The little lady in the palace

Chapter 85
For Meng Junhuai, it was difficult to make a decision, and for Xie Yuyin, it was not easy to make random plans.In the end, the two invited Xie Jiqing to Qingyuan for a visit.

When the news arrived the next day, Xie Jiqing was leading the brocade guards in the Zhenfu Department to practice.

After hearing the eunuch's report, he was taken aback: "Go to Qingyuan?"

"Yes." Zhao Chengrui bowed, "Yes, the princess said she was a little homesick, so the prince asked you to go over and talk. You don't have to care too much, just go for a walk whenever you have time, it's all from my family, Be casual."

"Oh..." Xie Jiqing agreed after thinking about it, and he was not in a hurry to leave with Zhao Chengrui, and asked someone to send Zhao Chengrui away politely.

Then he calmly practiced with his subordinates for another two minutes, and when he saw the setting sun, he yawned tiredly: "Let's go early today, I'll go to see the princess, and I have to go back to Beijing tonight." Come."

The subordinates were naturally considerate, and jokingly said Brother Xie, don't worry, if you can't come back in time, we dare not neglect the practice.

Xie Jiqing smiled and replied "You'd better not dare", then stepped out of the courtyard gate, got on the horse and swung his whip, and he galloped away.

The sky was red and the sun was like blood, Xie Jiqing hurried all the way, the dust behind him was constantly flying, and the scenery was flying so fast that he couldn't see anything clearly, but his thoughts became clearer.

There must be something big.

He has been in and out of the Prince's Mansion in Yijun so many times, but none of them were purely for private affairs.Every time I went there under the pretense of seeing my daughter, but the place I went to the first time was Yijun Wang's study.

However, he has never been invited directly in the name of Yuyin before, and he has never been to Qingyuan in the suburbs of Beijing. Just write a letter.

what will happen?

Xie Jiqing didn't know what to do, so he could only rush over without stopping. As soon as he stopped his horse at the gate of Qingyuan, Yang Enlu greeted him personally: "Mr. Xie."

"Eunuch Yang." Xie Jiqing cupped his hands on the horse, got off the horse and walked quickly inside, asking as he walked, "What happened?"

"This... the princess wants to invite you to reminisce about the old days." Yang Enlu bowed and said.

Xie Jiqing glanced at Yang Enlu.

Forget it, he should have known that he couldn't hear anything that shouldn't be said from this Eunuch Yang.

He made up his mind and followed Yang Enlu to continue walking. The place he arrived at was indeed Yuyin's residence in Qingyuan - Mingxin Pavilion.

After stepping into the gate of the courtyard, Xi Yao ran out first.Xi Yao yelled loudly "Dad!", and was hugged by Xie Jiqing, and the father and daughter laughed in the yard.

The night wind was blowing, Yuyin looked into the east wing from the window again, and saw that the lights in the room were still on.The shadow sitting by the window looked like an elder brother, while Meng Junhuai was pacing up and down.

We've been chatting for almost two hours.

He Jing had already fallen asleep, and when she turned over, she realized that there was no one around, so she woke up and rubbed her eyes: "Mother Concubine..."

"Huh? Concubine mother is here." Yuyin walked over, sat down on the couch and patted her, "Go on to sleep, concubine mother is going to see how your father and uncle are doing."

He Jing nodded and yawned, then said, "I'm hungry."

Yuyin then called Amber and asked her to ask the dining room to prepare some digestible food for supper. After thinking about it, she said, "Go and ask if there is any chicken soup. A wonton. Make a few more bowls and send some to His Royal Highness and brother."

Hu Po answered "Yes" and stepped back to do so, while Yu Yin sat by the couch and continued to accompany He Jing.After a while, the chicken noodle soup came in, she looked up, and saw Meng Junhuai coming in together.

Yu Yin: "...where's brother? Are you done chatting?"

"After the chat, I arranged a place for him, and the noodles you asked to prepare were delivered directly." He sat down on the couch, and his servants fetched the couch table to set it up, and brought up three bowls of chicken noodle soup.In addition to the noodles, there is also a dish of sauced beef and a dish of spicy tendons.

He picked up a chopstick and ate the spicy tendon, Yu Yin asked him: "What do you say? Do you agree to Prince Jin's matter?"

"Your brother said he agreed. He meant to see the trick, and it would be too deliberate to refuse directly." Meng Junhuai frowned at the heat, ate his mouth, and said, "I thought about it, but I still want to trust my brother. Not that kind of person."

He sent a piece of sauced beef to the Yuyin bowl, and fed another piece to He Jing, and then said: "Oh, by the way, your brother wants to take Xi Yao home for a few days, I agreed, and let them go back together tomorrow." , and send Xi Yao back in a few days."

