Chapter 96
The next day, the Xie family returned to a different kind of tranquility after being busy.

When Yu Yin took Shan Shan's hand and got out of the carriage, she raised her eyes and saw a group of women in front of the mansion with serious expressions, and everyone was dressed neatly. She was startled, and then she understood what was going on.

She said that there was something urgent and she wanted to see all the wives in the family, which was different from her usual visiting relatives.She can be more casual in visiting relatives on weekdays, and she can also treat the elders at home, but now, everyone puts business affairs first, and it is not the time to talk about private seniority.

There is a clear distinction between public and private, and the Xie family's family style has always been like this.Although Yuyin felt a little guilty for causing such a big fight with one sentence, she calmed down after a long time.

She stepped into the gate, and all the wives followed her in.

"Princess." The eldest aunt Fang took two steps closer and whispered next to her, "All the wives in the family are here, and those who are married and have the status of wives are all invited back. It's just that you are in a hurry. Those who are no longer in Beijing have nothing to do. If they need to come, I will send a message later."

Yu Yin nodded: "No, that's enough."

Everyone entered the main room in a mighty manner and took their seats, even Yuyin was a little surprised at the prosperity of his family.

She is not familiar with or even knows many people present here, and everyone put aside their seniority, and only sits according to the order of their wives. have to.

"The two are..." She frowned, and her mother Qiu stepped forward and introduced: "The one on the left is probably your cousin. Princess of the county."

"So they all entered the clan's palace? Should have walked around more." Yu Yin said with a smirk, and when she saw Princess Yan got up to salute, she returned the salute.

Princess Yanjun hurriedly said: "I dare not be."

In fact, strictly speaking, Princess Yanjun and her Princess Yijun are not in an equal relationship.

King Yijun is the son of today's emperor, not to mention his future future, at least he is currently the most popular clan in Beijing.And this King Yan is a collateral lineage of the royal family, and the seat of the king of the county has been able to continue because of the hereditary title of the dynasty.

Therefore, apart from the same title, there is nothing comparable between the two prefectures in Beijing.If not, the princess of this county would not be able to do it for the daughter of the collateral line of the Xie family.

The two sat back, and Qiu introduced the person on the right: "This...is the current Mrs. Jing Guogong."

Yu Yin was stunned, and felt that her mother seemed to have hidden something that was inconvenient to say directly. She looked at Mrs. Jing Guogong, but when Mrs. Jing Guogong was blessed, she said openly: "The concubine is originally a married woman. Marquis Lu'an, but after less than a year of marriage, Marquis Lu'an died of a sudden illness, and the newly appointed Lord Jingguo came to ask for a marriage, and the family promised the concubine to Duke Jing."

She said it lightly, nodded and smiled: "I have seen the princess of Yijun, and the princess is blessed."

After Yuyin listened to her words, she suddenly gained two points of trust in her own ability.

She put on a serious face and said in a clear voice: "The weather is still cold to come here, thank you all for your hard work, but what I want to talk about today is a big event."

She paused and took a deep breath: "The sage is seriously ill and the treacherous eunuch is in power, you must have heard about it. Your highnesses go to the palace every day to see you, but Wei Yulin makes it difficult to see the holy face, let alone stop him Wei Yulin talked nonsense in front of Shengjia. Among them, there is Prince Jin, who is well-known and famous, and my husband, King Yijun."

Yuyin lowered her eyes as she spoke, with a hint of loneliness looming in her eyes: "The children and I haven't seen him for many days. He is afraid that I will worry, so he refuses to talk to me, and he is even more afraid of hurting innocent people who have never moved." I have thought about asking for help from the Xie family. But to me, the Xie family has been loyal for generations and has never been a person who lives in vain, so I am here to share with you today. I just want to know that the current court is black and white, and I am Xie family. Do you care or not?"

After saying that, there was a sudden silence in the room.

Yuyin looked at her aunt Fang, and Fang took a breath: "We understand what the princess means, but the Xie family has retired from the court for more than 20 years. Although there are still young and strong officials, it is no longer the same as in the past. At that time. It is easy for the princess to let the Xie family intervene, but it is hard to say how effective it will be."

"What Auntie said is true." Yu Yin moved his eyes slightly, taking a panoramic view of everyone in the room, "In recent years, the real power in the family has decreased, but my Xie family stomped their feet in these four or nine cities, and the palace still had to Follow along and tremble!"

"Yuyin..." Mrs. Qiu hurriedly wanted to stop her words, but Yuyin continued in one breath: "Am I wrong, mother? How many Xie family successors, marquises, and uncles combined? How much? The daughter of the Xie family said that when she reached the age of marriage, several nobles from the clan would ask to marry her; Everyone here knows all this, so why bother to deceive yourself and others to talk about retreating from the court? Today, the chaos in the world is only a short period of time, but when we find an excuse and can stand by and watch?"

There was another moment of silence in the main room, and after a while, Mrs. Jing Guogong said lightly: "I think what Wangfei said is right."

Yu Yin nodded to her, and Fang's beside her gave a long sigh: "What the princess said is right."

Yu Yin looked over, Fang's face turned straight, and he looked at everyone: "If none of you object, after I discuss with the Patriarch, we will follow the princess's wishes."

There was a moment of silence again, and everyone cheered together: "I would like to follow the order of the princess."

Yuyin felt ecstasy in her heart, her face was calm as usual: "Thank you."

Two days later.

The outside of Qianqing Palace was crowded with people as before, but it was abnormally quiet.Meng Junhuai was silent in this kind of silence, feeling more and more anxious about this kind of silence.

