The little lady in the palace

Chapter 35 Gifts
For the next half a minute, Xie Yuyin was a little dazed and didn't know how to talk about Princess Shumin well. Why did Meng Junhuai suddenly bring up the issue of whether he had been to Bada Hutong?
But seeing what he said seriously, she listened first.

Meng Junhuai said with some embarrassment that he hadn't "never been there", but absolutely, absolutely, absolutely never had anything wrong with any girl from Bada Hutong.

So what was he doing in Bada Hutong?It's actually like this:

The princes of the Great Yin Dynasty left the palace early to build a mansion. He was 15 years old when he built the mansion, and the Guo family hadn't passed the family yet.The 16-year-old Fifth Brother, the 14-year-old Seventh Brother and the Eighth Brother came out almost from front to back.

Teenage years, for boys, is the time when they want to challenge all new things and feel "I am already an adult!".Moreover, the princes have all grown up in the palace since they were young, and they are faced with the one-acre-three-point land in the Forbidden City every day... Occasionally going out of the palace to escape the summer heat or something, that is, to change to a "one-acre three-point land".

At this time, suddenly the palace gates were opened to let them each have their own mansions. What does it mean?The vast world outside, the bright lights of the capital, the luxurious life in the alleys...

God!Never seen it!

A few people saw everything new at that time, and they were not short of money and they were all members of the royal family, so there was nothing to scare them out of the palace gate.

Thus, the fifth prince, the oldest among the four, waved his hand: "Brothers! Let's go shopping in the brothel!"——they walked shoulder to shoulder.

However, the "yaozi" that can catch the eyes of the princes is not an ordinary place, and the people in charge of the work in it are getting better and better.At that time, it was estimated that looking at the temperament and age of these people, they had a little guess about their identities, and they handled it very "properly".

——They said they wanted to find the oiran, so the building called the oiran.But they didn't let the oiran do anything in bed with them, they just sang songs and drank to make the young masters happy, and then sent them away!
Xie Yuyin felt very strange when he heard this: "Then you really left after listening to the music and drinking? Going to the brothel... Isn't it all for 'that' thing?"

No matter where you go, isn't it strange that you forget your "original intention" after you go there!

Meng Junhuai, who rested his forehead and talked about the past, raised his eyes and glanced at her. Seeing her hearing this kind of thing, her eyes were shining, and she was dizzy!

He rubbed his temples annoyedly: "Where did we play with them at that time? Oiran, everyone has countless people, and I was coaxed away by them without knowing it... and I paid a lot of money willingly." Let's talk about Chen Miaorong who was brought back to the concubine's mansion by Zhang Wei this time... I remember that she didn't seem to even smile much that day, and she coaxed Fifth Brother to give her the jade pendant she just got. It’s enough to change a house in Beijing.”

Oh, my lords, you are all taken advantage of!

Yu Yin thought this was too funny, and laughed so hard that her shoulders trembled while lying on the table.Meng Junhuai glared at her furiously for a while and then laughed again, "Don't laugh anymore! Don't say anything, or the Lord will cut off your vegetarian dishes!"

"..." Xie Yuyin choked on her laughter, but her shoulders still trembled for a while before she finally calmed down.

Then she raised her head and asked him: "But if you say that, what happened to Princess Shumin is strange. If a few princes go, the people there will be able to see that something is wrong, and if the son-in-law goes, they should be able to see it too? Ruolian Serving the prince is afraid of causing trouble... Then serving the son-in-law, but directly offending the princess, is he not afraid of causing trouble?"

"Hey, this is not the same." Meng Junhuai's eyes suddenly showed contempt, "We went there for freshness, and everyone who should be brought along. The people inside have a guess, so they will naturally ask the followers. Yang Enlu and the others I'm also afraid of accidents, even if I don't know my identity, I will give them a thorough understanding, so that they know. But what is that Zhang Wei..."

He snorted coldly in his nose: "Without the princess, he is nothing. The servant is not stupid. Seeing him go to that kind of place with Fourth Sister behind his back, I am afraid that he will strangle him to death for self-protection, and dare to tell others the truth." Say this is who?"

"Oh..." Xie Yuyin understood.This kind of thing is really a capital crime, everyone knows it.Therefore, under the premise that the servants caught in the middle are not sure whether to report or not, the only thing they can do is to suppress the matter.

