Chapter 237 dissatisfied

Zhou Shuxuan is a man of hard work, and he must do it right away if there is any urgent matter, which makes him feel uncomfortable.What's more, it was still about the eldest princess. The next day, the person Miao Li mentioned was passed into the palace.

It's not a court event, so we met in the side hall.

Zhou Shuxuan was a little dissatisfied at first, but even more dissatisfied after meeting.

After returning home, she complained to Miao Li, "He has a soft temper, and his words are vague. He looks like a poor scholar. Did you tell me about him yesterday?"

What I said yesterday was a hero when he was not named, it doesn't look like a hero at all.

Miao Li thought for a while, she was indeed a bit shy when she met people yesterday, but she was quite talented when listening to the conversation.He also looks energetic, not as bad as he said.

"Maybe it's because I'm a little nervous to see you, and I guess you're not satisfied with the glib tongue."

Zhou Shuxuan was furious, and kept asking: "Why are you so nervous when you see me? Am I fierce? He is not afraid of his aunt, why is he afraid of me?"

Seeing his appearance, Miao Li wanted to laugh, so she suppressed a smile and said: "What scholars think is that one day they can serve the imperial court with the title of gold list. He will be nervous when he sees you before he wins the exam."

Zhou Shuxuan slapped the table and came to a conclusion, "This scholar is really not good at all, and he can only be a petty official if he wins the exam. I think he is not suitable for my aunt."

Miao Li was afraid that he was really not allowed to quickly say: "As long as His Highness is satisfied with her own affairs. Do you really want her to die alone?"

Zhou Shuxuan hesitated for a moment, and said: "Then we can't choose such a person. If he marries his aunt, he will become my uncle. I can't stand it."

Miao Li persuaded again, "Even if you are a son-in-law, you have to kowtow when you see you, it's not the same."

The matter must be settled as soon as possible. The eldest princess seems to be in a hurry, and she doesn't know what Xu Meitang is like. If the matter is revealed suddenly, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Zhou Shuxuan suddenly turned his head and said, "I think you seem to be very satisfied with that person."

What's the meaning?Do you think she has taken a fancy to him?Miao Limian asked without changing her expression: "So what do you say?"

"No, so I'm going to bed." Zhou Shuxuan left in a huff.

It's inexplicable, it's obviously talking about the eldest princess, but it's about her without saying anything.Miao Li glanced at Madam Xi who was standing aside with a puzzled face, hoping she would know why.

Mother Xi came over and said with a smile: "Maybe the emperor cares too much about the eldest princess, it's nothing, the empress said a few good words and it's over."

What are these things, Miao Li suddenly misses her previous life, being confined in a small place, she doesn't need to worry about anything.

It was indeed not too early, Miao Li went to the bed and saw that his back was facing outside, so she deliberately lay down inside, took his hand and put it on her waist, and then moved a little towards him.

Zhou Shuxuan originally had his eyes closed, but now he opened them suddenly, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Miao Li said very seriously: "You hug me to sleep every day, I'm afraid you're not used to it." Then she rubbed against his arms, closed her eyes and started to sleep.

Zhou Shuxuan lost his temper in an instant, and he could speak properly, and asked, "Do you really think that person is not bad?"

"I dare not say it. If I say it, you will show me face again."

"I was wrong, I really don't like that person very much."

"Then forget it, wait slowly, there will always be one you like."

He is not a fool to retreat. He knows that it is impossible to wait slowly. The eldest princess cannot afford to wait.

"Forget it, I'll ask my aunt for her opinion tomorrow." Zhou Shuxuan hugged her a little tighter, "Go to sleep."

No one can tell what the situation will be like tomorrow, Miao Li can only hope that the eldest princess can perform well, and then end this matter early.

After the early court, Zhou Shuxuan deliberately asked the eldest princess to stay in the Palace of Qinzheng.I also feel that this is a very troublesome matter. The two emperors failed to settle the eldest princess's marriage. It may be difficult for him to come here.

The eldest princess sat on the side casually and asked, "Why did you call me here?"

"I... I... Auntie, I am worrying about your marriage right now."

The eldest princess held the teacup, glanced at him lightly, and asked, "Why are you free?"

Zhou Shuxuan walked up to her and said, "You're really old, and you really should find someone to settle down with. I think the doorman in your house is just passable, otherwise..."

"He is a nice man, and I value him very much. Have you ever thought that he is a whole round younger than me. You can marry a young woman, so why waste it on me, an old woman? Ruin his future."

"You are a noble princess, golden branches and jade leaves, how can you ruin it? You are obviously a high climber."

"The princess will grow old too. I have never thought about getting married now. I live a good life alone. When you take off my official position, I will find a place to become a monk. This life."

"What's your name? What kind of home do you want to be?"

The eldest princess seemed to have thought about it for a long time, looked at him and said: "Actually, I have had this idea for a long time, but I have always been worried about you. Now that you have settled down in the government, I don't need to worry about it anymore. You should find a man sooner." Da Sima come out and let me be freed as soon as possible."

