The little lady in the palace

Chapter 33 Mind

Seeing the dark face of King Yijun when he exited Yongning Palace, Yang Enlu even breathed lightly knowingly.

But he was not stupid, he silently signaled a young apprentice to go to the hall to ask what was going on, and he didn't hide anything from there, and gave him the bottom line in a concise manner.

So Yang Enlu knew something in his heart. He knew that the Fengyi Gu family in the mansion had stumbled the princess a while ago. As for the princess, she was wronged by the concubine Ding, and the prince was very angry. Here comes the bottom.

After figuring this out, Yang Enlu knew what to do.How smart is he?Doing things a hundred times does not necessarily make a mistake once, and taking one step to see three steps is hard work that has been practiced for many years.

Therefore, when King Yijun left the palace, his words had already been given.Not much, just one sentence: "ride back on a fast horse and ask Gu Fengyi to wait in front."

Then he was at ease.Seeing that the prince is so angry, it is certain that he will send Gu Shi down after he returns, he is just being careful.

——The prince has a big temper at first, but now he is on fire again, if he waits for him to go back and open his mouth before spreading the word to Mrs Gu, then before Mrs Gu arrives, there is no certainty on who the anger will be directed at!Whoever is close to him is unlucky!

Then it's better to call Gu Shi directly, and let her pick up the anger that should be directed at her!

Meng Junhuai didn't speak all the way.

He was very impressed with Gu's. Long before she entered the mansion, he had heard that she was "excellent in chess", so he played a game of chess with her the next day.But in the chess game, he felt her "respect". From the beginning to the end, it was obviously not a chess move that a middle-level player would use, and it was clear that he wanted him to win.

At that time, he just felt that he lacked interest, and felt that such a talented girl shouldn't live so carefully—he couldn't eat her, right?
Putting the two things together now, he was pissed off.

Gu Shi didn't even dare to beat him at chess, but dared to plot against the princess when he turned his head?It can be seen that she is not really timid, but thinks that he will be happy if he wins chess, and he will treat her well when he is happy.

To put it bluntly, it's just scheming and watching the dishes!
Meng Junhuai got off the carriage and didn't even stop in front of the mansion gate, and every step he walked in was still full of anger.He thought that this matter must be severely punished, who would dare to step on the head of his princess?Against her!
In the blink of an eye, he had passed a gate, and his residence was not far away. He originally wanted to have a sip of tea before taking care of this matter, but a soft voice pierced through the anger and went straight to his ears: "Your Highness."

Meng Junhuai stopped at his feet.

When he had fixed his eyes to see who was a few steps away, the eunuchs who followed him could clearly see that Wang Ye's complexion had turned dark again.

"All blessings, Your Highness." Gu Shi bowed steadily, as gentle and gentle as when she first met him and greeted Concubine Ding, "I heard that I was summoned in a hurry, and I didn't have time to get dressed and dressed, Your Highness forgive me."

Meng Junhuai looked at her coldly, and after hearing her finish speaking, he took two steps forward: "Isn't Mrs. Gu?"

Mrs. Gu didn't notice any difference, and replied with a smirk: "Yes, my concubine is Mrs. Gu."

"A person who is good at chess really has a lot of thought, and can bypass the king and the princess to talk to the concubine mother."

Gu Shi was startled suddenly, and looked at him in panic: "Your Highness, I didn't..."

"You don't have to get up now." Meng Junhuai's eyes were gloomy, and he glanced sideways in the direction of the main courtyard, "Aren't you fond of thinking? Then try to get the words to the princess' ears, she Ken forgive you, get up again."

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Gu's complexion turned pale immediately, and she suddenly regained consciousness when she saw King Yijun turn around and leave.Panicked, she reached out to grab the hem of his clothes, but it was in vain.

The fear in Gu's heart gradually increased, and he shouted without hesitation: "Your Highness, forgive me this time! I will not dare again in the future! I... I will go and apologize to the princess!"

Did not hear back.

After leaving Mrs. Gu, Meng Junhuai went back to his room and drank half a cup of tea quietly, and then suddenly his whole body trembled, and a burst of embarrassment swept over him!

