed in the room. It seemed that something happened to her.

He walked over and pushed her shoulder hesitantly: "Princess?"

Xie Yuyin took a deep breath and sat up.

The two looked at each other for a while, and she sat down on the bed and said, "Your Highness."

"Why did you come back so soon? Don't you want to go home?"

Yu Yin's heart twitched in pain.

She wanted to stay at home for a few more days, and her mother also wanted to keep her.But the eldest aunt said that the two were newly married, and King Yijun let her stay at home for a few more days, which showed how dissatisfied she was with her.

"If His Highness likes you, he must urge you to go back. Or even though he doesn't like you that much, but you take care of the affairs of the mansion well, the mansion can't do without you." The aunt said this There was even a bit of disgust in his eyes when he was in the room, "I did it with you, the princess, and I didn't touch anything. You should go back quickly, at least let His Highness feel that you still remember the mansion in your heart. You should change the other things later. You should change, you should pay, you should pay, you are still young, and there is still time."

Xie Yuyin bit her lips thinking about these instructions, and after a long time, she finally opened her mouth with difficulty: "Your Highness... are you going to rest?"

"...?" He was startled, and her hand had already reached the silk belt around his waist hesitantly.

Meng Junhuai was greatly surprised, she lowered her eyes for a while, she had already untied the sash, and touched the lace of his straight shirt again.

"...Wait!" He suddenly realized, grabbed her hand with his left hand, and stroked her forehead with his right hand.

He carefully felt the temperature on her forehead, and then touched his own forehead.

——Do you have a fever?It feels cooler than him!
He frowned, ignoring her bowing his head to dodge, bent down to meet her gaze, and smiled lowly: "What's the matter, little nun? Tell the poor Taoist?"
