The little lady in the palace

Chapter 7 Sudden
Yu Yinquan didn't expect that he would reach out to grab her suddenly, and after being hugged by him for a few breaths, she realized that she was in his arms.

She was frightened and said anxiously: "Your Highness?!"

Meng Junhuai pulled the quilt over to cover herself and her, and said indifferently, "I won't move you, don't take the quilt anymore."

The implication is to let her sleep like this with peace of mind.

After he finished speaking, he looked down at her, and frowned when she saw that she was silent.In his backyard, no one has ever needed him to coax him like this.But this one who is the most ascetic, he can't do without coaxing, this is his regular wife, he can't be ignored as he likes, and no matter how it doesn't suit him, he has to gradually get acquainted with her.

In the past, the Guo family killed the concubine, if there is another quarrel between husband and wife later, it will become a big joke in his house.

While Meng Junhuai was thinking this way, he was very nervous at the same time - from the first time they met, she made him feel like a jade bodhisattva, which made him feel that it was unforgivable to imagine having sex with her on the wedding night.

And now he is holding this "Jade Bodhisattva" in his arms...

Meng Junhuai yelled in his heart and emphasized to himself, "It's the same when the lights are turned off!!!", so that he could barely keep his feet. After a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.He stroked her back with his hand, said "sleep" and stopped talking, closing his eyes to rest.

Yu Yin, who had been frozen for a moment, regained consciousness with a tickle on her back, her whole body trembled, and her mind made her want to struggle, but her body was so frightened that she couldn't control it.

In the darkness, Yu Yin raised her eyes to look at him tremblingly, and looked hard for a long time before making sure that his eyes were closed.

And the breathing is steady, this is already asleep...?
She slowly and cautiously pulled out her hand again, and put it close to his nose to explore.

Sensing the movement, Meng Junhuai raised his eyebrows: Why do you want to test your breath?To see if he is dead...?
Yu Yin hangs there with her hands in embarrassment.

She wanted to see if he was asleep, but she didn't try it out—the breathing should be more stable when he was asleep than when he was awake. It is more correct to rely on listening!
As for raising your hand to test your breath...

It seems, it seems to be used to see if people are still angry?

Oh, so what was she thinking about after hesitating for a long time just now!
He must have been frightened stupid by him to do this!
Meng Junhuai closed his eyes and heard her clear her throat suddenly, and then felt the hand hanging in front of her move away.The person in his arms moved slightly and pulled the quilt, as if looking for a more comfortable sleeping position.

Xie Yuyin moved an inch away from him, looked up again, listened, and felt that he...should be...sleep, right?
For a moment, Meng Junhuai clearly heard the breathing and breathing around him very smoothly.

He opened his eyes slightly, and tapped her lightly with the hand behind her, but she didn't respond.

Actually fell asleep peacefully...? ? ?
He thought she would have to worry about it until midnight, and she would fall asleep when she was exhausted!

Meng Junhuai looked at her with a complicated expression for a while, and secretly sighed that she was really a clean-minded girl.

Until he got slapped.

Meng Junhuai was terrified all over, and lifted the quilt to look stiffly.Seeing her limp hands resting impartially on...that place.

Xie Yuyin slept very well this time, and woke up refreshed, but she woke up a little earlier.

It's not Yin time yet.

But there was no one beside the pillow.She stretched and sat up, wondering why he got up so early.Called Shan Shan to ask if there is anything going on today, Shan Shan only replied: "His Royal Highness woke up just after the fourth watch and drank half a cup of tea in the room. Someone just came to report something, so he left."

Woke up just after the fourth watch?Is this not sleeping well?
Xie Yuyin thought about it for a while, then put the matter aside, and ordered water to be prepared for washing.The New Year's Eve can be regarded as completely over, and today she has to calm down and copy the scriptures.For the past half month, I did not touch the scriptures with peace of mind because of the Chinese New Year, and my life was too lazy.

There was a dead silence in the study room in the front yard. The eunuchs waiting in the room did not dare to raise their heads. When changing tea and grinding ink, they stepped back in unison. Get out as soon as you finish your job, so as not to get into trouble.

After a while, Meng Junhuai took a deep breath.Look at the wolf hair hanging in the hand to dry again, but it can only be thrown aside in the end.

There was still not a word written on the memorial that was spread out in front of him.

The person who came to report the matter at the time of ugliness was from Prince Jin's mansion.Among the several princes, only this eldest brother is now the prince, and all the brothers naturally look up to him.Meng Junhuai also respected him a lot, but counting, the two of them actually didn't have much contact with each other.

This is the first time to visit late at night.Meng Junhuai was surprised when he heard that someone had come to Prince Jin's residence, and the eldest brother Huang did indeed throw him a big news.

Brother Huang told him that on New Year's Eve, a big fire broke out at the entrance of the alley to the south of Daochao Alley.

