Mingzhu was silent after hearing this, and she didn't know what to say for a while, this kind of thing is not something that a little woman can meddle in at all, and when it is time to sacrifice, the courtiers don't care if you are a princess or a courtier, they still have to be sacrificed, without hesitation.

"This kind of thing is not necessarily, it depends on how much pity the imperial uncle has. Some people also say that one should be chosen from among the daughters of the sect, but this kind of candidate must be valuable. Zhou Li smiled mockingly.

"Isn't there anyone stopping this from happening? Relying on a woman to maintain stability can last a few days. Mingzhu shook her head, and her heart was also very complicated.

"If you don't get along, you will have to fight, and if you don't get married, you need silver, where does the silver come from? Floods have started in some places in the south again, which all require silver, and the treasury simply does not have so much money, and the Hou Ye is almost unable to control it when he is old. Uncle can't leave Beijing, otherwise King Duan will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, and the front line of the rear fire can't be stabilized. Zhou Li analyzed it, and he was also very helpless.

"Hey! I don't know who is unlucky, I think Shuyi will be more likely, but it's a pity that she has been doing useless work all these years of self-cultivation. Mingzhu sighed, and her fate was decided from the moment she was abandoned by the Empress.

Or that her fate has been decided from the beginning, and it is not good, and the sons and daughters are to be sacrificed at critical times, because the treatment they usually enjoy is the best, even if there is no best, it is the best, because your identity determines whether you use the best or not, you use the best treatment, so it is natural for you to sacrifice.

It's a bit of a bandit theory, but that's how things are in the world, and there's not much truth to talk about. Injustices can be seen everywhere.

"Not necessarily, the clan means that there is one in the clan, and there is no shame in the bloodline of the royal children." Zhou Li implied a meaning and didn't say it.

"Oh, it's rare to say this, does that mean to send Zhou Wan'er over?" Mingzhu thought about who was not welcomed, and it was only Zhou Wan'er.

"Not necessarily, Uncle Huang hasn't decided."

"If you want me to say that Zhou Wan'er is also beneficial, others in the province are worried, this is selfishness; But from the overall situation, it is not good for the emperor, King Duan sacrificed his daughter to take care of the overall situation, and it is not easy to move him in the future, is it terrible to say! Mingzhu wiped her hands and threw away the handkerchief, sneering.

"It's exactly this reason, but others will inevitably feel a little wronged." Zhou Li sighed, it's useless for others to talk about this kind of thing.

"Hey! When is Prince of the Western Regions arriving? ”

"It's going to be a few days, the exact date hasn't been decided."

"Why isn't there a time for this time, isn't there something wrong?" Mingzhu was keenly aware that something was wrong.

"Hehehe! The prince of the Western Regions is not favored by his mother, and there is a concubine, it is said that the son is very favored by the king of the Western Regions, and they are not calm, the prince of the Western Regions is mainly to ask for relatives, but also to seek our support, to ensure that fifty years do not use force, the imperial uncle means that the border can have twenty years of stability can be relieved, so this time the peace is bound to succeed, can not shirk. Zhou Li sighed.

"I see, then the king of the Western Regions also agreed?"

"What if you don't say yes? It is said that the king of the Western Regions has been sick recently, and it seems to be quite strict, the king of the Western Regions and the imperial uncle are about the same age, and he doesn't know how to maintain and love beauty, and his body is far less robust than the imperial uncle, and the problem is a matter of time before the problem arises. ”

"Oops! The Western Regions are not calm, how can this one play be like a big opera. Mingzhu's eyes widened when she heard this.

"Who said no, you can't let the Western Regions fall completely, otherwise it will also be a threat to the borders of the Great Zhou, and it is best for the Western Regions to be stable, so that the imperial uncle can free up his hands to recover the military power of Fujian, this is the imperial uncle's heart knot, and no one can persuade him." Zhou Li pursed his lips, and his frowning brows showed that he was not in a very good mood.

"It's no wonder that there is a person who always wants you to die to take your place, and has been threatened by people for many years, this mood is really bad, and I want to kill people." Mingzhu is the closest to the emperor, and some things can be guessed.

"Yes, my father said that the king of the Western Regions is coming and there is trouble."

"yes, you're going to be busy again. But you have to be careful, and you have to be more mindful when doing things. ”

Mingzhu saw that he had lost a lot of weight recently, and his chin was pointed, and he couldn't help but remind him.

Zhou Li smiled softly, "Well, I know." Shall I dine with you today? I want to eat that soup. Another noodle, I like that sauce. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier, this stew tastes a little worse, go and ask if it's ready, make some noodles in the kitchen, a little bit of all kinds of grains, some green leafy vegetables, more chopped green onions, some minced meat and mushroom sauce and that hot sauce." Mingzhu ordered several of Zhou Li's favorite dishes.

Zhou Li couldn't help but smile when he heard it, sure enough, he had his own in his heart, I really remember everything I like to eat, it's not bad at all.

"Mingzhu still cares about me, and I want rock sugar and plum flavor for another elbow." Zhou Li saw that the little girl was gone, and immediately shouted.

"Whoa! Got it. "The little girl ran away as soon as she smoked and disappeared.

The rock sugar black plum elbow is made out of Mingzhu's boring drumming, in fact, she said that the kitchen person made it for her, and the taste is quite good, not greasy and tasteful, Zhou Li and the old lady love to eat it very much, and often order this dish.

After a while, the little girl replied, "The cook said, the soup has already been stewed, and it is just right." There are other dishes, so let's wait for them to be eaten. ”

"Dare to be kind, it's earlier than I thought, you're blessed." Mingzhu smiled.

"That's still my aunt feels sorry for me, I brought you some good materials, it's a new style in Jiangnan, you can see if you like it, take it to make clothes to wear." Zhou Li's eyebrows and eyes gently flattered his daughter-in-law.

Mingzhu glanced at him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and a spring color in his eyes, bright and moving, "What are you doing with so many things, you can't finish wearing them, I don't like to make clothes, trouble." ”

"Let the needlework room do it, otherwise what are they going to do, eat for nothing? You just do it for me. Zhou Li added a sentence and smiled shyly.

"Go, no one is right, where is the purse I gave you? Why is it gone? Mingzhu suddenly found that the purse on his body was gone, and who wanted to leave?

"Here, you see it's not, they are a group of bastards who always pick up my things, and I hide them, and I keep the things you give me when they rot for a long time." Zhou Li took out a purse from the placket of his clothes to show her, Baba's loyalty.

Mingzhu smiled at this time, "It's pretty much the same, don't give my things to others, otherwise I'll ignore you!" ”

"Of course, I'm not stupid, how can I show my daughter-in-law's things to other bastard boys." Zhou Li smiled, and whispered close to Mingzhu: "The shoes are broken, let's tie a shoe, it should be thick-soled, thin and wear-resistant." "He ran a lot, and his shoes were worn out. (To be continued.) )
