The little lady in the palace

Chapter 127 Love
After Meng Junhuai finished speaking, the two of them stared blankly for a while.Then Yuyin said, "This... we have to ask You Zexu, right?"

Why did the princess fall in love with her somehow?

Meng Junhuai gave a "hmm", thought about it and said: "Let's talk about it later. Now I am hurt, and he is also hurt, and it is not convenient for anyone to walk around."

Yu Yin hurriedly said, "Don't!"

She twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Let's ask first, Princess Duanrou's kindness can't be accepted in such a muddle. After suffering for a long time, it will be difficult to refuse in the future."

There are juniors on both sides, one is her niece called Aunt Six, and the other is a child who has lived with her in the mansion for so many years.Yuyin felt that it would be better if there were no troubles, and tried not to make either side sad.

But what Meng Junhuai said was right, both of them were hurt now, it was difficult for him to ask questions, and it was also difficult for You Zexu to come and answer.

So Yuyin had to take a trip.

Yuyin didn't ask anyone else to talk, and after lunch, she took a break and went to the front house.

At that time, You Zexu had just finished his lunch and was about to sleep in a drowsy state, when he heard that the princess was coming, he woke up in fright.

He put his hands on the couch and wanted to get up to greet him, the injury suddenly hurt so much that his eyes turned white, and he almost passed out.

Yuyin crossed the threshold and saw him clutching the quilt tightly with his hands on the couch, clenching his teeth, sweating all over his head, and hurriedly said: "You just rest, I will ask you something casually."

You Zexu looked at her hesitantly, and Yuyin sat down on the embroidered pier next to the rosewood round table a few feet away. Seeing that he was still standing there and did not dare to relax, she said, "Lie down and rest, you are like me." Can't ask."

You Zexu had no choice but to lie back and looked at her nervously and suspiciously.Yu Yin cleared her throat: "Hey, we just had a little discussion about what you told the prince... I think it's not what the eldest son of the emperor meant."

"That's...?" You Zexu was taken aback.

"This... Ah Zuo was left by the eldest son of the emperor to play in the Qianqing Palace that day, and he came back and mentioned something to us. She said that Princess Duanrou was worried about your injury and asked him several times." She said and looked at him intently, " When did you and Princess Duanrou start to have this kind of affection?"

"Ah?!" You Zexu was so startled that he straightened up again, breaking out in a layer of cold sweat again.He took a deep breath, and looked at her in astonishment, "Princess, don't think too much...I have only met Princess Duanrou once, so there is no 'love'..."

Yu Yin was a little bit amused by his reaction: "I'll just ask, you don't have to be so nervous. Is there any, if you tell the truth, it's not a fault."

For a moment, she was worried that You Zexu was afraid of her relationship with the East Court, so she dared not speak out, but after You Zexu eased the pain, his expression became a little weird.

He was very calm, avoiding her girl as if he was avoiding something, and said in a low voice, "No really. I...I have a girl I like, and I really don't know Princess Duanrou well."

"Is there a girl you like?" Seeing his evasive expression, Yu Yin felt that the girl was either related to her or to the palace, so she continued to ask, "Who is it? Let me tell you. You are also talking about marriage." It's time to get married, if the person in our mansion can decide for himself, I'll go back and discuss it with the prince."

"I..." You Zexu choked for a moment, his eyes seemed to brighten with hope, and then darkened again, "I'm not from the palace. It's... the daughter of a family friend of the You family. The same family said, don't worry about the princess."

Yu Yin frowned slightly, still feeling something was wrong.But she didn't continue to ask, thinking about these things, it's better to let things happen, what she has to do is to tell Meng Junhuai the part about Princess Duanrou, and let him see what to do.

In the room, You Zexu remained silent for a while after the princess left, and then fell back down on the bed dejectedly.

When the concubine asked the question just now, for a moment, he wanted to tell the concubine who the girl was.But when the words came to his lips, he still didn't dare to say them.

He still still remembers that when Zechang committed a crime in the mansion and was driven home, his grandmother complained on Zechang's behalf, and his grandfather said in such a helpless and solemn tone: That's the Xie family!
He is more aware of what kind of attitude the whole family has towards Xie's two daughters, as well as him and You Zeming during these years in the mansion.

——They are the real "cousin ladies" in the mansion, and they call the prince uncle, and the treatment they receive is only one princess less than He Jing and the others; but he and You Zeming are just like ordinary people who were elected into the mansion. Accompanying reading is no different, being called "Biao Gongzi" is actually a half-master and half-servant status in the East Courtyard.

The people of the Xie family couldn't climb high at all.If he told the princess...he couldn't even imagine how the princess would react.

Maybe they will be angry at his wishful thinking, or maybe they will laugh at his overreaching.But no matter what it is, she probably won't allow him to continue to follow the master, or let him stay in Jinyiwei.

That was the result that terrified him.

He doesn't want to entrust his entire future on his aunt, or on A Li like his family, he wants to use his own ability to fight.

He also imagined that maybe after he made great achievements, the princess would take the initiative to draw the red line for him?

In the main courtyard, Meng Junhuai was reclining on the couch while slowly reading poems to Xiao Mingjing, while glancing at Xie Yuyin who was sitting by the couch from time to time.

After she came back from the former house, she obviously brought a strange excitement.After he finished speaking formally, he asked her once, and she said to him with bright eyes: "I think... You Zexu probably has a crush on a girl from my main courtyard!"

Then she thought about it with such a strange smile on her face, and asked Shan Shan to bring over the roster of the main courtyard, and circled and drew with a brush, her "screening" appearance was as serious as their Jinyiwei's expression when they were doing business .

How long has it been?Is it two quarters?
Meng Junhuai couldn't bear to read it anymore, put down the book in his hand, raised his foot and kicked her: "Hey."

