concubines

Chapter 141 The Vulnerable Princess
Miao Li had already prepared, and was not afraid of Xu Meitang's question at all.

Miao Li slightly blessed Fushen and said: "Princess, please forgive me, my things here were smashed yesterday, and now I am just going to go out to buy tea sets. The service is not good, please take care of me, Concubine."

Xu Meitang's face froze, she didn't expect Miao Li to say this.But at this point, Xu Meitang couldn't help asking, Xu Meitang asked reluctantly, "Who smashed it?"

With a smile, Miao Li said very kindly: "I don't know, Zuo is just some people who came here to find trouble. I don't know who I listened to. I came here to find trouble as soon as I came back. But Miss Panqing should know, she I said some sarcastic remarks to me yesterday, but I pushed it back, and I should find someone to discuss it with."

Xu Meitang's face was a little uneasy, she came here to find fault, she should be talking about someone, but before she opened her mouth, someone said something.Miao Li's words were full of saying that she had someone come over to find trouble, and then she said Pan Qing first.

This woman is really not a fuel-efficient lamp!

Without getting rid of Miao Li, Xu Meitang felt that she would not be able to sleep well in the future.

Pan Qing heard that Miaoli's words were wrong, so she immediately stood up and pretended to be pitiful, "Princess, don't listen to her nonsense, the servant did not come to make trouble. The princess saw that the injuries on the servant were all caused by her and her people."

Miao Li smiled and said, "Miss Panqing, don't pretend to be pitiful here. If Miss Panqing hadn't said yesterday that she was older than me and wanted to teach me a lesson, how could I have fought back legitimately?"

Pan Qing was speechless and suffered from bad eloquence.

Xu Meitang cursed a useless thing in her heart, and then said by herself: "Yesterday was a legitimate counterattack, but what is it today? How can you allow your servant to beat her?"

Xiaohong knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed non-stop, "Go back to the princess, the servant didn't beat her, today the servant was packing up the things in the house, this girl came with two girls, and she couldn't help but say that she wanted to smash things. The servants stopped them, and they pushed and shoved twice in the confusion, but the servants did not beat anyone. Princess Qingtian is still alive, so I must give the servants an innocence."

Pan Qing couldn't beat Miao Li, and didn't believe that she couldn't beat a little maid, she clutched her stomach and said, "You still said you didn't hit me, you hit me on my stomach and legs, they were all wounds. "

It was indeed Xiaohong who beat them, but they didn't. Three of them couldn't beat one.

Xiaohong was so wronged that she was already crying, and kowtowed on the ground non-stop, "Princess, there is no servant, but the guards from Yuan came to help and moved a few times later. Miss Panqing, you must not frame the servant."

Miao Li looked in amazement, this girl Xiao Hong was born in opera, she has a strong performance.If she hadn't seen Xiaohong's arrogance when she beat someone, she would have believed what she said.

"You... how could you do this?" Pan Qing acted like a ghost, unwilling to let Xiao Hong turn black and white, and knelt on the ground herself, crying and howling at Xu Meitang, "Princess really hit me, Yan Liu The girl and Miss Xianglan can both be slaves to testify."

Miao Li said quietly from the side, "You are the ones who committed the crime together, so the testimony is probably not credible."

Xu Meitang looked at Miaoli with a stern face, and asked sharply: "Then what is credible, is your one-sided statement?"

Miao Li was not afraid of Xu Meitang's anger, but she still wanted to give her some face, "It's not credible, why don't the princess ask the guard Yuan."

Now there is no collusion with He Yuan, but Miao Li is not worried.Zhou Shuxuan's people knew in their hearts that she was more important than the princess, and He Yuan would follow her words.

Xu Meitang judged what she said in her heart. Although He Yuan is the prince's man, he came back with Miaoli, and the evidence he made would probably be biased towards Miaoli, so it was useless to ask.

Xu Meitang said with a stern face: "No need, Panqing's medical expenses will be paid out of your monthly payment. Let's forget about this matter, and you will all be more peaceful in the future."

Speaking of He Yuan, Xu Meitang suddenly remembered, "Why did Yuan guards come to the concubine's courtyard?"

There is a difference between men and women, as Zhou Shuxuan's bodyguard, He Yuan can enter the inner house, but only when Zhou Shuxuan is present.

Miao Li said without changing her face: "It was smashed here. I want to buy something. It is inconvenient to go out and buy it by myself, so I want to ask the guards to go out to buy it. It is the same on Zhaoyun Mountain. I have listed it. If you want to buy things, the prince will let the two guards buy them."

This was Zhou Shuxuan's permission, and Xu Meitang couldn't pick anything.

Being fooled by her again, Xu Meitang said with a straight face: "You don't need to go out and buy, just tell Steward Qian if you need anything, and the palace will buy it for you."

"Understood, thank you, Princess."

Xu Meitang took her people away with a bad expression on her face, Pan Qing didn't dare to follow, and went out with her head down.Seeing that the person had gone far away, Miaoli closed the door, and then pulled Xiaohong to get up.

