concubines

Chapter 66
Miao Li looked at King Qi's impatient reaction, and her speculations became more and more intense.But he controlled himself not to guess which way, those things are really scary.

Miao Li followed Zhou Shuxuan's words and asked, "My lord, you said His Highness King Qi would not say anything."

Zhou Shuxuan looked at the place where King Qi disappeared and said: "I'm afraid he will bring up the matter of abolishing the prince. The emperor is in a heartache, and it may be bad if he mentions it. However, the elder brother should be measured."

Zhou Shuxuan guessed wrong, King Qi not only mentioned it, but also succeeded in angering the emperor.

The emperor threw out a teacup, and the teacup shattered on the ground at King Qi's feet, "You mean, he deserves to die if he rebels? Have you forgotten that he is also my son, your younger brother?! That's how you act like a brother Is it? How many decades have you not given birth to a little love for your brother?"

"I didn't mean that, I just said that my aunt was credited with saving the car."

"I know whether she has merit or not, so I don't need you to remind me." The emperor turned his back to King Qi, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something, turned around and asked sharply, "What do you mean by putting this in front of me? What do you mean?" What does it mean to come to the palace to intercede with her? What is your relationship with her?"

King Qi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "I grew up with my aunt. My aunt has the grace to teach me, save my life, and treat me like a comrade..."

"Enough!" The emperor interrupted him, waving his sleeves and said, "You contradict the holy driver, and you will be fined for one year. Kneel down."

Salary is a trivial matter, King Qi did not get a clear answer from the emperor, so he said without fear of death: "Father, aunt..."

The emperor roared again, "Get out!"

The emperor trembled with anger and sat back on the dragon chair. He knew everything the eldest princess had done in his heart.If it weren't for the eldest princess, he would be the emperor of Daxing now.But he couldn't forget the feeling of the eldest princess waving her hand to kill the prince day and night, that heart-wrenching feeling.

I thought that the eldest princess could successfully become a monk, repent in front of the Buddha, and save the prince.Who would have thought that King Qi would come so suddenly?
Princess!Difficult!
King Qi went back dejectedly, and he said it would not work.But he didn't blame Zhou Shuxuan for coming up with random ideas, he only blamed the emperor for being confused.

In the eldest princess' mansion, the eldest princess brought a plate of snacks and threw it in front of Zhou Shuxuan.

"It's not time for meal now, you can make do with it." The eldest princess looked around the room again and the annoying person just now was gone, and asked, "Where's your elder brother?"

Zhou Shuxuan pinched a piece of snack, took a small bite and said, "I'm going to the palace."

"What?!" The eldest princess jumped up, gritted her teeth and said, "Third brother, you must have instigated it. You brothers don't have any good things."

For the past few days, King Qi only knew to let people surround him, and he had no other reaction. Zhou Shuxuan entered the palace as soon as he arrived, and it was not his bad idea.

The more the eldest princess thought about it, the angrier she became, she snatched the snack from him, and took away the plate next to it, "I gave you this bite for nothing, and you should starve to death."

Zhou Shuxuan patted the crumbs on his hands, and said as if talking about family affairs: "Auntie, is that why you want to become a nun?"

The eldest princess rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Do I want to have anything to do with you? Do you all want to keep me in check?"

Zhou Shuxuan lowered his voice slightly and said, "Why is it nothing to do with me? Auntie, have you forgotten what you said before? How can you help me even if you are going to be a nun?"

What did he say in the clan mansion?This is why he was worrying too much. She can help him as if she were a nun.

The eldest princess deliberately said: "Don't worry. I will help you as well, and I will chant scriptures for you every day."

Zhou Shu declared very sincerely, "I don't want people who recite scriptures. There are thousands of people who recite scriptures in the world, and there is only one aunt."

Monks and nuns are easy to get, but a heroine like this may not be able to get one for hundreds of years.

The eldest princess didn't even bother to talk to him, "Go, go, get out!"

The eldest princess was almost bored to death, so she sat for a while, waiting for King Qi to come back.But it was the emperor's imperial decree that he arrived at the eldest princess's mansion before King Qi.

"I am honored with the command of a handsome man: Princess Zhuang Dingchang, who has made great contributions in escorting the rebel army and benefited the country and society. Such talents should not be lost by the country, and should not be left in temples and nunneries. I don't care about past suspicions, and I will restore Princess Zhuang Dingchang to protect the country and Wu'an The title of Princess Zhongxiao Pingnan, and then named Da Sima, I hope Princess Zhuang Dingchang can restrain her temper and repay the king's kindness."

The eldest princess was stunned for a long time before reaching out to accept the imperial decree, "Thank you for the decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Grasping the imperial decree, the eldest princess only felt that this thin piece of cloth weighed a thousand catties, the emperor was going crazy.

Zhou Shuxuan came over and said, "Congratulations, Aunt, congratulations, Aunt."

The eldest princess asked in a daze: "Third son, is your father mad by your elder brother? What do you think he would do for me as a big Sima?"

Da Sima is the highest officer in the military ranks. Before King Qi and Sun Bo did not give in to each other, this position was vacant.Now that Sun Bo is dead, and the rebellion was put down by King Qi, this position should be given to King Qi no matter what.

