The little lady in the palace

Chapter 37
Therefore, on the second day, everyone in the mansion heard that the prince, concubine, and side concubine He took the eldest and second misses to Qingyuan to escape the summer heat.No one from the top to the bottom knew exactly what happened at the time - I heard that the prince was in a bad mood yesterday, so it seems that he is not in the mood to escape the summer heat?
But anyway they went.As they left, the mansion seemed to be more than half cold all of a sudden.

In the main courtyard, Wang Dongxu worked hard for this mission.

Every morning when he got up, he first looked inside and out to see if the concubine's three-acre land had been tidied up, and then he ran to the dining room.

He was not in charge of serving meals in the main courtyard, but now, he has to run to the dining room three times a day.Every time I go back, I ask: "Is the breakfast in the north ready?" "Is the lunch in the north ready?" "Is the dinner in the north ready?"

After two days, the eunuch who stayed in the mansion's dining room was afraid of him, and bowed to him with a bitter face: "Master Dong, will you spare me? I know it was ordered by the princess, so I dare not neglect them." .You run three times a day, I feel so panicked! Please save your effort, please be willing to save your effort, I respect you as your lord!"

"Fuck you!" Wang Dongxu kicked and cursed with a smile.

The eunuchs who are better off in the mansion can be respectfully called "Master" by the people below.This is called Fado because the surname is put on the front. For example, Yang Enlu is called "Yang Ye" and Zhao Chengrui is called "Zhao Ye".

But when it comes to Wang Dongxu's place, it won't work. Who gave him the surname Wang?There can only be one prince in the mansion!
Wang Dongxu laughed at this man's gag, and the two exchanged a few more pleasantries before he left the dining room and went to the ice cellar.

The cooling ice should be prepared according to the routine, which was specially ordered by the princess. Wang Dongxu is not afraid of the cold, so he drills into the ice cellar to see it every day.

Nothing happened in the first two days, but today he went in to take a look and frowned: "What's going on? The north is here to fetch ice early today?"

The ice used to cool down the house is made of large ice blocks that are six feet long and wide.According to different identities in the mansion, the ice that each person can use is different.

The prince and concubine can use it freely, and the two side concubines can each take four pieces a day.As for those in the north, except for Liangdi Jiang, the highest-ranking family, who got two pieces, the rest got one piece.In this way, it must not be enough to use from morning to night, so they usually take out the ice when it is the hottest at noon, and wait for an hour or two to melt it, and the hottest time will pass.

Before taking it away, the prepared ice should be presented one by one on a large porcelain plate in the ice cellar, and each person's surname is hung on the jar.

But now when they arrived at Sishi, those large porcelain plates were already empty.

Wang Dongxu asked again, and the little eunuch on duty didn't say a word, so he was even more convinced that something was wrong: "What? Who is going to be sick?"

"This...is the East Courtyard." The little eunuch didn't dare to lift his head, and told him in one breath, "Don't be angry, Mr. You. Concubine You came early in the morning to ask for ice, saying that the young master is afraid of the heat, so I have to wait Put a few more pieces of ice in the house—you tell me, can we say no to it?"

Wang Dongxu snorted coldly.

In fact, it is reasonable to say that the East Court can't give it if it wants it, and it is the fault of Bingjiao's side if it is given.But he thought about it, firstly, it was really not easy to carry out the young master over there, and secondly, it would be good to have a good relationship, so he didn't say anything, just confessed: "Wangfei and Concubine He are not here, so don't guard them." Xu Li is holding the ice. The north will come to pick it up later, so you can give it as you like."

"Hey, yes!" The little eunuch felt relieved, just now he was thinking about doing this, but he was a little weak.

"I'll go to the east courtyard to have a look." Wang Dongxu didn't stay any longer after saying that, he left the ice cellar and ran to the east courtyard.

In the east courtyard, everyone from top to bottom was in a state of desperation.

There were seven or eight large lumps of ice placed all over the house, and the white cool air radiated coldly, but it was already a bit cold.