When there was no one else, Xiaohong changed her appearance and said, "Girl, you are so powerful, they are simply vulnerable."

Miao Li wiped away the tears from Xiao Hong's face with a handkerchief, and said, "You are also amazing, acting just like the real thing."

"The servants learned from the side concubine, so those who act like a baby and beg for food after the nanny are good at acting."

It was something Li Youfu could do, Miao Li covered her mouth and burst out laughing.

Thinking of her behavior just now, she was not very restrained, but she was begged to come back, so she would not let herself be wronged.

Xu Meitang almost tore her handkerchief to pieces on the way to Huining Fragrance Courtyard, gritted her teeth and wished she could eat Miaoli alive.

The nanny who was following Xu Meitang said, "Princess, it would be great if there is no guard from Yuan."

Xu Meitang didn't know this, but he was Zhou Shuxuan's man, and his martial arts were strong, he was not a maid in the back house.With He Yuan around, she couldn't attack Miaoli even more.He Yuan was like Zhou Shuxuan's eyes on the palace, watching her every move.

From yesterday to today, she is still too reckless, and so are those idiots. There are so many ways to find fault, but she chooses the most eye-catching one, smashing people's things and fighting.I really thought Miaoli was a beauty lamp, and it fell down when it was blown.

Xu Meitang said impatiently: "I know that all of them are that guard Yuan, but the reason why the lord asked He Yuan to stay is probably to protect her. What can I do?"

"The concubine naturally has a way. No matter what the prince's guards from Liuyuan do, it is definitely not for them to commit adultery."

Xu Meitang was like enlightened, she clearly had this idea just now, why did she slip past it.Adultery is tainted, and it cannot be washed away. This is a good idea that kills both arrows.She had to think about it carefully and set up a situation where no one knew.

In the courtyard of concubines, when Miao Li didn't come back, there were only five people.Now three of them are recuperating in the house after being beaten, and two of them dare not show their faces now.

This night, the concubine's courtyard was unusually quiet, and Miao Li had a good night's sleep.

Xiaohong learned the lesson from yesterday, how could the slave get up earlier than the master, and got up early before dawn, and brought food for Miao Li.

Miao Li deliberately ate a little more to go to Shende Hall, and several people must have gone back to discuss it.In the officialdom, all you see is the face of the superior, the left minister is the head of the civil servants, and the people below must obey his orders.

Zuo was very unfriendly to her, and she would go over to quarrel with them until she was full.

After breakfast, Miao Li took yesterday's list and went.After waiting for a long time, no one came. I looked at the time, and it was not right. It should be the next time.

She came here yesterday to make a good impression on the people sent by King Qin, but today she just wanted to impress her.

It's okay, she'll just wait.

Miao Li was really bored, practiced calligraphy in the study for a while, and then waited for several adults, but Zuo Xiang didn't come.

After several people came over, they also nodded slightly to Miaoli, and sat on the chair without saying a word.Afterwards, someone came to serve tea, and the adults held their teacups in silence.

Miao Li understood that this was their method.But Zhou Shuxuan said that they didn't pay attention to the people he sent back, but they didn't want to talk to her when they came here, so one or two pretended to be wooden figures for her.

They didn't talk, she said: "The adults who came here so late today should have finished dealing with the matters in their hands. If you don't talk, just sit here if you have nothing to do, and I will be fine."

After being punctured, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and Zhou Shuxuan were close, so he had to say: "It's not that the officials are silent, but they really have nothing to say. It depends on whether the girl has any orders?"

"I have," Miao Li took out the list given by Mr. Zhang yesterday, and handed it back to him, "This list is not acceptable."

This was listed by Mr. Zhang according to Zuo Xiang's meaning. When she heard that she said it was not good, she immediately became anxious and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Others are fine, but the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu may be replaced by someone from the emperor. It is best to ask the emperor for instructions, and the emperor will personally appoint him."

"I thought the girl had some high opinion, so it's this. It may be a long time since I hired you. I don't know the current situation. The emperor has been in a bad mood for a while. Sometimes he is confused and sometimes sober. Hand it over to the Prime Minister and the lower officials."

such……

Thinking of the old man in his memory, Miao Li still insisted on her opinion, "The emperor is the emperor after all, don't say he is sober sometimes, even if he is always confused, he has to listen to the emperor."

Master Zhang didn't confront her face to face, and asked from a different angle: "What is the reason for the girl to do this?"

"Because the prince wants to get the emperor's edict to pass on the throne, and get everything openly, the prince intends to please the emperor. Among the officials released this time, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu is relatively unimportant, and the emperor can choose it himself. Let the emperor know Even if he delegates the power to appoint and dismiss officials, the power is still in his hands."

It seemed to be so reasonable, Mr. Zhang was persuaded.He has always acted according to Zuoxiang's instructions, but he didn't think of this.

Mr. Zhang pondered for a moment and then asked: "Excuse me, girl, if you use troops at this time, what should you do if the emperor controls the food and grass?"

Miao Li was a little surprised. Is this the level of high officials in the court?
