concubines

Chapter 3
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have been at odds recently. The Crown Princess is the daughter of General Zhenxi, and General Zhenxi, who holds a large army in his hand, will also attend the palace banquet today.In order to comfort his father-in-law, the prince will never give up this opportunity to show the harmony between husband and wife.

As for the reason why they quarreled, it was because of someone's memorial day, Miao Li squeezed the corner of her clothes tightly, she had already burned paper for him before going out.

She was still a little apprehensive, if the prince didn't come, all her plans would be ruined.Fortunately, after waiting for a long time, the prince came and walked straight to the princess.Just passing by the location of Miaoli Station, two steps will come to Miaoli.

What she was waiting for was this opportunity, and she slammed into the rockery hard, and said "ah", attracting the eyes of the three parties.

"Who's there?" The prince shouted with a little anger.

Miao Li came out, looked at the prince in a panic, and kowtowed in a hurry.With a look of surprise on the prince's face, he pulled her up with trembling hands.Today is his memorial day, has he come back yet?

"It's you? I'm not mistaken, it's you." The prince was surprised and happy, and he hugged her into his arms, the corners of his eyes were moist.

Miao Li endured the disgusting hands and feet and struggled non-stop, and shouted loudly while struggling, the voice fell clearly in the ears of the crown princess, and the crown princess cast her eyes here.

From a distance, she saw the person wearing the clothes she picked out in the morning chatting with a boy, thinking of the old things many years ago, her heart seemed to be blocked by something.Completely walked a few steps, wanting to see more clearly.

"Your Highness has identified the wrong person. This is the first time this servant has entered the palace, and I have never seen His Highness before."

The more she struggled, the tighter the prince's hug became, and she yelled almost frantically, "Brother Qing, don't lie to Gu, Gu knows it's you, you must be blaming Gu, that's why you said that."

Before Miao Li could distinguish, she heard a thud over there.Then there was the panicked cry of the little maid, "Come on, the princess has fallen into the water."

Hearing that familiar name, the princess slipped and fell into the water.

When the prince heard this, he thought of the princess, let go of Miaoli and said, "Don't run around, wait here for the orphan."

Grabbing the clothes, he hurried to the place where the princess fell into the water, and ordered the little eunuch to salvage it.

Miao Li breathed a sigh of relief, and retched for a while while holding on to the rockery. She had endured so much hardship just now.The prince is like porridge that has been left overnight in the dog days. It is sour and smelly, and the smell of human scum can be smelled from far away.

After enduring it for so long, fortunately, the goal was achieved, and I was trembling with excitement.Who would be obedient and wait for him here, while the prince's attention was not on her, he ran towards the outer Zhou Shuxuan like the wind.

Not very politely gave a salute, "Please ask the prince to find a maid's clothes for the slave."

Zhou Shuxuan had witnessed the whole process just now, and he didn't know what she was going to do now, so he didn't ask carefully, but just said: "Go forward and turn right to Qingquan Palace."

Qingquan Palace is the place where Zhou Shuxuan's mother Liang Concubine lived. It is the most remote palace in the palace.It was still the palace people when Concubine Liang was there, and Zhou Shuxuan sometimes stayed in the palace and lived here.

When she reached the gate of Qingquan Palace, Miaoli kowtowed three times outside the hall before entering.

Zhou Shuxuan watched coldly, he did everything in order to gain his trust, and he did not forget to pay homage to his mother and concubine before entering the door.

Miao Li changed into a maid's clothes, removed her hair and put on a double bun like the maid.After washing her face and putting on makeup again, Zhou Shuxuan felt that she was a different person when he saw her again.

The heroic sword eyebrows became soft and beautiful, and the thin application of makeup powder made her more beautiful.Just now he was a handsome boy, but now he is a beautiful lady, he is a different person.

Zhou Shuxuan still didn't ask anything, and took her back to the imperial garden.The atmosphere seemed to be a little different from just now, the officials present gathered in twos and threes, chattering about something.Zhou Shuxuan listened attentively, and they were all discussing the incident of the princess falling into the water suddenly.