All the way from the palace to the mansion just now, he was immersed in worrying about Mrs. Gu, now that this matter is done, another matter suddenly arises.

When he was in Yongning Palace, he argued for Xie Yuyin. After examining him for a while, the mother and concubine said in a leisurely tone, "You are really in love with your new concubine, aren't you?"

At that time, he said without thinking: "No!"

Before the words fell, he felt that his face was hot, and asked himself strangely: "No way?!" Then he continued to argue with his mother and concubine about business matters.

Now that this conversation came up again unexpectedly, he couldn't help asking himself again: "Isn't it?!"

Probably not, that little nun is ascetic.Except for the time when she took the initiative to undress him, he has always been unable to desire her, where did the emotion come from?The concubine thinks too much.

He just thinks that this little nun is kind-hearted, but she also knows the importance.For example, when it comes to He Jing, she always would rather be with him than to protect He Jing; but when interrogating the person who is about to come out of Yongning Palace, she is firmly on his side, and ask her The eldest brother helped him.

Oh, in fact, she was also quite beautiful, and probably because of the Buddhist aura, her temperament was very different from ordinary people-a few times, when he went to the main courtyard to find her, she was copying or reading scriptures, and he stood there. Looking at it from a distance at the door, I felt that it was a quiet and serene Jade Bodhisattva.

Other than that, he didn't have any other opinions about her. If he wasn't forced to say one more thing...he could probably only say that she was quite interesting.

She has accumulated ten years of Buddhist scriptures and Zen words in her mind, and she came to be his princess before she had time to learn the worldly affairs.He sees many things more clearly than he does, and can even give him advice, but there are also many times when he is ignorant.She panicked when her aunt said a few words to her when she went home, and when he jokingly threatened her again, she burst into tears, and the next day she wanted to "fight hard"...

Meng Junhuai still wants to laugh when he thinks of this episode, he was really scared that day, little nun, before you are domineering, at least give me a hint?

So, the reason why he protects her is actually very simple, it's not what the concubine mother said!With such a girl by his side, he didn't want to see her being wronged for nothing, and he couldn't bear to make her unhappy!

and many more!

Meng Junhuai felt that something was wrong, and suppressed his emotions, he took a breath of air-conditioning slowly.

He...can't bear to see her unhappy?Thinking about this sentence, why is it inexplicably... strange?
what……?
He thought about it from another angle and asked himself, does he like that little nun?
In the main courtyard, Xie Yuyin was listening to Shan Shan and Zhao Chengrui talking to her about the "strange thing" that just happened.

To put it bluntly, yesterday Yang Enlu invited her to go ahead according to her wishes, but Lu Shi, who slept alone in Meng Junhuai's room all night, gave rewards to the people around her when he came to kowtow to her to thank her.

This is nothing at all, corals and the others have never had a lot of benefits on weekdays.Everywhere in the mansion will fawn on more or less, and it is impossible to completely refuse.

The difference this time is that the Lu family has prepared rewards for everyone in her main courtyard - from Shan Shan and Zhao Chengrui who are in charge, down to the rough envoy girl that she may not even have seen, none of them are left behind. .

"I've never seen such a reward." Shan Shan frowned and said, "If you say it's for flattery, then it's useless to flatter someone, and it's too eye-catching and weird, we must Is it for you? If you are not allowed to walk with that side after you say something here, won't she get any benefits?"

So it shouldn't be for flattery, let alone to put some eyeliner on her. "Casting a wide net" has nothing to do with it.

Zhao Chengrui also said: "Xia Nu also finds it very strange. Xia Nu asked a few people, and they all said that the girl next to Lu Fengyi stuffed money and ran away, and she didn't chat with others blindly, let alone who wanted to mention Lu Fengyi in front of the lady. , as if it was just to say thank you, as long as the other party accepts it."

So it's not for being promoted by her.

The two things that are most likely to cause headaches may have been screened out, so Yuyin felt relieved, thought for a while and asked: "How much did you all give? How much does it add up?"

