Chapter 99: Protection
Miao Li cleaned up and went, speaking of the princess, she suddenly remembered the Xia family, what she promised her hadn't been done yet, and the strand of hair was still with her.
When she arrived at the Ningxiang Courtyard and saw a courtyard of women, and a few others she was familiar with, Miao Li remembered that she should visit her mother today. She almost forgot that she was Zhou Shuxuan's concubine, so she forgot everything that a concubine should do.
Go inside and keep your own rules. Miaoli knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Slave Miaoli asks the princess for peace." ”
Xu Meitang was shocked by her appearance, no wonder her father said before that she could recognize which one was Miaoli at a glance without any introduction.
There are still such women in the world, who have no grease powder on their faces, no hairpin rings on their heads, and are dressed very plainly, but they are very dazzling. As soon as she came, the women in this room became mundane.
Xu Meitang thought that if she was a man, she would like to hold Miaoli in the palm of her hand. It's a pity that she is a woman, and her husband still holds such a woman in the palm of his hand, which dooms them to not be able to live in peace.
Xu Meitang held the princess's shelf, and said with a bit of majesty: "Get up." ”
Miao Li knelt for a long time, and there was no dissatisfied expression on her face, so she got up.
Seeing her such a respectful attitude, Xu Meitang showed a satisfied smile. What about the favored concubine, she is not just a lowly slave in front of her wife.
Miaoli stood up, always remembering her duty, bowing her head and not speaking, trying to reduce her sense of existence, and strive to make others unable to find fault with her.
It's a pity that she is too dazzling, and someone is finding fault with her the moment she enters the door. Xu leaned on the stool and said faintly, "The girl has cried? The princess's entry into the palace was a great joy. The girl didn't come to worship the mistress, and she hid and cried. Do you want bad luck for the princess? ”
Miao Li lowered her head and didn't speak, if she said that she was crying for the eldest princess, no one would believe it. It was indeed a mistake that she could not justify not coming with them to meet the princess.
Xu is probably deliberately provocative, no matter what she says, Xu must have something to say. didn't want to be too troublesome, Miao Li just wanted to admit her mistake, but she heard Zhou Shuxuan's voice.
"This king sees that you can't think about it early in the morning, and you are looking for bad luck for yourself."
The eldest princess just told Zhou Shuxuan about a part of what Miaoli said, and Zhou Shuxuan also understood Miaoli a little.
Damn, she's actually been emotionally wounded. He really wanted to pull out the men who had hurt her and beat him up so much.
The mood for Miaoli is different, and he has something to say to Miaoli. Zhou Shuxuan asked Wei Hai to find her, but heard that she had come to the princess. After all, he should have come over to see it on the first day.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Xu's words, and the last thing he could see was a restless woman, who consumed his patience again and again.
When he came, a room of women bent down and saluted, "Greetings to the prince." ”
Zhou Shuxuan didn't look at others, stared straight at Xu, and asked seriously: "Xu, have you taken too much medicine recently?" ”
This woman, for the sake of her father's face, has not yet settled accounts with her. I don't have any self-knowledge, and I'm still so restless.
Xu was stunned, not knowing what he was talking about. She is not in good health, and recently she did ask the doctor for a lot of medicine.
Xu's weak willow helped the wind to salute, and said with a faint smile: "The prince is talking about the body of the concubine, thank you for your concern." "No matter what you say, it's always right to laugh, and don't hit the smiling person.
Zhou Shuxuan didn't seem to see her smile, and said without leaving a smile: "What this king said is your brain." Why did you take so many medicines and your head didn't shine, and you still don't know what to say and what not to say? ”
Xu's face turned pale, Zhou Shuxuan didn't say this to Miaoli for her. With tears in his eyes, he asked, "Lord Wang, what did the concubine do wrong?" ”
Zhou Shuxuan glanced at her coldly, but still didn't have any good words, "You have to prove that this king is right, don't you know what you are wrong about?" ”
Miao Li lowered her head and listened to Zhou Shu preaching people, and said in her heart that he didn't have to be like this. It looks like it's talking to her, but it's actually making enemies for her. The more so-called favors, the less stable your life will be in the palace.
Xu Meitang looked at it coldly, those rumors were indeed true. Zhou Shuxuan is not ordinary to Miaoli, for her to say that Xu said so ruthlessly. is also in front of the concubine, and does not save face for the Xu family at all.
Xu Shi kept wiping his tears with a handkerchief, pear blossoms brought rain, and said with a crying voice: "Lord, the concubine is ......"
It turns out that crying is useless here in Zhou Shuxuan, and he can't make his attitude a little better, "Now I'm so stupid that I can't speak." Don't be embarrassed in the future, stay in your own yard. ”
Do you want to ban her? Then she really has nothing, and in the end she can only die in the palace.
Xu Shi accepted the cry and knelt on the ground, "Lord Wang, the concubine knows that she is wrong, and the concubine will not dare anymore." ”
To be a man is to be able to bend and stretch, and to keep the present can have a future.