But the little boy was crying and shouting hot, his eyes and nose were red from crying, and the four nurses couldn't coax him together. Finally, You Shi, who was bored in the room for confinement, came over in person.

You Shi was nearly seven months pregnant, so she entered the room with her hands on her waist.Ah Li was still crying, but when he saw his mother coming, he held back and stretched out a pair of small hands: "Hug..."

It was inconvenient for Youshi to hug him, so he had to sit down on the side of the couch and hug him, and asked him warmly: "What's wrong with Li, you still feel hot? Mother feels cold."

"Hot..." Little Ah Li lowered his head and wiped away his tears, then said again, sobbing, "I'm hot."

You Shi frowned slightly, and sighed.

She actually guessed what Ah Li was making a fuss about. He wasn't afraid of the heat, but felt that his father and sister had left him behind.He always played with He Jing. When the prince said that he was going to Qingyuan to escape the summer heat, He Jing told him, and the two children looked forward to it for many days together.

But You Shi also felt that the prince didn't intend to take her there almost from the very beginning - maybe he was still angry with her, or he just wanted her to have a good pregnancy, in short, no one came at all Message from the East Court.

She really couldn't bear to beg the princess to take Ah Li with her, so she coaxed Ah Li for several days.She told him that you are a boy, you have to be strong, and you can't be so afraid of heat like your sister.Ah Li is also sensible, although every time he hears her say this, his eyes are red with grievances, but he still nods and says "I know" every time.

But now that they left like this, he still couldn't bear it.

Youshi felt distressed and wronged, and was hugging his son in his arms, when Shanzhi came in and gave a blessing: "Lady, Wang Dongxu from the main courtyard is here."

"Let him come in." Youshi responded in a flustered manner, and soon Wang Dongxu came in to meet the ceremony: "The side concubine is safe. I heard that the young master thinks it's hot, so you brought more ice from the east courtyard... "

"The three of us, mother and child, will stay here. Wouldn't it be better to use a few more pieces of ice?" Youshi was still angry after all.

Wang Dongxu quickly explained with a compensatory smile: "You calm down, calm down, this is not what I mean. I want to ask, how much ice is enough for your side every day? You give me the number, and I will send someone to report to the princess. Bian nodded, the mansion will send it to you every day, don't let the young master feel wronged."

Youshi's face softened a little, he patted Ah Li and said "hmm", and asked him: "When did the prince say he will be back?"

"This..." Wang Dongxu got stuck, thought for a while and said, "I didn't give you an accurate answer. But isn't this a summer escape? You have to wait for the weather to cool down, right?"

You Shi felt that he was bored and panicked.In fact, it’s not really hot right now, and the summer in the capital is long, so when the weather cools down, it will take three or four months.

She looked at Ah Li who was tired from crying in her arms, took a deep breath, and then looked at Wang Dongxu: "Elder-in-law take a step to talk."

In Qingyuan, Meng Junhuai rested in peace for two days.

It is true to say that everyone likes to have fun, but in his opinion, it is really not the time to go out for leisure.But Yuyin's words were also right, he was so angry that he really couldn't think clearly, so he listened to her words.

So for the past two days, he has been forcing himself not to get down to business, let alone let people go to the various mansions to inquire about how the Fourth Sister is doing now.Every day, I read books by myself, take He Jing to row a boat, let out the wind, and learn to speak with Lan Jing.

Then go to "meditation" in the evening-this is actually his favorite moment.

Yuyin said that what she is best at is giving people peace of mind!He was just curious about what "unique skills" she had, but he understood it the first night in Qingyuan.

That little nun!After he finished washing and went to lie down on the couch!Sit cross-legged next to him!Chant to him!

Hahahaha this is so funny, all the wives and concubines in the mansion recite poems and compose against him, play chess and draw pictures, but I have never seen one who recites sutras!

He especially wanted to laugh at her, but thinking that she was serious and well-meaning in wanting to help him, he was neither embarrassed to laugh nor refused.He could only hold back his laughter and listen to her reading in silence. He didn't know if he was quiet or not, but he slept peacefully anyway...

