concubines

Chapter 263
In front of Wu Yun, Miao Li didn't show anything, her eyes fell on the child in her arms, and she asked, "Is it a girl or a boy?"

She has never raised a child, and she really can't judge the gender of such a small child.

Wuyun is not there, the child moved closer to her, let her see the child clearly, and replied: "It's a girl."

"It's so pretty. Those big eyes are exactly the same as her mother's." Miao Li stretched out her hand to tease the child, and then asked, "Have you chosen a name yet?"

"I took the first name as Meng Xiru, and the younger name as Meimei, because she had a rose-red birthmark on her body when she was born, and it seems to have disappeared now."

"Meimei?" Miaoli said to Xiaohong with a face full of love, "Go and get that piece of jade."

"I got a piece of ruby ​​before, and I didn't know what to carve, so I didn't touch it. I just found out today that it was reserved for the little girl." Xiaohong had already brought the jade, and Miao Li opened the brocade box and handed it over. Going to Wu Yun's hand, "Take it back, and carve whatever you want for the little girl."

Wu Yun lowered his head and looked, this is not only a piece of red jade, the quality of the jade still looks very delicate, it is worth a lot of money at first glance.Quickly declined, "This is too expensive, I dare not accept it."

"It's for our Meimei." Miao Li was really itchy to see it, she reached out to take Meimei, hugged her carefully, and said in a soft voice: "It's also our children who can't speak yet, if they can speak, they will definitely I would say mother, please take it, it is because my aunt likes Meimei."

Wu Yun had no choice but to accept it. After receiving it, she was ready to kowtow. Xiaohong hurriedly supported him, and Miao Li also said: "Don't do obeisance. Those who go obeisance are not Bodhisattvas. They are all from the same family, and they are not ordinary. There is no difference between others, and I will be angry if I do this again."

"Thank you sister." Wu Yun thanked her and sat down again.

Qingxi sat on the side for a long time without speaking, and now he said something sullenly, "Auntie is not happy anymore, and Auntie doesn't give Qingxi anything."

With such a small appearance, Miao Li stretched out her hand to pinch his face, and said with a smile: "I can miss you, you go with Aunt Hong, and take what you like."

Wu Yun was about to stop him when he heard Qingxi continue saying, "Qingxi wants Liu Er's pony, the one that can run."

Miao Li left Zhaoyun Mountain to make it for Liu Er, one horse and one person, and the horse would run away when the person was put on the horse.Liu'er has always been very precious and never let others play with her.Qingxi watched eagerly the whole time, but didn't dare to go up to grab it.

"Okay. Auntie will make it for you. Is there anything else you want?"

"There are many more. I also want a box like Liu'er, which is full of toys." In the eyes of children, things that are fun are worth more than anything else.

Miao Li still agreed with one mouthful, pulled Xiao Hong, and said, "Go get someone to find some good wood."

Xiaohong said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, it's better to draw the blueprint and let the craftsman do it."

Doing those things hurts your hands the most, and if you are not careful, you will scratch the flesh.

"Go ahead, you always said that I'm too bored, now I just find something to do." Miao Li thought for a while, then handed the child back, stood up and said, "Forget it, I'll go with you, or you I don’t know what to look like.” Turning back to Wu Yun again, “You guys sit here for a while, I’ll be right back.”

After going out, Miao Li still had a little smile on her face, but it was a little weaker than before.Say to Xiaohong: "Don't tell them how I am doing, if you want to talk about it, talk about it. Got it?"

Xiaohong nodded and said, "Understood."

My family didn't tell me, and my life was too uncomfortable.I don't want to share my pain with others, for fear that it will affect others.

"Talk to them too, no one is allowed to talk nonsense." Miao Li remembered another thing, "Don't let the new maids appear in front of them. I don't know who they are, they are not reliable."

"The servants know about it, and they will definitely do it well, so don't worry about it, the empress."

Miao Li felt relieved and let her go to work.

Xiao Hong just met Xiao Zhuozi when she went out, she pulled him and said, "Go find some wood, it should be softer, suitable for carving things."

"What do you want this for?"

"The empress wants to carve something for the young master, go quickly."

Xiao Zhuozi also glanced in Miaoli's direction, and asked, "Is your lady better?"

"Someone from my natal family has come, and I'm somewhat more energetic, and I'm more talkative than before, chatting and laughing with the children."

Hearing that Miaoli was much better, Xiao Zhuozi was also happy, and sighed: "It would be great if these two children lived here forever."

The idea is good, but how is it possible?Only the emperor's children can live in the palace all the time, and it is not in accordance with the rules to keep other children.

Miaoli went back again, and Wuyun went to nurse Meimei behind, so she wandered around the house alone.Seeing her coming in, he ran over and hugged her thigh, raised his head and asked, "Auntie, why do you live in such a dilapidated house?"

