Concubine Mengfei

Chapter 288

After Yu Moying sent someone to settle Yu Moyao, she got into the carriage and went back to the residence. Rong Cheng wandered outside for a while, and when he came back, he found that the person had already left, so he had no choice but to go to the Prince Regent's residence by himself.

The Prince Regent's Mansion smells like autumn leaves.

"My lord, you are back." Seeing Yu Moying's return, the housekeeper ran over hurriedly.

After Yu Moying walked along the deep path and entered the back courtyard, she heard the housekeeper's urgent call.

She stopped and asked him what happened.

At this time, Rong Cheng also rushed in from the door, thinking something happened, he came over to ask Yu Moying if he wanted to help.

In the past few days, because of the busy affairs in the palace, He Lianyu is often not in the mansion, for example, he is not here today.

Therefore, she was in charge of most of the affairs in the mansion. He Lianyu felt that it was too hard for her to be busy alone, so he called Rong Cheng, who had recently returned from the border battlefield, to help her.

Rong Cheng is Helian Yu's imperial aunt, that is, Helian Yuyang's biological sister, the eldest son of Princess Yuhe and General Rongzhi, who is twenty years old.

He followed Rong Yin to the battlefield since he was a child, so he grew up on the battlefield.Regarding the marching formation, he did not stick to one pattern, and led a small number of soldiers and horses deep into the enemy's hinterland many times, breaking the enemy's offense and defense.Therefore, at a young age, he is full of meritorious service.

Recently, he had only returned to the capital because Princess Yuhe was unwell.

"Princess Alina..." The housekeeper looked at Rong Cheng, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face. He didn't know whether he should say such a thing in front of a big man like him.

Hearing that it was Arina's matter, Yu Moying saw his difficulty, and she had a measure in her mind.

"A Cheng, there is a horse in the stable that has been very irritable in recent days. You know horses, so go and have a look for me first." She asked Rong Cheng to avoid it for the time being.

Although Rong Cheng was on the battlefield, he had a lot of life and death experiences.But for this kind of thing, he probably won't be of much help if he stays here.

A lively but harmless little girl like Arina is really tricky to deal with.Moreover, both of them are young and energetic, maybe if they disagree, they will fight.

Rong Cheng walked away unhappily, thinking that he was an imposing major general, but in the Prince Regent's palace, there was no use for him, which really made him feel very bored.

"My lord, Princess Arina went straight into the mansion and threatened that she had no house to live in, and she wanted to live in the mansion forever. She is His Highness's junior sister, and His Highness is not in the mansion, so it is not easy for us to stop her. Now, she is in the back room." Where is the garden?"

After he left, the butler asked Yu Moying about the incident in detail.

"It's just a long stay, it's really not difficult." After listening to Yu Moying, she smiled lightly and said, "If you directly object, I'm afraid you will have nothing to do with her."

The housekeeper's face was slightly embarrassed. They did stop him and tried various methods, but none of them worked.

First of all, Alina has a foundation in martial arts, so if she tries harder, she will be ruthless.The guards in the mansion didn't dare to fight with all their strength like they did to others, otherwise, they might hurt her.It's just that if they don't want to hurt her, they are the only ones who get hurt.

Finding that they could not deal with her by force, they used other poisonous insects to frighten her.But Arina seemed to have seen these animals a lot in the past, and instead of being afraid, she liked them very much.She even skinned a cobra raw in front of them.

Then she took out the pocket knife she carried with her and cut the snake into many pieces, and asked them to make wine, and she drank the wine very happily, while they were not very happy.

"I see, take me there." Yu Moying was always very calm, but the housekeeper was used to it, no matter what the urgent matter was, even if Yu Moying was anxious, she would not show it.

In the bamboo forest in the back garden, Yu Moying could see Alina happily playing in the water from a distance.

"Look, it won't bite. Let me tell you, it can still be used as medicine." Alina's sleeves were all pulled up to her elbows. When the maidservants saw this, they fled three feet away.

Yu Moying observed for a while, then picked up her smile and walked over.

"Princess Alina, they are not used to this kind of scorpion, even if it can be used as medicine, don't scare them."

Alina turned her head and saw her, she curled her lips and said, "It's okay, if they are not used to it today, they will get used to it tomorrow. Anyway, I will slowly let them not be afraid. When I win you, the senior brother will marry me After that, I will slowly adjust."

"There are many things that you think are scourges, but they may all be of great use."

"In the past, I could only see this kind of scorpion in the desert. I didn't expect that I could find one in Beiming country." She said, and brought the scorpion in front of Yu Moying. Scorpions are much bigger than normal scorpions.

It spread its limbs in front of Yu Moying, and even climbed onto the back of Arina's hand.

