Chapter 192: No Compromise
Zhou Shuxuan didn't want to quarrel with her, the eldest princess was not an outsider after all. Along the way, in addition to interests, there are also feelings.
didn't reply immediately, Zhou Shuxuan was silent for a long time and said: "I have asked the imperial doctor, although the emperor can't wake up, it can be delayed for half a year at most." Auntie choose someone as soon as possible, or choose the eldest brother. I can oversee state affairs now, and when you elect someone, I'll vacate my place. ”
He didn't want to quarrel and calmly arranged the next thing. He had already made his choice, and he didn't choose to play.
The eldest princess gritted her teeth and asked, "Think about how difficult it is for you to get to this point, how hard it has worked, and don't you think it's a pity to say that you will vacate your position now?" ”
"It's a pity, why don't you feel a pity?" Zhou Shuxuan laughed lightly, "But when I think of wronging her, I feel even more pity and discomfort in my heart." ”
This kind of love!
For the sake of a woman, it's really like this.
The eldest princess also had a fire in her stomach when she looked at him, and if she continued to talk about it, she would probably quarrel again, so she stood up and walked out, "You calm down and think about it yourself, is it worth it?!" ”
There is no need to calm down, he is thinking very clearly now, just such an answer, it is worth it! He doesn't regret it now, and he won't regret it later. Only Miaoli is good with him, he can do anything.
After the eldest princess went back, the East Palace seemed to be back to normal. Except that the prince was not in a good mood, there was not much difference.
Zuo Xiang waited for the result of the eldest princess's persuasion, and waited for a long time and didn't see Zhou Shuxuan to pick up Xu Meitang, and there was no news from the East Palace. Zuo Xiang couldn't sit still, and in a few days, it is estimated that everyone will know the news of the princess's abandonment, and his old face really can't be put aside at that time. So Zuo Xiang stopped the eldest princess at the yamen of the military department.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince's side...... How's it going? "The eldest princess has not been in a good mood recently, but compared to Zhou Shuxuan, it is much softer. So Zuo Xiang thought about it and came over to find her.
The eldest princess didn't want to mention Zhou Shuxuan now, so she got angry when she mentioned it, and said resentfully: "It's still like before, and the palace doesn't dare to recruit him." ”
Zuo Xiang said again: "The crown princess ......"
"Crown princess, heh," the eldest princess sneered, "If you dare to mention the crown princess now, you will be ready to change the crown prince at any time!" ”
Zuo Xiang was already in a cold sweat, but no matter how terrible it was, he had the courage to ask: "With the emperor's holy will, the prince doesn't dare to disobey the holy decree, right?" ”
The eldest princess sneered again, then looked at him and said, "Do you dare to force him to be in a hurry?" That's what restricts the prince, and he doesn't want to be the prince at all now. ”
Zuo Xiang also saw the scene of that day, and after going back, he had nightmares for several days, dreaming of being chased and killed by Zhou Shuxuan with a sword every night. But for the sake of the family, he still had to grit his teeth and continue: "It's not up to him to decide whether to be the prince or not, he is the saint himself." ”
The eldest princess has a big head now when she talks about these things, everything was fine before, and suddenly it has become like this. Annoyed said, "I don't know what you're doing in such a hurry?" Can you wait for him to calm down? The more you push him now, the more he has to do it. ”
"That'...... Could it be that he was indulged in by him? Because the prince resisted the decree and did not obey it, the holy decree was just an ornament. Treat the holy order as a child's play, listen to it if you want to hear it, don't listen to it if you don't want to listen to it, how else can the prince be a person when it is passed on? And His Royal Highness connived at him so much, others knew that His Highness's Protector Princess couldn't do it. Zuo Xiang was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and his words seemed to be good for Zhou Shu.
The eldest princess looked at him and sneered, laughing so much that Zuo Xiang's heart was furious, and after a long time, the eldest princess said: "Old man Xu, you are old and courageous, and you are threatening the head of the palace!" ”
Zuo Xiang's face turned pale all of a sudden, and it was impossible for the eldest princess not to know his thoughts. This is his last resort, and since he has chips in his hand, he can't use them. His daughter is the crown princess chosen by the emperor, the future queen, there is no reason to be divorced like this, otherwise he will use the holy decree to blackmail them.
"The lower official doesn't dare, what the lower official says is from the heart."
his heart! Threaten them from the bottom of your heart!
The eldest princess patted him on the shoulder, and said in a softened tone: "Don't let you be in such a hurry, I won't indulge him in doing things, take your time." ”
got the words of the eldest princess, Zuo Xiang was still not at ease in his heart, who knows if their aunt and nephew joined forces to fool him. "Your Highness, you see...... This is about to celebrate the New Year, so you can't let the princess celebrate the New Year at her parents' house. ”
Give an inch and take a mile!
The eldest princess couldn't help but roll her eyes, pulled out a smile and said, "Bengong knows, get out." ”
Zuo Xiang rolled with a smile on his face, this can be regarded as the eldest princess gave a sentence, Xu Meitang will be able to return to the East Palace before the year.
He was happy, but the eldest princess couldn't stop worrying in her heart. Counting with his fingers, the New Year will be celebrated in less than twenty days, and Zhou Shuxuan doesn't seem to have changed his attention, which is simply too difficult.