On the first day, he fell asleep just listening to her voice.After listening to such a sentence, it is very clear that her voice is very pleasant.It's clear and light, as if it doesn't have any emotions, but it makes people feel very comfortable.The scriptures read fell on the ears, as if people could see the white wolf hairs like a whisk dipped in black ink, writing the scriptures on people's hearts stroke by stroke.

The next day he looked at her for a while longer before falling into a drowsy sleep. He dimly felt her passing over him to put the book, and when she came back, he grabbed her and wrapped her in the quilt!
——Then he found that she seemed to be used to being hugged by him to sleep like this!No more struggling!
Today is the third day, and his "bad heart" intends to do something else instead.

In the Mingxin Pavilion under the night, Yuyin is patiently feeding Hejing with an ice bowl.

Qingyuan is bigger than the palace, and she and Concubine He lived much farther away than when they were in the mansion.Then she found that He Jing loved to come to her place and hang out with her, often staying for half a day without causing trouble to her, but never leaving.

Although she liked He Jing very much, she also felt that this was inappropriate.After all, He Jing was brought up by Concubine He, so it was somewhat inappropriate for her to keep him.

She said to He Jing: "You are always here, your mother concubine He will be worried. Is this good, you go back to mother concubine He obediently and stay by her side, if you want to play with Ningzhi, mother concubine will give you Ningzhi. "

But He Jing said no with a small mouth, then looked at her and said to her: "Concubine Mu, I will tell you something, you are not allowed to tell others!"

Yuyin just said yes, I won't tell others, you can tell.

He Jing stretched out her little finger: "Pull the hook!"

Yu Yin: "..."

She secretly sighed in her heart that this little girl is getting more and more refined, and at the same time she hooked up with He Jing solemnly.As soon as He Jing finished pulling the hook and let go, he told her a "shocking news": "Mother Concubine, let me tell you, I've been with Mother Concubine He for a long time, Father and King will not like me!"

"...?" Yu Yin was at a loss, recalling the previous entanglements, and hurriedly asked her what was going on.

He Jing said that she couldn't do anything with Concubine He.Wanting to play for a while, Concubine He said, "If this is the case, my father will like you"; if I wanted to eat more snacks, Concubine He also said "My father will not like you".

She stubbornly didn't believe it at first, but later when Concubine He always said that, she felt that Concubine He was right.Moreover, Mother Concubine He always refused to let her see her father and always "hidden" her carefully, so she felt that her father might really start to dislike her and start to be afraid.

But later, she was surprised to find that every time she had meals with her father in the main courtyard, her father still liked her very much!She also always plays with this new concubine, and if she occasionally wants to eat more snacks or play for a while, that's fine too!
He Jing began to wonder whether her father still likes her, but her father would hate her for no reason when she stayed with Concubine He, so her father especially hates her?
——She felt similar to the fairy and that monster in the story. Maybe there was something strange about Concubine He's mother, which caused her to provoke something after she did something, and then made her father feel disgusted!But it doesn't matter if she is not with Concubine He!
After He Jing finished talking seriously, Yu Yin's reaction was: "..."

She wanted to laugh, thinking that children's weird ideas were so cute, and felt that Xiaohe Jing was so pitiful!

——After the past few months, she saw that He Jing was worried that her father would not like her because of various things.

Yu Yin didn't know what to say for a moment, she smiled, and continued to feed He Jing the ice bowl.After two more mouthfuls, He Jing suddenly jumped off the chair with bright eyes: "Father!"

"..." Meng Junhuai hurriedly carried the book behind his back with one hand, and embraced her with the other.

He smiled awkwardly: "He Jing...is she still there?"

"She and Ningzhi kicked the shuttlecock for fun, and I didn't pay attention to the time." After Yu Yin finished speaking, Meng Junhuai patted He Jing's forehead, "Go back and rest, the father, mother and concubine are going to sleep too."

"Oh!" He Jing nodded, and greeted the two of them decently, "I'm going back!"

"Well, let's play again tomorrow." Yu Yin beckoned, watched the nurse take her away, then got up to get the scriptures on the shelf.

