The little lady in the palace

Chapter 78

After the two brothers drank half a cup of tea each, they finally calmed down the embarrassment.

Meng Junhuai put down the teacup, looked at the King of Qi County, thought for a while and said, "This year the ninth younger brother must be crowned king."

King Qi Jun said "hmm" and didn't continue.

Meng Junhuai had no choice but to continue by himself: "At that time, there will be a banquet in Ninth Brother's residence, Fourth Brother, you..."

"Sixth brother." Duke Qi also put down the teacup and raised his eyes, "Don't say that out loud. If you say it, I won't agree, and it will hurt the brotherhood for nothing."

"Fourth brother, why do you need it?" Meng Junhuai frowned, "You have been back for two months, and you can keep the door behind closed doors and keep your brothers out. Don't you see what the queen mother is worried about in the palace? I don't want to ask you what happened to the big brother, but since we are brothers, what can't be said? Or you can just get angry with the big brother, what's going on when the door is closed and all the brothers are pushed out? ?”

He made it clear in one breath, King Qi was silent for a while, and said: "When I left Beijing, the concubine in your mansion gave birth to two sons, right?"

"Fourth brother, please don't interrupt!" Meng Junhuai only said that he wanted to bypass the topic, but Meng Junyi shook his head: "I just want to ask, which of these two sons do you like better?"

"Fourth brother?" Meng Junhuai frowned even tighter.

King Qi Jun let out a sigh of relief: "Maybe it is still the same in your eyes now, but there will always be a distinction in the future. These two children will gradually understand that they are both descendants of the same age, and sooner or later there will be a difference." When we fear each other."

Meng Junhuai was upset: "Why do you say that!"

"Because there is only one heir of your Yijun King." Qi Junwang looked at him flatly, and then led his eyes to look outside: "Our father also only has one seat."

"Fourth brother..." Meng Junhuai took a light breath.

King Qi Jun smiled, and turned his eyes back: "Your two sons-in-law are not the eldest sons, and they are of the same age, which will make them evenly matched in the future. Although there is a difference in age between my eldest brother and my eldest brother, my eldest brother's mother died young, and my mother's mother died early. Shang is still alive, so he has also added strength to me - there is such a comparison, I said that the elder brother has no fear of me, do you believe it?"

"Brother is definitely not that kind of person!"

"People change." Duke Qi took a deep breath, "Maybe I am too wary now, but I just want to keep things that have not happened yet out. If the eldest brother is not afraid of me, I will I just hope that he will not be afraid of me in the future. He went to the court to listen to the government early on, and he is used to things like open guns and hidden arrows, but I..."

King Qi paused, then chuckled again: "I am a man with no ambitions. I just want a peaceful life in this palace. I realized that he might be pushing forward, so I backed away. Not with any of you." I'm angry, I just want to be safe."

Meng Junhuai seemed to have something to say, but he choked when he saw Duke Qi's expression.

In the past few years, the brothers hardly talked about that position face to face, nor did they feel that the position would cause any disputes.Those of them who are younger brothers feel that the elder brother should take that seat, and it has nothing to do with other brothers, nor does it have anything to do with themselves.

Now that Duke Qi suddenly mentioned the precautions caused by that position, Meng Junhuai felt in a daze for a while.

This is different from the empress mother's bewilderment. The empress mother's bewilderment only makes him think that it is because she is in the deep palace and it is difficult to know what is going on outside, so she is easy to think wildly.And the fourth brother's plain words to this point really made him feel that something had changed between the brothers.

So Yuyin wakes up from a nap and hears from Shanhu that the prince has returned, and after returning, she plays with the two young masters in the West Wing.

As soon as Yu Yin heard it, she wondered if he was in a bad mood in the Qi County Prince's Mansion?
He had never played alone in the house with his child before, no matter what, he would come to find her first, if she was sleeping, he preferred to find a book and read it while waiting for her to wake up.

So after she changed her clothes, she tied up her hair casually and ran to the West Wing. When she opened the door, she heard Azuo Ayou giggling.

"Can you lie down properly?" Meng Junhuai picked up Ayou again and laid him flat. Ayou looked at him with bright eyes, and lay down on his stomach again.

A Zuo who was lying down giggled, and reached out to grab his younger brother's face.Ah You opened his mouth wide enough to bite his brother's hand.

Yuyin burst out laughing.

"Are you awake?" Meng Junhuai turned to look at her, and opened his mouth to tell Ah You, "This brat refuses to sleep well, so he must lie on his stomach. I read in medical books that it is not good for children to lie on their stomachs. hit him several times."

"Hey, it's okay. He felt fresh, so he lay down obediently when he was tired." Yuyin explained.

A Zuo will turn over in more than three months, and A You's body is still too weak at that time.It wasn't until a few days ago that Ayou suddenly turned over on his own in one night. Since then, he seems to have discovered a new joy!

Recently, he has been very fond of turning over and lying there, and then looking at adults with his fingers in his mouth.

Yu Yin walked over and asked the nanny to take the two children off the couch and put them back in the cradle respectively, and then looked at Meng Junhuai's expression: "It's not going well with Duke Qi?"

