Xu Meitang never came to Zhou Shuxuan again, and did her own thing with peace of mind. Zhou Shuxuan gave her enough face, she couldn't give face without shame.

While the palace was holding Xu's funeral under the auspices of Xu Meitang, Zhou Shuxuan handled official affairs and met with courtiers as before, as before.

In Zhou Shuxuan's heart, the absence of a side concubine he didn't care about was not a big deal, and the Xu family had no children, so it was even less important.

Tomorrow is the day of the funeral, and Zhou Shuxuan hasn't even looked at Xu now. Seeing that Zhou Shuxuan had finished dealing with the matter at hand, Miaoli handed over a cup of tea and took the opportunity to say, "Shouldn't the prince go and see?" ”

Zhou Shuxuan said coldly: "Let's talk about it tomorrow, I will pass it tomorrow." ”

Even in the past, it was just an appearance.

Miaoli's work on her hands did not stop, as if she said inadvertently: "The prince doesn't seem to care too much about the life and death of the people around him." ”

Zhou Shuxuan raised his eyes and glanced at her while holding the teacup, wondering if there was something wrong with her, why should he care about someone who he couldn't see once a year. He and Xu are clearly separated from husband and wife, but they have no essence of husband and wife, let alone any feelings.

That day, her father begged him to marry Xu, and later did things under his banner, which was originally an exchange of interests, and he had nothing to care about.

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at Miaoli a few times without saying a word, she seems to be the perfect candidate for a wife, and Xu Meitang, who is framed by everyone's beautiful standards, may not be able to compare with her. If you don't like it, you can push him to others unscrupulously, regardless of whether you are dead or alive.

If she is in Xu Meitang's position now, he will be very happy, and a princess who does not look for trouble and has a strong ability to manage affairs is what he needs very much. But he was not like that to Miaoli, he had other thoughts, he wanted her to have a friendship with him, even if it was a little bit.

No man wants the woman he likes to push him to other women again and again, that is a sign of not caring about him.

Thinking back to the past, he had a crush on her at first because she was beautiful and smart, but now it seems that all that is left is beauty. Zhou Shuxuan began to wonder if she was smart, how smart she was always making him angry, and she began to feel that it was not so important to like her.

If he can ascend to the throne in the future, he will definitely not be the only woman by his side, and he will definitely not be able to give her the kind of life that does not have to fight with women. Some things are not endured and passed, and there is no need to persistently pursue them.

be

Feelings have never been the main thing in his life.

Miao Li saw that he hadn't said anything for a long time, thinking that he was angry again, and just wanted to kneel down and admit his mistake.

Zhou Shuxuan raised his hand to stop her, and took the first step to say her words: "Since you know that I am angry, why did you say those words just now?" ”

"Slave maid......" Miao Li was speechless for a while, and she didn't know that he was angry until she finished speaking.

Zhou Shuxuan held his breath and continued: "I don't believe you don't know that I will be angry when I say those words, I think I have shown it obviously, I don't want you to say what I want to say to other women." ”

Miao Li was not only not happy when she heard these words, but a little angry. muttered in a low voice, "They are no one else, they are the wives of the prince, and the prince should be responsible for them." ”

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at her helplessly, and then covered his face, only to feel a headache. He didn't see those concubines in the harem doing anything for the emperor's favor, but she didn't care at all.

Zhou Shuxuan thought about the reason carefully, and there was probably no reason. She doesn't need to be pampered to get anything, and she has no feelings for herself, so she can say such things.

Very well, there is a limit to his patience, and Miao Li successfully crossed his limit today.

Zhou Shuxuan was furious, and his voice was a little louder, "My wife is only one princess, and the others are just playthings, including you!" Those who have no children and no daughters and can't even enter the jade disc are just passing by the clouds, what do you want me to do, I love everyone like the sea? When pigs fly! How can I not be responsible for them, I am already responsible for the husband and wife who are just exchanging benefits. ”

"But...... Wang Ye ......, "Miaoli wanted to refute, but she didn't know where to start.

Zhou Shuxuan looked at her very uncomfortable now, turned his face and said, "I don't want to listen to you, go out!" ”

He is very confused in his heart now, and he understands what Miaoli means, that is, to give affection or favor to no woman in the palace. He couldn't do it, absolutely not.

He really can't be equal to everyone. When he was a child, Concubine Liang often taught him to be wholeheartedly devoted to others when he met a girl he liked, otherwise the girl would be very sad. He did, but something went wrong with the girl.

I remembered the phrase in my ears again, the body and the emotions can be so separated......

Spell!

He couldn't help but think about Miaoli's past when he thought of this, if it weren't for the fact that Miaoli was still finished when she entered the mansion, then he really had to wonder if she had summed up the experience.

