The little lady in the palace

Chapter 65 Full Moon
Yuyin was bored in the quilt and said nothing, thinking in her heart that she still had to persuade him to leave.

To be honest, she's hated herself for a while now.She has been a noble daughter of the Xie family since she was born, and she has never been dirty for such a long time without taking a bath... Although she wipes her body every day and combs her hair with a grate, she still feels very dirty, so dirty that she has no face to face others.

So even when he came to see her during the day, she felt extremely stressed, and now he still plans to sleep with her...

Yu Yin stretched out his hand and pushed him: "Your Highness, let's sleep by ourselves for a while, we'll talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to do."

"No, I don't like to sleep by myself. If you insist on pushing me away, I'll go to the concubine's side."

"Hall..." She subconsciously wanted to say, "Your Highness can go if you want", but when she figured out what he was talking about, the words stuck in her throat.

"Hey, I know you don't like it." Meng Junhuai scratched her nose in the dark, then leaned over and hugged her without any scruples, "Listen to what I said, the other day I saw you dragging my grandfather to prevent me from leaving, my grandfather I am very happy. Grandpa likes you, and I like to see you care about Grandpa, but what I am most afraid of... is that you will suddenly disappear one day."

suddenly gone...

Yu Yin moved in his arms: "Why? I gave birth safely."

"Why not? Look at how you've been living these days." He sighed, "You're like that, I know you're not feeling well, but do you think I'm comfortable? What's the use? What about the 'fate' you keep talking about every day?"

Yu Yin fell silent. Of course she understands the principle of "following fate". When things come to an end, it becomes very difficult to follow fate.After all, it was her child, and he was so young, she felt that she couldn't breathe when she saw him so breathless.

She wiped her tears in his arms: "I know all these reasons, but I just don't feel like it. You see, I have been eating fast and praying to Buddha for so many years, and I have never done anything bad... Even if I did, it will be retribution Come on me, why blame the child!"

"Look at you, you stupid brain." He smiled lowly, touched her face, and wiped her tears away, "Don't you pay attention to karma and reincarnation? You haven't done bad things, but maybe this The child's previous life..."

"Your Highness!" She immediately stopped him.Now she can't hear others say that the child is not good, and she doesn't want to listen to him, the father, saying that the child is not good at this time without any basis.

"Don't be angry." Meng Junhuai nodded and kissed her, "Listen to me."

Yu Yin bit her lip and listened to him in a muffled voice.

Meng Junhuai said: "You haven't done anything bad, maybe he really did something bad in his previous life. But bad things are not the same as bad things. You don't have to pay with your life for everything, right?"

Yu Yin nodded.

He continued: "So, he doesn't have to pay with his life in this life, maybe he just has to suffer for a few days to pay off this debt...Of course, it may be that I think too well, but no matter what, that's all. His life."

"I know that..." Yu Yin frowned, feeling that he had said a lot, but he still went back to "that's all his life". She had said this to herself, but it didn't make her feel Feel better.

Meng Junhuai continued: "This is something we cannot control, but what is more important to us is what we should do." He breathed a sigh of relief, "We are parents, no matter what happens to our children, we have to take care of them. Good for him. In this way, if he can get through this test, he can grow up happily in the future; and if he can't, he will also be happy during the few days he is alive."

He stroked her eyelids with his fingers: "Let him see his mother crying every day, he must be unhappy."

Yu Yin let out a muffled "hmm".

He said again in a gentle voice: "Besides, it's not just talk that crying in confinement will hurt your eyes. You do this every day. If you become blind, what will you do with your father? What will you do with your other son? The little one was born to you. Yes, isn’t it the big one?”

"Yes..." she murmured, and when she saw that he was about to raise her hand to wipe his tears again, she hugged his arm, "I know... I will be careful tomorrow, from tomorrow! I will definitely not cry! No matter how much he can As long as I live, I will stay with him!"

"Hey, it's not too bad." He put his other hand behind her and stroked her back, adding a little threat, "Let's make an agreement, don't cry anymore. Otherwise, I have no choice but to prevent you from seeing him. Don't blame me then."