——Thinking about it this way, what happened to Princess Shumin right now is even more unbelievable.Compared with the son-in-law, everyone is obviously more afraid of her as a princess, but she still makes herself so wronged?
Xie Yuyin sighed: "The princess is too virtuous. Now that this is happening, His Highness needs to help her out."

"Well, naturally." He nodded, and then said more bluntly than her, "Fourth sister is not virtuous, I will never let my daughter live like this."

Yu Yin nodded.

Meng Junhuai looked at her and wanted to say, if we have a daughter in the future, I will definitely not let her like this!
——If you think about it, forget it, what kind of daughter are you talking about!Haven't consummated the room yet!
The east courtyard of the back house.

Youshi's complexion is not good, his temper is not good, and the people serving him are cautious.

But lately she's trying to keep herself from getting angry.

The child in the stomach is growing up day by day, but the prince should not come.Although there are still many rewards, and they are detailed in all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, it still makes You Shi calm down like never before.

For the first time, she wondered, did she really go too far in the past?Maybe Prince Yi would really be angry with her?

After realizing it, she had a little fear of "it's too late", and then she had to pin her hope on "remedial work".

After all, she still has a child in her womb.She thought, if she had a safe pregnancy and let the child be born safely, there would always be a place for her in the mansion.

In short, at this time she can no longer show any petty temper.That would not only be bad for the child in her womb, but it might also make the prince even more angry with her, and Ah Li might be handed over to the concubine.

While thinking about it, You Shi took a deep breath to relieve himself.Then she glanced at Shanzhi next to her: "I have stopped talking a few times. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Yes..." Shanzhi leaned back, looked at her expression, and then carefully described what happened in the north in the past few days, and finally said, "After the princess ordered yesterday, Mrs. Gu moved to the courtyard in the northwest There, you know, it’s been useless for years, and even though it’s been tidied up, it’s really not a place to live in.”

Youshi raised his eyelids, but didn't answer, waiting for Shan Zhi to continue.

Shanzhi then said again: "Look, maidservant, she can't find anyone to help her now. In the future, let's not say that others intend to bully her, and the benefits will not go to her anyway, so she wants to come to our east courtyard."

Youshi breathed a sigh of relief: "How did you say the original words?"

"The original words are... Originally, my status was too low, so I couldn't serve the lord, but I didn't dare to take a monthly order for nothing, so I thought it would be the same for you to serve you." Shan Zhi thought for a while, then added, "I also said that I could serve you." It is enough to do chores here with you, and I don’t want to do anything else, just want to make my heart safe.”

"Heh, just for peace of mind?" Youshi burst out laughing, "Princess punished her, she turned around and climbed to me, could it be for peace of mind?"

Shan Zhi kept silent.In fact, everyone knows the truth here. "Pursuing peace of mind" is just a beautiful scene. What is actually intended is that the East Court and the Main Court are at odds.

You Shi shook his head: "Tell her, I have enough manpower here, and the accounting of the mansion has been handed over to Concubine He, and there is really no work for her. Let her get the monthly report in peace, there is nothing to be sorry about."

"Yes." Shanzhi was blessed and wanted to answer.Youshi stopped her again: "Wait."

Shanzhi stopped, and Youshi let out a heavy breath: "Go and report this to the princess."

"My lady..." Shanzhi was obviously surprised, and then she answered "Yes" after being taken aback.

In Beijing, after the concubines and Princess Shumin walked around, all the brothers knew the ins and outs of the matter.So a day was set for all the mansions to be free, and everyone went to Prince Jin's mansion.

It was not difficult to think about what to do next. When the concubines went to the princess mansion that day, Princess Shumin had already let go and did not intend to protect the son-in-law and mother-in-law.It's just that Princess Shumin's heart is in turmoil now, and she wants to be quiet. If she wants to settle the matter while it's hot, she has to rely on the brothers to write a note for her and submit it.

Prince Jin is the eldest brother, so he naturally took the job.In addition, Princess Shumin's two younger brothers, the Seventh Prince and the Eleventh Prince, also expressed that they would write a booklet and hand it to their father.

It's settled.The people did not delay any longer in Prince Jin's Mansion, bid farewell to the eldest brother Huang, and went back to the mansion to do their own affairs.

Only Meng Junhuai was left behind by Prince Jin.

After Prince Jin took him to the study room, he retreated and took a box from the drawer and put it on the table: "Here, you take this."

