The little lady in the palace

Chapter 25 Misunderstanding
The two of them had breakfast together in the main courtyard, and then went to the study. Xie Yuyin's sobriety didn't last long before he began to feel sleepy.

There is no way, yesterday I was irritated for a long time before I fell asleep in exhaustion, and I was haunted by nightmares all night, and now I was sitting in the study and had nothing to do, all the sleepiness surged.

When He Jing went to the study to practice calligraphy, she quickly noticed the way she nodded and nodded at the table, and always looked up at her.Meng Junhuai noticed the last glance and glanced over: "He Jing, don't be distracted by reading."

He Jing still looked at her with bright eyes, and said crisply: "It's the concubine who is tired!"

So his gaze shifted to her face, Yu Yinqiang looked back with vigor: "...No."

In fact, Meng Junhuai also noticed that she was extremely sleepy, and pointed to the room next to him separated by a multi-treasure shelf: "Go to sleep for a while, I will call you at lunch."

It's good for Yuyin to think about it, she is so sleepy that she can't think clearly, even if her brother comes later, she probably won't have the energy to talk to him.

So she went to sleep, and Xie Jiqing found what needed to be checked an hour later, and came over to give it to Meng Junhuai.There was not much movement between the two of them, and Yuyin didn't wake up at all.

"This is a confession, and it came from the eunuch in charge of martial law in Daochao Alley." Xie Jiqing first handed the top few pages to Meng Junhuai, glanced away inadvertently, and was surprised to see his sister sleeping soundly on the couch next door Standing up and down.

"..." It took him a while to recover, and he continued to talk about the business, "This is the approximate amount of banknotes burned when the fire broke out. I haven't counted them in detail, but the difference should not be too big."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Yuyin turned over boldly.

"I'm sorry." Meng Junhuai nodded, took it over and looked at it and asked, "What does the household department say?"

After waiting for an answer, he looked up: "Brother Xie?"

"Uh..." Xie Jiqing withdrew his gaze and coughed lightly, "What did you say, Your Highness?"

"I asked the household department what to say?" He looked over while repeating, smiled uncontrollably and held back, nodded and said, "Wait a moment."

Xie Jiqing watched Yijun Wang stand up and enter the next compartment, looking through the various porcelains on the multi-treasure shelf, he saw Yijun Wang first push the jade guide that had rolled to the side of the couch, and then Shake the brocade quilt kicked into a ball by her and cover it for her.Then he seemed to have stopped by the couch to look at her before turning around and walking out.

Xie Jiqing kept muttering in his heart, thinking that the relationship between this couple is not very good!When he came home yesterday, why did his mother wipe away tears and tell him that his sister was having a bad time in the palace, and asked him to help Yijun Wang with his affairs, and to say something nice for his sister?

Meng Junhuai was thinking that sooner or later he would laugh at Xie Yuyin face to face about sleeping dishonestly, when he raised his eyes, he saw Xie Jiqing's brows were knotted.

"Oh, she was tired yesterday and didn't sleep well. I asked her to catch up on sleep here." Meng Junhuai explained casually.

"...Oh." Xie Jiqing paused for a moment, then nodded meaningfully.

"Tired" Well, he has also become a relative, understand!
He continued to talk about the business with peace of mind: "I asked the people in the household department, they thought martial law was the emperor's will, and seeing that the emperor never mentioned it, they didn't dare to say anything."

Meng Junhuai gave a clear "hmm".

Sure enough, they are all similar ideas.Even before he found out the flaws in the punishment, he once thought that his father knew about it, but he just didn't want to mention it.

Tsk, co-authoring up and down, I was almost deceived by the daring eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies!
At the gate of the palace, Yang Enlu was frightened and trying to block people, but at the same time had no choice but to bow and bow to invite the visitor in.

The eldest brother of the princes, Prince Jin, came as soon as he said he would, but his face was still livid and he was in a bad mood. It was very scary...

He could only persuade from the side: "Oh, please slow down..."

Prince Jin sneered: "He dares to investigate places where martial law is strictly enforced, the sixth younger brother has grown up!"

Yang Enlu straightened his neck: "Lord, please calm down."

He was crying in his heart, and he glanced at two eunuchs under his command coming this way, and quickly gestured for them to stop.Immediately, he waved his hands vigorously, motioning them to go back to report to Prince Yi.

The two reacted quickly, as soon as they leaned over, they quickly turned back.Prince Jin saw it but didn't bother to pay attention, snorted and said nothing.

So when Prince Jin arrived at the door of the study, Meng Junhuai happened to come out to block others.

He smiled and bowed: "Brother..."

"Sixth brother, let me tell you something!" Prince Jin raised his eyebrows and gritted his teeth, looked at Meng Junhuai, and said in a cold voice, "I'm telling you this because I don't want to see your mother's family be punished by my father. How about you, dare to collude with Jin Yiwei to stir things up?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Yi Jinyiwei coming out, Prince Jin continued with a frightened expression, and his voice became colder: "Go, go to the palace with elder brother to apologize. There are still few people who know about it, and elder brother can still help you. "

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but Meng Junhuai hurriedly stopped him: "Big brother, big brother..."