Zhou Shuxuan sneered, "I know now that it's wrong, it's too late!" Punishing you is not only for what you said today that you shouldn't have said, but also for what you did not have done before. ”
It's too much for Xu's face, for the sake of her father's face, he will go to her from time to time to take a look, so that she is used to having some thoughts that she shouldn't have.
Xu held his handkerchief and had nothing to say. Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of Miaoli's shoes, and the fabric made of Miaoli's uppers was several times better than the clothes she was wearing. At this time, Xu Shi knew that he had underestimated the weight of Miaoli in Zhou Shuxuan's heart, and it was too late to regret it.
Xu slowly stood up, "The concubine retreats." ”
Miao Li watched Xu Shi die by herself, and Zhou Shuxuan was going to let her go in the past, and she couldn't find herself.
Miao Li was able to put herself in her place, and when Zhou Shuxuan came, she didn't stand behind him like before. Instead, he quietly entered the team of concubines and chose an inconspicuous position.
Seeing that the Xu family was grounded, now everyone in the room dares to speak, and the atmosphere dares to take a breath.
Zhou Shuxuan was like no one else, holding the maid's tea, and asked Xu Meitang expressionlessly, "How is it, are you still used to living?" ”
Xu Meitang said with a smile: "The palace is the home of the concubine, and there is nothing unaccustomed to the concubine. ”
"Yes, you will have to worry about the affairs of the palace in the future. If you have any unsure ideas, discuss them with the Li family. ”
"The concubine knows."
"There are also subordinates, and the most important thing is to be obedient. Those who are restless, have big thoughts, and love to chew the root of the tongue, you have to train and train well. ”
Xu Meitang was carved out according to the mold of everyone's ladies, and the affairs of these housekeepers are not a problem for her.
"The concubine must be attentive."
Zhou Shuxuan didn't speak again after he finished speaking, he came over to talk about things, not to communicate with anyone.
Miao Li slandered him on the side that he was marrying a princess, more like marrying a housekeeper, and Wei Hai was responsible for these things before.
Zhou Shuxuan put the teacup down, "Okay, it's okay, this king will leave first, and you will all disperse." ”
He was dizzy when he looked at so many people, and he was a little surprised just now, he didn't remember that he had raised so many women.
"Congratulations to the prince."
Zhou Shuxuan went out and did not go back to Shende Hall directly. Instead, he asked Wei Hai to push him in the direction of Jinyuan, and then stopped around the corner.
After waiting for a while, Miao Li came over.
"Where are you going?" Zhou Shuxuan spoke coldly on the side of the road.
Miao Li was still a little frightened by him, looked back, and said, "The slave wants to go back." ”
Zhou Shuxuan didn't mention the past at all, as if he was nothing, he kept a straight face as always, and said, "Where are you going?" It's been a few days, and you should have rested enough. Do you want me to remind you so that you can remember your duty? ”
She has so many responsibilities that I don't know what he's talking about. Or obediently said, "The slave knows." ”
Before, when I saw Miaoli being driven to Jinyuan, I thought she was no good, and some people who couldn't hold their breath did a lot of things.
Now Miaoli is developed again, especially after the princess returns to the door. Miaoli moved back to Shendetang and lived in Zhou Shuxuan's house. Not only is there not a penny less of grace, but it is much more than before. Those people regretted that they didn't scold Miao Li when she was in trouble.
In Zhou Shuxuan's house, after Miaoli washed Zhou Shuxuan's feet, she and Wei Hai put him to bed together. I didn't know what to do, so I stood there and pretended to be a stone man.
Zhou Shuxuan let her live here tonight, and he didn't mean to let her live outside, as if he wanted to sleep with her.
"What are you doing in a daze, come and sleep." Zhou Shuxuan saw that she had been stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but say.
Miao Li was a little embarrassed, bowed her head and said, "The slave knows, the slave and the maid will take care of themselves first." ”
She didn't know what Zhou Shuxuan meant, and it didn't look like she was going to summon her when she went to sleep.
No matter what, wash himself first and then say, he can do whatever he wants. Miao Li washed herself inside and out, and changed into a clean middle coat before going over.
Zhou Shuxuan slept inside, and Miaoli lifted the quilt and lay outside, still a little uncomfortable. She used to be able to treat it calmly, but I don't know why after fully understanding Zhou Shuxuan's heart, she couldn't be as calm as before.
Zhou Shuxuan slept next to her, the faint fragrance on her body fell in her nose, Zhou Shuxuan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, not tonight.
Zhou Shuxuan calmed himself down a little before he spoke: "Do you know what I let you live here?" ”
Miao Li really doesn't know, now think about it. Trying to find clues from memory, his words suddenly sounded in his ears, "You are from Goolan Courtyard, you should be very good at pleasing men, right?" ”
Did he let her please him?
Miao Li suddenly felt humiliated, she really treated her as a cheap woman, and she couldn't wait to sit up and leave. But she couldn't, she wanted to stay.
Miao Li replied softly, "The slave knows." ”