"No need! I won't cry anymore!" Yu Yin hurriedly promised, and after hearing his satisfied laugh, she added, "Today... go to bed early?"

"Yeah." He patted her on the back, "Go to sleep."

"..." Yuyin tried to say, "Are you going to sleep in the Westinghouse?"

"I do not!"

Meng Junhuai kissed her side face hard: "Go to sleep, I don't think you're dirty."

Yu Yin: "..."

So when the sky was bright again, the servants who came in to wait on the house found that Wang Hao's mood seemed... clearer?
After a simple wash, Yuyin ordered them to have breakfast, took a bite or two of each item, and then asked the nanny to bring the two children.

Both children were awake, the big eyes were looking at her brightly, the little one... for the first time she found that the little one was really likable besides being too weak and pitiable.

He was still not in good spirits, and he looked dazed while lying in the swaddle, but there was a clear smile at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at her and smiled for a long time.

"Little Mo Renjing." She tapped his forehead lightly, "You can still laugh, do you know how many days your parents and sister have been worrying about you? Will you get better? Hey ...You said that you are two brothers in your stomach, if you are gone, your brother will definitely not be used to it, right? "

Meng Junhuai watched with a smile as she muttered to the child about these things, and when she finished muttering, he also muttered: "I'm telling you, brat. You have to live well, we still have a debt to talk about." Well—do you know who your mother is? The girl from the Xie family is a lady from a famous family. She has never been rude or embarrassing in her life. The appearance that tortured you that day may not even be recognized by her own mother. Don’t you have to be responsible for this? You have to grow up and be filial to her, you know? You can’t run away and reincarnate after bullying someone!”

The child lying in Yuyin's arms yawned, babbled, closed his eyes, and shook off his father's reaction of "I don't understand what you are talking about".

Next, several young masters and servants in the main courtyard watched with trepidation, seeing the prince and concubine chattering in the young master's ear every day, but after they chattered for nearly half a month... the young master really recovered.

The doctor said this: "Young master is still weaker than children of the same age, but if you take care of him carefully, you should have no problem surviving. If you can survive a hundred days safely, you will be safer."

That day Meng Junhuai saw that the smile on Yuyin's face could not be wiped off, so he laughed to himself from time to time.When the lunch was served, she looked at the dining table, thought about it and said, "Thank you Bodhisattva for your blessing! I plan to fast for a month, so I can fulfill my wish. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Meng Junhuai hurriedly stopped her: "That's not okay! You're in confinement, what fasting do you eat, will you survive?"

Yu Yin: "..."

Then he clicked his tongue and said, "You have a good confinement period, I will eat fast until he passes a hundred days." Then he turned around and ordered boldly, "Go and serve the princess a cup of chicken soup!"

A few days later, it was the full moon banquet for the two children.

There are customary rules in Beijing, whenever a child is added to the family, a hundred-day banquet must be held.As for the full moon banquet, it depends on the mood. Many families have children born from the concubine, and those born from the concubine will save a meal.There are also some, the son has passed, but the daughter has not.

This is the second time that a full moon banquet is held in Yijun Palace.Last time it was for the eldest lady and Jing in the mansion, this time it was for the two newborn sons.

In the east courtyard, while smiling and entertaining the side concubines from various mansions who came to congratulate, Youshi imagined the scene ahead with mixed feelings in his heart.

Neither Ah Li nor Ah Qi had held a full moon banquet. Even for the hundred-day banquet, the main banquet was held by the male relatives in the front house and the female family members in the back house with the princess. She, the birth mother, was in the east courtyard. Rather, it is secondary.

This time the princess gave birth to a child, but of course she took all the glory.

She had heard a long time ago that the concubine was busy in the main courtyard, and the prince would send someone to ask how she was doing every moment, for fear that she would be tired from the full moon feast just after she was confinement.It's as if the princess is a jade doll, even if the prince holds it in his hand, he is afraid of breaking it.

"Shanzhi." You Shi found some free time and sighed, "You pick a clever eunuch and go ahead and watch it. If Ah Li and Ah Qi are not happy watching, bring them back earlier."

