Chapter 48: The Feast

"The prince seems to be in a much better mood."

Miao Li pushed him back and asked Zhou Shuxuan carefully. I suspect that he and the emperor have eased, maybe everything will turn around.

Where is he in a good mood? He can't wait to go back to the emperor. He was unconvinced and unconvinced by that tirade, and the emperor was simply crazy!

Zhou Shuxuan sighed and said, "I gave up resisting." ”

The emperor has lost his mind and plans to go all the way to the dark. He can't really kill the emperor with a knife, and he can't afford to kill his father, no matter what the starting point is.

"Don't talk about that, let's talk about this year. I don't know how long it will be in the evening, so I'll go and rest for a while. ”

Zhou Shuxuan didn't say that he felt weak now, and he should have been poisoned again. Now the future is uncertain, and how the body is is not particularly important.

Miao Li pushed him back and waited for him to rest. I didn't have any feelings, so I sat in the room in a daze.

This is the most prosperous place in the world, and it should be the most lively day, but it is extremely deserted. When ordinary people celebrate the New Year, the family is reunited in a small courtyard, which is naturally very lively. It's a pity that the palace is too big, and the royal relatives can't fill such a big mansion at all, and there are too many rules, and there are no people at all during the New Year.

Therefore, it is the rules that bind the excitement outside, and it is right to say that the emperor is a lonely man who stands on the supreme position, and there is no possibility of any family affection.

Miaoli thought of Zhou Shuxuan again, he seemed to be born to be an emperor. No relatives, no close friends, not even a beloved woman. All the things in the world that have something to do with love words have nothing to do with him.

Thinking about it, there was a sense of expectation in her heart, she really wanted to know if Zhou Shuxuan also had the day when she was trapped by love, and slowly thought about it farther and farther.

Time is a very useless thing, and it passes by as soon as it is mixed up. It was getting dark, Miaoli stood up and stretched, moving her muscles and bones. After sitting all afternoon, my bones froze together.

Miao Li got up and walked to Zhou Shuxuan's bedroom, it was not early, it was time to call Zhou Shuxuan to get up.

He actually slept all afternoon, Miaoli vaguely felt that something was wrong, was the poison going on again?

Xia's woman is hateful and vicious, just hook up with other men, why kill Zhou Shuxuan.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, it's time to get up."

Zhou Shuxuan woke up in a daze, his eyes were empty, he was obviously refreshed when he slept, but when he woke up, he looked even worse, and his face was pale.

Miaoli called someone outside to come in and serve Zhou Shuxuan together, and I have to say that Zhou Shuxuan's movements are really fast. Now the people who are waiting in front of Qingquan Palace have changed from little palace maids to little eunuchs.

Don't talk about others, Miaoli is now beginning to wonder if Zhou Shuxuan doesn't like women. But after a few glances at the little eunuch in front of him, he was not very good-looking. It's best to look at the barely beautiful Shangqing, and the others can only be regarded as ordinary.

Whether Zhou Shuxuan likes men or women has become a big secret.

Xi Mama stayed on the side and handed something from time to time, without being close to him.

Zhou Shuxuan saw that he had almost cleaned up, and said, "Today's palace banquet is in the Flowing Light Spring, and you all wear a little." Don't get caught with the wind and cold and pass it on to this king. ”

is obviously a word of concern, but he said it so ......

Mama Xi next to her subconsciously exclaimed when she heard this, "How can you be in the Streamer Spring?" ”

Qingquan Palace is remote and there are not many people coming, so the news is very ill-informed.

Zhou Shuxuan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Mama Xi sighed slightly, "It's not a big deal. After thinking about it for a while, I felt that there was no need to hide it from Zhou Shuxuan, so I said: "The slave maid will go there every year to worship the mother, but this year it can't." ”

"Mama is hearted again, I'm going to worship this year."

There are always people who remember his mother, how could such a person who is still remembered by the slaves after he is dead come up with a poisonous plan to kill the queen?

Mama Xi smiled with relief, "Yes, the prince will not only trouble the prince this year, but also in the future." ”

Xi Mama This is a good word, I hope Zhou Shuxuan has always been favored by the emperor.

However, when these words fell into Zhou Shuxuan's ears, there was only a long sigh.

By the time the group walked by the Flowing Light Spring, it was already set up. Set up a high color shed, and all kinds of palace lights stand on both sides, changing the night to the day. The lights are scattered on the surface of the lake, like colorful stars. There was an endless stream of ladies and women coming and going to the palace, and the eunuchs were busy shuttling among them, bringing a bit of warmth to the cold palace.

The streamer spring she saw yesterday was completely two places, except that the spring was from yesterday. Miao Li glanced at it a few times, and only felt that power was really a good thing. Only the royal family can transform a place so quickly.

Miao Li sighed, "Lord Wang, it's so beautiful here." "If nothing else, this arrangement is like a fairyland on earth.

Zhou Shuxuan said with a cold face: "It's all useless work, costly and laborious. He saw nothing but the silver flowing out of the white flowers, and nothing very beautiful.

