concubines

Chapter 300
Meng Runlin entered the palace the next day.

First went to Qingquan Palace and gave Qingxi a good beating, and then went to Qinzheng Hall.

I never thought that I could meet Zhou Shuxuan, he is just an ordinary person.Without Miao Li's identity, it is not easy to meet the emperor.

Coming over is just a symbolic visit, which means that he has come to say thank you, and it is not rude.Then he just went back to Qingquan Palace and beat Qingxi again, that child really deserved to be beaten.

Who would have thought that Zhou Shuxuan would let Gao Fu in after he had reported at the door.This was a bit beyond Meng Runlin's expectation, he hesitated at the door for a while before going in.

I don't know how to face him, and I don't have any good feelings for him now, but I can't act too much, Miao Li still has to live in the palace.He was more impulsive when he came back, but he can calm down now.

In the past, I occasionally treated Zhou Shuxuan as a brother-in-law, but later I realized that there is no such thing as a brother-in-law, only the emperor forever.

Meng Runlin kowtowed when he entered the door, Zhou Shuxuan asked him to get up, and asked someone to bring him a stool.

Zhou Shuxuan knew it would be like this, even if he saved the child, Miao Li would not come to see him, he never thought of going to the door to thank him, she always had a way to shirk it.

Meng Runlin was respectful and polite, and said: "I really want to thank the emperor this time, the child has caused trouble for the emperor by being mischievous."

Zhou Shuxuan replied casually: "It's nothing, it's just a little effort, and I just met him on the way. I'm afraid your sister is worried. That child is indeed a bit naughty, but he is very smart and seems to have great strength."

His attitude... seems to be the same as before.Meng Runlin was a little confused, not to mention that he would be angry, but he always felt that he should be colder.After all, there are already so many concubines in his palace, and Miao Li is no longer his only one, so there is no need to value them so much.

Meng Runlin smiled politely and replied: "My sister is really in a hurry. So I still have to thank the emperor for his help so that the two children can be safe."

Zhou Shuxuan looked him up and down, and seemed to have a slight smile, "How can you come to thank him like this, and come here empty-handed, it seems very insincere."

Meng Runlin really didn't know what to bring. He was already rich all over the world, and everything he brought was light.So today I really came here empty-handed, and I didn't expect him to pick a gift.

"Caomin did come to thank you sincerely, but I don't know what to give the emperor."

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at the things on the desk, and said, "Then you can do me a favor, it's your gift."

If it's about him and Miaoli, Meng Runlin has no way to help.Leaving aside his position, he really didn't know how to help.Meng Runlin had already refused in his heart, but he still said: "Please tell me, the emperor, if you can help, the grassroots will definitely help."

If you can't help, forget it.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't want him to help Miaoli either, and he could only rely on himself for the matter with Miaoli, and no one else could help.If he can't do it himself, that's all he can do. It seems that there is still a long way to go.

"Your father came up with many ingenious ideas for the late emperor, and you are not bad at all. I have been very troubled by something for a few days, and I still can't think of a solution. I want to talk to you. I didn't force you, you didn't There is a way.”

As if it wasn't for Miaoli's affairs, Meng Runlin felt relieved, "Please tell me, Your Majesty."

"Concubine Jin is the princess of Xichang Kingdom. She married here to make a marriage. Because of some conflicts before, Xichang Kingdom blocked the border because she was wronged here. Recently, traders from the two countries have traded. After the communication, Xichang The country wants to get married again. There is no princess in our country who is suitable for marriage, so they asked me to marry another princess from another country."

Meng Runlin asked: "Is it marriage?"

"Yes, I said that I don't want my two daughters to be concubines when they marry, but I don't want to be a queen now, let alone a princess from another country. But they have to open the border, and they can't use swords and guns. So I haven't thought of it. an idea."

This matter cannot be discussed with civil and military officials. If they get together, they may persuade him to become queen, which is another troublesome matter.It is best to talk to Meng Runlin, maybe it can solve his troubles, and more importantly, let them know that he doesn't want to be a queen now.

As long as he does not become a queen, Miao Li's identity is unshakable.He always said to let go, but he tried hard and really couldn't let go.

Meng Runlin thought for a while, and soon came up with an idea, "It means that I don't want both daughters to be concubines, and it would be nice if one daughter becomes a queen. It doesn't have to be the emperor to marry, and the same is true for conferring."

If he doesn't want to be a queen, he can give the first emperor a queen.There is also no original spouse, and the ones he marries are not original spouses, and both of them have died.

Zhou Shuxuan seemed to be enlightened, why didn't he think of this good idea?It's okay to think about it from another angle, and the matter will be resolved immediately.Everyone in their family is really smart, and each has more ideas than the other.

