concubines

Chapter 195 Compromise
Miao Li knelt on the ground and didn't dare to lift her head, wondering what wrong she had done.I thought about it back and forth, but couldn't think of anything.When she left that day, she also followed the eldest princess' orders.I haven't seen each other for a long time recently, so I can't offend the eldest princess.

The eldest princess glanced at the man with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes on the ground. She really hoped that she was lying to Miaoli as Zhou Shuxuan said, but unfortunately it was not like that. She was always sincere to Miaoli, so it was so difficult to speak now.

There was no other way, the eldest princess clenched her fist to make herself speak, and asked sharply, "Do you know that the third child will not do anything for your prince?"

Miao Li raised her head blankly, she was isolated from the world now, she didn't know anything about the outside world, so she shook her head slightly.

The eldest princess asked again: "Then do you know that he wants to empty out the women in the East Palace for you?"

She knows this, Miao Li nodded honestly.

The eldest princess was a little surprised, and asked: "You asked him to do that?" In the eldest princess's heart, Miao Li was very sensible, so she wouldn't do that.

Miao Li shook her head and opened her mouth to explain: "It's not me, it's..."

The eldest princess interrupted her, not wanting to hear her explanation, afraid that she would soften her heart after hearing it, "It wasn't you who asked him to do it, it was because of you. Just because he was going to divorce Xu Meitang, Prime Minister Zuo took out the emperor's imperial decree. The emperor had According to the decree, Xu Meitang was proclaimed to be the queen after the current crown princess. The third child resisted the decree in order to suspend the Xu family. He had a big fight with the left minister in Ciqing Palace, and said on the spot that he would not be the crown prince. Until now None have changed their minds."

Miao Li knew what had happened.She could imagine that Zhou Shuxuan would be under tremendous pressure, but she didn't expect it to be so great.

Miao Li was silent, not knowing what to say.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't let her do that, but she was willing.Others could bear it, but Xu Meitang definitely couldn't.

The eldest princess went on to say: "Do you know what the emperor's imperial decree said? It said that you are a demon girl who bewitched the prince, and everyone will punish you! Do you know how hard the third child has been and how much effort he has put in? , how much humiliation have you suffered from the emperor?"

Regardless of whether she knew it before or not, Miao Li knew it now, and she sighed inwardly.

"He gave up everything just to make you the only one, even if we are together in the future, will you feel at peace in your heart?"

Miao Li gave a wry smile, raised her head and said, "I know everything, and I know what to do next. Don't worry, Your Highness."

The eldest princess pulled her up and said, "It's good that you know, you are a smart child."

The corners of Miao Li's mouth are deliberately bent upwards, so that she doesn't look so uncomfortable.She would rather not be smart at all than know the general idea.

The eldest princess knew that she would definitely feel very uncomfortable, so she didn't stay any longer, and left after getting the result she wanted. Miao Li didn't even stay with her for dinner.

Not wanting to worry Duke Ding and his wife, Miaoli went back to the house after lunch.Sitting blankly on the beauty's couch alone, embroidering her mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Good things take a long time, but when will it be a head, is it a good thing for her?

It's a good thing, Miao Li looked at her mandarin ducks playing in the water, at least her embroidery skills have indeed improved, at least it can be seen that these are two things with wings, and that's all.

The eldest princess returned to the capital and went straight to Zuo Xiangfu.It is impossible for anyone to give in completely, so one can only think of a compromise.

Zuo Xiang happened to be in the mansion today, and the butler in the mansion was already arranging things for the New Year, so it was a happy time.Zuo Xiang and Xu Meitang's father and daughter sat and sighed, what's the matter, the married daughter stays at home and doesn't leave, the expenses in the mansion are all the same, I really can't afford to lose this person.

Just sighing, the porter came to report that the eldest princess had come.Prime Minister Zuo asked people to come in quickly. Xu Meitang stood up and prepared to go back to the room. They might talk about important national affairs, so she avoided it for a while.
Prime Minister Zuo stopped her, "Don't avoid it, just let the eldest princess look at you." It can be regarded as a reminder to the eldest princess, otherwise she would forget that there is such a person, and delay again and again.Thinking about Zuo Xiang, he added, "Don't be afraid later, you can say whatever you want."

The Eldest Princess had already approached, just in time to hear what they said, and said coldly, "You really know how to teach!"

Prime Minister Zuo knelt on the ground and saluted, and said, "Greetings to Your Highness. It is the Crown Princess who has held back her grievances, and hiding them in her heart is not good for her health."

The eldest princess snorted coldly and said: "Everyone will be wronged when things like this happen, and she is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so I'm afraid she won't let herself be wronged."

Xu Meitang stood on the side with her head down, not daring to look at the eldest princess, not because she was embarrassed, but because she was afraid from the bottom of her heart. Her memory of the eldest princess was still at the time when the eldest princess vented her anger for Miao Li.

Prime Minister Zuo personally poured a cup of tea for the eldest princess, changed the subject, and asked, "Is there any news about the crown prince coming now, Your Highness?"

