The little lady in the palace

Chapter 32 Start

Even though he already knew what was going to happen from Meng Junhuai's instructions, Xie Yuyin couldn't help shivering when a plate of real Sixi meatballs was served in front of him.

Although she now eats a few mouthfuls of meat every meal, she still doesn't want to try meaty, greasy, and real "big dishes" like Sixi meatballs.

So there was a stalemate in the bedroom.Yu Yin sat on the inner side of the bed, staring stiffly at the four big meatballs on the couch table in front of her. Meng Junhuai sat on the edge of the bed and smiled, looking at the meatballs and then at her.

She froze for a long time, then he picked up a porcelain spoon and cut a bite of the meatball, calmly said, "Come."

"Don't..." Yu Yin shrank back, stared at him, and said something quickly after thinking about it, "I, I don't care about this, okay! What your Highness wants is all up to His Highness's arrangement!"

As he said that, he glanced at the plate of meatballs in a panic, and explained unwillingly: "Your Highness can't blame me entirely! I was... I wanted to ask His Highness to pass the purpose first, but His Highness was in a hurry to go out so I didn't look at it! And, and His Royal Highness said to let Eunuch Yang help me make up my mind, Eunuch Yang also felt that there is no problem, so he arranged it like this! How can you blame me entirely!"

She hugged the quilt without daring to move, then continued to stare at him, hoping that he would quickly take back the hand holding the porcelain spoon and take the plate of meatballs away.

Meng Junhuai raised his eyes to look at her after listening to these words without moving a muscle, and let out a snort.

Yuyin watched him throw the porcelain spoon into the plate, turned her head and rested her forehead, and continued to laugh lowly restrainedly.She stared at him blankly, thought about it for three times and didn't think any of her words were worthy of his laughter. After staring at him for a while, she hesitated to ask: "Your Highness...?"

"Hahahahaha!" The moment Meng Junhuai heard her voice, as if some kind of seal had been lifted, he laughed and lay down on the bed.

This little nun is so much fun!He had never heard her explain anything in such a hurry!In the past, she always reasoned with him calmly about everything, and occasionally threw in a few words of Zen; even on the day Yan Heng was on trial, she was frightened, and she still had three points when talking to him. calm.

He had never seen her speak so fast as pearls before!I've never seen her argue so anxiously!
Don't be afraid of the sky, don't be afraid of the earth, just be afraid of Sixi Balls hahahaha!His princess is really different from ordinary people!
Lying on the bed, Meng Junhuai sat up after laughing enough, turned around to look at her, and couldn't help flicking her forehead "cheaply".

Yu Yin couldn't get back to her senses, rubbed her forehead, and asked him carefully, "Your Highness, are you alright?"

"It's okay, it's okay." There was still a residual smile in his voice, and he took another bite of the ball, "I won't force you to eat it all, you take two bites yourself, and then go to bed."

"..." Yu Yin immediately thought about the wording of rejection.

"Be obedient, just two bites." Meng Junhuai patted her forehead again, "You always eat such a vegetarian diet, it won't work after a long time, and you can slowly make up for it while you are young."

He paused for a while, wanting to wait for her rebuttal or refusal before continuing to persuade her - he has been typing this draft for a long time!He asked the doctor and read medical books, and collected a lot of reasons to persuade her to eat meat slowly. If she didn't agree, he threw them to her.

Seeing her pursing her lips, and he was listening attentively, she silently stretched out her hand, picked up the porcelain spoon on the plate, and ate the meatball he just cut off.

Yu Yin felt nauseated when she first ate it, but she soon calmed down after a little patience.So she slowed down after eating this bite, and took another bite herself.

Meng Junhuai looked at her in surprise, and when he saw her finish eating two mouthfuls, he even felt a little guilty.

"... Yuyin?" He tentatively reached out and touched her shoulder, "Are you angry? Don't be angry, listen to me..."

"I'm not angry." Yuyin put down the porcelain spoon, knowing that because she was not eating well, her expression was probably really hard to see that she was angry.

She took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth slowly, then looked at him, and continued: "I'm really not angry, Your Highness, you are right, I will just listen, there is nothing to be angry about."

Meng Junhuai stared at her, and felt touched by some strange feeling in his heart, which turned into an inexplicable embarrassment. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that there was actually nothing to be embarrassed about.

