Chapter 192 Will Not Compromise
Zhou Shuxuan didn't want to quarrel with her, the eldest princess was different from outsiders after all.Along the way, besides interests, there are also feelings.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't reply immediately, and was silent for a while and said: "I asked the imperial doctor. Although the emperor can't wake up, but it can be delayed for half a year at most. Auntie should choose another person as soon as possible, or choose the elder brother. I can supervise now State affairs, after you have selected someone, I will make room for you."

He didn't want to quarrel, and calmly arranged the next thing.He had already made a choice, and he didn't choose to play.

He had become determined after eating the weights today, the eldest princess gritted her teeth and asked, "Think about how difficult it is for you to get to the present, and how much effort you have spent. Don't you think it's a pity to vacate the seat now?"

"It's a pity, why don't you feel it's a pity?" Zhou Shuxuan smiled softly, "But when I think of wronging her, I feel even more pity and uncomfortable."

This kind of love!
For a woman, really as such.

Seeing his appearance, the eldest princess was also very angry. If she continued talking, she would probably quarrel again, so she stood up and walked out, "Calm down and think about it, is it worth it?!"

There's no need to calm down, he's thinking clearly now, just one answer, it's worth it!He doesn't regret it now, and he won't regret it later.Only Miaoli is good with him, and he can do anything.

After the eldest princess returned, the East Palace seemed to be back to normal.Except that the prince is not in a good mood, there is not much difference.

Zuo waited for the result of the eldest princess' persuasion. After waiting for a long time, Zhou Shuxuan did not go to pick up Xu Meitang, and there was no news from the East Palace.Prime Minister Zuo couldn't sit still anymore. In a few days, everyone would know the news that the Crown Princess had been abandoned. At that time, his old face really couldn't be put away.So Prime Minister Zuo stopped the eldest princess at the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

"Your Highness, what's going on with the Prince...?" The Eldest Princess is not in a good mood these days, but compared to Zhou Shuxuan, she is much softer.So Prime Minister Zuo thought about it and came over to find her.

The eldest princess doesn't want to mention Zhou Shuxuan now, and she gets angry when she mentions it, and said with deep resentment: "It's still the same as before. I dare not recruit him."

The left minister said again: "The princess..."

"Crown princess, heh," the eldest princess sneered, "If you dare to mention the princess now, you will be ready to change the prince at any time!"

The prime minister on the left was already in a cold sweat, but no matter how scary it was, he had to have the courage to ask: "There is an imperial decree from the emperor, the prince dare not disobey the imperial decree, right?"

The eldest princess sneered again, then looked at him and said, "Do you think he dares to push him into a hurry? That's to restrain the prince. He doesn't want to be the prince at all now."

Zuo Xiang also saw the scene that day, and after going back, he had nightmares for several days in a row, dreaming every night that he was chased and killed by Zhou Shuxuan with a sword.But for the benefit of the family, he still had to grit his teeth and continued: "It's not up to him to decide whether to be the prince or not. He was personally appointed by the Holy One."

The eldest princess has a big head now when talking about these things. Everything was fine before, but suddenly it became like this.Annoyed, he said, "I don't know why you are in such a hurry? Can't you wait for him to calm down before saying no? The more you push him now, the more he will fight against you."

"Then... is it possible to pamper him? If the crown prince resists the decree and refuses to obey it, the imperial decree is just a decoration. Treat the sacred order as a trifling matter, listen to it as much as you want, and refuse to listen to it. How can the prince behave if it is spread? And His Highness Indulging him like this, others will not be able to do it if they know His Highness's princess protector." Prime Minister Zuo stomped his feet anxiously, and what he said seemed to be good for Zhou Shu.

The eldest princess looked at him and sneered endlessly, laughing so that Zuo Xiang's heart shuddered. After a long time, the eldest princess said: "Old man Xu, you have grown courageous and courageous as you age, and you are threatening me!"

Zuo Xiang turned pale all of a sudden, it's impossible that the eldest princess didn't know what he was thinking about.This was his last resort, since he had chips in his hand, he had to use them.His family's daughter is the crown princess chosen by the emperor, the future queen, there is no reason to be divorced like this, otherwise they will be threatened with the imperial decree.

"I don't dare to say anything, but what I say is from the bottom of my heart."

Tell him what's on his mind!Threatening them from the bottom of my heart!

The eldest princess patted him on the shoulder, and said in a softer tone: "Don't be so anxious, I won't let him do things, take your time."

Hearing what the eldest princess said, Prime Minister Zuo still felt uneasy, who knows if the aunt and nephew joined hands to fool him. "Your Highness, look... the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the Crown Princess cannot be allowed to celebrate the New Year at her mother's house."

Take measures!

The eldest princess couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "I know, get out."

Prime Minister Zuo rolled away with a smile on his face. This was a promise from the Eldest Princess that Xu Meitang would be able to return to the East Palace years ago.

He was happy, but the eldest princess couldn't stop worrying.Counting with my fingers, the new year will be less than 20 days away, Zhou Shuxuan doesn't seem to have changed his mind, it is simply too difficult.

The eldest princess didn't want to see Zhou Shuxuan very much now, so she cheered up and went to the East Palace.Standing at the door, take a few deep breaths and tell yourself not to lose your temper.

