concubines

Chapter 104 Want to understand

Xu Meitang never came to Zhou Shuxuan again, and did her own thing with peace of mind.Zhou Shuxuan gave her enough face, she can't be shameless.

While the palace held Xu's funeral under the auspices of Xu Meitang, Zhou Shuxuan continued to deal with official affairs and met courtiers as before.

In Zhou Shuxuan's mind, the loss of a side concubine he didn't care about was not a big deal, and Xu's family had no children, so it was even less important.

Tomorrow is the day for the funeral, and Zhou Shuxuan has not even paid a single glance to Mrs. Xu.Seeing that Zhou Shuxuan had finished handling the matter at hand, Miao Li handed over a cup of tea and took the opportunity to say, "Should the prince go and see?"

Zhou Shuxuan said coldly: "Let's talk about it tomorrow, and I will go there tomorrow."

Even in the past, it was just an appearance.

Miao Li didn't stop working, as if she said casually: "My lord doesn't seem to care much about the life and death of the people around me."

Holding the teacup, Zhou Shuxuan raised his eyes and glanced at her, wondering if there was something wrong with her, why should he care about a person who he never saw once a year.He and Xu's have a clear distinction between husband and wife, but they don't have the essence of husband and wife, let alone any relationship.

That day her father begged him to marry Mrs. Xu, and then he did many things under his banner. It was originally an exchange of interests, and he had nothing to care about.

Zhou Shuxuan looked at Miaoli again without saying a word, she seemed to be the perfect candidate for the wife, even Xu Meitang, who was framed by the standard of a lady, might not be able to compare with her.If you don't like it, you can push him to others unscrupulously, regardless of whether it is dead or alive.

If she was in Xu Meitang's seat now, he would be very happy. A concubine who is capable of managing affairs without causing trouble is what he needs very much.But he is not like that to Miao Li, he has other ideas, he thinks she can have affection for him, even if it is a little bit.

No man wants the woman he likes to push him to other women time and time again, that's because he doesn't care about his performance.

Looking back on the past, he first had a crush on her because she was beautiful and smart, but now it seems that only beauty is left.Zhou Shuxuan began to doubt whether she was smart after all, why smartness made him angry all the time, and also began to think whether it was so important that she liked her.

If he can ascend to the high position in the future, she must not be the only woman by his side, and he must not be able to give her a life where she does not have to fight with women.Some things will pass if you endure it, and you don't need to pursue persistently.

Be

Love has never been the most important thing in his life.

Seeing that he hasn't spoken for a long time, Miaoli thinks he is angry again, and just wants to kneel down and admit his mistake.

Zhou Shuxuan raised his hand to stop her, and spoke out her words first: "Since you know I'm angry, why did you say those things just now?"

"Slave..." Miao Li was at a loss for words for a moment, she didn't know he was angry until she finished speaking.

Zhou Shuxuan held his breath and continued: "I don't believe you don't know that I will get angry after saying those words. I think I have made it obvious. I don't want you to say what I want to do to other women."

Miao Li was not only not happy when she heard these words, but a little angry.He whispered in his mouth, "They are not others, they are the wives of the prince, and the prince should be responsible for them."

Zhou Shuxuan looked at her helplessly, then covered his face, feeling a headache.In the harem, he often saw those concubines doing anything for the emperor's favor, but why she didn't care at all.

Zhou Shuxuan thought about the reason carefully, and there was probably no reason.She doesn't need to get anything from petting, and she has no feelings for herself, so she can say such things.

Very well, his patience has a limit, and Miao Li successfully crossed his limit today.

Zhou Shuxuan was furious, and his voice became a little louder, "My wife is only the princess, and the others are just playthings, including you! Those who have no children and can't even enter the jade plate are just passing by, what do you want me to do, yes Everyone is as deep as the sea? Absolutely impossible! Why am I not responsible for them? I have already been responsible for the couple who were only exchanging benefits."

"But... my lord..." Miao Li wanted to refute but didn't know where to start.

Zhou Shuxuan saw her very uncomfortable now, turned his face away and said: "I don't want to listen to you anymore, get out!"

He is very confused now, he understands Miao Li's meaning, that is, he has no affection or love for any woman in the palace.He couldn't do it, absolutely not possible.

He really can't treat everyone equally.Concubine Liang often taught him when he was a child that when he met a girl he liked, he had to treat her wholeheartedly, otherwise the girl would feel very sad.He did it, but there was something wrong with the girl.

The sentence came to mind again, body and emotion can be so separated...

Curse!

Every time he thought of this sentence, he couldn't help but think about Miaoli's past. If it wasn't because Miaoli was still intact when she entered the mansion, then he would really doubt whether she had summed up the experience.

