concubines

Chapter 248 Before going out
The days passed peacefully and without waves, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

After careful confirmation by Miao Li, she did have a child.She is also very careful about everything, never touches things that cannot be touched, and does not go out to see anyone, she must give birth to this child this time, and she will not care who dies.

I eat and drink well every day, and I get enough sleep, but I don’t grow any meat at all. I don’t know where all the food went, and I have always been thin and weak.

It's almost the rainy season, and it's been raining non-stop for the past few days.When the sun cannot be seen in the sky, Miao Li sleeps in the house.

Xiao Hong came in with a bunch of lotus flowers in her arms, put them in a bottle and said, "This is from the Empress Yifei. She said that the Empress does not go out to meet people every day. She was afraid that you would miss the flowering period, so she picked some and sent them here."

Miao Li lifted herself up slightly and looked over, the flowers were blooming very well, dripping with rainwater.Youfu Chuhe is the same, Li Youfu must miss her.

Originally, I didn't really want any friends. I was alone and helpless. It's really good or bad, and I won't hurt anyone. How good it is.

It's better to think about it, she has a child, and the days are still long, at least let the child grow up safely, so she can't be helpless.

Miao Li stared at Hua and said: "When she comes over in the future, don't stop her, just let her in."

"Your Majesty, you mean Concubine Yi?"

Miao Li nodded and asked, "Otherwise, who do you think?"

"I also thought it was Concubine Yi." Xiao Hong went to help her sit up, "I can't sleep anymore, the more I sleep, the more sleepy I get, I still have to get up and walk."

Miao Li shrank into the quilt and said: "It's such a big place, where can I go? My legs and feet are soft, I don't want to go."

"It's because of sleeping too much that it's soft, and the legs and feet need to be used more to have strength." Xiaohong smiled and helped her cut her hair. "It's raining outside. It's good for your mother to go out and enjoy the rain. If you feel like it, you can write about it." Poetry or something, the servants will grind the ink for the empress."

What Xiaohong said was the work of literati and elegant guests, but she no longer has the character of a literati in her bones.I just want to stay in peace, and I don't want to chant poems against each other.The so-called talents have also been wiped out, leaving everyone alone.

I thought that I should really walk more, otherwise it would be very difficult to give birth.She is going to be a mother, and she is happy when she thinks about it, but just looking at the rain doesn't make much sense.

Miaoli suddenly pulled Xiaohong and said, "Teach me how to do embroidery."

Xiaohong paused for a moment, then suppressed a smile and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to do something you are good at, don't ask for trouble. These hands are good at doing anything, but they can't pick up that little embroidery needle."

I have been studying back and forth for a long time, and it's not like I haven't made any progress at all. Now I can compare with a seven or eight-year-old girl.

Miao Li pretended to be angry and asked, "Do you dislike me? Think I'm very stupid?"

"Don't dare dare," Xiaohong waved her hands again and again, "It's because the empress is too smart in other areas to be good at everything, so it's normal for her to be somewhat lacking in female redness."

Miao Li snorted and said, "You just despise me for being too stupid."

Seeing how she finally got better, she could talk and laugh.How could Xiaohong refuse to agree, no matter how stupid she was, she had to bite the bullet and teach.

Soon they all got ready for sewing, moved a small stool and sat down beside her, and asked, "What do you want to do this time, Your Majesty?"

"Tiger head hat!" Miao Li felt that it was not very good when she said it, so everyone would know about it, so she immediately explained: "Wu Yun seems to be giving birth, and I want to make a hat for her child."

Xiao Hong thought she had a child at first, but it turned out like this, she still smiled and said: "Then congratulations to your mother, this servant first wishes your mother a success in making a tiger head hat."

Miaoli glanced at her guilty and said: "Stop making fun of me, start teaching quickly, if you don't learn it, it's your teacher's problem."

Probably because she was thinking about the child, Miao Li made rapid progress this time, and she still looks good in doing it.Every stitch is carefully sewn, and if you are not satisfied, you can remove it and redo it.After embroidering and dismantling, after two or three months of work, the hat was finally finished, and a pair of small and cute tiger-toed shoes were also made.

After embroidering the last beard, Miao Li looked at it fondly for a long time, as if she had already seen a child.

Putting it aside, I was about to make a little bellyband, but Xiaohong stopped me, "Mother, the sky has finally cleared up, let's go for a walk."

The rain lasted for as long as they made the hats.Such heavy rain has been rare for decades.Floods occurred everywhere, and almost all counties around the Yellow River caused disasters.

Zhou Shuxuan, who is busy with disaster relief, has not been here for a long time. Now he only sleeps for less than two hours a day, and the rest of the time is spent on various reports.

The money was spent like running water, but the disaster did not slow down by a single bit. A large number of refugees flooded into the capital yesterday.What's more, in other state capitals, he had to focus on the overall situation at this time, so that the country would be stable before he could think about other things.

