The little lady in the palace

Chapter 66 Contradictions
After a full day of full moon banquet, Yu Yin felt that she had come alive.

The previous month was too boring, not to mention depressed, and being unable to take a shower or go out all day made the whole person listless.Today, she was able to wash clean and see the guests. She felt as if the days were completely brightened, which made her feel refreshed.

As the evening approached, the guests left one after another, and only the mother and sister-in-law sat with her for a while.The mother watched how the two children liked it, and the sister-in-law played with her daughter Xiyao for a long time, and when the two of them left, there were smiles on the faces of the whole courtyard.

Yuyin sent them all the way to the gate of the palace, and when they returned to the main courtyard, she smiled at Shan Shan and said, "Take two quick steps, and make me a cup of tea first. I haven't drank any water while talking to my mother, and my throat is full of smoke."

Coral just laughed at her, and said, "The servant changed the tea for you three times and put it in your hand, who stopped you from letting you drink it?" Then he hurried back to the main courtyard.

After De Yuyin stepped into the gate of the main courtyard, he saw two people kneeling in the courtyard—the two nephews of Youshi in the Eastern courtyard, You Zechang and You Zeming.

"What's going on?" She called Zhao Chengrui to ask questions, and Zhao Chengrui bowed and said, "I don't know, but the side concubine brought someone over, and knelt here without saying a word. The slave is just waiting for you to come back." Ask you what to do."

Yu Yin thinks about it, she hasn't dealt with the East Courtyard for a few days, and she is not even familiar with these two children, and they haven't provoked her today.So it can only be that something happened at the banquet that made him unhappy?Not counting You Shi and her, but these two children provoked Meng Junhuai at the banquet earlier?

She told Zhao Chengrui: "Go and tell His Highness about this matter, and ask if it is his intention?"

In fact, she felt that it was probably not what Meng Junhuai meant. If he punished him, he would have punished him earlier. Why did he send it to her main courtyard?

As a result, Zhao Chengrui said when he turned back: "Your Highness said that he didn't mean it, but since you came here to kneel, let's kneel."

Yu Yin: "..."

"Just kneel"?
Yuyin couldn't bear it, the two boys were not too old in terms of age, You Zechang seemed to be nine years old, and You Zeming just turned six not long ago.In late autumn, the weather has turned cold, and the night dew is heavy, and the ground in her main courtyard is still paved with bluestone slabs, how can I bear it after kneeling for a long time?
But when she thought about it, it wouldn't be good to just wake them up.What if it's really something that can't be done without a lesson?It’s not like such a child is heinous, but what about being rude to guests at a banquet?

Yuyin thought of a compromise, whether they knelt or knelt, she first asked someone to get a thicker futon to cushion them, and then she waited for Meng Junhuai to come over and ask what was going on.If it really deserves to be punished, then it will be punished; if it is the result of his temporary anger, then she will persuade him.

After Yu Yin made it clear, she went back to the room, and He Jing was sitting on the Arhat bed, looking out the window.Seeing her come in, she frowned: "Is Father angry with them?"

"Well, yes." Yu Yin nodded, and He Jing said again: "Then how long will they kneel? It's so cold outside now."

Yu Yin carried her over and moved her to the couch, and smiled: "Don't worry, when your father and king come, the mother and concubine will persuade him."

"Ah..." He Jing suddenly looked disappointed, "Father is coming again? I want to sleep with mother and concubine!"

She really hasn't slept with the concubine mother for a long time. It was agreed to be alone for a day, but later, the father and the king refused to let her come over on the grounds that the concubine mother was pregnant.Later, he continued to block her out with the reason that the concubine was in confinement—but!He Jing is very clear!During the second half of the confinement period of the mother and concubine, the father came over almost every day!

My father doesn't count what he says!
He Jing secretly thought for a while that when her father came over, she must argue with him about this matter, otherwise she would suffer a lot!

Less than a moment later, Meng Junhuai arrived, and the few people in the room heard a "bang" door slamming, looked at each other, and hurried out to welcome them out.

Yang Enlu lowered his head and followed behind him, and it was obvious that the prince became angry after seeing these two boys surnamed You, and when he saw the princess coming out to welcome him, he quickly pointed at them, meaning that it would be better to settle this matter as soon as possible.

"What's wrong, Your Highness..." Yu Yin asked hesitantly, but Xi Yao's voice was much louder: "Uncle is not angry!"

"Hmph." Meng Junhuai snorted coldly, looked down at Xiyao, picked her up and entered the house, and said to Yuyin as he walked, "Don't persuade me about those two outside! Youshi decides to let them Didn’t you come here to apologize? Then let them!”

"What's the matter?" Yu Yin was at a loss.

He put Xi Yao on the couch, pointed outside and scolded again: "These two boys from the You family are half as sensible as the girl from your Xie family, I don't want to get angry with them!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He and Yuyin had spent a month tremblingly with Yuyin for this child whose life and death were unpredictable. Now he was eating fast and praying for the child. All the guests expressed their understanding and no one said anything. Come out this kind of gossip to sow discord? !
"If I didn't see that Ah Li liked them, I would send them back now! The mansion doesn't support such people!" Meng Junhuai was furious. dare not speak.

"Okay, okay, Xizhen will take the younger sisters to bed first, and she will get up early to study tomorrow." Yuyin coaxed the three girls away, and He Jing dragged her and complained in a low voice reluctantly. To sleep with her, she knelt down and kissed Jing, "Hey, let's sleep by myself for another day today, and the concubine will definitely take you to sleep tomorrow. Maybe you will come to sleep at noon, okay?"

