The little lady in the palace

Chapter 98
At the beginning of April, the marriage of the fifteen sons of the emperor was settled, and the concubine was Yuyin's cousin Yuluo.The Ministry of Rites will choose an auspicious day for the two to get married, and the capital city is a little bustling for this.

After discussing with Meng Junhuai, Yuyin also summoned the husband whom He Jing had chosen to meet.The one chosen was Yuyin's nephew named Xie Sheng, who was thirteen years old this year, and Dahejing was four years old.Yuyin didn't know him well, but Xi Yao said that she liked this cousin very much, and told Yuyin that her brother had worked hard in his studies!

Yuyin then told Meng Junhuai Xi Yao's words, and Meng Junhuai was not worried at all after hearing it: "It goes without saying, which one of the children you taught Xie is not good?"

Of course Yuyin liked to hear this, so she brought Azuo and Ayou over and said to them: "Your cousin may have to live in the mansion for a few days, he is very good at reading, you should learn from him! "

The two brothers immediately grieved.

Ah You still kept his mouth shut and hid behind his brother, with an aggrieved expression on his face.

They all just started to read and write more than a month ago, these two are not the same as Hejing Ali back then, making them study is like putting them to death.

Both of them are still young, and they cry when they are unhappy, and they have cried several times in the past month.Every time, Yuyin and Meng Junhuai had to coerce and lure them together to get them under control.

Yu Yin was quite dissatisfied with this, but Meng Junhuai was quite open to it. He told her, "Don't worry about it. This is just under three years old. There are too few who can study obediently. Ah Li didn't like it too much at the time. After a few days It’s fine if you’re sensible, now let them practice handwriting is just to find a feel.”

In fact, Yu Yin also understood this truth, so she never got angry with her two sons because of this.But when Xie Sheng entered the mansion a few days later, she found that these two little guys refused to see him anymore!

"Hey, you two little things, do you still hold grudges?" She looked at the two sons who were sitting sullenly and refused to get up, and laughed angrily. After you, are you still in good spirits?"

"Hmph!" Ah You turned his head away to show his dissatisfaction, Ah Zuo pouted and said, "I don't like my cousin!"

Yu Yin frowned: "Just because of my mother and concubine, I said that my cousin reads well? This is not right. It is a good thing to study hard."

"No!" A Zuo frowned, "Eldest sister likes cousin, elder sister speaks of us for cousin!"

Yu Yin: "...?!"

This is strange, He Jing and Xie Cheng haven't met each other yet, are you talking about the younger brothers for the future husband's family?

She hurriedly called He Jing over to ask, He Jing was thinking about seeing her "future husband", she was blind in the room and was embarrassed, but when Ning Zhi came to ask her to go to the main room, she dawdled for a long time before going there.

Yu Yin asked her what was going on?Why did you say brothers for Xie Sheng?

He Jing's face turned even redder all of a sudden: "That's not the case!"

She glared at Azuo and Ayou fiercely, and explained to Yuyin: "The two of them said the other day that they would bully him when he came, but I told them no, he is a guest, so he can't bully guests! And it's the mother concubine." Let them study hard with him, let alone bully him!"

He Jing's eyes widened and he spoke very seriously, Yu Yin heard it, is this the case?

Then He Jing did the right thing, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the two brothers: "How can you think of bullying my cousin?"

"We don't like him!" Ayou put his hands on his hips domineeringly, "I heard that my sister is going to marry him, and marrying him means that she can no longer live in my own house. I don't like him!"

Yu Yin: "..."

She really didn't know how to explain it.

Therefore, Yuyin did not bring the two sons who were "very hostile to her sister's fiancé" to see Xie Sheng for the time being, and took He Jing's hand to the front house by herself.He Jing was inevitably a little curious about this person, and asked this and that along the way, and then Yuyin found that He Jing was still very shy.

She was embarrassed to call him cousin, and she was also embarrassed to say that name, but when she mentioned Xie Sheng, she always referred to him as "he", which sounded weird.

If He Jing called Xie Cheng "you" after meeting, sometimes it would sound impolite, Yu Yin thought about it, and then said to her: "He Jing, you can call him Mr. Xie, okay? ?”

He Jing's eyes lit up immediately: "Good!"

When the two arrived at Meng Junhuai's study, Yang Enlu stepped forward and reported that the prince was asking Mr. Xie about his homework.

Ask homework when you meet...

Yu Yin said "Got it", and made a gesture of silence to He Jing, and the mother and daughter tiptoed to the door tacitly.

Yu Yin listened attentively, and it turned out that she was asking about homework, and when she probed again, Xie Sheng was visibly nervous, and the hand hanging by her side was clenched tightly.

Meng Junhuai had already read a lot of books, so it would be a piece of cake to ask a child of his age.She listened to a few questions, but none of them were easy, but Xie Sheng answered them fluently.

In the end, he asked another question, picking a passage from "Han Shu Biography of Foreign Relatives", and Xie Sheng obviously got stuck.

The room was silent for a while, and Yu Yin heard Xie Sheng say: "This... sir has just arranged it, and I haven't finished reading it yet, so I dare not take it out of context and interpret it randomly."

Then there was silence in the room.

Yu Yin faintly heard Meng Junhuai's pacing, Xie Sheng obviously became more nervous: "Your Highness..."