No one knew why, let alone them, even Zhou Shuxuan, who had witnessed everything, didn't know why.Probably only the person involved knows why, such as the person behind him.

But she kept silent as if nothing happened, and didn't ask him for credit.Just do your own thing and wait for him to sit down.

Zhou Shuxuan's position is next to the prince, and he can clearly see the prince's disheveled face.Zhou Shuxuan usually doesn't like to talk in such crowded places, but now he is in a great mood.I'm sorry if you don't mess with the prince, he's in such a good mood, as if he didn't know anything, he made a conversation on purpose, "Your Highness seems to be in a bad mood, what happened?"

The crown prince turned around with a sullen face, "Don't ask, third brother." Now, no one in the whole palace knows what happened.

Zhou Shuxuan pretended to ask for advice humbly, "My brother is ignorant, I really don't know."

At this time, Miaoli took a cloak to Zhou Shuxuan, and carefully helped him tidy it up.The prince stared straight at the side, thinking that he had appeared for a moment.After picking up the princess, he went back, but there was no one behind the rockery.This person in front of me is very similar to that person, but they are two people with the wrong gender.

The prince shook his head and averted his eyes.

Zhou Shuxuan noticed his eyes, glanced at Miaoli, and asked, "Your Highness likes it? It's just a concubine, so it's okay to give it to the prince."

The crown prince flicked his sleeves, he is a majestic prince of a country, how could he ask his own brother for a small concubine, and lower his status.

Before he could answer whether he wanted it or not, a eunuch shouted "The emperor is here" at the top of his voice.All the people present except Zhou Shuxuan knelt down to greet him.

The emperor glanced at the banquet. It was originally a good palace banquet, but it was ruined by a useless one. He said some superficial words, "My lords, on this occasion of reunion, don't be restrained, just drink with your heart."

"The minister is waiting for the decree." The officials, big and small, sat down again.

The emperor's eyes fell on Zhou Shuxuan, and he was concerned in a lukewarm manner, "How is the third child's leg?"

Zhou Shuxuan slightly bent his body and replied: "Go back to Father, I'm still recuperating slowly."

The emperor asked again: "I see that you seemed to have a very happy chat with the prince just now. It's rare to see your brothers in harmony. What are you talking about?"

Zhou Shuxuan deliberately glanced at the prince, dodged his eyes, and said, "Going back to my father, I'm just talking about some trivial matters."

Concealed, the emperor showed displeasure, "Today's winter solstice, the family is reunited, if you have something to say, you can't tell the emperor, can't you tell your father?"

Zhou Shuxuan replied sincerely, blocking all the faults on himself, "Going back to the emperor, just now... the son made his own decision and wanted to send a concubine to the prince, but the prince refused repeatedly, and then..."

"Bastard!" The emperor picked up his hand and threw it at the prince, "You are still thinking about such a thing."

The princess was lying on the bed dying, and the child didn't know if she would be safe or not.

The emperor got angry, and a large group of people knelt down again, shouting in unison: "Your Majesty, calm down."

General Zhenxi was also among them, and the emperor went over to mix him up personally, "General, please hurry up."

The emperor was afraid of his military power, and if the prince got into trouble, the emperor would have to make up for it.

General Zhenxi comforted the emperor with a few words instead, and the emperor was relieved.The palace banquet officially started at this time, the prince hid in the sound of silk and bamboo and said through gritted teeth: "Third son, Gu knows that you want to kill Gu."

Zhou Shuxuan picked up his wine glass and took a sip, "Where is your Highness, my younger brother was speaking for His Highness just now."

The prince snorted coldly, "If you are for loneliness, you shouldn't mention any concubines."

"There shouldn't be a lot of things in the world. If His Highness can mention it, can't my younger brother not?"

If the prince hadn't complained in front of the emperor, the emperor wouldn't have been lukewarm after his leg was broken, and he didn't even send a doctor.

"Brother, although you and I are blood brothers, there is a difference in respect. I am the king, and you are the minister."

Zhou Shuxuan drank a glass of wine, gently put the glass on the table, glanced at it, "Now that's Jun."

The emperor is still alive, and it is still unknown who will be the king in the future.