"Then just come back after the summer, it's so hot now, going back and forth is too much trouble for the children." Yu Yin said.

Meng Junhuai was right after thinking about it, so he nodded, while He Jing hugged her arm with a bitter face: "No, I want to play with Xi Yao."

"You just know how to play, Xiyao is homesick." Yu Yin scratched her nose, "Let her come back and you can play together when the weather cools down. Your younger brother will be two years old at that time, so it will be more lively."

He Jing was still pouted and unhappy, so the couple could only coax her and say that if she misses Xi Yao too much, let her go to Xie's house to play.

——Of course, if she wakes up and forgets about it, they won't bring it up.

Qianqing Palace.

King Shanjun withdrew from the palace, and when he looked up, he saw Prince Jin still waiting at the door.

He shrank back, trying to pretend he didn't see it and go around to dodge, Prince Jin called him with a sullen face: "Tenth brother."

"Hey, big brother." King Shanjun had to pretend to have just seen it, and made a bow, "Brother, you are still there... I'm sorry, my brother didn't know that you have been waiting for a long time. The emperor just now I felt a little tired and went to bed directly, brother, why don't you... come back tomorrow?"

Prince Jin smiled lightly: "Forget it, let's talk about it."

King Shanjun was so guilty that he almost knelt down for him on the spot.

Prince Jin patted him on the shoulder, striding out of the palace, King Shanjun had no choice but to follow.

It wasn't until he bypassed the Hall of Supreme Harmony that Prince Jin said the first sentence: "Give me an accurate word, do you want to fight for that seat?"

"Brother..." Shanjun Wangxian didn't expect him to ask such a straightforward question, and his face turned pale with fright.

"What are you panicking about?" Prince Jin smiled calmly, "You and I are born princes, so that seat is nothing more than normal."

He said and kept his feet still: "But I want to understand, do you want to sit in that seat just for yourself? Even if you sit in Wei Yulin's hands, you don't care?"

Prince Jin looked at his tenth brother while talking, and before he finished speaking, he saw King Shanjun raised his hand tremblingly, wiping his cold sweat.

He couldn't help smiling coldly: "I really can't think highly of you at all."

"Brother, in fact, if you don't provoke Wei Yulin, he..."

"If you speak for him, I really can't recognize you as a younger brother." Prince Jin's face became colder. After saying this, he looked at the gate of the palace, "Go back to the mansion earlier. Since you think so , Brother can’t indulge you in this matter. In the future, you can decide for yourself whether to completely turn your face and deny people or keep this brotherhood, it’s all up to you.”

King Shanjun was silent and didn't answer.

"I'm going back home too." Prince Jin nodded slightly, ignored him, and walked away.

At the end of June, Yuyin heard that her elder brother Wei Jin commanded Tongzhi.

His former thousand households were at the fifth rank, and his commanders and colleagues were at the third rank. There was only one commander above him, and he belonged to the second rank among Jinyiwei.

Such a sudden promotion happened in Xie's house, which caused a discussion in Beijing for a while, but the discussion lasted only three days before it was overwhelmed by another sudden news.

The emperor made a decree to make Liu, the side concubine of Shanjun Prince's Mansion, the official concubine of Shanjun Wang.

Fuzheng, the concubine of the palace, has never been in this dynasty, let alone this one who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife in the past?
In the Shanjun Prince's Mansion, the Liu family herself was a little flustered, and asked the Shanjun King worriedly: "What's going on? Everyone in Beijing said it was an order from the Lord, but I heard from the side concubine Mao of Prince Jin's Mansion that it seems that Prince Jin Did you make a premise with the emperor? Didn't you have a bad time with Prince Jin? Why did he suddenly help you..."

"Brother, maybe you should be courteous first and then soldiers." Shanjun Wang said.

He also knew that it was the eldest brother who spoke during the meeting.Counting it, it has been seven or eight months since his paperwork was delivered to Qianqing Palace. Wei Yulin sent a letter to him, saying that the paperwork is being suppressed for the time being, and told him not to mention it to the emperor. He didn't expect that his elder brother would carry.

"Anyway, since the father agrees, you can accept it with peace of mind." King Shanjun smiled, "Good thing, don't think about it."

In the Prince's Mansion of Yi County, when Yuyin heard about Liu's rectification, she thought disrespectfully... Is the emperor sick and confused?

Meng Junhuai waved his hand to make people retreat, and after he calmed down for a while, he still laughed: "It must be the elder brother's idea."

"Ah?" Yu Yin was stunned.

He clicked his lips and poured a glass of wine to her leisurely: "This kind of unpleasant thing is a joke when it is spread among the people. If someone does it, someone has to be reprimanded." He glanced at her, "You know it's the emperor's father." Yes, but do you dare to scold father?"

