When Zhou Shuxuan went back after dealing with the matter, he was greeted by an empty palace.

There is no warm tea and hot meal, and there is no tenderness and thoughtfulness, and the person is gone.

It's no wonder that he wants to fight this battle for a while longer, and just after a little good news, he went back to the past. Of course, it is also possible that he went too far in the afternoon and scared people away.

After standing in the hall for a while, Zhou Shuxuan really didn't have the leisure to think about these things. He'd have to hurry up and go to sleep, the war has indeed been turned around, and he'll have to get the money outside. Although he is not particularly short of money, he has to spend every penny on the blade, and he is also busy. I have to be busy just settling accounts, and I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of this opportunity to get rich.

Miao Li returned to their Qingquan Palace, and after a period of fear, Zhou Shuxuan did not let people look for her, so she was relieved.

Just as nothing happened in those days, everything can still return to normal, and it is still such a faint relationship.

From time to time, news from the battlefield comes back, the eldest princess is worthy of being the god of war, and it is a talent to lead soldiers to fight. In less than a month, eight cities had been recovered, and it was only a matter of time before four more were recovered.

Although the war is still going on, the people in the capital are not so worried. is no longer afraid that the enemy army will enter the capital, and now all that awaits is the triumph of the eldest princess.

Everything in the palace returned to normal, and Zhou Yixi and Qingxi went to school normally every day. Except for Meng Runlin being detained in the military department and He Quanzhou not letting people go, Qingquan Palace is not much different from usual.

Miaoli takes care of the children with Wuyun every day, and her life is not boring.

When it was time for school, Zhou Yixi and Qingxi returned. Qingxi shouted when he entered the door, "Auntie, good news, do you want to hear it?" ”

They were running outside, probably better informed than she was, and Miao Li nodded.

Qingxi raised his head and asked, "But I can't tell my aunt in vain, what benefits does my aunt want to give me?" ”

Knowing that he was finished, Miao Li couldn't help but smile and asked, "What benefits do you want?" ”

Qingxi put down his schoolbag and said, "Then give me a snack, I'm going to starve to death." ”

Miaoli hurriedly asked someone to serve it to him, and this could still be put forward as a condition. He just doesn't say it, and he can't eat his snacks.

Qingxi took it and took a big bite, "It's Princess Zhuangding who killed the general of Xichang with an arrow, their eldest prince, and we will win immediately." ”

This is really great news, the thief captures the king first, if there is no general, there is no way to fight. It was only a matter of time before the city was recovered, and it was only a matter of time before the eldest princess returned.

The country was about to settle down, and they were supported by the people, and finally did something for the people.

Hearing the news from Qingxi's mouth in the afternoon, Miaoli still didn't believe it at all, and Zhou Shuxuan came over to tell her in the evening.

When Zhou Shuxuan arrived at Qingquan Palace, Miaoli and the others were eating. Because he heard the good news, he also put some wine out. Miao Li was already slightly drunk, and her face was a little red.

When he saw him coming, he immediately stood up, "The concubine asks the emperor for peace." ”

It's back to before, and women's minds are fickle and hard to guess. You can talk to him well, but you still have to make him unhappy.

Originally, he was happy to come to the good news, but now there is no way to be happy.

Zhou Shuxuan raised his hand slightly to let them get up, and sat down beside Miaoli, looking like he wanted to eat with them. Mama Xi immediately handed him a pair of dishes and chopsticks, Miaoli stood aside and didn't sit down, and asked in a flat voice, "I don't know why the emperor came here so late, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Good news came from the border pass, I was in a good mood, so I came over to sit ......" Zhou Shuxuan seemed to think of something, and suddenly changed his words and said, "I'll come and celebrate with you." ”

Miaoli wanted to do nothing but nothing, but unfortunately nothing happened. I don't know what he meant by this celebration, whether it was a simple celebration or what he wanted.

Miao Li's face did not change and said, "It is indeed great news, but it should be celebrated by the whole world." The emperor celebrates alone, which is inevitably a little unatmospheric. ”

"Let's talk about it, wait until we get back." Zhou Shuxuan picked up the wine glass in his hand, shook it and asked, "Are you drinking?" What kind of alcohol do you drink? ”

"It's just ordinary wine, nothing unusual......

Before Miao Li finished speaking, she saw him drink it all with his wine glass, put down the wine glass and seemed to taste it carefully, "It tastes good, but it's a little strong, you drink less." ”

She is used to it, and when she first drank it, she found it difficult to swallow, and her throat was hot when she swallowed it. Now I drink as light as white water, and I really want to thank these wines for allowing her to get a good night's sleep once in a while. Although I had a headache on the second day, I felt dizzy and dizzy.