Today she planned to read the "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra" to him, it was just over 5000 words long, and the length was just right for him to listen to it while sleeping.Moreover, it is also a Buddhist classic, suitable for self-cultivation.

When she took off the scripture book and turned around to look, she saw that Meng Junhuai was also holding a book in his hand.

He said to her, "Don't read the scriptures today, let me tell you a story."

tell a story?
After Xie Yuyin took a shower, she laid down on the bed with him defenselessly.

The next day, half a minute after the prince left, the princess kicked out all the servants.

He, he, he...

Yuyin shrank back to the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt, feeling bored, feeling that her cheeks were so hot that she could spread eggs.

He told her the first episode of the story yesterday, and left her the book to read for herself.As a result, she read halfway through the second chapter and was surprised... what kind of story is this!Hate!He just deliberately bullied her!
Yuyin uncovered a seam of the quilt, saw the book next to it, picked it up and threw it away.

Do not read do not read!Don't read anything!
Yu Yin went back into the quilt with a bitter face, scolding him in her heart.Really, the first time he told her was normal. It said that a general in the heaven was seriously injured in the battle, fell into the world, and was rescued by a kind nun.When the general was still recuperating in the nunnery, a flower picker sneaked into the nunnery's house intending to do something wrong, the general turned the flower picker into a stone with a magical power.

The nun was terrified, so she quickly thanked her after recovering. The general said that the kindness of saving life should be repaid, and he was willing to protect the nun for the rest of her life and help her become a Buddha.

——How touching is this?One is kind-hearted, the other is affectionate and righteous, why...how come the second time, it suddenly changed?

In the second chapter, I first wrote that the nun and the general fell in love for a long time, and then returned to the vulgarity.Afterwards, a single stroke brought the two of them into marriage, and suddenly they wrote about the "bed" on the wedding night in the bridal chamber!
It is also very detailed, so detailed that she, who was taught a few words by the female officer in the palace before she got married, can imagine a specific picture just by looking at the words!
That picture is really... lively, colorful, raw, and fragrant!

And... what's more, there are pictures in the book!

Yu Yin felt ashamed and angry when she recalled the picture on the page she turned to unpreparedly.The pictures were exquisite, showing her vividly half-covered bed curtains, messy quilts, and two half-clothed, overlapping bodies.

Yu Yin tried her best not to think too much, but this picture still lingered in her mind.Then she forced herself not to think about their bodies, but only about their faces!
Then she discovered... the woman in the painting seemed, seemed very...happy?
Or excited?excited?But it's not pain anyway.The face was clearly depicted flushed red, the mouth was slightly open, and the raised corners of the mouth were obviously smiling.

Is this kind of thing comfortable?
This sentence flashed across Yu Yin's mind, and she immediately wanted to start, not allowing herself to think about such shameless things.

But she couldn't help but lifted the quilt again, and her eyes fell on the book she had thrown away.

The book was spread there, and on the opened page was another page of pictures.It seems that it is not the page she just saw, the color is different.

She couldn't help being a little curious about what was painted on this page.

Just one look, just one look!
Yu Yin secretly made up her mind, got off the couch without breathing, and walked towards the book.She walked on tiptoe, not daring to make a sound, as if she was doing something bad secretly.

She had just picked up the book when she heard the door was slammed!
Yu Yin almost subconsciously carried the book behind her back, feeling her cheeks warm up again with the flick of her fingers, and said dryly, "What's the matter! Tell me!"

"Miss...?" Corrupted by her tone, Coral fell in, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Wang Dongxu is here, and he said that the young master has been crying and fussing for the past few days, only yelling for heat. The side concubine He said he missed His Highness, and wanted to ask you, can you let the young master come over to escape the summer heat?"

Yu Yin's heartstrings tensed: "She is seven months pregnant..."

"Yes, the servant girl said the same thing. But Wang Dongxu said that Concubine You didn't even mention that she would come too. She just said that if you agree, I will send the young master over." The voice outside paused, and then, Then she told her with some doubts, "The side concubine also said that she dare not cause trouble for you. She will let all the nurses follow. If there is anything wrong with the young master, it is only the nurse's fault."
