The little lady in the palace

Chapter 47 Love Words
In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here.On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yuyin and Meng Junhuai spent the festive season with Concubine Ding, while the mansion just had a small celebration.

So Concubine He didn't ask to come back, and Yuyin didn't urge her either.She thought, Lan Jing's first birthday was on August [-]st, and she would always come back when the time came, within a few days.

As a result, on August [-], an urgent letter was delivered to Meng Junhuai's desk.At that time, Yuyin was reading idle books beside her, and when she heard that it was the letter from Concubine He, she raised her eyes and glanced at it.It could be vaguely seen from the back that the letter was very long and densely written, so she continued to read her book without thinking about it.

But after a while, Meng Junhuai slapped the letter on the case: "This is the He family!"

Yu Yin was startled, and asked what was wrong.Meng Junhuai was obviously not in the mood to say more, so he handed the letter to her directly.

Yu Yin took it over to read, and after reading three or five lines, she felt that the letter was too long-winded, it was only a few lines long, and she still couldn't see what He wanted to say.

——After two simple greetings in the letter, the first sentence is "I am stupid", which is already inexplicable enough.Next, I spent some pen and ink to reflect on how I have not served the prince well in the past few years, not taught the children properly, and not done enough to help the concubine...

Then he began to thank this and that, such as Xie Wangye for his tolerance, Xie Dingfei's kindness and so on.

Seeing that Yuyin, who reads Buddhist scriptures every day, felt bored, he glanced over a few lines, and then he found the key point from the last two paragraphs.

In short, Lan Jing is sick.Mrs. He said that the fever started on the night of August [-]th, and it went back and forth and never got better. Last night, he almost stayed up all night.

He pleaded that she knew she was clumsy, so she didn't dare to ask the prince to let her go back to the mansion to serve her, but only asked him to save Lan Jing for the sake of father and daughter.

"...?" Xie Yuyin was startled when he read this, and looked at Meng Junhuai with some confusion, "Did the side concubine do something wrong? Your Highness forbids her to come back?"

Meng Junhuai supported his forehead with a look of headache: "I don't have it!"

He was so angry.In this matter, what he and Yu Yin think about is that as a side concubine, He will come back if he wants to come back; if he doesn't want to come back, he can let her be at ease in Qingyuan, and they don't rush.

But where did He think of going? !
What is she thinking about!

"Come here!" Meng Junhuai yelled, "Go to Qingyuan quickly, and bring back the side concubine and the second lady, the sooner the better!"

The child had a fever for three days before reporting back, and she really could bear it!Lan Jing is not yet one year old!
Yuyin could see that he was in a hurry, but after thinking about it, she stopped Yang Enlu: "Wait."

Yang Enlu stopped.

Yu Yin suggested another idea: "I think it's safer to let the doctor go there. Lan Jing is too young, and she has a fever for three days and then comes back after a bumpy journey. I'm afraid..."

I'm afraid it's more dangerous.

Meng Junhuai nodded after thinking about it, and she said again: "I'll go there together, so that the side concubine won't get flustered."

In the end, the two decided to go together.The child is too young, no one dares to guarantee the consequences of such an illness.

Before going out, He Jing also chased after her, and grabbed Meng Junhuai with red eyes: "I'm going to see my sister..."

He nodded, and the three of them got into the carriage together.Along the way, He Jing seemed particularly worried, and wiped away her tears several times silently. She seemed to want to say something to Meng Junhuai several times but didn't say anything. Finally, she couldn't help but quietly asked Yu Yin: "Will my sister die……"

"No." Meng Junhuai opened his eyes and saw her leaning on Yuyin's arms, and reached out to hug her and put her on his lap, "Don't think about it, your sister is just a little sick. It'll be fine in two days."

"Oh!" He Jing nodded emphatically, her brows were still frowning, and she asked again, "Then she is sick, will father dislike her?"

"...He Jing?" Meng Junhuai's expression was a little serious, "Why do you ask like this? Do you hope that the father doesn't like your sister?"

"I don't want it!" He Jing looked at him and said very seriously, "I hope my father likes me, and also likes my younger siblings!"

She said and flattened her mouth: "However, Concubine He always said that my father would not like us. Last time I wanted to drink an extra bowl of sour plum soup, Concubine He said that if I drank too much, I would get sick. If I was sick, my father would not like us." Love it!"

Yu Yin clearly saw the veins on Meng Junhuai's forehead twitch, but He Jing naturally didn't understand.She pulled her father's collar with her little hand, and continued worryingly: "My sister is so young, she can't ask for things by herself, and she definitely didn't want to get sick herself! Father, please don't dislike her, okay?"