Today should be the time when the two sons-in-law have a good time, but in her heart, she doesn't want her two children to be a foil to them.If it's really about winning or losing, it's because she, the mother, loses because of her position, and it's not that her child is inferior to the concubine's legitimate son.

At the banquet in the front house of the Wangfu, all the guests were so lively that they seemed to tear down the house to finish.

It is true that many children are added to the clan every year, but there are too few twins.Especially this time, both of them were born smoothly, although I heard that one of them is not in good health, it is still enough to make this a rare happy event!

But the helplessness is just that others are blindly happy, and the father's master doesn't drink alcohol, and he doesn't even touch meat or vegetables.

After the twelfth prince got a little drunk, he came over to persuade him: "Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother, this is not suitable for you! Called all the brothers, you don't drink a sip? If you really don't drink, I will pour my nephew went!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and asked the eunuch next to him: "Where's Ah Li? His father won't let him come over! There's no such thing as a full moon banquet... Isn't this your son?"

The eunuch next to him hurriedly persuaded with a smile, "Master, you are too drunk, Your Highness Six is ​​eating for the young master." Then he quickly turned his head and apologized to Meng Junhuai, "Don't be surprised, Your Highness, our lord is too drunk .”

Meng Junhuai waved his hand to show that he didn't care. Just as the Twelfth Prince was about to say something more, the flagon in his hand was snatched away.

Ah Li looked at him angrily: "I'll drink with Uncle Twelve!"

"Ah, boy, you can." The Twelfth Prince just raised his hand to touch his head, Meng Junhuai waved his hand away with a sullen face, and snatched the jug from Ah Li's hand: "Ah Li, don't make trouble! You are still young, you can't drink wine!"

Ah Li puffed his mouth, feeling extremely unhappy.

From the beginning of the banquet, his two cousins ​​kept telling him, "Look, your father didn't even drink wine for the son born to the princess at the full moon banquet." He congratulates "Your father is still good to you" and so on, but he thinks it shouldn't be like this!
He hoped that his father would treat him and Ah Qi well, as well as the two new born younger brothers. As the big brother, he would take good care of them, just like his sister took care of him!
Moreover, he has visited his younger brothers, they are all cute, why doesn't the father like them?

Ah Li held his breath in his heart and didn't dare to reach out to grab the wine from his father, so he asked him after a while: "Why don't you celebrate the full moon for your younger brothers?"

"...Ah?" Meng Junhuai was taken aback, thinking, isn't this celebrating the full moon?Am I not at the full moon feast?
Ah Li put his arms around his hips to fight for the injustice of his two younger brothers: "I heard from my cousin! When I passed the hundredth day, my father, you were drunk, and when Ah Qi passed the hundredth day, you also drank a lot! Why do you drink a lot when the younger brother is full moon?" Stop drinking?!"

Meng Junhuai froze, frowning.

He looked at You Zechang and You Zeming who were waiting in the distance, then at A Li, picked him up and put him on his knees: "A Li, my father asked you, what's going on? , your two cousins ​​haven't entered the mansion yet, how do they know whether the father has drunk or not?"

"Huh..." Ah Li tilted his head and thought about it, feeling like hey!He didn't remember what he was like when he passed his hundred days, but when his younger brother passed his hundred days, the two cousins ​​really hadn't entered the mansion yet.

He replied puzzled, "I don't know..."

Meng Junhuai smiled softly: "Yang Enlu."

Yang Enlu bowed and stepped forward. Meng Junhuai looked at Ah Li and lowered his voice a little bit: "Did you hear what you said just now? Go to the East Courtyard and tell You Shi exactly what you said!"

"Yes." Yang Enlu bowed and took the order to leave.Meng Junhuai held the chopsticks and fed a jiaoliu ball to Ah Li: "Come and eat vegetables, listen to what my father said, my father doesn't drink because he doesn't like your younger brother, but because he is praying for them, understand?"

"Oh..." Ah Li didn't quite understand, but he was relieved when his father said that it wasn't that he didn't like his younger brother.
