Miaoli leaned back in her chair in a daze and didn't speak for a long time.

Qingxi stretched out her hand and poked her and asked, "Auntie, what are you thinking?" Doesn't my aunt know if they're brothers? ”

Miao Li lowered her head, smiled and said, "They are brothers." ”

Qingxi nodded, "I just said, I don't know if I have a younger brother, what name my father will give him." As if he suddenly remembered something, Qingxi said to Miaoli again, "Auntie, you haven't praised Qingxi yet." ”

Miao Li stretched out her hand and hugged him into her arms and said, "We are really happy. But you're only fourth, are you so happy? ”

Qingxi nodded without thinking about it, "Yes, yes, Qingxi is already very powerful." I'm younger than a lot of them, but they're not as good as me, and fourth place is pretty good. ”

He would comfort himself, but this character is really very good, and he is always content. can let him live a stable and prosperous life, but he is really powerful, after all, he is only so big.

The succession continued like this, no different from what Miaoli thought, Zhou Shuxuan let Qingxi participate really just to let children play, and there was no special meaning.

It was true that she thought too much, and it really frightened her, for fear that Zhou Shuxuan would include Qingxi in it.

But now that she knew about the succession, she inquired a little more.

After layers of investigation, there were three children left in the end, which happened to be the three that Qingxi said.

People in the palace are speculating whether Zhou Shuxuan wants to put these three children in the harem to raise, after all, the eldest of the three children is only nine years old, and he still needs his mother.

After having this idea, the people in the palace had a feeling of squeezing their heads, and they all wanted these three children. Although it is not his own, it is not born to any woman in the palace, and it was personally selected by the emperor, so it will definitely be very valued.

If the child is raised in his own palace, the emperor will definitely look at the child from time to time. While watching children, they will definitely say a few words to adults, so that they may have feelings. In case he is favored by the emperor, it will really be a great joy to have a prince at that time.

Although they all want these three children, none of them want to treat them as children, but first use them as tools to compete for favor.

Xiao Zhuozi heard these words outside, and when he returned to Qingquan Palace, he couldn't help but chat with Mama Xi for a few idle days.

"If only one of the three little nobles could come to us, Niangniang will have a lifelong support."

At least one child, not too much.

"That's right, but it depends on whether the mother is willing or not. Then again, how could a mother be willing? If she really wants, she is willing to have one by herself, and there is no need to raise other people's children. ”

Miao Li listened in the room, and felt that it was indeed reasonable to say this, and she knew her very well. Raising Qingxi and Meimei is that they are related by blood, and they are both members of their Meng family. As for the others, she doesn't have that much to spare. It was Zhou Shuxuan, not hers.

Besides, it's not her child who is also the flesh and blood of someone else's father. She also doesn't want to watch her innocent child become bad little by little, it should be a very painful process.

The good thing is that Zhou Shuxuan didn't put any of them in the harem, and he raised them himself. He knew the minds of the people in the harem, and if he didn't want to deal with anyone, it was impossible to put the child in any human palace.

And this is still a candidate who may inherit his throne in the future, and he has a relationship with the people in the harem, and he recognizes an adoptive mother or something, and it is estimated that he will do something again, and it is annoying to think about it, so it is better for him to bother a little more.

But Miaoli should still be met, and there is no problem with having a relationship with Miaoli.

No matter what aspect it is, according to Miaoli's character, it is impossible to teach bad children, only it is possible to teach children as much as possible. And she doesn't have a mother, so nothing big can happen. He also wants to be close to his children and Miaoli, this may be their child, and Miaoli should also be regarded as a mother.

But he can't bring people over directly, and if he brings them over, Miaoli will definitely not get close to the child.

After thinking about it, Zhou Shuxuan finally came up with a good idea, let the three of them work hard to be friends with Qingxi, and let Qingxi take them to Miaoli.

In the end, he succeeded.

In the past, Qingxi went back alone after school, but today I brought three people back.

Miao Li was stunned for a moment when she saw three people behind him. Qingxi ran over to introduce, "Auntie, they are the three brothers who were better than Qingxi that Qingxi said that day." ”

Although they are not brothers, and they are still far apart, they are barely brothers now.

The three of them knelt down in unison and kowtowed to Miaoli.

"Erchen greets Meng Niangniang."

The title alone can explain a lot of things, and it looks like Qingxi brought them back, but in fact, someone should have asked them to come over. But the adults didn't come, and Miaoli couldn't do anything to the children.

