It's been three days, and no one has gone to court, all waiting for the emperor to give an explanation.

On the fourth day, a holy decree came down, saying that the Heavenly Guardian had changed the celestial phenomena, and that the heavens had hinted that this period was not suitable for the poster, so the matter of the posthumous matter would be discussed later.

The officials all thought that they had won, as if they had scared the emperor if they didn't go to court, but they didn't know what the situation was in the palace.

As one of the concubines, Lin Yanchi also always pays attention to the situation of the queen. She knew that it was impossible for the queen to be her turn, but she didn't want Miaoli to be made the queen either. said that he wanted to see if the emperor was sincere, but what he did now was far from enough.

In case Miaoli is bought by the queen, she forgives the emperor, then everything she did before is meaningless.

Although there is no queen, the concubine may be much more.

If anyone enters the palace, they will all be her friends, and they will always be Miaoli's enemies. Only by making the emperor less infatuated can they continue to survive. There is no point in fighting, otherwise it is meaningless to be together.

There is no need to bother to make any excuses, there are so many empty houses in the palace, and no one comes in to live in them. And now there is not even a child, for the sake of the heirs, the emperor has to let people enter the palace again.

Her preparations are almost done, as long as she hands over a message outside, the big girls will come in waves.

Some are better in appearance than Miaoli, and some are more talented than Miaoli, see how long the emperor can hold on without changing his mind.

After the holy decree was sent, Zhou Shuxuan felt dizzy and couldn't think anymore, and he didn't want to deal with government affairs, he just wanted to sit quietly for a while.

People outside may think that he is succumbing to the boycott of the hundred officials, but they don't know that he is succumbing to the people who provoke the boycott of the hundred officials.

In order not to be this queen, she can ask the people of the previous dynasty for help, so what's the point of giving this queen to her. It's better for him to take a step back and make her happier.

Zhou Shuxuan sat quietly, looking out the window, the luxurious red wall glazed tiles looked not as good as the palace.

What is the point of him sitting in this position?

In the Qingquan Palace, Xiao Zhuozi read Zhou Shuxuan's holy decree in its original form and Miaoli. Xiao Zhuozi looked frustrated, feeling that the emperor did not insist at all, if the emperor insisted on standing up, who could stop him.

Miao Li was the opposite to him, with a smile on his face, half-leaning on the couch, peeling oranges and eating them in a good mood. Seeing that Xiao Zhuozi's face was not very good, he took another one to him, and said with a smile: "Didn't you want to congratulate me before?" Now is the time to congratulate me. ”

Xiao Zhuozi held the orange, looked at her dejectedly, and said helplessly: "Congratulations to Niangniang." ”

Miaoli echoed: "This is indeed a happy event, go and tell Mama Xi, one person will be rewarded with two taels of silver, and make dumplings to eat at night." I remember your favorite dumplings. ”

"Xie Niangniang is worried, and the slave has retired." Xiao Zhuozi was too depressed.

Miao Li waved at him, still with a smile on her face, and said, "Go, go, go." ”

After Xiao Zhuozi left, Miaoli looked up at Xiaohong again, and saw that she was also heavy, so she asked, "Aren't you happy too?" ”

"Slave maid...... There is nothing unhappy about the slave maid, the mother can do whatever she wants, and the mother is happy. ”

Miao Lili sat down on her side, put a petal of orange in her mouth, and asked, "Is that what you say in your mouth, and what you think in your heart?" ”

"The slave is worried that the mother will regret it in the future, just like before...... Of course, these things are heard of by slaves and maids. In the past, the emperor was still the prince, didn't he just want to make Niangniang the princess? Niangniang was also reluctant at the time, so the emperor did not succeed. But in retrospect, if Niangniang had been willing, many things would not have happened. ”

This is indeed a long-term stretch, if she had agreed at the time, there might not have been Xu Meitang, and some things would not have happened. But who knows if something will happen? It comes in different ways and ends up with the same result.

Miaoli persuaded: "It's not interesting to think so much, and you can't go back to the past when you think about it." ”

Xiaohong asked: "Niangniang, to be honest, did you regret not being a princess at that time?" ”

Miao Li was silent for a moment, thought seriously for a long time, shook her head and said, "No, some things are destined to happen, no matter how you dodge, you can't hide from them." Even if I had to do it all over again, it might still have evolved into what I am now, and I don't regret it then, and I don't regret what I'm doing now. ”

Xiaohong still tilted her head, looking like she couldn't figure it out, Miaoli patted her hand and said, "Don't think about it, what's more, he didn't let me be a princess at that time." ”

"Why?"

"Because the emperor could not have agreed." Because the emperor also took a fancy to her.

The weather is getting cooler and cooler, and the palace is already preparing things for the winter. Li Youfu had just finished being busy and was busy again, and she didn't see anyone for a few days.

