concubines

Chapter 205
In the end, Miao Li couldn't make any promises, things were too difficult.Li Youfu went back dejectedly, and did not blame Miaoli.

When Zhou Shu Xuan Jitian came back, he saw her sitting quietly on the couch, not knowing what she was thinking.Walking over with light steps, he asked, "Why are you in a daze?"

"It's nothing." Miao Li didn't dare to say that to him now, and said a few words indiscriminately to cover it up, "Maybe I'm sleepy in the house every day, and my spirit is not good."

Zhou Shuxuan tilted his head and looked at her a few times. His complexion was indeed pale, but it seemed that she had always been like this, and she looked extremely haggard, so he said, "Didn't you say that you want to go out to worship? What day did you choose?"

Miao Li stretched slightly, then shook her head, and asked, "I haven't made up my mind yet, what day do you think will be good?"

"I... I don't know. It depends on you. Any day is fine. You seem to be lazy these days, and you don't seem to like thinking about things anymore. You don't even think about these things early."

Miao Li leaned against him and rubbed against him lightly, then said with a smile, "I'm always lazy and not diligent at all. I used to be forced to do nothing, but now that someone pampers me, I must be lazy."

In the past, I had to think about something by myself in order to earn a way out for myself.Now it's fine to cry and make a fuss, and I will definitely ignore everything.The so-called strength is also the strength that is forced out. There are really people who spoil her and want to be a soft little girl.

Zhou Shuxuan looked at her dotingly, with her acting like a baby leaning in his arms today, no matter how many things he did that were not understood by the eyes of the world, he would never regret it.

"Then for the next two days, I'll let Gao Fu and the others prepare. It's cold outside. When you go out, you should be careful and wear more clothes. Maybe the road is icy, so don't run around." Then there was endless chatter It's over.

Miao Li couldn't listen anymore, so she interrupted him, "Okay, I know. I'm not really a child, so I can take care of myself."

Now that he thinks he talks too much, Zhou Shuxuan doesn't speak anymore.I think when she was a child, she must have been soft and sticky, not to mention how cute she was.If Meng Qianfan had agreed to the emperor's marriage proposal that day, they would not have traveled such a long way.

Xu Meitang waited and watched for several days, but did not find a suitable opportunity to find Miaoli.Miao Li was afraid of the cold, so she didn't go out much, just stayed in the room every day to read idle books and so on.Zhou Shuxuan issued another death order to Xu Meitang, and she was not allowed to approach the Ciqing Palace, there was no chance at all.

Xu Meitang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, circling around the room non-stop.Seeing that Zhou Shuxuan and Miao Li stayed together, it would be even more difficult if Miao Li was pregnant with a child.

After turning around the house a few times, Nanny Sun rushed in from the outside, "Your Majesty, I have a chance. That bitch seems to have packed up her things and left the palace. If she stops her when she comes back, your Majesty will not be disobedient." The prince's words."

That's it. After waiting for a long time, I finally got such an opportunity. As long as I talk to Miao Li, their plan can be implemented.

Miao Li went out to worship her ancestors today, and let Xiao Hong and Zhu Er wrap her up into a fat ball.I wear too many clothes on my body, and I need someone to support me when I walk on the road, otherwise I really can't stand stably.As she was walking, a person who looked like a court lady suddenly rushed out in front of her, and knelt down directly in front of her.The movement was so fast that Miao Li felt that she had slipped over.

"Are you okay?" Xiaohong went up and asked.

The palace maid grabbed Xiao Hong's hand and stood up, keeping her head down and saying: "Your maidservant is fine."

"Be careful from now on, don't slip and fall again." Miao Li warned, and suddenly felt that this person looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

The lady-in-waiting replied and left, still bowing her head.

Xiaohong spread out her palm and put the note inside in front of Miaoli, which was given by the person just now.Miao Li didn't open it at that time, but opened it after she got out of the East Palace and got on the carriage. There was only a line of small characters written on it, "Girl, the Crown Princess wants to harm you, be careful."

The person who came to deliver the letter to her, Miao Li thought about it for a while, as if she remembered who that person was just now.Xu Meitang's personal maid, Xiangfeng.Miao Li thanked her for her kindness, but there was only one problem, Xu Meitang wanted to harm her, she could think of it, but she didn't know what method the one who didn't have a long memory would do.

Forget it, no matter what method Xu Meitang uses, she is not afraid, just say hello.

It is a long way to go from the East Palace to the suburbs of Beijing, and the Dengshi Street is where the excitement is.Miaoli saw that Zhu'er was looking outside from time to time, so she said, "You might as well open the curtain, I want to look outside too."

"Thank you, miss." Zhu'er happily opened the curtain.

As soon as the curtain was opened, it was like an appointment, and there was such a magical thing.Miao Li glanced outside and saw a familiar face, which she hadn't seen for more than half a year.

Lu Guangbai was sitting at a street stall, with some bottles and cans in front of him, probably selling pills.Miao Li quickly asked someone to stop the car, walked to the stall, pretended not to know her, and asked, "What are these medicines for?"

"There are those for strengthening the body, promoting blood circulation and beautifying the skin, removing dampness and cold, all of them cost ten cents a bottle. If you want more...they will all be given to you." Lu Guangbai looked up and saw her.

Seeing that he also recognized herself, Miao Li got up with a bottle of pills, and asked with a smile, "How did you get to this point? Start selling pills for a living?"

