concubines

Chapter 138 Meeting
Xiaohong was trembling with joy, and she couldn't close her eyes for a long time under the quilt.

Miao Li raised her hand to help her tuck the quilt, and said softly: "Sleep, I will go talk to your concubine tomorrow and see if I can let you go back, so you don't have to suffer with me."

After hearing what she said, Xiaohong turned around and asked aggrievedly: "Did the girl despise the servant girl, so she keeps letting the servant girl go?"

Miao Li didn't mean that, she was just not used to it.It's not that she didn't have a maid before, and I think she also came from a wealthy family.Later, when her family was in decline, she changed from being served to serving others, and only then did she realize how difficult it is to be a slave.

Miao Li said sincerely: "No, I am just a slave in the palace now, how dare I let others serve me? Thank you concubine for your kindness, and thank you for helping me pack my things today."

Xiaohong shut her mouth and stopped talking, and Xiaohong also knew that her concubine was no better than herself.Apart from being able to sleep with the prince, there is not much difference from a maid.As long as the princess is willing, it is not too much for Miao Li to serve her tea and water.

Xiao Hong encouraged Miao Li and said: "The girl must work hard to become a serious master as soon as possible, and the slaves will serve the girl in the future."

The friendship is still shallow, so there is no need to say too much, Miao Li didn't take her words seriously, and responded straight away: "I will definitely work hard."

Xiaohong didn't say anything anymore, and slowly fell asleep.Miao Li couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and she felt that it had been a long time since she came back for less than a day.

There are Xu Meitang and Xu Meitang's subordinates in the inner house, which will probably cause her a lot of stumbling blocks.There is also a left minister in the government, and judging by the attitude of the left minister in the daytime, it is impossible to cooperate with her much.And the eldest princess, the child in the eldest princess' belly...

The more I think about it, the more Miao Li seems to be more and more sober.She really missed Zhao Yunshan's life, why did she listen to that villain's words in a moment of confusion.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and Miao Li didn't know if she had slept that night, but she only knew that she was going to get up again.She got up earlier than Xiaohong, packed herself up, and was ready to go to Shende Hall.Yesterday, He Yuan should have helped her take care of it with all the adults, and Zhou Shuxuan's people should come to see her.

Looking at this point in time, those adults also descended.Miao Li didn't even eat breakfast, and went directly to Shende Hall.This place is the place she is most familiar with in the entire palace, and only here does she feel like she has come home, as if there is Zhou Shuxuan's shadow everywhere.

Except for Saosa's boy, there is a very awkward person in the courtyard.It's awkward because Miao Li looks awkward. He Yuan is wearing the butler's clothes and directing the servants to do things.

Miao Li is not used to seeing his bunt all over his body, and seeing him like this.He Yuan also noticed her gaze, and his face flushed when she saw her.

"When will you go back?" Miao Li walked over and asked.

He Yuan lowered his head slightly and said: "The lord is afraid that the girl will be bullied, so he told the servant not to go back in a hurry, but to help the girl with some things, and go back after the girl stabilizes."

I have to say that Zhou Shuxuan was very thoughtful.But that person, too, knew she would be bullied, and let her come back.Wait for him to come back and settle accounts with him.

While the two were talking, someone came in from outside.Those who are Miao Li and others, the leader is Zuo Xiang, and when they entered the door, they saw Miao Li and He Yuan talking.

Zuo Xiang secretly remembered it in his heart, but there was no attack at that time.She didn't say hello to Miao Li either, she just walked in and sat on the main seat.

Standing outside, Miaoli could see Prime Minister Zuo's movements clearly, and took back the steps she was going to meet.

Not only Prime Minister Zuo came, but also some adults came with Prime Minister Zuo.Knowing that the people sent by the King of Qin came back today, the adults were slightly surprised to see Prime Minister Zuo sitting on the main seat, but they accepted it in an instant.Zuo Xiang is the father-in-law of the prince, so he is naturally considered half the owner of the palace.It is right to take the lead, and it is estimated that he wants to give the person sent back by the King of Qin a blow.

You adults understand it in your heart, and don't think about it anymore.But today's palace seems a bit strange, no one has come to serve tea after waiting for so long.Even if the prince is not in the palace, this situation should not happen.

Miaoli stopped the tea-serving servant and waited outside, listening to when there was movement inside before going in.

Several adults waited in the house for almost a stick of incense, and finally there was movement inside.First there were whispers, and then Prime Minister Zuo shouted, "Are all the servants of the palace so ignorant? There isn't even one serving tea."

Only then did Miao Li motion for the boy who brought the tea to go in, and then she went in by herself.After entering the door, he said: "Master Xiang, calm down, these slaves really don't understand the rules, and they don't know what to do if the master doesn't come."

Miao Li's meaning is very clear, tea is served only when she comes, and she is the master, even if you sit in the master seat, you are not the master.

