concubines

Chapter 204 Six Sister-in-Law
After Zhou Shuxuan finished his business, when he returned to the room, he saw Miao Li's eyes were red, as if she had cried.He stepped forward and asked, "What happened? Did your aunt bully you? Why are you crying?"

"Your Highness is very kind to me, so you won't bully me." Miao Li touched her eyes, and then said: "I just mentioned to His Highness that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I think that during the New Year's Day, the whole family will be reunited. My only I myself feel a little uncomfortable."

Zhou Shuxuan comforted her, "Why are you alone? Am I not a human being? And Ding Guogong and the others, we will all be by your side."

Miao Li looked at him, shook her head and said, "It's different."

Zhou Shuxuan must have missed her relatives, so she said: "If you really miss them, you can take the time to go out and worship them."

The emperor showed mercy at that time and allowed his father-in-law and mother-in-law to be buried in the suburbs of Beijing.

"Is it really possible?" Miao Li asked in surprise.

Zhou Shuxuan asked, "Why not?"

Miao Li told the truth, "Because I feel like I'm in a big cage when I come back with you, and there are not many opportunities to get out."

This big yard has buried the youth of many girls.

Others may be like this, but she is not. Zhou Shuxuan said: "How is it possible? If you want to go out, you can go out quietly, but you have to tell me in advance, and you can't go out alone. Just for the sake of safety, you have to follow people around you. "

Miao Li is extremely happy, as long as she is allowed to go out.She would go to visit the grave every year, but she didn't go last year, and she felt uncomfortable for a long time. She thought she would not be able to go this year.

Zhou Shuxuan suddenly remembered something again, "Didn't you say that you still have relatives? I sent people out to look for them, and tried to find them back before the year, so that you can reunite, so you don't have to suffer here."

Miao Li was even happier, "Okay, His Highness also said to help me find it just now." Miao Li was so excited that tears were about to come out, and she never thought that such a day would exist.I feel that my life is going to be complete, but I can be with the person I like and have a family reunion.

Zhou Shuxuan hugged her with a smile, lowered his head and asked, "Is it that simple for you to be happy?"

"I am happy and happy, of course I am happy."

Zhou Shuxuan hugged her and shook her, hoping that she would be so happy forever.

A few days later, Xu Meitang came back.He came back early before he had copied enough scriptures, and the New Year was coming soon, Zhou Shuxuan was going to sacrifice to the heavens instead of the emperor, and Xu Meitang, as the crown princess, was going to accompany him.Even if Zhou Shuxuan was unwilling in every possible way, he had to let her go.Otherwise, Prime Minister Zuo would instigate the Ministry of Rites and hand him one book after another, saying that it is not in compliance with the rules? .

Miaoli got up early, waited for Zhou Shuxuan to change her clothes, and watched her go out.Before Zhou Shuxuan left, he was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, and he said a lot to her.It's not that Miao Li has no tolerance at all. Knowing that he did it as a last resort, of course she won't be angry.

Zhou Shuxuan seemed still worried, and called Li Youfu to come and accompany her.

Sometimes he takes himself too seriously and takes care of her so well that Miao Li can't laugh or cry.Knowing that he cares about himself is too disturbing in a way that can be expressed.

Li Youfu asked while eating snacks: "Sister, are you unhappy?"

That's what one person said.Miao Li asked: "No, why do you ask that?"

Li Youfu explained seriously, "Thinking that His Highness and the Crown Princess went out to sacrifice to heaven, the person standing next to him should be you, so I'm not happy."

For this stupid person, Miao Li stuffed another piece of snack into her mouth and said deliberately: "I wasn't sad at first, but I was sad when you reminded me like this."

Li Youfu quickly covered her mouth, as if she had caused some catastrophe.

Seeing her nervous appearance, Miao Li was secretly happy in her heart, Zhu'er suddenly came in and said: "Miss, the Sixth Young Master is here to give the girl New Year's goods, would you like to see her?"

Logically speaking, it should be impossible to see, but it seems too far-fetched to not see.When she was in trouble, people helped her like that, but refused to see her when she returned to Zhou Shuxuan's side, which is really chilling.

"Let Eunuch Gao lead him in, it must be Eunuch Gao." Zhou Shuxuan didn't restrict her in particular, but she herself had to know how to behave.

Zhu'er responded and went out. Li Youfu gnawed on the cake and asked, "Sister, who is the sixth son?"

"It's Duke Ding's Sixth Young Master. I am now the young lady of Duke Ding's family, and he is my sixth brother."

Li Youfu opened her mouth wide in surprise, "There are actually six children in their family, and with you, there will be seven, so happy."

It doesn’t seem to be the case. There are too many people and Miaoli can’t remember it. She smiled and said, “Actually, there are not only six children in their family, but more than ten.”