Meng Junhuai took a deep breath, and his expression became more gloomy.

"Your Highness..." Yu Yin tugged at his sleeve, but he didn't let her speak as soon as he raised his hand.

Meng Junhuai asked He Jing with a little disbelief: "You have been so worried that your father will not like you, is it because your mother and concubine He always say so?"

"..." He Jing suddenly realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, looked at him, lowered her head and said, "Father is not angry."

Along the way afterwards, Meng Junhuai's expression was so gloomy that even Yu Yin was afraid.

Only then did she realize that he didn't know where He Jing heard those words from.She had heard He Jing say it many times before, but she just put her identity here, and some things that sounded too much like telling stories, so she didn't tell him, and she once blamed him for why he let Concubine He be in such a situation. Raising He Jing.

But if he doesn't know at all...

Yu Yin suddenly felt guilty, she looked at He Jing who was lying on Meng Junhuai's chest and fell asleep, and said softly: "Blame me, He Jing told me, but I thought Your Highness..."

"I don't blame you." Meng Junhuai looked at the roof of the car, "It's my fault."

For so long, he has always known that He Jing was afraid that he would not like her, but he never thought about who made her think this way!

He took it for granted that it was Guo's incident that stimulated her too much, and he took it for granted that it was because she had lost her mother before, so she would be afraid of losing her father again...

Why didn't he think about He Shi?For a little girl like He Jing, he was consciously trying to untie her many times, but it didn't work. He should have thought that someone around her was messing with him!

Meng Junhuai took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, wishing he could jump off right now and be run over by the carriage!
Yu Yin looked at his expression, and carefully suggested: "I think...His Royal Highness needs to tell Concubine He that she can't scare He Jing like this all the time, and He Jing is still young."

"No need." Meng Junhuai said flatly, "I'll take He Jing with someone else. I don't know the other people in the back house, so help me figure out who is suitable."

Yu Yin: "..."

Her heart is broken, and I don't know her well.

Half an hour later, Qingyuan was gloomy.

The group went straight to Concubine He's residence when they arrived in Qingyuan. The prince had a sullen face, and the concubine didn't smile at all. The doctors who came to treat Lan Jing were so frightened that they couldn't help breathing carefully.

Lan Jing had no energy to cry after having a fever for three consecutive days, and fell asleep in a daze, humming twice when she felt uncomfortable.Yu Yin looked sad, and even Meng Junhuai, a big man, had red eyes for a while.

He Jing wiped away tears on the edge of the cradle: "Lan Jing, I'm my sister, are you feeling bad? Can you get well!"

Concubine He knelt aside and didn't dare to say a word, and kept wiping away her tears.

After a long while, the doctor administered the needle and prescribed the medicine again, and said frightenedly, "This...Second Miss is too young to use much medicine. I need to wait and see every time I take the medicine. If there is something wrong That's right, Fang Zi has to change it quickly."

"Okay." Meng Junhuai nodded, "Can she go out? Or can she not be exposed to the wind at all?"

"It's still possible to go out, it's good to get some air, just don't take too long, and don't freeze anymore." The doctor said.

Meng Junhuai nodded again, and beckoned to Yang Enlu: "Move the second young lady to my place, and the nanny will follow. I will take her with me until I find a suitable person to take care of her."

"Your Highness..." Concubine He looked up in astonishment, her face pale as paper, "Your Highness, you can't...you can't take Lan Jing away! Lan Jing is only one year old!"

"You also know that Lan Jing is only one year old!" Meng Junhuai finally let out the anger that he had suppressed all the way, and said angrily, "I fell ill on August [-]th, and you only sent a letter back to the house today! The princess sends someone to Qingyuan every two days to ask Nothing happened, and I didn't hear you mention it!"

"I..." He's throat choked, and tears welled up, "Your Highness, forgive me! I'm really afraid of being a concubine...I'm afraid His Highness doesn't like being a concubine at first. I heard that Lan Jing is sick here. would be even more annoyed, so..."

"You're enough!" Meng Junhuai didn't even bother to fire at her when he heard this, but felt that her thoughts were so absurd and unreasonable.

He glanced at Yang Enlu and said, "Send Lan Jing to my place." Then he left the door without further delay.

"Your Highness..." He suddenly lost all strength, shed tears for a while in a daze, looked at Yuyin with confusion, "Princess..."

Yu Yin took a deep breath: "I don't know what to say."

