concubines

Chapter 353 Drunkenness
The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner.

Zhou Shuxuan was still waiting for her performance these days, but he didn't expect this performance to be nothing, and he didn't wake up after returning home, as if he hadn't said those words to him, which made Zhou Shuxuan feel a little empty in his heart.

However, the palace banquet was well prepared, and it was decent and generous under the condition of saving money. It must have taken some thought.

Zhou Shuxuan sat on the main seat and looked down. Meng Runlin's family also came and sat next to Zhou Yining.She actually compromised again. Could it be that she has given up hope?That's why there's been no action for so long.Or is it that all the previous conditions have been cancelled, she doesn't want Meng Runlin and the others to go back, and she wants to seek life and death again?
It's terrible to think about it, he really can't bear it.

Zhou Shuxuan couldn't help but tilted his head and said to Miao Li: "It seems that you have performed well during this time, your brother and the others can go back if they want to."

Miao Li suppressed the joy in her heart, and said coldly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

It was only after she went back that she realized that maybe Zhou Shuxuan definitely did it on purpose.The lower she lowered her posture, the more powerful Zhou Shuxuan became.People who push their feet will not be satisfied with a little bit of sweetness.

On the contrary, if she ignored his words, he would be careful to please her.Now the result has confirmed her words, ignore him, he will be fine soon.

Seeing her attitude, Zhou Shuxuan was even more uncertain, not knowing what was going on.Reflecting on himself, he didn't do anything these days, which is inexplicable.

People can go out, they will no longer be in the palace, and there is less possibility of being plotted by others.Miao Li is in a very good mood today, with a faint smile on her lips, but she can't see it from Zhou Shuxuan's angle, and Zhou Shuxuan is still working hard to study what she is thinking.

Today's banquet is quite lively, almost all the people are here.Then someone got up and said some polite words, and toasted something.

As the second oldest person in the palace, and also rumored to be the emperor's favorite student, Miao Li will naturally not be ignored.While toasting Zhou Shuxuan, he will never forget her.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and she drinks when someone proposes a toast.

It was the result of countless sleepless nights, and she has a pretty good capacity for alcohol.But it was too much, and I still couldn't hold it. Slowly, my head rose a little bit, and two blushes appeared on my face.

Zhou Shuxuan had been studying why her attitude changed again just now, and didn't pay much attention to her.Looking at it now, I can see that she is faintly drunk, but still holding a wine glass, wanting to continue drinking.

Zhou Shuxuan lowered his voice slightly, and advised her, "Stop drinking, what are you drinking so much for?"

Miaoli drank too much now, not only did not listen to him, but took the jug from the hand of the maid, stood up and poured a glass for him, and then poured a full glass for herself, "The concubine toasts the emperor with a glass, I wish the emperor thought Everything works out, everything goes well."

It's hard for her to think of such two perfunctory words, and the people below are watching.If he doesn't drink her glass of wine, it will definitely be said that the noble concubine will fall out of favor tomorrow.

Zhou Shuxuan drank the wine in the glass with a dark face, and Miao Li immediately refilled it for him, "My concubine will offer another cup to the emperor, wishing the emperor peace and prosperity, and the sun and the moon will shine together."

It's getting more and more perfunctory, and some of the text is wrong, and it's not his birthday today.It seems that he really drank too much, and still has a sliver of reason. If he didn't say anything about longevity, it would be really ridiculous.

As long as the two of them love each other, he will not laugh at her.But now there are still so many people down there, so they can't let others read the joke and pick on her demeanor.

Zhou Shuxuan drank her wine, snatched her glass, and said with a dark face: "Don't drink, you are almost drunk."

Miao Li woke up a little bit, sat back on her seat, and muttered in a low voice, "The emperor is really stingy, he doesn't even let anyone drink a glass of wine, and he can still drink the emperor poor, what is there to be reluctant about?"

Zhou Shuxuan sat very close to her, and could clearly hear what she said, but he was still complaining. "I'm doing it for your own good. Look how you've been drinking? Do you still have a little sense?"

Miaoli nodded, and turned to look at him, "Of course the concubine is sensible, and the concubine knows a lot of things. For example, if there is wine in life, one must be drunk. How has a drop ever reached Jiuquan. The emperor is right?"

Really drunk.

Seeing that her face was getting redder and her eyes were getting more and more blurred, she was a little wobbly, and she couldn't even sit still.Zhou Shuxuan didn't bother to answer her, and said to Madam Xi with a gloomy face, "Send her back and make her a hangover soup."

Mother Xi helped her up, "Mother, let's go back."

Miao Li tilted her head and asked in a daze, "Where are you going? Are you going home?"

"Go back to Qingquan Palace."

I don't know if she heard it clearly, but I saw her nodding and saying, "Oh, let's go home, then let's go back."

Standing up with the armrest of the chair, he did not forget to salute Zhou Shuxuan before leaving.Zhou Shuxuan waved her to go quickly and go back to rest early.

