concubines

Chapter 264

Time is running out at all, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is here in the blink of an eye.

The palace was extremely deserted, except for some moon cakes made by the Imperial Dining Room, there was no festive atmosphere in the palace.

The busiest place was the most remote Qingquan Palace, where Wu Yun and the two children were there, and Li Youfu also passed by, leading someone to make mooncakes.

"Qingxi, you played on the ground without washing your hands, so you can't touch that face." Li Youfu shouted while driving people out.

Qingxi looked up at her aggrieved, and said softly, "I just want to help."

Li Youfu snorted and said, "I don't want your help! Go out and don't block my work."

Qingxi left in despair, and ran to Miaoli to seek comfort, "Aunt, Aunt Fu won't play with me anymore."

Miao Li bent down and picked him up, asking, "What's wrong?"

"She wanted to play with me and I didn't give her the toy, so she ignored me." Qingxi hugged Miaoli and said, "I think I am good friends with her, but she just ignored me like that. so sad."

Miao Li held back her smile and said, "You are good friends with her, why don't you allow her to play with toys?"

"Because I want to leave it to Sister Shu'er, Aunt Fu will play badly. Besides, she is an adult, and mine are all children's things."

This villain is really interesting, and Miao Li seriously helped him find a way, saying: "Then you can give her something else and apologize to her, and you will still be good friends."

Qingxi came out of Miaoli's arms and asked, "I don't know what to give, Auntie, what do you girls like?"

Miao Li tilted her head and thought for a while, then replied seriously: "As long as you give it from your heart, I will like it."

Qingxi looked around the yard seriously, but couldn't find anything satisfactory, and then asked, "Auntie, can I go out to play? I want to go out and find something to give her."

Miao Li thought for a while, there were only a few people in the palace, and there was no palace banquet today, so there should be no one outside.She doesn't like to go out, and she hasn't even gone out with her children these days.Leaving aside Qingxi, he must be bored.

"Go, let Aunt Hong follow you, don't run away." Miao Li said to Xiao Hong again: "Don't be too tight on him, let him play as long as there is no danger."

"The servant knows."

Qingxi obediently went to hold Xiaohong's hand, and looked at Xiaohong and said, "Aunt Hong, I'll hold you, so I won't get lost."

Miao Li looked at the little person, her mouth now seemed to have been smeared with honey, she wondered how many little girls would be harmed when she grew up.

After carving toys for a while, Miao Li put down her hand and went to the kitchen when her hands hurt a little, and looked at the moon cakes that were already made, and said to Li Youfu: "I said I came to make moon cakes together, but you are actually the only one. People are busy. Thanks to you."

Li Youfu wrapped the glutinous rice balls and replied, "What did my sister say? It's not hard at all. How wonderful, I have never had a holiday like this, like a family together..."

Miao Li also felt a little happy in her heart, as the place became lively, her heart became more lively.It was like living a new life in the palace, as long as that person no longer appeared.

I used to plan his position every day for the rest of my life, and now I don't even want to look at him. I haven't experienced many things, but everything is unforgettable.

Both of his children are gone after being pregnant with him. This is probably their fate, and their fate is not going to get better.

It's best to be like this in the future, never to be together again, it makes people uncomfortable.

Miaoli washed her hands and helped Li Youfu make a few glutinous rice balls, but the big ones were big and the small ones were small, they were too ugly to put together.Miao Li herself stared at those glutinous rice balls in a daze, and then looked at Li Youfu's bag, and it became uglier and uglier by comparison.

For a long time, Miao Li rubbed her chin and said, "I can't cook well, and I can't embroider well. If a girl like me, I probably won't be able to get married."

Li Youfu said with a smile: "But my sister is already married. I am making clothes for my sister when I am good at embroidery, and I am working as a cook for my sister if I am good at cooking."

Miao Li laughed mockingly, and said in a low voice, "What kind of marriage is this?"

This can only count... don't know what counts.

Li Youfu glanced at her secretly, didn't dare to say anything, and silently made her own glutinous rice balls.

The atmosphere in the room was not very good. After a while of silence, Qingxi suddenly rushed in from outside, hugged Li Youfu's thigh, and raised a bouquet of small flowers in front of her with the other hand, "Aunt Fu, this is a gift for you." For you."

Li Youfu snorted, and turned her head away from him, "You cheapskate, it's useless to send flowers, I won't play with you if I say I won't play with you."

"I'm not a cheapskate, I'll send you flowers. Don't you say that girls will be happy when they receive flowers? Why are you still unhappy?"

Li Youfu was originally just teasing him, but she couldn't bear it even more when she heard other people's brats say these words, and she tried her best to hold back her smile and asked: "Who taught you this? Are you a big villain, teaching bad children! "

"My uncle taught me."

When Li Youfu heard him say "uncle", the smile on her face froze, and she looked back at Miaoli.

