concubines

Chapter 231 Low-key
Be polite, this is what Zhou Shuxuan is the last thing he wants to see her.But you can't say in front of everyone, I don't like you having rules.All I can say is, "Get up."

The people behind all looked at her with wide eyes, and met each other. Lin Yanchi was always smart. Although he didn't know Miaoli's status now, he could guess that her status would definitely not be small, so Stand up and say: "The concubine pays her respects to the empress."

Geng Qingru didn't have such good eyesight as hers, she stood firmly behind, looked at Miaoli and said: "Qing'er doesn't know what kind of empress she is, only that she is unruly and doesn't salute when she sees the queen."

Xu Meitang was also standing behind Zhou Shuxuan, her eyes fixed on Miao Li, but Miao Li ignored her.

Miaoli pretended not to hear Geng Qingru's words, and then bowed to Zhou Shuxuan and said, "The concubine still has some things to do, so I will take my leave first."

Geng Qingru said recklessly on the side: "You really are an unruly person, the emperor didn't let you go, so you want to go by yourself?"

Such an arrogant person is either deeply loved by the emperor, or just as stupid as Xu Meitang.

"Shut up!" Zhou Shuxuan scolded, and then said softly to Miao Li, "What do you want?"

Miao Li replied, "The servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that the emperor has selected a palace for the concubine, and the concubine should come to the palace to have a look."

Zhou Shuxuan was very happy in his heart, and she agreed to come and see it, which meant that she was willing to come in and live, so he waved to the people around him and said, "You all go away."

The people around were very well behaved, and they left obediently if they didn't want to.

After she left, Zhou Shuxuan happily grabbed her hand, "I'll accompany you to see it."

Miao Li avoided it calmly, "Don't bother the emperor, the emperor's government affairs are important."

Zhou Shuxuan froze his hand in mid-air, then retracted it, forced a smile and said, "I'm fine today, it's nice to accompany you to see it."

Miao Li stopped talking, waited for him to move forward and followed him.Looking up, she saw the five-clawed golden dragon on the cloak, the eyes were very well embroidered, and she might not be able to repair such a thing in her life.

The central location of Zhaoyang Palace is very close to everything. The queens of all dynasties usually live here, but Zhou Shuxuan left it to her, and she arrived after a short walk.

As expected, the carved beams and painted buildings are extremely luxurious, and the walls are shimmering with golden light under the sunlight.The cleaning is very neat and clean, the flowers and plants on both sides seem to be newly moved, and the soil below can be seen to be somewhat damp.

This place looks like it has been carefully tidied up.

Miao Li walked forward slowly with light lotus steps, the expression on her face was always indifferent, and she was not very happy.

After Zhou Shuxuan took her around, he asked, "Are you still satisfied? Tell me what you are not satisfied with. You must pay attention to where you live."

Miao Li looked around again, then nodded and said: "Satisfied, everything is impeccable, it reminds me of a generation of ancients."

Seeing some expressions on her face, Zhou Shuxuan didn't know whether it was good or bad, and asked, "Who?"

"If you say it, you'll think I'm scolding you."

It doesn't matter if you scold him, just stop being indifferent to him, and finally say a few more words to him.

"I do not know."

Miao Li looked at him with her head tilted, and said seriously, "Emperor Han Cheng."

Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty favored Zhao Feiyan in Zhaoyang Palace and loved her very much, but Zhao Feiyan was a representative of the promiscuous palace.

Zhou Shuxuan's expression also changed, and he explained: "This Zhaoyang is not that Zhaoyang."

When his family was not proclaimed emperor, his ancestral home was in Zhaoyang County. Later, Taizu homesick and built a Zhaoyang Palace in the air, not the Zhaoyang Palace for Zhao Feiyan.

"But Feiyan is the same. Take a look here, is it exactly as described in the book and extremely luxurious." In the future, her reputation will be no better than Zhao Feiyan's?
He just wanted to put good things in her hands, but he didn't expect to become Emperor Han Cheng when he came to her.What's even more exasperating is that what she said really made some sense.Zhou Shuxuan had no choice but to say: "If you don't like this name, I'll change it right away."

Miao Li said with a bit of a smile: "Then I don't like this position, do you want to move this palace? It's just a change of soup but not medicine."

Zhou Shuxuan didn't seem to have such a good temper anymore, so he simply asked, "Then what do you think?"

"I think...it's better to change the palace."

Zhou Shuxuan originally wanted her to choose by herself, but she couldn't choose a title yet, so she just chose one herself.Looking at what she meant now, she seemed to want to choose by herself, and asked, "Where do you want to live?"

Miao Li lowered her head and thought for a while, then said: "I think Qingquan Palace is pretty good."

The most remote place in the palace, quiet and undisturbed, was called the cold palace by the previous generation of concubines.

Zhou Shuxuan looked at her and didn't speak, but his meaning was already very clear, he just disagreed.