The money has indeed been spent, and there is only one possibility for this to happen. There must be something wrong with his officials.Those people below may not take him seriously as the new emperor, and they can do whatever they want, doing whatever they want.

He couldn't see the whole country from the memorial, so he had to go out and see it.

Waiting for the people below to pack up and prepare, he will leave almost tomorrow.Today's report has been finished, and the sky has finally cleared up, so he also wants to go out for a walk.Walking around, he unconsciously walked to the gate of Qingquan Palace. He was so familiar with this road that he could walk over it with his eyes closed.

No matter how familiar it is, it is a meaningless journey. He always fails to meet the people he wants to see when he walks this way.

Under Xiaohong's persuasion, Miaoli finally agreed to go outside for a while.Although it was sunny today, the sun was not particularly strong, and they didn't plan to go very far, so they just walked around and prepared to go back.

But when she went out, she met Zhou Shuxuan. When Miaoli looked up and saw him, she turned back without thinking, and asked someone to close the door of Qingquan Palace.

I feel uncomfortable seeing him, and there is no need to meet again in the future.

Zhou Shuxuan wanted to catch up, but he couldn't move forward. His attitude was already very clear, and it was useless for him to catch up.

After several months, we finally met.It is obviously in one place, but it seems like the world is so close.She didn't seem to have changed much, except for the rusty indifference and deep hatred in her eyebrows and eyes, there was no other difference.

Never thought they would become like this, even if she was locked in that night.He didn't think it would be like this either, and at that time he thought they would have no problems in the future.

Seeing that the door was closed, Miaoli asked Xiaohong with a cold face, "Are you two in collusion?"

One persuaded her to go out inside, and the other waited for her outside, cooperating inside and outside, that's what they said.

"I don't dare, I just met by chance." Xiao Hong knelt on the ground, she never thought it would be like this.Zhou Shuxuan hasn't come over for the past few days. He feels that he is very busy, and he never thought that he will meet when he goes out.

"Is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true, the servants will never cooperate with the emperor inside and out, and the servants will also feel wronged for the empress."

"Okay, get up." Miao Li stretched out her hand to pull her up, "It can be considered that I have gone out and turned around, I will go to rest for a while."

After finally persuading people to go out, Xiaohong felt that it was a pity to go out like this.He scolded Zhou Shuxuan in his heart, he would stand at the gate instead of standing.Ming said that he didn't want to see him, but still posted it again and again, just shameless.

Mother Xi roughly knew what was going on, and came over to explain, "It may be that the emperor is going to tour the palace south tomorrow, and it will take a while to come back, so come and have a look before leaving."

Miao Li kept silent, as usual, she didn't get involved in this matter, and she didn't express any opinions.

"It can be seen that the empress is also uncomfortable. If there is something to say when she sees her, she will make a fuss and it will be over. Everyone feels comfortable, and it will not be a problem if this continues."

Miao Li immediately retorted: "Mammy, you are wrong, I don't feel bad. There is nothing in the past, so it can last for a long time. I will live my own life. If Mammy thinks you can't stay here, it will affect your life. Future can leave, don’t persuade me any more.”

She won't look back, she doesn't think it makes any sense.After enduring for so long, you still have to be wronged all the time. What's the point of enduring?
Although Mammy Xi was not as good as Xiao Hong, she still treated her sincerely, knowing that she was speaking in anger, and didn't take it to heart. "The servant girl just watched others live their lives in misery here, and I don't want to see your empress like that again."

Miao Li knew who she was talking about, and still retorted, "I can't get the former one. I don't care about it. It's not the same. I will not live a lifetime of sorrow, and I have never been sorrowful. All the sorrows It was all given by others.”

She should have been outside the palace a long time ago, not to have anything to do with those things, nor to be implicated by those things, to live her own peaceful life.

"Okay, the servant girl really has nothing to say, so she can do whatever she thinks is good."

Mammy Xi withdrew, she could only say that she had tried her best.How obedient and sensible he was when he was good, but how unfeeling he is now.The disappointment has been utterly exhausted, and I will no longer think about him everywhere, nor will I forgive him.

Zhou Shuxuan waited outside for a while, and left silently after Madam Xi's reply, as if nothing would change anyway, do you want to live like this for the rest of your life?It seems a little scary.

Miao Li sat in the room, got sullen for a while, then put it down, trying to make herself happy.She is not alone now, and has a child, and if she is not happy, the child will also be unhappy.

But it's time to show her pregnancy, why her belly hasn't changed a bit, it's almost three or four months old, maybe she read the wrong pulse.It's not right, she has obvious pregnancy reaction, so she shouldn't be wrong.

She still felt a little uneasy from what she could tell, so she had to find someone to take a look, fearing that the joy would be in vain.