Coral put the purse on her desk: "Boys and Zhao Chengrui have four qian, Hu Po and the others are three qian, and the rest are mostly two qian. The people in our group add up, there are always seven or eight taels. "

Seven or eight taels of silver, this money is nothing to Xie Yuyin, but she has also read the account books, and knows that Feng Yi in the mansion receives one tael of silver a month. , There are still a lot of places to spend money.

Lu's has spent a lot of money.

Yu Yin frowned slightly, and stretched out her hand to push the purse that Shan Shan put on the desk: "Since I gave it to you, you can just keep it, but we can't really let Lu Fengyi's side get rid of the pot. Go to the treasury to get ten taels of silver and send it to her , and then tell her not to be so polite, we are all in the same mansion, so that she can live with peace of mind."

Zhao Chengrui bowed and said "yes" to do it, Yuyin picked up the scriptures and continued to read her scriptures, and suddenly a light cough came into the room.

Meng Junhuai went into the room without raising his eyelids and said, "I see Zhao Chengrui went out with a bag full of broken silver. Do you want to buy something you like or..."

"Give it back to Lu Fengyi." Yu Yin stood up and replied, looking up, he saw that his gaze fixed on her face seemed a little strange...?Anyway, not quite the same as usual.

"Your Highness?" She called out hesitantly, and Meng Junhuai's gaze suddenly averted: "Cough... oh." Then he found another quarrel, "Why do you owe her money?"

"Oh, I can't say I owe it." Yuyin said, and told him all the ins and outs just now, and finally said, "I thought I couldn't make her life difficult, so I asked Zhao Chengrui to give me another money. She sent it back. By the way, I can also tell her that if she really felt uneasy for some reason and put money into the main courtyard like this, she will be safe in the future."

"Yeah." Meng Junhuai managed to come back to his senses after hearing what she said. He suppressed the ups and downs in his mind and smiled at her, "That... my fourth sister, who met me when I returned home the night before yesterday. Princess Shumin, something happened. Our brothers had a discussion that day, and we wanted the concubines of each prefecture to accompany her first, so you..."

He didn't know why he was so nervous, after a while, he still said cautiously: "If you don't want to go, forget it, I'll just ask first."

Yu Yin frowned and looked at him, feeling more and more that something was wrong with him.

The night was deep, and the palace was quiet everywhere, except for a small commotion in the yard behind the entrance of the former residence.

"Elder-in-law, please do me a favor..." Wu Lu saw that his wife had just rested in the inverted room for less than a moment before being dragged out again, her eyes were red, "The lady just knelt down and passed out, what about you?" , You have seen it too, how can you bear it if you really kneel down again!"

The two eunuchs put Mrs. Gu down and continued to kneel. The one on the left yawned and said to Wulu, "Don't blame us. Your Highness said that the princess would spare her before she could get up. How dare we keep her here?" Resting inside? Besides, what time is it, do you think we are willing to follow here and stare?"

They were so sleepy that their eyelids were fighting!

These two eunuchs wanted to scold Mrs. Gu to death.If it wasn't for Mrs. Gu, they would have had such a hard job at night?In the middle of the night, I can't sleep and I can't get half of the bounty. Gu's kneeling is broken. Looking back, others can't help but feel that they are playing tricks. Isn't this their bad luck?
Gu's hands rested on the ground for a long time before he could barely straighten his waist.She called Wu Lu, gritted her teeth and asked, "Have you gone to the main courtyard to pray? Wangfei, Wangfei is a person who eats fast and recites Buddha..."

"Your maidservant can't even enter the main courtyard door!" Wu Lu helped Mrs. Gu and began to cry, "And...His Highness is in the main courtyard now."

Gu's heart burst into flames uncontrollably.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Then you go and beg Lu Fengyi again. She has given benefits to everyone in the main courtyard today, and the people in the main courtyard will always give her face. She won't help, but she doesn't want to help."

"Okay...Okay, I'll go now!" Wu Lu responded, stood up and ran quickly to the north.She was also really terrified, if Mrs. Gu really...really died, she would have to go back home as a married man.At that time, she will still have good fruit to eat?Madame must kill her!