He couldn't count how many days he had been waiting here in vain, and not once could he enter the palace to see his father.However, it doesn't matter if he can't see him, saying that Potian is leaving a flaw in the word filial piety, the important thing is that the eldest brother Huang can't see him either.

Thinking about it, Meng Junhuai looked sideways at Prince Jin under the eaves, and finally stepped forward: "Brother..."

"Sixth brother." Prince Jin frowned, as if he knew what he wanted to say, and patted his shoulder, "It's okay, just wait at ease. Winning or losing... doesn't depend on that."

Meng Junhuai sighed silently.

He also knew that victory or defeat did not lie in this, but such an obvious weakness really made people feel uneasy.

"Brother!" Hearing a call not far away, the two of them looked over together, and the king of Liangjun, who was in the seventh row, pointed to the southwest and said, "Look over there, brother!"

While the two looked at the past together, the prince next to him also followed the sound.

Everyone saw dozens of people coming here from Yuehuamen, all of them were dressed in buns and neatly dressed, they looked like married women.

At first, Prince Jin didn't think much about it, he just thought that his acquaintance married woman came to see him, so he ordered: "Let's avoid it for a while, it's not good to meet the married woman."

Liangjun Wang took a closer look, but said again: "Hey Brother Six...is that Sister-in-law Six?"

Meng Junhuai shuddered, and hurriedly looked closely.

Isn't his princess walking in the front?Taking a closer look, he has seen some of the people behind him, and they are all the wives of Xie's family.

The maidservants beside them were also carrying things like food boxes.

Where does this come from...

Meng Junhuai collected himself and said to Prince Jin: "You and your brothers go to the side hall to take shelter first? I'll go and ask what's going on."

Prince Jin nodded and said "OK", and everyone else went into the side hall first.

He walked forward, and when there were still a few steps away, Yuyin stopped, and Yifu said, "Your Highness."

Meng Junhuai quickly walked a few steps to help her, and asked softly, "What's going on?"

Yuyin lowered her eyes and said: "Your Majesty has been ill for a long time, and I heard that the empress is not well recently, so we Xie's family and all the female relatives came to have a look." She said, looking at the food box in Shan Shan's hand, "I heard that Your Highnesses have been waiting all day in the palace, and there is nothing to eat, so they brought some food along the way."

"..." No matter how tactfully she said it, Meng Junhuai could tell that she was trying to challenge Dongchang.

He called Yang Enlu and told him to bring someone to help deliver the things inside, and he held Yuyin's wrist: "Take a step to talk."

The two of them stopped until they were under the shadow of the west wall. Meng Junhuai turned around and was about to tell her not to do such a dangerous thing, but when he fixed his eyes, he saw her eyes were red.

"Yu Yin?" He was slightly startled, holding her face and wiping her tears while asking, "What's wrong? Dongchang is angry with the mansion? Or are you looking for trouble for Xie's family?"

"No..." Yuyin wiped away her tears herself, her eyes and nose were red, and she looked up at him, "You've lost weight!"

It's only been more than 20 days, and he has lost weight obviously, and she feels very uncomfortable seeing it!
After Meng Junhuai stared at her blankly for a while, he sneered and laughed: "Don't cry." Relying on the fact that he was in the shadows, he ignored the outsiders not far away, leaned over and kissed her on the face, and his mouth was salty. "After a while, I'll eat more, it's up to you to feed me, and you feed me back."

"Yeah!" Yu Yin nodded seriously, held back her tears and said again, "I'll ask them to prepare all the chicken, duck and fish when I go back, and you should make up for it."

In the bedroom on the second floor of Qianqing Palace, the sound of the little eunuch's hurried footsteps broke the silence.

"Nine, nine, nine thousand..." Wei Yulin hurriedly turned around and covered his mouth, pressing the word "year" back.

He shouted in a low voice: "You don't want to die!"

"...Eunuch Wei!" The little eunuch woke up like a dream, wiped off his cold sweat, and took a few breaths, "Something has happened!"

"What a big deal! You speak slowly!" Wei Yulin glanced at the bed curtain while talking, and the little eunuch hurriedly lowered his voice: "Xie, the wives of Xie's family are here, there are dozens of them up and down. He said he was here for an audience, and even brought food for His Royal Highnesses!"

"What are you panicking about? Tell them to go back!" Wei Yulin sneered, and just as he finished speaking, a sleepy voice came from the bed curtain: "Wei Yulin..."

"Hey, Your Majesty!" Wei Yulin hurriedly put on a smiling face and went to obey orders. The Emperor calmed down: "What did he say? Thank you family for coming?"

"Yes..." Wei Yulin panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down, "It's the wives of the Xie family who said they came to see the empress, and they dare not disturb the emperor."

"Oh...cough." The emperor coughed, with the weakness of illness in the coughing sound.He took another breath and said, "I haven't seen Xie's family for a while, please invite the wife in charge of their family to come in and meet."

In an instant, Wei Yulin was in cold sweat.

The emperor didn't realize it, so he thought about it for a while, and said: "Is Lao Ba's concubine also the daughter of the Xie family?"

"Ah..." Wei Yulin calmed down, and said truthfully, "It's the concubine of Prince Yijun, the daughter of the Xie family."

"Oh, yes. It's the concubine of the sixth son." The emperor took a deep breath, "I'll ask you to come in and see me some other day. It just so happens that the fifteenth son is old enough to get married, so I'll also ask Xie's family if there is any girl of the right age." .”

After speaking, there was no reply.

"Wei Yulin?" The emperor called out, and Wei Yulin came back to his senses: "Yes...Then send someone to Xie's house to ask a question."

He wanted to bypass this topic, but the emperor said again: "Just ask Mrs. Xie to come up, I will just ask."
