concubines

Chapter 119
In the morning, Miao Li didn't sleep well these days, and woke up early every day.

I got some food for the small and big animals, but the other two haven't gotten up yet.Miao Li then went to the kitchen, thinking about reheating last night's dishes, the porridge in the pot was almost ready.

Just as the pot was hot, Miao Li poured the oil into it.Lu Guangbai ran in with his coat on, grabbed the spatula in her hand, and muttered, "Didn't I tell you not to cook? You didn't listen to me several times, so get out."

Wearing an apron, Miao Liji looked at the shovel longingly, and said aggrievedly, "I'm not allowed to do anything. If I have arms and legs, I'll starve to death."

It was because she accidentally burned her hands while cooking last time, and Lu Guangbai didn't let her touch the shovel after that, and she could only lie if she said that a good gentleman is far away from the kitchen.

"It's just that you are not allowed to cook, and you are not forbidden to eat. After I cook it, you can just eat it." Lu Guangbai took a plate, scooped up the vegetables neatly, and handed them to Miao Li: "Take it out."

Every time Lu Guangbai said these words, Miao Li didn't know how to answer them. In this year, Lu Guangbai has been very caring and considerate to her.

From the very beginning, Lu Guangbai made it clear what he thought of her, but she still couldn't accept him.It was an inexplicable feeling, every time her heart wavered a little, without exception, she would think of Zhou Shuxuan.

Maybe it's not enough time, so she hasn't completely forgotten him yet.

Obviously at the time, I didn't feel that I loved him beyond redemption, so why couldn't I forget it?
She still cared about others in her heart, so she couldn't respond to Lu Guangbai, it would be unfair to him.

After breakfast was set, Jie Bizhi got up on time.Yawning and sitting down at the dining table, he looked at the two of them sadly, "You're using leftovers to perfuse me. I don't have a few days left to live. Can't you give me something good to eat?"

Miao Li glared at him, she didn't have a few days left to live, she went up after digging out the bird's nest yesterday, young men in their 30s and [-]s may not be as flexible as him.

Miao Li said angrily: "Do you like to eat or not, and if you don't eat, you can do it yourself."

"It's so fierce." Jie Bizhi muttered softly while holding the porridge bowl, "I remember you were not like this at the beginning, a very educated little girl, a genius doctor is so sweet."

Miao Li didn't even look at him, and said in a serious tone: "It's not like I quarrel with you every day."

Jie Bizhi felt aggrieved like a child, "Can't you let me?"

Miao Li held back her smile, pretending to be serious and said: "No, you haven't told me to let me go yet!"

Jie Bizhi glanced at her, wrinkled his face, struggled for a long time, and finally compromised and said, "Okay then, I will try to let you speak next time."

Miao Li could hardly hold back her laughter, if Jie Bizhi hadn't reminded her, she would hardly be able to recall what she was like before.

Are you a lady who is educated and reasonable?Or a concubine of the palace who swallowed his anger?
No matter which one, I am not happy now.There are no rules, no restraints, and quarreling and bickering every day. This kind of life was unimaginable before.

Lu Guangbai did not participate in the war between the two at all, and only when he saw that the two had almost quarreled did he ask Miao Li: "I'm going to the capital today, are you going?"

The capital is such a far away place.

Miao Li shook her head, "No, be careful on your own way."

To be honest, she doesn't know where she is in the capital, nor how far it is from here to the capital.She didn't want to know either, because she never thought about going back.

"Is there anything you want?"

Miao Li still shook her head, and reminded him again, "You are not allowed to buy me anything, I really don't need anything."

Every time Lu Guangbai went down the mountain, he would bring her some things back, such as makeup and hairpin rings, porcelain figurines and clay sculptures, and all kinds of weird gadgets. She already had a big box in her room.

Lu Guangbai explained: "You're not going down the mountain, so bring something here to relieve your boredom."

Jie Bizhi didn't want to interrupt at first, this is a good time for his apprentice to behave, but when he heard the relief, he suddenly became interested, and whispered on the side: "Monkey, monkeys can relieve boredom, they are clever and cute, I even planted peach trees. "

Miao Li winked at him, "The talk is to relieve my boredom, not to relieve your boredom, what are you so excited about?"

"Hmph, sooner or later I'll make you two little ones so mad that I don't want to play with you anymore." Jie Bizhi dropped his job and left.

Seeing the man leave, Miao Li smiled and said, "If you meet him, buy one for him. I've been thinking about it for a long time."

Lu Guangbai nodded.

Miao Li always felt that the capital city was not very far from here, because Lu Guangbai could run back and forth in two days.But Lu Guangbai's foot strength is also very scary. Jie Bizhi asked him to send medicine to Wudang Mountain before, and he came back on the third day.

Whether it is far or not, it has nothing to do with her.

In the Longde Hall, Zhou Shuxuan stood at the head of the civil servants.

Yes, he is standing.

In order to maintain a standing posture, he has wooden boards tied to his legs and a crutch in his sleeve.

