Chapter Eighty-Five: The Court
[Chapter 4, Volume 4]
Section 92 Chapter 85 The Court
The next day, Mengyu slept on the bed, opened his eyes in a daze, and found that the sky outside the window had brightened, and suddenly the whole person woke up. Hurriedly sat up from the bed, still muttering: "The days without alarm clocks are really hard." Let the two of them wake me up, I forgot it, what a memory......"
When Mengyu put on her shoes and stood by the bed, Xu is people outside heard the movement in the room, and saw Xing'er and Tao'er walking in from outside the door with the little maids.
"What time is it, why don't you come here earlier, I guess the people in the chamber are scattered now." Mengyu said with a complaining face.
"Miss, don't be in a hurry. It was the old lady who spoke, telling you to have a good rest today, and you don't have to worry about the things in the house. Tao'er put down the basin in her hand on the washstand, turned back to Mengyu and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Mengyu slowed down the movements in his hand: "Grandmother asked someone to come over early this morning?" Why didn't you talk to me directly last night? ”
Tao'er glanced at Xing'er, and didn't know whether to confess or skip yesterday's events, so she had to gently push Xing'er and motioned for her to reply.
Xing'er glanced at Peach, and always pushed it to her for embarrassing things. Seeing that there were still many little maids in the house who were busy working, he immediately walked to Mengyu's side and whispered: "Last night, after the young lady went to bed, Sister Mei'er in the old lady's house came to talk to the two of us. ”
Mengyu looked at Xing'er with a surprised face, and saw that Xing'er signaled with her eyes that there were many people next to her, so she didn't continue to ask.
After Mengyu was cleaned up, the little maids all withdrew. Xing'er saw that there was no one, and said in detail: "Yesterday, the old lady said that Miss should have four big maids around her, but now there are two slaves and Tao'er, and the slaves and maids have worked hard, so they rewarded the slave and Tao'er with a piece of silver ingots of ten taels, and asked us why Miss came back suddenly." The front is just foreshadowing, and the focus is on the last sentence.
Mengyu looked at a certain place and thought for a moment, and it didn't take long to look back at Xing'er and ask, "Then how did you answer?" ”
"Miss wants to go home, it's just casual, what's the reason." At this time, Tao'er also walked to Mengyu's side and said so.
"The slave said the same thing." Apricot nodded and reconsidered.
It's better not to tell the old lady about that. She can think that she was just being chewed by a dog in the middle of the night, but the people here are afraid that they can't accept such close contact, right? What if the time comes, the old lady takes this as a reason and wants Lan Yucheng to marry her? Also, her brother's impulsive nature, if she hadn't stopped her, I am afraid that my brother would have just finished fighting with Li Yanxu and would have another fight with Lan Yucheng. What I'm most afraid of is that this matter will make a boil in the end, so what else is she messing with?
It's annoying! Last night, I tossed and turned for this and never fell asleep for a long time. By the time I finally went to bed, it was almost the fourth watch, so it was only late to get up. Let's sleep, but Li Yanxu and Lan Yucheng always appear in my dreams, one will confess to her, and the other will be to ask for marriage. Eh, what a mess.
It's all to blame for Lan Yucheng, who told such two secrets, which made her only thirteen years old, embarrassed!
And that kiss. Thinking of this, Mengyu couldn't help but touch her lips. The wound on her lips was still there, telling her again and again that what had happened that night was real, and that she couldn't even make a fool of herself. Why could that kiss be so gentle, like a pink whirlpool, trapping her completely.
Looking at her own young lady's expression, she was annoyed for a while, angry for a while, and her face began to be covered with a faint flush again, and Xing'er and Tao'er didn't know what to do, so they could only look at each other face to face.
"Miss? What happened to you? Xing'er said softly beside Mengyu.
"No, not really." Suddenly, the flush on Mengyu's face became even stronger.