The matter has been settled, and I have to write back there immediately.Zhou Shuxuan waved his hand and said, "I still have some things to do, so you can go first, and I won't see you off."

Meng Runlin left obediently, but still felt that his attitude was strange.She is still so kind, there is no reason for Miao Li.But during the whole chat, he didn't mention Miao Li at all.Forget it, he is the emperor, he can do whatever he likes.

Back at Qingquan Palace again, Qingxi hadn't finished crying yet, and was kneeling on the edge of the steps for punishment.

In today's situation, Miaoli didn't plead for Qingxi's favor. This time the matter was handled so abhorrently that it was unbearable.Maybe it's because she dotes on the child too much, so the child is used to lawlessness.

Meng Runlin didn't dare to look up at him when he came over, Miao Li asked him to sit down and asked, "How is it?"

"The emperor is quite kind now, and it passed after a few words. The strange thing is that he asked me to help him, saying that Xichang Kingdom wanted him to marry a princess, but he didn't want to be a queen, so he couldn't think of an idea. I told He said that it would be good if he made Concubine Jin Jin the Empress Dowager, and the matter would be settled."

Miao Li understood the meaning, but her expression was still calm, and she said, "You seem to have forgotten your father's teaching, you shouldn't get involved in these things."

"I didn't forget, I just gave him an idea, and I didn't serve as an official in the court."

Miao Li tilted her head and asked again: "Then think about it, what kind of person gives advice to the emperor?"

That is to be an official, and those who are not officials will eventually become officials.

Meng Runlin repeatedly admitted his mistake, "Okay, okay, sister, I know. It's only this time, there can't be a next time. It's not because he said today that I went to thank you empty-handed. I will help him if I am not sincere. I will not dare to gone."

"It's good if you know you're wrong. You come today and bring the two children back. Qingxi really should be disciplined. In the future, if you have nothing to do, don't enter the palace. Don't cause trouble."

"I was also about to talk to my sister about this. Wu Yun has another child, and now he is suffering from sickness and vomiting. I have to teach and take care of her. I have no time to take care of them. Well, my sister will take care of them for a while longer."

She really had another child, and Miao Li thought they were lying to her.She is also happy to have more children, but it is indeed dangerous for these two children to be placed in the palace.

Seeing that she was still in a dilemma, Meng Runlin persuaded again: "Please really, sister, I will go to the palace to take them back when Wu Yun gets better, for sure."

Miao Li still compromised, "Okay then, don't worry too much, take care of your lord."

"Thank you. If Qingxi is disobedient again, you'll beat him up. Anyway, he's a boy, and his skin is so strong that he can't be beaten. Children won't grow up if they don't get beaten."

Miaoli glanced at Qingxi, who was kneeling by the steps, who looked similar to him when he was a child, and said with a smile, "That's right, otherwise you wouldn't have grown so big."

He was really beaten a lot when he was a child.

Meng Runlin smiled, and the two chatted for a while before going out.

It is indeed very eye-catching for a strange man to enter the palace.Along the way, Meng Runlin almost went out under the eyes of the court ladies and eunuchs, so many people saw him.

Mei Qin took things back from the outside and saw him too.When I got back, I told Lin Yanchi, "My maidservant, it seems that the imperial concubine has really fallen out of favor. It is estimated that the emperor still misses her, but it is not as obvious as it was then."

Lin Yanchi looked over nervously, "How do you say that?"

Miao Li seems to be a real enemy, she hasn't moved for so long, and she is still a noble concubine.Does the emperor really have feelings for her, or the kind that cannot be changed.

"The servant met her younger brother when she came back. Foreign men can enter the palace at will. Think about it, how much favor is it for the empress?"

This is the truth, Lin Yanchi clenched his lower lip.She has been in the palace for so long, and she hasn't even seen her mother once or twice, let alone added other relatives.

It's not like Miao Li, the two children of the younger brother's family have been living in the palace, and the younger brother, younger brother and daughter-in-law will come to the palace to accompany her during the New Year's festival, no matter what the emperor will let her family reunite.In this deep palace, a family reunion is such a luxury wish.

If the emperor really didn't love her anymore, he wouldn't give her so many privileges, so he must still like her in his heart.

He was really a formidable person. So many people died one after another, but it still had no effect. He was indeed formidable.

Lin Yanchi had already relaxed his vigilance towards Miao Li, but now he couldn't help becoming nervous again. She is indeed difficult to deal with, and she must work harder.

There are already a lot of women in the palace, and the more people are more lively.It's a pity that the status is not very high, and he is not very favored. The emperor seems to be indifferent to everyone.

If there is someone who can compete with Miao Li, it will be more lively.
