concubines

Chapter 5 The Falling Horse
"The prince never said that." Miao Li told the truth, she didn't care about her status.

"My lord is also true. I will talk to him another day, and I will not let my sister be wronged." I thought that Miao Li would thank her a thousand times, but he would not be moved.Xia sneered in her heart, she was a frivolous one, and thought she would not take her seriously when she thought she was doted on.

Just wait and see, their good days won't last long.

"Meeting my sister is something on my mind. My sister has just moved the yard, and there must be a lot of things to take care of. I won't delay my sister," Xia Shi winked at the maid on the side, and the maid knowingly handed over a small bag , Xia Shi took it and put it in Miao Li's hand, "This is the spice that the prince is used to, I found someone to make some new ones, you can take it there together."

Miao Li took it and saluted, "Your servant will leave."

As soon as she turned her head, the expression on Xia's face changed.From the March spring breeze just now to the snowy winter, he told the maid on the side with a straight face: "Throw away all the things she touched and used just now, and wash my hands with a basin of water."

Miaoli didn't know all this, and went back to Zhou Shuxuan's yard.Zhou Shuxuan was fiddling with the brazier again and again, as if he was waiting for her.When he found her coming in, he asked with displeasure, "Where did you go?"

Miaoli replied after asking for peace, "The princess asked the slaves to come over."

Zhou Shuxuan paused, "It wasn't you who reminded me, this king almost forgot that there is still a princess living in the mansion."

Miao Li was speechless, she had always heard that their relationship was not good, but she didn't expect it to be so bad.

"What did she call you to do?"

She called over and didn't say anything specifically, Miao Li replied, "Probably because the slaves moved into the prince's yard."

Zhou Shuxuan's words were filled with anger, "Who lives in my courtyard has nothing to do with her?"

This... Not to mention the princess, even concubines and regular wives of rich families should be concerned.

Fortunately, Zhou Shuxuan was not angry anymore, and his tone softened a bit, "Forget it, I didn't find you because of her, you pack up and go out with me." Zhou Shuxuan added, "Don't dress up too much." He didn't like it very much. As soon as she appeared, everyone's eyes were glued to her.

Miao Li obeyed and did not ask him what to do.When I went back to the house, I changed into plain clothes, almost without dressing up.

Zhou Shuxuan looked at it and thought she should dress up well, what is the color of makeup and powder, this is called the color of makeup and powder.

Such a woman should be a beautiful concubine in the back house and should not participate in men's affairs, but she chose this path.

"Do you know where I'm taking you?" Zhou Shuxuan asked.

The two of them treat others coldly, and when they get together, they talk a lot.

"The slave does not know."

Zhou Shuxuan's hand on his knee clenched into a fist, "Go to Yubachang."

Miao Li thought about it in her mind for a while, and almost blurted out: "The prince wants to investigate the matter of falling from the horse?"

Yes, he just wanted to check.He had a pair of broken legs, and he only knew roughly who the murderer was, but he didn't know the details of the matter, so how could he be reconciled.

Zhou Shuxuan often practiced bowing and horses, and his hands were covered with calluses. The fall from the horse could not be caused by himself, but could only be caused by external forces.But it's been more than a month, and I'm afraid it's a waste of time to check it now.

"Does your lord have any clues?"

Lu Shuxuan answered simply, "No."

Miao Li pursed her lips, now she doesn't even have a bamboo basket.

After walking for about half an hour, the carriage stopped steadily, and Wei Hai lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, "Your Highness, Miss, the racecourse is here."

Miao Li jumped out of the carriage, and carried Zhou Shuxuan with her hands.Out of the city, the air in the suburbs is much better.Without the flying dust raised by the chariots and horses, there is green water and green mountains, etc., where is it?
The black section evasive banner, the red embroidered Baoxiang flower crank umbrella, and many other ceremonial objects, it seems that there are people from the royal family.

After thinking about the specifications, Miao Li whispered, "My lord, it seems to be the eldest princess."

There is only one eldest princess in the state of Jin, the eldest princess Zhuang Ding, who is the younger sister of the current emperor.It is worth mentioning that this princess has military merits, and she once acted as the emperor's personal conquest, so she was named the princess of protecting the country.

Before Zhou Shuxuan could see clearly, a sleek black horse stopped in front of them.Miao Li looked up, and immediately sat a heroic woman, in her 30s, dressed as a woman, unlike ordinary women who are weak and strong, looking very strong.

Sitting on the horse, the eldest princess condescended and said with a smile: "Third brother, it really is you, I thought I was wrong."

"I met my aunt." Zhou Shuxuan cupped his hands, and Miao Li knelt down behind him.

The eldest princess waved her hand, "You don't need to be so polite." Her eyes fell behind him, and the eldest princess looked straight at Miao Li, "A girl with a good sign." Then she jumped off the horse and helped Miao Li up herself, "How old is that?" ? Is there a Xu family?"

This attitude made Miaoli a little confused about the situation, and she replied: "This servant is nineteen this year, and she is the prince's concubine."

The eldest princess threw a disgusted look at Zhou Shuxuan, "He is a person who doesn't know how to be compassionate and cherish jade. Now that he is not in good health, he will definitely have a bad temper. You might as well follow me. As long as you nod and agree, you can go back to the princess mansion with me today. .”

Miao Li glanced at Zhou Shuxuan begging for help, what is going on?I have never heard of the eldest princess having such a hobby.

Zhou Shuxuan smiled softly, pulled Miao Li back to his side, and said to the eldest princess: "It's useless for my aunt to collect so many beauties, it's better to find an uncle earlier to be serious."

The eldest princess glared at him fiercely, "No wonder you are the unlucky one. After I'm done being smart, I love to collect beauties. You can't control me."

Zhou Shu jokingly said, "When you mention uncle, you get annoyed. What's the reason? Now that they're not here, you can talk to my nephew and me alone."

It can be seen that their relationship is very good, better than that of aunt and nephew in ordinary families.

The eldest princess got on her horse and said helplessly, "Your uncle is shameless, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Zhou Shuxuan smiled and didn't answer.From the time the eldest princess got married to the present, the emperor, big and small, pointed out hundreds of marriages to her, but none of them succeeded.Later, the eldest princess was also annoyed, so she simply put up a woman's bun, making the emperor think that she was already married.

"A horse died at the stable. I went to have a look, and there seemed to be traces of gunpowder on the hooves. Third, tell me, how could there be firecrackers at the Royal Stable?" The eldest princess shared something new with him. After speaking, he smiled lightly and rode away.

"Thank you, aunt." Zhou Shuxuan said to the dust picked up by the horse's hoof.

The eldest princess should have guessed what they were doing, hinting at them, Wei Hai pushed Zhou Shuxuan, and the group walked towards the stable.
