The breakfast was over, Zhou Li had nothing to do these days, but he also had to go back to the Xiaoqi camp to order something, said a word to the old man, and went out.

"Will you come back for dinner in the evening?" Mingzhu asked him at the door.

"I'll come back if it's okay, and if I don't come back, someone will tell you." Zhou Li hesitated, but still wanted to come back, it was actually very boring for the palace to stay without warmth.

"Then you come back and bring me the duck with sauce, I want to eat that bite, this is for you." Mingzhu saw that the purse on his waist was also sharpened, or the one he gave three years ago, how long has it been this person who doesn't know how to change it?

"Hehe, then I'll come back soon, how many do I want, can I bring a few more?" Zhou Li smiled and exchanged the old one for Mingzhu, put on the new one, and the smile on his face became a little more, becoming more and more bright.

"Well, you can give me some pickled plums or something, it's hot and tasteless in your mouth." Mingzhu smiled and wiped his sweat.

"Well, remember, do you want to eat anything else? Her puff pastry soybeans are also delicious. ”

"Then you can take a little bit of you to the bar in the evening, I have a jar of medicinal wine, and you and your brothers have a drink at night."

"Okay, I'm leaving." Zhou Li waved happily and left.

"Sister, have you chosen him?" Jia Xuan asked when she stood behind Mingzhu at some point.

"You can't say that yet, the emperor can't say that without spitting. I think he's fine. Mingzhu said bluntly with a light smile.

She doesn't love Zhou Li, but with the love of her childhood sweetheart, Zhou Li has now become like a gentleman. The impression when she was a child has slowly become unclear, and she has a good impression of Zhou Li, which is enough.

The advantages of marrying Zhou Li outweigh the disadvantages. This thing can work, she will not wronged herself for the sake of others, and there are many benefits to having a good feeling, why can't she get married?

"But if you marry a prince and become a queen, your family will give you all their money, why did you choose him?" Jiaxuan felt that Zhou Li should be the next best choice, and she should have to choose as a concubine like herself. Mingzhu can be the queen, why not?

"Everyone's choice is different, the queen is only glorious on her face, not necessarily happy. A draft is held every three years. The queen first had to choose women for her husbands, enrich the harem, and ensure that they had more children to spread the branches for the royal family. to tolerate what others cannot endure. My temper asked myself if I couldn't be so generous, the queen must not enjoy the exclusive favor, I must let my husband sleep with other women to be called virtuous, I must poison this man to death, so I am not suitable to be a queen. Mingzhu knows very well that she is not a soft-handed person, and she can't bear it, and she is a lot more ruthless than others.

"But I always feel that only being a queen is the best choice for a woman in this life, and this woman has not lived in vain in this life!" Jia Xuan raised her head and said firmly.

Mingzhu glanced at her, "You can't be the queen." Even if the queen dies, you can't be the queen. She unceremoniously shattered her dreams.

"Sister, do you think of me like that?" Jia Xuan's face was a little pale. She clearly saw the ridicule and contempt in Mingzhu's eyes.

"That's right, your personality is selfish and stingy, too selfish desires, you only distinguish useful and useless people in your eyes, you don't belong to the category of geniuses, you don't have enough knowledge and knowledge, you are not as good as the current queen, you are also educated by everyone, and you still understand some things, but you don't understand the rules at all, you will only break the rules.

There are some things you never know, others won't play with you, a person who is unwilling to bow his head and unwilling to follow the rules, they will also reject you, they will not mention you at all, let alone allow you to be included in their circle, which is why the fourth princess quickly left you behind, and there are many people who want to slap her, and you are not the only one who is a little clever, Yulan can see through what you want to do at a glance, and remind me many times not to pay you sincerely, because you are destined not to have all the pay.

My friends have praised Mingya, praised Jiazhen, and even said that Jiatong is also a good girl, and it is very good to teach well, but they have not said you, whose problem do you say this is? Sisters, have you ever given a gift to your sisters over the years? Jiatong only saw us when she entered Beijing this time, but she embroidered something for each of us by hand, although it may not be easy to look good and use, but it was embroidered by a needle and a thread at a young age.

Last time I helped you do business, Mingya and Jiazhen both paid money, Mingya forgot it, Jiazhen is a concubine like you, and the money is the silver that her aunt and herself secretly saved, have you paid it back? Not only did you not pay back the money, but you didn't even give a gift of thanks, don't you think you're too chilling? Mingzhu said a lot in one breath, and the coldness in her eyes made Jia Xuan take a step back.

"I, I...... I didn't mean to, I just couldn't pay back the money for a while. Jiaxuan cried aggrievedly, she really thought about paying back, but she couldn't take out so much for a while.

"If you don't have money, do you sew your mouth on? Jia Zhen didn't dare to go to the kitchen to order food for half a year in order to help you, did you see these? Does she have a complaint? Do you have a heartwarming word? I asked myself if it was good for you, but you refused to respect my mother, and you didn't even want to tell me anything first, so that people could misunderstand that my mother treated you badly, what about your conscience? "Mingzhu is not for these hundreds of taels of silver, but for how she behaves and does things is too cold.

"Sister......."

"You don't need to say it anymore, we are sisters, that's for sure, but sisters also have good and bad feelings, you and I have no interests involved, and I will never have resentment to harm you, to block your Qingyun Road, but I won't help you anymore, rely on yourself." Mingzhu said lightly and turned around and left.

As soon as they looked up, the two sisters saw Shangguan Hao standing at the door who had been listening silently for a long time, his face was calm and rigid, and he couldn't see any emotion.

"Father, grandmother said she was looking for you." Mingzhu saluted his father and looked back at him calmly.

Shangguan Hao nodded slightly, "Well, let's go together, is Brother Li gone?" ”

"Well, go and order, I asked him to come to the house for dinner in the evening, his mother has to guard against him like a thief for a day, and he is not happy, it is rare to rest for a few days so that he can relax at our house for two days, and my brother will let me keep him." Mingzhu smiled and spoke.

When I met my eldest brother this morning, Brother Yu told him that Zhou Li was not happy, and if he had nothing to do in the past two days, let him come to the house to eat and rest, and let him slow down his spirits, and people can't be tense all the time.

"Well, let's go, I'll go say hello to your grandmother." Shangguan Hao nodded, didn't even look at Jiaxuan, and entered the house with Mingzhu.

Jia Xuan's tears fell suddenly, maybe she didn't have much feelings for others, but she was still close to Shangguan Hao's father, and now even her father didn't want to take care of herself, which made her feel out of place here.

She doesn't understand a lot of things, why people here take the concept of hierarchy so seriously, and regard identity more than anything else, and she can see the difference in her life everywhere, and she can't adapt to many things, and she can't figure it out.

Obviously, the family makes a lot of money, but they have to donate it to the clan study hall and sacrificial field for nothing, and our family doesn't rely on that one to live, isn't this throwing money in vain? (To be continued.) )

ps: Jiaxuan as a modern person does not adapt to the rules of the ancients, many things she does not understand and disagree with, such as family concepts, as well as the difference in identity, this is not a simple integration can be, she feels the humiliation of the concubine, there is always a kind of unwillingness and anger in her heart, long-term differential treatment makes it difficult for her to be calm, as if the family has only been partial to one child for a long time, and the attitude of taking it for granted, this feels similar.