In the early morning of the next day, the courtyard in the north.

At dawn, all the people living in the two courtyards got up.They didn't get together, but just looked outside from time to time to listen to the movement, wondering if Mrs. Lu had come back.

Several people were thinking about what kind of luck this Lu family had hit, that she was suddenly invited by Yang Enlu himself yesterday, and told her to dress up well and go to serve the prince at night.

What is this? !She also doesn't even see the face of Yi County King. From entering the mansion to now, the "friendship" between the two is just a gift during the festivals!

The courtyard door squeaked, and the short sound pierced the tranquility of the morning.

"Hey... I'm back, I'm back!" Jiang Liangdi immediately leaned over to look at the window, seeing that her excitement was not responded to, she turned her head to greet the person sitting not far away, "Lu Fengyi is back! Come and see look!"

Miao shi forced a smile and had no choice but to walk to the window.

Adding up the two courtyards, Jiang Liangdi is the one with the deepest qualifications and the highest status, but neither she nor the Lu family likes Jiang Liangdi.Seeing her coming to her room early in the morning, Mrs. Lu wanted to find an excuse to escape. She really couldn't understand Mrs. Jiang, who was obviously jealous, but still wanted to put on a look of watching others. Stance.

In addition, Miao's heart has another feeling of discomfort slowly spreading.After standing only two steps away from the window for a while, she finally couldn't help leaning into the crack of the window to look.

She saw that Mrs. Lu was still dressed as when he left yesterday, but there were two more eunuchs behind him, both of them were holding things in their hands, one was holding three or four pieces of cloth, and the other was holding a box, probably jewelry or something like that something.

Those two people obviously had high seats, either by the prince's side or by the princess's.Mrs. Miao saw Mrs. Lu thanking them politely, and at the same time, she remembered Jiang Liangdi's jealous voice: "Hey, look, look! The one who has the opportunity to go ahead is It's different, let's not talk about not being favored in the future, the rewards under the nose can be collected first!"

Miao couldn't help frowning, Jiang Liangdi still focused on looking outside, clicked her lips and said: "I don't know what kind of supernatural ability our Lu Fengyi has, so that Eunuch Yang actually took her away? She refuses to accept even the slightest benefit, what good does she have!"

"Miss ** please don't say a few words." Ms. Miao was finally so annoyed that she refused to listen any more, tried her best to "persuade" her gently, and then turned and left the room.

Mrs. Lu was sending the two eunuchs out of the courtyard. When Mrs. Miao walked over, she heard the two of them politely say to Mrs. Lu: "Young lady, please take a break. If you have something to do in the future, I will invite you later."

"Two father-in-laws, go slowly." Lu Shi nodded, turned around, saw Miao Shi walking, and said with a smile, "You got up so early again."

"My sister went to serve Your Highness, and I didn't see you sleeping for a while." As soon as Miao said that, she was surprised by her own meanness, and hurriedly calmed down, stepped forward to hold Lu's hand, "Is my sister tired? Your Highness... ...do you treat people well?"

"...It's pretty good." Lu Shi forced himself to restrain the difficulty in his smile.She really couldn't tell others, in fact, she just greeted King Yijun last night, and then King Yijun left the yard in a hurry and didn't come back all night.

She also stuffed a lot of money to inquire with the people around King Yijun, and finally a little eunuch was willing to accept her money and told her that the prince had gone to the concubine's place.

Princess, what does this mean?
Lu's heart was uneasy, and he thought about it as he walked into his room.

According to Yang Enlu's words yesterday, calling her to serve was also the meaning of the princess.But at night, the prince went to the main courtyard of the princess.

Did the concubine intentionally let them see the priority?But she...why did she suddenly think of Li this prestige?
Who messed with her?

Lu shi sat down on the couch wearily, and suddenly bounced up again.

She remembered that a while ago, Mrs. Gu from the courtyard next door had entered the palace, as if to see one of her aunts.But when he came back, he brought a lot of rewards, and Lu's servants who recorded the files said that they were rewarded by Concubine Ding of Yongning Palace.

Concubine Ding...