Miao Li pursed her mouth, this is Zhou Shuxuan, and there is no one who can't chat more than him.

"Third child, you're here pretty early."

The voice of the prince came from afar, and Miao Li heard the prestige. I saw the crown prince and the princess coming over with a majestic spirit, and his whole body was full of excitement.

The current crown prince is already the same as the prince when he asked the emperor for peace, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart when he looked at Zhou Shuxuan.

Zhou Shuxuan said with a smile: "The younger brother is soft-spoken, he doesn't dare to put on a score, he came here early and waited, so as to serve the emperor and His Royal Highness." ”

The prince smiled sincerely, and patted him on the shoulder, "Who are you serving as a prince?" Besides, you really can't serve anyone like this now, let you take something and let others push you. ”

This is saying that Zhou Shuxuan's leg was broken, and before Miao Li could come back sarcastically, she heard the crown princess say: "Your Highness, my father is coming soon, Your Highness should go and prepare first." ”

The prince did not miss the forbearant expression on Zhou Shuxuan's face, he had already gotten his wish. Anyway, he will understand everything today, and he is not in a hurry at this time.

"Then Gu went to pick up his father first, the third child, Gu and you have to have a few drinks tonight."

After saying that, the prince left proudly, and the princess stayed and said with a smile: "Don't take the third brother to heart, His Royal Highness the prince is so straightforward, in fact, he still cares about the third brother's legs very much." ”

The attitude of the crown princess is really Miaoli, she is a little surprised, the woman who led people to make trouble in the Meng family before is not like this. is as arrogant and domineering as other rich ladies, how can she be so gentle and petty?

Zhou Shuxuan said politely: "It's okay, my brother won't take it to heart." The younger brother is inconvenient, and now he has to go to sit on the table first, so he will not accompany His Royal Highness, and the younger brother will retire first. ”

"It's okay, you go to yours."

After the two finished their polite interactions, Zhou Shuxuan waited for Miaoli to push him over, and waited for a long time without waiting for her to do it. I had no choice but to look back at the past and said coldly, "Let's go." ”

Miaoli reacted and replied, "Yes." ”

When the crown princess couldn't hear it, Zhou Shuxuan asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

"The slave maid has been in contact with the crown princess before, and it is completely different from now, so the slave maid was strange just now."

The crown princess was born in Jiangmen, and she used to have more or less masculinity, but now she only has the gentleness of a woman.

"What's so strange about this, she didn't have a good time marrying the crown prince. You have to discipline your subordinates, be careful to please the prince, and serve the emperor and the ladies in the palace. It's been more than ten years, shouldn't you be like this? ”

Miao Li was stunned for a moment, Zhou Shuxuan's words were too straightforward, which made her not easy to accept.

No matter how bright and extraordinary a woman is, will she lose her luster after she gets married? She suddenly felt a little sad in her heart.

Before, she didn't think about whether to choose a wishful husband to marry after leaving Zhou Shuxuan, but now she doesn't want to marry. It's good to be alone, and you don't have to wronged yourself for anyone.

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at her and asked, "You don't seem to be happy?" ”

Miao Li nodded and admitted, "It's a little unhappy." The slave maid thinks that it is better for a woman to marry someone who really respects her, and she doesn't have to wronged herself for anyone. ”

Zhou Shuxuan scoffed and said: "You say these things like a fool's dream, why should men respect women? ”

said words of contempt for her, but Zhou Shuxuan was unconsciously thinking in his heart how to respect her.

"The emperor has arrived." The eunuch shouted at the top of his voice.

The concubines who had already sat down just now and a few little princes stood up and bowed, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Get up, today is a family feast, don't be polite, everyone raise a glass and drink, don't be restrained."

The emperor glanced at the crown prince and nodded with satisfaction. His eyes swept to Zhou Shuxuan again, and the smile on his face was not so deep.

Now there is no queen in the palace, and there is no concubine. The concubines were headed by Concubine Jin.

Concubine Jin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Dance Division specially choreographed a dance for the Streamer Spring, and asked the Emperor to take a look at the dragon's eyes." ”

"Announce it." The emperor didn't seem to be in much interest.

Miao Li looked at Concubine Jin from a distance, I don't know if it was because of the lights, she couldn't see it very clearly. She really couldn't tell that Concubine Jin and King Qi were mother and son, and there was no similarity on their faces. Miao Li glanced at the emperor again, and the emperor and King Qi were even more different.

The emperor's nose is high and straight, which is extremely obvious on the faces of the crown prince and Zhou Shuxuan. But on King Qi's face, he really didn't see anything.

When she was out of her mind, a platform rose on the streamer spring at some point. There were a few dancing girls standing on the stage who were dressed very coolly in winter, and Miao Li looked at them and panicked for them, and this dance was indispensable for a serious wind chill.

There was a sound of bamboo next to me, and the dancing girl danced to the music. Not to mention the soft waist with the clear music, I really want to be blown by the breeze, Miaoli didn't have much interest in it, but now she is fascinated.

But looking at it, with a "bang", a dancing girl fell into the water, causing ten thousand splashes.