"This is..." Meng Junhuai was confused, seeing that although the box was made of exquisite materials, there was no carving or decoration, and there was no writing to indicate what was inside, so he didn't understand what the elder brother meant.

Prince Jin walked up to him and handed the box to him: "Good thing, it's specially reserved for you, keep it."

what?

Meng Junhuai still looked suspicious, and it was inconvenient for Prince Jin to speak directly, so he only opened the lid for him to take a look, and then quickly closed it again.

Meng Junhuai's face turned red immediately: "Brother...?"

He waited a long time in embarrassment before asking: "Brother... what do you mean? I, I don't need this thing!"

"Hey, keep it." Prince Jin patted him on the shoulder with a warm face, "I wanted to give it to you a long time ago. But it took some time to dry it out, and it was just made a few days ago. Go back and use it well, don't waste it. "

Meng Junhuai's face was flushed, listening to the earnest "persuasion" of his elder brother, he couldn't say a word.

Then he goes crazy.

Along the way, he was thinking, what does the elder brother mean?Sending a deer whip in a good way... Is the eldest brother suspecting that he "can't do it"?

Not so!There are three children in his house, and You Shi is still pregnant with one, what's wrong with him? !
He wondered, did the eldest brother know that he and Yuyin hadn't consummated their marriage yet, and then he missed it?

But it won't either.He didn't say this himself, and the concubine mother wouldn't tell the elder brother either.It is even more impossible for Yuyin, she and Prince Jin's mansion didn't move around... Even if they did, the little nun is ascetic, so she can't complain to her sister-in-law that she hasn't consummated the house yet, right? !

Meng Junhuai was full of evil fire - who would be happy if someone gave such a good-looking man for no reason?If it wasn't for his elder brother, he would have beaten someone!

He doesn't even know where to put this thing!If you let the servants put it in the warehouse, you have to record it. At least the one who records it will know what is in it. It's too awkward; put it in your own room?That's even more awkward to see...

Meng Junhuai held his breath, and walked in sullenly after entering the gate of the mansion.He didn't stop when he saw anyone, and the box was carried on his back, so that no one could pick it up or touch it.

In the main courtyard, Yuyin heard that he was back, so she wanted to ask about Princess Shumin.As soon as I reached the gate of the courtyard, I saw him come in.

"Your Highness." She blessed her, seeing his livid face, and asked cautiously, "The princess's matter... is not going well?"

"No, it's quite smooth, big brother will write the paperwork and hand it up." Meng Junhuai replied with a dull head, thought again, and stretched out his hand to drag her into the room.

He tried his best to look serious: "Can you collect something for me, can you?"

"...Ah?" Yu Yin was startled, feeling strange, "Why did you ask me to keep it?"

He said: "It's an important thing, I don't worry about handing it over to the servants. You can keep it for me, and you can put it anywhere, but don't let them put it in the warehouse, and don't let others handle it."

"Oh..." Xie Yuyin nodded, "Okay."

Meng Junhuai handed the box behind her back to her, thought for a while, and then seriously told her: "Don't look at what's inside, don't even take a look at it."

"Okay..." Yu Yin replied hesitantly, at first she was a little uneasy, but then she felt relieved that he couldn't give her anything that would hurt others anyway.

Then, a lunch was spent strangely.

Yu Yin sat opposite him, watching his face turn red from time to time, and after three or two times, she asked with concern: "Your Highness is not feeling well?"

Meng Junhuai coughed softly: "It's hot."

...is it this hot already?It's just the beginning of April, and Yuyin feels that it's the most comfortable time, and it's still a bit cold in the morning and evening?

But He Jing next to him was happy, and asked him with bright eyes: "Father, let's go to Qingyuan!"

He Jing has long wanted to go to Qingyuan to play. Compared with the mansion, Qingyuan is much bigger!There are mountains, lakes and boats!

But it was a summer retreat.Concubine He told her that "summer escape" means that she can only go there in summer, so she is not allowed to tell her father that she wants to go to play, otherwise her father will not like her.

But now the father is the first to say that it is hot!
He Jing felt that this could be done, and after she finished speaking, she looked at her father expectantly, and her mind was already spinning to whether Qingyuan should fly the kite or row the boat first!

Meng Junhuai thinks about it, after finishing the affairs of Princess Shumin, she will be free, and it is not impossible to go to Qingyuan a few days earlier.

With a thought in his mind, he looked at Yuyin: "Does the princess want to go?"
