concubines

Chapter 99
Miaoli tidied up and went by herself. When it came to the princess, she suddenly thought of Mrs. Xia. She hadn't done what she promised her, and the lock of hair was still there.

When she arrived at Ningxiang Courtyard, she saw women in a yard, and there were a few familiar ones, so Miaoli remembered that she should visit the mistress today.She almost forgot that she was Zhou Shuxuan's concubine, so she forgot everything a concubine should do.

Enter the house and keep your own rules.Miao Li knelt down and kowtowed, "Slave Miao Li greets the princess."

Xu Meitang was shocked by her appearance, no wonder her father said before that she could recognize Miao Li at a glance without any introduction.

There are still women like this in the world, who have no makeup on their faces, no hairpin rings on their hair, and their clothes are simple, but they are very dazzling.Once she came, all the women in this room became vulgar things.

Xu Meitang thought that if she was a man, she would wish to hold Miao Li in her palm.It's a pity that she is a woman, and her husband still holds such a woman in his palm, so it is doomed that they cannot live in peace.

Xu Meitang held the airs of a princess, and said with a bit of majesty: "Get up."

Miao Li knelt for a long time without any expression of dissatisfaction on her face, so she got up immediately.

Seeing her respectful attitude, Xu Meitang showed a satisfied smile.So what about a concubine, she is not just a lowly slave in front of her regular wife.

Miaoli stood up, always remembering her duty, keeping her head down and not speaking, trying to reduce her sense of existence, trying to make others unable to find fault with her.

It's a pity that she was too dazzling, and someone was picking on her the moment she entered the door.Mrs. Xu leaned on the stool and said faintly: "Miss, have you ever cried? It is a great joy for the princess to enter the mansion. The girl does not come to worship the mistress, but she is hiding and crying. Are you looking for bad luck for the princess?"

Miao Li bowed her head and said nothing, if she said that she was crying for the eldest princess, no one would believe her.It was indeed her indefensible mistake that she didn't come to see the princess with them.

Mrs. Xu probably also deliberately picked on the thorns, no matter what she said, Mrs. Xu must have something to say.Not wanting to be too troublesome, Miao Li just wanted to admit that she had made a mistake when she heard Zhou Shuxuan's voice.

"My lord sees that you are too early in the morning to think about it, and you are looking for bad luck for yourself."

The eldest princess just told Zhou Shuxuan a part of Miaoli's words, and Zhou Shuxuan understood Miaoli a little bit.

Damn it, she was really hurt.He really wanted to pull those men who had hurt her out and beat him up, causing him so much trouble.

The mood towards Miao Li is different, he has something to say to Miao Li.Zhou Shuxuan asked Wei Hai to find her, but he heard that she had come to the princess.After all, he should have come to have a look on the first day.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard what Mrs. Xu said. What he hated most were restless women, who wore down his patience time and time again.

When he came, all the women in the room bent down to salute, "Greetings to the lord."

Zhou Shuxuan didn't look at others, but stared straight at Xu, and asked solemnly: "Xu, have you taken too much medicine recently?"

For the sake of her father's sake, this woman hasn't settled with her for the previous incident.There is no self-awareness at all, and he is still so restless.

Xu was taken aback, not knowing what he was talking about.She is not in good health, and she did ask the doctor for a lot of medicine recently.

The Xu family saluted weakly, and said with a faint smile: "The prince is talking about the concubine's body, thank you for your concern." No matter what you say, smiling is always right, and you can't smile when you reach out people.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't see her smile, and said mercilessly, "This king is talking about your brain. Why is your brain not working after taking so many medicines, and you still don't know what to say or not to say?"

Xu's face turned pale, maybe Zhou Shuxuan said this for Miao Li.With tears in his eyes, he asked, "My lord, what did I do wrong?"

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at her coldly, but still had nothing good to say, "You have to prove that the king is right after saying that you are not smart, don't you know where you are wrong?"

Miao Li bowed her head and listened to Zhou Shu's preacher, thinking that he didn't need to do this.It looks like he is speaking for her, but in fact he is making enemies for her.The more so-called favors, the more uneasy life in the palace.

Xu Meitang watched coldly, those rumors were indeed true.Zhou Shuxuan treats Miao Li unusually, because she said that Mrs. Xu spoke so harshly.In front of the concubine, she didn't save any face for Xu Shi.

Mrs. Xu kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and the pear blossoms were raining, and she said in a crying voice, "My lord, my concubine..."

Facts have proved that crying is useless in Zhou Shuxuan's place. You can't make his attitude better. 01:30, "I'm so stupid now that I can't say anything. Don't come out to embarrass me in the future, and stay in your own yard .”

Want to restrain her?Then she really has nothing, and in the end she can only die of old age and be trapped in the palace.

Xu stopped crying and knelt on the ground, "My lord, I know I was wrong, I will never dare again."

To be a human being is to be able to bend and stretch, and only by keeping the present can we have a future.

