Chapter 40: Provocation
On the right day, Miaoli dressed up according to Zhou Shuxuan's requirements.
This time was as shocking as the last time, Zhou Shuxuan finally got used to her face, and she didn't feel very amazing, she suddenly changed her body again.
The face is like a crown of jade, and the shape is like an orchid tree, but anyone who is not firm in his heart will be confused. Thinking about Mr. Meng, how can there be such a good blessing, the children born by his wife and concubine are all extraordinary.
Zhou Shuxuan said goodbye to his eyes, and kept telling himself in his heart that he was a man, and the person standing in front of him was also a man now.
Zhou Shuxuan stared at her without speaking, and his face became more and more weird. Miao Li thought that there was something wrong with her dress, so she shook her fan and asked, "Lord Wang, is there anything wrong with the slave?" ”
Zhou Shuxuan shook her head expressionlessly, she has no problem, and if she has a problem, it is also her parents' problem, who gave her such a good look. Zhou Shuxuan still felt a little uncomfortable, coughed lightly and said, "Do you remember the place clearly?" Are you ready to say anything? ”
"Everything is ready, the time is almost up, and we can go."
Zhou Shuxuan glanced at the sky, and the snow began to fall in the air again. Today is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the New Year is about to begin. I hope that today can give a perfect end to the past and a good start to the new year.
Chunlai Restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Beijing, and it is the best donkey meat in sauce. It's the New Year, and I want to eat a bite of donkey meat in sauce. It's been more than half a month, and it's full every day, but today's Chunlai restaurant is full of birds, and it's not normal.
There was no one inside, but there were a lot of people standing outside. All of them have cross-faced, fierce and hungry, and they are very difficult to mess with.
Miao Li got out of the carriage and was startled by this situation, and immediately reacted. The prince is really too ostentatious, and he dares to be so arrogant when he has such a big quarrel with Zhou Shuxuan, he really relies on the emperor's favor to do whatever he wants.
Zhou Shuxuan assigned a guard to her today, and Miaoli took the guard to cover her face with a fan.
Before I could enter the house, I was stopped at the door.
A butler-looking man stretched out his hand to stop her, "Boy, don't you see that no one is allowed to enter here?" Don't you have eyes? ”
Miao Li covered her face with a fan, and said without the slightest fear: "I am the person your lord invited today." ”
"Don't fart, our lord invited a little girl today, who are you fooling?"
The slave follows the master, and it can be seen from this slave that the prince is not a good product. But this time she wronged the prince, these people belong to the Li family, and the prince is not so bad.
The people of the Li family moved from a small county town to the capital, but they still couldn't change their ruffianism. used to be under the banner of Zhou Shuxuan, but now with the support of the prince, he is naturally rampant and domineering.
Miaoli put down the fan and didn't speak in a suppressed voice, "Open your dog's eyes wide to see if I am the person invited by your master." ”
The dog shook his head and looked around carefully, slammed his hand and said, "It's really a little girl, she looks pretty good." After speaking, he slapped his mouth again, his attitude changed drastically, and he nodded and asked her to go in: "Girl, please, it's a slave who doesn't know the girl's true face, don't take it to heart." ”
Miao Li didn't want to look at him more, she lifted her robe and walked in, but without taking a step, a voice came from behind, "Who are you kid?" Can't get in. ”
Looking back, the dogleg stopped He Yuan again.
Miao Li went back and gritted her teeth and asked, "Are your dog's eyes blind again?" He came with me. ”
The dog slapped his legs, bent over and said, "Yes, yes, the minion has not had a good eye lately." The girl please, this young master please. ”
Miao Li complained about Zhou Shuxuan in her heart, what he wanted to say couldn't be said directly to the prince, he wanted to pull her, she really didn't want to deal with these fools.
When Miao Li entered the door, someone who looked like a man told her to go up to a well-furnished private room.
There was a young boy inside, wearing a Wensheng son's scarf, and a flawless jade was inlaid in the center. This son is either rich or expensive, but he is not a prince, he should be a member of the Li family.
Why did the prince have a heart at this time, and he knew that he would send someone from the Li family out first, and he wanted to do a full set of plays.
The boy inside raised his head when he heard the voice, and was stunned when he saw that it was "him". After two more glances, he recognized that it was a woman, stood up and said, "Miss Miaoli is here, come in and sit." ”
Miaoli entered the house and sat down, the prince here still looks good, like a piece of dusty jade, but it's a pity that he is mixed with the prince.
Miao Li took the tea he brought and asked, "Childe seems to be very close to me, haven't you seen me before?" ”
Li Gongzi blushed, lowered his head and said, "Under the ...... Next...... I hadn't seen a girl before. ”
Miao Li chuckled, "Childe hasn't seen me before, what are you asking me out for today?" Isn't it for a private meeting? I also have a token of love from my son. ”
Li Gongzi's face became redder and redder, and he was about to drip blood. Miao Li didn't want to tease him, so she changed her tone and said seriously: "It's probably not Gongzi who asked me out today." What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Let him come out. ”
Li Gongzi finally raised his head, with a shocked face, "How do you know?" ”
Without waiting for Miao Li to reply, a person walked out from behind the screen and said to Li Gongzi, "Okay, you go down first." ”
Miao Li stood up and saluted, "Miao Li, the concubine of the Qin Palace, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Then slowly raised her head, the prince was surprised to see her face clearly, his hands froze in mid-air, his eyes were shining, and the dark tide was rolling inside, and he couldn't suppress his excitement.