This was expected by Miao Li, and said softly: "Children inherit things from their parents' generation. That's where my mother-in-law lived. It's only right for me, a daughter-in-law, to live there."

If she said that, Zhou Shuxuan might agree to other things, but not this one.She was already in poor health, and living in that cold place would probably be even worse.

Zhou Shuxuan refuted her on the spot, "But parents also want their children to live better. They obviously built a good yard in the city, so why bother to live in a thatched house."

Miao Li holds a trump card in her hand and has her own way to deal with him.Sit down on the chair next to you.Turning away from him, she looked angry.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Shuxuan was very helpless, "I just let you live in a good place, are you going to be angry with me?"

Miao Li snorted and said, "You're not. You obviously think it's too far away and don't want the trouble of running around, so you don't let me live there. Anyone who likes to live in a big courtyard lives in a big courtyard. Love it there."

Well, she won, completely!
Zhou Shuxuan coaxed and said, "Yes, yes, you can live wherever you want, but I have to get someone to repair it first, and then you can move in."

Miao Li said forcefully again: "No, you will destroy that place after repairing it. I like the original taste, otherwise I won't enter the palace."

Zhou Shuxuan thought about it for a while, and then said: "Well, it may be too late for the [-]th book of this month. If there is something unsatisfactory, it will be changed at that time."

Miao Li finally nodded.

Xiaohong on the side felt really uncomfortable watching her act coquettishly and unreasonably, and she might have been happy for her before.Now I really only feel bad for her, knowing that she didn't mean it sincerely, that's what I said with a strong face and a smile.

Miao Li counted with her fingers and said, "Fifteen? Are you in such a hurry?"

In fact, it is the day after tomorrow.

"I'm afraid of long nights and many dreams." As for the detailed reasons, both of them knew it in their hearts, so there was no need to elaborate.

Miao Li stood up and said, "Then you decide, it's been a long time since I came out, I should go back."

She could no longer resist, and had no choice but to accept.If you can make her accept it, don't force her to be happy.

"It's better to stay here first, and let the servants get the things."

Miaoli didn't answer, she lowered her head and pretended not to hear, Zhou Shuxuan compromised, "I'll send you back."

Sitting on the sedan chair back to Ciqing Palace, Miaoli lost much expression on her face, quietly looking at the road in the distance.

Xiaohong didn't quite understand and asked: "Mother, why do you have to live in Qingquan Palace?"

Xiaohong has heard about that place, and it seems that people who are not favored live there, even if she doesn't live in Zhaoyang Palace, she wouldn't go to that kind of place.

"Be low-key and do things carefully."

Inexplicably conferring a noble concubine is enough to attract people's attention.If you live in the best palace, you will be regarded as a thorn in the side.After she moved in, as long as Zhou Shuxuan treated her a little better, the name of witch would surely spread.

Life is really difficult.

Miao Li asked again: "Master Lu, have they left the palace yet?"

"I don't think so. I'm still in the imperial hospital. The imperial doctors all want them to give advice before leaving. I said back and forth before, it seems that I will leave the day after tomorrow. It happens to be the time when the empress canonize. But if the empress wants to see them, the servant thinks it's better not to, It was enough to attract people's tongue."

Miao Li smiled and nodded, "I know this, I have a sense of proportion."

She didn't dare to meet them again, there was no one waiting for them to see a doctor outside the palace, they had to leave because of those rumors.She probably knew who spread the rumors, so she didn't say anything.

If only I could be silly, I don't know how happy I am to live without mentioning these things.

Back at Ciqing Palace, Xiaohong still seemed uneasy, and said: "Your Majesty, I still think this is not good for you. Will this push the emperor further away? If the emperor has nothing, he will have something." .”

"Why do you think so?"

Xiao Hong struggled and said: "That's how I feel, if he gets frustrated everywhere with you, maybe he will go to someone to comfort his wounded heart."

Miao Li couldn't help laughing, what she said was really interesting, and asked, "Why are you so experienced?"

Xiao Hong grabbed her handkerchief and said bitterly: "That's He Yuan. The servant quarreled with him before, and then I saw him getting close to the little widow next door. The servant scolded him, and then he became honest."

It was the first time for Miao Li to hear her say that these parents were short-sighted, and found it novel and amusing.Then he asked, "Why is he being honest?"

"He told the servant girl that he was just helping others, and he felt sorry when he saw that there was no man in her family. Afterwards, he bought a lot of things for the servant girl, and he forgave him after seeing his pitiful appearance."

Miaoli thought about it and found it amusing. After laughing, she was a little worried. She took Xiaohong's hand and said: "You are in the palace every day and rarely go home. He naturally misses you. If you are worried, I can let you go back, I have someone here to serve you."

"The servant doesn't go back, so he won't know how to cherish him until he sees him. Besides, he is busy every day. I don't worry if there is a big brother watching him."

Miao Li smiled again and said: "You also know that you will cherish it if you don't see him, why don't you understand when you come to me?"