He planned carefully for a year, and now he can be said to be under one person and over ten thousand people.If it weren't for these legs, he would have been crowned prince long ago.Half of the ministers in the court support him, and there is no prince who is evenly matched with him, even King Qi is on his side.

But no matter how well he did it, the emperor didn't like him.It is a stereotype to feel uncomfortable seeing him.He would rather leave the position of prince vacant than let Zhou Shuxuan take the position.

Zhou Shu declared his hatred to the bone, but there was nothing he could do.Because the emperor has a reason, the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom is absolutely impossible to be a person with inconvenient legs and feet.

So Zhou Shuxuan insisted on standing up every day, and the wooden board on his leg was almost embedded in his flesh, and he didn't cry out for pain.After working hard for so long and paying a heavy price, he must get what he wants.

If his legs were good, the emperor wouldn't have an excuse to gag him.The one or two hours of going to court became the most painful time for him every day.

The emperor hugged the fourteenth prince and sat on the dragon chair, as if he was declaring a demonstration last week, telling him that he could not sit on the throne.

The fourteenth prince was less than five years old, and he was still a little girl, but he was not intimidating at all. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the civil and military officials below.

After hugging for a while, the emperor suddenly said to the fourteenth prince: "Father is a little tired, go and play with your third brother."

The fourteenth prince responded crisply, "I obey the order."

Then trotted directly to Zhou Shuxuan, the strength of a grown man to a child was not painful at all, but Zhou Shuxuan was different, it was extremely difficult for him to keep standing.

King Qi on the side realized that something was wrong, and wanted to reach out to grab the fourteenth prince, but he was a step too late, and Zhou Shuxuan was easily thrown to the ground by a child.

There was quite a commotion in the court hall, the fourteenth prince was so frightened that he burst into tears, King Qi helped Zhou Shuxuan up.

What a humiliation to fall in front of all the officials.

The emperor deliberately humiliated him, Zhou Shuxuan endured the anger in his heart, stood up and gently pushed King Qi away.He cupped his hands and said: "My son is disrespectful in front of the palace, please give me a punishment from the emperor."

The emperor sat on the first seat, and said in a strange way: "Even a child can't stop it. If an enemy country invades in the future, do you still expect you to be able to stop the enemy army?"

Before Zhou Shuxuan could reply, the King of Qi clasped his fists and said, "If an enemy country invades in the future, I am willing to serve the monarch, and I will not hesitate to die. No enemy army will be vulnerable."

The emperor cast a sharp look, "I'm talking to the third child, why are you interrupting?"

King Qi stepped back resentfully, and exchanged glances with the eldest princess.The eldest princess shook her head slightly, signaling him not to be impulsive.

If it weren't for the fear of being charged with bad crimes, and Zhou Shuxuan's position would not be well-known, and would be said by later generations to be the throne obtained by improper means.The eldest princess has long wanted to know the emperor, how can she keep him until today?

The emperor is also a grasshopper after autumn, and after a few days of jumping, the eldest princess just stood aside and watched, with no intention of interrupting.

The emperor turned his head and said to Zhou Shuxuan, "I've been ill all day long. You should rest in the mansion. You can go back first. If you don't feel well tomorrow, you can come and ask for leave and not go to court. How long will I have?" batch."

This is to force him to take a vacation, and let him not consider his body when doing things.When he realized that the power in his hands was getting bigger and bigger, he wanted to kick him away, it was not that easy.

Zhou Shuxuan bent down and said neither angry nor sad: "My son obeys the order."

Then he clenched his fists tightly and walked out in a strange posture.The board on the leg seemed to be really broken, and he could feel the splinters moving through the flesh.He couldn't cry out the pain, so he had to walk on like no one else.

Miaoli's medicine that day did make him feel better, but the effect was only that way, and it didn't make him completely like a normal person.After that, I searched around for several doctors, but I still couldn't do anything about his legs.

Zhou Shuxuan gritted his teeth and walked out of the palace gate. Wei Hai waited for him outside the gate, and helped him onto the sedan chair.He opened his trouser legs and untied the wooden board tied to his legs, which was indeed stained with blood.

"My lord, this..." Wei Hai held the wooden board, raised his head and asked him what's wrong with his eyes.

Zhou Shuxuan said in a flat tone: "In order to humiliate me, the emperor made me fall in front of everyone."

Wei Hai let out a long sigh, feeling distressed and sad.Helping him deal with the wound, he babbled, "My lord, going on like this is not a long-term solution. Binding these things every day doesn't cure the symptoms, and it doesn't cure the root cause. I still have to find a way to heal my legs."

Zhou Shuxuan said in a flat tone: "It's easy to say, do you think I don't want to? But it's not that easy, all the doctors invited are inexperienced."

Every day he worried about these legs, but there was nothing he could do.

Wei Hai thought about it for a moment, then raised his head and said firmly, "It's useless to invite, then the prince will go out and look for it."
