concubines

Chapter 118

King Qi's mansion, King Qi is drinking wine facing the moon.

King Qi didn't take it seriously when he was trained during the day.After the emperor finished scolding and punished those who should be punished, the matter passed.

His current worries are only for one person. The eldest princess has not been in court for the past few days, as if she is deliberately avoiding him.King Qi didn't dare to look for her either. For some reason, he was afraid of seeing the eldest princess right now.

He has got everything he dreamed of before, the eldest princess's people, and her heart, even they are not related by blood, and the ethics can no longer torture him.

Everything is fine, but he just has an inexplicable timidity.

A voice suddenly came from the wall, "Drinking again."

Where did the little thief come from?It was stolen from his house.King Qi reflexively threw the wine glass in his hand, and the eldest princess jumped off the wall, "I'm not afraid of breaking such an expensive thing."

The best glass cups cost dozens of taels of silver each.

King Qi greeted him with joy and surprise, and kept asking: "Why are you here? How did you climb over the wall? Why didn't you go through the door?"

The eldest princess was amused by him, she was a foolish person, she smiled and said: "I have something to ask you, if you come here at night, you may be gossiped by others, and I don't want to alarm others in the palace, so I just climbed over the wall and came in."

King Qi murmured, "You will be gossiped only if you climb over the wall, not for a gentleman."

Obviously everything is different, but their relationship is still so shady.

The eldest princess really didn't hear what he said just now, "What did you say?"

King Qi shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything, what do you want from me? Is it because of something during the day?"

The eldest princess nodded heavily, and said that the important thing is the business, "Yes, you can go to the third son's house to see it another day. That person is very stingy, and he already knows what you asked Jing Zheng to do."

King Qi was slightly surprised, "Then he..."

King Qi was also impulsive, and he didn't know what kind of magic he did to do such a thing.Later, I regretted it too much, especially after what the eldest princess said to him.Speaking of which, he assassinated Zhou Shuxuan to become the emperor, not as much as the eldest princess.

He was blinded by jealousy, thinking that the eldest princess and Zhou Shuxuan had something.

"If you make it clear, there shouldn't be any problem. You are brothers, and the bones are still connected even if the bones are broken."

"We are not blood brothers." King Qi was eager to defend himself, he didn't want to be blood brothers with Zhou Shuxuan, otherwise he and the eldest princess would go back to the past.

"I said yes!" The eldest princess suddenly became fierce, and glared at him again, "I don't know if you are brothers, silly."

King Qi suddenly laughed, no need to argue.Now he is somewhat glad that he is not the prince anymore, everything in the past was due to fate pushing him in front of her.

Afterwards, King Qi who had been eyeing the throne suddenly disappeared, and began to say nothing in the court again.Moreover, the indistinct war with King Qin also disappeared, and he returned to the state of his own brother.

In a blink of an eye, it's Mid-Autumn Festival, and the cook in the princess' mansion is a master at making mooncakes. Every year, the princess asks the cook to make more mooncakes for people to give away.

King Qi put the brocade box on the table and said to Zhou Shuxuan, "Today is the festival, and this is the mooncake that my aunt asked me to give you."

Zhou Shuxuan raised his head and asked, "Why doesn't my aunt come over?"

King Qi took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile, "She doesn't want to see you."

Since Miao Li left, in the past few months, the eldest princess has never been here except once for King Qi.

Zhou Shuxuan knew the reason better than anyone else, but luckily the eldest princess still stood by his side in major matters, "Forget it, then ask elder brother to help me thank her."

"What? You won't go to the palace banquet today?"

Zhou Shuxuan couldn't get any interest in the palace banquet, and said wearily, "I won't go, I'm not in a good mood, and I've already asked my father for leave."

"Then you can take a good rest, but I have to go, I'll go first."

After King Qi left, Zhou Shuxuan stared at the mooncakes on the table in a daze.It's Mid-Autumn Festival again, the flowers are full and the moon is full, which is a good time for reunion.

The moon is round and people are not round, where is she?
It's been almost three months, and he hasn't stopped looking for a single day.He has searched everywhere he can, but there is no trace, and the person seems to have disappeared out of thin air.

Didn't she look dazzling wherever she went?Why is it that no one has seen her?
What a cruel woman, she really left like this without giving him a chance to regret it.

Miaoli never came back in reality, but in Zhou Shuxuan's dream she never left.

Could it be that for the next few decades, he will have to live by dreaming.No, he has been feeling very scared these past few days. He seems to be unable to remember her face.

He wanted to draw a picture and keep her, but what he drew was just a picture of a lifeless beauty, and he couldn't draw her expression at all.

Zhou Shuxuan had something on his mind, so he didn't notice when Xu Meitang came over.

"My lord?"

Xu Meitang called out softly, with a little fear in her tone.

Ever since that cheap maid left, Zhou Shuxuan never gave her a good face.He also got angry at her several times, and sometimes Xu Meitang thought that if it wasn't for her father, she would not be able to be a princess long ago.

