Chapter 178: Reward
Zhou Shuxuan almost didn't stumble, and quickly answered. and Miaoli talked about the previous things, about the emperor and the queen and the concubine.
After listening, Miao Li couldn't help shedding a few tears for Concubine Liang, and said, "I don't know what Niangniang was thinking in her last days in Qingquan Palace, she must be very uncomfortable." ”
Zhou Shuxuan thought about it for a while, and Concubine Liang didn't seem to be very uncomfortable at that time. Knowing that her time was running out, she seemed to be still very happy, and death seemed to be more like a relief for her.
"It's all gone, and what she was thinking about at the time mattered."
Miaoli nodded, wiped away her tears and asked, "After hearing this, the emperor knew that he was wrong, so did he make him the prince?" ”
Zhou Shuxuan nodded and didn't mention anything else.
"The emperor has finally made a human ...... Good thing. When the words came to her lips, Miaoli changed her words again.
"Settle the matter." Zhou Shuxuan was afraid that she would ask more, so he helped her tuck the quilt and said, "It's getting late now, you should rest early." The emperor will officially issue the edict tomorrow, and I will go back now to prepare. ”
Miao Li was very reluctant in her heart, but she also knew that something important was important, and she was about to let him out, so she stopped him again, "Actually, I can go to the palace." I don't care about anything, it's the same as in the Eldest Princess's Mansion. ”
Zhou Shuxuan stood at the door, pretending to think about it for a while and said, "It's better to be here with my aunt, you don't have to worry about anything, it's convenient for you to take care of your body." ”
Miao Li had a very bad idea in her heart, thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "Don't you want me to go back?" ”
Zhou Shuxuan's identity has changed now, maybe his thoughts about her will change.
"What do you say?" Zhou Shuxuan walked back and hugged her, "Why don't I want you to go back." It's just that I've been busy with a lot of things lately, and I may snub you and don't want you to be sad. It's okay at my aunt's place, don't ask about anything, I'll pick you up when I'm done. ”
Miao Li still felt a little lost in her heart, but she could only compromise, "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”
Zhou Shuxuan kissed her lightly on the cheek, "Go to sleep, I'll leave when you fall asleep." ”
Miao Li nudged him lightly and said, "No need, you can leave now." ”
"I may rarely come to see you after tomorrow, so I'll stay with you for a while."
Miao Li didn't shirk it, and let him take off his boots and go to bed to cover it, after all, it was too cold, and he couldn't get caught in the wind chill if he was about to become a prince.
Nestled in a familiar embrace, Miaoli slept well. In addition, she barely slept last night, and Miaoli slept very deeply this night, and she didn't even know when Zhou Shuxuan left.
When she woke up, she was alone and bedded, and she was lying alone in it. I didn't want to get up when I woke up, and I looked at the curtain in a daze.
If Zhou Shuxuan wants to be the emperor, then his queen is ...... Xu Meitang. It shouldn't be, Xu Meitang killed their child, how could Zhou Shuxuan make her the queen. Could that be yourself? It shouldn't be possible, after all, her identity and past are there.
She didn't have much interest in being a queen, she wanted to have a child of her own. Zhou Shuxuan's first child, just thinking about it makes people can't help but hook the corners of their mouths, and then slowly hang down. When she thinks of her children, Miaoli always thinks of that pool of blood. The hand unconsciously attached to his belly, if the child is fine, it should be pregnant by now.
I can't think about it, and the more I think about it, the more sad I become.
In the Longde Palace, the emperor has already asked people to recite the holy decree and tell Zhou Shuxuan, a civil and military official, that he is the new prince.
All the officials bowed to the prince, and most of them had a smile on their faces. Zhou Shuxuan became the crown prince, which was expected by everyone, but only a few people did not look good.
After reciting this holy decree, the emperor deduced that he was exhausted and wanted to go back to rest. Everyone was happy just now, but now they are suddenly a little worried, the emperor's body seems to have lasted less than a few days, and people are looking worse and worse day by day.
But there is nothing, the prince already has it, and there are always people in the world who sit.
When the emperor went to rest, he deliberately asked Zhou Shuxuan to stay and let him approve the folds on his behalf, which was what the prince should do.
Knowing those things before, although the relationship between father and son is still not very good, it has been more or less relaxed.
Zhou Shuxuan's recital is almost done, and I want to see how the emperor is resting. He almost got out of the palace and became the crown prince, and his palace was going to move to the East Palace, and there were still some things to do.
When he went, the emperor had already woken up, leaning on the couch and drinking medicine.
"Don't be in a hurry when you leave the palace, you can also hand over the things to the people below, you can accompany me to eat in the palace." I don't know how many more meals I'll be able to eat with you. ”
Zhou Shuxuan hurriedly said: "Long live the emperor." ”
The emperor shook his head and said, "Don't say these useless things, my body knows it myself." ”
The emperor kept people, but Zhou Shuxuan was unwilling to stay.
The emperor should have asked people to prepare it very early, and the things were delivered quickly. It's all strange things, sea cucumbers, oysters, venison and some other things that Zhou Shuxuan doesn't know, it's not normal wine, but medicinal wine with a strange taste.
