concubines

Chapter 271
After that, Zhou Shuxuan leaned on the chair and did not move like an old monk.

Gao Fu looked anxiously at the side, knowing that he must be thinking about the imperial concubine with his appearance, so he didn't dare to shout at all, even if he knew that there was someone waiting in Qinzheng Hall.He could only urge the imperial physician to get a result as soon as possible, otherwise he didn't know when he would think about it.

Fortunately, it didn't take long this time, and the people who went to Concubine Wan came back soon.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan is indeed ill. She developed a high fever when she returned home. She was already unconscious. When the slaves left, they were just going to ask for the imperial physician. After seeing it, the imperial physician said that it was due to wind-cold and excessive worry, so the illness kept coming back and forth. Well, it will take a while to get better."

If you're really sick, it's not easy to handle.

Zhou Shuxuan thought about it for a while, and said to Gao Fu: "For the sake of her illness, it is enough to deduct half a year's medical bills and seize the title."

He can't do too much. If Geng Qingru killed the prince, he would be killed if he was killed. No one dared to say anything.However, Lin Yanchi only made a few gossips, and the punishment should not be so severe.

Just so casual?
Gao Fu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you have a reason?"

Zhou Shuxuan snorted softly, "The reason is like a mirror in her heart."

"Your Majesty, the slave is not... said that Concubine Wan wants a reason, I'm afraid the clan's mansion needs a reason."

Zhou Shuxuan rolled his eyes and said, "Can I manage them? I need a reason for them to come to me!"

The emperor is good when he is good, and he does not dare to kill people when he is bad.Gao Fu swallowed the words again, and said silently in his heart, it is not good for you to be so capricious, Your Majesty.

In Qingquan Palace, Miao Li also found out that Lin Yanchi was ill, and always felt a little strange.It's not that everyone hasn't been sick, and when they are sick, they feel unwell, and whoever still has the mood to go shopping outside.You can still say those things in front of children after shopping, and there will be problems at first glance.

Anyway, she didn't quite believe it was unintentional.

"Is there any intention from Longde Hall?" Miao Li asked.

Xiao Zhuozi replied: "It seems that she was fined for half a year and then lost her title. Now she is Concubine Lin."

That's fine, as long as she has been punished, she doesn't need to do anything else.After all, it is not a particularly bad thing, at least Meng Runlin will not persuade her anymore, let alone focus on Zhou Shuxuan.

But it seems that Lin Yanchi is really not a good stubble.

Qingxi had already been coaxed, stopped crying, brought a few pieces of snacks to Miaoli, put them near her mouth and said, "Auntie, eat, don't starve."

Miao Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the incident was over, she wasn't hungry at all now, but she still took a bite cooperatively.

Qingxi looked at her with red eyes, and said very seriously: "With Qingxi here, I won't let my aunt go hungry again."

Miaoli smiled and picked him up, saying, "Auntie, remember, I'll ask Qingxi for something to eat when I'm hungry."

"There's also my aunt's child... But Qingxi doesn't know how she got here, and how she gave her aunt a child."

This statement almost drew Miao Li's tears, and she forced a smile and replied: "The child comes from two adults who like each other very much. So you have no way to return the child of aunt, so you don't need to worry about it."

Qingxi asked in a daze, "Where did that aunt's child go?"

"My aunt doesn't know either." Miao Li shook her head lightly, "Maybe she crossed a small bridge and went to someone else's house." She will never come back again.

"Will the aunt have other children?"

Miao Li's smile froze on her face, and it took a long time before she said, "No more."

There must be two adults who like each other very much, but the two adults are still there, but it is a pity that they no longer like each other.

Miao Li really couldn't continue talking about this topic. It was rare that she didn't want to play with Qingxi anymore, but went back to her room to sleep. After sleeping, it was dark. After a few mouthfuls of food, she went back to sleep. She didn't say a few words all afternoon. talk.

Wu Yun hugged the child and asked Xiaohong, "Did sister live like this every day before?"

Xiao Hong nodded and said: "It's almost the same, I don't speak a few words a day. Apart from eating, I spend more than half of the time sleeping. Sometimes when I see her leaning on the couch with her eyes closed, the slaves want to sniff her." .”

Wu Yun was still very reluctant to bear the child before, thinking why Miao Li was in a bad mood and wanted to keep her child.It is also understandable now. Knowing those things, you know that Miao Li's life is really sad.

In the next few days, Miao Li's mood was not as good as the previous few days, she was indifferent to everything, and she was distracted from time to time even holding the baby.Xiaohong and the others looked like they were going to beat Lin Yanchi for a while, they finally got better, and this happened again.

"Auntie, do you think it's written like this?" Qingxi brought the crooked characters in front of Miaoli and said.

Last time Miao Li said that Meng Runlin had been writing since he was a little older than him, and this little man remembered it in his heart, and yelled for Miao Li to teach him how to write.