As if she didn't hear anything, Miao Li bowed her head and continued to compete with the glutinous rice balls in her hand, making sure to wrap them in a round shape.Just as Li Youfu was about to say something, she suddenly saw someone more at the door, and hurriedly saluted, "Greetings to the emperor."

Miao Li's hands stiffened for a moment, and then she continued to make her own glutinous rice balls.

Qingxi opened his eyes wide, his little head kept shaking, looked at the adults in the room, and then asked innocently, "Auntie, did you quarrel with uncle?"

Li Youfu hugged Qingxi and left, saying as she walked: "Don't worry about adults' affairs, children, go and bring me your toys to play with, or I'll ignore you."

There were only the two of them in the room, and the atmosphere was even more awkward than before.Zhou Shuxuan felt that he didn't know how to put his hands and feet. After a long time, he found a sentence, "Are you making glutinous rice balls?"

Miao Li didn't answer anything, as if she couldn't see because she had eyes, she had nothing to say.

There was nothing to say, but Zhou Shuxuan said dryly: "It's good to make glutinous rice balls, and you should eat glutinous rice balls during the festival."

Miao Li still ignored him.

Zhou Shuxuan himself felt bored, but he was still trying to speak, "I met Qingxi outside, and he forced me to come here. It would be bad if I didn't come here." I didn't come here on purpose to disturb you.

Miao Li snorted coldly and said, "That's really embarrassing the emperor. It's because the concubine neglected her duty and failed to teach her mother's family well."

"I..." was not forced, but wished for.Zhou Shu swallowed his words again, she wouldn't listen to what he said anyway, and finally said, "I'm leaving first, you have a good holiday."

If you don't come, I can have a good holiday. If you come, everything will be ruined.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't even get an extra look, and left with his head down.Walking to the door, Qingxi just saw him, ran out, and asked foolishly, "Uncle, aren't you going to celebrate the festival with us? My father said that the family will be reunited during the festival."

Zhou Shuxuan glanced in the direction of the kitchen, with a wry smile on his face, he lowered his head and touched Qingxi's head, "Uncle still has some things to do, we'll be together later."

"But there are so many delicious foods today, you won't be able to eat them later."

"There will be some in the future." He didn't believe it himself.

"Okay then." Qingxi felt that he was about to lose face, let go of him and said, "Then you wait here for a while."

After finishing speaking, he bounced back to the kitchen, picked up the mooncake from the plate on tiptoe, ran back again, and stuffed the mooncake into Zhou Shuxuan's hand. "The round white thing doesn't seem to be ready yet, so I can only give you this yellow one."

Zhou Shuxuan stared blankly at the mooncake in his hand, then smiled wryly and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, I'll come over to play in the future."

Zhou Shuxuan patted his head again, and promised, "I will definitely come over to play in the future."

Then he walked out with heavy steps, and when he went out, Gao Fu wanted to take the mooncake from his hand.

Zhou Shuxuan dodged it, and put the cake in his mouth directly. After biting down, the sweet and greasy taste spread out in his mouth, but left behind a faint bitter taste.

After biting it, he asked Gao Fu beside him, "Will my child be as smart and cute as that?"

Gao Fu replied: "The emperor's prince will definitely be smarter and more lovely."

Zhou Shuxuan took another bite of the mooncake, lowered his head and said, "Actually, that is enough."

In Qingquan Palace, after Zhou Shuxuan left, Qingxi stood at the door without moving. Li Youfu thought it was too strange, so she went over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"My dad told me before that some people look uglier when they laugh than when they cry. I never knew what it was like, but now I seem to know."

Other people's smiles are sweet, but the uncle's smile just now was a little strange.

Li Youfu agreed with what he said in her heart, but she couldn't express it in her mouth. She changed the subject and said, "You seem to know everything. Now I wonder if you are a child."

Qingxi patted herself on the head and said, "I'm called innately intelligent. Of course Aunt Fu is so stupid that she doesn't know."

The world has changed, and she is actually despised by a child.Li Youfu grabbed Qingxi and tickled him non-stop, and asked while scratching, "Who is stupid? Who is stupid?"

Qingxi's little arms and legs were powerless to resist and had to beg for mercy, "Qingxi is stupid, Qingxi is stupid."

Only then did Li Youfu let him go, Qingxi ran out of her arms in an instant, and made faces at her after running away, "It's Aunt Fu who is stupid, and Qingxi is incredibly smart."

Li Youfu was so angry that she went to grab him again, and Qingxi giggled as she ran.

The laughter outside spread into the kitchen, but Miao Li couldn't laugh anymore.

These days, because the children are more happy, they are now gone, and there is only a stomach full of discomfort.

I thought I could get rid of it, but now I gave her a blow to the head and told her that it was impossible, and told her that she would not get better.

The memory is still there, the feeling is still there, and so is the pain.