Zhou Shuxuan is dealing with government affairs now, and he hasn't stopped since he opened his eyes in the morning. He wants to get out of the palace as soon as possible after finishing his work.She said that she would go to see Miaoli often, and she couldn't hear from her once she went, so she must think that she was lying to her again.

The eldest princess came in, and first asked: "Have you read the booklet handed over by the Ministry of War in the morning?"

Zhou Shuxuan replied without raising his head: "I have read it. Since the local prefectures and counties have no food due to the snowstorm, they will send it from nearby. No matter what, the soldiers must be fed, but no matter what, the common people cannot be robbed."

"Does the nearby government office have any extra food?"

"I've asked the people from the household department to handle it. If there is no one, I will transport it from Jiangnan."

The eldest princess asked a few more things, and Zhou Shuxuan answered everything fluently, as if he was fully prepared.The eldest princess said appreciatively: "It seems that your efficiency in doing things has improved a lot."

Zhou Shuxuan said in a cold tone: "Yes, I want to finish the backlog of things as soon as possible. It doesn't have to be so troublesome when someone else takes over."

"You..." The eldest princess wanted to speak but didn't know what to say, she said it so easily, as if changing the crown prince was as simple as resigning an official.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't answer the words, and continued to do his own thing.

The eldest princess had no choice but to speak again, "Today, Prime Minister Zuo came to see me again. Do you know what happens if you resist the decree and don't obey it?"

Zhou Shuxuan said without changing his face: "At most it will be beheaded, I don't care, just come."

The eldest princess was so angry that she kept sighing and sighing. Facing Zhou Shuxuan like this, she even missed the emperor a little bit. At least the emperor still listened to people and would not do too much for the sake of the country.He is the only one who regards a woman as more important than Jiangshan Sheji.

"You! I don't even bother to talk to you!" The eldest princess was really helpless. After a while, maybe after a while, she stood up and walked away. She didn't want to care about these things in her life.

Zhou Shuxuan said to himself while reviewing the papers: "I don't want to talk to me, and I don't want to talk to you. It's such a simple thing. Let her be a princess now and become a queen in the future. Everyone is happy. I compromised once today, and I will be happy in the future." You have to compromise every time. It doesn’t matter if you are an emperor or not. Anyway, you are a puppet under the interests of others. If you want me to compromise, there is no way!”

Suddenly he felt that he was not so impulsive, and that it was the right choice not to rush to ascend the throne, otherwise he would not even have the chance to choose again.

He glanced at the memorial on the table again, hurry up and approve it, he can leave the palace after it is approved.

At that time, his head was also flooded, and he insisted on being an emperor.It's great to be an idle prince, live your own life, no one can control him.

While complaining in my heart, I was reviewing the papers, and it was getting dark after reviewing.The ministers outside probably knew what he was going to do today, and when he was about to finish approving the papers, they sent him another stack.

Seeing the pile of papers piled up like a hill, Zhou Shuxuan clenched his fists, counting them as ruthless.Even if he stayed up all night today, he had to finish approving them, and he would go out tomorrow.

As the moon slowly rises and the night falls, he misses Miaoli more and more.If she was by her side to make him a cup of tea at this time, this life would be enough.

Stretched and walked outside, wanting to go out to get some air, my head was almost muddy after a day of approving memorials.

It was only when I went out that I realized that it was snowing outside. It seemed to be the first snow of this year. I don’t know what delayed it. The first snow came so late.

Gao Fu put on a cloak for him, and asked with a lantern in his hand, "Your Highness, it's snowing so hard, it's better not to go out, I'm worried about the slippery road."

Zhou Shu Xuanli ignored him and walked outside.I didn't know where to go, so I just strolled casually, and suddenly I smelled a tangy plum fragrance while strolling.

Zhou Shuxuan stopped and asked, "Where does the plum blossom fragrance come from?"

Gao Fu replied: "A few more steps will take you to the Plum Garden. The flowers should be blooming there. Would you like to go and have a look, Your Highness? The Plum Garden is full of red flowers, which is really beautiful."

Hearing what he said, Zhou Shuxuan became a bit interested, "Lead the way."

I walked a few more steps to the plum garden, and sure enough, the flowers inside were blooming.It's not all over, but it's interesting.Snowy night meets plum, such a beautiful scenery, it would be nice if the beautiful woman is by your side.

Thinking about it, Zhou Shuxuan suddenly moved his mind, and carefully picked out a bunch of good plum blossoms with a lantern, and picked them off with his own hands.Gao Fu reached out to take it, but Zhou Shuxuan refused.

After picking off the plum blossoms, he hurried to the East Palace.There was no further approval of the memorial, and I changed into the clothes for going out, and I was about to go out with plum blossoms.

It was only at this time that Gao Fu came to his senses, he stopped him and asked, "Where are you going at this late hour, Your Highness?"

"Get out of the palace!"

"Your Highness, absolutely not. It's snowing and the road is slippery. What should you do if something happens to Your Highness?"

Zhou Shuxuan didn't even look at him, and walked out without looking back.

What else can I do if something goes wrong?If you die, you will be buried, if you don't die, you will come back.