Prime Minister Zuo snorted coldly, and pushed the cup of tea farther away, "Miss, what you said is wrong. Now that the master hasn't come, the servants are still doing well. The prince and housekeeper Wei are not here, so the servants should be more relaxed. Understandable."

Zuo Xiang gritted his teeth in his heart and said, you are not the master either!Don't be ashamed.

Now bickering doesn't mean much, Miao Li smiled slightly at Zuo Xiang, it's better for her to introduce herself now, after all, no one here knows anyone except Zuo Xiang.

Miao Li cupped her hands and performed the salute of a scholar, and said to several adults: "I am the person sent by the prince to deal with political affairs with you adults. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me." Miao Li He also took out Zhou Shuxuan's handwriting and handed it to several adults for circulation.

As soon as this was said, the adults in the hall began to whisper.A few words fell into Miao Li's ears, nothing more than what's the use of sending her a woman back, and what a woman can do.

Every time she hears these words, Miao Li wants to drag them to the eldest princess to see what women can do, whether they can turn their heads off.

Miao Li had memorized the list given by Zhou Shu before she came back, so she roughly knew who was who.

Before they finished discussing, Miao Li cupped her hands to the lord who was drooping his hand on the left, and said, "This is Mr. Zhang from the official department."

Still can't figure out the current situation, King Qin's handwriting clearly stated that Miaoli is just like himself, Mr. Zhang glanced at the left minister, and then had to stand up and say: "The official is not talented, Zhang Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, .”

"I've seen adults."

With the beginning, it's easy to say later, several adults greeted Miao Li one after another, and everyone knew each other.

After getting acquainted, Miao Li directly cut to the point, "I heard from Prince Qi's letter, it seems that there are many things pressing down, so I won't exchange pleasantries, my lords, please move to the study."

Zuo Xiang hasn't said a word until now, he wants to see Miao Li's reality before speaking.If she is just an embroidered pillow, then let her go back to where she came from.But Zhou Shuxuan was assured that she would come back, so she should still be able to do it.

In the study, Miao Li sat down directly behind Zhou Shuxuan's desk.She doesn't want to be so arrogant, but the seat can represent many things.

Zuo Xiang sat firmly on the side without speaking, and gave Mr. Zhang a wink.Mr. Zhang understood, and handed over an official document to Miaoli.

"This is the list of officials to be released, please have a look."

Miao Li put it on hand without opening it and said, "I'm not very familiar with the specific situation of these officials, so I can't talk nonsense. I will definitely give you an answer tomorrow."

Zuo Xiang snorted disdainfully and said, "When you arrive tomorrow, the day lily will be cold."

Really want to keep finding fault with her, Miao Li smiled calmly. "Reheating it when it's cold is better than ruining the whole dish."

Zuo Xiang gave Miao Li another extremely contemptuous look.

Miao Li was looking into his eyes, took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "I respect Xiangye as an elder, so don't go too far. Otherwise, if a letter is handed to Wang Ye, Xiangye will think about it." What are the consequences."

You still have to stand firm on your heels, otherwise all the effort will be spent on your own people.

Zuo Xiang was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath, so he walked away.

Zuo Xiang was obviously very angry, and the people below acted based on their faces. They didn't know what Zuo Xiang's attitude was, and they didn't dare to say anything to Miao Li.Afterwards, they talked to Miao Li about some routines, but without saying anything substantive, they left one after another, and the group went straight to Zuo Xiang's mansion.

It was almost noon when the people left, Miao Li did not go back to the concubine's courtyard, but stayed in Shende Hall to read the official document given by Zhang, wanting to find out the current situation as soon as possible.

Xiaohong woke up and couldn't see her people, didn't have to clean up the house and didn't know what to do, so she went back to Li Youfu's place.

"Side concubine, the girl doesn't seem to want to keep the slaves."

Li Youfu bluffed and said: "How can it be, what should she do if she is bullied by herself in a place where she is going to eat people?"

Xiao Hong replied Miao Li's original words, "The girl said that she is also a slave and does not need to be served."

"No, no, no, you must stay. Xiaohong, you are the most powerful maid in my yard, you must protect your sister." Li Youfu patted Xiaohong's shoulder, showing trust from head to toe.

Yesterday's Panning, Li Youfu knew that Miaoli's life would not be too easy.

With such appreciation from the side concubine, Xiao Hong was moved to tears, she clenched her fist and said, "This servant will definitely protect the girl. But side concubine, are you praising your slave?"

"Of course I'm praising you." Li Youfu affirmed her words without any questions, and then quickly changed the subject, "Let's go and I'll take you to find her."

According to Li Youfu's judgment, Miaoli must be in Shende Hall now.

Pulling Xiaohong to go out, he did not forget to bring two pieces of snacks before leaving.

Miao Li didn't eat breakfast, and drank two more cups of tea. Now her stomach was hurting, and she suddenly smelled sweet pastries.
