concubines

Chapter 37
The eldest princess froze for a moment, what did you say?When he realized it, he was already a few feet away.Quickly chased after him, grabbed King Qi's arm and said, "You are too young, do you talk to elders like this?"

King Qi looked back at her, and asked with a straight face: "Look at what you have done, you don't look like an elder. If you are an elder, you don't have to call someone to go to Xishan to find me for help. You have caused a problem. Another matter, I can’t settle down for a few days. It’s really because the emperor doesn’t dare to kill you, the emperor is always the emperor, and it doesn’t matter if you are the princess who protects the country or not.”

After being trained by this person, the eldest princess's face was not good-looking, and she was as stern as he: "My lord has become older and tempered in recent years, but I just asked you for one thing to provoke you to call me so big. If I have something to do in the future, I can't bother the lord, I will come here first today, and I will come to the door to thank you another day."

After finishing speaking, the eldest princess started to leave, every step was windy.

"You..." Qi Wang hurried to catch up, "I don't want to hear a few words about you. If you don't do that, I don't want to talk about you either."

The eldest princess slowed down slightly, and when he caught up, she let out a "heh" in front of King Qi, and said with a displeased face: "Isn't the prince not talkative on weekdays? Did someone stab the prince's chatterbox today?" ? Endless like a hornet's nest."

King Qi chopped off his feet and said, "I'm angry with you."

The eldest princess gave him a squinting look, and said angrily: "Then the prince shouldn't talk to me anymore, let's be sulky all by myself."

"You! You! You!" King Qi said you three times, his face flushed with anger.

The eldest princess didn't even look at him, she clasped her fists and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

What steps does he keep, it's not his palace in the palace now.King Qi chased after him with his robe flapping, shouting while chasing, "Auntie, stay a step."

After hearing this, the eldest princess stopped suddenly, turned her head and said, "What are you shouting?"

King Qi grabbed her by the sleeve and said after making sure he held her firmly, "I'm going back to Xishan today, do you really want to make trouble with me?"

In Prince Qin's Mansion, Zhou Shuxuan came out of the shower, changed his clothes, and immediately felt refreshed.Even the uneasiness just now was less, although he still had a straight face.

Miao Li lit the incense for tranquility and tranquility, wanting him to have a good rest.The clan mansion is no better than the mansion, he must not have had a good rest.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhou Shuxuan smelled it, he covered his nose, picked up a teacup and poured it.

Miao Li didn't know why he did this, so she came over and asked, "What's the matter, my lord?"

Zhou Shuxuan's face was gloomy, but it didn't look much different from usual, so he asked her: "Where does your fragrance come from?"

Miaoli thought about it for a while, and then said frankly: "When the servant girl first moved into the yard, Xia Shi asked the servant girl to bring it to the prince."

Zhou Shuxuan stared at her face intently, not missing a trace of expression on her face.It's not that he doesn't trust her, after all, people's hearts are separated from each other, and what he says may be quite different from what he thinks in his heart.

Seeing no suspicious look, Zhou Shuxuan asked again: "I will ask you again, where did you get this incense?"

Miaoli realized that something was wrong, and knelt on the ground, "It was really given by the Xia family. If the servant has a fake character, there will be no place to bury her."

Zhou Shuxuan reluctantly believed it, and said with a still unkind expression: "Get up, throw away all the incense you have left, and don't light this incense again in the future."

Miao Li stood up with lingering fear, took out the incense in the stove and poured it out, and only after she came back asked: "My lord, what's wrong with the incense?"

Zhou Shuxuanyun said calmly: "The Xia family planted poison inside."

Miao Li was shocked, it was poisonous!She had lit a lot of this incense before, so wouldn't she be the one who indirectly poisoned Zhou Shuxuan?He knelt down and knelt on the ground again: "The servant is negligent for a while, and he deserves death. I ask the prince to forgive me."

Those who don't know are innocent, Zhou Shuxuan still trusts her more, and let her stand up without changing his expression, "You don't have to kneel down every now and then, as long as you are loyal to this king, you will have a place by my side."

Thinking of the promise that was foolishly tricked by the eldest princess in the clan's mansion, Zhou Shuxuan looked her up and down, feeling even more annoyed.

He has lived for more than 20 years, and it is not straightforward to deal with anything.He happened to meet her, but he simply couldn't get up.It bothers me to think about anything other than business.

Look, think about it and think about it.Zhou Shuxuan was trying to find something to divert his thoughts, when he heard Miao Li say: "Thank you, my lord, this servant is absolutely loyal to my lord."

Loyalty is easy to say but hard to do, Zhou Shuxuan didn't reply.He didn't know what to say at this time.

Zhou Shuxuan and Miao Li are not talkative people, the room was silent for a while, Miao Li opened the mouth to break the silence first, "My lord, is it all over now after such a big mess? Except for Xia's asking to beheaded, the prince will Are you still going to be his prince?"

"Impossible!" Zhou Shuxuan said firmly: "After the new year at the latest, the crown prince must be abolished, no matter how much the emperor protects him."

With the testimony of the eldest princess, the matter of the racecourse is a certainty, and the crown prince will definitely not be able to clean it up. Dozens of lives cannot just be left alone.