Prince Jin frowned at him.

"Brother, don't worry, I have something urgent here, please take a look first."

As Meng Junhuai spoke, he gave Yang Enlu a wink, and Yang Enlu immediately went into the study to get it.As soon as Prince Jin saw it, he wanted to go in and see it by himself, but Meng Junhuai stopped him again: "Brother, don't..."

Prince Jin stared straight at him: "Can I go in and sit down?"

"This... can't be done." Meng Junhuai felt that the way he treated guests was really not right, and explained with a weak smile, "Your brother and sister are asleep inside, so it's inconvenient for you to go in."

Xie Jiqing is Xie Yuyin's elder brother, and Xie Yuyin sleeps in his clothes, separated by a multi-treasure shelf, seeing him is seeing him.It's really inappropriate for Prince Jin to go in and have a look.

Prince Jin laughed angrily for a moment: "You let the princess go to bed in the study in the front yard? You really have something out of your mind recently, don't you?"

"No, no..." Meng Junhuai explained embarrassingly, "Just this time. She didn't go to sleep until midnight last night, so I asked her to catch up on sleep here."

"I don't sleep until late at night"...

After a moment of silence, Prince Jin looked at the sixth brother thoughtfully.

Although some topics were not very good, they were blown into his ears by the wind, and he could hear them no matter what.

——Prince Jin knows very well that when the royal father's decree for the marriage was first issued, the whole capital would be discussing the princess of the new county. The fact that she "has just returned to vulgarity" is placed here, and some of them are inevitably curious about how the couple will live in the future pass?

Only now did he realize that everyone's worries were unnecessary.

Tsk, sixth brother, can you do it?

I didn't sleep until the middle of the night.

So the three of them moved to the main hall and sat down together, Xie Jiqing reported to Prince Jin while thinking, if the younger sister "sleep well" like this every day, it won't work, and she needs to get some things for her to recuperate.The face of the girl's family is low, and he, the eldest brother, should definitely not come forward in this matter, so let her sister-in-law go for a visit later.

While listening to Xie Jiqing's report, Prince Jin thought that the sixth brother was eight years younger than himself, and he was young and energetic at the moment, so it was probably useless to warn him to "be temperate".Heh, it just so happens that he hunted a few deer when he went hunting a few days ago, so I'll send him the big part later!
Meng Junhuai looked at the expressions of the two of them while sipping tea, seeing that they both seemed to be pondering, and thought to himself, could it be that he was thinking wrong?Things are actually more serious than he thought?

He thought for a while, and then said his thoughts: "Brother, the crimes found by Master Qianhu are basically enough to explain the matter, and the eunuch Bingbi's previous deception is also certain, I want to write a booklet and submit it to my father." The emperor reported this matter, what do you think, big brother?"

Prince Jin nodded: "Yes, yes."

Meng Junhuai: ...?Then what were you thinking about with such a dignified look just now?
Prince Jin took a sip of his tea and looked at him: "Go and write now. I will enter the palace with you in a while, and present myself to the father, so that Xue Gui will not take advantage of his position to cut your paper again."

So good.

Meng Junhuai had also thought of this point, he thought that when he entered the palace this time, he would have to wait until he met his father before leaving, but there were always many people in Qianqing Palace, so he didn't know when he would have to wait.

It would be much more convenient to go with Prince Jin. Although the father did not establish a heir, this eldest brother is no different from the heir. He can participate in the political discussions at any time, and he doesn't even need to give a special report when he enters the Qianqing Palace.

He asked people to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone directly, wrote the whole story carefully, and then accused him of tampering with the Jin Yiwei's practice of "beheading first and playing later". After reading it through and realizing that there were no omissions, he gave it to Prince Jin for review.

Prince Jin also read it carefully, nodded and said: "The writing is very good, let's go to the palace now. Please also invite this gentleman from a thousand households to go with you. You directly bring someone to investigate. If the father asks, you can say clear."

Xie Jiqing clasped his fists: "Yes."

The three of them went straight to the Forbidden City without further delay.When entering the palace gate, the guards felt a little strange when they saw the two princes coming together with an unfamiliar Jin Yiwei.

Two quarters later, the three of them knelt together in the Qianqing Palace.

In the main hall, the censer of the copper crane blows smoke from its mouth.The diffuse smoke made the already quiet hall look more solemn, and added a sense of alienation between people, making people feel that in this hall, there is only one person who is high above others, no matter what their status is , are all subjects.

The emperor stuck to the memorial he just finished reading and stood up, walking slowly back and forth in front of the three of them.

Meng Junhuai didn't dare to raise his head. Finally, he heard the sound of the playbook being thrown on the desk—it was a soft "pop", simple and short, no matter how hard one tried to distinguish it, no emotion could be discerned.

Then the pacing stopped.

The moment Meng Junhuai saw Jun's father turning towards them out of the corner of his eye, cold sweat broke down his back.