The eldest princess didn't want to see Zhou Shuxuan now, so she cheered up and went to the East Palace. Stand in the doorway and take a few deep breaths and tell yourself never to lose your temper.
Zhou Shuxuan is now dealing with government affairs, and he has not stopped when he opened his eyes in the morning, he wants to finish his work early and leave the palace early. said that she should go over to see Miaoli often, and she couldn't go without hearing from her as soon as she went, so she must have thought that she was lying to her again.
The eldest princess came in and first asked, "Have you read the fold handed over by the military department in the morning?" ”
Zhou Shuxuan replied without raising his head: "I have seen it, since the local state and county have no food due to the snow disaster, they will be transferred from nearby. No matter what, the soldiers must be fed, but no matter what, they can't rob the people. ”
"Do you have any extra food in the government on the side?"
"I've asked the people from the household department to do it, and if not, I'll transport it from Jiangnan."
The eldest princess asked a few more things, and Zhou Shuxuan answered everything fluently, as if she was fully prepared. The eldest princess said appreciatively, "It seems that your efficiency in doing things has improved a lot." ”
Zhou Shuxuan said in a cold tone: "Yes, I want to deal with the backlog of things in my hand as soon as possible." It doesn't have to be so much trouble when someone else takes over. ”
"You ......" The eldest princess wanted to speak but didn't know what to say, it was so easy to say, as if the change of the crown prince was as simple as the resignation of an official.
Zhou Shuxuan didn't answer either, and continued to do his own thing.
The eldest princess had to speak again, "Today, the left minister is looking for me again, do you know what happens if you don't obey the order?" ”
Zhou Shuxuan said without changing his face: "At most, it's a head-killing, I don't care, just come." ”
The eldest princess was so angry that she kept sighing, in the face of Zhou Shuxuan, she even missed the emperor a little, the emperor at least listened to people, and would not do too much for the sake of the country. He is the only one who regards a woman as more important than Jiangshan Sheji.
"You! I don't even bother to talk to you! "The eldest princess is really helpless, after a while, maybe it will be fine after a while, she stands up and walks away, she doesn't want to care about these things anymore in this life.
Zhou Shuxuan said to himself while criticizing the excerpt: "I don't want to deal with me, I don't want to deal with you yet." What a simple thing, it would be nice for her to be the crown princess now and the queen in the future, and everyone was happy. I compromised once today, and I will compromise every time I will come. What does it make if you don't be an emperor or not, anyway, it's a puppet under the interests of others. If you want me to compromise, no way! ”
Suddenly feeling that he was not so impulsive, and it was the right choice not to wait to ascend the throne, otherwise he would not even have a chance to choose again.
Glancing at the folds on the table again, hurry up and approve it, after the approval, he can leave the palace.
He also had water in his head at that time, and he had to be an emperor. How good it is to be an idle prince, live his own life, and no one can control him.
While complaining in my heart, I criticized the folds, and it was dark when I criticized it. It is very likely that the ministers outside knew what he was going to do today, and when he was about to finish the folding, they brought him a large stack of them.
Looking at the folds piled up like a hill, Zhou Shuxuan clenched his fists, counting them ruthlessly. He's going to stay up all night today to finish them and go out tomorrow.
Slowly the moon was on the top, and the night was coming, and he missed Miaoli more and more. If she makes him a cup of tea by her side at this time, this life is enough.
I stretched my waist and walked out, wanting to go out to breathe, and my head was about to turn into a paste after a day's work.
When I went out, I found that it was snowing outside, it seemed to be the first snow of the year, I don't know what was delayed, the first snow came so late.
Gao Fu put on a cloak for him, carried a lantern and asked, "Your Highness, the snow is falling so heavily, why don't you go out, I'm worried that the road is slippery." ”
Zhou Shu Xuanli ignored him and walked directly outside. I didn't know where to go, so I walked around casually, and suddenly smelled a pungent plum fragrance while strolling.
Zhou Shuxuan stopped and asked, "Where does the plum blossom fragrance come from?" ”
Gao Fu replied: "A few steps further to the plum garden, it should be there flowers blooming." Would you like to go over and have a look, Your Highness? The plum garden blooms red and gorgeous, and it is very beautiful. ”
Hearing him say this, Zhou Shuxuan became a little interested, "Lead the way." ”
After walking a few more steps to the plum garden, sure enough, the flowers inside were blooming. Although it is not all opened, it is a little interesting. Plum on a snowy night, such a beautiful scenery, it would be nice for the beauty to be around.
Thinking about it, Zhou Shuxuan suddenly moved his mind, and he carefully picked a bunch of fine plum blossoms with a lantern boy and picked them off with his own hands. Gao Fu stretched out his hand to take it, but Zhou Shuxuan didn't give it.
After picking the plum blossoms, I hurriedly walked to the East Palace. I didn't make any more mistakes, changed into clothes to go out, and was about to go out with plum blossoms.
Gao Fu only reacted at this time, grabbed him and asked, "Where is Your Highness going so late?" ”
"Out of the palace!"
"Your Highness, by all means. The road is slippery on a snowy day, what should I do if something happens to His Highness? ”
Zhou Shuxuan didn't even look at him, and walked out without looking back.
What else can I do if something happens? If you die, you will be buried, and if you don't die, you will come back.