The clouds had receded with the children, and there were only the two of them on the table. Zhou Shuxuan tugged at her and said, "What are you doing standing, sitting." ”

There were still minions watching in the room, and Miao Li obediently sat down beside him. Inadvertently, he took back his own cup, replaced him with a new one, and then poured it full of wine and handed it over.

Zhou Shuxuan ate a chopstick dish and said casually, "I received a letter from my aunt today, and she asked me how to fight this battle?" Do you want to keep fighting? ”

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Shuxuan explained in layman's terms, "She has already brought back all her things, and she is now at the door of Xichang, asking me if I want to go in." ”

The speed is really terrifying, and I said that I was going to die before, but now I immediately stood up. I thought the story about the eldest princess I heard in the rumors was exaggerated, but I didn't expect it to be true.

I asked her this, but she answered after asking. Miao Li thought for a moment and asked, "Is there anyone still rich now?" ”

"Yes, I just don't know how long it will take. After the fight, it may be difficult for a while, and if there is a famine, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to do. ”

"Then we should continue, there may not be a famine." Miao Li clenched her fists and said, "Xichang's behavior is bad, if you don't give them some color to see, I really think we are easy to bully." I'm afraid that this time I have already formed a blood feud, and if I don't clean up their obedience, they may have some incidents in the future. ”

Zhou Shuxuan nodded and said, "There is some truth in saying it, but it is not so simple to do, but it seems that it is not possible to do it now." ”

"If you don't do it, you can't do it, but while someone teaches you, you should bring a few more generals out. If this happens in the future, there is nothing to be done. Some people have money, but there is no one who can control the overall situation, and they wait for someone to hit the doorstep. ”

Zhou Shuxuan listened quietly, ate a few more chopsticks dishes, took a small sip of the wine she had just poured, and suddenly asked, "Do you really think it's better to continue fighting, or do you want them to stay outside for a while longer?" ”

Miao Li didn't understand why he asked this for a while?

In a flash of inspiration, I suddenly understood.

They are the eldest princess and the king of Qi, and if they stay outside for a while, they will be able to be together for a longer period of time. Anyway, they are at the border, and Zhou Shuxuan can't control what they are doing in the capital. Even if two people fight during the day and sleep in a bed at night, Zhou Shuxuan has nothing to do, and he may not even know.

So what he meant by this was that he still felt that she was selfish. The high-sounding words she said were not her intention, they were just to cover up her selfishness. Until now, she still suspects her, Miaoli really has nothing to say.

"The harem shouldn't interfere in politics, if the emperor can't figure out what the concubines are for, don't tell the concubines at the beginning, find some trouble."

Zhou Shuxuan drank two glasses of wine, and the person was more relaxed, and said with a smile, "You still have a temper, I just asked one more question, and you are so cold-spoken." ”

Miao Li twisted her head to the side and said, "It's not that the concubine ran to the Longde Palace, put it in the emperor's ear and said it, forcing the emperor to listen." "You came by yourself, so it's no wonder she spoke coldly.

"I can't ask for it, if you get free sometime, you can give it a try." Zhou Shuxuan took another sip of wine, "You have a very good relationship with your aunt, it's not impossible to help her do something, don't blame me for guessing." ”

The more I listened, the more annoying it became, it was supposed to help him think about these things, but he deliberately misinterpreted it, and he had to listen to his explanation that didn't look like an explanation.

Miaoli's attitude became a little colder, "It's already late at night, the emperor has a few drinks and goes back to bed early." ”

Zhou Shuxuan drank another glass of wine, "It's like that early or late, there is no difference." ”

"Then the emperor is free, the concubine is going to sleep." After saying that, he stood up and walked into the house.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't stay, let alone stop her, and let her go. I drank a few more glasses of stuffy wine before going back.

Miao Li returned to her room, still thinking about what he had just said. Although it was annoying, I wanted to give her a wake-up call. Now that the war has been calmed down and there are available generals, why should the eldest princess come back. After driving out the thieves, it is not worth it to come back and be trapped in a small courtyard.

It's better to take this opportunity to get out of freedom forever. Anyway, if a lover eventually becomes a family, the eldest princess should have nothing to be reluctant to.

Knowing that she can't do it, she still has to do it. She herself may not be able to live happily and comfortably, but there must be someone who can live happily and comfortably.

Zhou Shuxuan's words just now were like the wind in her ears, and they didn't blow for a while, but they strengthened her determination.

Miao Li quickly wrote a letter and sent it to Meng Runlin. Let him think of a way to find a reliable person to send to the border and bring it to the eldest princess.

She did these things as if she was repaying her kindness. If she didn't do this, she would definitely feel guilty when she saw the eldest princess come back.

Even if it happens, she can take the risk.

However, she didn't expect the incident to happen so quickly, and Zhou Shuxuan came over again the next day.