She frowned, and looked down at He Shi who was still kneeling on the ground: "I have never given birth to a child, so I don't know how to be a mother better than you. But you..." No matter how she thought about it, she felt ridiculous, "Why don't you Can Lan Jing stay up for three days before reporting to the mansion? No matter how worried His Highness is, you shouldn't bet on Lan Jing's life!"

She really doesn't understand this side concubine He!
If it is said that the He family does not love Lan Jing, then it must not be true. She is such a daughter, how could she not love her?But how could she want to "cover up" her daughter's illness because of her awe of Meng Junhuai? !
Yu Yin felt that it was too unbelievable.It was her aunt who was not related to any of the children. If she knew that a child was sick beside her, the first thing she would think of would be to tell Meng Junhuai quickly, so that he could find good medicine and ask the imperial physician? !

"I really don't know what to say about you!" She sighed, ignored Mr. He, and went out with a livid face.

That night, the people Meng Junhuai had invited from the palace also arrived.He originally asked Concubine Ding to point out an imperial physician, but it was estimated that Concubine Ding couldn't let go of her mind because the child was too young, so she went to ask the Queen, and the Queen ordered an imperial doctor to come.

After seeing it, the imperial doctor adjusted the prescription for Lan Jing, and told Meng Junhuai that there should be nothing serious about it. He is young, but the current situation should be curable.

Meng Junhuai's face looked better now, and Yu Yin, who was sitting on the couch coaxing her to sleep with Jing, breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness, let's eat something."

The bowl of porridge and several other dishes on the couch table have been reheated three times.

Meng Junhuai looked back, only to realize that he hadn't eaten for most of the day.He tucked Lan Jing in the quilt again, and then sat down on the side of the couch, Yu Yin hurriedly moved He Jing in.

"It's okay, let her sleep well." Meng Junhuai touched He Jing's little hand, and said, "You should also rest early. Just sleep here, I'll just sleep over there."

As he spoke, he pointed to the Luohan bed a few steps away.Yu Yin was already too tired to yawn, so she didn't want to be more polite to him, she just asked: "What do you plan to do with these two children? Should I find someone to take them with me, or should I separate them?"

"Let's separate. Except for He Shiyou, no one in the back house has ever brought up a child. I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it together." He ate a mouthful of porridge, "Who do you think is suitable?"

"Hmm..." Yu Yin thought about it and said, "I'm not familiar with those in the north, but there is a Mrs. Su who has been helping Concubine He manage the accounts in the mansion. I have also read the account books, and there is nothing wrong with them." , but a careful one."

She paused as she spoke, and saw that he was sullenly eating and did not object, so she continued: "I think she can take Lan Jing with her first. Lan Jing is still young, and she is mostly taken care of by a nanny. That's enough, anyway, it's not time to teach her anything now."

"Well, yes." Meng Junhuai took a mouthful of vegetables and ate without raising his eyes, only to find that it was mustard puff when he entered the mouth, and cried!

"..." Yu Yin handed him the handkerchief with a suppressed smile, and he covered his mouth and nose slowly, trying to be serious, "What about He Jing?"

"Hejing..." She smiled and looked at the little girl who was lying on her lap sleeping sprawled, and looked at him hesitantly, "Hejing...give it to me?"

"..." Meng Junhuai's throat choked, as if he had been choked on mustard again, "Cough..."

Yu Yin stared at him in a daze, covering her mouth and letting out a sigh of relief.

After recovering, he looked at her with a look of complete disbelief: "You want to bring He Jing?"

"...isn't it good?" Yuyin didn't quite understand his reaction, "He Jing likes me very much."

"I know that." Meng Junhuai paused, looked at her and He Jing in embarrassment, and stubbornly felt that this was inappropriate.

In fact, he didn't have this kind of thought at the beginning. When she first passed the door, he simply hoped that she could get along well with the children and be a proper mother.

But later, for some reason, he felt that this kind of thinking could not help her.

"How should I put it..." Meng Junhuai frowned, Yu Yin looked at him earnestly and said: "Your Highness, just tell me, it doesn't matter if I don't know how to take care of you, I'll think about it again."

"That's not true." He looked at her with his forehead propped up, and after looking at her for a long time, a few wisps of smirk appeared in his seriousness, "Such a good girl, gentle, kind, smart, and beautiful. When I marry, I will be the step-wife, and I have to be the child's wife." Stepmother... I have wronged you."

"..." Xie Yuyin looked at him dumbfounded.

After that, for almost the whole night, her mind was filled with the image of him sitting cross-legged in front of the desk in a light blue straight suit, with one hand resting on the side of his head, looking at her with a deep smile.