Miao Li went out with her head down. Wei Hai was very experienced. She had either quarreled with Zhou Shuxuan or angered Zhou Shuxuan when she came out like this.Wei Hai can even guess the reason, Zhou Shuxuan is now angry with Miao Li only because of feelings.

Seeing that Miaoli was about to walk past him, Wei Hai stopped her and said, "Girl, the prince really treats you with sincerity."

Zhou Shuxuan tortured himself every time he quarreled, and he bowed his head first.Wei Hai didn't want to see such a useless Zhou Shuxuan, so he wanted to persuade Miaoli.

Miao Li didn't reply, she knew that Zhou Shuxuan might have true feelings for her, but she didn't know if she really needed his feelings.

Wei Hai went on to say: "In the past, the prince was indifferent to everyone, and he always spoke with a straight face. After the girl came, the prince became more lively. I used to hope that the prince would take care of that girl. If I had known It's a girl like this, I hope the prince doesn't care about anyone, the prince in the past is much better than now."

Miao Li still didn't speak, but she didn't leave either, quietly waiting for his next words.

"I don't know why the girl doesn't like the prince. But even if the girl is not the prince's concubine, she is just an ordinary girl, and she will marry someone in the future. Why can't she choose the prince? The appearance and family background are not top-notch. Although the temper is not very good , but you have nothing to say to those close to you, let alone girls. Girl, think about it carefully."

"I see," Miao Li replied in a low voice, "Then I'll go first."

Miao Li didn't know why, but recently she also felt that her heart was in a mess.From that night on, it seemed that she could no longer be as indifferent to Zhou Shuxuan as before.A small voice kept reminding her that she shouldn't do that, it was Zhou Shuxuan's sincerity, and she should treat it well.

Not knowing where to go, Miao Li sat on the steps at the door with her arms around her knees, wanting to take a good look at her heart.

Wei Hai didn't say much, and went into the room to listen to Zhou Shuxuan's orders, only to see that Zhou Shuxuan was not energetic, leaning on the table as if thinking about something.Wei Hai sighed in his heart, when will these two people achieve a positive result.

Zhou Shuxuan thought for a long time but did not come up with any results, but he still has a lot of things to do, and he can't be caught by love.Ask Wei Hai to push him over, continue to read those official documents, and force himself to read if he can't read them.

Miao Li outside the house thought about it and came up with the result, men are unreliable, but Zhou Shuxuan might be different.

In Prince Qi's Mansion, Jing Zheng was still not sure in the end, and asked again, "My lord, if you are sure about this, it is His Royal Highness Qin Wang. If the eldest princess finds out, the consequences will be disastrous."

King Qi was determined, "So you have to be careful with your actions, and don't let her know."

"But……"

"There are not so many but, follow my orders and do things."

Jing Zheng still had disapproval in his stomach, but he had to go out.

After mourning Mrs. Xu, Zhou Shuxuan still didn't recover his attitude towards Miaoli, and had always been indifferent.

His indifference makes things that Miaoli finally figured out return to the past.She witnessed the departure of two women in the palace, and Zhou Shuxuan was colder than the other.If she was gone too, maybe he was too.

In the evening, Miaoli soaked Zhou Shuxuan's feet and pressed his legs as usual. Zhou Shuxuan felt that his legs seemed to have improved a little. The past few days have been warm, and sometimes he actually felt that he could use his strength.I want to share it with her, but I don't think it's necessary, she doesn't care anyway.The care is also that he has a chance to ascend to the throne, not him.

After waiting for Zhou Shuxuan to go to bed, Miao Li lay beside her as usual.She wasn't very resistant to lying down with him without doing anything, and even thought it felt good.

In the past few days she woke up and was no longer in Zhou Shuxuan's arms, maybe it wasn't because she slept dishonestly.

The familiar smell fell into the nose again, and since Mrs. Xu passed away, they seldom spoke.He used to talk to her before going to bed, but now he doesn't care anymore.

Thinking that she was a block of ice, she melted it. If he just wanted to be an idle prince, he wouldn't give up, but he couldn't.

Lying on the bed without falling asleep for a long time, Zhou Shuxuan suddenly asked, "If your father is still here, you are still a lady of the official family, what do you think you are now?"

After the new year, she will be 20 years old. If everything is fine, she must have married a long time ago, and now she may not have several children.

Miao Li replied naturally, "Probably already married, or very likely not."

She has always had an idea since she was a child, and when she reached the age of marriage, she wanted to marry someone she liked.After going through so much, she realized how difficult it is to meet someone she likes.

Zhou Shuxuan changed the subject again, "Then if you could leave the palace, what would you do?"

"Go out for a walk, go where you want to go."

Zhou Shuxuan didn't say anything, but felt in his heart that maybe he could let her go and fulfill her wish.Regardless of her strategy, he can still do things.But keeping her by his side was too troublesome and would cost him a lot of thought.