Mengyu reluctantly dismissed the chaotic scenes in his mind, and said to Xing'er and Tao'er: "If anyone asks about this matter in the future, just say it as you answered the old lady." ”
"But miss, the night before yesterday, there must have really been something going on, right? If the young lady feels that there is something difficult, she may wish to talk to the slaves and maids, and the three captains can always think of a solution. With the missing coat and the tears on her face, Momo felt that the more she thought about it, the easier it was to go in a certain direction.
Mengyu looked at the two big maids she was closest to, and if she had any visions, she would probably not be able to hide from their eyes. It's just that yesterday the old lady praised and rewarded, and they didn't even tell the old lady some of the things they found, which Mengyu was very pleased with. Two maids who are faithful enough to themselves are much stronger than ten capable but unfaithful.
Only, how should she explain it? If she told them the truth, then they felt that it was a big deal, and finally told their grandmother and father, then where would she cry?
"Actually, there's nothing to do, I can handle it, you just treat it as if you don't know anything." In ancient times, the most helpless thing was the problem of social class, but it was precisely this that was the most convenient. She said that there was nothing wrong, and naturally Apricot and Peach would not be forced to fight each other.
"Yes, the slaves know." Since the master didn't want to say it, they had to let go of the doubts in their hearts.
Mengyu's mind is full of Lan Yucheng, and Lan Yucheng at this moment is not like this.
At this time, Lan Yucheng had also returned to Kyoto, sitting in his room and thinking for a long time about what to do in the future.
"Shizi, the master asked you to go to the study." Lan Yucheng's personal servant knocked on the door and said.
After being away for a month, his father had already sent several letters urging him to return to Beijing, so it was no wonder that his father was about to summon him as soon as he returned. "I see." Lan Yucheng straightened his robe and walked towards Prince Luo's study.
"Father, Yucheng is here." Lan Yucheng stood outside the study and knocked on the door, this is the important place of the entire Prince Luo's Mansion, and no idle people are allowed to enter.
"Come in." A voice came from inside the door that contained deep weariness.
Lan Yucheng pushed open the door and walked in, Prince Luo was buried in a pile of twists and turns.
"You finally know you're back." Prince Luo looked at Lan Yucheng with some hatred: "I summoned you back several times, but you dared to ignore it." ”
"Yu Cheng knows that he is wrong, I don't know if my father is in a hurry to find Yu Cheng, what's the matter?" Lan Yucheng took the first step to admit his mistake, but lowered Prince Luo's anger slightly.
"Do you know that your imperial grandfather's health has been getting worse and worse recently? Prince Cheng has no children, and the most important thing for the saint is your grandson, and you don't know how to accompany him well, but you still have time to go out to play. Prince Luo said with a sigh.
"Uncle Huang came back this time, didn't Grandpa Huang deliberately set up a military camp?" Prince Luo had sent a letter to Lan Yucheng the day before Prince Cheng returned to Beijing, summoning him back. But he just didn't want to see his imperial uncle's domineering appearance, so he didn't return for a long time.
"Your imperial grandfather is already a hard hold." As he spoke, Prince Luo raised the fold in his hand: "Look at it, your father and I have been reviewing this fold recently, and finally sending it to your imperial grandfather." If he had been able to do so, he would not have put such an important matter into my hands. ”
"I'll visit the palace tomorrow." Lan Yucheng thought for a while, and then continued: "It's just that my father approved the folding, and the imperial uncle didn't object?" ”
"What the Holy One himself commanded, how did he object? It's just that your imperial uncle has been in the limelight recently, and he has a heavy army in his hands, and when he returns at this time, if the saint is ......, the situation with us will be very unfavorable! "The saint has not written the edict for a long time, Prince Luo's heart is like frying on the fire, how can he settle down.
"Father rest assured, the emperor's grandfather can hand over the matter to his father, which means that he has a lot of favor for his father. Moreover, most of the Chinese courtiers of the court are now optimistic about their father, and presumably with their support, great things can be accomplished! Lan Yucheng said comfortingly.
"Therefore, there is a matter in front of him, and my father needs to discuss it with you." Prince Luo looked at Lan Yucheng with a meaningful expression.