In addition to wearing a few more clothes, Miaoli stayed in Qingquan Palace every day as before, and did not take a step out of the door.

Zhou Shuxuan was depressed in his heart, and he devoted himself to political affairs, and successfully made himself sick. When he was sick, he didn't let go of what he was doing, but fortunately he was the busiest person in the world, and he had endless things to do.

"Ahem, you said Xichangguo before...... What's wrong? Zhou Shuxuan asked He Duzhou after drinking the medicine.

"Minister......" He Duzhou glanced at his sick appearance, paused for a moment and continued: "The minister said before that they seem to be a little uneasy. ”

"Ahem, how do you tell?"

"It's been cold these days, and the minister wants to buy some leather for his relatives to make clothes, but the people in the family have gone to see everywhere, and they only bought some inferior leather back after visiting the entire capital. Almost all of my country's good leather comes from Xichang country, so the minister is puzzled. After inquiring, it was said that Xichang was not allowed to trade between the two countries, as if some kind of decree had been issued. ”

"What is the specific decree, you have to ask for it. But...... Cough...... Why did they do it all of a sudden? ”

This minister couldn't figure it out for a while, and after thinking about it for a long time, he came up with a very bold guess. The emperor forgives the ministers for their innocence, and the ministers dare to say it. ”

"Say."

"Xichang has been friends with our country for many years, and it is not without reason that it is close to him. But now Concubine Jin is indeed good, but her son ......"

Having said that, it is enough, Zhou Shuxuan already understands. Or for the sake of King Qi, degrading King Qi to a concubine is already for his sake, and he can't be more tolerant of those things. Xichangguo couldn't understand him, and he couldn't help it.

"Let's see how they're doing. Look at how much money the household has, if there is a surplus, I want to change a batch of armor and weapons for the border soldiers. You also urge the cotton clothes for the winter. ”

"The minister will do it as soon as possible." He Duanzhou glanced up at him, and said, "The emperor himself also wears more clothes, and the dragon body is important." ”

Zhou Shuxuan nodded slightly.

He Duzhou said boldly: "It's good that there is still a caring person by the emperor's side, and there is always something that the father-in-law can't scruple about." ”

The middle palace is now empty, and there is no queen mother on it, no one says these things in front of the emperor, only them, who are ministers, think about him.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't even look at him, and said directly: "I don't care about what you did before, don't talk about it again." ”

was said to be right, and He Duzhou's heart was a little weak, but he still didn't give up. "What the minister said was true, and the minister cared about the emperor. If there is a lady in the palace, remind the emperor that it is cold and he must add clothes. The emperor probably won't get sick. ”

"Talking about the court, why did you go to the harem again. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, I think it is still fairer, and the previous dynasty is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the harem. Zhou Shuxuan said with a hint of anger.

"Your Majesty's words... The emperor's affairs are all political affairs, and the ministers are anxious. ”

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at him, feeling that they all had problems, he was not in a hurry, he didn't know what they were anxious about, and said extremely impatiently: "Kneel down." ”

He Duanzhou felt that he had reached the limit, and he didn't dare to persuade anymore, so he withdrew for fear of persuading something.

Zhou Shuxuan lowered his head and returned to the dragon book case to continue to look at the excerpts, his harem is now like playing chess, it has reached a dead end, and he is trapped in it and can no longer move. There was nothing he could do, and he didn't dare to make a move.

So be it, maybe it will get better.

After more than half a month, Zhou Shuxuan's illness has not improved. He Duanzhou didn't want to mention the matter of the harem, but he suddenly had this idea in his heart. He felt that he was useless alone, and he had to find some people to help him.

Even if there is no queen mother, it is impossible for a queen mother to do whatever he wants in the harem.

He Duzhou mentioned it casually in the political affairs hall, drinking tea and chatting with the adults on the side, "I don't know when the emperor's illness will be cured?" ”

Someone on the side said, "I've been sick for a long time, but I don't know why." ”

Someone else lowered his voice and whispered: "The emperor is young, and he will always get better." It's just that this mess has passed for a year. The emperor doesn't have a princess on his knees, I don't know what will happen in the future. ”

"Yes, the first emperor has already given birth to the five princesses at the emperor's age, and the emperor's heirs are a little too thin."

"Then what's the solution, there are only three mothers in the palace. The emperor is not satisfied with any of them, and the emperor is diligent in government, saying that he only sleeps in the middle of the night every day, so how can he have time to think about his heirs. ”

Several people lowered their voices, and you and I started one by one.

"The emperor has no children, and the country's fortunes are not prosperous. Didn't you say that the emperor loved the concubine very much? Why don't you have any children? ”

"Who can say clearly about the things in the palace. It seems that the lower officials are still not many mothers, and when there are many mothers, how can there be a prince. Mr. He, did you say that? ”

"That's great."