Leaving the crowd, the cold wind blows, Miao Li wakes up a little bit, but there is a limit to a little bit.Then she turned her head and asked Mother Xi, "Where are we going now?"

"We are going back to Qingquan Palace now."

Miaoli looked up at the sky, there was no cloud in the sky, and there was only a moon hanging in the sky, shedding a pure brilliance.Miao Li sighed, "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moon is really beautiful."

"It would be a pity to waste such a beautiful moonlight." Miao Li lowered her head again, looked at the road she was walking on, and asked, "If you walk out from here, is it Liuguangquan?"

"Yes, my lady has good eyesight."

Miao Li looked at Mammy Xi and said, "I remember the first time I went to Liuguangquan, it was Mammy who took me there. I can't live up to such a beautiful moonlight. I will take Mama there today. I am tired of looking up. , and you can lie down and look at the water, how nice it is.”

She drank a few more glasses today, looking very excited.Mammy Xi should have let her go, but now she is really drunk.

Mother Xi didn't agree very much, she suggested while rejecting, "It is said that the moon is [-] round on the [-]th day, and the moonlight will be more beautiful tomorrow, so let's go out to enjoy the moon tomorrow, my lady."

"But I like today's cake. It's very round, but not so round." Miao Li looked at the sky and studied for a long time, then said suddenly, "If it's a cake, it must be brown sugar inside."

Grandma Xi was almost amused by her, how could she be so cute when she was drunk?

Miao Li looked at the moon and said in a flat tone: "I haven't been out of the house for a long time, just let me go and have a look, I really want to go and see. My life is really hard, very hard, I dared to go and see the moon when I was drunk, why didn't such a small request be satisfied?"

It seems self-willed, but not so strong, it is the long-suppressed feelings that are catalyzed by wine and cannot be controlled to spill out.

A few words made Mammy Xi's heart ache, it's not a big deal, let's see if there's nothing wrong.Mother Xi compromised and said: "Go, empress, let's go to Liuguangquan."

Miao Li clapped her hands and shouted, "Thank you Mammy, tomorrow I will ask Fu'er to make some brown sugar pancakes, and I will give some more to Mammy."

Mammy Xi didn't dare to answer the words, and didn't dare to remind her that the person who asked her to make the brown sugar pancakes was gone.

Miao Li looked at the moon again as if she remembered it, and said, "Fu'er is gone, and there is no way to cook for me anymore. There is only the imperial dining room, but I don't like what they make. They It is made for the noble concubine, only Fuer is made for the elder sister, it is different."

Mother Xi really didn't know what to pick up, but fortunately, she had already arrived at Liuguangquan.After getting off the sedan chair, Mammy Xi helped Miaoli down, "It's already here, the empress is here to enjoy the moon. But it's agreed that we can only stay for a while, and we will go back right away."

Miao Li nodded obediently, looked at the sky, and then at the water, the moon looks exactly the same.But there seemed to be a person standing in the water, who looked very similar to her, but didn't look like her, much younger than her.

Miao Li knelt down by the water and asked, "Who are you? Are you me?"

Mammy Xi didn't know who she was talking to, she only thought that she saw the reflection in the water, and she was drunk again, and started to play drunk again.

The people in the water didn't answer her, but she could hear voices in her mind.

The people in the water are saying, I am the concubine of King Qin. Half a month ago, the prince was racing horses, and the prince fell off his horse and broke his leg.The prince has been very irritable recently. He often beats people, even me last night.But I made an agreement with the prince, as long as I help him ascend the throne, he will give me freedom.

Miao Li smiled foolishly, "Don't be stupid, he doesn't need your help, and he won't let you go free. Everything is just what you think, it's impossible."

No, the prince has already promised me that he will reverse the case for my father and give me a free life, I believe him!
What a confident voice, Miao Li persuaded in a low voice, "If you are so stupid, I can't help you. But if he drives you out of the palace in the future, if you hear the sound of a man reading in a broken house, you must Just ignore him."

Don't go to Zhaoyun Mountain, you won't meet again.All kinds of things after that would not happen. Maybe she is still wandering in the world, or maybe she has found a place to settle down.

A gust of wind blew over, and the person in the water seemed to have disappeared, and there was no answer to her.Miao Li forgot who she was talking to just now, and also forgot what she was doing now, and it seemed that she couldn't remember who she was.

Looking around the surrounding environment, she seems to be in the palace.Why is she in the palace?Because there is a palace banquet today, she entered the palace with the prince.

Lord?

Where is the prince?
The wind blew across the moonlit lake, shining gentle light, which suddenly awakened her memory bit by bit.

Just now the prince asked her to bring some things for worship, she went, but now when she comes back, there is no sign of anyone.It must be the prince, the prince pushed the prince into the lake while she was away, and the prince is in the water now.

He couldn't swim with a broken leg, and she was going to rescue him.
