Chapter 195: Compromise
Miao Li knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise her head, thinking in her heart that she had done something wrong. I thought about it back and forth, but I couldn't think of anything. When she left that day, she also acted on the orders of the eldest princess. I haven't seen each other for a long time recently, so I can't mess with the eldest princess.
The eldest princess glanced at the person on the ground with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and really hoped that she was hypocritical to Miaoli as Zhou Shuxuan said, but unfortunately it was not like that, she had always been sincere to Miaoli, so it was so difficult to speak now.
There was no way, the eldest princess clenched her fists to let herself speak, and asked sharply: "Do you know that the third child didn't do anything for your prince?" ”
Miao Li raised her head blankly, she was now equivalent to being isolated from the world, and she didn't know anything about the outside world, and shook her head slightly.
The eldest princess asked again: "Then do you know that he emptied the woman of the East Palace for you?" ”
She knew this, Miaoli nodded honestly.
The eldest princess was a little surprised and asked, "Did you make him do that?" "In the eldest princess's heart, Miaoli is very sensible, not like that.
Miao Li shook her head and opened her mouth to explain: "It's not me, it's ......"
The eldest princess interrupted her, not wanting to listen to her explanation, afraid that she would soften her heart after listening, "It's not you who asked him to do it, it's because of you." Just because he was going to take Xu Meitang off, Zuo Xiang took out the emperor's holy decree. The emperor has already made a will, and he personally named Xu Meitang as the queen after the current crown princess. The third child had a big quarrel with Zuo Xiang in Ciqing Palace in order to stop the Xu family, and said on the spot that he would not be the prince, and he has not changed his mind until now. ”
Miao Li knew what had happened. She could imagine that Zhou Shuxuan would be under tremendous pressure if she did so, but she didn't expect it to be so big.
Miao Li was silent, not knowing what to say.
Although Zhou Shuxuan didn't let her do that, she was willing to do it. Others can still tolerate it, but Xu Meitang is definitely not good.
The eldest princess continued, "Do you know what the emperor's decree says? Say that you are a demon girl who bewitches the prince, and everyone will be punished! Do you know how hard the third child has worked along the way, how much effort he has made, and how much humiliation he has suffered from the emperor? ”
Whether she knew it before or not, Miaoli now knows it, and she sighed in her heart.
"He gave up everything just to make you the only one, even if you are together in the future, will you be at peace?"
Miaoli smiled bitterly, raised her head and said, "I know everything, and I know what to do next, Your Highness can rest assured." ”
The eldest princess pulled her up and said, "It's good that you know, you are a smart and knowledgeable child." ”
The corners of Miaoli's mouth deliberately bent upwards to make herself look less uncomfortable. She'd rather she wasn't smart at all than know the general idea.
The eldest princess knew that she would definitely feel very uncomfortable in her heart, so she didn't stay long, and left when she got the result she wanted, and Miaoli didn't stay for her to eat.
Not wanting Dingguo and his wife to worry, Miaoli went back to the house after lunch. Sitting alone on the beauty couch, embroidering her mandarin ducks and playing in the water.
There are many good things, but when is it a head, is it a good thing for her?
It's a good thing, Miao Li looked at her mandarin duck playing in the water at the light, at least her embroidery skills have indeed improved, at least she can see that these are two things with wings, and that's all.
The eldest princess returned to the capital and went straight to the Zuo Xiangfu. It is impossible for anyone to completely back down, so they can only think of a compromise.
Zuo Xiang happened to be in the house today, and the housekeeper in the house was already arranging the New Year, so it was supposed to be a happy time. Zuo Xiang and Xu Meitang's father and daughter sat and sighed, what is this called, the daughter who got married will not leave if she lives at home, and the expenses in the house are the same thing, I really can't afford to lose this person.
As he sighed, he heard the porter report that the eldest princess was coming. Zuo Xiang asked people to come in quickly, Xu Meitang stood up and prepared to go back to the room, they may want to talk about national affairs, but she still avoided it
Zuo Xiang stopped her, "Don't avoid it, just let the eldest princess take a look at you." "It can be regarded as a reminder to the eldest princess, otherwise she will forget that there is such a person, and she will delay it again and again. Thinking about it, Zuo Xiang added, "Don't be afraid later, you can say whatever you want." ”
The eldest princess had already arrived, and just when she heard their words, she said coldly, "You are really good at teaching!" ”
Zuo Xiang knelt on the ground and saluted and said, "Greetings to Your Highness." It was the crown princess who held back her grievances, and it was not good for her body to hide it in her heart. ”
The eldest princess snorted coldly and said, "Everyone who has a stomach for things like this is wronged, and she is not a fuel-efficient lamp, I'm afraid she won't let herself be wronged." ”
Xu Meitang stood aside and lowered her head, not daring to look at the eldest princess at all, not embarrassed, but afraid from the bottom of her heart, her memory of the eldest princess was still stuck when the eldest princess was angry for Miaoli.
Zuo Xiang personally poured a cup of tea for the eldest princess, changed the topic, and asked, "Your Highness is coming over now, is there any news from the prince?" ”
"Why are you in such a hurry, anyway, you have a holy decree in your hand, it's very powerful, and you're afraid that we won't be obedient?"