"I was also forced to take this road. You don't know the master's temper. When he cleaned up the house, he found a lot of medicinal materials, so he had a whim to refine them all into pills, and asked me to take them. Come to the city to sell. He doesn't think about who will buy medicine for Chinese New Year. I have been blowing the cold wind here for several days." After Lu Guangbai finished talking, he looked at her again, "How are you doing? , and the prince... how is the prince?"

Zhu'er followed beside her, and Lu Guangbai seemed to be very familiar with Miao Li.

Miao Li smiled and said: "That's it, he treats me very well now."

What's the use of being very good, the princess Lu Guangbai heard was not her.But it's not easy to say this in front of her, "It's fine, he said that I can have a drink with him when I come to Beijing. Please help me to ask when he is free."

"As long as you go there, he's free anytime."

Lu Guangbai glanced at her again, picked up a bottle of medicine from the table and said, "Your complexion is pale, the sides of your nose are blue, and you obviously lack energy and blood. Take this three pills a day with warm water. After you go back Sleep well and don't think too much about it."

Miaoli took the medicine and couldn't laugh or cry, "There is no one like you who treats people directly after meeting."

Zhu'er took it casually, and even more believed that Miao Li and Lu Guangbai had a good relationship, and secretly kept it in her heart.

"I'm used to it." Lu Guangbai saw that the carriage and many people were still following her, thinking that she must have something to do, "Do what you have to do first, I will live in Dongsheng Inn. If you have time, get together with you two Come here together, even if you don’t have time.”

"If you don't have time, you have to find some time." There is still a long way to go to the suburbs of Beijing, and there is really no delay, "Then I will go first."

"Let's go." Just as Miao Li got into the carriage, Lu Guangbai suddenly stopped her again, "Liu'er is learning to speak now, and will call her Daddy."

Miao Li's heart seemed to be stabbed by something, and she immediately calmed down and said, "That's great, I really want to see him."

Then he turned around and got into the carriage without saying anything.When she took care of Liu'er before, she really took care of him as her own child, and she was always thinking about what kind of wife she would marry him in the future.Only now did I realize that the child's future life had little to do with her.

If something that shouldn't have happened hadn't happened, her child should be in her arms in a few months. Just thinking about it makes her feel uncomfortable.

Holding the medicine bottle in her hand, Zhu'er asked, as if chatting with Miao Li, "Girl, who is that man? He looks so handsome."

Zhu'er was just at the right age, and when she was talking about kissing, Miao Li smiled and said: "I'm an old friend, a doctor, very skilled in medicine, if you like me, I'll introduce you to you. Be like your sister Xiaohong, When you see it, just say it.”

Xiaohong blushed as she spoke, lowered her head and called to her, "Girl!"

Miao Li suppressed a smile in her heart, she was shy again now, but she was not shy at all before.

All the way to the outskirts of Beijing, there was a heavy snowfall just now, and the sky and the earth were all white. Miao Li found the two graves after careful identification.It has been deserted for a year or two, and no one has come to take care of it, and the grave is covered with weeds.Miao Li looked very sour in her heart. In the final analysis, it was her lack of filial piety that made her parents' graves like this.

Passing the muff to the side, he picked up the knife in the guard's hand, and cleaned up the grave with his hands red from the cold.Others can be done by others, these must be done by ourselves.

After cleaning up, they sacrificed a few glasses of wine at the grave, kowtowed a few times, and then rushed back, otherwise they would not be able to catch up with closing the city gate, and Miao Li would not even be able to speak to them.

I feel very guilty in my heart, thinking that I must move this grave back in the future.

Back in the East Palace, it was almost dark.After nightfall, it became colder and colder, Miaoli was afraid that the people who followed her would be frozen, so she quickened her pace to rush to Ciqing Palace.

Turning another corner is the Ciqing Palace, a few people suddenly appeared in front of her and stopped her, and when she looked up, it was Xu Meitang.

Thinking of Xiangfeng Bairi's note, she couldn't have done it so soon.Miao Li is in a hurry to go back now, and has no time to argue with her.So they let people step aside and let Xu Meitang get out of the way.

Xu Meitang originally thought that she would not give way, so he just took advantage of this to find trouble, and then took her to a secluded place and told her about those things.Unexpectedly, people would not block her, and the plan failed from the first step.

Xu Meitang took a step forward, looking for trouble and said, "What's the matter with the girl today? She seems to be a different person, and she knows to give way to my palace. The prince has taught you how to behave these few days, right?"

Miao Li showed a smile on her face and said, "Regardless of whether it is true or not, you are now the Crown Princess, so of course I have to make way for you."

"you!"

Miaoli straightened her waist, said with disdain in her eyes: "Don't you, I don't know you that well. The crown prince is coming to pick me up soon, do you want to get out of the way?"

Xu Meitang let out a long breath of anger, she was really no match for him.Xu Meitang was afraid of seeing Zhou Shuxuan, so she didn't dare to stay here for a long time, so she just took her away and left. We will talk about those things later.

How could Zhou Shuxuan come to pick her up, it was just to scare Xu Meitang, seeing her fleeing back, Miao Li was also speechless, wondering what she was up to.

The days in winter are inherently short, and the day passes like this.Back in the room it was warmer, and she didn't need to wear extra thick clothes, Zhu Er helped her take off her clothes, and the bottle of medicine in the clothes fell out.

It just so happened that Zhou Shuxuan came in from the outside at this time, picked up the bottle of medicine, held it in his hand, looked at it twice, and asked, "Is there anything uncomfortable?"