Mrs. Lu took a deep breath in shock, lay on her back on the couch and pondered for a long time, and finally called her maidservant: "I'm going to kowtow to the princess in a moment to thank you. See how much money we have now, set it aside for this month's use The rest...the rest will be divided into one point, and each of the servants in the main courtyard will have a copy."

"Ah?!" The servant girl was terrified, "Lady, then we will have a hard time for a few months! The daily management and rewards are all spent on money!"

Mrs. Lu shook her head: "Do as I say, this is a big deal, definitely not the time to be stingy."

In the side room on the other side, after sitting in a muffled voice for a long time, Mrs. Miao finally had to admit that she was really out of breath.

She suddenly realized that she was not more magnanimous than Jiang Liangdi, but Jiang Liangdi would write jealousy on her face and talk about it, but she would not.

She and Mrs. Lu were brought in together by Concubine Ding. It's fine if they didn't have the chance before, but now... now there is one person who has the chance, but why is it Mrs. Lu?

main courtyard.

Yu Yin sat in front of the desk and looked at the booklet spread out in front of her, feeling blunt in her heart: Why is this person so annoying? !

He didn't like the fact that she arranged for the concubines in the mansion to take turns serving him, so that's fine.What does it mean to draw a big red cross from left to right on the list she wrote with a pen dipped in cinnabar?Anyway, she writes very seriously!
Anyway, it took a lot of effort!

annoying!He was deliberately bullying her!Just like the words he brazenly whispered into her ear last night...!
Counting this kind of thing many times, from the first time he came to sleep in her room, he must hug her!But as soon as he hugged her, she involuntarily froze. Seeing him talking to her yesterday and not going to sleep for a while, she managed to discuss it with him and said, "Your Highness, are you... relaxed?"

He glanced at her and gave her two firm words: "I don't!"

"...?" She didn't understand what he was thinking at all, and after thinking for a while, she finally asked, "Your Highness, what are you doing...you hug me every time?"

As a result, he curled his lips and raised his eyebrows and smiled, leaned his head close to her ear, and gave her the answer in a straight voice: "I bully you!"

Xie Yuyin: "..."

The answer was so shameless that she didn't know what to say.

So she lay in his arms like this, listening to him carefully explain to her about the concubines in the back house.

He told her with a gloomy expression: "You are my princess, and I will not beat around the bush. To be honest, the people in the back house only come in earlier than you, and no one later than you. If I like them, I will come in sooner." See, you don't need to worry about this, good boy!"

Yu Yin thought for a while, then she understood, and said seriously: "Then His Highness only likes You Shi and He Shi? Then I only arrange for them two?"

"...I really don't need your arrangements!" Meng Junhuai looked sad and indignant, he didn't understand how she came up with the trick of "arrangement" for them, and she still stubbornly planned to continue to arrange them? !
He pinched her upper and lower lips to prevent her from speaking: "You Shi has been making a lot of noise recently, don't push her any further; as for He Shi, I made her a side concubine for the sake of He Jing, understand? At that time, Emperor Father hadn't given you and me a marriage, and I didn't know when I would have another concubine, so I handed over He Jing to her."

After he finished speaking, he let go of her lips, Yu Yin thought for a while, then nodded "Oh".

He continued: "In the beginning, I will be with her... Cough, because she and Wang are both gifted by the queen mother, and it is really inappropriate for me to see neither of them. But don't worry, it's just a face-to-face. You don't need to bother about this, even if the concubine mother has a misunderstanding, you don't need to maintain it like this - I will take care of this matter, you don't have to worry about it."

"Oh..." She nodded after thinking about it, and was relieved by his words.Then suddenly my heart throbbed, and a strange thought came to me in a daze.

——In such a short moment, she really wanted to ask him, since he first met He Shi because of the queen.Then he treats her like this now, is it just because she is the concubine who was ordered by the emperor to marry her?
But this thought was dismissed by herself after only a moment.Then she thought, what is there to ask?Naturally because of this!

If it wasn't for the emperor's will, he wouldn't have thought of marrying her, and she wouldn't have thought of marrying him, would he?She had just returned home, and the family was planning to find a marriage for her, but the princes were not in the family's consideration.

Thinking of this, she seemed to have calmed down a little, but she still seemed not very happy.

But she still didn't say anything, just heard Meng Junhuai say again: "I will go to the palace tomorrow and explain clearly to my concubine, go to sleep."