Zhou Shuxuan gritted his teeth and said: "If the emperor insists on protecting the prince, I will bring the survivors of the racecourse to sue the imperial court, and the whole world will know about the trouble. Let's see who has a bad face."

Miao Li thinks of the emperor, if he is not regarded as the real dragon emperor, he is just an ordinary old man, dry and not in good health.

"My lord, let's choose a bland method. If my lord brings someone to sue, the emperor will definitely be angry again." Miao Li suppressed her voice a little: "To say something disrespectful, the emperor has a faint sign that the oil is clean and the lamp is dying. I was so angry that it was good or bad, the prince recited the name and let the prince take advantage of it."

Zhou Shuxuan also sighed, after all, he is his biological father.The emperor doesn't have much affection for him, but it doesn't mean he has the same for the emperor.If the emperor's bowl of water is flat, he is not willing to anger the emperor for nothing.

"The king knows, let's think of a way after the new year."

The room fell into silence again, and Wei Hai was talking back and forth at this time.

"My lord, the eldest princess is here."

Zhou Shuxuan was stunned for a moment, he had a good relationship with the eldest princess.The eldest princess has a special status, he doesn't often visit the eldest princess's house, and the eldest princess doesn't come to him often.They just met each other. What's the matter with the eldest princess?
Moreover, he doesn't really want to see the eldest princess now.The eldest princess is really not something he can mess with, she can't stand it at all.

Even though he thought so, Zhou Shuxuan still hurriedly said: "Please come here quickly, Your Highness."

A hearty voice came from outside, "Don't bother me, I'll come in by myself."

Miao Li looked out, and there was more than one coming.Followed by a man, his appearance is not very similar to Zhou Shuxuan, his temperament is also very different, he has a martial spirit, and he looks older than Zhou Shuxuan.Judging by his attire, he should be King Qi.

It stands to reason that this is the first time she has seen King Qi, but she seems to have seen him somewhere before, but she can't remember it.

Zhou Shuxuan sat down and said hello, "Auntie, brother, why did you come together?"

"We just happened to go down to court, so we stopped by your place to have a look." The eldest princess looked at Miao Li while speaking, and said in surprise, "Beauty, are you alright?"

Miao Li bowed her knees and saluted, "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess and King Qi. If you return to Your Highness, the servant is fine."

The eldest princess snorted softly, "What a little tall man, he lied about the military situation, and see if I don't skin him when I go back."

Miao Li hurriedly explained, "The maidservant was indeed lost in the palace, and she came back after asking."

The eldest princess pulled her to sit down, and kept saying: "You too, I never thought that we would worry about you, and we didn't let anyone go to the clan's mansion to notify you."

Miao Li poured her a cup of tea and said as an apology: "I know my mistake."

The two people chatted happily here, while Zhou Shuxuan and King Qi did not stop there.

King Qi walked around Zhou Shuxuan's wheelchair, and said with a sigh: "It's a pity, why do you... Sigh!"

Zhou Shuxuan naturally knew what he was regretting, and said with a bit of sadness in his open-mindedness: "Probably it is destiny, I am destined to have this fate."

King Qi sneered and said, "When did you start to believe in the destiny. You and I are brothers, and you can't believe in the destiny. Everything is man-made. Since it was done by the prince, don't worry about brotherhood. Do whatever you want. I, the big brother, have been standing behind you."

These words should be extremely heart-warming to the ears, but Zhou Shuxuan could hear some meaning.

King Qi said so, is he waiting for him to fight with the crown prince and lose both sides, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman.After all, King Qi is also a prince, not only a prince, but also the eldest son of the emperor.Not only the eldest son of the emperor, but also the eldest son of the emperor in good health.He is more qualified to inherit the throne than the crippled one like him.

Zhou Shuxuan kept his eyes open and said with a smile: "Man-made is man-made, but you still have to obey the destiny. You have to obey the order of the emperor. Everything depends on how the father and the old man judge."

Just as King Qi was about to speak, he heard the eldest princess shouting: "What's the name, even the most delicious lychee is also a lychee. Do you have another name?"

King Qi looked over with a smile on his face, and Miao Li accidentally met his gaze.I just feel that there is a touch of tenderness in King Qi's iron-blooded military temperament, an inexplicable tenderness.

Strange in his heart, he withdrew his mind and answered the eldest princess's words: "Before the maidservant enters the mansion, the small characters are double."

"It's a good name. Our family is unparalleled in the world."

King Qi completely forgot Zhou Shuxuan's words, knocked the table and said: "Don't worry about the name. I have seen the third brother, should I go? I have something important to discuss with you."

The eldest princess gave him a disgusted look, "Why are you so blind, didn't you see that I was talking to the beauty? What's so important?"

King Qi didn't say anything, but directly said to Zhou Shuxuan: "There are still things in the army. I came back suddenly and I have to go back today, and I will come to see you later."

He didn't stay for a moment after speaking, and left.The eldest princess propped her head up to watch him go, and sat steadily to watch him go.

Zhou Shuxuan smiled and said: "Auntie, let's go, if there is any problem in the army, the eldest brother will sue you in front of the emperor again."

The eldest princess stood up helplessly, straightened her clothes, and said, "This unlucky child, then I will go too."

Looking at the back of the eldest princess, Miao Li suddenly remembered where she had seen King Qi.
