The little lady in the palace

Chapter 54: Chanting Sutras
The result of Yuyin's drunkenness at the Dragon Boat Festival was so impressive that Meng Junhuai would think about it when she mentions drinking now...

Even herself.

So after saying this, she was too ashamed to speak again.

Meng Junhuai looked at her, saw her silently poured a small cup and drank it, so he also drank a cup, tasted it, it was indeed not strong.

Then he cleared his throat and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself in this way."

"I didn't..." Yu Yin shook her head in denial.In fact, she did feel "uneasy", but she had to admit that she didn't hate that kind of thing...

I just feel ashamed and ashamed of the Buddha!

She drank another cup, and the cheeks that had just faded from her shame were stained with a light red again by drunkenness.

"Then let's go back early and rest." Meng Junhuai said.As he said that, he got up, took off the cloak hanging on the hexagonal wooden frame and put it on her, and then he helped her up again, Yu Yin laughed: "Not so drunk, this wine is really not strong!"

In the other hall a few feet away, the three of them were stunned when they saw the prince and princess leaving the table suddenly, You Shi was especially puzzled: "What time is this, why..."

What year did the Shangyuan family banquet end so early? This year, I took the trouble to make so many lights, so why did it go away so early?

He said: "Then let's go back earlier. Your Highness and the princess are back, so we can't have fun by ourselves."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Chengrui who was beside the princess entered the hall.

Zhao Chengrui bowed: "The two side concubines, An and Su Liangdi, your highness and the princess want to go back to rest first, and order the slaves to pass on a message, so that you can enjoy yourself. If there is anything that needs to be added, you can tell the slaves to come." yes."

Several people looked at each other and settled down.I usually have nothing to do when I'm bored in the mansion, but today's festival is quite interesting.Since the prince has opened his mouth, they can play for a while longer, and they will be idle when they go back to the room.

In the garden outside the hall, He Jing had just happened to see a marquee lantern on a tree and asked the eunuch to pick it off for her, and then Amber came.

Hu Po squatted down and hugged her, and said with a smile: "Miss, I have something to discuss with you."

He Jing looked at her with the light on: "You tell me."

Hu Po said: "Today, Your Highness and Princess want to rest early. You will disturb them if you rest after playing for a while. Your Highness said that you can stay in the East Court or the West Court for one night. You can choose either. ?”

He Jing naturally didn't think that they were afraid that she would "hear" something, so she thought about it carefully and said, "Then I'll go to the east courtyard and sleep with my brother!"

"Huh?" Ah Li, who was next to him, became energetic when he heard it, and ran over to hold his sister's hand, "Okay! I will protect my sister!"

Then He Jing pulled Ningzhi again, Lan Jing took a look, and babbled, "I want to..." Her nanny had to spend some time persuading her to go back to Su Liangdi obediently.

Everyone in the garden is happy.

In the bedroom in the main courtyard, after Yu Yin took a bath and changed her clothes, she lay on the couch and looked at the top of the curtain, blushing for a while.

Meng Junhuai didn't go until after she took a bath, and he hasn't come back yet.She waited alone, this period of time was really difficult...

Because her mind is full of things about sex.

Nanny Rui, whom Concubine Ding called her, knew this all too well.After entering the mansion for six or seven days, it was obvious that although she and Meng Junhuai often slept together, they seldom really "sexed".

So two or three days ago, Nanny Rui found an opportunity to push back others and had a "long conversation" with her.

Yuyin told her the truth, telling her that she felt ashamed and flustered, and didn't know what to do.

Nanny Rui told her bluntly: "Princess, if you feel that this kind of thing makes you uncomfortable, this servant doesn't know what to do; but if you just feel ashamed and flustered, you can only try it slowly. You get used to it naturally. You avoid this matter completely, and you only rely on yourself to think about it day by day, and it is not easy to think about Kan. "

Yu Yin thought about it and felt that this made sense.She felt awkward and true, but it wasn't so awkward that she couldn't accept it at all.

Nanny Rui added: "Actually, there are ordinary girls who can't save face in this kind of thing. Princess, you just feel more embarrassed than them because you have practiced Buddhism. But think about it, how could the Buddha blame you for this kind of thing?" This is just human nature. If this kind of thing is eliminated, everyone will have no children. After a few decades, I am afraid that there will be no people in the world. To say something disrespectful, the Buddha is also a human being. Now the Buddha is still enshrined by human incense, and it is definitely not a good thing for the Buddha if there are no people."

This is so disrespectful.Yuyin didn't dare to answer at the time, and she didn't dare to think about it afterwards, but she thought it was right in her own heart.

Lying on the couch, Yu Yin couldn't help going through Nanny Rui's persuasion in her mind again, when she suddenly heard footsteps not far away.

She was so startled that she didn't even notice when he came in!

Meng Junhuai felt thirsty after taking a bath, so he poured himself a glass of water when he entered the room.Hearing the movement on the couch, he raised his eyes and saw her covering himself under the quilt through the translucent gauze.

