Chapter 97: The source of the problem

The eldest princess looked at him speechless for a long time.

There was nothing wrong with King Qi's words, he could say it so confidently.

It's a pity that it's not the same for people like the eldest princess who know a lot of things, she doesn't know why she feels a little sad when she listens to King Qi's words.

How was she supposed to tell him that he wasn't a prince and that he was not qualified from beginning to end. His throne was made by military merit, not because of blood.

King Qi noticed her complicated eyes, and could clearly read pity from them. How can there be mercy?

King Qi grabbed the eldest princess's hand, looked into her eyes and asked, "What are you pitying me?" ”

The eldest princess adjusted her emotions, hiding the pity in them, and looked at his hand.

He just said not to pull and pull, what is he doing now? King Qi withdrew his hand, looking a little flustered, but he didn't forget his question, "What are you pitying me?" ”

The eldest princess looked into his eyes and lied frankly, "I'm pitiing you at a young age and can't think about it, and you want to go to the loneliest position in the world." ”

"You ......" King Qi guessed the meaning of her words in his heart, "Are you also optimistic about the third child, that's why you said this to me, let me give up him so that I have fewer opponents." ”

The eldest princess has always been optimistic about Zhou Shuxuan, and he knows better than anyone else. At that time, they discussed killing the emperor, and the eldest princess's first thought was Zhou Shuxuan.

The eldest princess smiled and said well, "The third child has a lot of eyes, who does he think about these bad things?" ”

It's nice to say, but what I want to express is not that she is optimistic about Zhou Shuxuan.

King Qi still had a glimmer of expectation in his heart, clenched his fists and asked, "The relationship between you and me, shouldn't you choose me?" ”

The eldest princess's face did not change, "I treat you brothers equally. ”

She was clearly biased Zhou Shuxuan, and she was embarrassed to say anything without discrimination. He has been following her for ten years, and she is not closer to her than Zhou Shuxuan, but she only thinks about Zhou Shuxuan in her heart.

King Qi couldn't stand her partiality, so he became angry and roared: "He has incomplete limbs, what qualifications does he have to be the emperor?" If I were my father, I wouldn't even let him do it. ”

There was contempt in his tone.

The eldest princess doubted her ears, if she hadn't heard these words coming out of King Qi's mouth with her own ears, she definitely didn't believe that King Qi would say these words.

The eldest princess frowned, full of sorrow, and said with difficulty: "Have you forgotten anything, he is your brother, and you are not enemies." ”

King Qi flicked his sleeves and made a ruthless appearance, saying: "No way, there are no brothers in front of the throne, only opponents." If you insist on being on his side, then we are also opponents. ”

The eldest princess smiled, her eyes swaying on his face, as if to see if he was the same person he used to be. After a while, the eldest princess reached out and patted his face and asked softly, "Shu An, are you crazy?" ”

When did the stupid boy who always clings to her and follows her become like this? She didn't remember what she had taught him.

Her intimate movements and salutations made King Qi stunned for a moment, and then reacted again. The eldest princess had already turned on her horse and disappeared into the dust. King Qi stood alone in place, unable to let go for a long time.

Zuo Xiang went straight to the Qin Palace, and Zhou Shuxuan had already made tea and was waiting for him. Zuo Xiang is notoriously acute, no matter what the outcome is today, it will definitely come.

Zuo Xiang entered the room with a sad face, saluted, sat down with a black face, and didn't say a word.

Zhou Shuxuan smiled and asked, "Father-in-law, did you come to see your daughter today?" ”

The tone is relaxed, like a joke.

Zuo Xiang looked over, and he was already holding back the fire in his belly, but when he saw his appearance, he was even more angry. said to Zhou Shuxuan: "Lord Wang, this is not the time to laugh. Today, Zhang Ge Lao mentioned the matter of the establishment of the prince to the emperor, and the emperor seemed to be deliberate, and the people who asked were all good friends with the prince. Everyone said the prince with the same tongue, and the emperor lost his temper. ”

Unexpected, reasonable.

It's strange when the emperor didn't lose his temper with him, but fortunately he didn't go to the court today.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't say anything back, calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea gently.

Zuo Xiang waited for a while, realized that he had just lost his temper, and calmed down a little and asked, "What should the prince do?" ”

Zhou Shuxuan put down the teacup and said lightly: "There is nothing to do." ”

The emperor's attitude towards him is not a day or two, it has always been like this.

"You...... How did you? ”

Zuo Xiangkou was dumbfounded, feeling that he had been deceived into a thief ship.

Zhou Shuxuan said confidently: "It's not that my lord doesn't know the relationship between the king and the emperor for so many years, and this road is destined to be very difficult. ”

"Xia Guan knows, it doesn't matter if it's difficult or not. Xia Guan just wants to know if he can succeed in the end, didn't the prince say that the eldest princess is on your side? The eldest princess didn't say a word, and didn't say that she was on the side of the prince. ”

Zuo Xiang is really angry now, and it's just a matter of losing his daughter, what he is afraid of is that the entire family will be compensated. He also wants to be a veteran of the two dynasties, and he doesn't want to fold on the succession.