Zuo Xiangguan laughed twice and said: "Where is Your Highness, that is the meaning of the Holy Lord, what you do for your courtiers is to follow the Holy Order." What happened to the prince? ”
The old thing was still in a hurry, and the eldest princess spread her hands and said, "It's still like that." I just went there and saw him smash a lot of teacups. "In order to achieve her goal, the eldest princess can only lie.
Zuo Xiang patted his thigh anxiously, and frowned at the eldest princess, "Your Highness, you promised the lower officials before, and you said that you could solve this matter before the end of the year." ”
"I didn't say that I wouldn't solve it, but he is the prince after all, how can he be soft if you force him so much?"
Saying this, there is hope, Zuo Xiang looked at the eldest princess and asked, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”
"It's better to take a step back and endure a little in the end, so that everyone can be happy."
Zuo Xiang still didn't understand, "Your Majesty is stupid, please make it clear to His Royal Highness." ”
Idiot!
The eldest princess scolded in her heart, with a smile on her face: "This palace remembers that you are from the two lists of jinshi and have read a belly of sage books, do you also believe in the demon girl?" ”
"This ......" Zuo Xiang probably understood what she meant, but the problem was with the demon girl, and she couldn't give in easily, "No matter what the sage says, the sage says yes." ”
"But now that the saint is lying in the Longde Hall, he has no consciousness at all, everything is in the hands of the prince, so you don't want to change to someone who believes?"
Zuo Xiang is still struggling, the matter is too big for him to make a decision easily.
The eldest princess seemed to have another frown, and continued: "The prince is now determined not to be the prince. You'd better find your daughter's next one as soon as possible. ”
Zuo Xiang glanced at Xu Meitang, who was standing on the side with low eyebrows, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, don't you let that woman enter the East Palace, and the crown princess can go back?" ”
That's what it means, this is the final bottom line, otherwise Zhou Shuxuan will not compromise even if he is in trouble.
The eldest princess smiled with relief and said, "The old man can be taught, what do you think?" ”
Xu Meitang has been listening silently on the side, they used to play dumb riddles and half-understood, but now they fully understand. Miaoli really found it, and Zhou Shuxuan really did this for Miaoli, and now she doesn't agree to let Miaoli return to Zhou Shuxuan, and she doesn't want to go back.
Xu Meitang had been silent, but now she suddenly opened her mouth and said loudly: "No, that kind of person must not come to the prince's side!" ”
Miaoli went back, what did she mean by going back, being the crown princess and being bullied, it was better to be out of sight. Thinking of Miaoli, Xu Meitang suddenly rose up with anger from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't suppress it.
Forget it when she suddenly spoke, her tone was not very kind, and she successfully made the eldest princess angry.
The eldest princess said coldly: "Do you think you are still the crown princess now?" Don't look at what you are, you've been driven back to your parents' house and have the face to point fingers here! All of this is your own doing, if it weren't for the unborn child, why would the prince be like this. I don't know if it's because you haven't given birth well or because your mother hasn't taught you well, or because your family's feng shui is not good, and you have such a heartless thing. Even if the length is not satisfactory, there is nothing left in the head. ”
Xu Meitang listened to this lot of words, and she was about to cry when she was wronged, obviously it was Zuo Xiang who asked her to say whatever she wanted just now. Zuo Xiang couldn't raise his head and was embarrassed, and the eldest princess scolded too hard in a few words, and she didn't save him any face.
The eldest princess didn't have so much patience with a dark face, so she said directly: "Just say whether you agree or not, there may be a glimmer of life if you agree, and if you don't agree, it's a dead end." ”
Zuo Xiang actually had another idea just now, he didn't doubt what the eldest princess said when he saw Zhou Shuxuan's crazy appearance that day, and it was absolutely impossible for the prince to back down if he didn't agree.
"Just do as Your Highness wants!"
Xu Meitang is now aggrieved, but she still pays attention to the conversation between the two, and when she heard Zuo Xiang agree, she shouted in a low voice, "Father......"
You must not agree, if you agree, you will only have endless troubles, Zhou Shuxuan is so fond of Miaoli, Miaoli went to the East Palace and blew a few words in Zhou Shuxuan's ear, and it is possible for Zhou Shuxuan to kill her.
Zuo Xiang scolded, "Shut up!" ”
The eldest princess glanced at Xu Meitang with murderous anger, and now she didn't bother with her, she stood up and prepared to leave, "Then let's say so, this palace will leave first, and I will inform you if there is any situation." Take advantage of this time to teach your daughter well, to be honest, don't blame the prince for being dissatisfied and liking others, there is such a princess in the palace who is wronged for the prince! ”
After speaking, the eldest princess left without looking back.
Xu Meitang couldn't bear it anymore, she crawled on the table and cried, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she is also a housewife when she gets married, where has she been so humiliated with words, even the eldest princess can't do it!
"Daddy, you promised to let that woman return to the prince, it is better to let me die directly!" Xu Meitang cried and complained.
"I have my own way, I promise that I won't be able to stay for a few days if I let that woman go back, and let her leave obediently by herself."