"Okay..." He Jing was still a little helpless, he blessed her, and asked Ning Zhi to leave together.

Yu Yin turned back to Meng Junhuai: "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

As far as the few words he scolded angrily just now, she really didn't hear what happened at all.

Meng Junhuai looked up at her and took a deep breath.

She had just given birth, and it didn't seem right for him to lose his temper in front of her.

He pulled her to sit next to her, looked at her carefully for a while, and first boasted: "Well, little nun, you have become beautiful again."

Yuyin: "..." She had a straight face, "Benefactor, this poor nun is talking to you about something serious."

He chuckled: "What I said is also business."

In fact, it's real business, at least it's a fact.In the previous month, she was so sluggish by the child's situation that she seemed to be a different person, moaning and sighing all day long, and digging into the corner of the child's affairs. There were several times when he felt in a trance that this was not him. The little nun I knew.

For the past few days, he had been very worried that something might happen to her. Even the imperial physician said that it was caused by her overthinking. If she didn't pay attention to recuperation, the consequences would be hard to say, which made him terrified.

Now that she is so clean and fresh, he can be regarded as relieved. He thinks that she has "come back", and the child will get better and better in the future.

Thinking about it, Meng Junhuai felt a little more at ease, shook her hands that had gained some flesh due to confinement, and calmly talked about what happened earlier.

Then he told her: "So don't persuade me. Let them instigate between me and my sons, against them? I'm not used to their problems!"

Yu Yin thought for a while, and said "Oh".

There are many things that you must dare to accept punishment if you dare to do it. When you are in someone else's house, don't talk too much and instigate the relationship between other people's family. Does the abbot or the abbot speak rudely?

When she was a child, she heard about it once, saying that a temple not far away was broken into by a drunk man, and the drunk man pointed at the golden statue of Sakyamuni and cursed at him when he entered, and the result...

That monastery belongs to Songshan Shaolin, and monks account for more than half of it.More than [-] people came out to kill the general. They chased the drunk man for three streets with their sticks in their hands. They were so frightened that he was sober and knelt down to apologize and beg for mercy.

You Zechang and You Zeming are also in the same situation now, if they insist on chewing the root of their tongue, isn't it intentional to annoy the Patriarch?
Yuyin didn't persuade him much, but called Shan Shan and told him, "Tell the person on duty today, make the futon thicker for them, and send them back when they arrive at home. Those who are staying, just clean up a room and let them rest here, they should call the doctor, call the doctor."

She said this without Meng Junhuai's back at all, and Meng Junhuai sneered after hearing this: "So you're making up my mind?"

"Did I take it wrong?" Yuyin asked sincerely, and was about to call Coral back.

"No." He stopped the hand she just extended, and leaned over to sip her face, "You have always handled matters of proportion better than me, and I am very relieved to leave the back house to you."

At night, Xizhen fell into a drowsy sleep, and the knock on the door rang in her ears for a long time before she was completely pulled out of her dream.

She rubbed her eyes and got down on the bed to open the door. After a closer look, the eunuch in front of her was surprised and frowned: "What's the matter?"

"Miss Biao..." The eunuch outside the threshold shrank back, avoiding her eyes and replied, "This... the night dew is heavy, Mr. You is sick on his knees, and Eunuch Zhao in your main courtyard ordered him to take a hot bath , the hot water ran out. Now he is anxious to drink some hot tea, so he can only...can only borrow some water from you."

Xie Xizhen remembered the previous unhappiness, so she couldn't help asking: "Which Mr. You? The big one or the small one?"

"This..." The eunuch also knew what happened last time, and replied with a wry smile, "Big one."

Seeing her snort, she turned around and went back to the house.

"Hey, Miss Biao..." The eunuch rushed to persuade him, and came out one by one saying "Your Excellency has a lot". Run to the house with the lights on.

You Zechang was laying on the bed dizzily, when he heard a "clang" in his ear, he fixed his eyes and saw a teapot was placed there.

Xie Xizhen graciously sat down on the chair beside her, summoned up her courage, and said, "I'll drink tea for you, and you are not allowed to bully me in the future! You are also not allowed to go to the princess to sue me!"

The childish and domineering words scared the eunuch who had just followed in and knelt down with a plop.

In recent days, Xizhen has been holding her breath.

Her mother's advice made her dare not confront anyone in the house head-on, but she was still the daughter of the Xie family, and her temper was raised as long as she could remember, and she had never suffered this kind of temper in her hometown!

She wondered if You Zechang could be brought under control.After taking a breath, Xie Xizhen said again: "I have never provoked you before, so don't look at me as a bully! Even if I can't get along with the princess, I have the same surname as Xie! It's not your turn to step on me casually." I!"

"Hey, you..." You Zechang coughed fiercely from her anger, and after recovering from it, he pointed at her unwillingly and said, "You challenge me, right? I'm not afraid of you! I'll see you in the future!"

"Hmph! My aunt is not afraid of you!" Xie Xizhen also got angry, stood up and stomped her feet, glared at You Zechang and left.

Soon she turned back and took the teapot away with her!

You Zechang was so angry that his eyes widened in the room. After staring for a long time, he copied a teacup and threw it at the door. The teacup hit the door with a bang, and then shattered all over the floor.
