The little lady in the palace

Chapter 161
"Yu Yin." Meng Junhuai frowned and stared at her, while Yu Yin pursed her lips to avoid his gaze.

The study was silent for a long time, Yu Yin looked at the ground, Meng Junhuai looked at her, and the eldest son of the emperor looked at Meng Junhuai.

He finally had to let go, nodded, and signaled Yang Enlu to go.

So that day, the eldest son of the emperor really left after seeing Qian Wu's head.The head was brought back in a pottery urn, and the eldest son of the emperor not only lifted the lid to read it without fear, but also took it back to the palace after reading it.

This matter ended like this, even if it was Yu Yin who said she agreed, she was not happy.

At that time, both of them were in a gloomy mood, and she returned to the main courtyard without saying any more, while Meng Junhuai stayed in the study silently to rest his mind, as if a dark cloud had gathered over the entire palace.

But in the next few days, Yuyin didn't see Meng Junhuai, which was quite abnormal.

She couldn't help but began to wonder if he was angry with her?Think she is too cruel?

She was not sure for a while, afraid of disturbing his business, she didn't rush to ask, after thinking about it, she asked Zhao Chengrui to inquire with the eunuch in the former house, and the wording of the inquiry was also very tactful, she only asked how he was doing in the past few days.

But when this word reached Yang Enlu's ears, Yang Enlu understood after a little thought: Does the princess think that the prince is making trouble with her?

But did the prince have an awkward relationship with her...he couldn't tell.

Counting, the princess has been in the mansion for almost ten years, except for the initial period when the two did not fight each other, it seems that the current situation has never happened.

It can be said that from the day they got along in harmony, they lived like glue!
Seems like a problem?But what if he got it wrong?He didn't want to bear the charge of talking nonsense.

Yang Enlu thought about it, and made two circles of a pair of walnuts in his hands, and then told the eunuch who came to pass the message: "You just go back there, don't mention anything else, just say that the prince has been in the study these days, not taking a step." Li, I never went to Jinyiwei and never entered the palace."

"Hey, yes, don't worry." The apprentice under him bowed his body to pass on the message, and the message was easy to pass on, as long as he repeated it verbatim in the main courtyard.

In the bedroom, after hearing Zhao Chengrui's retelling, Yu Yin frowned, "You really didn't go anywhere?"

Zhao Chengrui bowed and said: "Yes, it is the people in front of the prince who are talking back and forth, there will be no fakes."

That means he's busy with nothing else.In the past many days, if he didn't come to the main courtyard for a long time, there must be some urgent business that kept him busy, and even if he was bored in the study room most of the time, he must always run away Jin Yiwei may enter the palace to report.It is impossible for him to handle his errands alone.

Thinking so, is he really angry with her?
Yuyin feels a little wronged, feeling that she did nothing wrong that day.What the eldest son of the emperor said was well-founded, and he couldn't be ruthless because he cared about chaos.

She didn't want to make amends at all for a while, but she sat on the couch and was bored for a while, then went out again.

She doesn't have to apologize to him, but... Husband and wife!It's too bad to be sulking at each other all the time, someone has to speak first.

The eldest son of the emperor is his own nephew, so it is inevitable for him to feel sad, so should she speak first?

When passing Hejing Mingjing's wing room, she paused, hesitating whether to open which door to ask someone to come out to accompany her?But after thinking about it, I think it's okay-what if they feel unhappy for a while and have a big fight?It's better not to do it in front of the children.

Thinking of this, Yuyin unexpectedly found that she was a little scared.

Probably because she has been in harmony for too long, she is extremely uncomfortable with the current situation, and she is obviously at a loss because of the incompatibility.

She couldn't imagine what to do next if she got stuck because of this matter, the more she couldn't imagine, the more troubled she was thinking about it.On the way to the study, she almost cried herself!

Outside the study room, several eunuchs who were supposed to come to serve were poked outside at this moment.There is nothing to do, and it is inevitable to say a few gossips in a low voice.

A few people discussed what is going on with the prince and concubine now?Just as they were chatting happily, the sharp-eyed ones winked: "Stop talking!"

They looked around, and when they saw the one coming from afar, they all subconsciously stiffened their necks.

You can't talk about people during the day, and you can't talk about ghosts at night...

Because the prince was in a bad mood, they couldn't figure out whether the princess was in a good mood or not, so the oldest one smiled and went over and said carefully: "The princess is well."

Fortunately, although the concubine's complexion was not good, her tone was still gentle: "Well, is it convenient for me to come and see the lord?"

The eunuch thought quickly in his heart.

The prince blasted them all out, but he didn't say he didn't see anyone.To put it bluntly, the concubine is also the first-class master in the mansion, so they can't let them stop her without authorization; to put it a little more selfishly...they don't want to be splinted because of the matter between the prince and concubine!
If the prince really hates the concubine, let him get angry with the concubine!

