Chapter 119: Humiliation in front of the palace
In the morning, Miaoli didn't sleep very well these days, and woke up early every day.
I got some food for the small and big animals, and the other two people didn't get up yet. Miao Li went to the kitchen, thinking about heating up last night's dishes, and the porridge in the pot was almost ready.
The pot had just been heated, and Miao Li poured the oil into it. Lu Guangbai ran in with his coat on, snatched the spatula in her hand, and muttered on the side of his mouth, "Didn't you ask you not to stir-fry?" You don't listen to what you say a few times, get out of here. ”
Miao Liji looked at the shovel with an apron, and said with some grievances: "Don't let me do anything, what do you do with your hands and feet, I will starve to death in the future." ”
It's because she accidentally burned her hands when she was cooking last time, and Lu Guangbai didn't let her touch the shovel after that, and the gentleman who said that he was a good cook could only lie to him.
"I just didn't let you do it, and I didn't let you eat it, and you just had to eat it when I made it in the future." Lu Guangbai took a plate, neatly shoveled up the dish, and handed it to Miaoli: "Take it out." ”
Every time Lu Guangbai said these words, Miaoli didn't know how to answer, and in this year's time, Lu Guangbai was very caring and considerate of her.
From the beginning, Lu Guangbai made it clear what he thought of her, but she never accepted him. It was an indescribable feeling, every time her heart was a little shaken, she would think of Zhou Shuxuan without exception.
Maybe there wasn't enough time, so she hadn't forgotten about him yet.
obviously didn't feel that he loved him hopelessly at the time, why can't he forget it?
She is still worried about others in her heart, so she can't have any response to Lu Guangbai, that would be unfair to him.
After setting up breakfast, Jiebizhi got up on time. Yawned and sat down at the dinner table, looking at the two of them with a sad face, "Take leftovers to perfunctory me again, I don't have a few days to live, can't you give me something good?" ”
Miao Li glared at him, he didn't have a few days to live, and he went up yesterday with a sound of a bird's nest, and a young man in his twenties and thirties may not be as flexible as him.
Miaoli said angrily: "Do you like to eat or not, don't eat and do it yourself." ”
"Murderous." Jie Bizhi held the porridge bowl and muttered, "I remember that you weren't like this at first, a little girl who knows a lot about books, and it's sweet to be called by a miracle doctor." ”
Miao Li didn't even look at him, and said in a serious tone: "It's not like I quarrel with you every day." ”
Jiebizhi was aggrieved like a child, "Can't you let me?" ”
Miao Li couldn't help but smile, and pretended to be serious and said, "No, you haven't said let me yet!" ”
Jiebizhi glanced at her, wrinkled his face, struggled for a long time, and finally compromised and said, "Okay, I'll try to give you a word next time." ”
Miao Li couldn't hold back her laughter, if it weren't for Jiebizhi's reminder, she would almost not be able to remember what she used to be.
Are you a well-informed lady? Or a palace concubine who swallows her anger?
Either way, I'm not as happy as I am now. There are no rules, no restraints, quarrels and quarrels every day, such a life is something that I could never dream of before.
Lu Guangbai didn't participate in the war between the two people at all, and when he saw that the two were almost arguing, he asked Miaoli: "I'm going to the capital today, do you want to go?" ”
The capital, such a distant place.
Miao Li shook her head, "Don't go, be careful on your own road." ”
To be honest, she doesn't know where she is in the capital now, and she doesn't know how far she is from here to the capital. She didn't want to know either, because she never thought of going back.
"Is there anything you want?"
Miao Li still shook her head and reminded him again, "You are not allowed to buy me anything, I really don't need anything." ”
Lu Guangbai would bring her some things back every time she went down the mountain, what kind of fat powder hairpin rings, porcelain clay sculptures, and all kinds of strange gadgets, she already had a big box in the house.
Lu Guangbai explained: "If you don't go down the mountain, bring some things over to relieve your boredom." ”
Jie Bizhi didn't want to interject, this was a good time for the apprentice to behave, but when he heard that he was bored, he suddenly became interested, and whispered on the side: "Monkey, monkey can relieve boredom, clever and cute, I even planted a peach tree." ”
Miao Li winked at him, "I'm talking about relieving my boredom, not relieving your boredom, why are you so excited?" ”
"Hmph, sooner or later, I'll have to make you two little angry and don't want to play with you." Jiebizhi dropped his job and left.
Seeing that the person was gone, Miao Li smiled and said, "If you meet it, buy him one and come back, I've been thinking about it for a long time." ”
Lu Guangbai nodded.
Miaoli always felt that the capital was not very far from here, because Lu Guangbai could run a round trip in two days. But Lu Guangbai's foot strength is also very scary, before Jie Bizhi asked him to send medicine to Wudang Mountain, he came back on the third day.
No matter how far away, it doesn't have much to do with her.
In the Longde Palace, Zhou Shuxuan stood at the head of the civil officials.
Yes, he was standing.
In order to be able to maintain a standing position, he had a wooden plank tied to his legs and a cane in his sleeve.