Zhou Shuxuanhu sat down suspiciously, these didn't seem right.
The emperor seemed to see his worry, so he comforted him and said with a smile: "This is specially prepared for you by the imperial dining room, you have helped me share a lot of state affairs, and you should make up for it." ”
These...... Is it made up for what?
"Come," the emperor glanced behind him, "come and cook for the prince." ”
Soon a beautiful woman came over, dressed very plain and not outstanding, but she was not wearing a palace dress, as if she was a woman outside.
Not only that, but there was also a one on the left hand side who poured him wine. is more charming, and Zhou Shuxuan threw a wink at him when he looked at him.
Zhou Shuxuan sat up straight, tried not to lean on any of them, and asked the emperor, "Father, what does this mean?" ”
The emperor pointed to the right and said: "This is the little daughter of the county lord of Changping, Geng's small character Qingru, I played very well with you when I was a child, have you forgotten?" ”
Zhou Shuxuan glanced at Geng Qingru again, he didn't remember anything and was skeptical of the emperor's statement. He was the same when he was a child and is now, he didn't like to talk with a straight face, and he rarely had playmates, let alone playing with a little girl.
Zhou Shuxuan shook his head and said, "Erchen doesn't remember, maybe he was too young at the time." ”
Hearing him say that he didn't remember, Geng Qingru cried on the spot, as if he was a negative man with no conscience.
Zhou Shuxuan looked at her with a dark face, even if it was really a playmate when he was a child, how normal it was that he didn't remember it after so many years. Cry what to cry about.
The emperor introduced him to the left-hand one again, "This is Lin Yanchi, the daughter of the Duke of Anguo, do you remember her?" ”
Zhou Shuxuan is very confused now, he doesn't seem to have had much contact with a few women in so many years, why did he suddenly appear so much.
Zhou Shuxuan still shook his head.
Lin Yanchi didn't cry, but raised his hand and poured a glass of wine for Zhou Shuxuan, "It doesn't matter if Your Highness doesn't remember, after drinking this glass of wine, the slave family will tell Your Highness about the past." ”
He...... What kind of alcohol to drink? He doesn't want to know at all if it's okay?
Zhou Shuxuan pushed the wine glass and pushed her hand away, still looking at the emperor, "Father, this is ......"
What do you want to do with him and find some women?
"You are now the crown prince, you don't have a single child, and the heir is too weak. If the prince is not prosperous, the country's fortunes will not be prosperous. This is the beauty I chose for you, put it by your side first, and you will give it a place by looking at it yourself. ”
Zhou Shuxuan will be like this again, but how can he accept it. What to do with Miaoli? He didn't think it was bad for a man to have three wives and four concubines before, but after having Miaoli, it was uncomfortable for him to touch other women.
"Erchen...... Erchen ......" Zhou Shuxuan wanted to refuse but didn't know how to speak, "Erchen has a main concubine and a side concubine, and he wants to devote his mind to filial piety to his father and the country." ”
"Having children is both loyalty and filial piety, and I don't want you to covet beauty, I just want you to have a few children. Speaking of which, I am also very old, and I don't even have a grandson, even if I die, I will not be reconciled. ”
Zhou Shuxuan had a headache and wanted to persuade the emperor not to fake sadness, but he really couldn't compromise. "Father, if the sons and daughters bring people back, the princess will make trouble with the sons."
Zhou Shuxuan was in a hurry and wanted to take Xu Meitang out to block the sword, but for a while he even forgot who Xu Meitang should be now.
The emperor seemed to see through him, and said directly: "You don't fool me, have you forgotten that you were still telling me a few days ago that you were going to take a break from the Xu family?" She said that she killed your heir, and now she pretends to care about her. ”
Zhou Shuxuan forgot about that stubble, and had to lie to cover it up, "Father, son...... Erchen was arguing with her at the time, and he was talking angrily, but now he has reconciled. ”
"That being the case, then she will be her crown princess well. If she doesn't even have the capacity to accommodate people, then she won't be able to be the crown princess. You can take these two back and discuss them with the crown princess, whether it is to be a side concubine or a good woman. ”
lost his wife and lost his soldiers, Zhou Shuxuan didn't want Xu Meitang to be the crown princess, and whoever did it would do better than Xu Meitang. But now that the emperor has said it, it has become a royal seal, and Xu Meitang, the crown princess, has made up her mind, and there are two more of them.
"Father, ......" Zhou Shuxuan also wanted to discuss.
The emperor waved his hand, "You don't need to say more, if you say more, it will be a rebellion, you have only been the prince for a day, don't make these big mistakes, thank you." ”
Zhou Shuxuan was helpless, and it seemed that he couldn't resist. Take it back, take it back, and if he doesn't move, it's fine. When the time comes, she will explain to Miaoli well, she is not an unreasonable person, and she should understand him.
Zhou Shuxuan obediently thanked him.
The emperor seemed to see through his thoughts, and said, "You can stay in the palace tonight, and go out tomorrow." ”
It's over, the emperor is going to make him have to accept people.