The prince looked at it for a long time before asking, "Who are you?" ”
Miaoli saluted again, "The slave maid King Qin is the concubine Miaoli, and the prince has seen the slave maid in the palace." ”
"No, you're not." The prince rushed over like crazy, "You are Meng Qing, not a concubine." You're dead, why are you still alive? ”
Fortunately, there is He Yuan, who quickly blocked Miaoli behind him. The prince didn't succeed at once, and suddenly became angry, and shouted loudly at He Yuan, "Get out, if you don't get out of the way, your whole family will be destroyed." ”
"Your Highness, his whole family has been destroyed a long time ago, and it will not be your Highness's work." At the door, He Guang pushed Zhou Shuxuan in.
The prince turned around suddenly, "Why are you here?" How did you get in here? ”
Zhou Shu Xuanyun said lightly: "Under the care of His Highness, I didn't walk in, I was pushed in. ”
Miao Li breathed a sigh of relief and stood behind him, Zhou Shuxuan came to represent her and sang almost the play, and the rest of the time was just a decoration.
"Lone didn't ask you this, Lone asked what you were doing here?"
Zhou Shuxuan smiled faintly, "Didn't Your Highness take a fancy to my concubine?" It turns out that the crown prince doesn't really want to show his father in the palace, but it's okay, as long as His Highness wants to see her, I can send her over to His Highness at any time to see. ”
The prince pointed at Miao Li and said in disbelief: "How can he be your concubine?" He's obviously a man. ”
Zhou Shuxuan said calmly: "Whether she is a man or a woman, I know better than His Highness." It's just that if she is blessed, she will give birth to a son and a half daughter for me, and she will invite Her Highness to eat and drink. ”
The prince saw that what he said was not like a lie, and glanced at Miaoli again, how could he have such a similar face, saying that he didn't believe it if he didn't come back from the dead. With a lot of doubts in his heart, the prince suddenly changed his attitude, sat down and prepared to have a good talk with Zhou Shuxuan.
"Third child, didn't you say last time that you would give her to Lone? Lone took it. ”
Zhou Shuxuan laughed, "Your Highness also said that it was last time, and now it is this time." ”
The prince's hand holding the teacup clenched a little, and he peeked at Miao Li again, slowly let go of his hand, and said, "We really haven't had a good time lately. Who made Lone is brother, a little older than you, but adults don't care about villains. As long as you hand her over to me, what happened before will be written off, and you will return your King Qin after the New Year, and you will be alone in your glory and wealth for the rest of your life. ”
A write-off? It's just too beautiful, and I know who the villain is. How can the villain's promise be trusted? Besides, he disdains the glory and wealth of a woman in exchange. And he wants more than just glory and wealth. If he was just an idle prince, he wouldn't have fought so hard.
Zhou Shuxuan shook his head, and there was regret in his tone, "The conditions given by His Royal Highness are really tempting, and I only want to be glorious and rich for a lifetime." However, His Royal Highness said this too late, and his father and the emperor told her to follow me well, and asked me to find an opportunity to give him a serious name in the future. ”
The crown prince keenly grasped the key point and asked, "Does my father know about her?" ”
Zhou Shuxuan nodded, as if inadvertently mentioning, "That day she told me that her real name was Meng, and I didn't wait for a moment, and went directly to the palace to tell my father." ”
The prince's hand holding the teacup shook and almost spilled the tea on himself. Obviously not believing what he said, he asked again: "What's wrong with her surname Meng?" Can't the surname Meng give her to Lone? ”
"As soon as I have my father's holy purpose, I don't dare to act on my own. Second, I know my father's intentions, and my father left her in my house to ensure her safety. She also specially instructed me not to let His Highness discover her. So I really can't give her to His Highness. ”
The prince's hand shook again, and this time he spilled his own tea, but he didn't seem to notice it, and laughed dryly, and said, "Third brother, you seem to have something to say." What is her identity, why don't you tell me directly? It's not fun to play dumb riddles like this. ”
Zhou Shuxuan said unhurriedly: "I only said that her surname is Meng, and I didn't say anything else." She can't be the descendant of Mr. Meng, who advised her father today. Mr. Meng's family members have all been sold into prostitution, if my father knew that she was Mr. Meng's descendant, how could he let her stay with me? Does His Highness feel that his father regrets his decision that day? No way, the father was for His Royal Highness's holy decree that day. Now that he still loves His Highness, it is absolutely impossible to do that. ”
The prince was anxious, stood up and pointed at him and said, "Third brother, don't you want to sow discord." ”
Zhou Shuxuan pretended to be innocent, "What did I say?" I didn't say anything, it was His Highness who thought too much. His Royal Highness's position today is still stable, no matter how many bastards he is doing, his father will continue to protect His Highness. Just like that day, he was able to kill an old friend for decades for His Highness. ”
The prince sat back on the stool, his face complicated.