He has been planning carefully for a year, and now he can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person. If it weren't for these legs, he would have ascended to the crown prince long ago. Half of the ministers in the court supported him, and there was no prince who was equal to him, and even the king of Qi was on his side.
But no matter how good he is, the emperor doesn't like him. It's uncomfortable to see him, it's a stereotype. would rather leave the position of the crown prince empty than let Zhou Shuxuan take the throne.
Zhou Shu declared hatred to the bone, but there was nothing to be done. Because the emperor has a reason, the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom can never be a person with inconvenient legs.
So Zhou Shuxuan insisted on standing up every day to go to court, and the wooden plate on his leg was almost embedded in the flesh, and he didn't cry out in pain. After working so hard and paying a heavy price, he must get what he wants.
If his legs are very good, it is impossible for the emperor to have an excuse to gag him. The last hour or two of the dynasty became the most painful time for him every day.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair with the fourteen princes in his arms, as if he had announced the demonstration last week, which was to tell him that he could not sit on the throne.
The fourteenth prince was less than five years old, and he was still a glutinous little ball, but he was not stunned at all, and looked at the civil and military officials below with wide eyes.
After the emperor hugged him for a while, he suddenly said to the fourteenth prince: "Father is a little tired, go and play with your third brother." ”
The fourteenth prince responded crisply, "The son obeys the order." ”
Then he trotted directly at Zhou Shuxuan, the strength of an adult man to a child is not painful at all, but Zhou Shuxuan is different, it is extremely difficult for him to keep standing.
King Qi on the side realized that something was wrong and wanted to reach out to pull the fourteenth prince, but he was a step too late, and Zhou Shuxuan was easily thrown to the ground by a child.
There was a lot of commotion in the court, the fourteenth prince was so frightened that he cried, and the king of Qi helped Zhou Shuxuan up.
fell in front of hundreds of officials, what a great humiliation.
The emperor deliberately humiliated him, Zhou Shuxuan endured the anger in his heart, and after standing up, he gently pushed King Qi away. He arched his hand and said: "The son of the minister lost his honor in front of the palace, and asked his father to give him his sin." ”
The emperor sat on the first place, and said in a strange manner: "Even a child can't stop it, if he has an enemy country attacking in the future, do you still expect you to be able to stop the enemy army?" ”
Zhou Shuxuan hadn't replied yet, King Qi clenched his fists and said: "If he has an enemy country attacking in the future, his sons are willing to serve the monarch, and he will not give up his death, and any enemy army will be vulnerable." ”
The emperor threw a sharp look, "I'm talking to the third child, what are you talking about?" ”
King Qi retreated stupidly and glanced at the eldest princess. The eldest princess shook her head slightly, signaling him not to be impulsive.
If it weren't for the fear of being accused of bad crimes, and for not wanting Zhou Shuxuan's position to sit in a position that was not right, it would be said by later generations that he had obtained the throne by improper means. The eldest princess has long wanted to understand the emperor, how can she keep him to this day?
The emperor is also a grasshopper after the autumn, and after a few days, the eldest princess stood aside and watched, with no intention of interjecting.
The emperor turned his head to Zhou Shuxuan again, "I am sick all day long, I should rest in the mansion, you can go back first." If you are not in good health tomorrow, you can come to take leave and not go to court, and I will approve it as long as I want. ”
This is to forcibly give him a holiday, so that he does things without thinking about his body. When you realize that the power in his hands is getting bigger, you want to kick him away, it's not that easy.
Zhou Shuxuan bent down and said without anger or sadness: "The son obeys the order." ”
Then he clenched his fists tightly and walked out in a strange posture. The plank on his leg seemed to be broken, and he could feel the thorns swimming through the flesh. He can't cry out in pain, so he has to go on like this.
Miaoli's medicine that day did make him feel better, but the effect was only like that, and it didn't make him completely like a normal person. After that, I looked around for a few more Langzhong, but I still couldn't do anything about his legs.
Zhou Shuxuan gritted his teeth and walked all the way out of the palace gate, Wei Hai waited for him outside the door, and helped him onto the sedan chair. Pulling open his trouser leg and untying the wooden plank that had been tied to his leg, it was indeed stained with blood.
"Lord Wang, this ......" Wei Hai held the plank, looked up and asked him what was wrong.
Zhou Shuxuan said in a flat tone: "In order to humiliate me, the emperor let me fall in front of everyone. ”
Wei Hai let out a long sigh, distressed and sad. helped him deal with his wounds, while chattering, "It's not a long-term solution for the prince to go on like this, tying these things every day doesn't cure the symptoms or the root cause, you still have to find a way to heal your legs." ”
Zhou Shuxuan said in a flat tone: "It's easy to say, do you think I don't want to?" But how can it be so easy, none of the Lang Zhong invited are unlearned. ”
He didn't have a day to worry about these legs, but there was nothing he could do.
Wei Hai thought for a moment, raised his head and said with a firm look in his eyes: "It's useless to invite you, then the prince will go out to find out." ”