Li Youfu was even more surprised. He was the only one in her family, and she was sent to Qin Palace when she was very young. She really didn't know what it was like to have brothers and sisters.

Miao Li suddenly remembered, took the pastry from her mouth and said, "By the way, you go to the back to avoid it."

After saying this, it was too late, Qu Xingeng had already entered the door, Li Youfu just took a look out and saw him.

The person who came out of her dream, since the last time I saw him at the gate of Prince Qin's mansion, Li Youfu never thought that she would see him again.On the contrary, I have seen him countless times in my dream, and seeing him again now seems to be fate.

Seeing that she was in a daze, Miao Li patted her lightly again, "Fu'er, let you go to the back to avoid it."

Li Youfu slowly reached out and grabbed Miaoli's hand, and said blankly: "Sister, don't avoid it, it's him."

What was this silly girl talking about, Qu Xingeng had already walked into the room, Miao Li went up to meet her, blessed Fu's body and shouted: "Sixth brother."

Qu Xingeng pretended to return a gift to her, "How dare you be a mother's gift?"

Miao Li didn't tease him either, and asked with a smile, "Are parents okay?"

"The body is fine, but the eyes are not working well. Thinking that you will not be able to celebrate the New Year with them this year, your eyes are almost blind from crying. After you appeared, it seemed that our sons were all picked up and worthless."

Miao Li smiled again and said, "Maybe it's because rare things are more expensive."

"That's the truth. If it wasn't for the prince, they wouldn't let you back. Didn't it make me pull a big cart over for you, food, clothing, and things to play with? At home They have done it countless times, knowing that you don't need anything, yet they insisted on sending me over."

The old couple really loved her as their own daughter, Miao Li was talking to him, and asked Xiaohong to take some things from the storeroom to bring back to Qu Xingeng.While Qu Xingeng was waiting, he found a little girl opposite him staring straight at him.She is also a girl from a wealthy family by her attire, so anyone who can play here in Miaoli should have an extraordinary status.

Qu Xingeng also took a look at her, but he didn't take it seriously.After getting the things, Qu Xingeng said some more polite words and left.Li Youfu watched him disappear from sight all the time, but she still hasn't recovered.

Something seemed very wrong, this time Miao Li didn't ask for her opinion, and directly pulled her to the back.Thinking of what she said just now, it was even more wrong.So calm yourself down and ask, "What did you mean by that sentence?"

Li Youfu seemed to be still thinking about Qu Xingeng, she was dazed for a while, and then she said to Miaoli: "I just fell in love with that person just now, and I want to marry him."

Miao Li was drinking water and almost spit out when she heard her words, why don't you be so straightforward.Miao Li wiped the water from her mouth, and asked again uncertainly, "What did you say?!"

Li Youfu replied with incomparable certainty, her eyes filled with firmness, "I said I want to marry him, and I want to be your sixth sister-in-law."

Miao Li frowned and looked at her, the world seemed to freeze.She did promise Li Youfu before that she would marry someone else, but she didn't expect it to come so soon, which made her a little uncomfortable at first.

She didn't speak for a long time, but Li Youfu's serious face suddenly drooped, and she said aggrievedly: "Sister, can't you? You clearly promised me before."

Qu Xingeng is not married now, logically speaking, he can marry any woman in the world, but... Miao Li glanced at Li Youfu, and sorted out what she wanted to say in her head.After a long time, he said: "Yes, as long as he is willing, I will help you as I said."

Thinking about Zhou Shuxuan's current attitude, he doesn't seem to have any feelings for Li Youfu, and only regards her as a younger sister. If he thinks of ways, he should be able to succeed.

Li Youfu still had a small face drooping, leaned on the chair and said with a faint cry: "That means he may not want to. But I really like him, I liked him the first time I saw him , I have dreamed of him many times."

As if revealing some information, Miao Li asked, "Is this not the first time you've seen him?"

"No, the last time he and another person sent you back, I saw him once through the crack of the door, and my heart was pounding at that time. This is the so-called love at first sight."

What a sin, Miao Li covered her face, unable to believe that she was their matchmaker.

Li Youfu sighed again, and asked, "Sister, is it possible that he will never like me?"

Miao Li looked at her pitiful appearance, and she couldn't say anything cruel, so she could only try her best to be subtle and pertinent: "Perhaps it is possible. After all, with your current status, no matter what you are inside, you are still a prince from the outside world. His concubine. He is also from the Zanying family, and he is still an official in the court, so..."

It’s hard for Miao Li to be too straightforward, let alone whether Qu Xingeng really has feelings for her, just say that if she is with her, it is very likely that he will not be able to be an official, and the family will be convicted. Unlikely.

"Sister, I understand." Li Youfu took a deep breath, as if holding back tears.

Miao Li is in a difficult situation now, with Li Youfu on one side and Qu Xingeng on the other, she really doesn't know how to do it well.