It didn't take long for Arina to drop it on the ground.

"The girls over there are not as timid as you."

It crawled towards Yu Moying's ankles, stopped beside her embroidered shoes, and raised its head high.

Yu Moying lowered her eyes and saw that the scorpion's mouth was facing her. It seemed that in the next moment, it might jump on her body and bite her.

"Princess really thinks that they are afraid of scorpions, and if they run away when they see a scorpion, that means they are timid?" Yu Moying didn't hesitate, and lifted the scorpion from its back.

Her eyes didn't flicker, and she turned a blind eye to the big scorpion with its teeth and claws, as if what she was holding was just a fake thing, "At most, it can only be said that they are afraid of scorpions, but in other respects, princess, are you also clear about it? "

"Princess may not be aware of the situation in Beiming Kingdom. Then let me tell you about the situation in Lantian and most of the Western Regions."

"On your side, do you think that a woman who has been training horses to deal with bandits since she was young is nothing to worry about? Such a move is brave. Moreover, when they see the man they love, they dare to say what they like in their hearts , so you can see their courage even more?"

Alina became a little quieter, she nodded, expressing her agreement with what Yu Moying said.

Yu Moying then said: "Those are some ways to express bravery. But, princess, have you ever thought that the etiquette is different in different places, and there are different ways to express bravery?"

"This..." Arina hesitated, her eyes turned elsewhere, she didn't think about it that much.However, she was not discouraged. Just now, she did not forget the fear of those maidservants towards scorpions. "Then tell me, why are they not timid?"

"Last time, in the palace, the princess must have seen the city life of Beiming Kingdom. In such a short period of time, the princess has no impression, right?" Yu Moying asked Alina first.

Alina did not forget that the banquet left a deep impression on her.After she left the palace, she often thought of Jiaoniang and those shadow puppet performances.

But she still didn't show any weakness, "What does this have to do with what I said?"

Yu Moying's bright eyes flowed, and it was very easy to say, "The princess should have seen the window grilles, silk umbrellas, lanterns, and the cloth and clothes sold in the Beiming market. And these are all from Beiming. The female hand of the country."

"They sat by the window for many days, listening to the sound of locomotives and rooster crowing, so that they can make these excellent things, and we have the opportunity to buy and use them. At the same time, they will also raise their husbands and children in their own way, the princess You have been in Beiming Country for so many days, what do you think of the men you saw on the street?"

After thinking about it, Alina said: "It's not the same as ours, but it makes me feel very comfortable."

Thinking about these days carefully, on the street, the men she met were generally polite and advocating the friendship of gentlemen.

"Didn't the princess ever think that their mothers are also responsible for raising such children?" Yu Moying said along the way: "If their mothers don't help their fathers to maintain a harmonious family, without them teaching, will there be them today?"

"Let me ask, would a mother who can weave gorgeous cloth and cut exquisite silk umbrellas with skillful hands, and teach her children etiquette, morality and shame by precept and example, be a timid person?"

"If they didn't have enough courage and confidence, how could they persist for so many years? They do exist, but they are not so obvious."

After finishing speaking, Alina was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

"It's not just brave, it's amazing."

After finishing speaking, she didn't come back to her thoughts for a long time.

Yu Moying stared at her for a while, then got up and walked through the forest, "Just now, I heard that the princess has won me, and she is going to marry into the palace. I don't know how the princess will win?"

Arina looked up and saw her figure fading away, and then she remembered her purpose of coming.

"Hey, don't go, we haven't compared yet?"

But, more than anything... Arina racked her brains and thought a lot.She originally wanted to use some things on her side to compare.But she is not someone who wants to win by relying on other people's strengths, and feels that it might be unfair to Yu Moying.

What she wants is to win openly.

"Say it? As long as you and I know how to do it." After a long time, Alina turned to Yu Moying for advice.

Yu Moying hardly thought about it, so she asked, "How is Azalea?"

Azalea?Arina thought about it, and felt that there was no big problem, so she responded casually, "Assassin Pu is Chinese Pu, but if you lose, you have to be willing to let me enter the house."

She also sneaked out of the palace behind her father's and queen's backs before, and has been in various casinos, and she is proficient in almost all kinds of gambling methods.Therefore, compared with Yu Moying, she is quite confident.

"Okay, I'm willing to bet and admit defeat." Yu Moying also readily agreed.

Then, Yu Moying asked the maidservants to bring the five trees with owls carved on them, set up a table in the back garden, and lined up all the small arrows in a long row, ready to gamble.

Hearing that Yu Moying was going to gamble with Alina on Azalea, many people in the mansion came to find out. If they could set up a casino in the palace, only the princess could do it.