Zhou Shuxuan came back to his senses, and asked with a cold face, "What is it?"

Today is fine, but the tone is blunt and cold, and there is no sign of getting angry.Xu Meitang boldly said: "I held a small banquet in Linhuyuan, and invited the prince to have a drink."

"Don't go."

Xu Meitang continued to say without fear of death: "My lord, today is the reunion night, can't my lord give me some face?"

Zhou Shuxuan raised his head and said without showing any sympathy: "This king rewards you by letting you go back to your natal family. How about reuniting with your natal family?"

Choking, Xu Meitang couldn't say a single extra word, and walked away in despair.

Zhaoyun Mountain.

Jie Bizhi was leading Lu Guangbai to refine the medicine, and Miao Li wanted to help, so she brought in the medicinal herbs from outside.

As soon as Jie Bizhi saw her coming in, he drove people out, "Go out, don't come in."

Miao Li threw the things in her hands, sat down on a chair beside her with her legs crossed, hugged her shoulders and said, "I don't want to go out, so I have to watch here."

Jie Bizhi ran over to push her, yelling, "Get out, I know you are here to steal the teacher, you should give up on it. I only pass it on to my own disciples, and you don't accept me as a teacher. If you don’t become my apprentice’s daughter-in-law, you are not allowed to learn.”

His speech and demeanor really resembled that of a little boy.

Lu Guangbai couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't know who to persuade.

In order to help him a few days ago, Jie Bizhi gave him an aphrodisiac and asked him to find Miaoli.Fortunately, he was determined and was not affected by the medicine. He spent a night soaking in the creek behind the courtyard before recovering.Afterwards, she successfully caught the wind and cold. After Miaoli knew what had happened, she had a quarrel with Zajie Bizhi, and then the two became like this.

Miao Li raised her face and said: I don't want to be a teacher of a villain like you, and I don't want to learn your dirty medical skills. "

Jie Bizhi was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "If you say more, this is my mountain, and if you say more, I will not allow you to stay here."

At that time, he was playing tricks to keep Miao Li, but now he is angry and wants to drive her away.

Miao Li knew that he had this kind of virtue, so she was not angry, so she confronted him, "Let's go, before I leave, I'll tear down all your cat litters, dog litters, and bird cages."

Those cages are exquisite and cute, and Jie Bizhi likes them very much. When he heard that she wanted to take them apart, he jumped anxiously, "Why do you take them down?!"

Miao Li said confidently: "Because I made it, I can tear it down if I want."

"You! If you don't go, I'll go." Jie Bizhi muttered as he walked, "You talk too much, if you make me angry again, I'll make you dumb."

Lu Guangbai still couldn't stand it anymore, so he came over to persuade Miaoli, "Stop arguing with him, after all, it's my fault."

Miao Li held back her smile and said, "Do you think he's really angry? I thought he was really angry after the fight with him at first, and wanted to ask him to apologize. I heard him laughing alone in the room, and his mouth was still talking non-stop. Whispering, saying that you don’t like to talk, after a few words, your teeth are sore, and finally someone came to play with him, he likes it so much.”

"This……"

Lu Guangbai would be unable to accept it for a while, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that this was really something Jie Bizhi could say, so he shook his head and smiled helplessly.

In fact, Miaoli also likes this kind of life very much, it is very relaxed, and she doesn't have to think about other mundane things, and she doesn't have to intrigue.Get up at dawn and go to bed when it gets dark.

During the day, he helped them with the medicinal materials and teased the little animals.In the evening, I watched it with Lu Guangbai for a while. Occasionally, the two could argue for a long time over a line of poetry, but in the end it was Lu Guangbai who gave up first.

Miao Li felt very satisfied to lead such a carefree life after wandering for a long time.

Occasionally, she would meet Zhou Shuxuan in her dream, as if it was not as sad as it was at the beginning, she could definitely forget him.As for clearing her father of the crime, she can only rely on the Eldest Princess.The eldest princess treats her well, and she probably won't watch her father be wronged for the rest of her life.

The moon is so bright today, since Miaoli arrived in Zhaoyun Mountain, she can't even remember the days.It wasn't until Lu Guangbai brought out the finished moon cakes that Miao Li realized that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day of reunion.

Family members are displaced and reunion is almost impossible.In the past, when I spent Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace, I just sat in my room and ate a piece or two of moon cakes. There was no special celebration.

It's okay now, at least two people are with her.

Maybe three, she looked at the moon in the sky and could always think of Zhou Shuxuan's face, she shook her head in fear, two people were enough, she didn't want to think of him again.

Regardless of the secular life, Miao Li realized that time had slipped away a lot when she found out that the deer she had just arrived had grown into a big deer.

As the cold came and the summer went, she changed into summer clothes again, as if a year had passed.It is isolated from the outside world, and I don't know what the situation in the capital is like.