"...Don't dare." Yu Yin said immediately.

Meng Junhuai raised his eyebrows: "That's right, so whose fault is it?"

Yuyin suddenly realized!

The concubine of Shanjun Prince's mansion was righted, and the emperor who granted this matter was naturally right. At most, others said that he loved his son and forgot the rules, and that was the fault of Shanjun Prince.

This kind of matter has always been big or small, Shanjun King is currently getting the holy will, and it is impossible to be overthrown by this matter, but this matter will still become a black spot in his life.

If there is a chance in the future, then this is an old account.

"Your elder brother also..." Yu's introduction stopped short, signaling to Meng Junhuai that he understood.

Meng Junhuai answered: "I know, it's very dark... Actually, I can't say it, it's still too young for the old ten."

As long as the old ten is a little bit more capable, it will not be so controlled by Dongchang, and he has not won any real power after receiving the holy will for so long.

The eldest brother is fine if he doesn't make a move, and if he makes a move, he kills two birds with one stone.

As soon as the concubine's uprighting happened, it not only cast a bad name on the old ten, but also suppressed the limelight of Xie Jiqing's promotion, so as not to be too eye-catching.

As far as the old ten is concerned, he might still be happy about it in the dark!
"Shall we go to the congratulatory banquet at the Prince's Mansion of Shan County?" Yu Yin asked.

"Go, why don't you go?" Meng Junhuai smiled calmly, "If he dares to invite us, he dares to go. Anyway, it is not our house that is ashamed."

Xie Jia, Xie Jiqing frowned after receiving the post from Xie Ci: "This king of Shanjun has a big face!"

"Yeah." Xie Ci took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and looked at his son, "The concierge didn't figure out the seriousness, so he took it. I've already had someone give me a reward. But you still have to answer this post. "

Xie Jiqing: "..."

This post was sent by Prince Shanjun to make a marriage proposal, saying that his eldest son is five years old and wants to make a marriage proposal with Xie Jiqing's daughter, Xiyao.

- how?He wants to take Xiuchun Dao to talk to King Shanjun, okay?
Xie Jiqing said in his heart, is this county prince really stupid?Doesn't he know what he is like among his brothers?Doesn't he know the relationship between Xie Jiqing and Yijun Palace?Marry Xi Yao to the son of King Shanjun?He lost his mind?
Besides, Xi Yao is more than a year older than his eldest son, which is not appropriate.

Although age is not the most important thing, Xie Jiqing still hopes that his future son-in-law will be a little older than Xi Yao and know how to take care of Xi Yao.

He stood in front of his father with a livid face for a while, and threw the post on the table of the Eight Immortals: "I can't answer this, the only thing I can mention is that the age is not suitable, so what if he mentions the younger girl in our Xie family? If I say something else, it won’t sound good.”

Xie Ci picked up the teacup again, and took another sip of tea: "Who told you to say nice things?"

Xie Jiqing was taken aback: "Father?"

"We Xie family, but we never live by the golden mean." Xie Cilian looked at him with a smile, "Since you have decided to do things for King Yijun, then just do what he wants. If he I don't want to turn against King Shanjun, you can save some face for King Shanjun, but since you don't even care about him, why do you have to protect this window paper?"

"... Duke Keyi didn't turn against Prince Shan." Xie Jiqing said.

"Are you too busy with promotions recently?" Xie Ci pushed a booklet on the case with his fingers, "This is Yu Yin's gift list for Princess Shanjun."

Xie Jiqing frowned, took it over suspiciously, and flipped it over, his expression shocked.

This gift is not thin, but it is obviously not the rule that the Yijun Palace prepares gifts for the concubines on weekdays.Take a closer look, the jewelry and the cloth are even thinner than those usually prepared for the side concubine.

"Several palaces are prepared like this. Isn't this a turn of events?" Xie Ci smiled leisurely, blowing on the hot tea and shaking his head, "Young man, keep your eyes open."

Xie Jiqing: "..."

Dad, I know that you have been bored at home in recent years...

So that night, Shanjun Palace received a reply from Xie's family.

Meng Junhong heard that the person who sent the reply post was just an unfamiliar boy, so he guessed the result.He couldn't help but darken his face, thinking that the Xie family is too rampant, a prince like him who is at the top of the court personally proposes marriage to them, how dare they not agree?

In the end, when he opened the reply, he found that he had underestimated the "wildness" of the Xie family.

The reply is only two words: Don't marry!

The handwriting is still childish.

And the inscription is as childish as the handwriting, and there is a bit of domineering in the three beautiful small characters: Xie Xiyao!
Meng Junhong almost fainted with anger.