"Huh?" Yu Yin turned his head, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Master, have you been having too much fun lately? Are you not afraid that the Buddha will laugh at you if you 'study' into the minds of other people's children?"

The more he thought about it, the more amusing he became.I think back when she first got married...it was called "six roots clean"!He stayed here with her, and she felt uncomfortable covering her with a quilt.He explained that because there was only one quilt on the couch, she naturally wanted to get another one for her!She has no awareness of being married as a wife at all!

Look now... Tsk tsk!People are thinking about other people's marriage.

He said seriously: "If you have nothing to do, I'll help you find some... Heck, children can't read the scriptures? The people in the Hanlin Academy can also write such books. They are absolutely eclectic and can be accompanied by pictures! Let's take a look together ?”

Yu Yin: "..."

Who said to watch that! ! !
With a sullen face, she patted the booklet in her hand on his lap, and Ming Jing, who was leaning against his arms, smiled hehehehe.

"Don't laugh!" He slapped Ming Jing with a fierce face, Ming Jing looked at him, and generously took out her sucking finger to "share" with him, he tilted his head to avoid it, and was wiped with saliva.

"..." Meng Junhuai continued to talk to Yuyin while wiping his face, "Don't worry about it, if he is willing to say it, he will naturally say it. Now he refuses to say it and you want to know... why don't you let the side concubine ask .”

"Come on, I don't have any opinion on him, but Concubine You is afraid that he is really not pleasing to the eye." Yu Yin took a breath, and put the booklet down, "Forget it, if you don't read it, you won't read it. Let me talk about it first, Duanrou What about the princess?"

"This matter..." Meng Junhuai mused, shaking his head, "If it was not arranged by Princess Duanrou, it would be embarrassing for us to tell her directly; if it is, it will hurt her heart if we tell her."

"Then..." Yu Yin looked at him.

Meng Junhuai thought for a moment, then sighed: "Let me deliver a letter to the eldest son of the emperor, after all, the medicine was delivered in his name."

After the letter was handed over, there was no reply at all.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.Meng Junhuai rested for a few more days after recovering from his injuries, and left Beijing again after celebrating Ming Jing's first birthday, when Yu Yin suddenly heard that Princess Duanrou was coming to visit.

She was a little dazed when she accepted the post, and asked Nanny Rui with a frown: "What did the princess say?"

"Princess, I want to congratulate Lord Yi'an on her full moon and conferment." Nanny Rui replied.

This is an obvious excuse.The brochure for Ming Jing was handed in shortly after she was born, and it is only now, and it happened to be a double happiness with her birthday, and there have been many people who have come to congratulate her recently.

Yuyin couldn't refuse, and replied that she would wait for her anytime, and several cousins ​​would be waiting for her in the mansion.

The next morning, Princess Duanrou came.

After she entered the mansion, she first came to greet Yu Yin, and then talked with He Jing and Lan Jing for a while, during which Yu Yin was always curious to see if she would ask You Zexu?After lunch, she can count on mentioning it!

Meng Yujing smiled shyly, looked at the cousins ​​playing in the courtyard, and led Yuyin who was sitting in the main room to the west room to invite: "Auntie, let me say a few words to you, let's go in!"

"Hey, why don't you just say no right here?" Yuyin teased her intentionally, and Meng Yujing lowered her head: "You've been looking at me for a long time, you know what I want to say..."

Yuyin held her smile and went into the room with her according to her words. Yujing half-pleased and half-pressed her to sit on the edge of Luohan's bed. As soon as she sat down firmly, Yujing asked, "Auntie, brother said that Jin Yiwei is here?" Your family is recuperating...is he still in the house?"

"That brocade guard"?
Yuyin was a little surprised by this title: "You don't even know what his name is?"

Yu Jing shook her head: "I've only met him twice. Last time, you know, I didn't come out even in Qianqing Palace; before that, he went to search my house. I was a little angry at the time, and I didn't think about it. ask."

You are too interesting.

Yu Yin smiled and held back, and said slowly: "His name is You Zexu, he is the nephew of our concubine's side concubine. He is still here now, but you..." She thought about it and asked Yu Jing, "The eldest son of the emperor?" Didn't tell you?"

"My brother said that he doesn't like me." Yu Jing said.

Yu Yin hurriedly said: "It's not that he doesn't like it...he just said that he has no relationship with you."

"Yes, that's what I mean too... Anyway, it's almost the same, but I just don't like it." Yu Jing sat next to her and said with a sullen head, "It's normal, we only talked a few words. But I...Auntie, I like him already, can I see him again?"

Yu Jing's eyes were shining, full of anticipation.Yu Yin has seen this kind of expectation before, and it always looks like this when He Jing hasn't seen Xie Sheng for a long time.

but……

She hesitated for a while, she couldn't bring up You Zexu because she had other people's affairs on her mind, so she just said to Yu Jing: "He is suffering from injuries, you are a girl who is about to get married, it is inconvenient for you to go in and visit."

"Then I'll take a look at the door." Yu Jing said immediately.After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and sighed, "Auntie, you don't know that my father chose eight consorts for me. I don't like it. Because my father said that the harmony between husband and wife is the most important thing. You have to be like him and the queen mother, you and the sixth uncle, the twelfth uncle and the twelfth aunt, I don't think they can do it..."

Yu Yin was a little puzzled: "Then you think You Zexu can do it?"

"Well, I just think that he is similar to the husband I imagined! Although I only talked to him once, I just feel..." Yu Jing raised her eyes and met her gaze, and her cheeks turned red all of a sudden up.

Then she said it was unreasonable again, and tugged on Yuyin's sleeve, looking like a little girl coquettishly: "Aunt Six, you can do it! I'll just take a look and talk to him outside the door, okay? Okay? Just let me go!"