Miao Li looked around the room and asked deliberately: "I think this place is pretty good, where is it broken?"

"But this place is not as good as the previous one, nor is it as big as the previous one."

Miao Li still felt strange in her heart, squatted down and looked at him and asked, "How do you know so much at such a young age? Who taught you?"

Qingxi broke her fingers and said, "I'm not young anymore, I'll be three years old soon, I discovered it myself, I don't need others to teach me."

"Auntie doesn't believe it, three years old is still very young."

"I'm really not young anymore, I can read and write. My father even praised me for being smart."

Clever may be clever, but he was still a child, and he didn't realize that Miao Li successfully changed the topic.He stretched out his arms to hug him, and said, "Your father was also smart when he was young, and he could read when he was very young. When he was a little older than you, he would be able to write in style."

"Did Daddy ever be young?"

"Yes, they all grew up from children to adults."

"I thought Daddy was always that big." Qingxi suddenly hugged her face again, "My aunt must have looked good when she was young, she was prettier than my sister."

People who are so older will praise people for being good-looking, and it's okay to grow up.Miao Li thought he was complimenting herself and asked, "Why?"

"Because my aunt is the most beautiful person I've ever seen."

Miao Li hugged him and asked, "Why is your mouth so sweet, did you secretly eat candy?"

"No, what I said is true. My aunt is as good-looking as sister Shu'er."

"Who is Sister Shu'er?"

Qingxi clenched her fists and said very seriously, "He's the one I want to marry when I grow up."

Miao Li held back her laughter and couldn't bear it anymore, such a little older child actually said that he was going to marry someone. "But you are too young."

"No, I want to. It must be settled now, or she will run away with someone else. Auntie, please tell my father and let him propose marriage to Sister Shu'er."

Seeing how anxious he was, Miao Li couldn't bear it anymore, it was so much fun.

Wu Yun came out of the room and heard him talking nonsense, "Qingxi, what are you talking about with your aunt again?"

"I'm talking to my aunt about marrying you a daughter-in-law. Go quickly, or someone will snatch her away."

Miao Li smiled and asked, "What's so good about that sister. Are you in such a hurry?"

Qingxi tilted her head and thought about it for a while, then said seriously: "She is good-looking and a little silly, she doesn't know what I say to her. But I like her silly, I'm smart enough .”

Miao Li now believes that he said those things himself, and no one taught them.This is a villain, everything he says is clear and logical, and ordinary adults probably can't teach him.

In the Hall of Qinzheng, after several ministers went out, Zhou Shuxuan had some free time and asked Gao Fu, "Have you been sent there?"

Gao Fu nodded and said: "I have already sent them there, we have chatted for a long time, the imperial concubine talked and laughed with them, and the mood has improved a lot."

Zhou Shuxuan nodded slightly, indicating that he knew.This is the only way to make Miao Li happy. She likes children and will not put her emotions on children, so she will be happier.

"Does the emperor want to go and have a look?" Gao Fu said, "The empress is in a better mood now, and she told the servants not to gossip with the uncle and madam. The emperor may not go to the empress like before."

That didn't make any sense, the intimacy and kindness she pretended would only make the two of them farther and farther apart.It was as if he had just brought someone in and was about to go over and ask her what benefits she wanted.

"Forget it." Zhou Shuxuan waved his hand and said, "I won't go there. You can order the Imperial Dining Room to make a few more dishes and send them over, and make more snacks that children like. Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs send some daily necessities over. They may have to wait in the palace. stay here for a while."

"Your Majesty, isn't it out of line?" Gao Fu boldly reminded.Everything in the palace is regulated, and it may not be appropriate to give more.

Zhou Shuxuan asked with a straight face: "Are rules important?"

Gao Fu wiped off his cold sweat and asked: "It's not important, it's not important at all, the empress is the most important."

Yes, the empress is the most important thing, and it is also important for the empress to be happy.

As long as Miaoli can be happy now, he will give anything.

Just as Gao Fu went out, the little eunuch came in and answered, "Your Majesty, Concubine Wan is here."

Zhou Shuxuan asked blankly, "What is it?"

"It is said that soup has been cooked for the emperor and brought over."

"No, tell her not to go out if she has something to do. If she is really busy, go back to her mother's house and don't have to come back."

Lin Yanchi didn't realize what he said for a long time. Is this what the emperor said to the concubine?Now there are only three women in the palace, and if she is allowed to go back, there will only be two.

Lin Yanchi suddenly had a slight doubt, Zhou Shuxuan's attitude towards Miao Li was certain, but his attitude towards Li Youfu.It seems that it is different from others, Li Youfu has always been in charge of the affairs of the palace.

But the emperor's love for Li Youfu is not like a man and a woman, it's interesting.