The more Wu Lu thought about it, the colder her body became. When she stepped into the courtyard, she glanced at it, and immediately saw the servant girl beside Lu waiting at the door of Miao's room.

She went straight there: "Dongzao, let me meet Lu Fengyi! If Lu Fengyi refuses to help, no one will be able to save my wife!"

Dongzao stood in front of the door and refused to let her in: "Our lady was talking to Miao Fengyi, and she specifically ordered not to let anyone in. If I let you in, will you bear the blame?"

In the room, as soon as Miao stood up, she was grabbed by Lu: "Don't go."

"From noon to now, Mrs. Gu has been kneeling for most of the day!" Mrs. Miao stared at her incredulously, "Why are you so cruel!"

She didn't understand how Mrs. Lu served the prince once, so she was so defiant.Right now, among the six of them, she is probably the only one who can talk to the concubine, but she actually watched Gu Shi being punished and ignored it?
Mrs. Lu frowned: "I can't ask the princess, and you don't care about Mrs. Gu, we can't afford to mess with the higher-ups. If the princess is upset, shall we go kneeling with Mrs. Gu?"

"You..." Miao was too angry to speak.

Lu didn't pay any attention to her anymore, she felt that it was right for her to ignore her.

Today, she tried to find out what the concubine wanted - she prepared gifts for everyone in the main courtyard just to find out what the concubine wanted.The concubine asked her to serve the king of Yijun, but let her sleep alone in the yard of the king of Yijun, which was really strange.She couldn't figure it out for a while, and didn't know whether the princess was trying to show her power to them, or if there was any other meaning.

Then she thought about the fact that Mrs. Gu entered the palace a while ago and got a reward from Yongning Palace.Mrs. Lu thought, if the concubine suddenly gains power, it must be Gu's overstepping that makes her unhappy, right?

She followed this idea to test it out, and prepared gifts for everyone in the main courtyard, and there could be many kinds of results.The princess can thank her, ignore her, or scold her for being unruly.But in the end, the result she got was that the concubine sent back ten taels of silver, so that she could live with peace of mind.

This is the same as calling her and leaving her there... It's the same!

She thought, the concubine wanted them to understand that the affairs in the back house were in the hands of her main wife, she could make them serve King Yijun at will, and she could make them unable to serve at will.Similarly, she can also not care about their "management" of her main courtyard, because what they take seriously is not worth mentioning in the eyes of her mistress, so she sent the money back so simply, and understated it He told her to live in peace.

Lu felt that she understood what the concubine was thinking, and the concubine wanted to put on a posture that she didn't care about their existence at all.Well, if they insist on getting closer to her and forcing her to realize her "existence", they will probably have no good fruit to eat.

Therefore, she didn't want to interfere in the slightest thing about the princess.No matter what the end result of Gu's kneeling, it has nothing to do with her!

In the bedroom in the main courtyard, Meng Junhuai couldn't sleep anymore.

In fact, he had slept with Xie Yuyin many times, but this was the first time he felt so irritable.

If he wanted to say that he had a desire for her...in fact, he didn't.But he just couldn't fall asleep, he didn't even dare to look at her, let alone sleep with her in his arms like in the past, so he could only turn his back to her and try his best to calm himself down.

So she, who slept dishonestly, took advantage of it this time. She had already kicked and punched him several times in the back, and he only dared to turn his head slightly to stare at her, and then continued to meditate silently.

There's no way, now that he sees her, he wants to wake her up and talk to her, he must be crazy!

Meng Junhuai scolded himself like this until the middle of the night. After Xie Yuyin slept relatively "steadily", he finally couldn't help but tilt his head.

Then he couldn't help but turned around completely.

The little nun in front of her was sleeping soundly, her two eyelashes curved beautifully.Meng Junhuai endured and endured, but he didn't wake her up to talk to him. He put his head on his arms and looked at her while teasing him that he was such a big man, that he was embarrassed by such a matter of love.

Then he touched her eyelashes meanly, and counted her eyelashes boredly.Say "like" on one count, and "dislike" on another.