The eunuch thought it through clearly, Dang even smiled and invited Yuyin to go.Before Yu Yin stepped over the threshold, Yang Enlu, who was serving at the desk, turned pale: Why did the princess come in? !
He was really afraid that the two would quarrel.To be honest, the life in their mansion these years is much more peaceful than other mansions, which is inseparable from the good relationship between the prince and princess.They get along well, no matter how noisy the concubine's room below is, there will be no big splashes, but if the prince and the concubine fall out, the back house will be chaotic overnight.

Yang Enlu's heart was in his throat, and he couldn't help but wink at Yuyin, trying to persuade her to go out temporarily.But Yu Yin didn't pay attention, her eyes were all on Meng Junhuai's face.

"...Jun Huai?" She called out hesitantly, looking at Meng Jun Huai, who was stunned by the book, for a moment.

He raised his head, only to find that she was only three or two steps away from the desk.

"What's wrong?" He was still a little stunned, Yu Yin hesitated for a while: "Jun Huai... don't be angry."

what?
She continued to explain: "The eldest son of the emperor is really right. I know you feel sorry for him, but you have given Qian Wuyong a lot of punishments these days. Putting the knife on his neck was considered the last questioning, but he still didn't say anything, obviously he didn't intend to say anything after biting him to death!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw him stand up from the corner of her eye.

Yuyin was a little flustered, subconsciously took half a step back: "If you are really upset about this..."

She wanted to say, if you are really upset about this, I still think this is the right thing to do.

But he took a step forward and said, "I'm not unhappy."

what?
Yu Yin raised her eyes, Meng Junhuai supported her shoulders with both hands, and smiled a little helplessly: "I just... really feel sorry for the eldest son of the emperor, and want to take it easy. This may be the best chance to save him, but..."

He shook his head: "Forget it, let's not talk about it."

His eyes were full of sadness, Yu Yin paused for a while, and put his arms around him: "If you want to be more open, sometimes people have their own lives... There is no way."

But he obviously really didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he said again, "Have you been overthinking these past few days? Don't take it seriously."

"It's all a small matter..." Yu Yin relaxed, and was about to comfort him a few more words, but was choked by his movement of pulling her into his arms.

At first, she thought he was trying to coax her, but after a while she heard him let out a heavy breath, which seemed to reassure him.

— somehow, this feeling made her happier than if he actually coaxed her.She had always enjoyed this feeling, the feeling that he needed her, or that she needed him.

A few feet away, Yang Enlu's eyes stared straight.

all right?

They have been thinking about it for several days in fear and confusion. Is it okay to co-author?

Hug it now?

Then why are they so nervous?

Flicking to August, when You Zexu and Xizhen were preparing for their wedding, Duke Qi returned to Beijing.

To be precise, he was escorted back to Beijing.

More than two years ago, he went to the south for disaster relief, and now the disaster relief work has been completed, logically speaking, he has done a good job.Being escorted back like this naturally aroused a lot of discussion.

At first, everyone didn't even know what crime he was charged with, but later a charge was spread, which vaguely said that he was accepting bribes in the local area.

Of course, some rumors still came out.Many people are saying that in fact, he colluded with a few powerful eunuchs while he was on business in the south.It's just that the fact that the emperor's own brother colluded with the eunuch is too embarrassing and detrimental to Tianwei, so he found another explanation.

But it doesn't matter what the folks say, after all, even when it's calm, the folks like to spread some anecdotes about the royal family.

What Yu Yin cares about is the increasingly tense relationship among the clan and nobles.

"You Zexu is in charge of this job. After you get married, don't meddle in it. It's not good for you." Yuyin squatted beside a big vermilion lacquer box, helping Xizhen check the quality of all the jewels in the dowry with her own hands. While exhorting her.

Xizhen, who was tidying up the book case for Yuyin, nodded: "I know, don't worry about it. I may not have time to worry about it at that time, and suddenly I have to take care of the house... I guess I have a lot to learn."

Yuyin smiled and advised her not to worry too much.Suddenly remembered that there was something left for her, so she opened the cabinet and found it: "He Jing made this for you, and Ming Jing also helped. Lan Jing also mentioned something to give you that day, so I guess it's not good yet. .”

It was a handkerchief embroidered with the pattern of mandarin ducks. Naturally, it was to wish her a happy life after marriage.

Xizhen happily took it, and told Yuyin that Lanjing also gave it to her. It was a purse, which she said was beautifully embroidered.

"I see that Lan Jing's temperament has improved recently!" Xi Zhen laughed, "She said that the material for the purse was picked by accident in cloth village when she went out to relax. She didn't go out of the house often, and she didn't love herself shopping."

"Really?" Yuyin was a little surprised by this, and immediately smiled, "That's good. Your uncle and I are worried that she will bore us to death. It would be much better if she let go. You find a suitable opportunity to tell her , tell her you like the things she picked, encourage her to go out more, if the money is not enough, take it from me."

After Yu Yin explained this, she felt a little bit guilty in her heart. She didn't quite understand how Lan Jing could let go all of a sudden.
She has been working hard for the past few years, but Lan Jing is in front of her... Where is she going?