Qingxi shouted for a long time before Miaoli came back to her senses and looked down.She really didn't know how to evaluate it. For such a young child, being able to write it was already pretty good.

Miao Li smiled and said perfunctorily, "Very good."

Qingxi looked at his own, then at Miaoli's, and said, "But it's not as beautiful as my aunt's."

"You are still young, don't worry."

Qingxi pouted and said, "I'm not a child anymore, if my aunt treats me like a child again, I will be angry."

Miao Li is not in the mood to coax him anymore, she doesn't know what's wrong, as if she can't cheer up anything.

Miao Li was just about to ask someone to remove the things, but she looked up and saw Gao Fu walking in with a smile.Just enter the door and salute, "Greetings to the empress."

It's right to be angry if you don't reach out to hit the smiling face. His master has nothing to do with Gao Fu.Miao Li still gave him some face, and asked lightly: "Grandpa Gao, what's the matter?"

"Going back to your majesty, Lord Wei Hai returned to Beijing a few days ago, and brought a few boxes of rouge to your majesty, and the emperor asked his servants to bring them over." After speaking, he handed over the rouge.

Miao Li didn't even look at it, and asked the person next to her to take it.

Gao Fu was prepared in his heart, he was no longer surprised by her indifferent attitude, and still smiled and said: "The people of Qin Tianjian have already counted the days, and everything is suitable for this month's 28th. So I give it to Mr. Meng The erection of the stele is set on this day, and the emperor has written the inscription on the stele with his own hands, and the empress will be allowed to go out of the palace to watch the ceremony at that time."

Miaoli reacted a little at this time, and asked coldly: "My father has a son and descendants, and the son is not illiterate, so it is the son who should write the inscription. Why did outsiders intervene?"

What he said, he almost pointed his nose at Zhou Shuxuan and scolded Zhou Shuxuan for what you are.

Fortunately, Zhou Shuxuan had thought of this a long time ago, otherwise Gao Fuzhen would have been questioned, "This time there are two monuments engraved, one is the tombstone set up by the uncle, and the other is the epitaph written by the emperor, which is regarded as a compliment from the court. .”

Miao Li took a deep breath and swallowed the words that are not rare.The commendation given by the imperial court is still very valuable, and it is a reputation of being famous.Speaking of which, Meng Qianfan is still the first minister in the history of the emperor to write the epitaph by himself. It is not easy, and it cannot be ruined because of her.

He kept telling himself that it was given by the emperor, not by Zhou Shuxuan, and all he wanted was his identity.

After enduring it, Miao Li said to Gao Fu again: "Understood, thank you, father-in-law." She waved again and asked someone to take the reward.

Qingxi came over and hugged Miaoli's leg and asked, "Auntie, what is rouge? What is an inscription?"

Miaoli handed the rouge to Qingxi in front of Gao Fu, and said very nonchalantly, "It's just junk, useless like gouache."

Qingxi waved his hands and stepped back, saying, "Then Qingxi doesn't want it, it's dirty."

Miao Li patted his head in relief and said: "Yes, it was a good thing, but it is dirty after being changed hands. We don't want it."

Gao Fu didn't dare to say anything, it was her, if someone else said these few words, they would lose their heads countless times.

Gao Fu was thinking about Miaoli and Zhou Shuxuan all the way back. He felt that the two of them would definitely have endless troubles for a while. No matter what the emperor did, Miaoli would not buy it, which was too difficult.

Back at Longde Hall, Zhou Shuxuan seemed to be waiting for him, seeing him back, he hurriedly asked, "How is it, what did she say?"

"My lady just asked about the inscription. After the servant returned as the emperor said, my lady didn't say anything. But the young master asked what is rouge, and my lady said that it was all tattered like gouache, and then said it was a good thing." , it will get dirty if someone turns it around.”

After Gao Fu finished speaking, he secretly took a look at Zhou Shuxuan, and he really saw that he was in a daze.

In the past, it was said that the first emperor was a loving emperor, and after so many years, he still thought of the queen, but it seems that this is the case.Although the first emperor missed the empress, it didn't delay him from having children with other empresses.

Look at this one again, determined to hang himself on a tree.

Zhou Shuxuan supported his head and said, "Go out, I will stay alone for a while."

I don't know if she mentioned it on purpose or just mentioned it, but Zhou Shuxuan's heart felt cold when he heard the gouache.

I still remember that a long time ago, in order to pretend to be sick in front of the first emperor, Miao Li used powder to whiten his face.After he returned to the palace, he gave her a box of powder. She was very reluctant to accept it. It was the first time he gave her anything, including rewards.

If she is intentional now, she will not only deny what he is doing now, but also deny their past together.But such a smart person, every word he said was carefully thought out, how could it be unintentional.

It's been so long, and he has done a lot of things to make up for it, but not only did things not develop in a good direction, but they were getting worse and worse.

Zhou Shuxuan felt a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart, and he was probably ready to spend the rest of his life pleasing him.
