concubines

Chapter 9

I don't know why he was getting angry, but thinking about it, it was probably because of himself running away just now.It's because she forgot the rules. After spending so long with Zhou Shuxuan, she found that although he has a bad temper, he rarely gets angry with his servants unless it touches his bottom line.

"I know my mistake." Miao Li kowtowed and made a big salute.Seeing that Zhou Shuxuan's face was still cold and angry, he quickly explained, "The maidservant is going to get the powder box. Seeing that the prince looks so good, I want to cover it up."

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at the compact in her hand, and stopped talking.That's right, Miao Li went over on her knees, and tried her best to raise her hands to powder his face.

It has a very light smell. It turns out that this is what she usually smells like.I saw that there was a black thing in her hand, which was very similar to that used by female thrushes.Zhou Shuxuan thought of Zhang Chang, and his face suddenly became hot.

It's so strange, Miao Li thought in her heart, why the prince's face is getting redder and redder.

"Your Highness has a fever? Is your face so hot?" Miao Li asked with a bit of concern in doubt as the abnormal temperature came from between her fingers.

Zhou Shuxuan slapped her hand away, and then asked someone to come in and push him out.

Miao Li knelt on the ground in a daze, why did she become moody again because of her bad temper?

When Zhou Shuxuan entered the palace, he was in a trance, as if his soul had been taken away by someone.Looking up, he saw that he was outside the Hall of Qinzheng, and patted his forehead to cheer himself up.

When the emperor saw him, he was also taken aback.It looked fine yesterday, but why did it become so haggard overnight.It seems that he will die before him, and there is no point in fighting for the throne.

"I will see my father." Zhou Shuxuan said weakly.

The emperor's rare concern, "What's the matter with you? Do you want to call an imperial doctor to take a look?"

"No need," he coughed as he spoke, "I stayed up all night last night. I wanted to do the errand that my father asked me to do well, but I couldn't think of a way. The valuable things were counted, and the servants quietly took them out and sold them. They got some silver to honor their father, and put them outside the hall. Don't worry, my father, no one will know that it is something from the palace. If there is not enough, there are still children. The palace of the minister can also be sold."

"You!" The emperor pointed at him speechless, flung his sleeves and sighed.

Zhou Shuxuan continued coughing and said, "For the father to have a good year, this is what the son should do. The son is not as capable as the prince, and he has a broken leg. He can only do these small things to share the worries of the father."

The emperor looked at what he had to say, maybe at this moment he remembered that he was also his own son, and pushed him too hard, sighed and said: "Forget it, you can go back with your money."

"What about the household affairs?" Zhou Shuxuan didn't forget to ask before leaving. If he didn't get a satisfactory answer, he could recommend it.

The emperor thumped the table, "Let the prince handle it!"

That's right, he is the crown prince of a country, and he is in charge of the household department, so he should take care of it.

Not to mention, the powder on the face is really useful, the emperor was really frightened.

I left the palace in a good mood.

Miao Li was apprehensive, and kept pacing the palace. This idea seemed too risky.Seeing Zhou Shuxuan come back, he hurried up to ask the result.Seeing him come back with a dark face, I was a little scared, maybe she really screwed up?

Muster up the courage to step forward and ask, "My lord, what's the matter?"

"The emperor has already handed over the matter to the prince."

Miao Li let out a long sigh of relief and patted her chest, she knew that there would be no trouble. "That's good, servant girl waits for the prince to wash his face." It looked scary, maybe because he blushed, she put some more powder on him at that time.

"Cough..." Zhou Shuxuan had an unnatural expression on his face, and threw a small object to her, "No need, you can go down."

Oddly enough, Miao Li studied the little thing in her hand carefully, it seemed to be a powder box.The lord is... clenched the small box in his hand, now that she is not his concubine, she is not happy to receive these things.

Inside the room, Zhou Shuxuan asked Wei Hai with an awkward face, "What expression does she have?"

This was difficult for Wei Hai, he was taken aback and said, "It's hard to say."

Zhou Shuxuan's words became more and more cold, "To be honest."

Wei Hai chose nice words, "Young lady doesn't look very happy."

Zhou Shuxuan patted the table, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know good and bad things."

Because of this, Zhou Shuxuan didn't see Miaoli again for half a month.It's fine if you don't look for her, but Miaoli finds him by herself and stops him outside the door. The sudden indifference makes Miaoli confused.

She doesn't seem to have done anything wrong!

Miaoli was not reconciled, and went to the study again, "Master Wei, is the prince in there?"

Wei Hai answered without changing his expression, "No."

Nonsense, she clearly saw a servant carrying an armful of charcoal in just now.

Miao Li looked up, but was blocked by Wei Hai, stomping her foot and asked, "Then where can I find the prince?"

"When the prince wants to see a girl, he will find you."

Nonsense, once again slammed the door, Miao Li left angrily.

When she returned to her own house, she didn't know what to do. Since she moved into Zhou Shuxuan's yard, the people in the mansion treated her as a half-master, and she didn't have to do the work of servants, and she didn't have to fight in the court of concubines.

The sudden leisure left her with nothing to do, it was too boring to stay in the house, she might as well go for a stroll in the mansion.

It had just snowed, and except for the roads that had been swept clean, the rest of the mansion was still a vast expanse of whiteness.There are occasional red plums on the side of the road, and the fiery flowers contrast with the white snow.

Miao Li rubbed her hands, ready to pick a bunch of plum blossoms for Lu Shuxuan.With a reason, he couldn't keep her from entering the door anymore.

"Bang" a firecracker exploded at Miaoli's feet. As the New Year approached, the little girl in the mansion bought a firecracker from outside and went back to the house to play. No wonder.

"Bang" is another one, which is a bit deceptive.Miao Li looked around holding the red plums she had picked, and found the murderer behind a blossoming plum tree.

It's a little girl, and she doesn't look like a maid in the mansion.Seeing her looking over, he threw a firecracker at her provocatively, and yelled at her, "What are you looking at, you vixen, don't you recognize your second lady?"

Second Miss?Miao Li took a closer look at her appearance, she looked like a member of the Xia family.

"My servant has seen two..." Miss.Miao Li still wanted to salute, but she saw a lot of firecrackers thrown towards her, and she was so frightened that she quickly hid.In an instant, crackling exploded where she was standing just now.Looking up again, there is no one behind the plum tree.

Miaoli looked at the firecrackers that exploded on the ground and always felt that something was wrong, so she squatted on the ground and watched for a long time.

She figured it out!