He smiled, put down the porcelain cup and walked over, opened the gauze curtain and lay on his side to look at the figure trapped in front of him, said: "You took the initiative to mention today."

Yu Yin, who was covered in the quilt, was bored for a while, and she mustered up the courage to nod her head: "Yeah."

He got up and put down the thicker curtain inside, stretched out his hand to uncover her quilt and stared at her for a while, then kissed her on the forehead.

From this moment on, Yuyin kept repeating four words to herself in her mind: Human's normal lover, human's normal lover, human's normal love!

So she didn't even notice when his middle dress was untied by him, and when she regained her senses, it was his hand that directly touched her body.

He stroked her gently, but it made her whole body go numb.

She involuntarily looked sideways and saw the clothes thrown aside, her mind suddenly became confused again.

Meng Junhuai felt her body twitch as if she wanted to hide, so he moved back and kissed her on the lips, wrapping her whole body in his arms.

"Teacher is too hard." He said suddenly, his voice was so hoarse that she could hardly recognize it.

He finally let her go, lay down next to her, stretched out his hand to explore, and pulled the quilt to cover her.

Exhausted, she subconsciously wanted to push the quilt away, but she couldn't do it: "Hot..."

He said vaguely: "Be careful of catching a cold."

Then cover it up...

She didn't bother to move anymore.It seems that he didn't even think about this sentence, and fell asleep exhausted.

The next day, He Jing slept a little longer than usual, and left after breakfast in the east courtyard, but when he returned to the main courtyard, he heard that the concubine mother hadn't woken up yet?
Yuyin lay on the bed and felt that she was going to die, her back, legs and shoulders were uncomfortable everywhere, it was awkward to lie down, and it was also awkward to lie on her stomach.Getting up has become something completely impossible, so Meng Junhuai stayed "understanding", and by the way, sent someone to the east and west courtyards early to deliver a message, telling the two side concubines not to come to say hello.

When He Jing entered the room, he saw his father sitting on the side of the couch feeding his mother and concubine.

"Come and open your mouth..." He scooped up a spoonful of preserved egg porridge and fed it to her mouth. After Yuyin ate it on her stomach, she reached out and said, "I will do it myself."

"Take a rest." He avoided her hand and scooped up another spoonful, "I will take care of you today."

Yuyin had no choice but to grab a red bean paste bun from the plate on the small table next to her and eat it herself.

He "reported" to her about the arrangement: "At noon, let the dining room add yam and black chicken soup to restore your strength, and someone will come over to give you a massage later, so as not to..."

Before saying "so you won't get pregnant", a sentence suddenly came from behind: "Is the concubine sick?!"

The two looked at the same time, and He Jing ran to the side of the couch with a worried expression on her face: "What's wrong with the concubine mother? Has the doctor been here? Shall I ask grandma to send the imperial doctor?"

"..." Yu Yin was a little embarrassed, and raised her hand to touch her head, "It's okay, Concubine Mu just... didn't sleep well last night, just take a rest, don't worry."

"Then I'll take care of my concubine too!" He Jing said bluntly.Then she looked at the table, picked out a patty and brought it to her face.Tear off a piece, dip it in vinegar, feed it to the concubine mother, and then wait for the concubine to eat porridge from the father, she will tear another piece, dip it in vinegar, and feed it to the concubine mother, and then concubine mother will eat from the prince Porridge.

After a whole breakfast, Yuyin felt that she was taken care of by the father and daughter like a disabled person with broken muscles and bones.

After the meal, she braced herself: "I'll go for a walk."

Meng Junhuai & He Jing: "I'll help you!"

Yu Yin collapsed back at once: "It's okay, I'll lie down."

In the east courtyard, Ah Li couldn't hold back after leaving with Jing, and burst into tears, and then wept for a while.

The reason is that his sister was still sleeping today, so he was called up by the nanny to study.Then when he was resting, his sister got up and had breakfast, and he only found out after asking that my sister didn't need to study during the Chinese New Year, she only needed to practice calligraphy for an hour in the afternoon.

But except for going to the palace to attend the banquet on New Year's Eve, he didn't rest a day, not a day.

Ah Li thought, why?It was agreed that he would study with his sister, so naturally his sister should rest, and he should too.Now why my sister can sleep in and play happily every day, but he has to get up before dawn to study his homework?
His sister is older than him.

A Li sat with his head drooping and didn't say a word or read a book. You Shi scolded him for a while with a straight face, then squatted down beside him with a sigh: "A Li, it's not that the concubine doesn't love you. There are some things you might not say right now." Understand, you will gradually understand in the future... But if you read when you understand, it may be too late."

A Li looked at her sobbing, and Youshi said again: "Your elder sister didn't start studying seriously until she was six years old. When you were three years old, your mother and concubine urged your father and king to invite your husband to come in. Have you ever thought about why?"