"Why are you in such a hurry, anyway, you have an imperial decree in your hand, it's very powerful, and you're afraid that we won't obey?"

Zuo Xiangqian laughed twice and said: "Where is your Highness, that is the meaning of the Holy Majesty, and what you do for the courtiers is to follow the holy order. Where is the prince?"

The old man was still in a hurry, the eldest princess spread her hands and said, "It's still the same. I just went there and saw that he smashed a lot of teacups and teacups." In order to achieve the goal, the eldest princess had to lie.

Zuo Xiang patted his thigh anxiously, and then frowned at the eldest princess, "Your Highness, you promised to be an official before, and you said you would be able to solve this matter years ago."

"I didn't say no, it's just that he is the prince after all, how can he be submissive if you force him so much?"

So there is hope, Prime Minister Zuo looked at the Eldest Princess and asked, "What does Your Highness mean?"

"It's better for one person to take a step back and endure a little bit so that everyone can be happy in the end."

The Prime Minister on the left still didn't quite understand, "Your Majesty is stupid, please explain clearly."

idiot!

The eldest princess cursed in her heart, and smiled on her face: "I remember that you were born as a scholar in the second list, and you have read a lot of sage books. Do you also believe what the witch said?"

"This..." Prime Minister Zuo probably understood what she meant, but the problem was with the witch, and he couldn't easily back down, "No matter what the sages say, the sage says yes."

"But now the Holy Majesty is lying in the Longde Palace without any consciousness, and everything is in the hands of the prince, so why don't you change to another person who believes?"

Zuo Xiang is still struggling, the matter is too big for him to make a decision lightly.

The eldest princess seemed to have some eyebrows, and continued: "The prince is determined not to be a prince now. You should find another family for your daughter as soon as possible."

Prime Minister Zuo glanced at Xu Meitang who was standing aside with lowered brows and pleasing eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, if we let that woman enter the East Palace, the Crown Princess can go back too?"

That's what it means, this is the final bottom line, otherwise Zhou Shuxuan will not compromise even if he falls out.

The eldest princess smiled gratifiedly, and said: "The old man can be taught, what do you think?"

Xu Meitang has been listening silently from the sidelines. They half understood the riddles before, but now they fully understand.Miao Li was really found, and Zhou Shuxuan really did this for Miao Li, and if Miao Li is not allowed to return to Zhou Shuxuan's side now, she can't even think about going back.

Xu Meitang had been silent all this time, but now he suddenly spoke up and said loudly: "No, that kind of person must never come to the Prince's side!"

Miao Li has gone back, what's the point of her going back again, being bullied as a princess, it's better to be out of sight.Thinking of Miaoli, Xu Meitang suddenly felt angry from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't suppress it no matter what.

It's okay to speak suddenly, the tone is not very kind, and it successfully angered the eldest princess.

The eldest princess said coldly: "Do you think you are still the crown princess now? You don't even look at yourself. After being driven back to your mother's house, you still have the face to point fingers here! All of this is your own fault, if it wasn't for that A child born in this world, why is the prince like this? I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t give birth well or my mother didn’t teach it well, or because your family’s Feng Shui is not good, and you are such a careless thing. It’s okay if you don’t grow up to your liking. Still nothing."

Xu Meitang was so aggrieved that she was about to cry when she heard all these words, it was obvious that Prime Minister Zuo told her to say whatever she wanted just now.Zuo Xiang couldn't lift his head up, he was ashamed and indignant, the eldest princess scolded him too harshly, and didn't save him any face.

The eldest princess had no more patience with a dark face, and said directly: "Just say yes or no, maybe there is still a chance of survival if you agree, or death if you don't agree."

In fact, Zuo Xiang had already thought about it just now. He saw Zhou Shuxuan's crazy appearance that day, he didn't doubt what the eldest princess said, and it was absolutely impossible to back down if he didn't agree with the prince.

"Just do as Your Highness wishes!"

Xu Meitang was aggrieved now, but still paid attention to the conversation between the two. Hearing that Prime Minister Zuo agreed, she called out again in a low voice, "Father..."

Absolutely can't agree, promise will only cause endless troubles, Zhou Shuxuan loves Miaoli so much, Miaoli went to the East Palace and whispered a few words in Zhou Shuxuan's ear, Zhou Shuxuan might kill her.

Prime Minister Zuo scolded, "Shut up!"

The Eldest Princess gave Xu Meitang a murderous look, and now she didn't bother with her any more, she stood up and was about to leave, "Then let's just say that, I'll leave first, and I'll let you know if there's any situation. Let me teach your daughter well, to be honest, I don’t blame the prince for being dissatisfied and liking others, I feel wronged for the prince with such a princess concubine!”

After speaking, the eldest princess left without looking back.

Xu Meitang couldn't bear it any longer, she crawled on the table and began to cry, she was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and she was also the head of the house when she got married, she has never been humiliated by words like this, not even the eldest princess!
"Daddy, you promised to let that woman return to the prince, why not just let me die!" Xu Meitang cried and complained.

"I have my own way. I promise that the woman won't be able to stay for a few days after she goes back, and let her leave obediently."