The child is such an innocent existence, and this child is still a child who is inexplicably mixed in. Miao Li greeted them in kindly and gave them food.

I have to say that Zhou Shuxuan selected these few very good, although they are not very old, but they are all experts. Seeing that Miaoli's spirit was not very good, she got up and said goodbye, without causing her any trouble, she just came to see her today.

After the three of them left, Qingxi ran over and asked Miaoli, "Auntie, do you like them?" ”

Miao Li thought for a while and said, "It's reluctant, I don't feel anything." ”

"But the people outside said that they would be my aunt's sons in the future, and my aunt should like them. If they are the sons of their aunts, are they Qingxi's cousins? ”

Someone outside is talking nonsense to him again, Miaoli can't prevent it, those people outside seem to have big mouths, and they all love to talk nonsense in front of Qingxi. Qingxi is also an extremely smart person, he listens to what others say, not only listens to him, but also takes it to heart. In his heart, he still has to take it seriously, and if he is serious, he will leave Miaoli in front of him.

Miao Li pinched his ears and said, "Don't listen to other people's nonsense, they are not my aunt's sons." Not now, not in the future, it has nothing to do with you, remember? ”

"That's a pity, Qingxi still wants to have a brother. There are many people who let me take care of me. Just like my sister and I. Auntie, you are obviously older than my father, why don't you have any children now? ”

This is really a heart-piercing word, although it is a child's words, but it does hurt to tie up the heart, Miaoli didn't know how to answer for a while.

Mama Xi stretched out her hand and hugged Qingxi down and said, "The little master has been playing for so long, it's time to do your homework." ”

Qingxi hung her head helplessly and said, "Mama, why do you have such a good memory?" Isn't it okay to pretend to forget? I still want to play, I don't want to do my homework. ”

Mama Xi took him to the house, "But tomorrow Mr. will hit the palm, isn't the little master afraid of pain?" ”

Of course, I'm afraid of pain, although he is smaller, but the gentleman in the south study treats him as harshly, he should be beaten, he should be punished, and he will not be soft at all.

After that, the three children came to visit the door from time to time. is familiar with Miaoli, and it is only a familiar face, Miaoli is still polite to them, without any feelings.

Feelings are really wonderful, so you must be cautious and can't give it easily. Although you can't see or touch it, it's really uncomfortable.

The three children felt Miaoli's coldness the same, but the three of them had different thoughts in their hearts.

It's not that they don't know anything about staying in the palace, and they may become emperors in the future. However, there are many factors that determine whether the three of them can be emperors in the end, or who will be emperors. So it can be said that they are now in a relationship with the women in the harem who take advantage of each other.

It is just a matter of process for a mother to be more expensive than a child, and for a child to be more expensive than a mother.

Miaoli is the woman with the highest rank in the palace, that is, the most noble woman. At first, all three of them were willing to come to Miaoli, but after feeling Miaoli's coldness, two of them were not so willing to come.

They can't waste time, since Miao Li can't help them speak, don't spend too much time on him, they should find another home.

Zhou Shuxuan found out about this matter, and did not intervene in it, so he let them develop on their own.

Being able to stay is only the first step, and after entering the palace, there are still tests everywhere, and if you feel a little uncomfortable, you will lose the opportunity.

The only one who is willing to continue to go to Miaoli is Zhou Yixi, and he is also the biggest.

From the beginning, the three of them came together, and in the end, he came alone, Miaoli was a little curious, and couldn't help but ask him: "No one else is coming?" Why do you want to keep coming? ”

"Because I love it here."

"Why?"

"Quiet, not so much to say. It's also more relaxed, Meng Niangniang, you don't love Erchen very much. ”

was said by the child, Miao Li smiled and asked, "I don't care about you, are you willing to come over?" ”

"That's right, the emperor is too fierce, he has to do everything well in front of him, but he doesn't need it here. And most importantly, Erchen prefers celebratory toys. If he's happy, he'll lend it to me. ”

Celebratory toys?

It's the big box of small things she carved for Qingxi, and Miao Li also found out, and he seems to really like it.

Zhou Yixi wrote his homework, looked up and said, "Actually, my son didn't want to enter the palace, my father and mother forced me." If he could, he would like to be a carpenter even more. ”

Exactly the same as her childhood wish, Miao Li couldn't help but want to laugh, stretched out her finger and pointed to his homework and said, "You wrote the wrong place in this place." ”

Something just happened so unnaturally, and she didn't want to be entangled with these children. But things are so uncontrollable, she really likes this child.