In the bedroom of the front house, Meng Junhuai changed his clothes after eating breakfast, and prepared to enter the palace.No matter how urgent the matter of Princess Shumin is, he still intends to let it go first. In any case, the matter of Yuyin must be settled first.

The mother and concubine blamed Yuyin for such a crime, the little nun must have been wronged to death!

——He felt wronged for her!People usually just recite scriptures and pay respects to Buddha, how can they have the leisure to suppress concubines?
Yu Yin is not that kind of person!

In fact, what to do with this matter, he had already thought about it that day, but she insisted that she had to take care of it herself, and he thought it was fine, so he didn't go into the palace again the next day, and just handled the matter according to his own thoughts.

As a result, the way she cooks...

Forget it, let him come!
Sitting in the carriage, Meng Junhuai walked all the way in a state of being unable to help but laugh from time to time. Basically, the first half of the way was laughing at Xie Yuyin's way of handling things that was too rare and too funny, and the second half of the way was laughing at himself for the past few months. Jing was fighting wits and courage with this concubine.

When he arrived at Yongning Palace, Concubine Ding was reading alone on the Luohan bed in the bedroom.

"Mother Concubine Ann." Meng Junhuai bowed, but did not hear anything for a long time.

Concubine Ding calmly finished reading the page before looking at him: "You still know how to come to say hello. On the day of Bengong's birthday, you first yelled at Bengong here, and then made decisions for you at the banquet." Wangfei Tiancai, who are you showing off to?"

Meng Junhuai listened to this remark without saying a word, Concubine Ding turned pale, and said in a raised voice: "Come here, let me have a seat."

The court lady quickly brought the futon and placed it in front of Luohan's bed. After Meng Junhuai sat down, she was silent for a while. Seeing that the mother and concubine were silent, she opened her mouth: "Mother and concubine calm down, but if this kind of thing happens again, the son will still return." Gotta do it."

"...You have such a temper!" Concubine Ding laughed angrily.

Meng Junhuai raised his head and said, "Because it's not Yuyin's fault, it's you who wrongly blamed her." He paused for a while, "Tell the truth to my concubine, Erchen and Yuyin haven't consummated their marriage yet, she doesn't even worry about it, what do you think? Does she have the intention to suppress the concubine's room?"

Concubine Ding was immediately taken aback by what he said.

After a long while, Concubine Ding showed a deeply incredulous expression: "What did you say? You are not married yet...but you clearly often go to her room, is that because she doesn't want to?"

Meng Junhuai's face was calm: "It has nothing to do with her."

"You can't say everything has nothing to do with her!"

"It has nothing to do with her!" Meng Junhuai overwhelmed Concubine Ding's voice, and after a sudden silence in the hall, he said again, "On the contrary, she mentioned it on her own initiative, and it's because I don't want her to live in an uncomfortable way."

Meng Junhuai left his seat and bowed: "I came here today to ask my concubine mother. Who did I hear gossip that day that led to my misunderstanding of Yuyin. No matter who said it, please tell me the concubine mother truthfully. "

Concubine Ding looked at her son in front of her, and slowly took a breath.

"Are you...are you really in love with your new concubine?"

After a long time, Concubine Ding said so.

On the north side of the palace, there is a sense of imminent movement in the tranquility of the courtyards on both sides.

The fact that Mrs. Lu was summoned to the front last night, no matter there were other reasons, or just because of Mrs. Lu's luck, it was enough to make others feel lucky, and hoped that Mrs. Lu could invite someone before today.

Finally, the figures of four or five eunuchs appeared on the path in front of the courtyard, and they all ran quickly, getting closer and closer. When there were still three feet away, the people in the courtyard recognized that they were the people next to King Yijun. uniform.

"It's coming... It's really coming!" Several young maidservants became excited, and immediately turned back to their master's house to report.

Wulu ran into the room and didn't even have time to salute, so she said to Mrs. Gu: "There is another person coming up ahead, maybe today it will be..."

The knock on the door interrupted Wulu's words. The two masters and servants looked over together. Outside the half-open door, the eunuch bowed and said, "Gu Fengyi, the servant is from the front yard. Eunuch Yang ordered the servant to come and invite you." Feng Yi goes to the front and waits."

As soon as the words fell, both of them burst into joy.