She clicked her lips secretly, thinking in her heart that if he was dissatisfied with Xie Cheng because of this, it would be a bit mean.Just as he was thinking about whether to go in and smooth things over, he heard the voice in the room: "If you don't understand, just say you don't understand, that's fine. You're only thirteen, so it's not shameful to be questioned. There is no limit to learning, and there is no shame in being questioned tomorrow. "

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xie Sheng's voice was obviously relaxed, and Meng Junhuai patted him on the shoulder: "Go see your aunt."

The two of them went out the door after talking, and when they stepped over the threshold, Meng Junhuai saw a small figure hiding behind another figure beside him.

He took a closer look and laughed out loud: "He Jing."

He Jing hid behind Yuyin and didn't want to come out. Yuyin patted her and reprimanded her lightly: "There are no rules, who taught my younger brother that Mr. Xie is a guest? Are you treating guests like this?"

In this room, Xie Sheng bowed upright to Yuyin: "Auntie is well."

Yu Yin nodded and said "Okay" with a smile, then turned her head and said to He Jing: "If you do this again, the concubine mother will not be happy."

"..." He Jingxiu frowned, struggled for a long time, but secretly looked up at Xie Sheng.

With a fixed gaze, she met Xie Sheng's smiling eyes.

"Princess." Xie Sheng smiled kindly, and did not bow to He Jing seriously just because he was crowned the throne.Yuyin and Meng Junhuai exchanged looks, both of them thought it was best.

They naturally want to choose someone who can protect her as her husband for He Jing, but they don't want this person to be in awe of her too much because of He Jing's identity.

It is better for husband and wife to live in a close relationship, if they are too in awe, they will not be close.

Besides, Xie Sheng is only 13 years old, if he is full of superiority and inferiority right now...they will have to think about whether this marriage is feasible or not.

On this day, several of them stayed together in Meng Junhuai's study all day.We ate together at noon, let the two children practice together for a while in the afternoon, and then let them play together.

After all, He Jing was still young, so she threw the previous embarrassment out of the sky when she was playing.

Meng Junhuai and Yu Yin listened to the laughter in the yard in the house, and felt that they were getting along well at the moment.When the sun was setting, he ordered his servants to take Xie Sheng to the pre-arranged residence to rest, and He Jing was still a little bit reluctant.

So Yuyin saw He Jing waved to Xie Sheng and said, "See you tomorrow brother Ah Cheng!"

Xie Sheng smiled brightly: "I will practice calligraphy with you tomorrow, and I will cut the paper for you first."

"..." When Xie Sheng left, she couldn't help asking He Jing, "What did you call him just now?"

He Jing felt embarrassed again, stuck out her tongue, and looked at her with a blushing face: "He asked me to call him that..."

That night, the couple naturally took this as a joke, and Yu Yin couldn't stop laughing as she lay on the pillow thinking about it: "These two get along pretty sweet! Hey, it's the first time I heard He Jing call someone else's brother like that... ..."

Seeing that she thought she was happier than He Jing, Meng Junhuai laughed and scolded her, "Take fun of your daughter's marriage, is there anyone like you who is a mother and concubine?"

"No! You don't know!" Yu Yin thumped the bed, "He Jing was so ashamed before, it's so much fun to compete like this!"

Meng Junhuai was amused by her and laughed out loud, with a stern face: "There is no need to be envious, I am older than you, you can also call me brother."

"..." Yu Yin remained silent for a moment, then looked cheekily at him sideways, and said with a correct accent, "Brother Jun Huai."

"..." His cheeks flushed, and he pulled the quilt to cover his face, "Forget it, it's too numb."

"Hahahahaha!" Yu Yin couldn't stop laughing, and Meng Junhuai sucked in the cold air and surrounded her: "Little nun, you have been very bad recently, so you can see that you have forgotten how to be good! Come here and chant sutras!"

Yu Yin: "..."

After a while, Yuyin's "hahahaha" turned into "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

The servants on duty at night outside the door gave each other a wink and retreated in unison.

At the end of April, before the auspicious date of the fifteenth prince was set, a big event happened in Beijing.

——The emperor executed King Guangxin.

It is said that it was a direct decree from the Qianqing Palace, without any nonsense, they arrested King Guangxin who came to Beijing at the end of last year.The crimes are also clear and clear, leaving the fief without authorization, deceiving the emperor, and being disrespectful, all of them are serious crimes ranging from cutting the nobles to killing.

Yu Yin's first reaction when she heard this was: "So sudden? Is this really the emperor's decree?"

Could it be Wei Yulin again...?
Meng Junhuai pondered for a moment: "Probably yes. Wei Yulin has no reason to attack King Guangxin. This matter...probably because the father wants to show the world that the emperor's majesty is inviolable."

If so, it was Yuyin's words that day that worked.It made the father suspicious and investigated something, or it just irritated him, in short, it made him take action.

"Speaking of which, why did King Guangxin come to Beijing?" Yuyin recalled puzzledly, and said, "When you were in Jiangnan, you said that he really had a different heart, but he has been in Beijing for less than half a year...he didn't do anything. ?”

"He has a different intention, but it's not that big. He just wants to be greedy for petty gains." Meng Junhuai snorted and laughed, "It's not wrong to say that he was wronged, but who made him hit him?"

After he finished speaking, he kept silent, thinking in his heart, in such a matter, there would never be only one or two "injustice".

Power always needs to be made clear, and only when it is made clear will no one take offense, no matter who is in power.

What he has to do is not to let himself, or anyone in the mansion, be the next person to be used to demonstrate power.
