concubines

Chapter 280 Desecrate Yourself
Mammy Xi had no choice but to help her tuck the quilt and leave.

Miao Li was facing the wall, without the slightest desire to sleep.How can she be uncomfortable?She shouldn't feel bad at all.

She also learned this when she was a child. Although her mother didn't want to teach it, she still taught it.Tell her that after getting married, she must be tolerant. She may not be the only one with her, so she has to learn to accept it.

And now she doesn't like this anymore, she only has full hatred for him, it doesn't matter how many more he marries, she can even push him out with her own hands.

But it was a very strange thing, and she felt a little unexplainable sadness in her heart.

Zhou Shuxuan stood outside Qingquan Palace, looking up at the sky with the cool breeze blowing.He couldn't stay inside for a while longer, and he couldn't bear to leave.

For so long, it was the first time she had spoken so many words to him, but every word was as sharp as a sharp sword and pierced his heart.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he had almost forgotten what she said, and he would rather not remember.

Just pretend that he hasn't been here this time, and didn't hear her say these words.

"Your Majesty, it's too cold outside, go back." Gao Fu persuaded.

Zhou Shuxuan shook his head and said, "Wait, I will stand for a while."

After standing in the cool wind for a while, Zhou Shuxuan's illness became more serious on the second day.Coughing non-stop, there is no way to go up.

It was said that he was ill, but the ministers didn't believe it.I thought he did it on purpose, and didn't want to face Na Fei's matter head-on.But the ministers are anxious to death, he definitely can't do this.

Now that the emperor has no elders who can speak, the ministers have turned their ideas on their peers.

So Zhou Shuxuan's tenth younger brother, now King Xiang, entered the palace.

He was still a child before, but after a few years he has become a handsome young man.It looks pretty good, after all, at this age, things are not very reliable.

Although Zhou Shuxuan did not go to court, he was still processing the memorial while leaning on the couch.I heard that King Xiang was coming, but I didn't know what he was doing, so I let him in.

Zhou Shuxuan may not have seen him for a long time, and saw him stand up from the ground.I saw a face that was very similar to myself, but much younger than myself.He didn't feel it when he was alone, but now he really wants to sigh that time flies by.

It's no wonder that the minister urged him to have a child, he is really not young anymore.

After King Xiang sat down, he said without making any foreshadowing: "Your Majesty, my brother met Qian Hanlin's daughter that day. That girl is blessed and quite plump, and her face looks like a silver plate, which means she is very fertile. Yes, the emperor will be able to embrace the two after three years in the harem."

Gao Fu pinched his thigh to hold back his laughter, Zhou Shuxuan was also in a daze, and it took him a long time to realize what he had just said.After thinking about it, he also found it funny, he really should take good care of his brothers.

Zhou Shuxuan held back his smile and asked deliberately: "I just don't know what kind of temperament that girl is? Have you inquired?"

King Xiang tilted his head and thought for a while, "Temperature...seems to be quite fun, grown up and white, like a big white steamed bun, but temperament is soft, quite cute."

Zhou Shuxuan still wants to laugh, it's time to find him another master who studies, these are all metaphors.I was quite clever when I was a child, it shouldn't be like this now.

Zhou Shuxuan took a deep breath, nodded his head pretendingly, as if he was still thinking about it, and asked, "How old is she?"

"It's about the same age as me. But it doesn't matter how old you are, as long as you can have children. I heard that the emperor's brother is worrying about the heirs, and I also worry about the emperor's brother. If I have a child, I will give the emperor one. .”

Zhou Shuxuan's smile froze suddenly, as if it was a solution. "There's nothing to worry about, you can go back first."

"Your younger brother won't go back. My younger brother is here to be a matchmaker. Brother Huang won't promise my younger brother not to leave."

Zhou Shuxuan said without changing his face: "I will invite you another gentleman, go back and study hard, avoid dealing with courtiers, and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

King Xiang was a little stunned, but he is also a prince, and he is very sensitive in some places, so he will not be so persistent soon, he stood up and saluted: "My brother will leave."

After King Xiang went out, Zhou Shuxuan put down the notebook in his hand and asked Gao Fu, "Where did Wei Hai go?"

"Master Wei has arrived and is waiting outside the hall now."

"Call him in."

He Jinzhou is a capable minister, and he is very capable, but he doesn't know how to be flexible, or how to do things according to his wishes, which can be seen from the fact that he is allowed to accept his concubine.

Wei Hai is different. Whether Wei Hai is an official or not is secondary. The important thing is to do things for him and do things according to his wishes.It's been a few days since I left it outside, and now I can return to him and be a close minister.

After Wei Hai came in to salute, Zhou Shuxuan asked someone to lift a stool for him to sit and talk.

Holding tea, Wei Hai asked with a smile: "I have only left for a few days, and the emperor misses me again?"