"It's not going well." Meng Junhuai sighed deeply, "Fourth brother has his own ideas, but..." He shook his head, "I don't know what to say."

He stared sideways at the two brothers who were looking at them in the cradle, and said in silence for a while: "I hope the two of them will be well in the future."

It was June when Meng Jun, the ninth son of the emperor, was appointed King of Shenjun. At that time, it was the time when Azuo and Ayou's two children were crawling all over the ground.

The main courtyard was disturbed by them every day, making it extremely noisy.The main reason is that these two climbed too neatly and at an extremely fast speed.Several times, Yuyin put them on the ground and said, "I can only play for a while"——after "a while", the two crawled around and disappeared.

They are also very good at hiding. They have been hidden under the table and under the bed. Once Amber and Agate were tidying up the closet for Yuyin. little doll.

On the second floor of the cabinet, there was an Ahri sitting.

Ari has been particularly miserable recently.After the two brothers could crawl, they chased it every day, and even pulled its tail when they caught up, making it more and more fond of lying on high places recently, wondering while licking its paws: Aren't you two-legged beasts?How to become a four-legged beast?
Yuyin carried it down from the height, and it would grunt and chirp to vent its dissatisfaction.

On the morning when Meng Junhuai and Xie Yuyin were going to attend the congratulatory banquet at the Shen County Prince's Mansion, the main courtyard was still like this.

The two were changing clothes, one inside the screen and the other outside the screen. After a while, they saw the two brothers crawling around.

Yuyin heard Meng Junhuai's voice over there sinking: "Azuo, don't put everything in your mouth!"

"..." She lowered her head and looked seriously at her feet, and said in a raised voice, "My side is A Zuo."

Meng Junhuai: "..."

So she heard the other side say again: "Ayou, put it down!"

After a while, I saw Yang Enlu take a new waist sash and send it over, and said that the tassel of the one just now was eaten wet by the young master.

She went around to the screen and looked at the wet tassel and smiled for a long time. She was about to hug Ah You and scold him, when He Jing screamed outside: "You two stop! Don't run!"

The couple looked at each other, and hurriedly followed the sound to check in the main room.

"Give it back to me quickly! I want to go out!" He Jing was jumping anxiously.

She felt that her bun was loose just now, so she took off the hair tie and put it aside.I just called someone to come over and help her recomb her hair, and when I turned my head, I saw that the hair tie on the table was gone!
She didn't even see which one was grabbing the end of the hair tie and pulling it away, but she saw two small figures quickly crawl away from the table, and the little thief was very smart, and it was inconvenient to crawl with something in his hand. Put the hair tie in his mouth, and run away with it in his mouth!
She hurried to chase, the other suddenly turned around and crawled towards her, crawled in front of her, turned over, sat down and hugged her legs: "Hold!"

He Jing: "..."

She took a look and recognized that the cheater in front of her was Ah You, the one who stole her hairband.She was afraid that Ah Zuo would fall if she forced herself away, so she could only yell at Ah Zuo: "Come back, little villain! Give me back the hair tie!"

A Zuo, who quickly climbed to the threshold with the hairband in his mouth and was about to turn out, was picked up under the armpit.

"Hey—" He was stunned, and the person who came to "capture" rolled him into his arms, and he laughed when he saw who it was, "Mother!"

Meng Junhuai frowned, and while taking off the hairband from his mouth, he said, "I will be called mother and father!"

"Mother!" Ah Zuo still used the same word, and after calling again crisply, he reached out to grab the hair tie again.

"Go and get a new one for Miss." Meng Junhuai handed the hair tie, which was too wet to see, to Yang Enlu, and sat aside with Ah Zuo in his arms, "You are not allowed to bully sister!"

"mother!"

"..." He stared, "Call me Dad!"

"mother!"

Meng Junhuai: "..."

"Hahahaha!" Yu Yin laughed without saving any face.

In fact, he was the first to teach the children to call people. Since a month ago, he has been teaching the two children to call father every day.As a result, the first word Ah Zuo called out was "mother", and Ah You was even more annoying, the first word he would say was "hug".

That day Meng Junhuai was so angry that he covered his chest and said he was going to vomit blood.

Yuyin took the new hair belt and went to comb He Jing's hair, and Ah You let go of her sister and crawled towards her father: "Hug!"

"I won't hug you!" Meng Junhuai glared at him, "Call me dad!"

"Call me sister!" He Jing added to the confusion.

Meng Junhuai yelled at her, then continued to stare at Ayou: "Call Dad first!"

Yang Enlu, who had just stepped into the main room after listening to the words of his subordinates outside the door, couldn't react and called Dad directly, he bit the words, fell back and pulled his mind back to normal: "Master."

Meng Junhuai looked over, still smiling: "Say."

"That... King Shanjun is here, and he said he was going to go with you to Prince Shenjun's mansion, so he waited for you at the gate of the mansion."

Meng Junhuai's eyebrows twitched, and he and Yu Yin looked at each other, both of them had the same thought: Lao Shi didn't follow Lao Jiu's invitation at all, he was afraid that he might not be able to enter the gate of Shenjun Prince's Mansion, right?