Zhou Shuxuan sneered, "It's only now that I know I was wrong, it's too late! You are punished not only for saying something you shouldn't say today, but also for doing something you shouldn't have done before."

It's also because of Xu's embarrassment. For her father's sake, he would visit her from time to time, so he gave her some thought that he shouldn't have.

Clutching her handkerchief, Mrs. Xu had nothing to say.Suddenly, I saw Miaoli's shoes. Miaoli's uppers were made of fabric several times better than the clothes she was wearing.Only now did Xu realize that she had underestimated Miaoli's weight in Zhou Shuxuan's heart, and it was too late to regret.

Mrs. Xu stood up slowly, "The concubine resigns."

Miaoli watched Xu Shi commit suicide by herself, and Zhou Shuxuan planned to let her go in the past, so she felt uncomfortable.

Miao Li was able to position herself well, when Zhou Shuxuan came, she didn't stand behind him like before.Instead, he quietly joined the team of concubines, and even chose an inconspicuous position.

Seeing Mrs. Xu being grounded, now everyone in the room dared to speak, and dared to speak loudly.

Zhou Shuxuan acted like a normal person, holding the servant girl's tea, and asked Xu Meitang expressionlessly, "How is it? Are you still used to living here?"

Xu Meitang said with a smile: "The palace is the home of my concubine, and I am not used to it."

"Yes, you will have to worry about the affairs of the palace in the future. If you have any doubts, please discuss with Mrs. Li."

"My concubine knows."

"There are servants, the most important thing is to be safe and obedient. Those who are restless, thoughtful, and gossiping, you have to train them well."

Xu Meitang was carved according to the model of a lady, and these housekeeping matters are nothing to her.

"I must care about myself."

After Zhou Shuxuan gave his orders, he stopped talking. He came here to talk about things, not to exchange feelings with anyone.

Miao Li slandered him not for marrying a princess, but more like marrying a housekeeper. Wei Hai was responsible for these things before.

Zhou Shuxuan put the teacup away, "Okay, there's nothing else to do, I'm leaving first, and you all should leave too."

He was dizzy looking at so many people. He was a little surprised just now. He didn't remember that he had raised so many women.

"Congratulations to the lord."

Zhou Shuxuan went out, but did not return directly to Shende Hall.Instead, Wei Hai pushed him in the direction of Jinyuan, and then stopped at the corner.

After waiting for a while, Miao Li came over.

"Where are you going?" Zhou Shuxuan said abruptly on the side of the road.

Miao Li was still a little frightened by him, she turned her head and said, "Your maidservant wants to go back."

Zhou Shuxuan didn't mention the past at all, like a normal person, with a straight face as always, and said: "Where are you going back? It's been a few days, you should have enough rest. Do you want me to remind you so that you can remember?" Do your duty?"

She has so many responsibilities, I don't know what he is talking about.Still obediently said, "The servant knows."

When I saw Miaoli being driven to Jinyuan before, I thought she was going to die, and some people who couldn't hold their breath often did things that made things worse.

Now Miaoli has developed again, especially after the princess returned home.Miaoli moved back to Shendetang and lived in Zhou Shuxuan's house.Not only is there no less favor, but it is much more than before.Those people regretted that they didn't flatter Miao Li when she was in trouble.

In Zhou Shuxuan's room, after Miao Li washed Zhou Shuxuan's feet, she and Wei Hai put him to bed together.I didn't know what to do, so I stood there and pretended to be a stone man.

Zhou Shuxuan let her live here tonight, but he didn't mean to let her live outside, as if he wanted to sleep on the same bed with her.

"What are you doing in a daze, come and sleep." Zhou Shuxuan couldn't help saying seeing that she had been in a daze for a long time.

Miao Li was a little embarrassed, she lowered her head and said, "Your servant understands, I will take care of myself first."

She didn't know what Zhou Shuxuan meant, and it didn't seem like she was going to call Xin when he said that he was going to sleep.

It doesn't matter, let's wash himself clean first, he can do whatever he wants.Miaoli washed herself inside and out, put on a clean coat before going over.

Zhou Shuxuan slept inside, Miao Li lifted the quilt and lay outside, still a little uncomfortable.She could treat it calmly before, but for some reason, after fully understanding Zhou Shuxuan's heart, she couldn't be as calm as before.

Zhou Shuxuan was sleeping next to her, and the faint scent of her body fell into his nose. Zhou Shuxuan couldn't help being a little distracted, not tonight.

Zhou Shuxuan calmed himself down a bit before he said, "Do you know why I let you live here?"

Miao Li really didn't know, now think about it carefully.Trying to find clues from memory, his words suddenly sounded in my ears, "You came from Goulanyuan, you should be very good at pleasing men, right?"

Did he make her please him?

Miao Li felt humiliated immediately, and really treated her like a lowly woman, she wished she could sit up and leave.But she can't, she wants to stay.

Miao Li responded softly, "I know."