"aunt……"

The eldest princess interrupted him, raised her hand and said: "There is nothing to say, I have made up my mind. Instead of thinking about giving me a marriage, it is better to find a successor official." Then she stood up and saluted slightly, "Mr. Retire."

Zhou Shuxuan sat in the hall for a long time and didn't realize it. He promised to give her a marriage, so why did she become a monk?Things aren't wrong at 01:30.

The matter of bestowing marriage was brought up by Miaoli. She has such a good relationship with the eldest princess. Didn't she discuss it with the eldest princess before proposing the marriage?Zhou Shuxuan had many doubts in his heart.

Could it be that the eldest princess also thought he would do something to her, so she simply said that herself in order to leave this place of right and wrong.With the conscience of heaven and earth, he really doesn't think there is anything wrong with the eldest princess.

Miao Li didn't know what was going on, so she waited nervously for a day.When Zhou Shuxuan came back in the evening, he took a look at his face. It was neither particularly good nor particularly bad. Anyway, he looked a little sad, and things probably didn't go as smoothly as expected.

Miaoli went over to help him take off his coat, and was thinking about how to ask him, but Zhou Shuxuan spoke by himself, "Didn't you discuss it with your aunt? She doesn't seem to have that meaning."

Miao Li acted hesitant to speak, thought for a while before saying: "How can I tell her about this kind of thing? I just saw that she praised that person, and it seemed to have such a meaning, so... I I'm also worried about her."

Zhou Shuxuan couldn't blame her at this time, knowing that she might have good intentions, "These are not the main problems, but I just mentioned the marriage with her today, and she actually wants to become a monk, saying that she wants to be a green lamp and ancient Buddha for this life. whats the matter?"

It's called a negotiated matter.

Miao Li pretended to be a little surprised and said: "Your Highness, does she really have this idea? I thought it was fake. I saw a lot of Buddhist scriptures in the Princess Mansion. The Eldest Princess also built a Buddhist hall in the mansion. There were many monks at the birthday banquet." Monk, I felt strange at the time."

"Could she... be real?" Zhou Shuxuan still couldn't accept this.

The royal family doesn't beat monks and curse, but they don't praise those things too much. They can only look at it with a normal heart. How could the eldest princess want to escape into Buddhism when she is so good?

"It's not impossible."

Zhou Shuxuan frowned and asked, "But if she becomes a monk, who will manage the affairs of the Ministry of War? If an enemy invades, who will go into battle?"

"Isn't there other officials involved in the Ministry of War? Besides, there is His Royal Highness King Qi. If there is an enemy coming, the eldest princess can also put on armor and go into battle. And you can't count on her alone. She is still in her prime now, what will happen when she gets old? What to do? You always have to train new generals, and it’s not a bad thing to make these plans earlier.”

Zhou Shuxuan felt that what she said was reasonable, but he was still upset. He always felt that his originally balanced life was suddenly disrupted.

I thought about it for a while, but still didn't come up with any results, so I simply sighed and said, "Forget it, let's think about it tomorrow."

Even falling asleep is disturbing, some things seem to keep reincarnating in front of my eyes, and they are all about the eldest princess.When he was a child, he gradually grew up, until now.

The second prince bullied him when he was young, as long as he complained to the eldest princess, the eldest princess would immediately seek justice for him.It's the same when he grows up, as long as he has something unhappy, he can always solve it with the eldest princess.Except for being angry with Miao Li for a few days, there was almost no quarrel at other times.

It seemed that the eldest princess was by his side at every stage, she really existed like a mother, but now she was leaving, which made him unacceptable for a long time.

The next morning at court, Zhou Shuxuan glanced down, but neither the eldest princess nor the king of Qi came.Someone below replied: "Princess Dachang went to the Great Buddha Temple to fast yesterday, and King Qi caught wind and cold and recuperated in the mansion."

Perhaps it was because the eldest princess asked him to accept it slowly, and Zhou Shuxuan didn't ask any more questions. He endured the emotions in his heart and was a little restless all day long.

After that, the eldest princess did not go to court for three or four days. During this period, King Qi appeared once with a sick body, but his face was pale and he was very haggard. Zhou Shuxuan asked him to go back on the spot and invited the imperial doctor to see him.

For a while, rumors spread among the ruling and opposition parties that the Eldest Princess was about to resign from office.

After Miao Li knew these things, she felt relieved, everything was moving in the direction she imagined, and she hoped it would be successful.

"Sister, is the eldest princess really going to become a monk? Is it fun to be a monk?" Li Youfu also heard the news and asked Miao Li casually.

"I don't know if it's fun or not, but when a person is extremely helpless, he can only use this to relieve himself."

Li Youfu nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Then I think the queen will become a monk in the end."

How did it involve Xu Meitang?Miao Li asked, "Why do you say that?"