"Talk too much!" Zhou Shuxuan cursed with a smile, and said with a hint of discussion: "I won't leave when I come back this time. I will find you something to do in the capital."

Wei Hai smiled and said: "I don't care, I'm doing things for my master anyway, so I can stay where my master lets me go, and it's better to be closer to my master."

These words just sound more pleasant, that bastard He Jinzhou really pissed him off these days.

"Don't rush to rest when you come back. Have you heard about the officials asking me to be a beauty in the harem?"

Wei Hai nodded, "I heard about it on the road, is the emperor not willing?" How could he and Miao Li be willing in that state.

Zhou Shuxuan sighed, "Don't you know if others don't know? The number of people in the palace finally decreased, and I was crazy to bring in some more."

"But this is really not a problem, there is not even a prince, the minister's persuasion is correct." Wei Hai suddenly asked: "The emperor and the empress...are they still the same?"

Zhou Shuxuan nodded helplessly.

"Your Majesty's temper is indeed like that, she would rather bend than bend." This matter is really difficult, Wei Hai sighed and said: "If the emperor really accepts the concubine, there is probably no room for redemption with the empress. If you don't accept the concubine, all officials will The emperor can't get through there, and he will definitely keep urging, it's difficult!"

"It's actually not difficult, I have a way."

Wei Hai looked at him in disbelief, he had already used the method, there was no need to wait until now.

Zhou Shuxuan was silent for a while, and it took a long time before he said: "Actually, as long as you put the problem on me, they might not press you anymore, and there won't be so many people who want to marry their daughters into the palace."

The reason for urging him to accept the concubine is for him, and some of the ministers are probably for his own sake, thinking that his daughter can be a concubine or something.

"The emperor means..."

"That's what you mean."

Wei Hai swallowed his saliva, thought for a while and asked again: "Does the emperor want to slander himself for the purpose of not accepting concubines?"

Zhou Shuxuan wanted to tell the outside world that he couldn't have children, that's why he hadn't had children for so long.This kind of thing doesn't sound very good to ordinary men, let alone him.Not only will he be talked about by his subjects, but he may even be laughed at, which is really not a good thing.

Wei Hai said again, "Your Majesty, I really want to advise you to think twice before acting. People live for the sake of face. If this is said, not only will the face be gone, but also the inside will be gone."

Zhou Shuxuan naturally thought of this, and if he could say it, it meant that he didn't care much. "I didn't ask you to go out and spread the word, so you just go out carefully and spread the word. This kind of thing usually spreads quickly, and soon the whole city will know it. It's fine if you can spread it."

He also knows how to pass fast!
Wei Hai tentatively said again: "Your Majesty, if it's really not possible, you can really change it. It will be a little uncomfortable for a while, but maybe it will not be uncomfortable after a long time. There is no need to sacrifice so much."

Zhou Shuxuan sat and watched, and asked solemnly: "When did you change your name to He? If you are like He Jinzhou, I will..."

Wei Hai replied with a playful smile, "Does the emperor also want to give me some beauties? I don't need too many beauties, just two or three are enough."

Zhou Shuxuan really wanted to raise his hand to him, Wei Hai hurriedly hid, "I know I'm wrong, the emperor don't blame me, I will do it right away."

Wei Hai ran away without looking back.

Zhou Shuxuan thought about it for a while, and felt that he should prepare with both hands, so he said to Gao Fu: "Please let someone ask about the big white that King Xiang said just now... What is the character of Qian Hanlin's daughter? If it is not very good, just pay attention. Let’s look at good marriageable women, you can pay more attention to a few.”

The palace inquired about the marriageable women and soon got out, and the ministers also stopped for a while, thinking that Zhou Shuxuan had finally figured it out and started to accept concubines.

When people outside the palace knew about it, people inside the palace inevitably knew about it, and Miao Li also knew about it. There was not much reaction on her face, and she didn't say anything.

But someone is more anxious than her, Xi Ximao wanted to persuade her yesterday, but Miao Li didn't give her a chance, and now she couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, it shouldn't be like this, you shouldn't support the emperor to accept the concubine."

"What's wrong?" Miao Li became a little interested in her attitude.

Mother Xi is biased towards Zhou Shuxuan in her heart, Miao Li has always known this.Now that the concubine is beneficial to Zhou Shuxuan's heirs, she actually holds an opposing attitude.

"As soon as there are more people in the palace, there will definitely be unsightly people who will come to trouble the empress. Just like before, if you live behind closed doors, disasters can still come from the sky."

It's for her sake, and it's not unfounded worry.

"Look, is there any way for me to go out and live for a while, and I will come back when they give birth to their children one by one and their positions are stable." Miao Li added, "Actually, it's okay not to come back. , it seems that there is no need to come back."

"Your Majesty, it is impossible for the Emperor to let you out!"

Miao Li tilted her head and asked, "He already wants someone else, why can't he let me go?"