Miao Li lowered her head and went out, Wei Hai was very experienced, she came out like this, either she quarreled with Zhou Shuxuan, or she made Zhou Shuxuan angry. Wei Hai could even guess the reason, Zhou Shuxuan was now angry with Miaoli only for the sake of feelings.

Seeing that Miaoli was about to walk past her, Wei Hai stopped her and said, "Girl, the prince is really sincere to you. ”

Zhou Shuxuan tortured himself every time he quarreled, and he bowed his head first. Wei Hai didn't want to see Zhou Shuxuan so sloppy, so he wanted to persuade Miaoli.

Miao Li didn't reply, she knew that Zhou Shuxuan might have true feelings for her, but she didn't quite understand whether she needed his affection very much.

Wei Hai continued: "In the past, the prince was indifferent to everyone, and he always spoke with a straight face. After the girl came, the prince became more lively. I used to hope that the prince would be interested in that girl, if I had known that it was a girl, I would have hoped that the prince would not be interested in anyone, the previous prince was much better than now. ”

Miaoli still didn't speak, but she didn't leave either, quietly waiting for his next step.

"I don't know why the girl doesn't like the prince. But even if the girl is not the prince's concubine, she is just an ordinary girl, and she will always marry in the future. Why can't you choose the prince, the appearance and family background are not top-notch. Although his temper is not very good, he has nothing to say to those close to him, let alone a girl. Think about it, girl. ”

"I know," Miaoli replied in a low voice, "Then I'll go first." ”

Miao Li doesn't know why, and she feels like she's in turmoil lately. From that night on, she didn't seem to be as indifferent to Zhou Shuxuan as before. There was a small voice in her heart that kept reminding her that she shouldn't do that, that was Zhou Shuxuan's sincerity, and she should treat it well.

Not knowing where to go, Miao Li sat on the steps of the door, clasped her knees with her hands, and wanted to take a good look at her heart.

Wei Hai didn't say much, and went into the house to listen to Zhou Shuxuan's instructions, only to see that Zhou Shuxuan didn't have much energy, leaning on the table as if thinking about something. Wei Hai sighed in his heart, when will these two people achieve positive results.

Zhou Shuxuan thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with any results, but he still had a lot of things to do, and he couldn't be stumped by love. Asked Wei Hai to push him over, continue to read those official documents, and force himself to read them if he couldn't read them.

Miaoli outside the house thought about some results, men are unreliable, but Zhou Shuxuan may be different.

Qi Wangfu, Jing Zheng was still unsure in the end, and asked again, "Lord Wang, are you sure that this is the case, it is His Royal Highness the King of Qin, if the eldest princess knows, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

King Qi looked resolute, "So you have to be careful in your actions and don't let her know." ”

"But ......"

"Not so much, but, do what I tell you to do."

Jing Zheng still disagreed in his stomach, but he had to go out.

After the funeral of the Xu family, Zhou Shuxuan still did not recover his attitude towards Miaoli, and he has always been indifferent.

His coldness made Miaoli finally figure things back to before. She witnessed the departure of the two women in the palace, and Zhou Shuxuan became colder than the other. If she's gone, maybe he's the same.

In the evening, Miaoli soaked Zhou Shuxuan's feet and pressed his legs as usual, Zhou Shuxuan felt that his legs seemed to have improved a little, they were warm these days, and sometimes he actually felt that he could use his strength. I want to share it with her, but I don't think it's necessary, and she doesn't care anyway. cares that he has a chance to ascend to the throne, not him.

After waiting for Zhou Shuxuan to go to bed, Miao Li lay down beside her as usual. She wasn't very resistant to lying down with him like this, and even felt that it felt pretty good.

In the past few days, she has woken up and is not in Zhou Shuxuan's arms, maybe not because she is not honest in sleeping.

The familiar smell fell to their noses again, and since Xu's death, they rarely spoke. He used to talk to her before going to bed, but now he doesn't have the heart to do so.

Thinking that she was a block of ice also covered her up, if he just wanted to be an idle prince he wouldn't give up, but he couldn't.

Lying in bed for a long time without falling asleep, Zhou Shuxuan suddenly asked: "If your father is still there, and you are still a lady of the official family, what do you think you are like now?" ”

She will be twenty years old after the New Year, and if everything is okay, she will definitely be married a long time ago, and now she may not have several children.

Miao Li replied naturally, "I'm probably married, but it's very likely that I haven't." ”

She has had an idea since she was a child, and when she first reached the marriageable age, she wanted to marry someone she liked. After going through so much, she realized how difficult it was to meet someone she liked.

Zhou Shuxuan changed the topic again, "Then if you can leave the palace, what will you do?" ”

"Go out and where you want to go."

Zhou Shuxuan didn't say anything, but he felt in his heart that maybe he could let her go and fulfill her wishes. He doesn't want any of her strategies, he can do the same. But keeping her around would be too much trouble and would cost him a lot of his thoughts.