Daochao Alley got its name from the fact that the Daochao Department is located there, and the Daochao Department and Baochao Depot are at the entrance of the alley in the south.

What happened on New Year's Eve, Qu Xun calculated that half a month had passed, and during this half month, he went to the palace almost every day, but he didn't hear a single word from any clan courtier.In other words, no one knew about this matter, but Elder Brother Huang knew about it only because his Prince's Mansion was on Huafeng Hutong, which was at a corner from Baochao Hutong.

The person sent by the eldest brother said that the fire was so blazing that night that even the mansion could smell a little smoke.

The person sent by the eldest brother of the emperor also said that such a big fire and burning for such a long time may not be just the fire of the banknote department, but most of the treasure banknotes are also burned.

The banknote department is used to replace old and new banknotes, and the banknote storehouse is used to store banknotes. No one in the court knows such a big fire in these two places.

But the father never mentioned it.

Meng Junhuai propped his forehead and remained silent for a while, looked at the wolf hair that was thrown aside in agitation, then closed the blank notebook that was open in front of him, and threw it aside.

He let out a long sigh and said, "Go to the palace quickly, and ask Mother and Concubine if it's convenient to see people."

Why the fire broke out, I can't find out at all now, he doesn't know what the father means, but since the person who is the Ninth Five-Year Lord doesn't mention it, he just hopes that the people below don't know. As a son, he should help Do this with your father.Therefore, not only can he not publicize this matter with great fanfare, but he also cannot go to the Qianqing Palace and ask his father what the whole story is - if he asks, it is tantamount to saying that his father has concealed the civil and military affairs of the Manchu court about such important matters. .

However, the money dumping department was set up under the household department, and the household department minister was his uncle.

If after a series of concealment, the father wants to take the Ministry of Households to blame, or the person behind wants to use the Ministry of Households to take the blame, his mother clan can't be unprepared.

The eldest brother Huang told him this matter alone, and it should be because of this.

Xie Yuyin had breakfast in the room and copied half a day's scriptures, when she was startled by the voice of a child from the west.

——It was only then that she knew that He Jing was left to sleep in the West Room by Meng Junhuai last night.

She hurried over to check, and opened the door only to see that the nanny had also been called.He Jing was sitting on the narrow couch and yawning. When she saw her coming in, she immediately got off the couch. After struggling for a while on her small face, she finally called out in a low voice: "Concubine Mu..."

"...Well." Xie Yuyin walked over and sat down on the side of the couch, trying her best to feel the feeling of being a mother, and touched Hejing's forehead with a smile, "Did you sleep well? What do you like for breakfast? people do?"

He Jing lowered her head and flattened her mouth, not being disrespectful but also really not affectionate: "I'll use it at Mother Concubine He's place."

Yuyin didn't want to force her either, and just as she was about to nod her head in agreement, she said again: "Concubine Mu, can you send someone to send me back? Tell Concubine He, you and your father are not angry with me anymore."

Her words were suddenly stuck, and after timidly looking at Yuyin, she asked, "You...are you still angry with me?"

When Xie Yu introduced her like this, his heart ached for a while.

It must be that the elders treat her too strictly on weekdays, so she behaves like this.She is only four years old, and she should have forgotten her unhappiness after sleeping, but now she is still "careful". I remember asking her to tell Concubine He that they are not angry with her anymore.

However, everyone in the house said that Concubine He treated this eldest lady very well.Xie Yuyin pondered, perhaps because Concubine He is too soft-tempered, the displeasure of King Yijun would become a very serious matter in her eyes, and if He Jing offends King Yijun, Concubine He would naturally be upset. teach her a lesson?
She didn't ask any more questions, she stood up with a smile, and said to He Jing: "It's just that the concubine wants to go out for a walk, so let's take you back by the way."

The two left the main courtyard together.Along the way, He Jing didn't talk much, and followed her obediently, and the nanny and maid followed behind equally silently.

In the silence, the sound of hurried footsteps is particularly distinct.

The sound of footsteps seemed to be coming this way.Xie Yuyin turned around and looked over, Zhao Chengrui, who was rushing to him, fell to his knees: "Princess..."

"What's wrong?" Yu Yin frowned, and said again, "Get up and talk."

But Zhao Chengrui was so out of breath that he didn't have time to get up, kowtowed his head and said: "The front came to pass word that His Highness had entered the palace earlier to meet Concubine Ding, and when he was about to leave the palace, someone suddenly came and said What did Yang Enlu commit, and he needs to be brought up for trial... His Highness refused to let him go, so the two sides fought each other. Then, then..."

Yu Yin urged: "Then what?"

Zhao Chengrui wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead before continuing: "Then Qianqing Palace suddenly issued an imperial decree to imprison His Highness at the gate of the palace...for twenty."