Zhou Shuxuan just wanted to speak, but heard the voice of the rescuer.

"In the big battle in the morning, if the palace speaks again, the emperor will immediately convict him of forming a party and plotting rebellion. Can you use your brain a little? ”

The eldest princess dusted off the dirt on her body and came in from the outside. In one sentence, he made his position clear.

When Zuo Xiang saw her coming, he immediately got up to worship, and the eldest princess waved her hand and said, "Forget it, worship will be waived." But now that you've stood up, just go back, and when you're older, you don't know what stability is, and I don't know how you climbed to this position. ”

The eldest princess was really interesting to train people with a straight face, and the left prime minister couldn't raise her head, and bent over and said in a proper manner: "The lower official retires." ”

was reprimanded, but there was a smile on his face. Zuo Xiang went out with a smile on his face, and the eldest princess gave him a reassurance. The eldest princess's status in the court is like the sky, and her words are not weighty.

house.

"Why is my aunt here?"

The eldest princess glanced at him, "You're newly married, shouldn't I come and see you?" Should I call the princess to come and worship the elders? ”

She didn't come here today for the court, she just replied casually.

Zhou Shuxuan knew that she was talking back, accompanied by a smiling face, "Aren't I out of line?" If I had an idea, I wouldn't have come this far. ”

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and looked at him and asked, "Why are you out of line?" You can't go on if you don't stammer? I don't think so! You marry someone else, what should you do with Xiao Shuang'er? Have you forgotten what you promised me? ”

The eldest princess patrolled the border and only came back last night. I heard the news that he had married Zuo Xiang's daughter, and it was too late to stop it.

"I really need Zuo Xiang to be on my side, as for Xiao Shuang'er, my aunt is wronging me, the problem is not with me."

He did everything he could, and he was helpless.

The eldest princess stared at him, "If you do something wrong and pass the blame on others, I have you to look good." ”

Zhou Shuxuan laughed self-deprecatingly, they were so stupid, they all thought that Miaoli would not refuse him, but they didn't expect people to refuse so simply.

Zhou Shuxuan pleaded for himself with a little helplessness, "Auntie, am I that kind of person?" It's really not my fault, don't believe you can ask her. ”

The eldest princess really didn't believe it, she believed in her eyes. Miaoli must be interested in Zhou Shuxuan, Zhou Shuxuan is also good to Miaoli, Miaoli is now Zhou Shuxuan's person again, how can she not do it in the princess. It is very likely that Zhou Shuxuan promised the position of the princess in order to win over the left minister.

"Where's she?" The eldest princess looked around the room, only to find that there was no trace of Miaoli.

"I've moved out, I'll take my aunt there."

The eldest princess got up, still not very polite to him, and said, "I have something to look for her, what are you going to do to make a fuss?" I'll go on my own. ”

Zhou Shuxuan was helpless, so he had to call someone to take her over.

When she arrived in Jinyuan, the eldest princess scolded Zhou Shuxuan in her heart, but Miaoli lived in such a place, and she took pity on her little beauty.

The eldest princess pushed open the door with one palm, and Miao Li heard the prestige, saw the person clearly, and got up to greet her. He saluted and asked, "Why is Your Highness here?" ”

The eldest princess looked at her face and deliberately said, "Come and say hello to the third child, congratulations on his successful renewal." ”

There was no change on Miao Li's face, as flat as before. The eldest princess believed Zhou Shuxuan's words a little, and the problem might really lie with Miaoli.

The eldest princess walked to the main seat and sat down, picking up the book that Miaoli had just put down, "The third child has a new princess, so you don't have any ideas?" ”

Miao Li learned what she just said: "The slave also wants to congratulate the prince, and successfully got the help of the master." ”

The eldest princess rolled her eyes, pointed to the position next to her, asked her to sit over, and asked with a serious attitude: "You tell me honestly, did the third child ever express that he wanted you to be the princess?" ”

I didn't expect her to ask such a question, but Miaoli still thought about it carefully.

When she said that she wanted a name, Zhou Shuxuan didn't know that she was trying to protect herself, and after thinking about it for one night, she went to the emperor to ask for the holy decree of the princess, which should really mean that.

"The prince has said it."

The eldest princess asked again, "Then do you know what he thinks about you?" ”

Miao Li hesitated for a moment and nodded. Of course she knew, she had only made it clear to Zhou Shuxuan last night.

The problem really came from her, which made the eldest princess a little curious, and asked, "Then can you tell me what you think?" ”

The eldest princess has always taken care of her, like a relative, Miaoli didn't intend to hide it from her, and said loudly: "The slave doesn't want to be the princess, and I don't want the prince to be interested in the slave." ”

Miao Li said resolutely, the eldest princess sighed, and scolded Zhou Shuxuan in her heart for being something she didn't have, and she couldn't even win the favor of her favorite woman, and she had lived in vain for twenty years.

"Why?"

Miao Li looked down at the tips of her shoes and grabbed her skirt nervously. In front of Zhou Shuxuan, she may be able to prevaricate in a few words, but in the face of the eldest princess, she has to face her heart.