Ali shook his head.

Youshi said, "Because you are the eldest son in the mansion, you want to make progress."

"Then sister is still the eldest daughter..." Ah Li was very dissatisfied with this reason, wiped away tears again, and said, "Sister is the eldest daughter, and she is so much older than me, why doesn't she need to make progress!"

"Because boys and girls are different." You Shi patiently reasoned with him, "Girls have nothing to contend with, they just marry, start a family, care for their husbands and raise their children. Your father's love for you is also different. ——You can’t ask your father about this, but you can slowly understand it yourself.”

"What's the difference?" Ah Li was still unconvinced, and muttered, "Father is good to me, my sister, and my younger siblings, it's obviously the same!"

"No, it's not the same." Youshi patted his son's head lovingly, and said earnestly, "You are the one who can be the eldest son, bear your father's title, and take over this palace. Your father loves you very much. She is more important. But your elder sister... she is six years old now, and she will get married in eleven or twelve years at most, so she has nothing to do with the palace. Your father treats her well now, because he doesn't want her to hold grudges against the family ;It is to hope that when she gets married in the future, she can keep her thoughts on the family and let her husband's family help you together."

You Shi said, feeling a little sad in his heart.She didn't understand these things at first, until when she was twelve or thirteen years old, she heard her parents talking.

They just want her to help her younger brother after she marries into a good family—not only her father thinks so, but even her mother thinks so.

"So, you must be competitive. If you want to compare yourself with others, compare yourself with older cousins, not with younger ones or your sisters." Youshi stood up as he said. , picked up the brush that he had just dropped on the desk, dipped it in ink and handed it to him, "Study hard, your own future, your mother and concubine, and your younger brother will all depend on you in the future."

Ah Li choked up twice more, and reached out to hold the pen.

He suddenly realized that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and at the same time felt... It sounds so tiring.

In the main courtyard, He Jing has been having a bit of fun these days. Even if he just practiced calligraphy for an hour every afternoon, he couldn't sit still anymore.

She put her chin on her mournful face and didn't want to continue writing. Meng Junhuai reached out and pulled a hairpin from her bun and knocked on her head again: "In four days, sir will be back. What will you do then?"

"Woo..." He Jing was aggrieved, she felt that the year was over before she had a good time.Why can't this year be longer?For example, why not celebrate the Lantern Festival on the [-]th day of the first lunar month?That way the sir can come back later.

Yu Yin, who had been lying on the couch for most of the day, barely got out of the couch a while ago, she went out for a walk with difficulty, and when she came back, she saw He Jing's face was like a little bitter melon, and it was very difficult for Meng Junhuai to coax her beside her.

Yu Yin snorted, found a small bronze mirror and held it in front of He Jing: "Look at you, if you get angry, you will become ugly."

He Jing rolled her eyes to see, still very unhappy.

"Hey, don't be so bitter and bitter, how interesting is it to practice calligraphy?" Yu Yinyun coaxed her with a smile, beckoning Ning Zhi to come over.

Then he took a few small sachets and put them between the two of them. They were colorful and different from each other.

"Come on, the two of you write together. It's not about speed, it's about who can write better. If you write well, you will get a sachet. If you win in the end, you will get a plate of Misan Dao for supper at night!"

Both Hejing and Ningzhi's eyes lit up, and Meng Junhuai also thought it was quite interesting. After thinking about it, he said, "No, let's add three knives to the dessert tomorrow morning, and don't eat so much sweet food at night."

"Okay!" He Jing mainly liked these sachets, and was about to pick up a pen to start writing, but suddenly realized, "No... Ningzhi is older than me!"

"How can Ningzhi have as many opportunities to practice calligraphy as you?" Yu Yin said, "Why don't you discuss it with Ningzhi to see if she is willing to let you have one word per page? If she can write five well, you If there are five, you will win."

"Ning Zhi..." He Jing immediately begged to discuss with Ning Zhi.

Ningzhi is also generous: "My servants give me two characters per page! If there are five slaves who write well, and the eldest miss has four, then the eldest miss wins!"

After talking, the two started, and Yuyin didn't give Hejing too much "preferential treatment", and the two used the same pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

She took a sneak peek, and He Jing wrote with a tense expression, her little expression was full of seriousness!

Then she beat her waist, intending to continue to lie on the couch, but she felt very sore after taking two steps.

Meng Junhuai hurriedly helped her up, wanting to tell her "Go to bed early tonight and have a good rest", but just after saying two words, she snapped back: "I'll take He Jing to sleep tonight!"

"..." Meng Junhuai looked at her amusedly for a while, then stopped her and hugged her, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm..." She stared at him blankly, "I... didn't think... what... ah?"

"Well, God knows, you know and I know." With an expression of "I understand", he bowed his head and kissed her, put his hand dishonestly into her jacket, pinched her waist, "When did you 'think' hard, tell Weifu directly!"