Zhou Shuxuan answered very pertinently, "My father may feel that it is more at ease to hold the soldiers and horses in the hands of my aunt."

"I...he is relieved, has he considered my feelings? I am not a little girl anymore, and I can't bear the hardships in the barracks."

Zhou Shuxuan covered his face and said, "Auntie, don't say such ignorant things. I'm worried about thunder."

The eldest princess can't stand the wind and frost in the barracks, who else can stand it?

The eldest princess glared at him, beckoned to Miao Li behind him, and said, "I'll pack rat medicine for you later, take it back and put it in the medicine, tea, or food for him."

Miao Li glanced at Zhou Shuxuan, really not knowing what to say.Before Zhou Shuxuan could speak, King Qi came in from outside with a pale face.

The expression didn't seem right, Zhou Shuxuan pretended not to know anything and asked deliberately: "Brother, what did the emperor say?"

"Father... I can't figure out his intentions these past few years."

Zhou Shuxuan held back a smile and said, "I can't figure it out either, but Auntie has an imperial decree here, do you want to see it." He raised his hand and threw the imperial decree over.

King Qi opened the imperial decree anxiously, and after reading it, he was ecstatic, and confirmed whether the seal was true two or three times. After confirming that it was true, he stood up and left.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Zhou Shuxuan shouted behind him.

"I'll ask Jing Zheng to remove him."

King Qi walked buoyantly every step of the way, as if he was happy from the bottom of his heart.Miao Li tried her best to move her eyes away, and she would think more after seeing her.

Zhou Shuxuan triumphantly said to the eldest princess again: "How is it? Auntie, as soon as I came, my eldest brother pulled me away. Should you thank me?"

The eldest princess is still full of anger now, she can't go along with it, she said with a smile on her face: "I have already thought about what to give you?"

"what?"

"I'll take you home! Little brat, I haven't cleaned you up yet."

"No need." Zhou Shuxuan raised his hand to stop him, and said to Miao Li behind him, "Let's go back by ourselves."

After leaving the eldest princess's mansion, all the people outside have been evacuated.Thinking of the imperial decree just now, Miao Li couldn't help asking: "My lord, why doesn't the eldest princess want to be the great Sima?"

"To put it bluntly, I don't want to meddle in other people's business, but to put it more deeply, I want to protect myself wisely."

Thinking that holding power is so majestic, saying that it may not be the beginning of destruction.

Miao Li opened her mouth, wanting to tell Zhou Shuxuan about the relationship between the eldest princess and King Qi, but she swallowed the words again.

In Prince Qin's mansion, not only Cui'er, but also a doctor was guarding Xu's medicine today.

This is the Langzhong that existed in the Prince Qin's Mansion from the very beginning, and he has been living in the Prince Qin's Mansion.Zhou Shuxuan's health is not good now, there are a lot of doctors in the mansion, they live together on weekdays, they often discuss medical skills, and they can talk to each other.

Mrs. Xu herself is not in good health, and often asks for a doctor, and is generous with him, so it is not too difficult to ask anything at this time.

"Mr. Liu, how is my illness?"

"Go back to your mother, your body is already much better than before, you just need to take care of it slowly."

"Will my illness have any effect on my heirs?"

"My lady is weaker, although it is not easy to conceive, but there is still a chance."

There was a touch of surprise hidden between Xu's words, and he asked again: "What about the prince's body? Did it hurt the root?"

Dr. Liu probably knew what she was doing. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "My lord, it's just a leg problem. Everything else is fine."

"Okay, I see. Tweety, take Mr. Liu out."

When Tweety was sending Dr. Liu out, she inadvertently stuffed a money bag into Dr. Liu's hand.

Sitting on the beauty's couch, Mrs. Xu thought to herself, her body was getting worse day by day, it was impossible for Zhou Shuxuan to support her as a princess.No matter who is helping someone from the side concubine, or marrying another concubine from outside, someone will be on her head.

If she could give birth to Zhou Shuxuan's eldest son, everything would be different.Since then, no one has been able to shake her position.

But this matter is really difficult to handle. When she was in good health, Zhou Shuxuan didn't come to her often, let alone now.It has been four or five years since she was married, and she is still in perfect condition.

Maybe she couldn't get Zhou Shuxuan to take the initiative, so she could only use a little trick.

"Tweety, are all the things I asked you to buy ready?"

"Don't worry, ma'am, everything is ready."

Zhou Shuxuan has come back from the Princess' Mansion, and is holding a book in his study in a daze.

He has read these books tens of thousands of times, and he can't see anything new. He just wants to go out and relax now, but it's a pity that his body doesn't live up to expectations.

While complaining about her unhealthy body, Miao Li came in with a bowl of medicine.

Watching Zhou Shuxuan drink the medicine, Miao Li said casually, "My lord, side concubine Xu wants to invite my lord to dinner tonight."

Miao Li was still a little excited, she thought Concubine Xu would not do anything.

After Zhou Shuxuan finished drinking the medicine, he said, "I don't want to go."

Miao Li persuaded, "Your lord, you should go and see more. You can eat everywhere. Concubine Xu hasn't seen you for many days. It's really pitiful to think about it..."

"Okay," Zhou Shuxuan didn't know where his anger grew, he slammed the bowl on the table and said, "I'll go."
